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.
Hello everyone,
I'm using HTC Desire S (Android 2.3.3). I've been having a weird problem lately. When my screen goes off, I stop getting notifications after 10 minutes or so. I've never experienced such a problem before. My phone was running smoothly. I used to get notifications from Whatsapp even when my phone was on sleeping mode... I started not to get notifications from any application unless I turn the screen on and wait for 5 minutes or directly click on the application wait for it to establish connection with my mobile data. I guess my mobile data dies when my phone is on sleeping mode or something. I'm not sure though because my mobile data connection is always on but somehow applications lose connection with my mobile data until my phone wakes up. Can you help me with that? I've installed an application called Juice Defender awhile ago but I deleted it since it messed up my phone. I also tried to reset my phone but still no luck... Is there anything I can do?
Thanks
do you use "Juice Defender" ?
if so, try to disable it... i had the same problem (with other device... not the Desire S) and it been solved by disabling "Juice Defender"
Not sure what could be causing that if it persists after a factory reset.
Have you looked at using Tasker instead of juice defender? I also found juice defender quite buggy, and it was in searching for an alternative that I found tasker. I think it has a free trial period. Instal a plugin called synker. Your can then set tasker to periodically force a sync of your accounts. My profile forces a sync for
2 minutes every 15 minutes, then turns auto sync off (if my screen is off). Works well and saves battery too.
Taker is quite tricky to get used to, so if you struggle, get those two installed then send me a PM and I'll send you the tasker profile. Import it and your problem will be solved!
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
ive had a simaliar issue
wifi and data go off randomly when in sleep mode
im on stock 2.3.5 and not rooted
no juicedefender apps
On my DS after the phone is left asleep overnight - I never turn it off as it's my alarm clock - I frequently get "NO SERVICE" and have to reboot.
Never got to the bottom of it either....
I know there were some bluetooth issues in the past with 4.2.x roms.
Do we still have some lingering bluetooth issues?
I have searched for my problems however there seems to be no information that I can find yet.
I have had this issue where I can connect to my Zephyr heart rate monitor (same issue with my Polar as well) for the first time. All subsequent tries to connect to either HRM fails until I reboot the phone. Once rebooted, all works well again.
I had this issue with CM 10.1.2 stable, LS 2.9 (LS2.9 both with the LS kernel and KT747). Each rom was properly wiped and no Titanium backup.
This phone is actually a replacement due to the previous SGS3 getting messed up by my wife.
I had this issue with the previous phone, AND this replacement phone as well.
I have not tried this issue on the stock rom (replacement phone was on the stock rom for about 5 minutes before it got rooted.)
I have also not tried this on another 4.1.2 TW rom such as CleanRom. My assumption is that the TW/4.1.2 roms do not have this issue, but I have not troubleshot it to that level yet.
Does someone have a link to this issue? Or any other information about it? Anything is appreciated. Search seems to be failing me at the moment. I have been searching for several days for this info.
By the way, I did flash to stock last night to take my phone in to get a new SIM card. This replacement phone was not getting 4g. At least one of my issues is fixed now
I have loaded CleanRom onto the phone this time and I will be testing bluetooth today.
So far so good. I tested re-connecting several times with no issues.
As an aside, god I hate TW roms!
Anyway, it occurs to me that the app that I am using may be causing the issue with 4.2.2.
I am using Sportstracklive and it does have a setting that enables Bluetooth Insecure mode for SGS3 phones. I had this setting checked. My thought is that this setting on an SGS3 running an AOSP rom may be causing the bluetooth lockups.
I will nandroid back to LS2.9 and find out.
I think I have figured it out. It is the app that is causing the issue.
Sportstracker has a workaround that allows HRM bluetooth to use insecure mode instead of secure mode.
This works wonderfully in 4.1.x.
Evidentally, in 4.2.x Google totally redid the bluetooth stack.
If the app uses insecure mode on 4.2.x, when the app tries to shut off bluetooth (the app turns on/off bluetooth as needed) this causes bluetooth to appear on to the app, but the phone sees the status as "shutting down" effectively hanging bluetooth until a reboot. The next time I try to use bluetooth with the app, of course, it does not work.
If I shut off insecure mode, (and reboot, clear caches, etc.) and use the app, it works just fine. However when I exit the app, it cannot shut off bluetooth. So it leaves bluetooth on. Although I don't like bluetooth to be left on, this leaves bluetooth in a state to be used by Sportstracker next time. So it works. Looks like the app dev needs to do some work.
Insecure mode=Can turn on bluetooth, hangs bluetooth when trying to shut it down.
"Secure" mode=Can turn on bluetooth, cannot turn off bluetooth.
Oh well, I hope this helps someone. I might switch to another cardio program and test. I have pretty much bought them all, so I have a lot to choose from.
FYI, my workaround for managing bluetooth automatically is to set up a tasker profile to turn on bluetooth when the app is active, and to turn it off when the app is no longer active. Works very well.
So I've had my m8 since launch, about May of 2014. I've never once had a problem with my wifi, until last week. All of a sudden, I noticed all of my wifi connections (home, work, etc) are all extremely slow. Speed tests are barely getting 1mbps down or up, and the test itself is very erratic, bobbing up and down the whole time. All my other devices are fine, and nothing with any of my wifi connections has changed. I uninstalled about 3 apps that I had installed within the last month, with no change. Verizon sent me a replacement m8, and I got it yesterday, loaded up all my stuff, and low and behold, still slow wifi.
After talking with numerous Verizon techs, they can't solve it, even after multiple factory resets. However, this morning I saw a post while googling it, not an m8 but still android. They said that if Bluetooth is on, but not connected to a device, it could cause issues. So I turned my bluetooth off, and speeds were perfect, getting exactly what my internet connection is. Turned it back on, and back to 1mbps.
So one, why is this happening? I've read that the bluetooth and wifi antennas are the same, and that could cause interference, but it should not be this bad. Second, why did this just now all of a sudden start? I didn't usually leave bluetooth on, but I got a new car about 3 months ago, and decided to leave it on to automatically connect when I'm driving. But it was fine until last week, why the change?
Have you discovered anything new? I've had my Verizon m8 since April 2014 and have always left bluetooth on for my fitbit to sync. I only recently started having problems and can't identify any recent update that happened this month that would cause it. When bluetooth is on and a device is connected my wifi performance is very slow - 100+ ms ping, 1-2Mbps up/down doing a speedtest. Turn bluetooth off and speed test again then wifi performance jumps to 20Mbps up/down with 12ms ping times to the same speedtest server.
I have factory reset my phone 3 times, changed wifi channels, tried 2 different routers and 1 access point. None of the wifi changes affected speeds until bluetooth was turned off. It seems to be a little quicker 3-5 Mbps with bluetooth on and no devices paired but still that's not acceptable.

I too have had bluetooth on for months to be able to connect to my car, never had a problem until about a month or so ago. I did two factory resets, and everything seemed to work fine, but after a day or so, when all my apps were back on the phone, it would start up again. I have a hard time believing a specific app is doing this, unless it was one of the HTC Home updates or something.
Verizon sent me a replacement M8, I got all my apps on it, and the same thing, after a day or so it's super slow with Bluetooth on, horrible ping and less than 2mbps down and up.
So then I contacted HTC directly, did all their troubleshooting, factory reset, and it's still there. They sent me a replacement as well. I turned it on, but did not put my sim into it. I spent 2 days with it, and only downloaded the Speedtest app, nothing else. Speeds are fine with bluetooth on. I then downloaded the rest of my apps (I actually do have quite a few apps, so if it's one of them it will be a pain to figure out which one). It's been two days now and speeds are still good with bluetooth on. Later today I'm going to offically move over to this phone and put my sim in it.
It's just really frustrating to keep turning bluetooth off and on again, and there should be no reason for this to be happening out of the blue all of a sudden.

Strange issue, but from how you described it, it must be a 3rd party application. What I would do in this situation, is do the factory reset, and download 5 apps at a time. Until you narrow it down to the 5 apps that are causing the issue, then you can narrow it down much easier out of the 5 applications. A pain, yes. but once you figure out the app that's causing the issue, you may decide you don't need it, or you only use it once in awhile and can remove it, until you need it, or possibly download an app ops application from the Playstore and remove the Bluetooth permissions and see if that fixes it.
Best of luck.
Seems to help...
I just tried the solution offered in another forum (xda won't let me post the link so I'll copy and paste the information here:
Open page with the available "Wi-Fi" networks (Settings, WI-FI)
Tap on the "3 dots" in the upper right corner
"Wi-Fi Direct"
Tap on the "3 dots" in the upper right corner
"Rename device"
Replace "Android_ed2c" with "HTC One" (or whatever you want) and hit "OK"
Before doing this I had a 300ms ping when Bluetooth is on, and very low bandwidth. Now with Bluetooth on the wifi ping is around 50ms (normal for my home internet) and the bandwidth is back to normal. Time will tell if it sticks, but so far so good!
So I had been running all my apps on my replacement phone for about a week now, and have had no problems. The other day I officially swapped my sim card into this new phone, and for two days now, it's been fine. Bluetooth and wifi are on constantly, and I see no issues with bandwidth. So who knows why the last two devices had a problem, but for now it seems to be fixed.
Having the same issue, originally posted on reddit and then found this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/3kv6z6/wifi_issues_with_multiple_phones/
Turned off bluetooth and it's fine... Will be experimenting with my gf's m8 this weekend.

Same HTC M8 issue - very slow WiFi when Bluetooth is running
Same problem on an HTC M8... speedof_dot_me speed test shows 96 ms latency with D/L at 0.07 mbps (really!) on an 11 mbps router. Turned off Bluetooth, and voilla! Latency dropped by 85% and WiFi speeds increased by a factor of 60! I suspect an HTC issue since an August or September update... since this wasn't occurring prior to August.
Verizon sent me a replacement M8 that was on 4.x.x android. I updated via on-air update (not rooted) to Lollipop and installed all my apps. Everything was fine. That night, it did a security update and, since then, my wifi+bluetooth were horked when turned on together.
Do, I did a factory reset (which doesn't undo the updates), but since doing the factory reset and installing just the basic Play-store updates 24 hours ago, the problem is not back.
I'm going to slowly add back my normal apps this time.
Solved on one plus one
Hello, i had since two weeks the similar issue. when bluetooth is switchef on (unconnected), wifi is very slow. in the past this different, so no issue with hardware and frequencies. Finally, I found out that it was linked to an App that accesses Bluetooth.
In my case it was the App Accu-Chek, I read in a big forum that it was linked to a Garmin app.
Uninstalling the App solved the issue.
My wife has a similar issue on Stock Galaxy S4 mini with that App.
This is definitely app-related. I tried force closing out of a bunch of apps that weren't related to the video I was playing and it seemed to fix the bandwidth issue with bluetooth enabled. Guess I'll need to experiment with closing certain apps until I find the culprit.
I was having this same problem. It looks like the RetailMeNot App was the culprit for me.

You sir deserve a cookie. Thanks for pointing out the worst app of 2015.
Solved on my Phone!
I used to have the same problem. I am having a Sony Xperia Z1 Compact and a Smartband Talk. At the beginning everything was fine but after sometime (strongly caused by a software related issue) I begin to face the same problem. While bluetooth is on WiFi bandwith dropped to a very little amount (around 0,02- 0,01 Mbits/s). Then I read somewhere, about how to verify whether it is a software or hardware issue via checking it in the Safe Mode. So I unpaired by smartband talk and uninstalled the smartband talk software (smartband talk requires a bluetooth connection for functioning). Then restarted my phone in to safe mode by tapping and holding the power off on the shutdown menu. I downloaded the smartband talk software and turned on my bluetooth and paired my smartband talk again. Then restarted my phone in to normal mode. And voila, problem solved.
It is not a guaranteed method but worth to try.
Wish you good luck.
Hey guys, I'm currently in possession of two Gear S3 watches (one European and one U.S.) and two different phones (GS7 and Pixel, both 5 in versions). I am having a horrendous time trying to get a stable connection between my watch and the phones via bluetooth. I basically can't use the watch because of how frequently it disconnects from my phone.
On my GS7, the watch would not hold a BT connection long enough out of the box to be set up properly for about an hour. It would always disconnect during setup and kick me back to the beginning. Ultimately I lucked out and managed to get it to set up after trying over and over by resetting, clearing data/cache, reinstalling app, etc. Used it for the last week or so and I definitely had a number of random BT disconnects but overall it seemed to get the job done without being too much of a distraction.
Now I have a pixel I'm trying to set up with and it's been a nightmare. I just can't get the watch to connect long enough to the pixel software to actually get going. The same message always pops up about the connection failing. "Please try again." When I look at the watch, I notice that the watch's BT radio is actually what appears to be fluctuating. It will frequently turn itself on and off in a matter of seconds. After enough connects/disconnects, the watch remains in standalone mode and manually toggling BT will not enable it anymore. A reset temporarily solves the toggle issue but not the frequent disconnect issue. I've disabled battery optimizations on the Samsung software and plugins but again the watch seems to be the bigger culprit. I can still pair to my GS7 albeit now with more frequent disconnects though not as bad as the pixel. I've tried factory resetting a bazillion times and also re flashed the software images through net odin from these forums. Nothing seems to solve this issue.
The European model was having similar quality connection with my pixel but I haven't tried it with the S7 yet. Is anyone else having these major BT issues with this watch or did I just get a few stinkers? Thanks!
I've had my watch about a month now and I've had zero Bluetooth problems.

A Friend of mine had the same issue. It seems hardware related. He exchanged it for a new one. Problem solved.

Sounds like a problem with your watch. Are your phones rooted or modded in any ways? My friend was having that issue and realized it's because he was closing the Gear app instead of leaving it open in the background (non Samsung phone)...
I have a similar problem but is the phone's fault. When too many apps are open, the bluetooth disconnects and then reconnects (resets?). My device has only 2Gb of RAM, I think it's closing apps to free up memory because when I'm not using the device it never disconnects, but as soon as I'm playing a game or using a Navigation app, it disconnects randomly.
Check if this is your case. How many apps have you installed/running in the background? I've disabled a lot of apps that start on boot.
Also when pairing it for the first time I couldn't do it on a certain custom ROM (LG phone). Looking at the logcat it was due to some missing libraries. After changing the ROM it paired successfully.
