How's your wifi connection on Note 3?

[bembol]

I rarely use Wi-Fi. Next time I hit Starbucks I'll see how it performs.

Hi, just wondering how you made out with the Note 3 and the Wi-Fi problem. I am in the same boat. My WiFi calling in the house and people can't hear me or it is scrambled. However, when I go out, off of WiFi, everything is okay. A phone costing this much, don't want to go pass the return window even if I just think something is wrong.. I think I am returning mine for a fresh one. If it is a global issue, then let it happen on the 2nd one..

Sorry for the delay in responding, I was out of town. I returned my Note 3 as my local store would not do an in store exchange and would only agree to order one in for me. They said it would take 7 to 10 business days and that would have put me outside of my return window. I'm waiting to see what the official word is on the issue before I decide whether to repurchase it or not.

Actually I've found switching off Auto connect and wifi timer and also enabling keep wifi on during sleep have removed my issues? Early days (only been 24 hours) but it seems to have done the trick. I think it's worth try.

I am. Really sorry about your wifi problem!!! I use to write in a big android forum about Note 3 here in Italia ND no one is complaining about wifi issue!! Why?? EU models have different antennas ?? My one is beast with wifi and 3/4G connection too. No issue!

Definitely could be an issue with the antenna. Slow to pick up WiFi signal even if it does connect. Come on Samsung come clean and fix this issue already!and the rest of the WiFi issues.

I cannot receive calls on my Note 3 if I have wifi calling on. I can make calls, but all incoming calls can't hear me, what they hear is like a cat screeching. Samsung supposedly has their top programmers fixing this wifi calling issue. Everything else works fine. If I turn wifi calling off and leave regular wifi on I can receive incoming calls. Interesting.

I love my Note 3 but this WIFI issue is driving me nuts. it keeps saying that the connection is unstable when everyone in the house with an iphone gets perfect connection....grrrrrr....maybe time to take the unit back and get a nexus. SAMSUNG FIX THE ISSUE!!!! or please post an aknowledgement that you are working on it!!.

Does anybody know about this Knox security in the note 3 and 10.1. Just wondering if this could be a conflicting security software put in by Samsung as it is knew I believe. Any thoughts ? I just learned about it and it has to do with the hardware and software, and I believe its just been adopted into the very newer phones starting with the S4..Please samsung say something about this if you know whatever the problem might be,if you don't know yet just tell it like it is

Last night was the worst time I noticed a wifi problem with mine. We had a full signal strength of 20mbps. My phone dropped the connection and said wifi disabled due to poor quality wifi signal yet both tablets, my husband's note 2 and both computers were all fine. I had to restart my phone 3 times to get it too reconnect.

I got fed up of waiting and just returned mine. Shame really as otherwise I was very pleased with it but erratic Wifi is unacceptable.

I can't say this will work for everyone but I went through 3 different note 3's before I got desperate. I tried all the steps, turned off the connections optimizer and all the other suggestions people made and still had WiFi connectivity issues. I finally decided to do a factory reset once I had everything up and running again I turned off the optimizer and the auto scan and I have not had any wifi problems sense and it's been about 5 days now.

I believe he is on Sprint and they have a connection optimizer in their Android phones.

Re: How's your wifi connection on note3?

This really concerns me. The S-4 is not known for having good reception on wifi, and to have the Note 3 perform worse in the same location is starting to look like a deal breaker for me. Many posts now stating the reception on the Note 3 is not good. I want this phone so bad, but not with poor reception.

I am with you on this. The more I read these boards, the more and more issues I see with this phone. I wanted to get this phone, but as far as I can see reading all the post just on AC that this phone is full of issues.... sad. Guess I will skip it and see how the Nexus 5 turns out. I will hold off and let others test it out just like I did with the note 3

I just had ordered two cases for the note 3 from amazon and decided to return them and not get the Note 3. Like you I have read too many issues with this phone, and as nice as it is, I'm just going to get A Note 2. On best buy's website and even on Verizon's own website the Note 2 gets a better overall user review. For the price they are asking for it, not acceptable I know not everyone is having issues with theirs, but I'm paying full price for a phone, so not willing to take the chance on it. I'll wait to see if and when this phone ever gets fixed, and then use my upgrade for it.
