[Q] Ways to improve inconsistent Wifi? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey everyone. I've always had an issue with Wifi with my gs3. Every since jumping onto rooted JB from ICS (Was on 4.2.1 now on 4.2.2.) and regardless the rom I use I always have issues with Wifi not connecting to any networks. Sometimes it does, others doesn't. Most times it does but I never get any data, it just sits connected but not recieving info. I've never updated the modem or baseband, is that it?

Could be... what baseband are you running? You can check by going into settings, then "about phone." Here's what mine looks like (I'm on MB1).

Big problem after flashing ... "Searching"

Hi, everyone I had a rooted GS2 and yesterday I flash the lightly tweaked ROM made by Mr. X for wifi calling. The phone was having problems with wifi calling, so i decided to flash the original Wifi calling update from T-mobile via ODIN and now after i flashed the phone it shows "searching" and it won't find the T-mobile network.
What do you guys recommend i do?
thanks
Flash the stock ROM, wait and see if it finds the network. If everything is normal, flash the update.
I dont think mrx rom requires an update being flashed, it didnt for my phone
Yeah people in the thread were having problems and i read somewhere that it was recommended to do what i did so the baseband number can be updated.
I have flashed back to stock ( the original update before the wifi calling update) and it still shows "searching".

This is what I get when i try to manually select the T-Mobile network. BTW i took out my SIM card and put it in an unlocked iphone 3GS and it works just fine.
Any help? I basically have a brick laying around now.

Stock Rom boot Rooted | Tethering Issue

I have finally rooted my One V ​CDMA Virgin phone. I know it is rooted cause the SU request goes through and says "granted"..
I am trying a couple tethering apps, open garden, WiFi Tether, etc. All of them fail. Thankfully WiFi Tether has a log to show.

Did Virgin really gimp the stock rom? If so what is the best rom to go with? Everyone I see something is not working like bluetooth or camcorder (CM9 or CM10).
I really need help, I have done iphones and ipads all day. Even unlocked my nexus 7. I really want tethering to work via bluetooth or wifi. Want my sexy JB girl to tell me driving directions! LOL. On the One V it sounds like she has a cold, or has multiple personalities (LOL it changes TTS voice randomly sometimes).
Thank you!
*Update: FoxFi works with Bluetooth but not Wifi. Which sucks cause its a VPN connection and for some reason Google Now does not like that.
I'm surprised by the lack of replies. It looks like we have to find a stable non-stock rom to flash to in order to get tethering. I have the EXACT same problem on my girlfriends phone.

[Q] Roaming issue

Greetings programs
I seem to be roaming in places I never had before. I recently flash a custom ROM with MA7 but not sure if that is the problem. I flash a couple of weeks ago and only now having this issuee Going to try and flash just the modem later but figured id check..maybe Isomeone would have some insight.
Changing modems might help, but sprint might be working on towers in your area.

Just a quick update. I changed modems (downgraded to MA5) works fine. Just to check I flashed to MA7 and was back to roaming again. From what i understand the only real diff between the two is one is leaked and the other is official. Maybe they are fiddling with the tower who knows...

For all we know, the modem and or kernel may be the change because it wasn't anything obvious. I'm glad you got it worked out.

[Q] WiFi not turning on and other problems

A relative has recently given me there Note 10.1 2014 LTE (Model number: p605) which is currently encountering some issues, in the hope that I will sort it out for them. The issues are all to do with the WiFi.
The device has absolutely no modifications, and running the stock ROM. Here is a screenshot from the "About" section:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The problem is that WiFi sometimes refuses to turn on. You slide the toggle, and then it just turns grey:
After a minute or so, it will then return to the off state. The funny thing is, rebooting the tablet will temporarily fix the issue, allowing WiFi to be turned on again. However, once idling for a few hours, the issue will return.
My relative says that this issue never happened on JB, but only started happening once upgrading to KK. So my question is: have any other p605 owners experienced this? If so, how did they fix it? If nobody has experienced this, could anybody recommend a good way to fix this? I was thinking about a factory reset, but this should be a last resort, as they really don't want to loose all of there data!
Thanks for the help!

If you mean what I'm showing in my picture, then don't worry. Your data isn't being used along with your WiFi and this is a known phenomenon (I mean, it's obviously happening to me too). No one has really been able to figure out exactly why it happens (to my knowledge).

I get it, too. Happens a couple times a week around the same time in the evenings. Doesn't seem to affect my data usage.
The AT&T visual voice mail app does this when you use it. It seems to always get its data from the cell network even when wifi is available. It's possible that other AT&T apps do likewise.

This isn't the cause because I've had Visual Voicemail disabled since updating to 5.1.1.
