Im getting terrible slow wifi speeds, and my notifications are extremely delayed compared to my other phones. we are talking 1-2 mins. anyone else experiencing this?
I have slow wifi speeds when I attempt to browse/download on the Google Play Store. It is UNBEARABLE.
I've been trying to find a solution but all I can seen to find is some info on changing DNS settings. Tried switching over to Google & OpenDNS and while that did increase the speed a little it wasn't much. The speeds are still slow.
There is an app you can download to help with the DNS settings but you have to root your phone first, and I really don't want to do that but I'm getting desperate.

For me this is the fastest device I have ever used when it comes to web browisng. It is blazing fast, not sure what the problem might be here.

Excuse me for being phone illiterate, but how do I go about performing a factory restore?
I've also just done a posted about this issue, Switch on GPS and see if you get better speeds could be a possible software bug.

Same here. New Nexus 5, wifi downloads from Play Store are PAINfully slow. Switch to LTE and they blaze. Did a Speedtest from my desktop, 22Mbit/s down....something is throttling our downloads over wifi!
No issues here. For the most part, I get the 50Mbps that Comcast provides me over Wi-Fi and, FWIW, my Location mode is set for Battery saving. You might want to try updating the firmware on your wireless router/access point. Cheers.
3-4 times slower than S3
Please don't say wifi on your N5 is super fast without comparing to other phone.
Download on mine is about 3-4 times slower than on S3 (proof is attached. tested from about 30-40ft away and a couple of walls. N5 was restored prior to testing and speedtest was the ONLY app downloaded from play store)
I don't know if my 5yr old 2.4 routers don't play nice with N5
Device is on 4.4.2. Didn't test it with 4.4.0.
Again, please don't just say how fast your device is. It may be super fast if you are 3" away from your router. You have to compare it!
If my Wi-Fi has been on for a while sometimes I get like .5 Mbps down while another phone can be pulling 15. Random disconnects for me also. A reboot solves it for a couple of hours...

Try updating the firmware on your routers. My N5 is in the basement and my wireless access point is upstairs and I still get the 50Mbps that Comcast provides me over Wi-Fi.

But why would Galaxy S3 be faster than N5?
Are you saying N5 is expecting something different from the router, while S3 is happy with it?
My routers are old, even if there's a firmware update... it may still be an issue issue when other routers are used...like free xfinity internet that's available throughout the city.. (unless of course all other routers are newer\better than mine and will support N5 just as well as S3).
It'd be nice if you someone could test N5 and some other device from farther away, where you don't get the maximum speed

It’s possible. It is more likely a firmware update will improve things versus making them worse.

My wireless access point (WAP) upstairs is at least 30 feet away with a ceiling separating it as well. The N5 often displays two bars in this case and I still get the 50Mbps that Comcast provides me over Wi-Fi. That said, you will be unable to do 50Mbps on 11g—at minimum you’ll need an 11n or better WAP.

Getting New Nexus 5 replacement
Had terrible issues with internet speeds and wifi as well.While running new KK 4.4.2 Kept getting foreclosing on Youtube and while viewing videos online both OTA and on Wifi.
Then aweful loading speeds and lag with error message about having issues giving me the option to close report or wait.
Called Google and they are shipping me out a new One . Already went out. They said I had a Hardware issue.
I hope my new N5 Kicks Ass as it was designed to do.
Wifi was a nightmare until I switched it to the 2.4 GHz band. Now it's pretty speedy.

Whats everyone using on their rooted Charges for this? I found PDA net to be ok but the connection is somewhat unstable. It runs great for 10 minutes then drops out. The actual cellular connection is fine, I live in the middle of a 4G sweet spot in a major city and the signal is through the roof.
I have yet to be able to get any WiFi Hotspot app to work, Android WiFi Tether and Barnacle. Both seem to have some sort of error in their logs but the app thinks it is broadcasting and working properly......but it's not, it's not actually broadcasting the SSID.....
So what actually works for everyone?
Try Open Garden(on the Market). It's pretty ****ing slow and only works for text-based sites. Sites with flash/videos are going to take a while to load. I'm still looking for an app that actually uses the 4g connection to its fullest.

PDANet, when it works well, uses the full 4G connection.
I've been using Android Wifi Tether with the Fassy profile and Samsung broadcasting. When it first starts up, it works well, but you have to restart your phone if you want to use it again after turning it off.

I'm using Open Garden and get fantastic speeds on 4G. 3G's fairly slow, but that's just the way 3G is.
Ok I still got nothing. Only thing working is PDANet. None of the wifi tethering apps are working. They try but there's always some sort of error. Also tried barnacle. What settings are people getting to work?
Am I understanding this wrong? I am supposed to be able to allow other devices to connect to my phone wirelessly and use its data connection right? I never even see the SSID on any other devices no matter what I do.
I'm using WiFi Tether v3.1 Beta 2 and it's working great.
You can download it here: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
The only problem with it is when you end a tethering session and want to start another you have to reboot. I rarely use it so it's not an issue for me but I'm getting pretty awesome speeds with it on my iPad.

Im currently using the wifi tether app to teather on my rooted s3 and for some reason i randomly disconnect from internet on my computer every so often. Im not sure whats going on or whats causing it but its a real issue when i'm running a game and randomly dc 3 times in 30 minutes =/
does anyone have any ideals on how to fix this? or is anyone else having the same problem?
- Make sure your phone has good or better reception and leave it in the same spot.
- Check the power settings on your computer, make sure the wireless card doesnt go to sleep.
- Make sure you run your app when plugged in to AC power.
Other suggestions:
- Use USB tether instead - like it or not its more reliable.
- Try a different app.
Hope some of this helps..
Yeah this problem is all phone/app side. I had a stable connection with my old phone. Ill try to find a better app

YES. Both FoxFi and Wifi Tether work poorly on my Verizon GS3. Speedtests are slower while tethering on my GS3 than when using Wifi Tether on my old Thunderbolt in the same room/same time/same server. Sometimes the SSID won't be detected by my computers and sometimes both apps will simply stop connecting to the internet after initially starting up fine.

Yeah same everything besides phone. Same 3g same spot in room, tbh today i switched back to my old phone just to stop the lag =/ im running the stripped stock rooted rom and wifitether. But like other people here are saying seems like a ton of issues. On this phone i had to mod my radio card could that be the issue with the s3?
This all sounds like another variation of this thread on XDA VZW s3 General
I don't have 4g so I can't see if my phone has an issue there *but* I do have issues on 3g.
If you have poor battery life and your calls sound like you're on the verge of losing the call even though you're in a known area you haven't had issue before, you could be experiencing the same issues others are experiencing. Verizon, as a result, has labeled by device DOA, even though I am tethering on it at this moment to type this.

Check the temperature of the phone. I recall people in the Sprint epic forum having issues once the device got hot. Tethering will do that.

Oddly enough i don't have any issues with tempature. Although just the other day for just a couple hours I noticed some slow speeds while tethered with my x2 that I'm using again until I can fix the s3 tethering. Makes me wonder if verizon is throttling me and if so how I can check or what I can do

I have a very strange situation....
Today, out of nowhere, my Shield started getting a linkspeed of 300mbps. This is very odd when my internet through 702 only allows up to 30mbps. So, I went to speedtest.net on Shield and tested it...I was getting 90mb or more downloads speed with 80mb or so upload! Not only that but my ping was 3ms and it was coming out of San Jose Californina. I live in North Dakota. I don't even know how it would be possible to share network speed like that wirelessly. I have pictures below to try and prove it... I know I'm new here on XDA but I swear on everything I know and am, this is the damned truth!! It's kinda freaking me out, but, I can't say I don't like having fast as hell internet.
Something else I noticed is Nvidia HQ is based in that area. Could it be possible they messed with me?? Can anyone offer an explanation?
As of this moment I'm still getting 243mbps down. Wtf?
Well the high link speed you are seeing should be your connection speed with your router I'm pretty sure.
I'm not exactly sure what to say about the speedtest though I never really had any issues with its accuracy. You could try comcast's speedtest and see how it compares.
were you using speedtest mini?
I used the speed test.net site itself and it always has been accurate for me. On my PC my speed comes to 28mb down which is correct, but 90mb? That's crazy. I'll try a few others

I'll also add that is hasn't sat at 300 this whole time, it sometimes goes back to a more correct 24mbps, but its been 300 pretty frequently... This is the most confusing thing I've ever heard of

Does the shield have a special browser that maybe compresses the sites at a remote destination first? And the speedtest has been between that server and the one in CA?

How about you try the speedtest.net android app?
Well I tried it but it gave me wildly different readings, one minute it would be 15mb down and 30mb up (which was very strange) and then it would be 5mb down and 22mb up. I just discounted it as inaccurate I guess... You have luck with that app?
Sent from my SHIELD using xda app-developers app
Yes i do. The reason I asked about speedtest.net mini is in one my not thinking minutes I set it up on a LAN webserver and ran a speed test......lets just say I got really really good speeds. (that were over the LAN)
This could be some sort of buffering build onto SHIELD to allow streaming which resulted Speedtets.net reading to jump all over the place. Try my S4 and SHIELD speedtest.net over WIFI. S4 results are consistent. While SHIELD can report 2 to 4 times of speed.
The 300Mbit connection you see in the wifi settings is your connection speed to your router, not to the internet
EDIT: Also, you can take a screenshot on Shield by holding the center shield button and the volume button together for a couple seconds.

My sister's family live in the countryside and ADSL there is extremely slow (0.5Mb.)
I tested my 3G speed there with my Nexus 5 and managed to get a speed of 7.5Mb, and thought that they may be able to use a cheap android phone in conjunction with a Moto G to act as a wireless hotspot for the home.
I know Three's One Plan allows tethering through a phone, but not through a 3G router, or MiFi.
Was wondering wether if it would be better to have a router connect to the Moto G's hotspot, and then for devices to connect to the router as it may send out a better wifi signal around the home?
Would be interested in other's thoughts.
Thanks
Doesn't work like that, the devices need to connect directly to the phone. I did this myself for over a year with a note 2 and it was dire, if one person is doing something even remotely demanding, you can forget about anyone else getting any pages loaded.

Hi, thank for your reply.
Was performance really that bad.
As I say, their current connection is dreadful so surely could only be better?
Also whats stopping using a router/wireless bridge connect with the Moto G as the hotspot, then the router/wirelessbridge being the point all devices connect to?
Im just interested in why... not being funny with you
Sorry for the slow reply, I didn't even check this thread (yup I'm a moron lol). I've never tried the method of using a bridge so I can't comment, as for the performance, it will certainly be better for a single person using it (or even a few if it's simple browsing/Facebook games/low res 360p YouTube etc), but if anyone tries HD streaming, or online gaming, or downloading a file, they will get a so-so experience and anyone else won't get a look in.

It should be fine with a router connected to the Moto G's hotspot as a client and eveything else in the house will connect to the router, will get ofcourse better coverage at the house and you can place the Moto G somewhere where it will pick best signal from the mobile network.

You have simply posted an off-the-cuff troll post with no intention of providing any information and have started getting aggressive for no reason.

Read again what I`ve posted, if I wanted to troll you I wouldn';t even care to point that you've gone totally off-topic.
Wondering if wifi is good on the 5.. I had gotten the s6 and sold it as the WiFi was awful. Wondering if this is an issue. TIA

My Wifi signal is good.
I am having issues with my WiFi. Slow speeds, frequently dropped signal. Very frustrating. I have noticed multiple signals coming from the same source. So I am going back to try and eliminate those to see if its my phone or my router. I will say these phones do not like multiple signals in an area.

Thanks. On my s6 it would show a great signal and then say not connected. I never found out if it is the chip or software. So I am just leary . Thanks

Edited post due to the post below mine. I deleted that after I read it. Used the OpenDNS solutions the guy was talking about and fixed it. Don't use DNSet.

I'll just leave this here. Of course decide for yourself.

Crap. Thanks for the warning.

Same as s5
I actually have a decent test for wifi. In my house, there's a shop a few (probably 6) hundred feet away, and if I leave my phone searching for wifi signals for a little bit, it powers up the antennas to the point it can pick it up, barely. This was all on my s5. So I figured, if this phone can do it, then it's the same. And I tried today, and it seems to be about the same, maybe a touch better. Which, I think is pretty good considering the difference in materials.
