How to disable "Network disabled because internet connection is slow" on Galaxy
Normally, this feature wouldn’t be a big deal: if your WiFi network was slow, it would just transfer you to your cellular network until the connection gets back to speed. But if you want to disable, it's easy.
To disable this feature:
Long press on the WiFi toggle button
Hit MENU
Hit ADVANCED
UNcheck AUTO NETWORK SWITCH

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This will disable the “Network disabled because internet connection is slow” message that appears under the disconnected SSID and will allow you to use WiFi without being disconnected.

Wow thank you so much! This has seriously been passing me off since I got my s4. I got a wifi extender without a whole lot of bandwidth so every time I am downloading something on my computer it shuts my phones wifi off. I live in a rural area without 3g so basically it shuts down my phones internet. Anyway thanks again. Also I hope that's your picture cuz your hot and just fixed this that's been irritating the living hell outta me haha.

Device: Atom Life from Mwg running stock wm6 rom
since a few days ago every time i turn the wifi on and go into to select networks i dont get that screen anymore. like my home wifi works cuz it has the password. but i cant connect to other networks :S
This might have something to do with me deleting the profiles for wifi networks i dont use anymore. Thats the last time i saw the profiles screen.
i did this due to my ppc connecting on its own to a wifi when antena was off ..more like a pc wifi signal and that annoyed me so i poked around and deleted the profile of that network and others from past.
since then i cannot see even the wifi icon in the top bar all i see is the <-> arrows but with out the antenna in the background i.e <-I->
nor can i find that page where i deleted the network profiles from :S
where is it ?? i think it comes on only when the <-I-> is present.
is this a symptom of something?
u see i do not get this:

I think it's when you have a data connection (or wi-fi) on, the signal bar turns green. Data connection off it's white.

I guess the data connection is not always on. What I have been looking in to it, it only gets white, when I don't have the connection active.
green - connected to google sync servers
white - not connected to google sync servers
Thankss very much... so its normal when bar get white or something wrong with my phone?

depends on the quality of service your provider is providing...
mine is normally green all the time but if I saw it going on and off all the time ( excluding me switching between wifi and 3g all the time ofcourse ) I suspect there something wrong with my data connection... bad reception, inactive connections get closed ( some providers do this ), bad service quality

Hi Everyone,
I have a weird problem with my connections since upgrading to ICS. (Stock / Virtuous Inq / IC Sense 3.6 / IC Sense 4). 3G Data is used whenever the phone wants to get an estimate about my whereabouts. All active wifi connections are dropped at that stage. (Really annoying with cSipSimple)
Steps to reproduce:
- Enable 3G and WiFi, connect to WiFi
- Enable Google Location Services
- Start an app that tries to get your rough location, like Facebook or Speedtest.net
You can see the E/3G/H icon appearing and also see that data is being sent. Worse, all the apps are using this connection now (the WiFi connection seems invalid at that point). It takes about 5 to 10 seconds, then this 3G data connection is being dropped causing the apps to lose the connection to their servers. The phone then switches back to WiFi until it uses the location services again.
Can anyone confirm this behaviour?
Is there already a solution to this? I didn't find one. I could go and deactivate Mobile Data everytime I log on to a WiFi, but I really don't want to spend so much time thinking about how to use my phone and just use it... maybe a little app?
I did find an app called Smart Data Switch which has an option for what seems to be working for me

It's called "wifi preferred" and deactivates the 3G Network every time I connect to a wifi network. As soon as the connection drops, it reenables 3G data. With this, I do not suffer those problems in Facebook anymore... but is it worth 1,29€ or is there an alternative solution?
When you enable apps that check your location (why would you let facebook do that??) it then needs the 3G to check aainst the cell for you position
So it can't use wifi and 3g together therefore wifi goes off whilst it logs onto the cell for you position
Change the settings for the apps if you enable gps as you location (again why for facebook it knows avery thing about you except when you scratch your self anyway) it can stay logged onto wifi and power up gps - no loss of signal for you
Tbo I can't remember what I set, but for me (not facebook) what happens is
I'm on wifi - open up app that uses my location - gps fire up - picks up location
- gpss closes down - apps continue to have a connection - no loss of service/time and no frustration
If you rom can't do this condiser trying one that can
Anybody else having trouble with the WiFi not turning back on after waking from sleep? I'm using the "Only when plugged in" option for "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" to conserve power.
What I'm seeing is when I am connected to a WiFi network and then lock the phone long enough for the WiFi to turn off, the WiFi will say it's on in the settings menu but won't show any available networks even if I hit "Scan". The only way to reestablish the connection is to toggle the WiFi on and off.
I've disabled Smart Actions because I thought that was interfering but it didn't help. I've also booted into Safe mode with the same problem.
My router is a Linksys WRT54GS. The settings are: SSID broadcasting, WPA2 Personal (AES), G-only.
I've attached before lock and after wake screenshots to show what I'm seeing.

I kind of see the same thing. Wi-Fi works fine until I leave the range of the router (e.g.leave the house to go to the store). Upon my return I see the same thing your screen shot shows. Turning off wi-fi and turning it back on solves the problem No other phone I've ever owned has ever done this.
I've tried auto connect, leave it on and off during sleep, reset the router and nothing has had any effect.
So it's not just me. I wonder if this is present on all phones or if we just got a bad batch.
EDIT: Well... for some odd reason the WiFi came back on from a sleep just now. I don't remember changing anything other than installing the 4.2 camera and changing the build.prop to a Galaxy Nexus. I shall investigate further.
EDIT 2: Could this perhaps be an ICS issue? (I came from a DROID X with GB) I ask because a GSIII in our house seems to be doing the same thing.
Not sure. My GS III will connect automatically without fail. I just got home with the Razr Maxx HD and had to go through the off and on routine to make it connect. I had the GS III last evening and it reconnected as usual once I got home.
There's an extensive thread on the Moto support forum where everyone is complaining about the wifi signal dropping randomly when connected. You are the only other person I've seen with our issue.
I haven't played with the GSIII extensively so it might have been a fluke that it did that.
I did see that thread but the Motorola support site has been loading very slowly on my end so I haven't been able to look through the whole thing due to my impatience with it.
Something's definitely wrong with the site. There's a thread for that as well LOL.
Hi, I'm trying to solve this constant battery drain issue from my phone radio signal, my mobile data is off and I've turned off 'Keep mobile data alive' in developer setting.
I've a rather weak LTE signal in my housing area ranging around -106db (yellow range). I've tried band locking but my carrier only have 1 band (band 3) available in my area and they are going to remove 3g end of this year.
I'm looking for suggestion or solution like stop boosting the transmitter strength when the reception is low/bad or applying a transmitter threshold. Thanks.

Try a network reset.
Clear system cache.
Try in safe mode to see if it's a 3rd party app.
Any cloud or backup apps running?

I've tried the afore-mention methods except the clear system cache thingy. I forgot to say that if I turn on airplane mode the 'Phone Radio' doesn't consume any battery anymore despite having wi-fi turned on.
Ummm, look at your stats.
>.4%@hr at night. Phone standby uses the most power at night but not much...
Here are all of the options in Settings that may help in the order they appear in the app, but not necessarily the best priority.
Settings -> Network & internet -> Mobile network
Disable "Roaming"
Disable "VoLTE"
Disable "5G Network"
Set "Preferred network type" to the highest known available speed (as in if you don't have 4G, select the one that tops out at 3G).
You could also disable "Automatically select network" and choose the specific network you want to connect. Keep in mind, this setting will also limit you to that network even when it is not the best connection.
The drain is not THAT much greater than any phone with decent reception. Honestly, turning on Airplane mode with Wifi when you know the reception is bad and you can use it is really the best option. Both have statusbar tiles that are much easier than going in and selecting networks or changing network types, unless they are always the same everywhere.
