I've saw a few posts with people having issues with wifi not turning on. Everything that has been suggested has been tried. Reboot, reset network settings, master reset. Nothing works! Sent the phone to Samsung for repair and they returned it saying no fault found. I'm not silly, there definitely is a fault as it will not turn on at all. And today Bluetooth wouldn't connect even though its turned on. £1600 device and Samsung won't accept there is a problem. Can anyone suggest next steps before I lose all my hair!?

Same issue, been using the phone for little over a year. They asked me to factory restore which was such a hassle but I still did. Didn't solve the problem. Mofos are not accepting that there is an issue with their phone. They should do a recall and fix it for free since there are so many of us having the same issue with this fold phone. Wifi simply won't turn on.

I have been facing same issue. Unable to connect to WiFi, Audio goes and automatically starts working, Can't see Apps in full screen (Netflix Disney). Samsung should own this issue and get it replaced. No point of paying over $2000 Fold phones if they are going to dace these issue within 2 year.

After the last update my z3 fold will no longer auto connect to my home WiFi, sometimes if I'm lucky it will connect after doing a restart,so frustrating to get it workingfor it to just switch off, I had tried all the suggestions to get it to work.
I'm sure I saw a post that Samsung are aware of this issue as so many people are experiencing problems and are working on a new update,but I have read so many posts I can't find it now.

I'm in the same boat - Fold 3 is nearly 2 years old and restarted randomly. I now don't have any wifi with any wifi options not even showing. Nothing. Not happy.....

First no bluetooth when opened. Now freezing and resetting itself and no wifi. A phone should last longer than 1 and a half years. Especially a £1600 one. If this doent get sorted im switching to another company after having samsungs for 10years.

I had the same thought as you, I am using samsung phone for over 10 years and now got this hardware design issue without any official response to this.

I have the same problem with my fold 3,  WiFi will not toggle on. I took it to a Samsung repair shop and the tech said right away it was either the screen display or motherboard without looking at my phone. Google the issue. It is a design flaw that Samsung seems to be ignoring. The family has a fold 4 and was planning to buy the new fold 5 but not anymore.
