[Q] "Checking the quality of your internet connection..." when connecting to WiFi - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

[Q] "Checking the quality of your internet connection..." when connecting to WiFi
Hey,
I'm wondering if anyone else is getting the message in the subject when connecting to WiFi nets? I just got this out of the blue and now I cannot connect to any WiFi net.
It first tries to obtain IP and then that message shows. I've never seen it before on any Android phone.
I tried clearing caches, changing recovery, kernel etc. I'm running stock i9505 (XXUAMDE).
I've tried several WiFis.
Any advice? I tried searching high and low for the message but can't find anything.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

My S4 worked fine until today. Now I can't connect to my home WiFi. It just "checks the quality of the internet connection" and then later tries to obtain an ip address. I tried changing the name of the wifi, turning off the phone that tethers the connection, etc. etc. Nothing works. Come on, Samsung!

Nobody?

I got the exact same "checking the quality of your internet connection..." issue straight after flashing CF-Auto-Root on my newly acquired phone. Were you able to solve this problem? What was your solution?

update please! I have the same problem!

Here’s the incredibly simple way to fix the problem:
To disable the feature and save yourself the trouble of having to wait for your device to reconnect to the WiFi network every few minutes, just head on over to your Settings app. Once there, make sure you’re in the Connections tab; tap WiFi, your Menu key, and Advanced in the context menu that pops up; and uncheck the box that says “Auto network switch.”
This will disable the “Internet connection is slow” message that appears under the disconnected SSID and will allow you to use WiFi without being disconnected.

Does not work for tablets.

Tablets without GSM don't have that check box — but can still have that problem.
Checking the quality of the connection when there is no alternative. WTF.

I understand it is an old thread, but if it may help someone. I was facing the same issue in a Samsung phone. My router had a security settings enabled which was causing the issue. My router model was TPLink. In the advanced security settings, there was 'DoS protection' enabled. I disabled this, and Internet started working in the Samsung phone.

Help with wifi not working

I have done hard reset and soft resets and still my wifi is not connecting.
Finally my EDGE is working great but wifi not. Whenever I try to connect my SSID is set to "EMC Wireless Internal" channel 11. I have no idea where this cam from but I can not get rid of it. I have a new FIOS Actiontec router with wireless enabled to my network name, channel 10. And Hitchhiker tries to connect but it keeps getting bumped off.
I have gone into MediaNet and turned off the proxy and checked for it to go onto the internet on Cingular GPRS.
I have not had a problem connecting before on wifi. I wonder if the router is a problem here, or if my phone settings are screwed up.
And ideas?
Thanks
The WiFi - EDGE contengency
*The Bad News*
By default, if EDGE/GPRS is configured to work, WiFi is rendered useless.
You didnt mention what carrier you have. I have Cingular and they even state on there website that If you configure the Edge/GRPS to connect, then WiFi may not work.
*The Good news*
I have my 8125 working with both Edge and WiFi. Heres what I did:
1. Open Connnections and click on the 'ADVANCED' tab.
2. Click on 'SELECT NETWORKS'.
3. The top pull down should be set to 'MY ISP' or, if you have named your WiFi connection something different, select it here.
4. Click 'EDIT' under this pull down and set connection to 'AUTO PICK'. 'OK' back to Network Management screen.
5. The bottom pull down should be set to 'MEDIA NE'T.
6. Click on 'EDIT' under this pull down. This is where you will set up EDGE using your carrier's settings.
7. 'OK' your way back out. Your done.
These settings let WiFi try to connect first. If no WiFi is available then EDGE/GPRS is used.
Good Luck!
Thank you! Worked for me, but videos streamed from orb still aren't working

I also have WiFi problems after installing HTC official upgrade
ROM 2.25.11.1 WWE
Date 5/11/06
Radio 02.25.11
Protocol 4.1.13.12
ExtROM 2.25.11.102
Everything is great except after successful connection to home WiFi it disconnects after maybe 5 to 15 seconds ... network becomes "unavailable" .. no error message. This happens even when not connected to CIngular EDGE/GPRS (flight mode ON then, individually enable WiFi ON for what that's worth). When I delete my home network WiFi entry to force a re-recognition and setup, it recognizes the wireless net just fine (again) but same behavior.
All my settings are already set as suggested by ralugniC8125 in this thread. I had not tried any of the other ROMs with added features/hacks/fixes found on this website ... would any of them behave differently, you think? PHone was bought from Cingular .. I have not done any unlock procedure (don't really need to from a service standpoint but will if necessary to make a new ROM work right).
Any thoughts appreciated...

I have just purchased an unlocked Tilt from eBay. I have been scanning the wiki for days now, along with other sources, and to no avail. I still cannot get my WiFi to work properly. If any one has had this issue and has found a solution, I would love to know it!
ok, here's a suggestion since none of you have mentioned it.
Diable the MAC (Media Access Control) Binding on the router. This should help.
Maybe yall can help me now I have it attempting to connect however it only connects to gprs and it even shows it has a great wifi signal
Still Wifi-less and Woeful

Thanks for the suggestion. This did not help unfortunately. I should mention that I have tried to access several different types of routers... with and without security, and while they are showing up as being available, they will not stay connected for more than a second or two.
Any other possibilities?

[Q] Galaxy S4 Wifi Issues

Hello,
I've already searched the forum for an answer but I've been unable to find any solution.
I have a GT-i9505 Galaxy S4 with Omega ROM. I though flashing a new rom will help me but it's the same.
Everytime I walk away from my router, it automatically sets the wifi as "Network disabled because internet connection is slow" and won't connect again. I have to manually click connect to force it to connect it. Also, when I'm in my University, it keeps disconnecting for the same.
How can I avoid this and force it to stay connected? Do I need to flash some custom modem or something?
Thanks
The answer!

TRY THESE STEPS
1) Settings => Connections and tap Wi-Fi. Then tap Menu and make sure Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep is set to Always.
2) Turn off Wi-Fi power save mode on your S4. Type *#0011# on the phone dialer, then Menu => Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi power save mode to Off. (WORKED FOR ME)
3) Or change your router settings to 802.11 model
Galaxy S4 wifi non-connection/drop out NEW FIX
Had a problem for ages with my S4 not connecting to wifi and therefore no internet, no updates etc. My router is a Netcomm NB6Plus4Wn but this may work with most routers.
It would constantly go through the authentication, secured/saved cycle but rarely actually got an ip address.
After trial and error I found this worked straight away and it is a very easy fix.
Go to your router settings page, then wireless settings, look for Primary Channel setting.
There may be a (Lower/Upper selection) - tick the LOWER radio button and apply changes. Let router reboot.
Note I also use WPA/TKIP settings for security.
Test your S4.
Mine was set to Upper Primary Channel previously and as soon as I changed that setting to Lower Channel wifi and internet worked immediately.
I hope this helps some people with this common problem as I know how frustrating it can be.
Cheers
wifi verification problem
galaxy s4 GT-I9500 running pac-man rom. just started getting verification problem connecting to my linksys router one foot from my phone.
did the following on my phone: settings, Wi-Fi, settings, wps pin entry, msg reads " enter pin xxxxxxxxxx on your Wi-Fi router." where xxxxxxxxx is a number.
logged on to my router, clicked on Wi-Fi tab, under Wi-Fi protected setup, it asked me to enter the wps pin number from my phone. I did and after a minute or so, it indicated success and now my phone connects to Wi-Fi
weird. my phone connected for months without this procedure but just started failing today. thanks to the one who suggested checking the router setup.

I recently ran into the same problem and my wi-fi button wouldn't come on no matter what I did. Finally, I took the phone to Best buy as the now have a Samsung store there and the guy reflashed my phone with the 4.3 update free of charge and it worked. When I got home I rooted over my phone and now my wifi works fine. Hope this helps.

"your internet connection is unstable" fix

Like many others, I have this pop up in the notification area few times every hour that is really annoying. Never had such notification from note 2, so played around with my router & phone settings, and so far has found this method that worked for me, hope it'll work for some of you experiencing similar issue.
In short, basically I just put my note 3 IP in my router's DHCP reservation list then manually set my note 3 network using static IP in the wifi setting.
Here are some details (router ip/192.168.10.1; note 3 ip/192.168.10.188):
Turn off Auto Connect & Auto network switch under Advanced wifi settings
Connect to my router normally using DHCP, I'm using WPA2
Login to my router and put my note 3 IP in the DHCP reservation list. each router is different, mine is TRENDnet TEW-633GR, so it's in Basic -> Network Settings
Under note3's wifi networks, long press the connected wifi network, click "Modify entwork confi", check "Show advanced options", under "IP Settings" select "Static", enter my gateway(192.168.10.1) and my note 3 IP address(192.168.10.188). For DNS, I use Open DNS(208.67.222.222 & 208.67.220.220), then click on "Save"
I've been on this setting for the past 3-4 days and haven't seen a single unstable network notification message. Hope this helps.
Just turning off auto network switch fixed the problem for me.

yea I guess it's different from some people. it didn't work for me just turning off auto network switching.
An apparent solution
My Auto Network was off to start with, and the message started all of a sudden. I've turned it on and back off and it fixed the problem.
Seems to be a glitch, an annoyance Samsung would have to look at.
I must be blind. I cant even find the option for auto connect.
EDIT: Got it. Have to hit the menu button while in WIFI options.
Impacting my Note 2
Now that I've updated my ROM to 4.3 on my Note 2, I'm seeing the same thing so it looks like it might be something in Samsung's implementation of 4.3. I'm going to give your suggestions a try on my phone as well.
This actually seems to work. The unstable internet connect notifications and disconnections seem to have gone.
Why is this? Is this a Android bug?

I think this is a "feature" from 4.3 as some people with note 2 upgraded to 4.3 reported this issue too, it's just really annoying.
btw disabling the message doesn't seem to improve or degrade the connection for me.
No, I don't mean disabling the message.
I mean manually putting in the DNS as the OpenDNS IPs.
The network was still disconnecting even after the Autoswitch networks option was disabled, so that didn't help.
The OpenDNS seems to have helped.

really? have you tried different DNS? I thought it's manually assigning local IP address on android & using DHCP reserve on router that has helped me getting rid of the issue, I just happen to use OpenDNS. Just turning off auto switching did not work for me either.
Nope, I've always been using DCHP reserve, and that never solved anything.
I think I fixed it
The message was annoying. The last time I saw it I pulled down the notification drawer and clicked the Wi-Fi with a question mark in it a floating window came up saying my internet was unstable bla bla. Tick never show this again then in advanced untick every box in there.
fix for 'your internet connection is unstable error"
i found a fix for this problem.
1. Enter into your modem settings by 192.168.1.1
2.Go to mac filter and enter your device mac id in allowed devices list.
the problem will be solved.
i have done this. and i am not getting that error message.

WIFI - Issues all over again

Does any one remember the cure for the WIFI issues on previous galaxy handsets it might be a similar issue im seeing on the S5.
When i return home the WIFI doesn't automatically connect it states "Network disconnected. Sign in again" in the pull down then when i click the notification it takes me to the WIFI setting and it states "Sign-in is required" if i click on the network and click connect its all happy again and connects!
Has any one else seen or solved this issue im seeing it on both mine and the Wife's S5 but everything else connects happily without a problem.

Same issue - Alernate FIX -
Had the same issue, tried the resolution of
Step 1 Go to the home screen on your phone.
Step 2 Select the telephone dial pad.
Step 3 Dial *#0011#
Step 4 Press the settings button on phone and select wifi.
Step 5 You should see the safe wifi button on so just press it so it turns off.
Reset connection (forget connection then established connection again) seem to work, but then battery life was horrible. Unfortunately didn't think it was a good trade and turned safe-mode back on. Working fine for awhile, then Network Disconnected alert, days later. So as a fix,
1. >Wifi >Advanced >Disable (uncheck) Smart network switch.
2. Forget connection, then establish connection again. Works no issues.
One of the benefits of the Samsung Galaxy S5 is the battery life, why would I want to sacrifice that and have my battery dead in the late morning, hope this helps.
wifi works great for me
great for me
wifi works great for me Thank you
fix please
Nope the fix doesnt work
the same issue all over again
please help
your problem is in access point config

Ok i just found out its only doing it at home, i tried wifi and my work and it works perfectly doesnt disconnect and connect, but at home it does, though it never did it before and i didnt change or do anything to my router or my phone which i find very strange.
thanks for the help guys i appreciate it a lot, does anyone know what i can do?
have you found a fix to this yet? I'm having the same issue and getting ready to just return the phone and buy something else. My home network is fine, the other tablets, phones, laptops are having 0 issues, Yet my GS5 is either dropping or something, it seems to run horrible slow and things just time out.

No, and the reason that we don't know is that you didn't provide any useful details about your situation.
If you think that someone can do more than make a random guess implies that you think that there are only one or two possible causes. But most issues, including this one, have hundreds of possible causes. So random guesses are not terribly useful. Nor are we psychic, so the only way to efficiently narrow it down is to look for anomolies in your configuration. Which you haven't described.
You should be providing as much technical detail as possible, e.g. what is your home router model & it's firmware version and configuration details, phone firmware version, any specific error messages, any observed pattern, a logcat if you can and anything else that seems relevant.

Have you tried changing the channel on your router?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Change the router channel
Change the router SSID
Default the router comfiguration
Change the router operating mode
Update the router firmware
Move the router to a different location
Use a different router
Unplug your neighbours new 50,000 watt pirate radio station
Update your phone firmware
Buy a different phone
Sacrifice a piece of triple chocolate gnocche cake to the pagan God of chocolate and wifi
All random guesses with roughly equivalent (and small) chances of success.
Or one could try troubleshooting the issue methodically.

Hey guys,
I had this problem before, This is an issue with your samsung device and your ISP. They aren't compatible with each other.
Solution:
You must just block clients3.google.com in your modem/router. You can use Block Web Sites section in your modem/router.
Every thing has a solution.
Enjoy your device WIFI.

I have teh same issue on my S5 Cricket. The WIFI does NOT disconnect. Its connected however I don't have internet connection. Turning the WIFI on and OFF fixes the issue, for a short while until it happens again in an hour. Sometimes I slick on a link and wait and wait just to find out the darn WIFI is not connected to the internet. (probably not even connected to my router properly eg, I cant see my laptop shared drives for example).
This has something to do with saving battery or somthing. WIFI internals shut down, even though the icon on top of the screen still shows I'm connected.

Your phone thinks that your WiFi is unstable and dumps the connection to go back to 4g. Why exactly, who knows, but it's easy to turn off the "smart" network switch. Simply hold down the WiFi icon for 2 seconds to get into the connections section. Right there at the top is the smart network switch section ... just uncheck the selection box. Easy.
Lastly, people like fffft need to get over themselves. The fix for the original poster's question was easy, but since fffft didn't know it, he decided to instead attack in order to make himself feel superior. How sad and pathetic does someone have to be to troll forums looking for opportunities to attack and belittle someone else?

Well I know that Smart Network is turning off wifi.. problem is that i have a fiber at home!! So what kind of problem smart network finds on my broadband?? ?
solution to wifi disconnect problem
I was looking for an answer to a different wi-fi question when I saw this.
I'm on AT&T with my S5.
Under the Wi-Fi settings I have an option for "Smart Network Switch" which says it Automatically switches between Wi-Fi and mobile networks to maintain a stable internet connection. Anytime a computer says it automatically does something for me; I typically say no thanks. I don't typically like my devices making assumptions of what I like, don't like or want to do. So I have that option unchecked. I never have an issue with the network stability once I've connected to a specific wi-fi connection.
Not sure if that will help you all or not. But thought I'd share.
so under Settings --> Quick Settings --> Wi-Fi you will find a check box option named "Smart network switch", untick it, this should take care of the problem.

Same problem
Hi, I have the same problem. Here some info:
- Device: Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F), Stock, not rooted
- Android version: 5.0
- Kernel version: 3.4.0-5640614 (2015-09-01)
- 'Smart network switch' is turned off
- 'Always allow scanning' is disabled
The problem started 2-3 days ago. When I turn on WiFi/WLAN the phone constantly turns it back off and on again. Didn't happen before, didn't change anything on the router (I have no access to it ) and didn't install a new app (as far as I can remember). I don't know if it only happens on this access point.
I made a log file (adb logcat) but am not sure if it contains sensitive information, is it save to share online?
The logcat doesn't contain any sensitive passwords.

No other devices in my house are having any issues, so that eliminates the router. When I factory reset my phone the Wi-Fi begins to work again, so that eliminates my phones hardware. The confusing part is that I installed a bunch of apps such as AdGuard that could possibly cause an issue but everything worked and this started out of nowhere. Also, I factory reset my phone AGAIN and AGAIN, everything worked and out of nowhere while I was looking at my screen while idling, I watched as the Wi-Fi connection dropped and began the disconnect/reconnect loop...
I'm assuming it has to be a software issue because it only started when I updated to a newer Cyanogen. I'm about to test if other Wi-Fi networks have this problem and I'm also going to look through and post a log.
If anyone has any questions or suggestions that may lead to a fix, PLEASE help!
Thanks
Well I factory reset again, this time wiping the internal storage and everything is now fine. I did look at my logcat and there were Wi-Fi errors but I forgot to post them...
