Wifi Issues?

Is anyone else having an issue where your device will be hooked up to a wifi network, will still indicate you're connected but no data will sync? I email myself and nothing happens. Happens with FB, Email, Gmail, and Voice Controls don't work.

I have that issue with my gNex and my wife's DNA on our home network. I don't think it is necessarily this phone, but I am not convinced (yet) that it is my router, either...

It comes and goes, it looks almost app specific. I say Hello Google Now, and it seems to lock up on recognition or says it can't connect to google....but I'm able to browse the internet.

Yeah I've been having a ton of WiFi issues with this phone.

I called Moto and after dealing with their terrible level 1 support I got the following:
HERE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR DOING THE WIPE CACHE PARTITION:
This will remove any temporary files that may be causing the problem, but will not delete your files or settings.
1. With the phone powered off, press the VOL DOWN KEY for 2-3 seconds then POWER key then release.
2. The device will display different BOOT OPTIONS
3. Use the VOL DOWN Key to SCROLL to Recovery and VOL UP Key to select
Tip: If the device reboots, you may have waited to long to make a selection, you will need to begin the process again.
4. The device will display the Motorola logo and then the Android in distress ( logo with Exclamation mark)
5. Press and hold the VOL UP key for 10-15 seconds. While still holding the VOL UP key tap and release the POWER key
Tip: You can try this step, holding the phone in landscape. If you are stuck on step 6, try a force reboot by pressing the Power key and Vol Down key, and start the process again.
6. The device will display additional menu options (Text will appear in BLUE)
7. Use the VOL DOWN Key to scroll to wipe cache partition and the POWER Key to select this option
8. The device will then perform the partition wipe
9. The device will reboot and start the normal power up sequence
Ever since it hasn't had any problems, but it's only been a few hours as well.

The issues started happening again...turned off wifi and everything resynced perfectly...

If it doesn't work properly with a different router try exchanging it. Also have you gone into advanced WiFi settings and forced the moto x to 2.4 GHz? If give that a try.

The force to 2.4ghz actually made the problem occur a lot faster, any reason it might be due to the massive amount of wifi networks around? When I set to scan 5 ghz there was only one still open, I might go into my router and see if I can change the atenna settings.
EDIT: Turns out if I go to 5 ghz my computer can't connect, but I changed the channel to something less populated in the area to see if that helps.
DOUBLE EDIT: It appears to occur after I'm supposed to get a Facebook notification, at that point I don't get any more notifications....attempting to clear out facebook data and cache to see if that does anything

Try disabling WMM on your router.

Forgive the stupid, but what's WMM short for in case that's not readily apparent?
Edit: I've also noticed the problem is exponentially worse after I upload pictures to facebook
Edit Edit: Found WMM, turned it off, let's see what happens.

I has this kind of issue before and did a cold boot but nothing happaned. so my last option was to do a restore. After that, my WIFI connection got okay again. problem solved :silly:

You mean full reset? It looks like I may have to do that with the idle battery drain issue anyways....so that's the last resort.

Hey guys I'm having a similar issue with my moto x on the 2.4ghz band. Speeds are very slow and sometimes cut out completely. Im getting a download speed of about 300kb/s on 2.4 both on auto channel and it doesn't rlly change once I change it manually to an open channel using WiFi analyzer app. My download speeds on 5ghz hit 4000kb/s even with a much lower signal strength.
YouTube and Netflix is unusable and growing the internet sucks. I usually just use the 4g network while at home cuz its a thousand times faster but I'd like this to be fixed regardless. Has anyone found a solution or explanation?

I'm having these issues too. Got the GSM Developer Edition on 11/29. It immediately updated to Kit Kat OTA so I'm not sure whether it had the issue prior to Kit Kat or not. This only happens on 2.4 ghz wifi and only with one of my routers at home, a Netgear WNDR3700v2 running OpenWrt Attitude Adjustment (I tried upgrading from Backfire to see if it would help, it did not). The other router is a Linksys WRT350N and when the phone is connected to that one the problem does not happen. Note, that there are 2 laptops, a Samsung Galaxy S2, and a Kindle Fire HDX that have zero problems with the WNDR3700. All can transfer data perfectly fine and at high speeds. Thus I do not think the router is bad. Have not checked work routers. 5 ghz wifi is totally fine and indeed very good with this phone.
For me, the problem is that the phone seems unable to receive data at high speed (over 1Mbps) on 2.4 ghz wifi in any area where the signal isn't perfect and sometimes even in the same room as the router (although usually it is fine there). Oddly in many cases when it has trouble receiving it can send data much faster. It almost seems like it might be some kind of interference as it is rather random.
At this point I'm wondering if the phone has a defective 2.4ghz subsystem, though that seem unlikely due to good transfer with the WRT350N, or if this is some kind of wifi tuning software bug in the phone.
Any info would be appreciated. Does anyone have this issue who did not have the issue on Jellybean? Am wondering if anything changed with wifi for the update? Note, I have tried clearing the cache in recovery as noted in another thread with no luck. Anyone have the WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini file from Jellybean for this phone? Would rather not reflash just for 1 file.
Thanks.

For what it's worth I have this same Netgear router and have had the same connectivity issues on both 4.2.2 and 4.4.
I did some reading today and found a couple possible fixes I plan on trying out. First one is to disable WMM. Secondly I found on the official netgear forums that they have had major issues (some of which you've described) with all firmwares ending in the .30s and went so far as to pull them from their download section.
My router was running firmware .36 and I successfully downgraded it to the latest stable firmware .12 that netgear now recommends.
Hopefully 1 of those 2 fixes improves the performance, at any rate I really think it's something with the router itself and not the moto x.

Thanks for letting me know this was also an issue on 4.2.2. Saves me the trouble of flashing back just to test.
I will be interested to know if your using official netgear 1.0.0.12 firmware fixes the issue for you. I haven't actually ever used the official firmware as I've run OpenWRT since I got the router a year or two ago. 10.03.1 had the issue, and it appears 12.09 does as well. I may try a trunk build at some point to see if that changes anything.
I had previously written that all was well on the 5 ghz band. This appears to not be 100% correct. Yesterday evening and this morning I found myself "connected" to the 5ghz band without actually having working internet. Toggle wifi on/off fixes it, but I shouldn't have to do it.
Not sure if this helps, but on the 2.4 ghz side things do work better on one side of the house vs the other. Also it seems that I can get a very fast connection at times and then it stumbles and gets stuck going under 1 Mbps. I still suspect either a defect or some kind of low level radio issues with the moto or the router regarding interference from neighboring wifi access points (there are a lot around me, single family houses on small lots). However, keep in mind no other device has these issues but the moto. In the rare instance I venture into a bad signal pocket the signal indicator goes down and speed slows or they lose connection vs the moto where it can show excellent signal and have no/nearly no connectivity.
I haven't tried it for long, but switching to wireless g mode vs ng may improve stability though I only briefly tried it. I did walk around part of my house checking the Mbps with the app "WiFi Speed Test" and while way slower than N mode it was far more stable. Even if this does work it is a definate downgrade in speed though.

Well its only been a day or two so it may be too early to tell, but so far my wifi seems much better after making those two fixes I mentioned above. This is on 2.4 band, the 5ghz band doesn't provide me enough signal strength to use all the time (router is too far from my bedroom).
The main issue I was having was my wifi signal would cut out even though it still showed a good connection. I could swipe down on the status bar and see no download arrow next to the wifi icon so I knew I wasn't receiving data. However a simple disconnect and reconnect to my wifi would fix the problem until it happened again. This seemed to be most common while watching YouTube videos, in fact it happened far too often which is why I went searching for a solution.
So as I mentioned things seem to be better for sure so far but I need to give it a week or so to see how much it is really helped, but so far I can't remember any wifi cutting out since I've made those two fixes.

[Q] So about the wifi issues...

A number of people have been having issues with wifi, myself included. I keep going over my monthly data restriction. I want to know if this is affecting everyone or only a subset of people. If it's the latter, I'll call customer service and get a replacement.

Can you describe the issue a little more? Try testing your connection with Aruba Utilities.
Sent from my Moto X

don't know what the OPs issues are, but I just got the Moto X yesterday and it is not liking my home wifi. Every other wifi I've been on today (at work) has worked great. At home it connects to my router and shows great signal but nothing internet related will load. Everynow and then it will work only to stop working randomly. I have comcast with their ARRIS gateway.
All my other devices at home (roku, dish DVRs, iphone, ipad, GNex, laptops) work fine.

If you have a dual band router, set the frequency settings to either 2.4 or 5ghz instead of auto. I initially had inconsistent Wi-Fi functionality until I did this, now it seems to be fine. I have an Asus ac56u.

Just like tabbibus said, it shows great signal and has no problem quickly connecting, but nothing loads 3/4ths of the time. For example, I ran speedtest and it stopped partway through the upload even though it was still connected. I can't change router settings because I rely on college wifi.
So it seems like half get the issue and half don't?

The frequency setting is in your advanced Wi-Fi settings on your phone. Set it to 2.4 instead of auto and see if that helps.

It means you have low bandwidth. Something on your network is hogging your internet resources. Stopping that porn download usually helps! lol just teasing.
I had this problem when my pc started uploading music to google play. I'm guessing my pc was hogging the network. I bumped my phone up the list of Qos services in my router so it cleared it up. I couldn't find a setting in my phone that would let me turn off the alert.

I play call of duty ghosts on my 360 online all the time and never had it pop up. I only noticed it when I was uploading 7000 songs to google play. And it only uploads 2 songs at a time!! It's not the routers fault we're getting the warning. It's our download/upload speed overall from our internet provider. The only way it could be a routers fault is if you have your device set low on Qos priority.

Isn't there a wifi issue with the Note 3? I've been getting that message daily for the last week even though no Internet usage is occurring and my speed is very high.
It's very annoying. For example, it can't stay connected to the router at work at all. It never could actually, ever since I purchased this device. It disconnects immediately after telling me it's unstable which it says the second it connects to the router, even though the connection and signal are excellent. It never happened with the Note 2 at either location, home or work.
I wouldn't be so quick to blame your connection, bandwidth usage or router settings. Think back, did this ever occur with your previous device? I bet the answer is no.

check your phones wifi setting. setting>wifi>menu>advanced i unchecked auto network switch and it doesn't show the notice

I have this problem atleast once a day even though this is the only device on my network and it lasts about ten minutes each time. I cracked out the note 2014 and checked speed while my phone refused to connect because network is slow and wouldn't ya know 12Mbps down 3 up with no probs connecting. Ran into this on the 2014 stock with adblock+ running. Disabled it and no probs since. Wonder if the adblock in xnote is causing this. Anyone else rommed with some type of adblock that is or is not having this problem? Need info to find out. Thanks.

Hmm I am rooted with an ad block in place. I'll disable it when I go to work and see what happens.

I remember getting that annoying message early on, around thanksgiving, so it stopped quite a while ago. I was thinking, WTH, I never got this from my other phones.

I don't have adblock installed on my GN3

I've had the sane issue, but it is now fixed. I originally had GPS issues with my Note 3 and finally decided to replace it at an AT&T service center. The replacement I got had a functioning GPS, but was having the same WiFi issues as the OP. I got on the phone with AT&T and Samsung and after 2 more replacement phones, I was about to give up.
In desperation, I called my ISP (Uverse) and they suggested I change my WiFi channel to a fixed channel rather than auto and it worked. It is clearly an issue with the WiFi chip in the newer Note 3's but the workaround worked for me. I set it back to auto channel and it failed again almost immediately. Apparently every time the channel on my router changed, the connection was deemed unstable.

She better be putting out then!

I'm having major WiFi problems.

I can't stop having WiFi problems with this phone. My internet is perfectly fine. I've never had WiFi problems on any other android phone, and even an iPhone. Images or screenshots in the play store don't load at all. No matter what I do I cannot get them to load. I take off WiFi and they load fine. I go on my moms G2 to test the play store and it's fine on hers, and same with my brothers. Computers are fine. I've even tried to connect to the few websites they allow at school on their network and they either take forever to load or sometimes I get network errors. I literally don't know what to do. I thought it was a custom rom issue but now I'm restored back to stock and it's still a problem. Instgram connection will time out when refreshing, chrome doesn't load pages, twitter cant refresh, and more. On BlissPop I would turn WiFi off and back on and it wouldnt show my connection again until I rebooted. I dont know if that was a problem with the rom, but it was happening. Any ideas what's wrong? I'm clueless as of know. Don't know what to do anymore.

From what I've read, it says to avoid channels 12 and 13 on 2.4G.

download wifi analyzer from the play store, it will suggest the best channel so you aren't running into your neighbors wifi

I'm having exactly the same issue. When I picked up my N6 at the AT&T store the setup failed on their wifi, but worked fine once I used LTE instead. I'm having the same issue everywhere, though -- wifi doesn't work 99% of the time. The Play Store will load app names, but the images never show up. Play Music hangs while trying to download songs, etc. Turn off wifi and immediately everything starts loading at the expected near-instant speed.
I've tried reflashing 5.0 (how it came out of box) and 5.0.1, same issue. My wifi is dual band, and neither 2.4 nor 5 ghz works. I've tried it at my parents' house too, which is 2.4-only (and I did the network layout and setup) but still no dice.
If nobody can suggest a course of action I'll be taking the phone back to the AT&T Store tomorrow as a dud. Basically I just wanted to confirm that this isn't some documented software bug that'll be patched soon.

I have a Netgear dual band and no issues with connectivity.

I originally had WiFi frequency band set to 5GHz only and could not connect. I had no problems after changing it to Automatic.

WiFi Connecting Issue

My N6 only connects fully to my WiFi when I bring the device within 2 or 3 feet of the AP. At medium signal strength it tries to get an IP and fails, put it near the AP and it connects up instantly.
I seem to be suffering this alone as I can't find the issue reported anywhere else.
APs are Ubiquiti Unifi's

What channel is your WiFi on? The Nexus does have issues with certain channels.

Channel 13 but all channels are pretty clear.

Did you forget the network from your nexus WiFi settings and then connect and sign in again? Reboot modem and nexus after settings changed?

Couple times, I am able to roam between my 2 APs without issue, its only when first connecting, like restarting WiFi on the device or coming from gsm.

Are you on 5.1? I found this older thread:

And this:

I'm running 5.1, thanks for the links. I'll check and try FW upgrades on my APs, its odd tho as we have multiple devices, from old to quite new and only the N6 has a problem.

It's not unheard of though. That's why I've been searching for a possible solution that's already out there.

Thanks, really appreciate it.
