Ok just bought unlocked essential phone and using it on Verizon. My issue is wonky wifi with a twist I haven't read anybody else having. It shows strong signal on both 5 GHz and 2.4. but when connected to WiFi it's slow and throttles all other devices to buffer while attached. Thanks in advance if anyone can help.
Nothing? Ok thanks anyway fellas......

I have this problem as well. I end up using my cellular data most of the time because of it.

Have you tried other wifi routers?
No but not interested in changing router to please one device you know.
Just as a test, go in to your router's Wireless Quality of Service (QoS) settings and try to disable Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM). I'm more curious than anything as to whether or not that makes a difference.

Yes!! I flashed the DCD rom on my friend's Mogul, and the wifi does not work. It activates, but it does not find any networks. I thought this was a hardware problem and suggested the HTC warranty or an insurance claim to my friend. But not, maybe not..
no, no...i think it is a hardware prob... it works sometimes for me with the OEM rom..and not other times.
what the hell is up with this!! it's the most annoying thing ever. I'm running dcd 1.6.10 and the signals (which are abundant) are only detected a small portion of the time and an even smaller portion of those times am I actually able to use the internet. so frustrating!
Im sure we all know that the atrix has serious data connection issues. Mine disconnects all the time. Motorola has promised an update, but god knows when that is. I was wondering if there is anyone here who've tried to fix this? You guys are probably smarter than Motorola anyways.
Pretty sure this is the wrong section to post this question, but anyway, mine hasn't dropped data once.

Funny, but I have the same issue. My data constantly drop. I notice it more when coming out of standby. Also, when I am on a call, I'm unable to surf or use data--never had that issue before.
I haven't done much looking into the root cause, because I have been to busy tinkering. One idea I had was to swap my SIM for a new one, as I have had this one for quite some time. Just a thought.
On more thing.
I keep my battery profile on battery saver. Maybe that's the issue. I will do more investigating and report back.
Sorry if this is the wrong section.
I've tried hard resetting the phone and I have changed my sim. Im following the motorola support forums and this is a common issue.
I think they are working for a patch.
I just figured that it wouldnt hurt to ask and see if you guys have figured it out and fixed it on your own.
"Notice
This Mode may disconnect you cellular data connection after a period of activity"
quoted from the battery manager when you select battery saver.
make sure don't use it if you want your data connection on all the time

Well, I have the performance mode and my wifi disconnects all the time, even right beside my router. It's definitely a big bug, but it seems not all of us are suffering it.

I do't think that's the issue being discussed here.
WiFi connection and network data connections are not the same and are controlled differently.

I did notice the wifi randomly losing its connection (sometimes really frequently) while using school wifi even though my laptop's wifi was fine at the same time... but I never had a problem on my home wifi (with DD-WRT ). The Atrix wifi drivers must not like certain types of AP's.
P.S. I'm using Nighttime saver.
No issues whatsoever with data for me. Atrix net connectivity is rock solid.

same problem here on my focus too, wifi does not work correctly, when enabled and fallback on 3g is worse
1, install and run samsung tool
2, checked all the item
3, click the reboot.
The one thing that's keeping me from fully enjoying my new Nexus 4---hassles with radios, both wifi & cellular.
1) On my home wifi network on all devices except the Nexus 4 I see solid, constant download speeds of 25Mbps. My Nexus 4 consistently only gives me 4-6Mbps. If I disconnect/reconnect sometimes I can see speeds slightly higher than that, but only temporarily. This isn't generally a huge deal because 4-6Mbps is fast enough for most things on a phone, it just bugs me that every other device in the house gets 25Mbps.
2) Of bigger annoyance is my cellular data connection, it drops off multiple times per day. The cellular signal strength indicates full bars, along with the 'H' icon indicating I'm connected to T-Mobiles HSPA+ network. Voice still works fine but the data connection is dead--nothing will connect--Speedtest, maps, Google Search, Facebook, etc. This forces me to either turn on/off Airplane mode or reboot the phone completely to regain my cellular data connection. On my previous SGS2 I never experienced this issue. It drives me nuts to not be able to pull up a phone number, directions etc at the times I need it most.
Does anybody have any similar experiences or suggestions on how to remedy these issues?
Edit---FYI I'm fully stock but rooted. 4.2.1 update not yet applied.
1) Check APN settings and make sure your account is properly provisioned by calling T-Mo CSRs. I had a similar issue with my Nexus One back in the day that was fixed with a reboot after they reprovisioned my account.
2) Flash factory image, in case it was a bad flash of the radio. It happens.
3) If 1 & 2 fails, or you don't want to try #2, call the Nexus hotline and get yourself a replacement.

Called TMobile and had them reset my account, I'll keep an eye on it the next couple of days.
Right now I'm downloading a cached Google map via WiFi and it is slooooow.
I also notice on edge the signal is inconsistent.
Hi
The Wi-Fi issue is something happening to others, seems to be a driver bug.

Wifi connectivity is my biggest gripe. I'll step 6 feet away from my router and I lose a bar. A couple rooms away I fluctuate between 1 and 0 bars.

Did you ever find a cure for this? I am having the exact same issues on my O2UK Nexus 4, anytime I want to use the data connection its almost guaranteed not to work and involve reboots, Airplane mode on and off etc
Im having the same issues. My data just drops wifi and cellular. I dont get full signal wifi or cellular. I live in india and flashed the latest .54 which was released in india recently. I managed to at least get cellular data going but my strength still low and data drops still on both wifi and cellular. Its super frustrating. Any ideas?
try reflashing the OS on your phone and try changing the wifi channel on your router.
changing the channel on my wireless router really helped signal to all of my devices. there may be lots of interference on the channel you're on.

I may reflash OS but i just got the phone today so ill slow down a bit. I flashed the radio one would think that would be enough? Anyway I have many other devices on my wifi without an issue and i used wifi analyser and theres no overlap with other routers and i experience this on 2g 3g and wifi so it looks like some modem problem. Unfortunately the phone was bought 3 months ago in the States and im here in india so im kind of stuck
There are known issues with the Nexus 4 wifi speeds slowing for no apparent reason. Also, known issues with the LOS (loss of signal). You can find information and bug reports on both of these issues.

I dad see some threads reporting this issue. Unfortunately i dont see any solutions or resolved threads. Additionally people either have it they dont as i see it i cant see people witching sides. Its just a little frustrating. Any opinions on whether kernel swapping will help?
Did a full flash from scratch. No progress. Also i went to my friends place and signal was perfect for like 4 hrs straight but every other place ive been since has seen choppy signal.

Pretty bad. I ran a test a few weeks ago and I can go up to 450 feet from my router (old Linksys) without a problem, and after that it gets iffy, and finally disconnects at 500 feet. I am seeing an average of 20 Mbps on wifi. Now if I can only get my cellular connection (non-wifi) to go faster than 1 Mpbs max I would have a usable phone.
I have a slightly diff issue.
If I reboot my phone, I connect to my router no problem. If I turn wifi off (to save battery) and then turn it back on.... it shows my AP's as out of range.... but I do see my neighbours AP's. I also have an N10 with has no issues at all with wifi (and none of my other divises have issues either).
When I bought the N4 they seemed to be having an issue with it when setting it up.... but I was not paying close attention. I am wondering if I have a bad phone on top of the "normal" wifi issues that other are experiencing.
Think I will revert back to stock and swap it for another phone to see if I can at least just turn off / on the wifi rather then reboot to connect (how sad is that?)

**** UPDATE ****
I picked up a cheap belkin router and set it to AP mode.
My N4 has no issues at all with it. Connects when I want it to right away and is fast / solid connection.
Hi guys have you ever tried using your m3 for streaming connected to a blutooth speaker or headphone? My speed drops to 80% and becomes unstable once i connected my blutooth to a device.. do you have this issue as well? I mean from 80mbps it drops to around 5-20mbps it is ridiculous
This has been a huge issue for me. Most of the info I have gotten about it online says that the 2.4ghz wifi and Bluetooth are known to sometimes interfere with each other. That is my major reason for wanting to root this and enable the 5ghz band. I have already changed the wifi channels on my router and that didn't work. I guess I am gun shy about rooting since it has been a few years since I have done it and I haven't seen a comprehensive root guide for this yet (not looking too hard yet).

So does this mean that this has been an m3 issue? My Note 5 does not have this issue. It is so annoying I cannot properly play spotify and at the same time use my blutooth speaker. what a waste .
Have you tried resetting it?
Even turning it on... affects wifi
Even if it is not connected to anything. If I just turn it on wifi speed becomes very slow....
All I can say is that it is definitely noticeable when Bluetooth is on, I have a 200 megabit bit connection, it will buffer Netflix almost unwatchable. I did some quick Googleing and found lots of references across many devices saying that there was interference. I have not reset the device, after seeing it was a known problem and not necessarily device specific I figure the hell with it. Again, rooting and turning on the 5ghz wifi on the M3 solves it.

Tried hard resetting the unit. Same issue... once connected to my blutooth speaker it degrades my wifi internet speed to almost 90%.
Post #23 on the forum linked below tells you how to enable 5ghz network after root. If you successfully root I would love a tutorial or link to instructions.

but I have the BTV-DL09 model.
The DL09 is the lte international one, correct? Then I believe you have the ability to use 5GHz out of the box. You just need a router that puts out 5ghz
Sent from my BTV-W09 using Tapatalk
That's what I am planning to do. But isn't weird that using the 2.4 ghz wifi and blutooth cannot work together? Im hoping for a fix for this one. I refuse to buy a new router just for this. My god! ??
I bought the BTV-DL09 (international) version and experiencing the same. I am connected to a 5Ghz network and speed drop from > 200Mbps to < 40Mbps (sometimes less than 20 Mbps) as soon as I enable Bluetooth. This sucks as I use Bluetooth headphones and sometime audio stutters too and definitely looks like there is interference between Bluetooth and Wifi

Same issue on BTV-W09. I've been on chat with Huawei for this issue multiple times, and they want you to delete cache and/or reset unit to resolve this issue. This is a bogus solution, as my two recently purchased Mediapad M3s have the same issue after trying this fix. I have a 20mbps download, and can achieve close to that with bluetooth off.
With it on, if often tests lower than 5mbps--quite terrible. Netflix becomes unwatchable with bluetooth headphones.
According to a Huawei agent, the bluetooth and wi-fi antenna are the same, and it is "normal" to see this slowdown. I'm wondering if it is normal to purchase a media device that won't stream properly when using bluetooth headphones? Hmmm, should't promote this as a media device but as a reader if that is the case.
I'm suppose to communicate again with Huawei tech support on 12/05/17 as they further research this issue. They seem unaware of it, so it wouldn't hurt if all users on this thread would contact there tech support and complain--ask for a proper solution.
I spoke to Huawei about this issue and they told me it was a hardware issue that the tablet should not be having. The agent said to send it in to them for replacement or to exchange it where I purchased it. He said a new one shouldn't have the same issue.
I plan on exchanging it, but I'm wondering if anyone has an M3 that doesn't have this issue. It's gonna be a bummer to exchange it only to have the same problem.

Yeah, me too, waiting for an update. I have toggled Bluetooth on/off, location on/off it only really becomes a problem when Bluetooth and wifi are on at the same time. Wifi crawls. If I found an easy way to root it, I would then allow 5ghz and be done with this.

Hi!
I use 5ghz and still face WIFI crawling with my BT headphones.
Pretty ridiculous problem from Huawei IMHO. Like we are back in 90s.
Oh, that's unfortunate, I was hoping the 5ghz would solve the issue. Well, the bright spot in this is that I only really use my Bluetooth QC35II headphones when I'm on an airplane and in airplane mode so not too much of an issue there.
