Hi All,
I just received a replacement for my V10 that suddenly died and I'm now having Wi-Fi connection issues.
When I brought it home yesterday the phone was still on 5.1.1 but updated overnight to 6.0 both experienced the same issue.
I have not rooted my device yet but will in the near future.
I have 3 different access points in my home with different id for each.
I can connect to one of them but not the other two.
When I try to connect it I eventually get a WI-FI connection error, or the connection is labeled disabled, or the connection doesn't connect and just shows saved.
I have tried:
1) reset the router
2) changed the password
3) changed to an open connection e.g. no password
4) forgotten then connection on the phone
5) restarted phone
none of these have fixed my issue.
Anyone have similar issues?
Anyone have any ideas for a fix?
Thanks you all for reading my problem.

Just started having a similar issue yesterday. Stock MM, no root. Factory reset had no effect.
Maybe you can join my thread, I have problem with wifi also. You can check if we have same issue and may try my workaround http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/help/wifi-mac-address-changes-reboot-h90120j-t3470140
I actually just noticed this on my phone yesterday. It seems to happen to me when the wifi signal is a bit weaker (but should still be able to connect). My wife's V10 didn't have an issue though. Haven't find a solution yet, but my wifi would also not find any connections after it would disconnect and have to rescan to locate any networks.

Hi, is anyone has the same problem? When I'm connected at home to my Tenda router (WIFI b/g/n) after cca 30 min. my phone WIFI stops sending and recieving data, Skype is offline, etc... but WIFI in phone is stil switched on. After I switch WIFI off and back on (on my Samsung, not on my router), everything works good for a while and after cca 30 min. is situation the same. Is there in Samsung any WIFI sleep mode or something like that? Or some settings, which is not visible? Any other suggestions? Sorry for my poor English. Thanx in advance.
I'm having the same problem. But I did a factory reset and it works fine afterward.
And just few hours ago, I encountered this problem again. What did to get this error was, I pressed "on samsungapps" and it failed to update and thus results wifi connection stopping. What about you? Also my Kies air is not working.
are you guys sure you have wifi sleep policy set correctly? just to be sure, settings, wireless, wifi, menu button, advanced, wifi sleep policy to NEVER.
Yes. And also even if i manually disconnect and reconnect the wifi back. The data still doesn't come in. It is stated there as connected but no data at all.
Somehow Wifi keeps searching every few seconds, even thought it's connected.
This is bound to cost in battery life too.
I have reseted router to default settings, disabled n mode, disabled security (only mac filtering is on), disabled all unnecessary features and PROBLEM IS SOLVED !!! Thanx God Tomorrow I will experiment with router settings to know, what was causing this error ;-)
Well at least u're connected, I'm facing the same problem as the thread starter. No data flow at all. Browser showing me offline msg. I had the same problem on the 1st day with the phone after I woke up. previously playing with most of the default aps. So i'm not sure what went wrong, did a factory reset and it works fine.
Until, few hours ago, I tried my kies air which didn't work. Browser couldnt load the address given. And I thought i had an outdated kies air, so i went to click on samsungapps, which failed to update me. At that point the wifi is still working, i leave my phone for about 30 mins, and when i came back. The same problem which happened on the 1st day came back. I was hoping to find an answer here so I didnt do the factory reset it. On another note, the phone wifi works after restart, but wouldn't last.
Edit: The wifi works after i resetted my modem to default. oh well. at least that solved it.

Hi,
Did you find out what setting was causing the connection issue? I also have this problem with my Tenda router. I thought it might be the wireless N, but disabling that doesn't fix it. I have a wireless distribution system set up with other tenda routers so didn't want to disable all the settings to troubleshoot if i can help it!
Thanks

I have the same problem, my router is N and the conection between SGS2 and my router is bad. Any idea?
Same problem here, I'm running WZR-AGL300NH in access point connected to my Ubuntu Server. Everything else works in the house just fine but SG2 stops transmitting data after a while.
I recently upgraded to KF1 firmware (and unknowingly wiped out whole phone, being on the bleeding edge and that didn't seem to help.
I would very much appreciate all tips because this problem is very annoying!
Additional Info:
- Buffalo is running latest firmware
- Authentication WPA2-PSK
- Encryption AES

Same symptoms here. Cisco DDR2200. WPA2 PSK. Haven't tried fiddling with the router yet.
This seems to be a common problem. Anyone knows of a definitive fix?
Bump...I have the same problem and the issue persists even after i reset the phone
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Glad I found this, thought it was the ROM I had flashed to the phone (which is VillainROM)
I keep losing connection from my phone via wifi like everyone else in this thread
edit: I've just assigned my phone an IP address via my routers settings and I can connect to the net again
Also when it wasn't working, I couldn't ping the phone. When I assigned the IP just now I still couldn't ping it.
When I did a tracert to it, I could get to it when the IP was assigned and when it wasn't.
I have no removed the assigned IP for the phone from the router. Wifi connection is still working after disconnecting/reconnecting wifi on the phone.
I can also now ping the phone, where as before it was getting timeouts.
Also when it wasn't working the first time when I did a tracert it was showing up as HPsomething (didn't make note of the numbers)
this time when it is working it's just showing up as the IP address when doing a tracert.
Another update:
Just checked my printer, it has an IP address manually set on it, which at one stage when the phone wasn't working for internet it had the same IP as the printer, hence when tracert'ing it I was going to the printer instead of the phone and getting the HP etc back.
When it wasn't working at that time and looking at my routers DHCP list, it had the MAC Address of the phone against the IP that the printer has....
So I've got some issues with how my own network is setup ^_^ which looks like is causing me grief.
So the issue is with DHCP? Setting a static IP fixes it? I'll have to try, but I doubt this is a problem with the network, as all my other devices use DHCP without this problem.
I have the exact same problem!!
It's really annoying.
i was having problems with wifi too.. it keeps scanning and checking, etc, signal dropping for no reason..
fixed mine..well for me it worked
backup ur phone ( i dont take responsibility if ur phone catches fire or dies or chases u around )
u need to be rooted
download FXR WiFi fix and rescue from market
and just run the app.
now my wifi signal stays constant speed and i get good speeds
alternatively try
WiFi Fixer
both of them will cause high battery usage..i think since it keeps the signal at maximum.. so only enable wireless when i need it or use juice defender or green power.
greenpower seems great. using this at the moment
Hi i went from stock ics on my ray to cm9 by followingnexact step by step guide provided by cm9. Used their kernel as well. Have never modded my phone before. Having a small problem with wifi though. After my phone has been asleep for a while, if i wake it up the wifi icon in status bar is no longer blue its a dark grey and i can no longer browse anything or use the internet. Ive tried rebooting. I did the whole wipe cache etc when installing cm9. In wifi settings in advanced ive also left the setting to "leave wifi on when sleep" checked. If i turn off and on the wifi connection the phone ofcourse is able to reconnect again the icon is blue and i can connect. It not jsut a one off thing its been happening since i isntalled the rom.
If i wakek from sleep a few minutes later i have no issue with wifi. Its only when its been sleep for a while do i have this issue.
Any solutions?
I have the exact same problem but for me it's even bigger, whenever i turn on wifi on my modem, i can connect to internet on my phone, but after awhile i lose my connection completely, on my phone and on my pc also, the only way to get it back is to reset my router and wait for like 5-10minutes...

If its also an issue with your. Pc then your issue might be also the router.
My other devices actually work fine in my case its oky this phone that has issues. Macbook iphone ipad nexus s no problems with those.
Same issue here. I can see available networks but unable to connect. There should be no problem with the wifi router as all my other devices work well and I have tried another router. Now I have to flash back to stock firmware.

Your issue seems more severe than mine. Mine actually connects and works, just that when it wakes from long sleep it wont work until i turn off and on wifi.
I get this problem too, but my problem even worse than yours. My wifi lose it's connection after a while, but the icon on status bar shows it's connected, running ping test, browse, even play store can't be accessed. I pinged the router and got unreachable.
And yeah, this problem occurs when I'm using all ICS based rom..
Anybody has any idea if this is a known problem, or if its just us few having thisissue?

I have same problem. I have SE xperia mini with CM9. WiFi worked fine until yesterday. Now phone can't connect to AP (full signal - try connect -> signal drops down), but sharing 3G internet over WiFi works fine. I cleared dalvik cache, but that didn't help.
Hi guys,
Looked for an answer on this forum, no luck....
Problem,
When connected to an Wifi N-router, my wifi works for an certan amount of time and than drops. Wifi says I have a full conncetion but all my apps say there is no internet. Manually set Wifi on and off works until the connection drops again.
The strange thing is that it is only on N-routers. When I put the mixed mode on, it works like a charm.
But the problem is, Wifi is so slow on mixed that it is no option for long term.
Also it looks like even some routers with mixed on, makes the wifi drop. On my ubee modem every mode drops the signal, on a older linksys modem mixed (b/g/n) works.
Solutions tried:
- Got a new phone, same problem
- Factory reset, same problem
- Disabling Wifi power saver or any battery saver, same problem
- Change Wifi direct name, no luck
- Try apps like wifi repair, or signal boost, no change
- Static Ip adress, did not work
- WPA, WPA2, WEP, no luck.
- disable sleep on my phone, no luck
- Reset the modem, even factory reset the modem, same problem
- Problem was still existing after Firmware update....
I think I tried almost everything. Do one of you have the solution?
Phone
Acer E700
Kitkat 4.4.2
Not rooted or anything...
Thanks so much!

The issue was driving me crazy since the update to KK 4.4.2. It was like disconnecting the Wifi but the Wifi was not disabled, just the Wifi icon turned grey instead of the green when you are actually connected. Well long story short, turn off your BLUETOOTH and it will not disconnect anymore from Wifi. It seems to be a 4.4.2 bug.
Yeah I know.. who would have thought that?
Anyways, this works for my Acer E700 for days now and I am pretty convinced it will keep on working. Before this I was losing the connection within half an hour (but when on the power adapter the Wifi wasnt dropped)
Hi all,
About a month or so ago I started to experience issues with with the Wifi and Bluetooth on my tablet.
At this stage I'm unable to switch on the Wifi or the Bluetooth. I'm only able to to use the cellular connection. When you try and enable the wifi connection is shows that it's trying to scan for a network, but it actually never switches the Wifi on. At times it actually pauses for a few seconds after selecting the Wifi option. Then at times it just doesn't do anything when trying to activate the Wifi via the quick pull down menu.
From what I have read it appears to be a hardware problem, but then I also saw comments that it might just be a software issue.
I was rooted at one stage and in my desperation I did a OTA update to the latest 5.1.1 release to see if that will help, but it did not.
When I was rooted I did a factory reset via TWRP, but that also did not work.
My device isn't under warranty anymore so RMA isn't really an option.
However I would like to check with the community if there is anyone else who had this issue and managed to get it fixed.
Is it a hardware or software problem or even a bit of both?
Would one be able to possibly replace the WIFI and Bluetooth radio in the Z2?
I normally use the Z2 for media consumption whilst at home over the wifi connection and would like to see if it can be fixed without costing an arm and a leg.
Your help or suggestion will be appreciated.
Hi,
I have searched but unable to find something similar to my issue.
I have a Asus ZenFone 3 Laser - ZC551KL.
Background:
Have had the phone for about a year but haven't gotten around to transferring SMS etc from current phone so it is currently only used as a tablet / watching YouTube etc. So not used massively.
On Thursday/Friday I came home and was unable to connect to my WiFi. When I restarted device I could connect but noticed Poor Signal and slow internet. It was now I noticed that none of our neighbouring wifi was showing.
I tried:
Restarting routers and phone.
Reset network settings
Safe Mode
My wife has the same phone and able to see all the normal networks. It doesn't seem to be an issue with speed once connected but I now need to be within about 5 meters of the router to connect.
I am curious if anyone else has had this or a similar issue / how they fixed it?
If people think think it might be a hardware or software error?
Possible fixes.
Android 7.1.1
Android Security Patch - 05-JUL-2018
.Model (in settings) ASUS_Z01BDA
Thanks in advance for your time and help.
