I've not yet received my OP5. I'm in China.
A lot of people here is having really severe wifi disconnection problems. No more wifi data but wifi is still connected, have to reconnet wifi to have data.
I cannot post link yet. But there are all kinds of report on the Chinese official OP forum.
I'm just wondering if any of you guys are having the same problems?
I'll test the phone once I receive it.
Yes another issue, it's done it twice on me in the last 1w hrs, the wifi icon completely disappeared as if it switched off, I'm noticing some worrying issues out the box.
That should have said last 12hrs.
For me the problem is different. WiFi continues on, it's like it's properly connected, however I can't access anything on the web. I have to disconnect WiFi, use mobile data, and connect WiFi again. Then it works for 2 minutes, and stops accessing any websites again...
So, the wifi only works for about two minutes. I quit and now I'm only using mobile data...
It happens with all access points and wifis I've tried.
Same problem here. WiFi connection is always on, but after 5 minutes after connecting there is no more data send.

Okay I'm glad I'm not just imagining it. I'm having the exact same problem. I thought it was my home network at first but good to know it's the phone. I wonder how long it's going to take for a fix?
Try turning off smart network switch in wifi settings, I had the issue, but when I turned that off I had no issues.
Thanks. Will try. I hope that solves it.

Hi, I've had major problems within my 5 Ghz Wifi: The transfer rate was suuuper slow (0.15 kb/s and less) and after a while down to nothing.
But with switching to 2.4 Ghz everything works fine. So just go to wifi settings -> advanced and select 2.4 ghz only. That solves my problems for now. Hope a future update solves the 5 ghz issues.
I've had no problems with wifi on my OnePlus 5.

Having the same problem, disabled the "Smart WiFi-switch" in the advanced settings and hope it is fixed for now.
OnePlus haven't dispatched an update yet to fix this and other bugs...
Sad...
smart network is off but not work here.
i have the same problem with wifi. now i turned off smart wifi switch and i will try.
but i have the same problem with 4g. There is field, but i can't do anything, i can't surf on internet, like i haven't connections. Switch off data and turned on it and it work.
strange. very strange
same issue here. I've removed all files with 'cne' via recursive search in /system and commented out the entry in build.prop. seems to be a little better but still need some time to confirm

Sorry I know this problem probably has been brought up many times. But here I just want to make a total one and collect all the feedbacks from N1 users regarding to the wifi sleep issue with N1.
Let's just make it simple: Every N1 owner PLEASE DO test out the wifi connection when your phone goes to sleep as there are MANY people suffering from this problem all over the world. Especially the later buyers since February this year, almost every phone is potential to this problem.
######################################################
Diagnosis:
1. Set the wifi sleep setting to "never" in the wifi advanced setting menu.
2. Turn on Last.fm app(or Pandora, but Last.fm is most effective and responsive one to test it out), leave the phone on wifi and turn off the phone screen or let it goes to sleep.
3. The symptom is the app will stop streaming shortly afterwards(with Pandora stops maybe after one song, for which I suggest everyone test it for at least 15 minutes). Also most likely you will stop getting any email notification or anything requires data connection. And you might not be able to ping your phone or the ping responses VERY slow as well.
######################################################
######################################################
Background:
This problem was recorded from earliest almost 6,7 months ago and has affected both AT&T and T-Mobile versions(with reports of the same issue on other versions sold outside US). So far, it's suspected that the problem mostly likely lies in the lower level architecture of the phone(either software or hardware) because the problem still exists even after people has replaced the stock ROM with the custom ROM. Another proof is that people get problem with brand new phone and also the replacement phone. Another note is the problem has been found both before FROYO update and after. At this moment, there's no official fix(some Google employee blatantly brushed the issue away and asked N1 users to get over it, check out the link below for original conversation) for this issue except a work around thanks to wifi fixer app developer.
######################################################
This issue is often times neglected by N1 users because usually people don't use the phone on wifi all the time or they simply switch between 3g and wifi. But for people who use wifi a lot or use VOIP, it could be a real deal breaker.
So here I just hope everybody could test your phone out and see if you have this issue or not. Please report how your result turns out in this thread. Also, for further and more detailed discussion and cases, please check this out:
http://www.google.com/support/forum...52&hl=en&fid=01a47ff5b0a92d5200048be07b6cb5c1
You are more than welcome to add your experience to the discussion above so hopefully it can wake google up.
####################################################
UPDATE:
So Broadcom just released a wifi driver fix several days ago which may solve this issue. According to the record, phones with non-zero MAC address suffer from problem.
The driver has been incorporated into the latest Cyanogenmod(either RC or nightly build). People are reporting it fixes the problem while in some other cases, the problem still exists even after the fix, even for people who's MAC address starts with 00.
Last.fm works fine with the screen off here, always has done. I even turned off mobile data to be sure it's not switching over to that.
This is with the wifi set to sleep with the screen off (ie. the default setting).
i've been using wifi fixer and since i installed it, i haven't had a single wifi disconnect on my home network(it seems to be a network dependent issue as i never have issues on other networks)

yeah, the point here is that many phones have the wifi sleep policy issue(doesn't work).
Indeed, however mine does, so this thread will need both sides of the argument
No problems on my Nexus One, running latest CM 6 nightly build.
I bought it couple months ago from eBay, so I'm not sure which shipment it is from.
Only issue I'm having after upgrading to Froyo is that my phone won't connect to my home network by itself when in range.
I have to go into Wifi Buddy and manually connect. This never happened on 2.1, but magically started after the FRF50 update, and never fixed itself in the next couple of builds.

I have always had this same issue! Maybe its something to do with my home wifi? I am yet to test it on froyo.
I am mostly connected to wifi with no sleep issue.
I have kind of the same issue at home, I recently replaced my wireless router, I never had problems connecting to the old one it would just stop broadcasting constantly but my N1 would always connect automatically. With the new router my N1 keeps saying the connection is disabled and I have to connect manually. This never happens at work, it always connect automatically so it seems to have something to do with the router settings but I have no idea what.
No problems here. Last.FM works fine for me on WiFi when screen is off. I also get notifications. Running FroYo rooted with locked bootloader

i am having the same problem, when i go out of range from my wireless and then back in range, the n1 just says scanning and never re-connects.
that said, using a channel lower than 11 on my router did seem to help with the sleep issue.

sorta, i never had the issue on any network besides my home one
I've also been having the disconnect problem with my N1. Maybe it would help if people whose sleep policy is actually working could post what wifi router/AP/whatever they are using. Also, if possible the first for identifiers of their MAC address. I read on one of the Google posts someone with a MAC address starting with 38:E7 having problems. The MAC for my phone is the same. For what it's worth I'm using a D-Link DIR-655 router and a Speedtouch 716 v5 WL and am experiencing the disconnect on both.
I've had the issue with 2 N1 tested on 3 different routers. I've read that it is related to the low power mode the N1 uses while sleeping not playing nice with routers. Not all N1 show the problem, apparently only the most recent ones. I've called google support and was told google knows about the issue and is working on it, but I am a bit cynical and I'll believe it when I see a fix.
Wifi-fixer fixed my problem only after I disabled Sipdroid which was interfering with it.
Mac adress: 38:E7: D8
I'll post my router model later when I get home.

It's weird because most of the time I don't have this problem. My WiFi stays connected all night long to WiFi. But once in a while it does disconnect and switch to 3g. I think its certain routers, because I didn't have this problem for first 3 months on my old router, now it happens with my new router.
My phone never has trouble reconnecting back to WiFi. Everyday when I come home from work, as I walk up my driveway the phone has already automatically connected to WiFi. I've made sure about this one since I read this problem all over.
I bought my Nexus One directly from Google when it came out for AT&T. It certainly has the wifi issue and it is very annoying. My expectation is that the phone jump on my wifi network when in range as all of my other phones have done. Instead I have to manually engage the phone to get on wifi. SUCKS!
this is the biggest problem for me with my n1.
although the wifi does stay awake, it slows right down..
if i ping my phone, the response time increases when the phone is asleep, but doesnt time out.
if i ftp a file from my laptop to my phone, the speed drops from 1mb/sec to 100kbps/sec when the phone is asleep.
i have found the app "fix my wifi" solves the problem of waking the phone after a few hours of sleep and finding the wifi has failed. if only there was a way of getting the speed to stay the same.
Hi,
When i open my phone from sleep it shows me that I'm still connected to my wireless but i cannot access the internet. When i turn off and on the wifi it works fine again but as you can understand this is very annoying. I disabled the wifi sleep option but now my battery gets empty way too fast. Has anyone seen a fix for this?
Thanks
I have a simular issue. Does not happen all the time but frustrating when it does. The same fix of turrning Wi-fi off and back on works for me as well.

Turn off 3g/data then disable wifi sleep, 3g/data uses &*^% loads more battery than wifi
If i leave wifi on all night and turn off 3g/data after 10 hours of sleep i still have 96% battery left

Yeah, I don't see it as a solution either - rather ridiculous you have to do that. Not sure they're fixing anything with their 2.2 lol, maybe creating more issues
did we find a fix?? this is driving me crazy...
Same here just noticed it, for awhile I was thinking it was me forgetting to turn wifi back on, but nope its just jumping back to 3g off wireless.
With all my widgets running I don't want to kill all my data on my plan...I'm always around wifi, so this is killing me..
Wifi going off when the device sleeps send to be an android issue. I had this same problem with my nexus one. Never could get it to stay on all the time agen the device slept.

I have the same problem. Toggling the wifi widget fixes it, but yeah, kinda annoying.
I not sure if this is the same problem but see what happens to mine if I turn My device off or use Airplane Mode when turn on I have no HSPA(3G) or Wi-Fi I can call but no data and I need to do a factory reset to and erase everything make the data works again
The only time mine quits is when I go from wi-fi router to wi-fi router.
Hotspots are ok, but both my home & work routers, both Netgear 614 types
have me reboot the routers if I go out of range, or turn the streak wi-fi
off/on several times. Goofy...tried deleting the profiles and everything else.
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.co-uk-syslynx-fixmywifi-ADjA.aspx
try this.. worked for me
also setting router wifi to wep encryption / wpa seems to help
for netgear router set the channel to 3 and use wpa2 aes only and 300mbit max
Does anyone having wifi connection problem? Normally every time when the phone screen goes back on, I will see the toast about changing network to mobile data, then goes back to wifi straight away. Also sometimes it happens even when I'm using the phone too... I'm using statics IP and Smart connect is off, then now I'm not too sure what's going on...
It's not a very big deal, but sometimes it's quite annoying, does anyone know the solutions? Or share your story
I have seen that same message several times I have smart network on. Even though I've seen this message before I have never experienced interruption on wifi
Haven't seen this yet tho I always turn network notification and always allow scanning to off in advanced Wi-Fi.
I am having a WiFi problem also but mine is different. I am having a problem connecting and staying connected to WiFi on the Note 4. If I turn WiFi on, it will not come on unless I restart the phone. Then after I get it to come on, it will stop working if I stop using the phone. Anyone else having this problem? Any solutions? And no it is not my home WiFi that is the problem. It happens on any WiFi network I try to connect to.

I had this problem on my brand new HTC One, I called Verizon, and said it's a manufacturer's issue. I've never had the issue like that, before that phone. Call Verizon and have them ship you a new one. Since it's under the manufacturer's warranty you shouldn't have to pay a dime!
So, does anyone reckon the router I'm using would be an issue?

Easy to troubleshoot, try connecting to another router or connect using another phone.
My N910U does not have this problem, but my HTC ONE E8 does, it kills my VPN which drives me crazy.
The problem is very noticeable to me because in China, dropped VPN means no youtube/google/twitter, which I cant live without.
I figured that it has something to do with rooting, because the E8 was not dropping wifi before root.
I am not rooting my note 4 because of this, until proven otherwise
Please, post the variant name of the Note 4 with the issue, i.e. SM-N910*. Angelky have a SM-N910U. Katz916, which model have you?
Ask because I had a wifi issue with galaxy S4, never solved even from Samsung assistance.
i got the same problem sometimes..my wifi sometimes disconnect and then reconnect again..same model with u too..SM-N910U

Ya, i think rooted phone may be one of the issues, and probably router as well. I never try other routers, but in my case it always connects to mobile data when i wake up the phone, then straight goes back to wifi. And randomly connect to data then back to wifi again.... As i said its not very big deal, but sometimes its quite annoying...

Hi,
just had the phone for an hour and almost right away after first setup the wifi radio disconnects/turns off and re-connects/turns on automatically every 20 seconds or so. No matter wich network I try.
Working fine with my S7 Edge laying here beside me, never had problems. I have three different networks around me I can try out.
Anyone had the same problem? I can find som info about this exact issue for the S7 Edge for some, but no solution from that works on the S8..
N
this is an old problem S7 had
you need to toogle in settings > connectivity > wifi > advance > smart network swithc OFF
i think this was - but dont remember well since it was a while ago - but basically you need to turn off the option of phone switching between phone and wifi data
Having the exact same problem with my Ubiquity wifi network (ie, not some janky cable company router) with my just-booted up S8. Smart switch was off by default, and after switching it 'on' and back 'off', no change.
This was the first thread I found on the topic, will update with any solutions.

No this has nothing to do with the routers or access points. I am 3 meters from the AP, its at 100% signal rate etcetera..
This has to do with Samsung and the software.

As I wrote I have three different wifi to test with but yes makes no difference. This is a well known but not solved problem with Samsung phones.. three different makes of manufacturers, different settings with a/b/g/n and all show the same problems.
I also installed the small new update today for the firmware. Still same problem.
I'm guessing I'm about to get a replacement phone. I'll try that on Monday.
I'm not seeing the same problems with public wifi as I am with my Ubiquity Unify AC AP Pro access points at home - definitely weird.
When it is connected, I'm getting my usual 100mbps speeds, but it continues to drop regularly (not the every 10secs it did when I first powered it on, but every minute or so).
One thing that was mentioned was changing channel bandwidth from '40' to '20'... I don't see anywhere to do that on the S8?

Doesn't that mean on your router?
By changing the broadcast bandwidth from 40 to 20 you will increase the signal produced (same power is covering less channels)

Strangely, I did not have the issue on my home network which has a single UAP-AC-LR access point with an otherwise similar configuration. Not sure if this setting change was really a fix, or if I just temporarily got lucky.
If turning off Nearby Device Scanning doesn't work for anyone, it might be worth playing with other settings within your network such as Band Steering. Some of these require turning on advanced features within the UniFi controller. Also I would be curious to hear whether those who have issues are on networks with a single access point, or larger installs with multiple access points.
Very recently got the Samsung S8 and I'm having some wierd WiFi issues. When connecting to the network everything is fine i get almost maximum download/upload speeds(500/500) from my UniFi AP-AC-PRO. But after being connected for awhile 30-60mins the speed drops to around 30mbit downstream and upload around 200mbit. If i disconnect from the Wi-Fi and instantly reconnect i get full speed again. I've tried switching settings in the ap, went from everything on auto settings to static channel/transmit power and been trying vht40/80 but makes no difference. If i have smart network switching on i get disconnected and put on LTE instead. All my other devices have blazing WiFi speeds as usual. I'm gonna try turning of nearby device scanning and see if that helps.
I started a thread in the ubiquiti UniFi forum as well but i cant link that here(not enough posts on this xda account)

I'm having the exact same problem as you. Wifi connects at full speed at first, then after a while speed drops. Has gone down to 1Mbps numerous times. Disconnecting then reconnecting fixes it for a while then it starts all over again. I'm connected to a TP-Link AC1900 running dd-wrt. May try going back to stock firmware on the router to see if that helps.
So has anyone come up with a permanent solution to this? I'm in the same boat with my ac-ap-pro and s8+. Disconnects every 20 seconds or so.
I am facing an issue that my WiFi doens't scan nearby networks.
In my WiFi. It disconnects automatically and then on reconnecting it shows no internet access.
Many times it's not able to connect to a network just saved comes and then WiFi shows to be disabled

It's WiFi bug comes with pie update, contact service centre nearby & ask them to downgrade to Oreo..... they will do it.
I'm really getting disappointed with Nokia day by day. I expected so much. Now I'm seeing stupid issues, like the primary mic not working, and people having wifi bugs. I mean I spent my hard earned money buying this phone, for it to f**k me over in this fashion. They release updates, but they don't do anything about fixing bugs.

Same with me. Never experienced wifi issues.
I'm also facing the same issue now from last 2 days. Any other fix available for this? Other than factory reset or downgrade. Also the restart option doesn't seem to work for me everytime.
Works with other hotspots

I tried using hotspots from my friends and it seems to be working for some reason. No delay in connecting, doesn't get disconnected automatically, doesn't shows no internet. All working fine. Now the question is why with my router at home? Has anyone here tried resetting their routers? Also, are there any compatibility issues going on, if yes then maybe our phone no longer supports old gen routers.
