Hi!
Today I received my brand new Galaxy S III and very happy with it
I'm just facing a little problem:
I have a laptop connected to the Internet through ethernet and my HTC Desire connects through my laptop wifi card to get internet access.
(for example, see here : http://www.technospot.net/blogs/how-to-enable-windows-7-virtual-wifi/)
The problem is that with the Galaxy S III it's not working...
I can connect it to my laptop wifi but it doesn't get any Internet connection...
Has anyone faced this problem too?
The strange thing is that I connect my Galaxy S III to "real" Wifi access point...
Any help is great
Thanks!
see you!
it's kown issue,you can serch ""wifi" in this forum,but it's not solved.

Actually, I "fixed" the issue by updating my wifi drivers. I don't know what changer becauseI thought it was an issue related to the phone since the Desire could connect.
Now both phones can connect so that's great
Bye!
Can you please give more information about how to update wifi drivers?

does anyone got a solution for reverse tethering ?
i had a htc wildfire S and it has an option "Relais internet" it appears auto when usb cable connected. it connects my phone to computers internet.
Iam really so disappointed to don't see this feature on SGS2
and PLZZZZZZZZZ for people who ask why don't use wifi.
well I have a 3G connexion in my computer ( no rooter just a usb 3G network adapter). and my computer wireless card intel 4965AGN IT DOESNT SUPPORT hosted network which means no way to create a wifi hotspot (or use connectify or virtual rooter because its the same thing as creating a hosted network)
ad-hoc network can't be detected also with my sgs2 with official firmware JB 4.1.2 (XWLSD)
could anyone help please.
Thank you

Well there was a "reverse tether" app...
I had it but haven't tried it anytime coz I don't have internet on my PC anymore...so don't know for sure if it works..
It might just work for you...
I know this is very frustrating..has happened to me too when I had just purchased the phone...hadn't got any solution at that time so ended up purchasing a WiFi router..
Press thanx if I helped...

Try this thread (don't know if this works on SGS2 or not as I've never tried/needed it, but it's a good starting point for you to investigate further).

Could be a million things going wrong...password, diff key algorithm, MAC address filtering (if he has it enabled on the router).
You need to do more troubleshooting before asking the question...give the forum a starting point.
Check to see if your phone supports the type of the router.
For example, if your router is N and you phone only supports g/b, it won't work.
Check if the router supports as many devices are connected
is it normal that my ip address in wifi settings is unavailable ??

I guess it is since you haven't connected to a network that would have assigned you an IP address.

Ummm...NO. N is backwards compatible, both on 2.4GHz and 5GHz.

It would help to have more information about the way the router is set up, etc. Can other phones connect to it? Are you getting any error messages?
I bought a used WRT54GS a few weeks ago and couldn't get my phone connected over WiFi until I updated the firmware. You may want to look into that. It said it was connecting and then said disconnected. It never said it was connected though.
Once I got the new firmware installed then I was able to connect, encrypt the connection, etc.

~ we already updated the firmware but still got the problem .. we've done all troubleshooting we can do .. i even change my rom and kernel but nothing happens .. other device can connect to his router, mine was the only one that can't connect ...
btw i can connect to other wifi .. i guess the problem is in the router ?
Well, at least you know it's not your phone ...

Sorry to hear that.
If other devices can connect to it and yours can't, even with different ROMs and kernels, then it looks like this particular router just doesn't like your phone/setup for some reason. Especially since you can connect to other WiFi units.
Very frustrating.
If the router is set up to allow enough connections and isn't filtering out your phone's ==> WiFi <== MAC address then I don't know what else can be wrong.
Hope you can find a workaround, but I can't think of anything else at the moment.
Those who are expereincing Wi-Fi problems on the tablet s
Go to play store and download the app ''phone speed accelerator'' and run it.
This will solve the problem of Wi-Fi not connecting from sleep and weak signall..

i beleive this is a problem with the router and the tablet
I had this same problem on ym fren's HTC wildfire S
Try setting up the network manually
my solution is about the wifi range and disconnecting problem and not connecting after waking up from sleep ect

at play store the is Android Speed Booster free
there are two versions in the Play store.
1. Android Speed Booster (free)
2. Android SpeedUp Booster (free)
Which one exactly?
I've tried both and not notice any difference. didnt enhance my wifi range or reception either. Also, my antivirus detected it as security threat. Any idea?
My WiFi always dc whenever I let me screen off for a few minutes ....even if I chose WiFi always option in advance settings

Hi!
try Advanced Wi-Fi lock. There is a free version
and also a paid version
This app has stopped my Xperia Tablet from powering off and I have no issues now!

Ditto. Its the only app that works at the moment. It keeps your wifi awake even when the screen is off. I've been using it for a couple of months now on my Sony Tablet S.
However, no app yet is able to remedy the weak signal and its difficulty in retaining wifi signal. A lot of bogus and placebo aps available in the playstore. Do share if you guys found any that may help our sony tablets.
I only have wifi issues with this new netgear wifi router we got at the office... wifi lock works great but doesn't force a connection and the app in the op works sometimes but not always.... I'm VERY disappointed in this tablet because of the wifi issues and got it when it was first released. I called sony support three or four times but those guys are truly a joke and are in denial that this tablet has wifi issues.
Interesting. I had replied to someone in another thread that I started seeing a similar issue on my Tablet S after update 5, but I missed these threads with lots of users seeing this. Mine never shuts down during use, but will randomly shutdown while asleep. I've not seen any correspondence between times it does it (sometimes midnight, sometimes 8am) or amount of time asleep or battery charge level. I'll try this app and see if it helps.

Hi guys,
Maybe some of you faced the same problem and can advise me something. I have a Linksys router and my Tablet S and my mothers X10i can connect to it only once, then it will be Connecting... Disconnected. And just shows available networks. Yeah, I know it might be a router problem, but how come my Xperia S, ThinkPad Tablet or any other PC or old Nokia and iPhone phones never had these issues? The workaround is to restart the router, it helps only once, after I will disconnect it will never connect again until next routers' restart.
Sony will never admit this issue. Ok, so what can I do? Different Wi-Fi drivers?
Hey everyone
WiFi is not working on my ace-i
it shows connected and i can even browse internet for the first few seconds but then i cant connect
and when i open play store it says connection has timed out
please help me i am using my homes WiFi and my other android phones and laptops can connect and browse except this one
P.S. i am using SGS3 v 2.0 ROM before that i was using Simplicity V4 and then also this problem was occurring what i mean to say is that this is not due to the ROM.

Maybe it's because of the kernel, try to change it.
You should also check if your network has no mac identification
Hit thanks !

I had the same issue yesterday, after several tests on other devices I was convinced it was a com error between phone and AP. Restart AP solved the issue.
I installed remix os on my laptop lenovo g50-80
and the wifi is not working ..
when i turn on the wifi from toggele button it keep searching .
and can't find any network or can't connect to a open network .
and after that when i closed the setting it automatically turn the wifi off.
it is a bug or driver proble i don't know but it is annoying and frustuating.
please help.
I have a different problem but related to wifi i am using tp link wifi usb to connect my pc to wifi router but on remix i am unable to get wifi signals i think issue lies in missing driver so is there anyway to add drivers

According to Google, your Lenovo should have a Intel DualBand Wireless AC 3160. Intel wireless cards should be supported out of the box. Can you tell if you have this wifi card?
