I would also like to do this. I'm on G930U.

As what I've understood, you tweaked something to achieve that, right? But mine is behaving this way by default. It is so weird that a flagship phone works this way unless it is malfunctioning I suppose.

I really really appreciate the help. I'm actually in Vietnam right now and I do hope this is just a connection issue and that there is nothing wrong with my phone. I've done all possible workaround, but everything was in vain. I still believe samsung makes reliable phones.

Tim1954, sad to say it is still not reconnecting automatically. Grrrrr. This is such an annoyance.

So you said earlier on this thread that yours works the same way, right? If s7 really works this way then i would not worry, but if only few experience this, it should call for a fix.

Just to clarify, i dont have to unlock my phone. I just need to turn the screen on on a locked state and then it reconnects.

The possibility of the routers being the problem might be the cause but my friends can automatically reconnect without turning the screen on.

Yes all my wifi networks are set to auto reconnect by default. Wifi on during sleep is set to always by default as well. This happens to all my wifi connections. I actually didn't notice this before, but I dont mean it wasnt happening, until someone called me and i could not be reached...

Yes it is indeed weird of a phone to work if this is intentionally made. I even factory reset my phone to be sure but to no avail. Thank you so much. Really looking forward to a solution if this turns out a problem.

I'm experiencing this as well. My s7's screen has to be turned on first before it reconnects. What could be done to address this? I'm quite annoyed since my friend's oppo phone automatically reconnects.

It is also off. Im not using my mobile data most of the time. So there must be something wrong, right?

Battery saving feature is off. There isn't any third party app.

Re: S7 strange Wifi connection behavior. Are you experiencing this? Yes, it is on.

S7 strange Wifi connection behavior. Are you experiencing this? My S7 has to be turned on first to be able to reconnect to Wifi. Is this normal? Someone told me I should not worry about this, but I want to assure if this is how S7 is supposed to work or not. My previous phones automatically...

or is there anything i can do to make it reconnect without turning the screen on first?
