Wifi Keeps Disconnecting When Youtubing - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am living in a university hostel with only ethernet connection so I decided to use Connectify to create a hotspot for my Note. However, my wifi connection always drops off when I watch videos from the YouTube app. Every other apps works perfectly except the YouTube app. I got no problem with other wifi though.
I'm running stock 4.0.4, not rooted or anything. Tried clearing the app data as well.
Any help?

Time out playstore

I unable to connect to the store except with wifi.
But mobile data keeps timing out.
Already tried factory reset, and force closing the market, clearing cache and un installing updates but that doesn't help..
Haven't rooted my phone yet, don't have a laptop right now. So can't wipe cachés and whatnot
I had the opposite problem with you a week ago. It worked fine via mobile data but not on wifi. The internet worked fine via WiFi though. I refreshed the firmware but it didn't help.
The wired thing was that it's working again after I reallocated the WiFi AP.
For your case, can you access the internet via WiFi?

Yes it works perfectly fine with wifi. Internet and play store
What I did notice now is that if I go to settings>>>more settings>>>mobile networks>>> and change from network mode LTE/GSM/WCDMA(auto) to only WCDMA then play store works just fine.. Really weird.

Avoided poor internet connection

My wife HD running pa keeps saying avoided poor internet connection even when it's right next to the router. Wi-Fi was working great for a long time and has just suddenly started doing this. And no I don't have avoid poor connection checked. I've cleared catches re flashed and nothing is fixing it. I have the same phone and same ROM and it works great!!! Any ideas suggestions would be great.

Connecting to chromecast

Anyone has any issues connecting to the chromecast? My Note 3, not rooted or modified in any way, cannot connect stably to the chromecast dongle. They are on the same wifi, with at least 3 signal bars on both devices. However every time I try to play from YouTube or Netflix I get this constant connect - disconnect until the app crashes. On the TV I see the dongle start connecting to the stream then dropping it when Note disconnects then restarting the stream from beginning when Note reconnects.
Anyone has any ideas? Apps work fine otherwise and dongle works fine with my laptop and the old Note 2.
Thanks

Seems that I have fixed it myself. At least it is working for now.
I was reading the thread on Note 3 WiFi issues in this forum and someone there offered improvement for that problem. I have not noticed any WiFi issues on my phone but decided to do so anyway. Well, apparently that fixed my chromecast connection.

I had an issue but I had to turn off the option in wifi settings for switching to 4g if the wifi connection is poor.

I had that one off already. Wasn't working. Only turning off power management fixed it. However, it substantially worse on the battery life. I've lost 3-5 hours of the battery.

Strange Wifi Issue

I just picked up another Z1 for myself after my wife took the other one ( . Like last one I updated to the latest FW.
I have strange wifi issues where my Z1 wont work on wifi - i mean it connects to the router but no interenet at all. Google Play store and spotify seems to connect to the internet but I can not browse any websites.
Also on a room with a wifi repeater even Google Play store doesnt work. I have tried restoring to factory settings and whatnot and still I am unable to browse on wifi using chrome. When I try to setup a hotspot using iPhone and then browse - everything seems to work then.
All other devices such as iPhone 5 and Z10 work just fine. Should I return the phone or is there a work around ?
Do you have any security software? I found kaspersky did this to me by changing the proxy on wifi

Problems with YouTube Chromecast connectivity

Anyone having problems with Chromecast losing connection while casting YouTube videos from the phone?
It's happening to me allot in the last few days I'll put a playlist to play navigate away from the YouTube app to browse news and etc. Comeback to pause our change video after awhile only to have to reconnect to my Chromecast device.
Also lately I'm having problems reconnecting after losing the initial connection the App will treat my phone as if I don't have Wi-Fi turned on. I'll then have to turn Airplane mode on and off before it fixes itself.

So I think my problem was a connectivity issue, my latest effort to fix is to uncheck the option in Wi-Fi settings to do smart network switch. So far it seems to help, if not fix the problem.
