I tried 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 and they both do the same thing. Whenever I am in Airplane mode wifi will not turn on. I press the button and it just freezes in the on position and then nothing happens. Never had this problem on any other rom. Any Suggestions?

This is default Samsung settings and cannot be changed at this time.

Does that only apply to EB13? DK28 and DI18 never had this problem. The only reason I ask is because I live in an area where I get no service and my battery drains 3x as fast if I dont have Airplane mode on.

I never tested it much in previous versions, but I can confirm it occurs across EB13. The setting is tweakable at a low level - and I question why Samsung didn't include it in Settings, and why even Spare Parts doesn't tweak it.

Thanks for the feedback k0nane, Im overseas right now so anything but airplane mode is an instant battery drain if I want to use Wifi. I figured this was Samsung's fault now I know. Here's to hoping EC05 fixes it, though I have my doubts.
Given that your aware of it, do you think it is something you guys (the awesome Devs) will be able to fix with time?

Yes. Thereotically, it's as simple as a settings.db change - I'm looking at it for 1.1.0.

Cool, Your my hero! Thanks again for your awesome work.
You might be able to toggle it under the testing mode (dial settings).
if I remember correctly it is something like:
#*INFO##4444# might be able to shut off all cellular connections, but still keep wifi and gps open.

That would be absolutely perfect. This is the only problem I am having with your Rom. If its fixed I will definately donate to the cause. Your Rom is by far the smoothest, fastest one out.

Hmm, seems without a data connection i cant get into that menu...or maybe I'm typing it in wrong. I know I've been in that menu before.

This did seem to work, the correct code is *#INFO*1111#
Under the Phone info menu I turned off the radio. Now I can be out of airplane mode but don't seem to be losing any battery to cell standby, only display and phone idle.
Thanks for the suggestion, this will get me by for the week. Im out of thanks for the day but I owe you one =)
Edit: Thanked you properly
Similar Issue
Im having a similar issue with this Rom.
Thats if were both talking about Syndicate Frozen Rom.
I have version 1.1.0 (newest)
My problem is that my wifi is not working it times out and never enables itself.
Another problem im having is I like the stock clocks app and the memo but cant seem to figure out how to re-install them.
Ive looked all over the forum and nobodys strategies are working for me.
Please give me advice on whats the best option that works for most people on how to re-install these apps.
Wifi is a constant love to have on my phone, i need it working like ASAP, please help.
After I finally got tired of being nagged about about the LH2 update, I updated. Bye bye root,Titanium and recovery Noticed that my GS3 started dropping WiFi again (3" from router). So I dutifully go into service screen with *#0011# and disabled it. Expected after a firmware update. However, I noticed the same behavior the next day or two. So I disable it again and performed an immediate reboot. Go back only to discover that WPSM has been turned on. WTF!?!?!? :crying:
same thing here...
Every time you restart/reboot it goes back to "on"

man, what rom and kernel are you using, I had a similar problem, so I tried different kernels until one worked, I am no dev but I think that the update/rom/kernels have some things to do with it, guess it's just finding a combination that works.
Good luck.
Search for and install WiFi High Performance Widget from the play store. You will have run some tests to verify its working.
If you go into the *#0011# menu the button will show that it is on. But other apps will show Power Management is off.
Just looked and it may be that Power Save Mode may be different than Power Mgmt. Not sure but it may be something to start from when checking this stuff.
Hope this helps you out a little. Sorry I dont know more right off hand.

Totally stock, and rooted. I am also having problems now with Titanium uploading to Google Drive. Only successful with WPSM off. Still hit or miss though. Unrelated(I think), but I can now receive calls on WiFi calling.
*#0011# not working
For some strange reason, the *#0011# method of pulling up the menu to access the Wi-Fi power saving mode ON/OFF button is no longer working for me. I dial it in the keypad but no menu appears anymore. What's strange is that it used to. Anyone else having this issue?
Also, does keeping the power saving mode ON restrict the range of the Wi-Fi signal as well? Or simply make Wi-Fi turn off when the phone is sleeping?
Hello,
After updating from CM9 to CM10 I started facing wifi issue. My phone works normally for 1-3 days, and then wifi stops working. If I go to wifi settings, it says "Searching for Wi-Fi Networks". Also, wifi cannot be turned off. After reboot wifi operates normally for some time until this glitch happens again.
I thought it was CM-related issue, but some people say they have faced this issue even with stock JB.
Do you have this issue? How can it be fixed?

No idea on how to fix it, i have it too.
It's not happening too frequently to bother me.
Is there ; Support connect to wireless network by QSS (Quick Security Setup)??
for this build patch?
I have this exact same problem on CM10. I did a full wipe and the problem remains
I will keep searching for a solution, but I really hope someone can tell us more information as to what the cause might be.

i have same problem with CM10. i flash other ROM (XenonHD) and issue has gone.sorry my bad english
I have noticed this for the last two weeks. My GPS has been acting goofy, and if I try to navigate it will just always say "searching for GPS". I made sure that my actual gps is turned on, I did so from the drop down notification, but I noticed that when opening my maps and stuff, I don't get the gps icon in my notification bar. Any one else experiencing this? I'm wondering if my phone is jacked, or if there's s quick fix. Phone if totally stock, no Rom, it's not flashed or anything. I did update to 4.1
Thanks in advance for any help.
Reset your phone from settings> backup and restore. If that doesn't work then Odin back to stock and repeat.

I think this might be a little excessive.
Hard reset fixed this issue on my S3. Just pull the battery without shutting the phone down then turn the phone back on. I haven't had the issue come back since doing the first and only hard reset on my phone.

Untick and tick back GPS and WiFi localisation in localisation settings.
Search faster GPS in the play store. My phone locks instantly now.

I have been having this same GPS issue since I upgraded to jelly bean....
I have Odin back to stock , changed my kernels, changed base bands, installed various custom ROMs and tried GPS fix apps from the playstore ...The issue still persists......The only time it worked for 2 days straight without issues was when I installed the Paranoid android AOSP ROM.....
It had various bugs I wasn't willing to live with so I am back to wicked v2.1 and still trying to find a permanent solution regarding ng the s3's GPS issue..
The GPS temporarily works when the phone is restarted but after about 10 mins the GPS icon doesn't come on again until the phone is restarted...
I am currently using my Tmobile s3 to send this message and my GPS is not functional at the moment...I always have to restart the phone when I want to use navigation..

I did a battery pull yesterday, GPS has been working along with navigation. I'm just waiting to see how long it will work now. It sounds like it's a known issue than? Let's how there's a fix!

Welcome to the club, mate! For me, wifi has almost never worked as it should.
Mostly, it works just fine until the phone goes to sleep for a few minutes. Then
the speed is reduced to around 1-2 Mbit/s, & the only way to restore the speed
is to turn wifi off & then turn it on again. After doing that, everything's Hunky Dory
until the phone goes to sleep again. Then the story repeats itself....
I've almost given up on Samsung by now, since they seem totally unable (unwilling?)
to fix this widely experienced issue. Also, their update scheme for this "flag ship" (?)
suck big time, at least for us wanting the "NEE" version of KK4.4.2....
And btw, this phone also seems unable to record both sides of a conversation
when using a BT headset. That's NOT ok in 2014, Sammy! You've got my
money once, but you've made sure that I won't do the same mistake twice.

Has anybody found a solution to this, I can't download anything in sleep mode, tried all wifi settings, is it just 4.4.2?
Hi , is not the best solution but you can try Juice defender to automatically turn wifi on when phone wakes.
I'm on dr Ketan V14 rom and wifi works fine.
I hope that can help you.
I realize that this is an old thread.... amazing how they just peter out with no real solution.
N7100, stock ROM, Rooted, and have Xposed Deep deep wifi sleep activated.
This happens about 90% of the time coming out of sleep, even the wifi quick setting is un-illuminated so have to turn it back on. When phone is shut down and then restarted, it happens 100% of the time, even after a full re-install of the ROM, 4.4.2.
I've stopped worrying about it.
