I've noticed that my WiFi connection is unstable regardless of which ROM I'm using. I'm sitting less than 10 feet from my router and the signal is excellent yet my Fuze WiFi won't connect...I can't update 2.1 weather, can't open a page in Opera and IE.
Anyone out there with a solid WiFi connection every time they use it? Which ROM are you on? What are your settings/edits?
I'm desperate to find a solution to this since having a built in WiFi is one of the perks of the Fuze. And I don't want to be held hostage by AT$T ridiculous data plan.
i'm using EnergyRom Jan 27th build 21889. I've never had any problems with wifi for any EnergyRom builds i use. I don't really set anything up, i just turn wifi on, and just enter the WPA passkey and it's done, it's only a one time setup, everytime i turn wifi on it'll automatically connect.
There are tools like Wifi Monster etc that can show you the strength of the wifi signal, as well as tools that gives you options to set up an advanced profile (I think it's called Wifi Profile).......
do a search for Wifi in PPCWarez and you'll find what you need.

Thanks for the reply. I'm also on EnergyRom Jan 27th build 21889....I've actually been an avid follower of NRG Roms but have never had a consistent WiFi connection. I really don't know where I'm going wrong. I've been using the same WiFi for the past 3 years. I didn't have WiFi connection problems with RoMeo's Rom on my Tilt or on my Hermes. Just would like to have a dependable WiFi connection. I'm pretty sure it's not the Rom..just curious if I had things configured properly.
I am also having problems with the Wi-Fi connection on my HTC Touch Pro. It is very unstable and unreliable -it flies for 10-20 seconds, and then hangs. The problem persists with different routers. I am using the stock HTC ROM.
Performance Mode
Hi guys,
have yo tried switching WiFi mode from "Battery Saving" to "Performance"?
Start/Setting/Connections/Wifi icon
The same wi fi problem for me: it recognizes the network, it asks for the pass, but it doesn't connect.
i'm two meters from the router... any suggestion?
Try...
Change your wifi settings to preformance first.
Things that affect WiFi not particular to your phone:
1. Bluetooth on and active (same frequencies) on your phone as well as others
2. Other Routers (esp. if you live in an apartment)
3. Running Microwaves ovens
4. Other RF devices in the 2.4GHz range. (i.e. wireless keyboards, mice, novelty devices, etc.)
The only step to do is change your router at home to another channel and try again. If you are connecting outside your home, then you are at the mercy of the provider.
Having an issue with the Tab 2 where you go to pick it up and start browsing after it has been sitting around a while (not sure if the time matters, but it seems like after sitting for most of the day) and the wifi is still connected, but nothing works than needs data. It acts like it would if you had not internet connection. Toggling the wifi off and on will fix the issue and notificaitons and emails start pouring in.
Anyone else have this problem? I found a similar issue on the 7.7 forums but nobody reported a solution and I am not even sure if it would have worked on the Tab 2 anyways. I am thinking about making a script that toggles the wifi automatically if it detects it can't connect to the internet. But that is a little ridiculous needing to do that. It shouldn't be losing connection in the first place.
Hi Pirate
it's a bit depending on the ROM you have installed - but since Android 4 you have a quite reliable setting. The default behavior of Android devices is to deactivate the wifi connection when it goes to sleep.
Some ROMs don't recognize the disconnection and the switch/button still shows "Wifi on" although disconnected.
First step: go to settings / wifi settings, hit the menu button (top right three dots) and check the advanced settings.
Somewhat like "Keep WLAN active in standby" - set this to always.
That should solve it already under android 4.x
If this doesn't help, look into Play Store - search for "wifi keep alive". But for the SGT 2 you shouldn't need it
Greetz - Chris
It was already set to "Always" so I don't think that will help. I will look at that app to see what it does.

wifi turns off when not in use to save battery. I think it might be a default even if you have it set to always on.

The problem is that it never comes back on. Well it shows the wifi icon and the signal and everything but it just doesn't have any data connection. Any apps that use data act like wifi is off. The only way to get it to start working again is to toggle wifi or reboot. I also forgot to mention it is the stock ROM, only rooted. It got the OTA a few days ago too and it has happened since then.
You're not alone

It's the same effing stuff people suggest to every wifi glitch out there.
To people who think it's due to the wifi sleep policy: although I've set it to always, why would wifi not resume, after screen is turned on? It's not the wifi that gets disconnected, it's the internet (or the download speed) that stops working.
To people who suggest it's a power saving feature under low battery conditions: Sorry, I've tested it while charging and with full battery.
To people with the above two arguments: Connection to some routers works perfect with the phone. Like when I turn on the hotspot on another phone, the wifi works great. Also, wifi on the other phone from the same source (laptop used as internet access point) works well.
To people who suggest resetting the router or wifi on phone: The internet does start working again, but only for a few minutes. Even if the screen is turned on, the internet may stop working mid-download.
The actual situation is that the phone disconnects from the internet, but keeps showing a connection to wifi. Like I used connectify hotspot to create an access point, and after a few minutes, the phone moved from "connected clients" list to the "previously connected clients", even as the phone showed connected to wifi with even the download arrows blinking, but no internet (or download speed). This only happens with certain sources (of wifi). And other phones may work well with the same source.
I have tried (several times and in different orders and permutations) the following to no effect:
1. Resetting the router.
2. Resetting the wifi on laptop.
3. Resetting the wifi on phone.
4. Restarting the phone and laptop.
5. Static IPs, gateways and DNSs. (Even though the problem was not with connecting to wifi and even internet works momentarily after resetting wifi).
6. Turning off items controlling wireless network in wireless connection properties.
7. Turning off firewall.
Waiting for a savior.
I know this isn't super helpful but I had the same bug you describe on the previous version of carbon. When I updated to the latest it seems to have stopped.

Same issue. also using connectify and also tried all things you have described. If you find any solution please let me know.
I had the same problem on my Huawei Honor. You need to set static IP in wifi settings (when connecting to AP, press "show advanced settings").
Mine settings were:
IP adress: 192.168.1.75 (make sure other devices are not connected with this IP)
Gateway: 192.168.1.254 (it could be different. Use the same as you're using to connect to your router)
Network prefix length: 24
DNS 1: 8.8.8.8
DNS 2: 4.4.4.4
No option for static IP in connectify

1. I have had the exact same issue for (atleast) the past 2 years. Have survived by repeatedly turning wifi on and off.
2. I too use connectify. This issue doesnt seem to happen on every wifi connection (just like your case). Even more specifically, it seems to happen ONLY when I connect my phone to the hotspot created via my laptop (connectify).
3. Even when the internet is actually working, some apps do not seem to recognise that(take some time to realize it is working), while others are able to connect instantly. Specifially, whatsapp is unable to send/receive messages for about 1-2 mins, after which I receive a whole bunch of messages at once.
This does not seem to be an issue due to connectify as well. I have tried creating a hotspot from my laptop without using connectify as well, but unfortunately, nothing changed. Further, this does not happen when my phone connects to a hotspot created via connectify by some other pc. The wifi and internet work perfectly fine when connected to a hotspot created via my friends computer.
Further, this problem happens only when a mobile connects to the hotspot. Doesn't occur when another laptop/PC connects (not sure about tablets).
I have looked into every nook and cranny on the internet, explored every forum for any working solution, but have been unsuccessful. In fact, this is the first place where I saw the exact same problem as mine, and was wondering if you have found any solution to it .

I'm having the exact same prob on my ZTE Grand x V 970
It started when i had kitkat and i couldnt even "fix it" restarting the wifi, i had to reset the phone in order to have my wifi work for like 2-5 mins and then stops recieving data, tried to reconnect and stays on turning on wifi.. Now i changed to the stock Rom and the problem is still there but at least now i can "fix it" restarting the wifi connection until certain point.
Issue sharing internet with Connectify from PC
Go to:
Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center
On the left column, click on CHANGE ADAPTER SETTINGS.
You should be in: Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections by now.
Then click on: Microsoft Virtual Miniport Adapter and click on Properties, then click on the 'Configure' button in the 'Networking' tab. From this window, go to the 'Power Management' tab and uncheck 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power'.
This works for me. Try this out
If this doesn't work further, you can try out mHotspot for the same purpose.
I've had the same issue, with the wifi saying it's connected even though it isn't.
This thread is 4 years old and this issue still hasn't been fixed. What a shame.
Same issue here on OnePlus 3 even after factory reset.
I have this same problem after the security patch Mid March to Jan 1, 2019. The WIFI doesn't show in the top status bar, but toggling wifi off/on fixes it till the next overnight. I did make one change to my wireless about that same time and that was moving the min connect speed from 6Mbps to 12Mbps to help with bandwidth issues being cause by devices using low speeds and having several SSID broadcast. My S7 and Tab A both work fine - so I think it was something in the security patch.
Hi all, I'm on unrooted stock and have so far only disabled bloatware and system apps via the stock app manager. I've got a solid wireless network throughout my house with one Linksys WRT54G2 running as a wired gateway (with wireless connections) to my main router, a Linksys/Cisco E3200 (only wireless connections except the gateway). I don't have issues with any other wi-fi enabled hardware, including two tablets running Lollipop and my Note 2 which was running CM 12.1, but with this phone the connection seems to drop after a couple hours of non-use (i.e. - while sleeping overnight or while running around making dinner and taking care of our baby at night). When this happens the phone tells me that I'm still connected to my wireless network but there is no throughput until I cycle the wi-fi on/off in the phone settings and it reconnects.
This happens with wi-fi calling enabled. I have yet to make a successful call with wi-fi calling so I will leave it disabled today but doubtful that will cure my issue. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Other than that I'm loving this phone and was so ready for an upgrade, will probably root before long but will try to keep the stock rom for a bit. TouchWiz still has its quirks but has come a long way over the last few years. Additionally, has anyone been following this thread? I will probably look at something like this in the coming days to increase battery life but for the most part I think all of my needs will be met with the wireless tether APN settings change and software. Thanks
Hello everybody,
I am using an oneplus one running cm-13.0-20160316-SNAPSHOT-ZNH0EAO1QB-bacon and the kernel provided by cyanogen, and I am using xposed. My wifi had been working fine all day but when I went to work and got back I had the following problems: It would connect just fine but there would be an exclamation mark besides the wifi-logo on the statusbar. And inside the wifi-settings there would be text under the wifi I was connected with, stating: Connected, but no internet. This is what I tried up untill now:
-Turning modem/router on and off
-"Rebooting" my TP-link modem using their website
-Switching to cm-nightlies
-Switched to an older lollipop backup
-After that I dirty-flashed the stable cm13 release without installing xposed
I heard some people on the internet saying that there could be a problem with my kernel, but I haven't tried anything with that yet. My worst fear is that it would be a hardware problem related to the fact that I led my phone fall about two months ago. My screen had to be replaced but the sim-tray is still broken. I still need to replace that. Also the grill that is on the top off the top bezel of the phone went off, I think that it's the mic for calls, but I don't know for sure. I am really anxious about this, please help me.
UPDATE;
This seems to be a problem related to my home wifi, because other wifi's work just fine. Too bad that my knowledge in this field is very lacking...
Did you finally find a solution? I have the same problem, only at home and only with my phone (no problem with my computer)...
go into you router settings and change your wireless setting to the following:
wireless channel - 10
wireless mode - 802.11 b/g/n
if the above wireless mode dont work, try the other modes. usually this is set at auto and may confuse wifi on phones
I'm having the exact same problem. WiFi at home works great with PC+Win10, but I can't manage to make it work on the OPO.
It says "connected with no internet" or "connected" but then I can't navigate, and also the device appear as not connected on the router admin page.
WiFi on the OPO works fine at work or other places. I really have no idea why this is happening. I'll try to flash an update.
I have four handheld Android devices and, currently, 3 standalone WAPs plus Verizon's FIOS router.
.
None of the four devices can maintain a connection to any of the standalone WAPs or the router for more than a half-second or so: they solicit the PW, Authenticate, connect briefly, and then drop the connection.
.
I normally have only one WAP, but added the two just to make sure the problem was not in the WAP. Ditto Verizon's router, whose WiFi is normally turned off, but turned on now for troubleshooting.
.
For the life of me, I cannot think of any changes I have made in the week leading up to the onset of this problem.
.
One of the standalone WAPs is an Orbi Mesh system, but currently with no satellites - the satellites having started to act weird with onset of the problem and therefore having been turned off.
.
I also have two instances of AndroidTV running: one on a Sony Bravia TV and the other on an NVIDIA SHIELD box. And, weirdly, both of them are able to hold a WiFi connection - but UNABLE to hold a Ethernet cable connection. Same appearance as the handhelds over WiFi: connection gets dropped, only almost instantly so the screen just kind of vibrates with the connected.
.
If I turn off all standalone WAPs, leaving only the WAP in the Verizon router, the problem persists - with the Verizon router's WAP on channel three and, according to the WiFi Manager Android app, no competing signal sources on channel 3.
.
The problem persists even with the handhelds within 10 feet of the various WAPs.
This started about a week ago. Before that, no problems. And I don't *think* I have changed anything.
Right now, the only thing between me and hiring somebody to troubleshoot the problem is the weirdness of the problem - and the fear that their billing by the hour could cost me too much.
Can anybody point me in some direction?
