Maximum WiFi connections error - Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since the last weeks I have been having a problem with my Moto G3.
When connected to a wifi spot at some point seems that apps stop connecting, and the only way to solve it is closing apps (with a utility like "Greenify", for example) and after that all is normal again; so I open some apps and at some point the wifi is blocked again and I have to kill the opened processes, and then I can use wifi again... and once and again the same.
Is someone else having this problem?

That's a new one... is this always the same WiFi network you are connecting to, or does the phone exhibit this behavior on multiple networks?

it happens with any wifi I connect to. This issue started some weeks ago, but I can't figure it out the reason... everything was working fine.
I've reflashed the firmware and problem remains... so I thought it could be an app doing this, but tried with just my common used apps and stills the same.
The weirdest part is that it starts exactly the same week I accomplish a year with my cellphone

at the end I couldn't resolve it... so I flashed a CFw.
by the way, Cyanogenmod 13 is great!

Captivate WiFi issue?

My captivate has a problem. It'll connect to WiFi no problem. Unfortunatly, after a while (could be anywhere from long 30 seconds to a few minutes) the WiFi stops sending data. I have to disable/reenable wifi to get it to work again. It still says connected to network, it just won't receive data.
Anyone know of this happening, have a fix, or maybe what I should look for that might be causing this issue?
I disabled recently installed running apps, no help.
I did try a speedfix last night, and it was unsuccessful, and I uninstalled it. Didn't test enough after that to know for sure if it was the issue, but I don't think so.
It was like, I was going through google reader, started a youtube vid, paused it, restarted it, and it wasn't loading. Just wouldn't load. That's when I think the problem started, and I haven't installed anything since then, that i haven't disabled/uninstalled.
Have you tried flashing the stock OS. Maybe this will help. My wifi has been solid so far but i will see if i get a problem like yours. Try reflashing. If it doesn't work post back.

I have the exact same issue on enterprise class cisco wifi APs. The only difference is the symptom is immediate, and not after an interval of time.

I'm thinking of this, but I don't know...
I have my music on my computer, I have my .apk's in a folder and my market synced with appbrain. Anything else I need to do? Will appbrain reset, and make me go find and reinstall everything?
What about the apps that I paid for, what happens to them?
Would be my first flash, and I'm thinking about flashing one of those I9000 roms, but that would be a last ditch effort. I really hope to avoid this.

It's an AT&T U-verse router, and only started a few hours ago, as near as I can tell.
I experience the same phenomenon of dropped wifi, and it occurs at any AP, but I have an interesting twist.
One time out of twenty when I start wifi, the 3g icon doesn't go away, but stays up on the status line with my wifi icon. On those rare occasions, my wifi stays solid for days. Unfortunately, it's random and rare.
same issue
My Wifi stops sending data and the 3G still shows. Sometimes restarting the router helps and sometimes nothing helps.
For anyone that might find this later, turns out (after two rom flashes) it was the router. I found this out when connecting my laptop to it. Surprised the captivate didn't admit it lost connection though.
I wish that were the case for me. My Captivate stays connected, but stops receiving at many different APs--Home, Starbucks, airport. I need a solution or a Scotch.

I had this exact problem, I tried a factory reset and it was still broken. I exchanged my phone and now it works perfectly holding a signal (except for enterprise 802.1x ap's which are known to be broken). (Also if you run dd-wrt check your logs for "deauthenticated due to local deauth", there is a problem with the wpa/wpa2 modules in either android or dd-wrt that they are not compatible with each other).
I actually found this searching for a solution to my own issue with WiFi. I actually fixed it while I was reading this. Unfortunately I have AT&T DSL with 2wire Modem. I went into the setting and setup MAC filtering and assigned it it's own IP. It has worked flawlessly for the past hour. I know this probably will not help when at other locations but at least at home I have a good connection.

Same router type as mine that lost it originally. Interesting, wonder if there is a connection? Or random coincidence.
I'm having a wifi issue as well, but not to the extent others have.
I connect fine, but it appears as though my data download speed is capped at <2mbps for both wifi and 3g?
My wife's iPhone is getting download speeds of over 10mbps on the same wifi network and >3mbps over 3g.
Is it worth flashing back to stock? or is this a known issue?
I'm running stock JH3 with SRE 1.2.1a with lagfix
I have this same issue and it's really random. Running JH2, sometimes it works on wifi, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes disabling\re-enabling wifi fixes it, but rebooting the phone always fixes it. Really frustrating...

Wifi connection connected but won't load pages

It said connected in the wifi setting and it shows bars but it just won't load any website in the browser .. anyone got a fix for this?
I have the same issue. Tried different combinations of restarting wifi, turning on/off cell data, on/off wifi calling, etc... all with no result. I've also tried on different networks (both public and private)-- it'd start working for a while and then all of a sudden stop and never work again.
Seems similar to the problem here: forums. t-mobile.c om/t5/T-Mobile-G2x/G2x-WiFi-DNS-issue-not-the-4G-switching-one/m-p/831439 (sorry there's a new user no link restriction)
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

is it specific to the browser or can you not move any data?
Idk, whenever I have had problems connecting to the tmo network, which is a separate issue.. it was always that wifi calling was still on even tho wifi was turned off. Every time I had probs w/ data on tmo network, it's been wifi calling.. Your case seems to be diff tho.
Is it specific to just your network or all other networks? Try shutting off wifi, reboot... then turn it on again? Idk.. just tossing out ideas.
Some found the root cause and I am posting his finding as I do have the same issue and can reproduce the error:
I think I have discovered a new WiFi-related bug in the G2x's software. I have witnessed this occurring on my phone, and have also reproduced it on a store demo unit. I believe it is unrelated to the switching-to-4G problem people are having with the My Account app, since it occurs even if I have set up the Google account on first boot after a factory reset.
The details of the problem are:
- Every so often, the phone randomly gets stuck in a state where it is not able to initiate any new connections that are made using a DNS name. Attempting to navigate to a web site, h**p://w*w.google.c*m for example, will result in a generic failure message.
- However, attempting to connect directly to an IP address instead of a DNS name works perfectly. For example, navigating to 74.125.225.16 will work fine and will load the Google home page.
- When the phone is in this state, using a DNS lookup tool such as "DNS Lookup" from the Marketplace *will* work, even when using the default DNS server address that the DHCP server is giving the phone.
- The problem has occurred for me when data is off and WiFi is on. I do not know if data being off is a requirement, since this is the way I usually run the phone, so this may be coincidental.
- Switching WiFi off and back on again will *sometimes* work to solve the problem, but sometimes will not. When this doesn't work, switching WiFi off, then switching data on, then back off again, and then finally switching WiFi back on again will occasionally correct the problem. However, I have seen situations where none of these things worked, and the only way to get DNS working again was to factory reset the phone.
- I haven't figured out the exact pattern yet, but this issue seems to occur when the phone has been inactive for a certain period of time. I have often discovered that the phone is in this state upon waking up in the morning after leaving the phone on the charger overnight.
- I have, however, found a method to reproduce the problem that seems to work fairly consistently:
1. Turn WiFi on, and data off.
2. Power cycle the phone.
3. When the phone starts up, start the browser and attempt to browse to w*w.google.c*m. It should fail.
4. Try to browse to 74.125.225.16. It should work.
Just wanted to get this issue in the forums to see how many others have been noticing the same thing.
I know that once the device has less than 10% battery it automatically turns the WiFi off to save battery power. Were the devices this was happening on have a low battery?
Fully charged. It even happens when pluged in with the charger.
My Wifi wouldn't even work if I froze it with Bloat Freezer. It has to run in the background for wifi to work. I found that Wifi can get really inconsistent with it disabled.

Same problem here. After about 30 minutes of being idle, as soon as I pick up the phone it tries to connect 2g/4g. The log are saying theres no connection, so it appears that wifi its going to sleep and not waking up so android is trying to connect 2g/4g
Really starting to be a pain
I have frozen the bloat, and I think the problem is getting worse.
Toggle airplane mode is a quick workaround to get wifi to wake up

Same thing happened to me, I did 2 factory resets, and it seems it has been fixed, don't really know what causes it.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
This may or may not be related, but...
It looks like I found a hacky fix for the dns/wifi/4g bug: install "Set DNS" from the market.
Now when I go into market, and display my downloaded apps, it jumps from wifi to 4g then back to wifi as it should, fast.
Whether or not it should even do go to 4g is debatable, all I can say is my 2 Galaxy Tabs had the same behavior.
If everyones connectivity issues are really due to the DNS settings getting wiped out, then this will work around the problem until I/we find the location of the actual bug.
Would you guys having this problem also post it here?
http://www.lgforum.com/forum/boards/general/lg/topics/g2x-wifi-problems
Thanks.
I figure the more people that post there, the more the chances are of LG fixing it quickly.
Work around:
enable airplane mode
reboot
enable wifi
wait a few seconds after the wifi connects, background crap stops
disable airplane mode.
The set dns app looks like a winner. Haven't tried it but that's what's
wrong.
The freezing and other suggestions are all useless crap.
Updates...
I did a factory reset and installed JuiceDefender (I don't know which one worked) but it seems to be all fine now... will update if things become problematic again
I've been having this problem as well. I've always been able to fix it by toggling WiFi off and back on again. I downloaded SetDNS and when it happened again last night I tried that and it worked great.
Glad to see it's a software problem and not a hardware problem.
same problem here. hopefully it won't happen in cyanogen mod

This fixed the problem, at least until the next time I reboot my phone
How do you use SetDNS? This software bug in G2X reboots my router (DGL-4500) sometimes.
Question bout SetDNS app
Does the phone have to be rooted to use the setdns app? I try to use it but it says "Cannot get root. App will not function."

[Q] Enabling Wi-Fi Crashes HD7

My HD7 worked without issue from the beginning of the year til around a month ago.
All of a sudden, my WiFi became extremely unreliable, sometimes taking an overly long time to recognise or connect to an obvious access point, sometimes finding none at all.
After I do manage to connect wirelessly, I see no speed increase in data transfer to suggest that the phone is even using the wireless link. Web pages sometimes load slower than over 3G. I had read that HD7s have trouble using certain WiFi protocols and adjusted accordingly, but the workaround was to no avail.
Additionally, once WiFi has been selected, I cannot switch it off. I am 'locked out' of the WiFi settings page. When I tap it in the menu it responds as if I've nudged it but it cannot load. The only solution is to remove the battery. On occasion, this stuck WiFi has also caused the capacitive buttons, camera and power switch to become inactive. Curiously, touch screen function seems unaffected.
I thought maybe this issue was tied to corrupt settings with my hub, but changing SSID / WEP key etc etc on my router hasn't fixed the problem, and connection to other open WiFi signals jam the phone just as badly.
I upgraded to Mango in the hope that a fresh OS update may 'rejig' my wireless settings into working, but again, no joy.
Anyone experienced anything similar? My final options seem to be factory reset the handset to see if that solves the issue, or return the handset to O2. (Both involve losing all my data, game saves, application data AND the recently delisted SW: Battle for Hoth permanently.)
Anyone got any other thoughts?
*EDIT* After a bit more research, I found that even when the phone has connected to a WiFi source, by turning Operator Data Service off, you can see that the WiFi service is in fact not doing anything.
I braved a factory reset, managed to whack WiFi on no problem, browser ran at appropriate speed, then everything crashed as per usual, I couldn't connect to the marketplace and had to pull the battery in order to use any of the capacitive buttons. I guess it was a hardware issue individual to my phone after all.
Guess I'll give O2 a ring sometime soon to sort a replacement. Not looking forward to losing all my game progress though it has to be said.
bro i m having the same exact problem havent find any solution yet i even tried to copy and replace the wifi files from another clean htc hd7 but useless when i upgraded to 7740 the wifi worked perfectly for 1 night only then at the morning it stopped working, everything else works great. my theory says that its not a hardware problem cz i used internet sharing which uses the wifi adapter (if i m right) so its a software I GUESS

I had the same problem as well, couldn't connect, got to the point where even the power button stopped responding. Hard resets would only help for a short time and enabling WIFI would never connect right and eventually get me back to the same problem. I then got a replacement device, but it's not much better, I still can't connect to any WIFI, but at least it's not freezing up on me. My solution thus far has been just to avoid turning on WIFI if at all possible, but it's far from a perfect workaround. I'm guessing it's the HTC WIFI driver that's got issues.
i got similar problem.. send phone to service problem was "circut board"
replaced working fine...
when i was using wifi my phone was freezing some menus stop working and i have to remove battery

[Q] wifi switches on and off

Hi,
since yesterday I have problem with wifi in my S7 (SM-G930F). It keeps turning on and off every second or two. I cannot switch it off because it keeps switching. I have rebooted my device, but it didn't help me. My phone is not rooted, it has stock 6.0.1 firmware. How to fix it? Despite it's impossible to use wifi now, it keeps draining my battery.

I saw it yesterday at work, but not authenticated. Now it is remembered in list. Sadly S7 has no option to forget networks out of range. Todays we have national holidays, but on Monday I will be at work and try to forget this network. I do not want to change rom because rom from my operator has wifi calling enabled and it is awesome.
Is there any chance that WiFi scanning is turned on? I recently saw that WiFi scanning will briefly turn my WiFi on then off repeatedly (shows with an indicator on top and I hadn't noticed that before). This first showed up when I installed Android Auto since it turned on my WiFi scanning option by default. As soon as I turned WiFi scanning off, the WiFi worked as it had before. It may be worth a look.
I've run into the same issue. Started yesterday, which may have come with the latest PJG update... Not sure.
But it's rendered my phone pretty much useless. The constant toast message popping up, saying "Network connectivity is available" gets in the way of the keyboard and I can't type a damn thing!
Like you, I've found it's stuck with reboots and a factory reset, which makes me think it could be the firmware or modem.
Edit: Disabling WiFi Scanning stopped the errors. Root cause is still unknown, though. I've never had to disable that before...

Yep. It was turned on, but I have it enabled since I bought this phone. Turning off neutralized my problem, but why it was broken for last few days when I haven't done anything with my phone? I rely on this feature because of localization accuracy and disabling it is just temporary fix.
edit:
Guys, one more thing:
do you have "Samsung Gear" app installed? I think this app is forcing to enable and disable wifi. Under localization it shows battery usage as high and it was updated last week

My phone does not have the Samsung Gear app installed. I do use Samsung Pay regularly and that was also updated (engine and app). I don't know how that would relate to WiFi though.

Turning off WiFi scanning stops the constant switching of WiFi. I tried removing the system settings permission from all the apps that had it (even the Google app) but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
I am seeing the same issue, I did not touch my screen in the following video

disabling "Wi-Fi scanning" in location helps.
Hi,
I had the same issue before.
What I did was(Not sure how its displayed in english):
-Settings;
-Backup and Reset
-Reset network settings
I was having constant disconnections from wifi and it solved it.

Did the above solve the problem?
I am using G930F in US on ATT and encountered the same problem in past few days, where wifi kept turning on and off. Was searching this post, and found out that if i turn off wifi scanning i can get wifi to stay off (when i switched off ) and wifi on (when switched to on) and not flip back and forth.
go to settings.
- click on search
- type in improve accuracy
- select from choice
- turn off wifi scanning
Try that and hope that helps.
I have the same problem. The side effect is that it will drain the battery really fast.
As others have mentioned, after I have turned off the WiFi scanning in the location setting the problem is temporarily gone. However it should not be the solution as I really need the WiFi location to work. I don't know what is causing the bug.
P. S. I only see this problem starting from the last week or so. I leave the WiFi scanning location function on since I have bought the phone in May. Mine is Exynos version.
several Samsung devices have this issue.
I and several others have it on a note 4, and some people have also reported having this problem on S6 variants.
The problem is Google Play Services 10.0.84 version. Another cell phones with this version of Google Play Services have the same problem (ej. Google Pixel phone) but not all.
The problem is the Android Wear App. Deinstall the app and wifi works perfekt.
This issue starts with the last update of the wear app.
Hope i could help you.

I tried uninstalling Android Wear but it didn't make a difference. The wifi kept switching on and off.
As mentioned above, it's Google Play Services 10.0.84. Just disable wifi scanning until there is an update. Hopefully google won't take too long to push a fix.

WiFi slow response after EMUI11[update: reason found]

Hi everyone,
So I updated my p40 pro (GMS installed) to EMUI11 last week via OTA.
I noticed that after the update the wifi response is not good, i.e. many apps that I use are slow in the initial loading of content (internet based like ebay, etc). After that, they somehow work better. I checked in various WIFI networks and getting the same result, so I suppose that it is the update to blame. All apps load immediately in mobile data, so this also confirms the wifi issue for me.
I remember having a similar problem the first time i got the device and loaded GMS, but after the second time the problem was gone.
Tried wiping cache but no dice.
Anyone noticing the above in their devices? Any tips?
cheers,
t
Anyone?
For users experiencing the same issue I noticed foll:
After some messing around I reset network settings and after restart the phone WiFi connection is snappy again.
What I notice though is that in case I unfreeze gsf and then re-freeze it, the problem incurs again, so surely something is happening at that point; I then have to once again reset network settings so that it does not lag.
OK, so I finally found the culprit of the sh*tty Wi-Fi after the update to EMUI11:
There is a software bug for sure, due to which by the time that you enable WiFi calling on the device, all apps are slow to load content(besides the browser and social apps which work OK).
I have been constantly resetting network settings to fix the issue, issue was fixed but as soon as I enabled WiFi calling, things started to get problematic.
After switching WiFi calling off, problem immediately disappears, so surely this is a bug which was not present in previous firmwares.
Thanks for updating your thread! I had the same issue with some apps, but not all of them. Also, I was able to use these apps on Wifi using a VPN connection. After disabling Wifi calling the problem disappeared. The issue occurred after updating to EMUI 11.
I wonder why there aren't more people complaining about that.

Honestly? I have no idea, but it is a really sh*tty bug for me, since I have been using WiFi calling for a long time (network reception in my home is bad). I hope Huawei or even some dev finds a fix soon..
Today i updated firmware to 168 but the problem still persists.
Another thing I noticed though is that you do not have to fully switch off WiFi calling, but only not to set it in WiFi preferred, instead leave it to mobile network preferred. The caveat tho is that when you have it in mobile network preferred, even if you have 1 bar of signal it will rarely switch to WiFi calling, so it is pointless.
OK, I think that the emui 11 update has ruined the phone due to this WiFi calling problem. It is almost unusable, every phonecall in my house ends up in call dropping, so the update got me in a position to either set wifi preferred in WiFi calling and have most of the apps lagging like hell, or to set it to mobile preferred and have usable apps but dropped calls all the time.
What a mess.
Indeed, thanks a lot for updating your thread!
The downloading lag I had on many apps (Gmail...) was driving me crazy!!
I disabled wifi calling (I couldn't until now, as I didn't have any reception in my old house) and downloads work again smoothly!
(I'm on 11.0.0.168)

hi i have the same exact problem you have described, and possibly started after i upgraded to EMUI 11.0 as well, but i havent noticed before. Most of the apps are lagging like hell and most of the times i end up switching to mobile data as it seems faster (though i have 300 mbps wifi connection). Let me try disabling Wifi calling and see if this helps with the issue.

Yes it indeed helped now.. Apps load much faster after disabling wi-fi calling. Guess we need to raise this as bug with Huawei.

If you know the way, yes... I personally raised this issue to Huawei support hotline a few days after the update, but I never heard from them again.
oh my god, i resetted my phone and re-googlefierd it now 4 times until i found out those problems are just "wifi-calling" related.
problem still persists on latest 11.0.0.196
was anybody able to fix this?

I guess not, unfortunately the only solution for me was to switch wifi calling off. personally I switched to S21 ultra. Even though I believe that overall it was a downgrade move, god I was so frustrated not being able to use WiFi calling at my home, so this was the main reason of me switching to S21 Ultra. I still have the p40 pro sitting in a drawer, hoping that someone may fix this at some point I really miss the epic low light cameras and it's form factor (s21u too big for my taste and also when taking photos at night it's shyte compared to p40 pro)
Omg, thank you. It has been bothering me for months. Normally I just turn off and on wifi, to get the apps to have axcess to internet when I need to. But normally the have trouble again after short time. But now after setting it to 'operator preffered' and not 'wifi-preffered', it works like a charm. Ofcourse I do not have problems with the operator-signals...
But thanx again
Thank you so, so much! This was driving me nuts. You made my phone usable again
Seems like the Problem got fixed somehow silently.... im now on 11.0.0.223 & Updated all huawei apps to latest, and VoWifi seems to work fine now, at least for me...
can anyone confirm ?
My p40 pro is currently sitting at my drawer since I bought a S21U, but I will check to see if it works.
