Did you slide the WIFI button to the on position?
I have been unable to use wifi since the new radio
Yeah, I'm a dumb ass! I got the phone yesterday as an Asurion replacement for my XV6700 and installed this ROM first thing. Saw the switch after I wrote the post.
Well it's nice to know I'm not the only one with the wifi issue. It's really strange. After a hard reset or flashing my ROM, I have to have the wifi find my network when Windows starts before I install anything. If I start installing stuff and come back to the wifi later, it won't work. Just a annoying mental glitch I gotta tell myself when I hard reset that the wifi needs to be setup first. At least I know it isn't my phone acting flaky and just some weird glitch.

I got mine working I think it was because I dropped it, I have to press in and over to make it stay on. ( Guess I will need a new one)
Having intermittent problems with my mobile internet and was wondering if it was the phone, other users or just plain crap signal.
Have anything between 2 to 5 bars here, hsdpa symbol on constantly but for some reason it occasionally gets stuck on the upload arrow and then the data connection freezes and wont come back on til I toggle mobile network or airplane mode.
Phone is running modaco 2.2c and latest radio on T-Mobile UK.
Hi. Been lurking around since I got my Hero, and thought it was about time I signed up to this excellent forum.
I was having exactly the same problem. Didn't know whether it was a problem with the Hero or the network/signal. I noticed that the APN settings on my Hero were different to the t-mobile site. I read around a bit and tried a few combinations of settings and eventually got it sussed.
Go to t-mobile.co.uk
Hover over "Help & Support" at the top and click "Phone Support". Click "Make the most of your mobile" and choose the G2.
Click on "Set up the phone for internet surfing" and enter the details shown there exactly in a new APN on your Hero.
The only change to those details is the password should be "pass".
This is the only APN setting i have tried that doesn't give me the original problem. Now I can browse without the 3g signal getting "stuck"
I'm using an unlocked Hero - completely stock btw.
Hope this helps. Let me know how you get on.
I've been having this very problem. That's good information, I'll give it a try.
Seems to work well. Here's the link.
thanks for pointing me there.
k i altered my settings, will test it thru day see if it improves.
Ooh, seems to be working so far. Seems I owe you a beer. Lol.
After a day or two using this 'fix' I find it the drop still happens sometimes but not as often.

Did you change the password to "pass" ? That is the most important bit.
Changed the password lets see what happens.

No. That's not the password given on the T-Mobile site.

are you stock or rooted?
stock. only thing I did after the update was hold down the power button and did a forced restart.
Yeah, I'm also using the latest update, and I haven't had any problems. I'm using the connection to write this post now.
I'd try uninstalling and reinstalling the app, rebooting the phone in between. That's really all I can think of, assuming it was working before.
You can probably find the older version of the app somewhere - if you're still having problems, you could try that as a fallback.

I updated to OTA jb 4.1.1 3-4 days ago
till yesterday, wifi was working normal but from today morning I see some weird problem.
When i try to connect my phone to my home's wifi, it gets connected. After that I open any internet based app, for the first time it works. then the internet stops.
I mean the wifi symbol is still there on the status bar but. it doesn't work.
I can't open any web pages, i have to turn wifi on-off to make it works, after loading one page it stops again.
But internet from the pc is working.
I tried restarting, keeping battery out for sometime, nothing happens.
What should i do?
Facing this problem first time in 5 months after updating to Jelly bean/

I have tried both the things already.
friendly bump
I have same problem as you have, like it took me sometime to finally figure it out. Try resetting your router. You see this small hole at the back of the router, hold & press it for about 20-30 seconds. Your router will now be restored to its factory settings, then connect your S3 & voila! your device is good to go.
I had the same problem at home once, I tried everything from wiping caches to reinstalling my rom. Turned out it was my router so yeah the guys above are probably correct.

Did you ever try pressing the router hole for about 20-3- seconds? If it still didn't work, try manually input the your static IP. That worked too with me,
I don't have idea about static ip
And I've seen, while my screen is on. . WiFi remains connected and if I lock screen even for a second. .WiFi goes off

Hi, Had same issue with WiFi, was doing my head in.
Problem for me was bad update from the OTA update,
go into recovery and factory reset wipe data, and cache, if still no luck then
your best solution which worked for me was download the full Samsung Official Firmware Stock from samfirmware (Google it)
and use odin to redo the phone.
Hope you get sorted. :good:
Go somewhere else with available WiFi, try connecting, if you succeed with no following issues, it's your WiFi router, if you can't connect to any other available WiFi, it's your phone, reflash ROM and test.
Have you tried turning power save mode off. In the dialer dial *#0011# then press menu button then WiFi then where it says on, turn it off. Be aware that it goes back on after every reset of your phone.

And as for it going off when your screen is off go to WiFi settings - advanced - and change the option about WiFi when screen off to always on.

I have the exact issue. I tried everything here:
* Doing static ip on my phone
* *#0011# turning wifi power save mod to off
Still the issue. I didnt reset the router as my wife's s3 does not have and also this is issue is happening to other routers as well. Please help...
same issue
i have the same issue. I just bought a new S3 four days ago. Wifi of that stopped working exactly after 1 day of the purchase. Same symptoms , it worked at my home for a day and stopped on 2nd day. After stop and restart of the wifi, it again started but then after one page being opened, it again stopped. Tried "forgetting" the wifi uid , it didn't work. Stopped the wifi power saving mode, no gain. The version is stock JB 4.1.1 (came preinstalled) . On the other router, it did work but I am sure(though haven't confirmed) that it woudl stop after a day too.
After this issue, I changed my handset from the seller(original Samsung retail shop) and now, after 2 days, it again stopped today working, on almost the same time again. The same router is used by two ipods, two laptops and one HTC One X and it's working fine. I am not sure what to say to the seller now as he simply won't agree to me but the issue is clearly there. Any help please!
I too am having this problem after updating to 4.1.2. It helps to turn off the wifi then turn it back on, and but I don't want to keep having to do this.

Sounds like an ip related issue.. Your phone remains connected to the local network but can't find it way to the Internet (dns), right? . Try setting a static ip or soft reset the router every time it happens (turn it off and then back on). Try even locating the router somewhere it doesn't get too hot. These work for me

Hi,
But this issue never came up in the ICS and with the other devices , it's working fine. Also, can you guide how to set the static IP for the GS3?
Thanks and regards
---------- Post added at 04:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 AM ----------
Okay, did a little Google search and found how to put static IP. Gave it now but still, no joy. Ironically, yesterday , after doing a lot of search I found that I should enable "dynamic routing" on the router. I did that and internet started. Worked for the night and today morning , it stopped and now not working at all.
Any help please!
Even I have this problem on my S3 LTE version on Jelly Bean 4.1.1. Trying hard reset and changing settings on router or fixed ip on phone won't be of any help. I tried all these and the problem comes back within no time. So don't waste time. Send the unit for repair or replacement. Think of it this way, if there is a problem with your router or other routers, your other devices would also have a similar problem so suggest not to tinker with router settings. Problem is with the phone. Whether there is a problem with hardware and/or software, it's Samsung's headache to deal with. Planning to send the phone for repair shortly. Fed up with Samsung. Previously had a problem with bluetooth and screen on S2 and now Wifi. Irritating.

The 4.3 update of my HTC One got 2.8MB downloaded and then stopped. I let it sit for a couple hours and it didn't change at all. I tried several things to "kick" it into motion, but nothing worked (turning on/off data, etc.).
In a desparate attempt to get it to continue, I restarted my phone (bad choice, I see). Now, when I touch "Check for updates" on the "AT&T software update" screen, it doesn't do anything. No dialogs -- nothing.
Is there a way I can clear out the partial download and reset the state of that process and trigger it to start again?
Thanks for any help!

Mine did the same thing. What I found is that it needs Wifi to complete the download. If you restart the phone and let it see Wifi, it should resume the download without any interaction from the user.
Try this
1. I disabled Power Saver Mode and all the options obviously
2. I turned off the option in the Settings --> Power --> Turned off the sleep mode where the data connection gets cut off during long periods of inactivity after the screen is off
3. Went to Settings --> Wifi --> Advanced and then turned on the option for best WiFi performance
4. Set the screen time out to 10 minutes, try to keep the screen from timing out just in case and dont use your phone while it is downloading
5. Powercycled my Router and Modem
6. Restarted the Phone and tried to update then!
GOODLUCK!

This was exactly the issue! I actually didn't need to restart the phone though. I just enabled WiFi and the download resumed.

A different twist for me...
I'm experiencing a similar issue, but with a twist...
After what looked like a successful DL of the OTA 4.3 OS Update on my AT&T HTC One, the actual update never kicked off.
Now when I touch "Check for updates" on the "AT&T software update" screen, it doesn't do anything. You can see the button move, but you get no response, No dialog, Nothing....
Is there a way I can kick off the DL'ed update file or clear out the [possibly corupted?] download and reset the state of that process and trigger it to start again?
The DL happened Thurs Oct 10th 9AM.. I had a similar type hiccup the last Maintenance Update that AT&T / HTC sent out, and waiting 24 hrs cured that... But, as of now, more than 24 hrs later, No Joy!!
Anyone out there have a fix??
Please Advise.

Try disabling fastboot and restarting your phone. Mine kinda did that on the maintenance update. Hope it works for you..

Sadly, that did not work for me...
I spoke with the AT&T Support folks and they have indicated that the only way to resolve this issue is to do a Factory Reset.... Ugghh!!
I'm backing up my phone now and seriously thinking of doing just that.. Can anyone talk me off that ledge??
Much Joy!!

So, being the patient kind of guy I am, I fought back the urge to do a Master Reset, as the good folks @ AT&T told me was the only way to remedy my issue, and instead slept on it....
Lo and behold, 48hrs after the initial failed DL / No Upgrade, I got the "Update available for my Device" pop-up... The DL was a bit faster, at the end the Upgrade kicked off as expected, and all is well...
Patience is one of the most important tools you can keep in your bag-o'-tricks... Good luck to all out there...
