Is anyone else experiencing wifi drop outs since updating to lollipop? I can't stay connected to my wifi for more than 5 minutes without it dropping out. When i go into wifi settings it keeps saying authentication problem even though my password is saved. It will suddenly reconnect when it wants to only to drop the connection again minutes later. Ive tried going into my router settings and switching channels but that did not fix the problem. If anyone else has had this issue did u happen to find a fix for it?

Yes I too have this problem. Wi-fi can be fine for a while then it suddenly drops out and when I try to reconnect to my home router or any other it simply says authenticating then saved but never reconnects. Then randomly it connects when it wants. Tested the connection on my S4 with no problem but Nexus 7 (2013) had great wifi before the Lollipop arrived. Wish I had stayed with Kitkat. Cant find a fix anywhere so now my nexus is as good as useless to me. Very very disappointed Google member! ????
Hm do you guys also have a slower Internet connection after upgrading to lollipop? Somehow my Internet was lot faster on KitKat
I've deffo got a reduced wifi range since updating to Lollipop and it does seem to be a little slower also when data gets flowing
I'm too after lollipop upgrade I have lot of wifi and network connection lost in mobile 3g....
I flashed the kk radio and don't have anymore issues. Yes, kk radio with lollipop works nicely. Seems the issue is the lollipop radio.

The 5.0 factory images don't come with a radio.img, so we're presumably still using the same radio - are you using a cellular nexus?
Isn't WiFi a kernel thing rather than radio? My N10 which is having WiFi issues on Lollipop has no radio

After Lollipop (5.0), I had problems with my wi-fi connecting with my same Netgear N600 router/system I have always used. My phone would see my router both 2.5 and 5 GHz, but I would input my password and my phone would connect for a split second, then disconnect. I was able to connect to other open networks at church, stores, etc. by just inputting the password and would connect and stay connected. The phone also remembered passwords.
This seems to have worked for me:
I have McAfee Mobile Security and turned off web security and wi-fi security temporarily.
From Settings<Wi-Fi click 3 dots upper right corner<add network and manually input the network name<changed security to whatever you are using WEP, WPA/WPA2 PSK, etc< then input password <and save.
I entered the information for my 2.5 GHz and the 5.0 GHz strated working too.
Hope that helps someone.

I will definitely try that if I can get it to turn on. It just sits there for ever saying turning on WiFi and won't actually turn on!

Never used 12 or 13 anyway (still had problem on 11and lower. I use 5g while using the kk radio, I have not tried with lollipop radio. Essentially, let lollipop works with 5g as long as you have the kk radio installed. Thanks for your help, it's really amazing it hasn't been fixed by Google yet.
tried kk radio last night and it was deffo better than the lollipop radio but still got alot of dropouts which never happened on KK, had to turn wifi on and off again to get signal back
Possible solution to wifi speed issue.

Try changing router dns, router wifi channel uninstall Adobe Air and anti virus.
I has having a 30 second delay getting a website to pull up or data access in all apps.
I did a bunch of things all at once so Im not sure which of the 3 fixed it.
I removed Google dns from my router.
Changed my wifi channel from auto (was on 1) to 6. Most of my neighbors were on channel 1. (interferance maybe(.
Removed AVG
Removed Adobe Air.
Yes I should only do one thing at a time but I was getting pissed.
Both my Nexus 5 and Nexus 10 had the same problem. My Nexus 5 worked perfectly fine on LTE though.
So I think it was probably the wifi channel or the dns server settings had gotten messed up somehow and changing these cleared it up.
I'm having the same problem on my Nexus 7. Wifi is slow and drops out every few minutes since I installing Lollipop. I factory reset and flashed the official 5.02 and it didn't help. Wifi was perfect on Kit Kat.
Hello there,
Since yesterday i'm facing an issue with my Wi-fi. (i have a french Freebox Revolution, Wifi 2,4Ghz)
Both my N5 and Moto G 2014 are on Lollipop (5.1 / 5.0.2), and suddenly wifi became slow, i mean REALLY slow. I own an old Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 on custom rom with kitkat, and i have no trouble with my wifi. Same with my samsung tablet.
I tried different wifi channels, reboot, airplane mode, cache cleaning... but nothing seems to work.. i'm pretty sure it's a Lollipop problem as both my Lollipop devices have Wi-Fi trouble.
Anyone else facing the same issue here ?
Thanks
Having the same problem here. LTE network is fast. WiFi is slow to the point of unusable. All other devices on my network are fine. I captured packets off the phone using tpacketcapture last night. I need to review the pcap this morning. I'll post any thoughts.

Problem solved !!
In fact, ipv6 was enabled on my Freebox (Freebox is kind of modem/switch in france) and my internet provider has actually trouble with it.
I disabled ipv6 on the box and now it works. Lollipop use ipv6 by default, so this is perhaps why the problem was only on my lollipop phones.
we
So I tried out the ipv6 disable. Works like a charm.! Great find! Great solution.
I disabled ipv6 on my router. Web and network access is fast like normal.
Not same router. But same problem. Slow WiFi. Lte. Is fast. Other WiFi devices are fine.
Thanks!

Thank you ! worked like a charm, problem solved by deactivating the ipv6 option on the freebox configuration, everything is working fine now.
I can connect to the wifi in my office at work. I can browse the internet with chrome and I can even perform a speed test with the speedtest app. However, I cannot download or update apps from the play store. I can do these things via network data. A co-worker has no problem with her GS6 on the same network. Anyone else having this problem?
Nope. And works fine on other WiFi networks?

Most likely being blocked by firewall or the like but that doesn't explain why your colleague can use fine

Haven't tried any other network yet, but I will this evening. Also need to mention another co-worker got a GS7 yesterday and is experiencing the same problem as me. He didn't mention another network and I realize that will be an important piece of information.
Would a firewall allow me to browse and speedtest?
Mine has the exact same issue. It simply won't use wifi for apps other than Chrome. I tried doing some recovery mode steps I found on another site, but to no avail. I have tried it on my network at work and then my home network and still the same. I am going by the Verizon store tomorrow to hopefully get it resolved, unless someone in this arena knows what to do.
Same here. Got my S7 yesterday and 1. Play store will not download apps on wifi but I can browse surprisingly. 2. It seems my wifi signal is weak. I have tried using both my 5 and my 2.4 off my router. Same issue. Taking it tonwork today to see how it does.
Update, but no solution. I am able to do everything on my home wifi network. However, my office network WILL allow me to browse with chrome, do a speedtest, DOWNLOAD apps from Amazon. It will NOT let me download or update apps from the play store and it will not let me stream from Pandora.
Does this make sense to anyone?
My wifi issue is a bit different. It seems to randomly connect/disconnect me at work, but my home network is fine. Never had an issue before this phone.
I had a similar issue and a reboot of my router fixed it..The issue was most notable when downloading from the market
Maybe we don't go to work. Problem solved. lol
Had the same problem as you guys, found this on another site posted in 2014 by djsusant - worked for me
1. SWITCH OFF YOUR MOBILE DATA.
2. SWITCH ON YOUR WI-FI.
3. SWITCH ON FLIGHT MODE.
4. RESTART YOUR PHONE. (KEEP ACTIVATED FLIGHT MODE & WI-FI)
5. AFTER RESTART DON'T SWITCH OFF FLIGHT MODE.
6. OPEN GOOGLE PLAY. WAIT FOR OPEN.
SEE IT WILL OPEN GOOGLE APPS
7. NOW YOU CAN SWITCH OFF FLIGHT MODE.
Hope that helps

Thanks , I tried that when I got to work. It didn't help. I found out that I can download and stream from amazon music but I cant download or stream from the play store or pandora. I wish I knew more about networking, I'd check the settings on our routers.
Having similar problem on home wifi. I have reset home router. I can download and update if I turn off wifi. With wifi on I can browse with chrome. Have to keep turning wifi on and off to do things.
have the same issue except it will work at the store I purchased at but not at home. Tried every remedy but factory reboot so far. There is a great signal to the phone at home but won't download any apps. Facebook etc seem to come in but I didn't purchase this phone for FB. Any help will be appreciated as Samsung reps have been no help.
Pandora isn't working on mine either, not sure if it's a wifi issue only as service is very poor here (much worse than the old G3, tradeoff for battery I spose) so cannot isolate the cause. Will do later. The steps above didnt fix it.
No Pandora and not being able to read the SD card from cpu will probably be deal breakers for me if they aren't fixed within the 30 day trial. Shame, because there's a lot to like with it.
I can say just one thing - at least on the 802.11n networks the signal reception is much lower than e.g. on Sony Xperia Z3 compact .... that is little disappointing .... I was kinda hoping that brand new super ultra class phone with a/b/g/n/ac modem will have also super ultra good signal reception ...
I have the edge and I'm experiencing similar issues. I've also noticed that backups and even ones through Google photos will not work on wifi.
My previous response seems to be only temporary. Ive been doing the DNSet app and it works. So it looks like something on googles end, hopefully they fix it soon
I bought a GS7 edge and have faced the same issues. Unable to download/update any apps via wifi at home. Using a netgear AC router. All my other devices work fine. I've tried restarting the router. Didn't help. Tried both 2.4 and 5G connections as well. What's weirder is the phone works flawlessly on other wifi networks (school and the best buy store I bought it from when I went back to talk to them about it, it even worked off a tethering connection off the rep's phone)
Try switching wifi secirity from AES to TKIP. It helped me with S6 wifi issues

UPDATE (3/15/16)
So we were able to fix the issue as of last night by changing the advanced settings of the network we were connected to on the phone to static IP. This fixed the google play app issues but oculus apps still wouldn't download. We then turned off enhanced 4G LTE and that seemed to remedy it. Phone as of now works fine, hoping this doesn't cause anything else but will be talking to store reps about this soon.
This issue started yesterday and can't seem to fix. My Note-5 will not connect to my home network despite having the correct credentials; I've rebooted the phone, home router, chose "forget network" to start fresh............will not accept the password................I've wiped cache, just don't want to do a hard/factory reset. Has anyone experienced similar? My son's Galaxy S4 did this awhile back and eventually did a hard reset to fix; although his wouldn't even turn on wifi. All other devices in the house connects to the network with no issues, phone will connect to other networks, just not the home one.
Try not using a password just to see if it can connect or not that way you can eliminate the password problem and narrow the problem down to your router or your phone also are you on stock or custom ROM give us a little more info on your phone setup

Change your SSID of the router (the name of wifi) and see if you can connect to it then. Unless your using the default name that came with the router which you will probably need to know how to change if so. If you do know how thts what i would try first, and if is worth it to leave it changed, otherwise change back and focus on phone as issue. If you do not know how to change ssid you can try these steps from a computer or laptop or anything with a browser that is connected to the router, go to 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 as they are most common and should have login screen which could be admin as user and admin as password. Or admin and netgear or different dependant on the router. If you got from internet provider should be a sticker on bottom or side showing router GUI address and username and password. If not, Google yhe model you have. If it doesnt work and you have not changed it from default reset the router by holding small reset hole for 30 seconds and it should work after. If other things can connct to the router but phone can not its a phone thing unless someone got in router settings or a pc firewall or antivirus denying that specific ip of the phone or mac address. Eset tries to block devices on my network all the time.

By not accepting the password you could verify that the keyboad on the phone is set to US and is what it should be. You could also try WPS if the router has, which should be a small button on the router that looks like a recycling symbol or arrows in a circle. On the phone settings under wifi and choosing more it will show wps push button, click it and it will listen for any routers that have had the wps button pushed and will automatically connect without needing a password
---------- Post added at 08:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 PM ----------
Also if you were successful in using the wps feature take into consideration security issues it offers, in that anybody who is listening for a wps router that is broadcast can automatically connect if they are searching for wps routers, not a huge issue as it is a certain set time frame the connection has to be made but if you live in that crazy world where people devote time to sitting and waiting for those to push that button they will connect to your wifi
stock rom, rooted

Other suggestions...
- manually change/experiment with setting a different channel in wireless settings
A nearby router or other device operating on or near the channel yours is on, it could cause problems.
- like previously mentioned, factory reset, try with NO password
- if a dualband router, try both bands
- update router firmware
Hello, I have an OG Pixel (Pixel 1) and I had been on Google Fi but recently switched to Xfinity Mobile (Verizon MVNO) and can't get the wifi calling to work. Xfinity mobile says that it is activated on their end. It's activated on the phone. I checked the Testing Menu (dial *#*#4636#*#* on dialpad) and Wifi calling is provisioned (it's also grayed out so I can't change it).
So, when I put the phone in airplane mode and try to make a wifi call I get the message, " turn off airplane mode or connect to a wireless network to make a call".
I'm on Android 10. I've gone through this forum and tried the suggestions that others have had with similar problems on Verizon, but can't find anything that works.
Suggestions?
I'm experiencing the exact same issue on Verizon. No matter what I do, i can't place a wifi call. Tried wfc_ims_mode 2, tried reprovisioning, switch to LOS, same issues....
Sorry that i'm no help
I fixed it, but not in the way I had hoped. I ended up doing a factory reset of the phone and after the factory reset the wifi calling started working. The factory reset is a pain because it requires lots of backing up and redoing settings, but I'm glad I was able to finally get it to work.
I've done several factory resets.... Thats why i tried lineage OS. The frustrating part is it just stopped working at one point.... Verizon support also said everything is setup on their end
