Ok so in the past hour I've noticed that my phone has disconnected from my wifi a few times. It does connect straight away however when I try to load a page it won't load and I have to wait a little while longer until it works again.
Has anyone else had wifi issues with this device?
Any body have any wifi issues at all?
Yeah I'm having the same issue with my home's wifi.
Doesn't seem to occure at work though(or maybe I haven't noticed it since I do work there).
Talking about the 4g version.
Hi, thanks for the reply.
Apparently this is a common issue with the S4 as well. I did update my routers firmware yesterday and it didn't disconnect at all last night however ill keep watch on it.
have you tried anything to fix it?

I don't want to void the warranty though... I'm thinking it maybe a router issuer and not a firmware one...

Haven't tried anything yet.
I'll probably try flashing the latest fw at some point - which I think doesn't void your warranty.
If you find something out, let us know. I'll do the same.

I've got a new router coming from Sky. (Sky Hub.) I'll see how that acts before I flash my phone.
Let me know how you get on.
Can anyone explain how to get the MH5 Firmware and what steps need to be taken to flash it?
Yes I am too. I made another thread asking if people knew if the 9190, 9192 and 9195 have different wifi antennas. I am really bummed out over this.
Can you describe the wifi issue you have? What FM are you running?
No Wifi issues here.
So I did have issues, but that was the fail of Xposed-Framework, without that framework, there is no problem.
As a matter of fact you are able to stop the Wifi Power Safe Mode und the Service Mod (*#0011#) ... That stops a lot of Issues

Doing that will drain battery though. It isn't really an ideal fix...

well for me when i had the rogers firmware, wifi worked without any issues, whenever i flashed the hong kong firmware, it started to cause problems, so im sure its software related
Are you away from the router? I think WiFi turning off because you're too far away from router is common (at least for me).
if you've not unlocked your bootloader then I would recommend a repair via SEUS or PCC.. bit of a pain to set everything up again, but worth it if it solves your problem.

any solution to this problem? I can only stay on wifi for a minute or two then it keeps on disconnecting even though the indicator at the top says im connected. No issues with 3G it is just the wifi that disconnects. I've tried sitting real close to an AP but it doesn't help.

Have you upgraded to 2.3.3?
This supposedly fixes the issue.
I had minimal problems on 2.3.2 when I first bought the Arc but have had none since the upgrade.

I have not yet, I will asap. I guess that should have been my first solution. Been busy at work the past week.
But also I have read some other threads that was not the solution. Anyone else experience this?

I had the same problem, sent it back to vodafone who flashed it to 2.3.3, did not help one bit. I've sent the phone off to sony ericsson now, hopefully they can sort something out.
This is strange, my wifi works but then suddenly it only uploads (only green arrow lights up) and it will not download (orange arrow will not light up). I can disconnect and reconnect and I get some service, but then nothing happens.
I've tried the following:
Rebooting the phone several times
Restarting the router
Changing from DHCP to Static IP
Turning off the new open network notification
Clearing data from Google Play store
Disabled wifi power save with *#0011#
Nothing seems to fix it. What is going on?
READ BEFORE YOU FOLLOW ANY OF MY INSTRUCTIONS!! U HAVE BEEN WARNED I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU SOMEHOW DAMAGE YOUR PHONE!!!
OK so let's go straight to Ur answer.... Let it sit for a while after it boots up (a minute) with Ur wifi on. so restart the phone while wifi is on and let it sit for a while... If Ur using a wired connection with a wireless router disconnect the wired modem then the wireless and wait 10 secs and reconnect the wired first and let's all the lights go green or whatever color they show u its ready and then connect the wireless router and try to connect to it.
If that didn't work and you don't have your phone rooted then flash the only time that we have for now. That should fix the wifi issue.
If it doesn't work try to go back to stock and let it sit for a while without touching it and if it doesn't work then the phones defective but keep in mind that if you went through the root process that if you send it back without erasing the flash counter your warranty will be voided so be aware of it. I don't know if there's an app compatible with the s4 so if it's not rooted then replace it just to be safe.... It's your choice
Sent from a phone better than yours!
My phone is not rooted.
What did you mean by flashing the time?
How do I erase the flash count if I decide to root later?
Thank you for your help. =)
------edit------
The method -- sans the flashing the time -- seemed to work, but then the internet stalled again. This is happening on two S4 phones. My other phones have no trouble with the wifi, my pcs have no trouble with the wifi. What are the odds that two phones aren't working? Nobody else is having this problem?
I have already made a thread with the sane issue. You're not the only one facing it. A lot more people are too. It might be a software thing and might be fixed in the next update. If not, exchange it

What router are you using? D-Link DIR-655 seems to be most popular one people are having trouble with. What mode are you using (a/b/g/n/mixed/etc)? Mine only works with Mixed n and g mode. When you turn off the wifi, does it actually turn off (the green indicator will dim but should actually go away when it's off)? The stock rom seems to want to keep the wifi on at all costs... not sure why! Mine is very stubborn and takes several tries before it actually turns off and says "turn wifi on the see available networks." In order for the *#0011# Power Save Mode Off setting to work, the WiFi needs to actually turn off then back on. I have to toggle airplane mode sometimes just to get the wifi to turn off.

It shuts off when I save; I put the settings as you suggested. I'll test it.

DGL-4500 is a D-Link, correct? If it is a D-Link, I'd make sure you are on the latest firmware for it and try various mode settings (disable mixed modes, 2.4GHz or 5GHz only, WPA2/TKIP only, etc). This post details a solution to my scenario; maybe it'll give you some ideas.
I have d-link router too and wifi working just fine

Yeah, it is a D-Link; not a Linksys. I tried what you did, it seems to be okay so far. I have the latest firmware. I still think this is a problem with the phone. Do you think an update will fix it?

Yes, it's definitely a problem with the phone. I've spent the last several days researching and trying to find a permanent solution. It appears to be a software issue but I've yet to explain how wifi works just fine for some and not for others.
Any solution to this yet without messing with the router setting. I have this week left to get a full refund. I doubt exchanging it would make a difference. Plus tmobile is out of stock and stores won't allow exchanges since I bought mine online.

Recently got the Z1C on Contact, frankly its the biggest regret I've had with a mobile device.
Is anyone else having WiFi speeds slower than dial up?
My download speed is < 250 KB's
Any1 else had this? If so does any1 know a fix?
Thanks
I don't have that, neither on 2,4GHz nor on 5GHz. You could try the unofficial DooMLord kernel, it mentions "custom built wifi wlan modules", dunno if that helps.

I'd just like my Stock Z1C to actually work with WiFi.
Its not exactly difficult, its seriously annoying me now, why is it so slow?

I'll check it out when I get home but I never have Bluetooth on so I'd be surprised if it was that.
I have a gaming router which is extremely powerful and all other devices/phones work perfectly so I know that the Z1C is the bottleneck.
Any other ideas if its not the bluetooth?
Thanks
I've not had any issues with WiFi or BT, which is always on on my phone. I do use 5GHz for WiFi.

Have you tried restarting your router?
Does it go slow with every wifi? can you test it on different wifi and see if the problem is with one type of router?
Don't think I've seen anyone ekse with this problem, although flashing the .757 update messed up my bluetooth (then .761 fixed it).

Thanks for getting back to me
I have tested it on my work WiFi, I don't know whether it is coincedence, sod's law or normal but the WiFi on my Z1C at my work is absolutely rapid!!
I've just updated an app to test it, and it was at around 5MB's which is brilliant for me !
However, work WiFi is a 100MB's connection speed, where as at home I believe its around the 12MB's mark (geographic limitations in place here >.<).
From this I see only a couple of conclusions:
1 - Z1C and my home router just don't get along.
2 - As the WiFi speed is so much higher at work, so is the Z1C
or that theres no relation between the WiFi speed and my device but there is an issue with the Z1C WiFi itself?
I'm presuming its the first?
Thanks again!

Hi there,
I'm still on totally stock ROM.
I've done some testing and I believe it is on every router/internet but is very inconsistent. Sometimes its very speedy, others it will drop to almost unusable speeds.
I think I'ma just get rid of this terrible device, very disappointed in Sony. Here are some of my issues:
Phantom Touches
Unresponsive Touch Screen
Constant Crashes
Phone CONSTANTLY answers in Loudspeaker
Screen will not wake up
WiFi Speeds Totally Unusable

Have to be honest,
I got that fedup with all the issues on the phone, I sold it and bought an iPhone.

Hey that's a new phone just so you know because this is not acceptable.
Not sure about reclaims in your country but it should be valid in most?
Mine did about the same as my PC/PS4 = 60-95MBps, that is until yesterday
Both bluetooth and wifi are stone cold dead so I though I should reflash my ROM(Aur) and rushed it when I realized whilst doing the same 'ol start guide for the hundreds time I forgot to flash recovery :victory::fingers-crossed:

I'm using the latest Zui 2.5.104 ST since last two months, everything is stock and I haven't faced any random reboot issue. May be issue was there with first/earlier version, but no issue with the latest update. VoLTE also works perfectly and never drops (Just that "HD" sign grts vanished sometimes, but VoLTE still works). You can go ahead and buy this phone. Btw, issues like random reboots, heating can be due to individual usage, so make sure you don't overheat the phone, or use bad apps.

No such issue after update
To be on the safe side just factory reset the phone few times after update....it helps to get rid of such issues.
On 2.5.104 ST, every time I unlocked my phone, screen flickered and all radios disconnected. Sometimes it would immediately freeze, go to black screen, then LED lit up, requiring me to hold power button down to reboot the phone. Sometimes this happened, but not immediately. Sometimes radios would recover and phone would continue to function. Sometimes cellular radios recovered, but wifi did not, and even toggling airplane mode didn't fix it so I had to reboot. Nougat was quite a mess on my phone and that's even after factory reset many times. Several on zukfans.eu site had similar issues.
I don't think it was a hardware issue, because downgrade to 2.0.133 ST (Marshmallow) works perfectly.

One. 2.4.
Hello everyone i'm new here, some time ago i have updated my tablet's android version from 4.3 to 4.4.2 through ota update, after about one month later my tablet started having a weird wifi problem (i don't know if it is related to ota update or not) my tablet shows good wifi signal but it wont connect (it connects only when it is near router's antenna though and this is really weird) and no it is not a router problem because it is the same problem everywhere, i tried EVERYTHING to fix this problem (wifi fixer apps, factory reset, reinstalled android firmware with samsung kies, rooted my tablet and even installed a custom rom) but none of these methods didn't solve the problem.
Does anyone knows how to fix this problem? did i miss something??? could it be a bad kernel? or maybe a bad configuration that should be changed manually, or is it just a hardware problem?
