Samsung Galaxy S — WiFi not turning on

Hi...WiFi often says "turning on," then "error." Doesn't matter if my router is turned on or off...always "error."What is the problem?

Do you have right password set on your phone?

If the password is right, you could be having a problem with the wireless sensor on your phone.

Same issue in my galaxy Y also. The wifi never gets connected. when i try to connect, it shows "TRYING OT CONNECT" and then never connects.
Is this a software issue or hardware issue?

The bad news is, it could be both. I'd first make sure your Galaxy Y has the most recent firmware update (settings> about phone> software update ) and then see if other devices can connect to your wifi. If they can and you have updated software then it might just be a hardware issue. But first I'd download a wifi detector and see if the signal quality is good. If it is and you still can't connect then I'd call customer support and see if they have a suggestion for you.

Hope that helps!

This is reported to be a software issue. update your firmware using kies on pc and try to do data wipe.

Sounds like sound advice

I am also a S2 user and was facing the same issue and was totally stuck but finall I found a slution which save my life that can be applied to all kinds of WiFi issues on Galaxy S2:-


1. Go to your GS2’s dialer and dial *#0011#

2. Now you have to hit the left menu button when you see the “service mode” screen

3. Choose WiFi

4. Turn off the “WiFi power save mode” button if its on

5. Now exit this menu. Turn off and turn on your WiFi. Re-enter the network info if you have already entered it before.


**hope this trick would give you some relief**
