Problem with WiFi on eris - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having a very interesting problem with the WiFi on my Eris. Basically what happens is that I can connect to a wireless network and use it for about 3 min, after that it still shows that it is still connected, but nothing will load in the browser, Facebook, etc. Is there a way to fix this or is it an internal problem with the phone?

It's more likely something that you can fix on the router. What router is it? Is the firmware up to date? Are you using any security (WEP, WPA or WPA2)? Which channel are you broadcasting on? Is it set to bgn, bg, or g only?
Also, are you rooted and, if so, which ROM are you running?
Just a few quick things I have noticed about the Eris and WiFi:
- the Eris tends to have issues with routers set to WPA security and TKIP encryption. If you can, it's better to use WPA2 (which uses AES), but if WPA2 is not available, see if you can set WPA to AES only, and not TKIP or TKIP/AES.
- if you are not broadcasting the SSID, try setting it to broadcast and leave it there. Hiding the SSID does not make your router any more secure than a router where the SSID is broadcast

I routinely access both a G mode (by SMC as provided by cable provider) and N mode routers - using both WEP (yup ....) and WPA2-TKIP with SSID broadcast on, and the Eris locked on easily & stay connected with no problems whatsoever - true of some of the newest Froyo and GB Roms released lately.
If SSID is turned off, then it's a NO go as it won't even connect.
Do you have any firewall and/or security suite apps running alongside the router that might be blocking the connection? Check the logs - also verify DHCP and ipconfig settings on your pc ?
It appeared possible that some sort of energy star/saver settings being flipped on after a set period of being in-active? (It's been mentioned elsewhere, check your wi-fi sleep policy on whether it's enabled "When screen turns off"? under Advanced / Menu on the phone (wireless & networks > wif-fi setttings)
Try changing it, disabled & re-enabled it to see if the changes help - is this on a particular ROM release or across several Roms? I'm running GSB v3.5 and it's flawless.

I use wep at home, but the network is open at my work and I have the problem there as well. The Rom I use is tenzo xtr, but I've had this problem on other roms as well. The sleep policy is set to never sleep

I have the same problem. Been that way for the last few builds of any gingerbread rom. The one I am using know MacRom was the only one I never had problems with but this new release I know have drop off problems again

My Eris' radio receiver (Baseband version) is 2.42.01.04.27 - which is supposed to be the latest release from VZW.
I'm currently on CS's latest CM7-V9 GB ROM and I haven't experience any wifi or signal dropoff/reception issues - and I barely get a working 3G signal (bouncing back-n-forth to 1X on the status bar) otherwise when I'm home (switched to CM7 from GSB b/c I had minor issues w. foreign/Asian characters not displaying properly when I used Google Translate.)
Might be worth a try - I did a full system data/cache/dalvik wipe and also SD card reformat - after moving/backing up NAND & Titanium folders, etc. to a backup HDD first - basically starting clear & clean before setting up the ROM to flash to avoid any issues with market/apps or traces of old data on the SD card.
And, yes - I did noticed wifi connectivity with at least one of the "other" GB roms for the Eris - apparently tied to CM7 itself and not necessary unique (like those SMS/MMS, Exchange server & even GPS issues. What's consistent is that it is not uniform or across the board, some users finding issues & bugs while others are reporting little or no problems at all. Just wondering if it's b/c we are pushing the edge of "envelope" too far & beyond its original designed limitations (Android 1.5 to 1.6) now to 2.3.4. Overall speaking, when I eased back the overclocking speed to very moderate level above 528 Mhz & use conservative tweaks, I tend to run into fewer problems if any - just my extra 2 cents worth.

Yup done everything you just mentioned to no success. I guess I will live with it or go to a froyo rom. Either way hoping to believing the world of Eris soon.

Hello Zx2ner88,
If you have tested your device with multiple wifi connections to rule out the actual wifi disconnecting then the next step would be to address the device. If you have the most recent software (Settings>About Phone>System Updates) and a simply battery pull does not assist the next thing to do would be a factory reset. Please keep in mind this will erase everything from the device so if desired please backup. You can do this reset by navigating to Settings>Privacy>Factory Reset>Reset Phone> and Erase Everything. After the reset you will have to reprogram by following the prompts and choosing option 1. Please retest wifi after reset. Thank you.

[Q] Problem with hone wireless network connection

A couple of days ago my wireless connection quit working at home. The wireless network icon turned white all the time, and never switched to green. I hard wire the modem/router (ATT Uversre 2Wire 3800HGV-B) into a 5 port switch and plug my computer, network storage drive, and media streaming box into the switch. I've had all of this set up for a few months in it's current configuration and there was never an issue before. This just seemingly happened out of the blue...funny how computers do that sometimes, right? I have an HTC Aria, I was running CM7 RC1 when the problem happened, I just updated to RC2 hoping maybe it would change and it didn't.
After reading posts and checking settings here's what I've found:
My wireless router is set to act as the DHCP server. I set all of the IP addresses manually. I've had it set this way for some time, haven't made any changes recently. The attached network storage (D-Link DNS 323 also has DHCP server capability, but that is disabled)
I found that while my phone was set in the router's setting to connect to 192.168.1.67 for whatever reason it was connecting to 192.168.0.200 (which is out of range, my DHCP is set to address to 192.168.1.64 - 192.168.1.253)
Any idea what would cause this?
I have a temporary fix right now, I've set the phone for static IP and entered all the values. It now connects to my home network on the correct IP and appears to work. This will be a hassle though because there will likely be conflicts when I try to connect to public wifi or at my office. I could just go in and set it back to automatic IP when I leave home....but that is a hassle, and obviously, something isn't working quite right.
Anybody have a clue what would be making this happen?
thanks!

I don't understand when you say your router is your DHCP server but you set all the addresses manually...I can understand setting your network storage and media streaming to static IP's but you may want to reconsider for everything else, if your router allows for that to happen.
Have you tried rebooting your router and switch? May be worth doing that. I would not recommend a RESET because you'll have to reconfigure everything and I know how much of a hassle that is.
So, when you say you set the phone for static IP, do you mean through the phone gui or through the router?
Another thing to check is the number of available IP addresses. You could be out. I doubt this is the case in a home network, but never hurts to check.
"Do you mind if I turn up the AC?"
I have somewhat of a similar situation... I just installed CM7 RC2 and I can connect to my home's wifi and browse the internet etc... but some apps like Facebook won't update. With Facebook, I can retrieve messages sent to me but the news feed never updates and I can't view profiles. And for some reason everything works when I use my university's wifi...

Didn't help I don't get what's happening. I can use the browser fine but certain applications always time out and won't update.
I have the same problem. I've found the following apps to not work correctly when I connect my Sprint HTC Evo 4G (CM 7.0.3.1) to my home wireless network (Apple Airport Extreme Base Station):
Facebook (news feed won't update)
Amazon MP3 (Only the cloud player doesn't work)
Netflix (won't let me log in)
Speedtest (downloads fine but shows 0.00Mbps for uploads)
Again, all features works great on 3G or on the wifi at work (a university network running WPA2 Enterprise with LEAP authentication), which leads me to suspect there's something wrong with my home wifi setup. I have updated the Airport Extreme to the latest firmware and reset it several times yet the problem persists. Any ideas?

[Q] wifi and 3g drop out's

has anyone else had problems with wifi and 3g just dropping and then coming back like over and over again on the latest gingerbread builds ?
Yes
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Yes. And it's really, really annoying. But I have noticed it happens way more often on certain APs. I even have Wifi Analyzer running, and the signal never drops when the Wifi cycles. When I'm at work, it may only happen every few hours, even with a much weaker signal from the AP.
It used to be a problem that people would have drops when their screen turned off, but you can fix that by going into advanced Wifi settings and telling to never disconnect. I'm not sure what's causing the problems lately, but I don't remember having this issue with Cyanogen 7.0. Just the 7.1 branch, so far as I can tell, has this issue.
Ok good its just not me.. It's very frustrating as i need these to work like they use to and like dummy i can't find a rom that it was fine on i by mistake deleted all my older copies of build i was using
I am experiencing the wifi cycling as well.
chlila
Try using an exteranl
I have noticed my 3G starting to drop in and out. I didn't know if it was just me or not. Glad to see it is not just my phone though.
Yes i read of a fix but it did not work for me so i am going to MacRom . it and tazz stuff come from a different source if i got it right and don't have this problem.
Yes, I've been downloading an app in the past, turned off the screen and lost 3g connection. Really frustrating.

At this point not sure what to do i have tried ever new rom have done all suggestions to fix it nothing. I guess back to old school...
Assumed you've checked already: Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > National data roaming is checked (along with Data enabled) but International data roaming unchecked. System select is set to Automatic?
I've checked it & IDR was somehow turned off & it caused "connection errors" whenever I switched between 3G/1X data and turning off/on wifi network.
Flashed from the "newest" radio to Sprint (also CDMA for the Hero) - now, Baseband ver. 2.42.02.10.29 - seemed to helped somewhat with reception at home with very, very poor 3G coverage - getting horrible1X data speed ( .... what's 3G) Now, speedtest.net showing 208 kbps d/l and 211 kbps u/l - before, it was 140 kbps d/l and 950 kbps u/l - as tested on data connection when switched off home's wifi router.
Well tried what you just suggested and nope still not working right. so let's fresh wipe of everything including sd card.. did that reset router did that . turn off power for like 20 seconds or more to router did that . did what you just said to try nope no luck. And set to not sleep when screen turns off. none of these have help one single bit. About to pull my hair out smash this little bugger and go get some other kind of phone.....
Have not flashed GB on my wife's Eris yet, but I have seen this on my OG Droid & have not been successful resolving it -- some have reported success by changing to a fixed IP & WiFi sleep policy of Never in Advanced Wifi settings -- did not work for me...

touchpad Android wireless issues sorted

Should probably go in development but as a noob I can't post their yet.
Since updating to CM7 A3.5 I started having wireless issues. Would lose IP connectivity but connection up. Other wireless devices no issues and previous CM7 versions had been okay.
Updated to Xron 2.91 on here which seemed to make things worse.
Ran a wifi signal app and noticed neighbours AP on the same channel. Reconfigured mine and have had no touchpad issues since.
As all other devices were fine I didn't think of checking the frequency. Obviously the touchpad is a bit sensitive.
Hope someone else benefits from this. Thanks to those who released the Xrom and CM7 roms. Makes the touchpad a wicked cheap tablet.
Matt.
This has been talked about before and is considered one way of fixing wifi problems. If you still can't connect you could make the touchpad forget the network from settings and reconnect again. Using an app like regpon wifi keep alive helps a lot and finally a reboot helps if everything else fails

Also: Make sure your date/time is correct and a reboot into webOS often fixes it.
Yeah the wifi issues seem to be a hit or miss. Sometimes changing the channel works for people. Other times it's just the router. I would need to always "forget" the connection before turning my TP off then reconnect after at my house. But it works perfectly at my friends house. Thanks for the post though. It might help others with this issue.
i was just going to actually post in the thread, but like you, i am a newb with insufficient rights =)
ive done 4 touchpads, 3 different routers, cm7 3.0/3.5 and xronified 2.1 and to 2.9:
-asus rt12n w/tomato 1.28 in WDS mode with WPA1 AES on channel 11:
runs flawlessly on every revision and touchpad ive done so far.
-airlink ar670w w/ddwrt sp1 with WPA2 AES on channel 11:
initially connects but when TP goes to sleep, it will not reconnect on wakeup and strobe on and off and lock up wifi settings. cm7 3.0/3.5 and xronified 2.7/8/9
-linksys wrt54g w/hyper thibor with WPA2 AES on channel 11:
same results the airlink with ddwrt
after searching and experimenting, ive gotten both the linksys and airlink to play nice by doing the following:
1) changed encryption from WPA2 to WPA1
2) changed channels to 6 or 1 (personally i just picked whatever seemed less crowded)
3) disabled wifi sleep and scanning on TP.
4) rebooted TP into webos then back into android and rebooted router.
hope one or some of these solutions helped.
Even if your other devices weren't having issues being on the same wifi channel can cause packet loss due to interference making your Internet feel slower.
I also read that people had succes using the FXR Wifi Fix app to fix some of their wifi issues. If anyone is still having issues, you might want to try that out as well.

Download the apk and install manually from computer. just connect the touchpad to the computer and copy the file over.
The fxr app does restore my wifi connection, but does not permanently fix my disconnect issues. I am trying out the regpon app now, so hopefully this will help maintain my connections!
As far as messing with routers, this is not an option for me as I use my school's wifi network when I'm working in my lab.
I have only dropped once at home and after forgetting the network and reconnecting I never had trouble again.
First post here... Just want to say that this is an amazing community. So many cool heads willing to spend time to help. It's awesome. With guidance from many of you(I have done EXTENSIVE reading around here for days), I just did my first CM install on my TP and I am in heaven.
The solution I'very found is to tap the icon next to the back icon and then the wireless icon. Don't even know what the icons called, butit has buttons to turn. on/off wifi, Bluetooth, suond and what I'm assuming is the camera.

Jelly Bean build that doesn't drop wifi connection?

Like quite a few people I've been having problems with my S3 dropping the wifi connection, even though though I have "keep wifi on during sleep" set to Always (and have turned off wifi powersave mode using *#0011#). The connection also sometimes drops when the screen is on and actually downloading content.
I've tried various CheckROM and Wanam Lite builds and they're all had the same problem.
Is anyone running a Jellybean build that doesn't drop the wifi connection when in sleep mode?
That has nothing to do with the S III.
I was having this problem with both my S II and S III, tried several kernels in both, but then I found out the problem was with my network configuration.
I changed a few settings in my wi-fi access-point and now everything works correctly.
This is my setup:
- Wireless Multicast Forward (WMF) -> OFF/DISABLED
- WiFi Protcted Setup(WPS) -> OFF/DISABLED
- Auth -: WPA2-PSK with AES
Note: WPA2-PSK doesn`t work well with TKIP because if the phone by any chance falls back to 802.11a/b, TKIP will fail and the phone won`t authenticate
- 54g™ Rate: Auto
- XPress™ Technology: OFF/DISABLED
- 54g™ Mode: 54g Auto
- 54g™ Protection: Auto
- WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) : OFF/DISABLED
Actually, if I enable WMM(Wi-Fi Multimedia) my phone will sometimes not even connect to the access point. I found that disabling WMM had the best impact in my network`s stability.
Besides, I used an app called Wi-Fi Analyzer (free from the Play Store) that tells you what nearby wi-fi networks use which channel. I chose a channel that nobody was using and was more isolated from all the others. Do not leave channel in AUTO mode, because the AP might choose one that has lots of traffic.
In my house (where the setup above is installed) I have several neighbours using channels 1 to 8, but nobody using channels 9, 10, 11. SO I chose 11 because it has absolutely no interference from channel 8.

Ouch... better tell the guy to just shoot himself in the foot!
I'm EXACTLY the same.
I've been having Wifi dropout issues on every JB rom, was fine on ICS.
Tried power saver off (#*0011#).
Wifi sleep policies
Reflashing and flasihng other roms
Flashed different kernels
Flashed different modems
Fix permissions
various wifi fixers from the market.
AND IVE TRIED MANY MANY wireless access points around and about the country, all have the same issue (its not access point settings dependant)
All dont make a scrap of difference.
It makes Skype calls a nightmare.
One thing that i think helps, and im not 100% sure, but havent noticed any dropouts when applying this fix:
Root Explorer:
Turn off wifi. Mount R/W , go to efs/ and etc/ and /data/misc -> all three of these have a wifi folder in there. Set the permissions to rxrxrx (tick all 9 boxes) on each of these folders. And then turn wifi on again. And its USUALLY okay...
If you restart you will have to change the data/misc permissions again as it resets (so does the #*0011# trick).
Have a go, see what you think - i think it sort of works for me... but again, not entirely sure.
Hope this helps someone.

It seems that Jelly Bean is also more sensitive about it than ICS - I never had these problems with ICS.
My wireless routers don't have all of the settings that you'd listed - only these:
Buffalo router:
- Encryption (set to AES WPA-PSK - WPA2 is not available)
- Key renewal period (set to 60 mins)
- AOSS button (set to disabled)
- Wireless Mode (set to 11g/11b auto, but have also tried 11g only - "54M Turbo" )
- BSS BasicRateSet (set to Default)
- Multicast rate (set to Auto)
- Framebursting (set to 125* High speed mode)
- 802.11g protection (not enabled)
- DTIM period - set to 1
- Output power - set to 100%
Draytek Router (unable to check all current settings at the moment!):
- Security (set to WPA2/PSK)
- Mode (11g/11b/mixed)
- Packet Overdrive (enabled/disabled)
- Long Preamble (enabled/disabled)
Any ideas which of the above settings might cause issues with wifi on JellyBean?
I'll try the file system permissions thing later, but the fact that it needs to be repeated after every reboot is obviously a pain!
I have problems with the wifi at work too. Everything was working fine with the Draytek 2800 series wireless router (cannot remember the exact model) until the Jelly Bean update. I have tried different (stock) JB ROMs and modems (although modems are not related, i tried just in case). Each time I try to connect to the wireless network it is as if I am doing a DoS attack and no one can access the intenet until I turn the wifi off on my GS3. All it does in that time is "Work Network found" -> "authenticating" then the network disappears and reappears in a few seconds and then it is the same thing all over again. Of course I have tried forgetting the network, and re-entering the wpa key. I have also tried doing a factory reset to the phone, as well as the "*#0011#" method. None of these things worked. No one else is having any trouble with the wifi at work - and I wasn't until the JB update, so it must have to do with it, but I cannot find any work-around.
I have not been able to reproduce the problem with any other wireless network. Everywhere else that I have tried it works flawlessly.
Any help/ ideas would be appreciated!
I've now tried changing the firmware on my main (Buffalo) router. I tried DD-WRT, now Tomato, and my JB ROM won't stay connected to either.
Also having same problem since installes JB. i wnt wifi to stay on even when phone sleeps but cnt get it done like on ICS. Settings dnt change anything. How to fix that?

Why is my phones Wifi so extremely slow?

My Internet speed is roughly 50 down and 5 up. I use a Netgear modem/router (this was the router that worked correctly with all of my demands). I have an iMac that will get the full 50 download speed via wifi. My iPad gets around 30 (not the full 50 but satisfactory)... but my Note 3 is around 1Mbps. Maybe sometimes it'll spike up in speed for a few moments... But it's so inconsistent. I tried using different channels on the router.... No improvement. (the upload speed is fine though. It'll usually be the full 5mbps)
Any ideas on what's going on? Any settings on the router I can try to help improve this? (stock note 3).
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Digital Trends has an article that has some tips on this issue:
Glitch: Wi-Fi issues
Some Note 3 owners are having trouble connecting to Wi-Fi networks, finding that the Wi-Fi is very slow, or that the device keeps dropping the connection. There are a ton of potential reasons for this and consequently there are a ton of potential fixes. Here’s what you can try:
Workaround:
Some people with stability issues have been able to get solid Wi-Fi connections simply by making sure that mobile data is switched off. Just drag down the notification shade and toggle Mobile data off.
Potential solutions:
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and tap Menu > Advanced and then uncheck Auto network switch. That seems to have helped some people.
Try turning off the Note 3 and your router for a few minutes and then turn them both back on again.
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and long press on the problem connection, then tell the device to forget it and set the connection up again from scratch.
Try out the free Wi-fi Analyzer app and see if crowded channels could be the issue. If so then change the channel on your router.
Make sure that your router firmware is up to date and check settings like MAC filtering.
If you’re having stability issues then you might try disabling the apps Wi-Fi Direct and Wi-Fi Direct Share via Settings > Applications manager on the All tab.

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately nothing seemed to of helped.
I do not know how to tell which type of router I have. I can tell you it took many routers to find the right one (NetGear C3700). I went through a bunch of Time Warner crap and several from Best Buy......even Motorola's flagship modem/router. It needed to do the following:
Provide open NAT type for Xbox live
Allow my Android device to recognize the Xbox One as a device on my network (pics, vids & music through the console)
Allow Android Youtube app to communicate with the Xbox One Youtube app.
Allow proper connection to my iMac via Wifi (One of Time Warner routers would not work with my iMac)
My BT and Wifi havent worked the same since the KitKat update - Thanks again

I do not know how to tell which type of router I have. I can tell you it took many routers to find the right one (NetGear C3700). I went through a bunch of Time Warner crap and several from Best Buy......even Motorola's flagship modem/router. It needed to do the following:
Provide open NAT type for Xbox live
Allow my Android device to recognize the Xbox One as a device on my network (pics, vids & music through the console)
Allow Android Youtube app to communicate with the Xbox One Youtube app.
Allow proper connection to my iMac via Wifi (One of Time Warner routers would not work with my iMac)
My BT and Wifi havent worked the same since the KitKat update - Thanks again

Man that sucks, I had serious issues with 4.3. since KK I've been rocks solid with WiFi,
You might try to old factory reset (which sucks I know) just backup first so if there is no change you can restore easy enough.
What ROM are you running? Stock?
Set your wireless channel away from everyone elses. There is a setting where you can just set it to just 802.11N save it. Try setting your wifi port to static for your device. Check your wifi settings on your device. Make sure your using the same channel on your device as for the router.

I've already tried a factory reset since the KK update (for Bluetooth issues). No help.
The phone is stock.
I've tried changing around the channels a little bit with no success so far. How can I change the channel on the device? How do I set the port to static for my device?
Thanks
