Very strange, for the last couple of days I cannot connect to the android store/amazon store/facebook through wifi, it just says no connection [retry]
The browser works, but these apps do not (other do not as well) I have rebooted, restored from a previous backup, forced the wifi to forget, and tried it on two different wifi networks with no success...
Anyone seen this before, I really hate to do a factory restore

Did you try clearing the data from those apps? Also, it might be a problem with your network blocking the ports that they communicate on. I would try from a different location and see if the problem persists

I saw somewhere else on the forum (can't find link right now) to check your date and time. Sometimes when the battery is completely drained the time/date goes wacky and causes issues with secruity certificates.
Hope this helps.

Yep it decided to drain itself Sunday night (still don't know why) and that was the cause... the time was one hour behind but the date was wrong... didn't even notice that... and that fixed the problem
THANK YOU!
Hi All,
I got the Lollipop 5.1 OTA 2 days ago and installed it - everything went smooth and the phone working fine...
But I noticed that if I reboot my router (or turn it off / on again) the Wifi don't reconnect unless I turn on the screen (the second I turn on the screen the wifi connect normally).
I didn't have this issue with Lollipop 5.0.1
P.S.
I know that this is happening because I have a led on my router telling me if any of my Wifi devices is connected or not. And to make sure I also entered the router settings to see if my phone is connected or not.
Anyone noticed that issue with the new lollipop 5.1 ?
Cheers,
I think that your problem is not switching off the router. The problem is when your phone goes to suspension (screen off) and then it drops the wifi off.
My Nexus 5 with 5.1 is doing the same

I've got some similar behaviour here, both when updated from 5.0, and with a fresh install from the factory images. When I arrive at a place with known WiFi, the phone only connects once I turned on the screen. After that, it stays connected until I move out of range and back again.
It's probably a matter of responsiveness/battery life. The more it polls for networks, the more battery it uses. It should connect, even with the screen off, within a few minutes.
That being said, I have my wifi set to always stay connected, and I've seen it not connected when I turned the screen on, then connect a couple seconds later. So, there's that. Curious how often it does that.

That's what I suspected. Sometimes, the waiting game works, but I've had my N5 lying on my desk – where it usually gets full WiFi bars – for about 40 minutes the other day, still it did not connect until I turned the screen on.
Edit: Just now, my phone disconnected from WiFi when the screen turned off, which leads me to believe that this is all caused by the WiFi sleep policy. Could it be that Google messed up something there?

My "research" has led me to believe this is the case.
Anything in terms of a workaround?
I came across those settings in the developer options (see screenshot), especially the "Always allow WiFi Roam Scans" looked promising. Been playing with them, but so far no luck.
Hi All,
exactly the same issues as yours guys are happening since I received the OTA 5.1 and installed it !
I Guess something messed up with this new update in regard of the wifi... as you mentioned.
If you come across a workaround or a confirmation from "Google" please share.
Cheers,
(With almost everyone nowadays having data ..it is difficult to notice such a behavior due to the fast wifi/data switching)
I have seen this happen as well. My battery graph will even show a missing area for WiFi indicating it turned itself on and off twice within a few hours and then stayed on after that.
Google just now released LMY47I, has anyone had a chance to see if that version fixes our problem? Once I'm off work (in about 8 hours), I'll give it a whirl and report back.

Could you please elaborate on that? I'm familiar with Tasker, but I can't think of a way of dealing with this, since I'm not sure what actually happens with the WiFi. The settings appear untouched.

I'm sorry, but my phone is now in the service center , and press that I do not remember specifically . The idea is that when you disable wifi, a time interval is forced to connect to a particular network . Look presence on the internet , here is full of instructions.

Almost all of the changes on these different builds are SIM related for specific carriers.
LMY47I was only released to LGD821 devices with SIM cards from Indian and Australian carriers
Same problem here. I am slowly losing faith in Google. Get the frickin basics going guys!!!
Back to my 5.0.1 build.
I've gone back to 5.0.1, too. Pity, except for this I was pretty happy with 5.1. Maybe 5.1.1 will actually be usable.
Do you think it can be related to Issue 163350? code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=163350
I have just reported that, but I'm still trying to understand if it just happens to me or what.

I think the solution is "use vibrate mode on". Get your device to vibrate mod and test it.
I am waiting for your feedback.

This trick didn't work.
I have this proble too
Hi, I am trying to get an idea of how many people this is affecting.
I am on my second T-Mobile Galaxy S6. The first unit had a hardware camera defect as well as this wifi bug. I had them replace it and the new unit's camera is good but it has the same wifi issue. Here's what happens:
When I go to an area with an "open" wifi network, a notification pops up on my screen that says "Click here to connect to null." What's strange is I have almost all wifi features off, particularly "Network notification." It should not tell me when any network is available. I also have "Allow Always Scanning" off as well as Wifi Calling disabled (not that relevant). Anyway, once this happens, I have about 2 seconds to turn off wifi or else the phone will reboot. It's a "soft" restart though, meaning it shows the Samsung and T-Mobile logo then is back on again within 5-10 seconds and fully "booted" within 30 seconds. This will keep happening until I turn off wifi.
It's not just any wifi connection that will cause the issue. I think it has to be an "open" connection that uses a portal for authentication (think universities, hotels, airports, etc). Recently, I clicked on one of the notifications (connect ot null) and saw a Cisco portal. I am not sure if it's isolated to Cisco AP's
I have found about 4 people so far that have reported this issue. I am guessing we are not the only ones. I am guessing it's a software issue.
Have you seen this?
Yes, I have the exact same issue. Sadly I dont know why it's doing it or how to prevent it. I'm located in the Netherlands and when I click login the browser directs me to a KPN Fon login page.

I am very confused what's causing this. Can you confirm what settings you have enabled or disabled? Wifi calling, advanced switching, always scanning, etc? I disable everything and still get it. So it seems like it's not just Cisco login pages. It's also FON. Do you have any areas in your city that have public wifi hotspots with login pages like McDonald's or Starbucks or a university? It'd be great to see if it happens at those locations too.
I don't have wifi calling, advanced switching is disabled, always scanning is on, keep wifi alive in sleep is on. I will check when in the neighborhood of public wifi spots. to see what's happening. Only solution for me now is not using wifi, but that's not very desirable. Have you contacted Samsung about the problem?

Yes they told me the same things you'd expect. First they said to restart the device. Then clear cache. Then try safe mode. Then finally to do a factory restore. None of these items work. Just curious, is there any way you can easily give me a dump (plain text list) of your apps installed, in a PM? I wonder if it's something software related. I can do the same but I just need to find a tool that can do it.
Edit: I found an app called "List My Apps" in the Play Store. I can't link you because I don't have enough posts under my name. Hopefully I can send you a PM with my list to compare.
wifi null and reboot Samsung galaxy s6
I have the same problem like other guys. My S6 reboot continously when the wifi is on and I am I'm the City ( Zürich -Switzerland)
Then only solution was to switch of the wi fi.
Anybody else expierencing the same issue?
Regards
I'm having the exact same issue. AT&T Galaxy S6 in Southern California.
How do we get this fixed? It's not limited to a provider (that's good).
I already exchanged a unit for the camera issue. I think I am probably past my date for another exchange and quite frankly the first one was such a pain to go through, I'd prefer not to. Anyone have any ideas? I am guessing it's some sort of software issue. Something trips it up when the phone is near a captive portal.
I'm not sure swapping units will help. I did that but it didn't fix it sadly. I contacted SamsungNL and they told me to go to a Samsung repair center to show them the problem. I will try to do that next week. Until then, mobile data only.
Hi guys,
I have contacted Samsung UK and they told me to bring the phone back and ask for a new one. This is not normal and we need a replace.
In the meantime I have try to install FXR wifi Fix and Rescue from play store. Did a reset of my WiFi with this app and since then Its working everything ok. No more Reboots in the last 5 Hours. I was also in public and crossed a lot of open networks but did not report more this issue.
Give it a try.

Samsung UK support are idiots. Seriously, they tell you to return the device for software faults. I contacted them about the LTE signal showing incorrect in the settings, a clear software fault, they said to return the device.
Honestly, Samsung support is useless.
I think no way to stop it atm bcoz it is a software issue, we'll need to wait for an update. I think the baseband of wifi/bluetooth is still not stable, today I heavily played with bluetooth and got a soft reboot too.
Luckily, my HK firmware got no wifi calling and any bugs, my wifi is fine.

This seems to be working. I also ran it and it fixed the problem. I think this points towards a faulty wifi database or something.

Thanks for posting this. It's the first attempt at a solution I have found. I am going to have to agree with others and say that replacing your device did nothing to help solve the issue. I think its a software issue, perhaps with the wifi drivers or database. I tried running FXR but I won't know if it worked til I get near a captive portal. Keep this thread going guys. This problem is frustrating as heck.
So guys,
I am Happy. In the last week (After I ran the FXR app) looks like the problem is solved for me. No one reboot and any problem with. Null or open networks.
Got 920f model but im not sure is the wifi problem on my phone or not. Phone keep rebooting itself in my pocket. 10 reboots minimum during the day. Tryed flashing another rom but same nothing changet. Not sure its a hardware problem or software.
Will a replacement fix this issue? I'm about to do it tomorrow. But I'd rather not do it if it's not necessary.
UPDATE: I replaced the phone, it did not fix the issue. Seems like we need to wait for an update, unless I am extremely unlucky.

I took replaced my device, but for a real camera issue, not the wifi bug. I agree with Stolpler, running the FXR app completely fixed the issue for me.
For those new to this thread/issue, let me try to explain what's going on and why a phone replacement doesn't work.
The issue is entirely software and I think what's happening is that for some reason, a small amount of us have some corrupted entries in our wireless login database. We all know that if you get a new Android phone and sign into your Google account, all your saved wifi credentials (home, work, school, etc) will be automatically migrated over. That's why you don't have to re-enter your wifi password. For some reason, one of these entries must have gotten corrupted for some reason. Another possibility is for some reason, the way the S6 expects the data/format is different than how Android normally stores it. So say you had an entry from your Nexus 5 for a hotel login. Then now that you're on your S6, it tries to read it and it doesn't like the format so it blows up.
Now, the reason why a phone swap won't work is the moment you sign in with your Google account, it will transfer over your wifi database/settings. If you get a new phone but don't login (ever) to your Google account, I bet the wifi issue would not exist.
With all that said, really, go download and try the FXR fix. It works, it really does.
Hi,
I had an OTA update pushed yesterday and I've noticed since then, my Wifi usage has been weirdly high and is killing the battery, there doesn't seem to be a reason for it, I work right next to my router and nothing has really changed in my set up since then either.
Any ideas?

It could be updating some apps or synching data in the background, so I would suggest turning automatic app updating and syncing off.

maybe there is an app sponging your wifi , also review your location configuration

Hi,
since yesterday I have problem with wifi in my S7 (SM-G930F). It keeps turning on and off every second or two. I cannot switch it off because it keeps switching. I have rebooted my device, but it didn't help me. My phone is not rooted, it has stock 6.0.1 firmware. How to fix it? Despite it's impossible to use wifi now, it keeps draining my battery.

I saw it yesterday at work, but not authenticated. Now it is remembered in list. Sadly S7 has no option to forget networks out of range. Todays we have national holidays, but on Monday I will be at work and try to forget this network. I do not want to change rom because rom from my operator has wifi calling enabled and it is awesome.
Is there any chance that WiFi scanning is turned on? I recently saw that WiFi scanning will briefly turn my WiFi on then off repeatedly (shows with an indicator on top and I hadn't noticed that before). This first showed up when I installed Android Auto since it turned on my WiFi scanning option by default. As soon as I turned WiFi scanning off, the WiFi worked as it had before. It may be worth a look.
I've run into the same issue. Started yesterday, which may have come with the latest PJG update... Not sure.
But it's rendered my phone pretty much useless. The constant toast message popping up, saying "Network connectivity is available" gets in the way of the keyboard and I can't type a damn thing!
Like you, I've found it's stuck with reboots and a factory reset, which makes me think it could be the firmware or modem.
Edit: Disabling WiFi Scanning stopped the errors. Root cause is still unknown, though. I've never had to disable that before...

Yep. It was turned on, but I have it enabled since I bought this phone. Turning off neutralized my problem, but why it was broken for last few days when I haven't done anything with my phone? I rely on this feature because of localization accuracy and disabling it is just temporary fix.
edit:
Guys, one more thing:
do you have "Samsung Gear" app installed? I think this app is forcing to enable and disable wifi. Under localization it shows battery usage as high and it was updated last week

My phone does not have the Samsung Gear app installed. I do use Samsung Pay regularly and that was also updated (engine and app). I don't know how that would relate to WiFi though.

Turning off WiFi scanning stops the constant switching of WiFi. I tried removing the system settings permission from all the apps that had it (even the Google app) but it doesn't seem to have any effect.

Did the above solve the problem?
I am using G930F in US on ATT and encountered the same problem in past few days, where wifi kept turning on and off. Was searching this post, and found out that if i turn off wifi scanning i can get wifi to stay off (when i switched off ) and wifi on (when switched to on) and not flip back and forth.
go to settings.
- click on search
- type in improve accuracy
- select from choice
- turn off wifi scanning
Try that and hope that helps.
I have the same problem. The side effect is that it will drain the battery really fast.
As others have mentioned, after I have turned off the WiFi scanning in the location setting the problem is temporarily gone. However it should not be the solution as I really need the WiFi location to work. I don't know what is causing the bug.
P. S. I only see this problem starting from the last week or so. I leave the WiFi scanning location function on since I have bought the phone in May. Mine is Exynos version.
several Samsung devices have this issue.
I and several others have it on a note 4, and some people have also reported having this problem on S6 variants.
The problem is Google Play Services 10.0.84 version. Another cell phones with this version of Google Play Services have the same problem (ej. Google Pixel phone) but not all.
The problem is the Android Wear App. Deinstall the app and wifi works perfekt.
This issue starts with the last update of the wear app.
Hope i could help you.

I tried uninstalling Android Wear but it didn't make a difference. The wifi kept switching on and off.
As mentioned above, it's Google Play Services 10.0.84. Just disable wifi scanning until there is an update. Hopefully google won't take too long to push a fix.
