WiFi turns off by itself

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
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

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.

CM10 bugs....how to downgrade to ICS

I installed the cm10 rom about 2 weeks ago. I love jelly bean and cm10 dont get me wrong but i have been noticing that i can not send picture messages when connected to 3g or wifi (i have to reboot the phone everytime i want to send a picture) also my 3g would randomly disappear (it disconnects without showing that its disconnected). I have to put the phone on airplane mode and then reconnect to 3g. Just a few days ago my s3 stopped letting me use the wifi at my job (it said trying to avoid poor signal or something like that). The wifi signal at my job is very strong and i went into the wifi settings and disable the "avoid poor signal" feature. Still it wouldnt connect but it connects to the wifi at my house. I just want to know if im the only person experiencing this. Also how would i be able to switch back to ics from jb? Is it a quick process? Can it be done str8 from my phone without using my computer? Can i do it using mobile odin? If odin is needed?

Going back to ics is as simple as wiping the normal things, then flashing a ics based rom.

So, now that you're back on ICS, you should give CM10 another try. That build was like 2 months old. Those bugs you were talking about have been squashed. Pretty stable at this point.

Ill check it out. Do uknow if netflix is workingon jb?

[Q] Issues - UGH

I'm having some issues. I am on Incredible HD RLS 2, I haven't been able to get on WiFi and this isn't the only ROM where WiFi isn't working. It will just never connect. Well, I tried to install ICS Official global CM9 upon initial boot it said it couldn't read my SIM. I powered down pulled the SIM put it back in and put the phone back together and then I couldn't get any service. No matter what I did I have no service.
Yes I followed all the instructions, wiped everything, flashed the proper gapps and the kernel.
Since that didn't work I went back to my nand and still no service. Anyone have any suggestions?? Please help

On global cm9 rum through setup and change network mode to cdma/evdo becuz it defaults to gsm
I'm so fresh you can suck my nits...

Will give it a shot, thanks.

Awesome, got service back, but WiFi is still not working. It just forever searches and never connects to a network. Anyone have any ideas?

This happens to me sometimes and restarting my router usually clears it up, not sure if you have tried that, just throwing it out there.

I can't reset the router, I'm on a college campus. I have the latest firmware and radios,switched out rom after Rom and still WiFi doesn't work. Any other suggestions?

Aosp, aokp, cm won't connect to wifi with a password.

I am having an issue with my phone connecting to my home wifi. If I run a aosp, aokp or cm Rom, my phone will not connect to my wifi with a password. It will say connecting, then it seems to hang on authenticating, and then loops back to disconnected. Before I try to connect, my wifi will show up with full 'bars' but when I press connect it shows as only one bar, even if I hold it next to my wifi router.
I reset my router to factory defaults by holding the reset button and then my phone will connect to the open wifi network, but as soon as I put it back to require a password, it loops again. I've tried different security, like wep, wpa1, wpa2 and no matter what it will not connect.
My phone connects fine on touchwiz. I'm one hundred percent sure I've entered the password correctly. I'm one hundred percent sure that I've flashed/wiped etc correctly. I even reverted back to stock rooted using Odin and started the whole process of flashing wiping from scratch.
I would love some insight. I've searched the forum and Google looking for a answer, maybe I've overlooked something? Any help anybody can give would be outstanding. Thank you in advance!

Try wiping data, clearing cache and dalvik, then going to mounts and storage and formatting /system, then going the Rom.

Have you tried flashing a custom kernel? Your phone might not play nicely with the built in AOSP kernels.

I have tried various kernels for roms I've attempted to use. For instance, on slimbean I tried the recommended kernel for that rom. For paranoid I tried that recommended kernel. I tried the cm10.1 release candidate last night, without a kernel. Can you recommend one for cm10.1?

Ktkernel or leankernel are 2 very good kernels but make sure your Rom is compatible. If custom kernels don't do the trick, try just waiting. I've had WiFi issues on cm10 and they disappeared after a few hours. Also try a custom TouchWiz rom and see if the problem persists.

WiFi not working

Hey everybody!
Currently I am running the Lifeless v14 Rom on my phone and the phone will not connect to a WiFi connection. After I input the password it just goes to saved but will not connect. I have tried with multiple connections and different ROMs and it only does this on stock based ROMs. I would appreciate any help, thanks in advanced.

Kernel?

If you haven't figured this out yet, maybe this will work.
ZVB has some issues with WiFi. Turn WiFi off, reboot phone, then check to see if Wi-Fi stayed off. If it stayed off, then you should just be able to turn it on and it should work. If it turned itself back on, turn it off, reboot, and more it should work.
If you have a tethering app, that will mess with WiFi. You can only run one or the other per reboot.

can't remember if lifeless has this but try turning off the sprint connections optimizer... wife got a new lgog this past week and was having similar problems with our WiFi at home turned that off and she hasn't had any problems since... also if your using a battery saving app like battery guru make sure you disable any setting where it regulates you're WiFi connection do the same with any apps you have that regulate data turn it off then see if problem persists

I think I tried it before but I'll try it again since I reflashed. I haven't installed any apps whatsoever so I know there is nothing that should be regulating my WiFi connection. Also whenever I tap on Connection Optimizer it says "Setup has not finished yet. Please try again later." I don't know how long I need to wait, it's been a few hours now..
Scratch that, turning off the connections optimizer didn't work.

Just flashed stock ZVB rooted and I have the same problem

Did you ever get this sorted out? I've been having the same problem for the last week. I ended up going back to stock ZVB but it's still not working. I tried updating the radio, zeroing and reflashing my EFS but no luck.
