Hey All, there are a lot of threads and various internet discussions for various SIII wifi problems, but I have yet to find anything that addresses my current issue:
My phone detects wifi networks that it has not connected to before, but once I have successfully connected to a wifi network and subsequently lost that connection, I can never see that wifi network again. I have tried it with a couple different networks, including a wifi hotspot created by my iphone, and it always happens. My wifi will still show networks that I have not connected to.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The phone is not rooted and is using the stock Rogers firmware.
Thanks!

has this always been happening or did this come about after your last OTA firmware update?

This hasn't always been happening... I have had the phone for a few weeks now and it started after I arrived at my company apartment in Spain last week.

is your phone rooted?
if so try clear data/cache for wifi and see if it works again

your S3 might have wifi power save on
try this
1. Open up the Galaxy*S3*phone dialer
2. Dial *#0011# to enter service mode
3. Press the menu button and select “WiFi”
4. You should see that the “WiFi Power Save Mode” button is “ON”
5. Press it to turn power save “OFF”

if it doesn't work, try factory reset (also wipe cache and data)

My guess: The router is the problem. Or the router's settings. Not your phone itself.
You can test your Wifi by either connecting to another router or to someone's wifi tethering.

I get this problem on various devices occasionally. Sometimes it helps when I remove the network from memory and reconnect to it.
Ie. Click "Forget this network" and then rejoin it. Doesn't always help though.
You can unplug the router for few seconds then plug it back in to see if that works.

Just come back from a holiday abroad where I used my DHD for wifi use whilst in airplane mode. Since returning home my phone can't pick up my home wifi signal. The router is working correctly as I can connect using both a PC and laptop however the phone doesn't register a signal. I have restarted my phone, forgotten the saved wifi connections, reset the router and still nothing
Any suggestions or further info you need??
does your phone find your router when you go into wifi settings and click scan?

No doesn't find any signal. No settings should have changed whilst I was away.
Go to WiFi settings and use the static IP and see if it works.
A bump with a little more info.
Still nothing with wifi at home. But tried my phone at the office of my new job and low and behold managed to pick up a few wireless signals. Although didnt have time to try connect to them.
Did you install any app that may conflict with WiFi?
Not that i'm aware of but is there a way to check dates installed?

I've noticed of late that my One X thinks that my home WiFi is still in range, and that it's connected, even when I am not at home. To get mobile data to work I have to turn WiFi off and back on again to make it work properly.
Anyone experiencing the same?

Nah, there is an option for disconnecting the wifi if there is no good connection.
also there are wifi fixing tools in the market, switching between aps etc.
also there are tools for switching to 3G if WiFi is under some threshold.
Unfortunately you must search and test. Did my fair share of that.
Also check out that option in the settings if you have it checked.

Regardless of that setting, it should know that the Wi-Fi it was connected to is no longer there.

Okay and? Are you completely stock. And you tried already factory reset, and this happens with every AP on the latest sw ?
Then you could try to return it for repairs?

I mostly work from home and use my Wi-Fi there, but, about 50% percent of the time, when I leave the house I’ll have a cell signal, but no LTE or whatnot—mobile data doesn’t work. The only way to fix this is to reboot the phone—enabling/disabling Airplane mode doesn’t resolve the issue.
Anyone else have this problem? I found a similar thread at https://www.reddit.com/r/nexus5x/comments/3qyabc/no_mobile_data_after_leaving_home_and_loosing_wifi/, but I don’t have an account there and was curious to see the response form this forum. For what it’s worth, I use T-Mobile..
Someone mentioned forgetting their WiFi network and adding it again manually fixed the issue for them, did you try that?

Having the same problem. I'll show full bars (but no LTE indicator) and every app complains of no connectivity. Enabling/disabling Airplane mode does work for me, but I have to wait about 30 seconds for the phone to re-register with the cell network (T-Mobile) to get my data working again.

When there is full signal and there is no LTE/4G indicator, then phone still thinks it is still connected to Wi-Fi. I have not had this issue...

While this might be true, there is no Wi-Fi icon/the phone does not appear to be connect to Wi-Fi when this issue occurs.
Resetting the network settings did resolve the issue—and I found out this was due to the APN protocol setting. Due to some SIP issues I was having, I changed this from the default IPv6 to IPv4 and, it appears, this caused this issue—though I have no idea why. Resetting causes IPv6 to be the default again and the issue doesn’t happen when this is the case (but I still have some SIP issues). I have since switched this to IPv4/IPv6 and I haven’t had the issue in a week—and this also resolves my SIP issues.
Hope this helps someone. Cheers.
My Nexus 5x seems to be having problems with the WiFi. I have Android 6.0.1 MMB29V, and everything was working fine until I couldn't connect to my network. When I checked the WiFi settings, it seems that there isn't any network at all. I've seen in this forum that there have been some problems with the Wifi but I haven't found any solution to what's happening to me, cause it has been a few days and it still can't find any network.
How can I check if it's the antenna what is broken? I have no idea what can be happening...
Note: I've tried changing the frequency band, the "Keep WiFi on during sleep", the developer options of using the DHCP from Lolipop and some others...

Has it ever connected to your network or has it just started happening.
Have you tried turning your modem/router off for a few minutes then deleting and readding your network?

I used to be able to connect to three network I use, but now I can't even see the network. I don't think it's because of the router, cause with the PC I can see a lot of networks, none in my Nexus.
I may try to unlock bootloader and update to MHC19J and see if the problem is solved

No APN reset don't work. Get Disconnect from Mobile Data Service. But I see that the settings says when it is connected Network Type EDGE. But if it gets Disconnected then it says GSM
Edit: Attached ScreenShots
Go to developer options and turn on "cellular data always active". I use that on my phone and it picks up the cell signal almost instantly when out of WiFi range. I am still getting about 5 hrs SOT. ,
Okay i think this is gonna work, instand Switch to Mobile Data. And what to you mean with SOT @calbrs
Today i downloadet the system Update 3.2.2 and I think this bug is patched with this update . Actually no issues with the Mobile Data connection
EDIT: NO DONT work same issue

I have exactly the same issue with my OP3 OOS 3.2.2, no root. It is really annoying
Me too, it isn't handling the switch between mobile data and Wi-Fi very well, not sure whether it's just one way, when i get to work and connect to work Wi-Fi I've ended up having to turn off mobile data to get it to use the Wi-Fi connection.

It is two way. That's my observation. I am very disappointed from the phone which has such problems with basic thing like wi-fi connection. I think this will be my first and last OP phone!
So has anyone found a solution to this issue? What kind of flagship killer has problems with such basic functionality?
I've read on other forums that some devices have a feature called Smart Network Switch, but I can't find that anywhere.
And I really don't think it's the APN...I've modified it in all possible ways and it's still happening...not switching automatically but starts working after switching to airplane mode and back. And the "aggressive" switch option doesn't work either.
If anyone has any idea about how to fix this or how it can be further investigated, please share, it's becoming really annoying. Thanks!

I activated the Mobile Data on in the Developer Options and for me it works pretty well.
The IPv4/IPv6 solution seemed to work. I still have issues when connecting to the wireless network (company wifi, with login credentials and the whole deal) but I used to have the same issue with my Nexus 5, meaning that I have to be disconnected from the mobile data to access the wifi network's login page (forgot to mention this in my previous post). Anyway, I'm happy that I don't have to switch to airplane mode anymore Thanks everyone!
