Hi,
I just set up a VPN connection with my Galaxy Nexus to my Router at home. It works but I realized that the connection drops at some point. This is quite annoying because I want to use it as a security measure when staying at hotels and using their open WiFi. But when the VPN drops at some point and the WiFi stays connected this does not really make sense because my phone will keep sending data.
Is there anything I can do? Why disconnects the VPN at some point?
Can I at least tell the WiFi to cancel when the VPN drops?
Thank you!
WiFi tether worked fine at first but lately everytime I try to download something the download freezes about 5% in and never starts up again. No matter what file I download it freezes at a certain point and it will always freeze at the same point for that particular file. For instance FILE A might freeze every single time at 5% and FILE B will freeze every time at 10%. I can't download any large files (100MB or so). This only happens on WiFi tether for Root. The phone itself can download anything just fine and always gets good speed on speed test. The download speeds on WiFi tether start out really good and drop down to something awful usually. Even when WiFi tether doesn't slow down it freezes the downloads anyway. Is Sprint doing this? Seems weird that any file will freeze in the exact same spot.
Does your plan allow WiFi tethering? I had a similar issue before and was told it was because my plan didn't allow tethering.

Having problems with Wifi streaming and YouTube very slow, stop and start every few seconds, got to be the phone as all my other devices stream fine. I have unchecked avoid poor connections in wifi advanced.
Any one else having this problem, will try factory reset.

I've seen factory resets cure a few problems on here so try that 1st but isn't there a .69 firmware available now as well, maybe try that to?

Good old factory reset and it's working fine.....hasn't. Worked
EDIT.......wifi speeds are slow again, can't watch YouTube or stream films, it's only on this device, ipad 2, galaxy s3 and s2 all stream with no problems.
Can't download the 6 free promo films either as download fails after a short while.

My facebook app is not working great in my phone. Youtube has been fine so far but I find my internet quite slow at home as I have rubbish internet speed. Also in peak times I get very slow internet connection.
Wifi speed still slow, only on this device,
Also is the . 69 firmware carrier specific?
No firmware update prompt on my phone.
no option for 5GHz in wifi advanced menu

A couple of things to try:
* test with other access points
* restarting the router
* disconnecting other devices
* forgetting the network on the z2 and readding it
I actually got great wifi speeds with my z2. It was even able to max out a 100 Mbps cable broadband connection on an AC router. Worked fine in n-mode also.

Have you tested on any other networks?
Take a trip to Starbucks! See if you get any better speeds there (and a nice latte, damn I'd kill for one right now).
glas to see im not the only one. Google Play Store @ 0.02mb/s
What kind of router do you have and how far is it? I'm able to maintain 2-3MB/s (16-24Mbit/s) over a distance of 20 feet with walls and everything in between.
After getting my phone last Tuesday ive noticed this little bug as well, sometimes downloading/updating google play apps it'll be like 0.5MB/sec but usually when I use drop down menu and quick settings and turn off wifi(give it about 10/20secs) then reactivate it im back to around 8-14Mb/sec, some apps dont even show a download progress its that fast lol.
I believe it might be a 5Ghz wifi problem as my BT hub shows my phone connecting to 5GHz channel with no way to stop it apart from turning 5Ghz off at the router :/
So hopefully sony will either fix bug or give us more wifi options like already mentioned so we can make phone connect to what we want.
K stand corrected phone can/does switch between 2.4Ghz/5Ghz, router shows phone connected at 2.4Ghz now. Just updated an app while connected on 2.4Ghz and no problem.
Z2 D6503 Wifi dropping issues
I seem to be getting the same sort of wifi issues as previously stated. 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.
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.
connecting to my bt home hub 4 via 5GHz band only has solved my wifi drop out problems.

For me slow Wifi resulted in many issues, You-tube video cannot be played, video streaming from a network storage cannot be done, Facebook videos will stop at the middle etc where the most evident issues. I tried everything possible to resolve this issues and searching the internet also didn't help. Finally decided to fresh install, used PC companion and re-installed the complete software, then restored all apps using google backup service. After this there is no issue till now. The software version is the same I had before reinstall. But now the Video streaming and apps using internet become very responsive.
thanks

After updating to LRX21Q and LRX21R I get random disconnects on 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz. It sees the network and is connected but sometimes it drops it or I get the exclamation point on it without an internet connection. If I toggle wifi on and off or just switch between the two bands it goes back to normal. So far, I've only seen it while surfing in Chrome or streaming videos over my LAN. I didn't have any of these problems before on the previous firmwares.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Same problem

Same here. Seriously irritating. :-\
I don't actually get the exclamation mark, but I do think I have the same problem. Sometimes refreshing Facebook or trying to display a web page or a Wikipedia page will take forever, for no clear reason. On another android device and the PC on the same internet connection there's no speed problem at all, and after a reboot it's solved on the Nexus 9 as well. It is indeed seriously annoying.
Got the same problem.
It used to happen sometimes on L but happens a lot more now that I have R.
I have to go to Settings/WIFI and select router again, also does not find router on initial boot up.
Hi
I'm experiencing some difficulties with mobile hotspot.
I connect to P30 Pro's wifi hotspot with my laptop and try to download something. the process of downloading is laggy. downloading stops every few seconds and then continues on.
it happens in playing online games too. I get disconnected every few seconds.
Is anyone having this issue with their device?

This could be your carrier rather than the phone.
Carriers can restrict or disable the use of the hotspot. Just check that your contract allows for personal hotspot connections.
Other than that, make sure your phone is connecting using 4G (for the mobile network) and not 3G. If it connects using 3G you need to find another location.
Go to settings\wireless & networks\personal hotspot\more\AP band
Change it to 2.5 Ghz or 5Ghz
This should do it.
Fine here, I use it regularly.
