Weird WiFi issues - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Whenever I'm on WiFi I seem to be connected fine and can surf the web usually. Sometimes it just hangs their even though it has strong signal. This is when it gets weird every time I turn off my WiFi I get flooded with notifications. I'm running the latest version of blisspop

Your welcome.

My WiFi is weird as hell too, always showing connected but sometimes I have to turn on and off airplane mode. I also have trouble with my cellular data...

Have you tried factory reset?

Mine also screwed up ( nexus 6 5.1.1 ) ever since the last two updates. Google broke it. Also turning airplane mode on and off will allow wifi "discovery" and connect to an appropriate network.

Connecting to chromecast

Anyone has any issues connecting to the chromecast? My Note 3, not rooted or modified in any way, cannot connect stably to the chromecast dongle. They are on the same wifi, with at least 3 signal bars on both devices. However every time I try to play from YouTube or Netflix I get this constant connect - disconnect until the app crashes. On the TV I see the dongle start connecting to the stream then dropping it when Note disconnects then restarting the stream from beginning when Note reconnects.
Anyone has any ideas? Apps work fine otherwise and dongle works fine with my laptop and the old Note 2.
Thanks

Seems that I have fixed it myself. At least it is working for now.
I was reading the thread on Note 3 WiFi issues in this forum and someone there offered improvement for that problem. I have not noticed any WiFi issues on my phone but decided to do so anyway. Well, apparently that fixed my chromecast connection.

I had an issue but I had to turn off the option in wifi settings for switching to 4g if the wifi connection is poor.

I had that one off already. Wasn't working. Only turning off power management fixed it. However, it substantially worse on the battery life. I've lost 3-5 hours of the battery.

Need help with 3 major problems

Okay. So this is my third phone from at&t. I have had three major problems. I cannot connect to open Wi-Fi networks like panera bread and Starbucks. I Get the word in blushing connected, but after a second it says " the network is slow and unstable". I have had the battery getting hot with moderate usage as well. Plus when I am talking to someone else thru say the cannot hear me. So I put it on speaker phone and disable the speaker phone option and all is good. I've read about people gettimg at least one of these issues, but there is no solution to any of these problems. I jabs tried everything. Disabling through auto connect, and fixing the GPS to where the apps can't get my location. Speaking of which I never had these issues with other phones like the s4. That last pic means when I signed in it wouldn't continue further
Edit : the battery seems okay. But the issue with the calling and Wi-Fi still stands. Someone said there needs to be an update

No Data connection until I restart

Hi,
Has anyone had this problem - or any ideas what it might be?
Basically, every now and then I'll lose the data connection (but keep signal for voice and text). Turning airplane mode on/off doesn't rectify it, neither does turning off/on the data connection. However if I restart the phone, I'll get data signal straight away.
Any ideas?
what about changing network type from 3g to 2g and back ?
I used to have this problem on three UK with nexus 4 and 5. Might be a carrier issue?

I have exactly the same issue. Only cure seems to be a reboot. Haven't seen a pattern as to how or when it happens.

Funny you should say that, I'm with three at the moment...
I have the same problem. Though I'm from Russia and my network provider has nothing to do with Three (if only they exchange their "expertise").
I had this with my Z3C. Also on Three but my Moto G and Nexus 5 are fine. I think Bluetooth might have something to do with it. In the end I sent my Z3C back for a refund as Sony were no help at all.

WiFi connection

I have Verizon and have recently noticed when I turn on my WiFi at home or anywhere else it takes 1-2 minutes to find the network and then connect up. It used to connect up right away. Is anyone else having this issue? I am running on MeanPop ROM.

S6 edge is not connecting to the wifi automatically.

It looks like my device is not autoconneting to the wifi. I don't know the problem. I always leave my wifi on in my device. It used to connect automatically before, but not now I have been observing this since last 3 weeks. It only connects to wifi if toggle the switch on to off and again on. And if I go into wifi settings it starts searching. Is this a known issue or else something wrong with this device. I always keep the wifi smart network switch off.

I have the same issue but it doesn't happen all the time. I usually notice it while I'm at work later in the day or when I get home and want to throw netflix on the chromecast.
Yes it's the same issue.

Same issue here. For me it happens when I reboot the phone. When it turns back on it does not reconnect to the wifi network. In fact, it asks me for the password again like it never saved it to begin with.
But my phone doesn't ask for the password.

Let me rephrase that. It doesn't reconnect and when I go to manually connect it asks for my password again like I've never connected before.
I have just reproduce the scenario, I am at my home and it didn't connect to the wifi (wifi is on). After seeing your reply I have turned of the phone (not robot button) and powered on the phone and that magically connect to my home without doing anything.

Was definitely a problem with permissions, reinstalled after a wipe and no problems at all.
What did you exactly do can you give me steps to do what you have done.
Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk
Opened flashfire and did a wipe and flash of cleanrom. Running perfectly.
So I have gone through the safe mode on s6 and everything is working fine and it automatically reconnects. The problem is with the apps we install. To my point android test app is getting this worse. I had ton of apps installed and don't know which one is causing the issue so I have to factory reset the phone. And tried to install apps one by one and this time the only I need the most and the problem is solved.
