I'm having some odd issues with my wireless home network on my device. When I'm running a game or a program that goes to full screen it tends to disconnect from the network and switches to the 3G network. For games that require a network connection like Pocket Legends the loss of the wireless network kicks me from the server and I have to reconnect. This issue has nothing to do with being out of range of the router as it happens even when I'm sitting 10 feet away. The moment I close the full screen game or program it re-establishes the connection.
Obviously, I can play these games over the 3G network with little issue. I also tried the internet passthrough which works beautifully for games but the moment I try to access the market it loads incredibly slow, but when I disconnect and just use the wireless the market's snappy again. It's just odd and isn't exactly a life ending issue, but it is annoying.
Does anyone else have a similar issue or any suggestions that might help solve this problem?

Even though WiFi is up and running, my phone keeps getting connected via GPRS automatically. Although most programs use the WiFi connection, sometimes they switch over to GPRS. Also, when I reboot the phone, WiFi gets deactivated and GPRS kicks in automatically. Of course, this is a bad thing since my carrier allows only 1MB of downstream on GPRS.
The other problem is that WiFi keeps getting disconnected after a period of inactivity. Now I don't mind this happening as it saves battery, but I don't want this to happen when I'm at a place having access to a power source. Strictly speaking, I could live with the WiFi getting disconnected, but the irritating thing is that sometimes it just doesn't reconnect - instead, a baloon pops up informing me of all other wireless networks available - my network isn't listed! Then after a few more minutes, it automagically connects to my network. Sometimes, to get the wifi to connect, all I have to do is click on the "G" icon (I'm about to open the wireless manager) and the WiFi starts to connect! Just w.t.h is going on here? :S
Now the common "solution" for the GPRS problem that's floating around the net is to use a program that disables the GPRS connection, like Modaco NoData or such, but I'm looking for a more permanent solution (regtweak?) by which:
1) GPRS is never connected and if connected, never used by any program IF there's an active WiFi connection
2) When the phone (re)boots, WiFi should be activated and if any "known" networks are found, should connect to it automatically, else it should be deactivated
3) Perhaps WiFi/GPRS can be enabled/disabled based on the cellid/GPS and/or time schedules? Now I know of programs that can do this, but I'm looking for something extremly light, preferably which doesn't have a GUI and/or runs as a service and can be configured by xml/ini/reg (or maybe have a seperate GUI for settings)
Any ideas people?
Thanks for your time.
Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm in the same boat and would like to know as well. Thx.
Yeah, I changed phones. Didn't face this issue on a Diamond and a Hermes.
got the same problem with my tg01 keeps dropping wifi and keeps connecting to gprs when wifi is on
Hi,
My Nexus S WiFi is really unstable, it disconnects quite frequently, even when the screen is ON and I'm working. No youtube video plays to the end before the Wifi disconnects, this is really annoying.
iPhone and Galaxy works fine on the same WiFi network.
Please don't suggest resetting the router and changing channels, I've done that already and its an open network (no security) but it allows only certain Mac Addresses. Is there any real fix available or do I have to live with it?
Thanks!
from what i can tell, like the gs, the wifi, gps and perhaps other components have taken a hit in terms of their sensitivity. perhaps interference from other componenets, perhaps a poor broadcom board. who knows. whoever does, isn't saying.
Have been using Samsung HDMI connection for some time to watch TV from overseas using a VPN connection with no major problems.
In last couple of weeks however have had a lot of picture freezing. Ran Speedtest and was getting results of under .5Mb so initially assumed a bad ADSL signal or connection or WiFi problem. Tried playing with my VPN connection but no improvement. Then noticed that just using Tablet screen problem seemed to disappear and was showing download speed of in excess of 3Mb. Because I have been playing about so much using different combinations to analyse the problem have also noticed that sometimes when I plug in HDMI Adapter I also loose my WiFi connection and it says my modem is Out of Range but it finds it again after 1 or 2 scans.
Anyone got any ideas what is causing the problem?????? Even more important how to resolve it.
I have been noticing a lot of Wi-Fi disconnects while using my tablet and my phone. I keep getting disconnects and overall slower performance even though my internet is 30-D 5-U and i get better results then that with speed test on my computer but my phone speed test is about 12 down and 6 up when connected to Wi-Fi
My problem is this...
I can try to watch youtube through the youtube app and pick a crappy non HD video thats like 30 seconds long and spend 5 minutes waiting for THE AD to load... i Tried using the chrome browser and i get mildly better results... the video actually loads but buffers for 1 to 2 minutes for every 3 seconds of video i am shown.
So i tried to fix this by setting my router channel to 11 seeing as there are about 15 networks in range of me and i started getting better results.
then i had an issues with my computer getting ip conflicts if i turned it on while my phone was on the network since my PC was set to a static IP so i had to set my tablet and phone to a static aswel.
So.. after i did that i stopped getting the conflicts but now when i am playing Clash of Clans i keep getting disconnected... often... im licky if i can keep the game going long enough to do 1 attack without getting disco. (thats about 3 minutes if you never played the game)
so i dont know how to fix these disco's.. i am still getting slow overall performance from sites like youtube and even general internet searches at times. it seems like my router is refreshing or something and forcing my Wi-Fi connections to reconnect. If i have my tablet and my phone next to each other they do NOT lose connection at the same time but randomly. this issues makes no sense to me... i have no other ideas.
And before you suggest the "obvious" ive probably already tried it.
Router Linksys wrt160n
Tablet Asus eeepad TF201
Samsung Note 3 (t mobile)
Fresh install of windows (7 days old and problem was present before reset)
all drivers and firmware up to date
phone tablet and pc are all on static IP
NOTHING else is connected to my network or using my internet except my phone and tablet
i have no viruses / malware
my signal strength is EXCELLENT when i get disco and does not diminish during the disco
bump cause i m still having this issue... seems worse then before even. and its only mobile devices on my network or jst wifi connected devices.
what can i do to fix this
Actually my college internet blocks all online games. So I use Airtel mobile internet. I use usb tethering to connect to internet. While playing PUBG, It randomly shows Network lag detected. I play on Asia server. I have tried switching modes from phone info(*#*#4636#*#*) and also reset the apn settings, but nothing solves the issue. Has anyone faced this issue? Can you suggest a fix for this?
Anyone?? pls
This is a month old and found it while looking for pubg optimisations.
Assuming you are playing pubg (desktop version)
Online games require a good internet connection.
A good internet connection doesnt mean high speed only. You need faster PING. Mobile networks have slower pings compared to fiber/cable internet. So check your ping as it will change depending on signal strength,etc.
Its issue of connection not your phones fault.
PS: during your test you might see faster PING but when you are connecting to a game server that connection might have multiple hoops so you'll get slower ping than test servers( as they are designed to have less hoops and fast connection)
Hope this soothes the pain.
Did u try to use just VPN service?
@netgar: To make it worse? VPN usually takes more hops. So the ping is automatically higher. And I doubt, Airtel will route you worse than via VPN.
Same issue
i am also having the same issue
