Hello Ladies and Gents...
I have both a Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. Both phones are experiencing the same problem. At my home wifi, I'm not able to login to login to my work office 365 emails, and login netflix. Both apps work just fine over LTE and using work Wifi. I have other android and Apple devices that work just fine at home doing these simple tasks. I have a netgear R9000 router and Netgear Orbi mesh network. I've tried both 2.4 and 5Ghz bans and even tried different encryptions (WPA and WPA2). I've also tried creating separate wifi networks from each wifi and mesh devices. One of the phones i tried doing a factory reset and that didnt work. It still has the same issues. I'm at a loss at this point as it seems ive tried everything short of doing a hard reset on the phones.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hey guys, just wanted to post an update.
I was able to figure out a fix to this problem affecting me. Hopefully this will help others with similar problem. Rather then posting on multiple threads i will post my findings here as it looks to be affecting multiple users.
Here are some of the post i've found concerning this issue.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3-xl/help/strange-issue-using-wifi-pixel-3-apps-t3857059
https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixe...yone_else_having_issues_loading_certain_apps/
From my extensive troubleshooting I've done, this wifi\app connectivity issues lead me to find the culprit as being the modified MTU settings on my router. I have yet to find the reasoning as to why the Pixel 3\XL or Android Pie in general are more sensitive to packet fragmentation. My other PCs, android (8) and Apple devices had absolutely no issues with in my mesh network. Keep in mind that MTU settings can be Internet provider specific. You will need to find the optimal setting for your home network. Mine on Spectrum Cable has a default 1500. I've made modifications for gaming to assist in bufferbloating which in turn caused issues with my Pixel 3 phones. Once i reverted back to the default MTU setting, all 3rd party apps began working again. No more Netflix login issues, or office 365 Webmail issues, or not being able to access encrypted sites. All working again. We are back loving our Pixel 3's again.
I hope this helps you all. Good luck.!
Thank you so so much for this !!!

(i hope it's all right to post defy+ threads...)
so. a spanking new defy+, stock rom (45.0.74.MB526.Retail.en.DE)
android 2.3.4, build 4.5.1-134_DFP-74
i cannot seem to connect to my older generation home router using wifi.
the router in question is a d-link DI-524, and this is the first
device that is having problems with it.
the association is succesful, i get an ip address. but a simple ping
to the gateway reveals a consistent 80%+ packet drop, reproducible
every time.
Code:
--- 10.10.10.1 ping statistics ---
256 packets transmitted, 48 received, +15 errors, 81% packet loss, time 256608ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.709/419.705/1257.843/447.927 ms, pipe 3
i have tried all the possible authentication modes on the router involving wpa2-psk.
although i think authentication is not the problem, i get an ip address every time
and pings go through.
my suspicion is the N mode, the router is G and older only.
i also set the router's wireless mode to forced G (as opposed to "mixed")
with the same result.
i also tried to "forget" the network a couple of times, same results.
i realize that wifi connection problems are way too common, and it's
a fragile interoperation. on monday i will try the wireless network
at work, and i wouldnt be surprised if it worked flawlessly (remains
to be seen), but this router is nothing exotic and connected to everything
i have thrown at it so far, so naturally i blame the defy+ at the moment.
3G data connection works great.
is anyone else seeing problems like this?
solved, router to blame
another lesson in internet humility, replying to myself.
i have found references to this problem on some other forums,
but the actual solution came from this very site again :]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4383410#post4383410
the link in that post is already dead, but i could find the firmware
in question on dlink.cz's ftp archive. after upgrading the good ol' trusted
router's firmware, defy+ is willing to have a chat with it :]
the moral of the story is even stuff that works normally is to blame
once in a while.
ps. i could have sweared there was no other official update to that
firmware, i am the kind of guy who checks back regularly. i have this
hunch that that very last firmware appeared silently, without much
fanfare, and thus flew under my radar. almost impossible to find
it even by directly googling for it...
Well, thanks for sharing this problem and solution. We learned something. You have awful pretty sense of humor.
*EDIT* Posted in the wrong section; my apologies. i was looking in Q&A and hit 'new thread' in General. Move please? Again, sorry!
My GS3 will not connect to any WiFi networks. I have 13 days remaining to return/replace it. I have tried on 3 different routers; a Linksys WRT-54G, Belkin F5D8233-4 Wireless N router, and whatever D-Link router a local coffee shop had.
I have tried the special command *#0011# (or whatever it is). i have tried disabling WPS, changed router channels, disabled all security, switched between 20/40Mhz and 20Mhz modes, and reset/forgot every network and router probably 20 times last night, to no avail. From 2 feet away.
From what i have read, it appears to be a software glitch; pre-Sept 22 update didnt have the same problem, and the fact it keeps flashing 'incorrect password' and then gives me an authentication error, on fully unprotected networks, leads me to believe it is in fact software related.
Has anyone successfully connected to a router (if so, which one? specifically please), i am going to buy a second router to cover the rest of my house anyways (its big, cinderblock, steel, brick, and mortar with solid doors so WiFi doesn't penetrate very far), and i dont mind waiting for a fix (if its coming) for WiFi.
Its not a big problem because i have a grandfathered unlimited data plan, and i don't use data or surf much (average of 1.5 gigs a month for myself; 4-5 gigs when my girlfriend is home) so i dont actually need WiFi, but i paid for it, and i expected it to work.
As far as the routers I have, my sisters' my now-retired Motorola Atrix 4G, iPhone 4, my girlfriends' Blackberry Bold, my mothers' Kindle Fire, my fathers' iPad 3, and their iPhone 3Gs, three computers, one server, two laptops, and two printers all connect flawlessly. Even my *ancient* HTC Hermes and HTC Kaiser connect just fine, as well as any of our friends or guests devices. My friends' Samsung Galaxy Note also connects just fine (though i do not know which Android version she is using, or if they share the same WiFi chip).
So, in conclusion, how many others have this problem? did you have the same problem before the latest OTA update? and for those of you with no issues, which router models are you connecting to?
I just want this feature to work; we travel a lot, and rely on WiFi to communicate and do business abroad, so i will need it working in the coming weeks, and i would MUCH rather use take the GS3 over my unlocked Atrix.
Thanks in advance!
Sounds like a bad phone. Exchange it.

I seem to have stumbled upon a solution, mostly by accident. Even though i had repeatedly reset every variable and security feature, disabled everything and tried probably 20 times, with old and new firmware, i could not get it to connect and was about to return the phone.
Then my father came over with his new iPad; and it wouldnt connect either. I did a factory reset on the router, disabled everything (WPS, WEP/Security, firewall, etc) and both connected, seamlessly, and stayed connected.
Since then, it has connected just fine to any WiFi network; i never changed any advanced features on the phone, and i do not have to utilize the #*1100# trick; the signal is as strong as that of any other wireless devices. I believe there is a glitch or bug somewhere in the software on the SGIII, however, as it had been giving me authentication errors or 'wrong password' errors on completely unsecured networks. After i reset and factory restored the router, all is well. I havent set up security on my network at all, but i have both the iPad 3 and Galaxy S III here to play with, and i will go through different options until i identify what security feature, specifically, each does not work with.
I will attempt to post any errors and log dumps here so perhaps the community can fix it instead of waiting for Google, but i am unsure how to log and post them from the Galaxy S III, any pointers would be great.

So, this is weird and I've been banging my head against the wall for months with this issue. My tablet thinks I'm in the Pittsburgh area, more specifially, at Laszlo Bartos Photography on 541 Peregrine Dr, Irwin, PA. The kicker is, I'm located in Newfoundland on the east coast of Canada. I've never been to Pittsburgh, and haven't been to the USA since September 2014.
For the past few months, my tablet has been giving me weather in Google Now for Irwin, PA and North Huntington, PA. I can't figure out what's causing it. I was running stock Android 5 on my Nexus 7, and have recently completely wiped my tablet out and installed a clean copy of Android 6, but the problem persists, so I'm assuming its something with my Google account. My LG G4 phone (which is also stock) does not have this problem.
I'm not using any sort of VPN or proxy server (just google's 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4), so I can't figure out why this is happening. Both my phone and tablet are on the same wifi network, and I have another phone with no sim card that is connected to the wifi without this issue.
Even opening up google maps shows me at this address with an active blue dot for the gps. I've changed my location settings to all 3 options, doesn't make any difference. I move around my house, and the dot moves on the map as if I'm in this place. I go and download an app that auto-detects my location as Pittsburgh. I search google for "Movies" and it gives me results for movie theatres around Pittsburgh.
What could be causing this, and more importantly, how can I fix this?
is it an LTE version, or WiFi only? What is the IP address (not the one inside your local LAN, but the one he ISP gives to your service? Have you looked into one of the apps that shows the value of the gps sensor data? (is GPS enabled?) What is the SSID of the WiFi, and have you tried changing it? In other words, all the various info that google/android uses to try to geo-locate you...
You probably tried (and reset) all of these, but the more raw data you provide, the more likely someone can help you with this...
Hi,
So, I just got my S20 5G from Google Fi a week ago or so. I've been noticing that it suffers from little to no connections at times when connected to WiFi. No issue when on mobile data. I did online search and saw someone saying if I change the randomized Mac to Phone Mac, it would fix the issue, but it didn't work for me. I see numerous reports of similar issues on S20 series on the net:

I'd like to know if any of you have faced this issue and if you found a working solution. Some say it's a software issue related to OS update, but some say it's hardware. I want to avoid having to send this phone in or to replace if it's an OS issue since that won't do anything until Samsung releases a fix. But, if it's a hardware issue, then I should. I'd love it if I can get some data points from other people's experience with this issue.

Thank you for sharing your experience. If you come across any possible fix, please share. I'll do that same.
As a possible fix, do this. First check the setup of the Router. You can not use Mac address filtering since the mac address is changing r Randomizing your Mac and the router can no longer depend on a fixed Mac. Second as one of the Randomizing Mac settings where you set up the SSID on the phone set to "Use Device Mac" and be sure no other settings like in developers settings is turn on for Randomization. I'm finding setting it this way and filtering Mac addresses lives together but only for the session be that one-hour or days you phone is connected to the router. This is usually only a problem when you are filtering with router access list or setting a device's mac address to a Specific IP in the router.
I recently considered completely degoogling lineageos and i succeeded partly.
1. Changed the system webview to bromite webview.
2. Changed the captive portals to
https://e.foundation/net_204/
http://204.ecloud.global
3. And finally changed the timeserver to pool.ntp.org
One of these steps happened to screw up things with the wifi and mobile data.
Wifi works just fine but has a "Limited connection" label on it.
And mobile data doesnt seem to work at all.
Has anyone experienced something similar or knows the solution?
Thanks in advance for your help.
When you are on wifi, are you connecting to a router that has a custom DNS server? I get the same thing, works just fine. Scroll through your router logs and device logs to see what is times out and adjust accordingly.
I lost mobile data on a previous device (LG v20) when I moved over to LOS and was messing around with APN. Given that mobile data runs through provider's server, it might be that the server it being blocked by a content filter or similar. Also, it might be that LOS's list of default APN are not updated with current information required by your provider.
My device uses nextdns through private dns.
I was using vanilla lineageos with microg and mobile data worked fine, after these steps something seemed to have messed up. I have tried resetting APNs too, didnt work.
DNS of wifi doesnt typically affect that of LTE, but might be different in your flavor of LOS.
Look at your logs on router and device.
Private dns is DNS over TLS implementation of android, it works on both wifi and mobile data. I havent changed anything related to dns for a long time. DNS doesnt seem to be the problem.
systool sntpc -sntpRequest
I can see simple ntp client requests like this, should i be looking for something else?
I'm curious as to how many requests you are seeing. I seem to recall android should only check every few days. Hmm.
Checked logs on a rooted v20 stock N7.1 that I keep around for tv and Roku and Plex control. I wasn't able to find a ntp or sntp entry in last 7 days, the length of my log. Firewall did not report any port 123 traffic either.
Incidentally, I am using 3.android.pool.ntp.org to sync with. Not sure where that came from, I don't remember it as being such as I prefer time.nist.gov.
I don't know what could be going sideways with data other than perhaps dns not working ( does ip# work on mobile?) on mobile and degraded showing on wifi.
This may be pointless, but if wifi is turned off, are you able to send/receive a mms? I ask because mms traffic to your phone is based on IP#, but mms traffic from phone has to (typically) resolve name of mms server.
I am just about out of ideas / suggestions.
Thank you for our help mate, i fixed the issue.
Everything is back to normal after changing the captive portal to
http://captiveportal.kuketz.de
https://captiveportal.kuketz.de
The one from e foundation seemed to be the problem. This one is from a security researcher Mike Kuketz.
The captive portal wrecked mobile data too? That is surprising and interesting.
Glad to see you are up and running.
Side note, do you still see same amount of sntp activity now?
