I had been having trouble with the wifi on the infuse since I got it. I would be connected but have no surf. At first I thought it was the router but I ruled that out by trying 4 different brand and several security settings.
I then noticed what seemed to be the problem. When I'm on the phone and using my bluetooth headset I would lose connection on the wifi. It would still show me connected to the wifi but I wouldnt have surf. The second I turned the bluetooth headset off, what ever page I was trying to load would come up. I tried this serveral times so I know its not my imagination.
Anyone else seen this issue? Btw its a motorola H790

So I just rooted my phone today at my friend's house, I used his wifi just fine, no hickups. I don't have a service plan at the moment, so the only way I'm even using it is over wifi. Well when I got home, I tried connecting to my wpa2 secured network and I can't connect. What happens is the phone recognizes my network, I put in the passkey and it just sits and does nothing. I connected to it before I rooted my phone (and then this started happening once I changed some settings, but I figured it'd be a moot issue once I rooted.)
So far I can't get it to connect.
Any ideas as to what's going on?
So I have been using my Captivate now for 3 months and aside from the known GPS issues, everything else has been great.
I have configured the Captivate to recognize my home wife network and it has been connecting automatically for the past 3 months with no problems.
A few days ago it stopped finding and connecting to my network. The Captivate finds other networks in the area, but says mine is "not in range". On the flip side, I have no problem connecting to my wifi network with my iPhone, laptop, and other wireless peripherals, so it sounds like the problem lies with the phone.
I tried deleting the configuration on the phone and adding it again, but no go.
Any ideas????
Wifi working fine on laptop and wifes phone. I noticed that mine was dropping in and out since I updated to Lollipop on my Xperia Z3 two weeks ago. Today,its really bad-wifi icon displays for about 10 seconds then drops out for about 10,then comes in again etc. Reset the router, changed channel, no joy. Anyone else experience this?Anyone got a fix?
Tried deactivating stamina?
Yep, it's deactivated. Still doesn't fix it. It's very annoying. Only noticed it since Lollipop update. Anything else I can try?
EDIT-Just been reading online that baby monitors may interfere with wifi.......I've 2 baby monitors for my toddler and newborn......would this be causing my wifi to drop in and out???I've tried all 13 channels on my Sky broadband router but no luck....
My wifi drops in/out when the signal is poor so it may be related to the babyphones?
I've turned the 2 baby monitors off and wifi on z3 still dropping in and out. What next?? Is my phone damaged?

Try safe mode (Long press the power button, then long press the power off button onscreen, click ok) and see if the problem persists.
Have you tried different routers? Have you tried turning laptop/wife's phone into a hotspot and connecting to that? Get an app like wifi analyser and see it looks like your wifi is acting normal there. Is wifi turning off or is it just disconnecting from the router (the icon might be misleading).
It's staying on now in safe mode, thanks! But why is that happening? I did a factory reset as I thought phone was broken! Pity, I should have waited for your advice!
Edit, unstable again. Coming in and out.
Tried again this morning in safe mode. Problem still there. Wifi turns on then icon goes off and it searches and connects again. Then goes off etc. I downloaded wifi analyser but don't know what to do now?? I'm not very tech minded.
I'll look up how to turn laptop into hotspot. Thanks for your help so far.
PS -I just remembered that the Bluetooth on the phone kept connecting and disconnecting in my car this week.... Would that have anything to do with the wifi issue?
EDIT- downloaded virtual router plus to use laptop as hotspot-problem still there,connecting then disconnecting. Is the phone broken?
LG G6 on Android 7.0 ( I suspect this issue is not specific to this phone.) This happened to me like a year ago. Bluetooth in my car kept disconnecting and it had to do with me turning on some sort of feature where the phone keeps scanning for nearby Wi-Fi networks to notify me about. Of course as you drive your car around it periodically picks up a strong enough (nearby) networks. But I think it was doing it even without notifying me on the screen. Anyway, the setting was sort of buried but I eventually found where to turn it off and the bluetooth disconnect stopped.
So I replaced my phone with a new G6 because I switched providers from a GSM to a CDMA provider. I restored my apps and everything was working but then something changed and it started happening again. So I backed up the apps, factory reset, and restored just my bare minimum apps. Worked fine again. I didn't really add any apps that would affect this type of thing and then today I went for a walk and listened to an Audible book for about 45 min. Returned back and disconnected the headphone. About an hour later reconnected them and started listening to music and it started happening again. I have Wi-Fi Notification and Show Wi-Fi popup disabled in Advanced Wi-Fi and when this was happening driving around I can confirm Wi-Fi was turned off (I have a Llama event that automatically turned Wi-Fi off when I connect to my care Bluetooth)
Any ideas what is causing this issue?
I believe I determined the problem. I have a Pebble 2 watch. It was disconnected and while playing music over bluetooth, I went to reconnect it and for the first time I saw some message about allowing the app to turn on bluetooth (even though it was already on.) I enabled it and immediately lost my speaker bluetooth connection. So my guess is my watch app was repeatedly trying to connect to the watch every couple of minutes or so and each time that is what would cause the other bluetooth connection to disconnect. Maybe if I go into the watch app permissions and disable bluetooth toggle permissions that will prevent it from doing it when the watch is disconnected.
This is my second phone to have this problem. First was my old S4, now my S7 has the same problem. Basically, I want to watch YouTube or Netflix on my phone over Wi-Fi, and I want to listen to it on a bluetooth headset. But after a few minutes of watching/listening, my Wi-Fi connection always dies, I get that little exclamation point next to the Wi-Fi symbol in my notification panel, and the only way to fix it is to turn off Wi-Fi and turn it back on. It'll work for another couple minutes, then die again and need to be reset. Bluetooth stays connected the whole time and never drops. It's just the Wi-Fi that gets dropped. If I turn Bluetooth off and just listen via phone speaker or wired headphones, no problem, Wi-Fi can cruise all day.
The research I've done suggested that 2.4GHz might be causing a problem, but my network is 5GHz. Another suggestion was to switch the phone to a static IP address, that didn't help. I'd also read that Android has problems with IPv6, so I went to disable that in my router and discovered that it's never been on.
So, I found three solutions on my own, and none of them worked. Now it's time to reach out to the brain trust here. Does anyone have any idea what might be the problem? Vanilla S7, no root or ROMs. Thanks!

Have you tried the usual first step in troubleshooting, have you tried booting to recovery and wiping the cache partition?
You can also try flashing the stock firmware for your model number via Odin.
