I don't have that problem but I'm wondering if you get it with other networks? Also have you tried resetting your router?

yea i get it with all wifi networks...for example my university, work, home..etc
Hmmm. I just ran the Speedtest app and got 12Mbps download over my wifi. It would be interesting to try that a few places and show it to VZ. Maybe they can test it on their network.

Get wifi analyzer and see if you have good signal. I notice that the Wi-Fi graphic is conservative.
my RAZR was having trouble operating on WPA2-Personal secured wifi network.. so i changed the wifi settings to WPA-Personal with TKIP and the problems are gone so you might wanna try this before you RMA.
Mine had problems with dropped and weak signal which turns out to be because I had Bluetooth on as well. If I turn bluetooth off wifi works perfectly
My WiFi reception is appalling. It only see's my home network where as my three year old HTC Hero is seeing seven!
With my package I have the ability to connect to BT Openzone hotspots around the UK.
Not much use if you can't go more than 15ft from a router without the connection dropping!
Bluetooth is off and I have tried several WiFi analysers from the market, all show a very weak signal.
Hi
On mine, yes the wifi signal (bars) are showing less then with htc desire, but I can connect without problems even the router is on the second floor and I am siting on the first, so reachable from the whole house.
I do experience, that it takes a little bit longer to find the wifi as with the desire, but once connected, works just fine.
I do not experience problems with hidden networks. Mine is not broadcasting the id, still connection is stable.

The bars on mine seem less than what the signal actually is. I connect to my home wifi just fine, from all over the house. I also connect to work's wifi from what seems like the same distance as my previous phone (Dinc)
i'm using d-link dws-125 (usb router)
when i connect and start using internet, the network disconnects in a few seconds. then it connect again and the same... etc.
please, help!!!
same problem here, hope a solution can be found as the phone is unusable in its present state
The "single ball" is enough to achieve 10mbit at my place, however, I upgraded my firmware to OpenWRT and now I get two full lines and the "ball" in the bedroom.
Stock netgear firmware is.. Incomplete. :S
Wi-fi back
Hi everybody,
I have the same problem mine is a razr from france even if i use it in italy, i found that when haveing the phone in the hand the signal gets very worst, if i hold the phone from the edges not in the hand the signal is much better i gain two signal bars, the same happens if i left the phone on the desk, the signal gest very good, as soon as i take it in the hand the signal gets bad, a kind of antenna gete from iphone....
hope this helps somebody
used to have this issue with weak wifi signals, but after installing the 85P radio update, it's gotten a bit better.
I'm on the stock based rom URevo. Like the title says, my 3g will randomly drop and turn into 1x mode. I know this may happen when sending or receiving a text but this is not the case. I can be stationary with a full 3g signal browsing the website when all of a sudden the 3g drops to 1x mode and the data becomes super slow. Does anyone have any ideas?
Sigh...thinking my phone may be broken or something.
When I'm in my room I get full signal (Linksys EA4500 Wireless-N router) but if I step into the kitchen which is like 10 feet away (and it's open air/no doors between my room and kitchen) I will either completely lose signal or it will switch between cell signal and Wi-Fi.
There is NO way it's my router as many other devices in my home work perfectly fine and my router is bad ass. So what's going on with my DNA? Something doesn't seem right at all. Plus I've noticed even my cell signal will sometimes just shut down (an "X" next to the bars) for like 5 minutes at a time. I'm using it with Straight Talk through AT&T so I don't know if that's the issue but it's dropping signal in places that my last phone worked perfectly.
Just odd connectivity. Anyone else having issues with their Wi-Fi at all? Thanks!
Hey guys,
So I've been having some problems with my wifi reception on my Galaxy S4. I'm not entirely sure as to what the problem is, but hopefully you guys can help me.
Unless I am very close to my router (~10 ft.), my wifi reception is marginal. However, sometimes, when I am far away from my router, and I put pressure on the back of my phone near the power button, the wifi signal instantly boosts up again. It is for this reason that I originally thought that the problem was with the wifi antenna. I changed the back housing which contains the wifi antenna, but to no avail. I have done everything you would find online such as keeping wifi on when sleeping, etc.
Please help me out. I really need my wifi.
Thanks.
Hi guys,
is there any way to force wifi calling? at the moment it only switches when signal falls below certain level. In my case upsatirs uses 4g and downstairs wifi. 4g is poor tho
