Good Day, recently my S21 has been disconnecting itself from my wifi and when I go to turn it back on the wifi button itself is greyed out and I cannot turn it back on. The only thing I’ve found to work is when I reset my phone it stays on for around 10 minutes before doing it again. I’ve also just factory reset the phone to see if that would help but it’s doing the exact same thing. I’ve done everything google has told me to do when googling solutions. The first photo here is the wifi just loads and loads and loads forever but never actually turns on. When you leave the screen and go back it’s back to the off position and will never turn on. Any help would be appreciated thank you!

Does this only happen with your own home network or when you're in other places?
Have you got Intelligent Wifi switching turned on? If so try turning off Switch to better wifi networks. Not sure if S21 has such a feature or if it will make any difference but it's worth checking.

Could you also try wiping the cache partition

Hello. Yes this happens with all networks. Also I have tried clearing the cache and still nothing.

See the thread above. You may have the same issue and need a repair.

From what i understand this is an issue across all s21 models and nobody including samsung has any idea how to fix this without replacing the entire phone. I have experience with these kind of repairs and was going to replace my back cover due to several cracks. I eventually assumed mixed with the alleged unbreakable back and this issue it had to be what you had repaired. Do u have an idea which of the boards was replaced. I'm having this same issue and originally thought it was from a software update but it has had a dozen or so major updates since this issue started. I had to get a new phone - s23 fe. Still have and use s21 fe. This started 04/17/2024 for me. SM-G990U1/DS white unlocked by Samsung s21fe
