Hi guys,
I own a Galaxy Note 3 and in these last months the Wifi connection has been acting strangely, at first the Wifi would deactivate itself and I needed to reactivate it everytime, then it started to not activate normally, it would remain stuck on "Activating" in the settings options. At this moment I can't even turn the WiFi on anymore in any way.
Here a list of the things I already tried:
Reboot the phone
Take out the battery for a couple of minutes and rebooting
Turning off "WiFi Power Save Mode" via the dialer *#0011#
And at last factory reset. (When I reset it the first time the wifi seemed to work again but after some updates and a reboot the wifi won't turn on anymore)
P.S: No carriers and never rooted
A friend of mine had this issue with GS2. He went for a replacement finally.
I see the same on my N9002. I consider this a hardware issue. It started with occasional WiFi shut down. I was able to restore WiFi after opening the device playing around with the connectors or removing the screws. The outages became more frequent. Now WiFi and Bluetooth are both dead.
I did everything software to fix it. Several resets, several different ROMs, updates - with no effect.
I am on the way to a repair store now to see what they come up with.

Hi guys,
this is my first time using these forums and I wouldn't have done that if the problem was easily solvable. However, this is a major problem for me and I couldn't find a thread nor a solution to it, so I'll post it here.
I have the i9305 4G version of the S3. I have had it for about a month now, and it worked fine, up until now. The phone suddenly starts to restart itself (not reboot!) for about 10 seconds, then goes back to the dashboard.
The problem seems to be the WiFi. Right after I get the "Connected to ... network" message on the bottom of the screen, the phone vibrates immensely once, then everything freezes for a few seconds, then another 2-3 vibrations, before the Samsung logo comes up with the LED light on. After a few seconds again I'm back in the dashboard until I get the "Connected to ..." message, and so on the process repeats itself.
Turning off WiFi seems to solve the issue, but once I turn it on again the problem reoccurs.
Something else I've noticed is that if I have WiFi turned off and cellular data network (for instance 4G) turned on, the "4G", "H+" etc. logo does not appear, even though I'm connected to cellular data! Don't know if it can be related to my main problem.
I have tried everything I'm aware of. Unplugging the battery, factory reset and back up, hard reset, wipe cache pertition. After the factory reset I can use WiFi again, but only for a few hours until the problem reoccured. I THINK once my battery is fully charged the problem occurs.
Note: I haven't even touched stock ROM, kernel etc. Nothing is flashed. Phone is in the same condition as when it came out of the box. Android version: JB 4.1.1
I would be forever grateful if you could help me out here, I can't have a phone restarting itself and vibrating like crazy every 10-15 seconds.
(Sorry in advance if this was the wrong place for this thread.)

UPDATE:
Seems like my issue isn't just related to Wifi. Cellular data network was actually related to my issue, as I first feared. If Wifi is turned off and cellular data turned on, the same thing happens. Seems like the issue occurs every time I try to use the internet either way.
Anyhow, if I let the phone reboot itself without turning on or off anything at all, it will reboot about 5 times until either Wifi or cellular doesn't work anymore even though the status bar tells me that it is turned on!
This seems to be a serious connectivity issue and for the first time I'm suspecting interference with the phone's wireless network hardware. If none of you are able to provider an answer, I guess I have no choice but to hand it in to get it repaired or replaced.
Still noone who has a solution to my problem?

My solution to your problem would be to just bring it to whoever you bought it from and demand a replacement. That isn't normal behaviour.
you can boot into recovery and do a factory reset and cache wipe
if wiping does not solve your problem, just return your phone.
I don't know if this is related, but, I had this issue once (the cause is not wifi though), and samsung fixed (or replaced) my phone.

I'd wipe the phone and return it. This is not normal behaviour and should fall under warranty... Wiping might fix but this may happen again if there is an inherent problem with your handset....
So i remember that i just rebooted my device and next thing i know is, wifi is stuck with 'WiFi is turning on'
Things i have tried to fix it : factory reset, hard reset and when none worked, paid a visit to lg service centre where it started working automatically. Came home, worked just fine but for 2 days.
Now it's been a week. I even flashed stock rom thinking it might be 4.4 rom issue. And nnope. Sane issue. So i guess that means is isnt software issue.
BUT here's what happens. Same modem, mother's galaxy mega2 connects, her laptop connects. I today tried connecting my phone to her phone's hotspot and it connected in first try. Confusion is, i don't know if it's modem that's faulty or phone ( idk if software or hardware )
Also, i noticed when i try to turn on wifi now, it shows no connection available and the wifi icon in drop down menu keeps blinking without being blue. I think it should just turn blue even if there if no wifi to be detected. Sometimes it stops blinking and doesnt turn blue still
It's so confusing
Any help will be much appreciated !
hi, it has almost been two years, did you fix the problem meantime?
Greetings:
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 model SM-N900W8. Its the Canadian version.
Its running Android 4.4.2
I'm on the Fido network.
A few days ago my wifi and 4G Data started turning on randomly all by itself.
When I would try to turn it off after few seconds they would turn on again.
First thing I did was power off my phone and when I restarted my phone everything
seem to be OK.
But later when I turned on my Wifi, and then tried to turn it off, the problem started all over again.
The second thing I troubleshooted was to run AVG Anitvirus software and after scanning, it
stated that an App may be giving problems, so uninstalled that problem App.
But the problem still happens.
I also uninstalled another App thinking it may be giving me problems too.
Still the problem is still there.
I don't want to factory reset my phone.
I do have a MicroSD 32gb Lexar card in my phone, but I haven't tested to take it out and see if this
is the problem.
Has anyone experienced a problem like this with their Note 3?
Regards Robert
I have been using Yu Yureka for almost 9 moths now.
I was not having any other issue till last month.
But since last month, I am facing issues with my WiFi.
Few weeks ago, I was using my phone casually and everything was fine, but suddenly my WiFi got disconnected automatically. I just opened WiFi setting and seen that my router was visible.I just tried to reconnect it and it successfully got connected.
Then for some few days, this same issue was there. It just use to get disconnected oftenly.
But every time I open up my setting and after reconnecting it use to work fine.
Then after a couple of days later it as usually got disconnected and hence I opened settings again. This time, my router was not visible, even though the router was connected with my laptop.
So I rebooted my phone and got back to settings.
This time, WiFi was switched off and it was not turning on.
I tried to reboot my phone.
And after couple of reboot, it was switched on and I reconnect it.
It was annoying and I was fed up of this.
I was running official 5.0.2 cm12.
I choose to flash the latest official cm12.1 5.1.1 ,just because I thought it will help me out with this issue (yes my phone is rooted and have twrp installed).
After formatting my phone completely and flashing cm12.1 on cm12, I was hoping that now the issue will be gone but it was still there.
Conditions had gone worse.
Now it was disconnecting even more frequently.
So I decided to just wipe the system partition completely and install the ROM again.
I again flashed cm12.1
But condition gone worst.
Now at present,
My phone disconnects the WiFi as soon as I stop using the internet (as soon as phone stops receiving data from internet).
And once it disconnects, It doesn't show up any WiFi access point and I got to reboot the phone 3-5 times and there comes a reboot when the phone freezes for 5 seconds and again reboot 2 times by itself without me doing anything to it.
Then it turn on the WiFi automatically and I just have to go to setting to connect it to my router and it got connected.
If anyone have any solution regarding this issue, please help!
Facing the same issue, did you get any solution?
Head to service centre, I think its hardware issue not of software related.

Hi all, I've been having this issue for the better part of 2 years and still have not found any threads discussing it or any potential fixes. I've tried most of what I could do to try and fix it but to no avail.
My LTE "turns off" at various points during the day while I'm using it. For example, I'll be scrolling through Facebook and then my LTE just shuts off. Data intensive tasks aren't the reason either. I've noticed it has turned off while streaming, browsing social media, or even just using my phone. Some days the LTE turns off more times than other days. Turning airplane mode on and off does nothing. The only temporary fix I've found it to restart my phone. On bad days the data will turn back off within minutes.
I've tried factory resetting my phone, but after 3 attempts I'm not gonna do that again. I even tried getting a new sim card and 2 attempts did nothing. I've also tried changing to every setting you can find under network or mobile data. Nothing has fixed this damn issue and it's honestly more aggravating than my phone dying at 50%, with its 2nd battery.
