My Samsung Galaxy S7 stays connected to Wi-Fi for anywhere between a couple of minutes to 30 minutes before dropping the network. I can still see a list of all of the networks, and this happens no matter what Wi-Fi I am connected to. My home network, my work Network, my friends Network. This issue began after I factory reset my phone and put a new SIM card in it.
Any ideas or help would be appreciated! I am with Cricket Wireless, have been since 2013 and I've never had network problems with them.
Bumping this thread
Does anyone have any ideas as to things i can do to help with a wifi issue? Whthere specific to Galaxy S7 or not?
I just want my phone to work normal again..
Please help.
Hi,
One thing you can do is try is;
Click on the wifi icon in the shortcut drop down menu
Long click on your network connection to bring up an additional menu
Click on 'show advanced options'
And under 'IP Settings' click 'Static' rather 'DHCP' and see what happens.
Let me know how that works out for you and we can move from there if need be.
Best,
Do you use battery saver? Also if you've unlocked the developer menu have you changed any WiFi settings in there?
I've got a similar problem. My phone stays connected but after a while it says no internet connection with ! On the wifi icon. All other devices work just fine. Ive tried disabling everything. I also set fixed ip. But no luck. Problem persists.
Does anyone have a clue?

Mine has started staying connected now after an android update i received last week. I wish i could be of more help. Maybe make sure your phone has the memory space, and then while its connected to wifi, try and look for an update. Look for the version you have and see if its up to date. If you aren't able to get it updated on your own, you may take it to your carrier and see if they can help!

Hello, I applied this ROM yesterday I don't have enough posts to put the question in the original thread where I downloaded the ROM but I am
and am very happy with the results but there are two issues. One is that I no longer get the “weather sound” when the clock/weather widget is doing a full screen animation.
No huge deal but I kind of liked that.
The other thing, which is a big deal to me, is that the wireless will not connect automatically, either to open wifi that is remembered, or at home where I have WPA security. It also does not notify me of open networks, even though I have that option checked. Another thing (and this goes back to the OEM ROM as well) is that there are three “AT&T Wifi Hotspot” listings and I cannot “forget “ them.
I connect to one of these at Starbucks but do not know why there are three of them. I also do not use AT&T I use a pre-paid T-Mobile with no date plan so that is why the auto connect to Wifi is so important.
Can anyone offer any advice? I am a total newb but I think I did the “full wipe” correctly, I ran a file called FULL_WIPE_1.5_EXT4_.zip
However, I noticed that after the wipe/ROM flash I still had my remembered wireless networks on the phone, as well as the name of the phone for Bluetooth, which I had changed. So it did retain some info even though it make me do the whole setup routine again once I had flashed this ROM.
Thanks in advance for any advice. I do like Sense but wanted some of the stuff I can do with root, but it is very important for me to be able to auto connect to remembered wifi networks as I don't have a data plan. I really don't want go go back to the unrooted version that is posted on the HTC page.
OK stupid a** me I found the toggle for weather sound so now the only issue is the connection to WiFi if anyone can help out. I have tried toggling WiFi on and off, forgetting and then re-connecting to my home WiFi, a restart and an off/on start, but once I am disconnected from a known Wifi it will not reconnect on it's own I have to go into menu/wireless/networks and then it will do a scan and connect automatically, but with the stock rom it always connected automatically, to remembered networks once I was in range, even if the phone was in sleep mode.
Please post all questions in the Q & A section. Thanks. Thread moved.

So I've had my Nexus 5 for roughly around a month and I hadn't experienced any issues others have had with wifi not connecting until now. My N5 will show im connected to my home wifi with full bars, but going into quick settings shows it to be orange. Suggesting there's no data transfer, I cannot use any internet based apps with wifi. I've tried some suggestions, switching my router off then on, rebooting the phone, turning some settings off in the advanced panel in wifi settings. All have failed.
I was just wondering if anyone else has this problem and if anyone has a fix to it.

There was a thread around here somewhere that suggested turning off your mobile data helped fix this problem, I think it was in the N5 General forums.....here it is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2550690
Don't know if it'll help or not, just saw your thread and had just looked at the other one, figured I'd toss it out there.
Thanks for the reply, just tried that solution but still no luck.
I have a similar problem except that there are phases of wifi not working.
Sometimes I would have around 20-30 seconds of WiFi not working and there would be no data transfer.
Speeds are still fast when it is working however.
I played a little with only using mobile data and no wifi, and everything worked. (Small sample size however).
Seems like this is a WiFi only issue.
So somehow overnight the wifi has managed to fix itself, will report back if the problem returns.
The issue with the wifi returned unfortunately.

Don't know if you've tried this but change your WiFi frequency band in advanced setting to either "5 GHz only" or "2.4 GHz only," whatever your router uses. Might be worth a try.
Thanks for the help, but I've tried changing some settings in advanced wifi settings but it hasn't worked. Even what you recommended I've tried that before and it didn't work.
wifi issue
Also I have the same issue - Im connected to router by wi-fi, home and work and time by time (5x a day) wifi stops working. Wifi is enabled in settings, but there is no connection. Restart the cellphone helps, but after that, maybe an hour, it appears again.
Issue was in 4.4 and still appers in 4.4.1.
Yet did not found how to solve it.
I have the same issue on my gnex running shiny 4.4, but I also had the same issue on 4.3. Tried the wifi options, nothing worked. Unfortunately, no solution for this device that has to last one more week. The double swipe down and tapping wifi gets the connection back, but it is only a work around.
The N5 connects seamlessly to my home and work wifi. A few days ago, I flashed the hammerhead factory image, TWRP and the 4.4.1 update.

Hey,
I have the same problem with 4.4.2.(factory rom, no root or not unlocked). Sometimes the wifi not works and get orange. I must put airplane mode to fix it. Its annoying.
But as well happens to me:
When I go out from office or home (where I have wifi connections saved in phone) the phone automatically switch to data plan from carrier. But when I come back the phone stays with data and there is not automatic switch to wifi. Sometimes it help to put wifi off or always airplane mode on/off for a while.
I do not know if it is normal behave of android but I would like have automatic switch to wifi.
I tried to change wifi details (changing bands, etc.) but not helped.
Please help. Thank you.
Is custom ROM or kernel will fix it??
For some unknown reason, as soon as I updated my router's firmware, the problem disappeared.
Updated Android 6.0 solved the issue

So I had the unfortunate experience of having my wifi go down while on vacation and for 3 weeks I spent a good chunk of time wiping and reinstalling multiple versions from Cyanogen, Paranoid android and 4.4 - 5.1 to no avail. I just did another factory wipe today and installed the new Android 6.0
The Finger Pointing Game is OVER
Read through 30+ pages of other android users with similar experience and some people send their units back to LG and some even managed getting a new handset. There was never any hardware issues with my unit I just couldn't turn on the WiFi but after the install WiFi works? Guess next time you push a software update to our Phones CHECK YOUR SH*T google and Maybe DON'T Take 3 months to FIX your F*CK Up.
I have a similar issue. Since Lollipop my phone almost never automatically connects to my WiFi anymore. What's wrong?
Hey guys,
I'm having some issues with my Wi-Fi connectivity on my N5 and it's freaking me out! :crying:
When I'm trying to connect to my home network, the Wi-Fi icon is getting orange after some random time.
Some times it gets back to white, some times it's not.
I know its a known issue but nothing seems to fix it.
I tried everything - reboot my phone, reboot my router, reboot into safe mode, forget the network and connect again, toggle into airplane mode and back, change Wi-Fi settings to connect only to 2.4 GHz, avoid poor connections, update my router firmware.
NOTHING worked!
The only thing I haven't tried yet is factory reset but I read some people saying it didn't help them either.
Only turning Wi-Fi off and than on again makes it "white" again for some other random time.
I'm running stock everything on a rooted device with Android 4.4.4 build KTU84P.
My Wi-Fi is working great with other devices in the network including a Nexus 7 2012 and some laptops.
And it seems that my Nexus 5 is connecting fine to other Wi-Fi networks.
It worked fine in the past and I think it all went wrong when I replaced my Modem.
Any ideas what else can I try?
Do you think maybe the Lollipop update will fix this annoying issue?
Thanks!
Forgot to mention (I guess it is obvious) - I can't connect to any website or run any network connected app when I'm "orange" (I know it means I'm not connected to google services).
Tried also to change my Wi-Fi channel. still not working.
Doesn't anyone have an idea what is wrong here?
This is really frustrating ... :crying:
Well, I'm kind of talking to myself here, but in case someone else is facing this annoying issue, here is what fixed it for me eventually:
Configure a static IP to my phone in the router configurations ! :victory:
Before that, I also tried to disable Wi-Fi optimization in the phone Wi-Fi settings, buy it didn't seem to help.
Hey guys,
Having an issue with WiFi since the Marshmallow update. We have an open WiFi network at work that you need to sign in to the firewall to access internet. Previously it worked fine, but after the Marshmallow update, my phone constantly drops the WiFi network. It always happens when I lock the phone or otherwise let the screen turn off for more than about a minute, but it also happens even when I'm using my phone, if I'm on for more than about 5 minutes on average it drops the network. When I go to reconnect, it lists under the SSID "Internet not available" but I just tap the network and tap connect and it connects anyway, doesn't even make me sign into the firewall again. I'd really appreciate some help with this, if I can't get this fixed I'll be doing away with Android for good. I don't use my phone for much other than Facebook and games, so I'm not at all opposed to using a custom ROM if that would help. Just haven't installed one since CM7 on my HTC Evo Shift, so I duno which would be best for my situation. Thanks in advance for any input!
Bump. Hopefully someone has a solution...
One more bump before I give up...
Hi, I'm on stock firm, and after the last upgrade, I cannot connect to my work's wifi network. It's a EAP-MSCHAP2 connection. At home, wifi works flawlessly....

try talking to your system administrator at work. The upgrade may cause a comparability issue that maybe fixed by a simple tweak at work.
Hi,everybody!
So I just got my S7 a few weeks back.It's been working properly. But there's this one thing that's been bugging me some of the days. Every time my phone connects to the Wi-Fi and if I don't use it, the connectivity just goes away just like that. And it shows 'Internet Not Available' . Even though I disabled the Wi-Fi from going off when the phone locks,the Wi-Fi still goes of with no reason. Is there a solution to this issue? Please help.
Also I tried resetting the network certificates and stuff,still doesn't seem to help out
No issue at my end

Sometimes i have this Problem too.
But only when this Option under WiFi is activated.
Sorry for German Screenshot :silly:
Disable it and test again?
