Hi all,
I rooted my Galaxy Note 2 N7100 yesterday, which is running 4.3 stock Samsung ROM.
I followed this guide (Philz touch, Multitool to de-knox, cf autoroot)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642480
My issue is that the wifi connects okay, but will only work for a couple of minutes before 'hanging'. For example, I can load websites for a few minutes, then it will just be stuck with the loading bar about 1/4 complete and do nothing. There are no errors like 'obtaining IP address' or anything, still says 'connected'.
Turning wifi off and on seems to cure the problem for a few minutes again, so does the app 'Wifi connection fixer', again for a few minutes.
I have tried several different wifi networks with the same issue.
My battery drain seems to be worse as well, could it be a modem issue? I was under the impression that root wouldn't change modem or anything like that?
Edit: I also flashed Dr Ketan wifi patch and this didn't seem to work either.
Edit 2: Oh no, mobile data isnt working at all now! What is going on?
Edit 3: Mobile data back working intermittently but very very slow.
Edit 4: Mobile data very intermittent. Working sometimes and not most of the time. Was fine before root. Something strange is happening.
Device details:
GT-N7100
4.3
Baseband N7100XXUENA3
Kernel 3.0.31-2437454 [email protected] #1
Any help appreciated.
Cheers, Stu.
It seems that the wifi and mobile data are following the same pattern.
Resetting them / turning them on and off seems to make them work temporarily and then they hang again.
Any ideas?
Getting desperate here, didn't think root would cause these issues, I thought only changing the ROM / kernel would cause this.

Ok so a couple of days ago I installed a 4.0 ready radio on my galaxy s2 and then went on to install Jedi Knight 6 ROM (4.0.4 and radio is UVMC6) and after installation everything was working fine.. I was messing around for a while.. it worked today, I shut my phone off to charge it up real quick, and when I turned it back on my WiFi would not connect. Well not necessarly connect.. it just wont even turn on. When I go into settings and click WiFi, it just sits there saying, Turning WiFi on, and never changes.. I can't seem to imagine what could have happened to it, and I really dont wanna have to reinstall the ROM again because i just spent hours getting this one all set up to my liking...
Anyone got any ideas?
EDIT: BTW, I have tried many things.. Tried airplane mode to disable everything then turn it back on, obviously tried rebooting the phone, i have tried wiping cache in CWM recovery and also tried fix permissions in recovery (another topic said to try those..)
Nothing has worked so far, i'm about to try reflashing my radio, see if that works.. but I really really dont want to have to reflash my whole ROM.. So if anyone has any other ideas please help, i'll edit if the radio works..
EDIT 2: Reflashing the radio did nothing.. it's really wierd, the data, bt, gps.. all of it works fine, it's just the WiFi that's frozen turning on... cant get it to stop turning on and can't get it to actually turn on..
EDIT Final: Ok well, i guess nobody knows what might have been going on.. so I just wound up reflashing my ROM, which obviously fixed it.. i just had to lose all that time spent setting everything up... But oh well.. Kinda sucks nobody even tried to help..

+1 I'm going through the same thing now
I have been having this same issue as well. It started out as stock happening sporadically. One thread suggested rooting and removing my account. Problem still occurring. Tried flashing multiple ROMs and now WiFi hasn't connected at all always stuck at turning on. I have tried clear cache, fix permissions, as well as reinstalling ROM dirty and with factory reset. I'm hoping this isn't hardware failure because I just bought this phone used but it seems to be a reoccurring problem with others as well. Any NEW suggestions not given from quick Google/xda search?

I'd suggest to check your Wireless Access Point (modem or router) wireless settings for security, check and see if it's set to use WPA/WPA2, which is common on some modems/routers, change it to either WPA or WPA2 (preferred) not both, it's a known issue with WiFi networks and having it set to using both, I had the same problem before with my phone connecting to my WiFi.
Also if you use MAC Address Filtering on the modem/router, you should disable/clear that and let phone re-connect before enabling mac filtering again.

The problem I am having is not that it won't connect to a particular network. Wifi will not initialize on the device at all and is stuck in "Turning On..." state. I found more and more posts where people ended up having to send in to Samsung so I spoke with them and even though I purchased the phone used its thankfully still under warranty and they will be replacing it. The did not confirm whether or not it was a true known device issue but were quick to file the exchange for me.
sigh, me too!
Just started having this problem on 4.3.1
great.
In my case, I had to wipe system and data before reinstalling my ROM.
Though the only reason it was happening to me was because Beanstalk 4.4.2 didn't want to get past the splash screen when I tried to install it so I downgraded back to ICS 4.0.4 without wiping. Good luck getting this issue fixed. Also another kernel might fix thingz for you if your current one does not like your device.
I have a similar problem. After a while, WiFi gets disconnected. If I go in settings - wifi, i get the message "unfortunately, settings has stopped" and I can't get WiFi to work again until I reboot the phone. The Wifi works again for a couple of minutes then stops.
I have flashed various different ROM (CM11, PA) but keeps getting the exact same behavior.
I've rebooted in safe mode and I don't get the problem now.
Hello,
I have an issue that my data connection (internet) keeps disconnecting randomly and I either have to switch it off and on again, or turn airplane mode on and then off, or even restart the phone to get the data connection working again.
Is this normal for this rom? is there some fix for this? For a first few weeks everything was fine, but now it is intolerable.
I had this issue on stock rom too, but only a few times, when I completly lost signal, I had to restart the phone.
Help! i don't want to flash the rom again and start from scratch again
Thank you in advance!:laugh:
No one can help? Anybody facing the same issue?
Sent from my GT-I9195 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hi, I seem to have the same issue. I deleted the other unused apns and now it seems to be better, but I just did this now, so in not too sure myself yet. Any help would be appreciated.
// didn't help
SOLUTION
hey there,
i think i found the solution, you need to install a KK modem (i assume you have a KK rom)

I'm on stock, rooted odex. I believe the issue happened after I rooted. On boot, it forgets all previously connected WiFi networks. The only mods I've flashed was the 4-way boot (which didn't work since I have CWM and not TWRP). I've tried deleting the dhcp files in the dhcp folder and the wpa files in the etc/wifi folder. Neither worked.
Anyone else having this issue?
Edit: Factory wipe didn't rectify the issue. Guess I'll ODIN back to stock. Hopefully this is a hardware issue.
Strange.....mine works fine, rebooted numerous times.

Figured out the issue. I mistakenly flashed the T800 autoroot instead of the T700 autoroot.
Hi
I am stepping in on this thread, because I encounter this issue.
I just rooted by Galaxy Tab S 8.4 (LTE) - T705 and I followed this site http://theunlockr.com/2014/08/09/how-to-root-the-samsung-galaxy-tab-s-8-4-lte/, used as instructed CF_AutoRoot_Port_T700_BeansTown106.tar with Odin3 v1.85 .
- when rebooted the wifi forgets the password, (as long as you dont reboot the wifi is okay, and i can connect to other network and connect back to the original wifi.)
Do anybody knows how to fix this issue?

I think you have to change some sort of file to something to make it remeber it. I cant remeber what the fix was but it was somewhere in the cfautoroot fourm.

HI,
Consider also using Skyhigh Kernel, it fixes your issue.

My nonrooted Tab S forgets WiFi on reboot and when I switch WiFi off and then on.
I found that this probably is a KitKat bug (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2685519)
If you are rooted then this is what fixed it for me.

Unfortunately I have no root, so I flashed the newest firmware (T705XXU1ANH1 – XEH from France) and it fixed Wi-Fi
So, I using mine tab with and 6 on the latest image from Brazil.
It is rooted and with TWRP.
It doesn't save wifi networks. If I turn wifi on and of it looses everything.
Just to be clear, it had this problem before I installed TWRP. It took me quite some time to notice the problem so I don't know if it is related with the root method.
I even flashed a custom kernel, but still no luck.
Does any one know of a solution for this issue on Android 6? Stok?
Thanks

try to flash a diffedent rom. i personally never had this issue but maybe a new rom may help.
I am having issues with turning on WIFI in my Rooted Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100.
Background: After facing various slow down and WiFi drop issues with my Stock 4.3 ROM decided to Root and install custom ROM. Rooted and Installed C-ROM 7.1 on device. Everything was working fine initially but after few days WIFI signals just drop and after that it just wont start. Again flashed and installed DN3 V5.2 LIte ROM,
Problem: Still WIFI wont start, it starts sometime after reboot but keeps scanning and can not detect any WiFi signal and after few minutes it wont start at all.
Solution Tried:
1. Tried Dr. Ketan WIFI Fix multiple times, still no solution
2. Can not downgrade Bootloader to MJ5 because its already on ND3.
3. Tried multiple modems (ND1, ND2 and ND3), no help, getting strong 3G signal but WiFi just wont start.
Current Phone Config:
Device: Samsung Galaxy Note || GT-N7100
Android: 4.4.2
Boot Loader Version: N7100XXUFND3
Kernel: Linux
Kernel Version: 3.0.31DN3
I am not an expert, so please pardon if my question is not clear. Any help will be appreciated. I am OK if i have to unroot or complete wipe my device.
Hardware Problem!?
Looks like something is wired with phone WiFi hardware. After flashing ND2 modem WiFi actually started to work, but stays connected only when signal strength is very high, as soon as signal goes low it drops the connection and never connects again until and unless I reboot the device or go to Airplane mode and come back.
Any suggestion in this regard is welcome otherwise I have accepted this problem as Hardware problem rather then software problem and going to live with it till the time get some good deal for the device.
Exact same problem. but no solution so far.

Just an update, I've followed some comments below the video and now my wifi works like a charm.
It seems that the note II housing was the cause, hope it might help you too.
