Recently I've been having problems with Wi-Fi. My phone and nexus 7. They both stay on blue bars all the time claiming they're connected to Google servers. And it'll work good for about 20 seconds and then I'll have no connection for about a minute. Bars will stay blue like its connected and WiFi show that it's fill signal but pages won't load, apps will timeout and YouTube videos won't stream. Makes it impossible to download any Roms or apps at times. This just recently started happening. Videos will stream good for maybe 2 minutes tops. Then pause, after a minute Wi-Fi will stay streaming and going again by itself and stream. I haven't changed my router or is settings. I have static ip's assigned too. All other computers work just fine for internet. Never a problem.
I've tried changing kernels, Roms, complete wipes and reinstalls. Rebooted the router. Nothing fixes it. I'm getting really frustrated. I'm at the point where I'm going trio go buy a new router just cause I want to use 5ghz. Anyways, any suggestions to solve this?
There may be an error in aosp code that can cause wifi instability: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35146886&postcount=5128

Weird how it affects just my device in an entire thread with a ton of people using the rom and same kernel.
I went and picked up a new router. I'll see if that fixes it. Thanks for the input though. I appreciate it.
Didn't help with new router. My WiFi still cutting out like crazy on Franco kernel. Almost as soon as I turn off screen. But its not turning WiFi off. Just goes into some sort of state where nothing comes through. When screen on everything is fine though now.
In Wifi settings, you could try unchecking "Avoid Poor Connections" and see if that helps.
Also do you have any other devices at home on the same wifi network - do they experience the same issues, I know where I am if we get a lot of rain, it causes intermittent internet slowdowns, I had similar issues and after testing other devices found this to be my problem not my Wifi.
Also, have you got any cordless phones in the house that might run on the same frequency?
I still have an issue keeping wifi at 100% d/l when the phone is asleep, even though the setting is for always on. It must be a hardware thing for me because every rom I've tried from ICS to the latest JB exhibit the same issue. If I am in a desperate need to d/l a large file on my phone, I just temporarily change the screen display off timer to 10 minutes of so so the wifi will stay at max d/l speed.

Ya avoid poor connections is unchecked. And wifi optimization is unchecked. I've tried putting my router on full auto, tried setting static ip addresses for everything. Changing from wireless n to wireless g. Changing security to off as well. Using the 5ghz band instead of 2.4. The nexus 7 is working perfectly fine with the new router. But my galaxy nexus is totally unreliable. Weird is that it just started happening within past couple weeks. And actually, it was good for the first day or so after new router. I can confirm all other wifi devices jn the house work just fine without any hiccups. I've never had a problem with other devices. No dropouts or anything. It's really puzzling me!
One thing I found weird, if I disable wmm on my router, my nexus 7 and galaxy nexus will not connect. Anyone else get this?
I hope you also have your router firmware completely up to date.

Ya my router auto updates itself. Its a Cisco EA6500 in case your wondering and is helpful.
I use my wifi at work and it's very unreliable. At times going into an endless disconnect/reconnect loop. Sometimes restarting the wifi helps or putting it in and out of airplane mode. Other times nothing helps except a reboot of my phone. Some apps may make the issue worse. I don't think there is a fix and waiting for google to fix the flaw a user pointed out earlier.

Possibly a 4.2 issue. But its not affecting everyone it seems. But i see that there is a huge thread about this at the google site. Not an isolated case
When you say you set a static ip, you set one from the router, have you tried setting a static ip on the phones wifi advanced options as well?
Have you tried different radios?

Yup has happened to me mine connects to the net but has grey bars and doesn't open any websites and apps dont connect to the net a reboot solves the problem

I set static on both router and the phone. I've tried all the north american radios. None of the euro ones. no effect. Sticking to the latest North American radio for now. I've managed to make it work sorta with CM10.1 with stock kernel on completely fresh install. It works, but the down arrow on the Wi-Fi icon stays lit almost 100% of the time. no idea why, only other device that was on all yesterday was the nexus 7, and that was on the 2.4ghz and phone the 5ghz. Huge wlan_rx_wake!
It's likely this:

See if that sounds about right and if so, you'll just have to wait for a Google Patch.

When i first updated to 4.2, I was getting crazy dropouts. After unchecking the Wi-fi optimization, it was more consistent but still drops out frequently while at work. There is a known bug with the wifi driver that hasn't been addressed for years, but still trying to find the original articles describing the problems.
It seems you are having tons of issues, worse than most.
If you are having a problems suggested on this site, maybe this can help.

It affects me as well. Completely random. Everything appears fine except that instead of blue, the icons are grey. Turning off wifi and turning it back on fixes it.
In the link above, there is a comment where you can submit more info for Google to help solving the problem:

the weird thing is, it just started happening about 2 weeks ago. It was perfectly fine up until then. Never had an issue with Wi-Fi. If this don't work i might try doing an entire wipe right back to stock and locking bootloader.
Hi all,
Not been around for a long time so its great to be back
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'm not currently looking to Root/Unlock/Flash anything.
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?
.. sorry just saw my solution doesn't help you and I don't know how to delete a reply...
but anyway, have you tried to close all apps on your phone?

my wifi works great too .. what rom do you use? latest .757 ? download .761 or 757 FTF and try to flash via flashtool .. No need to unlock bootloader or root, but you will lose some data if you don`t make any backup
you have a software problem there ..

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

Just update to 14.4.A.0.108. It's also stock, official. You do not loose data while updating and it takes merely 10 minutes of "sitting back and relaxing"
As for wifi issue, did you try disabling wifi optimization fetaure found in advanced settings?

Have to be honest,
I got that fedup with all the issues on the phone, I sold it and bought an iPhone.
(Waits to be shot).
However I must say, iPhones feel very nice nowadays, nice and snappy etc.
But yeah, I'll still be hanging around these forums helping people out etc,

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:

Happens to the best of us
Got rid of my Z1C, and got an iPhone (SHOOT ME NOW).
I just couldn't get past the myriad of issues.
Hopefully someone here can advise me on this issue I have been getting with my Nexus 5x and using chrome but issue also happens in youtube. Note I have not setup my phone with a SIM yet, just been testing out the phone features and Android 6.0
When connected to my home networtk chrome and youtube work fine but every now and then the web page loading seems to stall in chrome, and then i watch the wifi signal disconnect and then reconnect and then the web page will load, but before it does i get the error message
dns_probe_finished_no_internet and sometimes its ERR name not resolved or ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED or similar inside chrome.
it seems to recover after about 30secs and then i have full wifi again. it just keeps happening This seems to be random at the moment but is consistent. My home network is pretty solid and all my other devices work fine and do not exhibit this issue, my wifi is solid.
I have done all the usual forget network, wipe system cache and static IP etc. nothing makes a difference. can anyone shed some light what might be causing this?
thanks
Did you manage to solve the problem? I got my phone last week and I am having the exact same problem.
I should mention that I am on stock unrooted and using At&t network. I checked the wifi connection from my older phone lg optimus g and it seems to be fine. It keeps on disconnecting and reconnecting on my 5x though and I think that is draining the battery faster than anything else. My top two battery uses are android system and android os rather than sceeen.
Do you think it is a hardware problem?

Have the same problem with mine after one week's use. Was fine until this morning.
On hold with warranty service now and will be getting a replacement.
Don't wait, use the warranty.

Any luck getting rid of the problem? I even factory reset my phone but the problem is still there. My problem is also global, not just in chrome. I think that there is a problem with the wifi of the phone. I do not want to root and install a new kernel as of yet. Just want to stay on the stock rom.
What did the warranty service say? Is this a common problem with the 5x? I would rather not RMA if the problem can be solved by some other means. I put on the screen protector so well. Don't want to do it all over again lol.
Also, is Android OS on the top of the list in battery drain? It is for me and I think the wifi connecting and disconnecting prevents the phone from sleeping.

<----------------->
Tried everything, reset network connections and then tried a complete reset and attempted new setup but the wifi was too flaky to complete the setup. Since the problem happened while I was using the phone I was not able to observe the effect on battery life. I would imagine it would take a big hit trying to connect and failing continuously.
Did this before calling Google so I wouldn't have to do this while on the phone. Warranty Service did not mention any ongoing problem with the wifi.
Am setting up the replacement currently. I'll save rooting, etc. until I've used the phone for a good while.
Bite the bullet and send it back. It's not going to heal itself.

oops sorry I should have said im in the UK, dont worry il find it. Can I ask is your replacement phone working correctly now, no wifi drop outs as before? if so what version of marshmallow are you on?
I've only been using it about 8 hours but no problems so far. The phone updated to 6.0.1 during the initial setup.
You can find the phone # for the UK by using a 'Contact Us' link in the Devices Store on Google Play.
ok so I seem to have fixed this issue been having and it turns out the phone itself is fine. The issue was with 2.4Ghz wifi networks. There are quite a few in my local area and there is probably a lot of cross talk on channels. So i setup a 5GHz network and my n5x seems rock solid since ive connected to that. no one single drop out all day! speeds are also much faster im getting 150MB download speed on wifi lol...
i changed nothing else on my phone just for the record. hope this maybe also helps someone else

I think I have an issue with the college wifi as well. I asked my friends who are using the same wifi network and their phones also do not seem to remain connected. I thought that it was an issue with my phone but I guess it is not.
To test that, I connected my phone to my college wifi all night and when I woke up in the morning, more than 20% battery had been used probably because of disconnecting and reconnecting continuously. The next night, I connected to some other wifi and there was less than 3 or 4% drop in battery overnight.
I hope they upgrade the college wifi as the battery drain is very annoying.

Had WiFi dropouts on every LG ROM on this device.
It would drop on any WiFi network I tried. My old phone and all other devices have no issues at all.
Bit the bullet and unlocked bootloader and went to CM13, rock solid WiFi now. IMO LG's software is borked.

Right now there is only one way: LG Developer program.
I think that is problem with 6.0
My network is ipv4 and i think phone force ipv6. In developer options have option to use lollipop settings but i think that is not doing any better
There was an issue with Verizon 12B that was recalled with similar issues.
Never had Wi-Fi issues otherwise. It was patched in 13B

Same with me on 20a... wifi connects but there's no internet connectivity. Then it comes good for a while but eventually drops the wifi connection completely. Sometimes it forgets the wifi password and I have to re-enter it. Makes the phone essentially useless on wifi. A factory reset seems to be the next step unless anyone has any other suggestions?
Same problem on 20b
The WiFi problem seems to have settled down for me now. I went on a binge of uninstalling and reinstalling apps, cleared all app caches, rebooted several times, and recited some incantations (mostly beginning with f). I haven't spent a lot of time using it on WiFi but it seems a lot more stable. Will keep an eye on it and see how it goes.
I came back to a stock based ROM from CM13 because the lack of camera functionality and all my WiFi dropouts are back again. This is really disappointing with this phone as it is completely random and none of my other phones/devices have ever had problems like this. End of my tether with it to be honest, this phone will be going on eBay at this rate.
Well I've been running catlog tonight and it didn't take long for the WiFi to blip.
If there are any catlog experts out there I would really appreciate it if anyone could have a look to see if there is any indication of what is causing this random disconnection and then reconnect shortly afterwards
Many thanks in advance.
Sorry, can't help with the catlog. But having same problems.
I did 3 hard-resets with always the same result: wifi works fine for 1-2 days, than breaks.
The connection is strong an seems stable but data-throughput and ping times are ugly (0,4 Mb down, ping around 2-3 seconds).
Here's a screenshot that perfectly shows the impact: same phone, same setup, same wifi. just 1 day between the tests.
i.imgur[dot]com/JYI7b9I.jpg (sorry, can not upload pics)
Any ideas how to fix this? a DNS problem?
btw: IPv6 is disabled on the router.
I have the same problem and i found a solution for me. I'm using pebble smartwatch with G4 and i noticed that when i disconnect my watch or turn off bluetooth, wifi stays stable. If you have a bluetooth device like me you can try this method.

I've also had my G4 get into a state where Bluetooth is stopping WiFi from working. I posted a thread about this here. To summarise, I've twice gotten into the state where my WiFi disconnects whenever I put the phone to sleep. When it wakes up, it takes ages to reconnect. Sometimes it fails to authenticate and forgets the password for the WiFi network. Even when it is connected, the connection is very flaky. This only happens when I'm on a 2.4Ghz network and Bluetooth is enabled - if I disable Bluetooth or switch to my 5Ghz network then WiFi is ok.
I've had this happen to me twice now... the first time was straight after the update to MM. I fixed it by uninstalling and reinstalling apps, and eventually it came good. After a few weeks the phone got into that state again. I tried clearing cache, factory reset, and reinstalling MM using the LG Bridge "Update error recovery" option and nothing helped. Once again I went through my apps one by one and uninstalled and reinstalled them and once again the phone came good.
This is a huge pain in the butt... not sure how long the phone will hold out before it gets into this state again. I really hope there's a MM update that addresses this soon.

I've also had my G4 get into a state where Bluetooth is stopping WiFi from working. I posted a thread about this here. To summarise, I've twice gotten into the state where my WiFi disconnects whenever I put the phone to sleep. When it wakes up, it takes ages to reconnect. Sometimes it fails to authenticate and forgets the password for the WiFi network. Even when it is connected, the connection is very flaky. This only happens when I'm on a 2.4Ghz network and Bluetooth is enabled - if I disable Bluetooth or switch to my 5Ghz network then WiFi is ok.
I've had this happen to me twice now... the first time was straight after the update to MM. I fixed it by uninstalling and reinstalling apps, and eventually it came good.

I've noticed my Bluetooth problem in two ways. One of them was connecting a Bluetooth speaker while the watch is connected. When i connected speaker too, wifi had no issues.
And the other situation that i made my wifi stable was going into safe mode. Even Bluetooth on i was able to connect and stay connected to wifi when i was in safe mode.
Which apps did you have to reinstall? Do you remember?

I just started going down my app list and uninstalling apps which looked like they might have something to do with bluetooth, then putting the phone to sleep and waking it up to see if the problem was still there. I got a bit slack and maybe uninstalled two or three at a time before testing. I should have been more systematic about it but I wasn't really expecting it to work. I'm pretty sure the last one I uninstalled before things started working was TuneIn Radio so if you have that installed you might want to try uninstalling it. I've since reinstalled it and WiFi is still working.
I am getting really bad wifi connections and the phone is very slow at browsing refusing to load pages fully. Running Speedtest by Okla says "network communication issues". I get this problem on wifi in public areas and at home. It does not seem consistent. I got so fed up I factory reset the phone. I connected to another wifi router at home and so far everything seems fine. All other devices work fine with public wifi and wifi router at home including Samsung J5 and S4. Any ideas?
Stock rom? Orginal?

original handset bought from John Lewis. 4G has no problems at all just wifi. I'm not sure what the "stock ROM?" question means?

I have sometimes wifi is reconnecting, but most of the time I have a good connection.
I'm having weak wifi reception with the A5. When placed side by side with S4 and S7, the A5 has the weakest wifi signals. Speedtest confirms this as well.
Yeah, definitley weaker reception, i compared to my Htc 820 and Sony m2 aqua and it was pretty weaker all of them are on stock roms.
Well, me too. Weak reception when just a littel away from the router. Randomly loses signal force, can't see any router, then, connect again... It seems to get worse when heavy using internet, like watching YouTube videos... But near the router, everything stays normal... My moto g 2014 never had the problem and I'm in stock rom too...
It strangely seems to be YouTube app who causes problems, because when I stop watching videos the signal force get actually more stable, even full in places it doesn't get full when watching YouTube...
But it still seems to suffer from some instability at its natural... When I tap play in youtube, the signal drops to almost zero...
I would like to know what is happening, because it isn't a cheap phone, and even moto g 2014 has got a better wifi
It also seems that demanding wifi in general causes signal to get weaker... I never saw something like that, signal strength doesn't get affected by use, only bandwidth...
Any other experience?
Similar issue with my A5
I recently bought an A5 2017 aswell and my phone also has HORRENDOUS wifi , not just that but for some reason it would randomly stop reconnecting and stop showing the wifi router or anything and the wifi connectivity doesnt turn on , and then if restart it but it would hang mid restart and then id have to hard reset it by holding the power and volume-down button , and this whole procedure happens like once or twice a day so ita really frustrating. Especially because this is a New phone btw, my wifi is perfe fly fine because i ha ve other technology and have previously used many huawei phones which have perfect connectivity and this was my first experience with Samsung, any help would be much appreciated thankyou !!
I am having the same issue as the person above. Pages will refuse to load until i turn off wifi or refresh the page. There are duplicate posts coming up on facebook. Like 4 or 5 posts repeated before new ones. Twitch constantly buffering. Tried on mine and parents wifi with same result. Both were always and still are fine on my note 4. I have 2 weeks to return it to o2 if its faulty or is it just a phone with bad wifi in general?
Edit: i think the facebook thing might be a facebook issue as its happening on my note 4 too but everything else is specific to my a5.
