The thing is though it has something to do with the 4.3 update because there was never an issue before.
It's like Verizon got rid of the permanent wifi notification in the shade and replaced it with this error message that is pretty much up all the time in my shade now.
Speed test shows me at 36Mb but I think I solved the issue. I just clicked the message and said don't ever show me this again haha.
But did you do a reset after doing the 4.3 update? This is a major OS jump, from 4.1.2 to 4.3. It isn't surprising that what's on your phone from 4.1.2 may not play that well with 4.3, or could potentially have gotten corrupted during the update process. If you're having any problems it would be good to be at a baseline, which you would get by doing a factory reset and re-installing your apps. You should only have to do it once, but you'll have less problems. I plan on doing the equivalent when I update, a factory reset after the OTA, or if I flash a new ROM for 4.3, that's essentially starting from a reset state.
Sorry, I'm terribly ignorant: would I be right in assuming that, if I back up my phone using Samsung Kies, I can then copy the apps on to the phone after doing the reset? Or is there a better way of making sure I don't lose track of my apps? And what about the URLs of my internet favourites? Needless to say, I'm having exactly the same problems as Eion and Photo_Drew since the software update yesterday. Thanks for any guidance, but a factory reset seems a bit dramatic to me.![]()
Unfortunately, Eion, this isn't an option on my phone; if you get "There was a network error", all you can do is click on OK...Well, for me I never lost wifi signal when receiving the message. Auto network was already unchecked so that doesn't seem to be the culprit. All I know is that after telling it to never show me the message again it hasn't and like I said my connection has been fine.
