Try restoring with Odin to stock unrooted or flash a ROM to see if that works it might be some corrupt files or your WiFi radio just decided to go bad

Flash another rom or kernel, wifi issues are usually kernel related

Worked!!! Flash kernel mb1 jb.

I'm on the Sprint GS3 and something weird has happened when I flashed two completely different roms that has never happened for as long as I've been flashing Roms dating back to the Samsung epic. I flashed the Avatars Rom and the Liquid Smooth Rom and as I went to sync my contacts I put my email address and password in and it said "could not connect to server". Any reason or fix to that problem.

Are you on WiFi? Might be either a signal drop or wrong password, but I can't think of anything else other than a weak data connection.

If you have wifi, use it. If not, Odin back to stock and start fresh. Sometimes between flashes certain things stick and u just don't realize. I flashed from one TW rom to another with a full wipe and a lock screen setting stuck thru it.

Same problem here. Tried different gapps, signing out of Google account, reflashed ROM, cleared play store data. I haven't even flashed anything in almost a month.

It isn't the ROM necessarily, restoring a recent nandroid fixed it for me. Thank God for nandroids!

Needed to install gapps for the Avatar ROM that's why it wasn't working. For the Liquid ROM its the kernel; I don't know but my phone wouldn't reboot after flashing the rom, the fix, gapps and kernel.

JellyBean: Wifi turning on by itself [Solved]

Here is something new for the last few days, my wifi keeps turning on by itself. Im on stock GB27. This happening to others?
I believe i found the reasons why. Sprint Optimizer
http://forums.androidcentral.com/sprint-galaxy-s-iii/221275-wifi-keeps-turning-itself.html
That is the reason why, I was using an app while running stock that would keep the wifi off until I switched to cm10.1 wild in the night, no longer have that issue

Sprint connection optimizer

I deleted the sprint connection optimizer from my phone and am now getting download speeds of about 1Mbps whereas before I was getting 150-200Kbps. It might just be me but worth trying out if you are rooted.

And unlocked. You can't remove apps unless unlocked. Or you end up in a boot loop.

I always remove it first thing on any ROM. Even on my GS3. It took up so much battery by itself by turning my wifi on and off and messing with my data.
So once rooted and bootloader unlocked would I just go to system/app and delete what? Is it the WiFiOffLoad.apk and the WiFiOffLoad.odex? Thanks

Has anyone tried it with a locked boot loader? I know removing Google and LG stuff causes Security error on boot, but I have frozen sprint apps no problem

Is there any merit to this? How is deleting C.O. making your download speeds faster?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Whether or not this works for anyone else or why it works for me is unknown. All I know is that before and after the deletion my download speeds increased. Whether or not it coincided with a network improvement that is causing my speed increase I don't know.
I have compared my results with a friend with the same phone but is completely stock and my download speeds are significantly more than his.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Well it doesn't hurt to try. I'll check if it does anything to my speeds and report back.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
I'm not sure if it's a fluke but it does seem that I am getting better download speeds. Top 2 scores are with C.O. uninstalled and bottom 2 are with C.O. Installed. Maybe you are onto something. I'll perform more tests later on since there isn't sufficient data to prove this yet.
Edit: Before I tested with/without C.O, I updated the PRL. Both internal/external IPs were different. No speed changes were seen without updating PRL with/without C.O. I doubt removing C.O does anything to increase speeds.

If anything the connection optimizer is annoying and deleting it does clear up some resources.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
I want to try this but I don't want to unlock again. Could I freeze the application? Or disable with autorun manager with no ill effects?

But if you try to select it in settings it should force close.

GPS broken

I think my Gps is broken. I have been running seanzs skynote 4.3 n3 edition since its been out. I have tried wiping everything including internal memory amd reinstalling multiple times to no avail. I have tried flashing different modems. Replacing gps.config file. Tried multiple apps that are supposed to fix gps lock issues. Didn't work. Do you guys think going back to stock would help? And if so what is the best way to do that? And any other suggestions?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
I would like to also add that I do not know if it was working before I flashed 4.3. I didn't use it that much at all until I recently was trying to use it in a city ive never been to before.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Try the return to stock... And test it...
Make sure that you upgrade back to UCAMH3...as it contains GPS fixes and new libs...
If it still doesn't work... The device may have hardware issues... g

Wifi Issues

I'm having issues with my Wifi and clueless on how it got to this point. Everytime I try to turn it on, it turns back off automatically. I'm at home trying to connect so it should have the password saved already. Any ideas on what to do?
I'm running Wicked Rom V7, I have been out with friends all day drinking. Haven't used my phone besides texting, Instagram, and Facebook. It was fine this morning til now.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
Are you sure its not working? I mean after drinking all day, a lot of things might seem broken that aren't. :beer:
If you are sure its busted, check these things...
Make sure the password on the router hasn't changed. If you live with other people you never know. Or the router could have just reset to defaults for some odd reason.
Delete the saved WiFi connection on your phone and start over. The password in your phone might have been corrupted too, causing it to send the wrong password to the router. Don't try to fix it. Just delete the entry and start over. That way if its another problem you'll fix that issue too.

Try this,
Download and cwm/twrp flash the Ktoonz kernel, that usually
fixes most wifi issues which people are having.
Here are the direct download links for the Touchwiz JELLYBEAN 4.3 VERSION:
http://ktoonsez.jonathanjsimon.com/s...11.14.2013.zip
OR if you are using 4.2.2 rom then get the Touchwiz JELLYBEAN 4.2.2 VERSION:
http://ktoonsez.jonathanjsimon.com/s...11.14.2013.zip
Good luck!

I flashed the 4.2.2 and still have the same problem, I just hope it isn't any hardware issues. I guess I'll be backing everything up and reflashing the rom.

Found out every time I install this app I have the issues. So if any of you who had the same issue as me, just don't install this app. If you did already, uninstalling it won't help. Back-up necessary stuff and just reflash rom.
