I have a Samsung Galaxy tab3 and have issues streaming from the device on wifi when at work. However, i have no issues on my Iphone or Ipad when attempting the same tasks. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix or make signal stronger?
Thanks in advance

Just a heads up for WMW players on Nexus 7.
I've found out that the game in subject runs just fine but only as long as you're connected to the net.
If you loose the WiFi connection or turn it off, the game force-closes upon launch.
This is either a JB compatibility issue or Nexus 7 compatiblity issue because the same game works just fine on SGS III with airplane mode turned on.
I've raised the issue with the Disney support, so we just have to wait how fast they'll react with the correction

It's mostly likely not an issue not being able to connect to servers. They most likely try to check for wifi/3g connection (as opposed to internet connectivity), and if it doesn't have it, they mishandle that, causing an application crash. I haven't watched the logs for it though, so not sure.
Same here mate, Reported to Disney, hopefully they look in to this soon
darn, I was hoping this issue was solved by now.
Im using an acer a500 with ICS and I have this same problem. Any workaround?
both apps work fine without wifi here. and have since beginning of october at least.
Always worked fine for me with or without WiFi and with or without a 3G connection on my phone.

HI all,
I have been successfully tethering my nexus 7 and galaxy nexus with no problem until very recently. I have used the bluetooth keep alive app on my nexus to solve the issue of dropping connections but as soon as I updated to 4.12 on my galaxy nexus (I was still tethering with 4.12 on my nexus 7 before my phone updated) I can no longer tether. Both devices are running stock android 4.12, I can pair the devices and send files in either direction. As soon as i attempt to connect to the galaxy nexus on my nexus 7 it briefly says connecting and then goes back to nothing.
I have tried this with and without the keep alive app installed, with it installed very briefly a notification comes up informing me the app is holding wake lock but then quickly disappears. I also cant seem to find any other instances of this on the internet.
If anyone has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
I have same issue with no idea how to fix after searching numerous forums and such.

Not sure if it's just me, but on my Nexus I am connected to wifi while at work and at home. When the screen turns off so does my data about 10% of the time. When I turn the screen back on it will show just the cell bars (full signal) with no data icon (H, 3G, E, etc.) and no wifi symbol. After unlock it will try and re-connect and eventually does. In my wifi settings I have keep wifi on during sleep set to "always", and wifi optimization turned off (<-- not sure what this does).
Anybody else with this issue?
Yeah I get this issue too after the update...even with WiFi sleep set to never....and the new option for WiFi performance switched off! Any help devs?

Same for me, but try this : (this is what i do)
go to wifi settings and turn it on, wait for it to connect then turn it off, then on again.
this solves it for me but i have to do this every time i want to connect to a wifi network
This always happens to me too I just thought it was because of the new wifi-optimization so I never thought twice about it...

I am having the same problem.
Now that this is buried in Q&A I expect that it won't been seen as much.
Could any deva compare the driver for the WiFi from 4.1 and check the changes using a code compare app? Should be Peru ready if someone can tell me how to get at the code inside the files I could do it..... It might help

Same problem here, any fix/solution for it?
judging from responses I guess many have tried/failed to find resolution.
in my case, and I THINK it is since 4.2.1 - can't prove it - the reception is just abysmal on my home ap [repeated, one single ap id/login]. nexus 7 beyond about 4 meters from any of the devices gets a flaky connection, will drop, reconnect in the background repeatedly. if I use wifi analyzer on the nexus it shows a "fair" signal at that spot - use it on a better device and of course it shows a better [green] signal .. surprise surprise.
my geriatric Optimus P509, the galaxy s4g, ipad mini, and venerable thinkpad x120e get good signal on the very spot.
I've tried off/on wifi, cache clearing - no sacrificial animals however...
any clues out there?
oh, and as some few others have noted, I get a different signal indication in portrait mode vs. landscape, no matter how my fingers are arranged. and just the act of flipping it into the horizontal will cause a disconnect/reconnect.

same problem, don't know how to solve. I guess (just guess) it may be relavent to power management, because it often happens at night, when I left the phone untouched for several hours. I think during this long period of time the phone goes into some kind of "power saving mode", which affects the wifi and data connection.
I'm in the same boat, I've got the same problem with mi wifi. Everything works great, except when I turn off the screen and my wifi begins to act crazy turning on/off all by itself.
I've tried latest aokp latest cm 10.1, different kernels but nothing. I'm thinking to go back to 4.1.1 to see will the issue still be there.
Report back if it works good in 4.1.1.

After flashing back to CM 10.0, everything is working perfect again, no wifi issues at all.
So it's a 4.2.1 issue... Maybe a modem + 4.2.1 issue? Or is this issue specific only for a few devices?
I'm using LF1 modem.

I have the same wifi issue as well. When the phone is asleep wifi will drop and I don't get email notifications. I'm thinking about going back to 4.1 as well.
Try to untick the wifi optimization. Mine one seems ok, without wifi drop after untick it.

I'll give it a shot, but I think that I have already tried that.

I tried this too but it didn't helped. Yesterday I've flashed rasbeanjelly and my WiFi worked fine, but today again WiFi drops everytime my GN is in deep sleep.
Don't know what to try or do next...

A friend has a tab 3 and is getting ready to return it because of poor Wi-Fi reception. Had anyone else noticed any problems? I've got my tab 2 and using Wi-Fi Analyzer to compare the signal strength, the tab 3 is consistently 20 to 30 percent lower than the tab 2.

I think it is on the apps u installed, if u had battery saver apps or battery dr. Etc. Try to uninstalled it.. bcoz mostly battery saver apps trying to save energy, so it will block some signal or control the way u use ur battery.. that's what I did on my tab , and now my wify signal is the same as my phone.. hope it will help u guys..
It seems my wifi on the Note 8 has issues. It is much slower than my N3 accessing the same data on G+ and even here. It makes me think I'm on dialup sometimes. Not as bad using the browser but still slow compared to my other devices. I have a TP-Link router. I also see a message "Connected to Playground" which is my SSID, never see this on the N3. I'm not sure where to go from here.

I had to change channel to 11 in router. Don't know why. I pad, note 3 would work but note would not. Changed channel in router settings and all is well with all devices.

Probably a conflict with other access points in the area.
If you want to see the conflicts and tune your WiFi network in general WiFi Analyzer is a great app.
