Hi, I have a Xoom Wifi, originally Canadian but flashed the US firmware, and updated to ICS 4.0.4.
I've noticed that the Wifi tends to disconnect sporadically and only while streaming video (watching YouTube videos, either in the YouTube app or on Chrome, or streaming from a local machine via Plex or Emit). It never ever seems to happen when doing normal browsing, or even copying large files via a shared network folder, only when watching video. Rebooting the tablet seems to fix the problem for a while, but wifi starts dropping about 20 minutes after booting and loading a streaming movie.
I've tried changing DHCP to a static IP, changing the wifi channel, and several different routers, and the problem stays the same. Has anyone else experienced this or heard of a fix?

I don't know if there is a fault with the htc wildfire or my Cyanogenmod 6.1 firmware but any streaming of live video freezes after about 5 minutes. Has anyone else come across the same problem? It's almost like a full buffer or out of available memory error. The video stream can be restarted no problems. This seems to be with the wi-fi and not the 3g. I am using a Netgear Wireless-G router WGR614v9 on virgin media.
Indeed Virgin media may be resetting the wi-fi connection causing the video to stop.
I got the phone in December and I haven't had a problem. I use the standard Xfinity router and all my other wireless devices are unaffected. All of a sudden the Facebook and YouTube apps will not work properly. I can navigate to these sites on Chrome no problem. Watching a video on YouTube or loading my news feed via the apps just doesn't work. If I turn Wi-Fi off the apps work fine, it's just over WiFi. Also I have uninstalled the updates to these apps and it did nothing.
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
I have DSL 6mbps connected to a Linksys E2500 router, very good connectivity, and my PC is hardwired to it. I can play 720p videos on 3-4 devices with no buffering. I just got a brand new S6, set it up, synced, and once I connect it to wifi, it slows down astronomically. I can barely load one 144p video, the phone itself can barely load anything. I turned off auto backup, smart switch wifi, and nothing helps. I can't find anyone with this problem.
I turned off everything except my PC and the S6, load a game, get 60ms ping, turn on wifi on the phone, and I get over 999ms of ping. What is the problem? I have tried restarting router, phone, resetting network configs on phone, etc. Nothing helps.
Any ideas?
Hi All?
Is anyone having any problems with their WiFi on their Pixel?
Doesn’t matter what app im using (Facebook WhatsApp ect) the WiFi doesn’t seem to work correctly. It is connected constantly so its not dropping out, however videos on Facebook just won’t play, or play and buffer for ages.
It seems intermittent though, sometime it will work fine, but this is about 1 in 10,
If I turn off WiFi and connect to 4g it works fine instantly.
I’m on Pure Nexus, but this problem existed before hand on stock.
I have upgraded modem,
I have checked the channels on the router,
I have disabled 2.4 ghz and done 5Ghz only and the problem is still there.
I’m on Virgin media, 300mb which works perfectly fine via cable and laptop via wifi.
Any ideas?
