try doing a hard reset , but before you do that back up your stuff, wipe the cache , I assume you have stock recovery ?

Yeah I did reset and many other things such as build prop,turning off some setting of wife scans. I really think nothing will work. So I want to downgrade from 4.4 to 4.3
S4 sgh-m919. If there's a Web for it show me. Thanks.
Its a "feature" that turned into an annoying as hell bug. Theres really know way to get rid of it and no you cant downgrade
Try switching your WiFi band or frequency. How did you update? I never get this unless I really do lose connection
also a solution could be to take your phone to a samsung experience store at best buy because there they have the tools to diagnose and probably fix your issue, you could try at least and see what happens, it's just an idea

somrbody please???
nobody have even a hint???
just give me something to try?!
Put the stock ROM on the phone, do a factory reset. If this doesn't fix your problem then maybe you need to call Samsung as you have a HW issue.

flashed the stock rom still no change the wifi isn't working.
somebady have other ideas????
It sounds like a hardware problem
have you tested other devices on your wifi network .....
If it was just not connecting to your network . That would be fixable. But since even on the stock rom . It will not even turn on
Deffinately a hardware problem. Take it back to the store you bought it from.

Hey guys,
I got this Samsung Galaxy SIII about a month ago and I don't think I have yet to get a gps lock with this phone. Unfortunately, I didn't try it until after rooting and installing a few different roms.
I unrooted and flashed a stock (bell) rom, factory reset, erase cache, etc. and I still do not know what's wrong with it.
Everything is checked in the "Locations" menu in settings...
I've tried Fasterfix, resetting AGPS from GPS status and GPS test; no dice.
Google navigation just stays in the "searching for your location" screen and it never finds my location.
I've even stayed outside with a clear view of the sky with WIFI and LTE and still couldn't lock on.
I also don't see a GPS icon when it's supposedly in use (my old HTC Desire had this).
I'm kind of speculating whether this is a hardware problem or the GPS somehow got disabled.
I searched and found out there are "secret" codes for the Galaxy SIII, including a GPS menu but it doesn't work with our model, unfortunately.
I'm kind of running out of ideas and trying to avoid sending the phone in. Any help would be great
--------------------------------------------EDIT!!!!!! FIX!!!!------------------------------------
I fixed it!! Special thanks to frelnik for his advice.
After un-rooting and flashing my original firmware/rom I still didn't get my GPS (no icon in status bar).
I rooted again: still no gps notification.
BUT
I flashed graffixnyc's Sprint based rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956463
I immediately checked my GPS through Google's navigation and the GPS showed up again in the status bar. It eventually found my location!!
I nandroid back to my rooted stock rom and it remained! I can now lock on to 11 satellites from the basement of my home!
Special thanks to both graffixnyc and frelnik!

Did you at any point install a Sprint-based ROM?
If it doesn't work after the steps outline above (I had the same problem, and unfortunately that wasn't enough to fix mine), then flash back the Spring ROM you last used and see if the GPS is working. If it is, then use CWM to restore a stock Nandroid backup from before the problems started. That cleared it up for me, and now my GPS is working in all ROMs once again.
Michael
Yeah I have installed a Sprint-based rom.
Unfortunately I have already odin'd to the stock Bell version and factory reset'd, still doesn't work.
Because of that, I don't really have a nandroid anymore, it got deleted.
I'm gonna try rooting and flashing the Sprint one again (it was the one that was released just this month and ported to our version) and see how that works.

I can confirm that 1) Odin back to stock, 2) factory reset from phone's sytem settings will get gps back. I Odin'd back to stock rooted image and did the reset. Now running latest Ariel with gps lock within 5-10 seconds. I had run some of the sprint based roms and didn't even notice it was gone until I was on Serenity. Reflashing ATT rom wouldn't fix. I would assume you could get back to stock/working gps, then restore your backup (assuming not sprint based)
Guys I fixed it! Check OP!

I flashed Sonic 4.1.1 right after I got this phone (in November), and it worked awesome until last week when I tried to flash 4.2 on it.. I lost 4g and now it mostly stays on Edge.. Any ideas...? I did all the fixes I could find on XDA, I flashed back to factory,, Factory reset it, and everything I could think of... I'm stumped and my phone is slow..
Look at this thread. It may help. You will need to be on a Tw ROM.

Try going back to stock and start all over or flash your current modem/Baseband and see what happens

Choose all lte first then automatic. Since your stuck on edge select all wcdma too. Just select automatic as the last thing you do before exiting that menu.
Got It!
Great directions guys! it's working now.. Whew, I missed my 4g...
Well, you all helped me figure out how to get 4g, Now how do I get it to stay connected.. It will only stay connected for a few mins now, then it goes to E.. I can get 4 g at will now, but it won't stay connected...

Hello I Updated to Kit Kat 4.4.2 about a month ago & everything has been working fine. but recently my network has been dropping & emails, Facebook etc taking ages to load & I have to either try & switch on/off flight mode to reset network or find new network to get connection.
Do i need a new modem or is it just EE being a **** Network again
My rom is the stock Nordic n7105xxufnd3.
Can I get another modem for this to load through odin or do i need to revert back to 4.3 rom to get better network connection.
thank you to anyone who helps.
Do you have a custom recovery? If so nandroid (backup everything) and factory wipe. If not, it's worth trying anyway just less convenient without root or cus. recovery.
Basically there is little reason why your connection should get worse expect hardware failure or network problems, this could could be as simple as a bad contact with the sim, but it's worth ruling out software issues first as they're normally fairly simple (and free). It's also worth trying a different network if you can. It'll help if we can start ruling more things out.

Did you ever get your signal to stop switching on EE mate? The same thing is happening to me and its a pain in the arse. I'm considering changing the modem but I don't know which one would be good for EE.
Ok so I just Odin'd T889UVUCMK7_T889TMBCMK7_TMB because I was having major WiFi issues with just enabling WiFi.
I tried many patches and many "fixes" none worked so I said ok well let me just go ahead and go to 4.3 MK7.
Well still the same thing, cannot enable WiFi, it acts like its going to enable it and then it gets greyed out again.
Please any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

No I'm on the stock MK7 rom....the only thing done is that its Rooted, but even before I rooted it still had the same WiFi problem, it will not activate at all. Nor will the bluetooth. Again I did an Odin Flash of it, so in essence thats basically like factory, but still can't get WiFi to work.
I'm at my end with this phone....I love it I've had it for 2yrs, but with no WiFi I'm lost.....because I will drain my 4G Data in no time.....
Thanks

Backup your data and factory reset. If you are on a stock ROM and factory reset doesn't do the trick it is highly probable that the issue is hardware based.
