Hi,
I found no similar thread, only one with wifi issues while bluetooth is turned on. Since a few weeks my wifi disconnects all the time and is very slow. It does not matter if bluetooth is turned or turned off. After the update to Android pie it was definitely working for some time. I tried a factory reset without success. I did not test a different router but this can't be the issue. All other devices are working great. At the moment my phone is unusable at home. I have to turn off the mobile data because it disconnects every few seconds and uses my mobile data... My device is stock and not rooted (my first one since a very long time...). I found a few articals on other pages but without any solution. I waited for the april update but it did not fix anything for me

Ever since upgrading to the rooted, stock OTA ROM, my wifi has basically been unable to connect. I got it to connect a couple of times, but only for a very short while (possibly until I turned the phone off). Prior to this rom, it would automatically connect within a minute of arriving at one of the sites where I had wifi configured. All of the networks are properly configured--it just won't stay connected. It starts to, and then goes back to disconnected.
I have never had any problems with the wifi on this phone, with any ROM.
Is there a trick to getting it back up and running again? Is there a different kernel fo rthe new OTA that will fix it? I've searched and found others with the same problem, but haven't found a solution.
Thanks,
Dave
I got my Nexus yesterday and already noticed some problems with the wifi (before installing anything). When I turn on my wifi it works for some seconds, but when I start using it some more, my wifi stops working. I have to reset my wifi and it will work again for some seconds. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
I also have a HTC HD2 with android on it, and I haven't had any problems with the wifi on that device.
P.S. I already unchecked 'avoid poor connections'.
No problems for me, my GNex seems to connect faster than my Xoom or DX.
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

try to reset your phone it should help and backup before i am also on v20b and no problems with wifi on my phone till now (upgraded and factory reseted)
I did it before flashing the rom because i was on cm13, dont think that another reset can help :/

I do have this on IEEE 802.1X networks only. Also on Android 5.1. This seems to be regardless of root/no root.

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.

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.
Anyone facing this issue
Does anyone know any fix
Yes mines the same, wifi works fine for a short amount of time then disconnects, after it cuts out goto wifi settings and all I see is scanning and no wifi devices. only way I can get wifi working again is a reboot but then I get disconnecting again after short period of time!
EDIT: I would just like to add until I updated to nougat yesterday I've never experienced this issue and I did a master reset straight after installing nougat.
I am having this same problem. Any fix for this?
Same thing here. It happened to me after the first night. I thought maybe something was corrupted after the upgrade, so I did a full factory reset yesterday morning. Everything worked fine until I got up this morning. Looks like something over the course of the night causes this to start.
Things I've tried without success:
- factory reset
- rebooting
- removing and re-adding wifi network
- tested all other devices in the house (no other device is having an issue)
- tried both 2.4 and 5ghz networks (issue is affecting both)
UPDATE: After a few hours, I turned wifi back on yesterday, and it's been working fine since. I made no changes to the phone.
Faced same problem with developer preview
Before the official release of Android 7.0 I installed two Android beta preview, 3 and 5, and had the same issue I uninstalled the previews and had no problems with version 6.1. I hoped that this would be fixed with the official version but It wasn't, Im still facing the same problems with wifi disconnecting.
Edit: When I had the previews the only way that the phone would seem to remain connected was to go into the router options and change the client lease time. I never fully tested this because I uninstalled the previews within a couple of days. I guess I'm going to have to test it this time.

Maybe this thread could help you guys, didn't try, and as it is for nexus 5, do every operation carefully.
Flashed back to 6 as the WiFi issue was unbearable, working perfectly fine again now. I was also getting major battery drain on 7.0.
Hi
I found a strange solution working for me. I had bluetooth disabled, since I have enabled bluetooth today, 5 GHz connection is stable - Pls test it and update. And pls don't ask me, why these two protocols are in any way related...

Didn't work for me.
This problem had disappeared for weeks and then started rearing its head again yesterday although I had made no changes to my phone. For the record, it's happening on both frequencies for me.
Last time, the issue magically disappeared. After it didn't go away over night, I restarted my router this morning, and now it's working fine.
To clarify, I don't think it's router related, though. I have an R7000 that's working perfectly with all other phones and other devices in the house. It's the same router the 5x was connected to before Nougat started causing these issues.
Apparantly 7.1 solves the issue

Hey guys. I'm having a very weird WiFi issue on my A520F.
Today the WiFi froze. It wouldn't turn off when I switched it off. After I while it turned off but took ages to turn it on again.
I factory reseted the device because I thought it was a software issue. It didn't work - after the first boot it was the same.
After a while after this, the WiFi started working again, but only for a period of time, then it would just freeze again for apparently no reason. Switching it off and on solves the issue for a while, then it freezes again saying that my WiFi is limited.
I can't take any logs since I'm not rooted (and don't have a PC to use ADB), and this is really scaring me since it happened out of nowhere. An hour before this started happening WiFi was working just fine.
I haven't installed anything unusual today, just connected for the first time on a new, but trusted, WiFi.
I've also reseted my WiFi router to its factory settings, thinking that it could be the issue, but the problem persisted. My Chromecast works just fine on the very same network.
Did this happened to anyone before? I've tried to root my phone a while back and, since it didn't worked out, I gave up and flashed the latest firmware from my country. This phone originally came with German firmware in it and I flashed it to a Brazilian one, which is the one I'm using and had no issues so far.
Can this be a hardware issue?
Thanks in advance!
So I guess I'll end up solving this on the weirdest way I can imagine.
After I posted I logged into my modem's settings and took a log at its logs. Seems that the moment this issue started to happen was near the time that the DNS server my modem was using started to fail.
I never thought that such a simple thing could mess this things like this. I mean, the DNS server is essential, but how that could freeze my phone's WiFi? Either way, I changed the DNS to Google's DNS and since then I haven't had any freeze or disconnetion. I'll test a bit more to see if the problem is gone.
Well, I do believe that I found the root of the problem.
As some of you may know, modems tend to stay on for a very long period of time (no one wants to lose internet connection, so we rarely reboot then), and for reasons I don't know (and as a tech support guy I've seen this happen A LOT) they freeze sometimes and only work again after being completely turned off and on.
Since the issue started again when I was messing with the modem settings (trying to change the DNS again to see if the problem would return), I decided to give my modem a few minutes of rest.
After that, I've powered it on again and went through the initial setup (my ISP provides an simple wizard when you first connect to the WiFi) and up until now I'm not having issues.
I'll wait a few more hours to report again, but so far so good.
So it seems that giving those things a few minutes rest every month or so isn't a bad thing at all.
