Galaxy S6 :: No 4G When On WiFi?
Jan 1, 2016Carrier - VZW. It appears that when I have wifi turned on, the 4G icon at the top of the screen isn't lit. If I turn the wifi off, the 4G icon comes back on. What's up with that?

Galaxy S5 :: WiFi Is Always On?
Mar 25, 2015I've been seeing this for a while now. My phone has been showing that my WiFi has constantly been running, when I turn it off whenever I'm on the road. I'm thinking this is why my battery is draining even when I'm constantly on Battery Saving mode. I doubt it's caused my lollipop since I've hard reset already, and that solved my overheating and messaging problems. Why my WiFi is always on?
View 15 Replies View RelatedGalaxy S6 :: Can Call Using WiFi
Aug 25, 2015I have a new Galaxy S6, using it with MetroPCS service that works over the T-Mobile network. I took my GS6 to Canada and connected to a motel wifi. I was able to get/send e-mails, use Facebook, etc. - but when I tried to make a phone call it would not work....kept telling me I did not have an account there. I could not figure out how to direct it to make the call over the wifi network....no switch showed up to let me try that option. (My son's iPhone 6 has a switch letting him select how the call is made...over the cell tower or by WiFi). How do I get that capability to work, or does this phone not have that feature??

May 18, 2015I am on Sprint and I am unable to send a MMS (group message) over wifi? I was chatting with Sprint text support and they are trying to tell me this is a limitation for Android phones. I know this is BS because my wife has a HTC M8. Am I doing something wrong? Are others experiencing this with their Edge S6?
Their solution is to send MMS messages over mobile data. I do not think it is acceptable to have to toggle between mobile and wifi to send group messages. I did test and the group/MMS messaging does work on Mobile data so this is purely limited to my wifi being an issue...

Galaxy S5 :: Why Isn't WiFi Turning On
Apr 4, 2015When i try to turn on my wifi button, sometimes nothing happens, the other times it quickly turns on then off. This means i am not even able to scan for networks. Also makes the whole phone lag.Sometimes if just says "turning on...." but nothing happens
When screen rotation is turned on on the wifi page, the screen rotates 90 degrees but leaves the left side of the screen black, then after 3 seconds properly rotates. The only way to back out of the wifi page, is to continually press the home button, the back button doesnt work. When not on the wifi page the phone doesnt lag anymore.
Galaxy S5 :: WiFi Won't Turn On
Mar 26, 2015I can't get my WiFi to turn on at all on my phone. Ever since the lollipop update, I've been having a plethora of issues with my phone. It doesn't charge using any charger... I literally have to replace the battery with a different one once it dies. Now all of a sudden my WiFi is messed up. Any of the options to turn on WiFi show up as grayed out. When I press WiFi button, it turns slightly green for a second and then turns off.
View 4 Replies View RelatedGalaxy S5 :: Cannot Connect To WiFi
Aug 3, 2015I recently moved into my friend's place and have tried connecting to our netgear wifi, however when searching through the available wifi list it says this network is "not in range." I am standing right next to the router so I do not understand why this is happening but I desperately need to get this solution resolved asap. Any input on how I can connect to this wifi? I've tried the obvious method of unplugging it and rebooting, but that didn't do anything. I can connect on my laptop just fine, however my S5 will not even recognize it as a viable option.
There is a picture on the router that has a lock on top of a signal, however I cannot seem to turn this off. I do not know if this is the culprit. When I try to turn it off (by clicking it or holding down the button) it merely starts blinking, however I cannot get the light pertaining to this button to turn off entirely.

View 1 Replies View RelatedGalaxy S6 :: WiFi Frequently Needs Disconnecting
Apr 11, 2015Having issues with 5GHz wifi becoming unresponsive and needing to be turned off and immediately back on to kick it into working? I've got Smart Network Switch and Download Booster (switch to mobile data if wifi is no good; use wifi + LTE) both switched off, so they shouldn't be a factor..
I even switched them back on and then off just to be sure that they were in fact off.After a painful day spent trying to transfer data to the new phone, and installing all of my usual apps - having to disable and renable wifi at least 50 times throughout the day - I decided to switch from using my 5GHz wifi to 2.4GHz (same router), and it now seems fine. Switching back to 5, and I end up back with the same result - wifi will work fine for a while before stopping.
My Galaxy S5 has no issue using the 5GHz (and neither do any other devices I have), so it doesn't appear to be the router (Asus RT-AC87U) at fault unless there's just some compatibility issue with the S6.
Phone is G920I (Australian version, 64GB)

Would rather not factory reset, but will if that's my only option.
