Nexus 5 Wifi Problem - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
I got my Nexus 5 yesterday and i am having a problem with the wifi. It connects ok to my home router, however when im using it the wifi signal keeps going up and down all the time. I can see the little symbol in the right hand corner going from full wifi bars ro maybe half every 30 seconds or so. Then it will just drop, and come back on itself after a minute or so.
I have updated the router firmware etc and i have both 1st and 2nd gen nexus 7's, a htc sensation and samsung 4 mini all working fine with the wifi with no issues.
My phone is not rooted its as it was out of the box.
Does this sound like a faulty phone?
Thanks all
Chris

My nexus works fine..however i have had issues with a previous device
in my router settings i had to ensure that Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) was enabled
apparently without this enabled my router could not assign an ip address to my Phone.

Go to your WiFi Advanced settings and make sure your Region Code is set to your region.

Are you running stock ROM and kernel?

Might sound strange but after uninstalling Easy Tether on my PC mine stopped working. I left my drivers on the PC, everything was working but wireless tethering. I reinstalled the program only in my PC and was fine after I reconfigured my network adapters on my PC. I think the connection between USB when the program turns on might help you get it enabled. Good luck.

I've been going back and forth with different roms including stock and it's the same results with all of them, even 3rd party wifi tether programs won't work.
What exactly are you're settings in the settings wireless screen? I had more trouble with this phone and wireless tethering that I've never gain the past.

I am having a similar issue. My G2x will connect wirelessly via tether to my ipad 2 (it takes a few refreshes in safari before it works though), but when i try to connect it to my laptop (windows 7) it connects but will not give internet access...i get that shield as well.
I have the tethering option as part of my tmobile account.
Has anyone figured this out yet?

Yeah, I am a long time customer with T-mobile so the tethering charges don't affect my bill at all.
Also, I was told that if you don't have the tethering on your account it will eventually disconnect you.
Anyway, I just tested it on my girfriend's netbook and it tethered fine over wireless. I guess its something with my laptop although i have no idea waht it could be. Its a new laptop and I have never had any problems connecting to wireless networks before.

I'm positive about it being our laptops but I need to actually know what to do. I'm pretty sure there is a setting that needs to be configured or something but I am not able to find any information online. I guess I'm gonna try tethering via USB and see if after that my computer will actually connect and get swireless signal

Figured it out, you have to troubleshoot the connection twice, if you only do it once all it will do is disconnect.

Sloooow WiFi download speed!

Holy crap! My wifi download speeds are averaging 800kbps, while my Droid X is getting 8mbps. And yes, I am on wifi. Upload speeds are actually a little faster than the X at 2700kbps versus 2200. What gives?

try menu-settings-wireless & networks-wifi settings-hit menu again to pull up the advanced menu. From there I set my wifi sleep policy to never and there is a toggle the best wifi-performance, which I haven't tried yet because I never needed it. Have you tried that yet?
Wifi calling appears to be the culprit. I rebooted the phone and ran speedtest several times and got download speeds of 12-13mbps but once I enabled Wifi calling the dl speeds dropped to ~800kbps and remained there even after force closing Wifi calling. Confirmed! A second reboot gives me my speeds back.
Yeah same here when I restart it I get the speed back up but again after awhile it slows down big time don't know how to fix it
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
I just finished a factory reset and the only app I have installed is speedtest.net. With wifi calling on I cannot reproduce the problem now. I hope the factory reset fixed it but I suspect the problem may be caused by some other app I installed earlier. Google Voice maybe? More investigation...
Nevermind. I installed GV and my download slowed again so then I uninstalled it but the issue was still there. I had just booted up the phone before I was trying this so maybe it just happens over time. Anybody else reproduce this?
Same here, I pretty much can pinpoint the Android market at this point. After freshly restoring my WiFi I get 20k Download/ 5k Upload using speedtest.net app. After visiting the Android market and screwing around in there a bit I get 3k Download/5k Upload every time. Tried with multiple apps it seems to be the market that causes this every time for some reason.
I don't know about the market being the cause. I cycled the wifi off then on again and now my speeds are back. I even opened the Market again once I read your post but my speeds aRe still normal. Maybe you have to download an app from the market over wifi. Checking now.
Yeah I don't think its the market I restarted my phone got the speeds back up then went to market speeds were good then after awhile the speed dropped back down as low as 400kbs compared to the 4 or 5 mbs I got after restarting.

I think I figured it out. I have been playing with my phone for about an hour and a half and I could not get it to slow down until... I plugged it in to charge. I ran a test right after I plugged it in and sure enough it was slow. I then cycled wifi and got my speeds back. Can someone else try this to confirm?
Nevermind. That didnt work the second time I tried it.
Bump. Just got a Sensation today and am having the same issue. Anybody figured a workaround or fix yet?

Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App
Mine can not hang on to a network for nothing, even after enabling "never sleep" policy. Speeds are random: sometimes it's slow, sometimes it's ok.
It looks like it's been a few months since anyone has posted on this problem. I just got my Sensation and am having the same issue. I also have a My Touch 4G Slide and noticed that it did the same thing. But once I went into the Wifi settings and check the max speed box, it solved that issue right away. I tried it on my Sensation with no luck. I have to disable and enable the Wifi in order to get my speed back up. Anyone have any updates/fixes on this problem? Is this a software or hardware issue?

Thanks! Checked my S7E after seeing this, and installing now! Are the changes in performance noticeable? How is palm rejection now?
Edit: Phone has a black screen that reads, "Installing Applications" after it rebuilt ART. The progress bar isn't moving after a few minutes. Is this normal?
I never had any issues with that before. Performance and battery seem great so far. Android System/OS each are using less resources than before too. Very happy so far.

It stayed like this for probably ten minutes, rebooted randomly, then went back to it. I came back to it and it was booted up normally. Weird, but oh well. Palm rejection is crazy! You can set one finger on the edge and use another to swipe around the screen now

Still early to see if I see any difference in battery. I think they just fixed the way battery stats report android os use. Before the update, Android was #1 on the list showing 800+ mah of estimated battery usage. Now it's showing 326 mah usage. Not sure why my android os usage would change after an update on the same charge?? Maybe someone can explain that to me

Things might still be settling in, but I've noticed that my fingerprint scanning times are much quicker and accurate, and the speed/fluidity of the entire OS seems to be much, much smoother. Since the device is still in its infancy, Samsung might have gone to work patching and smoothing out things, working out better resource management, etc. which might be reflected in the battery stats?
I'm still on the original rom, any thoughts on if i should update? Thanks...

If you had hotspot enabled via changing the APN settings prior to this OTA, it will still be enabled after. The OTA leaves the option to edit the APN settings grayed out, but doesn't reset the values. I just confirmed that tethering is still working for me.

Hostpot bypass with latest update APD3

Ok so i got the sprint S7 Edge with the latest update and like most of you know you cant change your APN settings with the latest update. Since I had no idea about this before i took the update I lost the chance of gettinf free hostpot. Now if you changed the APN settings before the update it will stick after you take the update. I found this video of a someone turning hostpot on without the need to change any APN settings but it wasnt in the latest update. I still went ahead and gve it a shoot and it worked. This is are the steps you need to do.
1- Resrtar your device.
2- Once is back up quickly turn on hostpot.
3- If you get the error message try turn it on againg without restarting your phone.
note: I got my hostpot to stick in the second try. The first try got the error message after like 10 seconds so without restarting the phone gave it another shoot and it worked. If the secodn time doesnt work just go ahead and restart and try step 1-3 again. Good luck.

I'm on PG1, and don't have hotspots on my plan, but the feature works without any error messages. I was able to connect my s5 to my s7's hotspot and surf for quite a while. I didn't have to do any mods or change any apn settings.
Just to let everyone know, this still works with September patch PH7.
I can confirm this works on all sprint galaxy roms from s5 to s7edge
If your hotspot shuts off you have it set to time out
Go to configure hotspot and set time out to never i think its 1 hour by default. It will work till you shut it off if you set it to never time out.

What's with this WiFi battery stat?

So I've been using this phone for about 20-24 hours and everything seemed okay until I looked at the battery stats this morning. Wifi topped the list from virtually not being there at all yesterday. The worst part would be the running time, about 17 days ??? when I just took it out of the box yesterday evening. Generally the battery life is surprisingly VERY GOOD... I don't just understand why the Wi-Fi is reading WRONG.
Suggestions on how to correct this?

Lmao yea I think the wifi reading is terribly wrong. Fully charged the phone and it showed the normal readings for a while and then suddenly went showing only WiFi on the readings (no display, android system or anything ?). Doesn't really affect me in anyway so I'll just let it be

Mine is accurate. Not sure why some would be so wrong??? We all should have the same hardware and software. Strange
G4182 here. WIFI usage is not in the list but I used it (via router and direct between 2 phones)...

I'm having the same bug on my Z5 since Nougat update. It's incredible they never fixed it...
Don't know if the screen on time is being correctly reported but the phone very easily outlasts my OP3T

How did you get this? Always wifi on? Mobile data on?

Using the phone yesterday, there was a mix of both WiFi and mobile data. WiFi 90% of the time

Mine has been on WIfi all day and it's not a top battery consumer. Odd behavior indeed. So there is a bug?

Yeah I think the WiFi reading is a bug for some devices like mine. It shows the highest consumption (ridiculously high at that?) and then it says it's been running for DAYS! (like 300 days lol) When the device has only been used for like a day or so. But that doesn't seem to affect the phone in any way though

Here's my top users G8141. Pretty pleased so far.
I have the same problem, did anyone manage to fix this?
I had the same problem a few times...over 600 days once, LOL
But now it is gone? I have not had any wifi battery use statistics at all for several days now.
Maybe the software counters just needed some time to settle in and start counting correctly?
I am not aware of any patch or fix for this and besides I do not allow any updates to install automatically unless Sony sneaked something in??
