[Q] Major WiFi Problems... - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

I just got my 64gb G6 Edge and am experiencing major WiFi issues with the device. My devices wireless will disconnect randomly from a strong signal and I have personally observed it disabling and re-enabling the wireless by itself.
Also once disconnected it no longer sees ANY wireless networks no matter where I go even though it shows the "scanning" circle spinning and I know that there are strong known wireless networks by me. If I manually toggle the WiFi off and then on again, all wireless networks around me are detected again and if any of my known networks are present it will automatically connect. However after a period of time this connection will disconnect and I have to do the process over again.
I have already made sure that 1.) Smart Switch is turned off. 2.) Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep is set to Always. 3.) Always allow scanning is enabled.
I have also tried disabling the WiFi Power Save mode [*#0011# and click on more>>WiFi>>"WIFI Power save mode"] this too resulted in the same behavior.
I've only had this phone for a day and a half, not rooted, already cleared cache partition from stock recovery etc. I haven't tried a factory reset yet (not sure how much good it would do), but at this point is there anything else I should try or is the consensus I need to get my phone swapped out?
**Update** So upon extensive further testing it seems that my wireless issues are caused by issues connecting to the 5GHz band on wireless access points that use bandsteering in that both 2.4GHz and 5GHz use the same SSIDs. This is a MAJOR problem for me as I encountered this at my place of work and rely on wireless heavily not to mention my phone heavily for wireless testing. There are no "Advanced" wireless settings for selecting which band to use either.
I really need some suggestions in order to try and get this problem solved or I may have to switch to a crappier phone just to have functional wireless.

I had something like that happen too, but I only noticed it at home. My home network has both 2.4 and 5GHz using same SSID. I set my phone to use 2.4GHz rather than the deault setting "AUTO", now it seems to work. Shouldn't have to do that though, but maybe my home network isn't setup correctly. This is not device specific though, it happened on my old M8 and now on s6 edge. So it must be on my end.

Unfortunately I have already tried those options, what I am looking for now is the ability to manually select what wifi band 2.4 or 5GHz my phone uses automatically on the phone itself as Apollo stated he was able to do somehow.

I can only imagine he meant router settings because the S6 doesn't show that ability. Sounds like you have to get different SSIDs for your 2.4 and 5 bands.

Sorry guys, I was wrong. I upgraded from M8 to M9 last week. I had to change bands on M9, like on the M8. Didn't like the M9 so swapped out for s6 edge. I did not have to do this on s6 edge!
I had a brain fart..sorry for confusion, it was the M9.

This is what I have found out in my thorough testing on this. The S6 / S6 Edge have issues connecting to AC Wireless networks. Upon connecting the devices wireless connection to and AC Wireless access point or router it will become unstable and disconnect randomly and in my firsthand experience will not re-establish wireless connections at all until WiFi has been manually toggled off and then back on at which point the process I described above will begin again if connecting to any AC Wireless device.
A workaround for the moment for home personal routers is to separate the SSID's if they aren't already for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz and to use the 2.4GHz channel. This won't help however for all the places you cannot change that have AC wireless AP's installed etc. I am continuing to test this device for a while before I return it as I require functional wireless in my day to day job.
This is a huge issue, I contacted Samsung support yesterday about this (You should too) as I have confirmed that this is happening cross platform and carrier, S6 & S6 Edge, Verizon & Sprint that I am aware of so I'm guessing it all of them.

(Solved) please Help WiFi

ok i did a search for WiFi problems everyone else's problem seems slightly different then mine
or not the same in the least
here is my problem
First i have NO data Plan so i turn 3g/4g off
then i Turn on WiFi and it works till i turn it off or reboot the phone
THEN even though it still connects to WiFi and my router says it's connected
i get no data throughput
no amount of resetting, deleting my router profile, rebooting phone, rebooting router, and messing with everything i can find INCLUDING setting my router to OPEN, changing the channel, changing from N to G or B from 40 mhz to 20
NOTHING works
EXCEPT
resetting phone to factory default
then it works again TILL i turn WiFi off or reboot/restart phone
any ideas ?
.
ok you can ignore this it has something to do with turning off the network 2g/3g/4g
I'm not sure what the setting is causing the problem, as I'm still looking into it
I'll post here when i find the setting that is causing the problem
in case it will help someone else
UPDATE:
ok under "Mobile network settings"
you can not turn off "Data enabled" (Enable data access over Mobile network)
why this affects WiFi i do not know as it should ONLY affect 2g/2g/4g
Because it says "Over Mobile network"
but it turns off WiFi data also
If i find anything else that effects WiFi I'll post it here
but for now this is the solution to my problem
PS: it's nice to be able to solve your own problem
PSS: don't call T-Mobile for help they will say you need flex pay or better plan to use WiFi, i hung up on the stupid bass-turd,
not to add to the fact it's super hard to understand their mangled English!
.
i got that problem last night, during my open box and testing the phone, all you have to do is reset the phone, then you are set to go; hope it works for you.
thanks for the reply
i found out what i was doing wrong
and edited my post
so others can not do what i did
thanks for the reply though
Maybe they did this on purpose to keep you from using the device with out a data plan. Who knows.
Has anybody tried to connect to a Time Capsule?? I cannot get my G2X to see my router for nothing. Is the G2X compatible with a N router??

maybe you should open your own thread about this ?
i do not use "Time Capsule" and not sure what it is (A router?)
to answer your last question the G2X supports Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, DLNA, Wi-Fi hotspot. so yes it supports the "N" standard
BUT
might not be compatible with ALL b/g/"N" routers
should be compatible with them all BUT might not be ...........
i am not an expert on routers, so cant say for sure
also could be that your router is to far away from your phone
your phones antenna is tiny, so has to be closer to the router then say a laptop or computer.
you might also want to consider going to a friends house and trying their wireless router.
anyway opening your own thread on this is your best bet

I have an airport extreme broadcasting mixed n/b/g and mine is really struggling. At first I thought it was the browser, but now it's doing it in both dolphin and the stock browser. It stalls a lot, connection seems to stop and restart. I already disabled wifi sleeping on the device. Pretty frustrating. Oh and mine is setup as hidden with no security on it at this time so that isn't the issue.

[Q] Wi-Fi not working. Am I the only one?

Okay, a little about my setup. I have tested on Slim ICS 2.7, 2.9; Codename Android 1.4, 1.5.5; as well as AOKP (I dont know exact builds, but am on the latest now - build 28). I have a Cradlepoint MBR 1000 which is a b/g/n 4g router (though I only have cable hooked up - was bought originally to allow me to broadcast my Clear 4g service, but Clear doesnt work where I live now).
EVO 3D, iPhone 4s, All my laptops, HeroC, Kyocera Echo, Roku...I mean everything connects to my Wi-Fi EXCEPT my NS4G...WTH?
Does anyone else have this issue?...could it be some settings with the N router?...I cant believe everything but this phone works.
Please help. It is so frustrating to be limited to 3g that works intermittently while I am at home. I have all my apps from the Google Play backed up to my sdcard so I dont have to connect to install them...it is a huge pain. Thanks in advance
Need some more description. What settings do you have on the router, how have you tried to connect, does it connect then drop out, can you see the network at all, etc?
Either your phones wifi hardware is gone or your house.
So here's what you can do to narrow down on the problem.
Tell me if you can connect to any other wifi hotspots outside your house. If it does connect then problem is router if it doesn't than problem is with the phone.
Good luck.

Not necessarily. Setup of each router can change in numerous ways so as to stop certain devices from working, as can certain phone settings not allow connecting to certain routers. It is not quite so black and white, and we already know the router works.

Sounds like a channel setting problem. Easiest way is to open up your router config and change the channel between 1 and 12 and this shouldn't happen again. Alternatively you could mess around with your build.prop.
Harbb is right, you might want to test several things within your router:
Change channels (use 1, 6 or 11-12)
Set it to only use on b/g connections (don't use n)
Different authentication methods (WPA2 with AES, etc)
And make sure you don't have a limit on your DHCP settings (just to make sure you don't have a ton of devices connected so it's not handing more IPs) or MAC filter.
Okay, sorry for not replying sooner. I posted this, then went to bed.
@Harbb:
It does see the network, lets me connect, put in the password, and says it is connected. It always says the connection is poor when I know it should be a good connection. The phone then shows the wifi icon and up and down arrows inside of the icon...I never see a portion of blue. When I try to download from the market, it will act like it is working, then the icon will disappear/reappear numerous times before it tell me there is not a connection.
As for my router setup. I do not know what information will help in this but here is some info: I do not have MAC filtering on, WISH is active (dont use it), WPA2 Only Personal AES (this is what I use), Channel 6 (I have tried channel 11 because I read somewhere the Wii needed 1 or 11 or one of my devices needed it), Transmission rate is Best, Channel is Auto 20/40 MHz, Mixed b/g/n (to utilize N and G, it has to be on this setting, there isn't an option for Mixed n/g), it is set on 192.168.0.x, NetBIOS mode type is Mixed (Broadcast then Point to Point).
@shockem I have not tested it with any other hotspot to see if it is just a problem with that router and this phone. I will try if I can find an open hotspot and let you know.
@Billchen0014 It does detect the network and connects, but drops it constantly...I cant even download a <1MB file from the market.
@Harbb (2) Going by your advice to daviki...it looks like I need to check another router. I go by a Starbucks, so I will try their hotspot...unless it isn't free, then Ill look around.
Thanks everyone who is helping me with this.
@Oogway, I will try G only and see what happens...if I use Mixed it has to be g/b or b/g/n. As for DHCP there is only 2 maybe 3 devices connected and No MAC filtering
Could it be the Wifi country code issue?
Is that something on the phone? Also, I tested different channels (1, 6, 11) as well as b/g and g only. Still no go.

Thanks for the info. Test another hotspot (preferably one with a wpa2 password too if possible) and let us know. I'll reply later with some things to try as I gotta get going.
Okay, I did test one more thing. I sat right next to the router and it had full bars. Stayed full and my speed tests were great. Moved to where I sit on the couch about 30 walking steps away and no connection. I know the signal reaches because it is where I use laptops and other devices. The PS3 and Wii are further away and have no issue. It is not a clear path, but there aren't any doors between the router and the couch.
Just some more info...leading me to believe it is an issue with the phone. I get horrible service with Sprint also, so it may be connected. I don't know.
Any ideas? Is it just because of how far away I am?
Again, thanks everyone for the help. It has been so frustrating ever since I got the phone.

Wifi Analyzer can give you a dB reading on the signal strength if you'd like to try that from a distance too. Wifi at uni likes to show low bars quite often, however alot of the time i have great signal and it shows through wifi analyzer. May not be related since uni is a peap connection, but worth a shot anywho. Might give another hint on whether you should seek out warranty or router settings.

Wifi SSID Unavailable

Hey All,
I am currently running AOKP Jelly Bean, and I am having an issue with my WiFi network. When I turn WiFi on on the phone, I see all of my neighbors' SSIDs that my computer sees, however, my SSID doesn't appear at all. I didn't have this issue on stock; the phone would connect when I parked my car outside my place.
I have tried:
1. Manually entering my SSID and connection info. After this it just says the network is out of range.
2. Activating the WPS connection option on the phone and pressing the WPS button on the router.
3. Doing the manual WPS method with the PIN from the phone in the router setup.
4. Changing the WiFi broadcast channels, strength, GHz, and b/g/n.
5. Enabling only the approved MAC addresses to connect to the router.
6. Restarting the router.
Nothing has worked so far. I downloaded WiFi Analyzer on my phone, and my network doesn't show up. If I didn't have two other computers connected, I would think something is wrong with the router. Any suggestions? I would have posted this in the AOKP thread, however I don't yet have permission. Thanks!
I doubt it is your phone because you see your neighbors wi-fi. So I'd power cycle the router (I see you did that once already). And also ensure it's not operating on high band wireless N (5.8 Ghz I think) but sounds like that's not the case because it worked on stock. Are you broadcasting your SSID?

I retried power cycling the router (and modem) this morning with no improvement. Right now it is set to broadcast b/g/n with the channel set to auto and at 2.4 GHz. Also, I am broadcasting my SSID according to the router settings and being able to see it on my MBA and iPad. No luck yet!
Now that I have access to the Development threads, I have gone ahead and posted this in the AOKP Jelly Bean thread. If a moderater sees fit to delete this, I understand. Thanks to all those who took a look!
Are you in the US (or using a US phone)? Reason I ask is that I believe phones here are restricted from certain channels of wi-fi not approved by the FCC. So if you're router is not a US model and were auto-selecting you wouldn't necessarily see it. Might try assigning channel 1 just to eliminate that as a possibility... Although if you are in the US and your router was purchased/leased here then it's not that.

Yep. US phone (T-Mobile) with a D-Link router I bought from Amazon. And it did work when I was on stock with no issues.
When you figure it out please post back what the issue was.

I answered your post in the aokp thread. I'm having an issue where my phone connects to my router but no data is transferred. I just broke out my old belkin g router and problems solved. Yes running 2 routers isn't ideal but it works.

Just in case it helps anyone: if you run two routers on a common band, whether with the same SSID or not, make sure they are not on the same channel or near channels; i.e. channels 1,6, and 11 work well together. (Although six is frequently a default and I assume most people never change it so your neighbors may already have it saturated.)
I believe Veritas327 said in their original post that they already tried G-band - so, mikeyinid, do you think it has more to do with the older hardware rather than the frequency? I'm really just curious at this point...

major WiFi problem

Hi all
I have nexus 5 that has a huge WiFi defect
The WiFi functions in a very funny way
It connects to some routers perfectly fine but to the router I have home it doesn't
Whenever am more than 3m away from the router I loose the internet access if I move even further away I loose the wireless connection
I tried other phones with my router all of them worked perfectly fine
I have tried all the classic ways to resolve this
Airplane mode , forgetting my network,disabling the avoid weak signal and switchinng the WiFi frequency bands
Nothing worked plz help
Check to see if there is an update for your router's firmware. Though it works with other devices, N5 is a wireless AC device and can have compatibility issues with certain routers.
Also as a last ditch effort you can try disabling the mobile data option to see if it helps at all, shouldn't be necessary as this happens automatically but this has been known to help some WiFi issues.
I've given up trying to find a way to improve wireless connection, no ones got a solution.
Not even Google (not that I know of atleast..)
Have you tried rebooting your router? Even though it's working with other devices that can often help.
I have tried rebooting the router I have tried disabling data on my phone
I haven't though tried upgrading the router firmware just simply because I don't know how
I will try to do that and report back if I get lucky
Thnx for the replies

Sony Xperia XZ Premium WiFi issue

Is anyone here also experiencing the same problem with me?
I found that from time to time, my XZ Premium losses WiFi connection and can't find any hotspot until I turn on then turn off airplane mode, or just restart.
Here are the screenshots form my S7 edge (SM-G935F) and XZ Premium, they were next to each other and very close to the router.
Please help me, thank you.

are you using 5G? if you are, you need to update the wifi channel and band through your router settings. that's what i did with mine and now i don't have that intermittent wifi connection anymore.

Anyone found a solution for this?
Wifi was spotty before the Android 8 update but now it's almost unusable. Every now and again it will just stop showing wifi connections, toggling wifi on and off might show a connection or 2 but it will either disappear or just say "Disabled" when trying to connect to it. Reboot solves it for a little while.
Usually use 2.4Ghz wifi with a variety of router brands.

Happens here on Android 8 as well, quite annoying to be honest. Sometimes drops the connection for no reason, and then when I click on WiFi settings, it doesn't show any connections till I turn WiFi on and off and even then it'll only show 1 SSID, turning it off for a while longer and then turning it back on brings back the rest of them and then it'll connect, but it's stupid how I have to keep doing this every few hours.
I set my 2.4 and 5 GHz bands to different names and join only the 5 GHz, and I don't get drops. On Oreo rooted.
i have xperia xz premium with Oreo 8.0 I encounter the same problems when I'm connected to my wifi, suddenly the data connection is blocked, and when this happens I have to turn off and on the wifi symbol to restore the connection. I do not understand why this happens. My phone is updated to the 47.1.A.5.51 system with November google patches. My modem is Billion Bipac 7800N
So it seems to be a common issue, anyone know if Sony is aware of it?
Where can we complain? It's their damn top of the range phone and it's most basic function isn't working right.

Do a Google search for WiFi and Oreo and you will see that this is affecting multiple cell phones.
Do they all have the 835 chip in them???
I think it is an Oreo issue.
I have no such problems and I have Oreo and the 835.
Try disabling IPv6 on your router.
This is still OS/firmware issue but this temporally fix the issue

I found the solution:
My network works with two devices:
1 ZTE Router (2.4GHz)
1 D-LINK Repeater (2.4GHz)
In the router my XZ Premium works nicely, in the repeater happen exactly what you said, Connect apperars "no internet" after 1 second and wifi on Smartphone is automatically disabled or wifi stay enabled, but says "disabled" on network.
So.. I checked the wlan settings of the two devices in my network exhaustively item by item and I changed the devices settings about 20 times, I and I found that none of the settings matters (wpa or wep, 5Ghz or 2.4Ghz, Bandwidth 20Mhz or 40Mhz, type of network b / g / n, nor channel 1 to 13) just ignore this.
What REALLY MATTERS is a option in the advanced wlan settings, called "Fragment Threshold" this value was at 500, I changed it to the maximum (2346) and my XZ Premium started the connection instantly. Explaining: increasing this value defined that the packet can be up to 2346 bytes before being fragmented, so we deactivate packet fragmentation, reducing overhead and ensuring the best transmission rate possible, so this option determines the size of the frame.
Put simply: Go to advanced Wlan settings, locate "Fragment Threshold" and change to the highest possible value. That worked for me =)
worked for me
1- turn off wifi in being wifi settings ie where you view your wifi networks
2- select "scanning settings". it will show once you have turned your wifi off
3- turn off wifi and bluetooth scanning
4- go back turn wifi back on and enjoy

1- turn off wifi in being wifi settings ie where you view your wifi networks
2- select "scanning settings". it will show once you have turned your wifi off
3- turn off wifi and bluetooth scanning
4- go back turn wifi back on and enjoy

Click to collapse
It did not work for me, unfortunately.
I know I am reactivating this thread after nearly 3 years of the last post but did anyone find any effective solution to the Wifi issue?
