Hi all, Im having a problem that is slowly driving me insane for the past 2 weeks. I surely cant be the only one. Anyway, I generally move between home and work daily, both have WIFI. When Im at home Im connected, all fine. I travel to work, WIFI isnt connected, again this is normal. I get into work and when I expect it be connected to WIFI it isnt, WIFI is off and I have to manually turn it back on to get it connected to WIFI again. Why do I have to do this? Why have all my other Android devices just worked normally and reconnect to known networks. Its soooo frustrating
Anyone have same problem or have a resolution?

What rom?What settings in phone wifi?
Both Stock rom, with and without the volume fix, and Modaco MCR4. Wifi settings are set as WIFI on even during sleep.
Is there some settings Im missing somewhere other than in Settings > Wireless & Netowrks > Wifi ??

Nope these are the settings.The strange thing for me is that your wifi turns off automatically
Try going to advanced WIFI settings and disable 'Avoid poor connections'

Yep. Try that. Only thing I can think of. My wifi was flaky with that setting on even 4 from my router. If that doesn't solve are you using any kind of task managing àpp?

I have posted this in other people's threads in regards to poor wifi reception. I recently purchased a 9250 through bell canada and have the same problem.
I have turned off the 'avoid poor connections' as well. It turns on and off on its own and can't get through a download of more then 5MB on wifi.
It will also reconnect on its own if I have left wifi turned on. I would say while WIFI is turned on I may actually be connected 30% of the time. This is 90% in 2 feet away from a router.
I'm having the same issue (wifi turning itself off) - noticed it the other day and just assume I'd caught the wi-fi button (I use extended controls). Happened again this morning and also just now as I got home.
I've not modded anything on my Nexus (4.0.1) - avoid poor connections has been disabled for a while.
I may test the theory, but betweek home and work is a wifi enabled bus journey, I never use it but it always tells me there's a wifi available. I might turn wifi notification off and see it if turns itself off before I get to work in the morning...
Left home with wifi on... Got to work and wifi was off? Wtf?
Could it be extended controls?

You are not the only one, it's happening to me in exactly the same scenario. Oddly enough it hasn't happened today.
i cant make out of your post thast the wifi on/off button turns of? or just the connection to the wifi adres?
i dont know about any sleep or auto turn of policy's as i didnt try it(i always turn off my wifi when travling)
but if its the last thing.
than the problem might not even be the GN.?
but the router it self.
even computer's and laptopt can have problems when the password is too long,or to different(hard characters like :';/.m,[email protected]#$%^&**(() ][ )
it might also be the MHZ setting,as the 20MHZ has wider range but can be disorted by machines like microwaves.
but the 40MHZ has lower range but wouldnt be disorted.
as there is also the channel option thats has been set wrong/or the pasword encryption. or any other router conflicting with the router you want to connect.
it might also be the router not liking your GN.(as my spica doesnt conect to my router at home,but all my other devices do.my router doesnt want to give a IP to my spica.)
It just happened to me again now, left the office whilst wifi was on and connected. Grabbed some lunch and returned (about 20 mins) and now my wifi button is set to off and I need to set it back to on.

Are there any policiys or settings for auto off?
you might also want to look into the power setting's,might be a power save feature.
And you are running stock? or??

Can't see any policy settings or any power save features. Running stock.
somehow I have fixed it. Problem is I don't know how.
Here is what I did in case anyone else needs help;
*From the 'My Vodafone' app, select wi-fi finder, in settings untick 'Enable BT Openzone'
*Settings, wi-fi, advanced, untick 'Network Notification', untick 'Avoid poor connections'
Not sure which of the above actually fixes it but my Wi-Fi has been on for about 1 1/2 days now.
Have you or when did you upgrade to 4.0.2? As the changelog mentions a wifi fixed. Only upgraded this morning so won't see if it has worked until I get home...

So I am still having this problem since day one. I have travelled through 3 countries and multiple cities and tried to use WIFI in at least 20+ different instances and the problem is the same.
It connects right away (really quickly actually) will stay connected for a bit then eventually loses connection.
I can't download any of the big packages for the games and so I can't play them. I won't use my data connection for anything over 100mb.
I got a message for an update yesterday. Updated the phone but I see no difference in the Android version number.
Anything happening with this?
I thought the update i was downloading was 4.0.2 but i guess it wasn't.
I am familar with updating and flashing from the galaxy s. But I want to use the phone completely stock for while.
I have just returned my nexus for a replacement. Lets see how it goes.
So far I have had the power shut off once while toggling the wifi widget (never happened on my other phone). And the wifi has disconnected twice. I have just done the update (not 4.0.2) and it seems to work a little better.
Called samsung yesterday after getting the replacement phone when it had the same issue (just as a reminder I have tried it on numerous routers/ap's) and they said they hadn't heard of the issue.
I said I was just calling to provide some feedback. They told me to return the phone yet again. I obviously believe I don't have a problem with the hardware at all. I figured if store let me return it, then why not.
Anyway onto my 3rd one today and the exact same problem.
I think that even though I am turning off "Avoid Poor Connections" it isn't actually turning that 'feature' off. Every so often and only if your watching the wifi settings it will say that it disconnected the wifi connection due to low signal.
Mind you all of this is 1' from my router while sitting at my computer. My galaxy S is sitting beside me and has maintained a wireless link to the router the entire time.
Hey Guys,
Moved from the original pixel to the S9. On the pixel you could turn on WiFi calling through an option on the phone dialer. I can't see the same option on this dialer. Went into Vodafone and they told me that the phone defaults to WiFi calling when the signal is poor. Is this the case or am I being fobbed off? Making calls is really poor when in my house.
Cheers
It needs to be switched on in Connections/WiFi calling in Settings.
i believe it only works it the phone is bought from Vodafone - i know i asked them once and said only Vodafone phones can do wi-fi calling
Bobbed into three today to ask about it even unlocked handsets should have the Wi-Fi calling option she said wait for the samsung update which is out on Friday so hopefully all handsets follow suit

This seems to be carrier dependant. With a three SIM I do it see the option but I can if I switch to an EE one.

I have wifi calling available on my s9 plus which I bought direct from Samsung, go to the dialer, click the 3 dots in the top right corner. Then select settings, scroll to the bottom and you will see the wifi calling option which can be toggled on or off
It's not on mine I'm on three UK but on BTU handset
I'm hoping the update on Friday will give me the option
Sent from my SM-G965F using XDA Premium HD app
Ok so here's the kicker...the option appeared and I turned it on. Since then I have factory reset my phone (massive battery drain). Upon booting back up the option had disappeared again. Spoken to Vodafone and they have disabled and enabled it in my account but still no option to turn it on on my phone. Also got the march security update last night and still no option. This is driving me crazy
I've also got an S9 direct from Samsung (BTU), on Vodafone UK
- I'm assuming because they allowed WiFi calling on the S6, S7 and S9 with non-Vodafone firmware, that they'll allow it on the S9. It's the only thing I really need.
I hate carrier firmware, but would flash for WiFi calling as my signal at home is rubbish - I flashed my S8 on Three to get WiFi calling and VoLTE. But I'm a bit scared to flash the S9 on Vodafone in case I get the German CSC issue crop-up (does anyone know exactly what conditions cause this to happen?)
I'm not actually too fussed about VoLTE on Vodafone as their 3G signal is pretty strong everywhere (apart from at my house!), but with Three VoLTE was vital to get a reliable signal in a lot of places.
What is this update on Friday (today?) - is this confirmed or is this just something that the Vodafone staff (or Three?) are fobbing people off with? First I've heard of it.
And it's gone again...trying to explain to the "technical" guys at the call centre results in me losing my temper and them supposedly ringing me back in 1 hours time because it will be fixed... Seriously getting p****d off!!!
Any further news on this?
I've got the toggle set to on, but still no wifi calling (just says not connected to network when trying to phone). I have also noticed the toggle switch appear and disappear at will - normally restarting the phone gets it back
So I'm guessing the only "fix" is to flash the three firmware on it?

Hi, i checked the Three website and the s9 doesn't yet show as compatible for Three wifi calling, i'm assuming that when they do it'll get enabled via a carrier settings update or something for unlocked phones (my unlocked iPhone worked this way).
For a list of the compatible handsets got to the website, not sure what the rules are about posting links so search for 'three wifi calling' and it's the top result in google.
True it doesn't list them, but upon speaking with three they state the device is supported for WiFi calling, but only if purchased directly through three. Reason for this is the device them comes with there carriers software to enable the feature.

Ah thanks, in that case it's false hope for me and i'm now completely stuck! really don't want to flash firmware.....
I'm on O2 and what they have you do is download My O2. Select the option to enable 4G and WiFi calling and it checks compatibility and activates it within 24 hours. Then follow the guide in this thread to enable WiFi calling.
The only problem is I can't tell if it's working or not. It does appear that the line is open longer. My current router doesn't provide the depth required to monitor traffic on devices connected to it. Annoying.
There seems to be a software issue with the s9 and wifi calling. For me, its available (Icon shows in taskbar) , then next minute it's gone. After a reboot it comes back. I made a wifi call when I saw the icon again, and it switched to 4g mid call and the icon didn't come back again until after yet another reboot. It always bombs out pretty quickly after a reboot. I woke up this morning and saw the icon return on it's own this time (hadn't rebooted since last night) only for it to then disappear yet again. It's very buggy. Got an iphone here too which annoyingly works flawlessly with wifi calling so it's not an issue with my router.
Wifi calling
I just pull my notification panel down all the way and wifi calling is just there I'm assuming you have to be connected to use it. It would be good if it was able to use wifi signals while you were out without having to be connected. Touch wood my calls have been good so I only use it at home when phone reception is not as strong

On a U.K. DUOs model on O2 WiFi calling is fine.
Do remember the phone is a bit picky about the WiFi network and at some places just wont enable it.

Yesterday I noticed something unusual. Somehow the internet connection on my computer was unstable. It took a while until I figured out why:
Everytime I turn the Wi-Fi on my Pixel on and it connects to my network, the router crashes. Not always instantaneously, but inevitably.
As long as I keep the Wi-Fi turned off, everything is fine.
It does resemble an issue which plagued the Pixel in December last year, also letting routers (especially mesh networks) crash.
So my question is: Did anybody find a fix for that issue back then? Because Google apparently didn't fix this or patched it back.
Interesting. I have been having WIFI issues at home where the wireless freezes but my wired connection is fine. It doesn't happen all the time, but can happen 1-4 times per week. What internet provider/router do you have? I'm on Cox with a router provided by them.
Honestly I have no idea how to troubleshoot my issue.
I actually have a TP-link archer c5400 and have been having wifi crashes as well. thought it was a google home issue but that was apparently fixed. Still getting crashes. starting to think its my pixel too
I have this too. Asus AC66U router with updated firmware. Pixel 2 XL causes everything to drop - wifi, lan - and it won't come back until I turn off wifi on the phone. Today I installed Beta Google Play services which supposedly should fix the problem so will test this afternoon.
Exact same issues here with my new XL 2.
I resolved it by switching off the dual band on my router and just using 2.4.
Been fine since I did that.

The router has been regularly updated. I experienced the lost of WiFi connection before and after the update.
This is some of the error I fetched from log when my Pixel was kept losing the WiFi connection:

Just wanted to report that I had the same problem with my Pixel 2 Xl and my ASUS RT-AC68U router running on its stock up-to-date firmware. My different Chromecast devices and my Google Home would lose connection to the router and appear as "linked devices" that are unavailable (and would require to be turned off and on to reconnect).
What fixed it for me? Using the Asuswrt-Merlin firmware https://asuswrt.lostrealm.ca/
Not a single problem yet since I did it
Pixel 2 crashes Asus router using 802.11ac 5G
I wish Google would fix this!
All the latest patches and firmware on phone and router. Pixel 2 connects via 802.11ac 5G and router goes offline immediately, losing even wired connections.
After many hours of screwing around with this I finally deleted the Pixel 2 802.11ac 5G profile and kept the slower 802.11n 2G profile intact, which does not seem to have any compatibility issues with this router. It does suck to use slower connection, but it's better than the alternative.
Update: The 802.11n 2G connection from Pixel 2 also crashes the router, so I deleted it now too.

Simple fix is to buy an expensive router next time
This issue is your phone checking multicast for google home devices and if any media is playing back. This was reported back a while ago and many companies have pushed FW to update their newer routers. If you have an older router, maybe nows the time to upgrade as you can get a fairly cheap one for 50-100.
Google WiFi works great.
I wouldn't call Asus AC66U a cheap router but it's still happening.
Any way we could manually block those multicast packets on a router software?

I can confirm that the moment my Pixel 2 connects on 5G, the router resets. Temporary workaround has been to turn off the 5G radio.

Holy Crap! Worked for me too. It's been driving me nuts! Thank you for this!
Same problem here Bro. Using AC66R and a Oneplus 6. No luck with this. I update my firmware and tryed to disable IPV6 option, but doesnt work...
I just got this phone yesterday and so far I just cannot get it to stay connected to my network. No other devices are having this problem. It basically just seems to constantly connect and disconnect from the wifi and also seems to constantly search for other connections as well. I've tried factory reset, cache clearing(which never works as it just red triangle error's me), reset the router, tried to change settings in phone itself but nothing seems to fix it and it's making it impossible to use at home. Anyone have any suggestions?
Same thing here. I went in and turned off all the wifi in battery power saving exclusions. Ain't been home long enough to try though.
I'm having this same issue! My prior daily (S9+) didn't have this issue, and my Pixel 2XL doesn't have this issue. I could be right next to the router and it still does this. Doesn't seem to matter if I'm at home, work, parents house, or a cafe, it still randomly loses connection. Same with my Gear S3. Just randomly loses connection. It's pretty annoying, and I hope they offer a software fix. Yes, I factory reset the phone and it still occurs.
I noticed this only with the 5 GHz band... I will contact LG about it today...
Yeah, I'm having the same issue. My router broadcasts both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz on the same SSID. Last I'd heard, Android wouldn't connect to 5 GHz in that circumstance, and my G7 appears to continue that trend.
But it still disconnects from the network all the time.
Sadly I have the same issue. I have different SSID for 2.4 and 5Ghz band, and as devil_tear says it's fails only with the 5ghz band. I did a factory reset but issue stills there.
Did you found a fix for this issue?
Had the same problem. Solved by enabling wifi on the battery saving power exclusions in the battery menu.

Had the same problem, was burning through my 4G data at a rate much faster than on my Google Pixel.
So far, adding wifi to the power saving exclusion has seemed to fix the issue. Thank you!

Great suggestion
Tried the suggestion here for adding WiFi to exclusion. WiFi on 5ghz still disconnects and reconnects every few seconds. Only way to keep it connected is putting it on 2.4ghz.
Tried the suggestion with reboots, factory reset, adding WiFi to exclusion and then connecting to the network. My g7 will just not work with it.

Have seen this also, in my case it happens when I am a bit far from the router, it may be the router not having a strong stable connection so the phone see it doesn't have internet. In the points I experience that I have a 5Ghz connection of 0-2Mb but I have maybe 2 bars of connection. Share your opinions to try to understand the problems.

For me I would say it happens more if I have 2-3 bars but nonetheless it happens even 3ft away from the router eventually. what's odd is my note 5 stays connected, my computer, and other phone stay connected on the 5ghz band. All these devices are in the same location so I'm pretty dumbfounded especially considering this is a newer phone than the note 5 lol. I hope it can be fixed with an ota update

I have the same issues. I sent back the first phone for a replacement thinking it was the issue. When the second phone arrived it was working perfectly and then it happened again.
I noticed this happened after I took whatever software update was offered. I went as far to switch providers with different equipment (fibe to cable) but same result.
Made specific 2.4ghz SSID for LG G7 and no issues.
I've never seen this happen. And my laptop and LG are using the same 5 ghz signal.
I think I remember the G6 doing this though

Just came back from my dad's house and I know it's a short test, however he has an Archer a7 connected after his dedicated provided box. I wonder if that can fix the issue?
I have the same issue.
it connects to 2.4Ghz networks fine but the range is very limited when I move to another room wifi reception decreases a lot. However my wife`s S9+ and my oneplus 6 works fine.
Main problem is when I connect to 5Ghz network it starts disconnecting and reception is even worse than 2.4Ghz. S9 and Oneplus connection is still fine at 5Ghz
I tried to change the 5ghz channels on the router but no luck and I exclude the WIFI from battery saving apps still didn`t work.
I have to use 2.4Ghz and the reception is not as good as other phones
Wifi seems stable for me, except wifi calling. That would crash at connection or even mid-call sometimes. I'd have to reboot to make or receive another call. Some sort of server error. Turned off wifi calling and no issues yet. Didn't notice Ed it anyway since 4g is really strong here.
After the newest update on my phone, taken today Oct 4th, 2018/my random WiFi disconnects haven't been happening at all on 5ghz. Also, the signal is about 3 bars larger now in the same location it used to be dropping out constantly. Hopefully it stays this way.

I was coming in to report something similar. I've got the US T-Mo version and just got the G710TM10K update yesterday.
WiFi stability has massively improved. Disconnects are almost completely nonexistent now. I haven't noticed that the signal bar is behaving any differently, but that doesn't mean a whole lot. The update was fairly large (over 400 MB), so I could see new firmware playing a role.
Could anyone still on G710TM10G post their data from Software Info to check if the baseband has been updated? Here's mine from 10K:

I recently updated my Verizon Galaxy S9 to the Android Pie release. I had previously been using WiFi calling on my home network, but once I updated to the Pie release it no longer works. In fact, despite lots of interaction with Verizon support, I have been unable to even access the settings to enable WiFi calling. They simply are not there. Are others seeing this? Does WiFi calling work with Android Pie on Verizon?
Thanks,
Craig

In fact, despite lots of interaction with Verizon support, I have been unable to even access the settings to enable WiFi calling. They simply are not there. Are others seeing this? Does WiFi calling work with Android Pie on Verizon?
Thanks,
Craig

I am wondering the same thing. After updating to Pie last night, my S9+ no longer has the WiFI calling feature.
Wi-Fi calling would help out big time since our cell tower strength is very low at my house. I hope this isn't Verizon's way of them forcing people to purchase their mobile extenders.
The Verizon support rep certainly seemed to believe it should have been there. To the point that she declared my phone has a manufacturing defect and shipped out a "new" one. I guess I will see if that one behaves any differently. Like you, I'm on the edge of the coverage and WIFI calling has been helpful for battery life.

Craig - I think I have some good news! To enable WiFi calling, go to your Phone app, then click on the menu on the top right hand corner and choose Settings. "Wi-Fi Calling" is shown on this screen.

Well, how 'bout that. Too bad that the VZW representative didn't know that! It would have saved a bunch of time.
except it doesnt turn on for me on my note 9 it just trys and says unable to at this time . The only way I can get mine on is to turn on airplane mode then turn on wifi , then try to call someone and turn on wifi from there. But after I take it out of Airplane mode I have to do it all over. Spent 1 hour on the phone with Verizon . I own my Construction Company and this is the only phone I have for work . On top of that we are in a dead zone in the middle of Denver Colorado where my Home/Office is. 1k POS phone is only good for a paper weight . I have to call with my google home. This is miserable. Yes, I factory reset and trouble shot for more hours than I can spare.
I know this is the S9 forum. But I just got the update on my Note 8 and my work S8. Both of them are having the same issue. There's a notification about Wi-Fi calling Saying to tap here to confirm or update Emergency Location Information. I tap that it Says loading this may take a few moments, then says it's unable to enable Wi-Fi calling. I go through the phone App and settings and try to enable it there and get the same results. Before PIE i had this enabled already on both phones too.
Saw the same issue on a T-Mobile forum. No resolution there either. https://support.t-mobile.com/thread/149929
I updated to pie on my Verizon note 8 yesterday, ever since I've had the same problem as twiggle ^
I can't get rid of the notification to update emergency location information and I can't turn on wifi calling. Same message as him.
Same in Note 8. Prior update fixed it when prior update broke it.
The only non-extreme way to remove notification is to force stop the system app... after every reboot.
Waiting for a VZW hotfix. Like I did for 6 months prior.
Same thing happened to me after the Pie update. Clearing data and cache allowed me to turn it on with my s8+. When I try to update emergency address, that still fails though.
