Wifi Issue on 6.0.1 - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After updating my z5p to 6.0.1 a few days ago, I'm having an issue when my device is on wifi. It'll take forever to load pages on chrome or update message on apps such as line or skype. Browsing reddit takes 10-20 seconds to load pages too. If I switch wifi off and use mobile data, everything is instant and fast. Doing the speedtest, my results will take 10 seconds to start and it'll display my normal internet speeds. Anyone know what the issue is? I've tried wiping cache so far, and factory restore too.

Problem has existed for most people since the start and the crappy Sony developers still haven't fixed it.

Unresponsive data connection in Android

I've had this issue with my Nexus S on CM7 for a while now (well I've only had the phone for about a month) but only recently realized it was probably Android or my phone that was the problem.
What happens is I'll be browsing web sites whether it be in the stock browser or Dolphin HD and internet just stops responding. I would open 2-3 sites and after that, nothing else would load. The green loading bar would go about 1/8th of the way and just stops. Eventually, it typically starts working again later on as I usually just give up and go on with my day.
I always figured it was my providers data connection being unreliable but the other day, I set it to wifi and it did the same thing. I would even load the same sites in my iPhone4 side by side with my Nexus S and the iPhone would load the sites just fine while the Nexus just seems stuck.
These other threads seem to have the same issue without being resolved

I rooted and installed CM7 pretty much as soon as I got the phone so it's hard to say whether the issue is with this ROM or what exactly. I also use the TEUV-Trinity kernel by morfic.
I realize this is a fairly broad issue. Was wondering if anyone else as experienced this and if you could help pinpoint the issue, that would be great.
I'll also add that shutting down and removing the battery for a few minutes seems to fix the problem for a while. Browsing is nice and quick afterwards.
Thanks

[Q] Lollipop Connections?

Hey,
I installed 5.0 Lollipop a few days ago, and for the most part I have been happy with all of the changes.
A repeated issue I am having seems to be connecting and syncing.
The Facebook app for example, seems to take a very long time to update. When I deleted a status, on my computer the status had gone as intended, but on my phone it still showed up for over an hour.
On the XDA Premium app, sometimes it says it cannot connect to the server, and when it does - it can take up to 20 seconds to load different sections.
The X Factor UK app didn't load at all.
My emails are taking a long time to come through.
Generally, things are taking longer to connect and refresh and as you can see from the screenshot below, both my WiFi and my Mobile Data speeds are more than acceptable.
I have tried restarting my phone, reinstalling apps, etc...
The install of Lollipop was a complete clean install using the factory images. Installation was smooth and everything else is working perfectly.
I am aware that there is a thread dedicated to apps that don't work, but I thought this thread was still worth creating as it's addressing connection and syncing issues generally.
My Nexus 5 is only a few month's old and everything worked perfectly on 4.4.4.
Anyone else having these issues? I'm not rooted either (just trying to give as much information as possible)

How do I fix my wifi?

I have a Galaxy S5 Verizon.
Starting today, my wifi on my device has been acting stupid.
Whenever I try to browse the internet, it lags. It isnt an issue with my internet or my router because when I run a speedtest on my cellphone, it will take a minute to start but when it does start, i get 11 ms ping 60 down 10 up.
Same with a wired connection on my desktop. Same on my galaxy tab 12.2. They both achieve these speeds. Except they don't take forever to start.
I noticed that when I use wifi on my phone, the wifi download icon is active, but the upload icon isnt. Meaning when I use wifi to browse the net, its able to download data using wifi but it stalls trying to uploading data.
Well because of this, instead of having my normal instant speeds, I have lag. It takes a while for a youtube video to load. It takes a while for a web page to load. WHen i used the app store it took a while for the app images to download and it took a while for an app download to initalize.
I dont know why this is happening. All I know is that for some reason my device is failing to upload data using wifi right away. It always stalls.
Like I said, this just started happening today too.
I didnt do much on my device. The only thing that could possibly have done something is that I used terminal to change my device hostname. I was tired of seeing "android-3478547583gf7348574835" On my router arp table. So I went onto terminal and I did
> su
> getprop net.hostname
> setprop net.hostname <new_hostname>
And then I went onto recovery and wiped my cache.
Thats the only "Technical" thing I've done with my phone today and now for some reason my wifi stalls.
Any ideas?
I wiped the cache again to see if that would fix it. Didnt. Rebooted my phone dozens of times. Did nothing. I dont want to resort to factory resetting but I will if I have to. Im rooted. GS5 on 5.1.1
I shouldnt say its a lag issue since I still get 60 mb download speeds. Its just that the wifi on my phone is failing to initialize a full connection right away

wifi problems after cos 13 update

Updated my phone yesterday, got OTA finally, did factory reset after that, wiped cache but I have two problems when i am on WiFi. First problem is slow loading every picture from various apps (facebook, messenger, instagram, 9gag...), it takes 10-20 seconds for pictures to show, I will include screenshot below.
This is what it looks like in google play, every time I open it takes 10-20 seconds to load all, my connection is not bad, i have 40mbps download and apps are downloading at that speed without problems, only photos loading is slow...
Second problem is that my notifications from messenger, gmail etc are late like few minutes or they appear when I turn screen on / unlock my phone.
Those problems are only on WiFi, not when I am on 3G/4G. I doubt its my router settings because everything was fine yesterday when I was on COS 12.1 and I was on it few months without any problem.
Does anyone had or have problems like this on COS 13 ?
Same thing here. Reverting to cos 12.1 restored speeds but I would like to see if a solution is available

I fixed it by entering IPv6 google public DNS in my router settings, alternative solution is using DNSet application.

Issue with data connection after Android 10 update

Hi everyone,
Ever since I received the stable Android 10 update a few days ago, my data connection has been incredibly unstable. It shows that it's connected to 4G+ with full bars but pages just don't load. it is the same in all apps and browsers.
I have noticed it is worst when I turn the screen on, even if just a couple of minutes have passed since I last used it. And it seems to improve if I force 3G.
I tried turning off the battery saving feature that turns off data when you sleep, but there was no improvement. I tried wiping the cache, but that didn't fix it either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
