Hey guys. I have noticed ever since i've gotten my Atrix that the wifi is always getting dropped when im inside a bedroom or some 20 ft away from the router. At first i thought it might have been just my router having issues but my laptop never experienced any wifi droppage like that though. The only times i don't get dropped signals are when im actually right infront of my router
I've read that sim-unlocked devices may experience this issue but mine isn't, or at least i don't think it is. I bought it from n AT&T store and im pretty sure they wouldn't sell an unlocked device, ever...
So my question is then, has anyone found a solution to this? I mean it's starting to become a real big hassle having to wait for my connection to come back up so i can continue using my phone
Even if you don't have a solution, please post here if you are also having the same issues because i'd like to know if its just my phone thats defective or not. My brother also bought an Atrix lest than a month ago and its having the same issue so i have no clue if either both our devices are defective or if its a general issues most users are having, cause if so, i think Atrix users should either get a refund or at least an update to fix this issue.
I have the same exact issue on my Bell atrix.

Same here as well.
No issues with previous devices or the 9700, Torch, Captivate or iPhone that others in the household use or my laptop come to that. Just the Atrix.
Mine is just rooted and currently running GreyBlur but not unlocked.
Just down loaded WiFi Analyzer from the Market to see if that can shed light on the issue.
make sure that you are not on a battary save or custom battary mode, cuz it's droping the wifi connection every time the phone goes to sleep mode.

O thx was trying to figure it out

by default wifi goes to sleep as soon as the display goes off. you need to get into advanced wifi settings (wifi settings->menu->advanced) and change sleep policy to never
Now that is a useful bit of info
Thankyou !
Its not the sleep policy all tho that'll help the majority of ppl here. Mine drops during certain load points like getting updates from market or refreshing xda... Now to be honest after flashing the telstra rom it has disappeared.
Hopefully that little bit of code that capped our atrix was the culprit and an update will fix that bad boy
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Yeah I've always had my phone set to performance mode and had the wifi sleep policy always set to never. But still the problem persists
But I guess ill try out the 1.4.2 SBC since that sewed to remedy the problem for one user. Nit sure if it'll work for me though cause I'm w att and that SBF seems to be for Bell Atrixs.

Wifi & GPS signal on my phone just sucks, so I requested a new device from ATT warranty/exchange department. It should be here next week. I hoped we would get an update to address this yesterday, but I only know of 2-3 people receiving an update this week.

Yep, i have this problem as well. Haven't seen this on LG Optimus X2, also i've got SE Mini X10 for my mom a few days ago and it's behaves much better in this respect, does not drops wi-fi at all. My Atrix drops wi-fi every 10-15 minutes when in the far room, other android phones, nokia phones, laptops and netbooks does not drop connection in the same place, so it's certainly Atrix problem. Let's hope the fix will come

Am I missing something? I don't think the Bell Atrix has its SBF release. Are you thinking of the Telstra Atrix's SBF?
I found this app called Wifi fixer: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.wahtod.wififixer
Has anyone tried this?
I've noticed my Wifi dropping after 10-20 minutes of being used. It's very annoying. Bell Atrix with sim unlock and rooted
Are you holding it wrong?

To be honest the updates did very little to fix anything... The HSPA+ speeds are dismal and you can barely tell any difference between your previous speeds and new speeds if you're in a 4G area but one thing for sure that the updates did do was, not surprisingly, unrooted us =]
And for us lucky ones with Atrices (same plurality as matrices?) that have wifi issues, Moto was kind enough to not fix this issues which was most likely software and not hardware, as they rolled out 2 OTA's in nice timely fashions!

I don't live in an area with bad reception and apparently the X10 doesn't suffer from antennagate (sic), I haven't been able to reproduce this problem at all. Thats why I asked this question.
Makes me wonder if this problem has been there all along? However, the guy in the blog post does mention that the update to R2BA020 did resolve his problem... and others claim that it exits in R2BA020 also (see earlier posts), so I don't really know whats the truth value behind this claim.

Dude... isnt airplane mode supposed to turn off all radios off anyways?
Anyways, the reported issue seems to be more like a side effect of the cellular reception dropping... which in turn causes wifi to loose connection as well.

If you're using switchpro widgets you have the option to turn off network signal keeping wifi on (even GPS or Bluetooth) with the airplane mode.
Yup. Its back. WiFi only remains on when I'm in an area where I wouldn't need to be using WiFi anyway. Great.
I use WiFi (or used to, prior to this last update) at home where the reception is poor. I can just about get a GSM signal indoors, 3G is out of the question, and even then my phone will frequently drop its connection altogether. Before this last update it wasn't too much of a problem as the WiFi remained on regardless of the quality or presence of a mobile signal.
Now I'm back to the good old days of losing my WiFi every time my X10 hunts for a new cell.
for me the same as always! gsm connection drop and so wifi connection....damn SE!!!
Confirmed bug exists in BA023.
I am in an area with poor gsm coverage and when I loose gsm connection I also loose wifi connection. I have to wait until I get gsm connection again and disable-enable wifi to get wifi working. Note that my wifi access point is 2meters from my phone.
I hope this get solved soon.

What's the "Wifi bug"?
I've never had any problems with connecting to my wifi network. Then again, I almost never have less than 3 bars with my phone signal.
Yep its back.. I live in a poor signal area and it now keeps cutting out each time I lose gsm signal and each time it comes back.
Battery is a lot better as well and the unlock swipe seems more smoother.
One step forward one step back!

Cus i already did that ruu that football posted and i cant downgrade i already know about the hboot issue so dont flame me about wanting to unroot i already know that was a fail lol
Please help!! Im so damn frustrated with this update! I do have better battery life but thats about it my gps kinda acts weird as well also my 4g seems to not connect where it used to idk?anyone have any info on how i can get it up and running like.a evo shift not a overclock hero lol

A lot of people has issues with the upgrade. I have a evo flashed to metropcs and I lost my mobile network. Other than that battery life is improved but sometimes screen is lagging, white htc screen takes to much time when i switch from application to home screen and camera app doesn't start sometimes till i restart the phone. so upgrade messed me up so bad too
well if you got it from here i am guessing its still rooted so i would say d/l a new rom and start over if your not rooted there not much you can do if you like stock rom use this one if not look for a different one

Gingerbread has made my "Smart Phone" essentially useless as a Smart Phone. It wasn't great with FROYO to begin with due to the interface resetting every time I used my web browser, but now after the Gingerbread update the damn phone resets after almost every app I use!
I'm on my way to the Sprint store right now. I use my phone for work and this is making it unusable for me. They at the very least need to get me back to FROYO, or it's time for an entirely different phone I suppose.
Lol cool let me know what happens with your phone and sprint i wanna take it in or call but i just havent really tried cus its software and sprint usually doesnt wanna do anything with it cus they wanna see the problem which is very hard to duplicate since the 2.3.3 starts to fail randomly lol

I had problems
I had issues with the internal clock not updating even though the sense clock read correct, constant white screens, this update should have waited a bit in my opinion.
The update bricked the CDMA radio so bad Sprint is now sending me another Shift which I should get tomorrow. This one will only do CDMA - 1xRTT and won't even go into CDMA - EvDo rev.A at all after the update. In fact, using the ##debug# dial code and selecting EVDO Engineering, this Shift reports '<Failed>' in every field. Even a Sprint network re-provision did not fix it. Since I pay the $7 per month replacement fee, I'm guessing that I should get a 'new' Shift vice a refurb hopefully. At this point I'll be happy to get EvDo rev.A back and live with the Sense reloads because 1xRTT is way too SLOW to do much of anything!
Another bug on it that annoys the sh$$ outta me is when u use the camera or camcorder it sets the brightness level all the way up.thats a reason my phone was getting kinda hot lol

Has anyone else here had issues with the Droid X having cellular network disconnect issues?
What I mean by this is that the 3G stops all together, you cannot make outbound calls or SMS messages. The 3G icon goes away, yet I can see bars on the antenna strength meter.
The only way to fix this is to reboot the phone, even putting in airplane mode doesn't work. It happens about every 1.5 to 2 days on this phone. I've factory reset it, gotten a replacement phone, etc.. Nothing works and it all started with the Gingerbread update.
I'm not the only one I can tell you that, many others on the moto forum are having it too.. https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/52111
I have an ADB logcat that I could send to some folks smarter than me if someone wants to look..

There must be something unique that you are doing. I burn about 2200 min a month of cell time, and I've had no issues.
Yeah that happens to me, I sbf back to froyo, and now I'm on liberty rom, no more cell disconnect
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I'm to the point where I want to get away from Motorola all together.. This phone has always been quirky, now its just totally unreliable. I have an HTC incredible (CM7) and have 0 issues with this, so I know its not a cell reliability issue in my area.
I can tell you that I ran CM7 for a few days on the DX with no issues at all. However CM7 has a few other annoyances that the wife didn't want to deal with.
I'm working with Verizon and it sounds like they're to the point of offering up a different phone..
I was having a similar issue. Spent countless minutes on tech support with vzw, countless resets, even sent me a replacement phone and had the same issue. Determined it was google voice at fault. Had to do a factory reset from the moto bootloader (not from settings/privacy), and it finally solved the issue.
If you're using google voice, try getting rid of it, and disconnecting it from your phone.

Hi,I'm now having these issues and more since gingerbread. Sad thing is, I had NO issues with this phone while on froyo. Verizon wants to do a complete factory reset, but that means i'd lose everything on the phone. I have it all backed up, but it takes a while to set up the damn thing the way I have it. I feel if tat what Verizon recommends, they should help set it back up.
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA Premium App
After dealing with the issue with Verizon they agreed to let me swap the phone out for a different phone. The only rule was no 4G or no iPhone. Right now we settled on the HTC Incredible 2. I have the original Incredible, while the HTC software isn't perfect, but at least I haven't had these issues..
Bye bye Motorola.. Another plus, if this HTC has issues, as least I can run CM7 easily now..
I had(?) the same problem
history:
before upgrading to 2.3.3 my Droid X was on Froyo and rooted. In fine noob fashion I deleted bloatware during that time without backing it up so when I attempted to updated to Gingerbread I was **** blocked.
The resolution was to SBF the phone back to stock Froyo then upgread to Gingerbread, it worked like a champ... sorta
I kept noticing that the phone was really sluggish on reboots, it also kept dropping the network connection, mostly when I moved out of a wifi hotspot, the 3G wouldn't connect, not until I rebooted. I tried a few things, uninstalled misc programs blah blah blah, some of it seemed to have worked temporarily but nothing was permanent.
So, yesterday, I did a Factory Data Reset, actually had to do it 3x's since the first 2 times somehow goofed the market so that it wouldn't download and install . But 3rd time was the winner and now everything seems resolved, no more whacked out loss data connections and faster reboots!
so my suggestion - Factory Data Reset
I totally agree. Vzw tier 1 tech support can be a waste of time. After taking 30 minutes to tell me to turn on wifi, one guy told me to right click on the settings menu. I told him it was a touch screen, does that mean I have to use my right hand?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I have the same problem on rooted OTA gingerbread. My solution for the time being is to setup tasker to reboot the phone at 3am everyday. If i go back to froyo the problems go away. I posted about this a while ago. It doesn't fix the problem it just masks it but I start with a fresh phone every morning.
I have the issue too, it started right after Gingerbread.
It was *really* bad until I re-activated my phone but it still happens almost every 48 hours.
As best as I can tell, it is most likely to happen when wifi is on and you have a weak cdma/3g signal.
I'm glad to hear that CM7 seems to clear it up. Between hardware instability, the compass quality being degraded and the ever imposing presence of Blur, I'm thinking I'll never again own a phone with a locked bootloader if I can help it.
I also setup tasker to reboot my phone at 3am every night. Did this several weeks ago and I've not had a network access issue since. Not a great solution but if you got root it does seem to make the problem go away.
Hey, let me know what you think of it. I thought about grabbing one cheap and using it until a good 4G & dual core comes out.
Not sure I could go with the smaller screen though.

I have this issue on an unlocked dev dx which has slightly older hardware than the current DX's but I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with the issue. I'm going to experiment with some different radio versions, because this didn't happen with all the different leaked GB radios. It wasn't until I think the 588 build that it started for me.
+1
I have had this issue ever since GB dropped for it. I am on my third X since GB. The first one smoked a memory card and battery. So I got a like new phone and all the fixings. Then the second one was also having the data issue and the camera took a **** (shutter was stuck closed). All of these have also not only rebooted randomly from day 1 with GB. Go to make a call phone reboots, send a text phone reboots. I thought it also was apps and heard about Google Voice causing it. So when I got this third one I only setup apps that it came with and nothing else. not even 2 days into having it the same **** was there. Less frequent but still there. They are going to get screamed at until I get a new device.
Switch to cm7. I love it.

If someone can find a solution to this, seriously, you're a master.
I was running CM build from the 6 January (stock kernel). And suddenly, during the afternoon, my data started to be slow.
Here I have a contract for 7.2mbps. I'm usually arround 6.5-7.2mpbs. Never really goes down 5mbps. So I ran a speed test. I was at 0.1mbps. I thought "this should be a little problem, nothing to worry about". I was wrong, so wrong. After that I flashed the CM build from today.
Hours later, after many speedtest, I was still at 0.1mbps and I started to think that this is really weird. So I phoned to my network and they told me there's no network problem at all where I live (should be true, no friends asked me about this).
So, obviously, I flashed another ROM, AOKP. Still ultra slow data. I flashed Paranoid Android, still super slow data.
I took off my SIM carte and I put it on my old HTC Sensation. Guess what, data was working perfectly. At this point I started to get crazy lol.
Maybe some corrupted data ? Let's flash the factory.img
I flashed via fastboot the factory.img, ran a speed test.... STILL SUPER SLOW DATA.
I should add that we don't have any data-cap here (and the Sensation proved it).
I thought, maybe the 3G is hardware broken ? No. I'm still seeing H+ and 3G on my status bar. More weird stuff ? alright ! Ping is excellent (about 40ms) and upload speed... is like it always been, arround 1mbps (that's the number in my contract too).
So now, i'm completely lost (and tired, it's 2am).
If someone, whatever the idea is, could help me, it would be awesome.

Good idea too, but already tried 3 and they all gave me the same result.
Do you guys think it's hardware ?
Try re-registering onto your mobile network. Or try registering manually instead.
I had a weird issue where my phone would switch to cdma on its own. try *#*#4636#*#* and playing around with settings there.
Try flashing back stock and factory reset.
Make sure your sim card tray is fully inserted.
Pray to the HSDPA Gods to give you your speed back.
Remove your tin foil case from your phone.
You're holding it wrong. Hold it in a different way.
Have you tried installing iOS on it?
wooooooooo!!!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
If you've flashed other roms, then it's obviously not a software issue, maybe there's work on your local mast. Is the speed difference only in the speedtest app, or do you notice it in normal usage?
So later yesterday I called the customer service. They confirmed that they have no network issue at all.
It started at 16:00 pm and yesterday night, at 3:00 am (when I was about to sleep, finally ) still ultra slow data speed.
I woke up this morning at 7:00 am, tried again a test, still slow data speed.
So I went to my office, I was in at 8:00 am and I ran a test again and... BOOM ! 6.8mbps ! And it works now without any problem.
Morality : Don't miss work. lol
But to be honnest, I really don't understand what happened. I have no clue what this can be. Anyway, it works now and I hope it won't happen again.
Btw, big thanks to everyone who answered, we have some great people here
Well guys, here I am with major thoughts of dumping my Note 3 and ending my short couple of month love affair with it.
I just feel that this device underachieved for me. My major beef with it is the poor wifi and overall network performance of the phone with no fix in sight. I can't stand the instability of the wifi performance. I also hate the speaker on this thing.
I also am disappointed with the community. I don't know what it is, but this community doesn't seem very active or have big numbers. I understand maybe a lot of people shy away because of the locked bootloader and such, but it just seems like low activity here.
With that being said, not all hope is lost. I still like this phone overall. I got in on the Cyber Monday deal for a $350 Moto X. I am making my decision easy for myself. If I like the Moto X, I am keeping it and dumping my Note 3. If I don't, I will keep my Note 3 for a little while longer.
And I understand that these phones are on opposite sides of the spectrum. But something intrigues me about the Moto X.
Ultimately I know that nobody probably cares. And that's cool, you can simply ignore this thread. But for anyone else, I would like to hear your thoughts.
Thanks!

What ROM are you using? My T-Mobile note 3 using att has excellent 4g LTE coverage but when I had T-Mobile coverage at first it sucked! I'm talking bad!! Barely any data connection if any and dropped a lot of calls. As far as WiFi I get excellent coverage also. Don't give up on your note 3 just yet. Just give up on t mobile!! If you use Chainfire's region unlock app from play store and switch to an att carrier, (like net 10 or Straight talk $45 a month) you'll be good to go.

Why not just sell it and get something else? The Note 3 is still going for decent money on Swappa and most people prefer to buy rooted phones on there.

Barely any data connection if any and dropped a lot of calls. As far as WiFi I get excellent coverage also. Don't give up on your note 3 just yet. Just give up on t mobile!! If you use Chainfire's region unlock app from play store and switch to an att carrier, (like net 10 or Straight talk $45 a month) you'll be good to go.

Can you restore on mj5 after rooting with Kingo? I read you can use Kingos "unroot" then factory reset, but I dunno.
Probably best to use the the already established thread for this this type discussion. ..
