Wifi issues

Currently on stock ROM, not rooted. My wifi seems to stop connecting intermittently. The Network appears to be present when checking but it won't connect to it for 5 minutes at a time. The wifi sleep policy is also set to never

try to remove the battery for a few minutes...if it doesn't work try to access another wifi because your router might be the problem.

nope....
battery pull definitely didnt help. I went ahead and adjusted my network router for dual band to see if that helps at all

Also have WiFi issues
I run into that as well. It says I am connected, even gives me an IP, but all my data still seems to go over the cellular network..
Very frustrating at home.

You can use Juice Defender to automatically disconnect data when you're on WiFi... I've been using it for months and it has worked flawlessly. You can also go into Menu... Settings... Wireless and network....Mobile networks... and manually uncheck "Use packet data" (this is what allows mobile data to connect).

I had these problems also I talk to one of the geek squad guys at best buy he told me that samsung products have problems with some routers because samsung products like to keep the same ip address which my conflict with other wifi products. So I bought a new router that was stronger and assigned my phone an ip address and that solve my problem.

ICS data slow to connect

I am running the Zero rom and it is working great. I am having one issue but not sure if it is ICS related ot not. I am currently in Afghanistan and have edge data service. When I first started using it on GB all I had to do was create a new Access Point and only had to enter "internet" into the APN, no authentication, no proxy etc. So I instaleld ICS then when to their website (etisalat) for the APN setting. They show using a proxy but still no authentication. When I use those settings it shows that I am connected to edge but I get no data down and eventually get an error about not connetcing to the proxy. Anyway, I couldn't get it to work so I used the original APN setting but had to enable "Pap or Chap" authentication. Now it works.
But, the problem I am having is that it takes forwver to get data to connect. I mean when I leave my wifi connection, or go from a place with no cell signal to a place with signal, it takes a long time (5-30 min) for the phone to establish a data connection. I try to open my broswer or other internet programs but they just fail to connect saying no network avaiable. I try turning data on and off etc but it doesn't force it to connect. Eventually I will see the edge data connection icon showing in the top bar and it works again.
Anyone have any idea why it is slow to connect to the data? I never had this problem in GB.
Thanks

Try flashing the radio from this thread, its UCLA3, the best radio in many peoples opinion for speed and connectivity. It is gb based, but that shouldn't be an issue. I was using it with ics for a long time

Thanks, I will give it a try.

Well that didn't seem to help. Any other ideas?
Thanks

One XL Telstra. WiFi Issues after Jelly Bean update

I installed Jelly Bean update with Sense 4+ on Christmas eve. Since then my WiFi connects but when I got to use data, say email internet or even some apps it says no data connection. The WiFi symbol is active in status bar showing full bars.
I'm hoping someone has some ideas as I'm having no luck. Thanks

I've still been working at this. I've logged into my modem/ router and it recognise my phone on a wireless connection.
I've deleted and reconnected my connection on the phone. Re booted phone and modem several times.
I've yet to try my phone on another network. But my laptop connects to WiFi ok and phone was working fine untill the update.

Sounds identical to this guy:

Maybe you guys can continue within 1 thread?
Once again sounds like a DNS problem.
Try to prove that your handset has correct DNS settings. Also try to find something you 2 have in common with your setup. Is it the same ISP, same modem, same whatever?
Maybe ring Telstra and ask them?

I found that I had the same issue and downloaded WiFi Manager and changed my DNS/Gateway settings. This fixed the problem. I'm not too sure what may have caused the problem initially but I do know my router uses 192.168.1.254 as its address. This could have something to do with it however this is just a theory.

I changed my gateway settings, which had defaulted to something completely wrong, and can confirm it fixed accessing the net for me to, thanks!

I just downloaded WiFi manager (I'm having the same problem). Any idea what I do from here? I'm using a Netgear router, and I can still connect to the modem settings on 192.168.0.1 but that's all.

I didn't find wifi manager to be any help with the problem specifically. But changing the gateway worked for me.
Settings > Wifi > Long Press on network > Modify > Show advanced options > IP Settings > Static >
Then I scrolled to Gateway, where I removed the existing numbers and entered the IP address of my modem (not router, unless its an modem/router combo).
Leaving all other settings as they were, this worked fine for me. I don't know if you may also need to change DNS 1, or if you will have to configure a static IP on your router, but I didn't. Hope that helps

I just went all out and changed all settings, including setting a static IP. After dealing with Tech Support, "factory reset your device to isolate issue" I just wanted to attack every possibility. It seems from previous posts this may just be a Gateway issue. I should have known to long-press on the network to access advanced options. Amateur error.

[Completed] Xiaomi Mi-3 Wifi error

I just got this phone few days ago and everything was great, up to yesterday. When i got home my phone cant seem to connect with my home network anymore. I have no idea what is going on and tried many suggested fixes like forgetting and reconnecting, resetting router, i even did a factory reset for my phone and tried few apps on the play store. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks so much for your time:crying:

Can you connect to any other wifi network?
If yes, then there is a problem with your home wifi router.
If no, then there is a problem with your phone.
EDIT: After a bit of searching, i came up with this,
Your wireless network may need to have your devices mac address before it can recognize and grant wifi access to that device.It turns out you need to add the mac address to your router so that it can let the device associated with the mac address connect to the network. If you don't know how to do this, or can't find another solution, call your network provider for assistance. They should be able to help you out. I cannot tell you how to fix your problem because I don't know (and don't want to know lol) your router address / IP address and password.

WiFi issues after Marshmallow update

Hey guys,
Having an issue with WiFi since the Marshmallow update. We have an open WiFi network at work that you need to sign in to the firewall to access internet. Previously it worked fine, but after the Marshmallow update, my phone constantly drops the WiFi network. It always happens when I lock the phone or otherwise let the screen turn off for more than about a minute, but it also happens even when I'm using my phone, if I'm on for more than about 5 minutes on average it drops the network. When I go to reconnect, it lists under the SSID "Internet not available" but I just tap the network and tap connect and it connects anyway, doesn't even make me sign into the firewall again. I'd really appreciate some help with this, if I can't get this fixed I'll be doing away with Android for good. I don't use my phone for much other than Facebook and games, so I'm not at all opposed to using a custom ROM if that would help. Just haven't installed one since CM7 on my HTC Evo Shift, so I duno which would be best for my situation. Thanks in advance for any input!

Bump. Hopefully someone has a solution...

One more bump before I give up...

Hi, I'm on stock firm, and after the last upgrade, I cannot connect to my work's wifi network. It's a EAP-MSCHAP2 connection. At home, wifi works flawlessly....

try talking to your system administrator at work. The upgrade may cause a comparability issue that maybe fixed by a simple tweak at work.
