Lately my phone's WIFi started to have issues. It will work for few minutes and then will stop receiving any data. The only way to temporarily fix it is to toggle WIFI off and on. But then again it will only work for few minutes, anyone has an idea what's wrong?
This issue I experienced on these roms:
Stock ICS Leak #1.
SCV7
Team Shogun's ICS rom 1.2
MIUI by team shogun.
MIUI by rdavict
Does it sounds like a hardware issue? Any troubleshooting tips?
Did you have the WiFi issues when you are stock which mean the first time you get your phone?Maybe it's your base ROM problem.

No, I had this phone for about one month, but the WIFI started acting up about one week ago.
Just did a fxz back to 2.3.6 and updated to ICS. Seems to be working without issues so far.
May not matter now (I'm downloading ics as we speak) but I "solved " this problem by also keeping my Bluetooth turned on all the time. Once I did that, the wifi disconnects (which started about 9 months after I got the phone) stopped. But I'm hoping the update has a fix.

The WIFI issues started again. Will try what jacindc suggested.
Edit:
Nope, enabled BT and WIFI, rebooted, WIFI stopped working within 2 minutes. It stays connected but doesn't receive any data until I reconnect.
Maybe delete and recreate your WiFi profiles too?
My wifi has been solid since upgrading, with Bluetooth turned off.

What do you mean by deleting and recreating WIFI profiles?
Been running CM10, and WIFI works great here.
I downgraded to ICS and the problem started again. Figured out what it was when my bro started complaining that his RAZR started having WiFi problems.
The problem was that the router gave out same IP address to both phones. :facepalm:
EDIT: Both phones have identical MAC address.

I know GPS has some inherent issues all together, but lately i haven't gotten mine to work at all. I am running rooted stock rom with voodoo kernel. Anyone else having similar problems with GPS or tricks to get it to work? It just keeps saying location is unavailable...
UPDATE:
Nevermind on this, it seems that wifi and GPS are linked somehow..as soon as i turned on wifi GPS started working. I could then turn wifi back off and GPS continued to work fine.
Yeah I have no idea why that is but that's what worked for me as well.. Annoying isn't it =/

I don't know if anyone else is having this issue or not but since I updated to ics UCLD2 and UCLE2 on both updates I seem to drop wifi connection every few minutes. Every few minutes I see a box come up that says connected to belkin. I know its actually dropping it because at times I will look up at the status bar and the wifi symbol that shows your connected won't be there then it will come back on and say connected to belkin. Its something in the phone because all the other devices on wifi in the house isn't having this problem. Anyone having or have had this problem? Any solutions? My wifi is set to never sleep and I've tried several wifi fix apps on the market and I've tried changing wifi channels still no luck..

I have been on sky ics latest, with no problem yet, but its only been less than 12 hours. Did the drops start immediately or after some time?

It done it all the time on the previous leak ucld2. I thought the problem was fixed with this leak because it did fine for a couple of days it only done it a few times. But now its gets worse everyday. As long as I'm in the living room where the router is it only drops every now and then but in my bedroom away from the router it does it every few minutes....

The only thing I could suggest is flashing romracers radio he pulled from the leak. Flash it once, wait a minute, then flash it again and wait 30 seconds and reboot. It may help, it may not.
OK I don't why but I read somewhere that the skyrocket don't deal with wpa and psk security to good so I removed the security off my wifi connection and renamed it something other than belkin. I did this about oh 4 hours ago and I have not lost connection once which is great but now my wifi is wide open with no security. Guess Ill have to put my monitor on it that will let me know if more than 5 devices are connected....

Are you able to run security on your home wifi or do you just have it open? My wifi works better and faster than ever with not one disconnect as long as there is no security key to logon to the wifi. Its crazy I've never had this problem with any other device. And none of our other phones which include captivate infuse HTC status or our friends iPhone or laptops does it only my phone and only since the Android 4.0 upgrade. I flashed back to my nanadroid gingerbread backup earlier and it connected with no problems with the security on but soon as I flash back to ics is drops every few minutes until I turn the security off. So I tried the gingerbread modem with the ics and still the same drops every few minutes only with the security on. So I don't know I'm just leaving my security off and maybe when the official update comes out it will have a fix...

Im not actually at home, I am running on hotel wifi which is not secure. So I can't test that for you.
My SR has had near flawless wifi in multiple networks / security types, on 2.3.5 /6 GB and on UCLE2. The 1 exception is my home router, where it would make the secure connection, but the broadband DNS server seems to block its data connection. This affected Cappy also, resolved both with static settings. The only wifi adapters I've seen needing open settings either needed newer drivers, or were damaged ones needing replacement. One workaround for your 5 at home is a MAC filtering list.
As for wifi issues,
the only serious wifi issues I had was when using Facebook. It simply could not hold a connection. Browser, any other apps all seemed to work fine.

My wifi router is a belkin and I just recently purchased it a couple of months ago so do you think it could be bad? Also when I go to my mother in laws she has a AT&T 2 wire wireless router with security on it and my phone does it there to. None of our other phones does this and also since I posted yesterday a friend come over with a galaxy s2 not skyrocket and it connected as well with no problems. Our router is set to dynamic connection. We have DSL which is a PPOE but when I set the router to PPOE and put in the user name and password it just connecting and sticks there so I changed back to dynamic...

Given the other phones work well it seems like a fault in your phone, not the routers. One troubleshoot/workaround is to enter appropriate static IP settings as detailed in posts 1 & 7 here. That will either stabilize it or show you need to reimage the phone with full wipes to test further. You can screenshot most of the settings you need using the Ipconfig app by Mankind, during a good connection. Just take care to choose a static address outside of the router's assignable DHCP range, to avoid conflicts.
The same issue exists on the recently rolled out official ICS update for the Galaxy Note, I'm having this problem with stock radio and no root.

As long as I'm connected to an open wifi connection it works just fine but if I secure it it constantly disconnects. I'm starting to wonder if its a Samsung problem now because my wife's Samsung infuse on gingerbread is doing the same thing. And its not just my home wifi it does it at friends house with secure wifi and at mother in laws to with secure connection but never on any open connection. Um my daughters two HTC phones does not have this problem so I'm starting to think maybe its a Samsung problem. I don't think its an android problem cause both the gingerbread phone and my ics phone is doing the same thing. If it is android its something in gingerbread that carried over to ics

Had same problem
I had the same issue , went from 2.3.6 Gingerbread to the ICS UCLE2 leak and my wi-fi would turn on and off , so I just started from scratch went back to 2.3.4 via Odin , updated to 2.3.6 and flashed back to the UCLE2 leak via Odin and now it's working fine , I kinda figured it was a glitch in the software somewhere , from where I had changed rom's so many time's , and apparently it was , hope this was helpful.
I have tried lots of ICS roms till now and with every rom Iam seeing same wifi issues.
Wifi keeps disconnecting every 15 20 mins.
Today I installed official ICS using ODIN and still same issue. I was thinking this wouldn't be present in final release.
Everything works perfect on GB. Very excited about ICS but can't use my phone with wifi issues
Did anyone notice this on their phone?

I haven't had this issue personally..
Have you tried more then one WIFI network? Just thinking maybe it's your access point/router that's having issues, try restarting it perhaps?
Edit: Could also try playing with the WIFI settings in the router, sometimes changing the channel works for especially angry devices.
Factory reset the router

As I said earlier, it has nothing to do with my Router as everything works perfectly if I am on GB. I have Kindle Fire(on CM9) and Galaxy Tab 2( CM9) also and no issues those devices.
I see the same issue at home as well as in office wifi.
As the wifi gets connected within seconds after getting disconnected so it doesn't effect Web browsing, but when playing online games it becomes a nightmare.
I was running MOAR rom using noobz hotspot but now using Beans 1, both with lean kernel and had same problem. When I turn on hotspot my 4g connection disconnects and then reconnects every 10 seconds or so. It happens non stop. Don't know why or what to do to resolve this. I do not have a hotspot plan with Verizon.

This is a connection issue with Verizon. It has nothing to do with the ROM. Only way to fix it is get a stronger data signal. Sometimes I notice it tends to drop and reconnect more often then usual
Flashing a new radio may help.

I have this issue even when I have full signal strength. I am also running MD1 radio and rpm. I had MD3 but when I read about samsung pulling the source and hearing about some of the problems that have happened (even though Im not running an AOSP rom) I went back to MD1.

It may already be a reported bug, but it is possible that the ROM may be the problem. Try searching the MOAR development page and see if the issue was already reported. From my experience though, I usually have the same issues as you and I still think it has to do with Verizon.
You could always try the Treve mod and see if that fixes your issue, unless that's the mod already implemented in MOAR.
Otherwise, I'd try a clean flash to see if that fixes it. Then if it still doesn't work, run a logcat and post it. Then the developers can have something useful to check to see if something is wrong.

I had this problem using stock hot spot feature. The Treve mod works as a fix for me.
Hello everyone.
So, the wifi problem on my N5 goes back some time ago; it happened for the first time about 2 weeks after i got it, middle november i'd say:
i always keep my wifi connected while at home and sometimes it just refuses to send data anymore. The signal bar doesn't drop, but the data just stops working. I don't remember what i did the first time it happened, but it just started working as intented after a few days.(I was on 4.4.4 back then).
Now I'm on 5.0.1 and it had been working right for some time, until 2 days ago i unplugged my router then plugged it back it. Later that day I noticed the issue is back. I have absolutely no idea what to do about it and it is irritating as hell.
Did any of you guys experience this before? If so, how did you fix it?
Also, is it possible that this is a driver issue on the phone side? All my other devices work just fine on wireless.
Thanks!

you may also try forgetting your network and re-logging back in. also check the wifi frequency band and of course rebooting your router can’t hurt.

I tried all that but with no success. I think the router might be the issue since it does have some glitches where it loses connectivity and it fixes after a reboot. I'll try with another router and report after.

I have done a full factory reset on my phone due to this issue, and it still happens. It doesn't just happen at home either, it happens everywhere I go. I am assuming at this point that it is a bug in 5.0/5.0.1 and hopefully it will be fixed in 5.0.2 (if the N5 ever see's this update).
If anyone has had any luck with this bug, please let me know.
I'm having the same issues. I'm now on my 4th router in as many months and I can't figure this out after testing just about every possible configuration of channels, frequencies and settings. We have about 10 devices connected in my home and the Nexus 5 is the only device with this problem. I'm at the point now that I just use LTE at home.
Yeah it's a 5.0.1 issue, if you've found your way to XDA you should try a custom ROM. Most are branched from the aosp 5.0.2 commits.

Did Lollipop rid the wifi options of "wifi optimization" and "avoid poor connections?" I used to keep those options unchecked for a more stable wifi connection.

But I had this same problem on 4.4.4 for a little while, that's why I was inclined to think it was something to do with my router.
Ahhh okay, yeah it very well could be.
I just had to replace my logic board due to faulty wifi, I got the always 'WiFi turning on' bug.

That setting checkbox was missing in advanced wifi settings since 5.0 (and the option was forced to "on")
According to this post this has been fixed in 5.0.2:
