Hi,
Yesterday I started having a strange problem with my Desire.
I was browsing the internet at home using wifi and all if a sudden it switched off the wifi.
I turned it back on again and it worked fine again for around 10 minutes when it did it again. I switched wifi back on again, this time around 3 minutes later it switched itself off again.
I have never had this problem before and haven't installed any new programs on the day it started. In wifi settings the sleep mode is set to never.
I rebooted and tried again, but out still happens. I have rebooted my wireless router, again no joy.
In desperation I factory reset, but it still won't keep wifi on for more than a few minutes.
I have a T-mobile uk desire which is stock and un rooted with stock radio too.
I sim unlocked it in march and have a vodafone sim in it
My wireless router its a sky one and is running on channel 13 as no one else locally uses that channel.
Has anyone got any ideas?
Cheers in advance

Hi all
Seem to have a wifi or network problem.
I'm running ARHD 20.1 and have noticed lately that my wifi connection just seems to stop randomly when connected to the internet.
When I say stop I mean it still shows full signal on the wifi but just lose all network connectivity. web pages time out, play store times out, youtube times out and local connections time out. But it still shows my wifi is connected to my router and it still shows full signal.
Once it stops the only way I can reconnect is to turn wifi off and on again.
I normally have wifi turned on all the time.
Funny thing is it only seems to happen when i've been browsing for a few minutes, I can always access the internet the 1st time I try so its not disconnecting when i'm not using it
This has just started happening over the last few days and prior to this everything was fine.
I've tried reloading the Rom and Boot.img but its still doing it.
Any idea's?
Stu
Try to flash an other kernel like xm
If don't work, try to change the rom and see if that rom have this bug.
My wifi was working very well. One day suddenly it went off. Initially I thought it was a connection problem, but eventually I discovered that the wifi toggle switch refused to start. It was stuck.
In a bid to correct it I even did a factory reset. But wifi issue remained.
Did everything mentioned in various YouTube videos. But in vain.
Then I installed Cynogenmod but same wifi issue. So went back to 4.3 stock android.
Not satisfied, I flashed kitkat 4.4 . Most of time wifi connection remains. But when I turn it off and then again on. It does not connect.
The only way I can resolve d issue is by switching off the phone, removing the battery 4 a minute and restart. Wifi works until I keep it on. Once I turn it off and turn on back again, it does not connect.
(My router and Internet connection are fine)
Removing battery every time 2 start wifi is nuisance.
Pl advice.

In the last 6 months or so I have been experiencing frequent wifi issues, regardless of the custom ROM I'm using. Usually some time after a new installation I am unable to connect to the networks I normally use (my home network and the one at work which uses a proxy server). No matter what I do (clear cache, factory reset, change ROM...) the problem persists. In settings a number of random messages are given: secured, disabled, authentication problem, etc. Every now and then I can get a connection (never at work though) but it doesn't last long. Any help for troubleshooting this would be appreciated. I hope it isn't hardware failure since I'm still enjoyng this tablet after all these years!
Mine started having wifi issues off and on a couple of weeks ago. The wifi started to not turn back on after waking it up, at first just in manually turning it off and then back on seemed to work. Last Friday it just wouldn't stay on at all. I would go to the wifi in settings, it sometimes would get stuck saying turning on. I finally did a factory reset on it, it at first seemed to fix the problem, even spent a couple of hours trying to get everything set back up. Then the problem returned, it just keeps turning the wifi off, if i can even get it to turn on at all. I was going to try and use my phone as a hotspot through Bluetooth (not sure if i can or jot, never tried before), but even the Bluetooth won't stay on. So Sunday, after spending way to many hours fighting with it, i went out and got a new tablet.

Have you tried using the Samsung Kies app to flash the latest stock rom, Dont use Odin or other non Samsung approved flashing software.
I have had my T800 for over 4 years and had no real problem with the wifi connection, But i have heard that there can be compatibility problems with some wifi routers, Also try changing the channel number on your router, Auto channel was giving me poor connection on my PC, I ran the inSSIDer wifi app and it said to manually change my wifi channel to channel 1 the clearest channel as other wifi and bluetooth and wifi dongle even you smart gas/electric can cause interference., auto was picking channel 13 for some reason and it fixed my problem.

Thanks, but since it's the router at my workplace there's not much I can do on that side. Question is, are there any specific steps I can take to verify if it's software-related or if the wifi module is just gone?
Wifi and Bluetooth both use the 2.4ghz frequency, So they can interferer with each other and can cause constant disconnect`s, I have seen this many time, Use 5.0ghz on your T800 if you can, Or disable Bluetooth.
Does your wifi work OK on other brands of router?, Or is it just the one you are using at work.

It's kind of tricky to answer: let's say the times this issue appeared it always stareted at work, but then also at home I couldn't keep a stable connection. Once the problem starts, I get no connection at work at all and very difficult connection at home (meaning it does connect intermittently).
UPDATE. After other attempts and a complete restore of stock firmware, I have both wifi and bluetooth not working, constantly "turning on...." but never activating.
