Got my sgs3 Sunday and when I got home turned on WiFi and started playing with it I notice that I lose network for a second after about 15 mins and my WiFi icon on the status bar disappear but network comes back on .. but in settings it is greyed out and I can't turn it off then back on till I reboot 0_o...thought maybe after I rooted and flash AOKP it would be fixed but no! I'm on T-Mobile and AOKP..so is it a bad WiFi driver or...? Any ideas?
#*0011# press the menu key. Select wifi. uncheck wifi power saver mode. Its should be green when on black off. Make sure its not on and done go back to home screen. Your phone should reboot the wifi driver and your done.
This method works for 4.0.4 any of the roms. Cm10 doesn't work. Cm9 haven't tried but I'm sure it'll work for u.
Hit the thanks if I've helped!

JB has these wifi issues I was expiriencing the same problems on cm10 as well. (I know not the same but both are jb) I decided to downgrade to the intrigue rom r3. It has smooth transitions. Real buttery and it let me access the wifi power saver mode by down ng the method above. I'll look into aokp and see if I can find a fix for u.

does aokp have a setting like i think TW has where if the wifi signal is too weak it will use network instead?
its called avoid bad connections on cm10

For anyone who has already turned off WiFi PSM, is anyone experiencing this setting turning itself back on? I have turned it off twice today and every so often it turns back on which ends up turning my WiFi back off...

Question: are you rebooting your phone when this happens?
Cuz if you are that's normal on every reboot you have to go back and turn it off again.

I was not rebooting the phone. I am currently trying a different rom to see if that solves anything.
Weird

Well it still keeps happening. I switched from intrigue rom to freegs3. I'm currently using the phone at work and it happened right before my eyes while using Tapatalk... I had to turn off power saver mode yet again

would the method above work for me? since yesterday, my wifi kept turning on by itself. After I turned the wifi off for like a couple minutes then it'll turn on automatically again. I have the Keep Wifi on during sleep set as "only when plugged in" and it never happen to be before until yesterday. My power saving in the setting menu has always been off too. Please help! :crying::crying:
Install the app called "Wifi Fixer" app to the solve the issue.
Whatever Google did to cause a variety of wakelock problems, having a strong wifi signal seems to solve them. Apparently, wakelocks occur when there are unreliable connections to Google's servers.

My WiFi connection when first starts up is blue then goes grey. Anyone having this issue? I'm on the latest radio and on aokp
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
YES!! This occurred for me on the stock ATT TW rom and then same thing happened on EVERY OTHER ROM I tried after that including AOKP, LiquidRom, Aristodemos....
It's annoying and I don't know what to do.
The wifi will connect and stay blue for 5 seconds then turn grey for 10 more sec and then wifi will completely disconnect and wont reconnect unless i turn wifi off and then on again. im at a complete LOSS.
anyone have any ideas?
Seems this only happened on aokp. Doesn't happen on cm10 for me

OK I am on xylon 14b2 and I have tried different kernels but I still have this problem, the WiFi is great but the signal often becomes weak and disconnects from it. Also happened on stock 4.1.1

What is the trick to get the mobile data to kick in. The signal bars show signal but they are greyed out, not blue like when connected. I tried updating profile and prl but cannot connect even tried over WiFi but no luck. Sprint GNex GA02 modems.
I never had this problem with my OG Epic4g

You have your Google account syncing?

The evdo never kicks in and I have mobile data turned on

The pick is not of the issue but that is what the bars look like this us pa3 with mobile data off
Try different radios. Fh05 work much better than ga02 for me
Ya in my area I don't have 4g yet so I rely on 3g for everything
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Happened to me on BB7 and the fix was to change from LTE/CDMA to just CDMA (or vice versa) uncheck mobile data wait 15 or so seconds then turn it back on and then if/when I saw the 3g icon Id update profile then prl.
I have tried that, and mine still isn't blue. I switched from TouchWiz to CM10 last week and at first, the signal bars and WiFi indicator were both blue. Now they are grey. And yes, my Sync is on.

I worded that a little weird. At first, when I started using CM10, the indicators were blue. Now, they are grey.
After flashing the rom, it was fine for a week or so. But now, data connection disappears randomly. On settings tab, the data is on, but data is not connected. To fix it, I gotta restart the phone or go on airplane mode, and turn it back off. Anyone with same problems or fix??

I had this problem with wicked v3 but not with v4

I believe it has something to do with the LTE apn. I am experiencing the same issue on v4, I was experiencing it on v3 but had it worked out after messing with the settings. subbing for other's experience.
