Wifi slow on A5 (2016) after 6.0.1 update - Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I've been having an issue with my A5 after I updated from lollipop, WiFi acts strange. I've tried wiping cache partition and reinstalling the firmware via smartswitch but nothing changed.
The best way to describe it is that it's laggy, for example, if I try opening a web page in chrome it takes about 10 seconds for it to respond and then it opens it up right away. Same thing with sending pics on whatsapp etc...
When I open speedtest, it takes 10-15 seconds before I even get the "begin test" button, but once it starts, it reads correct internet speed. It's weird... WiFi works perfectly fine with all my other devices and it used to work great on Lollipop.

Actually, it is not slow on all wifi networks... for some reason it's slow on my home router, but on most others it works perfectly fine which is strange cause on Lollipop it worked perfectly fine on my home router.... strange

4.3 problems

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?

YouTube is messed up atm, video`s freeze while audio continious or vice versa. Hope Google will fix it soon with a update. Whatsapp loads fast for me, no lag or delay here. Try clearing the data of Whatsapp data in /setting/apps/downloaded apps.

Fire HD8 2017 5.4.0.0 Slow Browsing

Hi guys, just received my HD8 2017 version 5.4.0.0, i installed Google Play Services and of course, Google Play Store.
The system in pretty smooth and everything is working fine except for browsing: for some reason, on some websites it takes ages to load and sometime it won't load completely.
The fun fact is that i've got this problem with Silk but also with Google Chrome or Firefox.
I suspect the problem is somehow related to hardware acceleration but i might be wrong.
Is someone else experiencing that same issue?
Update
Appartently, the issue is somehow related to my wireless connection, i tried with another connection and the problem was no longer there.
The strange thing is that every other device in my house, android and windows, work just fine with any website.
I ran a speedtest(.net) on both my home wifi and my work wifi, which are both well above 50mbps connections, and seem to be capped at about 3.5mbps dl. When I switch to a mobile hotspot that I create with my GS7 Edge, I shoot up to about 35mbps. Any ideas as to why there would be a difference? Thanks!!
Yup, having the same issue. Would greatly appreciate any ideas as to why.
I'm using one and connections take what feels like 10 seconds to open. When I open a URL it takes that long before the page starts to open, then much longer before the images load. When Amazon pages update, there's a long delay as well. Seems to affect more than just the browser. It reminds me of what a connection with very high latency would feel like. I've tried resetting to factory to no avail.
UPDATE: @boom1995 gave me an idea to try out another connection. I fired up tethering on my phone and connected to that. It seems to have solved the problem...immediate page lots now. I guess there is something odd with the home wifi...even though my laptop works fine with the home wifi. Weird!

Issues after Oreo Update

After updating my Moto G5 Plus to Android Oreo 8.1, I am facing many issues with it. Some of them which I noticed so far are-
1. Fingerprint scanner stops working occasionally: It doesn't respond at all sometimes. I had to restart my phone every time to make it work again.
2. Wi-Fi connectivity is not stable: It gets disconnected from Wi-Fi networks very often.
3. Turbo charging is not working: The fast charging is not fast. It takes longer than usual to charge my phone's battery after the update.
4. It's slow: It has become slow after the update. Very slow in responses. Even deleting a text message takes 10 seconds.
Do we have fix for these issues?

Have you tried backing-up your data and performing a factory reset?
Which ROM version did you update to?
Mine is nothing like this, that's strange. But, my Whatsapp has now a bug, I can't take photos inside a chat anymore, the camera just doesn't shoot. I have to open the Cam app normally, take a photo and then attach it to the conversation.

Same. I've noticed that if you switch to front camera and then back to back camera it will work inside the chat.

I did have the WiFi bug...very irritating to say the least...no other problems though...you should back up your data and do a factory reset...might help...didn't help me with the WiFi issue..But. I guess that was due to weak wifi signals...in a strong wifi zone it doesn't disconnect..
Hope it gets fixed.
Cheers!:laugh:
Is there any patch for Volte on Airtel & Vodafone networks in India for the latest stock Oreo build ?? Volte turns out to be really useful and till now only Reliance Jio supports VOLTE in India.

Been on Oreo for a few months... I have had none of these problems.
I have seen some delays in editing, but nothing like 10 seconds... switching to Swiftkey cleared it up... Google keyboard seemed to be the cause.
Close all the background apo which uses camera feature such as instagram, Snapchat then try

I'm on stock Oreo and I have this weird Wi-Fi issue where it disconnects, even when my device is literally next to the Router. After the update, I have done a Factory reset but this annoying issue still exist. I am ready to flash a custom ROM if it can solve the WiFi issue.

Hey,
My WiFi issue seems to have resolved without having to flash a custom rom..I didn't do anything in particular apart from factory reset a couple of times(incidentally)...flashing a custom rom should definitely help you with the issue..

Let me try resetting my phone a couple of times. I see no other way than to flash a custom ROM if it doesn't get solved. with factory reset. Thanks

Also if it helps I didn't reset the phone multiple times consecutively... I used it for a few weeks in between the resets..

This is a well documented issue with the Lineage 15.1 Oreo ROM, at least on my Samsung tablet. Makes me wonder if it's a bug in the Oreo code.

Wifi stop working in sleep and after waking up

Hi, im having this problem for a while, and some other phones are showing this problem also (here)
in summary, phone connect to WiFi, works great, turn screen off, put phone down, and after a while, phone is now unreachable. can't connect to it if i have a ftp server on it for example, can't connect on whatsapp on the PC cause it need the phone connected to work, messages won't arrive, or arrive after 15 minutes of delay.
if i pick up the phone, unlock, WiFi does not work, it keep showing only the "up" arrow and no "download" arrow. can't connect to internet, can't connect to local PC (VNC for example) nothing works. after 30 seconds or so, it comes back, and internet works. sometimes it does not. disabling WiFi and enabling again, everything works fine. if put to sleep, everything start again.
the weird thing is, usually after update to a new version of MIUI (for example, the last 12.0.5.0 a few weeks ago) the problem goes away for a few days. always works great, every time, no problems. a few days later, the problem appears again.
tried everything i could find, no option helped, tried even disabling magisk/xposed, etc, to make sure no "mod" was causing it, nothing.
my only options now are formatting and starting from 0 or try another ROM, like LineageOS, but i'm trying to avoid cause i have tons of customized apps, bunch of banking apps, and everything works fine, except for this one problem.
any help appreciated!
PS: during the whole time, the wifi do not get "disconnected", it remains connected but not working. also tried different routers, no change. using only 2.4ghz.
I installed Lineage OS, the problem didn't show up anymore.
installed all the apps previously installed, everything still working fine for over a week.
I guess was just software related...
