I have a tmobile galaxy s3 on the monthly 4g plan. I cannot get wifi tethering to work.
I downloaded foxfi and turn hotspot on but my pc can never see the wifi network name so i can never connect to it.
I download wifi tether and set it to galaxy nexus cdma and turn on wifi tether. My pc sees it and i can connect to it. Everything works great..for about 10 mintues and then every site i go to i get redirected to tmobile page to activate and upgrade to tmobile mobile hotspot. I even tried changing my device to auto, galaxy nexus gsm, galaxy s2, but tethering starts with an error and doesnt work at all.
How are you guys getting this to work?
And when foxfi hotspot does showup on my pc i try and connect and enter the password i set but it just gives me an error, and says unable to connect.

There is another companion app to download with Foxfi that is supposed to help it not get detected as hotspot usage. Also free. Works fine on my Verizon SGS3. Maybe you should give it a try if you haven't already. Sounds like TMo knows what you are doing already. As for more bring seen byyour LC, I can't help you there. Shows up fine when referring my tablet

I had the same issue so I called 611. They told me that when I upgraded to S3, they removed the Hotspot feature and so he added it back. I think T-mobile is trying to fool users into buying if they don't know. Call the rep and explain that you had it before the S3 and would like to get it back.
Good luck!

Ah but I can't do that since I actually don't have it. I'm on a monthly 4G prepaid plan so I don't have it and can't even purchase it.

This is pretty strange so I thought I'd check here with people.
I got my new Sprint Note 2 today. When I was at home it connected to my wifi network and worked fine. When I got to work I connected it to our wifi network and the internet won't work. If I turn off wifi internet comes back.
Here's the kicker, I have my old iPhone right next to it connected to the work wifi network and it is connected fine to the internet. This is definitely going through wifi as I no longer have a data plan on that phone.
I checked with our IT admin who said that there is no need to "accept" a device on our wifi network. He also rebooted the network for good measure. After both phones lost the network (from the reboot) and reconnected the same thing happened. No internet from my Note but internet works fine on the iPhone. Restarting my Note doesn't fix the problem.
Any ideas? Thanks.
I have the same problem. Need help too.

Is the wi-fi sleep mode on?
Very odd. I've had no such problem at home,work or university

My network admin created a second wifi network to connect to (I guess our router supported it) and when I connected to the new one I got internet.
If it helps others try and solve the issue he tried pinging the IP address that my phone was using and said that he could only send information but not get anything back.

Try changing your wifi channel config in the router.
Hi, I've got the International version N7100 and experiencing weird wifi problem. I have tried to reset my wifi router and use static IP but it doesn't solve the problem. Btw, the problem is whenever I connect my Note 2 to wifi it would lose connection after a while then messes my router and connection of my PC to router as well. Never had this issue until I brought the Note 2 home a week ago. I had to restart my router and turn off my wifi on Note 2 for everything else to work. My iPad, iPhone and PC are all doing fine when Note 2's wifi is off.
I used to have terrible problems with my Virgin Superhub which all went away when I changed the security settings to WEP hexidecimal from WPA2-PSK (AES). Laptops and phones would have intermittent connections all the time which a reboot or channel change would sort out but only temporarily. Give it a whirl.

I've been experiencing the same problem. It's especially annoying when I try to download big size apps on Google Play ( > 1 gb) because it will stop any moment and i will have to re-download it over and over again. It never happens when I connect to school wifi but it just happens when I connect to my wifi at home. Weird. Nothing is wrong with my wifi at all because my other computer is always connected 24/7 without any problem.
I have a similar problem on Omega Ron v5.0 with latest Andrei kernel. The phone gets stuck sometimes in getting IP address part or have disconnects. It's annoying.

Afraid not.
I did that after other efforts failed but still have to go through same issue every now and then. This is not a permanent problem but something that occurs at least once a day for me.
Also having Wifi issues with GN2 from Sprint
I got the GN2 on it's release date (this past Thursday) through Sprint. Got it home got set up, connected...everything worked beautifully.
After a couple of hours, downloading apps etc. I noticed it had stalled. Turned off WiFI and used the network to finish. Turned back on WiFi and Voila, action again, but a few hours later it stalled.
I first made sure all of my settings were in agreement. No sleep mode or anything like that was enabled. No power saver either.
Couple hours goes by, WiFi connectivity stalls (even though it shows a full signal) I contacted TWC and made sure it wasn't the modem/router. I changed the wifi channel, tinked with the bandwidth... everything worked...an hour later it stalled. Called Sprint they said I had a dud, took it back, exchanged it, got the new one... SAME ISSUES. YEsterday I connected to my Church network HOPING it was an issue at home, but not so. After an hour on the network it stalled.
Contacted Samsung today and they have had no complaints according to them so i said I'm happy to be the first... If anyone finds a fix please let me know.
PD

Do you have any solution yet? I have the same issues with 2 different networks. I already contacted Samsung, but they only say I should do a reset of my device and read the setup instuctions for wifi. I'm still in contact with Samsung and hardly try to get a solution.
Stay tuned, I'll post any news I can get.

I'd prefer it to work with the stronger encryption of WPA2 rather than WEP.
OP: it will be great if you could add a poll to the thread as that way we can see whats the percentage of users are experiencing this issue,
Thanks

I had this issue with my S3, but never with the Note 2. What i did in that instance was reinstall the OS and that seemed to have fixed the issue. Hope this helps!

Same issue here. Connect wifi and I'm able to hold connection for as little as minutes at times. Turn back on 4G and I'm fine. If I re enable wifi straight after it works intermittently. This is true of both my home and office wifi. So I'm lead to believe it's the phone.
Hi,
Almost the same thing here. everytime I go out of my home and comeback the wifi network seems to work but no internet access. I have to stop and restart wifi then it works.
very strange issue. ok I have a work around but I'm going to open a ticket to Samsung.
Same issue - connects for about 30 seconds
I've tried on different routers. Other devices (iphone, ipad, S3, etc.) all work fine. Sees the wifi network. connects, then disconnects and TURNS OFF WIFI. I can't figure out how to go to service mode to see if this is a timer issue. I've tried on both G and N networks. using a verizon fios, actionteck router (and netgear). Also, will not remember the password credentials. tried router reboot and fidling, etc. Driving me nuts. any suggestions ???
I was connected to my mother's WiFi at her place and she has terribly slow Internet so I forgot her network to just stay in mobile data. 10 minutes later I got the authentication message for her WiFi, and 5 minutes later I was connected again. Checked my WiFi list and it shows it as an available network, but not connected. I have tried connecting with the wrong password, forgetting a couple more times, no matter what I do it still connects to her damn WiFi. What can I do (other than turn my WiFi off, obviously) to block this network?

That's strange. Never hear of that issue before. Have you tried to use an app like WiFi Ruler to block it manualy? Just set the "closed" rule on the network and save.
Did you ever find a solution to this? I have almost an identical problem. In my case the wifi keeps trying to connect to the network in my old job.... even though I'm sitting in my apartment with my own wifi network. I have to manually connect to my wifi, but then 5 minutes later the phone will complain that there's no Internet connection. When I check the wifi settings it's once again trying to connect to my work wifi
My HTC M8 was normally able to successfully *forget* wifi networks until the recent upgrade to OS 6.2 (which broke so many things I've lost count). NOW, although I still have the "forget" option by long press, the network just keeps coming back and it blocks me from connecting to the valid one instead.
Hey there,
everytime I leave my wifi-area my G3 keeps on looking for another wifi instead of switching to the mobile network. Only after disableing the wifi and restarting the data connection it connects to the mobile network.
Is this a bug or a feature? Got my new G3 for 2 weeks now and never had a similar problem on other (LG) devices before.

Go to Wifi settings advanced and try switching off "Allow Wifi scanning when Wifi is off" this should stop your device scanning for other Wifi connections when it is disconnected.
Never had that option activated in the first place.
Any other ideas?
Hello!
I have the strangest problem with my Huawei Mate SE and I'd be shocked if you've ever seen something like it. Up until 24 hours ago everything was working mostly perfectly. But now I'm having network issues, and these aren't ordinary networking issues.
I cannot connect to the internet with WiFi or my mobile network. BUT, there is one network that allows me to reach the internet, my home wifi network. I can connect to different networks, I can connect to 4g and 4g LTE, but I keep getting timeout errors going through those.
I've already factory reset my phone and I'm about to return this phone if it can't be fixed. Does anybody have any ideas? Thank you!
