WiFi and Network Bars [ORANGE COLOR] - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My WiFi and Network Bars are orange in color and I am not able to use WiFi.
I can access the router using it but no connection with internet is established.
It had happened many time before, but generally a restart fixed it. Now it's not working.
Please help me

The orange indicates that you are not receiving or sending data. You may be connected to the cell network or wifi network but it's not sending or receiving data.

Thanks, I always wondered about this too... although it's never bothered me.

Everything is working fine. My same WiFi is working on other devices.
Other WiFis are working on Nexus too.
Network has full strength

Have you tried reseting the router or forgetting the wifi off the device and then reconnecting.

Yup tried all that!

[Q] LTE + WLAN at same time

Hi,
today I was wondering about that. My N5 still holds a connection to LTE while it uses internet over a WLAN network. Only when I'm getting a call it switches to E/H/3G whatever to build up the phone call. Isn't it wasting battery holding up the LTE connection (LTE needs more power than the rest doesn't it?)?
Do you guys know why its made like this?
Thanks,

Phone calls use data? It should say disconnected. Does it persist after a reboot?

No it doesn't use mobile data. I'm just wondering that its still saying that the network type is LTE, cause when It's connected to a wlan the network usage would only be for phone calls and LTE does only support mobile data but no calls or sms. Just wondering why the network type isn't changing to GPRS or whatever.

Your picture looks normal, this screen shows the data network type, not your cell voice/sms connection. The network is LTE, but is disconnected while you are connected on Wifi.
To see what is happening, look on the status bar. It shows the Wifi icon then the cell signal strength but not LTE. When you disconnect the Wifi, the Wifi icon will disappear and LTE will appear next to the cell signal strength icon. If it is doing that, all is working correctly.

Wifi Connection Problem

Hello All,
I am trying to connect to my work network with no luck! Prior to the one plus one I had a Nexus 5 that connected with no issues. This is what happens:
1. Choose connect (password is saved)
2.The text under the SSID goes from "connecting" back to "saved" in less than a second. The signal bars show 3 then drop to 1.
I've tried forgetting the network, flashing different ROM, kernel, modem with no luck.
Turned off "Avoid poor network connections" and "Wi-Fi optimization:
With the Wifi analyzer app the connection is steady around -60 to -50 dBm. If I try to connect using the wifi analyzer app it just stays on "Authenticating". I know the password is correct, I've re-entered it multiple times.
The wifi network is using the 2.5 ghz band, channel 1, and WPA authentication.
I haven't tried connecting with a static IP, however I might try this next.
Any ideas, this is driving me nuts! Plus all the iPhones around me get to brag!
Thanks in advanced.
I'm having the same problem, and it also seems to stumble connecting to data networks. I have been toggling airplane mode on/off and it then finds the wifi and data networks. This is annoying as hell, when it should auto find and lock any network it has remembered and passwords are correct.
Does anybody have a fix, or is there a radio that can be flashed to correct this?

I'd love to hear any resolutions to this issue as well... I posted this in the oneplus forums recently:
"I am having this problem too with my mom and dad's OPO . But what's funny is that it doesn't happen to my OPO. This sort of rules out any WiFi/router/network issues. Is it possible that certain installed apps on their phones may render the wifi to be unstable (e.g. permission settings for these apps?) Any help from the community is appreciated, thanks... this is an annoying problem for them as it drains out their LTE data!"

is anybody facing Network issue

Hi
is anybody is facing network issue in New Asus 6z
everytime network turned off and turned on automatically.
please help
I do not have any connection issues to the mobile network. Can you check at another location?
OP, try "Mobile data always active" in Developer settings. Also try "Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth".

I have some network problems too on my 2 days old Asus zenfone 6. The signal from mobile network is lost for few seconds and imediatly after the signal of wifi is lost. Does anyone have a solution for that?
No network issue as such.
But mobile network standby battery is twice that of screen battery consumption. Could be both are related
Yes, I am having network issues but I am not sure if its the phone issue or airtel network issues. So waiting to see if it fixes after few days.
I have network issues since updating to the 156 firmware. While having full 4g reception the phone switches to 3g for a few seconds without success and then 2g. It show full 2g reception but everything i try runs into a timeout. Switching to 3g only brings back full 3g connectivity most of the time, switching to flight mode and back does not help. Rebooting the phone does not help. If i just let the phone sit in 2g without a connection it "fixes" itself after 10-15 mins. This happens a few times a day. I have tried using different providers (tmobile and vodafone) but the problem remains.

Wi-Fi problem

Out of the blue my phone started receiving wifi signal very poorly. If I am more than 1-2 meters away from the router the signal is lost. No other devices in the house have this problem so it is not a router problem. Mobile data receiving works fine. I have tried to reset network settings. That didn’t help. The phone used to receive wifi signals good everywhere in the house and when I am out on a café or so.
Anybody experienced same kind of problem and have a solution?
I’m on stock rom with magisk.

Question Wifi calling problem

Hi.
I get wifi calling working fine on my phone, but it just disappears and stops working after a few hours. Rebooting makes it work again.
Anyone else have this problem?

Are you sure it's failing and what do you mean 'stops working'?
Do you try to place a call and it fails because WiFi calling is broken?
Or are you just watching the carrier name change off of WiFi calling? Because your phone will move off of WiFi calling if the signal strength is low enough and the strength of the cellular signal is higher.
The preference switch just dictates which to favor first over the other, it doesn't lock you to WiFi calling only.
Try walking closer to an access point and checking if WiFi calling comes back, that's what it does for me I move from outside with a weak WiFi signal to inside with a strong signal.
If that's the case then you'll need more access points in your house.

Where I am right now there is no cellular (offshore). I can also recreate the problem if I turn flight mode on and off. After I do that I can't do wifi call (the icon/text is gone and calls and texts are not working anymore). Kinda weird behavior tbh. It might be the wifi, but it was stable on my last phone. I can wait till I get home and try that wifi, but it's only here at work I need it

Try disabling MAC address randomization for the access point you are on, it defaults to enabled. It can cause issues if the DHCP lease time is low and your phone gets on and off the network, making it show up as a new device each time.
If it still is having issues then it might just be the network, a grocery store near me has filters and when you get on their guest WiFi you can place a call for a couple seconds before it kills the connection.

Disabling the MAC address randomization did the trick. Been on and stable since I turned it off. Thanks again
A new problem have emerged in this same topic.
Using the same phone, same sim, same wifi, same settings (disabled mac address randomization) the wifi calling won't activate at all now. Any idea what I can do to trouble shoot? Wifi calling is turned on and set to preffered.
