Didn't work on stock and now I'm on CM10 and still not working. Defected battery? Anyone else having the same issue?
Mine is certainly hit and miss. It seems to work once or twice and then just stop. I have similar issues with wi-fi direct too. I am stock rooted BTW. My brother has a stock un-rooted phone with zero issues.

So I have a friend that has a nexus s and he's been having weird issues, he has had several replacements and done several hard resets none of which take care of the networking issue. We both work for sprint and have tried having a data refresh pulled. Esentially the phone is super sluggish and the data keeps dropping in and out. As a sprint service technician I did the usual and to me it seems that it's a 2.3.7 issue. Thoughts, opinions?
Running stock, non rooted. None of those issues are prevalent here.
only issue i noticed was gps always shows me at the same place for about a min. besides that stock has never been sluggish to me.
I feel that in my case the previous radio seem to work better. I had a few issues with network connectivity with the new radio. I'm Pete's GPA18 beta with the D720SPRKE5 Radio and that seems to work well for me.
Works fine here.

Curious, what does 'doing the usual' mean to a Sprint Tech?
I have that problem with mine and i running superosr 2.0.4 which is a 2.3.5 rom. so i am not sure what to make of it
Okay, so I flashed Paranoid Android 2.16. Everything went great, flashed fine. But I could not get wifi to work at all. It would turn of and back on randomly, would not connect to any network, etc. So, I flashed the ROM by Team Viper. Again, flashed fine, worked fine, but Wifi would not work, it would do the same thing.
So, then I restored my nandroid backup, and wifi works grand. Is there something I missed? Stock isn't too bad on this phone, but I'm a flash junkie, and I'll miss JB on my GNex. PA works beautifully, except for the damn wifi issue.
So, any suggestions on how to get wifi to work on my custom ROMs? Loving this phone so far, I've missed HTC. The three things that would make it my *perfect* phone is SD card slot, bigger battery, and 720p screen. But the phone is gorgeous and feels amazing physically and performance wise.
Same problem...

Okay, I'm glad that it's not just me. I'm going to try again, sometime tomorrow or later today. I'm hoping that it's something that can be fixed with a little more digging, or if it's something that we need a wifi module for.
Same thing here. Just fixed a soft brick now I got utb ROM working. Flashed trick droid and WiFi is gone.

Okay, there was another post with this issue, something that I missed. But apparently it's because of the last update (ICS 4.0.4 & Sense 4.1).
Flashing ROMs over this update seems to be breaking wifi. Here's the other post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1913757
I'm having a lot of trouble with this as well. I just bought a One S a few days ago and got to work rooting, etc. After trying to install other ROMs, I can't get wifi to connect.
I have a T-Mobile version One S and can only assume it's gone through the latest updates prior to my purchase (got it through craigslist).
I have a decent idea of what I'm doing with these phones most of the time, but it seems like this time around I may need a little hand holding through the potential fixes. Like an idiot, I didn't bother to do a backup before jumping into flashing my first ROM, so I probably shouldn't be surprised that I'm having troubles.
Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated. Right now I'm just stuck here.
What info do you need and how can I find it?
Extra info:
I did try the 1.84 and 2.35 partition fixes but still couldn't get the issue resolved.
Yeah.. I flashed the international version of trickdroid and my wifi signal was great, then I flashed the TMO version (I have a tmo one s) and it messed up my wifi signal completely, weird.
Have you guys found a way to fix it? Im having the same issues with all the custom roms, I've tried several of them and even different versions of the same rom(I thought it was an issues with that rom version) but the wifi never seems to work on any rom I flash. I'm using a htc vivid with att. If you found a fix could you pm me?
I've been trying to tether a tf700 to my S3's 4g connection while at my job for about two weeks now. The problem is after a little bit of time connected, the wifi tether will drop the tab. The connection on the tab will cycle between connecting, obtaining IP address and saved. I tried another device, a phone, to see if it was the S3 or the tab and it did the same thing, indicating a problem with the S3. Note: this issue has only come up when tethering at my job. I have not seen it happen at my house, though it may be possible.
I have tried several roms including stock, JellyWiz, CleanROM and others with the same result. I followed the procedure to return the phone to vzw warranty service as a way to wipe the phone and return it to stock settings. Running Foxfi, I still had the issue.
I got a warranty replacement S3 and have left it unrooted on stock (HE based rom). Using Foxfi I was able to tether successfully for hours. It's been nice. This leads me to think of two possibilities.
1. The wipe via Odin, relock, and OTA updates somehow still didn't fix the software issue on the old phone. This seems unlikely but I'm no expert. I would think Odin would clear everything but still the problem exists.
2. It's a hardware issue. This seems unlikely because my wifi works and I have not been able to duplicate this at my house. But there is no denying that the new device works great.
The big question is, can I root/flash on the new phone without fear of it winding up like the old one?
The new phone and tab just had the same problem - unable to tether. This is a first but I rebooted both and it has cleared up. This seems to be a software issue but it's really stubborn.
Samsung says it is a hardware issue. They are sending me my third phone. I hope this works or else I'm switching to another device.
Using native tether locking lockscreen open fixes it. Settings >lockscreen>Screenlock>None. If have 15 toggle mod there is a lock toggle. Best is to use Android wifi tether that now works for TW JB roms.

Thanks for the reply. I tried it but unfortunately it only worked for about two minutes before falling into the fail loop. It should be mentioned that on the tab, I see the signal strength at full (since I'm three feet away) but when it's looping the signal drops to nothing on connect. I still have to think it may be a hardware issue.
I just hope phone #3 works as it should.
So far so good. Got the new phone and it's tethering with foxfi just fine. Not rooted yet and probably won't for several days. I'm actually wondering if I can burn this one up and get them to send me a DNA.

My phone is having the same issue, how do you go about getting a replacement from Samsung?
This is a problem I've had persistently, I'm only just now getting annoyed enough to make a post about it.
When I first got my Nexus, everything was fine and dandy. Around the end of December though, I had this weird problem where Data turns itself off after about three seconds. I can turn it back on and let it turn off again and fight with it to solve the issue, and eventually it will stop and stay on. I figured I'd give the Cyanogenmod build (at the time) a try, and that fixed it, but had it's own problems (namely bluetooth being very horribad) so I swapped back to stock and sure enough, the problem returned. I don't recall if I did a nandroid restore or a fresh install and a titanium backup of my apps at first because I did try both, neither fixing the problem.
Nexus 5 16gig black on AT&T, stock ROM, only rooted. Any extra information can be posted upon request.
-[edit]-
I installed Paranoid Android, I'll update if I still have the issue.
-[edit+]-
Yes, the issue persists. New info is Paranoid Android v 4.2-BETA1. Obviously, hardware info stayed the same.

It appears it was an issue with Juice Defender. Will update if issue persists.

Try another ROM that maybe AOSP source built, see if problem is persisting. If so, is data weak in your area for ATT and it sounds very possible your device has a hardware issue if other ROMs don't fix this. I'm running Carbon, no issues ATM. I can guarantee the CM issues and your issue are not present. If you try the ROM, problem persists, then device needs to be fixed for hardware I'd suggest.

It looks like it was an issue with Juice Defender.
Sorry I know I didn't mention that in the OP. :v
I'll post back if the issue continues now that Juice Defender is gone.

It appears that was what it was. I have had zero issues since uninstalling it, which makes me sad. I liked Juice Defender, and have been using it on my phones for several years. :c
I have a Nexus 5, running 6.0.1.. it seems fine until i download app updates, and this seems to result in all of my battery being drained.. is a problem for anyone else? If so, anyone aware of a solution?
... started to update Snapchat before and then BAM! Dead! (i have a screenshot, though apparently i can't post it until after 10 posts?)
Is it running stock 6.01? How old is the battery? Does it happen over wifi and 3g/4g too?

Yeah stock, well idk about 3g/4g tbh, just update over Wi-Fi .. battery is the original, idk i guess i have had the phone for a year or two? Probably the latter...
Hmm, could be a battery issue but you won't know for sure unless you swap out the battery for a known working unit.
