Hello, i know this has been discussed here before, but i wanted to ask for help anyway. My Wifi was working perfectly fine on Android 4.1, but after this update to 4.2.2 its really bad.
I know its software issue, pressing right top corner of my HOX doesnt help at all. I tried factory reset, but it didnt help. I´m running official ROM and no root. The problem is that sometimes when i have full signal strenght, the wifi speed is still horrible (like 0.5mb on 10mb wifi).
Any suggestions what to try? Thanks a lot

I have exactly the same problem. All HTC customer service suggested was factory reset, tried that and no difference. On 4.1 it worked fine on my wifi at home throughout the house, now on 4.2, works ok downstairs but useless upstairs even when it says I have 4 bars of signal. Very one times flaky though and sometimes drops to 1 or none. This is a disaster as I understand there is no way to roll back to 4.1. This is unbelievable!! How can an official update totally break basic functionality with no way back!? Searched all over Internet to find a solution and no luck, even though a fair few people seem ro have this problem. Is not a hardware problem, as OP, squeezing top right makes no difference. Have tried static IP, doesn't help. Desperate for help, can any wise heads on here suggest anything? Thanks!
So wish I had not updated, it worked brilliantly before.
Same situation here after the update... With full signal keep having horrible Wifi speed... :'(

Do you have the same problem 4play975? Seems quite a few people do..! As per OP my phone is not rooted and don't want to root it really.
Any chance anyone can suggest any other solutions to try?
Failing that, some details on what Richmondos fix is would be useful!!
Yeah, I really dont want to root my phone too, because i have warranty for more than 1 year now and I will sell the phone in future, so I dont wanna risk loosing warranty..
I also have similar problem! But it varies, sometimes it's bad and sometimes not??? Phone is stock and locked and don't want to unlock and install custom stuf, until warranty period is over.
Hello to all
I have the same wi-fi problem on my HTC One X since I made the update.
Is there any way to solve this?I hope so, because Wi-Fi signal is very bad, and I use it a lot of time.
I have CWM recovery installed,bootloader unlocked, and s-on, recently I have rooted my phone,
but at this moment is not.
I dont care installing new kernel, radio,etc........I just want to solve this problem :crying:
Tanks to all
I have a problem with my wifi too since the Andriod 4.2.2 and Sense 5 update, but it seems to be a bit different from yours. The speedtest.net app and the ping & DNS app give the same results as my PC that is hard wired to the router, so speed and ping seem to be fine.
But I get errors like Connection Problem Authentication via the proxy server was unsuccessful - but I don't use a proxy server. In the HOX wifi settings for that router the Proxy settings are Manual, Proxy hostname 127.0.0.1 and proxy port 3128. Are these correct for when there is no proxy? If switch from Manual to None and go back in then it has gone back to those settings.
Another error is Connection Problem this page contains too many server redirects. But the page displays fine if I switch to mobile data.
Or I get Connection Problem there was a network error. Again it works fine on mobile data.
Then there are some webpages that give a 404 page cannot be found error. Again it works fine on mobile data.
Some of these problems are repeatable on the same webpages across different routers in different buildings.
Sometimes when connecting to a router the HOX connects and the loses the connection and then reconnects up to 10 times before settling on the connection.
Like you I would rather not root etc if possible.
So, noone know a solution for users without root? I found out that on some wifi (in school), it works quite fine even on worse signal. But before update, it was ok on every wifi..
Hi
i have the same problem with my wlan connection. Nearly 100kb/s.
I had tested my internet download speed on my computer and takes interesting information:
my internet connection is 70MBit, this means i can download with nearly 8,2 MB/s.
If my HOX is not connected to the router, the whole downloadspeed is available on the computer. But if the HOX is connected, the downloadspeed is only 1 MB/s.
After disconnecting and rebooting the router, the internet connection is as well as before.
Does anyone makes the experiences?
regards
Daniel
I don't have the speed problems, Speedtest.net app gives the same results on my HOX as my PC.
One of my wifi problems is to do with the Wi-fi connecting to a weak signal instead of the stronger one - I have worked around this by installing WiFi Fixer App which works well at switching to the stronger signal.
Also there are some websites that give errors like Server Error too Many Redirects (for example http://www.thefreedictionary.com/ does that for me) or 404 Error - Page Cannot be Found (http://fahrbot.co.uk/) or are sometimes slow to load - I have found that these issues don't happen with the Opera Mini app, so why does the stock browser give these problems when on wifi, but not on mobile data?
Another one is that if I click a link in a webpage (or type in a URL) that takes me to a webpage that has a mobile version as well as the desktop version I get a strange URL that doesn't work. For example on mobile data typing in www.abmobileapps.com takes me to the mobile version of the website, but on wifi the URL automatically changes to http://www.abmobileapps.comhttp/www.abmobileapps.com/ and the page cannot be found. Again it works in mini Opera on wifi.
WIFI FIX
if you use rooted device, use lyapota mods and flash modpack http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2114584 (contin wififix and other).
for me works great :highfive: (my router has openwrt)
I found out that on some other wifis speed works just fine. I have router D-Link DIR-600 with stronger antenna than it was stock. I use WPA2 security and Dynamic IP.
Is there anything what I should try to fix it? Thanks for any suggestions.
Here are some advices how to fix the WiFi issues - router dependent (need access to the router setup):
1. Make sure that you are not using channel 11-13
2. Disable "WMM Support" in router Wireless -> Advanced Settings. Note: this will force G-only speed (54Mb)
3. You you want to keep the N speed, put your phone in the highest possible QoS priority without disabling the "WMM Support"
Hope this helps

after flashing lyopotas mod pack my hox'S wifi seems to work again like it's supposed
maybe it helps
After update,
i can't use my home wifi (Innacomm),using other wifi okay.
conneted but can't surf internet (error 404) but can only use opera mini (very very very slow).
Using other device no problem with the wifi..anyone can help me? TQ :crying:
The problems I am having with proxy and 404 errors are all caused by the Web Protection feature in Kaspersky Internet Security for Android since the OTA to Android 4.2.2 (it worked fine previously). I have installed the latest KIS 11.1.4.141 from the Kaspersky website (because Google Play says it is up to date at version 11.1.3) but the problem still occurs. So I have turned off Web Protection in KIS and all my issues have been cleared up.

Hi @ all,
So i have been using my Note 2014 for around 3 weeks now.
Despite the lags on the device while browsing or searching in the playstore , i noticed or lets say - i get frustrated that webpages dont load. I have to refresh them several times to finally show up. The same with theplay store and any other app that requires a internet connection.
So what i want to know is, if you guys have experienced the same or if everything works good for you ?
Thanks so far...
Bottom line is that if there would be another tablet (windows or android ) with a good pen like the note has, i would have switched devices immediately i guess. For college the spen is superior than any other pen i had a look at so far. Despite that it is still a good device..
I haven't had any Wi-Fi or BT issues. I compared download speeds between my N3 and N10.1-14 using a 1GB test file and the N10.1-14 was significantly faster using the same router. There are a couple of wireless "issues" threads that point to some N10.1-14s having possible h/w issues. If you're having connection issues across multiple different routers and networks you may have a h/w problem.

I have a similar issue. While websites seem to load normally in the browser, I frequently get connection errors or time outs. For example in the Play Store it has happened several times that, after clicking on an app, the page for that app can't be loaded and al I see is a 'reload' button in the middle of the page. Clicking that loads the page quickly and I never actually disconnect from my wifi. I have also had to re initiate several app downloads as the initial download created an error. This happened mostly (if not exclusively) when I send the app through chrome on my laptop. At least one other app also has some connection issues sometimes after it gets a push notification that triggers the app to update.
I feel like the issue is when the tablet tries to send data right after or while it's receiving data.

Thats really weird. If i dont find a solution for this i will trade it in. Im currently keeping it only for the great spen feature. There is currently way too less competition for tablets with a good working active stylus (only wacom technology atm)
Similar issue here, but maybe not to the same extent as yours.
For me the most prevalent apps that have this issue is the play store and youtube. I will frequently get connection error/server error on those apps. The funny thing is I can open browser in a pen window and load any site just fine while this happens, it's the apps that refuse to load pages. So I believe my internet is fine, it's an issue with the apps. I'm gonna try factory resetting later.
Here's the Wi-Fi performance of my N10.1-14 (on the right) and N3 compared. They are connected to the same network, were tested in the same location, and tested within minutes of each other. On average, the N10.1-14 actually outperforms the N3 in signal strength. If you notice in the elapsed time chart there aren't any major dips in the connection speed which there would be if there were a signal or h/w problem.

Mind giving me the name of the app or how you ran the test ?
I just downloaded a normal download speed app. The result was really odd. While my nexus showed a speed of around 3 mbs (wtf?!!) , my note showed a speed of around 25mbs. But if i open websites or browse youtube or whatever , my nexus is always way faster...

Thanks. I dont understand it :
I ran the app.
Nexus 4 : 12mbps
Note 2014 : 121 mbps
They both use the same wifi. But still the whole internet perfomance is way slower than on the nexus .
Thanks for your answers. When the storm is gone i will go to the store and trade it in...

I am one of the guys here which didn't have any lags (And I am known to fast devices). Also with the stock browser and play store I have no issues. Everything is fast... so it must be something else which interfere here.
PS. I made a test together with my HTC one and when the Note was faster by loading pages.
I'm having issues with downloads on my 5ghz wifi connection. 2.4ghz works fine. Downloading anything on 5ghz takes forever. A speed test shows I have 90mbps download speed on 5ghz. All my other phones work fine.

I had the same issue with my Pixel XL, especially when it came to Play Store downloads. I had my 5GHz band setup in my router to use automatic channel management. Switching this to manual and picking a channel based on WiFi Analyzer app information seemed to have helped, for now at least. I'm now using channel# 104 for my 5GHz band.
I don't know if this is an issue with the Pixel line. My Nexus 6P never had issues with auto-channel management.
Give the manual thing a shot and let me now if that helped!
My XL has been having weird WiFi issues since I got it on Thursday. The first half of my full day with it was fine, but later in the day WiFi just kept disconnecting and connecting. I was on my 5 Ghz network, so I switched to 2.4 Ghz, same thing. I sideloaded the NDE63P OTA since it hadn't come down for me (I'm on T-Mobile, so not sure if this is Verizon only). This supposedly has WiFi fixes.
Things were fine for a day, but now I catch it doing the same disconnect from time to time. Not as often as on NDE63L, but still more than my 6P ever did.

Well, looks like I was too optimistic. The semi-regularly-intermittent slow down is back. It happens often enough to be annoying but not all the time. I'm using the Comcast provided Arris TG1682G. This is using the 5GHz band. I know I could switch to 2.4GHz band but I would rather try to figure out what to do to get this working problem-free on the 5GHz.
Any ideas?

Same exact issue, Comcast Arris gateway. Sent logs to Google. Heard nothing back yet. I have connected to other 5ghz Wifi with no problems. I don't think its hardware. Has to be software and that Comcast router.

I agree with you. My 6P didn't have the issue with the same router.
BTW, How does one get those logs?
Also, I wonder if putting the Arris in bridge mode and connecting an external router might help? It seems like an overkill for 2016...
I'm having the same issues. Mine is disconnecting from both 2.4 and 5. Seems like it works immediately after a reboot but then will drop. I can seem to get it to consistently drop using the ookla speed test app. I also side loaded the latest and it did not help. Please let us know if you get anywhere. I talked to Google support today and got generic response for generic Wi-Fi troubleshooting.

I downloaded updates from the playstore this morning on 5ghz with no problems. I know it's hit or miss. Last night it wouldn't work. A different router in bridge mode might work. You would still need to lease the gateway fron Comcast. Which sucks.

I tried that last night but it didn't seem to work. I thought it might have had something to do with Bluetooth though because I disconnected my watch and it was fine for a while. Once I re enabled Bluetooth in general, it went back to disconnecting. And disabling it again didn't help, but it always seems to be fine after a reboot for a little bit. Not sure if I hope this is a software issue or hardware issue. Would be nice to have a replacement that works, but on the other hand if it's software, it could be patched. Based on how it behaves it makes me think it's software.
I don't have my Pixel yet but many phones have problems with certain 5Ghz channels. Try setting your router to channel 44 or 48 and see if you have better luck.

No luck, still slow downloads from playstore. I also noticed in Google photos, some pictures are blurry. When I tap into the blurry picture, the spinning circle keeps spinning without bringing up the picture. My ookla speed test are normal fast. My Google Chrome speed test are all over the place, with network errors. Definitely weird. All my other devices work.
I don't have issues to connect with my router, though nearly every day there is a moment where websites don't load at all. Then I need to turn wifi off and turn wifi on again and then it works. Very annoying.
Is my Nexus defective?
I have just noticed that I have posted in the wrong forum, sorry
I dont have any issues. Are you stock? Have you tried other kernels / roms ? Have you tried to isolate the problem to the 2.4 or 5 GHz band?
Stock Android 7.0, there is no option to choose the band in Android 7, but I have already had this issue with Android 6.
Mine also has wifi issues. Sporadically disconnects and takes ~30 seconds to reconnect. Makes webpages, snapchat, and other apps not load all the time. Like you said, turning off and on wifi seems to fix it for a few.
I've tried forgetting the network, reconfiguring my router (it does this on other networks too), reflashing stock. I had this problem before I sent my phone in for the bootloop issue, and they sent it back fixed and it still does this. Thought maybe it was adblocking having issues, so didn't install that this time. Still does this. It's not TERRIBLE since it's connected maybe 70% of the time but it still is inconvenient

To isolate the bands you would have to disable the bands on the router.
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?

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.
