Hi,
My S6 seems to always ask for the WiFi password whenever I turn the WiFi on and connect it to my (presumably) saved networks. So when I turn on my WiFi at home, it always asks me for my password, same with work, other saved locations etc. This problem has only started occuring from last week, before I had the problem of WiFi not automatically connecting to the network when WiFi was turned on. I would need to turn it on, and manually press connect on the WiFi page without asking for the WiFi password again.
Any idea why this could be happening?
Same here... I connect to a wifi network and if I disconnect wifi whenever I turn wifi on it keeps asking for the password...
Anyone...?

Same here. No one has actually found a fix for that?
Bump
Haven't found a fix yet... Are we the only ones? Have you imported from an old galaxy or a google bakcup. Let's see what else we have in common
I'm not sure but I don't think I restored anything form google.
I have the same problem. I think it started when I updated to 5.1.1 some months ago. I have found nothing on the internet, not even other people having this problem, other than you!
I never tried updating to another version neither restoring because I'm rooted but I think it's the only way it could solve the problem...
I got the same thing. I had it with my S4 too. Were you able to fix it?
Nope I abandoned and never tried a restore. I was root so I got along with it. Ended changing up with the 6S
If your phone is rooted then you could try this:
-Using file explorer go to root>>system
-Edit build.prop
-look for "ro.securestorage.support=true"
- Change the value from 'true' to 'false'
-Save the file and exit
-Reboot your phone
This worked for me.
working with the below solution thank you bro

Hi, i also have the same issue with my s6. I found that when you switch the plane mode off and then on again while your wifi is on, the phone does not ask for the password. It connects automatically. This should not happen for sure, but it's a faster solution than typing passwords..
S6 keep forgetting wi Fi.
I am getting 2 problems with my galaxy s6.
1. Every time I have to put wifi password. To connect to wifi. It's keep forgetting wifi. Turning off and turning wi fi takes long than usual.
2. It's showing security issues and keep asking to restart. Saying some unauthorised application accessing. I belive that's knox. I have forced stopped it but it's keep showing errors.
I tried to change build.prop. but it's showing error.
Please help
Maybe it's another application you downloaded... As for the wifi try what's been suggested above. What firmware are you on?

help him plz.
I have exactly the same issue with a Galaxy I recently bought. Have you found a sustainable solution for both issues?

It said connected in the wifi setting and it shows bars but it just won't load any website in the browser .. anyone got a fix for this?
I have the same issue. Tried different combinations of restarting wifi, turning on/off cell data, on/off wifi calling, etc... all with no result. I've also tried on different networks (both public and private)-- it'd start working for a while and then all of a sudden stop and never work again.
Seems similar to the problem here: forums. t-mobile.c om/t5/T-Mobile-G2x/G2x-WiFi-DNS-issue-not-the-4G-switching-one/m-p/831439 (sorry there's a new user no link restriction)
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

is it specific to the browser or can you not move any data?
Idk, whenever I have had problems connecting to the tmo network, which is a separate issue.. it was always that wifi calling was still on even tho wifi was turned off. Every time I had probs w/ data on tmo network, it's been wifi calling.. Your case seems to be diff tho.
Is it specific to just your network or all other networks? Try shutting off wifi, reboot... then turn it on again? Idk.. just tossing out ideas.
Some found the root cause and I am posting his finding as I do have the same issue and can reproduce the error:
I think I have discovered a new WiFi-related bug in the G2x's software. I have witnessed this occurring on my phone, and have also reproduced it on a store demo unit. I believe it is unrelated to the switching-to-4G problem people are having with the My Account app, since it occurs even if I have set up the Google account on first boot after a factory reset.
The details of the problem are:
- Every so often, the phone randomly gets stuck in a state where it is not able to initiate any new connections that are made using a DNS name. Attempting to navigate to a web site, h**p://w*w.google.c*m for example, will result in a generic failure message.
- However, attempting to connect directly to an IP address instead of a DNS name works perfectly. For example, navigating to 74.125.225.16 will work fine and will load the Google home page.
- When the phone is in this state, using a DNS lookup tool such as "DNS Lookup" from the Marketplace *will* work, even when using the default DNS server address that the DHCP server is giving the phone.
- The problem has occurred for me when data is off and WiFi is on. I do not know if data being off is a requirement, since this is the way I usually run the phone, so this may be coincidental.
- Switching WiFi off and back on again will *sometimes* work to solve the problem, but sometimes will not. When this doesn't work, switching WiFi off, then switching data on, then back off again, and then finally switching WiFi back on again will occasionally correct the problem. However, I have seen situations where none of these things worked, and the only way to get DNS working again was to factory reset the phone.
- I haven't figured out the exact pattern yet, but this issue seems to occur when the phone has been inactive for a certain period of time. I have often discovered that the phone is in this state upon waking up in the morning after leaving the phone on the charger overnight.
- I have, however, found a method to reproduce the problem that seems to work fairly consistently:
1. Turn WiFi on, and data off.
2. Power cycle the phone.
3. When the phone starts up, start the browser and attempt to browse to w*w.google.c*m. It should fail.
4. Try to browse to 74.125.225.16. It should work.
Just wanted to get this issue in the forums to see how many others have been noticing the same thing.
I know that once the device has less than 10% battery it automatically turns the WiFi off to save battery power. Were the devices this was happening on have a low battery?
Fully charged. It even happens when pluged in with the charger.
My Wifi wouldn't even work if I froze it with Bloat Freezer. It has to run in the background for wifi to work. I found that Wifi can get really inconsistent with it disabled.

Same problem here. After about 30 minutes of being idle, as soon as I pick up the phone it tries to connect 2g/4g. The log are saying theres no connection, so it appears that wifi its going to sleep and not waking up so android is trying to connect 2g/4g
Really starting to be a pain
I have frozen the bloat, and I think the problem is getting worse.
Toggle airplane mode is a quick workaround to get wifi to wake up
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Same thing happened to me, I did 2 factory resets, and it seems it has been fixed, don't really know what causes it.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
This may or may not be related, but...
It looks like I found a hacky fix for the dns/wifi/4g bug: install "Set DNS" from the market.
Now when I go into market, and display my downloaded apps, it jumps from wifi to 4g then back to wifi as it should, fast.
Whether or not it should even do go to 4g is debatable, all I can say is my 2 Galaxy Tabs had the same behavior.
If everyones connectivity issues are really due to the DNS settings getting wiped out, then this will work around the problem until I/we find the location of the actual bug.
Would you guys having this problem also post it here?
http://www.lgforum.com/forum/boards/general/lg/topics/g2x-wifi-problems
Thanks.
I figure the more people that post there, the more the chances are of LG fixing it quickly.
Work around:
enable airplane mode
reboot
enable wifi
wait a few seconds after the wifi connects, background crap stops
disable airplane mode.
The set dns app looks like a winner. Haven't tried it but that's what's
wrong.
The freezing and other suggestions are all useless crap.
Updates...
I did a factory reset and installed JuiceDefender (I don't know which one worked) but it seems to be all fine now... will update if things become problematic again
I've been having this problem as well. I've always been able to fix it by toggling WiFi off and back on again. I downloaded SetDNS and when it happened again last night I tried that and it worked great.
Glad to see it's a software problem and not a hardware problem.
same problem here. hopefully it won't happen in cyanogen mod

This fixed the problem, at least until the next time I reboot my phone
How do you use SetDNS? This software bug in G2X reboots my router (DGL-4500) sometimes.
Question bout SetDNS app
Does the phone have to be rooted to use the setdns app? I try to use it but it says "Cannot get root. App will not function."
Hej there,
tried to connect at work to our wifi router. First it was just searching for ip adress. After this Wifi turned of and just shower "error" down under the wifi activation point.
Now I`ve tried to reset to factory default and many other things. Everytime I turn my device back on I`ve the same message and wifi still doesn`t work.
Please help me. Its driving me crazy!
(sorry for my english... stupid german )
Thanks guys
1+ I'm having similar issues with the WIFI, but is it only on some routers (not all).
also interested in any help...
There`s something in the internet that says you have to delete the dhcp_list file in this folder "/data/misc/dhcp" but I don`t know how to connect from windows in the root system of my tab. I have rooted my tab but now I don`t know how to install apps without wifi. Anyway I had it rooted before and the root explorer doesn`t work
maybe someone hast good suggestions.
Is there any way to force a firmware update? Or is there another way to delete or reconfigure the wifi connection. I can`t connect to any wifi point
OK,... good news. Found a way to fix the Wifi Error.
Download Odin3 and the actual Firmware for you GT7p. Then put the device in download mode and connect to the computer. Flash the firmware again and then make a factory restore in recovery mode.
Here we go... on my device everything is working fine and i rooted it again.
Hope this helps.
Found the tutorial I used here in the forum. Just search for p6210 firmware and be happy
Had a very similiar problem just with my home router for 2 days (first time connected and remembered, but after that still searching and out of reach...). Always had to turn off router and turn it on. Battery was drained in couple of hours due to this. Then just rebooted and uninstalled launcher I was using and voallaa...Since then wifi works properly everywhere (btw with very strong signal in comparison with any other device I had before).
So dont't know exactly what happened, but so far so good...
Hey,
I have a problem after updating my (tab 2 Wifi-3G 10.1) to Android 4.2.1. the tablet was working so well while and after updating, but after that I wake up and I had anoyning problem. the problem is when I click on the setting and try to turn on the wifi it shows only (turning wifi on...) and nothing happening. it feels like the wifi cannot start or establish the connenction, therefore no available wifi routers or Hotspots can be listed.
What happened the last two days, I tried to check if the tablet will work again after 2 weeks no charge and drain all the battery, SO IT REALLY WORKED BUT ONLY FOR 5 MIN and the problem came back again.
I downgrade to Android 4.0.4, tried fix apps like "FIX MY WIFI" it says (cannot enable the Wifi -unknown issue), also download the patch file " wpa_supplicant" and changed the wifi setting for standby policy to (allways on), all these steps did not really helped or fixed this problem.
XDA and google didnt really gave me the good answer and there are many android tablets with similer problem.
I hope someone knows about this problem and could share the solution
I just received two Galaxy Tab 2 (P3113) tablets and I am experiencing a similar sounding issue as you. I personally own one already so I am able to check on certain parameters to see where exactly it is failing. What I have found is this:
On my good working GTab I can see my WiFi mac address even when it's turned off (the WiFi mac address is 1 digit higher than BT). On the two I recently received both display the mac address as "Unavailable". Can you check yours to see if you even have a mac address? Goto settings, about tablet, status or under WiFi goto advanced and see if it is displayed.
Once upon a time I had a Sprint Galaxy Nexus and I had an issue with randomizing mac address on reboot. I was able to pull a partition called param, Hex edit it so it could retain the real mac address and then flashed it back. This hardware is slightly different and I am not expert on how to do this but maybe someone on here will have an idea on how to do this.
There's always the possibility that the WiFi chip is just dead. I'm gonna keep looking for a solution and if I find one I'll pass it on to you.

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.
I am seeing the same issue, I did not touch my screen in the following video
Video on Dropbox
disabling "Wi-Fi scanning" in location helps.
Hi,
I had the same issue before.
What I did was(Not sure how its displayed in english):
-Settings;
-Backup and Reset
-Reset network settings
I was having constant disconnections from wifi and it solved it.

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.
Hey, guys I just got my Pixel 2.
I connected it wifi but it keeps losing it. Only if I reset my router it will keep the connection for a while, but somehow when
I get to work or in the morning the same issue appears again. It connects but when I go to an app which requires wifi it drops.
I tried to change the channel but didn't work as well.
Restarting the phone won't help either. I also don't want to factory reset it since I want to keep all my data etc. I don't want to go all that bs.
Maybe I should have stuck with a new iPhone after all. Sorry for that comment, but I'm really frustrated
I don't want to give it back or some ****, I just want to fix it easily so I can move on. I hope I get some advice here.

this can help:
phone ::: Go to setting > wifi > advance > If there is Freq option then change it to 2.4Ghz
router (in case no option on phone) ::: go to Wifi setting of your router and disable 5Ghz. I can help more If I know model of your wifi router
:good:
I'm having the same exact problem as OP. I thought for a second I wrote the post. Would love to see if there's a solution. I don't see the option to change frequency in wifi settings. And this issue for me occurs on different WiFi networks.. so it's not just one router. Ugh!
Exactly the same issue here, which is what has lead me to this thread. It often happens that my phone switches to mobile data suddenly while working absolutely fine on Wi-Fi. I have tried almost every basic solution but condition remains the same. Also during that time it stop showing me my (saved) Wi-Fi in the Wi-Fi network available, while at the same time my same Wi-Fi is connected to all the other devices in my house. This needs a fix.
still no fix
