I have having issues with the WiFi on my device. I usually max out at 2mbps download but sometimes if I turn it on/off it'll return to normal. My data connection on many other devices is near 100mbps and the issue is specific to the One Plus 8 Pro. Data network works good, anyone else have this issue?

I used 2 apps to compare. SpeedTest.net and Xtremelabs Speedtest. I have a 2Mb connection and it test correct on my laptop both wired and wireless but with those 2 apps, my DHD reports ~223Kbits. I run the test several times (around 20 times) and it always shows similar results. Only one run which I did after returning home showed 2Mb. Never saw the same again.
Anyone noticed the same? maybe it's the way those apps measure or is it my phone?
You tested what ? Your phone connected via WiFi to your home internet, or your phone GSM/EDGE/HSPA connection ?
The home internet can be explained by downloading something else through other computers on your network or by lower wifi speed negitiated between your phone and wifi router.
If you measured your mobile connection, it could be that you simply don't have HSPA inside your house and it drops to EDGE or UMTS -> sub-300kbit speeds.

thanks,
I already know what you mention.
I test wifi connection. It is supposed to check data transfer rate between my local wifi connection and the Internet. I do the same on my laptop at same location and get 2Mbits.
My mobile connection here is unstable=(sometimes GPRS sometimes 3G) so I won't bother to test from here. I am only concerned about wifi results.
Are you getting those correct?
In case of WiFi, there are many factors which can slow it down. But since you are using the WiFi on your laptop too, we can exclude factors like interference from other WiFi networks or any other factors which could make your connection to your router problematic.
This brings it down to the phone itself. Now the questions is - do you use any kind of WiFi security ? If yes, can you turn it off just for test (yes, i'm asking you to have a unsecured WiFi network for a while). This way you can exclude the possibility that it's the encryption which slows you down. If it will speed up, your problem lies in encryption, and that brings up the question if you have USB debugging enabled or not - you should have, as it fixes the 100% CPU usage bug. If your CPU is used up thanks to this bug, then of course all encryption is slower, which means your data transfer is slower.

Strange, you know what? I connected to USB in order to sync and verify USB debugging (it was on anyway) but after sync, I run the test and it shows above 2mbits but one time it showed 1,2Mbits. The same goes with xtremelabs speedtest.
Now, I can't tell if it's due to the usb connection. I restarted my phone earlier anyway and it still measured slow connection at the time that my laptop was measuring high.
I ran the test so many times that I am 99% sure that the only difference this time was the connection to usb for sync.
I can't exaplain this, I don't know if you can
Then, after a while I try again and it goes down again. I sync but still stays down so that's irrelevant.
I perform the same test on my laptop right after this one and from the same location and it's always high.
I don't know how to explain this
Hello all,
I've had my Nexus 10 since Christmas and it's never given me any problems. Within the last 3 or 4 days, however, I noticed my videos weren't loading like normal, so I've been running speedtests and it is completely inconsistent. My phone and computer will consistently pull 20+ Mbps, but the N10 is crazy. Sometimes it's 3Mbps, sometimes it's 10Mbps, sometimes it's 16Mbps. Every time I check, it's different. I've used multiple programs and websites to read the speeds, and they're all reporting the same. I can stand in another room, or right next to the router, same story. The wifi never fully drops, it just slows way down. I don't have a case on it. I've turned on and off the Wi-Fi optimization in settings. I've turned on and off location settings. Nothing helps! Please let me know if you have any ideas. I am hoping I won't have to return the darn thing, it seems crazy.
As per my internet, it's Comcast, Surfboard modem with a Linksys E1000 (Wireless-N, 2.4GHz) using WPA. Restarting that did not help. I am open to the idea of changing some settings on the router however, if that might be a solution. Also, signal strength on the N10 says "Excellent" and link speed says 130Mbps.
Thanks for your help!

I too have this problem so now Im going to attempt to root the device
Glad to hear someone else is having similar problems.
Possible good news: I changed my protection from WPA(mixed) to WPA2, and so far things seem to be much more consistent. This may just be a fluke, but it's looking much better so far.
If you have a router with 2.4GHz band only, try changing it to 2.4GHz under WiFi settings on the Nexus.
I had some disconnection problems due to that and somewhat inconsistent speeds, I've seen it fix a lot of peoples problems, I've yet to have a transfer problem so far with limiting WiFi to the speed of my router.
Other issues some see is using N wide or dual channel (40Mhz). As the N10 only supports 20 Mhz in 2.4GHz it seems to get confused.
Most other devices either support 40GHz or handle switching more gracefully.
In short force router to 20 Mhz/single channel, may report more consistent behaviour.
On 5Ghz it does not matter as the N10 supports 40Mhz/Dual channel.
Odd, I know.
My experience is that sometimes with wifi issues, wiping the cache (if custom recovery is available) would resolve the issues for some time, but it might be due to an beta ROM.
P.S> on 5GHz wifi I am able to hit 122Mb/s
it has WIFI, mine hardly works
After a few hours of testing, I am now consistently getting 20mbps + as I should be. My router is set to 20MHz only, but I think the main issue was the security settings. It just wasn't dealing with WPA(mixed) well.
First time poster here. I've searched all the threads and couldn't find anything on my specific issue.
Had the Nexus 10 for about a week and noticed streaming YouTube and movies was EXTREMELY slow. Slower than my Galaxy Nexus on the same WiFi network (my network speed is about 18-20 Mbps). I finally did a speed test and noticed that my 10 was getting awful results...sometimes 3-6 Mbps while sometimes it'd get up to 10-13. My Galaxy Nexus gets between 14-18 Mbps consistently. For my 10, every speed test fluctuates between 3 to 13 and it's just so inconsistent.
Now, I don't have any connectivity issues. It never drops the signal and I'm always connected, it just goes super slow to the point of YouTube videos not loading.
I'm not a wizz, but I use ATT uverse and use the router they give you. I'm not sure if it's a router issue or a Nexus issue.
I've restarted the nexus, turned off the WiFi optimization and turned the WiFi off and on. I had a ton of issues with my nexus 7 (main reason I switched to 10) and I really don't want to ship the device back to Google. Any suggestions??

For starters when you toggle WiFi optimization you need to reboot for the setting to completely turn on/off.
What ROM / Kernel combo are you using? If that is stock then it is likely the router.
ISP routers are usually cheap, they don't handle multiple device traffic very well. One thing you can do is change the stock/auto settings they come with as they are less than desirable. Lower channels/and or Auto Channel (in both 2.4 and 5 GHz), QoS, software static IP, and even Google DNS can all interfere with your router. First go into build.prop and look for the 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 lines and delete them, reboot. Try that. If issues persist go into router firmware and change all the Auto settings to a preset. Even something as simple as your phone logged on at the same time could interfere if the channel is saturated. Take everything off the WiFi except for the n10 and try that. Getting a 3rd party router with dual band / 802.11n support is ideal.
The least likely issue is that it could be a hardware issue with your n10.
Hi,
I have realized that my wifi connection drops down from more than 20 to only 1 Mbps with my lg g2. It happens with 2 routers and seems that if I reconnect the phone then I go back to more than 20 (and short later in goes down again). Any idea what can be?
No suggestions on this one? I tried the location services changes with no success. I would say it is some app causing issues, but no idea which one could be...

got exactly the same problem
switching wifi off an on solves the problem for 2 minutes or so. then it drops to 1mbps again. tried different routers.
I figured out that it only concerns internet traffic. LAN traffic remains at full speed.
WHO can help please? :cyclops:
hmmm. wonder if this is the same problem a lot nexus 5 owners have including me.. there's quite a big thread on it in n5 QA section
there's no fix but workaround solutions include running in 2g mode or turning off data when on WiFi and even making a script to do so automatically when entering WiFi areas.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/slow-wifi-n5-t2514501
thank you for that interesting link.
unfortunately the solution turning mobile data off didn't worked for me.
I also tried static IP instead of DHCP - no success.
one strange thing, as already mentioned: LAN traffic to my computer works perfectly with max speed. (copying files e.g.)
so, wifi works in principle. It's about internet traffic only.
but which kind of software/hardware is able to distinguish between internet- and local traffic?
Hi all,
I ordered a Moto G7 from Google during their Black Friday sale. I received the phone yesterday and set everything up but I am having a lot of issues with wifi connection. I did a search on XDA and using google but couldn't really find a solution for this so I'm hoping someone here can help me.
1. While connecting to 2GHz signal, my speed test would results are between 5Mbps - 15Mbps download and 7Mbps - 10Mbps upload. I also notice my wifi would randomly disconnect sometimes for a few seconds.
2. When trying to connect to my 5GHz signal to use AC mode, it would say "connecting" for about a second before it tries to connect to it again. After another try it just gives up and reconnects to my 2GHz signal. I read online that 5GHz is only supported in certain countries but I'm sure it's supported where I'm at (Denver, CO).
I have an old Pixel XL that I was using and my speed tests on that phone are around 45Mbps download using 2GHz and 220Mbps using the 5GHz signal. I have the 200Mbps download plan with Comcast and all my other devices (Pixel XL, tablets, laptop, PC) are all getting the speeds I'm expecting except the Moto G7.
Things I've tried to troubleshoot below.
1. Resetting the network on the G7.
2. Testing it on Safemode (Still can't connect to 5GHz and speeds are still slow).
3. Power cycling my modem/router
4. Factory resetting the phone.
Will putting a custom rom maybe help with my issues? If not then I may just end up returning the phone and stick with my Pixel for now...Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

What's the version installed on the phone? I believe the latest for Fi is 29.114-134-2. Let's start there.
