wifi disconnecting
I haven't had this issue but got driven nuts by it on an HAIPAD m701, it was disconnecting about every 10 - 20 seconds. Fixed it after pulling all of my hair out by setting the correct time and date.
Probably won't help but I thought I would throw it in there just in case it does.

WiFi Dropping

I have the sleep policy set to never yet my WiFi at work keeps reconnecting every time i power it back on. My Evo4G has the same settings and doesn't drop the signal.
Ideas?
I'm having the exact same problem!
When I let my tablet sleep, after turning the screen on, the status bar says I'm connected to WiFi, but the bars are grey, not blue. Browsing the web works and YouTube as well, but apps like Talk keep saying I'm offline. After waiting a minute, it signs me in.
I have it set to never disconnecting WiFi, I'm not sure why it's doing this.
Same problem here. I returned my first Galaxy Tab 10.1 because of this. Sadly my replacement does the same thing.
I'm wondering how common this is or if returning it again would just be a waste of time.
It's particularly annoying because I like to stream after a while when the display is off, the streaming stops (wifi apparently dropping).
Seems like it is always one dang problem after another with each Honeycomb tablet I've had. *sigh*
Am I to assume by lack of response that almost nobody else has this issue? Just curious because it seems odd I'd have this problem with two tablets. And trying to decide if I should return and try a third time. Hate to keep returning them though if it's just a normal glitch with this tablet.
Same problem here, but only on my EAP network at work. On my home network (WPA2 personal), it works great.

I have this issue too, I seem to be connected but bars are grey. I tap the wifi, which takes me to settings and once I tap on my my access point which already shows connected, it lights back up and the bars change back to blue. Mainly an annoyance for now.
I had this same problem, the only way I found that is consistent is using Bluetooth.
Anyone know of a good way to reproduce the problem on demand? It happens often. So I was going to return the tablet to Fry's Electronics. But now they've gotten super anal and won't even let me exchange unless I can duplicate the issue in store.
But it seems to happen at random times when the screen has been asleep for a while.
And I probably will do my best to avoid shopping at Fry's in the future as well.
Happens to me too. It definatly is annoying. Hopefully they can send out a fix when they release the touchwiz ui.

It's not like I get disconnected from the net, although I see the grey bars, I can still surf the web and junk, but some apps log me out like I mentioned before. It used to happen all the time, now i only happens at times.
To see what I'm talking about, let it sleep for like an hour or two, and then launch Google Talk. It says you're offline, wait a bit and it logs you in again
Okay, that must be what is happening to me. I notice the grey bars all the time and a bit of lag once I pick up the tab and try to connect to some network resource. What I've discovered is that if you connect to a remember wifi spot (home) then let the device sleep and then move to another remember wifi spot (work) it just disconnects and waits for you to unlock the device before it even tries to reconnect.
It's driving me crazy, I take it from home to work and us to use it to keep me updated on emails but now if I forget to unlock it it won't scan the remembered wifi network that I'm now on, it just stays dormant until I unlock it which means no email notices or anything pop up.
There's got to be a setting or something to say always scan for networks, I have "never" checked but that does nothing in my opinion.

Phone sometimes disconnects when using WIFI

hi, sometimes when i look at my phone, usually after being on wifi the phone shows no bars.
sometimes it comes back on in a min, i tried airplane mode but it wouldnt work. so i restarted it and worked fine.
not sure why it happens, does anyone else have this? could it be due to some Wifi calling setting? not sure why phone seems to just cut off.
anyone have any idea why this may be happening?
does it turn off radio for wifi calling somehow or? just random.
I have a similar issue, but not equal. Sometimes, when I try to connect to the network I always do (home), it simply doesn't work. Scanning - disconnected - scanning - disconnect. Only a phone reset fixes this.

I had a similar issue a while ago and sent Mine back to the seller but the seller claimed neither they nor Samsung could find a problem with the phone. Thankfully The seller sent me a replacement which no longer gives me this problem so it may be the handset, though it could also be the setting/Conflicting app. Someone reported here his problem Was solved after adjusting a w ifi regulating app
i have a 3-day old gnote and i started noticing this problem after i have my phone rooted. the wifi icon stays on but there's no internet connection. turning the screen off and waking the phone after a minute solves the problem but its annoying to be losing connection when you're needing it. i'm on stock KKA.

Not a user error so need to contact Samsung-don't think is anyway
I have a somewhat similar problem. When I am using wifi for somewhat long time, I am unable to connect back to my 3g. Or if I was on 3g connection and I move out of coverage area for a little more than 10 minutes, I can't reconnect to 3g. Only 3g connection has this problem though, everything else works fine.
If I restart the phone, I can reconnect. Setting to airplane mode and resetting doesn't help. Neither does resetting the mobile network operators.
Yes, the problem seems to be software related since there is no actual problem with receiving 3g/phone.
yesterday i drove back 10 hrs and streamed music/radio the entire way with only a few tiny interruptions in reception.
but often still if i just take my phone out of my pocket, the "phone" part will be off and usually turn back on within 1-2 mins.
but this is quite annoying since sometimes il literally be waiting for 1-2 mins to place a call.
my phone is "not" rooted.

n00b needs help

Hello all,
Got my tf300 about 2 weeks ago and am loving it. I have one minor issue that I would love some input on. Whenever I am not using the tablet for a couple of hours and wake it back up, the wifi gets stuck on "obtaining IP address."
I have it set to keep the wifi on when sleeping but it still seems to cut out. I can make it get connection by unplugging my modem and router for a few minutes and then plugging it back in.
It's nothing big but just a little annoying to have to do this every time I want to start a new session.
Thanks in advance!
PS I am an uber noob with tech stuff so please dumb it down for me.

[Q] Bluetooth Turns itself off after 5-10 mins?....HALP :(

Evening all!,
Wondering if anyone else is having this issue with their note 3?
(i have the EU Snapdragon 800 version - sim free)
Everytime i turn my bluetooth on, it picks up on all devices in the area and connects fine.
HOWEVER... after around 5-10 mins, even if using the relevant bluetooth device, The Note 3 just turns bluetooth off and severs the connection, forcing me to manually turn it on again....
its currently driving me batty!! as i cant use my MOGA pro pad to play any games without it just dropping half way through and when playing music through my headset or speaker, it just stops the music dead...
this is nigh on a device breaking issue for me but coudl just be me doing something stupid (spent a good long while searching forums and cant find anything).
anyone else have this? or able to fix it?
cheers all!!
OK - I have just sat down and timed it... almost at EXACTLY 15 MINS, Bluetooth turns itself off if connected to ANY device. just had music playing through a bluetooth speaker - 15 mins - speaker gives disconnect noise and BT now off on device.
with the amount of bluetooth devices i use, this is making the phone almost un-useable. gotta wait till monday before i can talk to anyone at samsung and pretty sure they wont have a clue or will just ask for the phone to be sent away...
ANYWAYS. ill keep an eye on here if ANYONE can give any pointers as to what this might be?.
cheers again and hope to hear from you all
UPDATE - tried same speaker setup again right after and bluetooth quit out after 27 mins this time so it isnt consistent every time it gives up... this is sooo frustrating....
Is it possible you have a bum BT radio in your GN3?

Ive been messing around with it today and came to actually fix the problem by mistake!.
its the old "I.T Crowd" solution ...
i turned it off, turned it on again and problem fixed!..
proper weird, though that was the first time i have turned the device off since buying so must've just been a bit twitchy.
either way, happy as Larry now!

I am having the same issues now that you described earlier. I have had this phone since the beginning of October and no issues at all until about 3 days ago when BT started shutting down constantly. I have not timed it specifically but it is in the 10 to 15 minute rnage when it forces me to turn it back on. This is driving me nuts.
I have shut it off and turned back on with no luck. powered it off, removed the battery, let sit for a while and repeat. Same issue although at times it seems to be inconsistent. I did get the new Sony SmartWatch 2 so I am constantly loosing connection and reconnecting manually with it. I have had that for 2 weeks but only started having issues a few days ago.
Any other ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
Did you try wiping cache partition?
BT switches off exactly every 3 minutes
I've tried rebooting and switching off and on again to no avail!

Help, S4 keeps loosing the internet connection and phone connection.

Hey, so I've been having this irritating problem for a while now... First it didn't really bother me that much, but now I'm starting to loose my mind over it..
The problem is that my Samsung galaxy s4 keeps on loosing my internet connection f.ex as I'm surfing thru the internet on anysite actually, while refreshing a page or trying to acces to a new page
I come across starting at the blank screen for a while and figuring that my phone once again lost the connection to the internet, this takes up to approx. 5-10 secs. After that the internet connection comes back,
and the internet works OK for a couple of minutes again. While i'm somehow still able to live with this problem, there's another. I constantly use GPS, google maps at work as I happen to be a courier at a delivery firm, the
gps freezes from time to time and usually when I'm leaving from one stop to another and try to input a new address into googlemaps it takes like 10 seconds till it finds the adress because the internet once again disconnected.
I also have another problem, My phone keeps blocking calls and i'm neither able to call anyone instantly, when I dial up a number and start calling the person my phone goes into somekind of "thinking" mode and it usually takes like
10 seconds ( sometimes longer ) before the phone starts to dial..
If there's anyone who knows how to fix this problem i'd appreciate it alot, really... I really WOULD. this phone is literally driving me crazy, and since I'm still paying of this phone, I don't really have the money to buy a new one lol..
The Phone is rooted, i've installed plenty of roms but seems like I have the same problem with every rom...
Atm i'm using the Samsungs original firmware which i downloaded from samsmobile.
Thanks in advance,
best regards ~ andy.
