[Q] Since Update 2.3.6 Wifi disconnect,reconnect

hi all
Since i updated my Nexus One manually with the here provided Update 2.3.6. My Nexus One loose WiFi every 10 Seconds. On Google Support they are many Threads about this. For Example :
google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=3251939ebbad21a3&hl=en
Many users have problem with this annoying bug. I wonder why here is nothing to find about this.
Anyone here with the same Problem since 2.3.6. ?

Can´t understand why no one cares here. The Google support Forum is full of the same complains about WiFi rendered useless by 2.3.6.
Nexus one
Nexus S
all areas
Same Problem after update. WiFi drops every 20 seconds and reconnect.
Is here no one with the same problem ?

I believe its been mentioned in a number of threads...

Happens to me as well, I hope Google addresses this issue.

It isn't that I don't care, but I haven't had the issue with my phone (granted, I am not running stock but am running a CM7 nightly).
I am not sure what good it would be to chime in and say that it isn't happening to me. I think a lot of the consistent xda forum respondents aren't running stock, so they probably aren't having the issue.

[Q] Cm 10.2.1 And A Linksys EA4500

Updating from CM9, I notice that the phone now loses it's authentication with the router multiple times in one day. That is, the icon changes from blue to white, and no data can pass through. It is necessary to turn wi-fi off and then back on to restore the connection.
On the premises, we also have a Motorola G, Nexus 7, Samsung Galaxy Nexus and a Nexus One. All but the GNex have no problems with this router. The GNex is still stock, so it would appear to have something to do with these older Samsung phones running 4.3. Searching Google, someone suggested forcing the phone to use the 2.4 band, and doing so with the GNex doesn't completely fix it, but it does happen less often. However, I can't find a "wi - fi frequency band" setting in CM.
So, does anyone have any idea what's going on? And is there a way to force the Captivate to use the 2.4 band?
Thanks much

CM9 is quite old, chances are that the kernel modules don't support it.

Thanks for your reply.
Before, while running CM9, the phone would remain properly connected to the router indefinitely. This problem of losing authentication did not occur until after upgrading the Captivate to CM10.2.1

Oh misread your post.
If forgetting and re-entering the network doesn't work, try another kernel (make sure it's compatible).

I am willing to give this a try, but I am still pretty new at this sort of thing. While I have rooted and put Cyanogen Mod on two phones, I have never tried different kernals. Would you be able to give me a short list of 3 or 4 compatible kernals that I could try?
Thanks much!

Just look in the Dev section and use one that matches your version (4.1, 4.2, etc).
NeatKernel seems to be popular around here.

Installed NeatKernal today so will see how it goes.
Thanks much for your help!

Installing NeatKernal didn't solve the problem, so decided to try the most recent CM 11 nightly....

After installing CM 11, the router and the phone still do not play nicely together. I contacted Linksys about this issue quite some time ago, but never received a response, so it is beginning to appear that the best solution is to simply replace the router. However, the Captivate is just a spare phone to play with, so it's not worth the extra expense and time, so will probably leave things as they are...
Cheers

My second N6, the same problem

I bought the Nexus 6 (blue, 64gb) the day one, in November and since that day I noticed random reboots in a particular situation. When I switch to a WiFi network to another it shuts down and so I have to turn it on. When it turns on I have lost all my WiFi networks configurations, so passwords, dhcp settings, etc.
Random reboots rarely happen also in camera/gallery apps.
I tried to send it back to google and I received a new nexus. The first one was produced in June 2014, the new one in December 2014. The issue is still there. [emoji17] I've also tried to update to 5.1 but no resolution.
I have rooted, installed twrp, decrypted both my nexus 6 with toolkit.
How can I solve the problem? I was very happy with this phone.

Try using it completely stock and see what happens. I'd say chances are that if you set both up the same, it's something you're doing and not the hardware on 2 different phones.

But other people have made the same basic mods on their nexus and their phone has not this kind of issue.

Is it every network? Maybe try a stable custom ROM to see if it happens there too. Could be a problem with specific networks or even apps. Troubleshooting is the key. First try full wipe, no restored Apps.

I could be as simple as an app the developer has not updated since gingerbread or something stupid like that.

Is there a way to find the malicious app?

There definitely *was* a bug causing loss of wifi networks, and I think there may also have been a reboot involved there (not sure if we rebooted it manually, or if it just did it on its own as a response to a wpa_supplicant crash...). It was across the board for Android 5.0 though, not limited to Nexus 6. I saw my wife's Nexus 5 do it once. Never actually had it happen on my 6.
I'm not sure if this bug was fixed or not, since it wasn't something we tried to reproduce, and only happened once. The bug is definitely related to wpa_supplicant, since that is the only program that actually interacts with its configuration file (which is where the wifi configurations are actually stored).
As far as galleries go, you're not giving much to guess by. I certainly haven't seen galleries cause reboots like that. Maybe you are using a bad one?
Try this gallery; https://github.com/lbdroid/Android-Binaries/blob/master/Gallery2.apk
That is the actual AOSP gallery, modified to install as a standalone application. The source code is in another repository on my github.
*note: it will not do you any good at all to swap out your phone, since there is no indication that you are experiencing a hardware issue.

But why other people doesn't experience this problem that is related to WiFi? All people use WiFi and every time. Is there a way to fix the WPA_supplicant issue? Maybe a custom ROM?
My first n6 had also an hw issue, I think, because before it rebooted it gave me some little "buzz" from the top speaker.

all people use WiFi is an incorrect statement. you can say most ppl use wifi, but all would never happen. I hate using WiFi and NEVER use it except when its absolutely necessary. ive probably used WiFi 2 times on my n6 since getting my n6 in November, and there's no WiFi issues here.

Yes, start with stock and install a few apps at a time until you get the problem. Given the fact that you have 2 different phones experiencing the same problem, it is much more likely that it is something software related rather than hardware (though I suppose it could be possible if you're really unlucky ).

You said that it happens when you change from one wifi network to another. Most people don't do that. Most people have one wifi network at a time and don't change it.
There is also a huge difference between wifi network configurations... A/B/N/AC, frequency, bandwidth, multiple-bands, encryptions, etc.

[Q] - Nexus 6 Wifi Slow

Hello All,
Just got a nexus 6 and went ahead and installed a custom rom (Pure Nexus).
Not sure if its a ROM issue or not (Trying a different rom shortly), but my wifi is terribly slow. I put it next to my amazon fire tablet and ran a speed test multiple times.
Amazon - Avg is 15-20
Nexus is 5-7
I have read some forums that says changing the band helps or forgetting the network and readding but no luck.
Anyone else have any tips before I have to send it back for a new one?

How old is your router?

Less than a year. ATT UVerse provided router.

No problems here, I did a 135 down and 50 up on Comcast router

Looks like something with the Rom. I put Chroma on it and now get around 20 down. I do not think its app related as I just restored all using TB.
Going to clean flash pure and try again.

It's not Pure Nexus, but something else. I'm getting 160 down, 12 up (802.11ac) on Pure Nexus. Have you updated your device's baseband to the latest?

Stock ROM, 802.11n, reaching ISP cap of 60/10 on web speed tests.

Found out it was a rogue app that caused it. Thanks for your responses. Can you point me to the latest baseband? I saw the Modem Collection thread here but the latest looks to be for the M preview back on 7/10?

Go to Google's firmware page and download the latest firmware package. Extract the files inside. I believe there will be an additional archive in the firmware package that you can extract that will contain the radio image.

I was having slow WiFi issues too. I updated the firmware on my router and switched the channel and now it flies.

That's not so easy to do when the entire 2.4GHz band is congested with connections, as it is in my area. Simply changing the channel didn't work for me, and I had to get new hardware that supported 5GHz. The gamers and video watchers in the house all appreciated it.

Other phone is same?

my problem previously was the same..i tried it with stock and aosp based roms, then i went to asked my sister to call our isp.. and the technician was able to verify the problems.. it was our internet cable.. they replaced it and it worked back to normal..

I had a similar problem, but only with the 2.4Ghz band, I live in an apartment complex and in Los Angeles so it's even worse. Luckily nobody uses the 5Ghz band so that works fine for me.

Update but found out that the issue is that my wifi slows down when my BT is on. Does not have to be connected, just have to be on...

Another Update is that I found out the combo is...
Wifi Connected + BT on (Does not have to be connected) + RetailMeNot App
I froze RTMN and now there is no slowness.

So the app is the culprit, not the combination of bluetooth and WiFi. Good thing you got it sorted.

Fickle Wifi

Hello all, I have my nexus 6 on my homes WiFi and from time to time while loading content I'll see that there is no data coming in or out(status bar let's me know), yet I'm still connected to the WiFi and other devices are able to load things at the same time. And then at other times it will disconnect from the network, fiddle with LTE for about 10 seconds and then reconnect, it makes all my apps believe I'm offline until it reconnects like 30 seconds later. Anything you can think of thats messing with me?

Have you posted in the Pure Nexus or Elemental thread to see if anyone is experiencing something similar? You might consider flashing back to stock to see if it's hardware.

Will go ahead and try the other forums and then try stock for a day if they haven't noticed anything, thanks!

Some have luck freezing Google Connectivity Service. Read the reviews here.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.gcs&hl=en
Switching to legacy wifi in Developer Opions, Networking helps some.
I get drops from my bluetooth to my watch and then wifi drops. It comes back in a few seconds, but frustrating. I've seen more reports of the N6, but all Nexii seem affected. Search the N6 forum to see the reports, there are plenty, instead of posting the same questions again, it is not a large number of us, but it is constant irritation to those of us who have it.

Are you referring to "Use legacy DHCP client" in Developer options? That's the only option I see that looks like it might be legacy WiFi. I've been having lots of Bluetooth dropouts on both my headset and Android Wear watch.
Also, what would I lose if I freeze Google Connectivity Service?

Yes, legacy DHCP client.
On freezing Google Connectivity Services, all I know is what is in the play store link, or if you Google it, there are plenty of hits on this Bt and Wifi drop issue with Nexus. I see no real changes with freezing it and changing the legacy DHCP. Since BT and Wifi are controlled by kernel modules, I've tried all kinds of kernels, and nothing seems to help much.
I'm running Pure Nexus ROM (July) and ElementalX kernel (August). I've tried stock Nexus ROM and kernel and all kinds of ROM/kernel combos.
From what I see, it is a Nexus problem with some devices.
I turned off Wifi in my Huawei watch and turned off cloud sync in the Android Wear app, and they has helped with watch BT dropouts.

this sucks, im suffering from the same issue, thought this was my router problem,changed it, didnot work , now i know it was google services, any solution? freezing the connectivity services didnt help

Have y'all tried different radios? flashable radios thread

Radios are only for cellular data.
Bluetooth and Wifi are controlled by the kernel modules, so radios have no effect on bluetooth or wifi.

Thanks again! I just turned off cloud sync too, so hopefully these changes will help.

I am having the same issue with Wifi, the only thing that helped was upgrading to Android N beta. That solved my connection problems but since I can't use exposed I went back to 6.0.
