Serious WIFI Issues - Nokia 8 Questions & Answers

Yet another epic fail on Nokia 8: WIFI keeps failing, disconnecting, or simply sliently not working most of the time. Speedtest shows 0.00 MBps download speed when this occurs, while upload is just fine. Happens at home as well at work. Needless to say that I have plenty of other devices working absolutely fine on the same networks. After flipping airplane mode, returns to normal.
This phone turns out to be a big joke. Nokia should better get their act together quickly.

i strongly suggest u attempt to send in nokia. i am having fast connecting on both wifi and mobile networks. Both on nougat and oreo beta. Sometimes out of the thousands of phones. Hardware or software might be glitched. However it does not represent a consistant pattern or outrage. Compared to a note 8 or S8. Their faults is widely known. To address the grievances, head in and just send in the phone. Let them make it right

No worries here thankfully

Have same issue. My workaround was to disable mixed mode on my wireless router. Far from ideal solution but at least it got wireless connectivity stable on my phone

[Q] Poor wifi performance

For those who have the device, how does your wifi signal strength compare. Sitting at my desk, I get no bars now where on my OneX I got 2 or 3.

Same issue here on a phone from O2 with the latest software installed.
Compared to an iphone 5 struggles to hang onto signal. Tried both bands as well, same issue.
I can see my work wifi in a location I frequent with previous phones.
I can connect and use it even though it gives me just a dot for the signal. other phones struggle in this same location.
Perhaps try turning off Wifi power saving in the settings

No wifi issues here what so ever
yeah its pretty bad for me. next room and i'm down to "1 bar" when on all of my other devices i'd get 4 or 5
guys from what I've seen don't go by the little signal strength indicator on the notification bar as it doesn't really reflect what's actually happening, I had a XZU for a few weeks and a Z before that, I can pick up wifi connections on both the XZU and Z1 were the Z was out of range, I was sitting in a bar last night connected to a wifi AP that was about 100m away and there are structures and people in-between, the Z1 is as good as the ZU when connecting to wifi and both are better than the Z

Wifi on my Z1 C6903 seems really poor.
Connected to 5Ghz on a dual band wifi router situated in the tv room. I don't get any connectivity from my room which is around 10m away.
I used to get decent connectivity on my iphone 5 - speedtest of around 14mbps. I can't even connect to speedtest on my Z1.
On a sidenote - what is with the headphone button not working. Had to update to .534 after much googling. Also, the new firmware doesn't help the wifi issues. Who knows how long we'll have to wait for a fix ...which may or may not improve it.
Also, did try to turn off the wifi power saving "feature" as well. Didn't do much.
Anyways that's my feedback.
same here! very bad connection with the xperia z1.
Yep poor wifi performance, I hope we get a software fix soon
Same here, disconnects from wifi a lot.

In OP, I said compared to my previous phone. Also, have trouble with mobile data being very slow. With that being said, I have moved provider to EE but they are supposed to have decent coverage.
Not sure now whether to return and get a new one or get the Notes 3 instead.

Basically it is rubbish so far. The signal and speed is not as good as other devices.
Interested in hearing more from people who say it is fine.
Fine compared to what? Can you give examples?

How frustrating, I was looking at upgrading to this phone, and reading most of the posts floating around I am having huge deja vu experiences with the newly launched Xperia Z and the pains associated with being some of the first. I feel for you all.
While we are talking WIFI, anyone tested the 802.11ac bands?

I did a proper test yesterday. Closed my living room door (living room is where router is) and closed my own room's door... Got plenty of signal and about 33Mb/s which is good considering my connection is a 50Mb/s one.. Get about 48 on my laptop which is very near router...Don't see any issues here

[Q] Wifi Dropping

Is anyone having trouble with Wifi dropping out? I had no problems with my TF700T, but my new TF701T seems to drop Wifi quite a bit.
It seems that when the signal is a bit weaker, the connection drops pretty frequently. I've done some very quick testing with Wifi Analyzer and it seems that when the signal gets down to about -60dBm, the connection starts dropping and re-connecting. That signal is not the strongest, but I wouldn't expect the connection to fully disconnect. Other devices, including the TF700T have no problems in the same areas with the same signal strength.
I'm going to try some other channels, but is anyone else having this issues?
Yes, I do have some wifi issues as well. What wifi band do you use, and what's your rom version?
My wifi is 2.4GHz, channel 6, signal at -65 dBm (when it does detect the network). My laptop has no problem connecting to it (perceiving it at -60 dBm).
Running 12.26.1.18 WW.
After the .18 update my connection dropped completely after I used Wifi analyzer. Running on channel 48 5ghz. (measures -60 dbm/ 3 bars of 4)
Wifi is back connected at 72 mbps - solid connection after i uninstalled wifi analyzer and rebooted... wtf?
Inssider works though
I'm on the 10.26.1.18 US build. I'm on 2.4Ghz (CH 6 and now changed to CH 1). I do have Wifi Analyzer installed, but I installed it after seeing the problem in order to measure my signal, so I'm not sure that has anything to do with it for me. It seems a little more stable now that I switched channels, but I still see it drop. Sometimes it drops while I'm actively using it, sometimes when I turn it on the Wifi isn't connected and eventually comes back. All seems to be related to the slightly weaker signal for me, which shouldn't be a problem since it is still an ok signal for (2-3 bars, -60dBm, no other devices with trouble).
Something doesn't seem right...hopefully it is software.
Did you guys notice this prior to the .18 update? I went almost directly to it since I have only had the device for a week...
Mine just dropped again. So probably its not related to wifi analyzer.
Did not have any problems before the .18 update so its most likely caused by that update.
I never thought the wifi reception was great on my device, but it does indeed seem much worse after the .18 upgrade. I will try to downgrade and report back.
Ok, I downgraded to 10.26.1.7 WW, and things are working smoothly again. Wifi is still not very speedy, but at least it seems stable.
Steps to downgrade:
WARNING: Downgrading formats /data and /cache. You will lose all your data.
Download and extract the 10.26.1.7 WW update from asus
Rename UL-K00C-WW-10.26.1.7-user.zip to T4_SDUPDATE.zip
Put T4_SDUPDATE.zip at the root of a FAT32-formatted MicroSD-card
Reboot to recovery
It's the update. Someone bring it to ASUS attention. Because I'm getting the same thing

Thanks for the details. It seems 10.26.1.7 does indeed have no wifi issues.
Anyone with 10.26.7.18 having no problem with wifi? And if so, do you have a WW or US version?
I suspect this to be WW-specific. What do you guys experiencing drops have?
That's really strange. When I started the device for the first time, it prompted me for the OTA update, to Android 4.3. That's what I installed, and that's what I've been running this entire time now. However I see that on the Asus site there is a newer version available. Even doing a manual check for the OTA update on the device, it doesn't see this new version that is on Asus' site.
Should I try to install the 10.26.7.18 update? I can't see a changelog on Asus' site, and idea what this update is supposed to fix?
I also noticed there is a new version of firmware (10.26.1.18) that was released today for WW SKU devices.

According to some (see the upgrade's thread), .18 fixes the auto-backlight flickering issue, but I didn't see any imporvement on that side. Considering the wifi problems, I would not recommend the update, except if you are brave enough to try it out and are not afraid to downgrade (losing your data) if things turn out not so well.

I saw it too. It seems to be the "normal" upgrade, compared to the T4_SDUPDATE.zip which can be used to downgrade. I don't know if there is a difference between both.
I am on the .18 US version with the wifi drop issue so I don't think it is WW specific.

[guide] how to check for faulty device

Hi everyone ,my Oneplus3 just arrived.I am currently in UK and in a month I return home,in EU.So I wanted to know if my device had any faults so I could ask for replacement.
How to check if your device is good.
Step 1.Disable fingerprint scanner(when in pocket it keeps scanning=battery drain)
Step 2.Charge your phone to 100%.
Step 3.Make a Antutu 3d test.(if your phone gets warmer than 45-50 degrees,you need to replace it)
More later.Suggestions are welcome .

2 things you might want to look into:
2.5D glass requires extreme precision otherwise the edge of panel will be defected, showing rainbow color
Some users reported that the camera is not centered in certain branches.
I'd firstly check for any screen brightness or color uniformity defect.
You can also access engineering mode and run a list diagnostic tests by opening phone pad and dialing *#808#

Go to cellular Network in settings and OPEN the APN access point network, and change the protocal from ipv4/ipv6 to just ipv4.
Hopefully it will fix it.

Sub Par WiFi Performance

Coming from a Note 4 which was a phenomenal device. The Note 7 will be the first phone I have had without root in MANY YEARS. So far I like it, but this issue that I just noticed is a major one and I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing it.
My home internet speed is 300/20. I regularly get Speedtest results 340/25 on my PCs and both mine and my wife's Note 4's when connected to the 5ghz band on my AC router. We both have the Note 7 now and rarely break 30-40 Mbps download speed. I have tried everything and this definitely appears to be a firmware issue in the Note 7. My friend came over with his S7 active (ATT) and his Speedtest results were in line with my network. We still have our Note 4's (I have to restore them to stock before sending them back) and they still get 340/25.
Anyone else experiencing similar issues?
I don't have the best internet but mine tests within 5Mbps of my macbook.
I'm getting about 76Mbps download (85Mbps last night). Thats close to the fastest I see on my network.
Anyone else? Any ideas?

Try turning off the setting for optimizing WiFi performance on battery. That causes strange behavior with certain routers.
And where may I find this setting?

No, I have the HTC 10 currently. But the setting I'm referring to was present on the S7 Edge and Note 5. Looks like Sammy either moved or removed it.
I am getting similar results on my Wifi as I had with my S7 Edge, actually my upload speeds were the best I have seen. I have google fiber and my speed test came in at 273.87 mbps down and 403.30 mbps up. On my S7 Edge I was normally around 300 mbps down and 250 mbps up. My Nexus 6 was also very similar to these results.
Getting great WiFi reception. Much better than my previous phone. :good:

This is definitely an issue. My wife's Note 7 mirrors my results. We still have not sent our Note 4's back on JUMP trade-in and they both still absolutely fly on Speedtest. It is not a router configuration issue (I am very competent and have my CCNA). My speeds are fine on my desktop, 2 laptops, and a tablet. Furthermore, when you said yours "struggles" to get there, that is exactly how it seems, the downstream test is jumpy and jerky, like a car that needs a tuneup.
I hope that this is merely a software issue and not a hardware problem. I am confident that you, me, and my wife are not the only 3 people experiencing this.

Did you check thr link speed for your connection? If you go to settings open up your Wi-Fi settings, then tap on your connection it should give you the link speed. My Note 7 is connects between 65 - 195mbps, while my Note 4 connected at 351mbps. Not sure why the older phone has a better connection speed.

I wasn't saying that it's not a hardware issue, and I also wasn't suggesting that a router issue would be your fault. In this case, CCNA does not apply. You're comparing a Note 4, with 2 year old hardware, against the Note 7, with the latest 802.11ac chipset available. This invalidates your direct comparison, and further points back to a possible router/firmware issue specific to the chipset inside the Note 7. Don't believe me? Take a look around the HTC 10 forums at all the WiFi issues people have there. Poor signal strength, poor range, high ping, packet loss, goes on and on. And going back to your CCNA, you know it doesn't take much for a handshake to get out of whack and issues to arise. Hell, I had to install a DD-WRT Linksys router in my office after Cisco's latest enterprise firmware to our WAPs completely obliterated the ability for my S7 Edge to connect.
I've had no WiFi issues at home, Verizon FiOS (150/150) + Netgear 802.11ac router, Nexus 6, Nexus 7 2013, Galaxy S6, Note 5, S7 Edge, HTC 10, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, etc.
Y'all got me scratching my head and searching around. Found this. But honestly, as soon as your Note 7 is attached to your home router, you should be getting the same speed if not faster than your older device. Well, it were me.... I'd power cycle the router, make sure it's the only WiFi connected device and then do other isolation troubleshooting. Shouldn't have to be that way though. Plug and play...not plug and pray.

Did you check thr link speed for your connection? If you go to settings open up your Wi-Fi settings, then tap on your connection it should give you the link speed. My Note 7 is connects between 65 - 195mbps, while my Note 4 connected at 351mbps. Not sure why the older phone has a better connection speed.

Link speed is good.

I wasn't saying that it's not a hardware issue, and I also wasn't suggesting that a router issue would be your fault. In this case, CCNA does not apply. You're comparing a Note 4, with 2 year old hardware, against the Note 7, with the latest 802.11ac chipset available. This invalidates your direct comparison, and further points back to a possible router/firmware issue specific to the chipset inside the Note 7. Don't believe me? Take a look around the HTC 10 forums at all the WiFi issues people have there. Poor signal strength, poor range, high ping, packet loss, goes on and on. And going back to your CCNA, you know it doesn't take much for a handshake to get out of whack and issues to arise. Hell, I had to install a DD-WRT Linksys router in my office after Cisco's latest enterprise firmware to our WAPs completely obliterated the ability for my S7 Edge to connect.
I've had no WiFi issues at home, Verizon FiOS (150/150) + Netgear 802.11ac router, Nexus 6, Nexus 7 2013, Galaxy S6, Note 5, S7 Edge, HTC 10, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, etc.

Your point is? Yes, the Note 7 has the latest 802.11ac chipset. I also have a fairly new Netgear R6400 dual band ac router. Of ALL the devices in my home, our Note 7's and that router are the most recent. Therefore, they should definitely play nice together OR at the very least - as good as the considerably older devices I have referenced.
The whole point of this thread is pointing out that I believe there is an issue with the firmware or hardware on some of these devices and seeking possible solutions. I am damn near 100 percent certain that it is not an issue with anything external to the phone.
I have diminished wifi speed (compared to my much older Note 4) at every wireless AP that I connect to on a regular basis - not only at home.

My point is that there may in fact be an issue with the chipset, but unless you can compare it to another device with the same one, you cannot find the true root cause.

Is this a good buy?

I am looking forward buying the Moto G6 (US version) at a BestBuy store. Does it have some kind of obviously frustrating problems that people should be aware of?
I don't have any problems with mine so far. I like it.

With my moto g6 EU I have no problems, everything works as it should, but as always with every phone people have problems.

I love mine, came from a Nexus 6p and I've had 0 issues out of it. Great battery life. Honestly I would have paid more for this phone with how it performs, I'd say maybe the $300-350 range, it's a steal at $250 or less, Project Fi users it's $199.
My main concern is dropping WiFi connection! My USA Moto g5 plus has this terrible problem and also my Z2 play does it on occasion! It doesn't matter if it's at home using WiFi or in public I'm constantly losing WiFi connection
It's pretty frustrating!!!

I can confirm that my new G6 has the same issue, it's dropping WiFi connection all the time. It seems like people on the Lenovo forums are aware of this issue. The (temporary) solution is to change the DHCP server settings on the router to give your phone a fixed IP address. I know it's not perfect for many people, but this works for me because I use WiFi mostly at home.
The Wi-Fi drop is absolutely true. It happens all the time.

I bought mine 3 days ago and no wifi drop at all
I bought mine through motorola.com the day it became available. I have had no issues with my wifi dropping on my device.
I do however have some shutter lag on the camera often. Not so much if I open the app to snap a quick picture, but I notice it happens if I leave the app open and turn the screen off. When I come back in I can get maybe 1-2 photos then it sometimes lags 5-8 seconds until I close it completely and relaunch it.
