[Q] Push notifications delayed on WIFI

I've seen a few similar threads to the one I'm about to make. I've tried different suggestions which I will post here. Yet, none of them seems to work and I'm curious to see if anyone of you has a fix for my problem. My phone is an unbranded international HOX using the 9.7.2 ARHD rom by Mike1986. Here we go:
Problem
While being on WIFI my push notifications aren't coming through in time. There's a delay from anywhere between a few minutes up to as much as 40+ minutes. The phone doesn't have this issue being on the mobile data network. I'm also not 100% sure if the delay is still there when I'm on an different router. Even when I turn on the screen again, the messages seem to come in randomly.
Settings
WIFI best performance enabled
Static IP by router
WIFI sleep policy: Wifi always on
Tried suggestions
Wakelock: One thread described using an app called REGPON keep-alive, which installs a wakelock onto the phone to keep the data connection alive. This app did not do the trick. It only drained my battery and the messages still didn't come through.
Wifi performance: Set the phone to maximum wifi performance. This seemed to work for a while but ended up not working proper either
Kernel: Try a different kernel was one suggestion. I've switched from Stock to Faux123 010 kernel. This didn't change anything about the WIFI problem.
Static IP + Portforwarding + Disabling router Firewall: I've tried both port forwarding on port 5228 and even the range 5224-5228. I've also tried setting up triggered ranges. Maybe I'm doing something wrong on this part though. The router firewall is disabled and it should no longer block anonymous WAN packages.
Disable SmartSync: With the Suite Tools that are included in Mike1986's rom I've disabled Smartsync. No results as far as the wifi problem goes.
Probing app: I've tried an app that supposedly probes my router at least every minute in order to keep the connection alive.
Switching between b/g/n network: Didn't make a difference. The signal quality of the router is also good.
The only thing that did work for extended periods of time was using this remote control app that allows me to type through my PC keyboard, where the text ended up on the phone. I've also got an app installed to test push notifications. It's capable of making a log. Maybe that'll give you guys more information.
Right now I'm not sure if it's an issue with the HOX or if my router somehow stops the traffic. I don't recall having this problem on my HTC Desire. Does anyone have anymore tips?
Thanks,
Zendio

No problem with Gmail push notification on Stock 2.17.401.2.
Yesterday I still was on ARHD 9.7.2, also there I never noticed any delay.
Edit: this complies to various wifi networks (@home, @office, @parents etc.)

I am so sorry to hear you are affected by this problem, but also happy someone else is experiencing the exact same thing as I am !!!
I have tried different solutions to no avail.
Would love to hear something on this topic !!

Also I should note, I don't have any kind of task killer installed.
In general use WIFI feels really fluid and responsive. I really have no idea what could cause these problems.

I hope so. My One S is experiencing the same thing. I've tried everything above. No luck. Some stuff is fairly critical that I get it as soon as it comes in. I might try getting ahold of a Nexus 4 and do some testing with its wifi, just to make sure it isn't a general Android problem.

What router do you have? My issue was any android device in the house. Turned out it was my router, I put a custom firmware on it and all my trouble have gone away. My friend has the WiFi issue on a virgin media superhub.

I have an Asus RT-N66U. Funny you should suggest that. I'd planned to throw Tomato on it tonight and see how that works out. I did some tests at my folks' and their router had the same results. It's some cheap Netgear thing. Not sure of the model at the mo. I'll post back with results. If not tonight, tomorrow some time.

No go
Well that was unsuccessful. Actually it slowed things down. With the default firmware I get notifications from the instant I press power to wake up my phone. With Tomato there was a second or so before I got them.
Time to try DD-WRT tonight to see if that does the same thing.

I have an rt-n56u so the older version of yours and I'm running the Asus wrt that is being made, its fixed all my problems and is awesome tbh.

Set Beacon mode power safe (BMPS) to 0 in WiFi ???.ini config file should resolve this problem.
Such ???.ini config file usually placed under /system/etc/wifi or /system/etc/firmware/wlan/prima/

[Q] losing wifi connectivity- full bars but all gray

so, I've read around here on the XDA forum about problems with wifi connectivity where we have full bars for wifi but they are gray and you are not getting out. many describe my situation but I've not seen any real solutions...
my problem is that I can connect to my wifi router without issue but then a random amount of time later, sometimes fairly quickly and sometimes it's hours later, I will pick up the phone and see full bars but they are gray and I'm not getting out. I can try opening a terminal window and pinging the gateway/dns servers and can't even reach the gateway.
things I have tried:
- turned off MAC filtering on the wifi AP
- switched from a 5 GHZ wifi on the AP to 2.4 GHZ net on the AP and vice versa
- manually set the phone wifi preference to one or the other (5 or 2.4)
- battery pull on the phone
- delete network settings for my AP and reconfigure
I have not yet tried a static IP config on the phone but I can easily try that... {edited to add} well, I tried static config and that didn't help at all...
one other tidbit of info, I have a work Blackberry with wifi and it never loses wifi connectivity so this is a problem unique to my Nexus.
I'm running Cyanogen 10.0.0-toro and no, I haven't tried a full wipe and reload yet.
thoughts or suggestions?

I'm not trying to threadjack here, but I just wanted to share my experiences.
I've been have the exact same thing happen to my phone (Nexus maguro). I've tried every JB rom I could find, several different kernels and my wifi eventually always goes grey on me. All network activities stop. I'm back on stock everything right now and it still happens.
It happens on my home wifi as well as work wifi.
I'm about to puttstock ICS on my phone and try that out for a couple days.
Anyway, good luck with your problems, i'm going to follow this thread in hopes you'll get a solution that may help me.
If I do figure anything out i'll post back.

seems that this is a topic that has been posted on a bit over time with no real single culprit or fix. I'll post back if I figure anything out... I know in the Cyanogen thread, I saw info that stated that the MAC address of the phone was changing and I'm going to try and determine if that is happening to mine.

I have the same issue. Sometimes even when i pick up the phone, if i look fast enough i see that the Wi-Fi bars weren't even there! Thats only 1 out of 5 times though. The other time its usually just grey bars. Sometimes it actually will click back and they'll flash to blue and grey 2-3 times and then go solid blue. Then sometimes like you, they'll stay grey. I've tried everything too...reverting to stock, Different kernels, ROMs, routers, static IP, 2.4 or 5ghz, full auto mode. The only fix that makes it a little more reliable, is using Wi-Fi PM Fast. But even that, is not reliable. I'd say its about 50% reliable then, for a huge sacrfice in battery life. For me i've noticed this started to happen with 4.2. Before that i never had a problem. All other devices though no problem. My Nexus 7 is just fine. But the galaxy nexus, no matter what router or where i am, the Wi-Fi is totally unreliable. For me, it happens within 2 minutes that it will disconnect most times. Then 1 in 10 times it'll be fine for 10 hours.
In all honesty, i've given up. Just come to deal with it. Use mobile networks when i'm not needing to download. I can download files and stream music just fine too. If there is traffic going through, it never disconnects. But when its just sitting there without traffic, it disconnects, or, loses connection to google servers i should say.

well that's not good to hear...

I installed stock 4.0.4 a couple days ago and have not had my wifi go grey on me yet.

yeah, I love Cyanogen so not willing to go back to stock... waiting for them to finish 10.1 and I guess I'll see how it behaves then.

Hi all,
Just to say that I have the same problem. I have been upgraded from ICS to 4.2 and nothing had happened but I had to downgrade to 4.1.1 (AOKP Build 4) due to other issues and after that I started notice the WiFi problem.
At first I thought it was when the screen went off, but I has happened with screen on too. I have to turn WiFi off and the back on to connect properly again, very annoying.
As I said I started noticing this after I downgraded, but then again, I had used AOKP 4.1.1 before without this issue. I think that it is time to change my phone :/

I'm on Muzzy 4.2.2 and I'm currently having the same problem. It's not a new problem since I remember having it months ago (disabled my phone's WiFi because I kept missing emails and other notifications - grew tired of dealing with it). I thought it was my router, so I swapped it with a newer one recently, but it carried forward (old router was TRENDnet Draft N and the new one is ASUS RT-N66U).
I would like to know how to properly troubleshoot this problem.

I'm glad I didnt have to create a thread for this. I have been facing this problem quite a lot. I can confirm that WiFi works absolutely fine until 4.1.2, whether it is stock or CM10 (I havent tried the other ROMs yet). I have faced this problem only from 4.2. It still exists on 4.2.2. Happens on all the ROMs I have tried till now including CM10.1 nightly as well as the stock factory image.
When the phone is sleeping, it seems to lose WiFi connectivity and when woken up, the WiFi bars is grey though it is full. If I am very lucky, it will turn blue automatically. Most of the times, I have to switch WiFi off and back on for it to connect properly.
Anyone knows the root cause for this? In case this has been discussed in any other thread?

have you posted this information over in any of the threads where the developers are working such as Cyanogen in an effort to bring this issue to the forefront for more visibility?

I have had those wifi problems with every android version and rom I had on my GNex as far as I can remember.
Sometimes it will be able to reconnect but sometimes I have to disable and re-enable wifi to get it back.
I too thought that it might have been my crappy router as I have had multiple problems with it over the years (some Linksys router).
This is really annoying because it won't receive any e-mails until I randomly decide to have a look at my phone. :/

trust me, I understand your frustration... some days, I can go almost all day without loosing wifi data throughput and other days it won't last 10 minutes without going to gray bars.
unfortunately, no one is sharing any fixes which tells me that no one has a good handle on the problem.

Same issue for me on stock Android 4.2.2. Leave WiFi on overnight and when I wake up its connected to WiFi but gray bars...

The update to 4.2.2 drivers have fixed all WiFi issues for me. For the first time since 4.1 I can now use WiFi optimization now. And WiFi is fully reliable.

same thing happened to me on toroplus sourcery 5.1, after trying everything i could think of and talking to one of the devs, i finally did a fresh download of rom and gapps. wiped cache,wiped dalvik, factory reset, wipe system, deleted android folder off of storage then installed the fresh download of rom and gapps and its been working great for me since. hope this helps.

i just know ever since moving to a 4.2.2 kernel that has the 4.2.2 drivers my wifi has been stable. I know there was a post in the anarkia thread with the ak kernel that had the drivers. but i believe most any 4.2.2 kernel would have them implemented. i do have the newest bootloader and radio too. but i know as soon add i got the 4.2.2 drivers all issues were resolved wifi wise. of course i think if you have a 4.2.2 kennel you'll have them.

I'm looking forward to that update - I've been watching the Cyanogen threads for when I think the 10.1 has matured enough to become my daily driver... good to know you've had positive results!

it worked for me !! :good:

[Q] Another wifi bug thread, I've tried everything possible.

Hi!
I know there are plenty of threads about the wifi on this phone, I've read every one of them, posted in many places and have had no good outcome.
Here is my (lengthy) story.
Had annoying wifi bugs on stock 4.1.2, seemingly general lack of interest from the phone in connecting to wifi, but would generally connect after a reboot of both modem+phone+ disabling PSM (even then, not always )
6 months on stock go by, thought flashing a custom rom would fix everything and all would be well again, so I flashed PA.
An even more annoying bug showed up,
Turn wifi on > doesn't automatically connect, so I manually go to the wifi settings page and try connecting.
Before trying to connect - Full signal.
While trying to connect - Goes down to one bar while connecting > fails > then goes back to full signal.
Does occasionally connect, but it's rare. Rebooting both phone and the modem does nothing at all, seems to have a mood of it's own.
It's not just my wifi, but wifi at college too, other devices connect to the same access point just fine.
What would fix this? Will pretty much try most things now,I tried flashing NEAK too.
I don't have a data plan either, so my phone is basically useless without wifi, I've resigned to using my laptop all the time.
Thank you for reading this so far, I'd be thankful for ANY advice.
TL;DR :- Annoying wfi bug, tried every 'solution' I've heard of, nothing worked, never buying a Samsung again :crying:
(Attached images of the phenomenon)
UPDATE:- Just like stock, it will only connect if I am a foot away from the router, irrespective of how much signal I have. Even if I have a full signal elsewhere, it won't connect

dude u r running AOSP :silly::silly:
try TW Rom and see if the problem exists

We meet again!
Like mentioned in the post, the only reason I flashed an aosp based ROM was in the desperate hope it'd rid the phone of its WiFi problem.
Thought a custom ROM would do what Samsung refuses to do.
Hope someone has a valid solution for this.

Anyone?
I forgot I already had the range issue for quite a while, even on stock.
I had tried everything, including static IP, wps, and whatever else was stated to work.
Does anyone know of a working solution to this? Is this a hardware/software issue?

One X Wifi Problems After 4.2.2 Update

Hello, i know this has been discussed here before, but i wanted to ask for help anyway. My Wifi was working perfectly fine on Android 4.1, but after this update to 4.2.2 its really bad.
I know its software issue, pressing right top corner of my HOX doesnt help at all. I tried factory reset, but it didnt help. I´m running official ROM and no root. The problem is that sometimes when i have full signal strenght, the wifi speed is still horrible (like 0.5mb on 10mb wifi).
Any suggestions what to try? Thanks a lot

I have exactly the same problem. All HTC customer service suggested was factory reset, tried that and no difference. On 4.1 it worked fine on my wifi at home throughout the house, now on 4.2, works ok downstairs but useless upstairs even when it says I have 4 bars of signal. Very one times flaky though and sometimes drops to 1 or none. This is a disaster as I understand there is no way to roll back to 4.1. This is unbelievable!! How can an official update totally break basic functionality with no way back!? Searched all over Internet to find a solution and no luck, even though a fair few people seem ro have this problem. Is not a hardware problem, as OP, squeezing top right makes no difference. Have tried static IP, doesn't help. Desperate for help, can any wise heads on here suggest anything? Thanks!
So wish I had not updated, it worked brilliantly before.

Same situation here after the update... With full signal keep having horrible Wifi speed... :'(

Do you have the same problem 4play975? Seems quite a few people do..! As per OP my phone is not rooted and don't want to root it really.
Any chance anyone can suggest any other solutions to try?
Failing that, some details on what Richmondos fix is would be useful!!

Yeah, I really dont want to root my phone too, because i have warranty for more than 1 year now and I will sell the phone in future, so I dont wanna risk loosing warranty..

I also have similar problem! But it varies, sometimes it's bad and sometimes not??? Phone is stock and locked and don't want to unlock and install custom stuf, until warranty period is over.

Hello to all
I have the same wi-fi problem on my HTC One X since I made the update.
Is there any way to solve this?I hope so, because Wi-Fi signal is very bad, and I use it a lot of time.
I have CWM recovery installed,bootloader unlocked, and s-on, recently I have rooted my phone,
but at this moment is not.
I dont care installing new kernel, radio,etc........I just want to solve this problem :crying:
Tanks to all

I have a problem with my wifi too since the Andriod 4.2.2 and Sense 5 update, but it seems to be a bit different from yours. The speedtest.net app and the ping & DNS app give the same results as my PC that is hard wired to the router, so speed and ping seem to be fine.
But I get errors like Connection Problem Authentication via the proxy server was unsuccessful - but I don't use a proxy server. In the HOX wifi settings for that router the Proxy settings are Manual, Proxy hostname 127.0.0.1 and proxy port 3128. Are these correct for when there is no proxy? If switch from Manual to None and go back in then it has gone back to those settings.
Another error is Connection Problem this page contains too many server redirects. But the page displays fine if I switch to mobile data.
Or I get Connection Problem there was a network error. Again it works fine on mobile data.
Then there are some webpages that give a 404 page cannot be found error. Again it works fine on mobile data.
Some of these problems are repeatable on the same webpages across different routers in different buildings.
Sometimes when connecting to a router the HOX connects and the loses the connection and then reconnects up to 10 times before settling on the connection.
Like you I would rather not root etc if possible.

So, noone know a solution for users without root? I found out that on some wifi (in school), it works quite fine even on worse signal. But before update, it was ok on every wifi..

Hi
i have the same problem with my wlan connection. Nearly 100kb/s.
I had tested my internet download speed on my computer and takes interesting information:
my internet connection is 70MBit, this means i can download with nearly 8,2 MB/s.
If my HOX is not connected to the router, the whole downloadspeed is available on the computer. But if the HOX is connected, the downloadspeed is only 1 MB/s.
After disconnecting and rebooting the router, the internet connection is as well as before.
Does anyone makes the experiences?
regards
Daniel

I don't have the speed problems, Speedtest.net app gives the same results on my HOX as my PC.
One of my wifi problems is to do with the Wi-fi connecting to a weak signal instead of the stronger one - I have worked around this by installing WiFi Fixer App which works well at switching to the stronger signal.
Also there are some websites that give errors like Server Error too Many Redirects (for example http://www.thefreedictionary.com/ does that for me) or 404 Error - Page Cannot be Found (http://fahrbot.co.uk/) or are sometimes slow to load - I have found that these issues don't happen with the Opera Mini app, so why does the stock browser give these problems when on wifi, but not on mobile data?
Another one is that if I click a link in a webpage (or type in a URL) that takes me to a webpage that has a mobile version as well as the desktop version I get a strange URL that doesn't work. For example on mobile data typing in www.abmobileapps.com takes me to the mobile version of the website, but on wifi the URL automatically changes to http://www.abmobileapps.comhttp/www.abmobileapps.com/ and the page cannot be found. Again it works in mini Opera on wifi.

WIFI FIX
if you use rooted device, use lyapota mods and flash modpack http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2114584 (contin wififix and other).
for me works great :highfive: (my router has openwrt)

I found out that on some other wifis speed works just fine. I have router D-Link DIR-600 with stronger antenna than it was stock. I use WPA2 security and Dynamic IP.
Is there anything what I should try to fix it? Thanks for any suggestions.

Here are some advices how to fix the WiFi issues - router dependent (need access to the router setup):
1. Make sure that you are not using channel 11-13
2. Disable "WMM Support" in router Wireless -> Advanced Settings. Note: this will force G-only speed (54Mb)
3. You you want to keep the N speed, put your phone in the highest possible QoS priority without disabling the "WMM Support"
Hope this helps

Thanks for the tips...
So, we will change WMM settings for all wifi modems that we connect...
Shame on you HTC...Next time I will ignore HTC while buying a new mobile phone...

after flashing lyopotas mod pack my hox'S wifi seems to work again like it's supposed
maybe it helps

After update,
i can't use my home wifi (Innacomm),using other wifi okay.
conneted but can't surf internet (error 404) but can only use opera mini (very very very slow).
Using other device no problem with the wifi..anyone can help me? TQ :crying:

The problems I am having with proxy and 404 errors are all caused by the Web Protection feature in Kaspersky Internet Security for Android since the OTA to Android 4.2.2 (it worked fine previously). I have installed the latest KIS 11.1.4.141 from the Kaspersky website (because Google Play says it is up to date at version 11.1.3) but the problem still occurs. So I have turned off Web Protection in KIS and all my issues have been cleared up.

Nexus 5x wifi issues

Stock 6.0.1 mtc19v, on T-Mobile, july security update, never rooted this handset
I decided to start my own thread because I didn't want to hijack another's.
So here's the problem. Had my 5x for 3 days. And I love it, but it has weird wifi issues. I can't watch YouTube while I'm on wifi but it starts up with no issues while on LTE. Downloading apps and their updates take up to 20 minutes. While it's instant on LTE. Wifi calling is super choppy too. And my 5x occasionally disconnects too.
Everything else works fine on wifi. Chrome is quick, so is feedly.
So I searched here and on Google and many people have the same issue. Some say 6.0.1 was bugged.
Either way I tried all the advice given to others. My router and modem are up do date. I reset them various times. The problem can be replicated on my sister's wifi and my dad's.
Check my phone's APN. Changed to 2.4 and 5ghz bands on the phone. Went back to auto wifi band. Nothing.
Tried safe mode. No dice.
I even wiped. No luck either.
I also tried wiping the data and cache on a few apps, play store being one of them. Can't remember the other two.
Anything else I'm missing or is 6.0.1 really bugged?
Is there a possibility mtc19z has a fix? I haven't received that update yet.

Forgot to mention
I called Nexus tech support. They say it's not a known issue. Project fi's tech support said the same thing.

Try with bluetooth turned on, doesn't need to be connected to anything.
Also try enabling developer options enable the setting to use lollipop dhcp client.

OK I'll give it a shot

OK so far, Bluetooth on does nothing for me. Apps still download slow and wifi calling does nothing.
I'll try the lollipop dhcp tomorrow, with Bluetooth on and off. I'll report then.
Thanks for your advice.

Hi man, the lollipop dhcp didn't work. Tried it with Bluetooth on and off

Last option I can think off.
settings/backup & reset/network settings reset.
After that I would try doing a clean flash with the latest stock image, no apps etc and see what happens.
If that doesn't work I would return it for a new one.

Tried that too. I'm stock never rooted. I've wiped twice already. Nexus support is barely any help. But yeah I'll try for a swap. Thanks.

Well project Fi couldn't help since I don't have their services. LG keeps telling me to call Nexus. Nexus keeps transferring me to project Fi.
I'm just gonna go buy another phone. This hassle isn't worth it.

You should be able to get a new one under warranty from where you brought it.

Yeah I know. Tell them that lol.
I've always loved Nexus phones because of what they represent. But the customer service needs work.

My N5X has not had any wifi issues, thankfully, but I have had weird wifi issues on other android phones in the past. What has worked for me was to go into my router's settings and use DHCP Reservation to assign a specific IP address to the phone, and to make sure there were no conflicts in the IP assignments of various devices on the network. I also replaced the router's default DNS servers with Google's.
Those two steps have solved my android-related wifi issues in the past. But, again, I haven't had any issues with the N5X so this may or may not help you.

I already tried the DNS change but I'll give the dhcp reservation a shot. Thanks.

Try ping and traceroute to confirm where in the path the problem is:

Nexus 5x wifi + Bluetooth.
So couple of years i use it without bluetooth turned on. With some wifi access points phone can't get in deep sleep. Some other access points sending packets to phone.
One day a read about bluetooth "on" options. And surprise, now phone can go deep sleep and dose not have battery drain.
Now i have to keep my bluetooth always on. Was same for android 6,7,8,8.1. with factory reseted.. different kernels dos not help.
Maybe some heard - it is hardware issue? Its go under warranty?
