WI-Fi on 246 keeps stalling - Motorola Droid Bionic

I'm not sure why but ever since upgrading to 246 my bionic can't keep a wifi connection stable. It either disconnects after a while or stays connected but stops transmitting data. When I leave my house it still has the wifi connection icon thinking its connected when it obviously isn't. Any ideas out anyone having similar problem?

I am having the same problems. The wifi is inconsistent and is happening across multiple applications so I am guessing that the error is in the OS level. I FXZ'd back to 905 and did the 246 OTA update. I have never rooted so everything is running completely stock.
I have seen a few other people describe these symptoms in other unrelated threads but I think it deserves its own to see if it can get fixed.

I'm having same issue as well. Very unresponsive wifi.

I'm having the same issue on Eclipse v1.2 which is based on 246...

Update: I upgraded the router at my home to a Wireless-N wifi. The issue with the wifi connection has now gone away. I have made no changes to my bionic so I can only guess the problem was something with the b/g connection.

I have this same issue from time to time. Very annoying.

Browser issues?

Hey ya'll. I'm connected to my WiFi at home. Friendcaster won't load in when connected to WiFi but my wife's does in her spectrum..another issue is when I'm on the browser Facebook won't load in at all regardless of WiFi or mobile data..but it does on my wife's spectrum. I'm currently on stock unrooted but if there's a fix for this for rooted users I'll do it in a heartbeat..

I am on Broken Out 1.1 for the V8 update and the last month or so I have had nothing but issues with FB on wifi or 3g. 4g connection it is ok. Wifi in general is ok, but not as good as V7. I have done a complete wipe and reinstalled the BO 1.1 rom and still issues with FB on wifi or 3g (It's the only app that does it). My wife has an Incredible 2 and no issues either.
I've asked about this issue before and now I believe it's becoming a known issue with the Revo and a few other devices. Mostly a fb prob.

I'm having the same exact prob with fb app. I just been using the browser instead. I'm on v8 broken out. I have also been having issues with my 4g and 3g cutting in and out randomly. It's pretty annoying. I've completely re installed everything on my revo twice including the OS and still have the same issues

FB is doing a major update for their ios app, maybe that means there is one for android too, but maybe having wifi on and 4g on when doing the rom flash will work, not an expert but that is how i did it and it works fine with me
thing is its not just my fb app, even if i try to use the browser if im connected to wifi it doesnt work, not just fb but a bunch of other web pages wont work. but when i connect to the mobile network it all works perfect
+1 on all this. No FB on wifi with the BO Revo, everything works just fine on the BO Spectrum.
No clue as to the cause or solution.

The FB wifi problem came with the ZV9 update, it's not related to BO.
I am on V8 and having this issue. WiFi in general isn't as good as it used to be. FB won't connect on wifi or 3g, keep getting connection lost. I just don't have the time in the next week to wipe everything and reflash BO, then install FB 1st and try to see if some other apps or blitz or supercharger are causing an issue.

3g connectivity lost frequently on VJ CM10.1 (Jelly Bean 4.2.2 - v5.0)

The ROM is smooth. Only one consistent issue I am facing is the 3g getting connectivity getting lost frequently. So the bars with "H" turn grey after some time. The only way to overcome this issue seems to be to reboot the phone. Please advise a fix.

Yea, I've had that problem occasionally. I just turn on Airplane mode and turn it off again to get the 3G going.
Thanks that helps. A related issue is with the portable WiFi hotspot. It works probably 1 out of 10 times. While hotspot is connected, if the 3g connectivity is lost then hotspot can't be reconnected (manually). When 3g is back and I restart hotspot, it just closes itself. So can't get hotspot working. I try repeatedly but can't get hotspot back up. 3g is on and blue but hotspot won't connect.
Any suggestions how to get hotspot stable?

Wiped all including sdcard, repartitioned with 4ext and did a reinstall. Issues:
1. 3g is very unstable. Loses connectivity often and won't reconnect until reboot. Even turning airport mode on and off doesn't get 3g back up.
2. Tither almost doesn't work at all. Even rebooting doesn't fix issue. The WiFi hotspot turns itself off as soon as its turned on.

WiFi Disconnects & Reconnects after 4.3 update

One phone is on Flex's 4.3 Stock with Goodies. The other is my wife's stock phone with the latest 4.3 update.
After the update, both phones are reconnecting and disconnecting on home WiFi router constantly (every minute) This did not happen before the update. Wireless laptop still connects fine to the router.
Are there phone settings to tinker with regarding this issue? OR do yall think it's a modem issue. It should also be noted that my phone connects just fine to my work's WiFi.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Update/ Bump
Things I have done to my router thus far, and am still experience constant disconnect / reconnect
Set the router to B only
Set the router to G only
Set the router to N only
Changed the channel of the router
removed WEP/WPA Password
Upgraded firmware in this router
reset router
kicked router
Both phones are still having this issue. Do you any of you folks think it could be some conflict in handing out IP Addresses by the router?

I am having the exact same issue. It was happening on the stock ROM after the 4.3 update. Yesterday I rooted and flashed Stock w Goodies, the problem is still there.
Yup happening to me also but I thought it was just my phone not playing nice with the router. Problem persists even on the 5.5 roms

I was having the same problem..so I turneded off roaming and it still happened somewhat...then I reflashed the separate radio and it's much better

What radio specifically did you flash?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
This has happened to me as well. Changing the radio to the newest one helps a little as does changing to Roam Only or No Roaming. Also, placing the phone onto airplane mode and then connecting to wifi alleviates the problem. Unfortunately the most reliable fix I could find was flashing back to 4.1.2.
My theory is that something about how 4.3 handles connectivity in relation to cell service borks connectivity with all other radios on the phone because when I used my Moga with 4.3 it would constantly disconnect when the radio switched between Sprint and Roaming. But I'm not a developer nor do I understand much except for the basics.
Same issue. Only with certain apps though, like Facebook. Pretty sure it's not me because I'm stock unrooted and all my other devices work fine.
Yep, same here I am also experiencing an issue on Badseed's rom where I get a constant popup every 3 minutes or so asking if I want to allow data access for this trip or for all trips. No matter what I select it keeps coming back, even in settings where I select to allow all types of roaming I am still having this issue.... Any ideas?
I already had the latest 4.3 firmware update (soff) and then a couple weeks later I flashed the latest radio found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2406330
I also disabled roaming plus I changed the lte/cdma option under data settings to Automatic

[Q] random wifi disconnects

i keep getting random wifi disconnects all the time. it is getting a little old. i was wondering if anyone can help me fix this problem? i have tried to install the rom several times with the same results each time. i have also changed router channels and setting with no change.
anyone have any ideas?

Same here, but it only happens with some networks, like at work. At home, no problems. Running Team Nocturnal 4.4.2, latest radio, and tried other radios as well.
At work, I've got to cycle airplane mode on/off to get things running again, but then WiFi drops out again.
Tried turning off WiFi optimization, tried forcing 2.4ghz only vs auto, and also tried manually adding network by typing in SSID (on a Google forum, someone mentioned this fixed things for them).
No idea what's causing this. Like I said, home network works perfectly fine on 2.4ghz and auto mode.
Try updating firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48649096

Tried that-- did it before I wiped everything to install 4.4.2.
I had this issue too a while back. What seemed to fix it for me was unchecking Wi-Fi optimization in the Wi-Fi advanced settings. Try this, hope it helps.

Thanks for the suggestion. Already tried it.
Don't know why this is happening, and only on some networks.
Works 100% at home. Good enough! But if anyone finds a fix, I'm all ears.
Always disconnecting from any Wi-Fi source in on. At home either on the at&t uverse gateway or Linksys bridge in room. Same scenario. Even at Starbucks or in hotels i get the same issue. Just randomly drops off switches to 3g/4g then reconnects to Wi-Fi. Just like it did right now as I'm trying to post this

Same here. Completely stock. Happens on multiple wi-fi networks. I've tried all of the fixes mentioned in this thread. Extremely annoying. An airplane mode toggle seems to fix things for awhile, but it always comes back.
Any word on the likelihood of this being fixed with the upcoming 4.4 update?

I had this problem too doesnt happen on CM 11 but if i RUU back to stock wifi disconnects all the time. I disabled the NFC and that seem to work for me.
to disable NFC go to settings and under wireless networks there is a more menu. uncheck the last box which is NFC. the icon will also disappear at the top.
still the same. i tried all of those options. still does the random disconnect to mobile data then back to wifi.
This may sound crazy, but try switching network to cdma only, before turning on wifi. Noticed the random disconnects when there was no 4G LTE or it was spotty. Hope this helps Turning off mobile data completely while on wifi should also work

Droid Turbo WiFi problems

Having issues with my WiFi. Been doing it for a week or so. Every few days and now since yesterday my WiFi will all together quit working. Says connected but I get no internet and can't access my gateway with it. I have Xfinity internet and all the other phones and laptops work fine on it. But my phone just straight won't work on the WiFi unless I hard reset my phone. Tried DNS settings and static IP address and all. Multiple reboots of both device and gateway. Can't seem to find anyone else having this issue. Any thoughts from anyone before I take it to Verizon?

Are you on the most recent update? The newest one fixes that problem.

Sent from my XT1254 using XDA Free mobile app
wifi sucks on this phone. I don't get the disconnects but it is very slow to load anything and everything. Pictures, web pages, whatever. Doesn't happen to the other 15 devices on my network. LTE works fine
When it connects I have no problems with speed. Despite being up to date with software I have to reset every few days for it to work here lately. I've even hard reset my AP and checked the firmware on it and everything else works fine before and after. Its just this phone. I finally got it working again after a reset last night so if it does it again I'm just going to Verizon with it. I'm no IT specialist but I know enough to try different things and still no remedy other than hard reset.

Believe it or not, I have this problem too. I'll be completely connected with nothing going wrong with my network, but I'll have no access to the internet. I'll go to my tablet or my roommate's phone and there will be no problems.
I'm still looking up other forums and Verizon as well to see what possibly could be up with it. If I find anything useful I'll let you know. It's pretty frustrating when I don't have unlimited data anymore like I had on Sprint. If I did I really wouldn't care to be honest, but Verizon's service has by far surpassed Sprint in Houston.

I've noticed that when my device sits idle for long periods, overnight for example, while connected to my home WiFi there doesn't appear to be any throughput. It seems to be connected in every other respect. Toggling WiFi off/on sorts it for me though. I know that I've read that this is a reported bug that is to be fixed, but naturally, I've been reading so much at so many different sites, that I can't for the life of me recall exactly which site it was. I'm guessing that you issues are somewhat different than mine?
Yeah. I can toggle or reboot or reset my AP all day when it does this and it will never fix it. I tried for 2 days of different fixes I've seen online but the only thing that gets it back is a hard reset.

Might be a fluke but just got home and no WiFi like I expected. Did a hard reset on my AP with the reset button instead of through my laptop by logging into it. Forgot network on my phone. Rebooted it. Connected and it was fine. Pain in the ass if I have to do it every day but if it works it works.

I also recently started having this problem. Frequent disconnect / reconnect to Wifi with no data passing through. I had to shut off my mobile data because it was increasing my data usage at home.
I also noticed this problem too. It shows I have Wi-Fi connection but no internet or email access. When I disabled the WiFi, internet comes back. It's also xfinity Wi-Fi router. That's only place I have Wi-Fi issues.. No issues at home. Maybe it's compatibility issues with xfinity router?

I'm using an Netgear AC1750 router...No issues with Wifi at work.
I'm pretty convinced its the Xfinity access points. I don't have WiFi at work as I work in a shop, but the WiFi at my in-laws (Sudden Link) worked fine this weekend. I am now I'm having the same issue with my laptop all the sudden as well is why I am really thinking that it's their hardware and not mine. Never had this issue with AT&T when I had them. Had already switched to Comcast before I got the Turbo so I can't say with 100% certainty.
Sent from my XT1254 using XDA Free mobile app
Sounds like it could be....if you have another Wifi router you could try it and disable the AP on the Xfinity modem. On my network, only the Droid Turbo has trouble with WiFi. I've got 7 other devices on there that all work fine.
Never set up an external router on it. I as well have 3 other phones, 2 other laptops and 2 tablets that all work fine with it. Xfinity just hates the turbo. Lol My laptop I think was a fluke as it hadn't been turned on in a few days. I just think it didn't want to refresh the settings until I released/renewed, then it was fine. I'll find out tonight when I get home anyways.

I also don't think its interference either. My father in law is an ex cop and radio operator. He has all sorts of repeaters and radios and all I haven't a clue about set up. If there was going to be any interference involved I'm pretty sure it would be there. Heh.

Yeah. Reading through some of that I never have hanging issues. Mine would just flat out not work at some points. Other than hard reset on the phone I have only found 1 way to fix it.
1. Forget WiFi network and shut off phone.
2. Hard reset my AP with reset button on back of it.
3. When AP is finished rebooting turn on phone and reconnect to WiFi.
