hi, I'm having an issue in my wifi of my z5.. well during the activation screen i do all the "skip" but then the step to choose a network i click on just wifi, and it says "wifi turning on" takes forever and it doesnt detect any network, and when i click on skip, it looks gray and unclickable, so I can't click next and start using my phone.

Guys I am going away with work for four months somewhere which will cost me fortune to use my phone. That said I want to take it with me use it as a tablet of sorts as I have access to wifi.
I know I can turn off mobile data, but can I disable the GSM modem too. Basically I want airplane mode but with wifi enabled. That way there is no chance of any costs been incurred.
Thanks
Don't know if it works for you, but I just tested like this:
- Go to Settings/Wireless & Networks/Mobile networks/Network operators
- Just select an operator different from the sim card you have
Wifi should still work.
I use a free app from market called airplane settings that allows you to select which radios to keep active when turning on airplane mode. It works with latest Runny v4 so should work for you.

Never thought to try that as figured airplane mode would have killed the wifi entirely. It seems to work so thanks!
What about just removing the SIM Card?

Would perfer to keep it in, there is the availability to use my phone where I am going, just is very expensive, if need be I can then just turn it back on and make a quick call/send a text. Just dont want it standby all the time with the ability to cost me a fortune to recieve calls!

I must than be doing something wrong here. The moment I go into Airplane mode, my WiFi gets turned off and won't turn on untill I disable airplane mode. So what's the catch here.

What you want is very easy just go to setting> wireless. And then take the mark away by data connection.
And if you want airplane mode with wifi enabled that's easy to: First put airplane mode on and after that switch wifi back on.
Yep, switch to Airplane-Mode and turn on Wifi.
I did that some weeks ago when I went to Israel and gonna do it again when i'll be in England this weekend.
Works like a charme

Remember to turn off your voicemail (you may have to talk to your provider), or youll be paying international rates for any calls you miss.

Yes indeed or else you will be charged if people speak into your voicemail. Well I already disabled it for a long time, I don't see the use off voicemail, people can better send an e-mail or text message.

Are you guys running stock ROM's or costom ones.
I tested it yesterday several times, but when I go into Airplane mode, I can enable WiFi but it does not connect to known AccessPoints.
Also does not give me a list of found AccessPoints.
[edit]
Just because I wouldn't instantly disbelieve you guyes I tried it one more time, and a miracle happend.
It connected to the WiFi access point on Airplane mode.
So what you were saying is the correct way
Had forgotten about the voicemail part, thankfully I can phone it myself before i leave and disable it from the options menu so thats easy enough. Will just place a new message on it from me saying I am away and to contact me by email.
Thanks for the help though, I knew you guys would have a solution to this!
*#*#4636#*#*
1. Put *#*#4636#*#* into the Dialer (or use any application available on the Market like 4636 — takes you to the same service screen)
2. Choose Phone Information
3. Press Turn off radio
Thanks

Turning ON Airplane and Switching ON WiFi works like a charm.
Thanks..
I know its old thread but good for googlers. Airplane mode will not disable internal modem as you can still see its active under battery details straight red bar = weak or searching for signal. Its draining battery and its still able send/receive data. I read about flashing a script to completely turn it off and cut its power but it shows pie security error in terminal -.- I deleted dialer&related stuff from phone as its only used with VoiP so I can't access service menu. Do you still get red line in battery details and does the modem stays off after a reboot? Some devices you can actually physically remove the modem.

check your modem settings, sometimes its not set to "Always on", so it will disconnect after sometime
check it at 192.168.1.1

hmm, try to reconnect your phone to the wifi every since, or you might need to reset the modem settings (not needed but just in case)
same problem.. -_-
Hey All, there are a lot of threads and various internet discussions for various SIII wifi problems, but I have yet to find anything that addresses my current issue:
My phone detects wifi networks that it has not connected to before, but once I have successfully connected to a wifi network and subsequently lost that connection, I can never see that wifi network again. I have tried it with a couple different networks, including a wifi hotspot created by my iphone, and it always happens. My wifi will still show networks that I have not connected to.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The phone is not rooted and is using the stock Rogers firmware.
Thanks!

has this always been happening or did this come about after your last OTA firmware update?

This hasn't always been happening... I have had the phone for a few weeks now and it started after I arrived at my company apartment in Spain last week.

if so try clear data/cache for wifi and see if it works again

your S3 might have wifi power save on
try this
1. Open up the Galaxy*S3*phone dialer
2. Dial *#0011# to enter service mode
3. Press the menu button and select “WiFi”
4. You should see that the “WiFi Power Save Mode” button is “ON”
5. Press it to turn power save “OFF”

if it doesn't work, try factory reset (also wipe cache and data)

My guess: The router is the problem. Or the router's settings. Not your phone itself.
You can test your Wifi by either connecting to another router or to someone's wifi tethering.

I get this problem on various devices occasionally. Sometimes it helps when I remove the network from memory and reconnect to it.
Ie. Click "Forget this network" and then rejoin it. Doesn't always help though.
You can unplug the router for few seconds then plug it back in to see if that works.

Hi all,
I searched the forum as well as Google and I was unable to find an answer to my question.
Regardless of how I disable WiFi,via the notification panel or in settings, it will turn itself back on and attempt to connect to various WiFi networks. Yes, I know if I use WiFi I'll save some data but this is mostly happening while I'm at work and the network it attempts to connect to is in the next building.
The only "solution" I have found is airplane mode.. Not really a solution as I want to continue to receive texts. Any suggestions?

open settings then click on wifi "where it says tap to configure". uncheck "notify me". then click the menu button and choose "advanced". make sure "wifi notifications", and "auto network switch are disabled. then switch "kepp wifi on during sleep" to "never". that should do the trick.

You need to setup network rating provider to Google .
You find it in wifi preferences.
