I have upgraded from Jelly Beans to Kitkat 4.4.2 via regular OTA upgrade provided by Samsung on my Samsung Note 8" GT-N5110. Since then I am unable to use Wifi on it. My device is NOT rooted and is running on original Samsung software upgraded via OTA.
I have tried to clear cache and then factory re-set as well and still can't get the WIFI button to sometime even select available WIFI networks. So issues I am facing are summarized below"
1. After factory re-set and clearing cache via Power+Vol Up option, when I tried to setup from scratch, WIFI would not turn on at all meaning device would not be able to scan for available WIFI network or would do so but after long time and if it does show available Networks and I select my home network with required security (WPA2) and password, it would show status as " Saved" rather than connecting to this network. The device would not connect to selected network even after multiple tries.
2. When trying to turn wifi on, device would not show "WIFI" button to Green but instead would stuck at "Grey" color for ever unless rebooted and re-tried many times. The grey would turn green when selecting advanced option or tabbing thro' back button but would not scan available networks then. If it would scan thro' Networks, it would just save selected network even with correct security option and password for it.
WIFI not turning on has made this device a piece of junk for any meaningful use. Any suggestions/ help would be highly appreciated. Again please note, my device is UNROOTED and running on original firmware provided by Samsung via OTA upgrade.

If you don't mind... try odin 3.09, flash philz recovery, factory reset for wipe clean for fresh install option, and boot to downloader. Flash a firmware from sam mobile, or the get a usa version in the development section.
That should flash a clean install after a wipe

Wi-fi should work the same, if anything you should have data or network problems.
Try booting into recovery (Volume Up + Home + Power, hold together). It doesn't require root, you will be in Samsung's stock recovery.
Clear only Cache then reboot your phone. This will not clear your data or apps, this will simply delete their temporary files and force them to re-configure themselves to adjust to your current phone's state.
Maybe try connecting to a different wi-fi connection?

Hi
I installed the new NK1 firmware on my t-325 and since then my inernet connection keeps dropping with "AP currently not in use. Internet connection too slow" message. The internet connection is obviously not slow and signal strength is maxed out. Is there anything I can do ? I have already regretted upgrading. :crying:

I have the sm-t320 also on the NK1 firmware but I haven't experienced any wifi dropouts , but I did a clean install by doing a factory reset, have you tried to remove the AP and re-add it back in?
To remove the network go to Settings - Wi-Fi - Long Press on the AP and press "Forget network" , then refresh networks and re-connect to it, or if SSID is hidden scroll down and click Add Wi-Fi netwrok.

Yes, I tried everything but to no avail. I even selected another channel on the router. My wife has the same tablet with the older firmware and everything is fine by her.
It seems that I need to roll back to the previous firmware but I don't know how to start it since I have never had a Samsung before. I downloaded the original firmware, Odin v3.9 and installed Kies to have the necessary drivers. I don't want to brick my device, so is there anything I need to be aware of before I start flashing ?
Hi all i recently bought a no fault customer returned tab 3 7in SM-T210, Today I received my tab 3 and after the first boot I was offered an update, Build number KOT49H.T210XXBOA3, dated 22 jan 2015 at 110mb.
After the update had finished I was unable to connect to my WiFi, it would say connected but the settings app would freeze sometimes with the message that settings is not responding, if I do manage to get out of the settings I am unable to use the internet as all apps say no connection, even though the WiFi icon is showing as connected. I have also found that changing the screen off time to 1 minute cause's the device to soft reboot ( No Samsung galaxy tab 3 screen / bootloader )
I have tried doing factory reset but that didn't help,
Could flashing the full 828mb stock ROM via Odin possibly fix these issues?
And if I do use Odin to flash stock my warranty should remain?
Sorry for the long winded post, and thanks in advance for any advice given

Why is t210 so many issue? seriously!?
If one thing i need to clarify that doing any custom modification on the device will spoil your warranty. However if you did firmware stuff from kies will not remove your warranty. I would choose to flash into new firmware by using odin. But if your case you can do a factory reset then followed by kies and see if it is working. If it is not, download stock firmware from the net and flash it with odin.
thanks @Jacker31 for the response, i know about voiding warranty there is no custom software on it YET lol, only just got it out of the box, i am new to Samsung devices so i will do some research into kies, just don't want to void my warranty trying to sort it out.

I don't know if it's the same problem with my wife's tab t210. when you turn on the wifi it connects but around many seconds, the wifi icon is gone. and in settings the wifi freeze. i've done rebooting, restore factory settings but it didn't fix the problem. but when i try it to connect via my phone tethering it connects and the wifi icon stays. i check the tethering settings it was put on wpa2, but on my router it was just on wpa. So i change it to wpa2 and the problem on my wife's tab is gone.

Hi guys, so I installed kies3 but when I click the firmware upgrade button I get this message 'SM-T210' dose not support initializing. even though i had USB debugging selected. I also tried while the device was unplugged by entering the model and serial numbers but got the same response.
If I flash a stock firmware by Odin will the device log it on the flash counter? as it came with a 12 month warranty and i will send it back if i cannot fix it myself.

You should send it back because of the warranty, anything could happen (I meant for the warranty) if we do something.
dear all,
I'd like to wipe my Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 to factory settings.
I used classic startup menu (POWER+VOLUME) to access the wipe option.
When it restarts, WiFi is not working anymore : it can't activated.
It worked once, I succeeded to give the WPA2 key, I got an IP, and 2 seconds later, Wifi was not actived anymore and I wasn't able to activate it again.
I tried several workarounds, several solutions, several ODIN version to push several ROM files. Nothing is working.
Lot of ROMs are considered as invalid by different ODIN versions (even if MD5 checksum is valid).
Is there any package I can try to install (through APK inserted on the SD card for instance) to test something ?
Is there a good ROM file to download/try ?
Help...
Thank you

Try different network, if it's the same, the wifi built in is defective. There is no option other than changing a new board and it's not expensive
http://www.ebay.com/itm/121839619758?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
Try to go back to the stock firmware to see the result.
I've already tried ROM stock
I'll bring it at my office tomorrow to check with another wlan signal
Thx for advice's

Trust me, after factory reset and at initial setting, Wifi should be turn on by default; if it doesn't your Wifi chips are defective
Recently i have entered some state in which mobile data is busted on my phone. I have tested multiple android pie roms to find the same thing in each. When i flash the latest stock android (PQ1A.181205.002), mobile data is fine. In this broken state i can see the signal bars with a little 'R' by them (notification on lost mobile data connection Data roaming is turned off. tap to turn on). Every time i navigate into Settings> Network & internet > Mobile Network > Advanced > Carrier Settings. The screen will flash and take me back to Mobile Network, this happens with every custom rom tested. The app SprintDM tries to set up the phone 5 times and then fails. Phone codes seem to have no effect. the code 4636 will allow me to view current info in which it says mobile data disconnected. It doesn't appear to matter if i connect to wifi and allow the basic stock apps to update first. Reboots do not help. I even tried flashing the modem and radio for PQ1A.181105.017.A1 and OPM4.171019.021.R1. I can also say the phone app shows a message "This device is not supported and phone calls may not work correctly". Phone calls work fine. Previously i was running LiquidRemix (10.0.2) just fine, everything working. Randomly mobile data died so i tried a update to LiquidRemix (10.0.3) and still busted. Tested multiple other PIE roms to find the same. And again if i flash any stock firmware mobile data is fine. Anyone else see this or have an idea of how to fix this for custom roms?
I rooted my pixel2xl yesterday and installed Havoc OS.
Today I was out with my family and was trying to navigate via Google maps and it continuously displayed error "try again"
Status bar was showing lte connection then I tried opening chrome and was unable to use mobile data even if it being on and active.
I am planning to move to Stock again tomorrow

vipulkarkar, did you find out any other additional info on this? I went back to stock and everything is fine but would very much rather be running a custom rom.
Just seeing this post, fortunately, I've not run into this issue on stock or custom roms ... What I do run into, on stock or custom roms, is when I leave my house, with a T-Mobile CellSpot, I tend to switch to 3G or H+ in an LTE area. I sometimes have to cycle airport mode a couple times to get LTE back.. So odd and annoying!
Is there something we Sprint users could do to help the devs include Sprint connectivity in their roms? Like provide a nandroid backup of our device or ?
