[Q] Anyone else Having wifi connection issues with the xoom?

Hey I was wondering if anyone else was having wifi connection issues with the xoom? Every time I use my xoom I have to keep retrying to load the market, webpages and everything else that uses data. Usually have to reload the market around 3-5 times to get it to work. I have tried 2 different routers and stilll the same thing. Please let me know if anyone else is having this issue and if there is a way to fix it. Thanks
P.s. When Im on 3G everything is fine

I get it but only with Market, I assumed it was a market issue.
On. 3G, for me, everything is dog slow, but I never get the Retry box.

Mine works perfect with my AT&T U-Verse gateway and tethered to my AT&T captivate. No problems here at all with wifi. Do you have problems with other wifi routers? Go to Starbucks or a friends and see if the same issue occurs. If not, there is something with your router that Xoom does not like.

I'm having WiFi issues as well. I don't have any issues with any other laptops in my house ... but my Xoom ... get very poor signal on WiFi and sometimes doesn't get any connection at all. This is serious buzz kill.

Mine is also choking on wifi. Switch to 3g and no problems. Annoying.

Hardly surpisring when the antenna is surrounded by glass and plastic

Wifi is suspect on the Xoom. I cannot get a connection to my secure wireless at work but I can connect to the less secure guest wireless network. I also could not initially tether with my phone (TMobile Vibrant) but after I downloaded Mobile AP I was able to tether just fine and have not had any issues since then.

No complaints here to report. I'm pulling in on average a speed of 17mbps download on most days from my home wifi network. Quite the speedy little guy my Xoom is.

WiFi hasnt been a problem for me either.
So far, I've used it on 4 different wireless networks (G and N/G), using various security options and I connect to each without fail. Hell, Ive even seen the Xoom connect to WiFi when driving down the street towards places that I have it configured to see.
I did have some trouble at one point due to my DNS and DHCP servers being offline. I didnt suspect any issues with them, so I spent more time than I should have troubleshooting the Xoom.

Always Connecting...
Greetings All,
I have been having issues as well after the update. The wireless always disconnects and connects and doesn't stay connected. No problems with my Droid X or laptop or other device.
Problem is that now I'm getting very close to going over my data plan.
Is there a fix in the works, since it worked perfectly with 3.0
Annoyed...

UPDATE: Uninstalled the leaked Flash 10.2 and that has fixed the problem, somewhat. Still disconnects, but less.

Wireless issue fixed....
Greetings again,
Even after uninstalling flash, the problem persisted somewhat. I was getting very frustrated and so I reset the xoom to factory settings. A few notes on that. All applications were reinstalled, through the market which is good and bad.
So far, after 2 days of heavy wireless use, not a single drop in wifi connectivity.
Hope this helps...

So far my wireless is great. I use WP2 Secure at home, a WEP at my parents, and a MAC based approval network at work. All are steady with full bars and no issues.
SleeplessNinja
MyXoomChannel http://www.youtube.com/sleeplessninjas

Its the encrypton protocol, WPA2 with AES will cause problems.
TKIP works.

I also have random issues. Some days its just fine, but other days wifi works and then stops working, usually a reboot fixes it.
Must be some wifi issue.

I have a fully factory stock xoom and have had NO wy fy problems at all! internet conection firm and stable. I intend not to root my zoom untill all the important updates are done and stable. I also am waiting for my 4G card install. I have WPA2 with AES and the xoom conected to it with NO problem

I haven't had any problems with mine whatsoever. I think it could be your router. My Xoom stays connected with my router and I haven't had a single problem so far with connected wifi.
My PS3 needs a router reset every single time I want to play Black Ops though.

ihad this issue. I think it may be hioneycomb and not xoom related because I experienced it on the acer iconia. The good news is that I resolved my connection issue with wifi. On the surface it looks like a dhcp handshake issue so, if you assign your xoom a static ip from your router, the issue goes away and all is good.

[Q] Wifi at home issue

Hi Everyone.
I am not a developer nor really tech savy, but I do know how to adjust a few things. Anyways, I just got my Infuse 4G, loving it so far except at my home. I have really fast internet connection and my router is new and is Cisco. My laptop, desktop and tablet all work really well. My infuse though will connect and tells me that it has a really strong wifi connection, but I can't open anything for **** such as a browser or market app. It works fine at work and at any att wifi hot spots.
Can anyone advice me on this? Sometimes though, it works fine but about 85 % of the time at home, I can't open any internet connection although it says that I am connected to wifi.
I am about 5 days close to returning this if this problem can't be resolved.
Any help will be really and greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Probably your router. If it's Linksys-branded Cisco of the "saucer" form factor - find something better. Linksys-branded Cisco hardware sucks these days.
I suggest finding a router that is supported by DD-WRT - I have always been disappointed when running routers with closed-source factory firmware.

I would think that if it works well at work and att hot spots that this would point to ot being an issue with the home router.
Have you tried resetting the router?

resetting meaning turning it off and wait for a few minutes and turning it back on?
No, but if that was the case, my other devices shouldn't work neither no?

Some routers are buggy and don't play well with some devices.
90% of the time it's the router's fault.

[Q] Problem with mobile data browsing

:Fixed: It was a Hyperdrive ROM issue for some reason. Dunno what it was, but I liked the ROMs. Just like browsing the internet more
Posted this on other forums with zero results. Hopefully I can get some help here because my mobile data browsing has become basically un-usable now. I don't even bother getting on the internet unless there is a Wifi connection close by.
I have a Verizon S3 rooted with Hyperdrive RLS14 ROM on it, and out of the blue last week, my internet became ungodly slow. It'll get to the 50% mark, and just stay there for 30-40 seconds before opening the page. Looking at the up and down 4G arrows, they just seem to stop for a while like it isn't asking for data anymore, then it resumes.
It works perfectly on Wifi, and when I do bandwidth tests on mobile data, the dl speeds are slower than normal(8Mbps now vs. 35Mbps before), but still within the acceptable range. I have tried it in multiple large cities, and it still seems to freeze up on websites. I haven't installed any new programs either. I feel like I am trying to look at porn with dial-up internet. Any ideas?
I do have unlimited data and it hasn't ever been throttled on my account.
Things I have tried so far:
new SIM card
3 different browsers; FF, Boat, and Chrome
Scanned for viruses using AVG
rebooting
Fixing permissions via recovery(twice)
Deleting everything off of the phone in recovery mode and re-installing two different versions of ROMs (RLS14 and RLS15)

1) Try a different rom.
2) Odin back to stock.
3) Area service outage/upgrading towers?

1) I have tried both Hyperdrive ROMs a couple of times to no avail. Thing is, it worked fine up until two weeks ago
2) I'll give that a shot later this afternoon, but still no idea why it randomly did this
3) I have a few friends with the Verizon GS3, and they haven't had any problems with internet browsing. It is also happening in two large cities with full 4G coverage
I'd like to figure out why this happened to prevent it next time. Like I said, I didn't do anything different to the phone. It just randomly stopped working.

Bump because this issue is ongoing, and has actually gotten a little worse. I upgraded my baseband to MF1 and it did nothing. In the RLS15 Dev thread, it seems like a few other people are having the exact same issue
Did a bandwidth test in New Orleans earlier and the results were:
ping 122ms
dl 48.41 Mbps
ul 18.07 Mbps
Definitely fast enough, but internet browsing is basically non-existent now. Every other app that uses mobile data works perfectly, just not any internet browsers(Boat, FF, Chrome)

Wifi reception poor and slow connection using Cromni

Hi my first tablet was a xoom.
I've optimized it a lot since I first bought it.
My father has been meaning to get a tablet as well. And so I insisted he buy an older model tablet and save money and still get a great performance since I would "work my magic - all thanks to you guys at xda" to unlock it and install a custom rom for him.
He settled on the TF700.
Ever since we got it we had a bad connection with it. Compared to my xoom its day and night. Sure its a nicer tablet better resolution lighter slimmer. But a tablet with a lowsy wifi connection is rendered pretty useless.
I was pretty confident that installing a custom rom and have it overclocked it would perform better.
With Stock CROMI JB 4.2.1 installed I've noticed improvements... it opens apps quickly and runs smoothly, its only anything involving the internet that doesn't work well..
What can I do? Is it just a lousy wifi chip? is there an app I can get? Would installing the rom onto a microsd help? (Although he would prefer the slot to be free, that's why we opted for the tf700 over say a nexus 10).

If you installed a CROMi rom - that's quite old. You should move to CROMi-X 5.4.
The Wifi connection problem is not related to the rom you're running unless you flashed the WW version although you live in the US....
I've been following the clean roms for more than a year and I can assure you, that is not where the problem is. Everybody having problems with WiFi had them for some other reason.
Approach it from the router side. Reset it, change the channel, try WiFi fixer from the Play Store, turn off WiFi optimization in WiFi settings etc. and try the tablet on a different wifi network.

Okay great thank you, I'll try everything you've suggested and post my result.
He did mention getting better connectivity staying at a hotel...

So I tried everything and not seeing any improvement.
I checked and i always had the 5.4version so I didn't have to change that.
I got WiFi fixer and turned off optimization
Router wise I tried to add device to Mac filter tried to remove fire wall and pass word tried different channel and mixed b/g settings etc.
Tried with a different router as well.
Have yet to try static IP.
Its consistent its just the range. When I,m right next to my router I have no problem. But the range is so small with my Xoom I can be outside and still get reception.
Now I,d like to return it but I can,t un-unlock it and return it to manufacturer.
I,d sell it on swappa but who would want a defective tablet.

Mhhh - I seem to remember someone resolving a wifi connect issue by restricting the router to the n-band???
If you moved up to CROMi-X, try a different kernel or reflash the stock rom and check if it is any better on that.
Have you tried the tablet on any other wifi connection than the one at home?

I am not sure if you have a poor reception or a slow internet speed... If you have a poor reception, you can not do much because of your hardware or a low power of your wifi antenna... If you have a slow internet speed, you could try browser2ram to improve the speed. I found out that the TCP congestion control choice also helps your internet speed with a poor reception. You could try westwood congestion control too see if it helps, good luck...:fingers-crossed:

Well that helped I tried a different kernel and now I have reception about a room farther. Its almost bareable. I'll play around and try the other kernels. I went with the beta one not the extreme version.
Any kernel you might recommend?
At least this gives me hope there are tweaks out there I just have to find them...
I know its not the internet though I have excellent speed tests results. And performance on all my other devices simultaneously
Also does world wide or us SKU make a difference? And how can I tell if my tablet is us vs worldwide?

Ha! That could be it! WW (Europe) uses different wifi modules. If you chose the WW option in the installer and you are in the US or CN (or vice versa), that could make the difference.
sbdags has a kernel installer somewhere (in post 2 I think). Flashing that file allows you to change kernels on the fly without reflashing the whole rom. Although you will have to do that if you did choose the wrong region.
I recommend any of _that's kernels. They are the most stable IMO and give you the best performance unless you want to tweak scheduler, govenor, OC etc yourself.

I am noticing a similar issue. I am use @_that 10 with CROMI 5.4 and I cannot get speed test to do more the 8 Mbps download. My Galaxy S5 pointed at the same speed test server downloads at 30 Mbps. I have Verizon FIOS with a 25/25 connection and their WiFi N router.
I tried changing the IP congestion settings but it did not matter.
Just seems slow. I do not have an issue getting reception just slow speeds in comparison.
Any ideas? Is this speed normal?

It will be fun to troubleshoot the internet speed because there are so many variables that could slow down your speed. It could be the time of day and the internet traffic of the server. However, if it is consistently low comparing with your other devices, then the culprit is your setup on your device, good luck...:fingers-crossed:

WiFi SUPER confusion, help please

Hey Everyone,
I honestly don't know if this is the right place to ask but I don't know where to start, with you, with google, with comcast, or Netgear. Here is the issue.
We have comcast internet and use a comcast approved Netgear N600 dual band cable modem. My wife and I both have Nexus 5 with Android 5.0. We also have laptops, a Roku 3, and PS 4, all hooked up via wifi.
IN the past month, our wifi on phones has gotten unusable. You try to browse a site, and it takes forever, usually a minute (not forever but long) to load the site, and then the site browses at normal speed. However, if you try to navigate to a NEW site, you have the minute load time, before that site browses normally.
The roku, laptops and PS4 all work perfectly via wifi. I did the speedtest net app on my phone, and it had 50 mb download, 13 mb upload via wifi. So connection speeds are perfect.
Its just that initial minute plus wait to actually have a website load each time, that is bizarre. Any thoughts please? Comcast says its the phone. Netgear says its comcast.
Oh, on ANY other wifi network our phones work perfectly. Love help. Thanks!

Have you rebooted the router? Remove power source for 1 minute. Always first thing to try.

Yes, I have rebooted the router. I have also done a hard reset on the router, restoring it to factory defaults, upon which I have to rename our network/set password etc. WHEN I do this, our phones function perfectly for a few hours, then the problem rears its ugly head again.

Certainly sounds like a router issue. Or at least an incompatibility.

How would I look for a compatibility issue? What exactly would I look for, a specification? This router worked fine for the first three months?

Well really what you need to do is troubleshoot by trial and error. If you could perhaps borrow another type of router and run it side-by-side... If it works OK, its a problem with your router and not your phone or Comcast. If it doesn't work, you've ruled out the router and identified an issue either with the phone or Comcast.
---------- Post added at 01:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:52 AM ----------
Also try taking other devices both wireless and wired off the network to see if there are any conflicts. If anything has static IP addresses. Confirm they're not the same.

What part is taking so long? Is it the DNS lookup or the actual data transfer? I would run some nslookup commands from a phone to make sure resolution isn't the problem.

What is the adblock extension? Is that a program that would be on our phones or the router? This only happens with our phones, correct, but also ONLY on our home network. Any other wifi and our phones work great. At the same time, our laptops and ps4/roku work perfectly fine on our home wifi. Here is the breakdown
HOME:
Roku/PS4/Laptops Work Fine
Our 2 Nexus 5 do not
Other Wifi Networks
Phones work fine
For the first few months our phones worked fine on our home network as well. Its only in the past month or so that they started acting funky. Could it be something with Android 5.0?

It could be something to do with anything. Only you can rule things out.

For the first few months our phones worked fine on our home network as well. Its only in the past month or so that they started acting funky. Could it be something with Android 5.0?

AdBlock Plus is a browser extension. It was a long shot but the exact same symptoms were happening to me when I had that installed on my phone's browser. Internet was working fine but websites would need a good 20-40 seconds before they would load.

I'm putting my money on the router since both your and your wife's phones are acting up. One phone, plausible. Two phones, highly unlikely. Have you tried a factory reset on the router? This could literally be anything from having too many neighbors with wireless devices to some weird improbable scenario with some QoS setting on the router. Short of borrowing a router from someone, a reset might help if things were working fine before.
While each possible scenario that could be causing your grief may be unlikely, the vast amount of possibilities just adds complexity to your situation. I mean, I remember when chipsets from different manufacturers wouldn't play nice together back in the 802.11g days...
Since your connection speed is fine, bandwidth wise, try running a traceroute from your phone to, say, Google or any arbitrary site, and see which hop hangs the longest... (Traceroute is like a glorified ping).
Try setting your DNS server to 8.8.8.8 (you can do that on your phone, in WiFi settings).
Try disabling any form of QoS on the router, or any kind of fancy proprietary features.
Try disabling the SIP firewall on your router.
There's many many things and I'm afraid it's going to be trial and error from here. While we can offer suggestions and assistance, the trial and error part is ultimately on you.
