My WiFi keeps disconnecting and reconnecting in Android every few minutes. Even more so when I am Internet browsing and I go to click a link or change pages the work will drop and I have to wait a few seconds for it to connect and then I have to refresh the page. In Windows I don't have a problem. It is rooted android 4.4.4. Thanks for any advice
I downloaded WiFi fix from the play store and it surprising seems to have helped a lot. Good so far in the few hours I have used it

I received the internet connection sharing / HTC update a few weeks ago; internet sharing worked great but the battery life was seriously hit. I couldn't find any other bugs though.
Last week I received notification of the Microsoft 7740 update in Zune; it didn't mention specifics of what was being updated and didn't mention any HTC driver updates anywhere. I applied the update and immediately my battery life went back to "normal" HD7 performance (usually the entire day).
However, since this 7740 update I've not been able to get ANY audio-streaming apps to work either on the 3G conneciton or through Wifi. Apps such as 8tracks, Mixtapes, TuneIn radio etc will load as usual, but when I press play they will show only "connecting" constantly; audio will never play, no matter what channel I try or how many times I skip tracks.
Anybody else experiencing this? I've tried streaming music before / after turning on / off Internet Connection Sharing (in case that's triggering it) but it makes no difference. It's a real bummer since I used TuneIn radio a lot.

I've just noticed that Spotify has stopped working on my 7740 HD7. Can't get it to work with wi-fi or 3G.
Alright things are getting a bit weird.
After a bit of testing I've found that when I restart both my HD7 and my Wifi router at the same time, everything works perfectly as normal; streaming audio, internet, etc etc. When I disconnect from WiFi and go on 3G data, streaming is still working.
However, the trigger for problems seems to be internet connection sharing. Once I'm finished using ICS and I have it turned off, and I reboot my phone (or power cycle), I run into connection problems. The Wifi connection remains solid on reboot, but web pages rarely load and email and other live services grind to a halt. When I turn off Wifi, my 3G data works fine. Streaming services are borked completely at this stage though. To get things working again I have to reset my Wifi router.
My theory is that the bug where ICS resets the phones MAC address on the next reboot is confusing my Wifi router, and only a router reboot will fix the problem. This is a total pain in the hole and HTC need to immediately fix their drivers so that my HD7 has a constant MAC address.
People should understand battery life

This would be sound advice if it had anything to do with our thread.
Any theories on Wifi / data connection issues and streaming audio?
Just picked up the One yesterday and it's an amazing phone, however whenever I connect to my WiFi it connects quickly and then when I go to load a webpage or do anything with data it stutters, WiFi drops, 3G reconnects for a few seconds, tries to load and then WiFi reconnects. That cycle keeps going until I have to just turn WiFi off.
Is anyone else having this problem?

Yep driving me nuts trying to transfer from my old 3D. WTH.
no problems here with my netgear r6300 AC router, the initial connection does seems to take a bit longer than my old evolte but other than that not a single problem.
can anyone help me with wifi problems i am having?
my phone will connect to my home network and show connected however it seems that data does not load. I cannot load web pages often.
or when it does work it will cut out after a few minutes.

What is the rom that you use? Did you do clean flash? Did you flash any kernel? Did you try to forget the network and reconnect again? More information is needed.

i'm using the stock ROM but i did unlock and root. i am using a asus RT-N56U with WPA2 personal AES encryption for security. Phone set for best wifi performance, wi-fi band on auto, keep wi-fi on during sleep.
I can connect and it will work usually especially if i turn off wifi then turn it back on. However, the problem exists that the length of time the connection will remain with the ability for loading webpages/video is unknown. It could be 2-5 minutes, but i've also tested it and its been able to hold a connection while constantly streaming a netflix movie.
I'm wondering if it could be resolved by setting my phone to connect to my home network via a static ip? seen things related to that elsewhere. It is very annoying and troublesome to have to constantly turn on/off the wifi when im sitting in the same place. I could be reading a webpage then click a link on it and then it will fail to load even though showing i am connected. Then i have to switch on and off. This has happened plenty of times within 30 minutes i've had to turn it on and off 3-4 times. To me that is not "functional".
is it something with my phone or router? or both?

you definitely shouldnt have to connect with a static. it may help but what about when u r in public do you still have the problem?? if not then maybe u should try a new home networking device or play around with the security setting on ur router.
my wifi seems to work fine other than my speedtest results are only 3mbps up. i should be getting as much as 55, i used to get up to 40 on my gs3. i am totally stock, with the same settings.

Do you have sleep mode turned on, in settings, power? Or power saver?

Maybe try unplugging both your modem and router for 10 seconds and then plug them back in.

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.
Hello,
Just wondering if anyone has advise on how to improve my wifi connectivity of my Nexus 6? I'm on Android N. My wifi seems to drop often. I was looking for a setting like, "avoid poor internet connection" so that I could uncheck it, but I don't see such a setting. I seem to notice the drops at home a lot, and occasionally at work. Sometimes it will see my home network and when I click connect, it just takes it's sweet time and waits a while and then connects minutes later.
Also, I'm sorry if there was another post addressing this topic. Each time I typed in WIFI and clicked search, I got a "page cannot be displayed" error on my computer.
Thanks so much for any advice.
I have a the same problem, searching for a solution now.. Frequent disconnects for no reason, right next to multiple home routers. I'm running the latest Pure Nexus 6.0.1.
