[Q] Xoom connectivity issue - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ever since I bought my Xoom I've had a connectivity issue with it when used on my home Wifi network ts fine when used on my works one). What happens is that my internet preiodically disconnects and I have to disconnect and reconnect wifi to get it working again. I've tried changing my router channels but to no avail.
I've recently installed a few programmes to analyse whats going on. I've found that when I received an email on my hotmail account my internet usually drops, delving deeper it seems the network speed drops from 54mbps to sometimes half this (can't remember the exact number).
I've checked my email settings and I can't seem to find anything that would cause me to disconnect once it checks my emails. And anyhow the disconnection or slow down is usally caused as it is trying to retieve the email and then once I manually disconnect and reconnect my wifi the email comes through.
Has anyone got any ideas on how to solve this problem?
Thanks.

[Problem] Wifi turns on durning a call.

Like in topic.
It turns on mostly durning incomming call.
I've found some information about this issue on other forums.
Propably coused by enabled DirectPush. When phone starts a call, the EDGE connection is interrupt. Sometimes after 2 minutes, sometimes after few second, Wifi turns on.
Theroy says - DirectPush force wifi to get connected.
It's not happend after soft reset with Wifi off. It happends when Wifi was enabled and disabled before manualy.
This is annoying of course...
Is someone experince this same issue with Raphael? Maybe there is some solution? I like to be "as item arrive" connected...
I have the same issue...using the Proven 14a WWE. During the incomming call the WiFi is turning on. Anybody can help?
Thanks

Same here, started when I installed GB-SOFT tweak to disable data connection after x minutes idle. Wifi turn on when I make or recieve a call, data connection is of when I start the caal and durring the call my TP checks my business mail (set to check account every 5 minutes). Probably caused due to the fact that TP is forced to check my mail but cannot open GPRS or UMTS connection because of the call.
If I set GB-SOFT tweak to always connect to the data network I dont have the issue. So my temporary solution is to stay connected to the network, it at least drains the battery less compared to WiFi.
I've got the same issue. I think it does have something to do with direct push set up for exchange. There really isn't much on the forums (or at least I am having a tough time finding anything) in the way of resolving this. Some were saying that it is a "feature" haha. No thanks!
Well...yesterday I tryied several ROMs..Lantis, ROMeOS, Elite...so far so good at the end I turned back to Proven..however after that jugglin' with ROM's I don't see the WiFi turning on accidentally again...just guessing, maybe it is just some bug during loading process..when you try again you might be lucky ..worth tryin'
cheers
It would help if everyone stated the ROM and Radio as well as other basic information when posting problem reports.
Well, I have ROMeOS 1.60.2 with .28 radio.
I've had this problem on my Hermes as well.
Im 100% sure, that is caused by active DirectPush.
It's just trying to stay connected during phone call and forces wifi to start and connect.
It's very annoying, but i don't think there is solution for this.
Here its stock ROM and radio .20M1. It definately has something to do with trying to make a data connection wile on a call. For me it is however not when I am always connected but when I set "make a connection every 5 mins". Since I changed to radio .20M1 did not experience the WiFi popup, but this can also be because I selected the always connect.
Furthermore I beleive it has something to do with some programme installed lately because I did not see this phenomen the first few months. But what is it ......
OK sorry for that I should mention it earlier...
I have Proven 14a
Radios tested .19, .28, .32 - everywhere the same issue...since yesterday when I wrote my last post I saw it only once! Which is pretty good...till that time it was happening every call.
cheers
Come on guys. it's very simple. If you have defined direct Push "as item arrive", and you turn on than off your wifi, than it's almost for sure that you will have this issue. it's not connected with radio or rom. it's just wm bug.....
the outlook is downloading emails every 15mins...the Push is turned off...how should I setup the outlook to use only GPRS/EDGE connection and not use the Wifi if the GPRS is not available during call?
thanks

I had this issue it was because in network connections it was set to my vpn and not sprint. changed it and it has never done it again

I'm not sure what you mean here exactly. Are you saying that you have a VPN set up? If you did something specific to fix this issue, I'd be very interested in getting more of a step by step, because this is driving me nuts.

[Q] wifi problems

im having trouble connecting to wifi. my phone just hangs at obtaining ip address and then eventually fails. ive tried with many different wifi connections not just mine. all the same. Anyone else having this problem?
Yes same problem here.
It seems a general problem like the GPS.
I found out that depending of the router brand it works better (for example, no problem with a linksys).
To go arround the problem you can try this:
- go in flight mode
- activate wifi
- when you have a wifi connection (test with to browser) reactivate the phone
I hope it helps

Bring the phone back, and get a replacement. I have had no such problems with my Captivate.
I do notice that the WiFi signal isn't as strong as on my iphone's in the same area of the house though.
still not connecting.. maybe i messed up a flash with odin. i will try that again
the problem started when i flash jm5
problem solved reflashed

[Q] WP7 Wifi connectivity problem

Hi lately i have been experiencing troubles with my wifi.
The router signal is strong and whenever i turn on my phone it will be connected in less than a few seconds but WITHOUT connectivity. (ie. the wifi symbol shows connected but i cant browse the net)
The only work around for this is to manually disable and re-enable wifi for my phone to be truly connected. (Which is very tedious)
I know this may be a router problem as well but in the past i didnt have this issue.
Im using HTC Mozart 7 - updated to 8107
I was wondering if anyone is having this issue too and knows of a solution to it.
Thanks
unplug the router and plug it back in (after 30 seconds)
Home routers are noted to stop handing out addresses at random times. Rebooting re-enables this so the phone can get an address and get on the net.
Hm my router is working properly. All my other devices are connected with connectivity. Whenever i turn on my phone, it also says connected (but without connectivity), so the work around is to disable and re-enable my "phone" wifi and then my phone is connected WITH connectivity.
To do that is quite tedious every single time... and it seems like a connection bug in my phone if all my other WIFI devices are connecting properly
Thanks
Hi guys.
I have the same issues with my Omnia 7 too. Started a few days ago. Cant sync emails, nor surf on my phone. It seems like itss connected to my network. I have my latop and other phone working on it like a charm. Any ideas?
Hi,
I have the same problem on my Omnia 7 and it all started after the 8107.79 OS Update.
The WiFi works fine when you first connect but after the phone is not used for a few minutes and I turn it on, it's shows as connected but I can't load any websites.
If I disconnect the WiFi and connect again it works fine
This is a serious issue!!!
I have also tried to restart my router but this didn't solve the problem.
Did you guys found a workaround?
Thanks!
Same here
I have the same problem (after 8107 update).
It connects to my wifi, and strangely sometimes (but that's rare) working, and get pages to load on, but then it shows the connection, but can't load any page in IE.
Also, reconnecting doesn't solve always the problem.
Any suggestions what to do?
After i have done a hard reset, and reverted back to 7740, i don't got any problem to cennect to my home wifi.
But the disappearing keyboard is really annoying, so i want the 8107 update features, but not the bugs of it.
Still no other one have problems with the wifi connection @8107???
We are 3-4 who got the problem, so i don't think its so user specific...
Another news
After reverted back to 7740 i decided to update one more time to 8107. (If something will go wrong then I have a backup of my Omnia7 with WP7 Easy Backup).
So i updated to 8107 one more time (no KK2 update arrived, CSC and PDA is KI4), and now the wifi connection works fine.
So try to revert back to an earlier version (with a backup), and then update again, maybe it can solve the problem
Yea.. but that is really random then... its like saying ur update is better than my udpate!! haha even though its the same material overall
Im sure more people have this issue as well just havent seen this thread
Hello ! I have the same problem with my HTC HD7 I have to take off the battery to let WI fi work again this is very annoying!! A fix for this please!!
Sent from my HD7 T9292 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
count me too ! Omnia W
Not working - again
I've done a backup in 7740, so i reverted to it for 1 day, and there was no problem with the wifi.
Then i decided to give another try on 8107 - and it worked well for 3-4 hours. That was 2 days ago (as you can see in my earlier posts)
But now it have the same problem, connects to the home wifi, but after a while the internet is missing, however the connection remains! Can't load any page on IE and can't connect with any app that needs internet connection.
This is a serious problem, and i see that others have this problem too, so we should deal with it!
Any expert that know something about this issue?
HTC Trophy with the same WiFi problem.
I have same problem on my LG Optimus 7.
anyone with problems receiving incoming calls too? sometimes freezes the screen and have to take the battery out and put it again to reboot!
Same problem here with HTC Titan. The prob started after the 7740 update. Now running 8107. Turning the WiFi off and on again does work (thanks Mercea2) but, as he says it is tedious.
I'm having a similar (same?) issue on my Omnia 7 - the problem hasn't always been there though.
I've come up with a work-around - turn off 3G data while in range of WiFi, and turn WiFi off when not in range and switch 3G data back on.
If only one is turned on at a time, my people hub updates instantly. If both are on, it takes many attempts and a long time.
Seems like there is some issue switching between 3G and WiFi...
3G/wifi not working together
As someone said it before, the wifi keeps giving errors if 3G data connection and wifi is also turned on!
If i switch off and back the data connection switch (!!), then the wlan works again for a while. If i switch data totally off then works flawlessly.
Any workaround for that?
Maybe a homebrew, that can switch off data connection temporarily, if the phone is connected to a wifi network, and after disconnecting it will switching back. But I think if it can be done, than just on fully-unlocked roms (i have Omnia7, and unfortunately DFT SammyRainbow is not ready yet)
My wifi/3G problem started with the 8107 update (Omnia7, not KK2).
So any suggestions what to do?
Ok.... this is getting on my nerve... whats the point of having wifi on if it doesnt connect the moment that its suppose to!!!
Can we inform anyone about this?
Same problem here with HTC mozart after the update... worked for 2 days and then no more wifi
Hope microsoft put an update soon

[Q] Wifi Keeps Disconnecting and Reconnecting

My wifi network keeps disconnecting from the internet and reconnects right after. "Connection to Wi-Fi network" keeps popping up. I can still browse the internet, but if it happens to be when the internet disconnects for one second, the page cannot load. I have a feeling this is a software or hardware error, I had this problem since I got the tablet. If you look at the settings where it mentions wifi connection it will go from "Connected (network name)" to "no internet connection" then back.
This happens at school, starbucks, home, etc. I am very mobile, so it isn't the wifis problem. I have strong signals! And this doesn't happen all the time, but it does happen a fair amount. It is very annoying.
Anyway to fix this? Is this a hardware problem or something wrong with settings? Thanks.
I tried " http://support-us.samsung.com/cyber/popup/iframe/pop_troubleshooting_fr.jsp?idx=410460&modelname=GT-N8013&modelcode=GT-N8013EAVXAR" and it didnt work.
i brought a new router and this problem started to happen to me, not sure how to resolve the problem, it doesn't leave you without internet for long periods so i am not going to worry over it so much.

WiFi & LTE Connection Issues

Hello all!
My wife is running a T-Mobile Note 10+ and having major issues with the WiFi and mobile cell service. She constantly runs into her apps like Netflix and Plex saying she has no connection. She's complained of the WiFi being bad and having to disconnect from it, and then she can use LTE to watch shows, and then sometimes LTE stops working and connecting to WiFi fixes it.
Here's the thing. I finally was able to see it when it was having a fit on the WiFi. Going into the connection settings showed it was connected to our 5GHz WiFi at 7Mbps connection speed. Nothing was loading. This was on a 1300Mbps link. I disconnected from the WiFi and reconnected to it, without moving the phone's location, and voila! It reconnected at 300 something Mbps and everything started working. I believe it may be doing the same with LTE as it cuts out randomly and constantly. I saw it myself while we were driving somewhere and she couldn't load websites. My phone (OnePlus 7 Pro) is on T-Mobile as well and I have NEVER run into these issues. We are on the same provider / plan.
Her phone is fully updated and isn't rooted. I haven't touched it as a tech nerd so it's running as a total consumer as far as settings go (haven't played with APN or wireless radio or anything).
Has anyone else experienced these issues? Does anyone have any ideas to fix this?
Did you try a different wlan access point? Actually i am on the Note 10 with Exynos. Wlan and LTE are working nice for me.
Perhaps your problem is meanwhile solved through an update.
I have the same problem, mainly in LTe but sometimes also in Wifi
ANyone found a workaround ?
i've been having this issue constantly since the march security update. Didn't notice it before but it'll disconnect from my wifi, still recognise it but wont reconnect unless i restart my phone
Same here. Brazil SM-N975F.
