Hello, I've recently got my hands on J7-PRIME which is an awesome phone but I have a lot of Wi-Fi issues with it, also weak cellular signals on it, for instance, I usually connect and chat with friends on another room which is not far away from the router, but Wi-Fi shows no bars and constantly disconnects by itself and unable to reconnect, shows a very weak reception, untill I change my spot, thought this issue is caused by the router, brought my cousin's XPERIA Z1 and she gets 2 bars and works like charm from the same spot where I get none bars and disconnection usually, I googled some solution and found that turning off WiFi power save mode could fix it, I tried doing so, but I cannot seem to find any option do disable it once I dial *#0011#, plz aid me through this issue, regards, Have a nice days lads

Hi all,
I have HTC One S from T-Mobile and noticed a big problem with my WiFi connection.
My phone will connect automatically to the wifi network in my home/work correctly, but when I leave and am clearly out of range of my wifi network (say, a km away), the phone still claims to be connected to the network, but I of course have no actual connectivity. The signal strength it reports has varied, from full strength to just a few bars.
I try giving it a minute, but it seems stuck and refuses to officially disconnect from the network. The only way to fix things is to toggle my wifi on and off, at which point it goes to mobile data since it can't find any wifi networks to connect to.
The thing is that I use Wireless Bluetooth headphones and since I started using my new phone, the signal drops (I believe it is because of the Wi-Fi not disconnecting from the network and is causing disruptions to the bluetooth connection).
Any ideas how to resolve this issue? Thanks.

Hey guys I still cant connect to my works WiFi.
From the WiFi settings menu. When ever I try to connect it does nothing but says "saved"
My nexus 4 and 7 never had issues. IPhone connect just fine and other people with android phones either connect or can't
I need help, and the WiFi and whole network gets power cycled every weekend. It is a large WiFi network with the same ssid broadcasted from many repeaters throughout the plant
Were you able to solve this?
Wifi working fine on laptop and wifes phone. I noticed that mine was dropping in and out since I updated to Lollipop on my Xperia Z3 two weeks ago. Today,its really bad-wifi icon displays for about 10 seconds then drops out for about 10,then comes in again etc. Reset the router, changed channel, no joy. Anyone else experience this?Anyone got a fix?
Tried deactivating stamina?
Yep, it's deactivated. Still doesn't fix it. It's very annoying. Only noticed it since Lollipop update. Anything else I can try?
EDIT-Just been reading online that baby monitors may interfere with wifi.......I've 2 baby monitors for my toddler and newborn......would this be causing my wifi to drop in and out???I've tried all 13 channels on my Sky broadband router but no luck....
My wifi drops in/out when the signal is poor so it may be related to the babyphones?
I've turned the 2 baby monitors off and wifi on z3 still dropping in and out. What next?? Is my phone damaged?

Try safe mode (Long press the power button, then long press the power off button onscreen, click ok) and see if the problem persists.
Have you tried different routers? Have you tried turning laptop/wife's phone into a hotspot and connecting to that? Get an app like wifi analyser and see it looks like your wifi is acting normal there. Is wifi turning off or is it just disconnecting from the router (the icon might be misleading).
It's staying on now in safe mode, thanks! But why is that happening? I did a factory reset as I thought phone was broken! Pity, I should have waited for your advice!
Edit, unstable again. Coming in and out.
Tried again this morning in safe mode. Problem still there. Wifi turns on then icon goes off and it searches and connects again. Then goes off etc. I downloaded wifi analyser but don't know what to do now?? I'm not very tech minded.
I'll look up how to turn laptop into hotspot. Thanks for your help so far.
PS -I just remembered that the Bluetooth on the phone kept connecting and disconnecting in my car this week.... Would that have anything to do with the wifi issue?
EDIT- downloaded virtual router plus to use laptop as hotspot-problem still there,connecting then disconnecting. Is the phone broken?
my S7 edge was running all good
but recently i found that when i connect to the Wifi it will swap between Wifi and 4G randomly
i already turned off the smart switch function but problem is still there.
anyone can help?
Sounds like you have a problem with either the router in the house disconnecting, or the phone can't keep WiFi enabled
Hi. Recentlly I bought a Samsung S7(G930A - AT&T version) as refurbished one. I found a big issue what hurts me a lot. Here are some issues with wifi:
I could not really connect to a lot of WIFI networks, it says "connecting" after that it drops and cycle begins once again infinitly.
On several networks it shows "authentication error occured" , although wifi is public and another devices connects to than one.
On several networks, it connects but connection is very slow(0).. only way to make a better connection, is to put phone on router...awful...
On one networks which i tried, it worked ok..it's an 5ghz wifi. although, not for a long distance from router.
I installed all updates, tried troubleshots from internet with bluetooth, reset and everything..but no success at all... Now I think that problem is really in hardware... Had anyone such issues ? Any solutions to fix ?
Please help...

I had frequent wifi connection authentication errors when connecting with my home wifi and slow Internet loading speeds with my Galaxy tablet, but all my other wifi devices connect consistently without errors.
The steps below solved a similar problem with my Samsung Galxy Note 10.1, and it might help with your Galaxy 7. Some of the steps may vary with your device, but the goal is to set wifi Poxy Settings to NONE, and IP Settings to DHCP. It completely resolved my home wifi authentication error and slow spped when browsing.
For the Galaxy Note 10.1: Settings> WiFi> long press the SSID/router name(the wifi you want to connect to)> Modify Network Config> check the box "Show Advanced Options">set proxy settings to "None" -- set IP settings to "DHCP"> Save.
Now my wifi connection with the Galaxy note 10.1 are quick, consistent, and Internet pages load fast.
I hope this is helpful.
