My wifi keeps on disconnecting and reconnecting every 15 seconds or so; very annoying when I'm streaming a video or downloading something.
I'm running stock sense 5, rooted; this problem doesn't occur when I switch to data.
Help please?
Signal strength?
It would be great if you have another device which uses wifi. For example, in my school, I can have full wifi signal strength and suddenly it disconnects... Then it reconnects and says "incorrect password"... After a few seconds it reconnects and again full signal. But this happens to anyone else, so it's not my HOX+ fault.
You may also want to uncheck any "save battery while wifi" options. There are 2 of them AFAIK.

My wifi connection often wrong, always in after a period of using, have no access to the Internet. Every time the wifi turned off to open another can get to the Internet, can wifi signal is always full. I searched a lot of method to did not solve, including XDA * # # 0011 turn off on wifi power save mode, when problem solving, but after a while just the same. And with only G mode and so on route, are not solutions. Change a lot of Rom, the kernel baseband all not line.Who's a way to solve?
I am not sure if this is the case but - have you tried different router? My S3 for example has issues when I go to my friend's house (he has some old/er Belkin router). However, when I am home wifi is blazing fast and no issues what so ever (cisco e3000).
my phone has a slight different problem, the phone detects strong signal for all my wifi, but will only save it, and not connect right away, some will not even connect, and sometime the speed is very slow.

I am sure there is no porblem with the router,SGS2 and IP4s with the same router is fine.
I'm getting WIFI problems when waking from deep sleep. My settings are set to keep WIFI on when sleeping only when plugged in, as i find this extends my battery life a little more.
Sometimes it reconnects when waking up, and other times it doesn't and i have to turn WIFI off and then on again to force it to scan and reconnect. If i don't do this and check WIFI, it says it's scanning, but never finds or connects to a network.
Anyone else get this?! I read somewhere about sleep of death on GS2?
There is a known problem with the wifi, I have just changed my phone and so far evrything is working.
been through 9-10 phone with different problems.
Ok, i've tried turning off WIFI power save in the system settings *#0011#
I'll report back with my findings in terms of waking from sleep and possible additional battery drain...
Turning off powersave didn't help on my speeds tho. My SGS2 can pull around 5-600KBs a second, while my SGS3 only pulls roughly half despite being at the roughly same location (ie laying next to each other)
Hi,
You probably already noticed that by your self..
When you're downloading something over 3G, and you turn the WIFI on during the process, there is no problem because it authenticates and connects the WIFI network and meanwhile keeps the 3G still alive.. it only shuts it off when the WIFI is completely connected and therefore the download is not hanging off..
Unfortunately it was not programmed backward.
When you are on WIFI and turning off the WIFI to move to 3G, or perhaps when you were at home and now walking away the range and so it automatically disconnects it, so it leaves the WIFI first and few seconds later it trigger the 3G and connect it..
During those few seconds you lose the connection and if you were on downloading process it hangs off..
So I was thinking, why not force the 3G on, connects, and only then, hang off the WIFI..
Any app that can do that? or any developer that might wanna pick up the glove?
I'm sure it will help few others but me..
Thanks ahead!
I was reluctant to do the update to 4.3 but decided to go ahead and give it a whirl. Things went smoothly, and all worked out as planned.
However, I'm now experiencing a constant drop in my wi-fi connectivity.
My employer provides an open wi-fi. The signal strength is a little weak in my office. Before 4.3, I was able to auto connect to the wi-fi and stay connected all day with no issues. Post update, I am constantly having to tell the phone to connect. Even though auto connect is checked. It seems like if the signal strength dips at all.....the phone drops the signal. Then instead of reconnecting, its sits unconnected until I open the wi-fi setting and force it to connect.
Do you guys know of some setting I'm missing or something that keeps this darn thing connected ??
I seem to be getting the same sort of wifi issues as previously stated elsewhere in this forum. I cannot hold a wifi connection on the 2.4ghz band fro more than 20s before its dissociated (ie i still have full connection to the router (3 bars) but cannot get through to the internet). This happens no matter what router i am connected to, whether its at home or at work.
I have tried:
[*]Setting the Wifi optimization checkbox off. No difference
[*]Avoid poor connections is off. No difference.
[*]Stamina mode is off. No difference.
[*]Keep Wifi on during sleep is set to Always. No difference.
[*]Sleep timeout to 30mins. No difference.
[*]I have factory reset the phone. No difference.
[*]Repaired the phone firmware with PC Companion. No difference.
I have also check to see if it is my router at home. I have switched between every channel available which made no difference. Security is Wpa/Wpa2 PSK AES which makes no difference. I only have the 2.4ghz available on that router at home (same at work).
My Note 3 and HTC One connect to both routers with no problems at all and do not drop out. Same goes with Sony Vaio Laptop.
I have installed Wifi Fixer on my Z2 to see if it can alleviate the problem and it does somewhat. instead of manually having to turn on and off the wifi toggle to reestablish a connection, the Wifi Fixer does it for me.Approx. every 20-30s in its log it will show the phone "dissociating" from the router, and the the app tries to "reassociate" the connection.
I can connect through wifi transfer to my Note 3 without issue, and the same goes for my TV, so it cant be a hardware fault, as the connection is still excellent strength for both (as well as the router, tested with Wifi Analyzer). This is a very frustrating problem as it makes watching youtube movies impossible, and hotspotting, skype calls, etc.....
And dont even get me started on the bluetooth dropouts. I am disconnected from a bluetooth connection every 66-70s without fail no matter what i try. No issues with my Note 3 and HTC One in the exact same conditions. It will disconnect then reconnect straight away with a delay of about 3 seconds, which makes calls and listening to music a VERY unpleasant experience.
Any ideas on how to fix this? I love everything else on this phone but this wifi/bluetooth connection issue is making it unusable. :crying:
I am on the .55 baseband version if that helps anyone
Hi guys,
I just got the phone two days ago and encountered the following issues that are surrounding wifi:
- wifi connection drops. I saw in the settings of the wifi when waking the phone that the IP field goes to none or an exclamation mark near the wifi icon or directly drops the connection. The drop happens for about 1 minute, comes back for 1 minute and drops again. Repeat. This does not happen on 4g. Wifi is set for always on, whatsapp and fb messenger that I use for the tests are exempt from battery saving. Note that this does not happen when using the phone on other wireless connections or a hotspot.
Happens both on 5ghz and 2.4ghz
Now, the troubleshooting that I've done was to factory reset the phone, test different Wifi networks and look through the settings to make sure that nothing will hinder my wifi capabilities.
On the router I tried with all the combinations of channels and channel width.
The router is an Archer C9 version 3.0/4.0 with the lastest firmware.
Please assist as it's driving me nuts!

Can you try to restore the router to factory settings to see if it will appear again?
