WIFI Drop off

Has anyone been having issue with the WIFI dropping off if the device hasnt been rebooted in a day or so?

negative. could be your router, or something you've installed? kernel?

Both Xooms in my house have this problem on my N network. The device often drops the wifi connection and the only fix is a reboot. My HTPC, DX and wife's D1 don't seem to have any trouble.

I have had this problem in the past, but has been pretty solid for me as of late. Probably a router issue or a kernal (if custom) issue.
Sent from my Xoom the way it should be, rooted and with SD card.

I have have this problem since day one.
G router with multiple devices running and only my xoom looses connection.
Only for a brief moment though. When it happens, I wait a couple of seconds and it comes back by itself.

Occasionally I get this straight from standby, the Xoom is very slow to reconnect. As a work round I put a WiFi toggle widget on the desktop. A quick off/on reconnects.

I have had no problems with wifi. My wifi has never disconnected, I have left my Xoom on for two weeks without restart and it still worked great. It doesn't disconnect when Xoom sleeps.

I got the Xoom WiFi since came out in Canada, I've had no problem with wifi, it always stays connected. (Have tested G and N).

My Xoom drop the WiFi once in a while but not often.
My iPads, iPhones and a few laptops never drops the WiFi though...

Use to have it with my gTab but not my Xoom...as of yet.

yep. at my work there are multiple access points - the one closest to my workstation is a consumer-grade linksys, all the rest are professional grade. my xoom drops the consumer-grade access point all the time. the other access points throughout the building are fine, as is the access point at my house. i've played around with the advanced settings according to a couple of posts i found on here, but it didn't help. cycling wifi off and on again usually fixes it, but it's annoying to say the least. i think it's safe to say it's a known problem with some xooms and some access points.

what router are you using? If it happens to be a D-Link, they are know for dropping connections all the time.

Anyone try a 5ghz only mode? I haven't had the chance yet and was wondering if it could be better on the front of dropped connections.

Wi-fi weaker??

Does anyone feel that with EI22 they are getting worse WIFI signal compared to Froyo??? Mine seems considerably less.

Somebody (I think Noobnl) posted in another thread that they powered the radio back to make battery life better.

i dont' feel mine is weaker but i am having problems with wifi not connecting unless i toggle the wifi button. it will goin into a searching, connecting, disconnecting look until i disable/enable it. then it connects immediatly

Worse signal same speed.

It actually looks like I am getting just a little better strength than the EH17 modem but worse than EC05.

I get better 4g now but my wifi just toggles in a constant connect, disconnect, not in range state. Happens even while I am sitting next to my router.

Well someone said that they were having the issue with nubernal so I reflashed the stoc rom and rooted but I am still having the issue. I have not flashed the keyboard fix or the gps fix as yet but I did flash konane's ciq remover. If problems persist I may have to reflash to bone stock and try it unrooted then rooted to see if I can track down the issue

I believe that you are correct now that I think about it but it flashed with no errors and my phone's stable except for the wfi thing. Have to find a way to check for ciq now.

Only the indicator shows weaker. They just adjusted the signal gain to different db's. Not a big deal you will still have the same exact speeds. And those of you that are connecting and disconnecting try putting in the right password. I know its hard when your skipping keys but slow down.

But does the weaker indicator mean less coverage/range even if the speed is the same when connected?

Absolutely not. I could make it to show that you had 0 bars on indicator when really you should have full bars. And you would still have full connectivity speed. The only speed that is relevant is what is called link speed which you can only see by an app called network info then you select wifi. Also our phones are not 5ghz wireless so we won't have the same link speeds as what a 5ghz enabled device would. I'm sure that the indicator bars will be adjusted in the first custom roms

Disable Fast Dormancy (Guide)

for all that have problem with fast dormancy wake lock or whatever I have found a way to disable it.
I tried a secred code*#9900# then ghokanmoral app which didnt work either
then I decided to play with all secred codes and found one where there is an option to disable it im running Wanam 3.5 JB LI7
type this code:
*#197328640#
then pres option:
[1]DEBUG SCREEN
after that
[8]PHONE CONTROL
.....
[3] NAS CONTROL
....
[5]RRC(HSPA) CONTROL
....
[2]CHANGE REVISION
....
[1]RELEASE R99(HSPA OFF)
then press on
HSPA OFF, HSUPA OFF
press menu button and END
you will notice that from H or H+ it changes to 3G straight away without reboot or anything
I hope it helps

That's retarded if you can't connect back to the H+ network?! That's not the point of FD, it't to allow it to go to 3G and sit, instead of H and sit.

And why not donwload from market
''fast dormancy'' GhokanMoral?
It is much more simple!

I used to be on Three UK network and when I didnt use internet it goes from H+ to 3G, which uses less battery, but with Tmobile UK it never goes back to 3G and it stays always on H.
just notice how ur network signal behaves

Crippling the data speed of your phone seems to be throwing the baby out with the bath water.

unfortunately that is a necessary evil in this case! I wish you well, and hope they play a nice tune while you are on hold! :thumbup:

Fast Dormancy wakelocks have no real effect on battery drain on SGS3. I've tested it myself. I had high wakelocks caused by fast dormancy so i decided to disable it with gokhanmoral app. After i disabled FD, wakelocks has dissappeared completely and i was happy. But when i compared battery consumption overnight (10h standby) with FD on and off.. there was abolutely no difference. So i'm back with FD on even if my network doesn't support it. My battery drain in standby is not high either.

No idea, but personally I have always disabled fast dormancy from my sgs2 days, it did saved battery life.
《spilled from dragon jellybean rom》

If I understood correctly, FD is affecting battery life only if you use mobile data always on right?
I use my data for 5 minutes then turn it off. Since it is hard to get info from my carrier, do you recommend to turn it off?

DAMN
Ive just hit my head :silly: and totally forgot what FAST DORMNCY means.
Can someone explain please

It should not affect you as you turn off your data post using it

Hi,
There is some other threads about fast dormancy, since this is the most recent... I posted here.
One question: is fast dormancy has something to do to the network speed?
Because here in France (Orange carrier), with fast dormancy disable with FastDormacy Toggle (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...W5tb3JhbC5mYXN0ZG9ybWFuY3l0b2dnbGUuaTkzMDAiXQ..) I have about 4,5/5 Mbps download/0,9 Mbps Upload/75 ping... And with fast dormancy enable I have about 6,5/6,8 download (even 7,* sometimes, but not very reliable)/1,5 Mbps upload/140 ping...
I did tests with Speed ​​Test (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsIm9yZy56d2Fub28uYW5kcm9pZC5zcGVlZHRlc3QiXQ..).
I tested the same hours, places and after different times and places, to summarize a bunch of different tests, there is still a huge difference between fast dormancy enabled/disabled mostly about download speed... , at least for me.
Normaly fast dormancy does not affect the network speed
In any case for me with or without fast dormancy I have not noticed any battery drain, more or less

@viking
I think you have a typo. It says you disabled fast dormancy in both comparisons.
So which was faster for you?

Nexus 4 Has Weak WiFi Range ??

It has this problem on my galaxy nexus have it the when i have the gs3 not have it the new nexus have it ??

For me the WiFi range is better than the gnex.

I'm guessing not since no one has reported it...
Also, wait more than 15 mins before you bump your thread next time

But he waited a whole 17 minutes, so that must validate his bump!

My n4's WiFi range is much much better than my s3 and gnex. Similar to my 4s.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

I felt the Wifi range was a bit less too, than my GS2. Only at times, however.

just got my N4 and when connecting to my Galaxy nexus hotspot it gets very poor speeds even though the GN will get very good speeds. I connected my N7 to the same hotspot and get good speeds.
for example
N4 connected to GN gets an average of about 1-3mbps
GN will get 9+ easily
N7 connected to GN gets 5+ easily.
My N4 won't even connect to a wireless network at my girlfriends that is configured exactly the same way my home one is with the same SSID and password. Connects fine at my house but not my gfs. all my other devices connnect to both just fine. N4 won't even detect the network at my GFs

My property is 100 feet by 180 feet and the router is pretty much smack dap in the middle of it in my house and I can connect to my wifi outside anywhere on my property without a problem. Might be you have a weak router if your having problems. Connecting to TMobiles network is another thing.

wifi weak
I am facing similar issues with wifi on Nexus 4.
I am having only 1/5 bars in comparison to my old Nokia N9 which shows 4/5. Both on 5 Ghz, I tried using different router , still Nexus 4 seems weaker to me.

Mine is weaker than any past device. My N10 doesn't fair much better. Solved it with a wireless repeater.

Yeah that didn't work for me. This happened on fresh stock out of box android and even after I flashed another ROM. It connects to all other wireless just fine though. Probably an issue with that router but that's quite odd if that is the case. I mean, it doesn't even SEE the network at all.

Probably your area is swamped with other networks. I've noticed where I am there are like 50 networks, It can never quite find my router in all the mess...
At my house though I can only see 2-3 networks and it works perfectly. This is probably software related.

I'm having a similar but different issue with my wifi.
No only was my wifi signal pretty weak, it seems that my phone's wifi is no longer working. I noticed that the wifi on my device would not work at all (it won't even turn on) whenever I restarted my nexus 4 and got a "Process System isn't responding" message. The only times in which my wifi was working, was when I didn't get that message. The bad part now is, I seem to be getting that message on all my reboots.
I've tried wiping cache, dalvik cache, fixing permissions, and factory resets.
Any advice?
I have a rooted stock, with clockworkmod recovery. (rooted using efrant's method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312)

Verizon G2 internet speeds low?

My Verizon G2 has horrible wifi speeds, and all the other devices are great. My S4 could get great speeds and access from the other side of my house, and my G2 barely gets anywhere near that even 10 feet from the router. I've read that it could be related to wifi calling somehow. Can anyone diagnose the problem? I've tried multiple ROMs, all of them had the same issue. Please don't tell me to return it, that's not an option being on TWRP

If you can not solve the problem you can always return to stock and Verizon will not be the wiser. Not be wise, you have reset the router being you are having this issue on several roms, I thinking it would be a based issue with either the phone or the router.

I'm not seeing this at all. My WiFi speed/signal are comparable to my razr, range is about the same too. My internet speed on WiFi is another story though, rotten HughesNet...

Okay, I need to clarify- in WiFi settings, the G2 is telling me my wireless signal is sending 72 mbps, however when I load webpages, download apps, watch Youtube, etc it downloads incredibly slowly. It seems like something in the phone is a problem.

Have you tried resetting your router? For me, I have great connection speed and signal strength to my router, but my satellite internet speed stinks so I just usually keep 4g on at home.
Have you checked your speed through another device?

I reset it, restarted the modem, shut off the computer, even turned the strip all the way off so they weren't getting power. Restarted everything, same problem. I changed the router settings to auto band width and it seemed to get a little getter range but the speed was still slow. I thinks it's just time for a new router. It's a linksys e2000- I'm wondering if this router just doesn't play nice with newer smartphones.

Interesting.... so this could be coincidental, that it happened to go bad as soon as I got a G2. A new router would probably fix my problems?
