Hello everyone, I'm having a weird problem which has been happening for quite a while now, basically stock ROM using speed-test app 20-30Mb/s download speed AWESOME
Now when using custom ROMS (So far Cyanogenmod and Viperone) my download speed is limited to 2Mb/s youtube stutters, pages load slow etc pretty much a pain since its a smart phone that uses a lot of internet, now it gets weirder, no matter what my download is locked to my upload speed always stays a nice healthy 10Mb/s, even weirder still is if I reboot the phone for the first 3-4 minutes of being back on download speed is back to normal (20-30Mb/s)
Even weirder still is when using Android Revolution HD (ARHD) my WiFi still works perfectly, so what ever ARHD and the stock from have in common my WiFi must agree with it! As far as troubleshooting I've done clean installs, I've even made my router run only in 2.4GHz
Someone please help I don't wanna be stuck on one custom ROM when there is so many to try
please provide some more details
which Android?
have you tried updating your firmware?
I always make sure I have the newest, happened with 4.2/4.3/4.4 base firmwares
have you tried unchecking "WiFi Optimization" in WiFi?

Sorry to dig up this old thread, but I am experiencing similar issues, albeit with a different device (OnePlus 3).
Only the stock Oxygen Rom gives good Wifi tethering performance, but trying Cyanogenmod, Bliss, etc. all give the same 1-2Mbps speeds like you described.
Did you ever figure out the issue?
Are (were) you on T-Mobile US by chance?
TIA.
Odd issue with my Droid Turbo. Google services and certain apps, including Reddit Sync, facebook and youtube, all lag/hang over wifi. Over LTE there is no lag.
I have a 6th gen (newest) Airport Extreme with firmware 7.7.3 (latest) and notice the same slow, laggy performance on the 2.4ghz and 5ghz network. Passowrd is a WPA2 Personal (AES).
I've seen reports so far on a lot of newer android devices (4.4.4 and lolipop) with slow wifi performance, not just the turbo. Curious if any of the other owners here have laggy wifi? Sometimes it will start to load and hang, hit refresh and it'll load 50% of the way, refresh it again and it will finally load.
I've tried a factory reset, clearing problematic apps cache, uninstalling and re-installing problematic apps, resetting router/modem, changed my phones wifi profile dhcp to 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4, no change in the wireless performance.
Only thing I haven't tried is a new wireless channel on my router. But since both 2.4ghz and 5ghz display the same problem, I ruled that out.
Funny thing is a speedtest over wifi gives me my full 100 down. Once it loads it's fast, just takes 20-30 seconds of lag before loading.
Thanks all!
I started a thread on reddit about it. Other Droid Turbo owners are experiencing the same exact issues. Posting a link for reference.

Thanks for the reply. I was waiting to see if anyone else experienced these problems before I posted back.
At least for me, this slow and lag filled wifi experience is ruining the droid turbo. Fingers crossed issues are resolved with lolipop

I chatted with moto last night about the laggy and poor ranged wifi and a couple other issues. I have a screen flicker when using google messenger and capacitive buttons stop working at times. They had me factory reset last night (which I really didn't want to do). They said if it doesn't help they will send me a new device.
I've had a weird half-load the page, stall, then finish loading thing going on for awhile (droid turbo).
Chrome, Firefox, Dolphin, all behave the same. Speed tests are fine, I've had zero wifi
connectivity problems other than the antenna is weak on these phones, IM/SMS works fine,
I seem to get the stalls in youtube but not netflix that I can tell but that's some pretty
iffy observation. The page loading behavior is steady.
I think that it loads fine on LTE, I can click wifi OFF when a page is stalled and it loads.
I can follow the same link and open in a different browser and it'll load right up if I leave it on LTE.
Something is up, I can't tell what but it's been there awhile now. It's really, really, really annoying.
Factory reset didn't fix it, and it did it with no apps installed.
If L don't pop up soon and fix this, bye bye Turbo, will miss your battery..
I'm getting a replacement device for the screen flicker. Let you know if it helps any of the page loading problems but I doubt it.

I'm not holding my breath but I bought this the day it came out. Unless the early ones had a problem I expect to see no difference. The lack of replies here either means no one has the problem or just lack of commenting.
I have the slow loading also. I did the factory reset but it seems as I put more apps on it's getting slow again and stalls at times. would a new device fix this?

I got a new one today but didn't have a lot of time to play with it. It came late due to the snow then I had to go snow blow. Google+ is definitely way better but Chrome pages still stall during loading. I'll update when I have more time to play with it. Any apps you want me to compare?

Hey, glad you got the replacement! The play store always stalls, along with reddit sync. If you could test either of those, that's be great
Thanks much man!

After really playing with it I don't think its any better especially on Chrome. Google+ is the only thing that seems improved. I have tried it on all of the newest ac3200 routers as well.
On the plus side my battery life has been awesome. But still the wifi sucks. My old device had a build date of 9/28. The new one is 11/8.
I still kinda think there is a router chipset that the Turbo doesn't like. I have this problem at work, despite it being a 100/100 connection. At home on 50/5, its just fine, be it 5ghz or 2.4.

I feel the same way, but am beyond the return period. I started a broader search and it seems like the Moto X has similar wifi issues. Maybe it's more of a Motorola issue.
I'm using a 6th gen airport extreme, how about you?

I started off with a Netgear D6230 , Then I bought a ASUS RT-AC87U and saw no difference so I returned that and kept my D6230 . I had no problem buying a new router but it was only 6 months old and made no sense. My ipads ran fine on both routers along with two xbox's, GS4, GS3, Samsung TV Roku. BTW I ordered a Nexus 6 , I will miss the battery life.
Same issues here. Hope to get some traction!
Here 's the thread on the Motorola forum about the turbo app data lag over wifi.
https://forums.motorola.com/posts/06a2f3c5ca
Thought I'd pass it along.
I have a netgear r7000 and r8000. I've noticed if upnp, usb features are enabled, or dhcp is used, these erroneous issues tend to occur. Since disabling, i haven't had any of these issues. Also comcast turned up ipv6, which was also an issue...disabled in the routers and in my switch, and issues disappeared. Turbo wifi works excellenet
Hey guys, I had posted a while back saying that for some reason, after flashing the new build of Marshmallow to my Nexus 6, the load times for web pages and just about everything else seems to be a bit slower than usual. I had said at the end of the post that it was fixed, but now the problem is arising again. Is anyone noticing long load times with all apps that use internet? Web pages load slower, the Facebook app takes much longer to load pictures and posts, Skype took longer to login and show everyone's profile pics etc. Never had this problem before on lollipop!
EDIT: Also, when I switch between my 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz WiFi bands, it shows a push notification that says that this WiFi signal has no internet access, and then it connects just fine after a few more seconds. This is odd. Maybe just a buggy first run of Marshmallow?

It's not loading really at all, but that's also due to my LTE coverage being awful in my area, that's always been bad haha so no change there. My other devices in the house are working just fine on my network, the Nexus 6 however seems to load slower, and it's only now that I'm on Android 6.0! Is it working fine for you?
EDIT: Just an update here, hours later, it may be my internet connection, possibly. But I'm not 100% sure on that either. If nobody else is having this issue, it may just be. Like I said though, it seems to be working fine with my other devices!
EDIT 2: http://imgur.com/gallery/TGiCU55 This is a speed test I did on my phone, I have 30Mbps internet and that shows!
I'm having same issue. Dirty flash. Kinda wondering if a clean factory reset is in order.
no issues here....came from a clean flash, which is standard protocol.
M seems fast so far, but I did change my animations Scale from 1.00 to .50! The only website to load very slow is XDA... go figure!

Yup. I did same. I might try the lollipop radio. Idk...
XDA is always sloooooow, even on a fast PC.
I've seen several other people mention slow net speeds on M as well but I've not noticed it yet. The WiFi code of M caused issues awhile back on some previous builds of HellsCore kernel too. I dont know the specifics of it though.

So there was a definite change in the radio for this build then. More than a subtle change. I wonder if it's just not perfect, I realize having a Nexus means getting the first run of all Android software, but I wonder if this is a bug in the build, or a radio that could use some work. But it does sometimes take longer to load things! I'm on very fast WiFi too!
Sent from my Nexus 6
I honestly don't know and would like to hear more specifics. I can tell you I've seen comments on this board the last couple fo days talking about massive WiFi battery drain as well.
I only know HellsCore adopted the newer M code for WiFi in his kernel and people were affected. He then had to create two builds of the kernel. One with newer WiFi code that didn't cause any issues for people and another build with the older WiFi code from L. Have you checked his G+ site?

No I haven't! I'll check that out! So that leads me to believe that it was a change in the new radio! He had to change it to code used in L radio so that may be it! Thanks for the info! I'll look into that some more!
Is it possible to flash the lollipop radio to test? I'd think you could. But I'm not 100%.

Hey guys! An update here, I just read through another post that was about this same issue, and someone in there said that downloading DNset from the play store fixes this issue! It changes your WiFi settings from ipv4/ipv6 to just ipv4. I did it and it's working so far, but I'm going to give it some more testing and see if it fixed! Try it out

Were you able to solve your slow page load issue?
I having same issue coming out of the box with a new N6P.
On TMO & Wifi - my old OPO had no issues.
But seems at least on LTE about town, my pages for social media & browsers are sloooooow.

Hey dude, well honestly it didn't seem to fix it. Placebo effect lol What I think it comes down to is just Marshmallow being rough around the edges at this point because I have stock rooted Marshmallow 6.0 on my Nexus 6 and have cyanogenmod 12.1 installed as a secondary ROM, When booted into cyanogenmod, pages load much faster and it's more responsive as far as I can tell! So, it must be a bug with Marshmallow! Keep in mind cyanogenmod 12.1 uses Android 5.1.1 as a base!
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

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?

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.
