Ever since I updated my Tab to 3.2, my wifi does not automatically reconnect when I wake the Tab from sleep mode. I have to turn wifi off and back on again and then the Tab will reconnect to my router instantly. Does anyone else experience this problem?
Annoying wifi issue since 3.2 update
- Thread starter Cleanskinned
- Start date
It might just be that I am being more patient than you - but what I see is that it takes up to 30 seconds to connect. I'm not sure why.
I think it might have something to do with the router or the encryption or the fact that my SSID is hidden.
If I open the Wi-fi settings immediately after turning on, I can see my neighbour's router almost immediately - yet mine shows as being out-of-range. After a couple of scans, it detects my router, and connects.
My router is a Dlink DIR-615 Rev B, and I use WPA/WPA2 PSK with a hidden SSID

Happens to me too since the update with both my home and work networks, and neither of them are hidden. My home network has no encryption, just uses MAC filtering, work network is WPA.
It's definitely something to do with the update. It worked perfectly before and there are several people on here that have mentioned the same issue.

Happens to me and it just pisses me off.. I am kinda getting used to it but it is very annoying. I would love if someone could show us a way to fix this because we all know how fast Samsung gives us software updates...lol

I have noticed it too, just before the second update ota, the "firmware" one.
It just happened after upgrading to 3.2.
I Had to forget my network and configure it again.
Once the internet conexion established, i was proposed to upgrade this firmware part.

My GTab 10.1 has been doing this since new (3.1). The workaround I use is to set the wifi sleep policy to "Never turn off". Has no real negative effect on battery life.
Go to Settings --> Wireless and networks --> Wi-Fi Settings --> Wi-Fi sleep policy --> select "Never (uses more battery power)"

same issue on tab 10.1 but not on acer
I have the same issue on my Galaxy Tab 10.1...wake up device and no wifi for 1-2 minutes. I also have an Acer Iconia 7 inch but have no such issue...wifi reconnects within a few seconds. Definitely not a router issue. Contacted Samsung and of course they say they have never heard this before, but I can send it in under warranty and have 3.2 reflashed on the device which just seems ridiculous. I think everyone having this issue should start blowing up Samsung's tech support phone lines until they admit this is a real issue and develop a fix. I also wonder if this will be fixed with the ICS update (whenever that happens) or if it is an issue with Samsung tweaking Android with Touchwiz which will undoubtedly be integrated into their "version" of ICS.
