I have done a lot of searching before posting this however I am still unable to not only auto connect to known WiFi networks, my galaxy s3 is not remembering passwords for known networks. This is happening on any WiFi network I connect to. It seems to me that the galaxy is not remembering any networks. I have not connection issue. Am able to use the network / internet after connecting just have to input password every time. Any help on this is appreciated.
This is a phone issue not router.
Every network I connect to happens the same way.

It's not a phone issue, it's a ROM/settings issue.
Any insight as to which or how to fix? Happens on stock and cm nightly.

I had the same issue you are having a while back and found out that some wireless routers do
not work exactly normally when the phone tries to connect with it without first asking for password
each and every time.
The way I fixed my problem was instead of typing in passwords, I used the WPS push-button on the wireless router
to establish the secure connection, since then I never had any problems.
Good Luck!
Thanks, I do have wps router so will try and see what happens.

i just bought the galaxy note 2.. love the phone' however i cant stay connected to my wifi for some reason it connects them a minute later goes back into 4g mode please help...
I thought it was the phone so replaced it... same issue how ever it will connect to att hotspots.. go figure thanks
I'd say check your router first. Mine at home is a pain sometimes with my sons' ipod touches plus desktop plus netbook plus tablet plus my phone sometimes it drops. We end up turning it off for a few seconds which fixes it. Overload I guess?
There is also a known issue with the att wifi app. I forget what is called because i got rid of it a long time ago but it seems to be a culprit in some cases a well. You could find it if you search the forums I'm sure.

Had a similar issue... dropping of wifi radio... the workaround when using the ATT wifi manager was to go into the phone's wifi menu and disable power saving... *#0011# select menu... then wifi submenu.
Or.. just freeze or remove the ATT wifi app and use Smart WiFi Toggler from Google Market... works well!

Disable att smart wifi. That works for me.
Definitely a router issue. I use WPA2 PSK with DHCP and I haven't had any issues. I have had problems in the past using WEP with my phones. Once I changed to WPA it was fine. Maybe try that.

Thank you, this worked, I think removing the latest update for AT&T smartwifi did it for me, whatever I now have wifi again.
I'll take a look at Smart Wifi Toggler
Anyone else with this rom had any issues with reconnection to wifi after restart? When i restart my phone, the wifi is turned on, but it doesn't connect till i go in and tell it to connect to my home wifi. It shows that its still a saved connection too. I experimented a little and noticed its only on the 5g band and that the 2.4g band seems to work fine.

It has been mentioned multiple times: there is a known issue with 4.2.1 based ROMs reconnecting automatically to 5Ghz bands. All of them.

Ahh, thanks for that. I tried searching and all i could find was issues obtaining ip addresses.

Do you mean 4.1.2? Because this isn't 4.2.1.
For the OP - I haven't had any issues connecting to the WiFi on CleanRom 3.5. Just did a reboot for the heck of it and it obtained an IP right away and worked flawlessly.

are you using a 5g wifi band or 2.4g?
I have the same issue on all 4.1.2 roms I've tried including stock and clean rom.
What router are you using? I have an Asus rt-n66u with custom firmware.

Static ip won't help, yes you can connect to wifi, but cannot get connection to internet. This is a bug of android, and ITs in Princeton univ. had some investigation. It's due to renew and release of address. 4.2 should have fixed it

Yes, of course. Fat fingered that. 4.1.2 has the issue.

I leave my WiFi on at all times. I only have WiFi access at home, so when I'm at work I leave it on but am not connected to anything except the cell network. My typical day is about 10 hours at the office. When I get home, occasionally I will reconnect to my own WiFi but most days it will show my network as available and that my password is saved, but I have to toggle WiFi on and then back on before it will auto correct. Trying to manually connect from the network list doesn't connect either until toggled off and on.
Over the weekend, I can leave for several hours and reconnect without any issue. Seems to be something with the extended time away during the workday that causes the issue. Is anyone else experiencing similar or have suggestions on how to fix this issue?

Just toggling the WiFi off and on seems to resolve it, so it's not an overly huge issue. Just would be nice if I didn't need to toggle at all and it would auto connect as my previous phones had done.
As the title says wifi basically randomly disconnects and reconnects quite frequently(~every 5 sec) only while using the youtube app. At one point i got it to stay connected but the problem returns. The moment i exit the app it returns to normal. Its only been a few days since i purchased it. Is anyone experiencing this? Also it happened once in the play store app but hasnt repeated itself.

Also I should mention that sometimes it fails to reconnect after disconnecting and under the WiFi options menu it says authentication error occurred

I am having the exact same problem. The Google play store gives me connection issues as well. I've tried connection to my router's two networks, the 2.4 the and the 5ghz. My tablet has trouble starting connected to withe one,and it's the only device in my home with that issue.
The problem seems to have resolved itself after a few days and a lot of reboots. Im not sure exactly what was causing it. Hope it works out for you. I know the frustration.

Has anyone else having issues with the wifi disconnecting? It says failed to obtain ip address. Now I have 5 other samsung devices hooked up to the wifi all with no issues. This t325 is the only one. It's driving me nuts. Is there anything I can do to stop this? If I have my mobile data turned on it just shuts off the wifi and will connect to it and says the wifi connection was unstable/slow but it's not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did a factory reset and that seemed to fix the issue. Sucks that I had to do it but it sure is much nicer having my wifi staying connected.
