Blind wifi-help please - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I own a Note 3 N900A ATT and it will not connect to any network or see them ´, it seems to be blind.
My phone is not rooted yet, does it have anything to do with it?

You do not have to be rooted to connect to WiFi. You might have to manually connect to Wi-Fi or do a factory reset.

Or you might have a phone with a bad wifi radio.
If you have a wifi router running in your house and you turn wifi on (on the phone), you should see the signal from the router within 5 seconds.
(Of course if there are no wifi routers in the vicinity you won't see any signals. You have to provide the wifi signal, the carrier doesn't. Some people think it just comes with the phone service.)

Do you have wireless internet? Is the WiFi on your phone actually turned on?

I have this problem too. Glad to see you are unrooted and stock. I had deleted many .apk's and thought it was something I did.
Just get an app from the play store to fix it for the time being.

thanx i did a factory reset and it started "seeing" all networks available :good:

wifi
Factory reset is a pain on the neck, I solved this issue by turning flight mode on, the restarting and as the phone restarts on flight mode I turned the wifi on and it sees everything now. give it a try :fingers-crossed:

A little help with internet.

So, my internet has been dead for 1 1/2 days now. First hour I though maybe sprint network was down or something? I dunno. But now I cant even get a connection. Calls are still being made, incoming/outgoing. I have The newest fresh rom 2.1, with the new radio. I've checked the settings, all internet connection related is turned on. So whats happening?

=] Get your ass back to Giz. and in the IRC... NOW.
I can verify that this is happening with me as well. Only happens when I try to run wireless tether, my data connections is completely gone for some time, even though data is enabled. I upgraded my friends phone to the sprint leaked version (no root required) and she too is ha ving problems w/ her data connection. Any ideas?
Tried on DamageControl 2.08 as well as Fresh 2.0d same outcome w/ the wireless tether, as soon as the it connects it completely shuts off the data connection in my phone. Wireless tether worked prior to this happening.
Well you see, its like this. The internet... well, its not a big truck. Its not something you just DUMP something on. The internet.. its a series of tubes!
JK. Seriously though, toggling airplane mode on and off should fix you right up.
Thanks a lot, definitely resets the data connection for the phone. Any tips to get wireless tether to work properly again ?

[Q] Issue in connecting to 2G/3G/H/H+

Hi,
I am using Note for more than 2 months now. I was using N1 before. And I had the same issue with N1 also.
Issue is,
In my work place, there are some area where no mobile would get a network. I used to stay connected always. But due to this network issue, my internet would get disconnected but would not get connect again when the network is back.
As I said I had this same issue with N1 but I normally toggle the Flight Mode to bring it back. But in Galaxy Note, this workaround is not working. I have to restart the mobile to get connected.
Does anyone have solution for this issue?

I don't know what you are asking. The issue is the connection gets lost when there is no network. But it's not re-connecting once the network is back. I have to restart the mobile to get the connection.

i meant is it happening only in your office or even in other place too..??
Try with different network. (AIRTEL/BSNL/IDEA or any other)
I think this is an intermittent android problem. I have no signal in my flat, and sometimes when i go out it doesn't reconnect properly, and i need to restart before i get texts/voicemails that i missed while inside. Its an occasional problem, and only happens sometimes. And usually it happens when i spend an entire day indoors so the phone has been without signal for some time.
This also happened on my hd2 with gingerbread and Ics. And also happens on my gfs HTC salsa. It's not a note specific problem as far as i can tell.

You are right. I had the same problem with my N1 too. But I never restart in my N1. Toggling the Flight Mode will bring back the connection. But its not working in Note.
i have this issue after i receive MMS.
i just go to settings, wireless and network, mobile networks, access point names, tap on my web connection (vf web since im on vodafone AU), and then just hit back. the 3g logo will disappear and then reappear as the phone reconnects to the correct wireless access point.

Wifi suddenly doesn't work anymore

I'm new to Android and was attempting to root the phone last night. I got the recovery installed but had to sleep before I had the chance to finish the root. I left for work this morning and my 3G was all fine but when I came back home the wifi had stopped working completely. It registers as connected and shows full bars of signal but every app just states that there is no connection.
Could this have something to do with the root (which I completed on 3G just now)? It seems strange that it just cut out from one day to the next.
Root has nothing to do with wifi . this would have happened even if you were not rooted
So is there anything I can do to fix this issue? It's only the phone that can't connect to the wifi

I tried all of those to no avail but I just tried to reset my router again and that seemed to have fixed the problem. Weird. Thanks though :good:

No wifi networks after going from 11A to 24A

I've tried airplane mode, nothing. No networks show up at all. Any ideas?

How did you upgrade and what rom did you go to?

XDABBEBs rom. I just activated the wifi hotspot, and when I did that the networks popped up. Weird. It just seems really laggy for finding wifi. It keeps searching but nothing showed up. Hopefully just a fluke.
Not a fluke. Wifi and even GPS seem really spotty with working. I get home and wifi doesn't connect for 20 minutes sometimes.

update your mobile using lg mobile update tool with recovery update option... after installation format your set /// i hope it will work for you....

Reboot is always required to use internet.

This is very inconvenient. If I disconnect from WiFi or LTE, then reconnect, apps do not detect the netwoork unless I reboot first. Has anyone experienced this problem or have a solution?

Have you tried changing the Wi-Fi band on your router ?

Never thought of doing that. I don't think that would be a complete solution though, because on LTE the issue still exists; it is not just a problem on WiFi.
Are you using some extreme power saving options/solutions/aps etc etc ?
Change wifi to 4G and try again.

Last nite I installed the OTA update of android 9. Since then the problems have been non existant. I will continue to update this post, and try all the tips I have been offered, if the problem returns.
I found the source of the problem. The VPN I use was preventing the apps from accessing the Internet.
