Tablet disconnects from GNexus hotspots every 12mins - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi, I'm having this problem with internet connection using the portable Wi-Fi hotspot on my Galaxy Nexus. My A500 (Tablet) connects without a hitch to the Nexus but after 12 mins (this happens after each connection),the tablet disconnects then waits for about 20secs before establishing connection again.
While all this is going on, the hotspot on GNexus is still very much on.
This can be annoying especially when streaming videos on the A500 which tends to result in starting the videos all over again ie after each disconnection.
What can i do to resolve this issue? And is this a problem from GNexus or A500?
I'm on Stock Honeycomb 3.2.1 on the tablet and not rooted while GNexus is on Stock ICS and unrooted. Thanks

i used to have an a500(gave it to my dad) and wi-fi drop out was a common problem for me, i just rooted and changed to a custom ROM and it was fixed.

I have the same problemwith my HTC Flyer (rooted and 3.2.1) and stock Gnex 4.0.2. Sure would be nice to use this feature again without any problems.

Try another tethering app like Android Tether

No problems here, aokp + franco kernel

The first step is to figure out which device is the problem. You need to discover that out for yourself by using a third wifi device and try using that as a hotspot and a streaming device. After you figure out which is actually the problem then you can report back

If this turns out an ICS/nexus software issue, and hotspot is renewing dhcp licence every 12mins, OP should check official bugtracker (he's on stock), and if issue has not yet been reported, then do so.

Wifi Automatically Turns On?

Sometimes when I unlock the phone when I'm at work I see that my battery is lower than usual and I recently found out that the wifi has been automatically turning on. Anyone know why? I've been having this problem alot now and its annoying.

Keep wifi on if you have a good connection.

Weird... never had this problem and I turn off WiFi daily.
You try resetting? You on stock rom or custom?
Never had that happen either, and its probably a bug (factory reset may help) unless you maybe have an app trying to do it?
I toggle WiFi daily and have never had it turn on by itself. Maybe an app turning it on?
I'm gonna try factory reset to see if that works

[Q] Wifi connecting issue

Since last couple of months I'm facing this. My wifi, once connected, stays connected. But once turned off, after turning on, it would just show the connection as saved, secured with wpa2 and won't connect. Turning off and on multiple times doesn't help as well. Just if i keep it off for some hours or so, then turn it on, it might sometimes get connected. The signal strength is excellent though and once connected, it stays connected. I've tried factory resetting, formatting data as well. Tried a lot of different roms but in vain. Could this be a hardware issue? Is there any workaround for this?
Does this occur with all wifi locations?
Are you running stock rom?

I didn't think the radio would impact Wi-Fi.
I would try to see what happens on another Wi-Fi hotspot, to rule out something with the home wi-fi.

Bluetooth Issue: Instant Disconnection

Anyone have issues connecting from the S3 to another Android device? My phone will be connected for a split second and do the connection. It seems like this only happens for connecting to another device.
Thanks

Is google really going to leave this phone with broken WiFi on 4.3

On all 4.3 ROMs including stock wifi autoscanning is broken. It works for a while but after deep sleep it stops. This causes it to not connect to known networks and leaves you on mobile data unless you manually open the WiFi menu.

Really mine doesn't do that?
I'm on SlimBean Build 2 with Fancy kernel. No problems here with Wi-Fi that I notice. Maybe this isn't much, but I make full-use of Profiles such that my 'Home' profile turns off Mobile Data and turns on Wi-Fi.
This has happened on mine more than a few times. I'm not totally sure what conditions cause it to occur, but it definitely exists.
Two of us here at my office have this issue. Friday, I went back to stock 4.2.2 then the wifi was good again. Then Saturday, I let the phone update to 4.3. Wifi problem again. Today I went back to 4.2.2 again and the wifi is working again. I'm not sure why Google hasn't fixed this. Please do!
Maybe they did fix it already. Android 4.4 is already out.

What about drivers and kernel in this version? They fixed the main issues?

Fixed or are using workarounds
Wish the aosp browser wasn't crap on 4.4. Also wish WiFi autoconnect worked in 4.3. Its really annoying that it randomly stops working until you manually open the WiFi menu. It still occurs even on cm10.2.0

what exactly do you mean wifi auto connect fail? It has been auto connecting for me? do you mean auto connect as in walk home, phone detected wifi signal and automatically turn wifi on and connect? if thats the case then i have no idea as ive never tried to do so.
Anyways.........anyone know a good cm11 kernel? currently i am using stock kernel and maaaan its missing so many functions D:
testing since yesterday, the rom is stable and whitout problems, don't had crash etc, just have a glich when u take a screenshot (in the preview) but the captured immage is fine.
I think the only thing that must be fixed is the browser, some times is choppy, double tap for zoom sometimes don't works and the video preview don't work.
I'm not sure but i have noticed a slight battery drain, more than the 4.3 stock:good:

It doesn't happen in cm10.1 or 10.0. It started happening when google changed the wifi framework in 4.3 to the always on scanning. Even with that setting disabled the scanning is still glitched.

pretty stable nightly
Using CM11 nightly since yesterday. Had no issues except the screenshot preview. Screen shots are gettive saved correctly though. Also a little drop in battery life but maybe cause I am using it more. Is good for daily use.
I have flashed the nightly and there are 2 issues so far.
1. google now does not work
2. Spotify only plays 5 seconds then it goes mute while the playback continues.
I've found another issue: except for whatsapp and SMS I don't get any instant messaging notifications. Fb messenger as well as hangouts don't show anything in the status bar.
Funnily I use hangouts for SMS and it shows SMS...
Can someone confirm that?
Apart from that the only thing that really bugs me, is the glitch when playing music and powering off the screen. I would call it Playback-bug.
I dirtyflashed though. Too lazy to wipe, don't want to lose a lot of the stuff.
If nothing helps, I will wipe...

Its not the security thats the issue. The wifi radio stops autoscanning after deep sleep. Not everytime but enough to be a problem. I am not the only one with this issue.

Ive noticed this a lot lately as well.
My gnex is no longer on any carrier, strictly use on Wi-Fi now, and ever since 4.3 I experience same exact thing as you. (It also seems to randomly forget access points I've saved multiple times for no reason hahaha)
Haven't tried 4.4 to see if it persists yet
