Ever since I installed the Wifi based TW ROM I have had issues with the wifi stopping. The issue continues with the official rom (with root and deoxed). It is set to be on in software but says disconnected. If I reboot device it works fine again.
Anyone else have this issue? I am very close to going back to stock even though I like the new way of doing notifications.
Same problem here. Simple way to solve it to enable and disable Airplane Mode... But yeah.. its really annoying. So any fix would be very helpful.
I've had the same problem recently. Did either of you install the free wifi server app that the Amazon store offered a day or two ago? That's when it seemed to start so I just removed it so see if that fixes my issue... here's hoping!
Same problem here, but it just started the day before yesterday. I've had Touchwiz since a day or two after I bought the device (almost two weeks). Hadn't thought to toggle airplane mode, thanks for that tip. Beats power cycling every morning.

I had similar issue with the stock Galaxy rom. Since the TouchWhiz update however, it has been running extremely well.
So after uninstalling the WiFi File Explorer Pro my WiFi has worked fine without any connection issues. Just like before and after TW. I also had a weird issue that wouldn't recognize finger presses on the lockscreen after waking up once every 10 to 20 times.
If you installed this app or something similar it might be worth a shot to remove it.
Not sure if this is a problem with the phone or some settings i'm missing. I bought the phone 2 weeks ago so i think there is still time to get a replacement but i was wondering if anyone has seen this problem before.
The stock weather widget that is on the home screen by default does not refresh the weather sometimes. If you manually click on the refresh sign from the home screen, it shows it trying to refresh but nothing changes. Same happens if you open the app and refresh from there.
I have data turned on, sync, gps, etc. Nothing i can see that would be stopping it.
The problem is fixed if i reboot the phone. If the phone has been up for about 6-7 hours it still does the refresh just fine. If its been up for 30+ hours the problem above starts happening.
I have another S4 as well, have not been able to catch if the same thing happens with it, but a side by side comparison of "status" and all the apps running is identical and where my phone fails to update the weather (up time over 30 hours) this other one works just fine (up time 5 hours).
The only difference between the 2 is that my phone is rooted.
Happened with my s2. Not my s4
I think i was able to narrow it down and i'm starting to think there is nothing wrong here.
Clearing cache/data on the app also brings it back so no need to re-start. But the failed refresh seems to happen when i'm not able to get a GPS signal. (would be nice if it actually dont you this with an error pop up or something) Still need to try it a few more times but im 95% certain its timing out if it cant lock on GPS. It only seems to happen inside.
The other phone was working even without GPS turned on, which i thought was odd.I later found that it was not displaying current city, but instead was just configured to display the city i happened to be in.
I have Wi-Fi problems with 4.3. Seems to disconnect and be sluggish at downloading. Anyone else?
Also seen some strange flickering sometimes in apps.

I'm having the same issue with the Wifi connection being dropped on both my Nexus 10 and Gnex with 4.3, both were Ok yesterday but have started acting up this afternoon
EDIT: Ok it seems the problem was with my router! Guess I should have checked that beforehand!
I have experienced something similar. Reported in this tread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2384328
I have not noticed that I drop wifi but notice in Chrome (99% of table use is with Chrome) that sometime when I click a link, open a bookmark, or a direct URL that it sometimes just sits and spins for anywhere between 5 and 60 seconds. I never get a timeout and indication I have lost network but it takes forever. Its really random, some pages load extremely fast (few seconds) but sometimes those same urls load really really slow. Don't notice this on my phone (on wifi) or computers and never noticed it on my N10 with 4.2.2. I did a full wipe and installed the 4.2.2 image then accepted the OTA yesterday to see if that would fix it. I'm not sure yet. It seems better but I had a least 1 case where is was slow again last night. This could have been the website so I need some more time to determine if it's fixed...

Although early in the experience curve, on my system You Tube videos are constantly stopping and restarting, waiting for the stream. I rarely experienced that with 4.2.2 so am hoping it is a issue that resolves itself.
Interesting... I find that WiFi has improved on my Nexus 10. At home, my Nexus would drop the network connection periodically and then reconnect about 5 seconds later. So far on 4.3 I haven't seen this happen.
I have no problem with WiFi on 4.3
I've had WIFI issues for as long as I've owned my N10. It just recently stopped working (couldn't reply in hangouts) so I turned off WIFI. When I turned it back on, it would just say authentication error. I had to reboot the N10 to get it to reconnect.

I noticed the ytube issue too. I changed from auto to 2.4ghz under advanced and so far seems better but not sure yet..
Well no luck with 2.4Ghz. The issue is very sporadic, sometimes everything works great and but then all of a sudden Chrome takes forever to access a new url. I have determined it's not Chrome, it's just that is what I mostly use on my tablet. I have seen this several times in Youtube and so when this happend i grab my phone (on wifi) to see if it could be network related but everything works flawlessly on my phone. I started doing some speeds tests to help troubleshoot this issue and the wifi performance is across the board whereas it's very consistent on my phone wifi. When I had one of these delays last night I immediately switched over to my speedtest.net app and it reported that it could not access the internet! My wifi signal indicator never indicates that I have lost wifi. Definitely something strange going on here. I have already factory wiped my tablet twice (originally going to 4.3 and after to troubleshoot this issue) and it never happened on 4.2.2 or on my Phone wifi there had got to be an issue with Wifi on 4.3. Just wonder why more people are not having issues. I might try swapping out my WAP but considering all worked great on 4.2.2 and it currently works fine on my phone wifi that would frustrating if it turns out to be my wifi.

Followup: The YouTube slowdown continued and after a few hours the internet connection became so slow that it would take several minutes to load a single web page. My internet connection on my Mac acted normally during this time. In the end I could not even get text pages to load in the XDA app. After rebooting several times, cleaning caches, turning wifi off and on, cycling thru the wifi advanced options and flashing the Monkey kernel I finally gave up and restored a Rootbox nandroid backup. My roadmap to the 4.3 install was: formatting all memory (including data/media), restoring my rooted stock 4.2.2 nandroid backup, and then fastbooting the JWR66V from JDQ39 OTA zip file. I then re-rooted by installing Chainfire's Update-SuperSu-v1.43.zip. I have no idea what I did wrong with the installation but will wait with 4.3 until updated 4.3 custom roms become available. Currently I am very satisfied with Rootbox so waiting is not an issue.
Has anyone with those problems tried to turn on/off WiFi optimizations in advanced WiFi settings?

Yes, tried that and it didn't help. I'm now torn between going back to 4.2.2 or staying on 4.3 cause I just picked up a Miracast adapter... Man i hate it when they create new bugs with things that had no issues in the first place!
I figured out that my laptop makes the wifi on my nexus VERY slow.

I have found that switching to my 5 ghz setting on my Asus router has solved this issue for me.

Since 4.3 has anyone else found that copying text from pretty much any application crashes the app?

I've had the 4.4.2 OTA about 2-3 weeks now, and for the most part its worked fine but as things go on I am noticing it starting to go a bit buggy. I have had issues with my Wifi, like this morning turned the phone on and it would not connect to my wifi, sure it saw it and it had full strenght but it would not connect to it, I went in manually and selected it nope nothing, I forgot network and connected again, nope nothing, restarted the phone nope, after 5 restarts it connected. I've also had issues with wifi connecting when coming out of airplane mode, everything else turns on but I have to mess around with wifi to get it going again.
Also had issues with apps crashing randomly, also had periods of sluggishness for no apparent reasons.
Anyone any ideas?
About the Wifi, try the Wi-Fi fix in this forum, maybe that'll help. For me stock is going absolutely fine. I was on OmniROM, but the updates start becoming a little buggy for me, so I switched back to Stock.
My Note 3 has recently started having an issue where it would randomly disable WiFi and when I go to re-enable it the icon partially lights up for a minute as if it is working on it and then after a little while it will go out again and stay disabled. Does anyone know what may cause this?
Would a bad battery which has expanded cause this? The phone feels like the battery may be a bit bloated again.
A couple weeks ago I had the same issue and Google Docs, Sheets, Drive, and Slides were all launching themselves non-stop, I had to close them and then quickly force stop and uninstall them before they came up again and blocked me. After these apps were removed I was able to connect to WiFi again. It seemed like they were taking up all of my processing power so the phone could not finish starting the wifi modem. But now I am stumped as to why the wifi will not turn on this time. No apps seem to be trying to take over the screen like the Gsuite apps did.
I still don't know why the Gsuite apps started misbehaving out of nowhere. Any insight on that would be great too.
Thank you.
Replacing the battery with one that is less bloated appears to have resolved the wifi issue. But some apps keep stopping randomly.
