I Can't find a thread about this, so I was go ogling and that doesn't really help. I am having major problems with my wifi it keeps dropping non stop and it's really annoying. I have my phone stock but rooted and was wondering is there any way to fix this? I know it's a Samsung problem but if I were to load this up with a rom should that help? Thanks in advance

Maybe it's your router or better yet the router settings. Have you tried changing any of those settings?
Am I missing something? How is it a Samsung thing? What kind of router do you have?

After looking all night I found a thread that fixed this. You have two choices really to fix or buy your router which I'm not going to do, or you can type in on your dial pad *#0011#. Then you click your menu button, click on the wifi option, and then disable the energy saver wifi mode. That made it so my phone wouldn't drop wifi connection anymore. NOTE: each time you restart your phone you need to turn the wifi energy saver off through the command *#0011#. Hope I helped some of you because this bug is truly annoying.

That stinks. I don't have any problem and I think this is only the 2nd time I've seen anything posted like this about the S4 (the S3 did have that issue and was common). I've never turned off any energy saver and mine stays connected 100% of the time. So you're saying either that or you have to buy a new router? What kind do you have now and what settings on it did you find out that cause this issue for you?
Right now I have whatever Verizon gives fios customers. It works perfectly for all my phones, tablets, and computer. Just not on my s4 unless I do the dial pad trick. I'll post a link on the xda thread when I get home on how to fix your router. It really does make me angry that I paid 600 for the phone and it does this. Hopefully Samsung fixes this soon since they acknowledge the problem

Do you have a dlink router?
GS4
My gf has an S4 and has the same problem. We have a Netgear WNDR3500. So it's not isolated to a D-Link. She also did the dial pad trick and it seems to work for her as well. Need to find a script to run on boot to set the power save to OFF.

Tried looking for the answer on the forums but couldn't find an answer. I got the wifi bug where your wifi turns on randomly throughout the day. Does anyone know if a fix or if Samsung is in the process of making an OTA fix?

Go to system settings>> wireless and networks >>more settings>> mobile networks>>uncheck automatic connections
Sprint versions have this option to disable it.
Has anyone noticed on certain networks that wifi is continuously downloading(incoming arrow always lit)... i wonder if it has to do with the auto connection thing? Doesnt seem to be affecting batt life but its kind of annoying... at my house it does it but not at work... maybe a router issue?

Got my sgs3 Sunday and when I got home turned on WiFi and started playing with it I notice that I lose network for a second after about 15 mins and my WiFi icon on the status bar disappear but network comes back on .. but in settings it is greyed out and I can't turn it off then back on till I reboot 0_o...thought maybe after I rooted and flash AOKP it would be fixed but no! I'm on T-Mobile and AOKP..so is it a bad WiFi driver or...? Any ideas?
#*0011# press the menu key. Select wifi. uncheck wifi power saver mode. Its should be green when on black off. Make sure its not on and done go back to home screen. Your phone should reboot the wifi driver and your done.
This method works for 4.0.4 any of the roms. Cm10 doesn't work. Cm9 haven't tried but I'm sure it'll work for u.
Hit the thanks if I've helped!

JB has these wifi issues I was expiriencing the same problems on cm10 as well. (I know not the same but both are jb) I decided to downgrade to the intrigue rom r3. It has smooth transitions. Real buttery and it let me access the wifi power saver mode by down ng the method above. I'll look into aokp and see if I can find a fix for u.

For anyone who has already turned off WiFi PSM, is anyone experiencing this setting turning itself back on? I have turned it off twice today and every so often it turns back on which ends up turning my WiFi back off...

Question: are you rebooting your phone when this happens?
Cuz if you are that's normal on every reboot you have to go back and turn it off again.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
I was not rebooting the phone. I am currently trying a different rom to see if that solves anything.
Weird

Well it still keeps happening. I switched from intrigue rom to freegs3. I'm currently using the phone at work and it happened right before my eyes while using Tapatalk... I had to turn off power saver mode yet again
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
would the method above work for me? since yesterday, my wifi kept turning on by itself. After I turned the wifi off for like a couple minutes then it'll turn on automatically again. I have the Keep Wifi on during sleep set as "only when plugged in" and it never happen to be before until yesterday. My power saving in the setting menu has always been off too. Please help! :crying::crying:
Install the app called "Wifi Fixer" app to the solve the issue.
Whatever Google did to cause a variety of wakelock problems, having a strong wifi signal seems to solve them. Apparently, wakelocks occur when there are unreliable connections to Google's servers.

So, here is the situation with my Samsung Galaxy S2. Every now and then, when the phone is left idle and I try to browse to use the Internet after a while, the speeds are unusable.
So, I run one of those network refresh apps every now and then (which basically puts the phone into airplane mode and back) and that always solves the problem.
My question is whether anyone knows an app that can do this automatically, say once every hour.
Now, this is an issue that I had with my phone ever since I installed ICS on it and none of the different ROMs had helped and neither did flashing different radios.
So, if anyone knows an app like this or has a similar problem with their phone, all help is much appreciated.
Should be a way to do this in either Llama, which is free, or Tasked, which is a paid app.

First off, a thousand apologies if there is already a post or thread regarding my issue. I could not find it.
After using ROM toolbox pro to uninstall sprint connections optimiser my WiFi still turns on pretty frequently by itself. Is there some other app I need to freeze or uninstall to keep this from happening?
I've looked in WiFi settings for an option to disable "notify me when networks are available" but couldn't find that.

You know, I forgot I uninstalled Connections Optimizer and my WiFi still turns on. I have yet to figure out what is causing it. But it is a pain in the arse to constantly turn it off. Let me do some research..
EDIT: Are you on JB or ICS?

And I spoke too soon. With WiFi turned on I see an option for network notification. I set it to do not notify me of networks. We will see if that helps.

I was about to post a question regarding this. Good to know I wasn't the only one having this issue. I just got my Optimus G and couldn't figure out why my WiFi would randomly turn on. I changed the network notification setting and will test that out.
Oh btw, I'm running completely stock and not rooted Android 4.1.2
Edit: didn't work... Almost seems like when I get a multimedia message my wifi turns on
Yep seems like when I get a new picture message my wifi turns on... Anyone have this issue?\
Edit: Ok read about how to disable the sprint connection optimizer. unchecked the box and let's see if that helps.
Edit 2: that did it... Thanks!
After the 4.3 update, my AT&T i747 has had extremely slow and unreliable wifi, no matter where. If someone could help me, or point me in the right direction to how to fix this, i would be grateful. Thanks in advance!!

Welcome to android 4.3 LOL. Here's a fix for most of us, from the phone dialer dial *#0011# It brings up a hidden menu. Turn off "WIFI POWER SAVE MODE" then a reboot.
I cant seem to figure it out. The wifi power save stays on when I reboot, unless im doing something wrong
EDIT: I found out the setting doesn't hold after reboot, bit that doesn't explain the slow speed when wifi power saver is off
