Random Wifi Disconnection - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anybody have their SGS2 disconnect the Wifi randomly, even when the phone is under active usage (no internet usage though). My Wifi sleep policy is set to never so it shouldn't be the culprit although it seems like the case.

Anybody encountered similar problem? Or is it due to an app of mine or I got a faulty set?

Never.

Hmm I suspect it has got to do with my apps or something but I just couldn't single out the culprit.

Mine has done that since I got it two months ago. It stayed that way through four stock firmwares and all of the Lite'ning Roms. I typically have to reset it to get it working...

check your data usage or power saving usage...theres option to disable wifi....

That's not the case..
I noticed that Wifi Sharing is taking up the biggest portion of my battery life and I suspect it is the cause of my problem.. Any idea how to solve it?

Ooh dude, so many threats about it! Use Bloat Freezer or Titanium Backup to 'freeze' Wifi Sharing. This disables your phone from detecting and launching the program until you want to 'unfreeze' it again.
It's a way to actually turn off applications.

Wifi randomly disconnecting. For me, turning it off and then back on again fixes it, but only for a little while. It's an issue I've had since the phone was new, despite trying four different factory firmwares and 5 custom roms.
The wifi sharing bug is a different issue but you will need to root your phone to fix that. No root, no fix. I suspect the official 2.3.4, when it's released, will have a fix for that though.

Thanks. But it's weird that I can hardly find anybody else sharing the same bug except for you. I suspect it may be related to some apps or we got a bad batch..

There are actually quite a few, but most don't start a new thread to try and report it. I've seen several threads discussing it and it's also mentioned in a few of the custom rom threads in the development section.
I'm going to start trying different modems and see if that fixes it...

I'm having the same problem here. I've tried 3 stock firmwares including the new 2.3.4 firmware. Like the other guy says, you can fix it by turning wifi off and on again. I'd still like a proper fix though.

Yup, happens to me as well since day 1. Incredibly annoying. Especially if you plan on leaving your phone overnight with WiFi on, absolutely no data gets transferred. :-|
Here's another thread describing the same issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098614.

I had this problem with my nexus s, being a network engineer it seemed to me to be like a dhcp problem, I went to my router and low and behold my phone had been given about 20 IP addresses. I gave it a static address of 192.168.1.5 correlating to its Mac address (subnet dependent of course), and it worked fine after that... Give it a try guys I think it's a router compatibility problem, or just gremlins in the tube

If I access the wireless client list on my router it only lists one address per device. Unfortunately I only have the one router, no access to a spare, so can't test it on another router...
I had originally set the router to G only (first attempt to fix issue), but have now set it back to mixed. Maybe under the different modem the N will work better? Stab in the dark...

Try giving it a static address to see if it solves the issue. Are you still connceted to the router when the data stops transmitting, or do you lose the icon at the top and disconnect completely?

Well, about that... I'm now running Lite'ning Rom v2.0 with KG1_CF-Root_CWM_kernel_by_sorg (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15541364&postcount=1118).
I have also changed my router from g back to mixed (b/g/n).
My problem seems to have gone away now. I'll wait and see what happens, but will try your suggestions if it comes back.
When I was having issues, the wifi icon at the top was still there and also showed that I was connected. My mobile data connection was not active. Everything seemed to indicate that I was connected to wifi, yet when I tried to connect to market, RSS feeds or the XDA app it said that there was no connection.

Data disconnected

Hello all, I am not sure if any one has mantioned this or not. I looked thru the whole Atrix forum and could not find anything. I just got the Atrix about a week ago. I noticed that after using the data for couple of hours (Streaming music) it disconnects and I dont have access to data till I power off for a while and power on again. it is the same story every time I use data for 1 or 2 hours. replaced the phone once already including the SIM card and still the same thing. Any one having the same problem? Please reply. Thanks.
Am I in the right forum? If not, please forgive me, let me know and point me to the right direction? Thanks.
So you lose data completely? No h, e, 3g? Just bars? I had a similar issue on my captivate if I drove around listening to Pandora sometimes it would randomly stop playing till I went to the next song.

Well, I see the H+, but the little arrows (TX/RX) right underneath it disappear and I have no data connection and all this is happening while I'm in the same spot (In my room or at work at my desk). Also a window pops out saying Network Error. Also, I never see E or 3g. It is always H+ even when there is only 1 bar. Is that normal? Here is a picture of it. It just did it to me. Now i have no data connection unless I power down for a while. Here is another Pic. If you notice, there are no Arrows under H+.

It happens to me on data only without wifi on or off. I was just wondering if this was happening to anyone else. I guess no one used the data long enough to see this problem. It looks like this is a Motorola problem and I will have to return the device. Don't want to but don't want to keep a defective device.

Check your Battery Manager -> Battery mode setting. I think by default it's set to Nighttime sleep, which (in theory) shouldn't affect any music streaming or sync apps until night time, but it's possible that the profile is wonky. Try using the performance option or the custom (even though custom warns you of this very same issue).
This issue finally happened to me today.
I think it had to do with Extended Controls widget not correctly enabling/disabling the data apn.
In settings everything was right but I could not get the network even though it was showing the H+.

Hi. If you keep using the data nonstop, you will see that it will happen to you more often. I read some where in a forum that Motorola is having some kind of a power management problem on these devices (Atrix4G & Bionic) where it over heats and effects the RF radio and Motorola is denying it. I am not sure how much of it is true. I can not find that article.
Here. I fond it. Every one, read this.
http://androidcommunity.com/motorol...-suffering-unfixable-power-problems-20110126/
Hey all, Guess what I just found out. After talking to few AT&T tech support about the problem I am having with the device, they transferred me to Motorola tech support. Guess what they told me. The Motorola Atrix 4G is not a 3G device. It is only strictly 4G device. WOW. That sucks. I thought this was E, H & H+ device. That is not what I was told in the AT&T corp. store when I went to purchase it. I was told that it is a 3g/4G device and if there is no 4G network it will drop down to 3G. But I don't think that is the problem. The device is defective. Just now I power off and power back on and it is working fine so far and I don't think we have 4G network in my area.
Update: 03/11/2011 02:13PM PST PDT
Hello all. I am just doing an update. I went and replaced the device one more time (3rd device, 4th SIM card) and it is still the same. It keeps disconnecting from Data every 1 hour or so. I finally called Motorola tech support. The first level tech support could not help me, so he transferred me to second level tech support. The second level tech support told me that they are going to try it on their own devices that they have and call me back the next day. So they did. She called me back the next day and told me that they could not duplicate the problem (of course). So she said she is not going to let it go, she is going to sent it to the engineers to see if they can find out what the problem is and she is going to call me back on Monday 03/14/2011. If they still have no solution for this, I’m going to return the device and reverse my upgrade. It is just a shame that Motorola (being the first in communications) has to get beaten by other Competitors.
any update on the issue? im starting to have the same problem with my atrix.
Unfortunately, this seems to be happening to quite a few people. There's a longer thread on it here:

Nope. Even Motorola Level 2 & 3 Tech support could not resolve the problem. They wanted me to sent the device to them for more trouble shooting. I finally returned the device and reverse my upgrade. I suggest you do the same if haven't past the 30 days.

WiFi refuses to turn on...

Seriously I really hate to be a complainer, and start another one of these threads.But I have no choice....got my Prime today from BB and well everything else works fine.....except the WiFi won't turn on....after a few mins of it "turning on" it says "error"....
Did several wipes and factory reset...nothing
Called ASUS and he tells me do everything I already did....
I also downloaded lastest firmware off of ASUS site and updated...still nothing....
I think they forgot my antennas...lol
Help please! And thanks.....
Nothing huh?
Ok.....
That sucks. RMA it and complain like crazy until they give you free stuff. Tell them its unacceptable especially after having to wait so long to get it.

Well that's insightful...except it was like this out the box...
Have you tried resetting the wifi router or trying a different wifi location? Wifi can have compatibility problems when mixing wifi specifications. Also routers sometime assign an IP without the device properly connecting and then not releasing it properly.
I have this problem with my Nexus One every now and again. Reboot the router usually fixes it. I also had a Windows Mobile phone in the dark ages of my life that only connected to 1 or 2 of the 10 different wifi spots I would hit.
Other than that sounds like an RMA is in your future.
Ok let me be clearer....the WiFi on the Prime won't turn on...not connect...it just won't turn on...which means it doesn't get as far as connecting...
That stinks =(
Will BT turn on? And have you tried getting a GPS lock? Just some additional things to mention when and if you RMA.
Bluetooth works fine.....don't really care about GPS...with WiFi it'll work....

Can you explain "won't turn on"? Because when I would have this happen on other Android Devices there was not much feedback between turning on or connecting. You basically would check the box and nothing would happen. I would have to use a log monitor, 3rd party app or login to the router to get more information on the process.
Of course, the Prime is my first Honeycomb device, so maybe it gives more feedback then I am used too.
If it definitely is not actually coming on then it is certainly defective and you should return it or RMA. I would recommend returning because you deserve a new device and not a repaired one. Also its unlikely a retailer would check for any rooting.
Try draining the battery till its turns off by itself then charge for a couple of ours and see it loads the driver

Did the Wifi ever work? Mine was set up automatically when I first turned the tablet on. Did you go through that initial setup as well? Did it fail to connect from the beginning? I never had to "turn mine on" from the start. Did you disable the wifi radio at some point for some reason?

I don't know linux but I think there is a command called dmesg or something like that that will log the last few things that are going on. Maybe with a terminal app you could get a log right as you try to enable wifi. Some one might know the.command.

Anyone knows if/how I can use 'wireless tether' on my phone to get a connection using the Bluetooth option instead of WiFi? Thanks.
If it didn't work on the initial boot when you got it, then I would assume there's an issue with your wifi radio. I would call ASUS and RMA it. No reason it shouldn't work from stock. Software won't fix that.
Or hope best buy B&M have them by next week and exchange it...

[Q] ICS

with the new ICS coming just around the corner, I have tried to do so research on it, but still do not know a couple of things, is it smoother, and there seem to be a wifi issue, sometimes I have to keep manually connecting to the wifi after unlocking the screen, will that still be an issue. I think for me that was one of the big issues sothey must have fixed it with the ICS update.
Wifi has not been resolved. I am fine when not hibernating but even with it set to stay on it always disconnects when the screen goes off or in the cradle. Sucks but nothing I lose sleep over.

Issue hasn't been resolved YET. ICS has not been released and as far as I am aware 3.2.1r2 was the last update issued anywhere and the WiFi issue was only just starting to become apparent when that was pushed out. Give Sony a chance to work it out.
I was watching qvc this morning and they are selling a coby tablet that has ICS on it. Lol
I wish we can get it already.
The tablet s I bought here has no issue with the wifi problem mentioned.
Most of the times, I don't have that problem, but I think it's just the reconnection that is fast enough to not bother me.

Which firmware version are you on then?? Mine is THMAS0032400.
Here I am again, and mine also have the "never disconnect wifi" option selected and works ok. I put a big file copying from my lan, then the tab entered in the standby mode, and after a while I checked again and the file was copied, so no connection dropped in my case. And I also remembered that even in standby I hear the new emails notification and the green light starts blinking also, so no drops here.
Mine has THMAS0112400, 3.2.1 r2, kernel 2.6.36.3, Portuguese edition.

Wifi running super slow, please help. (Solved in my case)

Hi!
I was noticing issues a few days ago but never though they were phone related but I just did a test and the downloads speeds are horrible with Wifi. I mean .21mps and upload just scored 2.81Mb
On one random test it got about 8 download just 15 mins ago but after that is all super slow.
No idea what kind of settings I can tweak here.
In comparison a HTC Amaze gets 11Mb download in the same spot and even the horrible Wifi of the TF201 transformer Prime gets about 6Mb :/
Any suggestions?
PS UPDATE
In my case it was the router.
Got a Linksys E2500 and now all my devices max out my internet speeds...happy ending!
Yup! I also noticed this after the 290 update, so it's definitely a software issue (thank god). I noticed around two weeks ago that my download speed was at 12 Mbps, which is what it should be at, but one day later it was at 7. So I logged on my 2.4GHz network instead of 5GHz, and it was back to normal... well, until it wasn't. It had gone down to 7 again. And that's how it's been for the past two weeks. I have no idea why this happens, but it is driving me crazy. It's nice to see that I'm not the only one with this issue though. It helps a little while to switch between the frequencies for me, but I'm getting really tired of it.

Alright, so you have a Netgear too. Interesting. But I didn't have any issues on 257, so it's kind of strange.
I'm completely blank, and I have no idea what the problem might be. How much data has AndroidOS used on your ZU on WiFi?

How can you check data usage under Wifi only.. like maybe just restart it and let it sit to see what it is doing?
I am going to ask on the Dogg Rom thread what people is getting with Wifi too.
Go to data usage, tap the three dots and then "show WiFi usage".

For today is showing 101MB Android OS
Right now it is getting into almost 4MB download and 5 upload so that is better than the .21s of before but it just keep changing all the time while my HTC Amaze gets almost 20Mb downloads! :/
I even though of getting a more modern router!
Ah, okay. AndroidOS here has used 3.8GB so far this month, which isn't normal at all. It should be around 50MB. It doesn't add up at all. What system service is using that much data? The answer is non, which makes this another mystery on my part.
I have read a lot about people having the same problem as me, but they also had really bad battery life and it's usually easy to catch the guilty service, but my battery is awesome and AndroidOS only uses data while I'm on Wi-Fi... Like what the hell...! I'm drawing complete blanks here

Wow I just saw that from Jan 1 to Jan 9 I have 3.60GB of Android OS and 1.6GB of youtube...so that is more than double my actual Youtube Wifi usage! WTH :/
Gasp... I got almost 6GB Android OS usage in one week?!?! Wth...
On the other note, that is weird why your Amaze got better speed compared to ZU, perhaps there's some incompatibility between ZU and your router? I'm using Asus and it works just fine, just did a quick speedtest, and pretty much same speed between ZU on wifi and ethernet on PC, 55-58Mbps
Are you on stock .290 ROM? What router is that?

Totally stock. 290, Asus RT N66U
Before, i was using Linksys E2000, wifi speed is only can reach half speed of ethernet.
And suddenly like at 11pm it started getting 16Mb down again and this morning it was still good...maybe my router is acting up indeed? I did try the HTC two more times like at 10pm and it dropped to about 6Mb compared to previous side to side tests where it was getting 16Mb and the Ultra only .21...yeah hard to track down the issue with so many random acts.
In any case, I am going to try a new router.
A local is selling a Linksys EA4500 for $75. If I can get it for $50, it should be an upgrade from what I got...I hope
I was getting just 1MBps of upload speed when sending my film through Wifi to my desktop. but when i change target (to my NAS) the speed is increased to 3MBps. I know it is still counted as slow, but just to inform that different target/source is another factor too.
LOL, take a look at this

Now is that because of the sync of data, pictures, apps, etc to google?

I don't sync my photos, apps etc. so it can't be that. I do have auto-sync on 24/7, but that's only gmail syncing and stuff like that. Automatic backup is disabled. The funny thing i noticed is that AndroidOS' data usage will increase whenever i use the YouTube app. Logic, not even once
Edit: Oh, and btw, regarding the WiFi issue we're both having, the upload/download speed is constantly at max on my computer, but not on the Ultra, so it has to be a software issue in 290.
I dont get it as other users do not have the same problem or so they claim.
I even asked on the Dogg Rom thread. And this morning suddenly mine was fine again. I am getting a new router to switch from 2.4 to 5 if that helps since at home there are too many close routers and too many wireless things.
Besides, many times I have to come home and uplug the router and plug back in for the wireless to connect so I am fed up with it

Yeah, it's strange that we're the only ones with this problem, and we both have Netgear routers I should probably move my router around and see if that makes a difference. It's currently sitting next to my TV and a lot of other gadgets, which isn't that smart
I have an oldie Netgear but someone is selling the wndr3400 for $40 local. Maybe I will give it a shot.

Question Anyone facing slow internet issue One Plus 11R? Especially when using WiFi.

I'm facing slow internet in my new One Plus 11R. All other devices connected to the same wifi works fine. When using WhatsApp, messages take forever to get sent. Payments are failing due to the internet issue. I have been using Vivo for past 5years and on the same WiFi for past 1year and never had these issues. Attached a screen recording for reference.
Do a speed test with another phone and 11r check the difference. I don't have a slow internet issue, maybe the new phone will get used to the wif range and it'll get better!

'Reset Network Settings' and see if that helps.

I don't see any issues with Speed Test. I can clearly see that there's a lot of difference in every task i do.

I can give a try. Honestly it's really frustrating to use the phone. Every request to any server takes forever to receive the initial response. Browsing is very pathetic. For e.g., reply or quote here took 10secs to load the message in the reply message box. It never appeared in the app. I had to switch to the browser. If I had realised it right after receiving the phone, i would have returned. Very bad experience with One Plus. Bought a flagship premium phone to use happily without any bugs. But this is unbelievable from One Plus.
Hey.. did u find any solution for this ? I am also facing the same problem.. Thanks !!
