I'm having major WiFi problems. - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

2.4G. I found that article a couple days ago. My routers WiFi is 2.4G so I changed my WiFi to connect to only 2.4G in settings, and it's not fixing the problem.

Try changing the channel if you have that option available.

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.

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 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.

Moto X WiFi problems

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.

Just like to add my voice to those having no issues with wifi on their Moto X. Also, I spend 90% of my day on wifi with it so I have tested it significantly.

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.
FYI, I've already tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45335708&postcount=5
When that didn't work, I restored my phone.

yep, that fits the bill alright.

[Q] Anyone having Wifi issues with N6?

I just got the new monster nexus 6 and I have a wifi problem where it simply will not connect to my work network. It doesn't say authentication problem it just pops back and forth between "saved" and "connecting". I was able to connect to my home network no problem and there's no issue with access control. They're both WPA2 and I've quadruple checked the password. I also know it works on everyone else's phones so it seems there's just some unknown issue with getting the nexus 6 to connect. Can't imagine anyone has any good ideas but has anyone else seen wifi problems with their nexus 6?
I've done the easy stuff like reboot phone and forget and re-enable network and manually enter network but wondering if there's some kind of bug. It doesn't even say "authentication problem" when i try a wrong passcode for ages but it eventually will. Very strange stuff
Does the work wireless have any sort of mac address filtering enabled? And available DHCP address leases? Those would be the two things that pop up in my head first.

The IT guy didn't seem to think there was MAC filtering and I wouldn't think so as I had my nexus 5 here a while back but I'll probably test tomorrow by bringing in my N7 2013 that's never been in the office and now has lollipop and see if it gives me trouble as well.
I'll have to learn more about terminal commands and see about the logcat as well to see if there's any hints why it's failing. Haven't got that deep into that in years though.
Having a different WiFi issue... Mine will connect, show great signal, but the connection is not great. Pages eventually come up, but response is so slow... Only device that behaves this way. Not sure if it's a compatibility issue with my rourer or a crappy driver on the nexus or hardware. I'll need to see if the problem is just my home or all WiFi connections...
Same issue here
I have the same issue with my N6 , i cant connect to the WIFI at work it goes from "connecting" to "saved" the security is PEAP. But my Home wifi works fine.

Here's hoping it gets fixed with the 5.0.1 update.

Having a different WiFi issue... Mine will connect, show great signal, but the connection is not great. Pages eventually come up, but response is so slow... Only device that behaves this way. Not sure if it's a compatibility issue with my rourer or a crappy driver on the nexus or hardware. I'll need to see if the problem is just my home or all WiFi connections...[/QUOT
same problem here.....I'm unable to understand if is my nexus 6 (hardware issue ) ....upgrading to 5.0.1 didn't solve the problem

Turns out the problem I had was due to my dlink router. Changed it out and the issues went away. I didn't have any Wi-Fi issues at work or at public Wi-Fi, so I took the chance that it was a compatibility thing with my router. It was...

Nexus 6 wifi authentication problem
youareme7 said:
I just got the new monster nexus 6 and I have a wifi problem where it simply will not connect to my work network. It doesn't say authentication problem it just pops back and forth between "saved" and "connecting". I was able to connect to my home network no problem and there's no issue with access control. They're both WPA2 and I've quadruple checked the password. I also know it works on everyone else's phones so it seems there's just some unknown issue with getting the nexus 6 to connect. Can't imagine anyone has any good ideas but has anyone else seen wifi problems with their nexus 6?
I've done the easy stuff like reboot phone and forget and re-enable network and manually enter network but wondering if there's some kind of bug. It doesn't even say "authentication problem" when i try a wrong passcode for ages but it eventually will. Very strange stuff

Having the exact same problem on my nexus 6. I do however get a warning 'authentication problem'. Re-entering password doesn't help. A reboot fixes the problem. Does not occur on my nexus 5. Hope this apparent bug is fixed in next lollipop update or sooner
I came across this, it's an older article but still relevant:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...uble-connecting-to-5-ghz-wi-fi-access-points/
I have the same problem.
Nexus 6 (Android 5.1), bootloader unlocked, and rooted.
The problem occurs sporadically, and only on one out of two SSIDs.
Firewall/Router is SonicWall TZ-215W.
The problematic SSID uses Windows PDC, DNS and DHCP server, and allows access to internal office network.
The good SSID uses public DNS servers, with no access to internal office network.
HCT-Vivid and LG G3 access the problematic SSID without an issue.
EDIT: The problem is solved by updating Sonicwall TZ-215W firmware to SonicOS Enhanced 5.9.0.7-17o.

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:

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.

Wifi Problem

I have the Verizon LG G2 device (VS980) with Android 5.0.2(39A) At this time, I'm not rooted but am experiencing a WiFi problem that is driving me nuts. Basically, anything that uses WiFi such as my browser, has a delayed reaction before actually downloading anything. Once it starts the speed is fine, but the problem is before that. It looks as if it uploads for 5-10 seconds and then downloads 5-10 more seconds later.
It shouldn't be an issue with my Linksys E1200 router as every other phone/tablet/laptop work fine and once the speed test is connected to the server, I get 20-30mbps which is normal. Again, the problem is like a delay before the downloading actually occurs. On average, it takes 15-20 seconds to start loading a page and then the speed of my internet kicks in fine. This happens every single time if the wifi hasn't been used for a few minutes.
My LTE service connects right away. I've tried forgetting the network and re-entering my network key and I don't really know what else to do.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Edit: I just went to McDonald's and even though their WiFi is slower and the ping is worse, the connection starts right away when going to a website. So maybe it is my router?
I have the exact same problem lol! My relatives Galaxy S4, Note 4, S6 and Nexus 4 (all on lollipop), seem to not be affected. Their phones run perfectly fine on my WiFi. I've tried multiple things to fix the problem, but none of them fix the problem permanently. The only way I could get a stable WiFi connection, is by using an ASOP, CM12, or stock KitKat rom. It looks like the issue has something to do with ipv6 (at least for me). I don't have the knowledge to tinker with WiFi and modem/router issues or settings. I did tried though lol. The best way I deal with the issue when I'm on stock, is by using an app named "disable ipv6 root" or something like that. It does require root and you have to keep toggling on the disable feature every time you reconnect to your WiFi or reboot the phone. Hopefully, maybe somebody else with more knowledge on WiFi and router settings can offer some help on how to permanently fix it.

Thanks for the response. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it has to do with my router. I hope to get a new one sometime soon but they're not exactly cheap for the ones I want to buy. I will probably flash ASOP or CM on to my phone at some point, just been too busy lately.
