After I stream video for a moderate amount of time (~60-90 minutes) I get an exclamation mark next to the icon in the status bar and the only thing that fixes it is resetting my router.
Disabling and reenabling Wifi via settings doesn't fix it. Rebooting the phone doesn't fix it. Only restarting my router resolves the issue.
Obviously, this is very inconvenient and impractical if I'm away from home or other devices are using the connection.
Has anyone else experienced this and if so have you found a fix?
Also, I should note that basic internet use doesn't trigger this error as I can go days without the problem if I don't stream a long enough video. It seems to be specific to streaming video for certain periods of time.
Bump.

Im having weird problems with with wifi on my Trinity. It just randomly stops working. It says its connected.... but I cant call up any webpage. So I cant browse anything for more than 3 minutes without reconnecting to the hotspot, which is weird because when I was streaming video from my PC via ORB, it was connected for over 50 minutes without any trouble. As soon as I turned off the video, and started browsing, it died again.
Any ideas what could be causing this?
I have exactly the same issue.
Its PIE, if you use any other browser like Opera, you should be fine.
Nope, its not working in Opera either.
I had similar issues with wifi. I turned off the power saving mode of the wireless lan and solved my problems.
How do you turn off power save mode? Move the slider to Best Performance?
yes, i moved the slider to the left (my version is not english so I don't know exactly what it says)
That settings makes the device heat up quite a bit, and obviously, wastes the batteries a lot quicker. Isnt there another fix?
Hi all,
First of all (pertinent): I have the following options set on my phone:
Wi-Fi Sleep Policy: Never
Battery Mode: Performance
Data Delivery: Background data on, Data enabled
Now... I've got an issue where music streaming services seem to stop buffering when I'm on Wi-Fi and the screen is off. Happens with both Pandora and Rdio. I've definitely done my due diligence on this issue and nothing seems to help. It is like the settings I've specified above have no effect. Interestingly, if I'm on cellular data, there doesn't seem to be a problem.
I do not stream at home, so at first I thought it was my work Wi-Fi only, but it DOES stream when the screen is on and the song will finish. It is only when the song ends and it tries to buffer a new song that it just hangs until I wake the screen.
I had this issue with stock 1.83, and in every other ROM/radio combo I've tried (now on Ken's Beta #4).
Any suggestions? Maybe something in a database?
Have an option to increase your buffer in your player?
Sent from the coolest phone ever.
No, unfortunately there is no way in the Pandora or Rdio players to increase the buffer (that I have seen). Alas, that would only be a workaround. I also don't think that would help. It seems to be that data completely stops flowing for these programs when the screen is off.
may sound dumb but try changing timeout on screen off and reinstalling your apps. also ask somebody more knowledgeable if there are any tweaks in the root folder that might have something to do with this. but that is another problem. finding somebody who may know.
Thanks for the reply. The screen timeout does not do anything except prolong the inevitable. I have tried to reinstall both apps -- no success.
Has anyone else had this happen to them?
Hi All,
First android device and curious if anyone else is having an issue with WEP WiFi security when opening YouTube,Google play,etc. I sometimes get the "network not available" screen when I try to open any of these apps or try to browse. When I hit the refresh button it loads the page I am trying to view. Usually it takes one click,but other times it takes 3 or 4 for the page to load and stop giving me the "no network available". I tried disabling sync in the background with Google currents but it doesn't fix the problem. I've read other threads that there is lots of WiFi problems such as the range and connecting to certain networks. I can be as close as 10ft away from router and it will occasionally happen. Now I can live with it, but rather fine a solution as pressing the refresh button fixes the problem. I have yet to discover a solution whether this is a bug or hardware related. Any input or solution would be appreciated.
Running jelly bean 4.2.1 version on a 16GB. Should state that other devices over the same WiFi connection don't have this problem.
Thanks in advance!
In the Wifi settings do you have it set to turn off while sleeping or not plugged in?
I have that checked to save battery and sometimes it takes a few secs to come back on and sometimes have to reload the page as well.

Never knew about this setting ,but I have selected to always be on since I usually shut it down at night. I can be browsing Google play for example and say I want to buy an app and when I click on it I get the no network connection page. Been reading and saw a poll here about people having WiFi dropouts. Not sure if that is the case for me. I will look into it next time it happens if the network still On ( or at least it shows its connected). Thanks for the input
Hey guys, I have an issue , of course, with the S8.
I am playing movies to my Samsung smart TV (casting them from my phone I mean) and from time to time this message appears on my TV screen: " Please check your network connection". And then it gets interrupted. And I have to cast it again. Never happened with my S7 on the same wifi network and same TV.
Detail: when I look at the phone screen, the wifi icon is gone and in a few seconds it says: "Connected to wifi network".
What do you guys think? Any idea?
Thanks!
I have a similar issue with streaming to my Audi MMI system music over WiFi, which is basically same as what you do to your TV. I believe that Battery optimization is killing the background process, and thats why you loose connection. Go to Settings​, Apps, click on top right corner and chose : special services, than battery optimization. From the drop menu chose All apps, and make sure that anything, related to streaming, casting is switched off (exluded from optimization). Also make sure that you have under connections, WiFi, top right corner: advanced​,make sure you have a tick on Keep WiFi on durring sleep.
Thanks man, I have the WiFi during sleep on...but from all those apps...I admit I am not sure which ones are to be switched off for optimization. Does your issue happen at certain exact times? Or just whenever it pleases?
Did it for Samsung Connect. Now I just hope it wont eat up my battery )
It was happening while playback, in the middle of the songs. I found about the battery optimization today, so hasn't manage to try if its resolved already.
All day today I have been having Wi-Fi connectivity issues. None of the other devices in my home are experiencing this. It is just my OnePlus 8 Pro that keeps dropping Wi-Fi and refuses to load games. While I'm on Facebook or any other app it refuses to load. It doesn't matter what frequency I am on or what channel I am on. It is not my service provider I have already called and asked. I think something is messed up. So is anyone else having Wi-Fi problems on the OnePlus 8 Pro?
Do you have a private DNS active?
Same here

Click to expand...

Mine will only stay connected for short periods. If I put it down and leave it for a while 9 times out of 10 it's swapped me back to mobile data. I've reached out to OnePlus to see if it's a fault or a known problem they're working on.
This is actually happening to me as well. 10.5.8 stock rooted. I see that exclamation point next to the wifi signal sometimes and nothing else in the house is having issues.
Okay so this is what you have to do to fix the problem. Click onto your Wi-Fi and let it go into the settings then swipe up on your screen and go into the app info. Clear your cache. Turn your Wi-Fi off and back on and it should work just fine
I have a much better fix. Change your MAC privacy setting to "Use device MAC" and change from default "Use randomized MAC". Wa la I haven't had a drop all day. This has been driving me crazy!
It might actually be a really simple problem with a simple solution, just i need to see a screenshot with the diagnostics, or the troubleshoot from the device why doesn't it want to keep the connection steady. You can actually learn all these things related to the wifi and some little programming things really easily, it is not that tough, trust me. I took the cisco programming course from SPOTOclub.com, during this pandemic, and in one month i was already an expert in the wireless connection and the LAN and so on and so forth.
If you're having Wi-Fi connection problems or see an Wi-Fi icon with an exclamation point Wi-Fi problem, try the solutions below:
Make sure Wi-Fi is on. Then turn it off and on again to reconnect.
Make sure Airplane mode is off. Then turn it on and off again to reconnect.
Press your phone's power button for a few seconds. Then, on your screen, tap Restart Restart.If you don't see "Restart," press and hold the power button for about 30 seconds, until your phone restarts.
