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

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.

I have the same problem wifi drops out alot and I have it set to never sleep and performance mode but yet it drops all the time!
By the way DO NOT FLASH THE BELL SBF ON AN ATT DEVICE OR YOU WILL BRICK FOR SURE!
I really hope you att guys can get hspa unlocked similar to the telstra sbf. It has completely changed my phone.

I'm another one with wifi dropping even with the right configuration. Is an update the only hope to get a decent wifi?

Haha thx. I was hoping for a response to that before I actually did it just in case people have already tried it or its known that it will brick the device.

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?

LOL, no. I wish that were the case cause if so, it wouldn't drop the connection when i have it on the table and just play around with it =/
This is why I returned my atrix. I was hoping one of the updates fixed it as I was considering picking the phone back up.

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!
Hey you all! I've been looking at threads in the last couple of days but I cannot find and answer to my question. I'm sure someone here has addressed it but I need a little help. I have a MyTough 4G and I have used at least 5 different ROMs with it but since I nuked my stock ROM, I haven't connected at 4G in the T-Mo network. What am I missing?

Maybe you deleted the 4g compatibility on accident? I don't know just a guess.

Which ROMs have you tried and used, also does your living area support 4g service? If it does support it what radio are you currently on?

Does your signal bar say H? If so, you have 4G.
Did you checked apn settings!?
Most of the ROMs I've used do not say 4G. Like estallings15 said, if it says H, that means you're on 4G.
Well I can say I used to have a similar problem unless I was on a version of cm. Not sure if this fixed it but I went back to stock unrooted for unrelated reasons and then ended up rooting again and have noticed that I haven't seen the problem arise again.
But the ROMs do stay on 3g until the "4g" speeds are needed

Hi guys,
Yesterday i rooted my S4 4G.
My phone is from Europe, and i used a root for T-Mobile.
I know, i was dumb, didn´t read the entire topic...
Now my phone is rooted but my Wifi don't switch, it stays always off :crying::crying::crying:
The other features is working normaly, including bluetooth.
What can i do to fix this?
TY!
GD
It seems you need to do a factory reset and then try back the right rooting procedure, anyway this forum is for S4 active which is not a regular S4, so go to the right forum and you'll find better answers.

Attention to detail is important in both following directions and posting to the proper forum.
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!

I wouldn't put up with that, either. But my N3's WiFi and 4G connections have been excellent. Have you tried exchanging your phone?
I'd love to dump mine also .. having all the same issues in regards to the WiFi and network connectivity. Problem I have, I rooted mine and now I get that B/S "Custom" boot .. I've read through everything up here in regards to getting rid of that boot screen and so far NOTHING has worked. So right now, unless I find a way to hard brick my phone, I'm stuck with this damn thing.

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.

Hi xda community
I have some strange problems with my Note 3 N9005. I will try to explain it as good as I can...
I was on Omega Rom v19 and 4g and everything was good...
So I wanted to upgrade to the new v20 based on Sammy tw XXUFNF4...
I thought I would like to try the new modem as well, so I flashed stock Sammy rom XXUFNF4 via Odin before I flashed v20 of Omega on top of it.
Flash went well, both of stock Sammy and Omega rom...
But before I used to have 4g coverage in my house, now I have NADA. Well, that's not the problem here...
I have tried flashing other modems and some of them work, but still no 4g coverage in my house. The ones which doens't work gives me "unknown baseband and unknown imei" - I can fix that by flashing a modem which I know works for me.
I have tried many things now and I still get no 4g in my house.
I have wiped and flashed stock Sammy firmwares and even there it gives me the error "unknown imei and unknown baseband"
I am getting frustrated here and I just want to kill my Note 3 with a hammer.
Anyone outthere who can help me? I can write via hangouts and skype if so...
If there's any questions, please let me know...
/CK
Just to check, does 4G work somewhere else? Because I had a similar problem once, and it turned out the tower had suffered a lightning strike...

At least we know the modem does allow 4G. It's not broken
So that leaves either a low voltage to the modem, or a very unlucky timing in regards to the tower. It is possible the lower-frequency band on the 4G transmitter is disabled (and high ones above 1800 can't penetrate indoors) or the transmitter's aim has been repositioned. Or the modem isn't getting enough juice.
Check with your carrier if there's an issue with the tower, or if they did any maintenance on it. (They repositioned the aim for the transmitter here after the lightning strike, and now I can't even get the GSM network in my house. I have to hang out the window to make a call...)
If that's not it, try increasing the voltage to the modem.

I believe Synapse provides an interface for the voltage controls, but I can not guarantee if it's supported. And I can't promise that it's safe, either.
But I do suspect it's a carrier problem. Is the 4G everywhere else as strong as it was before things went haywire? If yes, it's not the voltage. (if it was, the signal would be worse everywhere, and not just in one place. )

If I flash a modem, some works, some dont. The ones which isnt working gives me unknown baseband and unknown imei, but that can be fixed by flashing a working modem.
It's the same when I flash stock firmwares. Some modem works, some dont. Just like above... Make any sense?

As a general model-related piece of information for Note 3 - I believe modems and the bootloader itself can not be (successfully) written from outside "trusted/secure zones" - in other words you need stock recovery at least for that to work. In download mode it should also work but again there are extra security checks there on the signature.
Update:
Talked to the operator today. There were no errors or recent work on their towers near me...
/CK
That's what we always say, too, when a customer asks. It's generally a lie. Particularly when the maintenance was supposes to improve things.
Did you install anything in your house that might cause interference? Router, microwave, something that covers the wall closest to the tower, a wallpaper with metallic components? New isolation? Or possibly neighboirs closer to the tower that did? (In my neighbourhood, when my neighbours between me and the tower open their windows, I get 3G. When they close it, nought. Oh the joys of reinforced concrete... )
