Reset your router...that worked for me.

I've noticed the same thing, it seems like sometimes it just intermittently doesn't want to transfer. I have to refresh to get it to transfer. Guess I'll reset my router, but that doesn't seem like it helps much if I don't own the router wherever I'm at..

I think once the "home" router is reset, you'll be fine. As for the routers elsewhere, most places reset them periodically or are on a schedule...my home router has that feature.
Never reset mine as its in the neighbors house and I dont think theyd like me going in their house to reset their router. Long story short after awhile its working perfect now. So maybe just some patience is key.

Just done a wifi test with my Note 1. Yup, Note 2 is faster.

I've had a problem when on wifi certain apps won't work, YouTube, sometimes when downloading from Google play. I'm rooted and this happens on custom roms. Any advice or should I just unroot and try again. Thanks

Might be your rom. I haven't ever had this problem. Are you on your wifi at work? Maybe those sites are blocked by them. What rom and all that are you on

Well I can't remember the other rom but I'm on the cm10 right now. Only connected to wifi at home. Was thinking about redoing everything and see if that clears it up. Thanks for the help though never thought about certain things being blocked

Note this was removed in lh1 and newer firmwares. Even worse is that I had mine set to 2.4ghz only and that Is what was still set after flashing to lh1 which means without thus app I could never have gotten 5ghz to work.

Thanks for this gonna make a backup and try it out
Edit: I don't know if I switch it over to 5 ghz it doesn't connect to anything at all. The wifi on this phone totally blows that's about my only gripe I just use the mobile network cause I know out won't drop!
Question: is there any possible way to actually just increase the power of the wifi? Or does that need some kind of patch or something? It would be nice to use wifi when not sitting directly in front of the router

Yours maybe flawed, my first s3 had trouble connecting to wifi, swapped it for another and no more trouble. I can be outside at my truck in the street and connect to my wifi in the house on the second floor

So today at my highschool I got the password to their wifi. First thing I did was download some roms of from here and my friend has an iphone we both downloaded a file that is 300mb and his was about 2MB/s while mine was stuck at 100kbps/s. Any reason to this ? Any way to fix this?
What was your download source? Lots, but not all, file hosts throttle speeds way down.
You're better off using a speed test website (not an app) to compare to an iphone.

It was mediafire his iphone is jailbroken and he just downloads any file really fast.compared to me.

Also my wifi disconnects every while and his just stays on all day.

No problem wit the wifi speed on android.. May be he is using some app to increase the speed.. Try to chek the net speed next Tim.
I checked once again right now and he isnt using anything and still getting 2 to 3 mbps on download while im getting 100 to 200kbps
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
It may be your settings. In advanced wifi menu is it set to Always stay connected? If not it may turn off during deep sleep.
Also, I've heard of lots of corporate type networks (schools included) where android just didn't didn't work as well as other systems. I'm not sure why though. Its possibke that his is connecting using N standard and you're connecting using G....just a thought.
Try doing the same tests from your home or other open network and see if your results change. I consistantly get 15-20Mbps down and 3-4Mbps up with peaks up to 30 down 6 up. So I certainly wouldn't call it slow! (Mid signal btw).
I can get faster when I'm connected at 5Ghz, 40Mhz.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Those low speeds are not the norm. Try downloading something from another source. Your friend may have a mediafire account which will unthrottle the download speeds
Same at my home my bro has an ipod touch and I tested yesterday and got 200kbps - 300kbps on my s3 and he got 1.5mb im not using the speedtest app im just measuring how fast the downloads go. Is this an android problem because I have an evo 3d and the same thing happens as well

No issues for me. WiFi connects to our home n router and my schools WiFi no issues. Very fast at my school and same speed on my home router. Not to mention when browsing home computer files and downloading speeds reach to 5 megabytes a second. I'd say hardware issue. Not really sure what else it could be. Doc already said everything else

Running into the same issue. Assuming and hoping it is resolved in one of the new updates or a ROM from a dev.
It connects, and would work fine, then if I make a call or something, it would go in this dormant mode.
Dont want to sabotage your thread Abhi, but another issue with Wifi I am dealing with is that even though I have set Network discovery to Off, it would keep finding Wifi Networks to connect to. Got tired of pulling my hair the first couple days, so just turn wifi off when I leave home.
Yes hopefully it will be resolved in the new update and I have never experienced that. You might wanna check your wifi setting.

It seems like the S4 phones sure do have a lot of problems that people "hope" will be resolved with a magical OTA. Maybe it'll happen.
Anyway, I ran across this thread in the AT&T S4 forum, maybe it can help with the issue...if it works at all.

I spent days researching and trying to figure out how to fix my wifi problems. I found quite a few threads with people reporting wifi problems plaguing the Galaxy SIII as well so I used their solutions to solve my wifi problems with the S4. Here's my solution.
No issues here. Maybe because I'm using 5ghz n?
i was thinking i was the only one as i saw no mention of it;
but yes, my wifi is unusually slow.
my LTE speeds are WAY faster.
my ap is a Ubiquiti Power AP N.
my SIII and Nexus 4 would easily match my ISP max speed... 50 Megabit.
S4 ?
i get around 25, 26, 27 megabits.
hmm.

I'll try that next. It's a lot better than doing *#0011# every reboot.. I had some issues with 4G doing basically the same thing that it was with WIFI, but I lost the connection soon after; so maybe it was a bad area.

It doesn't work for me on 5GHz. Sorry, maybe it does. I need to test it more. My XDA app keeps crashing and I need to use a more reliable program to test the connection.
Eh, some of my other devices cannot even see the network; so this isn't a solution for me. I hope they actually fix this or maybe CM doesn't have this problem.
Have a DLink DIR-855. Connects on both 2.4 & 5, but cannot access internet beyond a few seconds. Tried all of the above solutions, but no luck. Funny enough, I have a DLink repeater/booster that I connect to without a hitch!??
S2, S3, GN2 work flawlessly on all connections...
I also have dlink and does this look weird

I turned off wifi power save and it still messes up. This is a huge headache turning on n off Wifi...
Anyone play with this on the Note 3 yet? I know a lot of us are having issues with WiFi connectivity, so this might be a decent tool to help. It does drain more battery though.
