Guys,
I can't be the only one experiencing this. I've tried it all, even bought a new WiFi setup with all the bells and whistles, still the same problem.
WiFi not only disconnects it completely turns off and after a few seconds turns on again and around and around we go.
Sometimes it's on and stay connected but as soon as I do anything more then surf the web or instagram, for instance downloading a file, it turns off again and goes into spin.
Am I the only one?
I've tried stock rom incl the newest firmware since a few days. Rooted, unrooted, two different custom ROMs. Nothing helps.
Faulty device mate. Especially if you have tried everything.

hey i have p5100 and when i turn on wifi using notification bar toggle,then going to seetings,it hangs and settings appears as a white screen
and or when go to settings before turning on wifi,then turn it on it cant find any network and hangs again.... :'(
what to do now?
I have an issue with my p5113. Just got off Live Chat with Samsung... but they weren't any help. I am also on stock 4.0.4 and my wifi drops all the time... but I have zero drops with my laptop and phone... I will try to watch youtube or netflix and boom, its gone and comes back a few minutes later. Ive tried googling i, but no help there. Just get a bunch of results for the gum drop case lol. If anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated!
On the Galaxy player 4.0 some people had trouble with certain routers (cough, Belkin, cough) not wanting to connect or dropping and what they did was set a STATIC IP for the player, any time I had trouble with my SGP 4.0 not connecting (like after flashing a ROM) simply unplugging the power from the router and plugging it back in solved it (and the laptop was connected with no issues when my player had the issue) so sometimes even if other devices are working fine it's worth the 30 seconds it takes to pull the routers power cord count to 10 and plug it back up.
As for the OP, you could try a Factory Reset, if that doesn't work then you might have a defective tablet.
its not about router.it used to be connected but now...NO!!
I've had the 4.4.2 OTA about 2-3 weeks now, and for the most part its worked fine but as things go on I am noticing it starting to go a bit buggy. I have had issues with my Wifi, like this morning turned the phone on and it would not connect to my wifi, sure it saw it and it had full strenght but it would not connect to it, I went in manually and selected it nope nothing, I forgot network and connected again, nope nothing, restarted the phone nope, after 5 restarts it connected. I've also had issues with wifi connecting when coming out of airplane mode, everything else turns on but I have to mess around with wifi to get it going again.
Also had issues with apps crashing randomly, also had periods of sluggishness for no apparent reasons.
Anyone any ideas?
About the Wifi, try the Wi-Fi fix in this forum, maybe that'll help. For me stock is going absolutely fine. I was on OmniROM, but the updates start becoming a little buggy for me, so I switched back to Stock.
Hello all,
Like thousands of S4 owners my wifi also doesn't work. But my problem is a little strange.
My wifi when I enable it, it says 'Turning On' and stays there for about three minutes and returns to off again.
But sometimes it just works.. it connects and internet is full speed and all is well.. then suddenly after sometime it stops again.
I am in this dilemma since over two months now and I don't know what to do.
Because it works some time I suspect it could be a battery issue, the wifi demands certain current from the battery and when the battery is not able to provide it the wifi won't start ( I have tried with the charger plugged in also, it behaves the same, wifi wont work ), although I am no expert in this.
What I have tried so far,
Tried installing 5.1.1 rom,
Tried installing stock ROM,
Tried various times to rename wpa_suplicant file
Tried without SIM and without SDCARD
Tried with a different battery
Opened the phone and re plug that blue wire
Tried 4.4.2 stock ROM
etc etc
No use, I have to depend on phones mercy till I get WIFI and data packages are very expensive here
Please advice something else I can try
Thanks.

If it was software then your wifi would just not work at all.
It's hardware failure.
I have an S7 edge (SM-G935F) that currently runs the Superman rom. It has a strange issue where suddenly, out of nowhere, wifi stops responding. It has done this before, but then it was on stock rom. It was actually one of the reasons I reflashed it. After flashing, everything was fine for 2-3 months and then it started acting up again.
It's so bad that I now mostly run it on 4G (luckily I have a 35GB plan) because it can take upto a full minute to get it to respond on wifi after it's been sleeping.
As far as I can tell, the problem manifests itself like this:
* Phone has been unused for a while, wifi is on, wifi is connected to a network (problem is not network specific)
* I try to open any app that uses data, no response. If I just keep hammering retry/refresh/update etc it starts responding after anywhere between 20-60 seconds.
* During the non-responsive period the wifi-icon sometimes gets the little exclamation mark, but not always.
* After a period with wifi off it sometimes uses 20+ seconds to refresh and connect to a known hotspot.
I can probably fix it again by reflashing another rom, but I'm afraid the problems will be back in another few months.
Any suggestions on what I can try (besides returning it, I'll do it if I have to, but I'd rather not). Are there any wifi logs I can check after the problem appears next time. (I know how to use a terminal)

Install the stock rom. It was your faulty custom ROM if all get back to normal.
Sure, I can do that. But you did see that the problem existed before I installed the custom rom right?
The original manifestation of the problem was the reason I flashed another rom in the first place.
Hi, im having this problem for a while, and some other phones are showing this problem also (here)
in summary, phone connect to WiFi, works great, turn screen off, put phone down, and after a while, phone is now unreachable. can't connect to it if i have a ftp server on it for example, can't connect on whatsapp on the PC cause it need the phone connected to work, messages won't arrive, or arrive after 15 minutes of delay.
if i pick up the phone, unlock, WiFi does not work, it keep showing only the "up" arrow and no "download" arrow. can't connect to internet, can't connect to local PC (VNC for example) nothing works. after 30 seconds or so, it comes back, and internet works. sometimes it does not. disabling WiFi and enabling again, everything works fine. if put to sleep, everything start again.
the weird thing is, usually after update to a new version of MIUI (for example, the last 12.0.5.0 a few weeks ago) the problem goes away for a few days. always works great, every time, no problems. a few days later, the problem appears again.
tried everything i could find, no option helped, tried even disabling magisk/xposed, etc, to make sure no "mod" was causing it, nothing.
my only options now are formatting and starting from 0 or try another ROM, like LineageOS, but i'm trying to avoid cause i have tons of customized apps, bunch of banking apps, and everything works fine, except for this one problem.
any help appreciated!
PS: during the whole time, the wifi do not get "disconnected", it remains connected but not working. also tried different routers, no change. using only 2.4ghz.
I installed Lineage OS, the problem didn't show up anymore.
installed all the apps previously installed, everything still working fine for over a week.
I guess was just software related...
