[Q] WiFi causing reboot - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After the 3.1 update (OTA), I've been having problems were after a night charging with a dock, when I try to connect to my home network, the transformer reboots as soon as I seen "obtaining IP address from [my home network name]".
There doesn't seem to be anyone else having the same problem. Any hints?
Thanks.

Mate I get the same issue - Had it with all previous versions. It just gets stuck in a reboot cycle. If you disable the wifi it stops rebooting but as soon as the wifi is restored it starts back into the cycle. I had fixed it once but couldn't work out how when it happened again last night. I ended up having to wipe it and start again. This fixes it for a while but not sure why it does it.

Does anyone know a fix for this issue?

3.2 wifi disconnection..?

Anyone else having wifi problems after updating? I didn;t have problems before, but it seems that after 3.2, my wifi stops every couple of minutes or something like that. I don't know if it's my own wirelss's problem, so when I get back on campus, I'll attempt downloading and seeing if it gets interrupted again.
Yep I'm having the same problem. Keeps kicking me out of my PocketCloud remote. Thought it might just be me. I've noticed the Wifi symbol stays grey a lot when it used to stay blue. It's not my network, the only change was the update to 3.2.
Yeah... it's grey and it keeps disconnecting me while I try to download an episode..
(stock 3.2)

I got kicked out of my home Wifi several times last night after updating to 3.2. I didn't have this issue on 3.1. What a total disappointment...
WiFi with 8.4.4.11
Did you install 8.4.4.11 before installing 3.2?
My tablet came back from RMA with firmware .11 installed, but before 3.2 came out. I noticed similar behavior with the WiFi. In my case it never found any networks (I'm guess some wire got messed up when they fixed the power button issue). However, when on the WiFi page in settings normally it says "scanning" under WiFi when looking for a network. On mine it would say "scanning" for a second and then it would go away, then it would say "scanning" again, then disappear, etc. Maybe there is an issue with the WiFi driver?
I'm hopeing the tablet will be back next week (it was in repair status yesterday). The first time I sent it in it came back with a pretty good description of what they did to fix it (its just a bummer they broke it at the same time).

What are you Wifi setting, especially the disconnect settings? It could be that the update changed the settings.
Hmm, I checked it because I saw another thread saying something similar, but it was still marked as "disconnect when screen is closed." I also tried unchecking it and rechecking it, then turning wifi on and back off to see if it would fix it. (It didn't!)
Well, I'm hoping it will be fixed by Asus sometime soon, but it's not too big a problem at the moment since I don't HAVE to watch those episodes. :/
Mine is set to never disconnect. Even tried changing to a different setting and back.
Confirmed. Had this happen since the .11 update.
I may try a wipe and restore. Considering going ahead and rooting if it comes down to swiping. Anyone tried either?
yeah I might as well root if i have to reset everything...
Yes, same problem...disconnecting for about ten seconds every two minutes or so. Makes listening to radio quite impossible...
Have done resets and changing wi-fi channel to 9, doesn't help.
I've noticed this, but it hasn't happened very frequently. For me, it seems to happen mostly during when I had the screen off (which I had setup to disconnect whenever the screen is off). I recently just changed it to never disconnect, and I haven't seen it happen in the past 10 minutes or so, but that could just be me.
I do agree though, it seems as if there is some kind of bug here as well.
I had a similar problem before 3.2 ...i fixed it the day before the update. I forced my router to not be bonded to a channel and set it to auto.
Youtube constant buffering was fixed.. now it downloads the videos quickly and no buffing after the first time.
Also my apps like CNN that have alot of visual pictures in the main menu load up instantly and downloads are lighting quick. No interruptions, re-downloads or anything. Even when apps are updating..Games like Dungeon defenders that has alot of initial downloads pulls the data without stopping.
I suffered from disconnections before i set the router to Auto and choose a channel on its own.
No issue here.

That is exactly what mine is doing. Has anyone contacted Asus?
I think I have a fix. I tried the old assign it a static IP on the TF itself. Icon stayed blue for over 5 mins without turing grey. I'll have to check my PocketCloud tomorrow and confirm the fix.
I've been having the same issue...... every few minutes it says no connection. It also seems like I have fewer bars on my wifi signal icon too.... hope a fix is found soon because it's frustrating.
Well, I tried it on campus, same thing, disconnects within a download of an episode.. (like 4-5 minutes??). Oh no! I'll never get to finish Triumph in the Skies..
It happens to me too. It is quite frustrating.
I have already tried to assign a static IP but with no success.

38R Wi-fi connection issue

Ever since my phone got the XNPH38R update I've been having an issue with wi-fi
If I connect to wifi it works fine but as soon as I lose the wifi signal it can't seem to reconnect to the same wifi without rebooting the phone. Its especially annoying when I walk to get the mail or come home from anywhere.
I've tried manually connecting to the wifi after being disconnected in the android wifi settings menu but it doesn't connect until I reboot my phone.
I'm running the 64GB oneplus one on t-mobile in the usa.
Any suggestions?

I've had this issue on CM, except it'd work when I manually connected back to the wifi - I believe it's an issue when the phone goes to sleep it's failing to resume wifi connections.
The only thing I could suggest is try downgrading back down, or doing a clean re-install, and reporting this issue on CM's jira, so they can fix it.

I'm on OMNI now, so I can't really help you out, but do try unticking that 'wifi optimization' option, or perhaps using a tasker profile to turn off and on wifi whenever the screen display turns off and on respectively (at the trade off of loosing connection, so you won't be able to download stuff while the phone's off).
i have the same problem..

Nexus 5 WiFi Crashing Phone

Hi all. I have a weird issue that after Googling it doesn't seem anyone else has had.
The issue started earlier today, in the morning. I was using my phone on the WiFi and it was working phone, then my phone crashed, restarted itself.
I noticed it wasn't connected to the WiFi, went to the WiFi settings and where it usually says the list of networks it said "Turning on WiFi" and the slider at the top was greyed out so I couldn't turn it off.
I tried airplane mode and that didn't help. But the phone was working fine on my mobile data so restarted.
Now the weirder part starts. I basically have an issue where, if I turn on the WiFi, my phone crashes, or doesn't act like it's turning the WiFi on.
Even going Settings and then pressing on the WiFi option freezes the phone.
The problem started when I was still using 4.4.4 however since the problem developed I've used my mobile data to download the updates and now have 5.1.1 I think.
The problem persists even after updating to the most recent version and doing a factory restore. The phone is currently completely stock with nothing downloaded on to it. All I did is go through the first time setup for the device.
The WiFi currently is off, and the phone is working however it won't connect to my data, it has the signal bars and then an ! instead of a 4G icon.
If I try to turn the WiFi on it crashes the phone.
The phone is still under warranty so I plan on contacting LG on Monday however it's currently 3:34 AM on a Sunday so I have a day until I can call them and was hoping for a solution in that time.
Thanks in advance. I have the phone to hand so anything you want me to test I'm able to.
There is some information I didn't type as I don't know what is important was trying to avoid a wall of text so if you have any more questions I'll answer I best I can.
Thanks for reading, I hope you can help!

Oreo update broke wifi

Updated to Oreo today. Everything seemed fine but I've noticed that the wifi is now intermittent to the point of uselessness. The wifi will show connected, but will stop passing data after 10 seconds or so. Sometimes it recovers and sometimes it doesn't. I can disconnect and reconnect to get it started again, but it goes right back into the problem in another 10 seconds.
Things I've tried that did not fix the problem:
1. Rebooting phone
2. Rebooting router
3. Forgetting and reconnecting to wifi
And in combo: Forget wifi, reboot phone, reboot router, reconnect
So it's not a settings or "stale" connection issue. It's definitely something in the update that messed up the wifi driver somehow. It's completely useless now; I have to use mobile data all the time to get anything done.
I usually don't like to update OTA but tend to wait till the full firmware is available and I then flash my phone this way its got no conflicts, the latest firmware I can find for oreo is G950USQS2CRB9 so you might find the download and try flashing it, might help, wouldn't hurt anything to do it to see if that will fix any wifi issues.
It not solve the problem and many people have the issue on different forums

WiFi "freeze"

Hi guys,
i'm writing here because i am experiencing a weird wifi problem.
Basically, at random moments while using the phone, wifi stops working.
The wifi icon still shows that i'm connected, but i cannot send nor receive any data.
To restore wifi functionality i must wait some time (20 to 30 seconds) or turn off and on the wifi.
I don't think it's an AP / Router issue cause it's the only device in my house that shows this problem.
I tried searching online but i couldn't find anything similar to my case.
Has this happened to anyone? There is someone who can help me solve this problem?
Thanks.
Try wipe saved WiFi. If still not work, try factory reset
