Samsung Galaxy On7 Wifi Problem
The new #Samsung Galaxy S7 (#GalaxyS7) has a Wi-Fi bug. It’s a minor one but nevertheless annoying. It affects the syncing capability of the phone especially Gmail.
Samsung already acknowledged it and even started rolling out minor updates to fix it and in the U.S., #Verizon followed suit. For sure, other carriers and service providers will roll out updates sooner than later.It is a Wi-Fi bug and if you get Internet service through mobile data, you won’t be able to experience this annoyance. If, however, you have Internet-related issues while using data, then that’s a different story but I will also address that one here.The first part of this troubleshooting guide is to provide you with workarounds so you’ll be able to continue using your phone despite the bug that keeps bugging you. At the later part of this article, I will address some of the Internet-related concerns Galaxy S7 owners reported.

Workarounds for the Galaxy S7 Wi-Fi bugThese aren’t solutions but workarounds or temporary remedies so you can continue using your phone despite the symptoms the bug is showing. Again, the bug is minor but very annoying especially if you rely on Wi-Fi to connect to the Internet.
So, if you noticed your phone is showing one or two of the signs below, try the workarounds I cited:Symptoms. Gmail not syncing properly. Wi-Fi is very slow.
Wi-Fi keeps disconnecting and reconnecting. Connection lost even if the phone isn’t idle. Wi-Fi On/Off switch grayed outWorkarounds.
The first thing you should do is to restart your phone. The bug is actually triggered when the phone is being used; it doesn’t initiate during boot up. So, basically, the problem will be temporarily fixed when the phone is rebooted.
If you don’t wait a few seconds of booting up, there’s another thing you can do–turn Wi-Fi off and then turn it back on. The connection gets refreshed when the device reconnects and it’s actually one of the most used workarounds for this bug, however, the problem seems to manifest again a lot quicker than when you reboot your phone but anyhow, it helps. Disable Bluetooth.
Some users reported that Bluetooth may be one of the triggers of this bug as the problem often occurs when it is enabled. So, try disabling it and see what happens. Disable other location services. If you often use GPS and/or other related services, this issue will be a pain because in order for the Wi-Fi to work flawlessly, location services must be disabled. Others also said uninstalling apps that use location services will also temporarily fix the problem.
Check for firmware update and download it if there’s one. Again, a few service providers may have already rolled out updates that may patch this problem, so try to check for it from time to time.We don’t know how widespread the problem is but if you’re one of the unlucky ones, at least, you can do something about it. I hope that this simple guide can help you until help arrives.
Internet Problems with Galaxy S7Here are some of the Internet-related problems we received from our readers:Q: “ I have 2 new Samsung S7 phones. When I turn hotspot on my laptop connects fine to mobile 1 and has access to internet. When I try to connect laptop to mobile 2 hotspot it connects but will not give me internet. Data is turned on and I have internet access on both phones. My laptop internet trouble shooter tells me it is disabled locally.”A: All we need to do is find out whether the problem is with the phone or your laptop.
So, here’s what I need you to do:. Make sure the phone you’re having issues with has internet connection. Turn on its hotspot. Now, connect your other phone to it and see if it can get service. If the internet works on the other phone, it’s most likely an issue with the laptop but it’s more of a compatibility issue than anything else.But the thing is, either your phone can get internet connection or not, you still need to bring the phone in for checkup.
It’s a new phone and if I were you, I would ask for a replacement.Q: “ New Samsung galaxy S7, SM-G930F, can’t log into some websites. I put in password etc. And the page resets back to the login page. I use chrome but have tried the native internet too. I’m still using my S6 as the second phone and it logs in no problem.”A: If it can log in to other websites, then there’s no problem with the phone. The issue may be in websites you’re trying to log in to but we really don’t know for sure.
It could have been a lot helpful for us if you gave us a hint what websites you were trying to log into. I also think it’s not an issue with either Chrome or the stock browser.
Try calling the tech support of the websites and inquire about the problem. May be they were having service maintenance during the time you tried to log in.Q: “ My new Galaxy S7 can’t connect to the internet using data. I have subscribed for an unlimited data but can’t use it. I just got the phone and the tech already registered in to their network so I now have text and calls but no internet.
How can I fix this?”A: I understand you already got the device provisioned and it already has all basic services except Internet. Well, you need to set your phone to connect to your provider’s network but if the rep already did that, then all you have to do is enable mobile data. Once enabled, you should be able to get internet service, otherwise, it will be the APN that has issues–either it was configured incorrectly or haven’t been configured at all. I suggest, you call your provider again and report this problem. The rep should be able to help you with it.Q: “ I have an S7. Yesterday it froze and I had to press and hold the Volume Down and Power keys to reboot it. But once it was ready, I wasn’t getting internet and the Wi-Fi icon was white.
When I went to Settings to turn Wi-Fi off, it was greyed out and I can’t do a thing. I already rebooted many times but the problem remained. What should I do?”A: It must be the cache that got corrupted when the system crashed.

Samsung Galaxy On7 Wifi Not Working
(iv)see additional.
I don't get why exactly but when i go from bluetooth to WiFi like when my phone is charging and I'm still wearing my watch, it usually will just notify me I'm in standalone mode and won't switch until i go into settings and tell it to connect to my wifi network. My former Android Wear watch did this seemlessly without me noticing but this watch i often lose my notifications when I'm trying to top my phone off and I'm still wearing the watch around the house. Going in and out of bluetooth range basically makes the feature worthless. When it does automaticly switch it's usually after 10 minutes of being on standalone mode. So what gives? I have another work around. Seems issue occurs if you've ever selected 'Sync wifi profiles'.
If you've turned it on at least once, disabling it does not seem to resolve the issue as per previous posts.So this is what I did1. Disabled Sync wifi profiles2. Reset my watch - you may want to make a backup as you will lose everything3. Clear storage of Galaxy wearable App on your phone4. Go through the setup process again5. Set wifi to Auto mode on your watch6.
Setup your WiFi connections on your watch. (You will have to turn off Bluetooth on your watch to be able to do this)7. To test this, just connect your watch and phone via Bluetooth.8. Disconnect Bluetooth9. Remote connection via WiFi will kick in providing watch and phone are on the same wifi, and will not require you to 'Forget' wifi and re-enter credentials.10. Note: it takes about 1 min for remote connection via WiFi to kick in11. Remember: NEVER ENABLE SYNC WIFI PROFILES (this must be a buggy setting).EDIT.I have not restored my backup I made.

I was worried that the restore would re-add my corrupt wifi profiles and the issue would persist. Maybe someone can test this? The watch doesn't support calls over wifi, but provided the wifi extends beyond the house you should at least get notifications for texts.I've noticed that the switch over has become very erratic, disabling BT results in the watch immediately reporting it has connected to wifi successfully and yet the remote feature as you say takes an age to connect, I tried sending an SMS and i get 2'Connecting to phone remotely. If this takes to long, try again.' With an OK soft key to dismiss the message.Yet another bug to file please Admins.
