Z3 wifi dropping issue, im a new android user.

Hi all,
So ive just moved to android from iOS. But anyway in the quick settings on my z3 my wifi is turned on. When im connected to a wifi network the phone works perfectly.
My issue is that the wifi turns itself off when I leave my home or workplace. i.e. When im not connected to wifi and im outside it turns itself off. Now my question is that normal? After some testing I noticed the issue is intermittent and it turns on and off everynow and then when im not connected to wifi.
Coming from an engineering background I would initially suspect its a fault with the wifi chip however I dont want to jump ahead just yet.
My settings are:
Network notification: On(ticked)
Keep wifi on during sleep: Always
Scanning always available: Off(not ticked)
Avoid poor connections: On
rest is standard.
Any help would be appreciated
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just curios is that a guess or actually a resolution to the problem. Reason I ask is because it says that google apps can search for wifi which im not liking the sound of. As I said im a new droid user

Has New Router or Antenna Helped WiFi Dropping Issues?

Hi, I'm helping someone get setup with their brand new MacBook (2.26Ghz White). It's only 3 days old, but could not reliably connect to their wireless network anywhere except in the same room as their router. They have a Netgear WGR614 router.
When in the room with the router, everything works great, but once out in the main living room (just down a very short hallway), they get constant dropouts or the computer won't connect at all. I would say it connects maybe 10% of the time. But an old PC laptop, my Android phone, and the living room TiVo all connect perfectly and never drop out, no matter where we walk.
I've read through some of the threads, and most are concerning older machines. But I spent a couple hours with 2nd level Apple tech support today, and they concluded after much testing that it may be hardware related. So we ended up taking it back to day and swapping for a completely new machine (instead of having the Airport card replaced). But this machine has the SAME EXACT PROBLEM!
My signal strength in the main area averages around -60 to -70, which should be fine to connect. And it appears to be on a pretty clear channel.
- So, if it's not hardware related (or if all MacBooks will have this same issue), I'm wondering what other solutions people have tried that has given some success?
- Anyone try extension antennas for their routers? If so, which work well and are affordable?
- How about specific routers known to work well with Mac (better than Netgear)? The Airport Extreme BS is just too expensive for what it offers.
THANKS! If we can't get this working in this small, basic setup, we'll probably have to try something other than Mac unfortunately.

But what's really ticking me off, is the Xfinity hotspot broadcasting just fine. Hadn't gotten around to turning it off yet. Hey Comcast, what gives!!!Your decision on the public hotspot on your equipment...me ? I turned it off....Have you used a wireless scanner to see if you are getting stomped on by surrounding wifi APs? Channel congestion can impact your system....

Wifi drops constantly on brand new HP Envy Notebook.

I've always thought so highly of HP and as such, decided to purchase an HP laptop - an HP Envy 15-K233ca Notebook. I have had some issues from the start and one in particular, is making for a rather unpleasant experience. The wifi connection keeps dropping. It drops when the system is put in sleep mode, when I surf the net and even after a reboot. I walked through the issue (and a few others) with HP's help desk this evening and after 2 hours was met with the same problem. I am now having to reboot the computer and troubleshoot to try and maintain a wifi connection. This is my first experience with an HP Laptop and I'm disappointed. It's unfortunate, but I may have to return it. I'll be walking over to Apple for a replacement. If someone from HP can resolve this for once and for all, it would be helpful. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to return the unit. Note: I've noticed that others experience the same issue. I requested that HP's Help Desk install drivers to resolve the issue. If this didn't work after our session this evening, then I'm afraid it may be a hardware issue.

Hi ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues with help from the community!
I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY 15-k233ca Notebook and issues with the WiFi dropping constantly. Try this fix.
Go to device manager,the Network adapters WiFi driver properties power management
Allow this computer to turn off wifi to save power, uncheck it and restart the Notebook. Hope this helps. Thanks.

Is there a fix for the iPad2/iOS7 WiFi dropping issue yet?

After searching through Many threads regarding iPad2 Wi-Fi issues, I have found a lot of different "solutions" and I've tried them ALL but my Wi-Fi is STILL dropping out on me all the time. My iPad is running iOS version 7.1.2. I am constantly getting errors like
"We were unable to connect to the servers. Please try again later."
or
"Internet Connection Lost",
or i try to download an app and it just spins for a minute then acts as though nothing happened and the app never installs. I literally can't use any of my apps and the only way to reliably download them onto my iPad is to push it over from itunes with the ipad plugged in via usb after downloading it on my computer.
I have tried:
1-Checking connection settings (airplane mode Off, wifi connected to correct secure home network, bluetooth Off, mobile data Off)
2-rebooting ipad
3-making sure there's nothing running in the background by double-tapping the home button
4-removing an apostrophe from the ipad name.
5-putting the ipad into Airplane mode and then going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
6-going to Settings > Control Center and disable Access on Lock Screen then turning ipad off and on again.
7-updating router firmware
8-doing a factory reset, then repeating steps 1 through 6
Any other ideas?? I really need to make this work! Any help will greatly appreciated.

8-doing a factory reset, then repeating steps 1 through 6
Do you mean a restore to factory settings?. If so did you set up as new or restore from back up afterwards?

Wifi bar issue with brand new iPhone 4S

My wifi bar was greyed out, and I just had to get a new iPhone 4s to solve the problem. That was today, and the issue has already returned after I updated from 7.0.1 to 7.1. Help?

Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. If still problem after the Restore take it to Apple. Replacement iPhone still has Warranty. Make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution.

Wifi dropping issues on mac os x lion

I have a mac my wifi work fine and so as my other computers and iphones and so on. But as soon as i upgraded to to mac os x lion my wifi started to drop and lose wifi range no i can only use wifi close to my dsl which is sensless but thats the only way i can connect to the internet. Then i said its probably my router so i changed my router to att uverse and it stil did the same thing.. I then called apple support the couldn't help me they said it might be a environment thing blocking my wifi range but i told them all the rest of my computers are on my wifi are working fine and he was like it can't be the the software or a hardware problem but i think theres a bug on mac os x lion that messes up your airport card to get long range wifi signal.. so if anybody else is having problems like me please let me know... or if you have an issue to fix this contact me

Click here and follow the instructions, or use the computer’s original disks(if any), or buy an iLife 11 DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay.

Verizon just needs to admit the issue with the new Android release and work to resolve things

The carrier owes it to their customers to test new os releases for phones they support. So whether this is Android or Samsung (I have an S5 Galaxy), who might be more at fault for this horrible release, it is the carrier that all blame must fall back to. This has to be a Verizon issue to work and quickly resolve. I have never been on any of these forums due mainly to no need. My galaxy was awesome and Verizon was solid. This OS update has changet all that. Since the update here are my issues that have been happening. (I am sure I will discover more issues as people on these forums are pointing out.)
Phone reboots on its own 4 to 6 times per day.
Phone gets real hot for no reason.
Battery life is half what it used to be.
Charging time is much longer.
A number of apps that never had issues now keep failing.
Phone never used to lock up but now has been locking up a number of times and sometimes requires a reboot.
Music apps that never had a problem now just stop playing for no reason.
Phone seems to bog down quickly.
All in all, this phone Android update has been one of the worst phone experiences so far. I am not sure how Verizon can avoid taking steps to fix this and publicly acknowledge there are problems.

Agree. Overnight my phone update locked up. Luckily I woke up and noticed it and was able to spend the time to restart the puone..then the phone was too hot and had to 'cool' then at some point it locked up again and I ended up waking 15 mins after my 1st alarm and 15 mins before my 2nd one....never went off because phone locked up. Would have made everyone late to school and work. Today my phone is running all kinds of apps I never started (in the background) and battery has drained faster than ever before. I am really frustrated that the only help I get is to disable these apps or reset the update through my computer. Since others are having similar issues, I'm convinced the problem is once again with the update. Thanks, samsung and Verizon for making us upgrade and them ruining our experience!

Wifi dropping issue

I have a MBP and when I let it go to sleep it will drop the wifi when I wake it up. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks.

Go to Network System Preferences and click the Advanced button;
From the Wi-Fi tab, delete all the known networks
Return to the main Network display and delete Wi-Fi from the Services list.
Finally, add a new Wi-Fi service (by clicking the + icon at the bottom of the list section).

WiFi Dropping issue with Lion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just got off phone with support and they informed me it has to be my router causing the issue. Now I just bought the iMac on sunday and its my first Mac. My PC had no problems with the network or the wireless printer, But now I guess my router is bad, Lol. Wonder if anyone else got the problem fixed. New Lion update did not fix my Wifi issue.
Love my new mac! Thats sarcasm
Thank god Apple has 14 day return policy, might need to use that and go buy a HP.

Have to admit I feel your pain. I had an old Netgear that worked great with iPods, MacBooks, in-laws PCs when they visited. Then I upgraded to a new MBP and it wouldn't stay connected. Long story short, I broke down and bought a refurbished dualband Airport Extreme and after a little tweaking it has been running perfectly, including a 5Gz band that is very fast (not any faster on Internet, but home network file transfer is faster). I read volumes of info about this problem and came to the conclusion that either Macs are getting pickier and pickier regarding wireless (innocent answer) or Apple wants us to buy Apple stuff (not so innocent answer). So they got $129 out of me that I felt I shouldn't have had to spend, but it is seamless and works great. And I've also read others who got an Airport Extreme and still had problems. Wireless stuff can be very complex.

Wifi dropping (27-inch, Late 2012)

Hi,
I purchased a late-2012 iMac a few months ago (brand new, from a physical Apple store), and since I've had it, it's had this problem of randomly dropping my wifi connection.
I've googled this issue and it seems to be a common thing. I've tried a couple different solutions (e.g. creating a new Location in Network preferences; setting the Service Order so that Wi-Fi is on top; changing the Wi-Fi Hardware MTU from 1400 to 1500), but none seem to fix the problem permanently.
Last night, I was trying to upload a 10mb file over FTP and my wifi connection was dropped every minute (no exaggeration), so I quit and tried again this morning. Sometimes it happens frequently, like last night, other times it'll happen maybe once in the day.
Has anyone else encountered this wifi dropping issue with their iMac, and if so, what have you tried to fix this problem?
Thanks,
Derek

I have been having this problem with just one of our iMacs in our house. I went through Apple support and navigated through all the twists and turns they suggestedto try to get the problem solved. NOTHING WORKED. THEY DON"T KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. BUT I DO! Unfortunately it involves buying a $30 wireless ethernet adapter (I got an IOGEAR, and I have no connection to their company. Probably any wireless ethernet adapter will work). I turned off the internal airport wireless device and through the network settings in the system preferences connected to my CISCO LYNKSYS ROUTER (which has been bashed left and right in the forums here). THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED!!!!! NO RESTARTING!!! NO DROPPED CONNECTIONS!!!!
So the problem isn't with the router, its with the airport wireless adapter in the iMac. It ***** to have to spend more money after you lay out so much for an apple product, but it sure beats restarting the computer over and over every day.
Hope this helps my friends out there. I can now allow my hair to repopulate my head since I've been pulling it out over this issue for months.

New wrv210 issues, wifi drops, reboots

I just purchased a couple of these routers. One for home and for some business clients. So far I have only setup one at home and am kind of disappointed. I can consistently make the wifi drop by clicking to different menu items in the web config gui. In these cases, my wifi clients drop and cannot reconnect, even though the my ssid is still being broadcast by the router, but all clients on the ethernet switch can still ping the router and access the internet. A reboot is required to allow wireless clients to associate. For example, last night my browser was refreshing on the System Performance page for about 20 minutes. I clicked onto Router status and all wifi clients drop. If there is no easy solution to this I will get more technical information (packet captures of 802.11 association, wpa handshakes, etc).
In other cases, using the web interface will cause the router to reboot. I have a syslog server setup (on ethernet) but it doesn't receive anything except for URL Detections and New Connections.
I have a pretty simple setup at home, one ssid, 802.11b/g, wpa2 personal (I've tried Personal Mixed, too). The router seems to be running the latest firmware (2.0.0.11) and a recent hw revision (WRTR-221G_V01).
I am heading to a client location to setup the 2nd wrv210 now. Are these known issues? Are there any solutions?

Hi,
The guys at Cisco Small Biz Support are great and RMA'd that first router. So I received the replacement yesterday and set it up. It's performing a lot better than the last one, except I get random reboots/lockups. Firmware 2.0.0.11. The remote syslog seems to work though, so I gathered some evidence last night while I was out to dinner (so network activity was idle/light, 192.168.2.1 is the wrv210 IP):
Mar 31 19:33:36 192.168.2.1 klogd: Packet type : 0 -- free socket buffer only

So a random restart while I wasn't home at 19:40 (PST), router restarts, boots, pppoe session starts (at&t adsl). I can see random iphones/wifi clients associating then the logs fill with:

and again about 50 mins later. This happened all night.
I can only guess that some buffer is filling up and causing a restart. The funny thing is this happens less often while the network is utilized. I'd like to help figure this problem out any way I can. I've done the factory reset and re-configured. I'm about to try that again.
I also disabled the DoS attack stuff because:
Mar 31 12:18:59 192.168.2.1 [DoS] [Detected UDP Land Attack] (UDP) Incomming Source:76.214.xxx:33445 Destination:76.214.xxx:51414 [Droped]
the router was getting some strange false positives (same src/dst IP, my wan interface). Also it doesn't inspire a lot of confidence that there are typo's in the firmware! "Incomming" and "Droped"
Thanks in advance,
Keith

New Time Capsule Gen4 Wifi drops

the 1. old TC 1. Gen a lo of problems with Power Supply, Backup but the Wifi works over 3 Years well.
now i get a new TC Gen4, but Wifi will not work stable. After few hours, mostly in evening, Wifi drop the internet Session on Ipad's.
i changed the TC in a new one, similar problem, i upgraded to 7.6.1 ... similar problem.
i discoussions here a lot of Wifi issues are reported, no one get a solution i tried all the tips ... not solving the pain.
older firmware are referenced to get more stable, but there is no link on apple's support page -> if you get a link, please give me ex. 7.5.1/2 are bether.
older firmware does have a bullet more under option -> something like "interference sensibility". maybe this would help.
old TC was fine, same area, same time, new TC and replaced TC is bad -> please apple its yours to fix this!!
any serios solution its helpfull, now i tried over 5 days all options, channels ... its worst!
thanks

You need 5.6 utilty for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Then when you select to update the firmware, hold down the options key.. the link to the older firmware opens and you can select.. but the new Gen4 might not go back if it was originally supplied to you with 7.6 firmware.
Use the old Gen 1 for wireless. Just use a 5v power supply hard wired to the internal board plug. The TC will run forever with a simple external 5v 3A power supply.

Wifi disconnect issue w new Mac

I bought a new Mac about a week ago. Right away I started experiencing wifi disconnect issues. I called customer support line and they had me reset the eprom. I don't recall the key sequence now. The problem went away for a week but has now returned. Is this a hardware quality issue?

right my friend, you know this is not an uncommon issue with mac, all my macs have the same issue (macbook, mac pro, mac mini and older imac), i disconnect the wifi and reconnect to sole the issue. it depends alot on what you have thats goign on around you, if there is a lot of wireless networks in your area then this might cause the issue. i improved this problem using a time machine and set the wireless to 5ghz only - it helped. i also bought an airport express to strengthen the network and touchwood this is a rare problem for me now!
try moving the modem around in case it this - ensure its not on the floor or touching the floor, there are many tips for improving modem connections look on youtube
however the sequence for this is on

Reader causing issues with dropped underscores in courier new font

When converting a microsoft word document in 2013 or 2007 to a PDF is causing issues with dropped underscores. It only seems to happen in courier new. For instance if I have _someCode, when converting this over to a PDF file I will sometimes see _someCode and sometimes I will see someCode. If I open this file in a different pdf reader then it looks correct 100% of the time. If I copy and paste into another application then the underscore shows. This is a major issue for people putting code into a PDF document as underscores are important and courier new is what we often use.

I love how quick you are to throw Microsoft under the bus. Often it is their fault. In this case I believe you are 100% wrong and absolutely short sighted to ignore this. As I said in my original email, which you apparently missed, I have tried this in multiple PDF viewers and Adobe Reader is the ONLY reader that misses the underscores. Foxit, PDF Exchange and Sumatra all render it perfectly. Adobe reader missed 6 underscores in my document that has 18 underscores. 30% of the time in this document Adobe Reader makes the underscore invisible. And if I switch the zoom to 100% instead of 148% (which is the default for me for some reason) then Adobe Reader misses 7 of them. This doesnt occur in the other readers. Blame Microsoft all you want but the simple fact is that Adobe Reader has issues reading courier new's underscores. It needs to be fixed.
