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!

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:
http://talk.sonyericsson.com/message/97975#97975
"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.
I received my Nexus6P couple of days ago and let it install the latest Marshmallow update that was available through OTA at that time (MTC20L). Now since the OTAs are officially available for the Nexus6p (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/ota) I sideloaded the Nougat NRD90U build. Since then connection to WIfi is practically not possible. Also survey just sometimes doesnt even show the wifi spots. It SOMETIMES automatically connects.
I tryed:
* tested at several locations with several Routers (2.4Ghz +5 Ghz) all of which worked without a problem on Marshmallow and my old Nexus5
* factory reset
* deleting all saved wlans
* manually forgetting the network
* pretty much tryed every naive debbuing found on sites like this: http://forums.androidcentral.com/am...roubleshooting-wi-fi-connection-problems.html
* same bug with the previous nougat build (that wasnt official, I think NRD90R or NRD90S cant remember)
The strange thing is that I cant really find reports for nougat and Wifi problems on the net. So the question, does anybody else has these issues and by chance a fix?
Something went wrong when you have make the sideload
I made an update from dp5 and have no issues like this.
What don't you try to flash everything one by one to see what happen? Radio, system etc.

You must have very poor searching skills. A simple search for 'nougat wifi problem' (without ' ' ) will get you several results.
However, no real solution so far, but Google is aware and a case issue (221056) has been opened on code.google.com/p/android/issues. Unfortunately, it's been more than 2 weeks and Google hasn't come up with a a solution.
I'm experiencing the same problem with my Nexus 5X after an OTA update to Nougat. Resetting network settings seems to solve the problem, that is, until I manually start adding/saving wireless networks. When I hit 12, I loose all visible networks and WiFi keeps scanning (and draining battery) for networks if I turn WiFi off and on. If I let is scan for an hour or so, a connection is established, but when I turn WiFi off and on again the problem starts over.
Some people think it has something to do with 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks, because they can't access 5GHz. Google has advised resetting to factory settings, but that doesn't seem to solve the problem for everyone.
I am having WiFi issue
Like it gets discounted and auto connects again it's annoying anyone facing and issue
Had give to service centre also but not got fixed
How to get fix this
Did you reset and try? Also have a look at this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/samsung-s8-s8-wi-fi-nougat-fix-aka-s7-t3587801
Ya did but not fixed
Didn't face this situation on my set!
Also read about Google who says there's some problems with BT5 and WiFi. Maybe drivers. Conductors are fine
Wait for an update this month.

Just as the title states, I'm having major issues with wifi. It's the phone, it's not the network or router because it works well with all of my other devices. I've tried resetting the router anyway, I've removed the network information in the phone and reentered it. The only thing I think that might have affected it without me knowing at the time was when I left the phone in my car and it overheated. I actually did that twice. If that is what caused the issue then I think I'm out of luck and it's likely not repairable. My first thought was the wifi antenna or something but because it does still connect I don't think that's it. Anyone else have this happen?
How you check your WiFi preferences?
By default WiFi disconnects after certain time...
Make sure is set to "NEVER"
Does it say "Connected, no Internet" and then disconnects and tries to connect again?
Is it switching to 4G because better signal? Turn off aggressive wifi handover in developer options if set. Check other settings too.
Turn off mobile data and see if behaviour is different as a quick test.

I can not find this setting, what menu is it under? I checked in Wi-Fi settings and Wi-Fi>Advanced. I've had the phone for some time now, this happened all of a sudden.

In the notification bar it would still show Wi-Fi signal status (on, with full bars) but it would go from displaying "network name" to simply displaying "Wi-Fi". If I long press it takes me to Wi-Fi setting and I can reconnect manually. If I turn wifi off and back on then it DOES NOT auto connect back to the network, despite the fact that the network is saved.

It happens when I have full Wi-Fi signal. Auto switching is apparently turned off, as mentioned above. When I turn off mobile data, it still disconnects from the network, leaving me with no data connection at all. Developer options were off, but I turned it on and checked but that option is off.

What Android are you using?
You could update to 7 / 8.0.0 US Beta or use a custom like me. Im currently on Android 9 Treble Pixel Experience and its working nice.

I'm running 7.1.1, B35. It would be nice if it was just a software issue, although I hate having to back everything up and wipe it. I haven't been keeping up with development, how reliable are A2017U flashes now? I think I remember them being risky with this phone when I first got it. Is any functionality lost? I would prefer to wait for the OTA 8.0 update since it seems to be coming but maybe...
I'm having this problem but mine says that the wifi manager has disabled wifi permanently. I can start it manually and it will connect to the internet for a few minutes then revert back to disabled. This happened after the 7.1.1 update.

ZTE Germany just released a message on their Facebook saying they're in their last stages of testing the Android 8.0 Oreo beta and will release it officially soon. This can be as long as one to three months away, or even longer.
If you're running stock, then flashing a custom rom will provide you with more functionality and performance. Battery life will definitely be shorter though, so say if you're getting 6-7 hours of Screen-on-Time on stock 7.1, you'll get around 4-5 on a custom rom. This entirely depends on your usage however. Flashing custom roms is quite easy and risk-free if you know what you're doing, and follow a good guide. Check Oki's guide on how to flash an 8.1 treble rom if you'd like. The current LineageOS 15 and 16 builds drain quite a lot of battery compared to other roms. If you'd like a good and stable Android 8.1 Rom, I'd recommend NFound's AEX 5.8. If you're like some of us (me included), you can live life on the cutting-edge and flash a Android 9 Pie rom. I wouldn't recommend it though as unless you know what you're doing with a GSI, DON'T flash one.
Always backup before attempting anything.
Same issue

A few weeks ago my Axon 7 started doing the exact same thing that you describe. Were you able to find a solution?
Same for me, I'm having the exact same issue.
Did any one of you find the solution for it? :/
