Slow WiFi connection - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have noticed that my G2's WiFi connection runs VERY slow. I get speeds of 2mb/s while on a computer I get 25+mb/s. I get the same ping on both devices. Is this a hardware or software limitation that can be solved by a kernel fix?

There is a thread about the G2/DZ having WiFi antenna issues. This happens when you use the phone in landscape mode. Signal bars drop significantly. In my case, I got totally disconnected (but I had poor WiFi signal strength that time). However, when I remove my hand from the top part of the device, signal strength and speed return. This could probably be your issue, since I really get good speed from my DZ. I could even stream movies over WiFi.

Do you have wifi calling enabled? Try disabling it and restarting. You'll likely see regular speeds again. Works for me every time.

Nope, I will be looking at the bcm4329 source when I get my computer running to see if I can boost the speed a little.
This may also be a router combatibility problem. So we can narrow it down can people post this:
Router brand/model
Wireless B/G/N
Wpa wep or no security
Hidden access point (yes/no)
And if you are having problems

Wpa wep or no security: WPA
Hidden access point (yes/no): no
And if you are having problems: Only when wifi calling is enabled. Must disable that and restart in order to get expected speeds. For example, it drops from standard 12mbit to like 1mbit.

I have the same problem with my G2.
Wi-Fi is on all the time when I'm at home, as is Wi-Fi calling because the signal is very weak here. When I first connect to Wi-Fi it's very fast. Normally I get approximately 17mbps down, 3.5mbps up. However, it seems like the connection "goes stale" after a while and I end up only getting about 2-3mbps both up and down.
It's not consistent though. Sometimes it gets slow right away, other times it will take a couple hours. But it always drops to the 2-3mbps range consistently. Plus I always have issues with the connection after it drops in speed: No connection errors, sometimes unresponsive, etc.
To fix it I simply turn Wi-Fi off and back on, but that gets to be a hassle because I have to do it every time I want to use my phone.
It has nothing to do with holding the phone in vertical or horizontal orientation, or signal strength, because even when I'm using the phone right next to the router it still happens. I never had this issue with my Cliq, but it didn't have Wi-Fi calling, which I'm thinking is the cause. Though I haven't tested it to see if it still happens with Wi-Fi calling off.
It happens with any ROM, though currently running CM7 Nightly 27.
Anyone have an explanation, or a solution?

Update: After testing it seems to only happen when wifi calling is enabled. Although I have to turn wifi off and back on to fix it. Simply turning off wifi calling doesn't fix it.

I turned SSID broadcast back on and it works fine now, someone else want to replicate those settings and see if they have problems?

I am having problems connecting to my wireless router, my Evo is saying I have a "poor signal" at my computer desk but my computer is showing me at 100% signal. I think its a Evo software thing but thats my 2 cents. I don't use my wifi often with my phone any way so no biggie for now.
I also have ssid broadcast off and I cant get it working.

Hi everybody, So far I love the EVO even without 4g. Anyway after I turned on my ssid I connected okay. I can see the market and find what I want to download. It says downloading but never does. I have downloaded apps with the 3g but I don't have a signal at my home. I always used winmo before and had no problems downloading on my home network. I wondered if anyone had any suggestions as to what I might be missing. I got root okay and have been having a blast but I sure would like to download some more apps while I am at home. Thanks, Rick
SSID broadcast off and no issues for me thus far.
Yes, me too. Sort of.
My Evo shows 1 bar of wifi signal strength at a distance of 8 feet from the router where my iphone shows full bars. I do get decent download speeds using xspeedlabs free but the upload speed seems to cap at 750kbs where the iphone goes over 1mbs with the same test. There is definitely something weird going on.

I am having similar results as far as signal strength. Sitting 2 feet away from my router I am only showing one bar of signal strength and getting very slow speeds. All of my other wifi devices (including those that are on the opposite side of the house and downstairs) are getting signals ranging from "good" to "excellent". Something definitely seems to be up with the wifi.....

I was having wifi issues too. I'm running dd-wrt on my router. Turns out just power cycling the router fixed it. I think I'm going to setup my router to reset weekly.
I get the same issue of having 1 bar of signal strength, regardless of how close I am... even tried on 2 different wireless routers, Linksys-dual band N, and Net gear A/B/G.
I get strong signal from both routers on all other devices, iPhone, iTouch, Touch Pro, Laptops, etc...
I've played with all the settings on the EVO, turning off the mobile data and only having wifi on, changing the encryption settings on the routers... nothing seems to work.
I love the phone, but kinda bummed about this issue.
I have ssid broadcasting turned off and I'm using WPA 2 with no problems.
There is a long, angry thread about this over at HTC's own EVO forum: http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/94/t/2929.aspx
I'm also getting less Wi-Fi performance on the EVO than on other devices in the house.
Using Fresh 1.0.1 rom and also the new Cyanogen rom, with the SSID off, I cannot connect with WiFi, with SSID on, it works fine. Using Cisco/Linksys e2000 router.
Tested with my iPhone with SSID off, it connects no problem. So the problem is not my router.
Is this limitation of EVO?

I seem to be cutting out on wifi calls

A couple friends have complained I cut out while on wifi calling. I don't notice them dropping. Any ideas?
I'm on Darkside 2.5.1, my network hardware is...connected to Linksys E3000 operating as an AP, upstream is a Linksys E4200, Cox is my ISP 25 Meg circuit. Ping times over the same wifi connection are always under 35ms.

I had that happen when I would walk to far away from the Router...is this happening when your standing close to it? Seems odd for sure.
Kinda off topic but have u noticed voice lag when using wifi calling?
I have stopped using wifi calling as the voice lag is disturbing compared to using the cell network which has no voice lag issues.. Makes zero sense to me.

I havent noticed any lag, just apparently cutting out. Im not far away from my router either...full signal. Im going to try an experiment and connect to the main router upstairs instead of my AP downstairs...maybe something in that connection is causing it.
I've had problems when using a bluetooth headset while on wifi calling. This happens on stock and on both roms I've tried. I don't have trouble with wifi calling as long as I stay off of the headset.

Its not the internet connection, for some reason the current ROMS dont play well with wifi sharing, or should I say Wifi and Data connection. I was running Juggernaut5.0 when I noticed that the wifi would stop working after 15mins. I also used All Share and it at the same time wifi calling would stop working. I also noticed when I woke the phone from sleep state, the 4g symbol would return and then I would loose wifi calling. The 4g would disappear and only wifi would show but calling still wouldnt connect. I returned to my nandroid of the stock rooted and I havent had an issue since. Wifi calling will always work along with allshare. One thing that I did notice is that airplane mode would help keep the consistency across the board. IDK
P.S. my gateway is in my bedroom where I mainly use my phone. Most of the time its in arms reach, sits right next to my xbox
Well I set my phone to connect to my main router upstairs instead of the AP downstairs. It seems to have helped a bit. Friends reported far less cut outs. Only a couple in a 20 min call.
Perhaps there are others with similar set up having similar issues this may help.

I'm having the same issue with Wifi. It'll still show as being "connected", but there won't be any data coming through. I'll have to toggle Wifi on/off to get it back. Sometimes it'll work for a couple of hours before having the data issue again, sometimes less than a minute.
I'm on stock, rooted.

Connections optimizer is off for me too - My phone shows a clear signal disconnect and reconnect (The wifi bars/3g symbol disappears completely) during this time all data connections fails - including texts. This is happening when I'm staying in one area so it couldn't be a tower reconnection issue.
I'm going to try taking my phone into a sprint store today to see what they say.

Ah, it sounds like our issues may be different then. My issue is solely with Wi-Fi (haven't noticed issues with 3G). When it happens for me the Wi-Fi icon in the status bar doesn't change, I just can't connect to anything.

Yup, same here. Seems like the 3G radio does the same thing, but not necessarily at the same time as the WIFI. At first I thought is was only the WIFI too, but 3G is affected, though not to as severe a degree. My WIFI was actually disconnecting and failing to reconnect. Turning off connection manager made no difference. I did however notice that the WIFI at my work (WEP encryption) never seemed to do this (at least I didn't notice), so I changed my home network WPA to WEP and sure enough, it stays connected. Was still failing to load occasionally, so I went even further and changed the router to a single channel rather than "Auto" and set it to "N Only" (due to having a similar problem with a laptop I used to have, with a similar solution). Problem fixed. I'm using an Amped R10000 just FYI, not sure if it matters. Very annoying, and given the number of occurances being sufficient to start a thread, I'm assuming this is a common issue and will hopefully be fixed by a firmware update. In the meantime, we should probably all start calling Sprint daily and complaining. Maybe they're not even aware of it. Probably not enough of these phones in circulation yet for them to worry about it.
Mine will do this from time to time. Stock not rooted. I will have full 3g bars and full wifi bars and my data will just hang. If I turn off wifi everything works again. Some times when I load a game that has to connect to Facebook to play against friends I have to close the app/game, remove it from memory and reload it to get the data to work. Same thing for Pandora. It will load a song to 2% and hang until I stop wifi or reboot the phone. It's not an everyday thing but some days are worse then others.

"Good to see" from the perspective I thought it was just me. Things described by others happening to me as well. Personally, I find I like the wifi/3g auto connectivity feature - when it works. Got my SGNII on Thurs last week, and connected to wifi at work on Friday no issues. This morning, the Note picked up my work wifi without a hitch.
At home, over the weekend, I was getting spotty connection, sometimes no connection to my wifi. (Disclaimer - I have my main wifi @ N/5ghz. An access point was added with wireless G via an old Netgear router-turned-AP.) After several attempts of moving the AP from one cat6 jack to another, I finally moved it to my main level. Oddly enough, so far, so good. Certainly possible the router's radio is pooping out.
What I notice happen with connection issues though seem related to the Note seeing my wireless G, trying to connect, but unable to do so until/unless I reboot my phone. After moving to the new location/jack, everything seems to work OK now (knock on wood).
Having said that... I also think the 3g radio (HW or SW?) is a bit wonky, as my old HTC Hero seemed to have more bars at home, IIRC. Whatever it is, just seems a bit lacking, IMHO.
Sprint is updating to LTE in many markets ive noticed my 3G drops says preparing networks and reestablishes the connection to 3G. I live in Fort Wayne and issue the permits for the tower co-locates and they are close to going live with LTE here so I know thats my problem. I can live with the flakiness for a few more days. I have not had issues with WIFI drops at home.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
The same thing has been happening to me here on Long Island. 3g drops and reconnects. Sometimes it doesn't and a reboot fixes it. I also notice after the disconnect and reconnect it states my PRL is unknown. I have done a PRL update many times, a Profile Update, a RTN reset, and a factory reset. This happens on the stock rom and any custom ROM. It's driving me insane!
hmm maybe mobile settings?
Ive found LTE/CDMA setting to be not so good.
Its providing me eHRPD signal which is stop and go web browsing is murder.
CDMA only setting is providing Rev A signal fast web browsing
Sigh, so it seems as if you guys are losing wifi/3g....is it affecting voice radios or LOS/dropped calls?

I haven't been on the phone when it's happened so I couldn't tell you - Nothing like the LOS on the E4GT. When the data connection does cut out it immediately reconnects. Doesn't really impair the functionality of the phone but it happens enough to be annoying. With a 300$ price tag I expect my device to be without defect.

I'm not having LOS /dropped calls just data creep with LTE/Cdma setting enabled.
Speed test show same data speed numbers as CDMA only setting but when browsing data arrows tend to pause more making for slower page upload with LTE/CDMA setting enabled.
According to Sprint store tech such performance is common with that setting.

I am on CDMA only. I should have mentioned that in my first post. This does affect phone calls too as ill be on the phone and the call will drop and the "out of service area" message comes up. It doesnt matter if I'm on my Airave or not. I tried different prls which doesn't seem to make a difference. I am starting to think there is something wrong with the phone as my girlfriends S3 doesn't do this. Maybe Samsung will release some sort of update to fix this issue.

I made the change back to CDMA only mode this morning and it has solved my WiFi issues as well. I was also struggling getting a GPS lock with LTE enabled. GPS toolkit would show 20/21 satellites found but it would never get a lock. After the reboot back into CDMA mode it locked in 5 seconds.

[Q] Poor wifi signal

Sooo I've had my M8 for nearly a month now and I love the thing. However, I notice that I've been having some issues with the M8 not being able to detect or connect to my home and office's wifi. My laptop and my fiance's Nexus 5 can detect our home wifi network with full strength.
Interestingly, the closer I get to my router, the stronger the signal gets, but the moment I move maybe 20 feet away into another room, the wifi cuts out or gets very weak. I understand that distance is a factor, but I feel that my M8 should be able to connect to my router in the next room, especially when other devices can do so with no problem.
I think it's also worth noting that this was not always an issue. This only started happening recently - the only software upgrade that I did was the Verizon push that installed right out the box. I have not made any changes to my wifi network at home or work.
I've tried a couple of things with no resolution, including;
Resetting my router (power cycling)
Restarting my phone
Forgetting both wifi networks and manually re-adding them
Changing my wifi direct name
Turning on airplane mode, turning off my wifi, turning off airplane mode then turning on wifi (this was a suggested method for the M7 that I saw on another forum)
I did some Googling and didnt find much, so maybe I just have a lemon, but I did see that wifi connectivity was an issue with the M7.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I'm having the exact same problem getting over 20Mbps over Ethernet but then 0.25Mbps on my M8 over WiFi even when close to router
Have you guys played around with your routers settings?
What signal is your router on, wireless b,g,n,ac?
Is it throwing mixed frequency? (2.4ghz or 5ghz or both)
Go to WiFi settings in the phone, then advanced, then it will probably say "auto".
Try setting it on only 2.4ghz or only 5ghz see if that helps.

LG g3 WiFi issues

Is anyone else having this problem? My phone keeps dropping the WiFi signal even if I'm next to the WiFi router. The WiFi indicater shows good signal with all bars lit at all times and I don't get any notifications of signal being low but it still doesn't load/connect to anything. It's very sporadic, but regular.. once singal is lost it won't load anything for a minute or 2 even if the WiFi on the phone is turned off and on. I've tried resetting the router but the problem still persists. All other devices connected to the same WiFi don't have any problems. I'm using the virgin super hub by netgear.

I have a similar issue at my partner's house. When I first got the phone I had no issues connecting to the 5 Ghz wi-fi connection, but lately I have issues with the 5Ghz, but connecting to his 2.4 Ghz connection works well. His device and other household devices work well on the 5 Ghz connection. It is annoying, but since the 2.4 Ghz seems quick, I am not going to worry too much about it right now. Hope there is a solution though.
I remember my z1 having similar problems...it was fixed by changing the security mode I think...wep..wpk...or something...just fool around with it...no harm in trying
I have a NetGear accesspoint that the G3 refuses to connect to regardless of the G or A bands. So frustrating.
Stard having this issue this weekend, thought it was the router location and I repositioned and still no help.
Hoping and update fixes it
I too have experienced issues with WiFi during my last 4 days of ownership. Perfect WiFi signal (I was sitting within feet of the router) yet no Internet connection. Cycling WiFi off and on fixed the issue. This occurred on two different networks using different hardware. Both were using WPA2-PSK authentication. No other devices on the network experienced any issues.

That option was already enabled on my device. I never enabled it, so it must have been on by default.
Also, when this happened, my G3 still had a valid IP address
Have same problem since day 1. Cycling between 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz and vice versa seems to fix for the short term.
But seems to happen on a daily basis.....!
I have the issue has well. In fact, mine will sit at obtaining IP address.
i have same isuee
i have same isuue here with my lg g3 16 gigs model
wifi sigal drops all the time i did factory seetings and did not help
plzzzz help as am start to hate my device
add static ip address to resolve the issue
I added static ip address and it was able to connect to the wifi but it will
be the same problem when you connect to another wifi at a different location.
Do not change network prefix length/DNS1/DNS2. Keep these the same.
You could use this as temporary fix at home atleast and connect to wifi.
Disconnect completely from your WiFi, switch off WiFi on the phone, turn back on and go to advanced settings, uncheck the Google auto scan thing, then connect back to your WiFi.

Still have same problem
It worked on mine. Much more stable.
I am also experiencing this and it is really annoying. Toggling WiFi off and back on always fixes it, but that is not an actual solution because the problem happens so frequently.
I have tried:
Disabling Sprint connection optimizer
'Keep WiFi on when screen is off' is enabled
'Allow WiFi scanning' is disabled
'WiFi signal weak' is disabled (set so that it does not disconnect from WiFi when signal is weak)
'Battery saving for WiFi' is disabled
Using a static IP address
Factory Reset
Forget network
I still have had no luck. Does anybody else have any suggestions? I have about a dozen devices on my network and they play nicely; this is the only device giving me trouble. I am starting to wonder if it is time to RMA?
EDIT: It doesn't seem to happen when I connect to the WiFi at my work. Hopefully flashing a newer build of DD-WRT will remedy this. I love this phone except for that one issue; unfortunately though, this issue would be pretty hard to live with....
Same thing here. Before G3 I had G2 and Flex, both had the same wifi problem. Funny thing is that some $150 Chinese almost noname generic phones never have this problem on my home wifi. It's exclusive to LG.
Same Problem here. I am having a Nexus 5 sitting next to it. No problem with the N5 but constantly interruptions with the G3. This phone is starting to annoy the hell out of me.
I have the VZW G3 rooted, have no issues with WiFi on either antenna using an Asus dual band router.
I did have issues with a dlink, but it had issues with all phones not just the g3 so I replaced it.
