T-Mobile S8
It happened last night 3 times. The only way I would know is the pop-up when you successfully connect to a WiFi network.
Installed the update and went to bed.
Using the phone for about an hour this morning and suddenly a page wouldn't load--turns out WiFi had dropped, and as soon as I noticed it reconnected again.
Anyone else experiencing this? The only reason I switched phones in the first place is because my Nexus 6p started dropping LTE and GPS for a few seconds randomly...
Really hope my phone isn't defective because I won the lottery on everything else (Sony camera sensors, no major tint on the display--some, but not very significant).
????????
This seems to be a related thread with a lot more discussion than is going on in the actual Q&A. They suggest that it's a known problem for more than a year and on other Samsung devices, affecting the 5Ghz wifi band, and as a solution it is recommended to disable "smart network switch" as well as disabling via location settings the option for bluetooth scanning even when bluetooth isn't enabled.
Sucks that you have to break multiple features to fix one longstanding bug. ?

Has anyone been having any issues when connecting to wifi since updating to the recent OTA for the Desire HD?
It seems sporadic, because sometimes i will have full signal and then it will cut out even when i am right next to my router. And other times it just doesnt show any signal, and says connected and other little things like this. I am just wondering if anyone else has suffered from this problem or anything like it?
My device is working perfectly fine after the update.

What I've noticed is that my Wifi doesn't seem to turn off. I've got it set to sleep after 15mins, but it doesn't seem to be after the OTA. need to do a bit more investigation to see for sure though.

@OP - I am experiencing very minor Signal loss in Wifi after the update. it goes down by a Bar....But No disconnection or degraded Wifi Performance
After the OTA i have wifi problems all of a sudden too.
I think it has something to do with the wifi sleep thing or something.
When i turn on the screen after some..hour(s)
Wifi says it is at 100% strength, but when i open a page it says cannot be found.
I have to restart wifi to get internet working again.
haven't done a factory reset, dunno if that will help anything?
Everything perfect.
very good battery life (maybe double)
smoothness
photos +
video excellent
as good wifi as before
maybe this sms problem, but I don't receive sms so can't talk about

I am experiencing this issue too running the 1.72 OTA.
I have the wifi sleep policy set to "after 15 mins". Wifi works fine in general. However sometimes, when I wake the phone after a while, it shows a full wifi signal but no data transmits. As above, wifi has to be restarted to get it running again.
I had the same. After the update the Wifi connection randomly was lost and sometimes I had to close the HD and restart.
However, a few days ago I did a factory reset and now my HD seems to be behaving like never before. No battery issues and my wifi always is fine.
hi, sometimes when i look at my phone, usually after being on wifi the phone shows no bars.
sometimes it comes back on in a min, i tried airplane mode but it wouldnt work. so i restarted it and worked fine.
not sure why it happens, does anyone else have this? could it be due to some Wifi calling setting? not sure why phone seems to just cut off.
anyone have any idea why this may be happening?
does it turn off radio for wifi calling somehow or? just random.
I have a similar issue, but not equal. Sometimes, when I try to connect to the network I always do (home), it simply doesn't work. Scanning - disconnected - scanning - disconnect. Only a phone reset fixes this.
Sheep ROM 2.0
AbyssNote Kernel 2.5
I had a similar issue a while ago and sent Mine back to the seller but the seller claimed neither they nor Samsung could find a problem with the phone. Thankfully The seller sent me a replacement which no longer gives me this problem so it may be the handset, though it could also be the setting/Conflicting app. Someone reported here his problem Was solved after adjusting a w ifi regulating app
i have a 3-day old gnote and i started noticing this problem after i have my phone rooted. the wifi icon stays on but there's no internet connection. turning the screen off and waking the phone after a minute solves the problem but its annoying to be losing connection when you're needing it. i'm on stock KKA.

Not a user error so need to contact Samsung-don't think is anyway
I have a somewhat similar problem. When I am using wifi for somewhat long time, I am unable to connect back to my 3g. Or if I was on 3g connection and I move out of coverage area for a little more than 10 minutes, I can't reconnect to 3g. Only 3g connection has this problem though, everything else works fine.
If I restart the phone, I can reconnect. Setting to airplane mode and resetting doesn't help. Neither does resetting the mobile network operators.
Yes, the problem seems to be software related since there is no actual problem with receiving 3g/phone.
yesterday i drove back 10 hrs and streamed music/radio the entire way with only a few tiny interruptions in reception.
but often still if i just take my phone out of my pocket, the "phone" part will be off and usually turn back on within 1-2 mins.
but this is quite annoying since sometimes il literally be waiting for 1-2 mins to place a call.
my phone is "not" rooted.
My Wi-Fi keep on and off dunno what is wrong and I check my connection is good
I'm getting this odd behaviour plague me recently, WiFi decides to sleep at random moments, even though it's always on during sleep. It is driving me nuts. No other devices have this problem. My Nexus 5 seems to have a better Wi-FI connection.
For a while now (around a month) I've noticed my HTC 10 disconnecting from my wifi for a couple seconds, seemingly randomly. I tried a new router about a week ago, but it just started doing it again.
I have settings like "Auto-Switch to mobile network" off, and "Keep wifi on during sleep" set to always. I'm on the Stock rom, rooted but not s-off. Is anyone else having this issue, or know of any way to fix it?
Haven't had this issue on my 10. I was worried before I decided to get the 10 about reports that this was happening to people. I had this issue on my EVO LTE. I am convinced it was a hardware issue on that phone.
I'm experiencing issues with the network, I often have to go to plane mode then disable it to get my connection back (I always have the 4G logo on screen, but internet pages won't load, facebook either, well everything) I'm seeing posts about the WiFi issue, but nothing about this, am I the only one experiencing this ? It occurs every 5 minutes or so, pretty annoying when you are in the middle of a youtube video or so..)
Thank you in advance !
I could say I have the same issue.
I realize this post is 2 months old but I also have this exact same problem. Data on WiFi works perfectly fine. On actual mobile data though it works great for a long period of time (hours - days) then suddenly gets horrible. Disabling and re-enabling data seems to fix it most of the time, then it works great again for a good while.
Would this indicate a software glitch? I've been wondering if I should try some custom ROMs. Or would it be a problem with the physical antenna or data module in the phone?
I'm on the verge of sending it back under warranty but if it's software maybe something else can be done to fix.
