After the first blissful week of my note 2 working properly, my wifi started a trend where it like to constantly download who knows what (orange arrow constantly blinking), which is a problem many others are having.
I've been scouring these (and others) forums for a while and am about to lose my sanity.
I have read through every thread on the issue and have tried every fix mentioned, nothing works. From what I can see, there are many people who STILL cant get their wifi to stop acting this way.
Any up to date info on this? My resources are exhausted, and I feel like throwing this phone into a wall.
Chances are if it wasn't answered in the places you looked. It will not help by opening a new thread.
Where is the issue in WiFi data icons being on? Sorry don't see how this is a problem.
so many factors...im not sure you can classify this as an issue, and i havent heard any complaints around here...from background sync to push data I mean cmon

My arrows are constantly running to. Unless the phone is off, but it'll still pull from Wi-Fi then also!

You don't provide much info but get https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.onavo.android.onavoid and set it to monitor wifi. Then see what is always polling for data.

I know there are threads for each release but I thought it might be a good idea to list the ones still out there in one place.
These are for the Samsung leaks only, not CM9 or AOKP.
As of FC18:
Exchange contacts/calendar??
That's it?!
As of FC07:
GPS
Cell location (works but eventually craps out. Reboot fixes)
Signal bars
Notification vib+sound
Exchange
Post others I may be forgetting and I will update OP.

That sums it up in a nutshell. The only thing else I can add is better power management and the abilty to use apps like setcpu.

Is it weird I won't permaswitch to ICS until vib+sound is worked out? lmao. That was the killer for me, of all things.
What is wrong with Exchange? I sync to my work exchange server just fine.
I'm not sure if it's just the ROM or ICS but on both AOKP and CM9 I've had it happen that if I'm in a area with very poor signal, it'll go to airplane mode on it's own. The plane doesn't show in the status bar when it happens so I'll have to check it often to make sure it isn't on since the signal bars obviously have their own bug as well.

Exchange is all I need. Could you elaborate on what doesn't work. Also GPS and cell location are important as getting through LA is a constant battle during traffic times.... I drive all around Southern Cal for my job (paid for travel time but if I don't have to sit on a dead freeway, why waste my time).
I can't make the switch until I know these work 100%.

You can GPS to work by flashing back to GB, get lock, then flash back. But it is still a little wonky and doesn't work out of the box so on the list it goes.

FC07 GPS worked out of the box fine for me and many people for the first time. I have a feeling some of the people without GPS didnt do full reset or are on the list of people with hardware defects. Seems to still not be working for other people that have a clue so its hard to say.
FC07 still does have GPS related issues like it wont stop searching for a lock if it begins and you end up in an area that GPS would never work in the first place. So its still valid that there are GPS issues for sure.

+1, i haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary with exchange
Sound notifications, especially sms stops randomly.
A reboot then fixes it.
Strange
From what I've gathered from a variety of threads, the Exchange issue depends on the version of Exchange and relates to the Exchange function that allows it to remotely manage your device.
Those of us on newer versions of Exchange (I'm on 2010) can't sync calendar or contacts on ANY of the Samsung ICS leaks. I have to replace the email and exchange apks with AOSP to get it to work. Otherwise I'm SOL.
So to be clear, there is DEFINITELY an Exchange problem, even if you're not experiencing it. But it's apparently specific to certain setups, and enough of us on this board have that setup that it's a serious problem.
a MAJOR bug that I want fixed is the head phone out.
When using the head phones or the dock mode heaphone output... i CONSTANTLY get a static and beeping.
I can hear the music, but I get static and beeping.
Tried different wires, different head phones, different docks all with the same results.
No quality audio through the head phone port.

Hey guys,
I am enjoying my Sprint variant Galaxy S3 a lot, but after rooting and installing the wifi tether/hotspot app, it works great, but I am having some issues and was wondering if anyone else had the same issue or if someone knew how to resolve this issue.
The issue:
While everything works just fine for a while (I am posting this thread using wifi tether) often times I see the wifi connection has dropped on my laptop and when I check my phone the wifi tether app is no longer running. I have to restart the app and everything is fine. This is getting pretty annoying as it happens very randomly! I haven't had this issue on my Epic 4g Touch at all and was just curious if maybe there was something I was missing or if perhaps others were experiencing this as well. I drop time varies a lot...sometimes I can use the connection undisturbed for 1+ hours, but other times the app closes after 10 minutes and requires a restart...its just more of an annoyance than anything as the program does work every time its restarted, but It would be nice if I could get a solid/stable connection going despite the lackluster 3g speeds.
If anyone knows a fix or could help me out, this would be much appreciated! I did a search and couldn't find any open posts about this :[
Thanks!

Hmm... Ok It disconnects about every 15 minutes or so... I tried changing the profiles to multiple different ones (Nexus CDMA, Galaxy S2, Generic ICS) All with the same result...it disconnects and I have to click the white wifi button to restart the tethering. :/ Happened on stock rooted and I just did a full wipe and installed the Blazer ROM and seems to be the same. Thanks again if anyone has any kind of input.

Hey man...it seems like it holds on to the signal longer and when I uncheck it, it dims the screen but it doesn't fully shut off...it seems to like that and keep the connection. When I manually turn the screen off it will disconnect me again. I hope its not my phone! Its definitely better than before!
Well unfortunately, I always have my phone plugged in when running the app so the screen being on isn't a problem for me.. there are some apps out there ( i can't seem to remember the names right now ) that will try to prevent the app from being killed by android's task manager, i'd look into them... good luck
Is Samsung EVER going to fix Wi-Fi disconnect issue??? My phone goes to sleep, on wake up my wifi will not reconnect until i turn it off/on. That's BS. This issue has been ever since ICS update came out.

Have you even bothered to troubleshoot your own issue? Obviously since wifi works fine for almost everyone including me it's something with your setup. What do you have your wifi sleep mode set to? Try changing your frequency mode to just 2.4. Have you tried any different networks?

It's a known bug to some. I had a thread about this issue I believe. It had left for a few builds and then reappeared to some on the FI25 build. At one point we narrowed it down to a certain routers but no real evidence. It doesn't matter what your settings are in, even if you keep your settings on "keep awake always". The WiFi just stays as if connected but really isn't. It'll show greyed out bars or not active. I gave up and ignore it.
Laughing at some of you comments here. YES, I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING. Different routers, all kinds of wifi settings, even used a root explorer to change some wifi settings. Still issues. I am ignoring it now and was hoping for a fix and it's pissing me off. Looks like it may be a hardware issue on some phones

What exactly should I be looking for in my router settings? Btw, wifi still disconnects on Parandroid JB...wtf. Everything worked fine on GB.
I still have the issue where wifi just sucks down my battery worse than 3G when it idles, but the phone gets plenty of deep sleep. It's happened across roms, fresh wipes and only on ICS and never on any gingerbread setups I've used. I've tried 3 different routers, on different frequencies. I've spent countless hours combing through battery and cpu monitors. My final verdict is that ICS was for the most part a total **** show for this phone, and it's only usable because of the selfless devs who devote their free time to tweaks and builds that get the best they can out of it.
Sorry op, but in my anecdotal example, there is no answer for particular wifi problems on ICS with this phone.

I just sure hope that the official JB rom for this phone will fix my wifi issues. It's weird, but some users have no issues with wifi and some do. I wonder if hardware is different.

What channel and encryption type are you using (for your main connection)? Also what brands of routers have you tried it on. I don't think it is you, but I am just curious.
I use to use Linksys routers, but the last 2 I had were turds different models, and sent them in for RMA to verify the unit wasn't just a bad unit, now I won't use ANY Cisco product unless I have to (after the routers overheating in the middle of winter in my basement with proper ventilation and sending them back a few times, and their new 'secure' firmware that only allows you to connect via their website back into my local router).
lol don't listen to these people telling you to check the router settings...
It is a bug in ICS (most roms i have tried), i suggest downloading an app called Wi-fi keep alive.

hey mate.
same problem here in Italy with TIM operator.
They said me that is a problem of cell location as the problem occours only when I am in some location in my city and not, for example, in my work city (Milan)
Furthermore, I have not experienced this problem with other operators which I tried so in my case it's absolutely a provider problem! Have you tried another sim card?
(I'll descrive my problem as you can say we are talking about the same: when I'm connected (and only when I am!) I see the icon H/3G in the top right of the device. In few minutes this icon disapppears and for 1-2minutes I'm not able to use data connection, even if the data is still active of course!After this short period the icon appears again and so on and on!).

I would like to know if I can have WiFi and Mobile Data on at the same time. I do not get MMS messages til I get off WiFi and also I can't get on my T-Mobile App to check minutes and data.

Hmm... to be fair sometimes a lack of response is more a lack of confidence in any particular response that might be given. At times repercussions get ...awkward... for saying things that others might find ill informed, and as such a tendency to not say anything unless rather certain on the answer develops.
Anyhoo - I hadn't noticed the fact that the mobile network state listed itself as disconnected when connected to wifi... but ultimately (opens self up to possibly saying something stupid...) I can think of no good reason certain functions of the phone (at least mms or the tmobile app) would depend on mobile data being connected while wifi disconnected. Doing a quick test on my end - both of these functions seem to be behaving as expected while on wifi (tested with wifi calling NOT on, not sure that would throw a wrench in anything but you never know) - does the issue exist across wifi sources? That sort of thing might be something to bring up to a TMo service rep - not sure they will be of any help but given the response you've had here it couldn't be much worse, right?

I was able to, but perhaps it was just a trick of app cache as opposed to it actually working... strange they require data, you'd think if it was that much of a need they'd force it to engage and wake up the low power state instead of forcing you to turn off wifi. Ah well, learn something new everyday Sorry I wasn't more help
