Hey!
Just got my Touch Pro! Love it, except on thing.. When im connected to my wifi-network, it seems very unstable... Try to load up a web page in Opera and it takes forever.. suddenly it may work, but shortly after its slow and sometimes it doesnt work at all
Same goes with Youtube, so Its weird.. Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers!
You haven't mentioned what kind of signal strength you're getting. Tap the wireless icon at the top of the screen and it will tell you.
99% of problems with Wi-Fi are purely down to poor signal or interference from other Wi-Fi sources. If your phone can see lots of networks in your area, you might want to change channels on your Wi-Fi router to help avoid interference from the other networks.
I doubt the problem is with your phone.

Wifi works fine for me here... tested with WPA Linksys router at home and WPE Access Point at office... no problems, works as fast as the internet connection does.
Cheers

Anyone else having issues with internet connectivity after the 3.1 update? None of the other devices on my network are having any sort of issues. I've already tried to remove my router and readd it again but no dice. Sometimes I need to refresh webpages 3-4 times before they come up, and simple websites too.....like Google.
edit: I see the icons on the WiFi icon blinking......but webpages aren't loading. Tested the YouTube app and videos take forever to load. Also tested in DolphinHD and Opera and they're having connectivity issues also.
no problem for me. Do a cold reboot

Yeh, I tried that too. I guess I'll see if the problem goes away in the next day or so, otherwise I'll go find some instructions on restoring the machine to default. Good thing i've been too lazy to load all my apps and data on this puppy lol....too lazy and busy just playing with the damn thing lol.
No problem here. I just update about 2 hours ago. WiFi has been online w/o interruptions.
My problem is that it wont see all wifi networks available! ? e.g I know at the office there are 2 wifi routers to connect too, it will see one but not the other and the one it sees it won't connect too?!
Ideas anyone?
Plus there is no option for setting a static ip with 3.1
Just a thought, I am sure I saw that the TF cannot detect WiFi channel 13. Is there a chance that those office routers use channel 13?
I had a problem connecting to my router. I just went into the network settings and "forgot" my network. Waited a minute and the transformer detected it and connected fine.
Same here: after a few hours, the wifi activity icon blinks merrily away, but zero actual connectivity!
I had to switch to airplane mode and back again for it to work.
Sadly, it's already happened twice since this the 3.1 update earlier today!!!
haha so I'm not the only one and I'm not crazy after all!
I'm getting an issue where the wifi indicator turns white but the arrows keep blinking. I have to log off then log back on for the indicator to turn blue and the data to start flowing. Pretty lame. All other phones, comps, and I pods are connecting to the router fine.
Hello,
Why is this happening:
I'm using xoom 3g with hsdpa -connection. If I ping my xoom's ip from outside (or another address from the console) to maintain hsdpa -connection, the browser does not work as it should.
Sites do not load completely; the browser 'loading bar' stops in the middle and nothing happens. About only 1 image is loaded from the sites then nothing. But the ping keeps getting responses. I'm a bit confused why this is happening

Ever heard of a DOS attack? It's where multiple clients ping a host on the internet so that there's so much traffic going to the host that it can't operate properly. Now, most hosts on the internet have a decent connection meaning it takes a lot to bring them down. You're on a 3G connection... which are flakey at the best of times, nevermind if someone's constantly jamming icmp packets down it.
Of course, I could be wrong, but your symptoms definitely sound like that's what's happening.
Why do you have a constant ping going anyway?
Thnx for your quick response!
The host that I'm pinging from the xoom is google.fi and when I'm pinging xoom, it's from my own server that is not under dos attack. I know that 3G connection can be a poor one but that's not the case imo. At least my ping response times are 20-40ms.
I did a fast testing with the new firefox5 and this effect does not happen with it. I have to do some more fiddling with firefox.
The reason why I'm pinging constantly is to maintain HSDPA -connection and prevent xoom from roaming when I'm actually using the device like browsing the web and using gtalk. The roaming happens way too quickly (xoom drops to 3g from hsdpa)

Does that actually work? I see no reason why it should.
ed. I can't even reproduce what you're seeing. It may be that we're on different carriers, but my device isn't responding to pings from the world while on mobile data.
It's normal for HS*PA to fall back on 3G sometimes when it can't actually maintain a HS*PA connection.

Yeah I thought the whole point of it falling back to 3G was because the wasn't capable of holding an HSPDA connection? Certainly if I'm travelling I get a mixture of 3G and H... and sometimes still GPRS (*shakes fist at Orange*).

Yes it works with my provider anyway.. On the status bar when roaming/doing nothing xoom says that my connection is '3G.' When I start to ping it (or from it) the connection changes to HSDPA; logo changes to 'H' and it prevents it from falling back to 3G. Everything works much faster when the roaming doesn't happen and for some reason even the conn dies sometimes (no internet connection) when it keeps changing it back and worth.
Didn't have too much time to test it with firefox5, but it seems that this doesn't happen with it.. but firefox itselfs crashes a bit too often Maybe this whole "thing" is fixed in honeycomb 3.1.

Hi all
Does anyone else have an issue with their wifi where it looks like its connected (blue wifi logo etc) but that it doesn't work? (ie can't browse, emails and twitter doen't refresh etc)
You can 'fix' it by turning wifi off and on again, but then a few minutes later the connection has gone again?
It is not a signal strength issue as it happens next to my router as much as upstairs, away from the router.
I've moved router channels to a less crowded frequency but to no avail.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I have a rooted .29 if that helps?

Same here but on the. 17 version I think....
Possibly not a great deal of help, but I just took mine back and the new one is perfect. No one else seems to have any problems so I assumed it was a hardware fault.
No wifi problems on mine. Using a Netgear WNDR4500. Range is excellent, much better than any of my other android devices.
Works like a champ! rooted .26 :thumbup:

hi all,
Something has been bothering me for a while with my p6800, when connected to wifi my connection intermittently slows down to a crawl or even times out, taking forever to load a webpage. No problems on 3g though... My wifi connection is not disconnecting or anything, full bars all the way.
Anybody know why and how I can fix this, as annoying is an understatement
Thanks!
Ps. using 300n router, not a congested channel. No problems with wifi on notebook or other devices. On Android 4.1.2.
Hi Arobase,
Thanks for your reply, had just about given up on this one. :good:
I'm on 4.1.2 stock md3 and using WPA2 encryption. Don't think it matters though because I've had these problems from the get go, on stock ROM when just bought and on various Wifi encryptions (random browser timeouts, no Wifi connection drop though...). Can't really see a pattern, sometimes my wifi will work flawlessly, other times it just refuses...
Was wondering wether others had a similar issue. If you've got any ideas, do please let me know. Tbanks again!
Hello! I flashed the stock image two days ago, as I was not part of the initial wave. Everything seems to be working great, but with one exception. When connected to wifi, anything that must pull information from the web has major lag. For example, opening facebook (or facebook messenger), or instagram, or twitter. You get the idea. Opening facebook messenger, for instance, takes around 9 seconds to load a conversation.
I did a ping test through my phone, using google.com, and found that it took around 9100 ms.
If I disconnect from wifi, which switches me to LTE, this issue disappears.
Switching from wireless 2.4 ghz to 5 ghz makes no difference.
While I have found bug reports about problems connecting to wifi, I haven't really found anyone with this specific issue. If anyone has any thoughts, I would greatly appreciate them.
Update:
Speed test shows that my wifi connection is running at normal pace. Ping test showed a delay, so I am assuming that is where the problem is. This problem does not occur on any other of my devices using my wlan.
I'm experiencing the same thing, unsure of what's going on. Facebook is so sluggish and everything else I do on the Internet seems to be so slow...
Same for me
I am also having issues with WIFI on Lollipop. I always seem to be connected to the network but when I open apps that use the internet connection, it takes forever to load. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and other mainstream apps are having a real hard time loading images
I am having the same problem.
Weird thing is that I was at a different location today and used the wifi there without any problems. Didn't have time to figure out what was different with their network configuration.
Same problem here.. both on my phone and my wife's. If anyone here hears of a solution... please post back.
Fixed

Actually... I fixed this.. I have a D-Link-655 Router.. I had a firmware from 2012 on it.. I updated to the latest from 2013 and I no longer have problems with wifi-lag on mine or my wife's phones with Lollipop. Something to consider before fussing with IPv6 settings.
