I've noticed the watch doesn't seem to maintain wifi connectivity nor does cloud sync appear to work. As soon as I'm out of bluetooth range, the watch shows disconnected. I've re-entered the wifi password numerous times but it refuses to remain connected to it. Has anyone else experienced this? Any thoughts on how to resolve?
Have you checked your wifi timeout? I think the max is 180 minutes. Mine was disconnecting and then disabling it after timeout. I changed it to 180 and it's better, not perfect because it times out while i'm at work. Definitely improved when around my house.

When i downloading torrents using my android phone over the WiFi, its connection lost several times. My phone WiFi policy is "Keep WI-Fi on during sleep" as "Always". I use "Ttorrent" app client. Most of the time Ttorrent display "No suitable network" error. If i turn on the screen, problem not fix.
I have android 4.0.3 ROM and i connected my phone into my ADSL router, not a public.
Are there any solution for me?
Thanks!
Did you rule out the signal strength and wifi network quality? It might just be that the connection is flaky. One way to test is just sitting close to the access point or.. to change it to a different channel (when you suspect interference from neighbor routers is the issue)

Thanks friend your reply!
If I move my phone close to the router, its not fix. Also its possible affect, my neighbors Wi-Fi connections (because of the distance of neighbor houses, to my place). Is it a effect of my router settings?

Is there an option in your client to lower the maximum number of connections? That's a recommendation from the developers of adownloader, which is what I use
I am having the same problem.
I've tried so many things, on the phone and router.
Nothing has solved it.
I've adjusted a lot of settings on the router which have made no difference, I've used different types of security, wep, wpa, wpa2, no security at all. Static ip, changed dhcp lease times etc
On the phone I've tried setting a static ip, flashing different kernels, using different torrent clients, lowering number of global connections to 1 etc
I've also tried a few apps from the play store, wifi fix, wifi static etc
The wifi will just randomly disconnect when I download any torrent, there is no pattern to it but I can't download any torrent without disconnecting.
I would love to know a fix.
I'm using a galaxy s3
One thing I want to try is a different router to rule out whether the problem is the router side or the phone side.
At the minute I have no idea what is causing the issue.
I don't get disconnected when browsing the web etc on my phone.
If I use my pc or laptop to download torrents I don't get disconneted.
Ok I've finally worked out why I was getting drop outs.
For some reason when I use wpa2 with aes ecryption I get disconnected when downloading torrents.
When I use wpa and tkip I get no disconnects at all.
It's not a good solution as I get slower speeds using wpa and tkip but at least I don't get disconnected.
I wonder if this will be fixed?
This is an ICS bug. No matter what you have your wi-fi sleep policy set to, when the screen goes off the performance drops drastically. Download the Wi-Fi High Performance Widget from the market. When tap to enable the widget, your wi-fi will run at 100% performance no matter your screen state.
This isn't a sleep issue though. I have wifi set to always on keep wifi on during sleep.
Even the op said he tried leaving the screen on.
I set screen timeout to 10 minutes so I can monitor the application and also set screen on within adownloader and I get disconnected.
The only fix for me is using wpa and tkip encryption.
As soon as I use wpa2 and aes encryption I get disconnections when downloading.

Well, probably a hardware issue. I have no issues using the same wifi configuration and downloading torrents. And like I said..it really doesn't matter if you have keep wi-fi on during sleep checked. That doesn't matter at all. The performance will degrade so much when the phone is asleep that you might as well have it turned off. No, your wi-fi won't sleep, but it won't be running anywhere near its top performance, which is what the widget is for.
Wow. I have been trying to solve the same problem for last 2 weeks. upgraded windows drivers, router firmware, tweaked utorrent settings and whatnot. finally after reading your answer i changed my wifi authentication from wpa2+aes to wpa+TKIP and WOW. it worked. my wifi is not dropping anymore. I dont why WPA2+AES should cause this problem. BUt this tweak in authentication has finally worked for me.
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
Hey everyone, I got myself a Z2 recently and have been very happy about it for the most part. However, some things seem to not function a 100% the way it's supposed to.
Some times after it's been to sleep and I try browsing online with it using either 3g/4g or wifi the phone says it has a connection, but nothing loads. All I have to do to solve this is to refresh the wifi/3g connection manually, and then it works. It's rather annoying to always go through that procedure every time I want to use my phone, so I'm wondering is there anything I can do about this? Or anyone experienced anything similar?

I have the same issue with WiFi while the phone sleeps or is active (no probs with mobile data though!), but I was not able to determine whether it's my router, the phone, or a combination of the two (though I have a hunch).
When I'm in my room which is unfortunately the farthest from the router, and the connection drops, my Z2 is not able to reconnect on its own. Have to disable/enable WiFi or else it's stuck in an infinite loop of connecting and obtaining an IP.
Now, I'm fine with a dropping connection occasionally given the distance and the... quality of my router. However, my laptop is able to reconnect automatically.
I have tried lots of possible solutions: WiFi sleep policy, static IP or DHCP, disabling/enabling WiFi optimisation or Auto-IP, switching WiFi channels, and various WiFi fixer apps. Nothing worked.
My guess? There is a bug in the stock firmware that makes the phone unable to reconnect if a connection is forcibly dropped . Pair this with a crappy router and you have a recipe for inconvenience.
Unfortunately, I have no spare router to confirm this, and with the bugs in CyanogenMod I am reluctant to flash for now.
Also, I am sure this is not a hardware fault of the phone in my case since I notice this behaviour at home in my network only.
Do you guys possibly know where I could find some logs related WiFi? I wanna get to the bottom of this.
Anyone else having problems reconnecting to a WiFi connection, or even seeing WiFi SSIDs after disconnecting from WiFi?
This happens to me intermittently. I have 5 WiFi SSIDs in my house. 2.4G and 5G from the FIOS router, and the same from a WiFi access point on another floor at the other end of the house, and a Guest network from the AP. I can normally see all of them from any point in the house, as well as half a dozen from nearby neighbors. And my s9+ normally connects, automatically, to my primary 5G connection without any problem.
But occasionally, after being out and coming back home, or after the phone has been asleep for a while, it won' see any SSIDs. Not mine, or the neighbors. I've tried scanning for WiFi networks, turning WiFi off, waiting a few, and turning it back on, but it doesn't see anything, and won't connect. I've even tried manually inputting the name of one of my access points, but the phone won't find it.
Turn on WiFi automatically is on, WiFi power saving mode is off (although I've had the same issue with it turned on), Keep WiFi on during sleep was set to While charging. I've changed it to always, but it will be a while to see if that helps.
The only way I've found to get it to see WiFi networks again is to reboot the phone.
Oh, and other devices, including other Android phones, see all the SSIDs without issue.
Any thoughts or ideas?
I have te same issue here, I can't find a fix.
Mine will not connect to mobile date after I turn my wifi off. I have to reboot the phone in order to be able to make a call or use data. It all seemed to happen when a pop up came on to enable wifi calling. I can't figure out how to turn that off.
I don't have acupp1's issue with mobile data, but I seem to have resolved the WiFi connection issue by not letting the phone turn WiFi off during sleep. Haven't had the problem since I changed that setting.
I got the same problem since I rooted
Been trying to figure out if its a VENDOR Firmware problem or what. I do know that every developer says its a bug with the s9 when rooting. I've personally watch the live log on TWRP when flashing and seen where it mounts the VENDOR Firmware and then unmounted at the end. So it could possibly be a problem between TWRP and the s9 ROMs idk know exactly yet but I'm looking for a solution also. But I'm going to try what you did with your WiFi then report back here.
Hi folks,
Weird thing happening to me while I'm out of the country on vacation. Being out of the country is probably irrelevant though.
I'm in a hotel that has crappy slow "captive portal" wifi. So, you connect to the SSID without password, and it redirects you to a login page (name/room number), then it provisions the device.
The wifi frequently hangs or disconnects here, and is super slow even when it is working, so I decided to bail and just use my phone's mobile data. So I went into Internet and turned off the wifi. Slid that switch to OFF.
Looked down an hour later when I had trouble connecting to a site and found the wifi was back on and connected to the hotel site. I turned it off again, but shortly the same thing happened again.
Eventually I turned off the other part, where it can scan in the background for improved location etc, and THAT seems to have stopped the problem, but why does the wifi keep turning on and connecting when I've explicitly switched it off?
Bug? Feature?
Bit of a guess... you are on data roaming? If roaming, I bet the phone is looking for "better options" if discovery is on, and it will re-connect if it finds a wifi that it can use. I'll go with buggy-feature.
