Is Wi-Fi really problematic on Note2?

I see reports of problematic Wi-Fi for the Note2 & I've heard the multi-view update (for AT&T anyway) will also include Wi-Fi improvements so the question for current Note2 owners is just how problematic is Wi-Fi really at this time?
-Thnx

Not problematic at all

I personally haven't seen any hardware deficiencies on this device, and no major software issues. Wifi is stable, the hot spot is stable, bluetooth is stable, and I'm getting higher speeds and better connectivity then I've ever seen on tmo's network.

I also have no issues with wifi what so ever. Great phone! Everything works as it should; minus having the multi window update of course.

Same here. No problems when I use wi-fi.

Wifi is actually stronger than on my gs3

Good to hear about the Wi-Fi as I use Wi-Fi a lot & it could have been a deal breaker. I'm hoping T-Mobile will feel more pressure regarding the multi-view update when Verizon this week launches with it & AT&T who has worked on it for a while updates it. Sprint the first major carrier to get multi-view is my current carrier with the EVO which will see its 2 yr contract end Saturday so I ordered http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A45SF7G last night-should arrive Friday. Would also like to see this white case when available as I'll likely be getting the Note 2 in grey & want to see it in these black & white kickstand cases like my black EVO. I'll also get http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-CSK3SSGT2K-BK-ACTIVE-Kickstand-Samsung/dp/B00A45SGKC when available again as my EVO & seen in Seidio Active and Surface Case Unboxing and Review for the Samsung Galaxy Note II .
I hope T-Mobile doesn't wait until the Note 3 to update to multi-view & what ever happened to the screen recorder function?

Wifi connectivity is awesome no issues.

So do you all think the reports of Wi-Fi issues are just isolated issues then?

"WiFi
The Note 2 uses BCM4334 for WiFi and is enabled for both 2.4 and 5 GHz. Just like the Galaxy S 3 that means 40 MHz channels on 5 GHz for a maximum physical layer speed of 150 Mbps. I did have some weird issues here, no matter what I did I couldn’t get the Note 2 to go on the 5 GHz AP, or get up to 150 Mbps.

Curiously enough there isn’t any 2.4 or 5 GHz priority toggle under the advanced tab in WiFi settings, yet the Galaxy S 3 models have this toggle and the same WiFi hardware stack. I suspect there’s some software or configuration issue here.
As a result we see iPerf performance out of the Galaxy Note 2 along the lines of what you’d expect for just 2.4 GHz operation. I’m puzzled as to why this is the case quite honestly."

My wifi sometimes disconnect and reconnect a few times a day. Never had any problems on my sg3. Don't think it's my router. I passed my returning window.

I did have that problem when I first bought it actually. I tried disabling the wifi sleep option by doing these:
*#0011# > press menu key on phone > WiFi > click the "ON" button so it does't light up (basically turn it off).
It seemed to have solved the problem but still seem to happen rarely. I thought i had a dud but after I did a factory data reset and all wifi problems were since solved.
My friend did a factory reset before he even used his phone and he never experienced any Wifi problem. Hope this helps...

Thanks. Just turned off the wifi sleep mode in phone setting. Hopefully this will help with wifi dropping.

FWIW I've been a tad disappointed in the WiFi, performance seems okay but it's finicky about routers. I've got a mid range Cisco unit (500 series) at home and it will not connect to the 2.4ghz side at all, but will the 5ghz. At the office it's the other way around (Engenius business grade stuff). Once connected it's been fine, seems slightly slower over wifi than the original note but otherwise fine, it's just picky and takes some extra steps for me. I've upgraded to the latest firmware on my router at home with no change, not that I expected one as the release notes had nothing applicable.

any ideas what are the difference between the wi-fi power saving from this menu vs the "keep wifi on during sleep" in the phone settings? They seem to turn on and off independently.

I'd check the Wi-Fi sleep policy but curious why a factory reset before using the phone would help as shouldn't it already be in a factory reset state before using (i.e. what your friend experienced could have just been a coincidence)?
Good to see that this is not in fact a common experience..
-Thnx

I'll pay you to fix this. *PLEASE*

Basic info:
- I'm on The People's Rom GS3.17
- I'm using KTweaker and running one of their profiles
- I'm ATTEMPTING to use Tasker to regulate Wifi home/out and data home/outside
So pretty much here's my problem:
I've attempted to use Taster to make sure Wifi is ON when im at home and OFF when i leave home (according to cell towers)
I've also tried to make sure Data/Wifi is OFF when screen is OFF and ON when screen is on.
But even if Tasker was working perfectly, this problem still persists and this is it:
1) When I use WiFi at home, every so often, it will just shut off (even if the screen is on) and it will revert to 3G
2) The only solution to this is to turn off Wifi, then turn it back on, and only THEN will it capture the SSID and connect to the internet.
Example shown below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
In the above picture, "InternetOnly" is the SSID for my university and yet, with Wifi enabled, it doesn't access the damn SSID and the internet! It is using 3G. In fact, when I click to connect to that SSID, it says "out of range" which is BS. Only when I reset the Wifi connection does it connect me to the internet/ssid. Exact same problem occurs with the SSID at home. Wifi policy is set to sleep "never" btw.
As for Tasker, this is what I'm using for automation which is failing epicly (I deleted the task about cell towers because it was getting annoying):
I THINK the problem would work if I stock resetted my phone using ODIN but I don't want to
Someone please help.

Okay so it happened again; I'm at home, and it was connected to WiFi, and now it's back to 3G even though WiFi is enabled. When I click to connect, it says "failed to connect to network" even though I'm literally a few feet from the router.

In TPR you have to freeze in Titbu just like you did good move. The settings have it removed because so many people where messing things up not knowing what they where doing.

Yeah the update is that even after flashing the damn .zip, the WiFi still randomly disconnects from my SSID (even though the WiFi itself is enabled)
SUPER ANNOYING!!!

Should I just change the SSID? I heard sometimes it doesn't like upper-case letters and numbers.

Cannot make or recieve calls after lollipop advanced calling activated.

I did not find anything in my verizon to activate so I simply turned on the feature with my phone and lost ability to call.
To make a long story short, after pulling Sim card, battery, clearing cache, partition cache etc I still could not make or recieve calls on my verizon note 4.
After activating the advanced calling feature, it asks you to wait about 5 min and reboot.
I waited about 20 min and lost my ability to do calls afterwards. Even after turning off the feature I still could not get or send calls.
Here's what fixed it..
1. Turn off advanced calling feature in the phone.
2. Then reboot
3. After that you can turn it on or off and calling is restored.
Just wanted to share as I could find no help online.

Turned it on after the upgrade a couple days ago. Works for me. Get a little "HD" icon on calls and the video button. Haven't tried video, and don't notice a difference in call quality yet. But I've not made many calls and even few to other verizon users.

Seems the voice is still dependent upon the regular voice channel bring intact.
I was on hospital wifi and recieved a call but the call still dropped when walking deeper into the building where 4g was lost. Point being it did not handshake over to wifi.
I think only video does that.
But all of my calls have been good, but like you, I can't tell if a real change yet or placebo.

I noticed on my Note 4, the stock dialer keypad has the video call icon grayed out. Is this correct? I was able to receive a HD call as well as a video call.

Seems it is greyed out until the other party actually connects then it checks their status and only then are you allowed to push the icon button and it will tell you if the party is not a candidate
Even when the icon becomes active is still appears grayed out, maybe it only turns color once a connection is made you do the HD service?

Not particularly intuitive. I'm not sure how I initiate a video call if the icon is greyed out. The video call I got was a test from a Verizon store employee testing the system. He wasn't all that sure about the feature. However, once I received his call, I can use Recent. There is a video icon available in this screen. But, the keypad video icon stayed greyed out even if I manually typed his phone number. Non-intuitive.

well it was practically quite funny when I called Verizon tech support and I got a level 2 tech. I ended up solving my own problem and teaching her the whole time, she asked me if my phone was damaged because she couldn't retrieve any information off of it.... of course I neglected to tell her I had all of that stuff blocked!

To me had dangerous situation. Couldn't get call in my house as my 4g signal is iffy (cell signal fine).... HD voice doesn't automatically swap to old cell towers if no 4g. Not good for people who rely on cell phones for jobs at hospital

I am moving to a new location with much better service so I will not be needing my verizon booster, if you or anybody is interested PM me

Lol. Thx. Really hoping for an auto hand off to old cell method.

Verizon says you can tell it's activated if you have the video calling in your contacts groups which I do.
However do you guys have this greyed out like here?

That must mean it's activated... Or it would be available.
My next screen shows checked as here...
But still trying to confirm it's actually working... Guess I'll never know till I connect with someone else that has it?

I have a similar problem. Making calls seems to work OK, but anytime someone calls me it is just dead air. I have tried toggling HD voice on and off, restarting the phone, and popping the battery out and removing the SIM, etc. Nothing seems to work.

Mine looks exactly like your screenshots. I also was able to test both HD calling and video calling with a relative who has a Note 4 as well. I couldnt really notice a difference with HD calling since we both were using BT but the HD icon was on during the call then we switched to video calling and it worked without any problems.

Did you try the sequence that fixed mine in post #1?
Turn off the feature. Then reboot and let your system reconnect to the network while the feature is off.
Then turn it back on.
Seems once you activate the feature the first time and the switch is turned on for you in the network it needs to connect to your phone while the feature is off... Once connected, it stays connected when the feature is turned back on.
Once you're past this phase, seems you can turn it off and on at will without issues.

I tried that. I even did a factory reset with no luck. So basically I did a factory reset for no reason. I went into My Verizon and removed the feature from my account entirely and it seems to work fine now.

Strange.. I never went into my verizon at all... Correction, I did look but couldn't find the option so I just activated it only on my phone.
I had Verizon check and they said they show it activated.
They definitely have a few bugs yet getting set up.

Calls will not work on WiFi since Verizon has not enabled this feature yet citing there network is good enough where they don't need to rely on WiFi.......that's literally what they said. Advanced calling strictly enables VOLTE which is voice over LTE as opposed to over their old 3G CDMA network. Also allows for native video chat which also uses LTE. They said WiFi calling is planned but not a priority.

If they let you do WiFi calling they wouldn't get to sell the network extenders at an outrageous price. They get no benefit out of allowing WiFi calling.
Edit: bastards.

I turned on Advanced Calling on my Note 4 and haven't had a problem. However, I tried turning it on on my wife's LG G3 and she had the same issue. She could make or receive any calls, but could send and receive texts. It took a while playing around with it, but I finally got turned it off and it's fine now. Not sure why her's won't work.

Restricted access changed - voice service is blocked

I've been receive this error message when connected to WiFi. Not sure why or what is causing it. I have yet to be able to link the error message to an issue, however it is still annoying to see. Any suggestions?
Secondly, I have the T-Mobile version and can't seem to text over WiFi when not connected to the cellular network. Any suggestions?

Yes. Your point being?

I am with T-mobile as well and seeing this often. I seem to encounter it more often when I have a weak WiFi connection if this helps.

I don't have T-Mobile, nor WiFi calling enabled, but if that's the case... try going to Settings -> WiFi Calling -> Menu and disable the WiFi Range Alert, see if this stops those messages.

Thanks, but the TMO variant does not have this option.

Alright, it has been a few days so I have a little more knowledge about the issue. It seems to occur more when my phone disconnects from the cellular network and reconnects. In addition to the voice service blocked message I'm also getting a data service blocked message.

That's probably because they weren't programmed to. I've been using Android phones since the OG Droid and this is the only one that has had a notification message to specifically state that I've lost reception but that doesn't mean the other phones always had reception. It just means I might not have noticed when they didn't. In other words, I really doubt this is any kind of problem with your phone. Just common dropped service that happens occasionally.

Getting this issue as well with all 3 of our LG G4 phones. T-Mobile swapped our SIM cards and within 30 minutes, I had the same issue. Is this causing any of you to have dropped calls and or people attempt to call you but your phone never rings, however you just get a voicemail notification? Because we are seeing that and some other little odd issues with calling.

I haven't linked the messages to any issues, and I have yet to have the SIM changed. But the messages are annoying to get.

Just recently I got a data service blocked message as well.

For me, they always come in pairs. Our T-Mobile service is good here. And the wireless is rock solid with all other devices.
I'm curious. Are people only getting this on wifi? And what is your network setup? Are you statically assigning your phone the same IP address?

So I've had both of these issues as well as problems with WiFi calling. I've tried working with TMO support which has resulted in nothing so far. I am about ready to take this one back and go back to HTC which is a shame because I really like the device when it works.

WiFi calling on T-Mobile

Unfortunately, there are not many settings on the phone's end other than on/off, WiFi preferred and cellular preferred.
What setting do you have your phone on?

Once I registered the phone with the network (Via: Settings>More>Cellular networks>Network operators) Wi-Fi calling got better.
It is kinda shifty because it will try to use the network even if the connection won't support a call.
Then again it could be the APN.

No trouble for me when testing it out.

I think you're onto something. My T-Mobile WiFi calling was working OK, but it would take up to 30 seconds to connect a call and other times WiFi calling would drop for no reason.
I did what you suggested, but WiFi calling was still goofy (didn't always work right). So, I did a reboot and now, WiFi calling is as fast as normal calling, I haven't seen any dropping of WiFi calling AND for the first time, I'm seeing the WiFi calling symbol on the call screen. Prior to that, it only said "WiFi calling" on my lock screen and the pull down under the signal icon.
Thanks for the tip!

It is kinda shifty because it will try to use the network even if the connection won't support a call.
Then again it could be the APN.

Here is it working with me forcing it to use Wi-Fi calling. Sending SMS and MMS works too.

Did you guys try a new sim?

I would have issues with after the call was connected fine and talking several minutes the other person couldn't hear me and then the call would just drop. I could hear them fine but they couldn't hear me at all. So I changed the
Wifi Call setting to Cellular Preferred. I'm going to try registering with network and rebooting and changing it back to Wifi Preferred and see if that improves the operation. Anyone seen that issue and did this resolve it?

The instructions seemed to work for me. So far, so good. I just had a wifi call and it didn't drop and the end user heard me ok. Thanks!

Crazy. I use Wi-Fi preferred and it takes a second to kick on. When it does it works pretty well.
However I do get a notification that I'm not connected to T-mobile (Even on Wi-Fi).

WiFi calling still will not switch over when I have no service. WiFi calling on this phone is very strange

Does airplane mode, then turn on Wi-Fi only allow T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling/SMS to work?

Yes it does. At least for me it does. It also does MMS. See some of my screenshots in previous pages. Airplane on and I am making calls as example of I working. Here's a screenshot of SMS and MMS over Wi-Fi. Probably would have been better taking video.

Yea that's not working for me either. When in airplane mode with WiFi on all calls fail. WiFi calling is on and WiFi preferred.

Don't know what to say as it works for me. Haven't had a problem yet.

I'm having issues with texting over WiFi. For some reason it has trouble sending mms and occasionally it fails to send even normal sms.

So I finally got WiFi calling in airplane mode to work. You have to turn on airplane mode then turn on WiFi and if you dont have WiFi calling working yet then try toggling WiFi calling in settings off then on. If that doesn't work reboot while in airplane mode. This should do the trick. Also I noticed that putting phone on WiFi calling will not automatically turn off cell signal. And if you decide to turn off airplane mode and back on again later then WiFi calling may not work again and all you should have to do then is toggle WiFi calling again.
I know some of this sounds like a pain but in places with very little service this can save your battery.

Thank you, hopefully future updates improve this.

Little wonky here also
Noticed it becomes disconnected just sitting on my desk 10 ft from the router. Wish it would turn off the cellular radio to preserve battery. Initially my tests using airplane mode were not working. Saw this thread and indeed it is working now.

Are there any APN settings or Tmo-Account settings needed to enable Wifi Calling? What about specific SIM versions? Let's make an actual list of requirements so that people can troubleshoot on their own.

I have the most current sim. Whatever the settings the phone has with the exception of iPv6 I changed that to IPv4/IPv6.
