I have had my note 3 for a day now and for some reason it disconnects and reconnects to Wi-Fi randomly. I am about 10 feet from my router. Does anyone else have this problem?
Yep. No idea why. Using high output D-Link DAP-2310 10 feet away.

Haven't had any issue. How is your WIFI Advanced menu look like? Here's how mine is configured.
Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep: Always
Always allow scanning: Unchecked
Auto network switch: Unchecked

That's exactly how mine is. It has had to disconnect at least 4 times since I made this post. I hope there's a fix for this. Its pretty irritating.

Hi all,
My brand new Nexus 4 doesn't seem to hold a wi-fi connection with my Netgear WNDR3700v2. I've set up a 2.4 Ghz network connection on channel 1 with an AES security. Added the Nexus 4 with a static ip. It will hold the connection for maybe an 20-30 minutes, but if I don't use the phone for a while (like an hour), the wi-fi connection will drop as soon as I press the power-button. The wi-fi icon just disappears and connects after a few seconds, or it turns from blue to grey, disappears and reconnects.
It's really irritating. My Gnex (Android 4.2) en my girlfriends Gnex (CM 10) both have a stable wi-fi connection with the router, all the time. They have the same settings and my Nexus 4 has, just as my old Gnex, activated the wi-fi optimization setting and disabled avoid poor connections. All phones have keep wi-fi on during sleep at always.
I was wondering if someone has similar problems and maybe have an idea what could be the problem here. Thanks!
is sounds like the same issue on the nexus 7

Check your wifi sleep policy in settings. If its set to "never" it will drop when phone is in deep sleep. Try setting it to "always" and see if that helps.

Thanks, but my posts says "All phones have keep wi-fi on during sleep at always."
I rolled back my router firmware to V1.0.0.12 and everything seems to be ok now. Going to run a few more tests.

Woops my bad.
Has anyone noticed the wifi sleep policy has no effect on the Nexus 4.
I've set mine to keep wifi on during sleep only when plugged in. However wifi remains on all the time. My wife also has a Nexus 4 and exactly the same thing happens. However my Nexus 7 and Galaxy S3 both disable wifi when sleeping.
I've had this problem on lots of different phones,. in the end i used Juice Defender which sorted it out. My Nexus 4 at the moment is behaving itself. On my Motorola Xoom (AOSP) i did a factory reset which fixed it.

I'm pretty sure it worked on the Galaxy Nexus.
Let's put whether its working or not to the side for a bit.
Why would you want to turn off WiFi during sleep in the first place?
I understand why on a WiFi only tablet. Phone, not so much
Only way it works is when you disable the Location settings - all of them + turn off Google Now.
My Nexus consumes too much battery over night with all its WiFi goings on.
WiFi uses less battery then cellular. If you turn off WiFi it it uses the cellular data connection which uses more battery.
If you turn off WiFi and leave your cellular data on it is counter productive to saving battery.

Can you turn off your cellular data and keep wifi on?

Whenever your device has a wifi connection it uses the cellular connection only for phone calls, nothing else. that's what albundy meant.

You can turn on airplane mode, then turn on wifi. That will disable your ability to make calls over the cell network though (I used to do that when I was at home and use Groove IP). Not sure if that is what you are looking for.
Settings, Wi-Fi, advanced. What does the Wi-Fi optimization tick box do?
I'm periodically losing my connection to Google services while my phone is idling on Wi-Fi. Would this help? Would it drastically increase battery consumption?

afaik this option reduces the speed of wifi when the screen is off.

OK so it shouldn't actually shut it off completely though, right?

Hmm, interesting. I think I'm seeing the same thing with GrooVe IP periodically disconnecting from Google Voice. I had an extended email thread with a support person for GrooVe IP, and one of the things he suggested was to turn off Wi-Fi optimization. As far as I can tell, neither "on" nor "off" had any effect on how frequently the connection to Google Voice dropped.
I'd be very interested if anyone has another suggestion.

Did you notice any change in battery life with it checked vs unchecked.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
If there was any change, it was too small to notice in the limited testing I did.
I've noticed that I'm getting disconnected pretty frequently from gtalk when the screen is off. I just turned off Wi-Fi optimization to see if it makes a difference. I have my wifi always on during sleep so I can't think of anything else that would affect this.

I'm experiencing the same problem too but it doesn't have to do with the Wi-Fi optimization setting. Apparently it has something to do with the 4.2 update and our routers. Many others are having the problem too as there's a issue title for it already

That doesn't sound like the issue I'm experiencing. For example, the description there says, "Have to toggle wifi on/off to get it to connect again." Whatever is happening to cause GrooVe IP to lose the connection with Google Voice, it repairs itself automatically; GrooVe IP always reconnects within 30 seconds after a disconnect without any manual intervention on my part (not even opening the app: I'm just watching the status icon in the notification bar).

The problem with GrooVe IP/Google Voice does not occur only when the screen is off; I have watched GrooVe IP disconnect and reconnect with no provocation while I was reading an RSS feed, for example.
GrooVe IP call disruption
I have been noticing GrooVe IP calls getting disrupted all of a sudden while I am on a call on Nexus 4 (4.2 update) as well. There would be no sound for may be 15 seconds or so and then may be the call would get back to normal. Also, in GrooVe IP my bluetooth headset(Voyager 975) voice has been quite "crackly". That is, my voice via the bluetooth headset mic.
uncheck it!

I must thank OP for bringing this to my attention. This past week my N4 have had hard time connecting wifi when I am on different floor from the router. Yesterday i read this thread and then unchecked wifi optimization. Since then, my N4 can always stay online :good:
Thanks!!!
That said, two things I can confirm with my own experience:
1, uncheck it increase wifi reception
2, battery drains slightly faster, but not much. check it only when you are very close to the router.
Similar issue but only on N4
I am having perhaps a related problem with my N4. I do get intermittent disconnect from Wi-Fi, too, but the bigger problem that I am having is that the link speed between the N4 and the router is at 1 Mbps. The status icon shows full bars with "Excellent" signal, but the actual speed is at 1 Mbps (perhaps below).
What's perplexing is that my N7 doesn't have this problem. Same exact OS (4.2.1). I see 65 Mbps, 72 Mbps, etc., on N7 while the N4 next to it shows 1 Mbps. This essentially makes it impossible to do anything in Wi-Fi including VOIP calls.
Are there routers that are known to work well with N4? My router is old and I wouldn't mind changing it if there is one.
Same issue here stock unrooted. Speeds slow to a crawl. I found to get 1mbps I can put the phone in airplane mode and shut off GPS the rest of the devices in the house on the same router get 15-20mbps

No, for wifi speed should be "pm_fast"

Hi,
My nexus 4 is rooted with Carbon ROM 4.3 and Franco kernel. When the phone sleeps it pauses the downloads when I am connected to wifi. In the wifi advanced settings I have the "keep wifi on during sleep" setting set to always. I'm not sure why this is happening. Anyone have any ideas to troubleshoot?
Thanks

This is the default behavior of Android. I know some kernels have tweaks to prevent Wi-Fi from sleeping,I don't know for this device though.

Looks like I need to turn off Wifi optimization in settings.
Nexus7
Have you tried unticking WiFi optimisation?
You may have to reconnect after changing the setting.
I may try that.
Nexus7
Also uncheck "Avoid poor connections", because it will disconnect from the wifi if the signal goes lower than a certain range.

Hi there. It connects fine as soon as I turn the screen on. Not sure what the problem is. I believe it's a 5.1.1 issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/wifi-issue-t3059452
That link has the same issue and they couldn't figure it out either.
In wifi advanced settings check the wifi sleep policy..

I've tried everything. It's not that the wifi turns off when screen is off. It's that it stops scanning to connect to a new network automatically. It'll stay connected to whatever wifi I'm on as long as I'm in range but as soon as I'm out of range, it won't reconnect.
I had the same issue with some non Touchwiz roms like CM and GPE. I believe this is caused by the router. While I am at work it keeps disconnecting, while at home there is no problem at all. So I believe router is the cause of the problem. If you have access to the router, I would try setting to different channels and try.

Thanks for the advice. I had thought that too but I've tested other routers as well. It's a software issue as it works fine on Touchwiz. It's not that it disconnects, it just doesn't switch to any other saved network when the screen is off. As soon as I turn on the screen, it connects right away. All routers and SSIDs.
