Where I don't have to log into in order to have WiFi then many speeds are awesome.

However, when I have to log into in order to ass WiFi (midst public WiFi) the phone won't connect. Just stays at obtaining ip address

I took a pic of my evo and s3 in same spot at my house. Evo on left s3 on right. You tell me theres no difference. You cant even see the wifi bars on the s3 well bc there isnt any

Does the wifi security mode effect connectivity or speeds?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] leetone:
my iphone4 and ipad wifi is much better.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] enyce9:
The wifi on my s3 and old s2 don't compare to my evo lte and old evo 3d. I've done side by side comparisons and the HTC phones beat it every time as far signal strength is concerned.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 00mred00:
Rather than comparing signal bars...try network signal info for measurement.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sweets55:
WiFi seems good on SG3 compared to SG2. I can go across the street and works fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skorpion56:
-1

When my GSIII is on wifi at home, smokin-fast. As for the 2 hospitals I work at, wifi at both is screamin. Sounds like a personal issue. Maybe have yer phone checked with a tech or re-configure your home network... This phone doesnt have any weaknesses as far as Im concerned. Yay!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] enyce9:
It's not the router.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bmoreboy02:
Its the router....its your phone...its this its that. No its samsung. Look i love my s3 best phone ive ever owned. But once again i have an s2 and 2 S3s and an evo lte. 4 phones......same router, which comcast just gave me there newest router when they came out 3 weeks ago to add a room....same exzact spot in the house the 2 S3s cant stream anything. The s2 cant either. The evo lte streams flawlessly. Even my 3d streamed super fast. So once again i love my S3 but it is what it is. You guys sayin theres no problem probally havent had an htc phone recently to compare it to. Even the tablets are different. My galaxy tab 7 2 streams slower then my brothers jet stream when hes over here. So please stop sayin get the phone checked or its the wifi

4 PHONES.....3 SAMSUNG 1 HTC.....1 LOCATION.....SAME ROUTER.....HTC OUT PERFORMS ALL 3 SAMSUNGS
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] james33440:
Yeah my Hero, EVO, EVO 3D, and EVO 4G LTE all have better WiFi speeds than my S3, S2, and even Moment.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Custodian:
Lol. Nice thread BTW.

Glad I never have these petty problems.

Streaming is platinum

Browsing is platinum

Online gaming is platinum

Downloading huge files is platinum

Well. What can I say...best phone in the world. Thanks Samsung for destroying ALL competition on all levels once again.

Only thing I request now is to implement a vagina on the next galaxy s...and were good!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ronnienyc:
It's funny I have 2 of these phones and one of them never drops WIFI but the other one drops the connection consistently. They are both running the same ROM and radio software.

The strange thing is many people with the evo lte are having the same wifi issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ScrapMaker:
It's more about WiFi distance, not throughput.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 00mred00:
The thread is all over the place. There are complaints on both reception and throughput
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fishingmedic:
Im not complaining about throughput, only distance. When connected my s3 screams like nothing else, its the distance away from router that im complaining about, sorry if i mislead anyone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ronnienyc:
Okay, so you are suggesting that we need two different threads, one for reception only and one for the throughout only? Geez. I'm sure at that point we have someone chiming in about too many wifi threads.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bmoreboy02:
Id agree when im close to the router the speeds are fine. Its the distance im complainin about. You cant be far from the router with the s3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] andstein85:
I have to say I agree... I have an extremely powerful router, and the wifi signal strength on the Galaxy S3 is still sub-par in comparison to how it was with my HTC EVO.

And it uses the Broadcom bcm4334 chip, which I have my own hands on experience with, so I know its completely capable of long ranged reception and transmission. However this chip package includes an integrated processor, ROM, and RAM, making its configuration options completely independent from the phone itself.

Meaning these kinds of options are inaccessible from within the OS on the phone.

Reason: If they were accessible, they'd have an FCC nightmare on their hands when everyone started modding their wifi power settings :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jbadboy2007:
Everyone keeps mentioning signal strength but no one has put up any db's from the s3 and evo. To the person using a comcast router for your wifi thats your first problem. Also some of us are providing ways for you guys to diagnose whats going rather than just blaming the phone and trying to figure out why its happening. Since no one that has this issue wants to figure it out this thread might as well be closed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 00mred00:
Am I? I don't believe I said that.

I can still provide info straight to the source.... yet still all I see is hearsay and claims based off of signal bars.

Download an app...take measurements.. post those measurements.

Until then I have nothing worthy of sending up. Giving them "hey, your wifi sucks" results in laughter and then a bunch of mumbled Korean .. then more laughter.

My Evo LTE bricked. The best I can do is test s3, note Samsung phones an HTC inspire and an LG Viper.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ReapersDeath:
I have a frontier (extension of Verizon), and im clear across my house where i usually had no wifi signal with my HTC EVO 4G and i have 2 bars with my S3. Don't blame the phone, the inconsistencies are from different routers. ie the routers are to blame.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bmoreboy02:
Now its comcast lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fishingmedic:
Ok, you guys want data to diagnosis the issue, tell me exactly what you want and I'll get it for you. Tell me what numbers you want and from where, sitting in front of my router? I can get them. Do you want them from my family room on my phone? They don't exist... I can get them from my sons or stepsons phones, but sorry, can't get them from mine because my phone tells me I'm out of range. I'll be happy to download any app you want, be specific and I'll get whatever. I can tell you when I am connected to wifi the phone blows the 4S and Evo LTE out of the water... however they clearly have the range over me. I have a few apps already on the phone to show signal strength, db, etc, however when I'm not in range of the router, what good are they???

---------- Post added at 07:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 PM ----------

As I noted above, which app would you recommend to test when my phone shows out of range?

Different routers? Ummmm, ok, I have one router, 3 different phones connecting to it, 2 have great range, one doesn't. Ohhhh, I clearly see what you say it's the router. Crystal f'ing clear it's the router... Based on what??? I'm missing something...:confused:

Not trying to antagonize anyone here, but I'm clearly missing something in this thread.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 00mred00:
This is kinda what I am talking about...the thread is all over the place....

Your issue is that it isn't connecting at all

Others are comparing bars to bars, one has more than the other

Another says there are buffering issues

Then the one guy is pissed his isn't making him a samwich

Seriously! Its obvious your issue is the house...and you need to move....

But yeah...in a spot where they all connect...connect and use one of those handy dandy apps to measure the signal
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ScrapMaker:
The speed tests are irrelevant if you're comparing distance, really. Does anyone know if by some driver modifications we could perhaps modify the power savings settings? I feel that it has to be something like that. Though what is funny is that I never even used the Evo 3D's advanced settings where you can boost the power... still has superior range.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Warrior 3000:
i just got the s3 today and i noticed my wifi runs very very slow. looked into this issue and i found this out and it works very well now.....

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26987997&postcount=80
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fishingmedic:
Exactly, I personally am not complaining about the speed, I can smoke the other phones WHEN I'm connected. If I'm not connected (out of range) and the other phones still have a great connection, I'm not quite clear on what people want me to test, or what to use for testing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 00mred00:
What I am testing today, using network signal info, on a handful of phones

Start at router measure signal db /strength on each phone....move further away and repeat. Once connectivity is lost in any one phone, record which phone and measurement of distance from router.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fishingmedic:
Once the snot nosed little punks get home from school I'll grab some signal strengths and post them up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rtmeikle:
My wife and I both recently got an S3. She came from the original EVO and I had the EVO 3D. We both noticed that our new phones couldn't connect to our WiFi in our bedroom (or when they did connect they would frequently drop the connection). We've never had problems before with our old phones, our HP Touchpad, two laptops, or my daughter's iPod.

We ended up buying a WiFi repeater to put closer to our bedroom so the WiFI signal is stronger there, and we're good now. However, I have no doubt that the WiFI issues we were experiencing relate to the S3. Other devices worked fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ztrewa:
When people complain about having a different number of bars displayed between two devices, you cannot say that one is getting a stronger signal. You need to compare the dbm's in their numerical form. The bars are simply a representation.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nurvcom1:
my s3 wifi work good in and out home and at work it old lead infested building with super bad signal in building and i still picking up wifi from building next to use ....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fishingmedic:
Anyone with half a brain should understand that, however, if you do not have a connection, there are no dbm's in numerical form, i.e. there is no signal to measure, correct???
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ScrapMaker:
Maybe someone running a TW ROM can check this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TambourineMan:
Maybe we should have two threads: one for deniers and others who want to see if there's a fix.

I never had great voice reception at my house with my EVO 4G - 1 to 2 bars. My S3 shows zero to 1 and rarely 2.

For data (for instance in my Mail Droid email program) at home I regularly get messages saying I lost connection (not the stupid network roaming warning). I thought this was because it was not kicking over to wifi (although I thought wifi was supposed to be preferred over 3G) I have never had poor wifi connection problems with many cell phones ( mine, my wife's, my 3 kids) over many years so I never imagined it was due to poor wifi. Fortunately I have a DD-WRT compatible router so I can boost the TX power (with a 15 dB antenna at my cottage in rural coastal Maine routers can reliably connect for a mile). guess I'll have to check it our. I was thinking I was going to have to try to convince Sprint I needed an Airave (for no monthly charge).

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jbadboy2007:
Another thing make sure your s3 is on 2.4 ghz band not 5ghz the 5ghz will provide superior link speeds but at much shorter distances. The evo could only do 2.4ghz
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cnstarz:
the only true way to compare the signal strengths of htc with samsung is to go into your router admin panel and look at the signal strengths from there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TambourineMan:
What about "auto?" does that not automatically switch from 5 to 2.4 if 5 is poor?

(I did not know the S3 even did 5 - mine was set on "auto.")
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] james33440:
How can you change the auto selection of the s3 to 2.4ghz?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ztrewa:
Well if you have a dual band router(2.4&5ghz) when you configure the router, there will be two networks created, one for each frequency. Connect to the 2.4 for best range

Sent from my galaxy s3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jbadboy2007:
Or there is a mod in the dev section for lg8 to enable the options in the wifi advanced menu for 2.4 or 5ghz. Lg2 had this option by default they took it out because the auto mode was the culprit of many peoples wifi issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] knishknosh:
wi fi

i tend to get 18 or over on my wi fi with the SGSIII
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TambourineMan:
Well at least they're legal in most states. LOL.

My bars only go to 6 not 18 and my wi fi analyzer is in dBs and range from -100 to -40. I now get between -60 and -70. I might like 18 better if I knew what 18 was.

So I get -60 to -70 (yellow, but borderline green) now that I have turned turned Sprint Automatic Connections on, that is. It was turned off as I just flashed a new ROM, so the phone apparently was not even trying far a wi fi signal even if the mobile data one was poor. WTF. I think i did not turn it back on because I was trying to see what had been chewing up my battery.

However, even with that turned on, my preliminary conclusion is that I get better results at home (which has a poor cell signal) if I turn mobile data off, then the S3 doesn't even have to try to figure out that it is poor.

I'm gonna have to flash my home router as that one is the stock Linksys firmware and they don't bother to put in an option for clients, let alone their signal strength. Really lame.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alvavaca:
My i9100 has very very poor signal....i try a lot of modems (kh3, nelp3, etc) and roms (GB, ICS, JB) with no lucky. Is strange but when I take my phone from the bottom with hand (where the antenna is located), the signal immediately lost, and when i take phone from the top and put it upside down, i have one or two bars of signal.....I have seen this page: http://www.mobilerdx.com/2012/05/samsung-galaxy-i9100-s2-no-service.html# but I guess that is not my case because I have a little signal. What can I do??? Is a hardware issue??? Please help and sorry for my bad English....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilometers4:
Did you give the modems time to settle? They're like roms in that you have to give them a few battery cycles to see the difference between them.

Here is the [REF] Galaxy S 2 Shipped Modem Collection ;)

as what the guy way above me said, kernels are like ROMS, usually just flashing and then using the same modem for 3-5 days should tell you how well it performs in your country and with you Mobile Network operator. Please remember that it takes around 2-3 days for a Modem to "settle" and achieve optimum performance, so don't judge how good a Modem is straight after flashing. That's where a lot of people fail when asserting battery drain.

but you can test your signal strength here: Network Signal Info

;)

i hope this will help you!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alvavaca:
Thank you guys for your replies but my problem is more serious. No matters which rom or modem i am, the phone signal is practically 0 all the time, only when i take my phone from top and turn the phone and extend my harm, i can take a little signal, or when i am very close to operators antenna i cant take decent signal.... the phone is useless now to make and receive calls....i think maybe is a hardware problem, but the little signal makes my think is software, i dont know......i´m crasy now....

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immortalis:
It seems to be a hardware problem. Insert your SIM to other phone and check the signal.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alvavaca:
SOLVED.......I do it!!!!

It seems that my problem was the white cable connector on top, or something like that, because when I put a small wire from the white cable (with a small cut in the coverage) to the external antenna input, the signal comes back like a charm!!!. I leave a picture of the mod in case anyone needs to do the same and I hope this helps. Thank you guys for your answers, and again sorry for my bad English.....Jokesy, i will tray anyway your recommendation to find any error with the RIL, thank you....:good:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushpilotwannabe:
Which version of CWM are you using? I believe 6.0.1.0 comes with a script that tweaks certain files to make it easier to get back in to recovery. It should prompt you the first time you select "reboot system now".

Also, are you trying to get into recovery from the boot screen (i.e. power + volume buttons) or through an app's rebooter? I've never had luck doing it the first way, but getting in through the reboot function on Titanium Backup or ROM Toolbox should work.
