Hello!
I finally did the upgrade to the Urbane rom to get Wifi working but I dont understand what is going on.
I followed the steps on the OP exactly as described.
I see that under Wifi, it can connect to Wifi network at work that my phone is also connected to.
Still if I walk far from my phone, it loses connection and the Wifi is not allowing me to keep that connection as I expected.
Am I missing something here?
Have you turned on cloud sync in the Androidwear settings.
Bought an Urbane yesterday and all works fine except WiFi is very unreliable. How long should it take to go from Bluetooth to a working WiFi connection? Often I see it connect to WiFi and know it has a data connection because I can pull up a web page on a mini browser app, but I can't use Ok Google commands or anything that requires a phone connection without getting the Disconnected error.
Sometimes it will start working after a few minutes. Sometimes it won't work until I get back in Bluetooth range. I've done all of the resetting of the Android Wear app, watch, Google Play Services, etc.
The other issue is that even over Bluetooth, when my phone is on WiFi itself the Ok Google stuff sometimes doesn't work. Again, the phone has a fast Internet connection but the watch apparently can't connect. Turning off WiFi on the phone and going to 4G/LTE makes everything work fine.
Thanks.
Tonight to be sure that everything was clear, I did a factory reset on both my phone (Galaxy S6) and my watch. The first issue seems better - when I walk to the other side of the house, it takes a couple of minutes to realize Bluetooth is gone and then hooks up to WiFi.
However, I'm still having that second issue - if my phone is connected via WiFi I can't do anything on the watch that requires connecting to it (Google Now commands, etc). If I put the phone on LTE, no problem. Strange. Is there a port that needs to be forwarded through the WiFi router or something like that?
Thanks.

Well, I had the same problem and had to open TCP port 5228 in my router. No more problems after that.

Hi, I'm new here so forgive me if I do something wrong^^
First of all, I have a Moto G 2014, Dual Sim which is running on 5.1.1, to be more specific, this ROM. I was using this ROM for about 4 months already so that shouldn't be the issue. My problem is that after my phone connects to the internet, usually using H+. The connection to the internet is working perfectly fine, but after a while of not using the phone it loses the connection. It still tells me that it got a strong H+ connection, but nothing (browser, apps, anything) is able to connect to the internet. Enabling & disabling airplane mode usually fixes the problem. From time to time it also happens, usually when I lost some sort of wifi connection (regardless if I disabled wifi or I got out of range) it happens that it shows full connectivity but with an exclamation mark. This only goes away if I reboot or enable & disable airplane mode again.
Is this issue known/is there any solution to
I have been experiencing the exact same thing as of lately. I thought it was a byproduct of downgrading from (Stock) Marshmallow to (Stock) Lollipop (yes! it's happening even on stock ROM) where at times the WiFi losses connectivity when the phone had been sleeping for awhile...even though I have the "Keep WiFi on during sleep" option on under WiFi's advanced settings. I had no idea that it also happens with data connections ! ...as I don't use it (too expensive for me), now I'm uncertain what could be the cause. I can see how this would be an inconvenience if you use a lot of social media apps as I sometimes do not get my WhatsApp messages when this happens and sometimes I don't even receive my Hangouts messages until I open the app manually.
It's strange, at times when my phone sleeps for awhile and it losses connectivity and I wake it, it will reconnect just fine and other times it just goes into this state where it reconnects with full signal strength but with an exclamation mark next to the WiFi icon in the notification bar. When this happens, no matter what I try it stays in this state, I tried turning off WiFi and turning it back on, also forgetting the network and entering the info and reconnecting to it but none of that works. I didn't know that turning on and off airplane mode can help....I'll have to try that one, rebooting the phone was the only solution I found which is just inconvenient and somewhat annoying.
I too, am interested in a proper solution. I don't know why the phone ignores the "Keep WiFi on during sleep" option or why at times it connects but have not internet access! It should be noted that it's not a problem with the network, It's not due to an incorrect password or anything like that as I am the one that administers those things and when it happens other WiFi devices such as my Tablet PC, Laptop etc can connect and access the internet just fine and it only happens sometimes on the phone (Moto G 2014). This doesn't seem to happen in Marshmallow...but I hate Marshmallow and I can't remember having this issue on Lollipop post Marshmallow update (how I wish I had never tried out Marshmallow!!!), which is why I thought it was related to downgrading, .......did you downgrade ?
Hi all , I have the tab s2 813 model , I keep getting the notification of " connected to WiFi " on the screen whilst watching streams on my tablet then it cuts the stream off and I have to reconnect , its like it's dropped wifi and reconnected , anyone else have this problem , many thanks .
I have a 8 inch variant with marshmallow amd particular in airplane mode the wifi connection is flickering like you described. In radio mode the wifi is stable. Model no is SM-T719
When you say Radio mode do you mean just wifi

I mean the opposite to airplane mode, you know like normal phone mode (LTE /4G).
Ah right , mines wifi version only , I've actually got it on air plane mode now so I'll see how it goes , thanks
Currently no big issues anymore. Looks like Wifi on airplane far more stable. Dont know why..
Same with me , turned off air plane mode and got " connected to WiFi " notification flashing up regularly , put back in air plane mode and seems way better , weird eh
Thanks for the heads up about putting it in air plane mode , didn't even think about doing that , cheers , you're a star
Keep your hands out of the SM-T719 Galaxy tab S2 variant.
I bought one for Christmas, 2 days later I replace it in the store, and then I replaced it again by a third one. BUT... the third one is no better.
All start in the setting up phase, for the first time, since the device has difficulties to connect to google and Samsung servers. Then comes the first firmware update where the download process stops without reason countless times. I have to turn WiFi off and on to be able to proceed. Finally using Playstore and mainly the "Galaxy Apps" application I get too many errors about java.net.... address unreached, no route, server fail, no internet connection make sure WiFi or cellular data is on.
The problem seems not to be in the WiFi losing connection, the WiFi is always at maximum or medium, but somehow the internet access is lost, and when lost is not recoverable by the app, unless I completely close the app, turn WiFi off and on... sometimes I need also to restart the device. Unacceptable behavior.
Now, by Samsung advice, I'm going to leave it in a Samsung repair center, and since I'm not convinced that they will solve the problem at all, because the problem is random and even if they change the board the problem is in the guts/design or whatever... of the device, I'm going to return it to the store and get the money back.
Since i put mine in airplane mode the wi-fi notifications have stopped and never had any other issues with it , mines an sm-t813 , think it's just that it's the 9.7 rather than 8 inch

I have the same issue with my two SM-T813.
The wifi keep disconnecting and reconnecting randomly on 2.4ghz wifi connection. When this happen, a toast notification appears saying you're connected on your wifi. This happen to me on every router i'v tried with many firmwares.
No issue on 5ghz, see this https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3414419
Wow , thanks for the link , i couldn't find that link when i first posted , mines been fine with airplane mode on , no drop outs or " WiFi connected " notifications so I'll leave it alone unless Samsung update it but can't see it happening tbh

OK, but that behavior of your device is unacceptable... having to keep your device forever in airplane mode....
As far as I can tell about mine SM-T719, WiFi is never lost, there is NO notifications about the the system loosing WiFi or reconnect to WiFi, and I can see that WiFi is always on maximum. However, the internet access drops randomly and the application accessing internet cannot recovery from it without turn WiFi off and on again. But the WiFi signal keeps on and well during the occurrence. How odd is that?
My WiFi signal was always showing strong but when watching a stream on my tablet the notification would pop up and the stream would go off then I'd have to reconnect
Wifi dropout

I have a new tab S2 SM-T713. I've had it for about a month now and when I'm downloading apps the Wi-Fi drops to zero and won't pick back up without restarting the Wi-Fi. Does it constantly no matter what network I'm on. At first it started with the Wi-Fi switch not staying on so I flashed a permissive kernel and that gave me the Wi-Fi but it has done that ever since no matter which kernel I use or which ROM I use even stock ROM.
Try putting it in airplane mode and turn WiFi back on , see if that helps
Hay guys,
I am really at a loss, so I hope you can help me here.
WiFi on my phone works totally fine until I install the EMUI Update 10.0.0.185 (and later).
From that point on, I can't use my WiFi at all. The Phone is still showing me a list of all the available Networks, but If I want to connect to one of these, the phone's WiFi turns off by itself. Just du turn itself on again a few seconds later... and turning off again eventually.
This happens to all of the WiFi networks, I've tried. Also I can't setup a WiFi hotspot anymore or use wireless display feature.
If I reset my phone to the EMUI-Version it came with, everything works flawless.
Any idea, what could cause the problem?
