I'm having a weird issue that affects both my phone and my wife's. The only thing that we have in common is three we are both on android. She has a G3 on Verizon and I have a Nexus 6 using AT&T.
The problem is that on my home Wi-Fi, the speed is inconsistent. It takes a long time for any data related action (facebook, web browsing, etc.) to respond, when it finally gets response from the network, it loads fine until the next time the internet is queried. This only affects the phones and both of our laptops work without issue. When connected to other Wi-Fi networks, all is fine.
So far, I've updated my firmware, changed settings to lengthen and shorten the preamble, I've changed between the two bandwidths, and removed and readded preferences for media.
I have a Netgear AC1750.
Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Please also let me know if you need any further details.
Installed DD-WRT. All is working beautifully now.

Hi guys
I'm well known for being quite wordy. I'll try to keep it short with this one. Summary: my data stream is interrupted, apps don't get or lose connection.
Network situation:
Signal strength ok up to excellent (~75-90dBm). Technology usually UMTS/HSPA, problem also occurs on GPRS/EDGE though. Happens when stationary but equally when on the move.
Devices affected:
HTC DesireZ, Samsung Galaxy Note, Samsung Galaxy SII, Motorola Defy, HTC Desire HD. Occurred first when I was using the DesireZ but is still happening now on the Galaxy Note.
Issue/problem description:
Despite the steady and good connection to the network and of course an open data connection - we speak of Android - the actual data flow seems to be/get interrupted all the time.
When I hit a window of "data deadness" the browser doesn't load pages, online-apps refuse to work showing a spinning busy/wait indicator and eventually timing out, Maps doesn't load content, Tapatalk throws an error, in short: any online bound activity comes to a halt, despite the connection being "up".
Bad issue: when at some point the timing is really bad, GMail push gets interrupted. Worst issue: GTalk is unable to stay online. Basically whenever I load/bring to foreground GTalk, it has to reconnect. It also loses connection though when in foreground. Wake up the device, GTalk greys out the contact list and first has to reconnect. This can happen after 5 minutes, but also several times within a minute. There is no indication of any interruption or error, data just doesn't flow.
I discussed the issue several times with my providers network engineers, they are unable to help at this point. They observed my device and are happy to report that wherever I was, I had good signal and am usually connected to their HSPA network. No anomalies. The engineer yesterday said they rebooted all antennas around where I am the most, they all rebooted and came back up without any error, so their network seems to be fine, from his perspective. Since it does not only happen to me, but to several friends and relatives, and on several devices, at very different locations (one friend lives 150km away) it must be something they changed in the network. The outages don't happen when connected via WIFI, Talk is rock-solid then, they also don't happen when using another operator. One friend even tested with a pre-pay card from another operator in another country: stable connection, all the time.
So what I'm looking for is some kind of a possibility to collect logs, network data, anything to somehow try to pin down the issue and solve it. It's not like the operator is unwilling to help, he said he is just running out of options. And since it works brilliantly via WIFI, on other operators and did work for years on my operator until last August/September-ish, it must somehow be solvable. It's not the services, it's the network.
Anyone any options or ideas? Maybe an insider which has an idea what it could be?

Does anyone know of a possibility to steadily log network connectivity, data streams/flow, network stability or interruptions? It is turning me crazy and I don't know how to help my network provider help me. Duh...
The signal strength indicator will usually change colors when a internet connection is lost or being established. I believe the default colors are green for connected or grey for disconnected. On Motoblur its blue for connected and white for disconnected so the colors may very.
When it drops is the indicator changing colors or is data just dropping?
...not on Samsung-ROM's. The ability is not implemented in Samsung-ROM's.
I was running Cyanogenmod on a DesireZ, where the indicator is implemented. I also suffered the same problem on the DesireZ. The indicator never changed.
As described above, the data connection to the network is up constantly, indicated by a never-changing G, E, 3G or H+ indicator. Signal levels are good or excellent. There is no feedback by the system or obvious indication that the connection is interrupted. I do notice it only by (online) apps suffering a time-out situation, usually only when actually in use and in front. As for example:
- (mentioned) Talk having to re-sign in when being brought to front all couple minutes.
- (mentioned) GMail losing server-connection and push-capability.
- (mentioned) When trying to browse a page in the browser.
- When pulling up a train table on the public transport app.
- When buying a "mobile-ticket" in the same app, often while verifying my CCard details.
- (mentioned) When browsing various forums with Tapatalk.
- Trying to load videos in YouTube app.
Uuuhm... running out of examples
Hi,
As per the title, I have noticed a couple of strange issues lately. I recently reset my phone and restored the settings (factory reset, Asia spec phone, not mods/hacks).
I have noticed that in my address book I have triple entries for people, some Windows Live entries with the last few letters of the surname chopped off.
Also I have noticed the built-in facebook app is frankly ****, takes ages to update or simply times out.
The browser does the same thing (over wifi) so not sure if it's my connection.
Second issue is the compass/GPS. I have a compass app which now seems to go nuts, it's calibrated but refuses to stay still and I suspect a minor drop may have jarred/damaged something (the phone was thankfully in it's cover so no external damage).
Cheers,
Fz
Those are a lot of things, at least I can comment on the network part:
I own both a Nokia Lumia and a Samsung Omnia W for development purposes. The Nokia always works fine, but the Samsung had a lot of problems connecting over Wifi. It didn't like the Apple Time Capsule, Belkin nor Engenius (the latter being a business grade access point). Symptoms where like yours: Timeouts on connection which could only be resolved temporary by removing the Wifi connection completely and re-adding (by re-typing the WPA2 key).
I was about to give up on this, until in our building a Wifi repeater was added to extend the wifi signal. From then on, the Samsung did connect completely stable. This is strange, because I was nearly always within a few feet from the original access point so a weak signal wasn't the issue here.
I don't know if you can use this info, at least you can try the remove-add of your Wifi network and see if that also solves your issue, albeit temporarily.
So I have had the Galaxy tab 7 plus for a while now and I have had 2 major problems that have bugged me for a while.
First, the wifi seems to cutout. I can connect to my home network prefectly fine, but the wifi will cutout, mostly when surfing the internet. While in the browser, if i go to a couple webpages, eventually i will try to load a page and it will not load. I will get a conectivity issue. The tab still shows that I am connected to the network, and even still shows that it is sending/recieving data. So far, the only thing that I have found that fixes it is to turn wifi off and back on. Then it will work fine for a little while and do the same thing.
I have tried setting up in both static and dynamic and it does the same thing regardless. I have made sure that the firmware is up to date on both the tab adn the router. None of my other devices on the network have the same issue. I have also tried multiple different browsers and still the same issue.
Any ideas?
Second, the screen seems to lockout quite a bit. I will go to turn the screen on and it will not turn on. I have to hold down the power button and reboot the tablet to fix it. There does not eally seem to be a pattern that I can tell. It just randomly happens, a lot!
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
I seem to have those issues two, sometime it won't come out of deep sleep, have to hold the power button to restart. Second the wifi seems to lose it's connection while in standby, even tho it's set not two.

I have had mine for about 6 months and have not experienced any of the issues you are describing. If you have not found others complaining about these same issues, then the problem may be with your specific device. You may want to see what your options are as far as warranties, etc. or maybe someone else on here might have some troubleshooting steps for you. Have you tried contacting Samsung support too? Who knows, they may have some answers for you.
I've had similar wifi issues - have to disable and re-enable wifi in order to continue surfing. It doesn't happen very often. I'm wondering in my case if it's because of all the wifi networks around me. I can typically see 15+ from my neighbors (city neighborhood, houses and apt buildings very close together)
Still having wifi connection issues - anyone else?
The connection gets really slow and then it is lost. I have to disable and re-enable wifi, but that will only get me a couple more minutes before it craps out again. Intetestingly, a few times when it's crapped out and I fired up Wifi Analyzer, the connection sprang back to life while running that app. I've tried many different settings on the router - Allow b/g, allow b/g/n, allow just n, allow g/n... broadcast SSID, don't broadcast SSID, lock the channel down, don't lock it down... frustrating!!! Any ideas out there?
Thanks in advance!
Had not experience the first problem of yours and I have been to a lot of Wi-Fi. Although that second problem occurred to me about 3 times, it's not frequent, but random. I think it's mostly because of the OS. Maybe this problems will be gone once ICS arrives for our device.

If we get ICS !!! Great Hardware! Lousy software (OS) support. My last Samsung mobile product.:crying:
Never experienced this issues. Maybe just random problems with screen unlock but not so major.

As far as I can this is happening with the gaxy tab 2 7",the plus and even with the 7.7. Shame on Samsung,besides this the tab 2 7" has the death grip on the bottom left corner.
After updating to 4.4.4, I've been experiencing horrible wifi problems. The wifi seems to remain connected according to the settings, however, after a short interval the Nexus loses connectivity on all apps. LTE works fine, and switching airplane mode on then off temporarily fixes the issue for a very short period (usually just long enough to load a couple of websites). This problem exists on all wifi networks, and no other device on my home connection has this issue.
Things I've tried:
-Booted into safe mode. Same problem there.
-Forgotten and rejoined network
-Rebooted multiple times
Some notes:
-I'm currently running the ART runtime, however, this issue seems to remain the same on Dalvik.
-My Nexus is brand new and I didn't use 4.4.3 so I have nothing to compare it to in that sense.
This issue is incredibly annoying and makes the device nearly unusable in most scenarios. I'd greatly appreciate any input or suggestions toward fixing this as I'm completely stumped so far.
Hello! I flashed the stock image two days ago, as I was not part of the initial wave. Everything seems to be working great, but with one exception. When connected to wifi, anything that must pull information from the web has major lag. For example, opening facebook (or facebook messenger), or instagram, or twitter. You get the idea. Opening facebook messenger, for instance, takes around 9 seconds to load a conversation.
I did a ping test through my phone, using google.com, and found that it took around 9100 ms.
If I disconnect from wifi, which switches me to LTE, this issue disappears.
Switching from wireless 2.4 ghz to 5 ghz makes no difference.
While I have found bug reports about problems connecting to wifi, I haven't really found anyone with this specific issue. If anyone has any thoughts, I would greatly appreciate them.
Update:
Speed test shows that my wifi connection is running at normal pace. Ping test showed a delay, so I am assuming that is where the problem is. This problem does not occur on any other of my devices using my wlan.
I'm experiencing the same thing, unsure of what's going on. Facebook is so sluggish and everything else I do on the Internet seems to be so slow...
Same for me
I am also having issues with WIFI on Lollipop. I always seem to be connected to the network but when I open apps that use the internet connection, it takes forever to load. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and other mainstream apps are having a real hard time loading images
I am having the same problem.
Weird thing is that I was at a different location today and used the wifi there without any problems. Didn't have time to figure out what was different with their network configuration.
Same problem here.. both on my phone and my wife's. If anyone here hears of a solution... please post back.
Fixed

Actually... I fixed this.. I have a D-Link-655 Router.. I had a firmware from 2012 on it.. I updated to the latest from 2013 and I no longer have problems with wifi-lag on mine or my wife's phones with Lollipop. Something to consider before fussing with IPv6 settings.
