Just a heads up!!!
New firmware 4.0.A.2.368, finally cleans up this mess!!!
Was a MAJOR issue affecting MANY users relating to WPA and wifi:
Although it took 3 months glad to see SE addressing the issue.
Too bad i already bought another phone because of this issue.
Guess my NEO can be my backup phone now!
If you are one of the many experiencing this issue then update immediately!
This is the response from SE:

"Hi all, I've been monitoring this thread closely and I would like to know how many of you that still experience Wi-Fi problems using the latest (August) update? 4.0.A.2.368. I know that this update contains Wi-Fi improvements."
Works fine here
But it wasn't a really big issue for me, it reconnected fast.
But it's really good to see it fixed.

The new firmware has INTRODUCED these wifi problems for me.. bleh!
I doubt SE doesn't really fix the problem, and just monitors the disconnection and try to restart network.
This affects someone that had no problem before.
Still the same here.. :/ I´m on global generic and it still drops the connection. From what I´ve heard UK generic doesn´t have this issue but suffers from major battery drain

Nope - UK Generic, no WiFi issues, no battery issues.
Big deal is to absolutely ensure that you do a full factory reset BEFORE and AFTER the update. Stops random reboots too...
If you haven't, try it.
I second this. Had the same wifi-disconnect-after-a-few-minutes-of-usage issue with the 184 and 145. The problem finally went away after I flashed back to 184, then upgraded to 4.0.A.2.368.
The arc now:
- no wifi disconnect issue. connects extremely fast now.
- boots up extremely fast. i would say at least 70% improvement.
- the whole user experience is a lot smoother, quicker, snappier.

Full factory reset?? How so??
Go to Setting -> Privacy -> Factory data reset. That will reset the phone back to factory setting.
hi guys after 2 weeks finally i found out a solution for my home wifi internet then my android phone now work like champ .so i hope that something im about to write here will help you:
(i have 1 modem adsl named Postef,1 Wifi Access point named Planet WRT415)
here are what i did :
1) change the IP address of Modem to :192.168.1.1
change the IP address of AP to 192.168.1.2
2) change the channel of AP to 9
At the first time my modem and AP have the same IP which is 192.168.1.1 so when i use iphone4 and laptop to browse 192.168.1.1 it logged in to the Modem but my Android phone logged in to the AP so that is the problem ,the android phone can not distinguish if you use the same IP for Modem and AP
Dear Friends,
has some who owned note 4 faced a continuous loosing data connection?
I have been facing this issue for the passed one week till now, I have tried to format the device but the problem is still there, I have not done anything to the device.
I called my ISP and they said that there is no problem with your sim card.
please advise if anyone of you had similar issue.
thanks

I've just experienced this today on my 1 day old N910C, I'm on 4G and suddenly earlier today my 4G mobile data indicator disappeared but it still showing the usual signal bars. Tested browsing, no mobile data it said. Tried putting it to Airplane mode then back to normal, didn't bring mobile data back. Rebooted it, then it's working again.
Not yet to see this problem but my friend's Note 4 had this problem. In the end he brought it to the service center and they replace the mainboard. Still wait and see if it fixes the problem.
it happened me before on other samsung devices too. generally an update fixes it but could be hardware problem too.
Hopefully its software related ive seen a slew of note 4s have this issue both variants included.. its annoying to say the least
Hi, I just got my phone, may i know whether you guys have resolved the issues?? i need to turn the flight mode on and off a few times to get the data connection back online
I sent back to Samsung services center, it seems that they said they reprogram the software. Will observe and see how it goes.
Mines all good now few updates and new provider all good ?
Hi guys, I've experienced the same issue, the mobile data connection suddenly drops (H+ icon doesn't disappear but the download arrow is off, meaning that there's no inbound traffic) and the only way to have the connection back is to to disable mobile data and than reactivate it. I've updated my phone, I even tried to install firmwares of other countries (different csc) and to change carrier but I haven't solved the problem (same situation on my friend's N4).
Hi
i had a problem with wifi. weak or no connection.
100% solution for my note:
go to settings=>location=>use GPS ONLY.
perhaps it solves also your problem...
Hello all! Just faced the same problem! Losing internet connection. Did anyone find a solution?
Note 4
Yes this is BS. If I go to a place with no data service, then travel back to a place with data service, I have to first disable then re-enable the "Mobile Data" toggle in the settings. It's such BS that this is happening. My note 3 NEVER has this problem. Starting to dislike Samsung's buggy releases.
Same issues..

----- got same problem here.. keep drop the signal.. until fedup already.. can someone solve this thing? Need answer.. T_T
Any news on topic? I'm facing with internet on mobile connection, even if bars are full and LTE sign is visible.
I've also noticed some lack of signal during usage, even if I'm constantly in city.
Hi guys
Just got a and s8 and its the first phone I've been able to use Wi-Fi calling on. I'm on vodafone uk and the WiFi calling works okay. I've just got a question though.
At home I generally get an okay mobile signal but the WiFi calling symbol remains even though i have 2 bars. Is this normal? I though WiFi calling would only kick in when your signal was really weak?
Many thanks
Hi just a question do you have any problems with wifi calling? Just that I'm on vodafone and when using wifi calling no-one can hear me when I talk.
I tried it today mimo2008 in airplane mode and WiFi on and it worked okay for me. Are you running a vodafone firmware or a standard uk one?
Had the same issue in that quite a few times the person at the other end could not hear me. Also the WiFi calling symbol would remain even after I was out of range of WiFi!
Used to work fairly well on my old S7. Given up using it for now and turned the Sure Signal back on.
I'm not using a Vodafone firmware BTW.
It's strange because it only works in airplane mode not in normal. I'm running vodafone software unfortunately.
Thx for letting me know.
Are you guys connected to 5ghz WiFi when you are having problems? I had the chance to try WiFi calling at work today where I don't get signal. It worked really well and disconnected as it should as soon as I walked outside and had a couple of bars mobile signal. I tried this a few times. The only difference to at home is that we only have 2.4ghz WiFi at work.
Came home and forgot the 5ghz network and joined the 2.4ghz one. Magically it just works now. As soon as I'm down to one bar it comes on. Then goes off when I'm stood by the window and have 2+ bars.
Edit: Seems that didn't fix it after all. I'm sat here with 2-3 bars and WiFi calling remains on. Oh well hopefully in a future firmware update it might get fixed.
Just to update I'm now having the problem of the other person not being able to hear me. I've had to disable WiFi calling now as it's too buggy. I've left a message on the Vodafone forum where others are having the same problem. Apparently they are looking in to it.
Yeah I've been told it's not compatible with nougat which i think is a load off bull.
If it was the case then it would effect other carrier's

Have they said if they are working on a fix mimo?
Hi @rob77
This is the email I got from vodafone.
Hello,
We?ve just investigated the fault you are experiencing with wifi calling. Your phone is currently running the latest version of Android (Nougat) which regrettably is currently incompatible with wifi calling, as soon as an update is released to Android wifi calling will resume normal service on your phone.
Regards,
No time scale I'm afraid.
Thanks mimo2008
Oh well I guess I'd better invest in a sure signal for work then.
Your welcome Rob hopefully they will get it fixed soon.
Bought a sure signal yesterday and have set it up at work. I've got to say it performs really well
@ Rob77 - Funny, cos it worked perfectly fine on my S7 running Nougat?
@Richy101 I've read quite a bit on the Vodafone forums and it does seem mainly s8 owners complaining of this problem. I've submitted a ticket and would like to see it fixed but the sure signal is actually better for me at this moment in time. I only need WiFi calling at work and the sure signal supports texts as well. At home I get usually get 2 bars 4g and falls back 3g if the signal gets too low.

Just received a large "bug fix" software update which seems to include updated carrier software (VOD_0058 to VOD_0061) - does anyone know whether this WiFi calling bug was fixed?
Still broken for me with the latest update; no sound transmitted from my phone to the remote side

How frustrating - I've not had that problem yet since the update
EDIT: I notice Vodafone appear to have updated their site to say S8 is officially supported so they think any issues are now fixed
Hi,
I just received the Oreo update for my S8 and everything seemed fine from the start. It didnt take long though when
I noticed that the WiFi was acting weird. Even though I had great connection to my modem, my WiFi performance
was extremely poor. The two arrows beside the WiFi logo in the status bar only showed upload and no download when I
tried to open a website. I tried forgeting the network but it only seemed to work momentarily. So I rebooted my modem and
hoped that it would solve the problem. Rebooting the modem only worked momentarily too. I will be checking later if this issue
continues with other WiFi networks.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Same problem with My S8 after Oreo. Occasionally the !-mark next to wifi-symbol and the connecton is lost. By restarting the wifi-router or renewing the wifi connection from the phone fixes this for some time, until it happens again.
This fixed it for me
Mine was doing the same but noticed I could stay connected to a older router I use as an extender so changed my wifi security on my main router from wpa2-aes to the older wpa and it's been fine ever since stays connected on 2.4 and 5 now
Is there a fix for this yet? I just downloaded the newest update they rolled out today, 4/3/2018 and I still cannot send email if I am connected to my wifi. It tells me "couldn't send" and it sits there until I turn off my wifi and use my data. This is ridiculous. My wifi connection is fine. I should not have to turn off wifi every time I want to send an email. So frustrated. Why roll out another update so quickly if not to fix the issues the March update caused????
I am also a an S8 user and noticed my wifi dropping connections throughout the day and reconnecting. This has occurred ever since Oreo update. I have tried all the possible fixes and none of them seem to work. I have sent my phone to Samsung for a repair and they have useless approved centres that lie about fixing the phone. I have sent it back. Lets see what happens. Worst case scenario I will have to install Nougat as it was working fine on this version.
Same here ! =(
Same problem
Sporadic exclamation mark on the WiFi icon
and poor performance .
Opened another thread on too many open ports.
Used sockstat and too many ports are listening.
Me too
(ROM France : XEF)
Did you guys notice this after the Oreo update or on Nougat as well?
I’m having this problem since the Oreo update too. I have to turn the WiFi off and on several times a day to fix it. When attempting to use WiFi, no pages etc will load and then eventually a ! Symbol appears next to the WiFi icon. Only fix is to turn WiFi on and off. It’s very annoying!
Exact same issue. Started occurring right after oreo update
Have you guys complained to Samsung about this? as making noise to them will rectify your faults eventually.
Same here, WiFi unreliable since Oreo. I need to restart the network to make a WiFi call and that isn't always a reliable fix. I started a chat with T-Mob on FB and gave up. They're clueless. Samsung S8+
Hello same issu, I'm from France an online the forum in France an Germany many people have this problem.
I read somewhere to delete the wireless connection from your device and then re-add. I'm not ready to say it fixed things but the WiFi does seem more stable.
UPDATE - Sorry to say there are still issues. Oh well, it gave me hope for a brief moment!
Go to settings- General management- Reset- Reset network settings- Then confirm and restart the phone. After re add your wifi networks. That fixed it for me
Update: It turned out that it didn't work for me... it looks like i may have to try and factory reset as it feels like i have tried everything else :crying:

T-Mobile just had be clear the cache from the "boot level" menus. Let me see if that fixes anything before trying yet something further. THANKS!
PS - clearing the cache did fix the problem I was having with the TX Lottery app. After the OREO update it would no longer scan the ticket barcodes. It's working again!

Thanks. Let me test a few days.
For me don't work ?
Same for me!!
I have my P8 Lite (2015) updated with original B634, only with bootloade unlocked.
The mobile phone is guaranteed by Huawei until 10/22/2019 (marketing bid in October 2017).
However, in recent days, I'm having difficulties in the speed of wifi (does not exceed 10k / s) when I have the bluetooth activated (for example when I arrive at my house and came with mobile phone connected to the bluetooth of the car).
If I turn off the bluetooth the speed of the wifi normalizes immediately!
Is it a software problem and a reset resolves or will it be a hardware problem to be solved under warranty?
Thank you for your opinion.
Has anyone had this problem?
I have the same problem in 2 phones... I think is hardware problem and is not fixable!
Hello Marcosoft, I have the same problem with wifi when BT is turned on. I've two Huawei P8 Lite ALE21 (2016) and they both have the exact same problem.
I first noticed this issue in December 2017. I’ve tried all kinds of resets but none of them solves this problem.
I’ve send one phone to the service centre for repair , it came back with a new mother board but still the same issue. Send it for the second time to the repair centre , again a board swap , still the same problem. Send it for the third time , today I got it back without a repair , they can’t find any issue , but the issue is still there.
So , at this point I can’t tell you if this is a hardware or a software problem. The only thing I know is that I don’t find a solution for it.

Amazing!!!
I taught that this was a hardware problem, because I had already tested the latest versions of the stock rom (6.0) and all had this problem of wifi speed with bluetooth on (<10k/s or B/s)!
I decided to go back to lollipop!
- ALE-L21_C900B500_Firmware_general_Android5.0_EMUI 3.1_Portuguese
After...
- Huawei_P8 Lite_Dual_Firmware_ALE-L21_Android 5.0_EMUI 3.1_C432B204_West European_Channel-Others
And to my amazement the wifi works at 100% with the bluetooth turned on!!!
Not a hardware problem!
I am 24 hours and without any problem and I have already done several tests!
Tomorrow, I will do the update that is recommend (ALE-L21C432B574 - Android 6.0) and then report here if the problem returns!

I'm really curious about the tests that you will run.
I'm using a costum ROM using android 7.1.2 and I also have the problem .... It is really bad to rollback to android 5 to fix this problem.
Is Huawei aware of this problem on the 6.0 versions?
Deleted.
NEW SOLUTION!
I found the reason for the Wi-Fi problem too slow (or stopping) when Bluetooth is turned on!
The problem is "Your location" from Google Play Services!!!
Until version 11.6.73 (14-09-2017) there is no problem, but from that version, more precisely 11.7.41 (05-10-2017), until today (12.8.74), and in the next versions (13.2 .77 beta), the problem persists.
Will Google solve the problem?
I do not know.
But to solve the problem I found this solution:
Disable GPS-Then go to Settings-Apps-Google Play services-Permissions-Your Location-Location Settings-Disable Access to my location.
From there, you may already have Bluetooth enabled and Wi-Fi will work properly.
However, if you also activate GPS (wf + bt + gps), the Wi-Fi will be very slow again, until you deactivate the GPS again.
It seems that some equipment does not have this problem! If so, good for them, but for those who have this problem, the real reason is already found, and until they solve it (if they solve), we have this solution.
I'm grateful that you also report this error to Google, to see if they fix it.
It does improve the performance just a little, I have a Huaweii Y6 II and when I'm watching a video on youtube, the video is still buffering, but before that solution you just give me, it wouldn't load at all.
