Wifi slowliness - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

Hello everyone,
It has been a while now that when I browse websites, reddit, etc. the images would stop loading and the pages stop charging when the WiFi is on.
When I open apps, it takes also a while to load them.
1. I don't have the issue when using 4G.
2. Other devices in my network use the same WiFi and don't experience that issue.
3. I checked threads on XDA under the op6 forum but couldn't find an answer.
4. I am running pie, and recently updated to ob10 which did not resolve the issue.
5. I ran some speed tests and the bandwidth is not a problem. I just feel that the network card on the phone stops to process requests/packets randomly.
It is quite annoying so if someone could give me pointers, I would be so grateful, I am running out of idea.
Thanks !

Did you try the "private DNS" feature available in Pie?
If not, here is the set up(two different examples)
Go to 'Network & Internet'>Advanced>Private Provider hostname, type "dns.google"(w/o quotations) then "Save"
-see if there is an improvement. Try also another private dns( this one doubles as add blocker): type "dns.adguard.com" and hit 'save'

If I'm not mistaken, beta 11 broke the dns. Would have to use a magisk module for that atm.

Wikitude Drive

Was anyone able to get Wikitude Drive? Looks pretty awesome!

I got it, messed around with it at work (sitting outside) and it looked amazing. Then went to use it at the end of the day on my drive home (just to test it out) and it never successfully routed me by the time I got home so I've yet to have a "real world experience" with it, but I assume the servers were just getting hammered or something (connects to server to route, re-route, etc).
Gonna keep messing with it tho because it seems pretty impressive for a beta.
Edit: and before people ask, I don't think sharing the apk is a good idea. It definitely does an online authentication check every time you run it.
anyone wanna post the .apk?

hahah.
Well all of a sudden during the authentication step mine is telling me there is an update available and says update or no thanks. If i click update it takes me to the market with a search for the publisher which doesn't return wikitude drive (nor is it available anymore if i search for it) and if i click don't update, it says auth failed and doesn't let me do anything.
Maybe a glitch? Maybe they revoked the beta?
Edit: Just found this on their website.
May 21, 2010 in News
Fellow testers,
Thank you for participating in our Wikitude Beta Test phase and also thank you for the great feedback!
** Currently Wikitude Drive does not work because the routing server is disabled **
Noooooo!
I guess I'll just run the Camera app with the Navigation in the Background for now.
is it full? I cannot see it on the market, only the browser....
Can anyone post the apk?

I don't think it's a good idea. Unless someone is willing to hack it to get around the activation step, it is definitely doing an online check against their servers every time you use the app. Color me paranoid, but I suspect they are keeping a close eye on the activation server
There have been cases of closed beta's being pulled before for people sharing APK files, and I have a feeling it would not take long to shut this down if people start doing that.

For those, who have a beta version. The server is now up again.
please be patient, there are only a few slots for beta testers.
the user amount on the server is limited, if its full -> you'll get a messeage: authentification faild.
Have a safe test drive!

Both of these were first 2 things I noticed/thought of when playing around with this app. Another thing, tho probably a lot more complex, would be options to tweak the route/routing algorithm. IE, avoid toll roads, stay on highway, avoid highways. If feasible, this would be a great enhancement!
Congrats on creating such a unique and useful app!
quick question regarding this app, is it using gps signal or does it require 3g/2g data?
jblazea50 said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It requires GPS Signal to get your current position.
The internet connection e.g 3G/2G/HSDPA/WLAN... is used to calculate the route.
If you leave the route during navigation, the route will be recalculated. this also uses the internet connection.
A 100km long stretch takes about 50kb traffic.
I'm also a little concerned about the amount of data used.
As shown in the video, it is also able to use a 3D-map (used during night ect), is this map downloaded dynamically, or do you purchase a certain map (like western Europe)?
If possible I would like to buy a map once and for all, in order to save on data.

I use virtual router for windows 7! Works a treat!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Question, is it ad-supported or monitor internet traffic in any way?
dude..if u use virtual router...then u should alsoo know abt the "virtual router could not be started"
this is really one of the scarest pblm.. coz jus type in the google and see the intensity of the problem!!
BTW
it is not ad-supported and doesnot collect any user stats
the best part i can recommend is that,NO NEED TO INSTALL IT
soo that al the major issues can be avoided
u will share the network via build in service which is present @W7.... nothing new...
tryng the simplst way is better i think dude...i apolozise if i was wrng

Two friendly suggestions and a question:
1) Produce a more "professional" and well-made tutorial video. For example, choose more "neutral" music and you might want to consider using voice narration instead of text.
2) For the "Setup Hotspot" function, if possible you should move to a GUI like in Virtual Router Manager instead of the current command prompt text interface. It looks and feels so 1980s.
3) What is the security encryption method used by this app? Hopefully WPA2
I use this open source app for the same (For windows 7+)
http://virtualrouter.codeplex.com/
I occassionally have to stop/start the service but otherwise it works fine.

dude...if u r conected via proxy,then
in your mobile...goto
settings/wireless and networks/wifi settings/
and go to advanced settings
there u will find a proxy column...jus enter your proxy and save it...thats it...u can use the internet now..
yes.still not connected.probably my university blocking the network sharing
yeah.That might be reason.
But once you restart the system and and disable/enable the wifi and also the sharing.
Try to adjust the LAN settings too.
It might work! why dont you give a try?

[Tool] Network Monitor

Hi All,
Would you like to know what app is using network in your phone? Would you like to know what address is the application connecting?
My friend wrote a tool named Network Monitor. The link is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jmm.networkmonitor Would you like to try?
The tool could help you below:
1. Monitor current data activity and uplink/downlink throughput.
2. Monitor external IP address.
3. List all package which using internet currently.
4. List all socket link including destination IP address and source IP address of per package.
5. Query where is the destination address of the link connection and show it in map.
It is a fun tool if you want to know what application using your internet connection background.
My friend welcome any comments and he could add function if it would helpful.
Thanks.
Would this be helpful in analyzing what kind of intranet traffic is causing high wlan_rx_wakelocks?
Useful tool.
Works good on my N7100.
Thank you.
much needed as many are taking up lots of data without knowingly.
thanks
Nice app. Keep up the good work :good:
I almost installed this as it looks to be very helpful, but.....then I reread the thread and the fact that you say "My friend" made this app and not you makes me very nervous....why isn't your friend posting this up?
The way I see it if this app was found to be stealing data or compromising networks who would we have to turn to? You? All you are going to say is "my friend did it not me".
No insult intended but have him\her post this themselves would be my request.
I mean dude....you have less than 20 posts. Not like you have been on here for years....or even a year.
As an IT professional with 46 companies relying on my judgement....I simply can't risk their security
The tool will let you know which application is using your network, even for intranet.

I think your concern was reasonable.
I am the author and using my friend's account. Let me explain what was going on. I wrote the tool part time and shown to my friend. My friend said you should publish in google play. But as you know, it is hard to let more person know there is software named "network monitor". My friend said he has a xda account and could help me to post. I will apply a account or just use this account.
One thing I could guarantee, there isn't back door in the application. Thanks for everybody's reply, it encourages me to add more functions.
One function I am considering to add is WIFI control/diag function.
Thanks

So it won't I guess, I need to know analyze the broadcast packets originating from somewhere else on the intranet and waking up my device from deep sleep (wlan_rx_wakelocks).
You are correct. Currently the tool doesn't support packet analyze. It needs root right to capture the packet from network.

nice app... would be nice if it also shows wi-fi TX/RX along with the total and mobile... I take it total is the combo of wi-fi and mobile?
Yes. Total TX/RX combines Wifi information.
The reason I didn't list wifi TX/RX is most person only care about mobile data and there is limited space to show information.
Maybe need to provide a way to configure the display items.
BTW, I have upgraded the software and added floating window and process view. Please enjoy it.

[TOOL][2.3+] Share files over wifi

"Share files over wifi" (ShareBox) it's a new free tool app aimed to easily share files over wifi through web browser
When using ShareBox, you will not have anymore let friends and relatives take your device to show them your photos or videos. They will see them through their own device, be it android, iphone, windows, blackberry or linux, through their web browsers. And they will only see what you want to show in a quick, comfortable way and simultaneously!
As other devices begin to connect you will immediately know what they are watching through the informative Sharebox log list.
Get it at Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.b6dev.sharebox
Features that makes this app special:
Share the files through browser, so you can get them from any device that has a web browser be it android, iphone, ipad, windows, blackberry or linux.
Only shares and shows the files previously selected.
May be used with wifi networks, own wifi hotspot and also on phone 3g connections.
When ShareBox server is on, you are presented with a URL link to see what others are going to see.
As other devices begin to connect you will know what they are watching through the log list.
Very useful for photo shows as it presented by default as gallery, but also has a list mode that may be more suitable for other kind of files.
Go and try it!​
Anyone to provide feedback or suggestions for this application, please?
Came here cause I saw the app in the XDA portal, seems simple enough and ultra handy for the people who really struggle to send files. :good:
I also saw this on the XDA portal. Looks like a great idea; I have to try it out.
A few questions:
1) How do you connect over data (e.g. 3g)?
EDIT: I see the server status page has a WAN IP as well. Do we need to do any port forwarding or anything like that?
2) Can you download the files as well, or just view them?
3) Is there a way to add whole folders?
Hmm I like the concept !
(Not yet tried app - wishing you had a direct download link to fileshare service along with G-Store link)
Here's what I would like to be able to do and hoping your app can handle it.
Share a folder, then view / download those files through the browser.
Guessing http //device.ip/share

Portforwarding is common for any server, u might need to do it if connect to a router
I think u can start the server on mobile network directly
Sorry for my bad English...
Sent from my HTC Desire 200 using XDA Premium 4 Mobile app
Yeah I managed to download the app, with VPN & G'Play..
Nope, I cant add a whole folder.
Every-time I attempt to look at settings *CRASH*
I added a screenshot to share, it shows in PC browser as link, but wont download /open
Looking at path tells me why

'ictures' ? Really
I would rather use port 80 or 8080..
hence why I 'try' open settings, after tapping settings, about 6 seconds later. *CRASH*
The app works perfectly on my Oneplus One, it does exaclty what it says and it saved me from a lot of trouble.
Thanks!
Nice idea and works.
maybe add themes for the Web interface.
let me know if u need any help with that.

The connection is made through ip sockets, so you may connect not only through wifi but also through all ip addresses your mobile may has, at the time you turn on your ShareBox

Yes, I did via G android.
I will sit down later and give you more information
But, dinner comes first
Summary
Samsung Tab 3 10" - Tap Settings - a delay, screen stay same - then after 6 seconds, maybe bit longer, app closes with msg box (every time)
Would it be possible to enable nfc "sharing"?
For example, if I have sharebox opened and running on a certain ip and port, and I tap another nfc device, then the other device's default browser would open up, already displaying the sharebox url.
Kinda like I can share a web url or maps location via android beam, but this time the beam wouldnt be between two identical apps, but between sharebox and the default browser of the other device.
Cheers!

Hey no problem, I'll just update again..
I dont mind reporting bugs..
What I really need though, would be an app which can share a folder.
(Not just an interface that lets me share all the files in the folder quickly)
Something which shares 'that folder' live..
So if folder contents update 'live', refreshing the page will reflect the changes, much like a web-server would
If I try to add a cloud pic (I click add file, select stock kitkat gallery, click on a picasa / g+ image) the app force closes.
Can cloud pics be added? I dont think that nowadays people keep more than a few recently took photos on their device, both for memory and sync / backup reasons...

Hello,
I want present my new app. that is in beta stage but fully functional: Phone usage monitor.
With this app you will be able to know when and how much you use your device and the apps that you have in it.
Please, report issues, if any, and suggest more events to monitorize.
Thanks
Play Store Description
Are you obsessed with your phone?
Up to what point?
Do you want to be aware of which apps are the most used?
Do you want to know what WiFi networks you connect to and at what time?
When are your applications updated?
Do you want to know if your phone suffers a expontaneous reboot or when you turn on or off the screen?
You need this app and you know it!

Looking good! An option to exclude certain apps like Nova Launcher would be nice.

Thanks for the suggestion. Great idea!
It would also be nice to be able to monitor a remote phone (opening up the app to for parental monitoring for example).
This could be achieved by either allowing to :
- send a daily report by mail
- having a client app with data synced whenever a connection is avaialable
- sending data to a central server
...
anyway to export the data as .csv ?
Hello, thanks for app!
Any chance to remove "full network access" from permissions in future ?
Heya! Congrats on making the portal. Good stuff you got there.
Here's some suggestions for the intro texts:
Part 1 - Current
"Do you want to know how do you use your smartphone?
You have installed this app, so the answer will surely be affirmative.
With this app you can know with what apps you lose your time; time which you could lose living your real life..."
Part 1 - Suggested
"Would you like to know how you use your smartphone?
Well, as you've already installed this app, that'll be an affirmative!
By gathering statistics about your apps with Phone Usage Monitor, you'll know where your precious time is creeping off to. Time you might want to spend on living your real life..."
Part 1 - Motivation
The second "do" doesn't really have a function in the first sentence and I made it a bit softer to make a more friendly first impression. I mentioned the app's name to remind the user what's going to help them (branding, be proud of your creation). I stayed true to your intention, the reference to 'real life', but made that a bit softer as well by using "might" and not mentioning a negative word like "lose". We're all winners here!
Part 2 - Current
"To let us know this information we will run a service in the background to monitor the use you make of your smartphone.
Quiet!, it will not consume more than a little bit of the precious battery of your mobile..."
Part 2 - Suggested
"You're probably wondering how much battery this app will consume. Don't worry, just a tiny bit.
Think about the time you will save after gaining all this usage intel. You won't even need as much battery anymore."
Part 2 - Motivation
Shouting "Quiet!" doesn't come across very friendly. There's also never a comma after an exclamation mark. I wrote the text to match the battery icon better. I'm also pushing the major goal of the app forward.
Part 3 - Current
"We will give you more information if you let us see how do you use the apps in your device..."
Part 3 - Suggested
"Sorry to bother you but I will need some usage access in order to provide you with all these awesome statistics. Is that okay with you?"
Part 3 - Motivation
"let us see" gives the impression multiple people or a company will be watching along, which totally isn't the case. I wrote it a bit more personal, fun and friendly.
Part 4 - Current
"Do not worry!
The data we collect is NOT sent anywhere."
Part 4 - Suggested
"Do not worry!
The data I collect is NOT sent anywhere."
Part 4 - Motivation
As in part 3, It's better to speak from a first person point of view, "I" instead of "we". It's just the app and the user, "you and me", which is a more comforting thought.
Instead of "START APP" I'd use something more vivid like "Lets go!" or "Show me some numbers!" or "Start saving time!"
The UDPA looks good, people are used to not reading these disclaimers and accepting them anyway. It's also a nice reminder that even if there is a "we", it's literally stating no personal data will be collected on any server. Kudos! :highfive:
I personally don't like the last paragraph but ah well, one has to make a living, right?
Looking forward to those stats...

I need to think on it.
I would not like it to be used without consent to spy on anyone :/

Sorry, but Internet permission is needed to display Ads.
I understand that you do not believe in my word when I say that I am not sending data anywhere, but I need to access the Internet to load the Ads
Please add export data functionality! Csv format for example. Great app otherwise, thanks!
Crashing
Hi,. Unfortunately the app crashes every time I open it on my OnePlus 6 that runs Android 9. The first time run screens work fine and permissions are assigned ok but then I can't open the app. I have tried clearing the storage/cache and that hasn't helped. Any ideas what to try next please?
Hi
Assuming you're rooted, please, post a logcat or send by email.
Thanks

OK, I will try it by my self
Hello
I've tried but no luck reproducing the issue.
If possible, enter app settings then enable debug mode then reproduce the issue then sent the log file.
If not possible, please, contact by email or PM to receive a debug version of the app to track the issue.
Thanks in advance
