Dear folks!
I have been experiencing a significant problem for a while already and looking for how to solve it, and I hope someone of you can give me some help. Any advice appreciated. I couldnt find any concrete solution for this.
Let me start to explain you.
My sister is actually the one using Samsung Galaxy S4 mini (not rooted, Android 4.4.2), and we both have the same problem. Mine is Samsung Galaxy S Relay (rooted, Android 4.4.4).
Our wifi download speed from speedtest.net results directly about 40 Mbits/sec and I can't even believe it!
But when it comes to for example Facebook, Youtube, Google Play, it takes a long time for loading, especially the pictures. Worse on youtube videos, in most of the cases, it can't even load anything, it stops and only after several refresh I can see something, and again very slow.
On mine computer, it is all fine though. Also on our mobile data everything is working perfect and fast.
On my galaxy, I have tried different Android versions, but nothing changed, wifi still slow. Whatever we do on our mobile, change the ROM, factory reset, nothing helps. And the strangest thing is, that when my friend tried our wifi on his Nokia mobile, it worked also fast and without an issue.
It may sound strange, but our problem has exactly started when there was an upgrade of the ISP in our city. After experiencing like that, I have called them and they recommended me a new router. The new router didn't change anything.
My ISP suggested me to try another channels on the router.. I have tried them all. Sill the same problem, and they can not help me any further so far.
If it is an andoid issue, what else can I try?
If it is a router issue, what can I try on its settings? I believe there is an interface/connection problem between samsung and my router or new ISP settings, maybe some change in the settings could fix it?
I would appreciate any help from you guys.
Thank you in advance!
// EDIT, SOLUTION
in case it happens same to you,
this is the solution in such a case, but need to be rooted: just disable the ipv6
I used https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.lennartschoch.disableipv6 for that
no such troubled lags anymore! it costed me lots of nervs and went to my bananas!
here you go and enjoy!
Please somebody any idea?
// edit: solved!
Just want to share with you my solution: after disabling IPv6, facebook, youtube and google play work fast now! (in case u have a bad ISP (?) like mine!)
for disabling it i luckily found https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.lennartschoch.disableipv6

I've had this issue on every touchwiz based rom I've run. I would guess that most of the time I can watch a video that's as long as about 2 minutes most times. If it's longer than that I'll usually make it about 50% of the way through the video. When I was running cm7 on this phone I didn't have the problem. I've tried searching bit my terms seem pretty vague and I can't really find anyone else having the problem, or any solutions.
Anyone else ever experience this kind of trouble with the YouTube app? I'm currently on the latest blazer rom but have also tried Caulkilins (I never know how to spell it or pronounce it...but you know which rom I mean ;-) )
Thanks

Had this problem with the Evo and Evo 3d. Also got it on this phone stock when I first bought it. Somehow it just went away since I've flashed Calk's. I think its a problem with YouTube itself.

I never really had this problem. Hopefully you find a solution.
Lately YouTube app freezes on videos and on epic 4 it foreclose altogether now
.: sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch :.
It doesn't fc, it just stops playing. I just tried to watch a 3 minute video and the (god forbid) a 10 minute. Nope. Not even close to 2 minutes in on either. Is YouTube that bad now? I don't seem to have this much trouble on my PCs,though I do occasionally have some.
This REALLY bothers me. But others are able to watch videos no problem, eh? This isn't an epidemic ....
Really weird. :-(

Are you on the latest Youtube version?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524351
Try that if not. Once again good luck on the find.
I've been on every single rom. I never had this issue. Are you using ics leak or gb el29? Also do you have good data speeds or a reliable wifi at your house? And did you update your flash player via market?

I'm in your boat my dude. My youtube will just stop playing randomly. It could be 3 mins or 10 mins into the video and it just stops. It really started annoying me until I realized that it was an automatic pause. So I when I touched the screen, it would resume. I don't think anyone is working on a fix though with it being a seemingly small issue.
Mi nuh tek intimidation
I was complaining about this to someone at work the other day...and when I went to show them, it worked fine. I SWEAR I've had this problem at work..but maybe I got my facts confused and just didn't look @ youtube at work beause I didn't want anyone to see how flawed my awesome device was.
tried a few more....everything was good.
Go home....no go. So now I'm wondering if it's my old Linksys WRT54Gv8 running DD-WRT. I upgraded the firmware to the newest stable (mine was from 2008 and upgraded to one that is late 2009). No Luck.
at work I was on wifi also, so...it's not the phone's WiFi.
it works better on 3/4g but freakin wifi should rule them all. my cable is fast as F and other devices in the house don't have issues...weird, eh?
OK so this is a troubleshooting thread at this point. It's a problem with my home wireless.
I tried upgrading the firmware on my DD-wrt router and I think I bricked it. Oh well. It had a decent life. The firmware was from early 2008 and I don't remember when I got it.
So I got a new Linksys/Cisco e3000 and set it up. It doesn't hand out IP addresses or anything. All it does is share my internet connection. Dhcp and DNS is handled by my old windows 2003 domain controller. I get an IP and all seems fine but I've done quite a bit of testing tonight and wireless is slower to begin things (like market, YouTube, etc) than 4g.
My speed test results are great thoughf on wireless. Like....stupid fast. Almost as fast as my connection is. ~25mb.
The initial post was obviously about YouTube and what I'm seeing is on Wi-Fi a video will cache up much faster but it stops at some point. When the playing video reaches that point the video stops and will not start again. When I watch a video on 4g it caches up more slowly, staying just ahead of what's playing. On the rare instance that it catches up I'll get the spinning circle for a second or 200 and it'll start playing again.
The behavior is quite different and I'm not sure what would cause it.
Hoping someone might have some insight here or suggestions .....pretty irritating to not be able to enjoy this awesome phone as much at home as I can at work. I have a lot more time to f off on my phone @ home.
For my home wifi I got the Asus n56u, and also bought a range extender that plugs into an outlet. I have had no connectivity issues and setup was a breeze. Its either your router or your service at this point.

i'm having the same f***ed up issue. after playing vids for 5 mins, it stops suddenly. and its annoying as f** !!! theres got to be a solution to this.
My setup is just overly complicated. I had a 2003 domain controller that does dhcp and DNS, then goes through a virtual machine of a Linux firewall called Untangle. The VM was running within a 2008 server who was also supposed to be a domain controller.
I hated 2008 and wanted to go to R's anyway so I demoted the 2008 server blew away the old untangle install and just started over with 2008r2. Also upgraded from the old free vmware server client (no longer available or supported) and went to vmware workstation and now everything is working great.
I doubt you have the same things.....but....I don't think it was a problem with android or YouTube, but its still weird that no other devices at my house had this problem ....

i have searched every possible threads and browsed Google for hours to find for a solution. but i couldn't find any. i have a stable WiFi connection,yet, my whatsapp messages are delayed.( they are not delayed if i am using mobile data). if i send a msg now it takes forever to send it.moreover if someone send me a messsage , i receive it lately,probable 3,4 messages together. i have also noticed that my WiFi do not stay active when i use whatsapp.probably this is the reason my messages do not get sent instantly. the two small arrows in the WiFi bars disappears.which means data are not being sent or received.i have to open the play store or browse the internet to make the connection active. why is it that when i use whatsapp the WiFi connection becomes inactive but when i browse,WiFi is healthy? is there any way that i can force WiFi to stay active and connected when i am using whatsapp?or is it possible to increase the priority of whatsapp to use the max WiFi strength just like browsers and play-store? i really can don't care about battery if i can use whatsapp properly.is there any modded whatsapp apk which can force max wifi to stay active etc etc... i am really frustrated. any help is highly appreciated.
p.s: i have changed kernels, from Franco to trinity than Franco again, unchecked "avoid poor WiFi connections", set WiFi sleep policy to "never"
Sounds more like a problem with your WIFI router then the phone itself. Have you tried to reboot your router?
WIFI High performance widget might help you to keep the WIFI alive when screen off.

Did you tweak the Wifi parameters with your custom kernels (low latency mode)? Have you tried flashing back stock kernel to see if that fixes the issue?
not yet. but my question is if the wifi network was the problem then my brothers htc one x running ics and galaxy tab running gingerbread should also face this problem in whatsapp,ryt? but they dont.is it the rom i am using?do u think getting back to stock might help? any recommendations? i love xenon
I know exactly what you're talking about because I experience it as well. It doesn't matter what ROM, (stock, CM10, PA etc) kernel, (stock, Franco, Trinity etc) or what WiFi network I'm on (work, home, coffee shop etc) but whenever I'm on WiFi my messages in WhatsApp are delayed when the application isn't open. I've basically concluded it's the app itself that has a problem with WiFi. I have no fix, I just keep hoping that the next update will fix it.
The developer website isn't very helpful either. Basically suggesting not to use WiFi if the other fixes they suggest don't work.

No idea unfortunately
I know it was running fine for me on ICS, but I noticed it changed after JB. I run the version of WhatsApp offered directly from the website which I think is different from the Play Store, so I don't know if it was a version change, or something specific to JB.
If I know I'm going to be using WhatsApp I stay off WiFi. Not ideal, but it's the only thing I've done that's "fixed" it.

If you always had this problem since the day you bought the phone and on stock (not sure if you flashed a custom ROM right on the first day you owned it), probably not. But if whatsapp worked fine before and the problem was introduced after flashing a custom ROM/kernel, I'd say returning to stock will probably fix it.

I've used whatsapp since day 1 I have my gnex. No issues whatsoever, not on ICS nor on JB. I also don't see this forum flooded with people complaining about whatsapp, so I'd say it's a specific problem linked to your whatsapp account and/or phone.

Beats me. However, with millions of users and billions of messages sent per day, things obviously can go wrong. Try contacting whatsapp support.

I've used Whatsapp for a very long time, previously on an HTC Desire S and now on my GNex GSM and never had issues.... I'm on stock JB rom but I've tried several others with diff kernels and no probs whatsoever. Until today. Faced the exact same prob as the OP described (whatsapp msg's go thru or come very late on wifi but do so fine on 2G/EDGE - however everything else works just fine re gtalk msg's/browsing etc and whatsapp works fine too on my brother's SGS3 on wifi).
Was going nuts googling about it when my brother informed me that he'd changed the home ISP and now our wifi router was pumping out access from a new ISP's modem. So I tried switching back to the old ISP to test (swapped the cable modem that connects to our wifi router) and whatsapp works fine again. Then my brother switched back to the new ISP's modem and same problem for me on whatsapp! So we factory reset the router after upgrading it's software to latest from the manufacturers website and now, finally, whatsapp works fine for me on both ISP's modems.
Maybe you can try messing with your router (factory reset or look thru its settings or try another ISP input just to test?), maybe it will help. It's a strange issue though. (FWIW my router's a cheap one by TENDA and my phones wifi sleep policy is set to always on).

Hi all,
I recently sent my phone in and got it back probably little less than a week ago. Samsung had to replace the motherboard on my phone as it had the infamous SDS syndrome. I just realized the other day that when I connect it to WiFi at home, I can't upload my apps on the Play Store. I can still surf the web and everything, but most of the apps just don't connect to the web.
Is there a solution to this or do I have to send it again? As you probably know I don't want to do that because it's extremely frustrating. Should I try doing a reset to see if this helps the solution or ?
I know that it worked on another WiFi hot spot (my work) on Friday, so this issue just happened recently. I'm pretty tempted to do a hard reset since I don't have everything downloaded and reloading my contacts won't be that big of an issue. Any recommendations will help. It also states that my WiFi download speed at home is 72MBPS when I check the network I'm connected too.
Many thanks in advance for the help!
EDIT: I have not rooted my phone and don't plan too anytime soon. I'm considering on selling this so I can get the Note 3, but after the couple of issues lately, not sure if I wanna stick with the Note at all.
EDIT 2: Weird, it seems like it works in my room but not in my living room...I just realized that now which is extremely annoying, any solutions or suggestions as to what might be causing this?
EDIT 3: And it's not working again...I cancelled the download and tried downloading it again and it works again! This is frustrating....any help would be appreciated!

Hello, i know this has been discussed here before, but i wanted to ask for help anyway. My Wifi was working perfectly fine on Android 4.1, but after this update to 4.2.2 its really bad.
I know its software issue, pressing right top corner of my HOX doesnt help at all. I tried factory reset, but it didnt help. I´m running official ROM and no root. The problem is that sometimes when i have full signal strenght, the wifi speed is still horrible (like 0.5mb on 10mb wifi).
Any suggestions what to try? Thanks a lot

I have exactly the same problem. All HTC customer service suggested was factory reset, tried that and no difference. On 4.1 it worked fine on my wifi at home throughout the house, now on 4.2, works ok downstairs but useless upstairs even when it says I have 4 bars of signal. Very one times flaky though and sometimes drops to 1 or none. This is a disaster as I understand there is no way to roll back to 4.1. This is unbelievable!! How can an official update totally break basic functionality with no way back!? Searched all over Internet to find a solution and no luck, even though a fair few people seem ro have this problem. Is not a hardware problem, as OP, squeezing top right makes no difference. Have tried static IP, doesn't help. Desperate for help, can any wise heads on here suggest anything? Thanks!
So wish I had not updated, it worked brilliantly before.
Same situation here after the update... With full signal keep having horrible Wifi speed... :'(

Do you have the same problem 4play975? Seems quite a few people do..! As per OP my phone is not rooted and don't want to root it really.
Any chance anyone can suggest any other solutions to try?
Failing that, some details on what Richmondos fix is would be useful!!
Yeah, I really dont want to root my phone too, because i have warranty for more than 1 year now and I will sell the phone in future, so I dont wanna risk loosing warranty..
I also have similar problem! But it varies, sometimes it's bad and sometimes not??? Phone is stock and locked and don't want to unlock and install custom stuf, until warranty period is over.
Hello to all
I have the same wi-fi problem on my HTC One X since I made the update.
Is there any way to solve this?I hope so, because Wi-Fi signal is very bad, and I use it a lot of time.
I have CWM recovery installed,bootloader unlocked, and s-on, recently I have rooted my phone,
but at this moment is not.
I dont care installing new kernel, radio,etc........I just want to solve this problem :crying:
Tanks to all
I have a problem with my wifi too since the Andriod 4.2.2 and Sense 5 update, but it seems to be a bit different from yours. The speedtest.net app and the ping & DNS app give the same results as my PC that is hard wired to the router, so speed and ping seem to be fine.
But I get errors like Connection Problem Authentication via the proxy server was unsuccessful - but I don't use a proxy server. In the HOX wifi settings for that router the Proxy settings are Manual, Proxy hostname 127.0.0.1 and proxy port 3128. Are these correct for when there is no proxy? If switch from Manual to None and go back in then it has gone back to those settings.
Another error is Connection Problem this page contains too many server redirects. But the page displays fine if I switch to mobile data.
Or I get Connection Problem there was a network error. Again it works fine on mobile data.
Then there are some webpages that give a 404 page cannot be found error. Again it works fine on mobile data.
Some of these problems are repeatable on the same webpages across different routers in different buildings.
Sometimes when connecting to a router the HOX connects and the loses the connection and then reconnects up to 10 times before settling on the connection.
Like you I would rather not root etc if possible.
So, noone know a solution for users without root? I found out that on some wifi (in school), it works quite fine even on worse signal. But before update, it was ok on every wifi..
Hi
i have the same problem with my wlan connection. Nearly 100kb/s.
I had tested my internet download speed on my computer and takes interesting information:
my internet connection is 70MBit, this means i can download with nearly 8,2 MB/s.
If my HOX is not connected to the router, the whole downloadspeed is available on the computer. But if the HOX is connected, the downloadspeed is only 1 MB/s.
After disconnecting and rebooting the router, the internet connection is as well as before.
Does anyone makes the experiences?
regards
Daniel
I don't have the speed problems, Speedtest.net app gives the same results on my HOX as my PC.
One of my wifi problems is to do with the Wi-fi connecting to a weak signal instead of the stronger one - I have worked around this by installing WiFi Fixer App which works well at switching to the stronger signal.
Also there are some websites that give errors like Server Error too Many Redirects (for example http://www.thefreedictionary.com/ does that for me) or 404 Error - Page Cannot be Found (http://fahrbot.co.uk/) or are sometimes slow to load - I have found that these issues don't happen with the Opera Mini app, so why does the stock browser give these problems when on wifi, but not on mobile data?
Another one is that if I click a link in a webpage (or type in a URL) that takes me to a webpage that has a mobile version as well as the desktop version I get a strange URL that doesn't work. For example on mobile data typing in www.abmobileapps.com takes me to the mobile version of the website, but on wifi the URL automatically changes to http://www.abmobileapps.comhttp/www.abmobileapps.com/ and the page cannot be found. Again it works in mini Opera on wifi.
WIFI FIX
if you use rooted device, use lyapota mods and flash modpack http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2114584 (contin wififix and other).
for me works great :highfive: (my router has openwrt)
I found out that on some other wifis speed works just fine. I have router D-Link DIR-600 with stronger antenna than it was stock. I use WPA2 security and Dynamic IP.
Is there anything what I should try to fix it? Thanks for any suggestions.
Here are some advices how to fix the WiFi issues - router dependent (need access to the router setup):
1. Make sure that you are not using channel 11-13
2. Disable "WMM Support" in router Wireless -> Advanced Settings. Note: this will force G-only speed (54Mb)
3. You you want to keep the N speed, put your phone in the highest possible QoS priority without disabling the "WMM Support"
Hope this helps

So, we will change WMM settings for all wifi modems that we connect...
Shame on you HTC...Next time I will ignore HTC while buying a new mobile phone...
after flashing lyopotas mod pack my hox'S wifi seems to work again like it's supposed
maybe it helps
After update,
i can't use my home wifi (Innacomm),using other wifi okay.
conneted but can't surf internet (error 404) but can only use opera mini (very very very slow).
Using other device no problem with the wifi..anyone can help me? TQ :crying:
The problems I am having with proxy and 404 errors are all caused by the Web Protection feature in Kaspersky Internet Security for Android since the OTA to Android 4.2.2 (it worked fine previously). I have installed the latest KIS 11.1.4.141 from the Kaspersky website (because Google Play says it is up to date at version 11.1.3) but the problem still occurs. So I have turned off Web Protection in KIS and all my issues have been cleared up.

Since I got this phone a little more than 24 hours ago, I have been dealing with an issue that has been driving me crazy.
Basically some apps, such as LinkedIn and Twitter, do not work when using the Wi-Fi. My WiFi has nothing wrong, tried multiple routers and connections, same result.
I ultimately endeded up factory resetting the phone but to my surprise made no difference.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Hi, yes, i have the same problems with my Pixel 3. Netflix wont show anything an while browsing websites i become : 408 requested time out errors.
Ping to lot of websites show me a massive paket loss ~25% . Via LTE runs everything fine. Factory settings doesnt solve this problem.

If this was a widespread problem it would have been well documented by now, so no I'm certainly not experiencing this. Have you tried different hotspots? If so it might be RMA time.

Apparent it works with some but doesn't with others. I have 3 different 802.11n and 802.11ac AP running either pfsense and OpenWrt and none of them works.
I am starting to be worried this to be an hardware issue.

I am not aware of packet loss during pings, but the applications that stops to work when on wifi so far are LinkedIn, Twitter, kik. All of the rest runs fine. I feel this could potentially be a either driver issue or a bug with how the phone interact with certain APs.

I have raised a bug with Google and provided a packet trace taken on the Pixel 3XL during issue reproduction https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/119440208
If you or anyone else has got this issue or believe you have it, please reply to it.
Are you connected to a VPN? I had a issue with my OG pixel and 2xl that when connected to a VPN and on wifi nothing worked. When connected to the same vpn on LTE everything worked fine.
