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.

I don't know if roms have anything to do with this or not but recently my Pandora has started sucking. I am on fresh 3.2 and everytime I play a song it stops half way through and goes to the next song. Is this a known problem? Is there anyway to fix it? Thanks

I haven't experienced that nor have heard of anyone else. The Pandora issue I know of is the interference from the Stagefright code with Froyo. Do search on disabling Stagefright and see if that helps.

Are u using wifi when listening to pandora when this happens. It was happening to me on wifi only. 3g was fine. I reset my router by unplugging it and plugging it back in. The problem lies by either the data connection getting intrruptted or from flash.

ive had it happen to me once or twice. didnt think much of it.
I have been using wifi tether and the built in tethering option on CM. On both my 3g will randomly drop in and out. Also, when tethering two computers the connection is almost unusable.
Is there something that I am missing or something that I need to change?
Thanks and I apologize if this has been answered. I tried searching without luck.

The only time that has happened to me, is when my screen went to sleep, because I had my m obile data unchecked. I have to force the screen to stay on during tethering. I used to have the tethering drop off as well, not the 3g. that was solved by changing the channel to 1. Never had a failed connection since then. Other than that, I would be rendered clueless.
Yeah keeping the screen on seems to help but I still can't figure out why the 3g shuts on and off. It is really strange.

This used to happen to me. I used it to play cod and I got a connection interrupted every 2 mins or so. Then i found wireless tether

my GS3 was working flawlessly for more than a month, and i use it as GPS everyday, to and from work. I use waze.
anyway i dont know what went wrong, today when i was driving, it started disconnecting every couple of minutes, in waze, in google maps...
i have GPS monitor app installed which shows in notification bar how satellites its connected to, so i could see it going to zero and back to 13-15 which is usually the case...
i have not installed any new app which should affect GPS, the only thing i installed and then uninstalled was "Apartment guide" app.
is anybody else having this issue? what can i do apart from reflash OS? by the way i am on wanamlite ROM.
thank you.
Never had this problem before. I would use faster gps app to resolve your problem. It sounds like the app is crashing because of incompatibility

kitkit201, thanks for your reply, but i am having this issue even with google maps, i dont think its incompatibility...and the app itself is not crashing, but only GPS disconnects...and then reconnects...

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 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.
