In our Android application, which is designed to connect to Wi-Fi networks, we observed an issue where certain Samsung devices fail to save the Wi-Fi configuration when WPA3 is selected as the security type.
The issue occurs after the user clicks the Save button in the Wi-Fi configuration popup. The configuration is not saved, and the device does not attempt to connect to the specified Wi-Fi network.
This issue is specific to certain Samsung devices. Other devices, including Pixel and other non-Samsung models, are able to save the configuration and successfully connect to the network.
Note: This doesn’t happen with all the controllers(Working fine with Meraki,Mist,Ruckus) Issue occurs with: Cisco Aruba (WPA3 GCM)
Steps to Reproduce:
Configure WPA3 SSIDin Aruba(with GCM)/Cisco
Configure TLS Network using WifiNetworkSuggestion API
Click Save in the Wi-Fi configuration popup
Expected Behavior:
The Wi-Fi configuration should be saved, and the device should attempt to connect to the specified WPA3 network.
Observed Behavior:
On certain Samsung devices:
The Wi-Fi configuration is not saved.
The user is unable to connect to the network.
On other devices (e.g., Pixel): The Wi-Fi configuration is saved, and the connection is successful.
Impacted Devices:
Samsung Galaxy S21, S10, A34, M31
Other devices tested:
Google Pixel (Working as expected)
