I bought a mirascreen car and I have a problem: every once in a while, once every 10-20 seconds, it loses some packets and the result is that little bits of audio and video are missing, just a few milliseconds, but enough to lose pieces of voice and is annoying.
Sometimes it happens to be fine for a few minutes; sometimes it's obscene.
I discovered is that with an iPhone the problem is not there and even with a OnePlus 2; with a P30 Pro, it's like mine.
The only thing I noticed is that in those that I have the problem the connection store without the password request (WiFi Direct ?) and in those that go ask for the password to connect to the device (WiFi classic).
Is it a different management for the 2 types of connection?
To connect after enabling the wireless display I use Cast menu.
Thank you

Hi,
I have a laptop, TV and iPod touch connected to my router via Wi-Fi, and a desktop via LAN. It's always been completely stable, rock solid. 2 weeks ago I bought a Sony Xperia T to replace the iPod, and since then the router has been freezing up every 15-30 mins, cutting off every device connected to it and not responding to any attempts to log in to it. The lights on the router don't indicate any problem and if I leave it alone it will unfreeze itself within a couple of minutes.
If I turn off the Xperia's Wi-Fi, the network goes back to being completely stable again all day. Turn the Xperia's Wi-Fi on and the router will freeze within 5 minutes and then again every 15-30 mins.
Google search tells me this is actually a fairly common problem with android devices but nobody seems to have any solution. I've upgraded my router's firmware, tried assigning my phone a static IP address, told the router to use g mode only, tried a range of different Wi-Fi channels, none of this had helped.
The problem happened on ICS as well as the recent Jelly Bean update.
Does anyone have any idea what my phone might be doing to screw up my router so much?
Thanks.
I have been noticing a lot of Wi-Fi disconnects while using my tablet and my phone. I keep getting disconnects and overall slower performance even though my internet is 30-D 5-U and i get better results then that with speed test on my computer but my phone speed test is about 12 down and 6 up when connected to Wi-Fi
My problem is this...
I can try to watch youtube through the youtube app and pick a crappy non HD video thats like 30 seconds long and spend 5 minutes waiting for THE AD to load... i Tried using the chrome browser and i get mildly better results... the video actually loads but buffers for 1 to 2 minutes for every 3 seconds of video i am shown.
So i tried to fix this by setting my router channel to 11 seeing as there are about 15 networks in range of me and i started getting better results.
then i had an issues with my computer getting ip conflicts if i turned it on while my phone was on the network since my PC was set to a static IP so i had to set my tablet and phone to a static aswel.
So.. after i did that i stopped getting the conflicts but now when i am playing Clash of Clans i keep getting disconnected... often... im licky if i can keep the game going long enough to do 1 attack without getting disco. (thats about 3 minutes if you never played the game)
so i dont know how to fix these disco's.. i am still getting slow overall performance from sites like youtube and even general internet searches at times. it seems like my router is refreshing or something and forcing my Wi-Fi connections to reconnect. If i have my tablet and my phone next to each other they do NOT lose connection at the same time but randomly. this issues makes no sense to me... i have no other ideas.
And before you suggest the "obvious" ive probably already tried it.
Router Linksys wrt160n
Tablet Asus eeepad TF201
Samsung Note 3 (t mobile)
Fresh install of windows (7 days old and problem was present before reset)
all drivers and firmware up to date
phone tablet and pc are all on static IP
NOTHING else is connected to my network or using my internet except my phone and tablet
i have no viruses / malware
my signal strength is EXCELLENT when i get disco and does not diminish during the disco
bump cause i m still having this issue... seems worse then before even. and its only mobile devices on my network or jst wifi connected devices.
what can i do to fix this
Hi. Yesterday I got my new Z3, and since then, I've had nothing but WiFi trouble.
My basic home setup:
Linksys EA4500
1 Mediapc with Plex installed
1 Sonos speaker
1 Chromecast connected to my TV
3 pads (samsung, sony tablet z)
Several android phones
Until yesterday (and exept with my Tablet Z - more on that later) my network works as supposed. All units can talk to each other, and most important, my phones and tablet can ALWAYS find and use my Sonos, Chromcast and Plex server. I have a Nexus 5, SGS3, SGS4 and more, and all are connected. Always. Without hickups.
Not so with the Z3. Althoug it says I'm connected - and I can indeed reach outside websites like cnn.com etc.. more often than not the in-house resources are unavailable. Early on I remembered that my Tablet Z had a similar issue, but turning off the Stamina modus on that one always solved the issue. Again, not so with my new Z3. No matter how many functions I turn off - starting with Stamina mode - I'm unable to reach my Plex server, find the Sonos or Chromecast devices. Also, restarting the device or the router don't seem to help either. Even more frustrating, suddenly the phone will find the resources, only to have them drop out again two minutes later... even if the screen was on all the time (did not go into stand-by).
I've turned off all the functions that was part of the reason I bought the phone...
I've changed the router setup to have mixed modes and all other tips I've found on the forums...
I've tried setting a static IP-adress for the phone on the router, and although it lists the phone, still no luck...
(beside the fact that all other devices still connect and work as expected)
I'm extremely frustrated. This is a premium device with a premium pricetag, and I cannot trust it to even connect and use my own WiFi setup.
So in short - please advice.

maybe the no. of devices connected to your router is limited? try removing some devices from your server and try it..
Settings > WiFi > Menu > Advanced > Uncheck "WiFi Optimisation"
See if this makes a difference as it disables all power saving features related to the wifi chip.
Mine was useless. But swapped router and seems fine now.
Try a factory reset on the router, clears all data but leaves original passwords and stuff, if you've not messed with the router, then it's a simple fix.
If you have messed with the router then it might be a setting you tweaked. So a reset may help.
Either way, worth a shot
I have four handheld Android devices and, currently, 3 standalone WAPs plus Verizon's FIOS router.
.
None of the four devices can maintain a connection to any of the standalone WAPs or the router for more than a half-second or so: they solicit the PW, Authenticate, connect briefly, and then drop the connection.
.
I normally have only one WAP, but added the two just to make sure the problem was not in the WAP. Ditto Verizon's router, whose WiFi is normally turned off, but turned on now for troubleshooting.
.
For the life of me, I cannot think of any changes I have made in the week leading up to the onset of this problem.
.
One of the standalone WAPs is an Orbi Mesh system, but currently with no satellites - the satellites having started to act weird with onset of the problem and therefore having been turned off.
.
I also have two instances of AndroidTV running: one on a Sony Bravia TV and the other on an NVIDIA SHIELD box. And, weirdly, both of them are able to hold a WiFi connection - but UNABLE to hold a Ethernet cable connection. Same appearance as the handhelds over WiFi: connection gets dropped, only almost instantly so the screen just kind of vibrates with the connected.
.
If I turn off all standalone WAPs, leaving only the WAP in the Verizon router, the problem persists - with the Verizon router's WAP on channel three and, according to the WiFi Manager Android app, no competing signal sources on channel 3.
.
The problem persists even with the handhelds within 10 feet of the various WAPs.
This started about a week ago. Before that, no problems. And I don't *think* I have changed anything.
Right now, the only thing between me and hiring somebody to troubleshoot the problem is the weirdness of the problem - and the fear that their billing by the hour could cost me too much.
Can anybody point me in some direction?
Hey guys,
So basically I drive a 2016 Volvo V70 (car model not so important tbh) and before I got my Galaxy N20U I used to have an iPhone 8+.
At the time when I connected it to my car's bluetooth system, things used to run quite perfectly when playing music. Using the car's buttons I could rewind and fast-forward songs by pressing and holding in apps like Spotify.
Now with the Galaxy N20U, answering calls works sorta well, and I can skip songs forwards and backwards by short-pressing the car buttons, BUT I can't "slide" or "seek" the tracks, as in fast-forward or backwards, like I used to be able to do with the iPhone. I did all sorts of basic troubleshooting like unpairing and repairing the phone, resetting, trying other music players; but the problem still persists.
I messed around with the bluetooth connection type in Developer Mode settings on the Galaxy, but tbh I don't really understand what the settings mean or which one should be right. I'm not really aware what bluetooth version my car has either, but I think it would be an older version since it's 2014-2016 technology.
How can I fix it or tune the settings of the Galaxy in order to solve this? Or are there any apps I could install which fixes this issue?
Another problem with the Galaxy's BT connection is with my Windows 10 laptop. It's a pretty new laptop (HP Spectre 15 x360 2019) running the latest version of Windows 10.
Basically I did what everyone would do and I linked my Samsung to Windows, so I could have a similar continuity experience like Mac/iPhones have, like having a stable and automatic connection, picking up calls and texts from your laptop, and most importantly that your phone shares hotspot automatically through Bluetooth tethering when you're outside of home.
I tried several things like linking and unlinking through Microsoft's "Link Your Phone", and even tried with Samsung's Dex. I tried with both functions on, or one of them being unlinked.
The problem still persists, that it's not an automated and constant connection between the laptop and the phone, and that especially when it comes to automatic bluetooth tethering; then I always have to do it manually through clicking through several menus on Windows and creating an Access Point connecting to Bluetooth like some sort of a LAN connection. Every single time. And even when this connection is established, I'd see a LAN icon on the status bar (instead of signal bars) and when I expand the menu, it doesn't even list the current connection it is on (like "Samsung bla bla bla: Connected"). Instead I just get nearby WiFi networks and that it's searching. I DO get internet though and it works fine for the most part, but once I leave the room and the phone gets out of the range, or I put the laptop to standby, then I have to repeat the process all over again.
Even when I opt to sharing internet from my phone to the laptop through normal WiFi hotspot, I notice that the connection drops frequently.
To summarize, when it comes to both the car and my laptop, my Galaxy N20U does connect to them and offers the basic functionalities of the BT connection, BUT it misses other basic functionalities and it tends to be a half-baked, unstable connection.
Please help me out with this! Running the latest versions of softwares on all the named devices here.
For now turn off Developer options.
Clear the system cache on the boot menu
Reset network connections.
Pretty harmless and it may fix it...
dont have that problem
