Galaxy S6 Sprint, connecting then drop, wifi poor

When placing calls, almost every call says connecting then it hangs up. Skype never works on 4g/3g. It used to but now the recipients phone never gets the call. When it does dial out it just says ringing and no one gets the call. Is MS having issues with Skype right now?

Lock everything..
Lock wireless channel, lock 5ghz to different name cf 2.4ghz.. lock the mode.
Too much is auto and starts jumping around.
If you still have issues.. tell us how old the TC is. The wireless drops off as they age.
I also suggest you can use AE to reinforce wireless of course but that is expense and results in double hop wireless .. a high power wireless router from another brand can be a better buy. You don't need to use it as a router.. just plug it into the TC as WAP.

Mac connects then drops wireless connection after startup

Hi, I have a strange problem. I recently purchased a new MBP. My old MBP didn't have any problems with the router, but my new one, after coming out of sleep, will be connected to the internet for a couple of seconds, then drop it like it's searching for a signal, then be connected for around 20 seconds but no actual internet connection. I know that it initially is connected because I can refresh the page or connect to a webpage for about 5 seconds, but then it starts "looking" for the signal. And of course, once it finds the signal, it doesn't actually work for another 20 seconds. I wanted to blame the router but no other computers have this problem. Can anyone help me?

If you are using W7 -- scrooge is correct - it is not listed on Linksys' W7 Comp. list - http://tinyurl.com/yd2nv5v - but it is listed on Microsoft's Comp. list - http://tinyurl.com/y9vuwdm - confusing!!
FYI - I'm using a #320 router with the WUSB600N adaptor ( Win 7 driver - Ver.3.1.0.1.0 ) on a 64 bit platform desktop with no issues at all - I believe W7 found and loaded correct the driver for the 600 adp. --- or you can check for the correct driver for the adp. in the Device Manager if you decide to try the USB adp.'r

4G Connected then dropped back to 3G never to return...

I have been a paitently watiing for over 6 months now for 4G. The VZW rep told me by the end of the year for 4G to be availabe in the Utica NY area. I did some research online and found that Utica was scheduled for 4G coverage by the end of 2011.
Now yesterday morning 11/21/11 around 9:30, I looked at my phone and realized it said 4GLTE and I did a double take, and realized it actually said 4G, now, for my first time ever being able to use it I got really excited. I played a little, downloaded some files, super fast! Even did a speedtest on it and it blew my 3G speeds away as expected!
About 10 minutes later the connection dropped and went back to 3G, then came right back to 4G, then the phone dropped all data connection, went to 1X back to 3G then back to 4G where it held for almost an hour.
After about an hour, it dropped again returned to 3G and it never connected to 4G again. I thought maybe it was the phone, so I did a reboot, and went into airplane mode, back out, and still nothing, only 3G
Now I know that there is no way I connected to a tower that had 4G that is not in the Utica area, the closest tower with 4G near Utica is in Syracuse over 60 Miles away.
So there had to be a tower or towers in the Utica area that had the 4G siginal up for a little while.
Is it possible that VZW was testing the 4G service to get ready for its launch in the area? Or maybe it was a mistake?
Could it mean that it's going to launch in the area soon?
Over the past few months, VZW customers in the area have exirenced lots of call drops and 3G data drop outs, which is uncommon for this area, VZW is always reliable and never drops calls (atleast in this area), some reps said it was due to 4G upgrades on the towers. Is that a true statement?
I know there's a lot of questions here but I'm really curious as to when we'll see a solid 4G coverage in my area!
I really want 4G!
Thanks in advance!
-Mike

Both of the problems you just described is the power saving features built into the phones software. I think I posted this on your post already? haha but anyways, the switch from 3G to 4G or 4G to 3G is probably just causing the software to just get confused basically and shut off the Data connection all together to save battery, it will automatically turn itself back on later when the correct amount of time has passed, every phone is different so I can't really say when lol. But, when in WiFi to save battery and to keep your data usage down some phones will shut the data connection off and rely on the WiFi connection, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
The software is supposed to be designed to turn it all back on when receiving a MMS message or when the WiFi connection is terminated, but this isn't always the case.
Verizon's version of the Droid software still had bugs that need to be taken care of :/
This is why Custom ROM's become peoples best friends because most issues that are addressed are taken care of very quickly, most of the time anyways.
And you're going back a little ways there lol, but still it would all probably still look exactly the same to use as it did 15 years ago, it really hasn't changed that much, same old same old here, its like this place is stuck in a giant rut that it can't get out of haha

Wi-Fi Connects then drops after 1min.

Ok, Hello Everyone I really need some help with the C6-01. I really like it alot, but it won't hold a Wi-Fi connection for more than 1min., unless their is an app/program running that utilizes the connection, at which point when the app/program is closed the phone drops the connection. Nokia tier 2 tech support said this is not normal and could not recreate the problem. I have tried mutiple routers with the same results. I believe it's the phone because I have received 2 replacement phones from the retailer and all 3 phones have this problem. Nokia tech support wants me to send it in for repair, but I can't be without my phone for 8 to 10 days that's not including shipping time.
Thanks,

I seem to be getting the same problem on my E7, wifi stays connected when there's an app open (email) but will close & go back to 3G network otherwise. This seems to have just started although in my case it may coincide with me getting a combined modem & router from my isp.

IPad 2 3G on Telus, internet connection with 3G shows full bars connects, then drops as soon as you start loading a web page.

It seems to be getting worse, at first I could get it to work after a couple tries....last night took half an hour to get working....starting to get more than a little frustrating. Wifi works fine, I'm just getting sick of the 3G issue. Once you get it to stay connected it's fine, never drops again.....until you turn it off and go back to the start. Is this a known issue or is my iPad2 defective?
I should also note that the signal strength itself never changes, when the network drops, just the little 3g icon vanishes and safari comes up with "could not load page because there is no network connection"

Fixed

I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now.

Why does my iPhone 6 keep on dropping wifi connection

after I used my iPhone 6 for a 2 weeks it started to drop wifi connection so I restored it and it worked for 1 month then it started to drop wifi connection again and restoring it dosen't solve the problem anymore and I updated it to 8.1.3

I have tried resetting everything and it makes no difference. Problem is same in different locations. Apple store verified problem which is why they exchanged phone for new model but wifi is still poor and drops frequently even though the iPhone 3GS in the family work perfectly on same access points.

IPad Air after upgrade to ios 8 continue to drop WiFi connection

On September 19, I upgrade my ipad air to ios 8, and it had been dropping Wifi connection ever since. I was browsing using Chrome and next thing the browser hang up; then error message informed me to no network connection. By the way, my network was strong (5 bars), because I was streaming to my Roku in HD without any issues. At the same time, my Airplay do not want to stream the content in full screen either. It only mirror what have see on my ipad, not allow me to go full screen on TV. I hoped Apple will step up and correct this issue as soon as possible; I miss the good old day of reliable upgrade from Apple.

Yes, and hopeful 8.1.1 will help. It's supposedly in beta testing.

Windows 7 desktop drops WIFI connection

Hi -
I seem to see a lot of posts with this same problem, but no solution that's relevant to me. I have a DLink DIR 655 router that has the latest firmware installed (I updated it yesterday). One of the machines on my wireless network is having problems.
Two Microsoft Surfaces, three Windows phones, and one Canon WIFI printer all work fine, its only a desktop that uses a USB Wireless card that has the problem. I am currently using a Medialink MWNUSB150N wireless card. Note, however, that I had
exactly the same problems with a DLink wireless card.
The problem is that the WIFI connection drops frequently. The systray will indicate that I am connected to the wireless network with internet access. Then I will notice that web pages are not loading, but it will still show that I am connected
to the WIFI network and the internet. After a short time, the systray will show that I am connected to the network, but have no internet access. After some more time it will show that I am not connected, but will usually show that connections
are available. When I try to reconnect (my SSID shows as available at this point), then I get an error saying no network is available. At this point, my SSID no longer shows as available. I've run the troubleshooter probably 100 times over
the course of several months. It never helps. Rebooting sometimes helps. Sometimes it seems like I need to do a voo doo dance to get the connection back. Following is the result of running netsh wlan show driver.
Any ideas?

Questions:
Regarding your advice to check the wireless security settings - I don't know exactly what to do. I went into the router admin page and checked the wireless security - its set to "WPA-Personal". Other than that, I don't know how to tell if
its using TKIP or not.
The next time it fails, I will try your suggestion to remove the network and reconnect. I can't remember if I tried that at some point, so I'll give it a shot. I'm waiting for it to fail right now as I tried something yesterday that I think has
a low chance of success, and it hasn't failed yet. I noticed that the option to "allow Windows to turn off this device to save power" was checked for the wireless adapter, so I unchecked that value. I only think it has a low chance of
success, since the timing of the shutdowns was pretty random and did not "smell" like a power saving thing, but thus far it hasn't failed. I'm still within the window of randomness, though. Sometimes it works for a little over a day and
sometimes it fails after less than 5 minutes, so I'm just keeping my fingers crossed for the moment.
Comments:
Tried using different USB ports, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, and front panel vs. real panel just in case there was anything weird going on. No difference.
Updated the driver using the "update driver" button. Windows believes I have the best driver installed. I did look for other versions, didn't find anything.

Dropping WiFi Connections after new Mac Min and Upgrade

First of all does anyone know why this discussion was archived when there was never a solution posted?
https://discussions.apple.com/message/12586041?tstart=0#12586041
Secondly (why I found that thread among many others addressing the same problem). I received a new Mac Mini for XMas (cool, I needed it) which worked fine with my other computer and devices (2 iPads, 2 iPhones, 2 Win7 Laptops and 2 Win7 desktops) for a couple days, so I thought. Now all these devices got along very well until Mr. Mini comes along. Then I note wireless drops occasionally, it seemed to come back so I wasn't too upset, yet and decided to deal with it later and enjoy my vacation.
Now, after I allowed Leopard to do its upgrade (I had deferred that) I now have all the above devices dropping wifi and physical LAN connections as long as this Mini is powered on. I shut it off, Internet is blazing, I turn it on, Internet falters and screeches to a halt.
Since all my other devices have worked cooperatively for several years and this device comes along and crashed the party im pretty convinced its not my router or computers. I am not interested in trial and error here. i have many better more important things to do and this is Apples responsability to figure out. I am a very savy IT dude (career professional) and want to get to the bottom of this for everyone.
Soooo.... What changed? Why does this device kill my network when it is turned on (note, no alterations from out-of-the box to any network protocol or config.) and why does a thread (one of many) without a solution get trumped on by Apple?

I think I found the answer to my own question (no thanks to Verizon)!
I found this article online which was written recently (2012) and explains the WIFI - Bluetooth interference pretty well. Here is the link:
http://www.ecnmag.com/articles/2012/03/wi-fi-and-bluetooth-coexistence
The way it has been explained is that if the WIFI & BT radios are on the same chip and using the same antena to send and receive, they WILL interfere no matter what. Having them on two different chips is the best way. But Frequency Isolation (Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH)) is a way to reduce interference when they are both on the same chip (as it is in Galaxy Note 2 & S3 - they have Broadcom BCM4330 for wifi/bluethooth/FM) which I guess needs to be addressed in a software update (or may be it already has and is not working well). The last solution is to use 5GHz band for WIFI.
There you have it. But please let me know what you think and if you have found out anything else.
Thanks

IPad Mini 3 drops WiFi connection to hotspot under load

I have a weird problem that appears to be device-specific. Ingredients:
iPad Mini 3 (WiFi)
iOS 8.2
FreedomPop Sierra Wireless Hotspot
I have no issues with network connectivity with my Mini 3 on high speed networks at home or work. In particular, I can run the Ookla Speedtest app just fine. I can download/update apps fine. However, if I connect to the Hotspot (which has much lower bandwidth), I have problems under heavy network load, such as those. The Mini 3 will drop the connection, thus messing up what I was trying to do, then connect again. If I do the same experiment with my wife's Mini 3 (mine is 64GB, hers is 32GB), all conditions the same (OS, Hotspot, apps), her Mini 3 does not drop the connection, and everything works fine.
I have done the obvious things, but the connection still gets dropped intermittantly:
force-exit all apps
restart the Mini 3
update to iOS 8.2 (the problem was present in earlier iOS 8 versions, too)
I have concluded that my Mini 3 must have a hardware problem with the WiFi. Are there other possiblities? What are the odds Apple will fix the problem (which probably requires a new Mini 3) if I'm right?

Thanks for responding.
I don't suspect the Sierra. It worked fine with my wife's Mini 3, my laptop, my iPod, my older iPad. During my testing I used only one device at a time. The problem with my Mini 3 persists after resetting the Mini 3. I have not tried backup/restore.
My Mini 3 works fine through my home router, at least to the extent that the WiFi connection does not drop.
I agree that there's probably no widespread problem with Mini 3 WiFi. However, given the set of things that work and don't work, particularly that my wife's Mini 3 has no problem but mine does, the only remaining variable (IMO) is the WiFi support in my Mini 3. And given that my wife's identical (other than memory size) Mini 3 has no problem, it could only be the WiFi hardware in my specific Mini 3.
It remains a mystery to me what it is about the interaction between my Mini 3 and the hotspot that causes the WiFi connection to drop.

Hi - my mac mini drops the internet after 30 seconds. If i reset in the diagnosics it works again but then drops it just the same. Its connected to my home network. All other apple devices are fine?

I have a home network which services:
Apple TV
Air port express
Mac book pro
I phone
All the above wrok perfectly.
I have a mac Mini which will join the network and operates fine but keeps dropping the internet after 30 secods of connection?
If I reset everything in the diagnostics box it will rejoin the network but then drops it again !!!
any ideas?
