[Q] Streak 5 WiFi not reconnecting - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is something I have not seen while trawling through posts on this great forum.
if I connect my wifi to my home router it works just fine. If I leave the house and return sometime later it is still enabled but does not reconnect. Sometimes it also does it when coming out of sleep. I'm on ss1.2 but I'm fairly sure it did it with other roms. My wifi sleep policy is set to never.
To get it to work I have to either toggle wifi off and on or go to settings and manually reconnect
Anyone got any ideas ?
Many thanks,
malty

Same setup. Same problem. Suspected my wifi router but maybe wrong.
Ensign.

Happens on mine too, if anyone has any info on what might be causing it, I am willing to troubleshoot on mine. For me it even happens on my work wifi.

Not sure what causes this, but I think it may be more of an Android issue than a Streak issue because I have seen similar complaints from the owners of many other Android phones.
Try going to Menu->Settings->Wireless & networks->WiFi settingsMenu key again->Advanced->WiFi Sleep policy
set this to Never
Another solution is to install an app that works in the background to deal with this. Blade WiFi fix is recommended by fards in the Gingerstreak thread. There are other apps that do the same thing.

[Q] cyanogenmod 7 wifi issues

I recently flashed on cm7 on my aria. it is great but my data usage began shooting up. i realized it was due to the fact that everytime i lock my phone, it disables my wifi (i saw this because everytime i unlock im on 3g for a 1-2 seconds then i get on wifi so that means that the whole time my phone is locked it uses 3g data ) is there anyway i can prevent this from occurring??
Thanks,
Okachowwa
Menu -> settings -> wireless & networks -> wi-fi settings -> menu -> advanced -> wi-fi sleep policy -> never
I think that's it.

Have you checked the Wifi Settings to see which sleep option is selected? There is an 'Never' option which tells wifi to stay on even when the phone sleeps.
One thing I noticed its that if I leave my house I have to turn off wifi and turn it back on to find my router.

yup...that's why you just turn your wifi off with the notification widget (very simple and painless might I add) if you know you're leaving the house...what's the point of having wifi enabled if you're not in range of your network? all it's going to do is drain your battery. i left my wifi enabled one day when i sent to work and within half the day i had ~12% battery life...definitely not good practice to leave it enabled that's my 2 cents, do as you wish though. to each his own.

Yup, I have the same issue with CM7 nightlies. This worked flawlessly in CM6 and stock2.1. So far there isn't a viable solution.
from the CM6.1.1 thread...
Q. How do I keep my wifi from going to sleep every time the screen shuts off?
A. There is a hidden feature that disables wifi sleep.
menu > Settings > Wireless & networks > wifi settings > menu (again) > advanced > Wi-Fi Sleep policy > Never > menu > Save
However: although you can keep the wifi service from sleeping, the wifi driver will still sleep on it's own after detecting no bus activity for a period of time.

I've made sure to set Wifi Sleep Policy to "Never" but that did not fix my wifi problems. What I see when I open Wifi Settings is a cycle of:
Code:
Scanning --> Connecting --> Disconnected... Scanning, etc
When I look in logcat it shows it attemping (in vain) to authenticate against the last wifi network I was using -- even though it is no longer in range (and clear across town). In a nutshell it is refusing to recognize the actual nearby network UNTIL I toggle wifi settings.
I've had the same behavior on FR008 and the stock ATT 2.1 load as well. When Wifi is in that on but not really connected state some apps can wake it up...the default browser usually will, but Listen would not. I just gave up and only turn on wifi when I need it.

What is the point of having wifi set to ON when you are not in range of a network? Hence why, if you are using CM7 or CM6, you should utilize the notification widget and turn wifi off if you know you're leaving the area of your network. It's simple. Things aren't ALWAYS going to work how YOU want them to work. Thing will not always be automatic. I think I quote attn1 when I say this, just because it doesn't work how you want it to work, does not mean it is broken.

Well, just because people don't work exactly like you work, does not mean they are doing it wrong. If something is broken I'm going to call it out. I might be incorrect, but let's be clear: you aren't questioning that wifi in CM7 isn't working the way it did in CM6, you are questioning my behavior -- which is a weak argument.
I guess you don't understand the issue, so I'll spell it out:
Wifi worked flawlessly and automatically for me in stock 2.1 AND CM6. This automatic behavior does not work in CM7. Manually toggling something that simply "just worked" before is a regression, not a feature. Hence the reason I point it out -- the devs can't fix something unless they know it's broken, and I seriously doubt the devs are able to test all/every permutation. I have nothing but respect for the work they do, thus my very respectful tones in my earlier posts. I've had no indication that the devs are unwilling to get feedback about their work.
You asked a question though, and here is the answer:
I leave Wifi on all the time because I'm a consultant -- I work in many different locations throughout the week, travelling the country. I have dozens of wifi networks saved on my phone, and it is useful for me to have my phone automatically jump on the correct, nearest network. I'd rather use free wifi instead of paying AT&T for data charges. It is not always possible for me to remember I'm in a location with a known wifi network, or to remember to manually toggle wifi settings: it is useful for me to have this happen in the background. Sometimes I'm on a call, sometimes I'm heading into a meeting and I'd rather not mess with my phone. I want wifi to be on all time, scanning for the correct network, and jumping on it when it's in range.
Outrageous, right?! Not actually -- this is the existing behavior in CM6 and stock 2.1. From my standpoint, wifi just worked -- I didn't have to think about it, didn't have to manually toggle something to prevent AT&T data charges.
This is desired behavior for me, and I'm happy with rolling back to CM6 to get it. I understand that _you_ don't need this behavior, but that doesn't mean it's wrong. It just means the world is bigger than you realized.
And yes: wifi in CM7 (beta) is currently broken. Read the threads. Many people are having problems with it.

fyi CM6 & 2.1 != CM7. Your argument is null & void.
Also, being a "consultant" and the very important man you are, flashing a rom that's not even in beta stages yet probably isn't the best idea you've ever had.

Why do you remind us that the rom is in a beta stage? "Beta" implies it is not fully functional, but your argument all along has been that it works perfectly....
Look, it's clear you haven't actually understood any of my posts. I'm highlighting error messages or erratic behavior I see in logcat running CM7. I've posted what I've seen so the devs can take action, or not, as they choose. Since you aren't in that audience I don't understand what your beef is.
Oh wait! Straw man arguments; personal attacks; logical fallacies: I've been dealing with either a highschool student or a troll - not sure which.

That being said. Beta does NOT necessarily imply that thing are not fully functioning, it simply implies that it hasn't been put into RC or stable. You can have a fully functioning beta program. HOWEVER, it may not be working properly. But creating a thread about an issue that's been brought up 20+ times now is pointless. I'm PRETTY sure the devs know about the issue, should it actually be an issue. Now that I just wasted another 15 seconds of my life, i'm going to casually /part from this thread and I'll end my post with this quote again, in case you didn't catch it the first time.

There are no broad wifi issues to resolve, and I do not plan to change the wifi driver one iota. I am using the one that works right for most people, and flawlessly for me.
If you are not having such luck, then you need to look at your access point if you have already wiped data.
Really, the constant carping about wifi is absolutely pointless.

I believe the proper thing for me to say right now would be:
game. set. match.
Me too. I can't roam between networks, either. I have to disable and re-enable the wifi each time.

1) Because Google Maps uses known wifi hotspots to help establish your location.
2) So that you don't have to keep toggling wifi on and off when moving between hotspots (or home and work, for example).
3) To use the network notification feature (aka "notify me when an open network is available").
HTH
Edit: seems to be fixed in RC3!

i have try everything and still same issues with wifi. and i change the radio ( baseband ). still i am thinking of uninstalling it bc i dont have wifi
Sorry to tell you but that was with the old wifi stuff (every nightly up to build 25), which I had no problem with. The RC/nightlies have new wifi data made by jznomoney, which I have on and off problems with. Its working for most people but there are a handful who are having problems. I flashed ladios' kernel and my wifi is doing a lot better with the new RC/nightlies.
Signatures are fancy.

I've noticed something similar with CM7 on my Aria. When I leave the house and come back it doesn't always connect automatically and it will enter into this cycle of scanning, connecting, disconnected.
I had to reboot the phone to get it to stop the cycle and stay connected. I don't use a lot of data anyway but I still prefer to use wifi when available. Interestingly just now it wouldn't even see any of my neighbor's wifi networks at all which is odd.

Wifi issues

I've been having issues with wifi on my tab. I visit a friends house and it won't pick up the wifi. My phone picks it up fine, laptops pick it up ect. I stand AT the router and still it doesn't pick it up.
I thought it was a 1 off but it started happening at work too. The only differenceis that is WAS working fine at work, now won't pick it up. And now I have the same issue at my parents.
Does anyone else have this issue? Does anyone know a fix?
Cheers
Try wifi sleep policy and play with the options. Mine was set to "Never" and I was having random problems. Now set to "when screen turns off", and I never lose connection, screen on or off... On the other hand your problem may be different.
/reviveThread
Can't be sleep policy as it picks up other wireless networks fine.
I was just living with this issue until it lost my Home Wifi! Now thats gone I have to turn Hotspot on my phone, which I shouldn't have to do.
I thought it might be a problem with the ROM, so I've tried Task's GalaxyTask v5.0 and I still have the same issue. Might try flashing Stock and seeing if I get the same issue.
This is doing my head in now!
I flashed 3.2 Stock (rooted) and it picked up the missing Wifi connections. The rom is full of hebrew with silly boot and shutdown animations though. Tried flashing several custom 3.2 ROMS other than that and same issue as before.
Also, added connection manually and stood next to the Wifi antenna at work. Still got nothing. WTH is going on?
I read somewhere that Galaxy tab is not able to connect to some channels of wifi.
I believe it was not working with channels above 11
Try changing the channel and check
Thanks for the reply.
My home network is on channel 3. Plus it doesn't really explain how it can work 1 sec then totally disapear forever. Also doesn't explain how it works with the stock hebrew ROM but not with any others I've tried.
Just trying to find the wireless details for work now so I can change the channel anyway.
Then go with the Hebrew Rom and select English as language

I'd rather have no Wifi than see that nasty looking shutdown animation.
Anyway, problem seems to be semi resolved now.
Changed my wireless from channel 2 to 12, still didn't show. Back to 2, still didn't show. Changed it to 10 and it magically appeared.
Not sure what the work one is on. Still waiting for access.

WiFi often doesn't connect until settings are opened

After a few searches, I still can't find any posts about the exact issue I'm having with my WiFi.
Often my WiFi won't connect to my routers I have saved when I turn it on or leave one location and enter another. It will just sit at scanning until the moment I open the WiFi settings menu, then it suddenly finds routers. I can let it sit for a long time and it still won't find anything until I click the settings, then they pop up and connect automatically like they should.
Is this a common issue, or is i just my X2?
What ROM/android version number are you running? Need more data to tell you what is going on.
It's been no matter what ROM. CM9, Eclipse, stock, it's always done it. Not every time, but randomly hit and miss.
There is a known issue with CM7 not staying connected to wifi, but that was fixed with CM9.
That issue shouldn't happen on stock though. It almost sounds like a hardware issue in your case.
That's what I was wondering. It's been the same since I've had it, and has never gotten worse, so I've just lived with it.

Yeah I can confirm this, mine does the exact same thing.
I don't get the disconnects that some people do (I may be using a patch related to the wifi sleep policy, I can't remember which roms that applies to), but it does the thing where it suddenly connects when you open settings, or the pulldown toggle only works half the time, or if you toggle it and then go to settings it can't actually find any networks.

[Fixed] WiFi Issue On Venom

I am having a peculiar issue. My Wi-Fi drops out and then reconnects every 30-45 minutes or so. I have the latest version of the ROM, flashed the boot.img in the thread, but it still doesn't fix my issue. It doesn't matter how far I am away from the signal, it just drops out temporarily, and then reconnects. I can't explain it. Other than that, it seems to be working great, but before I rooted and flashed, I never had any issues of any kind with the WiFi.
Also, it may be worth noting that I don't know for sure yet, but it may also turn on the WiFi automatically even though I have it set not to. Sometimes when I am out and about, I'll get a popup saying that WiFi networks were found nearby, do you want to connect etc...
Any help will be appreciated, I love this ROM and can't see myself going back on stock but this is a pretty cumbersome issue...
Re: WiFi Issue On Venom
Have you tried it out on other routers?
And fir the asking to join networks, there is a setting in wifi>advance for that.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
About the only thing that I haven't tried is another router, but the other devices on the network don't seem to be having any issues. Then again, it is an Airport, so...Yeah, I won't fully know until I get a chance to test it elsewhere...
But I know about the advanced setting and have it disabled. That's why I'm wondering it its something in the ROM or something that I did wrong that it keeps trying to come come back. My guess is that it's disconnecting the mobile network and resetting it, just as it is doing on the WiFi...
Update
Just in case someone else runs into this issue, the problem was with an app that I used to change my host name. It would intermittently interrupt my connection trying to do that. I uninstalled it and edited my build.prop file the old fashioned way. The issue didn't have anything to do with Venom, just the fact that I had rooted and tried new things.
Thanks for your help!

who keeps getting the wifi drop out issue and are there any fixes

Hi all
I have had my tab s6 for less than a day now and keep getting an issue where the wifi drops out and will not turn back on the only way to get it to turn on again is to restart the device it has happened 4 times and I have only had the tablet for just under a day.
Does anyone else have this issue and I'd do is there a known fix (have seen this reported by other forum users)
I posted in the WiFi section but I'll add here too. I'm getting the same thing multiple times a day. WiFi quits working. If you toggle it off in the settings it will not toggle back on. Restarting the tablet fixes it for a while.
No issues here. Works perfect (but comparing to my Kindle Fire HD10)

one thing i have noticed is it is only happening on some networks it does not appear to be happeing when i am at work but does at home however dont think its my wifi as multiple people are repoerting the same issue on the samsung website reddit and here.
Same here, no issues so far at work, but happening regularly at home. I wonder if it is a specific brand of WiFi router or a feature like mimo that is causing the tablet's WiFi to crash.
I'm using Netgear Orbi's at home with all the advance features on.
Happens a lot to me, I'm using Ubiquiti mesh access points. I wonder if it's related to mesh networks specifically.
Happens to me as well. From time to time, Wifi hangs/crashes on the Tab S6 on my Netgear Orbi mesh network at home. Reboot required.
I suspect it is some feature that is causing the WiFi crashes. I may try turning router features off to see if it makes a difference. For now it is just annoying but easy to reboot. I'm hoping the next firmware update resolves it. I'd expect there to be a bug fix one coming within a month or two after release.
Same issue
OK so at least it isn't me. I'm having the same issue. I'm on Google wifi. Sounds from the commenters that everyone is on a mesh wifi. Could that be the problem. Has anyone contacted Samsung about this already?

Not sure if mine is mesh or not I'm on talk talk in the UK but only have 1 access point however my hub does swap between 5 and 2.4 ghz so that could be causing it for me. And there is a thread on samsung community US and EU about the issue. If you just Google tab s6 wifi issue it comes up.

Good to know it's on those forums also (sorry but the more people experiencing the bug the more likely it gets fixed).
I did not have any issues with Wi-Fi until I stalled Blokada adblocker's latest Version. I re instalked the previous version and I have no issues again.
Whilst I'm not using a mesh WiFi at home I do have a router that swaps between bands. I'm thinking that this could be the cause but I don't have the issue at work (Meraki)

i would suggest we all go and write a review on there website as this would help to highlight the issue as widespread and hopefully they will fix the issue faster.
I have the same problem which happened on my home router when I went to another room and my other devices auto change from 5g to 2g the Tab 6 would not connect and when I returned to the first room it would not connect to the 5g network. Had to reboot. Where

On your Orbi, what advanced WiFi features do you have on or off? (Beam Forming, MU-MiMo, Fast Roaming) I have them all on and am seeing the issue only while at home on the Orbi WiFi. I'm wondering if one of those are causing the WiFi crashes.
