Updated to Lollipop and WiFi connects but doesn't work. Great connection to the router, but when I try to pull up my browser or use any apps, it just stalls trying to get a connection. Tried to change frequency and broadcasting channel. Still nothing. Full factory reset, nothing.
I feel your pain. I get constant disconnects and everything is just laggy on WiFi. 4g is fine but WiFi seems really slow and I know it's not my internet. WiFi was blazing on kk 4.44 now I'm lucky to do anything on WiFi. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
When making such a major change as in going up a whole OS revision, you would be LUCKY to have no issues. Only way to go about this and have the best experience is to flash an RUU and start fresh. At the very least you should do a factory reset.
It's akin to Windows. No one who knows what they are doing performs an in place upgrade. It's always best to start anew.

So, before rooting, my One X had great Wifi connection. No issues. Now that I'm rooted, I can't connect to wifi to save my life. I tried the wifi fix (not the ROM, but the 3 files instead) and still nothing.
I've tried turning off Mobile Network while wifi was on, turning mobile network on while wifi was on, tried restarting the wifi....
I cannot get a connection to the Store, browsers won't open webpages, it's essentially done for. Yet every other device in my house can access the router just fine (and it's not just here, it's elsewhere.)
Anyone have any ideas how to fix this short of flashing the new ROM (which I can't do from my house since the HTC drivers always fail to install.)
Have you tried running fix permissions to see if there's some sort of error holding things up? The only other thing I could think to do is to do a factory restore of the phone, unfortunately...
Hi
i'm having some issues with the radio on my Nexus 5, it startet after i upgraded to 5.0.
I did this by first deleting all user data (i use stock fw, no root), then by flashing the factory images with fastboot.
What happens is that wifi keeps disconnecting very often, like every 2-3mins.
if i turn wifi off, the same dropout happens with the mobile network..
I thought this was just a bug that would be fixed in later releases, so i waited.
5.0.1 OTA popped in and did not fix my issue, so i did a factory reset (read that in 5.0.1 android resets more thoroughly).
Still it keeps disconnecting.
now when 5.1 was released i flashed that image (didn't edit the flash-all.bat file so there was another wipe), it still disconnects.
Can anyone help me diagnose this problem (i can try to do a logcat?) can i flash the old radio from 4.4 safely?
is there anyone having the same problem like me?
I don't have quite those symptoms, but I do have a Wi-Fi problem, ever since 5.0. My Wi-Fi connection drops at random times. You can see the drop outs on the battery page, and it just stops whatever network activity was happening at the time. If I'm using Chrome, I know it's going to fail when the progress bar goes to about a cm then stops. If I toggle Wi-Fi off and back on, or sometimes if I simply wait for about 30 seconds, it works again. With 5.0.1, I was using the 4.4.2 radio, which was a lot better, dropping the connection a lot less often. I hoped 5.1 would fix it, and it's better, but it still happens sometimes.

Does this behavior occur on every WiFi network you connect to?

My problem has, though it is worse on some networks. It's worse on my own home router, for example, which is an Asus RT-N66U running Merlin firmware. It happens less often here at work, but it has happened here. Both of these networks are 2.4GHz only. It happens just infrequently enough that I can live with it, but it's annoying.

My N5 WiFi is always rock solid on baseband M8974A-2.0.50.2.22 on 5.02 Euphoria.
I connect regularly to an Asus RT-AC66U router @ 2.4GHz running Merlin . So I doubt its' router related.

Well, i only use wifi at home so i'm not sure.
I've been testing with wifi off at home to rule out wifi, but it keeps disconnecting on mobile network as well.
It doesnt happen during calls, just while browsing etc, using mobile data.
It also keep switching between LTE (with low signal -117dB) and Hsdpa (better signal, -117) so i tried locking it to use only GSM/CDMA, that didn't help either.
Now i tried setting up my old router to try anoteher wifi network, no luck..
Guess i must try kitkat radio, see if that works any better
edit: that didnt work either

I've been trying to isolate this problem forever, and I'm starting to think it is something about my router, after all. Could you possibly post the settings from your Wireless General and Professional tabs in the Merlin firmware?
I now have a perfectly stable phone. Nexus 5 with 5.1.1, rooted, TWRP recovery, Xposed alpha, otherwise stock. I found the source of my Wi-Fi disconnect problems: it was my Belkin WeMo switches! I unplugged them, and I haven't had a disconnect in over a week. I haven't experienced a single other problem with this setup. (knock wood)
Ever since I got Lollipop on my Nexus 5, I have had major wifi issues. The wifi will randomly drop and only come back if i switch wifi on and off. Over the course of 2+ months, this has gotten increasingly aggravating. This happens both at work and at home.
Symptoms: while using my phone, all of a sudden the network stops working. This can be in the form of games, web browsing, or anything else. All of a sudden there is just a network timeout. If I disable wifi, the cellular network has always worked fine (so long as I have reception of course).
Things I have tried:
1. Flashing stock with a full wipe
2. Flashing a CM12 nightly with a full wipe - I just tried CM12 in the hopes that they may have had some form of bugfix. I had the same issues.
3. Setting the phone to 2.4ghz only.
4. Disabling PMF setting in WIFI config file.
5. Downgraded to Kitkat. I just flashed CM11. I havent used it too much yet but it seems like it is having the same issue.
I am at my wit's end. Is there anything else I can try? Please help!
At first CM11 seemed to help, but after using it for longer it is exhibiting the same WIFI issues. Any suggestions? My phone is quickly approaching paperweight territory...
Hi, since the nougat update I got last week, my phone is having problems connecting to Wifi.
It will connect fine, then if I leave the wifi connection I have and go out, when I return it won't connect. It can see the router, but refuses to connect at all. I then have to re-boot and it connects fine (a real pain when wifi calling is essential due to poor signal and I'm hopeless at remembering to reboot when I enter a new wifi zone).
This is happening at both home and work, so I don't think it's caused by the routers. Before the update the wifi connection in both places was absolutly solid. Really frustrated, has anyone got any ideas?
I'm currently "repairing" the software yet again to see if that helps, it's a bog standard non-rooted E6653 on EE
Try doing factory reset.
Yes try a factory reset.
I'm on stock Nougat and no such wifi issues.
However I did experience wifi connection (disconnection) issues on Marshmallow.
Don't restart your phone. Don't do a factory reset.
This is what you should do: Turn on Flight mode, then turn it off again. Wait for a few secs, done!
This saves you for some of the daily pain, while you are awaiting Sony's permanent fix. Unfortunatelly, Sony is persistently refusing to tell you how and when, would you believe it ...
I have exactly the same problem with my Z5, after the latest upgrade. Will try the airplane mode trick and hope that Sony will provide a patch.
I have the same problem. Turn on and off flight mode works.
same problem here
Hello everyone,
me and my wife enjoy our htc U11, but few days ago mine start playing up - wifi have difficulties to connect its doing like on-off-on-off, and after while connect to router, doing same thing at work and home too, and I really can't use any longer wifi hotspot, and phone restart at least once a day, not very happy, but today my wife experienced same problems as I have few days, must say both phones bought in UK from two different companies and different times, both are on stock rom, completely standard phones, I am only using modified camera apk, can anyone give me advice what it could be?, I do not have even Facebook or Twitter account, so can't be related to these apks. Was going to do hard reset tonight, but after my wife told me she got same problems and she use her phone very little, I am not sure if hard reset will resolve problems. I will welcome any help...
Forgot to say we are on 2.33.401.10
Many thanks..

Have you reset the router, checked the network settings are correct (if you use dhcp just reset your router).
If the ssid has spaces or characters/symbols then this can cause issues.
I have personally known routers that use signal binding to run at speeds incompatible with some devices. Especially those with 1gb interfaces. *cough netgear*.. Falling back to a basic setup helps significantly.
A factory reset will probably solve it but you'll lose your data. That is the last ditch effort.
Hi, what is latest update for this rom?, as we can get no ota update, if you point me right direction, will be great, and I will update at least one phone, and see difference. I already reset home router, I reset network setup on phones, wipe cache on both phones, still problems, and even when I am not at home, wifi playing, as I can setup wifi hotspot and I am away from any wifi. Many thanks..
Sorry that was my bad, I forgot I was looking at my m9, not my U11. You are up to date.
My post has been edited. Follow that.
To have the same problem on both phones is very strange indeed. It must be network settings causing the problem unless you have an app running that monitors WiFi in some way..
I, too, have been having WiFi problems all of a sudden. I am not stock, I'm on viper with EAS kernel, but was running it all just fine for a while then without changing anything, I have the same problem.
Still looking for fix, but no luck so far, tonight I reset router just to be sure, but problem is still there, I am sure sooner or later I will find out what is behind this problem.
