Anyways, I'm currently running Rooted Stock 2.3.4 on my N1, and I've noticed that whenever I connect to my friend's DLink router (DIR-655, I think) the Wireless will work for some amount of time, but eventually it will stop working. And not just on my phone, either - the entire router stops working (at least for Wireless requests. Didn't have any wired devices connected to it). Thing is, last time I noticed it, it worked for quite a while - hour or two, maybe - then everything broke about 10 minutes after I received an email... At that point, the router needs to be rebooted, after which it continues working just fine.
The router is using WPA2 encryption, for what it's worth.
I've noticed this with previous versions of Android, so it's not a breaking change introduced with 2.3.4 or anything.
Unfortunately, I don't have an awful lot of Wireless routers to test with, and I haven't yet found an opportunity to test at home, so I'd be hard-pressed to say whether it's a router/D-Link problem, or if it's a device problem...
Has anyone else experienced this? Would flashing a custom ROM (e.g. CM7) fix this? Or would I need a new device? Any thoughts on what else I could do to debug this problem? As I said, this is a rooted device, with an unlocked bootloader and the latest version of Busybox installed.
I'm running 2.3.4 and haven't had this issue with this version or any previous ones.
I've had my phone disconnect from Google Services (the icons turn white instead of green), but the internet stays on and all other devices work just fine.
I have a Netgear router at home and a Linksys one at work and I'm connected to both the whole time I'm at either place.
Hmm... That's interesting.
I've never had Google Services disconnect, but I do have another issue with data randomly turning off. That's not a big deal, as I can just turn it actually off then back on again, and all is good.
Anyone else able to chime in with their experiences?
I have had this happen with cheap, crappy routers. Sometimes upgrading the router to DD-WRT helps, sometimes it doesn't. I had an ASUS this would happen to all the time, and an Airlink that this would happen to occasionally.
This doesn't ever happen to my Linksys WRT610N, and it never happened to an old ZyXEL X550.
I'm going to say, it's just a crappy router.
Thanks. Not really what I was hoping to hear, but that's life.
Did either bad router ever have this issue with other devices? One of the other folks living there has an iPad, and never has this issue, so I'm inclined to say it's at least partly my N1s fault. Also doesn't happen with any of the PCs connected to it.
Yeah, they actually did occasionally have issues with other devices. Hard to narrow it down because I have a ton of Wifi devices. The ASUS also seemed to go down based on time... after so long, it would just stop working properly. The Airlink seemed to get stuck based on demand and range. If I had my phone or laptop at the far end of the house and started using it a lot, it would get stuck. It was as if the router decided it was too much work to pump its signal that far and it would get tired.
Stock ROM on my N1 doesn't seem to allow it, but if you have a custom ROM, you might see if there is any way to set the Wifi to G-only. I had noticed on my old router that G wireless devices seemed less demanding for it.
Hello,
Recently took the CM plunge with my Nook HD+
Love how the lag and general sluggishness is gone, however, I have noticed something regarding streaming video. I work with a sports stats company that requires live game statistics. I have been using my tablet mainly for streaming ESPN, Big Ten Network, Xfinity TV. Since I flashed and rooted, I have noticed a pretty substantial lag in the games (If I open the application from the iPad or computer, I am noticing anywhere from a minute to 3 minute delay). Normally, you would most likely tell me "who cares", but since a major portion of the job requires speed and timeliness, I have been struggling with this lag.
Would there be any settings out there to tweak? It's obviously not the router, since before I flashed CM, it was on par with the iPad and computer versions of the app.
Thanks to anyone out there with assistance. Love what you guys do for this place.

If you can really guarantee that its not something else then just go back to the official. Make a backup of cm first so you can go right back if you want or need to.
Odd issue with my Droid Turbo. Google services and certain apps, including Reddit Sync, facebook and youtube, all lag/hang over wifi. Over LTE there is no lag.
I have a 6th gen (newest) Airport Extreme with firmware 7.7.3 (latest) and notice the same slow, laggy performance on the 2.4ghz and 5ghz network. Passowrd is a WPA2 Personal (AES).
I've seen reports so far on a lot of newer android devices (4.4.4 and lolipop) with slow wifi performance, not just the turbo. Curious if any of the other owners here have laggy wifi? Sometimes it will start to load and hang, hit refresh and it'll load 50% of the way, refresh it again and it will finally load.
I've tried a factory reset, clearing problematic apps cache, uninstalling and re-installing problematic apps, resetting router/modem, changed my phones wifi profile dhcp to 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4, no change in the wireless performance.
Only thing I haven't tried is a new wireless channel on my router. But since both 2.4ghz and 5ghz display the same problem, I ruled that out.
Funny thing is a speedtest over wifi gives me my full 100 down. Once it loads it's fast, just takes 20-30 seconds of lag before loading.
Thanks all!
I started a thread on reddit about it. Other Droid Turbo owners are experiencing the same exact issues. Posting a link for reference.

I've noticed the same thing. I've tried it from a netgear R8000 and a Asus rt-ac3200. Same exact thing. I notice it with chrome and google+ alot. Don't have a fix though

Thanks for the reply. I was waiting to see if anyone else experienced these problems before I posted back.
At least for me, this slow and lag filled wifi experience is ruining the droid turbo. Fingers crossed issues are resolved with lolipop

I chatted with moto last night about the laggy and poor ranged wifi and a couple other issues. I have a screen flicker when using google messenger and capacitive buttons stop working at times. They had me factory reset last night (which I really didn't want to do). They said if it doesn't help they will send me a new device.
I've had a weird half-load the page, stall, then finish loading thing going on for awhile (droid turbo).
Chrome, Firefox, Dolphin, all behave the same. Speed tests are fine, I've had zero wifi
connectivity problems other than the antenna is weak on these phones, IM/SMS works fine,
I seem to get the stalls in youtube but not netflix that I can tell but that's some pretty
iffy observation. The page loading behavior is steady.
I think that it loads fine on LTE, I can click wifi OFF when a page is stalled and it loads.
I can follow the same link and open in a different browser and it'll load right up if I leave it on LTE.
Something is up, I can't tell what but it's been there awhile now. It's really, really, really annoying.
Factory reset didn't fix it, and it did it with no apps installed.
If L don't pop up soon and fix this, bye bye Turbo, will miss your battery..
I'm getting a replacement device for the screen flicker. Let you know if it helps any of the page loading problems but I doubt it.

I'm not holding my breath but I bought this the day it came out. Unless the early ones had a problem I expect to see no difference. The lack of replies here either means no one has the problem or just lack of commenting.
I have the slow loading also. I did the factory reset but it seems as I put more apps on it's getting slow again and stalls at times. would a new device fix this?

I got a new one today but didn't have a lot of time to play with it. It came late due to the snow then I had to go snow blow. Google+ is definitely way better but Chrome pages still stall during loading. I'll update when I have more time to play with it. Any apps you want me to compare?

Hey, glad you got the replacement! The play store always stalls, along with reddit sync. If you could test either of those, that's be great
Thanks much man!

After really playing with it I don't think its any better especially on Chrome. Google+ is the only thing that seems improved. I have tried it on all of the newest ac3200 routers as well.
On the plus side my battery life has been awesome. But still the wifi sucks. My old device had a build date of 9/28. The new one is 11/8.
I still kinda think there is a router chipset that the Turbo doesn't like. I have this problem at work, despite it being a 100/100 connection. At home on 50/5, its just fine, be it 5ghz or 2.4.

This is sad, I will be sending mine back and just wait for the m9 plus. I didn't realize how much I used wifi until i starting having wifi issues.
Thanks for the update

I feel the same way, but am beyond the return period. I started a broader search and it seems like the Moto X has similar wifi issues. Maybe it's more of a Motorola issue.
I'm using a 6th gen airport extreme, how about you?

I started off with a Netgear D6230 , Then I bought a ASUS RT-AC87U and saw no difference so I returned that and kept my D6230 . I had no problem buying a new router but it was only 6 months old and made no sense. My ipads ran fine on both routers along with two xbox's, GS4, GS3, Samsung TV Roku. BTW I ordered a Nexus 6 , I will miss the battery life.
Same issues here. Hope to get some traction!
Here 's the thread on the Motorola forum about the turbo app data lag over wifi.

Thought I'd pass it along.
I have a netgear r7000 and r8000. I've noticed if upnp, usb features are enabled, or dhcp is used, these erroneous issues tend to occur. Since disabling, i haven't had any of these issues. Also comcast turned up ipv6, which was also an issue...disabled in the routers and in my switch, and issues disappeared. Turbo wifi works excellenet
I've been testing my Fi android one x4 on Verizon off and on the last week. Generally all has worked fine. Reception has been similar to my S3. But the one area I am having issues with is internet connectivity. Most of the time it works fine, but when streaming music it will get 'stuck' and pause. When this happens if I switch to a web browser, it too gets stuck loading a page. it may stay this way for 15-30seconds. Sometimes it'll start back up fine after, other times it will be bursty as if it were having buffering issues.
I've noticed this with Pandora, Spotify as well as 2 classical streaming apps. If i move my Verizon sim back to my S3, I do not see this issue on the S3. It will stream w/o an issue for hours. Same is true for the x4 if I pop the Fi sim back in. Note in all these cases it is operating in cellular mode (not wifi) with mid-level LTE signal quality - for both the x4 and S3.
has anyone seen behavior like this? Or know if a different android version or firmware image is needed for optimal Verizon behavior? Googling and searching here hasn't found a related issue. Right now my lineageOs based S3 is the best choice if I end up sticking with Verizon.
Note at this point the phone (xt1900-1) is still unrooted Pie.
Thanks
