WiFi *profile* keeps getting disabled?

I've noticed that the profile for my home wifi network keeps getting disabled. Usually, I'll leave for a bit, then come back and about half the time it never reconnects. When I go into the wifi list, it's marked as disabled. I enable it and it works fine from that point unless I leave again. It's my understanding a profile will get disabled when it cannot connect to a network for some reason, but clearly it can. My G2 and SGS never have this problem. Is this a setting somewhere? Thanks...

I am having this same issue. I dont know how to fix it

This is more serious than I realized! I just got disconnected randomly even while staying in perfect coverage. Not only does it disconnect, but it DISABLES the connection and won't reconnect again unless I manually tell it to. I rely 100% on WiFi calling while home and now I'm missing all kinds of calls and texts because WiFi is disconnected...
I'm hoping this is just is a software issue that can be resolved pretty quickly, officially or unofficially...

This phone has like 10 legit problems already. Tmobile needs to hurry up with the updates or the refunds will kill them.

It might help if you talk about the router you're using. I have a Netgear N600 and haven't had any Wi-Fi issues either connecting, staying connected, or automatically reconnecting. Bluetooth on the other hand...

It's a Linksys WRT610N. Very modern and very stable router. There's no reason this phone should have any problem with it. I literally have a G2 and SGS sitting side-by-side with the G2x and only the G2x has this problem. The SGS is Froyo and the G2 is Gingerbread. I also have a slew of other wireless (on both 2.4ghz and 5.8ghz bands) and wired clients connected that all have zero issues. I don't know why it would work on one router and not the next...
Are you using WPA2-AES encryption or something else?

Yes. And you're right, the phone is very temperamental across a number of areas.

Did you set up your wifi to never go to sleep? Cause if you havent - it disconnects every time you turn off the screen.
In order to do that, go to Settings=>Wireless & Networks=>Wi-Fi Settings=> click on the "menu" button on your phone=> Advanced=> Wi-Fi sleep policy=> and choose Never.
I did that, and my wifi calling is flawless ... and I rely on it pretty much all the time that I am at home (thanks for that stupid t-mobile signal)

I have the same issue and the setting I have by default to Never go to sleep... Also, has nothing to do with router as any of my other phones have this issue including Nexus One.

Did by any chance any of you with this issue restore some Titanium Back-ups? Because when I restored mine from a back-up of my 1st G2x (exchanged) I also restored the previous wi-fi settings and after that the wi-fi wouldn't work correctly. I did a factory reset and it fixed the problem.
Edit: If all else fails, then try a factory reset. I know it sucks, but it could fix everything.

I'm having issues with this as well. Wifi set to never sleep, I haven't restored any apps. I constantly lose connection. I've tried the factory reset thing etc. and it doesn't help.

I can connect to my wireless g Linksys access point but not my airport extreme ... my Linksys is open my ape is not(I realize I wrote ape LOL)

WiFi seems to be losing dns services
I have the same WiFi problems and while a factory reset clears the problem
temporarily and changing the WiFi sleep setting to never is an immense help
once it's gone off-line I can't get it to come back.
I have noticed that if it has a cached dns lookup to an ip address that that
ip address is still accessible. So if you can get OTA data live, look up google.
Switch to wifi, google is still accessible and you can do queries but you can't
click through on the links because the dns lookup fails.
I've fiddled with killing myaccount, suggested elsewhere, without success.
Unless there is some robust configuration change that pops up soon I suppose
I'll have to return it...

Did you also uninstall market updates and freeze the market updater?
It got mine working again without any problems. Sucks that this has to be done to get wifi to work properly.

I've frozen MyAccount and WiFi calling and it's working at the moment.
Truely I was a little tired and forgot about the market updates until I got
back here.
Insane that one has to do something like this for such a basic feature.
I mean who is going to use the OTA networking when wifi is available?
Let alone the cost issues. I went from 880kbps to 10100kbps going from
OTA to wifi.
This device must have rushed out the door.

Useless at any speed
So I've uninstalled the updates to and FROZEN:
My Account
Market Updater
WiFi Calling
AppPack
and the phone is still trippy. I've discovered also (via the engineering menu)
that the networking ping test fails - "network unreachable". The wifi
data looks good but it doesn't show the current gateway or dns configuration
information.
I'm at a loss for what to try next. Anyone got any suggestions?
Is there something like a netstat android app?

I am having the SAME issue as well as the OP..... =/

wifi recovery
Too soon to say that this is a consistent work-around but I'm
having some short term luck with
rebooting the phone (remove battery) in Airplane mode
enabling wifi
turning airplane mode off
Not sure if the battery pop is necessary. I suspect it's not.
I also suspect that freezing/deinstalling the various updates
is pointless.
Probably the whole work-around is to change the
Wi-Fi sleep policy to never:
settings->wireless & network settings->Wi-Fi settings->advanced
and use the airplane/wifi enable reboot sequence.
If someone has a permanent work-around based on precise setup
sequence and freezing applications I'd like to hear it - I think I've
followed the several posts on this topic and that path is unreliable but
it never hurts to be wrong.

Mine does this and I never restored any system data. I only restored apps.

Strange.
I use WiFi calling at work with no problems. It is a Netgear router. I haven't had problems at home with my Linksys router either.

Wifi connection connected but won't load pages

It said connected in the wifi setting and it shows bars but it just won't load any website in the browser .. anyone got a fix for this?

I have the same issue. Tried different combinations of restarting wifi, turning on/off cell data, on/off wifi calling, etc... all with no result. I've also tried on different networks (both public and private)-- it'd start working for a while and then all of a sudden stop and never work again.
Seems similar to the problem here: forums. t-mobile.c om/t5/T-Mobile-G2x/G2x-WiFi-DNS-issue-not-the-4G-switching-one/m-p/831439 (sorry there's a new user no link restriction)
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

is it specific to the browser or can you not move any data?
Idk, whenever I have had problems connecting to the tmo network, which is a separate issue.. it was always that wifi calling was still on even tho wifi was turned off. Every time I had probs w/ data on tmo network, it's been wifi calling.. Your case seems to be diff tho.
Is it specific to just your network or all other networks? Try shutting off wifi, reboot... then turn it on again? Idk.. just tossing out ideas.

Some found the root cause and I am posting his finding as I do have the same issue and can reproduce the error:
I think I have discovered a new WiFi-related bug in the G2x's software. I have witnessed this occurring on my phone, and have also reproduced it on a store demo unit. I believe it is unrelated to the switching-to-4G problem people are having with the My Account app, since it occurs even if I have set up the Google account on first boot after a factory reset.
The details of the problem are:
- Every so often, the phone randomly gets stuck in a state where it is not able to initiate any new connections that are made using a DNS name. Attempting to navigate to a web site, h**p://w*w.google.c*m for example, will result in a generic failure message.
- However, attempting to connect directly to an IP address instead of a DNS name works perfectly. For example, navigating to 74.125.225.16 will work fine and will load the Google home page.
- When the phone is in this state, using a DNS lookup tool such as "DNS Lookup" from the Marketplace *will* work, even when using the default DNS server address that the DHCP server is giving the phone.
- The problem has occurred for me when data is off and WiFi is on. I do not know if data being off is a requirement, since this is the way I usually run the phone, so this may be coincidental.
- Switching WiFi off and back on again will *sometimes* work to solve the problem, but sometimes will not. When this doesn't work, switching WiFi off, then switching data on, then back off again, and then finally switching WiFi back on again will occasionally correct the problem. However, I have seen situations where none of these things worked, and the only way to get DNS working again was to factory reset the phone.
- I haven't figured out the exact pattern yet, but this issue seems to occur when the phone has been inactive for a certain period of time. I have often discovered that the phone is in this state upon waking up in the morning after leaving the phone on the charger overnight.
- I have, however, found a method to reproduce the problem that seems to work fairly consistently:
1. Turn WiFi on, and data off.
2. Power cycle the phone.
3. When the phone starts up, start the browser and attempt to browse to w*w.google.c*m. It should fail.
4. Try to browse to 74.125.225.16. It should work.
Just wanted to get this issue in the forums to see how many others have been noticing the same thing.

I know that once the device has less than 10% battery it automatically turns the WiFi off to save battery power. Were the devices this was happening on have a low battery?

Fully charged. It even happens when pluged in with the charger.

My Wifi wouldn't even work if I froze it with Bloat Freezer. It has to run in the background for wifi to work. I found that Wifi can get really inconsistent with it disabled.

Same problem here. After about 30 minutes of being idle, as soon as I pick up the phone it tries to connect 2g/4g. The log are saying theres no connection, so it appears that wifi its going to sleep and not waking up so android is trying to connect 2g/4g
Really starting to be a pain
I have frozen the bloat, and I think the problem is getting worse.
Toggle airplane mode is a quick workaround to get wifi to wake up

Same thing happened to me, I did 2 factory resets, and it seems it has been fixed, don't really know what causes it.

This may or may not be related, but...
It looks like I found a hacky fix for the dns/wifi/4g bug: install "Set DNS" from the market.
Now when I go into market, and display my downloaded apps, it jumps from wifi to 4g then back to wifi as it should, fast.
Whether or not it should even do go to 4g is debatable, all I can say is my 2 Galaxy Tabs had the same behavior.
If everyones connectivity issues are really due to the DNS settings getting wiped out, then this will work around the problem until I/we find the location of the actual bug.

Would you guys having this problem also post it here?
http://www.lgforum.com/forum/boards/general/lg/topics/g2x-wifi-problems
Thanks.
I figure the more people that post there, the more the chances are of LG fixing it quickly.

Work around:
enable airplane mode
reboot
enable wifi
wait a few seconds after the wifi connects, background crap stops
disable airplane mode.
The set dns app looks like a winner. Haven't tried it but that's what's
wrong.
The freezing and other suggestions are all useless crap.

Updates...
I did a factory reset and installed JuiceDefender (I don't know which one worked) but it seems to be all fine now... will update if things become problematic again

I've been having this problem as well. I've always been able to fix it by toggling WiFi off and back on again. I downloaded SetDNS and when it happened again last night I tried that and it worked great.
Glad to see it's a software problem and not a hardware problem.

same problem here. hopefully it won't happen in cyanogen mod

This fixed the problem, at least until the next time I reboot my phone

How do you use SetDNS? This software bug in G2X reboots my router (DGL-4500) sometimes.

Question bout SetDNS app
Does the phone have to be rooted to use the setdns app? I try to use it but it says "Cannot get root. App will not function."

WiFi calling won't stay connected, particularly overnight on Pixel 2

Is anyone else having an issue with WiFi calling disconnecting itself, especially overnight? I'm using T-Mobile and when the WiFi calling will stay connected, it works as it should. But often it either won't connect to WiFi calling when reconnecting to my home network, or most often, by the time I get up in the morning, it has fallen off WiFi calling and either has "no service" or is trying to use the virtually non existent T-Mobile signal in my home. I see no indication that it's losing the WiFi connection overnight as it's not reconnecting when I wake the phone up in the morning. I've tried prioritizing the device through my Netgear R7000 router, updating the T-Mobile account settings including the e911 address, making sure my WiFi calling settings on the phone are on and set to WiFi preferred, and rebooting into Safe Mode to make sure a third party app wasn't somehow causing the issue. (The same issue occurred in Safe Mode)
Any ideas?
Thank you all for any assistance you can provide.

Wish I had an idea. All I can tell you is I share in your misery as Wi-Fi Calling is inconsistent for me as well. While it works most of the time, sometimes it’ll drop off for no apparent reason. When it does, I can usually force Wi-Fi Calling to reestablish by putting the phone in and out of airplane mode.
FWIW, I use high-end Wi-Fi gear at home and a custom-built firewall.

Not sure if this applies to you but take a look here:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/10/24/google-inexplicably-removed-keep-wifi-sleep-toggle-pixel-2/

It's been my experience that Google's implementation is poor at best for WiFi calling. Constant disconnects are common and sometimes reboots are the only thing that will get it working again. It's been this way since it's inception on the Nexus devices back in the day.
On other devices such as Samsung and OnePlus WiFi calling just works. But it's always been hit or miss on Nexus/Pixel deives.

Thank you all for chiming on the matter. It does make it a little less maddening to know it's not unique to my particular device or network setup as Google customer service would imply. Their solution was to have me send in my several week old "defective" device and get a refurbished one from them instead. Besides offering no explanation as to what kind of hardware fault could possibly cause this issue, I think it's ridiculous that someone making a warranty claim on a device less than a month old for a manufacturer defect would be sent a used replacement, particularly a device at this price point.
If it helps anyone, I've found if I switch the phone to airplane mode, and turn on WiFi while leaving airplane mode on, WiFi calling has been a bit more stable so far.

Wifi problem in New oxygen os 9.0

When i connect to my wifi i get good speeds for certain time.... Then after a few seconds i get very bad speeds... And then my speeds increases again and so on....
Anyone facing same issue?
Any fixes?

I had this problem too after updating but it seems to have fixed itself. Might help clearing cache from recovery or even factory resetting the phone. Also do you have Magisk or other mods?

I had this issue where if I rebooted I'd get quick speeds for a few seconds (just under 200Mbps) then it would drop to less than 5Mbps from then on. I ended up having to roll back to Android 8 (after wiping cache, resetting network settings, etc.) which has fixed it.

So I am also getting this but I think I know what it is.
At work I have to connect to a wifi network, then log in on a website.
Before the update as soon as I connected to the wifi I'd have no internet access until I signed in.
Now with 9 it continues to use the mobile data even after logging in. I actually have to turn off mobile data for it to switch to wifi. If I don't then I get the issue you all are having. When connected to wifi with mobile data off the speeds are consistent.

I have this exact issue. Sometimes I get my full wifi speed (100 Mbit) and then it drops to 0.5 and keeps on going up and down.

I've been having this same issue on 9.0.2, only on the 5ghz network though. Happens at my house, but not at work.

WiFi & LTE Connection Issues

Hello all!
My wife is running a T-Mobile Note 10+ and having major issues with the WiFi and mobile cell service. She constantly runs into her apps like Netflix and Plex saying she has no connection. She's complained of the WiFi being bad and having to disconnect from it, and then she can use LTE to watch shows, and then sometimes LTE stops working and connecting to WiFi fixes it.
Here's the thing. I finally was able to see it when it was having a fit on the WiFi. Going into the connection settings showed it was connected to our 5GHz WiFi at 7Mbps connection speed. Nothing was loading. This was on a 1300Mbps link. I disconnected from the WiFi and reconnected to it, without moving the phone's location, and voila! It reconnected at 300 something Mbps and everything started working. I believe it may be doing the same with LTE as it cuts out randomly and constantly. I saw it myself while we were driving somewhere and she couldn't load websites. My phone (OnePlus 7 Pro) is on T-Mobile as well and I have NEVER run into these issues. We are on the same provider / plan.
Her phone is fully updated and isn't rooted. I haven't touched it as a tech nerd so it's running as a total consumer as far as settings go (haven't played with APN or wireless radio or anything).
Has anyone else experienced these issues? Does anyone have any ideas to fix this?

Did you try a different wlan access point? Actually i am on the Note 10 with Exynos. Wlan and LTE are working nice for me.
Perhaps your problem is meanwhile solved through an update.

I have the same problem, mainly in LTe but sometimes also in Wifi
ANyone found a workaround ?

i've been having this issue constantly since the march security update. Didn't notice it before but it'll disconnect from my wifi, still recognise it but wont reconnect unless i restart my phone

Same here. Brazil SM-N975F.
