So here's a weird one...
Whenever I am on any stock based Rom(T-Mobile COD6 or COG2 or the new DOG1), I get very slow image loading, listings and downloading in the Play Store and any other Google app ONLY when on my home WiFi which is Xfinity. If I'm on any AOSP/CM based of Dr.Ketan's S6 Rom, I have no issues.
I've checked a few fixes such as changing DNS address when I connect to Wifi to Google's DNS server and still the same issue. I've contacted Xfinity to see if anything on their end but it isn't because on AOSP/CM I don't have the issue at all. Here's the other catch; it doesn't happen on K.K NK4 Roms or NK4 Stock. WTF?!
Does anyone have any ideas whatsoever?

Just wondering if anyone else is having/has had this issue. Since updating to the latest MIUI, I can't access any webpage via the browser unless I'm on WiFi. I'm using a Bell Vibrant with the KC1 modem, and prior to the update (which was last week I think) everything seemed to be working fine.
Any idea what might be causing this? Or what I might try doing to fix this?
I forgot to mention that it's only the browser that's having the issue. I can use apps with internet connectivity on the network (e.g. Facebook) just fine.
As the title says, my tilapia's mobile data (3G/HSPA) connection occasionally stops transferring data while in the middle of a large download, whether it's a simple file downloaded from a browser, a Play Store application or a YouTube video. Turning airplane mode on and off always fixes it. (Clarification: the signal doesn't drop, just the data. The signal indicator stays blue for a while after the connection drops, then turns gray.)
It doesn't happen on all ROMs. It happens on Purity 5.5.0, AOSP 4.3 (tested with Androguide.fr's ROM), CyanogenMod's August 7th nightly, IceColdJelly (July 23rd), RootBox (August 5th, unofficial build) and others I'm forgetting, but Paranoid Android is immune (3.67 and 68 tested). I haven't updated my radio or bootloader to the 4.3 ones.
I haven't tried using alternative kernels yet, so it might be that. (Edit: it's probably not the kernel, just flashed M-kernel mr1 and the problem is still there.) In the mean time, if someone has any ideas about what's going on...
Stock?

Well i know its a PIA but if i were you i would try going back to stock and see if you still experience the same issues! It could be ROM based issue your seeing on certain roms. Also one kernel that works PERFECTLY wont always work for another person with the same device. Also have a look at what radio is in use for your device. I own the WiFi version. But just like your smartphones id assume the tilapia has a radio/modem that gets flashed during ROM installs.
First thing is see if STOCK does it. IF it does id assume a failing 3G radio in your unit sadly!
Hey guys! I have only just joined XDA Developers so please excuse me if I have posted this thread in the wrong area. I have a Samsung Galaxy S Advance (GT-I9070) running stock Jellybean firmware (4.1.2 ITV) but as you all know the stock firmware for this device is full of bugs and freezes often. I successfully rooted my device and installed Team Canjica's CM10.2 ROM (4.3) from the thread on XDA Developers but the WiFi wasn't working. I then installed Maclaw's CM11 ROM (KitKat) because I thought that might solve the issue but it didn't. Here are the details:
Device scans for nearby wireless routers.
I type in the password for my home router.
Device saves router. "Saved, Secured" message displayed.
I tap on my home router in the list to connect.
Device says "Connecting" for a couple of seconds and then goes back to saying "Saved, Secured".
I browsed through the forums and some users suggested switching WiFi Frequency to Auto and turning off WiFi Optimisation but neither of those methods worked for me. The ROM was installed successfully and all other features are working properly so I don't think that is the issue. And my router settings are also alright since I am able to connect to it from my Nexus 7 (2013) properly. Can someone please provide me with a working solution for this issue? I will start receiving very high data usage bills soon because my data plan isn't unlimited. Thank you!
Is your ssid hidden (not broadcasted) by any chance? i had those troubles on hidden home network. Sometimes it worked after a while, sometimes it didn't. What helped me is to broadcast ssid for a moment, get connected with phone, remove broadcast (it will reboot router so phone will lose wifi for a moment). Then somehow it got connected normally

I just checked my router settings and SSID Broadcast is enabled. I tried flashing OmniRom 4.3 thinking that this may be because of a problem with CyanogenMod but the problem still persists. Is there any additional kernel that I was supposed to install perhaps?
CyanogenMod 11 version ?

Just a detail to those who have not upgraded to JB stock and think it is impossible to use it without problems:
All bugs and freezes in Stock JB currently are perfectly finished.
I use STOCK, only with modified kernel (cocore 8.2) without freezes or bugs in months of use.
Enjoy the developer's work (cocafe), because without it JB probably would be impossible in SGA. However we have JB 100% functional and bug-free.
About KK and WIFI bugs:
The only KK (or based) ROM that used without WIFI bugs was RR 20140313.
In fact, the only issue is incall vol. in my experience.
WiFi Direct, Camera -> Panorama is laggy , Screen Recorder not working Not Tested
I also noticed that the battery is worse durability.
But I went back to JB Stock -- personal preference.

Actually I did try that method. Flashed Samsung's latest stock firmware I9070XXLQL (ITV) and then rooted and installed CoCore. To be honest overall performance was much better and UI smoothness was improved. But after a couple of days of regular usage with just a few basic applications such as a note taker, train arrival time, WhatsApp etc. the device started freezing up a couple of times a day again. I admit it worked much better than before but freezes and hangs were still quite frequent. Running OmniROM 4.3 now with no issues so far except for dialer FC, laggy panorama and non functional WiFi hotspot.

This means probably you have typed wrong password. Also check that in keyboard it capitalise first letter automatically. forget the network and connect again
WIFI not working with cm-11-20140521-UNOFFICIAL-janice and cm11.0_janice.nova.201406
Same wifi problem with cm-11-20140521-UNOFFICIAL-janice and cm11.0_janice.nova.20140601. Wifi not connecting even after giving the right password (used to work correctly with jb4.1.2 and still works with desktop) only showing saving and connecting wifi. Then the wifi connection is shown to be saved. If wifi does not work with cyanogenmod11, then what's the use of upgrading?
Is wifi is not working in any custom kitkat Rom?
Please suggest a solution.
Try couple times to connect. I remember sometimes I had to reconnect 2-3 times before it gets connection. And the problem with kernel was about WIFI not turning on at all, it was not even search SSIDs.
So I have the T-Mobile variant of the LG G4. I had it unlocked straight from the carrier a while ago and all seemed well. Recently I noticed a huge amount of battery drain and 4G LTE usage from T-Mobile's pre-installed apps--mainly com.tmobile.pr or something which is the "My Account" app (imagine being at 60% left with 27% of the drain having been an app and only 9% the screen. Yeah, it was that bad)
This I obviously found unacceptable, so I went ahead to try and uninstall the bloatware. Lo, much to my dismay, Tmobile has locked it down so you can't uninstall the bloatware, and you can only disable it. This alone irked me enough that I wasn't satisfied with just a disabling. I knew I wouldn't rest until I had obliterated it.
I've had plenty of android phones over the years and done my fair share of rooting and flashing ROMs and the like, but I hadn't touched that aspect of my G4 because I wanted a dependable device for school and I didn't want to mess around with it. I knew I'd have to root it to get rid of the tmobile bloatware so I went and did that using the Low effort root method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/root-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765). When this was done a lot of my background processes started to continuously crash. I decided to go ahead and put TWRP as the custom recovery and just go ahead and get some dependable 6.0 ROM, and I found a couple of them.
When I flashed the first ROM, the play store services were crashing so I found the google apps package for marshmallow and flashed that too. It seemed to fix the issue. Yet when I would click on my School's WiFi at the setup (which is WPA2 Enterprise) it would crash and say "Unfortunately WiFi has stopped working." I thought that perhaps I mucked something up in the flashing of the ROM, or that maybe there was an issue with the ROM in general, so I decided to just flash another ROM entirely (after factory resetting it all the way). Along the same time as this I found a slightly more modified and feature packed version of marshmallow by this lad here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/h815-genisys-rom-1-0-classic-v10g-t3192649). I decided to go ahead and use this one since it had a h811 version there, that involved flashing a h815 and then flashing a patch.
The "Unfortunately WiFi stopped working" issue persisted, however. I found this odd. I then noticed that if I click any other network that ISN'T the WPA2 enterprise network my school is working that everything seems to work fine.
I went ahead and factory reset it all the way again in the hopes that would fix it. No luck.
I booted it to safe mode and tried to connect to the WiFi network from there. No luck.
I downloaded a third party WiFi app off cellular and tried to connect from there. No luck.
I can't enter the WiFi's name and try to enter directly because it crashes there too.
I can't "Forget" the network as it's never joined that network before so there's nothing to forget. It does let me enter the advanced options but a direct press causes it to crash.
So throughout ROMs and wipes and safe modes and all, this one issue has persisted, where my phone's WiFi will crash when it tries to connect to my school's WPA2 Enterprise network. I've tried plentiful fixes short of flashing back to a 5.0/5.11 stock (which I'm hesitant to do because I read something about phones bricking after they downgrade from Marshmallow using the .kdz files or something?).
I'd really appreciate any help that y'all can provide. I've read these forums for ages but this will be my first time making an account because I can't find anybody else with the same issue and its proving to be quite a pain.
tl;dr wifi isn't working with only one particular network and no fix I've tried under this sun has worked so far. help will be appreciated pls
Have you tried flashing this rom here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/development/rom-g4-h811-xtreme-rom-v1-0-7-28-15-t3167667
I am using this one here and I have no issues using wifi. I cannot speak for the 6.0 roms because LG has not dropped the sources for the Tmo variant yet.

I got the brown leather variant from Tmobile and it only says H811 as far as I can tell. Not sure of if its the "n" version or not.
I have not tried that rom but ill be sure to give it a go, hoping it will help solve the issue. I did some additional testing and can confirm the issue lies with all WiFi networks that employ WPA2 Enterprise security.
Will there be any issue with the Rom when downgrading from Android 6.0? I was reading about phone's bricking when trying to downgrade certain versions or bootloaders on the tmobile variants.
I'm pretty sure going back to stock 5.1 will be fine. The Tmo variant hasnt been upgraded to 6.0 yet and the ports don't update the bootstacks. Read here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/development/global-marshmallow-6-0-port-to-h811-t3232760
Update: It seems that any Android 6.0 flash cuts off the ability to connect to Enterprise wireless networks. I went ahead and flashed to the debloated stock rom on the thread you mentioned, but it cut off the ability to record video. As such, I went for the xTreme version that you mentioned, and flashed the camera restores and all.
Everything works fine now as far as I can tell. I also got rid of the Tmobile applications draining the battery and all that. All should be well. Thanks again for the help
Hello All,
Just got a nexus 6 and went ahead and installed a custom rom (Pure Nexus).
Not sure if its a ROM issue or not (Trying a different rom shortly), but my wifi is terribly slow. I put it next to my amazon fire tablet and ran a speed test multiple times.
Amazon - Avg is 15-20
Nexus is 5-7
I have read some forums that says changing the band helps or forgetting the network and readding but no luck.
Anyone else have any tips before I have to send it back for a new one?
How old is your router?

Less than a year. ATT UVerse provided router.
No problems here, I did a 135 down and 50 up on Comcast router
Looks like something with the Rom. I put Chroma on it and now get around 20 down. I do not think its app related as I just restored all using TB.
Going to clean flash pure and try again.
It's not Pure Nexus, but something else. I'm getting 160 down, 12 up (802.11ac) on Pure Nexus. Have you updated your device's baseband to the latest?
Stock ROM, 802.11n, reaching ISP cap of 60/10 on web speed tests.

Found out it was a rogue app that caused it. Thanks for your responses. Can you point me to the latest baseband? I saw the Modem Collection thread here but the latest looks to be for the M preview back on 7/10?
Go to Google's firmware page and download the latest firmware package. Extract the files inside. I believe there will be an additional archive in the firmware package that you can extract that will contain the radio image.
I was having slow WiFi issues too. I updated the firmware on my router and switched the channel and now it flies.
That's not so easy to do when the entire 2.4GHz band is congested with connections, as it is in my area. Simply changing the channel didn't work for me, and I had to get new hardware that supported 5GHz. The gamers and video watchers in the house all appreciated it.
Other phone is same?
my problem previously was the same..i tried it with stock and aosp based roms, then i went to asked my sister to call our isp.. and the technician was able to verify the problems.. it was our internet cable.. they replaced it and it worked back to normal..
I had a similar problem, but only with the 2.4Ghz band, I live in an apartment complex and in Los Angeles so it's even worse. Luckily nobody uses the 5Ghz band so that works fine for me.
Update but found out that the issue is that my wifi slows down when my BT is on. Does not have to be connected, just have to be on...
Another Update is that I found out the combo is...
Wifi Connected + BT on (Does not have to be connected) + RetailMeNot App
I froze RTMN and now there is no slowness.
So the app is the culprit, not the combination of bluetooth and WiFi. Good thing you got it sorted.
