Wireless drop-outs. - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I'm having an issue and I don't know what's at fault.
We recently upgraded our internet to BT infinity, with a line speed of 360mbps. Now, this is the best BT offer, and we get exactly that (FTTH.) Unfortunately, they sent out their God forsaken Home hub 3.
The problem I've been having, is that any speed over 30mbps download; causes my phone to disconnect and reconnect the WiFi.
Does anyone else have this issue? Or is it a router issue? (I'm thinking the latter, as they're shocking pieces of hardware.)
Ideas please people!

WiFi tethering... any solutions?

I couldnt find any solution on google except for ping command which sucks..
is there any other fix??
If Desire is unable to wifi tether i might sell it and buy a hero instead.. IM SERIOUS KID!
nexus one unavailable in scandinavia..
"Oh hi people, the radio in my ferarri doesnt work. Other than the known hack, is there any other ways to make it work? If not I might have to sell it and get a renault Clio so I can listen to the radio"
This is basically what you are saying.
Wifi tether doesnt work properly at the minute, and there are no other ways to make it work other than the ping method. Now, you can either wait a couples of weeks for it to be fixed and in the mean while enjoy the awesome phone that is the desire, or you can sell it for another phone that is on the verge of being outdated, just because you want one little feature.
At the end of the day, you are free to make the mistakes you want, but now you at least know that it is in fact a mistake.
Tether it with a usb cable
There's nothing wrong with a Renault clio

Serious WIFI & 4G issues PLEASE HELP GIVE INSIGHT

I really need some user commentary here as I have tried vigorously looking into my connectivity 'flimsy-ness' lately.
I have a GNex LTE version
this is fast...when it is fast.
However, wifi drops at times. and 4g if the reception is lost and reverts to 3g...it never goes back to 4g even in zones where it obviously exists, needing to be corrected manually.
It is very nerve wrecking. such an expensive phone to have such issues.
My question is, does anyone else have this? (im on 4.0.3)
should i return this and ask for a replacement? maybe this is defected.
Please help out as time is running out for a replacement at verizon
THANK YOU AND HAPPY NEW YEAR
I got hit by the Verizon outages and outside of that, I had some cell data connectivity issues twice. However, I have not had them since the last outage. (Also after changing ROMs both which are 4.0.2)
My father was visiting and got hit by what you describe and fixed it with a power cycle and hasn't said it occurred since.
How often does it occur for you?
To be on the safe side and so you don't miss your window, you may want to exchange.
A lot. The wifi is absolutely terrible. It does not stick. And turning the phone off with having put on the always on thru advance wifi settings it still turns off. I can not and will not risk it. Talked to Verizon made them express mail another gnex. I'd rather take my time and compare then go to the store and chuck this and receive another. One this is for sure. If the other one has the same problem. I will be very very sad. I love this phone (plus I have the unlimited plan..switched with my gf...and MAN Is it nice going over 10gb already)
I hope no one else has this problem. Really curious to know.

Mine is solid. Holds wifi, holds 4G. The problem you are talking about has been brought up by others. Look around on this forum and you'll see it has talked about. People have had luck swapping out for another and others haven't. Looks like there are simply some out there with issues and you got one. They do not all have this issue. There is an OTA update coming with 4.0.3 soon that MAY help. You might just want to swap it out. If you do, don't leave the store until you know it's working.

Same thing happening with my wifi dropping connection all the. Gmail and whatsapp messages are always late, bloody frustrating:-[
Update: just received a new gnex. In the mail. Can confirm within the first three minutes of using it......same problem. Unbelievable

I have had the same router for the last 2 years, my nexus S never has had any sort of drops on wifi like this.
This is without a doubt a serious problem. I will be now doing more thorough testings with the 4g reception followed by the 4g dropping to 3g and seeing if it ever reverts.
I pray to god this is a software issue. but to be honest...having had all nexus's (nexii?) i have never had a reception issue or had an update that improved it...so im sort of freaking out now
I'm having this issue as well. It will help if you change the wifi policy to stay on always. Hit menu inside the wifi options.
I had the same issues and returned mine. I hope it gets fixed, because I loved everything else about the phone and want it back, but not at the expense of poor data reception.
on a NEW one that was sent...SAME PROBLEM.
ALREADY HAVE THE ALWAYS ON POLICY.
....this is some scary S*$T!!!!
I have had wifi issues with specific routers. I have 2 Linksys wrt 54g with latest firmware which frequently do not connect despite having a strong signal. I have a router in the micasavrde home automation controller that connects fine, all with wpa2 security. The wifi at work at 2 different sites works fine, but I am not sure what routers are being used. I think this is mainly a software issue with certain routers and may be fixable. Maybe we need a thread documenting people's experience with routers with no issues and routers that have problems .

Ics wifi calling delay

Was the wifi calling delay supposed to be fixed since the ics update? I havent heard anything from anyone else lately but I am getting it, like BAD. I am less than 3 feet from my router and am getting at least a 7 second delay. Im on infamous 2.5.1 and my wife has the same issue on her fully stock s2. I called tmo about it and they said theyve never heard of the problem (yeah right). Am I the only one with this issue now or have people just shut up about it?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
i actually had this happen to me yesterday. my room is like 5 feet away from the router and i had like a 5 second delay when i spoke to my gf at work. i hung up turned off wifi then called with regular network. Ive used wifi calling again and the delay hasnt happend again....yet... only once so far.
I am stock GB and have perfect wifi calling with no delay. I jumped to the gs2 because I had that issue with my amaze 4g. No plans on jumping to ICS because of this issue
Glad to hear im not he only one. Hanging up and trying again fixed it for me too. I was just hoping this was gonna be fixed in ICS >:-(

I've noticed it as well, it's about a 5 second delay from talking to the other person hearing it. Rebooting the phone, and being on different wifi networks does not seem to help. very annoying.

Wifi Calling Hit or Miss?

Hey everyone, I have a question about T-Mobile Wifi Calling feature. When it works, it is really great but sometimes when I answer the phone either I can't hear them or the caller can't hear me but I can hear them. My Wifi signal is really good but why does this happen? It seems like a pretty common problem and when I searched for solution, there were many but none that really works 100%.
Is there any remedy for this issue?
Yea I have the same exact problem. It's really annoying.
I'm seeing the same issues myself. Hopefully the update with multi-window will address this. I remember my Wifi calling being much more reliable on my Galaxy S from 2 years ago.

Agreed. and wifi calling on my wife's Sensation works flawlessly all the time. Sad thing is I absolutely need it at home. no cell coverage at all.
my s3 and my n2 used to do that but I have the dual router and when I switched from G to N signal the issue was solved.

I've got a Netgear N router that is only a few months old. Still have issues
=( that's pretty disappointing, I guess we all have to wait till T-Mobile fixes it. I was really depending on this feature since I get no service indoor. I can't help but to feel regret switching from ATT...

I have Cisco E3000 and I used the 5Ghz band.
Am I suppose to set the router certain way to get this working 100%? I went to T Mobile store today and I only made fool out myself. When it was connected to store Wifi, I just couldn't recreate the issue but as soon as I get home it goes all wrong!

Have you logged into your tmo account online and set your 911 address? This seems to have made a huge improvement for my wife's phone but also somewhat on mine from the looks of it. Still not 100% but at least it works most of the time.

yeah, i had to put my address there first to get the Wifi-Calling feature going. Doesn't seem to be much of different on my part though
So many problems with Wifi-Calling feature...
- One way Audio (either caller can't hear me or I can't hear them)
- Text/MMS not coming in or out
- Phone Calls doesn't go through, phone doesn't even ring... when it does ring and I pick up, phone freezes at the answering screen!
WTF! so unreliable... what a mistake switching to T-Mobile was. AT&T was over charging the heck out of me but at least I had no service problems, I'm not sure if cheaper plan is worth going through this.

Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769716
for some reason my wife's s3 has the same IP as my HP wireless printer.
Was having the same problems on my N2. I've since switched to the N band, but I haven't re-enabled WiFi calling as I am a bit gunshy, especially since I am taking a lot of job calls at the moment.

Thanks but after checking, it's definitely not conflicting with any IP. Only thing that's connected to my comcast modem is my pc and my Note 2. =(
I see hundreds of posts and threads regarding to this wifi calling issue on t-mobile support website... I can't believe they haven't fixed it.

i have the same problem..
WIFI calling is truely a hit or miss... sometimes it works great and other times nobody can call me .. they go right to voicemail.
I really hope they figure this out ... wifi calling is soo important to have.
Only real solution is to turn off the Wi-Fi calling feature for now. It's pretty much a hit or miss if it will work on a daily basis.

Yeah, seriously.... The saddest part is every tmobile tech support I get in touch with, they seem to have no clue what so ever with this issue. How do we let tmobile know about this? There are plenty of threads at tmobile support forum but I don't see tmobile doing anything about it! It pisses me off!

The problem is that this may be a Samsung phone problem, so nothing a tmobile tech can help you with currently. As others have mentioned, using older phones or other brand of smartphones seems to work with Wi-Fi calling. Most problems were reported from using a Samsung Galaxy s3/Galaxy note 2.

[Q] Wifi Calling Delay

Good afternoon everyone. I recently started using wifi calling with on my G3. When Im speaking with someone there is a very noticeable delay from when I speak and the other person hears what I say. I went ahead and got one of the T-Mobile Cellspot routers hoping it might fix the problem, but it continues. Other phones in the home (Galaxy S5, iPhone 5S, and Galaxy Avant) do not have this same problem. Has anyone else experienced this and/or does anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks in advance,
John
Same here and worst sometimes after pickup a call i hear nothing and they can hear me either

Ah man, thats rough. I had to turn off wifi calling because of the delay. It makes conversations way to difficult. Its too bad cause I love that feature. It works perfectly on other phones in the house which is the most frustrating thing about it.
