My router is Huawei EchoLife EG8145V5.
Ever since I used this router, the phone doesn't connect to internet anymore. It's connected to the wifi but not on internet. I already factory reset the phone but the problem is still there.
have you tried different device to test the wifi?

Yes, other phones doesn't have any problems with it.
i will be direct to the point with you okay?
your phone only cost $40 and upon reading about your phone review i have seen 5 different comment complaining poor wifi connectivity also that phone is released around november of 2015 which make it 6 years old already in service ... so i would recommend i guess buying new phone at least $200 for decent specs
eh, that's my last resort. There's probably another way because I didn't had any issues with the phone when I was using my other router.
Solved it by changing the router's wireless mode from b/g/n to b/g.

I just got a new G Tablet as a Christmas present and had a chance last night to charge it up. Then this morning I turned it on an attempted to establish a Wifi connection from my NetGear router, but with no success. I went into settings, and it found my wifi, but when it tried to connect, it just would say "disconnected . . . Connected . . . Disconnected. . .
I have two laptops that work fine with this router. Should I go out and pick up a new router? I'm excited to get the new update, but I first need a wifi connection.
No Sir. Your router is not the problem.
My WiFi on the GTablet was doing the same thing. Apparently there's different errors than pop up on different GTabs like the battery error. These were made in China so we can't necessarily count on everything being the best quality...hence the screen.
That said, there's several ways to temporarily fix the problem without flashing a new rom. There's a thread in this GTab forum which covers them all. I usually had to turn airplane mode on and then turn it off so I could manually connect to my router.
However, there are firmware updates from Viewsonic now and the TNT Lite 3.00 rom I'm running completely got rid of that error. I connect without any trouble whatsoever.
I would advise downloading the latest VS Stock update from the forum here and flashing it through recovery mode. This may be confusing, but if you read up a bit in the Development forum, you'll be upgrading and connecting in no time.

I agree with your comment except for the above. The problem with the screen is not that it is made in China, it is that Malata chose a cheap screen to use in the product in order to keep costs down in order to be able for their OEM resellers, such as Viewsonic, to be able to sell the device at a much lower price than competing tablets. This is my personal take on this and YMMV.

I'm not sure where any of the parts were made. I do know the tablet was assembled in China which means your assessment would probably be correct.
The WiFi on stock roms as Roebeet suggested in another forum has always been an issue until recently. Which would imply that despite the materials used to make this tablet, drivers and firmware could fix most of the issues.
Hi guys. Recently I purchased a used nexus 5 off of eBay, and I am having some trouble getting it to connect to my WiFi. When I received the phone, wifi was working. it was on 4.4. I unlocked the bootloader, and installed twrp, but did not root it yet. I did OTAs up to 6.0.1, and then I started having issues. Upon turning on WiFi, the phone would just say "turning on WiFi", and never show me any networks. I thought this might be a kernel problem so I tried many different ones, but no luck. I used the nexus factory image to downgrade to 4.4 because the WiFi was working then, but still no luck. It will very rarely connect, but it will loose connection after a few seconds, and continue searching. I looked in the settings and realized that my MAC address showed " unavalible", so I used this guide to change it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...icked-nexus-5-externel-storage-t2740471/page5
Now the Mac address shows up in settings, but I still can't get it to connect to WiFi networks for more than a few seconds if the WiFi even turns on.
Any help would be gladly appreciated! Thanks.
I had the same problem with two nexus 5 phones. The WiFi chip seems to have failed on both. After changing the motherboard in both phones, WiFi was working without issues. The only thing I changed in both phones was the motherboard.
Before changing the motherboards, I could never get WiFi to work with all combinations of roms, kernels, and boot images.
If you satisfy the following:
- the phone doesn't connect to any WiFi network on full stock unmodified software
- other devices connect to the same WiFi networks without issue (sanity check )
Then almost certainly a hardware issue with the phone. No amount of modding or flashing is likely to change this.
Ok, thanks
Have any suggestions on where to buy a motherboard? Don't really want to spend a hundred bucks.
I purchased a couple of nexus 5 phones with smashed screens for a low price and swapped out the motherboards.
Hi
I bought my honor 8 two months ago, and it was working fine until this morning. The internet through the wi-fi connection suddenly became slow. It works for my girlfriend's phone, and both of our laptops, and my phone works fine in other wi-fi networks. This problem is only with our home wi-fi. I checked the speed with speedtest app, and after about two minutes of waiting, it showed the right speed, but surfing is painfully slow.
I did a hard reset on the router, and a cache wipe on my phone, but did not hard reset my phone, because it works on other wi-fi networks.
So my question is: what do you think is the problem?
Thank you for your answers!
Same problem
I have exactly same problem!
Are you using the Nougat beta on your device?
No, I'm using 6.0. Also I did a hard reset on my phone this morning, out of frustration, and still no luck.
I'm not seeing a way to pull up this info right now, but the b360 (Nougat latest beta for frd-l04) release notes mentioned that the "small-packet" wifi problem was "solved" with the latest beta. I updated to it via Charles method and the problem is solved for me. I had it in M6, N7 b320, but it went away with b360.
The way this particular problem manifested was during say, an app update of ~10 or more MB , you would only get about 300-400Kb at a time, so it was ~10 times as slow as it should be on wifi. If you turned off wifi you could see the difference because it would only take a single 10MB chunk to do the update. I don't know if it's the same problem, but it sure was a nice help for my case.
The strange thing is that my connection is normal on paper (speedtest shows the normal speed, but after about 2 mins of waiting), and download speed seem ok too. E.g. I updated one of my apps, and there was about 1 min waiting also, but then download was fast. But surfing and stuff, is slow, but just on my home wi-fi, and just for me. I it tried with different phone, it was working fine, and I tried my phone on other wi-fi network, and that was also fine. That's why I don't understand it.

My phone always showed as normal on Speedtest, which is why I think speedtest is worthless for testing speed ;. What if speedtest is just testing ping response? I don't know what it's doing, but it's a blackbox app that does what it does.
I would be more interested in app behavior results. Browsers should populate pages quickly on wifi, and if they do, then there's no good reason to go to a "speedtest". If they don't well, there's your real speedtest. Or, download something fairly big from the app store (it doesn't have to be anything you'll keep or use, just something over 10MB) and watch each chunk / packet. If they're < 500K each, then you've got that problem that I had.
Google Play uses TCP and UDP 5228 port. Maybe there is a limitation on that port. Ookla speedtest uses only port 8080. I'm not sure what's going on there. I could always see the problems on 5228.
I recently got this phone and find the wi-fi performance slow. My old xperia z2 could get the speeds I'm paying for which is 74mbs but the honour gets about 40mbs
Thank you for all your advices, but I honestly tried everything. I hard resetted my router and phone, I went through all the settings, and still the same. At this point I'm just waiting for a miracle.

Have you tried connecting to another WiFi network to see if you experience the same problem? If you do then I would contact Honor directly and ask them for assistance. They will probably request that you send your device back to them for repairs.

I tried my phone on two different wi-fi networks, and it was working fine. The problem is with only my home wifi, and only for me (2 other devices get normal speeds). And it started suddenly about 2 days ago, without any settings change in either on the router nor phone.
Since then I factory resetted the router, and the phone, and I've gone through pretty much every settings I could, and still no change.
I contacted my ISP today, they will send someone to look at my router. If they find out that the router is fine, then I contact Honor. But I really hope that the router is the problem.
I will write down the outcome of this strange problem, once it get fixed, maybe it will be help for someone in the future.
Thanks again for all your advices.

Do you have a dual band router? If you do try switching to a different WiFi band, could be that the WiFi band your Honor 8 is connected to is congested.

I tried this afternoon with an another android 6.0 phone (A5 2016) that was working fine in the past, and now it gets the same reception as mine. So I'm sure that the router is the problem.
I update the situation after the repair.

In that case there is definately something wrong with your router. Hopefully your ISP can fix it for you.
Everything is smooth and perfect except Wifi.
I can found close wifi networks (Mobile hotspots created by other phones) but if I try to connect it just saves them, cannot connect to any wifi networks.
And the strength is too low. It is unable to find my room's wifi ...!!
So I am just totally unable to use wifi in my Pixel :/
Also I turn on Hotspot on my Pixel, it turns on but I cannot find it from other devices.
Also upgraded from 8.1.0 to 9.0 but still same issue.
Without Wifi its so miserable experience Any Solution?????
Yeah, same issue. It's a hardware thing. If you've dropped your phone either the cable came loose or the PCB board is off. I threw mine before (long story) but can't use wifi nor Bluetooth without being close to what I'm connected to.
I just don't feel like fixing it considering the pixel can break by repair. Plus, my 6p is my DD anyway
Dang, I gave my sister this phone and this problem just appeared. Time to look for a new phone for her.
Ok, being real for a second, this worked and I know it is a VERY BAD workaround but can help in a pinch.
I bought a refurb pixel on woot. Took a while to get it because it was sent to a friend's PO box and then brought to mexico, ergo no warranty.
Unboxed it and had this exact same issue; little to no signal on very few wifi hotspots and just "saving"
Seeing as this might be hardware related as @creep138 mentioned, I tried the following:
PRESS considerably hard on the point that the antenna connector should be.
After a couple of seconds of force and massaging, wifi came on and connected.
I KNOW this is a bad idea, I KNOW this might cause several issues on the long run, but if you have it sitting in a drawer doing nothing because of this issue, give it a try.
For reference this was done on a Verizon Black Pixel. The small one. and the point to apply pressure to is about half an inch below the camera and flash module.
Hope this helps

Status update:
After doing what I have already described, that helped to connect to the wifi at my workplace. Nonetheless I didn't have suck luck with my home wifi.
After reading here and there, some users reported the device connecting to 5Ghz wifi no problem. My work is indeed 5Ghz and my home is 2.4
After unpacking and installing a 5Ghz capable router, the pixel connected no problem to it (after applying the aforementioned pressure)
Hope this helps
Hello all!
I have a S10e, running stock Android 10. The wifi at my house constantly disconnects and reconnects, rendering my phone as virtually useless, as it switches between my mobile network and wifi. I have tried all of the trouble shooting I've found online, just short of a full backup/master reset. I'm trying to avoid that.
Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this? Better yet, how can I fix it? I'm rather annoyed, as I've had several Samsung Galaxy phones that have had minor issues, but nothing as annoying as this. I'm about to buy another model phone.
Thanks in advance

Hi, I have the S10e G970F_MMI - Singapore Snapdragon. Similar issues with wifi and bluetooth turning off immediately after update. Got one message from Wi-Fi control history that said Google Play services turned off wi-fi. I tried disconnecting Play services but that did not help however I am suspicious that it might also have something to do with Bixby Routines. Tried Samsung but no help as my phone is only 13 months old and 1 month out of warranty and I am not in Singapore but stuck in UK. Like you, I am a long time Samsung client with phones, tablets and TV's but I have now lost confidence in them. I tried factory reset and reflashing the custom ROM but no luck. I do hope that you can resolve your wi-fi issue and have a wonderful New Year.
Apparently, Samsung admitted the S10 series suffers from this issue. I noticed it on mine, just in the last month or two, disconnecting intermittently roughly every 30 minutes. I thought it might have been my router, but I realized it's definitely my phone (S10e US snapdragon).
Nothing I tried fixed it. I did disable "wi-fi power saving mode" and wifi auto connect (I have tasker auto re-connect wifi when it disconnects).
I do have "wi-fi san throttling" enabled in developer options, which shouldn't have anything to do with this. HOWEVER, you might try "wi-fi safe mode" under developer options and see if that helps keep it more persistent.
One other suggestion, though it shouldn't matter, is to try assigning a specific IP address to your phone (do this from your router settings, not your phone). And you can search for other solutions online to cut down on radio interference on your home network. Other devices and neighbors might be disrupting the router signal strength, possibly dropping it below a level that causes your phone to drop wifi.
I got the same problem before, used an Asus router. I changed to a Qualcomm chip router and its fixed. Try a different router?

Unfortunately I cannot, as the router I have is from my internet provider. I would have to run that to another router and at that point it's just a waste of money. Thank you for the info though! If I get annoyed enough I may buy a cheap router to see if it fixes the problem.
