Hi. I bought the phone a month ago.
I noticed that the stock wifi manager is very weak as in the same position with 2 wifi managers from playstore i get like 1 with stock and 2-4 with the external app. Also comparing any other phones wifi i get the less available wifi networks while scanning.
Is this normal or is there any solution to this?
Thank you in advance

I have an AT&T Galaxy tab running overcome 3.1 & and I'm having problems with the wifi just stopping despite the wifi showing as connected in the task bar. First I was using a Sprint ET4G as my hotspot and I thought that might be the culprit with the whole LOS thing, but it's doing the same on my Galaxy Nexus on VZW. It's really annoying because sometimes turning wifi on/off works but sometimes I have to reboot the whole device.
Does anyone have a fix? I don't really want to load a new ROM because I have everything set up the way I want it, but I just dropped the data plan for AT&T and it's important that I'm not pissing with the wifi connection as I'm driving down the interstate.
Thanks in advance!
This seems to be an issue with all tab's.
There is constant reports on the tab forums.
I'm currently testing a 3rd party wifi manager to see if it resolves the issue.
I can't post up any links yet but search wifi manager on the market.
Hey guys, I got my nexus 7 on Friday and spent the weekend playing with it. At home, the wifi strength on the tablet was fine but last night I brought it to my residence and noticed that I barely got any bars. It is a bunch of us sharing the network and the router is about 8 or 9 rooms down. Because of the distance to the router I get a maximum of 2-3 bars on my laptop (anywhere in the room) but I barely get any on my tablet (I only get maybe 1 bar near the window which keeps going on and off). I tried the following apps: Network signal booster, Network signal speed booster and Wifi booster easy connect. None of these seemed to work. I am new to android and I only tried these apps after researching. Is there any other app that would really help or anyone knows how I can fix this? Thanks

Try turning off wifi and turning it on again. I always get full bars on my laptop and full bars on my nexus and just out of random sometimes it cuts out and goes blank. I just turn it off then back on then boom back to normal

I noticed that the wifi signal would go blank after it has been on charge for couple of hours.
Do you have any other wifi devices that work? It may just be that your laptop can pick up the signal because it has more antennas/a more powerful wireless card than the nexus, in which case you're out of luck without a repeater.
Can I do anything on my laptop? or make it a hotspot somehow?

Try connectify (http://www.connectify.me). It'll make your laptop act like a wifi repeater, so as long as your laptop gets signal you'll be fine.

As for your Wi-Fi going to sleep while inactive/on charge, try this
Settings > WI-FI > (now click the 3 dots once you are in the WI-FI section) Click Advanced > Change "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" to Only When Plugged in (if that's what you want).
One problem solved, hopefully.

If you have an old android phone you may use fqrouter2 for rooted Android devices and you have a perfectly working WiFi Repeater (available free in Google Play Store)
Upon searching the web it seems like many other people are experiencing the same kind of bug where the wifi drops and even says it low signal when you know for a fact its full signal. I have a e3000 fairly old router but good, sitting right next to it and i get these messages with the note 3 about the wifi being unstable. Some people said to uncheck the auto switch to 4g in the advanced wifi settings but that doesnt fix it either. Anyone else having the same problems?
Looking under my WiFi setting and I don't have an ADVANCE line to go to. I only have 1 line that reads Notify me. I started getting 'Unstable Network today' and I'm not connecting currently.
Hello every one, this is my problem with Elephone S7:
When activated, the WiFi, after a few minutes goes on standby and no longer works.
can you help me?
my best regards
Hello,
i can not confirm this problem but have you checked your wifi-settings on your phone. May its defined that your phone wont let WiFi activated in stand-by.
You can check this under "advanced" option in wifi settings.
What means "No longer Works"? Did the phone lost the complete connection - no signal?
Has your phone still an ip-adress? You can also Check this under advanced in wifi settings.
What IP-address lease time is configured on your wifi router?
Best regards

for no longer works i mean that i've turn off, and again on, to use again WiFi, but after minutes i've again off and on
In wifi settings the option for wifi in "always on".
i've an ip address on the phone, and my router works wit other smartphone/tablet android.
sorry for my english
I bought an Elephone S7 recently and have similar problems. This is more prominent when wifi signal is weak. Very annoying.
In general, I get very poor WIFI performance. I compared with my wife's old HTC M8 and S7's performance is 5 to 10 times slower.
I am trying to return it.

Hi!
I have Nokia 6 with Android version 7.1.1 and ever since the first use in July I found the Wi-Fi hotspot very unstable: when connecting my laptop to the Wi-Fi hotspot run on the phone, it's often that laptop connectivity hangs, it doesn't matter i use 5GHz or 2.4GHz. In the area I live there's full signal and same location and same SIM card using old crap Huawei has been working just fine. Has anybody hit the same issue? I read a bit around this may have something to do with Android 7 version.
Thanks for any help!
