Got a 32GB version.
All my other devices, windows laptops, android tablet connect up to my wifi fine. I am using WPA with AES (static IP). The HP Touchpad connects, but there is huge packet loss and it barely can keep a connection. It doesn't drop out per se, just cant get any data. Tried changing router settings, being 30cm from it etc. Still same problem. Any apps/tweaks i can try on the Touchpad?
Maybe it has something to do with Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n with WPA, WPA2, WEP, 802.1X authentication;
maybe your router doesnt support it.
Just curious, are you running any of the Preware patches?
I am having a similar problem with my 16gb wifi model. Wifi works for a short while, then drops the signal. If I go in and turn off wifi on the device and turn it back on again - then it will work fine for another few minutes until it eventually drops the connection again.
I had this problem before I loaded any preware tweaks - and after as well. I am running the Govnah app to overclock to 1.5ghz and a few other logging tweaks.
I did some digging and it seems the most likely issue is a problem with the firmware of my router (D-link DIR-655), specifically the wireless n protocol. I am going to try updating my router firmware and see if that helps out.
By the way - no issues with my two laptops, dell streak 7, or my wii - so its definately isolated to be an issue specific to my touchpad/router combination...
I too am having problem. I don't drop the wireless connection, just a internet connection. All of a sudden nothing on my touchpad can connect to the internet, until I turn the wireless off and then back on again. Very weird. Everything else working off of my Dlink DGL-4500 works fine, except the touchpad.
I notice a few of you have Drinks, maybe thats the cause?
I'm running on FIOS and using Verizon's provided router. Works flawlessly. I've had one issue w/ WiFi, but a reboot solved that and has never come back.
I had problems with my dlink 615. TP would lose connection after 20 minutes or so. My wife's would do the same. My evo 4g had the same problem. I changed the router to the G only setting. I haven't had any problems with either TP since that change. The 615 uses draft N and was one of the early routers with this. I think it causes problems with some devices. I haven't really lost any speed either as the 615 will only connect at the speed of the "slowest" wireless card on the network, and I have some devices at g speed that are always on. I do plan to get a new router at some point.

See my Touchpad is the ONLY device having problems, that's the part I don't get. All of my devices are wireless N as well.
TouchPad WiFi issues
Okay, I've tried every custom kernel available with almost the same results. I'm beginning to think my unit is defective, but I am hoping it is the custom kernels and not my unit. I haven't tried restoring the stock kernel but I suppose I should have before writing this. Anyway..onto the issue!
Does anyone have this problem where WiFi will randomly stop transmitting data? It happens most when I am browsing the web with the stock browser and almost all the time it is after the unit awakes from sleep. Sometimes it happens while browsing but the majority of the time it happens when coming out of sleep. WiFi is still on and connected to my network, but network activity is not there. The only way to fix it is by doing one of the following:
-Turn off and on WiFi
-Launch the HP software catalog.
The second method one seems to give the network a jump start and WiFi will begin working again and data will transmit.
Freeza I think that's a common slug, I read some other posts about it. Heck mine was doing it a lot, but not so much lately. I don't think you have defective device.

I have this issue too, on two Touchpads on the same wifi network (mine and my wife's). The issue vanishes on my portable wifi 4G hotspot and my much better office wifi network, so it's probably my router. I've ordered a MUCH better router, and if that kills the problem, I'll know for sure within a week.
I hear this is a common, but situation-specific issue.
phew.... Was getting worried for a bit there. Thanks guys. Hopefully the next webOS update can fix it

I also have this problem. The wireless on the TP will stop working, even though it says it is connected. Disabling and re-enabling the wireless fixes it temporarily.
I also have an 802.11N wireless router. It is a Trendnet TEW-633GR. No other wireless device has ever had an issue with it, so I think the touchpad doesn't handle something properly...
Just wanted to know as I can use 5GHz on my Xoom and they are made by the same company. Do any phones allow for Dual Band (Wireless N 2.4 & 5 GHz)? Just wondering. Would love to use me Netgear 4000 (N750) on my Photon in 5GHz mode Thanks
No. The photon does not have the radio for it. 2.4 ghz only.
Very few mobile devices have 5ghz n support. I know a few tablets that support it, but know of no smartphones that support it.
I have been trying this also for a long time. I believe there is a hardware difference too, I have an hp envy with the dual band and a hp dv6t that will not see the 5ghz network, I switched the wifi cards arrond to see if I was able to get the dv6t on the 5ghz and I got a "hardware not supported" (speficicating it was the wifi card) and the computer will not even start. So I do not think is just about antenas...
Hi there. I inherited a Droid Razr Maxx from a friend, and I've been using it as my main phone even though it's hideously slow, because it gets LTE in my office, where my Galaxy Nexus barely gets 3G (It's constantly dropping service altogether). Right now I'm running a CM12 4.4 port, but the bluetooth tethering is extremely flaky. It barely ever works, and when it does, it's usually only for a few minutes.
I want to plug the Razr in and enable bluetooth tethering and pair it with my Galaxy Nexus or my Nexus 7. Which ROM has the best, most stable, bluetooth tethering? I don't care what version of Android it is, because tethering is all the phone will be used for.
Hey guys,
I recently bought a Refurbished unlocked SM-G900T to use with my AT&T service. I chose the T-Mobile variant because of the faster android updates and unlocked bootloader. So far, It's been working great, no problems at all with voice, data, etc. The first thing I did when I got it was install the rooted stock OF6 rom Muniz_ri posted, then ran the "extreme debloat" script. Well, I tried to use tethering and it's acting really funny. I can enable tethering fine, and it works for about 1 minute, then it stops working. The connected devices drop to 1mbps connection strength (from the usual 130+mbps wireless N speeds) and have zero network connectivity. I tried the Tethering mod also posted on the rooted OF6 page, but it still does the same thing. PDANet+ also does the same thing. Anybody know what's going on? Wi-Fi works fine on the phone as a client.
Ok, so this only seems to happen when I connect a laptop which has an intel Wi-Fi chip in it. When I connect my iPad to it, it works perfectly.
Alright, the fix was to go into the device manager on the laptop and set the wireless card to Wireless G-only. The issue seems to be resolved by doing this.
Hello everyone.
As a proud owner of Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro, I have a problem that lasts for month now.
I actually have a Mi Band that is always connected via bluetooth on my phone, and i need bluetooth to be always on. The problem is that when i am on the 2.4 ghz band on my wifi, sometimes the internet speed drops to 1 mbp or less, as well as an high ping and totally unstable connexion.
The fact is the problem is totally random and not related to a specific use of the bluetooth (except for controllers apparently ). In fact, where i use a bluetooth speaker as well, i do not have any problem. The problem is not specific to my phone, as i had the same problem with my previous phone ( a OnePlus X ) and with my Onda Tablet as well ( Wifi is unusable when i connect for example a bluetooth controller ).
The problem totally disappears when i use the 5 ghz band or when i desactivate the bluetooth (but for a reason, the 2.4 ghz band seems more "sensible" of interferences ). For notice, my rooter is a dual band (2,4 Ghz and 5 ghz).
I have tried to change the wifi channel on my router, it's the same problem as well. The problem lasts for months now and really consumed my patience, as he appears totally randomly and with no reason at all ( except for controllers ). I have searched for answers but cannot find any satisfactory response, only some clues related more or less with my problem. I can live somewell with the problem but actually i need solutions or at least clues of the origin of the problem
Phone : Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro (Special "Global" Edition)
Rooter : Orange Livebox Play (France ISP)
Thank you in advance for your help
Edit : I Know that Bluetooth use the same frequency as the wifi, but normally the bluetooth has been made to "prevent" such interferences. The fact is that in my case these interferences occur without any clue of their origin
+1 ... have you found a fix?
I also have the problems with wifi and bluetooth, but on the bluetooth mouse instead of mi band. As soon as I start downloading something, mouse cursor starts to lag. As I have researched the problem, the only real solution was to change wifi to 5ghz like you mentioned. Unfortunately, my router doesn't have 5ghz band, so the workaround I found was to change the Channel selection on the router from Auto to some other channel. The problem didn't disappear, but it's not lagging as much anymore.
Also, why don't leave router on 5ghz?
