Random wifi drop and reconnect Android 6.0.1 - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I'm posting this elsewhere too to cover a greater user base in the hope this is a more widespread issue among us s6 MM users.
This happens with most wifi points and isn't down to signal strength and is random. My phone will freeze briefly which is frustrating enough and normally whilst checking twitter or something then I glance up to see no icon for wifi or data... then 4G appears.. then wifi reconnects. This has certainly come into play since MM.
When I upgraded to 6 I did OTA. Felt it wasn't as fast as it should be and reset. Still not convinced I used Samsung smart switch to wipe clean and flash clean.
Am I alone with this glitch? It happens most days.

Never really had any problems with wifi tbh, I think your possible option is to do a fresh firmware flash through odin.

Have tried a network settings reset so let's see if that helps ?

Hmm it's not so frequent so far but has happened maybe 3 times since I posted this.
Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

It's still happening sadly.. starting the process of moving data off the phone in preparation for a factory reset from settings.
Annoying thing is. This was a clean Samsung smart switch wipe, download and flash! If anything the fault should never error have occurred!
I'll try the reset and see.
Oh and it happens on other wifi AP's too, not just my home router.

Ok all things backed up and reset done last night. I did contrmplate reset on the phone itself but opted to use smart switch again.
Restored my data inc apps and seemingly stable so far... only time will tell...

Still happening but once maybe twice a day...getting annoying now.. can only hope Nougat fixes this damn issue.

This is starting to get on my nerves....just happened and phone rebooted from it....
This is so annoying I'm tempted to use an iPhone 5c until Nougat is released....

Ok.. there might..just might be a break through.. since this I've had virgin tv anywhere crash without the app even being open. So it would prompt saying tv app has stopped working report crash or cancel. So I thought this would be a good idea to have an app clear out including this one. Booted into recovery menu and chose to wipe cache (to keep data!) And touch wood the phone has behaved itself since.....
4 months of pain and annoyance over potentially one app...

Nope...even after removing apps that obtain other ip addresses it still does it.. either it's the android os itself ok my phone that will resolve itself after nougat releases or its hardware. I don't recall this happening on lollipop, only marshmallow.

It's almost as if the phone disconnects like it's ready to sleep...
Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Right... in case others spot this I have switched to the wifi setting that doesn't put the wifi into sleep mode.. I have now chosen the option to keep wifi on (consumes battery) and this seems to have worked so far...
Ive yet to have a crash/freeze since.. lets hope this is it finally!!
Iphone can stay in the cupboard for a while yet !

I had a simular issue. I lost The WiFi connection from time to time. It just lost the connection and reconnected again. The problem was eventually caused by a very crowded WiFi situation.
I placed a WiFi repeater inside my roam and this fixxed the problem.
You should check the WiFi Signal strenght with an App.

i have the same issue on everysingle rom i tried except cyanogen and miui so it an issue on sam software (happens also on j7 2016 )

YouTube "Touch to retry"

After the latest firmware update (176.4.4.1) I have an odd problem with YouTube.
Sometimes, when playing a video, there is a "network error" and a message displayed saying "touch to retry"
It seems to happen randomly but often enough to be annoying.
Clearing data and cache do not fix it
Uninstalling updates does not fix it
Is anyone else getting this error?.
Update:
Thanks to the fantastic contributors to this thread we know the cause of the this error is the latest OTA update from Motorola.
We know that it affects YouTube and the play store.
We know the fix needs to come from Motorola.
Please Post on this thread on the official motorola forum https://forums.motorola.com/posts/fc032e3ef2

I think it is youtube app not motorola. Same thing happens on my moto g AND my lg g2 at random times. Using viral or any other youtube player is ok. If i revert my lg g2 youtube app older version it's ok. As soon as i update app weirdness begins again.

It could be an app thing but I tried revering to an older version of YouTube and had the same issue.
Also I didn't experience this issue before the latest firmware update.
Edit: YouTube updated again. Network error still occurs
Sent from my XT1032 using Tapatalk
Same story here, the lists does not load sometimes, with a retry button on bottom. In-Video touch to retry, takes 4-5 touches to make it work, sometimes more.
Happens on Wi-Fi only, the essid is not hidden.Connection is nearly perfect, all other services work fine, it's the YouTube that has problems (yes YouTube, cos I get same problem on my Xperia.Z).
Youtube update seems to be rolling out that may fix it
Sent from my MyTouch 4G Slide using Tapatalk
I have this same issue on both wifi strong, wifi weak and on Mobile data.
The issue is something to do with the phones data connection and the way the youtube app 'reveals' the problem. On other apps like web browser the page will just 'hang' then reload so you just experience a 'lag' until the data connection is reestablished. The youtube app just goes 'no data sorry' then you keep hitting retry until eventually your phone has reconnected to a data connection and the video loads.
It's very annoying. Before the latest update there was a problem wtih some phones dropping network connection. The latest update included a wireless radio fix to address this.
I 'speculate' that the fix was to make the phone cycle to reconnect to a network more frequently when data is lost. So the phones still drop connections all the time, but reconnect more quickly so it just presents as 'lag' rather than:
'damn my phones not connected to my data network.. better find a network manually'
There is clearly still a radio issue, it took months for the last update to come out to fix it, so don't expect a revision for several months yet ... It could also be to do with battery optimisation made my motorola.... either way it's a bunch of bull****...

Issues after 4.4.3 update

Hello guys
I just finished updating my rooted Nexus 5 to 4.4.3 and it went fine but I immidiately noticed some "problems" when I turned it on. The thing is that my touch screen is not as responsive as before 4.4.3 update. On 4.4.2 scrolling was flowy and smooth like on ice, but on 4.4.3 I got big delay (half cm of emptiness) on scrolling through gesture (apps, home or anything..) and, even worse, when I'm scrolling down my Contacts list it dials randomly due to a lagging. Is there any calibration to be done or that's it?

It doesn't sound normal. Mine is working just as smooth as it was on 4.4.2. Have you tried wiping the phone? Do a factory reset and see.

Go to settings > apps > locate google dialer and clear cache
For battery drain, install an app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats (it's free demo version is available on XDA) or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm
Observe your device for one day after complete charge (90+) and use it.
Using that app, you'll observe the apps/wakelocks which are causing unnecessary battery drain. Eliminate them or post screenshots here so that we can help you to solve battery drain issue.

First thing to do if something is broken after an OTA is factory reset to see if it is an OS bug or whether you have incompatible data and settings.
It sounds like it would be a pain to do, but you can easily backup with helium nowadays so it needn't be

GPS not Working
Has anyone else noticed if their GPS is working or not? I was trying to use mine last night and I can see that GPS connects and it brings up the map but then never navigates or even moves from the starting point on the map. Can someone let me know if this is a new problem??? I flashed the N5_4.4.3.zip file that someone pointed me to, as I had asked for a flashable zip file to update to 4.4.3 as I still have not gotten an ota notification from T-Mobile:confused
i have a question also,
what if i like the current mono toned google dialer?
when i get this update & it updates the dialer, is it possible to un-install the dialer update to revert back to the older dialer?

[Q] Nexus 5 WiFi issue

Hello everyone.
So, the wifi problem on my N5 goes back some time ago; it happened for the first time about 2 weeks after i got it, middle november i'd say:
i always keep my wifi connected while at home and sometimes it just refuses to send data anymore. The signal bar doesn't drop, but the data just stops working. I don't remember what i did the first time it happened, but it just started working as intented after a few days.(I was on 4.4.4 back then).
Now I'm on 5.0.1 and it had been working right for some time, until 2 days ago i unplugged my router then plugged it back it. Later that day I noticed the issue is back. I have absolutely no idea what to do about it and it is irritating as hell.
Did any of you guys experience this before? If so, how did you fix it?
Also, is it possible that this is a driver issue on the phone side? All my other devices work just fine on wireless.
Thanks!

you may also try forgetting your network and re-logging back in. also check the wifi frequency band and of course rebooting your router can’t hurt.

I tried all that but with no success. I think the router might be the issue since it does have some glitches where it loses connectivity and it fixes after a reboot. I'll try with another router and report after.

I have done a full factory reset on my phone due to this issue, and it still happens. It doesn't just happen at home either, it happens everywhere I go. I am assuming at this point that it is a bug in 5.0/5.0.1 and hopefully it will be fixed in 5.0.2 (if the N5 ever see's this update).
If anyone has had any luck with this bug, please let me know.
I'm having the same issues. I'm now on my 4th router in as many months and I can't figure this out after testing just about every possible configuration of channels, frequencies and settings. We have about 10 devices connected in my home and the Nexus 5 is the only device with this problem. I'm at the point now that I just use LTE at home.
Yeah it's a 5.0.1 issue, if you've found your way to XDA you should try a custom ROM. Most are branched from the aosp 5.0.2 commits.

Did Lollipop rid the wifi options of "wifi optimization" and "avoid poor connections?" I used to keep those options unchecked for a more stable wifi connection.

But I had this same problem on 4.4.4 for a little while, that's why I was inclined to think it was something to do with my router.

[Q] Data once lost wont re-connect

i am currently using Resurrection Remix 5.0.2 but was using cm12 nightlys before. The problem is that
the data connection is good but once i loose the connection there is an exclamation mark next to the
signal bar so i presume thats the data lost. It then wont connect again untill i reboot the phone.I have tried
switching on and off data but still no joy..This never happened on kitkat. I thought the problem was CM
related hence why i tried the RR rom but exactly the same is happening. Someone sugested that it could be
the sim card but im not so sure as it works fine before lollipop.I surely can't be the only one experiencing
this? but by the same token i can't find any info on it either ..maybe says something!!
Hope someone can help as i want to stay on lollipop i do like it, maybe the official release will sort it out.

It's a ROM issue (radio.img). I was facing same problem on earlier builds of BlissPop ROM, but not no issues..
If you are getting exclamation mark in 2 or more ROMs, then there is problem with your sim-card or the network operator.
I suggest you to contact your concerned network operator and take his help for the same. (If you are facing same issue on 2 or more ROMs, try out Stock ROM CM11s)
Thank you for your reply, so would it be possible to flash a modem from kitkat or would there be compatibility issues with that?

So here is the latest update. I replaced the sim card on Saturday, the problem is is still there. I checked me APN settings they are three UK so that's ok. I've tried cm12,resurrection, blispop and now I'm on sabermod. I'm thinking this oneplus doesn't like lollipop, looks like I will have to revert to kitkat for just now until the official release comes out but I can't see that fixing the problem either as I don't seem to see anyone else with this problem.

I'm also with Three and have lost my data connection. They replaced the sim on Tuesday and I'm sure it worked until the old number swapped to the new sim. I have a 321 simcard on order and I'll try that once it arrives. My phone is still running Kitkat.
I had no problems with kitkat, if it lost the connection it automatically connected again when I was back in an area with a signal. But this has got me beat, a new sim card and too many roms to count but still the same problem. I am a lorry driver and cover the whole of Scotland and signal is patchy at best and it's annoying to find out later on in the day that data was off and you didn't receive any messages or emails.. Some of them important..

I have exactly the same problem.
I'm from Spain.
I've discovered that if i set network type to LTE it seems to work right.
Today I've moved from blisspop to temasek.
The 3g reconnect doesn't work, as always.
I turn data and wifi off when I sleep so tomorrow I will confirm if LTE works also with temasek.
my connection has always been set on LTE but never makes any difference
At the weekend I installed the official OxygenOs, I have been driving all day and had to reboot the phone 4 times because of this problem, I did half wish that when an official release came it would maybe sort out the problem but no joy. So I can only think it's to do with the oneplus. I'm at a loss now and seriously don't want to go back to kitkat but it looks like this will be the only solution to the problem..

I've tested this night again and if I set network to LTE.
The test I've done is.
- Turn off data and wifi before to sleep.
- Turn off only data when I woke up.
The connection was successful almost inmediately.
Greetings. I ran into similar issue with the CM12s update.
Once I lose the mobile signal for whatever reason, the data connection is not restored. Only way to regain it, is by restarting the phone (haven't tested airplane mode). Sometimes even if I leave WiFi on for long time (overnight), I will not have data connection after turning off the WiFi. I use HSPA connection only, not LTE.
I can not recall having this issue on KitKat. Issue was on the first CM12s update and remains on the second one, both were installed clean, so clean install of the ROM will not fix it. I am not using any custom ROMs or kernels, only TWRP recovery.
Has anyone had such issue and maybe found a solution to this?

Well decided to a bit of searching, if you go into Settings -> Mobile Network Settings -> Network Operators and manually choose the network rather than the Auto Search option, it seems to have worked for me for the time being.
I am on the same boat as OP. The problems started after updating to Lollipop.
If anyone has found a solution, please let me know. I read about someone installing a 44S modem, but I'm unsure if this will permanently change system files (I wouldn't want it to) and I'm therefore hesitant.

Bluetooth disconnecting?

I have an android wear watch. G watch R. Never had any issues with it. Since getting S6 the phone will occasionally disconnect for a short while and the reconnect. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing Bluetooth issues?

I have an android wear watch. G watch R. Never had any issues with it. Since getting S6 the phone will occasionally disconnect for a short while and the reconnect. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing Bluetooth issues?

glad its not just me but sorry you are having issues. I think the Bluetooth is weaker on this phone.
it is really annoying. My watch spends more time disconnected than connected!!

Actually, both the wifi and bluetooth is bugged and keep scanning nearly all times and battery draining quick. I guess some may also experienced wifi and bluetooth disconnection because of this.
My Pebble loses its pairing to my S6 occasionally. Very annoying. Hopefully its fixed in the next firmware update for the S6.
Had the same issue since I got the phone early April.
I was really loving my G Watch R until the S6 has totally ruined the experience. Worked perfectly with my HTC M8.
I know there's a minor update coming v soon which supposedly fixes the messed up RAM management issue. Hopefully it'll fix this incredibly poor Bluetooth issue too. I'm actually surprised a flagship phone got through quality control without them noticing bluetooth and ram management are so badly screwed up.
If they don't fix it, then I'll be even more annoyed if it's true that LG won't enable the wifi on the watch.
Just got the G925FXXU1AOE3 update om my GSM S6 Edge (SM-G925F).
One of the things listed was an improvement in connectivity with accessories so I'm hoping this will be resolved now! So far so good.

Didn't fix sh** on my watch. The first few hours was a false dawn. I have the phone on a desk next to my laptop and within 10cm of my watch and it keeps randomly disconnecting and reconnecting.
Sometimes the phone just will not reconnect and the only way I can reconnect is by turning bluetooth off and back on.
Totally ruined my experience of my watch. Feel like just taking it off now as it's become useless, hoping the latest Android Wear update whenever it comes for the G Watch R may fix the issue but that's wishful thinking as I'm convinced it's a Samsung issue as I had zero issues on my M8.
I use my S6 and my Gear S all the time, never have any issues.
My Tmobile S6 has started doing this again. It did it about a month ago so I did a factory reset which cured it, until yesterday. Now its started again, seemingly out of the blue. Nothing has changed for anything, yet its doing it again. Anyone find a real cure for this? On 5.1.1.
My AT&T S6 still has this issue, any know how to resolve this issue???
I use a moto360 (1st gen). Same issue. Only solution that works for me is a reboot of the phone. The disconnects happen on all my devices, so my car (2015 mercedes) and heartrate monitor (Scosche) have disconnects as well. Therefore this has to be a problem with the S6 itself. Maybe it's not very happy with a 24x7 connection with the watch, as this issue seems to only/mostly affect Android Wear users.
I wish there was an autoreboot app that could reboot the phone every night.
