Sorry if this has already been covered in another forum.
My wifi on the samsung mesmerize is not working properly, 3G works just fine. I try and go online from my wifi connection it says server problem, if I go to my wifi settings it says it's connected. Help would be much appreciated, I have a very fast internet and would like to take advantage of it, especially considering my psu just blew on the pc! I have pulled 10 mbs on this phone using wifi before. Haven't installed a new app that would prevent anything with the wifi that I'm aware of, just wiped my phone the other day, saturday actually. Again any help would be great.

We're going to need to know what you're currently running.
As far as I know, no one is having issues with Wi-fi on either 2.1 or 2.2
My wifi sometimes won't turn on and I have to reboot to fix it, try that?

Yea if that don't fix it try pulling the battery.
Although since the phone is telling you i'ts connected I'm now thinking this is probably app related...(which a reinstall or reflash may correct)
I also have wifi issues with my fascinate, running froyo. I turn wifi on, and it works until the phone sleeps. Then at some point (seem to be a different amount of time each time) I lose my connection to the net. It still says the wifi is connected (wifi symbol at the top). But if I attempt to use google talk, or pull up a web page I do not have access to the internet. If i turn wifi off, and then right back on, all is well (until the next time it sleeps).
There is an app called wifi keep alive. If i check all the options on that app it helps. I see the issue far less often, but it still happens, and using this app my battery life suffers a little.
Whenever I am connected to wifi, the phone slows down substantially. When unlocking my phone it takes 2 seconds to register and everything stutters. I have reset my phone and cleared everything yet I still have this problem. Anyone else experiencing the same issue? Know a fix?
Never had this problem and haven't seen anyone else post about this problem. Is the entire phone lagging or is it just the UI, browser or certain apps?
I also have the same problem.

How does that help
The phone lags terribly for a couple seconds when you turn on wifi, like when using the power control widget scrolling to another screen is very choppy. Having it not turn off isn't the solution
this happened to me yesterday while trying to wifi download plants vs zombies from amazon. it locked up soo bad I had to pull the battery. Buuuuuut im thinking it was my internet because i was playing MK online as well and my ps3 lost connection at the same time. I hate living in the boonies comcast is garbage

Actually, it IS the solution. The phone has some issue when connecting and obtaining an IP address. If you install a system profiler, you will see that when WiFi is powering up, and when the phone requests an IP from the router, CPU usage goes to 100% on BOTH cores and stay there until the connection is made, then everything settles down.
The reason this "fix" works, is because when your screen goes to sleep, the default behavior is to turn off WiFi, which means when you wake it up, you get that CPU spike again. Setting it to never sleep, means you will only get that spike when the initial connection is made (when you first turn on wifi).
This problem was driving me nuts, but i haven't had an issue since disabling wifi sleep.
The OP I believe is talking about another issue that I experienced recently. For me it starts after the phone has been up for like 2 days or so. Loading a web page is stutterific and slow as well as scrolling, animations. If I turn off Wifi, it works perfectly again on 3G/4G. I think there's a memory leak somewhere or there's some issue that's causing this. I'm going to drop my wifi from 802.11n to 802.11g for a few days to see if that helps. I have my Wifi set to never sleep since the day I bought the phone.

How are you connecting to N? I have a Dual Band router, but my phone can only see the network i have configured for wireless-g, the n network does not show up (it's set to broadcast, etc...) so i can only connect via g to begin with.

BECAUSE I was having the same issue you guys are having and doing that fixed it. Everytime the phone goes into sleep and wakes it will try to reconnect to wifi. Just try it and if it doesn't work for you it doesn't work. But for me, with the same issues, it worked.

Your not alone.
It's because when certain phones connect the internet, many processes start up and that causes lag on certain phones that have a small or old processors
eg. A quad core phone will not lag, as it has more processors threaded, but a single core will lag as it has only one processor to use and therefore will lag when more processes start up.
If you use a different launcher then you may lag less
Hope this helps

I'm here writing on tapatalk and browsing and have noticed that all of a sudden the WiFi will go off, drop out and restart. I hadn't ticked the : best WiFi performance, which drains more battery, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.
I also have he app: power manager and I'm not sure if there is an app doing that to the WiFi.
Anyone else had this issue?
Edit: definitely having this issue. Best performance or going manual on the WiFi Settings seems to have settled it. Hope HTC comes up with an update for it...

I also tested the static rather than the automatic solution for the WiFi, and it tend to drop equally. Only way it doesn't drop seems to be if I use the: use best quality WiFi, which reduces the battery life tremendously!
By the way, this is not happening during te phone's sleep mode, but during normal operation.
sent using HTC1S
Not sure if it's related, but there are definite wifi issues with the one s. Mines completely stock, no power managers etc. It locks onto wifi points that that have always worked well for me (work, home etc.) with my desire and never disconnects. It seems in this mode it uses much more power and even gets a little warm. I can have left home for 4 hours and it still thinks it's connected and then has no data connection. The only solution seems to be to disable and enable wifi again. It doesn't seem to be able to roam from ap to ap without getting stuck on one of them
I think this may be an issue with Android 4.0. I have a Transformer Prime tablet running 4.0 and I get the same thing. WiFi drops out for a few seconds and quickly reconnects. I have noticed that it only happens in the first 12-24 hours after my tablet has been restarted though. After about a day running solid it doesn't happen.
I had a Nexus Running 4.2 and the wifi was great so probably not Android , more radi problem as discussed on other threads
I'm getting mine replaced tomorrow just to see if that will improve things. Unfortunately I was not able to make sure that the handset's serial number

Update.
The WiFi signal on this current phone seems to be spot on. No signal drop with any case on or covering the top of the phone. Signsl doesn't go to sleep along with the phone being on idle and overall really pleased.
I must also add that this new phone seems to have a remarkably better battery life as well. With my usuall use of web, tapatalk, a couple of photos a bit of WiFi, continuous account sync etc, on auto brightness, im at 13:20 and I have the phone on 83% battery when on the previous handset with the WiFi problem I was eating up the battery really fast. Usually I was at about 60% by now

I had exactly the same issue. Since I have changed the "option" / "wifi"/ "settings" / "extended" / "keep WLAN active in standby" = "never" (I don't know the correct terms in English), I haven't seen that problem anymore. I seems that the issue is standby-related, WLAN rescan won't start properly when waking up.
However, I don't think that this issue is related to the issue mentioned by the TO - it's the opposite.
I just noticed this issue when I left for work this morning. I have "Best Wi-Fi Performance" enabled, which was mentioned as a fix in previous posts, but it does not appear to be helping. When I leave for work and get into my office about 5 miles away it still shows as being connected to my home wifi network, when I try to use data like going to a webpage etc, it says "Data Connection Lost". Its like the phone doesnt know how to disconnect from a wifi network. I have the latest update to 1.84.531.2 710RD and still seems to have this issue. Have there been any updates from HTC or T-MO on this issue?
To follow up on this issue, I have called HTC and T-Mobile to find out if it is a known issue. They both told me that they were aware of the issue and that HTC is asking the carriers to report the issues customers are having back up to them. HTC said they are working on a software update that resolves the Wi-Fi disconnect issue. The T-Mobile rep said to have anyone else who is experiencing the issue to either call T-Mobile if they are your carrier so they can report the issue, or call HTC directly.

Been having this issue too. Called up T-Mobile and since I'm still within the 20 day window for return, they are sending me a new device. The girl that helped me didn't even want to talk about the issue or if it's been happening a lot. She didn't even ask if I had tried any trouble shooting. Just sent out new phone with free standard shipping. Works for me I guess, just hope it's hardware related, though I suspect it's software. We will see.

I did a factory reset on my phone and have been having much better luck with the WiFi issue. I think its definitely software related.

Not here. Factory reset was first thing I did (and always do) after applying the latest update.
I just noticed that on my phone as well. If I set it to beat performance the WiFi signal goes crazy. So I uncheck it and it works "normal"

I also disabled best wifi performance and have not noticed the issue since. I dont know if its because of the factory reset or because I have disabled best performance. I have also changed "keep wifi on during sleep" to never and that may have contributed to fixing the problem. I really have no way to tell, and now that it appears to be working correctly, I dont want to mess with it
OK, this issue has been driving me nuts. I work in a metal building pretty far away from a Verizon tower, as soon as I walk into the building I have no service on my phone. I just put my phone in airplane mode, then re-enable the WiFi and Bluetooth to save battery. Since I've gotten the M8, I have missed countless hangouts messages, emails, etc... Nothing comes through unless I open up the app on the phone. I've tried different ROM's, and it does it on every one of them (I'm back to stock now). Does anyone else have this problem, its usually after I let my phone go idle for a few minutes and then it's like it stops polling Google's push services.

Sleep mode under power options? . When you look at battery history during the time it's not working do you see WiFi shut off?
Thanks for trying. Yesterday I swapped my Sim over to my Moto X and took it into work, unfortunately for me it looks like the work network is the culprit. Weird but apparently a new router was put in place around the same time I got the HTC M8. Now to try and figure out how to get it back working.

Nope, this appears to be router related. I brought in my router from home, hooked it up to the network, and viola, notifications work just fine. I work at a small business, they just have 1 wireless router for the entire building hooked directly to the cable modem, then from the router to the main network switch (not a complex system at work here). It's a TP-Link router, and I've looked at the configuration and there's nothing that should be blocking the push notifications. Just makes no sense to me. I've been googling for hours, but haven't come up with a fix.

Seems to me that's what the article linked to is saying. That is it router related. Did you click the link toward the end of the article and read the OP in the thread it links to? There's an alternative fix besides checking the settings in the router. Did you try it?
-
The router causing problems in that thread is also a TP-Link router and the OP was able to fix it.

Is there anyway to stop the hotspot from turning off automatically? When I lose data for any reason with the hotspot on, I get this message: "unable to connect to data network, turning off hotspot".
I have a rooted S6 edge running Renegade ROM 6.0.1 with Xposed framework installed. I searched Xposed for a module but can't find one. I also searched Google and XDA but cannot find an answer.
In general I really find it annoying when the messages pop up at all when turning on or off the hotspot, wifi, etc... I would much prefer to change the settings myself without any intervention by the phone. The main problem I have is when using my phone as a hotspot in my car to play something on my in-dash Android car stereo and I get a phone call or a hit a data deadspot, the hotspot will turn off. I really don't like having to turn it back on after every interruption.
Please let me know if any of you have a solution for this.
Thanks!!!
For some reason, pardon me I'm buzzed. I think it has to do with the s6 not having 2 radios or something. My old HTC m7 handled data and phone and whatnot flawlessly. It had 2 radios. I dunno I'm buzzed I could be wrong
Edit: I just remember being able to tether my hotspot and still take phone calls no issue on my m7. Now it's me getting mad at my girlfriend for calling every 5 seconds when I'm trying to download something.
Edit 2: terrible design idea. Sacrifice the functionality of 2 radios for slim design.. I want data and phone at the same time.
Edit 3: Even now I still talk to someone, "hold on let me look it up....
.
Oh wait, that was my old phone."
OK now I'm angry

I know what you're referring to but this is a little different issue. I know that back on my Galaxy S4 I could have data going at the same time as phone calls, but beginning with the Galaxy S5 they changed it (I believe I read somewhere it had to do with Sprint Spark). However, on the S5 I could still have my hotspot on while taking/making a phone call and the hotspot would remain on just without actual internet data until my phone call was over then data through the internet would resume.
BUT on my S6 Edge the phone actually turns the hotspot off on any phone activity or even losing data for a moment (like driving though a dead zone). I would like my hotspot to remain on whether or not my internet data is happening. It's possible that back on my S5 it was modded as part of a custom ROM but at least it behaved the way I prefer.
I have been looking at both Tasker and Xposed but so far no luck in preventing the hotspot from being turned off.
I hate not being able to change a setting that automatically disables the hotspot when no network is detected. Almost makes it feel like an ifone.
Well maybe not that bad. :laugh:
I've been digging around for a 3rd party app that might alleviate the issue, but wifi apps (or at least working ones, ..I miss the old wifi tether 3.3-beta2) seem few and far between these days. Has anyone had any success with other apps or is it just something we'll have to suffer through for the foreseeable future?
I have a solution that i used that is actually how i got hotspot to work on stock. If you need to know PM me and i will explain. Idk how it came to stop that message but it does allow me to keep it from turning off the hotspot. If it has been 10m though it may do it but that is a good bit of time to get back out of a deadzone too.

I never tried getting it to work on stock, nor have I seen evidence that it could. For me, Rooting is usually step #1 in getting a phone anyhow. The samsung app Good Lock allows toggle control due to being a systemui update. Credit for that discovery goes to pickles.
