To make a long story, short...
I upgraded to the T-Mobile USA official updated ROM for the HD2 when it leaked about a month ago. Everything went smoothly, things were in tip-top shape, and all seemed to be in perfect working order.
Well, for the past week or so...
I haven't been able to REFRESH my weather and location-based information on my handset. Therefore, in Google Maps, the GPS Location feature is also useless. Anyway, I don't have this issue via Wi-Fi, because everything is capable of being refreshed. But with my 3G coverage in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area (which is usually exceptional) I cannot refresh the weather or GPS data.
I've already performed a hard reset to try and remedy the issue, but even still on this completely stock, upgraded ROM... nothing.
If anyone has any bright ideas, please feel free to enlighten me in the comments below. Thanks.

hey, i am in houston. i have that problem sometims, but usually fixes itself in a few hours. i am on an energy rom though.
Any idea if you are close to being at your limit as far as data usage?! I know there is a cap not entirely sure exactly what is the limit but this might be it. There is no reason for it to update over wifi and not on your 3G. This might not be what is happening to you but...you never know. i read certain features pretty much stop working until you cycle into your next month. I am on the upgraded stock t-mobile ROM since it leaked and have not had any issues. I set my weather and GPS to update when I tell it not automatically but when I get to work it says I am at work and when I get home it says im home.

I've only had it work once or twice since the issue began occurring at the beginning of last week... and it was by soft resetting my handset, then immediately calling upon the data by manually refreshing the weather tab.
Otherwise, the issue doesn't just "sort itself out," at least... not in my case.

I doubt it's a "data cap" issue. I have what would be the equivalent of an "Unlimited Everything Plan." And for the record, I've had this phone since 5 days before its public release, and haven't encountered a single issue with it... until recently. But yeah, I'm also using the upgraded ROM from T-Mobile. There have NOT been any other issues since updating to the officially released version. Also, my billing cycle begins, and then ends on the 23rd of the following month. So, considering it's only been a few weeks since that time period... and given the fact that this issue began about one week ago... I highly doubt that's the problem.
Thanks for your input though... I could use any thoughts.
Does anyone have this same problem? I already did factory reset for about 6 times. wipe cache and dalvik but still, the issues are still there. the wifi keeps on dropping and so slow compared to 4.2.2. sometimes it stuck downloading on play store, and takes too long to load on email. The wifi bar is full and blue, so I don't know why this happens. The bluetooth also does not work with my n7000. Whether sending or receiving files. It just shows error. I'm on stock 4.3 with root. Issues are there with or without apps installed. Can anyone help? Thank you! I'm also wondering if other nexus 10 users have this problem since I read some don't. I'm really frustrated with Google, I waited 8 months for Google to fix surfaceflinger and now WiFi and Bluetooth do not work like it used to. I'm never satisfied with this device, I wish I hadn't bought their product. A waste of money and time!
I don't know if this is double post, if so please tell so I can delete.
Im having wifi issues. I will connect at 130mb for like a min and then it drops to 24 and stays there. It will also go from showing full bars and barely load anything and then drop to 1 or 2. I take my wifes nexus 7 and she has no issues with it. I keep doing searches every day to see if more people are having this problem. Im using a asus rtac66n router which im only a couple feet away from
Same exact problem on galaxy nexus with 4.3. Problem from earlier android version is back!
Try changing the channel bandwidth from default 20/40MHz to 20 MHz only.
After trying for a week, it seems like custom rom (vanilla rootbox) fixed both of my issue. Both wifi and bluetooth now work. And my wifi is now fast just like in 4.2.2. However, surfaceflinger seems not fully fix yet. I still experience ram issues like apps keep on restarting until I need to reboot to clear ram. Anyway, it's still worth a try. I would recommend you to try vanillla rootbox maybe it could help you!

Ok, I'll try that. Is the theory here that bluetooth interferes with the wider band?
Strange issue when downloading large apps (e.g. 30 MB or greater) from the play store or big downloads on my home WIFI, my Essential slows to crawl after a percentage has been complete.d Interestingly, if I hotspot it to my other phone which has much slower download speeds it doesn't throttle and I maintain a consistent download speed. Almost seems as though the modem can't handle higher download speed so it automatically throttles to prevent corruption. Anyone experience an issue like this? Happens on the latest version of Oreo and the latest beta of Android P.
I can confirm the same thing. Thought I had broken something haha.
this happened to me yesterday, to where almost the download never moved, this was from restoring all apps from a clean wipe, it worked when i turned off wifi and just used my lte
Not seeing any issues for downloads on Verizon and P Beta2

I sure hope it's a bug and it's fixed in a future update. Even my streaming movies gets affected. The quality goes from HD to SD. Wondering how widespread this issue is. I'd figure if it was, this forum would be blowing up with complaints. Seems to be happening to only a few of us so I'm trying to narrow down the cause. By any chance are any of you using a Netgear router. Wondering if it just doesn't play well with Netgear.

Happy it's working for you. I've done what you did, factory reset several times, upgraded to the beta Android P and still no joy. Such strange issue. On LTE and tethering to another phone it works fine. Only thing I can think of is the phone isn't able to handle the WIFI speeds so it's throttling down to avoid corruption. I can live with the throttling, but it's throttling so excessively it's less that 1x cell speeds.
Yep, same here. I am rooted. Looks like it started with June update.

When I have the time, I'll roll back to the May update. I'm assuming this is possible to do so without bricking since our bootloaders are unlocked.
It's definitely a problem following latest security update. I'm on stock Oreo and had downloaded all my apps in initial setup without a problem. Then security update and play store downloads just crawl. Either Essential or Google needs a fix.
Been having the same issue since the July update. I've tried numerous times now and simply can't get the previous build to flash properly on my phone. Guess it's being stuck with a gimpy phone until this is fixed.

Just picked up an Essential Phone on the April update. No problems with Wifi whatsoever. One of the updates after April nuked the wifi. Definitely an Essential issue because I also have a Pixel 2 XL on a July update which has no problems.

Hi Dakota, I'm experiencing the same problem and I don't have the solution but could you tell me how to upgrade to Android p

New owner of PH1, as well. I was having this exact same issue. Just logged in to report that the just released Android Pie DID solve this issue for me. I tested downloading large files over WiFi from both the Play Store and a podcast app I use. No more slowing to a crawl after 30MB or so.
I also experienced the same wifi download issue. It seemed that the first 15MB was downloaded in no time, and then it started to crawl up little by little. It was not even slowing down gradually but more like hitting a wall.
Updating to Android 9 also solved this problem. In fact, the problem went away before the update was completed.
Can also confirm, I had this issue on the Oreo June update. Just overall radios performance was bad, and 5ghz WiFi networks were specifically extremely poor and throttling was surefire, not on the 2.4ghz network though.
Nonetheless, the Pie update has fixed this issue dramatically for me *knock on wood! However, may be a placebo, I do notice some throttling in the Play Store sometimes, but again, could be a placebo ...
I was forced to sideload the Pie update as it would have been a couple of days on my WiFi to download it...... but having done so it's mostly gone. I still see issues with WiFi once in a while ("lockups" that go away after 10-15 seconds) but its MUCH improved over the June Oreo update.
My Google play downloads over WiFi very quickly hit 15mb then at about 18mb there's a slow down and by 20mb I have a crawl in speed if any movement at all. Often I have to toggle WiFi just to finish downloading an app, unless it's under 20mb. If it's under then no problems are apparent. This problem was the same at my work place wifi.
I have now factory reset, and it's frustrating to download anything over 20mb. Nothing has changed. I don't believe this problem occurred before the final updates to the phone, when I transferred from another Android. I had to factory reset and start new without transferring settings due to a screen timeout glitch preventing me from changing dim settings. This makes me feel like it has something to do with the update to a newer build.
I don't seem to have this issue with browser downloads or speed tests. Does anyone have an idea about the problem?
Same issue. I can flip over to LTE and it works fine and then back to WIFI which works for a few apps and then completely stalls again (estimated an hour to download Amazon Shopping).
Just got the phone yesterday, so not sure what is going on or if this is a new problem. Just trying to set it up for the first time.

Thanks for the suggestion; however, no luck. Downloaded an app or 2 fine and then hits the 17-18G app limit and comes to complete stop.
---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 PM ----------
Just a few more findings...
Switching over to LTE works fine. Plowed through the rest of my Play Store Apps. Switching back to WiFi brought along the same issues again.
Everything else on the phone via WiFi is fine. Netflix, Hulu, everything.
For me, the Google Play Store is the only thing affected.
Thanks.
This isnt an essential problem but a google related issue with the july update
Try turning off wmm on your router and see if that helps. Just remember you did as it may wonk your voip calling when your connection is under load.
Thanks joewoo. Maybe I'll hang on to this phone and keep an eye out for this being fixed.
Codeworks, seems like we have an identical problem. I'll let you know if I find a fix. I'm in talks with tech support currently. Waiting for them to respond to my currently escalated case with them. Let me know what you find.
I'll try the other suggestions.
This is a known issue I've seen others complaining about elsewhere on the web. Common factor for most has been the July security update. I thought I'd try out the Android p beta 2 and it's doing it there as well.
I noticed it takes a long time to start the download. Once it starts it goes normal. It's as if Google is doing some security scanning or WiFi check or reworking the app for your download..... But wasn't doing it on my Moto X Pure with 7.1 yesterday.

I'm seeing this behavior outside of Google Play as well. I can't download any file larger than 25-30 MBs from Google Drive without the download stalling. I guess doing a hard reset won't fix anything so I'm not sure if there's anything to do except wait for the next monthly patch.

Or you could completely ignore the post 3 above you where he references WMM and your router...
If what I read is correct... Google did the stupid in prioritizing Android downloads... So your router things it's basically junk, thanks to WMM... Turn it off...
Or don't... I don't really care
What's with the attitude? I missed that. I'm sooooo sorry. Jeez. S8+ works fine. I guess I don't really care either.
I dont think it is a Google problem. When I download podcasts using wifi in Castbox, I have the same issue.
Just installed Android P on my new Essential Phone and the restore from Google Play already takes hours for 120 Apps...
Download of a single App from the Play Store takes over 20 minutes..

I've tried the WMM, turned it off on my nighthawk router, and it doesn't work.
also this issue also happens on a fresh install of android p
I have lg 5x and ph1. my ph1 has the exact same problem (75k to 18mb fast, then slow, then crawl). 5x has no problem. could be oreo issue?
I do not want to mess with my router since everything else works great. but i might try it. it's not like i'm afraid to but more like a hassle and then i'll have three upset women on my back until it's back up
WMM setting on Asus router has no effect.
Same issue as others reported; anything under ~20MB downloads quickly, past that the download speed is limited to about 100 KB/s.
EDIT: I want to point out that downloading any file, from any server (including e.g. a large document from OneDrive) halts to a crawling speed of just 100 KB/s after about 20MB. I tested my other devices on the same network (a Windows PC and a Moto Z2 Force), and those other devices don't have this issue. There must be something wrong with Essential's last update.

I had the same experience. It wasn't even enabled on my router. Both my Samsung devices (Tab S2 and S8+) work without issue. I rolled back to 8.1 for other reasons and it's still not working correctly so it may be related to the July patch as others have suggested. Having said that though, my S8+ is on the July patch as well so who knows? Maybe just an Essential issue? Hopefully it will be addressed in the next patch.
I am seeing this issue on AOSiP, not running Essential stock. On downloads (AFH, opengapps.org) and Play Store. And I don't think it has to do with the July security patch because the same downloads on my OP3T (AOSiP w/ July security patch) do not show the same issue.
I can reproduce it every time on the PH-1 when trying to download opengapps using Opera browser. The download is wire speed, then slows to ~100KB/s. Interestedly enough, the downloads from opengapps.org don't seem to have the issue using Chrome (9 of 10 times it is full speed for the entire download).
It seems like it is device related, but since I am running a custom ROM I can't exactly call for technical support. I am hoping someone finds out what the core issue is...
Does anyone know if the baseband was updated in the June/July release?
My S10+ becomes super lagging and sometimes freezing after newest fw upgrade (G975FXXU1ASE5) on May 22. Anyone having the same problem?
First thing i'd try if it was mine, if you haven't already, is a factory reset. Between Googles backup and Samsungs backup you can get it pretty much back the way you had it before resetting. I always make sure to do a fresh backup using both Google and Samsung first. Then Factory reset. Full restore using google when system asks which backup you want to use, use the latest one you just made of course, then restart and do the Samsung restore through Samsung cloud on top of Googles. I usually get all apps and Data restored without missing much. Home screens and widgets are restored. It's almost like i didn't do a reset at all. If it's still Laggy, then factory reset again and don't restore it. See how it works then. That way you're not restoring any App or setting that could've been causing your issue. It looks like you've been around here about 10 years so this all may be nothing new to you, but this is how i would do it.
Factory reset doesn't seem to help according to reports about rhis update.
Okay well flash in Odin and use CSC to perform a full wipe on the device... See if you still have the same issue. Consider Frija or Samfirm
People report it's something to do with the WiFi drivers, try switching it off and use mobile data to see if it persists

i dont really want to use the factory reset option because you wont know which app causing the problem.
im trying disabling app by app. so far i guess theres also something wrong with the fingerprint driver. i have a feeling the lagging always starts with fingerprint then it causes the whole system lagging and freezing.
maybe the optimize battery usage feature is way too aggressive? it freezes the fingerprint service while system tries to wake it up then it causes an endless loop and end up with a memory leak?? just blindly guessing so pls correct me if am wrong.

Workaround for this is to switch off WiFi as there is some problems with the WiFi certificates.
Use Mobile data for the internet connection and you will not face any laggyness or issues.

It was like that plenty of time, just for test i forgot my work wifi network and 3 hours passes and still works perfect.
BTW people with problem, do you remember in developer options if there was before this update option to enable hardware acceleration for modem?
Could you for test try disable that option and reboot phone, or enable if it was disabled...just a hunch..
I had troubles with google app not responding at all and whole system became extremely laggy. Disabling bixby all together fixed problem. Now phone feels smooth and responsive even battery life has improved.
I ve read on sammobile that a new update rolls out to fix the bugs. So you better check for OTA. I am still on april

the new fw (AES6) rolls out to my phone today. and looks like they got it fixed. no more lag & freeze so far.
I was hesitant about applying the new update for the May patch because of all the issues everybody with reporting. I've had this update applied for about 4 hours now and so far there's no issues at all. I wonder if it's affecting every device or just a few. Anyone know if the updated fix has rolled out to unlocked Canadian devices?
