My xv6800 will connect to my WiFi router with a good signal quality and I can surf the web just fine but it will randomly disconnect from that AP. When it does disconnect - my AP is no longer in the list of available networks but other networks are still available and can be connected to. After about 45 secs my AP will show back in the list and I will be able to connect to it or I can cycle my WiFi on/off/on and my AP may (has to be off for about 10 secs or more) be back in the list.
Doesn't matter which router it is (same thing happens at work and other places). The disconnect only occurs when their is a pull on the WiFi (i.e. I load a page, watch a video, stream something) but if I'm just sitting there not surfing the WiFi will stay connected. It also doesn't matter what type of browser it is or what type of data it is or the quality of signal (happens on PIE, Opera Mobile, Netfront, GoogleMaps, Tom Tom Traffic even while right next to source with near full bars).
I had this problem when my phone was on a stock rom and have since flashed my rom to a DCD Rom (user created rom) and I still have the same problem.
Any help would be welcome?
this may be in the wrong section - just noticed
p.s. it is a verizon xv6800
If this issue happens on the stock ROM, then i suspect a hardware issue.... Sounds like you may have to get a new phone....

Hi guys, so here's the deal : Just got a brand new Optimus One and the Wifi dosen't really work. It took me ages to get it to detect my home network ( Realtek RTL8187, used as a hotspot via win7's wireless miniport adapter - so basically virtual hotspot) Once I managed to get a connection the device would either be stuck at "obtaining ip adress from..." or would simply disconnect and reconnect in a quick burst. I finally managed to get it to connect by manually assigning the internet sharing permissions for the virtual miniport, but the speed is abysmal! We're talking to the order of bytes/s, measured both by attempting a small download from the phone and by reading the in/out data on the pc connection info. Upon some further poking around, a few wifi adapter and phone restarts later, I notice that when I connect to my hotspot the phone's wifi manager reports a normal speed of 54mb/s, but when I actually try to use the connection (say, the youtube app) it works fine for a second or two (it usually loads a bit of a vid, or half of a big webpage) and then drops down to the aforementioned speed and the phone's wifi manager indicated that the connection is 2mb/s
Also, I went out before setting up my home network to a mall and tried to connect to one of the free hotspots available. On some, it would connect straight away, but be very slow (signal wasn't great) and on one (max signal) it would disconnect/reconnect in very short bursts (10-15 times a minute) and it would eventually establish the connection. Then the same speed issue as above: works fine for a few seconds, drops down to unusable. Didn't think about checking the connection speed there, simply thought the public network was overused. In hindsight, the problems were similar to the ones experienced at home
A few side notes: The 3g speed is fine, consistent and problem-free
I have tried changing my home wifi's frequency to a number of settings (there are quite a few other wifi's around, I know it could cause issues if they overlap)
My wifi connection was actually not detected by a friend's laptop wifi, but we could connect our computers just fine via ad-hoc (which from what I've heard is a no-go with android at the moment - and the phone does not see ad-hoc)
The phone is brand new, only installed a handfull of apps on it, didn't change any relevant settings (I think)
Set wifi sleep policy to "never"
My pc wireless adapter worked just fine in the past, used it for a few months as the main internet connection, and even with half-signal it would achieve good speed. I also moved the antenna away from the PC itself to avoid interference
I set my PC to use only 802.11b since I've read around that some phones prefer this to 802.11b/g
That's about all I can think of right now. (oh, and It's my first android, so I don't know my way around the OS that great yet)
I appreciate any advice you can give me. Basically I'm trying to find out if it's an issue with my Wifi adapter, it's settings, the phone's settings, or if the phone itself might be broken, so I can send it back to warranty.
Thanks in advance.
Try switching from b to g.
it was initially on b/g
Hi everyone,
I have the following problem:
I turn on WiFi sharing, and connect to it with my PC (Win 7). After a while (40-60 minutes) the sharing stops. The blue icon stays in the notification bar and my PC keeps reporting "connected", but nothing goes through. I cannot ping the internet, and sometimes not even my phone (sometimes pinging 192.168.43.1 works, sometimes not). I run Gingerbread 2.3.4.
If I turn off WiFi sharing and try to turn it back on, it reports "Error" on the phone, but if I now try again it works flawlessly for another 40-60 minutes.
I tried Barnacle WiFi Tether (it was even more unreliable), and some other types of Tethering apps.
I don't want to use USB tethering, because sometimes I need to connect with more PCs.
Any solution?
Is that with continous use on wifi? I.e. is there any lengthy periods where you're not actually using data, like reading a document for 10 mins?
My wifi tends to drop the connection after x amount of mins idle, it will show connected also, but it has to be disconnected and reconnected to work again, unless im downloading continously or watching a video (not letting the wifi connection idle).
Its 'normal' from my experience.
One thing you can try however is go to settings --> wifi --> menu key --> advanced and set wifi sleep policy to Never, see how that works for you?
Hi!
No, actually I am playing League Of Legends (an online game) continuosly. The connection seems to hold on longer if I am just browsing the net, but eventually it always gives up.
It was not a problem with ICS 4.0.3, but there the 3G gave up and it was really hard to get the connection back, so it was even more unusable.
Did you try altering the wifi sleep policy? See if that helps
I think the Wifi sleep policy only affects normal Wifi usage where the phone is the client. Anyway, I checked and it is already set to "Never", as you suggested.
Update: I was using XWKI4 with Nimphetamine kernel until yesterday. I have tried KI4-CFRoot kernel too, but that wasn't any better. Finally, yesterday I updated to KL1 stock kernel. I changed only the kernel, so it is a KL1 kernel with an otherwise KI4 ROM.
The sympthoms seem to have disappeared now. WiFi sharing works flawlessly. Fingers crossed...
Hey everyone
Just picked up this phone shipped from overseas. I have installed CWM and rooted the device. I have turned the phone on with a SDcard (but no SIM card). I have connected to my LAN at home to try and browse the internet - i get the basic andriod error message - no webpage will load. Sometimes the error message doesn't come up instantly, it takes about 15-20 secs to error out.
I originally backed up stock ROM, then used Darkside Superwipe to then install Andriod Revolution HD latest version from these forums - still had the same dramas. Restored original image and it mdoesn't seem to have changed anything. Willing to try whatever I can to fix the issue, or I will return the phone as faulty.
* Correctly connected via WEP, full strength signal
* Mobile data turned on
* Up/Down arrows for Wifi seem to light up, but nothing happening
Any ideas or suggestions as to what i can try? Baseband vers XXLG8

hmmmm did you check your router and verify if the connection was stablished correctly? I mean no MAC filtering or anything.
try to recover the phone using kies if that doesn't work then it's a faulty phone
When you are connected to your LAN, does the phone shows what IP it has? Furthermore, go into the dailer and enter *#0011# then hit menu > wifi and do a ping test. If it passes, then there could be some issue with the browser (very unlikely). If it fails, then there might be some connection problem from the router end like alankstiyo mentioned (mac filtering, dhcp off, etc).
My wifi keeps on disconnecting and reconnecting every 15 seconds or so; very annoying when I'm streaming a video or downloading something.
I'm running stock sense 5, rooted; this problem doesn't occur when I switch to data.
Help please?
Signal strength?
It would be great if you have another device which uses wifi. For example, in my school, I can have full wifi signal strength and suddenly it disconnects... Then it reconnects and says "incorrect password"... After a few seconds it reconnects and again full signal. But this happens to anyone else, so it's not my HOX+ fault.
You may also want to uncheck any "save battery while wifi" options. There are 2 of them AFAIK.
So, I got my S9+ (international version, DUOS, 256 GB) last week from the Samsung store. I am on stock ROM (and will stay as long as my warranty lasts or someone finds a way to root with Knox 0x0, which I am not expecting).
At home, I have a WLAN Mesh (AVM Fritz!Box 6590 Cable, 2x AVM Fritz! 1750E Repeater on a wired connection), everything working great with any device.
Except my S9+. It connects and everything is fine, at some point - especially when using it for e.g. streaming Netflix or so - it will stay connected to the WLAN but will say "no internet access". Switching WLAN on and off fixes the issue until it happens the next time (minutes to hours later). I have no special settings, no neighbouring networks which would interfere. I have 2,4 and 5 GHz active and automatic channel selection. All other devices in my home work with no problems. I have found similar issues froim users on other Samsung phones (S6/7/8 series (my former S5 on Resurrection Remix Oreo does not show t his behaviour)), but no answers that worked (like forget the network, reboot and reenter credentials).
Quite annoying, anyone knows a fix? Big THANKS in advance.
No one experiencing the same thing or havin any ideas?
I have had the same issue in the beginning with the phone. I have a router with a cisco switch connected to it. The standard router's wifi wasn't sufficient in coverage through my house. I got hold of a cisco AP and connected it to the switch and disabled the wifi on the router. That's when my issue started. Fiddled around trying various options, but the one that worked for me was to tell the phone to forget my network, restart the phone and then "setup" the wifi on the phone again(password for wifi needed to be entered as it sees the network as a new one) Haven't had the issue after that. I did notice at my office that even though the wifi conection is good, that if it goes below a certain percentage, the mobile data will kick in, although I have that option switched off. I also picked up that if your line connection's speed goes very low for whatever reason, the same problem appears again that the phone assumes there is no internet
Thanks, this is what I've read from other threads (with S7, S8), too. But this didn't work for me. My repeaters get ther signal through LAN cable and I have a fast connection, coverage all over my house and garden. I really do not have an idea on what to try...
