[Q] wifi problem solved?

hello there,
this phone is just released in my country. i would like to buy it but i found this video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptg6cLdA9OU
is this problem common? is there any software to fix?

this video is too old (the rom is B133), i used both B135 and B136 now, with no Wifi probs at all

that's great. thank you.

I agree. I am also on B136 and no issues at all with wi-fi. Good Luck. I think it is a great phone especially for the price.

B136 is the pre installed ROM?
Or in other words: people that buy the Ideos X5 today will not have any wifi connection problems?

Obviously I can only speak from my experience with my own phone, but it came (3 months ago) preinstalled with B133 and did an update over wifi in the phone's update options and had no problems before or after the update. The update was about 3 weeks ago for me and I have been using the wifi almost every night since I go the phone. I am very happy with it

Can warmly recommend this phone, its great !
The price is nice, the quality is fine and the phone is getting a larger community !
If you find trouble with old firmware always update to the newer ones !
Grab them at Huawei and upgrade your firmware, they have a guide included on each firmware download pack you download.

Agree without doubt. I never experienced wifi connection problem. But only some education institute use PEAP encryption may post a problem with most Android, though not the phone itself .

unfortunately its the phone thats causing wifi dropouts in my case..
i can connect to my wifi router with my iPhone 3GS, my notebook, my netbook, my NDS, etc.. in fact X5 is the first and only device that has connection problem with my wifi router..
though i like this phone very much, i can honestly say that wifi problem does exist, at least in certain instances including mine..

So it has been established that this phone sometimes has wifi issues. The question is; can they be solved? and how? anyone got any experience in that area?

I'm on B136 and WiFi is still broken. B136 seems to have made Wifi connections a little bit more reliable, but it still drops out pretty regularly, usually when I try to update more than one app at a time from the Market. In the middle of the downloads it stops because the WiFi has become disabled and has to be restarted again.
It's less of a problem when there's only one update to download, but if there's two or more it happens quite frequently. It also still sometimes happens (though perhaps less frequently than before B136 was released) while it's not downloading anything, just sleeping (I have it set to not disconnect when asleep) or awake and connected to my WiFi network.
The unreliable WiFi connections are one of the two worst problems with this phone (the other one is the wildly variable battery life).

Nobody has a definate solution to this problem?
Is it part of your insurance btw? it is clearly malfunctioning and perhaps should be fixed by the company you bought it from...

i am using genokolar's b137 and wifi is fine ( i had problems before with stock 135).

Where are you download this custom rom? I only find one V8 in chinese forum. Is this, you'r talking about? Is this multilangual?

yep this is it!
every android version is multilingual!
thats his latest version:
http://bbs.goapk.com/thread-3177723-1-1.html
also use the google apps (GMS) from here:
http://bbs.goapk.com/thread-2875088-1-1.html
be sure to have this installed before doing anything:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130524
if you find it hard to download them from there i have uploaded them here:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IMZBGHIA (use the gapps that are inside this rar)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3DOP0APD (use this rom)
i have removed some apps he put in there (like nofrills[something like set cpu], a chinese market etc) to make it a total stock rom. just be sure the 1st app you install is Superuser.

I did some tuning to my wifi configuration file and that's all I did to solve connection problems. Just take a look through my thread in the general section with subject title "Wifi Client Tuning ... Solve Connection Problem "

Attention WIFI Disconnect problems!!! ARC / NEO / PLAY

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

[Q] Note4 loosing data connection

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..

Any news on topic? I'm facing with internet on mobile connection, even if bars are full and LTE sign is visible.

Big Wifi problem

Yesterday came the phone at home, did all updates to the last (LRX21M.5.0.0-RU1.1.134 YD201 ). The WIFI does not work if I walk away more than two meters from the router (the rest of my phones, printers, laptops work more than ten meters away, at different heights). Is there any solution? I can not work in the room, in the kitchen, bathrooms ...
Greetings.

If you're using canal 1 or 13, change it, some wifi card are bad with theses.

Check if you are connected using 2.4GHz or 5GHz.
5GHz has much worse range and does not go through walls really well... Usually, the range of a 2.4GHz connection is much better.

Thanks.
Unfortunately, I change both option and the problem is the same. The rest of my mobile, pc... work perfect, only yotaphone 2 has that problem... Any suggestions?

I try many xda tutorials and the WiFi is ok on 4.4 but it dissapear on 5.0. I try several changes with the radio folder but it is imposible it works in 5.0... Any idea?

Hi Alberto. I have the same problem with the wifi. It doesnt work fine in 5.0. It doesnt work fine with radio folder from CN neither. The yota wifi only works fine in 4.4. In fact, I have check that he bands phone are a little weaks in 4.4.
It is Y201. I buy it in dx.com.
It cames from HK.
Lte works. I am in spain.
It has snapdragon 801 qualcomm MSM8974 PRO-AA. You can see with CPU-Z. May be the problem is the processor.
Can somebody tell me which processor has?
May be Honk kong version has diferent processor.
May be that is the reason why it has not support.
Does anybody know anythink about?
Alberto, what has you done?
Thanks.

I can´t fix it, friend. My version is the y201 and I am from Spain, too. Bad luck...

Maybe I found a workaround. My YD206 seems to have similar problems but I'm not sure.
I have a YD206 (4.4.4) CN re-flashed to RU 1.134 (5.0).
WiFi signal is available and the icon indicates good signal quality. But when streaming videos / downloading udpates I get like 5-20 KB/s (yes kilobytes).
So I played around and found that WiFi and Bluetooth don't like each other.
Turn Off Bluetooth = WiFi works well
Turn off WiFi = Bluetooth works well (less Bluetooth glitch with my car)
Maybe this helps someone.

Thanks, Sekal, but the problem continues.

Same problem here. In 4.4.3 works flawlessly.

@albertovk, if I am not wrong, @sekall12 said recently in other thread that he thought that he had fixed this issue by restoring to factory defaults.

I made several hard resets without results, unfortunatelly.

Some conclusions:
My yd201 only works well with wifi in 4.4
I think that it is not a really yd201.
In China the phones dont have actualizations, so they are cheaper that because it doesn`t run ok with lollipop
Then, my yd is a false yd201, or a yd206, or a false yotaphone.
May be they are an group of items fixed too that somebody are selling.
However I think that it is a China`s phone sold as yd 201. It is false.
I can`t undertand how wifi of others yd206 runs fine in lollipop.
Bad luck.

Try a factory reset. It's the last hope, because you lost all your data, including internal sd card content. So backup everything, including the SD card (for sms/mms/call log i use MyBackupPro). Don't count on Google autosave to restore your apps data, it won't work in case of factory reset.
I have problem with wifi that sometime disconnect, micro-lag, some app force close. Since the factory reset, all problems are gone (wifi is stable, no lag) And since my phone is like a virgin after this reset, I root the phone, so i can make full phone backup.
