My wife and I both have the s3. Uo until today, we could use wifi direct no problem. However, today it has decided to stop working. I can't figure out why. Has anyone encountered issues with WFD?

I've been searching around and I don't see anyone else having this problem. I have kept my galaxy nexus stock since I purchased it the day it came out. I started paying for tethering this week and I've been having a huge problem with it.
When I enable the wi-fi hotspot for the first time it works excellently. I get amazing 20Mbs down and everything is rainbows an ponies. If I then disable it and enable it again I am able to connect to the hotspot just fine but I get no internet connection.
I'm starting to think it's possible I have a defective device and might need to get it swapped out. I've seen a few blog posts that seem to mention issues with the Verizon nexus wi-fi hotspot but no real fourm activity regarding it.
My other option is to wait for the Jelly Bean update and see if anything gets better. Or rooting and seeing if it happens to work. I'd rather root for fun though not to get something I'm paying out the ass for to work.
Thanks for any help
Hi All,
Just ran into a new (severe) problem. It began yesterday evening.
I was in the process of pairing my phone with my new bluetooth car stereo, and noticed it wasn't pairing properly (was doing phone or audio, but not both simultaneously).
Anyway I went to the internet via 3G to try to find issues with bluetooth, and then I noticed internet wasn't working at all.
I walk up to my apartment and then try WIFI, which also is not functioning at all (it's as if it's not connected - I just get "webpage not available" in the browser, and similar messages in every other app).
Note that the phone / sms still works fine.
I had made a nandroid a week and a half ago, went home and restored that. It fixed the problem; internet was working correctly again.
As of now, the problem has reappeared! Internet not working at all. Absolutely no idea what could be causing this issue (perhaps AFWall+? Was there an update?), has anyone else run into this before?
I do notice that when the phone reboots, it has internet initially right after booting but then shortly after stops working.
Which rom are you on?

Freeza's Galaxy S Fre3 2.34d. And for some reason internet is working again on my phone ... no idea what's going on.
Hi all,
I recently sent my phone in and got it back probably little less than a week ago. Samsung had to replace the motherboard on my phone as it had the infamous SDS syndrome. I just realized the other day that when I connect it to WiFi at home, I can't upload my apps on the Play Store. I can still surf the web and everything, but most of the apps just don't connect to the web.
Is there a solution to this or do I have to send it again? As you probably know I don't want to do that because it's extremely frustrating. Should I try doing a reset to see if this helps the solution or ?
I know that it worked on another WiFi hot spot (my work) on Friday, so this issue just happened recently. I'm pretty tempted to do a hard reset since I don't have everything downloaded and reloading my contacts won't be that big of an issue. Any recommendations will help. It also states that my WiFi download speed at home is 72MBPS when I check the network I'm connected too.
Many thanks in advance for the help!
EDIT: I have not rooted my phone and don't plan too anytime soon. I'm considering on selling this so I can get the Note 3, but after the couple of issues lately, not sure if I wanna stick with the Note at all.
EDIT 2: Weird, it seems like it works in my room but not in my living room...I just realized that now which is extremely annoying, any solutions or suggestions as to what might be causing this?
EDIT 3: And it's not working again...I cancelled the download and tried downloading it again and it works again! This is frustrating....any help would be appreciated!

Just noticed that it seems like I can download most apps that have less than 10MB...any solution to this? If not I might just don't a reset later on tonight.
Hi,
I've meaning to ask this a while ago but never had a chance to. I also tried looking for threads related to wifi problem with the note 3, but they all dont seem to be the same problem as the one i'm having.
Whenever I use touchwiz roms: Darthvader, Jedi, Hyperdrive. My wifi connects but would stop working after a while of not using my phone. The wifi icon says it's connected but nothing would load, I always have to turn wifi off and on to fix this problem, then when phone idle for a while then the problem would come back.
However when I use AOSP roms, the wifi is working great. Always connected like it should be. Anyone else have this problem? Is there any fix that I haven't heard?
P.S Sorry if what I said is confusing, English isn't my first language.
Hey everyone,
I recently made another topic about my WiFi going off. The problem fixed itself and now it has decided to come back, I'm starting to get to a point now where I just wanna throw it at a wall its so irritating I've installed MULTIPLE rom's on my phone and the problem is still persisting. In my room, I sleep near the WiFi so there is no problem it will work great but when I go to another room say for instance the kitchen it will cut off instantly the phone knows my WiFi is there but it will refuse to connect at all even when i forget Wifi I retype it in it will still happen. I've looked at different topics on google but none of them help me. Is there anything out there that can fully resolve this issue. Please.
Thank You.
