Hi,
The problem seems to have started around when I upgraded to Lollipop from Kit Kat, basically what happens is my wireless connection will pause for anywhere from 20 seconds to 2 minutes. For example I'll be browsing Reddit and all the images will just stop loading, and then poof, the connection will unpause and everything will load instantly. I don't get any errors during the pause, but nothing loads, all the loading bars just stall until the connection kicks back in.
I have tried restarting my modem and router, I've done a full factory reset and I have the latest Lollipop firmware installed.
Any help would be really appreciated.

Does it only happen with Chrome? Does it only happen when on WiFi or does it happen when on cellular data as well? Have you tried flashing the factory image or did you only do a factory reset?

It affects every app that uses the Internet, when the pause occurs nothing will load, pages won't load with Firefox and images, threads won't load with Reddit Sync. I only use Wifi, I don't have a plan on my tablet. I factory reset then flashed the latest version of Lollipop.

I don't know how you flashed Lollipop, but you should flash the latest factory image. Also, check to see if there is anything on your network that might be causing an IP conflict, as that could cause your issue. Another question- does this only happen on your network or have you tested it on other networks as well?

The battle so far...
Earlier today I was just using my phone as usual, couldn't remember which app I was using, it froze and suddenly rebooted. When the lock screen came up, after 10 seconds or so, it rebooted again! In the next dozen reboots, I tried many things in that 10 seconds window, but nothing worked. So I went into recovery and did factory reset.
After reset, it came up fine, but couldn't connect to my works EAP wifi, stucks at obtaining IP. I thought it was just some wifi issue. I got home and tried the wifi, still doesn't work, stuck at obtaining IP address! Did google search and people with other android phones suggest factory reset (which I did earlier), so I reset again, wifi still doesn't work. Did some search in XDA GN forum and couple people suggest rebooting router, did that but still same thing!
Any other suggestions? I can't believe I'm having so many issues with latest official Google phone!
EDIT: it was all working before it first froze and rebooted. it was stock 4.0.2 yakju
EDIT 2: got frustrated and used GN toolkit to reflash stock 4.0.2 image, working again...
Ok so a couple of days ago I installed a 4.0 ready radio on my galaxy s2 and then went on to install Jedi Knight 6 ROM (4.0.4 and radio is UVMC6) and after installation everything was working fine.. I was messing around for a while.. it worked today, I shut my phone off to charge it up real quick, and when I turned it back on my WiFi would not connect. Well not necessarly connect.. it just wont even turn on. When I go into settings and click WiFi, it just sits there saying, Turning WiFi on, and never changes.. I can't seem to imagine what could have happened to it, and I really dont wanna have to reinstall the ROM again because i just spent hours getting this one all set up to my liking...
Anyone got any ideas?
EDIT: BTW, I have tried many things.. Tried airplane mode to disable everything then turn it back on, obviously tried rebooting the phone, i have tried wiping cache in CWM recovery and also tried fix permissions in recovery (another topic said to try those..)
Nothing has worked so far, i'm about to try reflashing my radio, see if that works.. but I really really dont want to have to reflash my whole ROM.. So if anyone has any other ideas please help, i'll edit if the radio works..
EDIT 2: Reflashing the radio did nothing.. it's really wierd, the data, bt, gps.. all of it works fine, it's just the WiFi that's frozen turning on... cant get it to stop turning on and can't get it to actually turn on..
EDIT Final: Ok well, i guess nobody knows what might have been going on.. so I just wound up reflashing my ROM, which obviously fixed it.. i just had to lose all that time spent setting everything up... But oh well.. Kinda sucks nobody even tried to help..

+1 I'm going through the same thing now
I have been having this same issue as well. It started out as stock happening sporadically. One thread suggested rooting and removing my account. Problem still occurring. Tried flashing multiple ROMs and now WiFi hasn't connected at all always stuck at turning on. I have tried clear cache, fix permissions, as well as reinstalling ROM dirty and with factory reset. I'm hoping this isn't hardware failure because I just bought this phone used but it seems to be a reoccurring problem with others as well. Any NEW suggestions not given from quick Google/xda search?

I'd suggest to check your Wireless Access Point (modem or router) wireless settings for security, check and see if it's set to use WPA/WPA2, which is common on some modems/routers, change it to either WPA or WPA2 (preferred) not both, it's a known issue with WiFi networks and having it set to using both, I had the same problem before with my phone connecting to my WiFi.
Also if you use MAC Address Filtering on the modem/router, you should disable/clear that and let phone re-connect before enabling mac filtering again.

The problem I am having is not that it won't connect to a particular network. Wifi will not initialize on the device at all and is stuck in "Turning On..." state. I found more and more posts where people ended up having to send in to Samsung so I spoke with them and even though I purchased the phone used its thankfully still under warranty and they will be replacing it. The did not confirm whether or not it was a true known device issue but were quick to file the exchange for me.
sigh, me too!
Just started having this problem on 4.3.1
great.
In my case, I had to wipe system and data before reinstalling my ROM.
Though the only reason it was happening to me was because Beanstalk 4.4.2 didn't want to get past the splash screen when I tried to install it so I downgraded back to ICS 4.0.4 without wiping. Good luck getting this issue fixed. Also another kernel might fix thingz for you if your current one does not like your device.
I have a similar problem. After a while, WiFi gets disconnected. If I go in settings - wifi, i get the message "unfortunately, settings has stopped" and I can't get WiFi to work again until I reboot the phone. The Wifi works again for a couple of minutes then stops.
I have flashed various different ROM (CM11, PA) but keeps getting the exact same behavior.
I've rebooted in safe mode and I don't get the problem now.
First, I've had this issue since Build 6.8. I was hoping a Clean Install using Philz Touch Recovery v6.48.4, which is the latest, and selected Wipe Data and select Clean to install new ROM which Formats /data, /cache, /system. I also wiped Dalvik.
Once completed I did the following:
Clean Install of Slim-d2lte-4.4.4.build.7.0-OFFICIAL-5979
I then installed
Slim_full_gapps.BETA.4.4.4.build.7.x-190
Rebooted and waited for SlimKat to boot-up. WiFi/Data both full scale. Everything Restored just fine and things are running smooth.
Then after running a few errands outside of WiFi Range, I returned home within WiFi range only to find out that WiFi had not reconnected. It tells a WiFi connection is available but will not reconnect to it. So I go into Setting and select WiFi and tried to manually reconnect. It says connecting and then goes back to Saved Connection without connecting. This same thing on other WiFi connections such as McDonald's or other open WiFi Connections.
I then do a re-boot and everything is back to normal. WiFi connects without issue and again things are fine and running smooth.
Every time I leave WiFi range and then return within WiFi range, the problem re-occurs. A Re-Boot and everything back to normal.
One thing I've always noticed when doing a Clean Install as stated above, all of my previously stored WiFi connection are still there. Same on Ringtone/Notification Tones.
With the problem I'm having, could it be something that is not being wiped/cleared out during the Clean Install process. Or wondering if it could be somehow that the WiFi Radio has gotten corrupted.
I have also tried different Kernels but again the result is the same.
Hope this is not too much of a noob question and I have searched about everything I can think of. Wondering if anyone has had this problem or have any ideas of what could cause the problem.
I really hope I can get this figured out. Thanks
If you don't have to manually reconnect and enter your password, then its not being wiped. (Or you are restoring it from a backup.) Have you tested it after the clean flash, but before restoring anything? What are you restoring and how?
It sounds like a Rom issue otherwise and you should probably ask in the rom thread.

First I don't know what I've missed wiping. When I say restoring, I'm referring to letting Google re-downloading everything from the Play Store.
I know the WiFi radio are in a different location but like you, when I do a Clean Install by formatting /data /cache /system and wiping dalvik, I wasn't expecting all the stored WiFi connections to still be there, but they are.
Its possible its being restored by Google's backup, but I don't use it myself so I'm not certain about that. Its also possible the rom may save the config file elsewhere. Again though, I don't use cm/aosp based roms so I'm not too familiar with any of their specifics.
Next time you try a clean flash, do not sign into google during setup. Instead go straight to testing wifi to see if it still remembers the connections. Do you have it set to auto connect to any open networks? If so you might want to turn that off.
Have you searched or asked in the roms thread yet? It might be a known issue or something a few others have encountered and know how to fix.

Ya I don't sign into Google at the initial start up after the flash because my WiFi is no able to connect. I will double check the auto connect feature. But I having this issue with other 4.4.4 ROMs also because I tired however on those ones I am amvle to toggle WiFi on but in advanced it has the region set to Europe and when I switch it to Canada it doesn't want to save the change
Since updating to mm firmware..I've used all mm roms on here with full wipe.. I constantly get internet stalling on all browsers and random Wi-Fi and data disconnects ..never encountered anything so frustrating..
For example I'll type apple in browser search it loads 5% stalls then internet disconnects and have to re search apples.. Wi-Fi icon shows disconnect and mobile data doesn't kick in..I have attempted on different Wi-Fi and it's still the same..there seems to be an internet loading/ Wi-Fi and data disconnect Issue for me on mm firmware.. anyone else experienced this phenomenon??
More info.. wind mobile Canada..believe I have att variant..which wind sells in Canada..
Slow Wi-Fi and disconnects..should hand over failing Wi-Fi..to mobile data network right??but just stalls and disconnects when loading pages..constantly..
Which rom are you on now?
Does it jump to and fro on wifi data or is it a flatout disconnect and you have to manually reconnect?
Does the data stay disconnected outside of wifi range or is that bouncing on/off too?

I'm on leedroid now but it's the same on all roms..it disconnects then auto reconnects Wi-Fi and mobile data doesn't kick in to load the page. I believe data must be disconnecting too or else it would kick in a load the page but pages only finish loading after the Wi-Fi reconnects
Leedroid. There's your problem!.
There has been known wifi issues on leedroid. I recommend flashing the rom twice and do not restore wifi settings if possible.
As for data connection you should be prompted at the setup to select your carrier which in turn selects the correct apn. You need your simcard in at this point as it uses the sim to determine the carrier settings.

Lee droid.. not the problem..does this on all roms so far as previously mentioned..except one I hAdn't tried. And will tomorrow. Arhd. My apn is set correctly.
Did you restore the settings from an app like titanium backup or the likes?
Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk
try to Flash the dev Edition Firmware twice and try it again. since you are on att you should have no Problem fashing the dev Edition, as Long as the cid is the proper one for dev edition
Seemed to have fixed it..
Mobile data--network operators-- clicked wind home network..it registered on the network again and seems to be fixed ATM..will update if not..possibly it altered somethig..thanks
Not fixed tried more roms..Wi-Fi and data keep auto disconnecting..maybe try reflashing 3.35.401 firmware? as its not a rom issue

be sure that you Flash it a second time, as the first one does not update all partitions
Like i said at the title, after screen off about 5min, the phone go to deepsleep then i cant turn on the wifi again unless reboot. im in OOS 8.1 5.1.1, i have try to reinstall , clean flash again but it still happen, i dont think this problem from the rom or kernel. anyone can help me please?
its so annoying.:crying::crying::crying:
Same issue here when I have "wifi on only when plugged in"

All very fine in my Op5t with 8.1 5.1.1
Do you have battery saving apps installed and are you running stock? I've got the same issue here. Deep sleep breaks wifi. When I turn the screen on (exiting deep sleep), I either need to wait long for it to connect, or sometimes just have to reboot to get it to connect at all. I've contacted support but I think this may take some time...
Same problem here. I reflashed 5.0.4 after a factory reset. It still happens. The ONLY thing that changed is I keep getting notified to update my os. There's a check box to automatically download over WiFi. Could this have screwed something up?
I've started having other strange problems like Chrome getting very laggy periodically, and have had to reboot more these past two weeks because of connectivity issues than I have in the entire time I've owned the phone.
My next step is to do a complete wipe off everything and start completely over, but I'm doubtful this will help.

This is the issue! If you switch the setting to "always on", there is no problem. So yeah I am having the same problem, very annoying. "wifi only on when plugged in" is broken, and then wifi settings keep crashing!
i also have this problem sometimes

I upgraded to 5.1.1 after a wipe off everything (data, cache, system, sdcard, every check box available on TWRP) and it still has a problem.
Any suggestions on how to debug this?
