At home

Using 300mbps single channel riuter with tkip wep I always have problems with wifi only fix is disabling psm off via service menu for wifi. This works fine untill reboot.

Last week I was staying in a hotel and ended up using their wifi and with psm on never had a wifi connections issues there. I now believe my home network setup is way too complex for the note 2. Although my other devices never had a issue with it. My metwork consists.

Adsl modem router to vpn router to AP to wifi repeater to a switch to another AP

All 300mbps wifi and 1gbps wired connections.

This may be an Android bug. Nexus (4 & 7) owners are complaining about the same thing after receiving the latest Android update. So far Google has asked Nexus users for more info, but hasn't said anything about whether it's being fixed or not. In any case, if it is an Android bug, any custom ROM based on the latest Android release is likely to have the bug. It's frustrating. I have the same problem and the only thing that's worked -- and only temporarily at that! -- is a power-down and reboot.

If it's an Android bug I think the ball is in Google's court. No one ever said El Goog was infallible.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprkrt:
personaly i've tried 3-4 kernels with no result.

the only permanent solution for me was to copy wifi folder from any 4.1.1 rom.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tabone:
i think the IT have special setting on the router like DNS or etc, so you can just connect and must follow the setting
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Switch off Power Saving Mode for WiFi and you will be able to connect to WiFi.

Tap Phone to start the dialer.

Dial *#0011#

The SeviceMode screen appears.

Press the Menu button and click WiFi.

You will see that WiFi Power Save Mode is ON. Click the ON button to turn PSM off.

Now your phone will connect to WiFi. But remember that every time you reboot the phone, the PSM is turned ON so you have to do it every time you reboot the phone.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeeshanonlyme:
Keep calm and do the following:-

Download this zip file. And extract it to your etc/wifi folder.

http://db.tt/BWGleyxg

Since you need to overwrite a system folder, mount it as R/W from the default R/O using Root explorer or any other explorer(This is the important bit and there is no excuse for messing this part up)

Then copy and paste the conetnts of the "wifi" folder you earlier extracted to etc/wifi and choose "Overwrite files" option.

DONE.

If this doesn't work, then probably nothing will.

And to those of you wondering what is the zip file,it is actually a backup of the wifi folder of 4.1.1 which i have been overwriting into new ROM's wifi folder to make my wifi work. If you have any query, feel free to bug me.

GoodLuck.

Hi,

I've got the same issue from the 4.1.2 update. I've tried all the tricks in this thread but nothing worked.

Even with an old 4.1.1, wifi is unable to keep stable connection.

I've noticed that reception was full during one second before connection and then poor when connected.

I think the last solution is to throw it against the wall!

Lets do a quick check again.

1.Are you rooted?

2.Did wifi ever work properly for you?

3.Do you have root explorer?

5.Can you describe your problem a bit more?Does it end up saying Poor Network connection ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asymetric:
1.Are you rooted? Yes

2.Did wifi ever work properly for you? Yes before 4.1.2 update via OTA

3.Do you have root explorer? Yes

4.Do you know how to mount the system to r/w from r/o in root explorer? Yes I think

5.Can you describe your problem a bit more?Does it end up saying Poor Network connection ? My other android and PC devices get full signal from my router and others from neighbourhood. The GN2 only get 1 ot 2 bars from my router. It succeeds in connection obtaining IP but after some seconds the signal drop down and sometimes loose signal.

I'm trying again your step by step process and will advise you.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asymetric:
That's done. Still doesn't work.

What is strange is the signal is full just when connecting and then drops down.

Tell me when you copied the contents of the wifi folder you downloaded from Dropbox, and went to system/etc/wifi folder, and then pasted it, did root explorer ask you to replace the files?

Did you click on replace?

I downloaded from dropbox, exported to extSD. I switched off wifi. I mount system/etc r/w. I copied your wifi and past it to system/etc and accepted replacing. I rebooted. I switched on wifi and I've got same issue.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koalauk:
Just a thought.

Before doing all the things you are doing to eliminate your wifi issues please check that you are having problems on other networks wifi routers as well as yours.

From my experience I only have a problem with my own wifi network setup. But my phones wifi is ok as I dont have any problems with other wifi networks. For me I have a workaround so for the sake of my phone connecting easly I wont change my netwirk setup.

Just try using your friends or neighbours or even hotspot wifi to eliminate that your router is not the culprit

Additional info

Hi,

Galaxy Note2 N7100.

Have the same issue. Yesterday spent some time in the evening trying to solve it.

Issue appeared after updating to 4.1.2(3.0.31-679347). Before update used the same Home wifi router and the same config on it.

Symtomps:

Using WPA2/PSK authentication and trying to connect I see below sequence of messages: Authenticating -> Obtaining IP address -> Saved (just like dropping connection) -> Authenticating -> Obtaining IP address -> Saved (just like dropping connection). It can last quite long, but finally I see message: network disabled, poor connection.

Diagnostic and actions made:

- Tested from other device at home and for all of them it is working (it was working for Galaxy as well before update).

- Tested at work this morning and had the same issue. Rebooted device and have connectivity. Turned off WiFi and turned on again and see the same issue again - no connection. For me, that prooves no issues with home router.

- Rebooted Phone and router, no luck. Tried to reset router to factory config (just to be sure I didn't messed up something), no luck.

- Very rarely with random manipulations like forgetting network and turning WiFi off and on was able to get internet connectivity, but once reconnected the same issue again.

- removed authentication, the same symtoms, but skipping Authentication messages(which is logic)

- when I saw obtaining IP address on the phone, on the router I saw that IP address is assigned to device (web interface can't tell more)

- Used WiFi applications to configure static IP address and WiFi connects successfully and fast, but default gateway not pingable, also other devices in the same subnet not pingable from Galaxy. Network setup correct, experienced with that. And I think the issue somewhere around dhcp or routing. I'm using 192.168.1.0/24 , gateway: 192.168.1.254, so quite common network setup.

My assumptions:

When we see obtaining IP address, probably it is also checking connectivity with default gateway. So the problem could be in applying correct routes or some other network issues.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] montix:
Someone has a solution?

I probe all and...

I think it's a hardware bug...wifi signal goes slower and magicly goes faster when you disconnect and connect again the wifi in the Note 2...

Enviado desde mi GT-N7100 usando Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iCurmudgeon:
I don't think it's a hardware bug, because I managed to cure the problem on my Galaxy Note 2. My wifi is now solid and hasn't dropped the signal in two weeks (knock on wood). Trouble is, I'm not exactly sure which of the things I did actually cured it, so I'll just list the things I tried (in order) and you guys can try it and hopefully something will work for you too.

I can tell you that turning off the power-saving for wifi did NOT do the trick for me.

So here's what I tried (as you can probably tell, in order of increasing desperation):

1. Copied the contents of a 4.1.1 WiFi folder into my current WiFi folder using root explorer (make sure you set the folder access to Read Only after you finish). Rebooted.

2. Go into settings-> wifi ->advanced and turned OFF "Network notification." (This appeared to do the trick, but it didn't last).

3. Rebooted into recovery (in my case, TWRP) and flushed the Dalvik cache, then executed "fix permissions" in that order. Didn't do anything else.

4. Rebooted back into Android.

Somewhere along the way, the problem got fixed. I don't know exactly where. But I've rebooted repeatedly since then and my WiFi has been solid.

Give it a shot. No guarantees, but it it works for you, a click of the thanks button would be appreciated. Good luck.

By the way, at the time I was running Android Revolution HD 11.0 on an international (GSM) Galaxy Note 2. I'm now running ARHD 12.0.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atsco:
I tried twice that method and unfortunately that solution not helped me. But Wifi works fine with Perseus kernel so I don't believe that this is hardware problem. I use Omega v12 now and in Omega is the same wifi problem,because Omega uses stock kernel. And I can't change kernel, because I want to use Allshare cast dongle and that dongle works fine with Omega kernel, but if I changed kernel to Perseus, it stopped to work. So now I have to restart wifi every time before I use my Note 2. I hope that somebody can help me with that problem, or Samsung already knows about this problem and update is coming soon.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alta1r:
I used to have the same problem and tried many solutions as posted here but none of them worked.

What solved it for me was to go to set 'Keep Wifi on during sleep' to 'Always' (found under Settings>Wifi>Advanced).

Since I've done that (about 2 weeks ago) I haven't had a disconnect.

I hope this might help for others as well?

Hey everyone!

I have a Desire HD running Virtuous Unity (yes, the only reason I'm still on GB is the separate Facebook for HTC Sense) and I have exported my contacts to the SD card.

Now whenever I import these contacts on ICS or Jelly Bean ROMS, I lose a specific set of contacts!

This happens with ALL ICS/JB ROMS and even when I transferred the contacts to my Tab 2 running ICS.

I keep losing the same twenty or so contacts.

Any ideas from any body?

PS I don't use google sync, again because it doesn't sync the Facebook for HTC Sense links.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsngfrce:
First of all, I am very aware this has been asked many times and will be asked many times after this. I have read MANY threads both here and elsewhere and have never seen a definitive answer (which may not exist)...

My phone has started telling me about once per day that my exernal sd card may be damaged and unmounting it. If I reboot, it works fine until the next time it decides to tell me that again. I have checked it several times with Check Disk on Windows and it never finds any problems. I am currently using a SanDisk 64GB class 10 card purchased off Amazon. Yesterday, I copied everything off the card, completely formatted it (not the quick format and in the required Fat32 format) using the GUI version of Fat32format and copied everything back to the card. Both before and after formatting, Check Disk found no issues. Today, I received a notification that my SD card had unexpectedly been removed (it had not). A few seconds later I received notification that my SD card may be damaged and may need to be formatted. How in the hell Android can tell me that a SD card is corrupt after it already told me that it was no longer in my phone is a mystery to me...

This is the second time I started experiencing this issue. The first time was with a 32GB class 4 SanDisk card that I think WAS becoming corrupt because Check Disk would find issues with that card, so I ended up replacing it with the card I am using now (less than 2 months ago). So... is my card failing? Or is there any reason that Android would report an SD card damaged when it is not?

I would really prefer if the card was failing, because then I would at least know how to fix the issue (get a new card). However, I am not willing to get a new sd card every couple months just because Android has sd card issues. The only recent (major) changes I have made to my phone before this issue started up again was installing the V6 SuperCharger script and changing from Busybox v1.20.0 to Busybox v1.20.2. I am likely going to remove those and see if this clears up, but is there a reason that Android would be falsely reporting a sd card as damaged or is it a sure sign of a failing card?

Mostly happens when the SD card is not what it says, it is, (like imitations) , anyway here is some insight

Hi guys , its me again ... well i have a big problem.I recently owned a Kindle fire ,but i gave it to my brother who went away for a while . He came back with the divice telling me that the hard drive had crashed. I thought it was not a big problem so i tried to fix it. I turned it on and saw the blue kindle fire letters (because it's rooted) and then afterwards it said boot and then the screen would just go blank.
