So ever since I've gotten my Nexus One I've been noticing it drops out of a WiFi way too often. It does it both at home and at work on Wireless routers using the latest firmware. I've set the sleep policy to never go to sleep but most of the times I wake my phone up, I'll find it on 3G instead of the full strength WiFi it should be on. On 2.1 when I'd go into WiFi settings it would show the connection and say something along the lines of "Connection unsuccessful, tap to try again" and on 2.2 it just says "Disabled, Secured by blah blah blah". If I retry, it ALWAYS connects and WiFi will stay active for a short period of time before falling back to 3G.
Is there some way I can tell Android to retry the WiFi connection if it fails instead of just giving up? I've been looking through the WiFi API's on the Android Developer site and I'm this close to writing an application that will attempt to mitigate this issue for me.
If I'm within range of one of my pre configured networks, I want the phone to try it's hardest to stay on WiFi. If it loses connection, retry. It it can't get it after 5 retries, wait five minutes and try it again, don't just give up and mark the connection as disabled.
I've read tons of threads about people with WiFi issues and people always say "it's the router, it's the channel, etc, etc" but my WiFi works perfectly fine as long as there is a human to reconnect it if it drops.
Anyone else in the same boat as me?
ok so apparently I'm the only one with an N1 and a WiFi issue.......
I have the same exact issues.
I have the same issue as well and if it stays on I have to turn wifi off and back on so it will connect properly

same issue here. i had been looking for an app that would force the connectivity, but the market doesn't seem to have it. just a bunch of crappy wifi on/off switcher management apps. i'm surprised that no one has hacked this function or built an app for it.
It's certainly a very annoying problem. Mine will go to known good wifi networks, at work, at home and at other locations where my other devices work flawlessly. I have a coworker with the exact same firmware (we updated using the same file) on a nexus one that has never seen this problem, which I find odd, but I'm fairly new to Android. It looks like a software or driver issue to me, but as I said, I'm new to Android.
My device shows the known networks as "Disabled", but I can connect manually.
Looks like it's worth me coding up an App to fix this then.
what kernel are you using? i used to have that problem but that has gone away with newer kernels. unfortunately a new problem has arisen where after being in standby for a while, wifi shows as connected but doesn't have an outside ip. wondering if its my rogers modem or not.

I've never tried a new kernel.. Is this something I should look into?
I'm running the same kernel.

Personally I wouldn't do any work towards writing an app to fix this since it looks to me to be an OS or driver issue that should be resolved in a future release (hopefully in very short order).
An app would really just be a band-aid, but I'm the lazy type and I can deal with using my cell ular data when I don't feel like reconnecting my wifi.
Full disclosure: I'm a crummy programmer and it takes me forever to write stuff so I'm usually less inclined to do it.

I'd rather take the time to fix it then wait for an update that may never arrive. Always fun digging into the API anyways
That's cool. I still find it a bit troubling, though, that some devices see it and some don't, using the same firmware, on the same wireless networks.
I guess it could be a board rev. difference or an app conflict or something. ::shrugs::
I have a similar problem. I use APNdroid to keep cellular data off and use wifi, but I continually have to reconnect wifi no matter what if I am not actively using it. Defeats the purpose of push email.
I downloaded APNdroid after checking data usage and finding that with wifi on there was still significant 3G leakage. Especially confusing with wifi set to never sleep and plugged in overnight.
On the plus side, APNdroid has netted me a lot more battery life, I can almost get two days and one night. I almost never use my spare battery anymore.
Just as an additional data point, I am having the exact same issue with 2.2 FRF83 (I had been on FRF50).
It looks to me like it is simply scanning all of the time and never associating with a known network. I'm not sure why it flags them as "Disabled", however.
Have you guys tried to set the "wi-fi sleep policy" to "never"
if not, try this:
Wifi settings->menu->advanced->wifi sleep policy->Never

Yeah, it doesn't help, that was one of the first things I tried. Any time I leave and come back, the networks show as "Disabled". It's a frustrating issue in that it isn't consistant. It's 80% fail, 20% work.
I had my g1 for a year now and just now got my n1. I havent rooted it b/c of this bug. At first i couldnt listen online radio b/c as soon the display went out it would buffer the whole time. I played with the wifi router and the n1 wifi settings an managed to fix it somehow, BUT when i wake up in the morning for some od reason it lost connection and never reconnected again. So i can hear online radio with the display out but after some hours w/o online radio and just in standby it loses wifi connection and never connects again
This issue is not new. There is a thread on the google forum many pages long. Nobody hase even a clue where it could come from. Some1 on the forum said if u call support they will tell its ur routers fault.
The n1 completly ignores the sleep policy settings.
I have rooted two g1s with goldcard and still using one w/o a problem.

Well, I know fore a fact it's not my access point. I am a network engineer and worked on wireless systems for years and debugging these types of problems is something I'm a bit obsessive about. This stinks of a software or driver problem to me. It could potentially be a hardware revision issue since we have a N1 that works perfectly in all scanerios.
I've tested this with the following access points:
Apple Airport Extreme
Apple Airport Express
Meru
Cisco 1231
Cisco 350
Belkin pre-n
Linksys WRT54G stock
Linksys WRT54G dd-wrt (I forget the build number)
Soekris Engineering running pfSense
All exhibit the same behavior, while my control devices (Apple iPhone 3g, Apple Macbook Pro and a MyTouch 3g running Cyanogen 2.1).
I wasn't aware that this was related to rooting, I'd be more than happy to move back to a stock ROM if that solved my problem. Maybe I'll try that today if I get some time.
Could you possibly post a link to the google forum you're referencing?
I'm currently digging through the alogcat output to see if there is anything interesting in there.
This issue is worse since I upgraded to 83. I'm actually holding off to try CM6 when it comes out to see if there is any better performance there. I'm not sure if he uses updated drivers or kernel that may give better wifi performance.
Just received my One in the mail today. After connecting to my home WIFI I started experiencing connectivity issues with all devices on my network. This thing is constantly pinging I/O. Screen shot of my bandwidth monitoring graphs from DDWRT'd router attached. When I turn it off I get great speedtest.net results and a quiet flat line on my monitor graphs. Turn WIFI on the phone back on and the graph lights up and speed tests take a dump. Any ideas?
my roommate's iphone5 does this, but it's intermittent. I'll be playing BF3 and notice lag spikes all of sudden. That's how I always know he's either home or connected to Wifi. Doesn't always happen though.
this has been constant since I turned it on at 3 PM today
My LTE did this to my network too, fixed it by putting in a $1200 Checkpoint security appliance lol, been running this way for about 3 months no issues. Somewhat of temp solution, but one of the benefits of working It, have to return to company. Still have not had time to dig deeper, just needed fixed ASAP due to fiancé getting frustrated that Internet always going down.

Need a better router and also check your channels for a temporary solution too.

not a router issue. as of this morning I have powered off all other connected devices and was able to produce the same issue. Having constant I/O activity from a particular device is not indicative of a router issue. Something in the phone, service or app, is constantly pinging.
I haven't experienced this issue with mine. Been running the One along with my laptop, PS3 and Xbox without any problems. Using a Linksys routing running DD-WRT, fwiw.

It may be an app trying to lock. I have two Ones with various apps and haven't had any ping issues. Just was online with computer and our device activities are medium in use and nonexistent at idle.

just went out and bought a Linksys EA6500 HD Video Pro AC1750. Issue remains. As I suspected, not a network infrastructure issue. Now I need some input as to what phone services might be the culprit. Installed a data monitor app and have no fruitful information to share from that either.:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
I bet if you have the Asus RT-AC66U you wont have any problems. It's $200 but man is it a beast. Plus it has AC and so does your new phone so I suggest it. I bought mine about 2 weeks ago and I love it. Allows me to have a network printer now and my repeater for my PS3 doesn't lose any signal strength at all. I get 45mbps from LAN and 45mbps from wifi and 45mbps from my repeater on LAN and wifi. Everything is at max.
Great router and I am always happy to promote a great product.
Just grab a copy of wireshark, install on a laptop or pc and filter out your cell to determine what its doing. Shouldn't frame you more than 5 mins.

I did a hard reset and am now working properly.
I apologize for not diagnosing the issue to find the root of the problem. I know that would have been useful. For now, the fix is HARD RESET.
Idk... I made sure my home internet would be able to keep up with me... Avg 115mbps

***UPDATE***
After the initial WIFI issues I had were inexplicably resolved with a hard reset, I ended up having a dead pixel and had the device replaced.
The replacement device was great out of the box, from approximately April 25th to May 6th. Yesterday, May 7 2013, I had a notification for an update to "Sprint Zone." I allowed the update. Upon the completed installation of the Sprint update my WIFI issues returned. I uninstalled all Sprint related services I could and stopped the ones I could not. Still the WIFI issue remained. I once again was only able to remedy the problem with a hard reset. There is obviously an issue with the relationship between Sprint software and the WIFI hardware, and it is not isolated to a particular device. The device was brand new at the time of my original post and has since fallen off the first few pages that get trolled. We are nearing one month in service of this device and I can't believe that I am the only one to have experienced it.
I want to know....
I am having this issue as well.
Really shouldn't have switched to Sprint as I am in LA and wow, the network is trash compared to Verizon over here. Unusable in most areas.
Anyway, rooted, on d3rpone , 4 different releases of it, same wifi issue.
I was getting the issue stock as well.
Still trying to analyze when it takes place.
A couple of quick ideas: First, you might want to see if whether it's specific to 2.4 or 5 gHz bands. I expect not, but worth looking. Also, maybe try disabling notifications in Sprint Zone -- maybe the stupid thing is phoning home a lot? Once you're sure you don't have a hardware problem, you might also want to consider unlocking and running Viper - that decruds a lot.

Thanks for the input. I will be switching to Viper if I have the issue again.
I did try selecting specific WIFi bands, as well as using the "auto" option. No change.
My phone never caused any issues with my DD-WRT router (Linksys e3000). Can't even replicate now.

not a router issue. problem persists in any wifi environment i log in to.
So I've searched around a bit and not really found anyone else having this issue... Is it just me or is no one complaining?
The Bluetooth connection shows to be solid on the phone "connected, running sync loop" shows in the notification bar and the little connection lost cloud is not displayed on the watch.
However, notifications will not push and if I try to initiate a voice command it spins for while and then tells me that it is "unable to reach the Google server" turning Bluetooth on and then back off will rectify the issue temporarily. And... To make things more complicated it will randomly happen a lot one day and hardly at all another day ( of course it always acts up when someone starts asking questions about the watch and wants a demo, which in turn makes you look like a gullable early adopting fool.)
I'm currently using a gear live with a nexus 5 running the latest stable build of cm11. Ive also tested with and without WiFi enabled, because I thought I noticed a correlation but there seems to be none.
Is it me? Am I doing something wrong?

That happened to me a couple of times too, but the watch usually had the cloud connection symbol thing while my phone said "connected, running sync loop." Turning bluetooth on and off and/or hitting the connect/disconnect button in the android wear app fixed the problem, but it seems to happen again whenever I leave the phone away from the watch and the BT connection is lost. It's doesn't seem to regain the connection on its own.
Is this is a CM11 problem, though? I also have CM11 (nightlies and milestones) and I had the same issue with my pebble watch. I'm thinking of going stock to see if it fixes the problem.

The thing that gets me is how inconsistent it appears to be. My phone is always in my pocket, and the cloud "disconnected" icon never appears.
however the link is clearly broken. I may do a wipe and install AOSP. I hope that is not the issue, ive really been enjoying the theme engine in cm11 along with all of the other customizability features

I had the same issue with my nexus 5 running CM11. Two or three times throughout the day my watch would just stop receiving notifications, but it would still say it was connected. Often I noticed it because when I went to give it a voice command it would not register and then say it was disconnected until I swiped away the notification. I've just flashed over to Omni ROM to see if that fares better, since I'm pretty sure the issue was mainly with CM11 on this phone.

The same exact thing is happening to me, just one day started to get in a "Pairing Loop" continually asking me to pair the watch to my phone. Upon pairing successfully and syncing some notifications the connection gets broken and immediately a new parigin code appears.
UPDATE:
I'm back on cm11 and everything is working properly. The problem is not the ROM, its the Kernel that comes baked in. Currently using elementalX Kernel and no issues.
My WiFi has issues opening new connections, like checking my email can take anything from a normal 1 second to just sit there and spin for 30 seconds.
This gets worse if I ask the email client to check all three accounts at the same time.
Opening say facebook through a bookmark on the start screen, can either load instantly, or just show a white screen until I force close Chrome and retry.
I never get an actual timeout error, but it'll keep loading some items between 10 seconds, to just never connecting.
When I do a speed check, there's no issue, I get the same 12 Mbps as the wired computer, assuming it'll actually start downloading.
On the play store there's broken downloads though, it'll download at max speed instantly, but then hang in the middle until I force stop the play store (or reboot).
If I let it sit long enough, it might resume but often with corrupt downloads as a result.
I've had this problem for a while now, and I've tried connecting to various other networks with completely different configurations and it's pretty much consistent.
Disabling WiFi and using the LTE network instead, it doesn't display this behaviour at all, so it has to be something with the WiFi.
Has anyone else had this? I can't find anything useful through the search or google, they all suggest I do this and that on my router, but the other devices work fine.
Tested with the HTC M7, an old Motorola Razr, even the now ancient Moto XT720 has no issues.
If you are in the stock Lollipop 5.0, then you should check your logcat (or use CatLog app in PlayStore if you are rooted).
There are many many WifiStateMachine errors that are logged each second.... I made a thread about it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/help/xt1095-pure-edition-stock-5-0-major-t3002124
I reverted back to 4.4.4 and had no more of those errors.

I checked your thread, and I had a bug like that on 4.4.4 actually.
Where it would work fine, go to sleep then not wake up again.
For me, it was a game from humble bundle that triggered this, "The Deer God"
There was another game on play that did the same, but I can't remember the name of that one.
After I emailed the devs of Deer God, they oddly found the bug immediately and their new version didn't have this problem.
I didn't even send them a log file or anything.. Which was weird.
So far this never happened after upgrading to Lollipop though.
My WiFi problems disappeared at work, but remained at home.
Thinking it was the router, I borrowed a WiFi repeater but the problem still occurred.
Even when I used the repeater as a hotspot with cable.
I was about to give up, and just use my 4G all the time..
But I installed DD-WRT, and lo and behold, WiFi works flawlessly?!
It's not like I'm using a cheap rubbish router, it's the Netgear Nighthawk for crying out loud..
You'd think the software for it would be well coded considering how long they've been doing these devices...
I've seen all the problems about Lollipop and Wifi not connecting. However, my problem is different. I connect just fine AND I'm getting 31 ms ping, 60mbps down and 12mbps up. However, my internet browsing is slow, Facebook is slow, you tube is slow. Pretty much anything I need is slow except that my e-mail comes in, although if I need to synch anything, but my inbox (because that's pushed) it's slow as well. Even the speed test takes a while to load up, but when it does these are the results I get. The only solutions I find are about problems not connecting to the internet. Even that being the case I tried those remedies with no luck. Also my wife who just got a Moto X has the same problems. Hmmm both phones are made by Motorola I'm wondering is this is a coincidence. I should say I wasn't having these problems a few weeks ago they just kind of started and my wife had a Moto G that didn't have these problems. This combined with bluetooth issues is making it very hard for me to keep believing in Android as much as I want to. Any thoughts or help on this is greatly appreciated.

All other devices such as my laptop, roku box and other smartphones don't have these same issues on my wifi. As far as using other wifi' with my smartphone it varies - some are good and some are not. Which makes me think it's having trouble with certain routers or their settings.

I've already tried all the suggestions. However, I can't adjust other routers that I don't have control over. So it's frustrating that it doesn't work better on more routers.
btw, what kind/brand of router are you using? maybe someone is using the same or similar that can give some advice.
I am seeing the exact same thing on a used Nexus 6 that I just picked up. It seems to only happen (so far) on my work's WiFi, although even that just started within the past couple of days. It works fine on the WiFi at home.
Since I purchased the N6 to use with Project Fi which relies heavily on WiFi, this is putting a serious damper on things.
I'm looking for any suggestions or even just confirmation that me and jdekoven aren't the only ones.
I have the same problem with my Nexus 6, Nexus 4 and Nexus 10, all on either 5.1 or 5.1.1. It happens on my home Comcast X1 router/cable modem. It is not a problem with my Chromebook or Windows 7 PC.
It is not a problem at my office which has an Asus router and Cox cable modem.
This problem appeared recently, definately since 5.0, but maybe more recently (especially the Nexus 6, which I have only noticed the problem for a week or 2), and is only a problem for me on my home Comcast network.
I've had this same issue for a few days now. Just plugged my Asus router into the Xfinity box and once setup, WiFi is perfect using the other router. I'm assuming its due to background updates in the Xfinity box not playing nice with the phone. Dunno. But swap routers if you can.
