[Q]WIFI not working everytime.

Hi,
I'm a proud O2X user.
Only issue I'm having right now is that WIFI won't start all the time.
Sometimes I enable WIFI and it gives me error.
Sometimes I enable WIFI and it directly works.
Most of the times when it ain't working, I soft reset and WIFI is powering on again.
I had this same issue on my DHD. That was caused by the kernell. So I think it's the same with my O2X. I'ma wait till 2.3.x cause I don't use WIFI that much. And If that doesn't fix the problem, I'ma make use of the VIP service.
Other people expierincing this issue.... ??

After I installed Juice defender I think it got a little more diffecult to connect. One time I experienced that my accesspoint in the list had status "Deactivated".

Mine is still stock not rooted....
And when WIFI does power on, it does connect to my accesspoint.
The funny thing is even trying to enable WIFI with hiddemenu doesn't work then aswell....

Got my O2X two days ago, and Wi-Fi reconnection after sleep mode simply doesn't work. It times out waiting for an IP address from the DNS service, disconnects, connects, waits for address, and fails again. Turning Wi-Fi off in Wi-Fi settings, and then turn it on again, solves the problem. Peculiar and annoying.

Same problem here

I called LG yesterday.
The 2.3 will be a big update.
Many thing should be fixed.
He noted:
E-mail client will be fixed.
Some lag in the UI would be fixed.
WIFI should be fixed.
Better powermanagement.
So hope these world will be true.
Or else I'ma trade it for a HTC HD7

Got the same problem, WIFI works sometimes and suddenly it doesn't.

This can be router/access point related. Using WPA2 Personal encryption causes my O2X to lose WIFI connection after a short while. Therefore, for those of you with problems, try disabling WIFI encryption (only for testing) or try some other encryption method.
If the phone wont connect to a open/non encrypted router or access point, then the problem lies with the phone (most likely but not for sure).
Try it out!

I got the "Deactivated" too. I got that when I had the phone Wifi sleep policy set to "When screen turns off". When I changed to "Never" it was stable. I have later changed to "Never when plugged in" and that has been stable too.
I will test reverting back to "When screen turns off" this weekend and see if the problem returns.

My WIFI won't start then. After Reboot it will work couple of times. But then again it gives ERROR while start WIFI.

I have had this happen to me the last few days, despite wifi working perfectly the entire of the first week I owned the phone.
I have seen both problems mentioned here:
Won't get past "obtaining IP address"
Switching it on or off says "error"
Also, in the case where it would error, I also noticed a significant slowdown. Plugging the phone and using ADB to read "top" gave me:
Code:
PID CPU% S #THR VSS RSS PCY UID Name
1284 49% R 1 0K 0K unk root dhd_dpc
19960 1% R 1 912K 428K fg root top
Which must be a rare issue as I could only find a reference to dhd_dpc messing up here, for a SGS owner who never got an answer.
Rebooting the phone always fixes these issues. Although sometimes going into airplane mode and out again will solve the "obtaining IP address" issue.

I only have the •Switching it on or off says "error" issue.
I figured out enabling disabling wifi with the LG Control buttons (in the notification bar) fixed this issue.
Now it is always working and not giving me error.
Back it the day with settings or the power management icons enabling wifi 9/10 times gave me error.

Did he mention when we could expect the update?
Btw, you should shut off the wifi-sleep in advanced settings, and the problem is solved. =)

I am a bit concerned..
My phone is connected fine to Wifi at home, and apparently this weekend I have used 91mb of network data!! I did not go out so my phone should have stayed connected to Wifi at all times. But when I wake it from sleep (only woke it when email or text notification came in) When the screen lock pops up there is the 3G/H icon that’s stays until I unlock the pattern – then the Wifi icon pops up….
Should it not stay connected to Wifi even in sleep, as how is it recovering emails and such??
I am eating up my 500mb allowance very quick even when on wifi!!!
I have had no problems with home wireless as my pc (on wireless) has over 500hrs uptime connected.

Just noticed this, see post above.
Where is this setting? I can't find it anywhere!

Don't worry ignore my prev 2 posts. Found the option. the "never" setting I would have through should have been dafault!

yes i have the same problem, but then i reset my linksys router, then it works again.
but i had the same problem with my htc hd2.

Same here.
I have turned sleep policy to never but wireless always drop in sleep mode (sometimes it just stop to reply to ping, other times it switch back to 3g).
I tried every different setting on router (beacon, auth, speed, channel...) and static IP, but still no luck :\

Signal issues?

Is anyone having signal issues with the axon pro? My phone keeps going in and out of signal, and while my status bar says that I have "no service" I will have full bars, but only when connected to WiFi. When not connected to WiFi, all the bars are lost.
Is anyone else experiencing these signal issues or bug of this sort? Just trying to determine the root of the problem.

When did you start having problems? After the latest update?
I think it is a problem with the Wifi calling feature. After trying wifi calling and having problems (the other person couldn't hear me), I decided to turn it off.
After turning it off I started having crazy issues - the wifi calling would turn on even though I had turned it off. After turning off wifi completely, data wouldn't work so I rebooted the phone. After rebooting the phone, I couldn't get a signal at all. I tried rebooting the phone multiple times but the signal wouldn't come back. I switched SIMs and it still wouldn't work. At this point I was thinking there was a hardware problem with the phone so I was considering calling ZTE to get a new one. But I tried one last thing - I turned wifi back on and made a wifi call - the signal came back! So it is a software problem.
So I turned on wifi calling again but configured for "cellular preferred". It seemed to work well for a while, but then a few days later went crazy notifying me every few seconds that wifi calling was turning on/turning off.
To keep the phone stable I have now unfortunately had to setup the phone with "Wifi Calling Preferred". Thankfully soon after I did this I started getting error "REG09: Missing 911 address" so it doesn't try to use wifi calling anymore.
No point calling ZTE support because their phone support is appallingly bad. They won't understand the issue, they won't give me a ticket number. All they will say is either "reset the phone" or try to send me a new phone which will just make me lose time and lose data. They had a website where you could raise tickets for a little while...but it looks like it has been blocked now as it could have been too useful .

Trying posting to their Twitter account and report the issue, that is how i got their attention. Also when you call them (here in the USA) tell them that you have already done a reset on your phone and that did not resolve the issue!!!

I got some signal issues too I only get 2 to 3 tower usually but at time its completely dead and until I reboot my phone signal doesn't Pop up ...and at times even though I have like 2 signal tower it shows emergency calls oly...I don't use WiFi calling as am on straight talk.but the WiFi calling feature suddenly pops up in the notification bar giving an error message u can't swipe that off the notification bar too u gotta go to MORE in settings and switch on and switch off the WiFi calling feature to remove the error msg from the notification bar .
Signal keeps fluctuating call clarity is a lil bit poor comparing it to my old lg g2 . macro focus doesn't work at all u can't focus a thing that's really close in auto. I dono what to do with this phone.it just doesn't satisfy the basic need of a phone voice calls and message(messages take a long time to send ).

Again, not worth my breath. If you check the new thread someone called up ZTE about the issue and they blamed it on T-Mobile (which is complete and utter BS). When I called about the camera issues they tried to blame it on Google. Why waste my time to be told lies? The support is completely s***.

Well hopefully ZTE will come out with a fix really soon, I don't think that they want to lose the users they have.......

Loss of at&t signal
In one location that I frequent I always sit there without a cellular signal while people around me are using their cell phones

LTE signal strength sporadic
My Pro shows a few bars for a couple seconds,then NO SIGNAL for a few seconds. ZTE is not fixing this problem? It has been going on since January. Now is September.

For those with this issue, does a factory reset change this behavior, or at least the frequency of it?

Wifi stops working

After the May update every couple of days I find that my TA-1046 isn't connected to wifi anymore. When going into the wifi settings it can't find any networks. Occasionally it can see one of the neighbor's wifi but usually nothing. (Normally there are 10+ networks in range). Turning wifi off and on does not resolve the issue but after restarting the phone it always works fine again for a couple of days. I would like to think it's not a hardware problem since it consistently works again after a restart but on the other hand I haven't seen anyone else with this issue.

It happened to me once.

happened on me this night...after restart it back to normal

Mi8 Constantly turning off wifi and turning off mobile data

Hi,
My phone keeps on giving out no service and it also turns off the wifi. Sometimes it can't even find a wifi. Every time it says theres no signal my sim card name changes from 3 (My network) to SIM 1 I hope that has something to do with it. This all started happening when I updated my phone to the latest update (MIUI 10.3.5.0) and since then I can bearly use my phone as its constantly changing internet connections and not working.
Hope you guys know a fix.

(Bug report) rog phone 2 restart its wifi and cellular connection when sim(s)... .

Rog phone 2 restart its wifi and cellular connection at the same time when sim(s) has weak cellular reception. ( It completely disconnected from cellular service and wifi for around 3seconds before it's establish it's new connection. It's very annoyed when i play game. Because if i don't turn off my sim(s) or use airplane mode while i play game. I will get disconnected from connection in the middle of the game(afk).)
How could i report the problem?
There are few members here also have same problem as me.

you could try do disable Wi-Fi scanning - search in the settings for 'scanning' and under Wi-Fi scanning, disable wifi and bluetooth. it may just fix the issue... so i have read on the telegram group forum

Tried this one, but it didnt fix the issue. Network still restarting

I have the same problem but I tell you what happens with some routers, or internet companies, in some places it happens in others not

Up.
Does anybody else experience this kind of issue?

This happens to me too often, is very annoying and upsetting.

This happen to me as well, I will try to play with airplane mode on and we will see what happens

has anyone found the solution?

Solution is change your router wireless signal to either 2.4g or 5g but not mixed, as the phone tends to jump between the 2 quite often causing the disconnects.

this solution could work at home, but this problem can happen everywhere.
Happen even when I work .....

for me using only one sim fix for now

I have 2 sim cards, but 1 is off. When I'm not playing - don't see the difference, maybe it restarts, but I don't see. But if I'm playing on wifi I see wifi restarting every 3-5 minutes. Can't switch off the connection, playnig online game...

Hey I've found out what to do and it's pretty simple. The cause of the disconnecting is that this phone keeps from switching from 5ghz Frequency to 2.4 and back so what you need to do is make your router stay at 5ghz or 2.4ghz (you can watch a video about the deferences so you can choose what to turn off)
Follow these steps:
Go to settings---Network and Internet---WiFi---click on your wifi---find gateway number (example 192.***.*.1) then write it in a Browser and it will send you to your Router provider website.
Now that site looks different from person to person so what you do now is look around that site until you find an option to turn off one of both GHz (2.4 or 5) so yeah that is pretty much it have fun a with stable wifi connection =)
