I think this issue started happening whenever I got the last big Android update that made my lock screen look more like the new galaxy notes lockscreen. When my wifi is toggled on, it automatically connects to every xfinity wifi Hotspot that I am near. This is extremely frustrating because it interrupts whatever I was doing on my phone and automatically opens the xfinity wifi user login splash page. I have no clue why this happens. This is exclusive to xfinity wifi hotspots and it does not happen with any others I believe. If I can't fix this issue I'm going to have to get rid of this phone because it is the most aggravating smart phone issue I've ever encountered. Model SM-G935V, Android 8.0.

I've noticed that my [rooted] Vibrant frequently has trouble connecting, or staying connected, to WiFi networks.
At first I thought it was specific to my Verizon Actiontec WiFi router, however I've also noticed this at my office, where we use Motorola routers, as well as a few other locations that I frequent.
It's still possible that its a site-specific problem, but, less likely as I'm seeing this in a few locations.
Symptoms:
I configure my phone to connect to X network.
It successfully connects and all it fine.
I get out of range, it no longer sees network X and disconnects.
Some time later I return to my previous location and expect that in N seconds/minutes the phone will automatically reconnect.
A considerable amount of time passes and I notice it's still not connected.
I check the wifi settings and it days connection unsuccessful.
I tap the network, click connect and it works.
I've also noticed this after connecting to a network and the phone goes to 'sleep' or into an idle state. When a wake it up, it doesn't always automatically reconnect.
Anyone else seen this?
Any suggestions?
Many thanks.
i've had that problem. i am not sure what it was because I was rooted and Ryaned. I got sick of all the stupid lil bugs and had to wipe format and unroot. Now that I am back to the original condition, theres this sense of comfort knowing if something buggy happens, it's not "my" fault.
Thanks for the reply.
I noticed this prior to rooting and 'Ryan'ing'.
The capacitive buttons don't work all that well from time to time - specifically the Home button so maybe I should just exchange it. I'll call TMO tomorrow to see what they say.
I have a tmobile Samsung Galaxy s4. It is not rooted. I have it updated to the latest update.
Whenever I keep the phone on wifi and the screen is off, I don't receive a notification if I get an email, snapchat, whatsapp message, groupme message, or anything. So pretty much, it seems that after I put the phone down, it isn't syncing any of the applications. This happens only on Wifi. I've messed with my router but there was nothing i could do to fix it. I have a linksys router.
This is a big problem for me because I don't want to use up all the data on my phone by turning off the wifi.
The "Keep wifi on during sleep" is on always and has been like that forever. Does anyone else have this issue or know what to do? Thanks in advance.
This is the problem that i am getting.. Wifi connected No internet... please some one help me.. is it modem related problem ?
tell us something more.
did you trie different wifi? maybe router has some specific settings
I tried different routers... but having same problem... whenever i connect wifi...its working fine..but after some time net gone...and i get this message in wifi settings...wifi connected No internet... i tried different roms but stil having same problem
I have a similar issue
S7 connects to WiFi but can not use any co sections through apps
The browser works though.
It only happens on my bt home hub WiFi .
Bt says there is no fault on the line (other devices connect fine)
Samsung says the phone is fine
The issue is seemingly the s7 and Google have an issue with ipv6
But at start when i bought my s7 edge..i had no such problem... wil there be any solution
I had this problem too after nougat update but at the end it was a router configuration problem.
So whats the router configuration...kindly share some steps
What if i go back to marshmallow ? Wil it be safe ?
This is also a problem I have been getting in the last week or so. I have had the phone over a year. Not sure if it could be a recent update that is causing this?
Mine started 3 weeks ago. I didn't update anything on the phone or router.
Will it be good to go back to android 6.0? Will it be safe?
Check your time on your phone. Sounds dumb but if it's not set to the right time, your Internet won't load.
also smart switch could be the problem.
I've had an issue a few times, when wifi turned off and was trying to connect again, but smart switch foocked up wifi.
try disabling all weird features in wifi settings
time is set and no smart switch problem also.... what should i do now
I also have a Pixel C and I get this issue on that as well so it's not just s7 edge related.
Oh thats strange that even Pixel phone also has this problem... what wil be the solution
I get the notification from Google about making your connection secure. I used to accept it. Now when I forget the connection and get offered it again I refuse. This seems to be working for me.
I am also experiencing this problem after the nougat update and after the March security update. The WiFi notification gets the exclamation point and I have to cycle connection. I have changed nothing and I have verified nothing has changed in my settings. No other brands of phone or tablet in the house are experiencing this problem.

Did you get the notification from Google about securing your Wifi network? If you accepted then forget the network, rejoin and the reject the offer in the future. It worked for me.

Nope, never got that notification. Tried forgetting and then reconnecting, no notification, and still WiFi sporadically says no internet when connected.
I'm here because I have exhausted all other options beside returning the phone. This thing disconnects from my work's WIFI when the screen is off, but it mantains connection on other WIFI's. This has not happened to me with many other phones I've had while working here, just this one. Phone mantains a connection to WIFI while screen is on, then it shuts off when screen is off. I come home, connect to my home's WIFI and alas, it works screen off. I go to Burger King, no problem. I go the mall, public WIFI, no problem.
I am the sysadmin at my work. What gives?
Already reset the phone, already called Samsung (told me to return it for another one)... I've checked various settings... just want to see if I missed something, because it all points to an issue with my work's WIFI, but why don't I have that issue with any other phone except this one?
I just checked with another person's phone, and it mantained connection screen off. I'm stumped.
8/11/17: Samsung tech indicated to wipe cache. Wiped cache / data, reconnected to wifi at home no problem screen off, came to work and screen off disconnects wifi. Used a Samsung Galaxy Express Prime with no SIM card connected to work's WIFI and no problem screen off, connects beautifully and streams no problem. S8+ screen off simply disconnects from this particular WIFI. Can't receive notifications on any app while connected to work's wifi - again, can connect screen off to other wifi's. I have this other phone that can connect to my work's wifi no problem (as well as others at my workplace). Any advice?
You have WiFi set to always on? or on while charging?
It could be the access point you use at work, an incompatibility with Samsungs Wifi sleep configuration
Hello, thanks for answering!
Well, it's set to always. I have a Samsung Galaxy Express Prime also, and it has absolutely no problem connecting to my work's many AP's and maintaining a connection (I'm currently using it with no SIM card).
Hey guys first time poster here hope you can help me out
So since the last 2 months or so i've been having an annoying issue with the t-mo variant on5 (sm-g550t), the mobile hotspot or tethering drops it's connection to every device it has connected to it, devices stay connected to the phone but they have no internet what so ever, laptop says "connected, no internet", XB1 disconnects on it's side and says that the network isn't set up but it's still connected or so the phone says, it's always at random, I can stay connected for around an hour sometimes or 5 mins at most sometimes and I have to restart it when that happens so that the devices can have an internet connection again, pda frequently drops to and won't really last long, I switched sims with my friends phone an LG v something and it worked flawlessly so the phone is the one with the problem, I'm a college student so I really need a working hotspot for multiple stuff.
On5 is rooted and has czars rom, no xposed or magisk used.
Thx in advance to whoever helps me with my issue
