4.3 Wifi issues? - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone else having wifi issues with 4.3? I am 100% stock unrooted, installed the official google factory image with fastboot doing a full wipe including user data. I have been running AOKP and have gotten sick of the issues this tablet has and though that going 100% stock to see if it solved any of the problems. I have only been installed since last nigh but I am already having wifi issues. The wifi seems to loose connection and has to be toggled on and off to get it going again. Anyone else seeing this?

I can confirm this.

I actually think my Wi-Fi is even better now.

I had a multitude of random Wi-Fi drops on 4.2.2 on a daily basis, using several AP's with all the configuration setups imaginable. with 4.3 in happy to report one drop in three full days.

I had the issue you described on 4.2.2 but not so far with 4.3, only time will tell. I'm getting random YouTube app freezing but these do not appear to be WiFi related. I flashed the 4.3 update over my existing 4.2.2. Stock image so have a different base then yours.

No problem with WiFi, it also seems more stable now.

I did not have any Wi-Fi problems with 4.2.2 on AOKP but I did have sleep of death problems seems I just traded one problem four an other.

No WiFi issues here.

As others have said, I've found my wifi reception/stability has improved with the 4.3 image. My older 802.11b hotspot didn't work with the N10 reliably before the upgrade to 4.3, regularly dropping the connection. Now it works fine, and always at full "bars" reception.
My 5Ghz 802.11n AP worked fine before, and still works fine now.

Hi, I too have had poor wifi on my wife's nexus 10 since 4.3.
Every night for last couple months my wife and I have played ticket to ride in in bed. From the moment she reset it to apply the 4.3 update (between games) she has suffered from dropouts and the game continually disconnects. Was running perfectly for months until this update was applied.
Given that she updated between games and we noticed the issue immediately after the update I am sure there is a change for the worse in the wifi configuration under android 4.3.

I am also experiencing wifi issues with the stock 4.3 update. No SoD so far like with 4.2.2 but since 4.3, wifi quality will degrade when I am using it heavily. I will still have 2-3 bars but the connection will slow to a crawl until I toggle wifi off/on. (I feel I should add: quality router, multiple devices without issues) The only thing I have done to this ROM is chainfire root. It seems some have the issue and some don't. I'll prob try and install again tonight to see if it helps.

I have been experiencing a loss in internet connectivity after 1-2 hours of inactivity now that I am on 4.3. The WiFi icon turns gray but stays connected to the router. I rebooted the router, but no help. I have advanced settings set to WiFi always on. I had WiFi optimization on, and am now testing to see if things change with it off. I never had any connectivity problem with 4.2.2 and nothing else has changed. If this keeps up, I may flash back to 4.2.2 till things get better.

That is a very simple fix if you just asked around, or searched and you would see the three primary causes.

I ended up using an app called safe charge that seemed to do the trick. What were the other causes or fixes for this? I just wanted to go stock for a bit while AOKP and CM get the 4.3 builds up and running so i would have a reference to compare the performance and stability to.

I have filed a bug report for this here https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=58206&thanks=58206&ts=1375129699

The leading causes of sleep of death issues are:
The CPU governor uses hotplugging, the majority of the users on this tablet get SoD with hotplugging on
Voltage was tweaked a bit lower and is not enough to run your CPU properly
You are running Franco's R12 kernel which has a very widely known SoD issue.
It is also possible that the version of the AOKP kernel you may have been running had the same tweak that Franco did and was also causing a SoD. 90% of the time when someone has a sleep of death issue on this tablet it is because of something from the kernel that is causing the issue, you can try out KTManta or Trinity kernel (also both of them have beta kernels available for 4.3).

FWIW, after turning the WiFi optimization off, the WiFi status icon has remained blue and I have not lost the internet connection when sitting idle for hours.

[Info][WIP] LET's FIGURE OUT the sleep of Death!!!! [NOT A ROM]

Does anyone have a logcat from their dead transformer, during/around the time when it died?
Has anyone noticed any trends in when it happens? I saw something about 82% battery but I think that's just a coincidence.
Please post here so we can get to the bottom of this.

I think this is dev, unless it's a hardware issue. But hopefully we'll be able to discern that.
I have had multiple sleep of death issues after rooting. When I flashed back to the stock Blob, they stopped. Every time I root to Blob V5 (I am on the most recent firmware), they come back. I tried MoDaCo's Rom - they still occurred. Trying Prime's Rom now - so far it's working without any sleep of deaths.
I was on MoDaCo's Hr4 for a few days and never had a sleep of death. Since installing Prime 1.2 I've had 3 or 4.
Since we've had completely opposite experiences I think we can safely rule out that this issue is ROM related.
I've used both those roms and never had a sleep of death. But I also used the root method without the v5 blob, just the standard GingerbreakBB.
I've had one sleep of death incident, using unrooted stock Transformer configuration.
mine case: downgrade back to 8.2.2.6 using SD method (EP101_SDUPDATE.zip) then Gigerbreakbb then the BLOBV5 => lots of SOD issue.
May be we must update to the latest 8.2.3.9 before break using gingerbreakbb and install BLOBV5?
BR
Blob 5 is made to work with 8.2.3.9... It will most definitely have issues with the old firmware.
I am beginning to think the issue is with one of my apps and its settings. When I am rooted, I use Titanium Backup to restore my data and maybe the reason for the SOD is because something in an application isn't playing nice with Honeycomb... Obviously when I am not rooted, I cannot restore the settings and thus no SOD.
I just flashed back to root with Blob V5. Going to see if there are any SOD issues before installing apps... Will probably install one by one to try to see if I can find the problem - A PITA, but I really want the SOD to stop.
Had it with latest asus Update, no root and 40% brightness + wifi sleeps while screen is off. Lockscreen was enabled.

Had another one after changing wifi sleep policy. I think it is wifi related.

Other threads are pointing to the WiFi scanning be enabled. I have flashed back to MoDaCo Hr4 (because it was more stable for me than Prime 1.2) and also disabled WiFi notifications and will report back if/when I get a SOD.
Unrooted, getting about one or two of these a day depending...... seems to happen more if I've left it sleeping for an hour or more.

this could relate to wifi scanning as well. were you connected, and what are your current settings?
Thanks for participating everyone, so far there isn't a conclusive answer.
However, could someone install log collector from the market, and leave it there until the BlackSOD happens, and then upload the file? that would be super awesome. preferably someone who gets them all the time. if the last thing in the logcat is consistently wifi-related, then we're on to something.
is there any firmware version on which NOBODY has EVER had a BlackSOD? This could be worth looking in to as well.
Well, I rerooted and have installed about 80% of my apps. So far no SOD. I have a few more apps to install and I usually freeze some of the unwanted apps. Will post an update later. Also, I read on other forums that fancy widget caused issues like this on other tablets. I had been using beautiful widgets I wonder if the way that tries to access wifi causes issues.
The apps I have yet to install are:
Watchdog lite, beautiful widgets, adfree android

Just had one while wifi was disabled! I guess that makes it less likely that wifi causes the problem.
Next time I will upload a logfile!

I've had 2 so far, both with Hr4 and blob v5. Battery has been at different levels, so I think thats a coincidence.
Has anyone tested on a 100% Factory reset device (either with a custom or stock ROM?) That should help rule out any apps which may cause the problem.
FWIW, never had this issue (have run Stock, HR1 -> HR4 & Prime V1.2)
so far no SOD after a clean tstart
Had a SOD this morning on Hr4 so I will run Log Collector today and hope to catch another. I'm assuming that Log Collector is continually writing to my Gmail draft so it should be there after the full reboot? Doesn't seem like it will let me mirror logcat to a file on sdcard...

I realize this isn't the least bit helpful, but after having several SoD issues, and trying all the fixes (and then undoing them), I haven't had the issue for a week now. Mine would do it sporadically -- it would happen once in a day, and then 3 times in a day -- and the only thing I've left changed is disabling the lock screen, but I think that's just coincidence. This will be a hard one for Asus to nail down.
Hopefully someone produces a helpful log for Asus, I'm sure some non-XDA people may think they have a dead tablet rather than one they have to force power down and reboot.
had my firs SOD today.
running prime 1.2 US. battery at 96%. wifi on.

So it does not seem that this app will work because it only collects logs in real-time, does not store them for later analyzing. What else can I use other than leaving adb logcat running?

Does Nexus 4 still have delayed Wifi notification issue?

EDIT: Just read a thread that was 4 days old that says the issue still exists unless using a specific kernel that fixes it. Mods can delete.
Bug is still here.
I haven't experienced the bug. Only had my Nexus for four days though. Maybe I'm just lucky.
The bug is still around, but it seems to depend on the model of router that you have - i.e. some people get it, some don't.

When I'm at home my phone is always connected to Wi-Fi and pretty much in deep sleep since I only use my tablet unless I'm making a phone call. As soon as I get a gmail message or talk message, I hear my phone go off at the same time as my tablet. I would imagine if this bug existed on my phone there would be some sort of delay..? Perhaps the bug only affects certain message apps?

i didnt even know this was a bug, im on wifi 90% of the time and have never had it happen. have you tried setting a static ip, forcing it to keep wifi on when asleep, and unchecking the minimize battery usage on wifi?

It might depend on router model as well.
But clearly changing those setting doesn't help
You can fix it by editing configuration in a file and rebooting,
however, someone said this will cause some small effect on battery life.

Hi everyone.
Last year I changed many smartphones, but notifications delayed have alway been with Nexus devices over 3G network.
I had a Gnex and now a Nexus 4, and this problems is exactly the same over and over........delayed notifications on a variable time...maybe 15 or 30 minutes.
Everything ok instead with other terminals as SGS2, SGS3, Xperia S, T and Z.....
How is it possible that after many years Google has not yet solved ? bah...

[Q] Nexus 10 wifi and bluetooth not working on 4.3

Does anyone have this same problem? I already did factory reset for about 6 times. wipe cache and dalvik but still, the issues are still there. the wifi keeps on dropping and so slow compared to 4.2.2. sometimes it stuck downloading on play store, and takes too long to load on email. The wifi bar is full and blue, so I don't know why this happens. The bluetooth also does not work with my n7000. Whether sending or receiving files. It just shows error. I'm on stock 4.3 with root. Issues are there with or without apps installed. Can anyone help? Thank you! I'm also wondering if other nexus 10 users have this problem since I read some don't. I'm really frustrated with Google, I waited 8 months for Google to fix surfaceflinger and now WiFi and Bluetooth do not work like it used to. I'm never satisfied with this device, I wish I hadn't bought their product. A waste of money and time!
I don't know if this is double post, if so please tell so I can delete.
Im having wifi issues. I will connect at 130mb for like a min and then it drops to 24 and stays there. It will also go from showing full bars and barely load anything and then drop to 1 or 2. I take my wifes nexus 7 and she has no issues with it. I keep doing searches every day to see if more people are having this problem. Im using a asus rtac66n router which im only a couple feet away from
Same exact problem on galaxy nexus with 4.3. Problem from earlier android version is back!
Try changing the channel bandwidth from default 20/40MHz to 20 MHz only.
After trying for a week, it seems like custom rom (vanilla rootbox) fixed both of my issue. Both wifi and bluetooth now work. And my wifi is now fast just like in 4.2.2. However, surfaceflinger seems not fully fix yet. I still experience ram issues like apps keep on restarting until I need to reboot to clear ram. Anyway, it's still worth a try. I would recommend you to try vanillla rootbox maybe it could help you!

Ok, I'll try that. Is the theory here that bluetooth interferes with the wider band?

[Q] Wifi Issue with LG-D802. Advice is very appreciated

[Q] Wifi Issue with LG-D802
Hi all
Few days ago i receive my G2 and quickly updated to android Kitkat (Never experiencing Jellybean on this phone before),
I started to have some issues with the wifi. The wifi appears to be connected but sometimes there is no data transfer and wifi automatically disconnect even in the strongest signal area (the router is just below my desk of my phone) and the wifi settings was still turned on.
This occurs with every router from normal to the strongest connection.
Besides the connection drops also occurs on this phone which there is no internet connection even when the wifi is connected
So is this the wireless hardware issue or anyone experienced this before? Would like some suggestion please, Thanks!
So... just to make sure, you are running the default/stock ROM with OTA update to Android KitKat right? I am currently running CM11 nightly, and sometimes it has issues with connectivity (wifi/LTE). Let me know.

Yes it is running stock LG rom at 4.4.2
Here is what i would try:
1. Try resetting the phone to see if the errors go away. Maybe something went wrong while upgrading
2. If the problem still persists, and you are expert at ROMing - try installing a different ROM to see if this is related to LG's ROM.
3. Get a replacement if under warranty.
Just to let you know, KitKat does have some wifi issues. Some people are reporting issues with 4.4.2 and not with 4.2.2.
Hope that helps.

I have reset the phone after i face the problem after the first day of use. However it does still appear but not in a very frequent like minute or hour basis. The connection drop and wifi disconnects occurs randomly during normal browsing/playstore/ social apps activities. I guess it was very hard to get for replacement under warranty if the problem was not really significant (occurs 2-4 times per day) although it is still under warranty coverage.
Thanks for your advice, i am currently looking towards in accessing device debug log to try to proof them there is something wrong with the wifi on the phone.
For me the same problem happened and i found out the solution by lowering the band of rounter to 54mbps only

Weird wifi behavior

Hello everybody since a few weeks I've been having a weird wifi problem. Sometimes, at random times the wifi disconnects from the network it has been connected on for a while and if I go into wifi settings I see that there are no wifi networks available at all. The only way to fix it is to turn it off and on again. This is really annoying expecially for missed emails and notifications. I really don't understand what the problem is. I've tried 2 different roms, pac before and slimakat now, always doing clean installs. I've also tried different kernels and I'm now on hellscore. I also tried different radios including hybrids (I use one now for lte). Nothing seems to make a difference... Could it be some kernel undervolting setting? I also have suspended back off wakelock, but I guess that's another issue. Also I tried wifi optimization on and off... Any help is appreciated. Thanks

If flash the factory image and see if the problem still persists. If it does you probably have a hardware problem
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Ok thank you. Could undervolting be influencing it? It mostly happens when the phone is in deep sleep or when I get outside a building and I'm connected with wifi and then I got out for a few minutes and back in again...
