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...

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

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.

I had about 7 Android devices, all utilizing my home wifi network without any problems, before I bought my Moto X. When I use my Moto X on my home wifi, and I go into Google Play Store, I get a lot of connection errors when browsing around, looking for apps to download. Images either load slowly or not at all, and it will sometimes say that there is "No connection" and it gives me a button to "Retry". All the while, my wifi connection never disconnects. I also notice other things like delays opening websites in Chrome - delays that I never see on my other Android devices (which have much less processing power)... Or issues like Google Maps not loading all of the images when I shift to another grid section on the map.
I'm using an old-but-stable Linksys WRT54G as my wireless access point. The signal usually stays in between 50-100%. Just to be clear, I have *zero* network issues on the 10-20 devices connected in my household. I only have issues on my Moto X.
Is anyone else having similar issues?
I have the Verizon Moto X and I've noticed my WiFi going crazy a couple times. When I turn wifi on when I'm home, sometimes it will turn on them immediately turn off again. Then when I turn it back on it takes about 30 seconds for it to start trying to connect to my WiFi.

OK but that's very different from what i'm describing
I had a similar issue with my HTC one. And that was because my WiFi was on auto channel. And the HTC was operating at its very limit of band frequency. Everything would slow to a crawl.
I solved the issue by changing router to be channel 6. Could be worth a shot

I've had just the opposite results. I have a Belkin n600 dual band wireless router, and surprisingly, when I first enabled WiFi on my Moto X, it displayed a 5GHz SSID that I had set up a while ago and never use because none of my devices use 5GHz--until now. I get a solid, stable connection with my Moto X, and speed tests rock. I've had zero issues with Internet connectivity, and connecting to my home server to stream music (with ES File Explorer) has been solid and stutter-free.
When I use the WiFi Analyzer app, I have about 16 visible neighboring access points, but all are on 2.4GHz. My 5GHz connection is truly wide open.
I've had similar issues, the wifi wouldn't stay connected but said it would, but eventually all notifications would flood in at once. Turning it off and on would resolve it, hopefully it gets resolved quickly.

so far the only really visible problem is the errors on Google Play Store. so if you're constantly on Play Store and you never get the white screen with the "Retry" button, then yes i would agree you are having no issues. otherwise i'm not so sure you would know there was a problem.

I seem to have a lot of latency when loading FB (blank images) or when opening the G+ Photos app. If I disconnect Wifi and use my 4G connection, everything loads almost instantly. The weird thing is that when I'm connected to Wifi and I run a Speedtest, I consistently see 20+ Mbps down and 5-6 Mbps up so everything seems to be fine.

Have you got any idea of what settings I should look? Here I have an iPhone and blackberry and both have their wifi working like a charm.
Updating the firmware of your router would be the first thing to try.
Set your WiFi connection to 2.4ghz only (on your phone) and deactivate the 802.11n standard (on your router). In my Fritz!Box, i had to chose 802.11 b+g. The razr i doesn't like the n standard, although it "officially" supports it.

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.

Sent via Tapatalk on Shamu
I originally had WiFi frequency band set to 5GHz only and could not connect. I had no problems after changing it to Automatic.
So my accesspoint now supports WPA3 in beta.
This seems to work great with my apple products but I have some issues using wpa3 with my Pixel 4 XL.
At first I had to delete the WiFi and reenter the passphrase to get WPA3 working.
Then after a few hours the phone disconnects and asks for the passphrase again but can't connect. Keeps asking for passphrase again and again. I have to disable and enable WiFi to get it working again. This happens every few hours.
For me this looks more like a pixel related problem then a problem related to my access point, isn't it? But with WPA2 everything works fine.
Anyone else out there running WPA3 personal with Pixel 4/XL experiencing problems?

So my accesspoint now supports WPA3 in beta.
This seems to work great with my apple products but I have some issues using wpa3 with my Pixel 4 XL.

I know late answer but better as none.
I just activate WPA3 on my AVM Repeater 3000 and i have the same problems.
I needed to delete the passphrase and connect again
because before that the phone didn't change to WPA3.
And when the connection going away unexpectly i must deactivate and activate the wlan once.
I don't know whether this happens so often as by you because i'm running wpa3 since an hour (round about).
And well i have a few hickups in wpa2, too. So i can't say whether this is wpa3 specific.
I know that doesn't help you really but well at least you are not the only one with that problem.
Nice to see I'm not the only one experiencing these problems.
Have you reported the problem to AVM?

Not yet.
One thing to try is in your WiFi profile > Advanced > Privacy = Use device MAC.

I already do this because i'm using MAC whitelisting.
The issues with WPA3 and FRITZ!Box router/ap seems to be fixed with March Update and/or latest beta/"Labor" firmware for Fritz ?
@dhacke can you confirm this?

Wow they are fast. I wrote to them at monday and now they have already a labor update?!
Great. I will install the labor update on my wlan repeater on Sunday and report back.
@Doenerbude
today i installed the new labor update on my fritz repeater 3000 and sadly it doesn't help.
My connection aborts are so high as before. I'm back on wpa2 again.
I have issues with WPA3 as well. I switched it on the Google Nest WiFi and whilst my Chromebook doesn't face any issues, my Pixel 4XL is randomly disconnecting from the network.
I've also noticed that when I walk in my apartment, it doesn't connect automatically. I have to switch off the WiFi on the phone and switch it back on to connect to the WiFi network.
This issue does not appear when WPA3 is switched off. I initially thought it's a poor implementation on the Nest WiFi but perhaps not?

I believe meanwhile the implementation in our phone is the problem. That would explain why the problem occurs on different wpa3 router/aps.
As far as i know the pixel 4 xl isn't a wifi6 certified device and only wifi6 certfified devices are required to support wpa3.
That could explain the bad implementation.
