Hello everyone,
I am running android 2.3.6 on my pocket galaxy.
Whenever i keep my wifi on for sometime and keep my mobile aside ,i doesn't connect to internet as soon as I again pick it up. Though it shows that it is connected but i have to switch wifi of my mobile off and them turn it on again. There is probably no issue with my internet connection or router because my tablet and laptop doesn't show similar problem that use the very same wifi signals for accessing internet.
Secondly,lets say i went out of home along with my mobile into an area where i don't get the wifi signals of my router and then came back,while wifi was on, mobile would not connect itself even after ten to fifteen minutes. I don't know whether there is any particular time interval for every mobile to scan for wifi but i guess it must be not more than two to three mins once you don't have signals.
Please tell me ,is it a hardware issue or software issue and how to fix it. Would be grateful .
Regards

I have recently lost my signal from my WiFi at home but my phone still picks up the WiFi signals from the neighbors. I exchanged my first 3d for a new one but I still have the same problem. My ipod still picks up and uses the WiFi signal and was wondering if anybody knew why this maybe happening.
Thanks,

Try resetting your router. Or try updating the firmware of the router. Also try forgetting the network in wifi settings and then try logging back in. Or do a factory wipe.
Locked & Loaded
just turn wifi on and off, no biggie, works pretty well.
Check out WiFi Fixer in the app market. Solved all of my problems.
Whoa, before you do all that other stuff.
So your ipod works with your router? And your phone connects to your neighbor's router? If so then most likely your router isn't a problem, nor is your phone.
Android's wifi stack does a really good job of automagically connecting to the best available wifi spot. Do you see your wifi router in the Wifi settings? If so, long press and connect to it. If you have authentication set, then it will prompt you for a password.
Let's start with that then go with more, if needed, and will probably need more information that you provide.
My phone doesn't even see my WiFi connection, it can see all the other connections only... I've traded my phone in not only for this problem but other problems and this problem still looms. I'm thinking its in my settings that were transferred from my other phone? I don't know, help please...

Man its might be your router. Have ya even tried just resetting the router back to factory defaults??? Its a tiny pin size hole on the back of your router "or at least it.should be" Henceforth, find a needle or safety pin and press the that button for like 10 or 15 seconds and wailt 2 to 4 min. After that go to your wifi settings on your phone and click on your network name and chose forget. Now look for your new network name and which should be an open and unsecured network. It should have the manufacturing abbreviation in the network name so if its say a belkin it might be -belkin123 unsecured- also it should be open because when you reset the router it erases all of the security. Also routers firmware should always be upgrade. Not saying this will solve your issue but it might and its a really quick way to rule out if its your router.

Some of the "perm-temp" root scripts caused this, if you used some of the older ones, you may be experiencing this.
The solution to it was to "forget" all your wifi connections on the phone, power it off/battery pull, then reconnect.
Of course, if this doesn't fit your scenario, disregard.
Hi guys, in this days i have noticed a problem with my gsII.
Sometimes I have the gsII connected to my router but internet connection doesn't work.
I'll try to explain better what i mean... I start wifi on my gsII and use internet connection without problem. Then I set the phone in standby mode leaving wifi on. When after a while i want to use internet connection, it doesn't work. The telephone is still connected to my router but i can't use internet on the phone.
The only way to make internet connection work is to disable wifi e then reactivate it.
This is really frustrating....
I've got the telephone from three months but only now I'm noticing this problem because first I used to disable the wifi and activate it only when i need it.
Am I the only to have this problem? Is there a solution?
Thanks to everyone in advance... any help would be appreciated
A video is more than thousands of words, so this is an "example video" of the bug:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4um-AqLk1jw
Test it with a different router, i.e. Cisco E4200.
It would a good idea but i have to buy a new router or go to some friend's house for 2-3 hours. I'll keep this idea in my mind thanks
I have this problem, mines a bt home hub v3. Don't think its the router I blame the phone. I have to restart phone to make it connect with ability to use internet

I do not know what " standby mode" is? I have the same phone and have no problems with wifi. The phone goes to sleep when I do not use it and awakes when I use it.
It seems that your phones wifi is sleeping and not waking up. I always turn it off when not using it anyway. Not the full answer but it works for me.

I don't use wifi very often, but I do notice this problem with 3G data. Modem problem? I'm using kh3.

I believe I know and had the problem you describe.
For me the Wifi would work perfectly at first and then after the phone had been left for a while I would try to use it and get 'no connection' type errors. Sometimes it would even stop working even if I just waited too long with the phone still on in my hand.
I found that if I either disabled router wifi security or set it to WEP the problem disappeared. The issue occurred on 2.3.3. My router is a DLink one fyi. I have yet to test 2.3.4 which came out yesterday in Sweden. Ill let u know.
What version android are u? Does relaxing ur wifi security fix it??

Ehm...For standby mode I mean that I lock the phone, I only shut down the display....understand what I mean?
If you turn wifi off when you don't use it, you'll never see this bug. Try to leave wifi on for some hours if you want to understand if also your gsII has this bug.

I tried changing the channel also. I have heard others getting this to work. Didn't work for me. You can use Wifi Analyser app on phone to find a clear channel and see how u go changing your router perhaps?
I tried re flashing also using factory restore. No fix for me.
Also noticed that u can sometimes get phone to work by toggling Network Data on/off. Not really fun either.
The wifi channels and security settings I am talking about are settings in the router not the phone. What wifi security are you using in your router?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I am not a believer the router is at fault in any case. I would entertain an incompatibility but nothing more.
Original router and security settings work fine for...wait for it...an iphone 3gs and a Motorola Defy (yes the phone which seems to have issues with doing everything else!)
Either way an incompatibility is not acceptable either if that's what it is

I know this, and in fact i have to switch off and on wifi connection when this happens.
Now i'm trying to use channel 5 with the router ( but yesterday I've tested channel 6 and 13 without any result)
I hate this bug because beacause it happens only when he wants! I'm quite sure that assistance wouldn't solve the problem. A friend of mine has changed three gsII and said that every gsII that he has changed had this bug!
Ps: Another question.... How often do you have this bug?
Once a week? Once a day? Three times a day?

i have the same problem reported in the 1st post.
i have been turning wifi off and then on again for a quick fix until now but i think the solution might be to drop the security on the router from WPA to WEP. Haven't tried it yet tho, because it doesn't bother me that much.
I had an ipad previously (before i had the SGS2) and it had exactly the same behaviour. I looked up the problem then and found a FAQ from the ISP that mentioned a compatibility problem between ipad and that router, so their suggestion was to set the router to WEP only.

Easily more than 3 times a day but then I use the phone a lot.
Problem had never occurred when I used only 3G. That was my workaround when I got fed up with it before I dropped the wifi security.

For me it happens always after the phone comes back from stand by with wifi on.
steps to reproduce:
1-turn wifi on, and check it's connected and working
2-press power button to turn off screen
3-turn phone back on, try to access a new web page, it doesn't work
I noticed that while it's in stand by i will still receive email notifications so it probably only looses the connection when i turn it on again.
Also, if there was some program working (say, a download) when i went into standby it will probably still be transferring when it comes out of stand by, it's just the new connections that fail.
Hi everyone,
I am extremely frustrated right now about my situation. So recently I moved to china (temporarily) and I must use VPN
to have my freedom on the net for example accessing facebook. Here is my problem: whenever I connect to my vpn service (via L2TP) when I'm using mobile network, it always crashes and reboots my phone within maybe a minute or two. Then I tried to connect to vpn at home through wifi which is fine when I do it on my computer, I noticed that my phone gets periodical stales of non-responsiveness very often, maybe once every thirty seconds or so and
Gets such for almost about a minute. I'm trying to figure out if this is a problem with the firmware or is it a problem with china trying to screw me over? I am currently on 2.3.5 KI3. If anyone has any clues can you please tell me of help me figure out what its going on?.thanks everyone!

Every so often i get disconnected from my wi-fi on my galaxy s3, despite the router still being on and this is some problem I've gotten at alot of other networks too. The solution is often to just turn off and on again the wifi, and it will connect again, but wondering if there is any way to stop this issue, since it is reaaallyy annoying !
Thanks anyways

I had it on only when connected, but the problem was that it would not connect again and the only solution was to turn off the wifi and turn it back again.
I just recently firmware updated the phone, and will answer if it still keeps on going on

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?
