Hi, I've been trying to get online with my switch using my Pixel 2 as a hotspot, but I keep getting a DNS error, saying the name could not be resolved. I didn't have this issue with my Nexus 5X when I had it, or when I use my girlfriend's Galaxy S6, so I'm thinking it's an issue with the Pixel 2 settings.
Has anyone had this issue and been able to fix it? Thanks in advance!

Could this be caused by the network you are attached to? I was running into problems with different ports being closed and ended up running things through a VPN to open them up.

It's the same phone network as the Nexus 5X, same Sim card and everything. I'll give it a try though!

Hello all. I have been having am issue with my wife at home for a while and thought i would ask here if anybody has any ideas.
When installing a new rom I can not connect to the google servers. It says it does not have a stable connection.
A heap of apps do not work via Wifi. Gmail, and YouTube, Facebook, and a couple of others.
Yet on the same phone with the same connection I can open up the browser and go to any of these websites.
I have tried a heap of things but if somebody has any ideas on how to fix this would love to hear it.

Mine too lol.....she is always bugging me jk......back to the topic, you could try reflashing the ROM to see if it clears it up....if that doesn't, test it with another WiFi connection.....or revert to a different version of ROM
"Hello World"
Hahaha. I didn't even notice that mistake. It does not matter what rom and it is only my connection. I have changed my setup at the moment and it's working.
Its just crazy and i can not work it out.

I'm on my third Nexus 5 that has had issues, and every single one of them have had this one. When using YouTube the video is jerky and stutters, and randomly there will be audio distortion and pops from the speaker. This is the third Nexus 5 I've had with this issue, and nothing I find can fix it. I can barely find any info on the internet about it.
From what I can tell it is limited to YouTube. The thing is, my old S2 on 4.1.2 had no such issue. None of my other electronics have any issues with YouTube to the degree this does. I'm past believing it is an issue with my phone(though it might be), because as I said, I'm on my third Nexus 5 with this issue.
Has anyone else had this issue? What are my options in trying to fix it? I've had such a bad experience with the Nexus line I'm close to giving up and buying a different phone. This is driving me crazy.
I hope someone can help. Thanks.

App is up to date, and my internet speed is at least 10mbps. I have 30 at home and have the same issues. It does this at home, here at work, and on 4G. But it couldn't be the internet connection as it works fine on my old phone and other devices.
Here's some more info.
Stock, unrooted, stock kernel, 4.2.2. I've been tempted to root and unlock the boot loader to install a new kernel and see if that helps, but I'm not used to rooting Nexus devices and don't want to make it difficult to upgrade to 4.4.3 when its released. Hopefully that will fix this issue, but Google has been radio silent on it so I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket.

I assume by 4.2.2 you meant 4.4.2
Try clearing data and cache on the YouTube app, if that doesn't help try uninstalling/uninstalling updates and reinstalling/reupdating.

Yeah, 4.4.2. Sorry. I've already tried that stuff. I've even tried factory resetting the phone. I'm seriously at a loss for what to do as far as fixing it.

Are you certain that it isn't just the video being like that? If you've had this problem over a few devices, you're really unlucky.

If it was some sort of hardware issue I don't see why it would only affect YouTube.

Exactly. It's why I've ruled it out being a hardware issue, because this has happened to two other Nexus 5's I've been in possession of. It's so weird.
I've unlocked the bootloader, rooted it, all the fun stuff. I'm gonna try a new kernel to see if that will fix it.

Just an update, yep, that didn't work. Still happens. I think by the end of the year I'm going to get a different phone, I'm done dealing with this. I'll put it with it until then. Thanks for the help.

Hiya,
Im having this issue as well. Some of the videos have disortion and stutters, but its not in youtube app. When I play videos form the websites it happens but, not in all of them. Dont know why some are ok and others dont. Sometimes its really annoying, especially when it stutters a lot in the playedback video. I do not know if its a hardware or a software issue.
EDIT:
Just checked the same video in Android Authority app and in Youtube app. In the first app audio stutters and being a wee bit choppy, in Yt however, everything is fine. Audio is clear, no stutters at all. So I assume its software issue and maybe audio codecs dont play well with third party apps. Also, I dont think there is a solution to this problem.

Hello,
I just bought a Nexus 5 and fell in love with it. :victory:
But there is one big and annoying problem:
When I'm connected to my router and use Wifi I get a lot of Wifi drops and sometimes it won't work at all.
Switching to Airplane Mode or turning wifi off and back on again and all these standard solutiones. (flashing another baseband version, turning router off and back on)
Sometimes for 1 min it's perfect! But then it's back in this very annoying problem. (On every other device it's so fast like it's supposed to be)
Is somebody out there, who shares the same problem and maybe got the ultimate solution?
Greetings (sorry for my bad englisch)

change it to G and see if it fixes your issue. wireless downloads will be slower since the throughput will have changed.

I can change it?
Also in the router settings?
I think you can fix this problem by changing the channel your that your router uses or by connecting to a 5GHz ap(if possible) but this sort of does the same with the channel 'trick'.
Download an app like inSSIDER or similar, find out what channel is least used by surrounding routers and change the channel of your router to that one.
If you need help with this let me know.

Thanks for your tip! I changed the channel to 11, now it's working and hopefully it will also work in the future.
I'm writing if it's now solved or if the wifi drops come back.
Nope, didn't worked...
Still no Wifi on Nexus 5... God that's annoying

I had the exact same problem and after literally trying everything imaginable I tried several routers. The solution, change your router. I tried several and returned them until I settled on one. But never at the same store. Lol

Just bought a new router and it's working!!! [emoji9] Thank you all for your help!
I had the same issues with Linksys routers. Finally bought a netgear nighthawk and couldn't be happier. I can saturate my internet connection with the phone. And it outputs 1watt of power to each 5ghz and 2.4. So I get almost full signal on 5ghz on the other side of the house
Does any one use sling t.v., I've attempted installing it on my s8+ but I keep getting an error message to restart app and try again when I sign in. It works on my other devices, does any one else use slingtv having the same issue with the app?

Same issue here. I was reading the reviews in the Play Store and it looks like a compatibility issue with the S8 and S8+

One of the latest sling app updates broke streaming to my Samsung stupid tv...
I also have an old d850 and I updated to latest crdroid rom and the app crashes after a minute of streaming, but I don't think it's related to the specific rom

I use SlingTV. It still works without issue on my HTC 10 and PC, but will not work at all on my new Galaxy S8, despite uninstalling, reinstalling and toggling the full screen option for apps. I keep getting the following error: "We're sorry! The app is temporarily unavailable. Give us a minute and then reboot the app. (Error 2-1)."
I've reported the issue to Sling but so far haven't heard anything. I assume all the staff at Sling are iPhone users and could care less.
Using galaky s8 plus, i tried to factory reset the phone n did not nothin to sling and research the resolution and could not find anything

I'm having the same problem. I've deleted the app and reinstalled it with no luck.
I had uninstalled and wasn't using it.. but today i installed the latest version and it was working beautifully
So this was happening with my 6 Pro, also, so when the 7 Pro came out I traded up, but it's happening on the 7 as well.
Let me start off by saying I am on Wifi probably 95% So I get "some" notifications, but as soon as I switch to cell, a bunch of new notifications come through, has anyone seen this or know how to fix it?
Are you using any ad blocking? I've been having some issues with my pixel that I never had before (my first Google device).

No not at all.
Check whether it's detecting your wifi network as a metered connection, or change it from autodetect to "treat as unmetered" and see if it makes a difference...?
