Hmm, I tried turning off powesave mode, but that had no effect. Earlier today tried using wifi at a different location and got good speeds (about 30mbps down). My guess is that there is just some compatibility issue with the S3 and my router since my iPhone is working fine with it.

Do a WiFi scan and see if other people are using your channel space. If so change frequencies. You can try 20mhz as well. Update your WiFi accesspoint/router firmware.

Tips for better wireless n performance.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stan.s:
Fwiw. No one around me uses 5Ghz and I still have a problem. I've tried auto, 10,20,and 40 mhz wide settings. I have other devices and they don't have issues.

yeah girlfriends brand new samsung s3 cannot detect our wireless n on 5ghz range and the 2.4ghz is very intermittent, my iphone 4 works perfectly from the same location :crying:

Did you disable powersave on WiFi? It worked for me and a few others on this forum. No more dropped signals on g or n, and a stronger consistent signal.....

Phone > *#0011# > disable powersave.

Hope this helps
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] silverbmw801:
All in all it was an improvement but

AN sad to say, my other devices have stronger signals.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] outz:
yeah, s3 definitely has underpowered wifi.i purchased a galaxy nexus from google (which uses the same broadcom chipset as my iphone 4s) but it received half the signal of my 4s... i ended up sending it back. the s3 is a bit better than the nexus, but still a fairly low signal.

my wifi works fine but just sometimes is not stable i get kicked off my wifi and connects back..it dont do it all the time once a while or so..will reset my wifi see if that helps but over all not a big deal..i assume its a minor bug..

anyone getting this issues like me?

Return

I took my S3 to the Sprint store because of the wifi disconnects. I'm going to return it for a refund and go back to my S2 which not only does not have this problem, but also has WiMAX which is fast when I happen to be in a WiMAX area. The S3 is limited to 3G. The S3 makes no sense, IMO, until LTE is rolled out, if that ever happens.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stondec:
I'm also having intermittent WiFi disconnection issues. I even sometimes have to re-input the wifi password. I hope we get a fix ASAP!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ewingr:
I didn't realize I was having disconnects. I had posted earlier about using static addresses. I set up a Tasker task to say when connecting or disconnecting from WiFi, and I find that it is happening to me also, albeit not very often.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stan.s:
Watch the video I made (link in OP) , it is on a table, so hands are not responsible for the issue.

I am back to thinking that it is simply bad coding or perhaps incompatible chip set, like the old Antheros vs Broadcom issues from years ago. That would explain why some people don't report a problem.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stan.s:
I was so jealous of yours working.:):eek: Again I noticed because of Unlock with Wifi

http://benhirashima.com/unlockwithwifi/ which is a great app that I have been using for the last couple of years. I had to change a timeout setting to keep the phone unlocked longer than normal, when it detects that I'm not connected.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ewingr:
Cool. I'm doing the same thing using Tasker and a Security plugin. That in fact is what prodded me to set up the checks for disconnects, because my lock would come back, even though at the time it was connected to the WIFI.

I'm tweaking with timeouts too. If it is too finicky, I'll download the app you linked.

My Droid Incredible's wifi signal, according to wifi analyzer, is -60. Sitting right next to it my S3's wifi signal is -92. With the DInc I get wifi all over my tiny house. With the S3 I lose signal when in other room. Hope there is a fix soon or this is going back.:(

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] luv2ride:
This clearly is a problem

Look the fact of the matter is this. WIFI sucks, how can this get past QC I have no idea. I thought for the first time I would really like an android phone. I waited and waited, finally paid full retail last night and I cant stay connected to wifi for longer than 5 minutes? Doesnt matter where I am, home, starbucks (this did seem to last longer), work etc... Constant disconnects. Ive even been asked for my network password 4 times for my home network AFTER it connected before.

How does this happen? Someone help me, no wonder Apple sits back and laughs, when again, Samsung releases another phone that just doesnt work right.

Yes WIFI is that big of deal, we dont have unlimited data anymore.

Got my "new" s3 last night. Exchanged the one i got the day before & everything is working perfectly. I think this is a hardware issue. Just my 2 cents
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] mrvirginia:
i'm going to the store prob tomorrow to see if i can replicate my issue.

in the morning, i use the wifi toggle to turn the wifi off. when i come home and toggle it back on, it won't connect. i can even go into the wifi settings and select my network and hit connect and it won't. i have to toggle wifi back off and back on again and only then will it connect. if this is the same in store, both with my device and theirs, then Samsung has some serious updating to do in regards to wifi. at the least my device needs to act like the ones in store, regardless.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] babracmmm:
I don't have those options on my Verizon phone. Under "Advanced wi-fi" all I have is "auto-connect" "keep wifi on during sleep" MAC address and IP address.

What were my problems;

- lower wifi signal reception (2~3 bar), compared to other devices (full bar with galaxy tab 7.7, ipad2, etc)

- frequent wifi disconnecting and reconnecting during web browsing

- bad video streaming via home network

- 4~5 minutes after sleep mode, wifi does not reponse (I can see wifi icon with only upload-green arrow, but no data transfer) or it switched to 4g

- No touch screen response (for about 5 seconds), when wifi dropped after sleep mode

I visited a verizon store, and show them one of my problem (wifi dropping after 5 minutes).

After I showed the wifi dropping several times, they replaced my phone.

The new one passed the "5-minute sleep-mode test", and works good so far.

(signal bar is full now!)

This phone is great, but it seems that there are some QC problems.

If you have similar problems with mine, it'd be better to consider the replacement.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] M@31:
I just noticed (maybe I didnt realize before, or it just started happening) but whenever I touch the sides of the phone or the back, my signal is dropping to one bar.

I have turned off the power save but still get the same results.

This is kind of annoying, seeing how I use wifi at home and at work all day (90%) of the time.

I have not noticed this before, why would it start happening?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] babracmmm:
I called Verizon today and told them about the very weak reception of my wifi. I get full reception standing next to the router and if I walk 15 feet away it is down to one bar. The lady told me there is a scheduled OTA fix coming in October, but I said there are people on the forums who are reporting no problems so it must be a hardware problem. They are sending me a new phone. Verizon customer service :good:

WiFi Issues

I have 3 S3's and all of them are having poor WiFi Reception. also I realized that when I play youtube videos they freeze up too.

Just to let you know I also have the HTC Evo LTE and I get super reception not only at my home but I am catching other networks in the area

and the videos don't ever freeze. so It is and always been an issue with the Samsung radios:((( I love my S3 but cant stand this problem .

I think its a hardware issue :(((

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ooofest:
This is my symptom since Day 1 for a Blue 32GB, as well. We've had Droid Incredible and Incredible 2s here, iPhones from 3-4s, a Galaxy 7" pad and an iPad 2 - all work fine with the Wi-Fi from my Netgear WNDR3700 at 2.4 or 5GHz (i.e., I have two channels, different network names) using WPA2-PSK (AES).

Web browsing on Wi-Fi has been horribly slow with many timeouts and I can't even connect to check for a Software Update via Wi-Fi (unless that's normal for such a function).

Will be testing with my spouse's white 16GB later today to determine if it's only my Galaxy S III having problem.

I'm about ready to call Verizon for service, because Wi-Fi performance - even connecting is haphazard - is a big pain.

- ooofest
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ooofest:
Just spoke with Verizon Support and they located a known issue from Samsung which describes a WiFi disconnect/reconnect and bad signal issue. Samsung claims that there is a fix coming, but it will be in the second major software push (when is/was the first?) to our phones . . . in October, 2012.

They could not give me a reference number or similar.

So, I told Verizon that, until then, I will probably disable WiFi and stay on 4G - even at home.

We have two Galaxy S III phones here, so they said that if my spouse's phone does not have the same WiFi issues (i.e., maybe different build lots for the WiFi components?), then I can call back and they will exchange my phone for another new one until it works, essentially.

FYI.

I am having the same issues with poor wifi signal. low bars..so when is this update coming out? Anyone have any idea?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] mrRobinson:
I'm not sure the variants everyone is talking here but i have ATT. on the stock phone I had no wifi issues at work, corp AP, non-hidden wpa network. At home I have hidden ssid on airport extremes with wpa and would notice my wifi would connect/reconnect all the time. Sometimes in a seemingly endless loop until i cycled wifi on/off.

Once i applied ATT's OTA update to LG1 i've only noticed it do that once in the past week whereas before it was nearly every day. I did notice some changes to wpa supplicant in the OTA update. So something in that update made it much better for me but probably not 100% solved. That update also had a new modem.

As of right now its coming out in October. So a few more months of ****ty WiFi for me lol
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] babracmmm:
I received my replacement Verizon S3 yesterday and there is a ton of difference in the way the wifi receives and the life of the battery. Now my phone is working the way it is supposed to (except I haven't checked blue tooth yet). I'm getting 3 bars for wifi with this one. The other one could barely hold 1 bar.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ero-sennin0214:

Depending on where I am I have to switch between Auto and manually selecting 5. At home I drop signal / weak signal on auto so I switch over to force 5, at friend's houses or just out and about I need to have auto selected to see most networks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] gangstagaff:
I just bought my S3 yesterday, and I have noticed the wifi "death grip", signal will drop SIGNIFICANTLY when I am holding the phone in landscape mode and sometime drop out completely. I am wondering if I should just go back and get another or can I just expect this with the s3. Running a ping test now to see if the wi-fi drops out while I'm not using it. Anyone who has had this problem think I should return it, or just suck it up?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ero-sennin0214:
As I can confirm from my experience it is a software problem.... I was just having that issue on stock rooted and then flashed NoSymphathyDeodex rc1 for Verizon and the signal doesn't drop anymore... you guys should different roms
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] gunnyman:
I think I have a bad I-747.

I can leave the room my router is in and completely lose wifi. I read somewhere that it might be a Stock ROM issue so I installed AOKP. No improvement. Is there a way, like on the captivate, to improve the wifi antenna connection? On the cappy we could slightly bend the gold prongs so they make better contact with the back plate of the phone.

AT&T has no idea when they will have any in for replacement and since I got it off Craig's list I can't do an in store swap.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] mntgoat:
Did you ever get your disconnecting issue fixed?

My S3 connects perfectly to wifi then a bit later (don't know how long yet) it disconnects and can't connect again until I turn wifi off and back on. I can swear it is actually getting worse. My nexus S didn't have this problem and galaxy tab doesn't have this problem. And I doubt is an issue with my wifi because I work from home and I use it all day long.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ero-sennin0214:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] mntgoat:
