I've noticed that I'm losing Wi-fi connection very often. Its coming randomly... first for example I using browser Dolphin HD and connection is lost...
2nd - I turn Prime in the morning for the first time and doesn't work immediately.
After restarting it works, but this is happening now almost every day.
Wi-fi antenna shows half of signal so this should be working. But the problem is that antenna is in grey color instead of blue color.
U know if you click manage WiFi settings then click option screen there is a advanced setting where you can change WiFi to best preformance this should help you

I see no option for best performance in advanced settings????
Go to wireless settings hit manage WiFi access points hit menu then hit advanced then check box for performance

I think he is talking about the wifi disconnection policy. No such thing as "performance" in wifi settings.

About what kind of "policy" are you talking about ? i didn't hear anything about that..... what is that normal to lose wifi connection? nothing we can do?
At the wifi screen, at the very top right corner of your screen next to the add network button there is a button with 3 squares on it. Tap it, then tap advanced. Then change Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep.
Do a factory reset and see if you have same problem maybe its a bad update/flash
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
Also try restarting your modem/router and see if that helps. Sometimes the fault may not be on the device itself.
I also have this problem!! The wifi disconnects very often on my campus which makes things really annoying. It seems like an software issue to me though since restarting the wifi makes all the wifi networks display and connect again (until it disconnects again) I have yet to try the factory default solution though.
I still didn't fix this, internet is working fine during that time on PC, but Prime loses connection somehow, I just turned it on and he started of without Wifi connection...

When the Prime loses connection, the only solution that works for me is to turn my router off, then back on

I get back connection after restaring Prime, but that isn't really a solution doing it every day, its annoying at least.

You're lucky. Rebooting the router each time is a pain
WiFi connection
when i upgraded from Transformer to Transformer prime i had this problem constantly. I had to remove the WiFi network profile and re-add it. that seemed to fix the profile going in and out.

Hello everybody!
Someone of you has noticed a poor WiFi reception on Hero?
I'm experiencing a poor WiFi reception in my house when Hero is connect to internet thru an access point.
What happen is that after WiFi connection has been established the phone tends to loose it and restart connection thru GSM/3G link.
That happen also if phone stay in the same place without moving around and also when phone is close to access point location.
Any idea about way to solve the problem?
Regards.

Just an upgrade on issue...
If I turn off data connection thru GSM/3G and switch on WiFi seem that WiFi connection is stable so maybe issue come when both data connection are enabled...
Anyway is annoying shout down each time data connection on GSM/3D and power on WiFi!
Regards.
i believe wifi goes idle when not in use. so it connect to 3g or edge. However there is an app if not various in the market already to help keep wifi always on..
Do a search for wifi and see for yourself.

Thanks for suggestion!
At now I've solved turning off GSM/3G data connection when I'm at home anyway I guess that WiFi reception sometimes go away due to issue of the phone or maybe as way to save battery...
when that happen phone stay unconnected so I guess that should be better if I will check for apps that keep WiFi connection always working!
Alex
when the device goes into standby, the wifi is turned off to save battery poweer, and it will go back to 3G.
go into the wifi settings, press menu and select advanced.
select the timeout options
set to never and it will not turn off when in standby.
problem solved and you shouldn't have to turn off Mobile data, although with the settings widget on your homescreen turning mobile data off off each time is hardly going to ruin your life. in fact i tend to do this anyway, just cos i have spent too many years with windows mobile....
Here's an annoying bug I've found tho - on TMob UK
If I send an MMS from home, wifi on, it sits there, and doesn't send the message. Until I turn off wifi and 3G kicks in again.
Now I know for a fact that on my Magic, it was able to turn on 3g/HSPDA to send the message all by itself. Might have a look in thodse advanced settings tho to see if there is something I can do.. Not a biggie, just a bit of an annoyance.

I too, have been doing a search on Forums all over Google looking for a resolution to this.
I have noticed if Wi-Fi is enabled I am unable to send or receive MMS messages.
It is an annoyance having to turn Wi-Fi off each time also I am never to know if someone has tried to send a message in the first place.
Currently using T-Mobile G2 (rooted with MCR Rom 2.8) on T-Mobile UK
This seems to be a problem with android itself. Wifi never automatically connects to saved networks when in range.
I have to use an app called wifi fixer to monitor my wifi connection- it connects to a wifi network that I have saved when it is in range.
Below were my original questions I posted in the general section by mistake. After a lot of searching I found the folder organizer app can create short cuts to folder or categories for apps. So I can have a short cut in the launcher that goes to all my games, or utilities.
I haven't figured out how to make the cell radio being turned of be persistent. So I just have my device set to airplane mode- but when I reboot it I have to turn the wifi back on.

1. I'm on StreakDroid 1.6.0 and everything is gravy cept for WIFI not connecting automatically. That seems to be a problem with Android itself. For me it is a problem because I'm not using a dataplan because I get free wifi through my cable co. I'm using csipsimple with my old gizmo5 account that I bought with my n810.
2. Does any launcher do app draws? I'm using Launcher pro and it would be nice if I could put a folder in the dock to store all my games.
3. Anyone know if I can use 2 bluetooth controllers with this on emulators? I'm still waiting on my Datel classic wiimote but it would be awesome if I could use two controllers.
4. How do I remove the No Sim card message? I use this as a wifi device and I had it set to airplane mode for a while but then I found the app "any cut" and made a short cut to turn off the cell radio. Apparently if I have it set to airplane mode it turns off wifi by default- and I thought that was the reason why wifi doesn't connect automatically but I still have to manually initialize wifi. I have wifi set to never sleep btw*
5. Turning off the cell radio isn't a persistent setting it seems. Does the cell radio still use battery power if there's no sim card in the device?

Streak WIFI Issues
I am having the same problem. Running 2.2 with 318 baseband. Phone can find wifi but will not stay connected. Phone goes into an endless cycle of connecting and immediately disconnecting. I am able to get WIFI to work by putting the phone into airplane mode. Anyone have a fix??
Are you using the stock rom or dj_steve's? I've heard of people getting disconnected from wifi if the signal is weak. There's a way to turn of data on 3g under wireless settings. I believe that would prevent it from switching between 3g and wifi connections.
I don't really have this problem though. Once it connects to one of my saved networks it stays connected. It's just that android doesn't do this automatically when a saved network is in range.
WIFI Issues
I'm on stock rom. WIFI signal doesnt seem to be in the issue as I have been within 5 feet of the router and had the issue happen. I'm reluctant to turn 3G off as I need it on to make and receive calls in my house via Microcell.
You probably have to change that setting under wifi that puts the wifi radio to sleep when the screen turns off. I have mine set to never.
You may also want to run wifi fixer- which will automatically reconnect you when you get disconnected.
I'm going to try this:

Try rebooting your wireless router. I have 2 netgear wgr614's. One at home, the other at work. After several connect/disconnects, it goes in the connecting/disconnecting loop until I reboot the router. Go figure...
What I did that seems to have worked is to set up a static IP address instead of having the router assign it for me (DNS). Since then my Wifi connects every time. I could be wrong but it seems to have worked for me.

You mean DHCP not DNS. Mine always connects when tuurning wifi on but if left on and my streaks sleeps for an extended amount of time it will not connect till I turn wiring off then back on. I also have wifi sleep policy set to never. Had that issue with nexus one as well.

I had this problem once before IIRC. Do you have any apps or settings enabled that automatically turn the WiFi off when you're not in range? Something like Y5 Battery Saver or anything of the sort? If you have any apps like that, uninstall them or force close them then try and connect.
I don't have any app. But my wifi automaticaly turn off whenever my screen off. I can't connect any wifi :sly:

Try this - Blade WiFi Fix
Its for the Blade but works on other phones, it keeps the WiFi alive when the screen turns off.
Hope this helps
Also if it works please post here and comment on the app so other people know if they get the same problem as you

Do you have access to the router you are trying to connect to?
If so try changing the channel its on.
Apparently (from reading on another forum) if there is another router in range that's on the same channel it can cause android phones to struggle with connecting.
You could also try - Spare Parts Plus which allows you to change the sleep status
And - Blade Buddy which lets you change your phones WiFi scan interval

Older thread but doesn't seem solved...
Looking at the above, have you checked your wifi sleep policy? It may be set to disconnect when the screen turns off instead of persisting in the background.
This worked for me
I had a similar problem and found it was DHCP. I have 2 iPads, 1 Droid pad, 2 Droid phones, and an iPod in the house. The Apple devices were attempting to seize IP addresses held by the Droid devices.
The Apple devices were trying to get the last IP they were issued and were ignoring the DHCP deny messages coming from the router and mindlessly retrying the request until eventually they either managed to get the IP they wanted or they just took it. (the latter, I think) When that happened, the Apple device would appear in my list of connected devices, the Droid would be out, and it would lose its connection.
After I entered static DCHP reservations for all the wireless devices in the house, my constant disconnects went away.
I would try setting a reservation for your Droid outside the DHCP range configured on your router.
The fix
Im not trying to revive a dead thread but im just trying to help. If you are having the constant disconnect and reconnect wifi problem , it's because your android phone sucks and cannot take the automatic wifi N. Go to your router settings and set to "Use G only". It will work.
Worked perfectly on my parents LG L7 (free phones from fido) I guess it didnt support N at all. My router was on "Mixed A/B/G/N" settings.
Hope this helps.
I am away form home now and facing some frustrating issues with my new S3.
1. I cant connect to any WIFI network though the WIFI connection has very good signal strength. I always get the msg 'Network disabled. Poor Connection'. There is nothing wrong with the WIFI as i can connect it with my laptop and my buddy could connect to it using his IPhone.
2. My roaming time is completely wrong. It does not follow the time of the country I am in. It is showing the same time as my home country network. Shouldnt it automatically detect the network and shows the correct time like Iphone?

1. Restart the router & try just using 2.4Ghz in settings > wifi > advanced
2. Ensure: menu > settings > date & time > check [auto date & time] and [auto time zone]

Beginnin to regret my decision to get a S3. So complicating!
If you happen to have a case on, remove it and try again.

Hi, this is my first post, as I created my account specially with the purpose to answer you.
After being faced with the problem all day and reading all possible materials on the topic in google and here, my dad walked in and asked me why he is not able to connect to our home wireless connection.
This was when I retrieved my hope that the problem is not in the phone. And it was not! My iPhone, my laptop were able to obtain a internet connection in contrast to my other laptop and my S3! I restarted the rooter and everything was ok! Everbody got their internet dose !
So, most probably it isn't you!
Also have wifi problem, except it tells me it's an authentication error. I cannot connect to the WiFi unless I stand right next to it. Can't connect to WiFi anywhere (if you think it's the router in my house), even though the device detects the router. Sent it back to Samsung.

Hey, I experienced the same problem. But in my case, I am able to connect to the AP, if I am using a static IP address in the SGS3 instead of DHCP. Same router, no settings changed there. Just configured a static IP.

Same problem
Tried everything still not working, took it back to samsung they said it's working fine any other device is connecting without a problem but the S3 wont (i have 15 S3 with this problem)

I'm also frequently getting the "Network disabled. Poor Connection" message when at home. I have 2 wifi routers:
- Buffalo WHR G54S
- Draytek 2920n
If I turn wifi off/on on the S3 it sometimes resolves the issue, but not always. Sometimes after turning off/on it shows a status of "Connected"but there is no internet connectivity. If I then switch to the other router I can sometimes (but not always) connect successfully.
I'm running Checkrom v5.5, and have tried both the Perseus and Siyah kernels - both have this problem.
After my tablet has been asleep for a while I'm having major problems with Wi-Fi. It appears that I am connected but no data is being transmitted.
Sometimes, if another wifi network is available I can switch to this new network and back to my preferred and then the Wi-Fi works OK again (for a while.)
Other times when there is no other network available or I am unable to connect to the other network I turn of Wi-Fi or switch to Airplane mode momentarily and then try to re-enable my Wi-Fi - then my Wi-Fi on/off button refuses to switch back to On and keeps switching itself back to Off.
The only solution at this point is to reboot the tablet.
I have tried "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep - Always" and "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep - Never"
I have tried "Disable powersave" in advance Wi-Fi options.
This is extremely frustrating as Archos upgraded me from a 101G9 because I had four devices each with different faults and now this!
Otherwise I'm happy with the tablet overall, it's far more responsive than the 101G9 and the coverboard is useful.
Does anyone have any idea why this could happen? Anyone else with similar problems? Anyone know a solution?
Try going into settings and selecting wifi never sleep. Worked on my 80g9.
