Stock 6.0.1 mtc19v, on T-Mobile, july security update, never rooted this handset
I decided to start my own thread because I didn't want to hijack another's.
So here's the problem. Had my 5x for 3 days. And I love it, but it has weird wifi issues. I can't watch YouTube while I'm on wifi but it starts up with no issues while on LTE. Downloading apps and their updates take up to 20 minutes. While it's instant on LTE. Wifi calling is super choppy too. And my 5x occasionally disconnects too.
Everything else works fine on wifi. Chrome is quick, so is feedly.
So I searched here and on Google and many people have the same issue. Some say 6.0.1 was bugged.
Either way I tried all the advice given to others. My router and modem are up do date. I reset them various times. The problem can be replicated on my sister's wifi and my dad's.
Check my phone's APN. Changed to 2.4 and 5ghz bands on the phone. Went back to auto wifi band. Nothing.
Tried safe mode. No dice.
I even wiped. No luck either.
I also tried wiping the data and cache on a few apps, play store being one of them. Can't remember the other two.
Anything else I'm missing or is 6.0.1 really bugged?
Is there a possibility mtc19z has a fix? I haven't received that update yet.
Forgot to mention
I called Nexus tech support. They say it's not a known issue. Project fi's tech support said the same thing.

Try with bluetooth turned on, doesn't need to be connected to anything.
Also try enabling developer options enable the setting to use lollipop dhcp client.
OK I'll give it a shot

OK so far, Bluetooth on does nothing for me. Apps still download slow and wifi calling does nothing.
I'll try the lollipop dhcp tomorrow, with Bluetooth on and off. I'll report then.
Thanks for your advice.

Hi man, the lollipop dhcp didn't work. Tried it with Bluetooth on and off
Last option I can think off.
settings/backup & reset/network settings reset.
After that I would try doing a clean flash with the latest stock image, no apps etc and see what happens.
If that doesn't work I would return it for a new one.

Tried that too. I'm stock never rooted. I've wiped twice already. Nexus support is barely any help. But yeah I'll try for a swap. Thanks.
Well project Fi couldn't help since I don't have their services. LG keeps telling me to call Nexus. Nexus keeps transferring me to project Fi.
I'm just gonna go buy another phone. This hassle isn't worth it.

You should be able to get a new one under warranty from where you brought it.

My N5X has not had any wifi issues, thankfully, but I have had weird wifi issues on other android phones in the past. What has worked for me was to go into my router's settings and use DHCP Reservation to assign a specific IP address to the phone, and to make sure there were no conflicts in the IP assignments of various devices on the network. I also replaced the router's default DNS servers with Google's.
Those two steps have solved my android-related wifi issues in the past. But, again, I haven't had any issues with the N5X so this may or may not help you.

Nexus 5x wifi + Bluetooth.
So couple of years i use it without bluetooth turned on. With some wifi access points phone can't get in deep sleep. Some other access points sending packets to phone.
One day a read about bluetooth "on" options. And surprise, now phone can go deep sleep and dose not have battery drain.
Now i have to keep my bluetooth always on. Was same for android 6,7,8,8.1. with factory reseted.. different kernels dos not help.
Maybe some heard - it is hardware issue? Its go under warranty?

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?

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:

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.
Hey all. I need some advice. This morning my G3 (D850) dropped WiFi connection for no reason. It says the signal is good but the network info says saved, secured. It will attempt to connect over and over again and if it does connect the signal is weak as can be and it drops the connection within 2 seconds. My coworker has a G3 also and is connected to the same work network I am. His connection says excellent where as mine said good. His device connects just fine with full bars. I'm baffled. I've already tried manually selecting 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz instead of auto select and that didn't help at all. I've tried manually turning off WiFi and turning it back on. I've tried turning airplane mode on and then off to refresh the connection and that didn't help. I've done a battery pull as someone in one of the android authority forums suggested that (apparently I am not the only one having this issue.), didn't work. I've unchecked WiFi optimization - no dice. There was another post on a different forum here on XDA that said turning off WiFi and then deleting the WiFi config folder located in data/etc/wifi and then rebooting fixed the issue for them so I tried that. After reboot when I tried to turn on WiFi my G3 rebooted itself. Does it everytime. SO, I had to restore to a nandroid backup (btw I'm on rooted stock 10f) to get the phone to stop hating my WiFi toggle attempts. Last ditch effort I did a factory reset hoping for an easy fix... Nope. I don't know what else to try. It was fine yesterday all day. This morning it was perfectly fine and then randomly started having this issue. I haven't altered any system files whatsoever. I really don't want to send my device to LG for warranty replacement so I'm hoping someone can help me out that may have had this issue and resolved it. The only difference between my device and my coworkers device is he is still on 10d and I am on 10f. That could be the issue I guess but that doesn't really explain why my device has been perfectly fine until this morning and I've been on rooted 10f for weeks. I am planning on flashing back to straight bone factory stock 10d when I get home here in a few hours from work but Idk if that will help or not. Judging from the amount of google search results of "LG G3 WiFi connection problems" this seems to be an issue for several people. I won't know if it's on the software side or hardware side until I get home but in the meantime has anyone had these issues at all? People have had success in changing to Static IP but I would have to do that for every connection I attempt to connect to and that's a pain in the a$$. Also, that does nothing to identify the root cause of the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. =)

Thanks for the reply. So it turned out my phone just randomly decided it doesn't like my work network anymore. Idk why lol. I got home and it hooked right into WiFi. Gf's WiFi and open networks as well. I call shenanigans. I went ahead and flashed back to 10d anyway though.

I am having the same issue! But it is happening in other networks too...sometimes I get the phone to connect but it only works for a while and when I check the networks it only says Saved, even if I try to connect again
Having the same issue, whether at work or home, my wifi has become near useless. I've even gone as far as trying a different ROM. Didn't work.
Same thing here
I also have tried factory reset, installed a new ROM, changed settings in my router... but the problem remains I don't know what to do anymore, I use wifi a lot!! I searched through other topics but no one seem to know how to solve it. Unfortunately my warranty already expired, I took my phone to some technicians but honestly it didn't help at all...they all said it was a software bug and I should wait for an update but if it was just that a new ROM would fix it,right?
I am not very familiar with phone hardware but I assume that if it was a hardware problem I wouldn't be able to turn it on or connect to any network, right?? (any experts here???)
Any solution is welcomed.
anyone please?? :crying:
P.S : I tried a new baseband, new kernel and new ROMs. So far, nothing changed.
I can connect sometimes but get kicked out within minutes. At other times I only get the saved,secured message.
This is happening in every network
I have installed v20b, everything works fine except WiFi: after sometime the connection just doesnt work and i have to turn off and on again the WiFi. This just happened to me at least 10 times

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 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.
So i have noticed that while i am on wifi for example the videos on instagram take a while to load, this is kind of crazy because i am on fios 5G internet on wifi. Im coming from iphone so i know there was an option on iPhones that chose to give more prescedence that if you were connected to wifi it used the internet from that then the provided one from T-mobile for example. So my questions is, has this happened to anyone else? Or is there any other solution to this?
I've been experiencing the same issue since the time I purchased the device and I'm yet to come across any particular solution. A workaround that I've found is disconnecting the wifii, reconnecting it and then rebooting the device. It starts to work normally after doing those 3 things for at least a day.
I had the problem too. My router was having issues with ipv6 firewalls and only the 5ghz had issues. I solved mine by downloading a VPN app. I'm using NoRoot Firewall and everything works fine now.

FWIW: #9 can't work. There's no option in stock recovery to wipe cache partition.
Wow this is ridiculous man for paying about $1,100 for this phone, these issues shouldnt even be there to begin with.
Try disabling wifi scanning?

where do you find that? but even if so im connected to wifi already why would the phone be searching for additional access points?
Settings -> location -> scanning (three dots on the top right).
I think it scans for other wifi in the area to help pinpoint your location (not sure how google does it).
So, I noticed my pixel 3 xl WiFi is disconnecting frequently.
It's connected to a secure 5Ghz band.
I did reset network, updated to November update
My other devices are properly connected and never had an issue. My S8 has never had this issue.
I did forget WiFi and tried again. It's only pixel 3 xl that's doing that.
I am not rooted and bootloader is locked..

I'm noticing the same thing. Can't narrow it down. Are you using any of those VPN based ad blockers?

Nope, no VPN either.
I was just using Chrome connected to my TV the first gen. And it randomly disconnected again.
I did complete factory reset too. Same thing.
I'm having this same issue. When connected to WiFi, things typically work for a few seconds, then they go to hell. It's intermittent, and it never works for longer than a minute.
In my household there a Pixel 2 XL, S9+, LG V20, and this Pixel 3 XL. All phone's, game consoles, laptops, security cameras, and even guest phone's work fine, but not the Pixel 3 XL. It does the same crap on my works WiFi too.
When I first setup the phone, I transferred data from my old phone. It took 22 hours to complete whatever tasks it had to complete when the transfer was done. That turned out to be the start of my wifi issues.
I've factory reset, reset network settings, deleted all sorts of caches, tried other networks, different network settings, even tried removing my case, and bought a new router. Nothing works...
I'm also having disconnect issues. One of the Pixel's wi-fi connection issues FAQs suggested resetting the wireless router to see if that cleared things up. I tried that after forgetting & re-establishing the connection didn't help. It made a substantial improvement, but it did not eliminate them. Obviously something else is going on.
Mine seems ok. The only disconnects I ever experience are my XBOX One disconnecting in the middle of games...

I tried this too with no improvements. I dont think this is a good solution though since my wifi doesnt work on any network i try. I work for a fairly large company, getting them to reset the hundreds of routers they have would definitely not work!
I had the issue too and read somewhere that turning on Bluetooth would stabilize the WiFi connection.
I tried it and it works for me.
I don't consider it a solution, but it might be a usable workaround for you.
I too have been encountering the issue with WiFi disconnecting. That said I only know it is happening due to picking up my phone and apps connected to my smart home report no connections. The phone has reconnected to WiFi but the apps are not recovering.
I am not using VPN ad blocking and my Bluetooth is on.
My Bluetooth is never off, but some devices use the same piece of hardware for both so I've done the opposite and shut it off to see if that might fix it and there's no difference whether Bluetooth is on or off.
Thanks for posting a new idea though!
Same problem here but only with AVM Fritz WLAN products. Access points from other companys work without problem.
Wi-Fi disconnects every few minutes, switches to mobile and immediately reconnects.
AVM Support say that they have tested it with one of the employees Pixel 3XLs and it's working without problems.
Google replaced my device but same issue with the new one.
I tried flashing the very first Factory Image and it has the same problem. And with Q the problem exists too.
I was able to find a solution for me. It was caused by AFWall+.
I uninstalled it and installed new beta 3.2. Setting everything by hand and now the disconnects are gone ?
