Ok so first off my internet connection is perfect, and it isn't my internet because my internet works fine, now to my issue....
My WiFi on my amaze turns off by itself every 5 minutes, but not only that it throttles and I can't get a stable connection to my internet, I tried loading google and it took me 5 minutes because my WiFi was disconnecing and not working even though I have full signal
It's not my Rom, or any Rom (it happens with my Rom, Mikes rom, and NRG's Rom)
It could be a hardware issue but I doubt it because my data connection is fine, although my connection has been weaker ever since this has started happening, any advice? Could be a radio issue but I havnt flashed a radio since the first leak so I dunno

I have the same issue. I'm on the latest stock ICS and my wifi has been acting up too. Weak signal strength and extremely slow. Wasn't like this before on GB. And, yes, my internet works fine on other devices at my house.

Does your security use WPA? I know that for some routers, the WPA handshake interval (also known as Key Renewal Interval) can be set too low. This is not something you can change with your phone, but with your router. I find that anything below 3600 *CAN* cause problems. Try changing it to 3600 and see if it improves.
Stupid question: Do you have the "Best Wi-Fi Performance" option selected? I find it that it helps sometimes.
No its not my router, my iPod touch 1rst gen loads pages fine, aswell as my old mytouch 4g

I have WiFi issues as well...I always reset the router everyday just to deal with it. The only time it works better is with stock. ICS or GB I don't have issues...only Roms.

My real world experience with it seems good .. but speedtest.net app shows only 5mb/s when is usually close to 15mb/s on hi.gingerbread (i pay for 15gb speed, so it made sense).
It never times out or has a hard time connecting tho
I'm running stock rooted .3 ics... Interesting find. I will keep an eye on it myself

Tried resetting your wifi router? That could be the issue, since I use both wifi/3G on the leak and official updates, both are fluent, hence the idea of a hardware issue possibly, but you can try reflashing the latest radio file. And I don't think wifi should affect network data, sounds like a hardware issue with that for sure.

I know, but it seems that the Amaze can be a bit sensitive. It wouldn't hurt to check the interval. If it's at 3600, great. If not, change it to 3600 and see if it improves.
It doesn't have to do with our routers. At least not mine. On GB, never experienced this issue. Same phone but now with stock .3 ICS I have trouble with connection and speed over wifi. Same at work. It must have something to do with the new ICS radio because I've experience the same issue on ARHD 2.2.1.

Then reflash the radio, see if it helps, my reception actually increased with the update, from 5-8mbps to 12-25mbps.
I should also mention that my wife's GS2 doesn't have WiFi issues. Stock GB...she won't let me do anything to her Sammy.

Done that. Flashed first leaked ICS - wifi issues. Flashed ARHD 2.2.1 - wifi issues. Flashed latest leaked/official ICS - wifi issues.
On the network, I get great signal and 23mbps in Beverly Hills. Wifi is just slow and weak. Pay for 10mbps download but phone does half of that.
Not a deal breaker for me but confirming eclipze wifi issues.

Actually I was talking about network speeds, my wifi speeds are about 12-25 always. Maybe you should try a complete system wipe using the wipe script then reflash, just to clean up any old files lying around that may be blocking things up.

Hi there
long time reader first time poster here...
searched and found nothing...
running the latest gingerbread AT&T official on a AT&T atrix (currently unlocked and running on the Rogers network in canada)
i seem to be having an issue with my Atrix lately(or at least been noticing).... normally when i am connected to the data networks fine, my signal meter and H+ are is blue...
what has been happening is if i leave the phone alone for some time (usually 20+), it just disconnects from the data services... all my signal meter and H+ meter turns grey... when i "wake" the device it takes a couple seconds to kick back to blue... when this is going on i go into my gtalk and i see it had signed me out and that its trying to sign me back in.... same thing with alot of other apps, like my issimo app, its been sign out, or hasnt received any new updates since it turned "grey".
how do i stop this? is this a bug? something wrong with the OS? will i have to reflash?
any thoughts on this would be appreciated!
thanks!
UPDATE:
had battery save mode on nighttime, so i thought that was the issue... so i changed it to performance and doing that had no effect at all... still losing data after a while of it being locked...
any ideas? could this maybe be some residual affects from a battery saver app i add?
i really would not like to reload the OS...
anyone got any ideas?
i'm finding any solution for the same problem, some atrix lose data signal, motorola says that is a software problem but i dont find a fix for that yet, any idea?
It's a software issue on Motorola's end. I'm having the same problem. I haven't flashed a custom ROM yet, but my friend had the same problem and he said when he flashed Gingerblur it was fixed.
when i seemed to notice it was when i had upgraded to gingerbread... so what i simply did was deleted my APN, rebooted and entered in the APN again, and that seemed to have solved it
@OP I don't use GTalk so I can't comment on that, but the signal than that you described is EXACTLY what my SGS does running on stock Froyo rooted.
I don't know if its more battery saving or what, but I tend to miss more calls in weaker signal areas when my phone has been on idle for a while.
I too am looking for a fix because of that. Also my Atrix sometimes acts the same way on Froyo, but I haven't used my Atrix in a while...

Tried many ROMS , Radios , all the same...

Yes I found this to be true as well. The new radio (1.77.36) dropped signal for me often and the speeds were lower than with 1.77.30

why not upgrade your radios to the latest AT&T has to offer? 1.97.00 see if that helps?
im having the same issue
anyone knows why this is happening? i have cyanogemod 7, i reflashed the phone, and when it started i restored but the problem just keep going
I have a very similar problem. When the H+ is lit up blue I have a network connection. But it will switch to grey then internet ect stops working ..still have signal (4 bars) any ideas why it keeps switching?
I've had the same issue ever since I first got my atrix. I've tried many different roms and it does it with every one. Ill have great signal n my browser will direct my to a no data connection page. I have to reboot or turn airplane mode off n on to get it going again. I have like a month left on my warranty gonna try n swap it out n see if a different one will fix the problem
I don't know if its just me but, my phone seems slow while on my home wifi. I haven't checked wifi anywhere else. And my signal on the phone seems to be weak at times even while sitting in the same room with my router. My cappy seems faster in this area. Also streaming some video seems to be slower on my sgs2 vs my cappy at times. Any tips/advice...?
BTW..my device is vanilla as of yet...

Well, at present, I'm on Cognition. So, I can't give an exact parallel as far as circumstances and setups; however, my phone is extremely fast when running on my wifi connection at home. I haven't really focused much on the reception, but from what I remember it has been excellent as well. If I'm in the same room, it's completely full. If I'm elsewhere in the house I still tend to have decent reception(more than just the one bar).
I'm not sure what to suggest for better performance outside of possibly considering flashing an alternative ROM instead of just running it stock. The process, overall, is honestly quite simple. I do understand though that some people like to run the phone the way that it came out of the box. It's just a suggestion.
Outside of that I mean maybe an issue between your router and your phone, but honestly I doubt that.
I appreciate the response. I'm puzzled by this...as I am no expert I'm also not new to flashing roms. My cappy is on a modded rom. I'm just giving the devs time to work out the bugs! Thanx again!

The BCM4330 used in a LOT of mobile devices just plain doesn't seem to like some routers.
At my home, the signal strength always looks low before connecting on my GS2, Tab 10.1, and Infuse (All BCM4330) - then it suddenly looks better when I connect.

Hates D-Link (battery drain, loss of range).
Loves Netgear (less battery drain than HSPA, excellent range).
At least that's the case with the international version.
Have a NetGear and my wifi flies. of the couple dozen or so routers I have set up for family and friends NetGear seem to always be the easiest to set up, connect the most consistently, and give the best all around speeds for both net surfing and console gaming.

My phone was downloading normal speeds earlier. Then I rooted in and flashed Cognition X2 beta 4.
Now my speeds are REALLY slow. (takes forever to download something as small as 4 Mb...)
Idk if anyone else is having the same issue
check your router for firmware updates, if there are, appy them and then retest if your speeds are still slow
Interesting..as I am using a d-link gaming router. Will have to check into firmware update..had the router a few years never updated it.

Hey guys,
tried to search if any other problems like this exist...
My WiFi seems to be disconnecting often... Meaning it still shows as connected, but it wont load internet pages or download anything / stop at some time downloading.
Now i tried to look at my WiFi with WiFi analyzer... at it seems that I am on the best channel for my area... but still... I also tried 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz same results it seems...
I am not happy with it... it seems so unstable, that even at home often i use 3G just because it doesn't crash that much... if the WiFi works i get great speeds though... but it seems like a hit and miss....
any idea?
You may ha e.faulty connectors as that is the problem w some of the one xs also go to WiFi settings switch it from auto to 2.5 GHz idk if 5ghz works well or not

I just updated the firmware on my router as well. Well check back after a couple days but so far so good
Wi-Fi not the greatest for me either. Running a WRT54GL which is one of the most rock solid routers ever with Tomato never have issues with it on my 3D or any other devices. Having similar issues you are having. Sometimes just not staying connected even though it shows connected. Other times no wi-fi on when I wake the phone. I'm guessing it's bugs other people have reported similar problems. Going to see how it performs after the next OTA update I'm hoping they fix some stuff. Also I hope they fix the very annoying set time zone message. Not sure what caues that but you are certainly not alone with the wi-fi issues.
I currently have mine set to 2.4Ghz only not auto since I don't use N for my phone there is no need for it and it sucks more battery at least it did on my 3D.
I would just hang tight and see what the next OTA brings.
This is disturbing. There seems to be a great deal of variation in build quality (i.e. Wifi issues, screen light bleed, data issues, etc.). I have had none of these issues with my phone. However, multitasking is a joke, and google wallet is broken after working previously. My phone is none stock at this point.

Posting it here as well in case someone remembers how hot their phone was when their wifi drops..
Just throwing in my experience for the record...
I'm a network administrator for a living so I know a few things about making wifi work. In a nutshell my Evo LTE will not maintain a stable conneciton to *any* wifi N network under any settings. I've tried mutiple routers and multiple ROMs for my phone and none would work properly. I'll spare you the details but channels, encryption, spectrum, root, preamble... nothing would work on N.
WiFi G = rock solid
WiFi N = sucks more than Paris Hilton
Since I concluded that G works perfectly I've just made sure to stick with G networks. Not worth fighting Sprint for a new phone that may very well do the same thing for me. :victory:
Not sure if you guys are having the same issue I've been experiencing, but my wifi issues have went away since using Mozilla firefox. I messed with my router settings, used 2.4 ghz, 5ghz, wifi n, wifi g, different security configurations, a bunch of different wifi apps, just about every browser on the market and as odd as it sounds, only Mozilla has solved my problem. If I use any other browser, I get hang-ups and phone gives me the impression that wifi isn't working. I don't know why or how mozilla works great while all other browsers' performance is inconsistent and frustrating but its a fact. I strongly recommend anyone with "wifi problems" give mozilla a try.
has anyone found a solution to this wifi issue?
i can connect to my home router with no problem, very stable. but outdoors, on cablewifi, or optimumwifi the connection is terrible. the signal shows connected, but there is no data being uploaded or downloaded. i think it might have something to do with channel congestion, but my friends iphone has no issues whatsoever.
so whats the deal with the evo's wifi radio???
Mine is still dropping wifi after the update. I had made changes to the routers at my home and work and it had gotten better but it still does it. Saw it happen just after updating and a few times since. Did anyone notice an actual wifi drop fix from this?
Nope! I am still having issues.
Have you tried changing the wifi frequency to 2.4 from auto in wifi settings/advance ?

Yes, I've tried all the tricks I've found. 2.4 only. disable bluetooth. disable nfc. best wifi performance. use wifi manager. At work I think it did get better when I completely separated the channels of our 2 wireless networks (2 and 10 I think, they're the only 2 within range) and set wpa2 AES only. Did the same at home. Went from dropping constantly to once in a while but still happens a lot. Other devices have no problems with wireless at work and home.
Mine still drops and my 3g also drops more and phone lags afther 4 apps are open

What hardware version are you guys on? Didn't they release a statement saying they would try to correct it with future device revisions?
I was finally able to connect to one WiFi that I wasn't able to before today after installing mean 1.4.
I'll update when I get in tomorrow to see if all the bad one go away.

Reporting back. While I am able to connect to more wifi spots sadly I cannot at my work. Still has the bouncing issue (I believe that's what it was called).
Let's hope for a fix, 3g just doesn't cut it at my office.
Update didn't fix a thing for me. Still dropping WiFi left and right for me, depending on the router.
My Apple Airport Extreme at home works great with my phone. Stays connected all day. It doesn't like the Linksys router here at work. I can watch the connection drop 15 to 20 times a minute.
Bone stock. Even ran the new RUU.....no dice.
Hi,
Love the phone, but the wifi is so bad it is ridiculous. First of all, I always have to do *#0011# to disable wifi saver otherwise is it completely unusable.
But even then, it randomly disconnects. Seems this device is simply unable to deal with many APs or many networks. It is completely useless for VOIP because of this.
Is this going to plague this phone always? Meaning: is this something that can be fixed by custom roms and or kernels (I know samsung will prolly never fix)? Or is it simply the hardware that is badly designed and will always suffer from this?
FWIW this is not a universal problem. I usually flash a new custom ROM version about once a week to keep up with the latest ICS firmwares, and have never had any wi-fi connection issues. I'm often on 2 wi-fi networks throughout the day (one at home and one at work). I've never done the *#0011# trick or anything like that.

I do wonder if it is hardware related then...
My understanding was that this is very related to the routers. All my APs are running dd-wrt. Very annoying to see my iphone and ipad never having these issues whereas my daily driver (the s3) is pretty flaky. Maybe someday there will be a true fix!
No issues here either. Have a multi AP setup at home and work with upwards ten SSIDs at work. Mostly g/n networks. 2.4 and 5GHz works equally well. No problems anywhere, not even in town at cafes or my parents crappy Thomson all in one ADSL modem/router.
Using AOSP but Sammy original worked fine also during the first and only hour of use.

Dude, my s3 wifi adapter is very good. you should analyze your wifi AP and see who is sharing your channel frequency . Most people use same channel 6 by default. Channel 1 is the least used IMO and it's clean. If 1 and 6 are often used then use 11.

My main APs are on ch1 and ch11. Other networks are far away (no interference, and signal is pretty clear.)
To clarify: when I do the 0011 trick, my wifi is pretty stable, but disconnects from time to time making it too risky for me to get on a VOIP call for fear of disconnection. Speed is great though. And every once in a while, it will simply not switch correctly between my two networks (one in house, one in garage), it gets stuck on 'getting ip'. I then disable wifi and reenable, which fixes it. (thank god for WiFi Manager Premium's widget)
It is not unlivable, mind you, but it is pretty crazy annoying. Especially when ALL other wifi devices I have never have any issues.
Will try a full stock reset when JB comes out officially, that always seems to help in the many wifi threads I've read in the forums thus far.
this fixed my wifi problems when I was getting very slow speeds in the last few JB leaks

I will certainly give LH2 a try then. I had (wrongly) read that the post-LG8 updates didn't seem to change a whole lot.
I recently had all kinds of strange problems with my phone. Charging slowly.. wifi was terrible. The rom i was running made no difference.
In the end i was going to send it back as i thought i had faulty hardware. The day i was to get it sent off.. i thought what the heck.. ill try a .pit file to force a full repartition. And its only gone n worked!
Phone is back to running how it should.
I would be VERY careful flashing .pit files tho... is always a last resort.

Hi,
I had exactly the same problems with wifi like the OP! My S3 was always either not connecting nor finding networks. Sometimes it worked and then the phone was loosing wifi all few seconds... reconnecting. Using skype was not possible!
Above that, pressing power-off to send S3 to sleep was not responding everytime... sometimes the screen stayed on but touchscreen was not responsive. Then power-on again it was not responsive, too.
So a lot of problems with a device at this high price...
After nearly 2 weeks I've sent it back and got a new one. Now everything works perfectly!
Both devices were updated to newest update LG8.
If it is a software problem, there is maybe something going wrong while updating, otherwise I would say it's an hardware issue.
Good luck!
I don't know the topology of your home network or equipment. But routing with Nat, and two different network using the same private ip address range could cause issues. Again I have no idea what's up with your network. Are you running a essid or two different networks?

I don't know the topology of your home network or equipment. But routing with Nat, and two different network using the same private ip address range could cause issues. Again I have no idea what's up with your network. Are you running a essid or two different networks?

Doubt it, simple enough setup. One main, one wired AP (both on same SSID) and a repeater bridge for garage, diff SSID. No problems with the laptops, apple devices, etc.
Will test out every kind of wipe/flash... I fear exchanging it will be hard seeing as this is an unlocked international version bought in Canada online.

Hi,
I had exactly the same problems with wifi like the OP! My S3 was always either not connecting nor finding networks. Sometimes it worked and then the phone was loosing wifi all few seconds... reconnecting. Using skype was not possible!
Above that, pressing power-off to send S3 to sleep was not responding everytime... sometimes the screen stayed on but touchscreen was not responsive. Then power-on again it was not responsive, too.
So a lot of problems with a device at this high price...
After nearly 2 weeks I've sent it back and got a new one. Now everything works perfectly!
Both devices were updated to newest update LG8.
If it is a software problem, there is maybe something going wrong while updating, otherwise I would say it's an hardware issue.
Good luck!

I have more signal than in my sgs1.
Currently using LG8 plus siyah 1.5.2.
I would exchange it.
