Hi all,
I did a wipe on my Moto G6 Play (Boost) just for the sake of cleaning up and starting over.
Ever since, Ive had intermittent issues with my wifi quality.
A 1.25mb update can take up to 5 minutes, then suddenly 25mb new app download takes no more than two seconds. Normally it is the former. Wifi analyzers says no Wifi in range, while also showing full strength in OS.
Im using a Ubiquiti AC-LR at home and Aruba 225 at work; same issues on both.
UniFi controller shows no issues with wifi strength or quality.
Also, no other devices are having any issue.
Along with the above, the timing (after a wipe), I believe it to be on the phone side.
I have wiped, cleared cache, etc multiple times. Reset wireless settings. No avail.
Any help or suggestions appreciated.

I run CM7 nightlies on my Tmobile N1. Recently I killed my cable Internet/TV connection at home and have been using the built in WiFi tether for my home devices.
While it typically works great (for free), the data on my N1 will lock up. I have full 3G/HSDPA at my house. Using #*#*4636*#*# it states I am connected but fails to ping or load up any data on the phone or through its shared connection.
The only way to fix the problem is to toggle airplane mode and re-enable the WiFi Tether or sometimes a reset is required.
I've changed to several Gingerbread roms, flashed various radios, and even exchanged SIM cards.
Is this behavior normal or not? For regular web surfing I can live with it, but the main problem is that I cannot download anything without it getting interrupted (like updated nightlies or 50mb+ files).

No one has any problems with their WiFi sharing?
i used my phones internet as my regular home internet for a month. i used up about 25 gigs. i streamed videos, downloaded videos and podcasts with no interruptions. don't know what your problem could be. i was using cyan 6.1.1
I occasionally have experienced that issue, but it seems as if you have it much more frequently than I ever did. I would mainly get it when I tethered from areas with bad reception.
You state that you have full 3G/HSPA at your house. I am wondering how many bars of reception you happen to have. Also, try setting your phone to WCDMA Only in that 4636 menu. That seemed to decrease the frequency at which it happened for me.
I also found that once in a while, I could get tethered data working again by simply using the phone's native web browser to access any data. Good luck with the issue.

I typically have full bars of signal usually reading around -100dbm. When the internet drops, it drops completely; maps, browser, apps, etc all fail and I can't "jump start" it other then toggling airplane mode or resetting the phone. Typically a reset is best.
Perhaps I'll flash back to CM 6.1 and test it over the weekend. I'll do a backup of my current setup if things aren't fixed.
The purpose of this thread was simply to see if others have experienced the same issues and if it was worth "trying" to fix.
It might be a case of overheating device - it'll be good to test different ROMs and kernels.
I don't think the device is over heating at all rather then just a carrier issue. I flashed to CM 6.1.1 over the weekend and immediately found I was still having data issues (where it would work for like 5 minutes then drop out).
I did find that EDGE was a solid connection and stayed connected while I downloaded CM7 and GAPPS. I put a call into Tmobile and yacked at them for several hours. They escalated it up several times in their engineering department and so we'll see. I spoke to HTC a few times in there and they didn't think it was a handset problem either.
I guess we can close this thread as it doesn't seem to be a wide spread problem. I am running a stable version of CM7 now and we'll see.
@above: I have tested different radios, roms, and kernels. This thread started out as a issue with WiFi Tethering but ended up being the phone simply dropping its data connection. I originally was curious if this wifi sharing behavior was normal or not.

+1 for this part..
Sent from my Nexus One
I don't have a password on my WiFi and my Moto X will connect to my WiFi and was working fine yesterday, but today will not load web pages or application data (ie product listings on Amazon, Google Play store apps, etc). I tried forgetting resetting my router and forgetting my WiFi on the phone, but neither helped. I also tried to clear my phone cache via recovery, but when I selected recovery, it booted up seemingly normal with no cell signal and Commserver started. A reboot fixed the Commserver/Cell issue but I still can't get WiFi working right.
I have a desktop, 2 laptops, a Nexus tablet, and an HTC phone in the house, all of which are connected and have no issues accessing the internet.
EDIT: It was an early Omen! Everything else stopped connecting to internet within about 2 hours until the internet died all together. I had to call my ISP to get it fixed and running again. The Moto X must just be that good at predicting my internet going down, lol. Still concerned about the recovery booting to CommServer though...
My note 8 is having weird issues. I'm on Sprint, with an unlimited plan. I'll suddenly get apps complaining I'm offline. I've got full LTE signal. Go into data, and data is off. Turn it back on and most of the time it's all good. Sometimes I need to reboot to get the data back. Also WiFi will disconnect. I can be within 10 feet of the router and suddenly it drops. When I go into WiFi, it shows connecting, then reconnects. I did a factory reset and only added a few basically apps, thinking I may have an app that is hosing things... No change. Anybody else having these issues?
Me too, it is very frustrating. It does it to me almost every-time i use it.

It hate it so much that to throw my phone away.
Odd............I know you did a factory reset..............but try ##brand#
I am having trouble with inconsistent results when accessed through mobile data carrier. It shows 4g, however it fails to be consistent enough with the carrier signals. To explain, when I access Google.com, it takes bit of time(3-4 sec) to reach Google servers and it responds after the delay. This phenomenon starts recently and initially thought it could be an issue with Service providers, so I decided to use different devices and try the same, it connects flawlessly. Same applies for any game or with any app.
To be more precise, I had issue with connecting to hotspots or WiFi and mobile data before I reset to factory settings. WiFi starts working and hotpsot fails inbetween.
I tried to reset network settings which did not help and then reset to factory settings. It does the same, anybody facing this issue? Any help is much appreciated.
My S10 takes a while to find mobile signal after restart or when airplane mode is turned off after turning on. A while here is at least a minute to 2. 60-120 seconds. I don't know this is happening all of a sudden. Happened yesterday while travelling. Also I had installed Cellular - Z and Wifi Man apps before this issue. I used Cellulaz extensively and suddenly now a new issue.
I am sure this was not an issue before. I did a network settings reset, cleaned cache and the mobile signal is really good. Now apps that I mentioned above are uninstalled too.
Anyone faced this issue before ?
Happens only on Roaming
This happens only when roaming and the time taken to find mobile signal is 1 minute . When on non roaming, signal is instantaneously found..within 5 seconds
IDK if it's related (probably not) but I've been noticing my US S10 has lost signal entirely and won't regain it unless the device is rebooted. Happened only twice (so far) but that's still 2 times too many.
