wifi drops

I have a tattoo for a couple of days and my wifi connection drops out every few minutes. Have searched around xda and google but haven´t found an answer that worked/helped.
I have wireless router in my house. We don´t have any free wifi connections around city so i don´t how it behaves on other connections.
Did anyone found any kind of a solution for this?

What's your router model?

Wifi Drops
Same problem here i got a Netgear WNR2000

have you tried your router's connection with any other device ? (ex. a laptop or another cellphone? ) 'cause it might be a router connection problem

I haven´t tried it with other devices i will do so... It´s Huawei echolife HG520b

i tried 4 laptops and 2 printers to wifi ( works well

I have also been having this issue over the past couple of days. It has worked fine since I bought the phone last month and now the wifi connects and then starts searching again immediately. The router is working fine with laptops and ps3 and another desktop in the back of the house. Im sitting right beside the router now with the signal showing full bars but instantly looping into the search mode and dropping connection. Have soft reset several times and nothing. Also does it with a friends router.
What's the deal here? Is there a fix or a setting im missing?

I have tried my friends laptop and nokia E65 phone and both worked without any problem!
So it seems to be android problem...
I have tried many things that I´ve found on google site and other forums and nothing helped.
Have been changing chanels, security, firewall, hard reset the phone etc. and always the same-every couple of minutes it loses connection!
It seems to be the problem with android 2.1 also....
Hope that someone has a valid solution (and soon)

I had the same problem as all of you. Some times the internet connection was fine and other it simply droped and I couldn´t even find the connection in the setings..
So I asked in a Portuguese forum what could I do to solve the problem and I was advised to use the app 'fix my Wifi'.. I have to say it worked perfectly. It needs some time to understand the problem (some drops will hapen at the begining), but when it understands, the problem disapears.. Until this moment, it never droped again.. I advise you all to use it..

Hello from Slovenia!
Same problem with wifi. I checked the wifi fixer, but i dont know how to do with this app.
I cant click on start or ok, when i start the app, because the text is over the button.
I´ve got DL-524, and sometimes it works perfect, that stop working for 30sec maybe, and then work and then again stop.....
VERY MAD !
Greetings

Hello.
What it says in the begining is that you need to select 'never' in the wifi setings, the part where you choose when does the wifi turns off. Don't worry, use a wiget to turn wífi off when you don't need it..
Then just leave it on, it will fix, in time, your wifi problem. Whit me worked perfectly..

I change it manual, to always on. So just start the problem and turn on wifi and check if somethink happened

I think, that app Wifi Fixer, isnt for the HTC Tattoo. It stops all the time, screen is not in the right dimension, its buggy.
Force close, when try to activate it
Any other ideas?
I try :
- No security, open network ( Same problem )
- No Mac Filter
- WPA Personal TKIP
- WPA2 Personal
I change everything but, still problems
((( Sad

That is very strange, because i have a tattoo (i'm writing in it this moment!) and i'm using the app.. it works fine, no screen problems. I open it (and an icon appears in the tab bar) and i dont have to do anything else.. It really woks great, the connection never failed again and, as i said, i'm using it and it didmt go down. Before thist app, thist was impossible..

But when you start the app, i get on the tab bar, response like thank you for using ...... etc. but when i go to the program, the main screen is bad, About button and Ok, are got, but the active is in the middle of the text. Text is over the button. Heh strange

That ís very strange. But you dont need to go to the main menu. Just make sure the icon is in the tab bar. Then just wait for the app to do is job.. as i said, it will take some time..

[Update]Bluetooth Issue, freeze my TAB

hi
Im running the stock JK6 and rooted.
when Im running e.g. the liveview app my phone keeps some kind of freezing after a few minutes, first I tought it is app related but now I revieved my OBD2 scanner for my car and its just the same with the app "torque".
is this a hardware related problem or something wrong with this ROM.
did a HR several times and reflashed the ROM.
Edit: I noticed when bluetooth recieve or send data I cant get any other wireless date like on wifi or on radio.
please help
Seems to be a one time event with the data problem but the main thing keeps annoing me

Have you tried pulling the battery waiting 60 seconds placing the battery back in the phone and then rebooting?

Eh no cause on the galaxy tab the battery cant be removed

I don't Know, but if you have a Bluetooth PAN connection to the internet, then it should be not possible to have another connection to the internet. IP routing to the gateway would be confused if you could.
There are tools that "group" several separate internet connections into one virtual one.

no Im not using a bt PAN to connect the inet, only normal bluetooth data usage

Push
Just only me who is facing this annoing problem?

Same problem with OBD2 :s disable GPS reduc freeze loop. But not fully (30 minutes). Next time i will turn off Data conection.
Every time i've freeze now i see torque try reconnect to OBD2, seem like BT of SGT turned off or time out

I am having the same problem. As long as I have bluetooth turned on, it will hang the Tab within 30 min. All bluetooth connections are definitely gone. Turning off the bluetooth won't help. The only way is to reboot and never turn bluetooth on.
BTW, I have tried connecting LiveView or a normal bluetooth headset. Both cause the same problem.
I am on JK2.

It seems it is bluetooth driver conflicting with any other data connections.
Did a further testing. Disabled Wifi, but doing data communication via 3G network while turning bluetooth on. The tab hangs in a few minutes. Found a process called 'btld' sucking up all the CPU circle.
Any ideas what 'btld' is?
Thought this should not be a hardware problem because bluetooth works fine when all data connections are off and Wifi/3G data works fine when bluetooth is off. It must be some sort of default setting isn't correct. If this is the case, then root would be a must before manually tuning any parameters.

Found root cause. It is actually the SonyEricsson LiveView software causing troubles. After removing, everything goes well.
Checked on SonyEricsson's web site, it seems Froyo is yet to be supported.

try to use WO Webcam B-Lite out of market, you can open a bt connection by pressing activate and then while running, close via taskmanager, voila the freeze begun

I've got galaxy Tab and galaxy S, and torque badly freezes the devices almost every time I exit the application. It cannot be an hardware fault since I use lot of bluetooth devices and always 3g connected, never had issues. Just with torque, and I don't have any "sony liveview" thing.
Reading on the comments of Torque it seems that also other devices have the same freeze issue (especially a phone called "Evo 4G"). Many months ago I sent a mail to the developer explaining the bug but he bumped me away replying that the app is tested and working on GalaxyTab (and obviously it's not true, or he did some mistake in testing). Now lots of people with this Evo 4G are complaining and the developer is trying to fix. let's hope..

[Q] WhatsApp never stays connected on WIFI

Alright, this is a frustrating issue that I've been having since day 1 with WhatsApp, and it's not even just SGS4, but with my old SGS too.
Problem:
Phone screen turns off while on WIFI, after a while of inactivity, WIFI still seems to run, but WhatsApp lost connection and takes a long time to reconnect, and usually requires a full restart of WIFI.
This does not happen on 3G for me, it only happens when WIFI is active.
Things tried:
- Turn off 3G entirely, so it only runs on WIFI.
- Reinstall WA
- Restart phone.
- Do a clean install of firmware (on my old SGS).
- Test it out on new phone~ (Brand new SGS4 i9505)
I don't know what's causing this, can anyone please help me figure this out? Let me know if you need more info.

is your router set to "always connected" or does it disconnect after sometime if no data comes in?
maybe i'm wrong but if it's only a wifi problem you maybe should look into your router settings.

Already looked into that.
Weird part is that Skype stays connected perfectly fine, but WhatsApp never does.

Please search a bit, this has been answered just a day ago.

[Q] WhatsApp Issues on GS4

Wi-fi and Bluetooth turn on and off randomly

Hey
I am guessing this is a software/app/os issue, but it is noticeable on the LG V20 thanks to the second screen.
Recently I have noticed that wifi and bt turn on while the main screen is off. When I turn the screen on, they both turn off like naughty school kids caught smoking. This is obviously when I am not using wifi or bt.
I have scoured the settings looking for something that can stop this from happening, but nothing so far. Wifi has a setting where it says, "keep wifi on while in standby", with three options, I have tried all three of them, and nothing is preventing this from happening.
I enjoy controlling these functions, and get anxious when it happens automatically. Anyone with advice?

I think I have found the solution. I had the app Firechat installed which uses Bluetooth and WiFi to transmit data to other devices. I have uninstalled it now and it seems that WiFi and bt have stopped turning on automatically.

Anyone else? My wifi will shut off after about 30 seconds and I have those same settings set to keep on. I even tried after a factory reset and still having this issue.

I have the same problem,if the Bluetooth is on I have high latency wifi and conectivity loss, this only fix if I power off the bluetooth

I am also running into this issue. The only way I can get my wifi to connect to my home router is by restarting my phone. Otherwise the rest of the time, I see a message stating that my wifi is disconnected, when it clearly was not, it was even showing me nearby routers that I could connect to, but not my own router, even when i tried to add my router manually, it could not connect. I am having the same issue with Bluetooth connections. My laptop can sometimes see my phones Bluetooth, but my car can't find it at all. I'm on AT&T H910, running on DESOLATION 7.1.2

I got auto bluetooth tethering working, or did I..?

So today I installed my new Eonon GA2185. I was hoping it would be able to tether my phone's internet on bluetooth automatically, without ever having to manually activate bluetooth or hotspot or something like that. It's a mythical function. Some say it's impossible, you'll always have to click at least one button to connect your head unit to the interwebs, some say it's a built in function.
When turning on the radio for the first time and connecting it to my phone's bluetooth I was so desperately hoping it would also borrow its internet, and apparantly it did! There was no wifi network, just bluetooth and I managed to visit some webpages and perform a speedtest (< 1Mb/s, but hey it was something!).
Unfortunately, after customising the unit with all my preferences, apps, accounts and appearances, I lost the bluetooth tethering. It simply stopped working. It only works on wifi now. Anyone know how to get it back or enable it in the first place? I've already reset it to factory settings but that didn't do it.
This unit works on bluetooth 4.0. Does the difference between 4 and 5 matter a lot in this aspect?

Ive got the same problem, I have the same unit as you.
I had it working when I first installed the unit, it just came on automatically when I entered the car. But since a firmware upgrade I cant get it to connect anymore! It was great for Spotify and maps.
If you manage to find a way let me know!

I believe I factory reseted everything again after updating. Then I tried connecting bluetooth first and then WiFi. For some reason that worked (after I rebooted the device, it would turn on wifi but my phone's wasn't broadcasting, and then it automatically switched to bluetooth).
I also noticed that whenever the unit was powered on, an extra setting in my iPhone appeared called 'Ethernet', which apparanly means that it's tethering through bluetooth. Not sure if Android has a similar way of showing.
