Does anyone else have there phone continuously scanning wifi, once every 5 seconds or so, even when connected? Just go into wifi settings and see if it is scanning often. Additionally i get a lot of "Connected to abc network" messages in other applications when i thought my connection was established already long ago. And often find that even though im connected it is not passing data. I get ping times in the 200 + range to yahoo.com when a computer on the same network gets 50ms ping times. The wifi is the only issue i have with the phone, but my old S3 did not act this way and i want to know what everyone else is seeing, so i can send it back or get it fixed.
Thank you!
Check in your settings menu.
Settings>Mobile networks>connections optimizer.
Make sure thats unchecked

yeah it is turned off and the wifi power saving mode is off too *#0011# menu one. Same deal though...
Are you rooted? Maybe fixing permissions in recovery would help? Pretty sure it did for me.
I recently have been having this issue. 4.1.2 LJC trying to figure it out.. Reboots seen to temp fix it.. Just tried fix permissions so I had to reboot but will chime back in if it completely is fixed

How would fixing permissions, fix wifi scanning?
Couldn't tell you it just did. Resetting my phone and router didn't do it.
One solid day after fixing permissions seems to have fixed it Lol. Did you happen to flash some morphology? Just asking

Another option would be to set up profiles. And disable wifi all together in the profile you use when your out and about. And enable it in the profile you use at home with your wifi. And then just switch between the profiles.

I downloaded fake gps on my a100 and set myself to monaco for a laugh....
big oops that was, now i can't get back home...
When I connect to mobile 3g or anyother wifi, the gps is fine, but at home on my hub, it allways sets me to monaco.... (wish i did live there!!!!)
I've deleted fake gps, and reset my hub.. nothing works. It must be linked to my wifi at home but how can I get it working again......
Thanks in advance....
Try this: go to settings > developer options > uncheck allow mock locations.

Done that. Even done a reset agps state.... nothing.... only reports wrong GPS state when at home..... annoying more than anything
On the market it says to disable the use wireless networks option in loction settings to avoid the issue you are having. Have you tried that?
Sent from my A100 using Tapatalk 2
Tried that, no joy. (or very very slow). Fake GPS obviously set something somewhere that needs to be reset. Grrrrrrr. Wifi GPS all ways worked fine before.... not a major problem this, just a tad annoying ....
Are you rooted? You could try deleting the files in data/GPS/...make a backup first of course

Try an app called faster fix, and reset your GPS pool it may trigger a re center on your location.

Downloaded and run. Selected UK and hit go. Message at bottom says failure, please try again'
Try deleting your home wifi, rebooting, and re- adding your home wifi. It has to be something associated with your home wifi, since it works OK everywhere else. If that don't work, email the app dev.

I looked at the app in play store to get email address and noticed they have now put a warning on the description to make sure you disable use wifi for GPS before running to avoid problems.
Grrrrrr if only they had put that before I'd run it... others beware.
I have emailed them and will post reply.
Cheers anyway all.
Got it sorted. Original dev of app didn't help at all, just said look in forums....idiot.
I reset router, turned off wifi GPS and left tablet for 2 hours getting a GPS signal. I then turned on wifi and it worked..... oh well... cheers for help
Could somebody give me a link to or send me the GPS directory files. I will try deleting mine and copy the working once.
My GPS is still dead...not even a single sat after hours. I have tried the patch No2 now I am going to try the No1 Patch.
Hey filking - I had the same trouble as you with fake GPS and I've tried all the recommended steps you mentioned but to no avail.
Do you mind listing them out step by step what you did so I can make sure I'm doing the right fix?
Many thanks
So I have it set up to check for the cell tower...and turn my wifi on and if I'm at home change the lock screen off/on
I'm having an issue where the wifi keeps turning off....and I don't know if its a issue with the gs2 and ill have to set it different...or an issue with my wifi or an issue with cm9??
To test to make sure it was not a connection issue with cell tower or tasker. I set it all day today to instead of turning on wifi to turn on Bluetooth when I'm connected to the same towers..and if my Bluetooth connected to my home computer to change the lock screen and didn't have any problems with it.
What can I use to monitor what happens that causes my wifi to turn off?
Tasker. I'm not sure why but I tried a similar setup after turning wifi on or off a few times it gets buggy.

Incase you still want to set it up like that its a no brainer but it took me a few days to think pf it and then I slapped my forehead in a "duh" type manor... I set up a profile so the cell towers by my house turn it on... Then I set up a profile pasted the same towers clicked to invert it.. So if its on any towers besides the ones by my house.. Had it turn them off.

It works amazing! Recomended for sure. Sorry that took a while for me to get back to you.
Despite checking off Never, my phone is keeping Wi-Fi active and the phone isn't sleeping. Is there a way to fix this glitch? Also despite having an airave at home, my device shows constantly under the battery setting that i have no mobile signal. This is possibly making the phone search for signal, and explains why it often find a weird roaming signal. Anyone know any fixes?

Yep, what this guy said.
It was bugging me for a while too, not sure if its a feature of 4.1.x Android, but my understanding is if the device senses a Wi-Fi connection it turns on the radio and might ask you to try to configure. At the office, while driving, etc etc.

It is a feature of the OTA Samung update that put your device to LJC .. After you installed the update whether it was Automatic over the air or even manually once you device said Update installation successful then a box was up that you had to hit "Ok" and it was the box that read about the new Sprint Optimization option.
So, if you have the wifi on in the house it still causes a problem? Or is this an issue when you are out and have the wifi off, and it still searches for wifi location no matter what killing the battery?
So this has happened to me at home and work but it's not consistent. Some times when I try to connect I get a message on the WiFi connect that says "Network disabled because Internet connection is slow" (see picture). Any idea what criteria is used to determine this, and is there a way to over ride it?
I'm at work right now and I just got kicked out wifi due to too slow lol.. but at home I have not got it yet.. maybe too much people at work using the wifi network. .
I setup my home network to have separated name (SSID) for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz Network.
When I connect to the 2.4Ghz channel, no problem.
At the same distance, like 6 inches away from the router, when I connect to the 5Ghz channel, my 2 Galaxy Note 3 shows the same "network too slow" error and it will drop the connection.
This is one of the many reasons I returned my GSN 3
I also experienced another WiFi error.
At work, I can connect to the WiFi network with the WPA password provided, on my HTC One with no issue whatsoever.
When I tried to connect to the same network using the Note 3, it keeps telling me I have to "sign-in", when I click on the browser to "sign-in" (like those Free WiFi you can get at the hotel), there is no sign in page (because there is none) and brings me right to Google.com.
After that, the connection will last for 30 seconds or so and drop off.
The one I got initially and the replacement, both have the same issue, and I did inform T Mobile before I return them back.
4.3 problem? Samsung's problem? I don't know... All I know is I will wait until they resolve all these before I will reconsider getting this phone.
I spoke to them on same issue. Got new phone and they working on updating the WiFi drivers.

Here is the fix for this it worked for me try this....
Go to wifi advanced settings lower left corner then uncheck auto network switch. Then check the box that pops up that says don't ask again. This should fix your wifi connecting issue...

So far yes. Not a 100% sure though because the problem was not consistent. Sometimes it would connect sometime give the message. So, I'll keep you posted if it comes back.
Not trying to say your post isn't serious enough but we all who are having this problem on a consistent basis need to make a thread about this and just not take anything for an answer, but to give people somewhere to complain about this & hopefully bring more attention to this because there is nothing that is fixing this issue. The only thing that will fix this is Samsung or a Dev on a custom ROM hopefully. If you uncheck the options in advanced settings, it just stops the pop up from coming up telling you the connection is to slow & dropping you, after unchecked it dont drop you but while still showing you a full connection it will not do anything data wise, connect to the internet, switch to a different site, no facebook, no twitter, no market etc..... Nothing, you dont get dropped you just cant do anything. I hope my anger dont make anyone think Im arguing with anyone in here and their opinions, we all have this problem and are trying to help eachother, im just poitning out that those who are thinking this is fixing things its not, its just stopping the pop up. I am very frustrated this is happening on a brand new phone i waited this long for and paid as much as i did for. There should be a freaking petition started for this cause its just wrong.
Works fine for me my wifi never disconnects now after unchecking auto network switch and always scanning... Idk what to tell you guys that are still having the issue because I had the same issue when I first got the phone too...
Maybe try forgetting the network then reconnect after unchecking those settings and reboot...

Not all phones are created equal. Samsung needs to change the wifi drivers on the phone or a dev needs to take note 2 drives and add them to a custom rom.

I posted this in a different forum also but figured id post it here to. I just got off the phone with Samsung & they told me its not a major reported problem, wtf, lol? Everyone i know who owns this phone has this problem with it sayin internet connection to slow and booting them off, even with full signal. Im on my 2nd phone now & have the same problem. They tried telling me to go in to the wifi call settings & turn off wifi calling preferred, & i said why? Even though it's checked I have it off. I said seriously? what is that going to do for a wifi signal problem, lol. It's not my wifi calling it's my full wifi signal. I can tell this is going to be a huge problem & im returning my phone, 3rd time now, for a new one today, if i get the same problem, almost positive i will, im sadly going to have to return this phone & just get a refund instead. & that would really suck. Maybe i'll try a black one, but im sure it probably happens on that one to, lol.
I have been having this problem also. Turning off "Auto network switch" in the advanced network settings allows the phone to hold on to the connection, but it is completely unstable. I tested the connection using iPerf and it was all over the place. I can post screenshots when I get home later if it helps anyone. Samsung definitely needs to step in here.

Samsung could careless about us. They sold the phone to TMOBILE not us. Or whatever ur using. Everyone needs to complain to the big 4 major company. Then if they get hit hard then they can light a fire under Samsung butt.

Got a Note 3 right after they came out.
Had an issue with the first one, not the least of which was the pervasive WiFi disconnect issue many of us have been seeing; in my case also had extreme battery drop all of a sudden - like 45% in an hour - not abnormal use.. So, swapped it about 20 days ago for another one.
Seeing the same WiFi connectivity issue I saw with the first one and then all of a sudden got a pop up :
"Prevention Information"
An application has been forced to stop for an unauthorized attempt to access system in your device. It may be safe to delete an application obtained from an unauthorized route. Check Now? (with a Do not show for 30 days check box; Cancel or Ok buttons)
If you click cancel pop up comes back after about 10 mins more or less; if you click Ok you get brought to a list of what you have downloaded to weed through whatever you've installed.
Full disclosure: This device is out of the box, not rooted; stock Rom. Only none play store apps installed were Adobe Flash and Amazon App store. I use WiFi extensively for WiFi calling at my office, since there isn't a carrier on the planet can get me a decent signal. I live and die behind WiFi calling it's why I went T-Mobile to start with.
* So I proceed to scan hell out of this, using Lookout, Sophos and MalwareBytes can't find anything..
* Ok so I uninstall everything I've been experimenting with thinking maybe the mix is a problem. Doesn't solve it
* So then I do a software Backup and restore - and go to put back the one app I need the most for my Hosted Exchange connectivity to work the best for my needs adding them back one at a time to see what's causing this . Of course I turn WiFi back on to connect to my network and signing into my Google Account Google Play takes off to restore all my stuff and do all updates for anything stock on the phone. (Phone Vendors WAKE UP; Stop making the default Google Play behavior Up Date Automatically when on WiFi, let the user decide before taking off to do what you think is best) And - The pop up is back just as I get the 1 app I need on the phone. (email support for the app saying it's them - MANY APOLOGIES to Nitro Desk, it's not them.
* Very long story and many soft and hard resets, to try control the behavior, later; including running 2 miles up the road to control Google Play auto update on WiFi, but, only be on the T-Mobile network for the initial startup....
With nothing but a minimal start-up and No Apps installed other than what Google Play demanded to be able to work at all out of the box when signing in; once I got the phone back to the office and started WiFi for my network - Blammo ! the pop up is back.
This "error" or warning message is from the base Android/Samsung/T-Mobile deployment configuration for a Note 3 when starting WiFi at all.
So, I happen to be near the T-Mobile store I bought this at and go in to tell them about this and the guys there running a Note 3 say they all get the same issue.
My conclusion is that this is a miss-configuration of software and/or permissions at the core OS level when starting WiFi; likely contributing or the primary cause of WiFi connectivity issues on this device; as reported in this and other forums.
I have screenies of this condition and would love to pass this to T-Mobile and Samsung engineering, but, unlikely I can get at them to do so; hopefully they are already aware of this and working on a fix.
The other interesting thing I noticed is that when doing a hard reset: during the start of recovery mode I get an "error" then no command message under the little droid as it settles down to the menu.
Also at the end of the recovery mode process for wipe data/factory reset I get an "error" message in red as well.
Again, seems to me there's a serious flaw in their Core programming setting up proper permissions for the base WiFi stack to start without triggering a security violation.
It doesn't matter if you connect to an AP or not. Just starting WiFi the pop up will come up in 60 - 90 seconds.
This is consistently reproducible.
T-Mobile is sending me another phone; but, I believe it will behave the same way - hope not, we'll see.

That may be, but, in this case it is 100% reproducible under these conditions and happens if WiFi is turned on at all before any updates and before any additional apps are installed, other than the ones the Play store insists on bringing in to work properly once initially signing in, happens to me in this very limited and controlled startup of the device and only when starting WiFi and no other time in that controlled condition; before any updates or Play Store apps are installed.
It also happens after they are; so it seemed,to me at least, to have value because of the controlled diagnostic startup; since the condition is 100% reproducible using these steps and under these limited initial startup conditions, at least on the device I have in my hands at the moment.
A replacement should be here sometime today and will attempt to reproduce it on the replacement; T-Mobile tech support seems to think it will behave the same way as well; FWIW to anyone.
Thanks so much for the input and advice; duly noted.
Best regards,

Knock yourself out....
You might try doing a simple Google Search for samsung "Prevention Information" and see just how many threads there are about this issue. It is not just the Note 3 but a number of other Samsung devices as well.
Actually it has everything to do with wifi. Knox is thinking wifi is trying to collect information from your device as if it is a type of virus. Samsung is fully aware of the issue & there is an update coming based around that specific issue.

+1 Thank you slpn...
I'm glad to hear there's some fix in the works. Do you have a link handy for that? It's clear that the shipped Knox/SEAndroid configuration shipped on this device (and perhaps other Samsung models) really wasn't tuned very well before release.
OP, if you want to know more about this read some of the other threads here about Knox - the Everything Knox thread in this forum is pretty good IIRC, and the Samsung Knox whitepaper is an interesting read too (here). Basically, Samsung rolled their own solution for bring-your-own-device enterprise users, which is based in part on the SELinux extensions to Android (SEAndroid) along with some lower-level supervisory logic that's probably somewhere in the boot loader / modem / etc. [speculation] and some degree of hardware support such as the "knox warranty void" flag.
Unfortunately they developed this alongside/outside the reference implementation of SEAndroid, wrote their own APIs for interaction, etc. and don't seem to have done it terribly well. I'm tempted to ask that Samsung provide some way to actually control it, or provide a signed development FW that won't trip the hardware flag, as it really is an intrusion for non-enterprise customers. >.<

Actually I've gotten the notification without wifi although it usually happens when I do turn it on.
Totally agree though that a simple search would have saved a HELLS of a lot of trouble. Smh
Yes it's a bug but it's not really that big of an issue. I can almost guarantee it will be fixed soon with some kind of minor update.
Well I have two other issues besides the "prevention information" for some reason my note 3 keeps giving me a unstable wifi connection when the connection to the wifi is good for example on my note 2 is perfect mo issues no lags on the note 3 however I get that unstable wifi connection, and for my second issue I get a damn google+ app crash every time im on the phone or any app . This note 3 has become a nightmare with bugs . I was wondering if anyone else has the same issues besides the prevention information ???

I think I had the unstable connection problem a long time ago. I may have made my phone "forget" my wifi network and obviously have connected to it since and have not have that problem. So it's possible simply "forgetting" the network, scanning, and then connecting to it again could fix it?
How often do you use Google+? Is it possible that if you hardly use it you could just sign out of the app and then it won't search for your location so much? I see the new G+ update says something about refreshing friends location more often or something, could be tied in to that?
I dont use google+ at all. It updated on its own and it started crashing since. I just turnt off all my auto updates and I uninstalled the last google+ update lets see if that does the trick .

You can take it how you'd like cause i know how some are when they hear about an update, not saying your one of these people who flame on the other person who try to provide helpful info about an update, but that is also being included in the update i spoke of a few posts above.
What is going on is your phone is scanning your signal & even if you have a full WiFi signal, instead of just leaving you on WiFi like you'd like, it boots you off of WiFi saying internet is unstable if it considers the data connection as being a stronger signal. its a real ignorant move and overlook they made when adding this function. if on WiFi they should let you choose if you want to change connections,or better yet not even bother you to choose between the 2 cause it will interfere with what your doing at that time while you have to choose which connection you want to use. But this is involved with the update we are getting. Verizon already got an update that had to do with WiFi issues with this being one of the issues it fixed.
If you haven't been told yet though, go in to WiFi advanced settings in your WiFi connections menu, and turn off auto connect & always scanning, then dial *#0011#, click your bottom left button on the white part of the phone you'd usually use to bring up the settings menu option, choose WiFi, turn off WiFi power save mode, WiFi power save mode being tuned off cause your battery to drain about 25% faster but this is proven to work. But after a day or 2 always leave WiFi auto connect off & always scanning off, but you can then dial *#0011# & turn WiFi power save mode back on & it's almost as if those functions done together trains your phone to not boot you off WiFi anymore. This seriously works and definitely helps many i have offered the information to. Me and about 3 others figured out how to do this in a thread about 2wks after the phone was released because the wifi booting us off was killing us. People had told us to just turn off auto connect but that would just stop the pop up, but you'd still be getting booted off from WiFi but just wouldn't be told by the pop up yet you'd know because the page you'd be loading on the browser would just stop loading, or say something your using like Facebook would lose signal & tell you an error occurred. Hope this large posts helps you if you read it or anyone else who stumbles upon it.

You have to actually go into the Google+ app to see if you are signed in, unfortunately it will automatically sign you in if you are not already. So even if you accidentally open G+ or some other program or app causes it to open, you still need to actually sign out of it. Hopefully uninstalling the updates does the trick.
