[Q] Possible wifi issue? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hi,
I am wondering if it is normal that wifi speeds slow down after a certain time. My wifi at home can reach up to 22 Mbps down and say in a couple hours for example it would drop to 10 Mbps. Immediately I would restart my phone and it would be back up to normal speeds of 20ish Mbps. I do multiple back to back tests on speedtest.net app and my wired connections and other wireless devices are consistent.
My wifi does not disconnect and it has no problems connecting to other souces. At work i have the same wifi issues.
I have a Canadian Rogers Note 2. I am rooted and flashed to cleamrom 4.0.5, fully wiped and reset before flash with twrp. I have tried turning off power saving mode during the slow wifi transmissions and still have this issue,
I am lost as to what to do. Any advice would be appreciated.

Yes this is for me as well I have been on clean rom and now stock and it continues to do the same not a huge deal but I just noticed it last night im on mediacom if thats any help

In the meantime I have installed My Data Manager to see if there is any unknown wifi data transmitting while this problem is happening. When I had the phone bone stock I really did not monitor this issue.

I use the international rom and I notice YouTube buffers longer than it should than it chops shortly after. I just tried recycling wifi and now it's snappy again.question now is how long it will last

Thats what I am trying to figure out. I am not sure what causes it in the first place.

Agreed very weird and I ahve tried alot

I notice link speed drops to about 5mb when directly infront of AP

I have been playing with this issue for a few days now. I can sort of recreate this by leaving the wifi range and entering. This will create that speed drop I described in my first post. By turning on and off the wifi toggle resolves this.
While using My Data Manager it shows no mystery wifi or data transfer in the backgound. Everything checks out in that aspect.

I did not notice a drop when infront of the AP.

I'm running stock Att and started having slow wifi speed after the 4.1.2 update. Toggling the wifi fixes the issue but it slows down again eventually.

Sorry. Double post

yeah this blows. I don't know where the fault is. Running cleanrom 4.0.5 with its kernal. I don't believe I have really modified anything other than flashing the rom and a few zips here or there.
Normally it isn't a big deal but it really seemed to cause issues when syncing for the first time with dropbox yesterday. I had to keep restarting wifi. I think part of that was dropbox but 4 gb took literally hours to get done
I don't know if it happens on cleanrom 4.2.5

I am on CleanROM 4.5 right now and it behaves the same way. I did read on another thread that there is a possible fix by replacing the 'wifi' folder with the one from Android 4.1.1.
Here is the whole thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956155&highlight=wifi+problem
I have performed the suggested fix and will monitor the issue when I go about my daily routines.

Any new info on whether your idea worked? I'm experiencing the same thing you guys are.

CM10 bugs....how to downgrade to ICS

I installed the cm10 rom about 2 weeks ago. I love jelly bean and cm10 dont get me wrong but i have been noticing that i can not send picture messages when connected to 3g or wifi (i have to reboot the phone everytime i want to send a picture) also my 3g would randomly disappear (it disconnects without showing that its disconnected). I have to put the phone on airplane mode and then reconnect to 3g. Just a few days ago my s3 stopped letting me use the wifi at my job (it said trying to avoid poor signal or something like that). The wifi signal at my job is very strong and i went into the wifi settings and disable the "avoid poor signal" feature. Still it wouldnt connect but it connects to the wifi at my house. I just want to know if im the only person experiencing this. Also how would i be able to switch back to ics from jb? Is it a quick process? Can it be done str8 from my phone without using my computer? Can i do it using mobile odin? If odin is needed?

Going back to ics is as simple as wiping the normal things, then flashing a ics based rom.

So, now that you're back on ICS, you should give CM10 another try. That build was like 2 months old. Those bugs you were talking about have been squashed. Pretty stable at this point.

Sporadically losing data

Is anyone else having the issue of data cutting in and Out? If I reboot the phone data works fine for a while.

I've experienced this also mostly when driving around town, lte is pretty new in Denver so I think it's a problem switching from lte to hspa and vise versa. Resetting seems to do the trick for me to tho

I've had this happen to me several times. Fixed it a couple of times by toggling airplane mode, but had to reboot once to fix it... frustrating.

Check that.
I found something saying AT&T Smart Wi-Fi was the problem.. I disabled that and haven't had a single issue since. I started noticing the issue after a recent update, and I think AT&T Smart Wi-Fi was pushed during that.
I dont have that installed. Debloated with tb
That's weird. I'm on stock ROM and just started noticing that. I'm probably not much help, I'm a recent convert to Android. What is TB? Do you have to be rooted for TB?
Titanium backup. Yes root required to debloat

[Q] phone turns itself off

has anyone experienced their phone turning itself off, and the only way to turn it on is to pull the battery and restart it?
Never heard of that..at least on our note. I have experienced a weird rabdom reboot. Not sure of the relevance between the two but still falls under the weird category. Some say avast security causes these things...
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
I dont have avast installed. I have had the phome for about 10 days and it has happened about 5 times. the only thing that I have noticed that is it happens when I look at my phone after I get out of my car which makes me think it might have something to do with bluetooth because I have uconnect in my car. I am running stock rooted ljc and have already tried a fresh install and it still happens.
Ive had the exact same problem on stock LJC when I leave my car having used the phone with Bluetooth. The led is usually flashing and the screen is stuck off until a batter pull.
I have not noticed any other lock ups like this otherwise when not using BT. Ive had the phone 2 months.

I have had this happen twice this week but chalked it up to being a custom kernel issue....it happened in the same exact location each time...while streaming pandora in the car....in a spot undergoing network vision upgrades. I will have to test it further

I know that there were some bluetooth fixes in lk8 I wonder if that was one of them. I cant run it cuz I need my wifi to work all the time. maybe it was adressed in ma5. does anyone running either of those builds have an issue like this?
I've ran lk8 on stock deodex and ma5 and haven't had any problems with wifi. But I only use it on my home network.

What kernel?
I was getting rogue restarts/shutdowns in calls on some of the Perseus kernels. Alpha29 IIRC.

I am on the stock kernel. only things different from stock out of the box are root, and I installed twrp from that goo app from the play store.
Update....
After running ma5 for the last 3 days I have not had this issue any more. If anyone is still having this issue I would recommend to flash ma5.
That's good news. Are you using just the updated modem firmware or an entire rom of MA5?

The entire rom.
Before the rom was available I flashed just the modem and still had the issue, but since ive been on the full rom it hasnt happened.
I guess I will update as well...I flashed the new modem and latest perseus kernel and have not had the shut off issue in the location it was previoisly occuring at.

I did the rooted no data oc and I was getting wakelocks from bluetooth share. I un paired and then repaired the phone with my car and the wakelocks went away. Just a heads up.
Hmmmmmm.... never had that happen to me. I am a power user too. I can drain the battery in 5 hours if I try hard.

AOSP 4.3 discussion

What are things you've noticed so far in the alpha/beta builds of Android 4.3?
As of 8/10,
- (Cosmetic) I like the addition to the LTE signal. On cm10.2, the 4G icon has been replaced by "LTE". (Does not apply to SlimRom.)
- Device appears to be much, much smoother and consistent.
- AOSP keyboard no longer opens a window to save a word to the dictionary. It just does it once you hit save. (This one is a big plus for me.)
- LTE, while speeds haven't necessarily matched my Touchwiz experience, I can safely state that LTE, even with slower speeds than Touchwiz is loading pictures/videos a lot faster. It's much more noticeable how LTE connectivity has improved when going to a 4.3 rom on this device.
- Required to enable root via developer settings prior to using any application that requires root access. (This is a security feature but for someone that flashes ROMs on nearly a daily basis, it can become a bit tedious since it's just an extra step.)

Things are loading faster on LTE even with slower speeds? Interesting! Is your ping lower or something? I need to try a 4.3 ROM tonight.

Speedtest results yield ~10mbps in most instances but the overall browsing experience is much smoother. Perhaps something with the routing and such.

After two hours and 36 minutes of screen time, I'm at 89%. Been on 4G LTE the entire time.
Edit: I do have a 3000 mAh battery, though!
Battery has been great on slim it's also noticeably faster than 4.2 ... Camera is buggy as !-!311, that's really the only thing wrong with it though... My friend did just send me a file to flash to fix the camera, haven't flashed it yet so idk if it'll work or not

Really digging the aosp implementation of dialer completion. It's spot on! CM10.2 feels noticeable quicker than CM10.1. That's just from my p.o.v. though.

4.3 is running pretty smooth. Had it running about a week and really only issues are the damn camera... but that's not too big of a deal. I rarely use it anyway.

Is camera still buggy? what exactly is buggy about it? I havent tried an AOSP rom in like 6-8 months because first time I flased one my sd card got corrupt. I believe it is formatted correctly to where IT wont happen now and thinking about finally making the switch since touchwiz development has kind of slowed down recently and im starting to get bored. Main thing keeping me on touchwiz was the camera. I take a lot of pictures. Are there any other issues that would keep me from using an AOSP ROM as a daily driver? Bluetooth issues,random reboots,freezes ect...
I never had the luck of running a 4.3 build perfectly. Phone ended up crashing and getting stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S3 boot screen.
Latest carbon runs quite fine 8-29 nightly. However, I noticed Bluetooth doesn't appear in the toggles nor can you enable torch in the power widget. Anyone know a work around to fix this?

[Q] NE6, wifi, tapatalk, and xda..wut?

So ever since I updated to ne6, tapatalk has issues with xda, but ONLY on wifi. Works perfectly when using cellular. Sometimes I can hey it to behave on wifi for a minute, but then it goes back to not loading things. I have other forums on tapatalk as well, and they work fine.
I'm lost. I've tried wiping cache (both sys/dalvik and app) reset the app completely, tried wifi powersave disabled and enabled, checking hosts file, dns settings, etc., even reset my entire network... nothing makes a difference. Everything else works 100%, even other forums on tapatalk.
I wouldn't post here if I weren't at the end of my ability to figure it out. Anyone got any ideas?

I have been experiencing this problem the past several days as well on my completely stock Nexus 5. I have to disconnect from my home Wi-Fi to get the XDA app to work.
Interesting, so it may not be related to the firmware update. May be coincidental. Thanks for the data point!

I always have issues with Tapatalk with EVERY phone I`ve owned in the last year. Just a random assortment of problems. But on my Note 3 it seems a bit slower loading though.
having the same issue with NB4 so it doesn't appear to firmware related.

I couldn't take it anymore. I googled the XDA Premium 4.0.5 apk and rolled back to that version. Everything is working wonderfully now. 4.0.7 is just awful.
