I was wilding around in my car talking on the phone with no data what so ever since I was on the phone for so long and I used my GPS to travel and it was glorious. It didn't miss a beat alongside having no data signals it wonderfully remarked itself to me as a true powerful phone. It definitely did it's duty as an investment, although it doesn't lock on the first instance of opening up the program I have to switch off and on the switch on the pull down for a sec and it instantaneously find a signal and locks into the satellite network and blows precision out of me. I was using sygic which works well as a side by side to a phone call with Bluetooth connected on a phone only connection and media connection off, try it you'll like it. Peace.

I have my macbook and PS3 upstairs and they both get full bars. My SIII barely gets 1 bar and disconnects sometimes. I have tried going into service mode (*#0011#) and doing that trick but that does nothing for my phone.
Any help??? Really disappointed about this. My Nokia N8 which was a horrible phone was getting full bars as well.
I am sort of in the same boat. My WiFi works great but my d3o case makes my signal weaker. If I am close to a router it's not an issue. Up stairs most of the time it's still functional.if need be I either take of case or use data

Anyone else experiencing really poor wifi signal? I'm literally a couple feet away from the access point and my signal strength looks to be under 50%

My wife and I do not have that problem at all.

This happened with my note 1. Try pressing down on the antenna pad. If your signal gets better, you have a loose connection. Unfortunately you need to open the phone to fix it. The little springs that make contact are staying compressed and not bouncing up to make contact.
The Note 2 may use a similar design.
The note 1 has the wifi antenna as a sticker next to the sum card slot
I had same symptoms. More than a foot away, lose half signal. Leave the room, 1 bar. Other end of the house, nothing.
Even a range extender didn't help.
Bent the spring back up making good contact, full bars everywhere.

I am facing a weak wifi problem since I bought it, it was refurbished and it had android 2.3 and htc sense 3.0. i updated it with 4.2.2 r11 .
The problem is that when i sit with the router then it only get full signal, if i move even 2,3 steps signal drops and after 5 meters there is no signals.. laptop and other mobile works fine with the same router so no problem with the router.. so is it the battery cover problem or IC is weak??
i have tried one thing and it even works but it is not a proper solution.. what I did is I connected a small wire with the terminal of wifi which is under batter cover and it is so thin that it easily came out of battery cover.. it increased wifi signal power.. so any one knows what could be the problem be? THANKS IN ADVANCE..
Could be a multitude of things.
Loose battery cover

So in one room in second floor there is 1 bar wifi. My i9195 disconnects after sometimes and have to wait until it connects while others have no problems. With other phones (s2, lg 70.....) it don't disconnect and everything perfect. Even they can brows in third floor and for me no chance to connect wifi and browse etc. Is this problem with phone or this phone has bad anttena? If someone has same problem with i9190 please respond is everything Ok.

I recently got S4 Mini i9195, and noticed same problem, wifi was absolutely poor. I started searching on the internet, found where the antenna is, and decided to take my device apart. And you wouldn´t believe what I found.... all other antenna contacts on motherboard are bent, they are in a ˂ shape - so they can flex and touch antennas integrated in middle frame chassis. Wifi antenna contact was absolutely straight, parallel with the MB, so there was no way it can touch antenna on the chassis. I used needle and carefully bent the contact in correct shape, assembled phone and voila - wifi signal is full.
It seems it was a production error, I´m surprised nobody noticed it before.
