WiFi Connection issue

My phone will not connect to my DLink router, it keeps saying Obtaining IP address and after about 1min a pop up comes up and says weak signal can't connect. but i have 3 bars on the signal meter, i'm sitting right in front of the router and it won't connect. and i have my phone set to auto connection in wifi settings.. any ideas??
this happens on LF2 and LF9 modem if that matters..

It has to be an encryption issue. Are you using wpa v2 ?

I had the same problem, I did two things dont know which worked but its been working over a month for 2 phones
1. was give your phone a dedicated IP
2. was I changed the lease time to 30days
Occasionally I have to turn off and on the internet to search for my router and it works in 10secs but thats a lot better than no IP
Hope it works for you also.

Thanks for the input guys, i will give both your ideas a try and see if they work.. it's strange because i never had this issue with my OG Evo.. it would pick my router up with ease,

I would change to wpa v2 just cuz it is more secure than wep and its more accepted with newer devices and has faster link speeds. Google your router and wpa v2 if you need further guidance.

Hey guy's. Look at this screen shot. I still can't connect
My router is da dlink

I feel your pain mate,
I've had the same problem. I discovered that my phone was leasing the same IP from my router over and over around every 2 minutes due to DHCP. Then, after a while the connection would be ****ed up, grey wifi bars, sometimes still blue. Everything pointed to having a working connection. But doing anything involving an internet connection on the phone resulted in NOT being connected at all. It drove me crazy aswell and after a couple of hours of Google Fu I resolved the issue by simply assigning a static IP for my phone and using Google's Public DNS servers.
Give it a try, maybe it'll work for you aswell.

Long press on your network and tap on 'modify network' - tap 'advanced setting' and scroll down a bit, there are a few more options.
To assign a static IP you should have basic knowledge on how to configure your wifi router and such. Can't really help you there, either you know what you're doing or you don't. Things differ from router to router.

Ok! Thank you very much! I do it!
EDIT: Bulls**t!!!! don't works...

Well, that's unfortunate. I'm still baffled on why it's acting up at all. My phone was fine for almost a month before it started acting up, and I didn't change anything on my phone. Same ROM... and all of the sudden, WiFi started acting all weird.
Also I just discovered that changing 'Keep WiFi on during sleep' to never, does absolutely nothing. WiFi still stays on during sleep.

I don't know... it's the same case... I restored all the phone, lock de bootloades, etc And I updated by OTA, one by one, to 4.1, when the problem begin again... grrrr
Any idea pls??
After a lot of test.... the problem is only in jelly bean 4.1.1 y check a lot of roms 4.0.4 and works right, but in jb...

A Few Questions, Errors Are A Happening!!! (Help!)

Okay so not even a couple days ago I noticed everytime I tried to bind facebook to an app I'll get a message that says "Sorry, something went wrong" on the facebook app where it usually takes me to the login page, which it doesn't do anymore. Instead I get that page.
Secondly GoSMS Pro doesn't wanna locate anymore when I go to Go Chat! and do Find option, it says "Connecting timed out, please check your network connection"
Thirdly as of today, my home networks wifi is now suddenly too weak and it refuses to connect to it at all anymore, goes to connect obtains ip and then disconnects and says its disabled cause the connection is too poor.
How can I fix these, mind GPS is turned on in my phone for GoSMS Pro. Really don't feel like doing a hard reset all cause of this!

reboot your router..

Resetting your route ought to fix signal strength issues, and I'd be willing to bet using a different facebook app might help with your binding (I recommend friendcaster)

Unable to login to whatsapp, wechat and line but still can use facebook search engine

I am using Note 2 N7105 and was previously using the clean rom and had no problems earlier.
I flashed **[4.3][CM10.2][06.10]Team Asylum CM10.2 - Slim, Fast and Black Roma™** and soon start to have below mentioned problems.. I was advised by the developer that it is not a rom specific problem..
I realise I couldnt send or receive msg from whatsapp, wechat, LINE and other social messaging apps using 3g/4g connection but I could still use google search engine, facebook, google map etc. Wechat shows "Server access failure (1,237)".
I uninstalled and tried to reinstall the social messaging apps using 3g/4g connection, Play store shows an error of 413. however I could reinstall using wifi.
There is no problem with the social messaging apps when I use wifi.
I have tried a full wipe, restoring back to my Clean rom, change to other roms, reinstalling them. but I couldnt resolve the problem.
I am now currently using [ROM][10/05/13][4.3]BeanStalk 4.3.1001..
Can someone help?

Can someone help? It is urgent as I couldn't receive any msg

ok, sorry i couldn't help, but it's definitely a software issue, so try a stock ROM and check if issue persists, I have nothing else

But it shouldn't be a ROM problem.. I tried many ROMs but it remains the same

am out of ideas

For me I can't upload greetings to facebook by splanner, for friends birthdays. Sad and annoying situation and this is happend after I rooted my galaxy and installed custom rom. So I think it's related with rom and rooting, how and why have no idea.

APN Setting?
Sounds like it's your APN settings. Had something similar with 4.3.
Most network providers have a webpage that will automatically send the correct APN settings by text. Try that. If not, call them and ask them to send them out. Think it's a proxy problem caused by incorrect settings.

Hi mate, I am afraid we don't have the same problem. Appreciate if u could start a new thread yourself as the advice provided will be messy, not sure for you or for me.. thanks...

WiFi not connecting, reports two slow?

So this has happened to me at home and work but it's not consistent. Some times when I try to connect I get a message on the WiFi connect that says "Network disabled because Internet connection is slow" (see picture). Any idea what criteria is used to determine this, and is there a way to over ride it?

I'm at work right now and I just got kicked out wifi due to too slow lol.. but at home I have not got it yet.. maybe too much people at work using the wifi network. .

I setup my home network to have separated name (SSID) for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz Network.
When I connect to the 2.4Ghz channel, no problem.
At the same distance, like 6 inches away from the router, when I connect to the 5Ghz channel, my 2 Galaxy Note 3 shows the same "network too slow" error and it will drop the connection.
This is one of the many reasons I returned my GSN 3
I also experienced another WiFi error.
At work, I can connect to the WiFi network with the WPA password provided, on my HTC One with no issue whatsoever.
When I tried to connect to the same network using the Note 3, it keeps telling me I have to "sign-in", when I click on the browser to "sign-in" (like those Free WiFi you can get at the hotel), there is no sign in page (because there is none) and brings me right to Google.com.
After that, the connection will last for 30 seconds or so and drop off.
The one I got initially and the replacement, both have the same issue, and I did inform T Mobile before I return them back.
4.3 problem? Samsung's problem? I don't know... All I know is I will wait until they resolve all these before I will reconsider getting this phone.

I spoke to them on same issue. Got new phone and they working on updating the WiFi drivers.
NOTE 3

Here is the fix for this it worked for me try this....
Go to wifi advanced settings lower left corner then uncheck auto network switch. Then check the box that pops up that says don't ask again. This should fix your wifi connecting issue...

So far yes. Not a 100% sure though because the problem was not consistent. Sometimes it would connect sometime give the message. So, I'll keep you posted if it comes back.

Not trying to say your post isn't serious enough but we all who are having this problem on a consistent basis need to make a thread about this and just not take anything for an answer, but to give people somewhere to complain about this & hopefully bring more attention to this because there is nothing that is fixing this issue. The only thing that will fix this is Samsung or a Dev on a custom ROM hopefully. If you uncheck the options in advanced settings, it just stops the pop up from coming up telling you the connection is to slow & dropping you, after unchecked it dont drop you but while still showing you a full connection it will not do anything data wise, connect to the internet, switch to a different site, no facebook, no twitter, no market etc..... Nothing, you dont get dropped you just cant do anything. I hope my anger dont make anyone think Im arguing with anyone in here and their opinions, we all have this problem and are trying to help eachother, im just poitning out that those who are thinking this is fixing things its not, its just stopping the pop up. I am very frustrated this is happening on a brand new phone i waited this long for and paid as much as i did for. There should be a freaking petition started for this cause its just wrong.

Works fine for me my wifi never disconnects now after unchecking auto network switch and always scanning... Idk what to tell you guys that are still having the issue because I had the same issue when I first got the phone too...
Maybe try forgetting the network then reconnect after unchecking those settings and reboot...

Not all phones are created equal. Samsung needs to change the wifi drivers on the phone or a dev needs to take note 2 drives and add them to a custom rom.

I posted this in a different forum also but figured id post it here to. I just got off the phone with Samsung & they told me its not a major reported problem, wtf, lol? Everyone i know who owns this phone has this problem with it sayin internet connection to slow and booting them off, even with full signal. Im on my 2nd phone now & have the same problem. They tried telling me to go in to the wifi call settings & turn off wifi calling preferred, & i said why? Even though it's checked I have it off. I said seriously? what is that going to do for a wifi signal problem, lol. It's not my wifi calling it's my full wifi signal. I can tell this is going to be a huge problem & im returning my phone, 3rd time now, for a new one today, if i get the same problem, almost positive i will, im sadly going to have to return this phone & just get a refund instead. & that would really suck. Maybe i'll try a black one, but im sure it probably happens on that one to, lol.

I have been having this problem also. Turning off "Auto network switch" in the advanced network settings allows the phone to hold on to the connection, but it is completely unstable. I tested the connection using iPerf and it was all over the place. I can post screenshots when I get home later if it helps anyone. Samsung definitely needs to step in here.

Samsung could careless about us. They sold the phone to TMOBILE not us. Or whatever ur using. Everyone needs to complain to the big 4 major company. Then if they get hit hard then they can light a fire under Samsung butt.
