Alright so I was following some YouTube idiot and rooted my phone wrongly, so it wouldn't boot, so I downloaded the GRI54 Deodexed and flashed it on, completely stock, however, there are 2 weird problems on my GT-i9023 Nexus S
Problem 1 - The wi-fi is WEAK. Not just normal weak, EXTREMELY WEAK. I'm only 1 meter away from the router and I've already lost 1-2 bar(s)??? When I'm out atschool and use my iPod Touch 4g, I get full-bars but with my Nexus S I have only 1 bar and the internet doesn't work at all!
Problem 2 - Youtube buffers videos fine on the wi-fi, but with EVERY video after 1 minute it would come up with an error saying something like touch to retry, and it happens EVERY MINUTE. LITERALLY. 1 minute later, bam, video stops loading. So I reload the video, continue from where it stopped and BAM one minute later, touch to retry.
What the heck is wrong here? The GSM signal is awesome/amazing, I get fullbars everywhere, but the wi-fi and youtube are annoying me.
Should I try out a custom ROM to see if it fixes this problem??
Tried custom roms, same thing.
What channel is your W-LAN AP set to?

Was 6, changed it to 1, no difference.
Oh and I restored using Odin and the weak wi-fi was resolved.
But I still have this weird YouTube problem where it will load a video, then suddenly stop loading it after 1 minute in HQ mode and 3 minutes in non-HQ mode, it's like the wi-fi sleeps or something.
same problem here. Cannot watch youtube videos on both youtube app and browser.

Yeah, same. But weirdly enough Vimeo videos buffer and load just fine, and I can enjoy the whole video? WEIRD.
I have same YouTube problem.
About wifi it seems like I have a problem too: I have a router at home and there are some places where my father's old HTC touch HD gets the wifi and my device doesn't even see the network.
I'm on stock 2.32 had the nexus s since Jan or Feb and I never
Had wifi or you tube problems it must be all that rooting and rom experimenting y'all been
Doing....
Well I'm running a custom ROM and have no problems. My Wifi reception is acceptable and even when I'm far away from my access point and getting just 18 Mbit/s YouTube videos load just fine, HQ mode too.
Problem can be the channel your access point is set to our other Wifis in your neighborhood. You could also try to update the radio on your Nexus S and disable the sleep policy for Wifi connections.
Same here. Even if i sit right next to the router, my wifi speeds are pathetic. Is this a problem with the handset or the android 2.3.4 OS?
Any luck finding out???
My wifi speeds are fine but I did notice the drop in signal. I realized the wifi antenna might be on the bottom or near the bottom of the phone where the buldge on the back of the phone. If you put your hand over that spot your signal will drop ....it's sorta like the iPhones grip of death.
Youtube sucks.. It buffers more than Realplayer did in 1998 on dialup. Nothing to do with your phone..

Hi all,
Wonder if anyone has experienced this. My Touch HD (stock Orange ROM) is really jerky when playing Youtube videos through the client over Wifi, but fine over a 3g connection..
The Wifi connection is plenty fast enough, the Mrs has an iPhone, which works fine.
Anyone got any idea what I can check? I've made sure everything is turned off.. bluetooth etc..
stuck!
thanks
Mark
Hi, easy one this :0) Go to the settings tab select communications, in the bottom right tap settings, then tap wireless lan. Once there select the power mode tab then move slide all the way to the left for best performance. Always works for me, hope it does for you :0)
Sadly not mate, already tried that!
OK so this is REALLY weird. If I have nothing else downloading at home, and the youtube player is downloading it's jerky.
If I start a download going on my laptop (usenet - canes my connection) then what HAS buffered on my Touch HD plays fine. The moment I stop the download, it starts to be jerky again.
Almost seems like the throughput to the phone is killing it somehow, weird! have tried all sorts of settings on my router, but no dice.
Really stuck as to what to try next :/
Must admit until buffering is complete, I too get slightly jerky playback. Although this has always been the case with every Windows Mobile device I've had. Sorry I can't help you anymore m8
:0( Good luck with it.
Background downloading slows the device down, so it cant play the video smoothly. Go to youtube app settings and turn video playback quality to fast download. That helps, but the quality is awful.
I use the high quality, and just wait the video to finish downloading.
It's not just the fact that it's downloading in the background because it's doing that over 3g but plays fine, it's something specific to Wifi.
It's also not just slightly jerky, it's REALLY bad.
I mean.. I've watched plenty of reviews of this device where they've streamed youtube over wifiand it.screen fine..
I wonder if upgrading the radio would help? or is the wifi stuff done by the rom?
Worth a try, my HD works much better with new radio 1.10.25.25 + Custom rom Black Pearl 1.7 lite.
will have to give that a try then. The stock Orange rom is good apart from that but a bit slow.
Just finding picking one to flash to a touch daunting, too much choice!
OK, so I downloaded and flashed to panosha Black Pearl v2.1 HD ROM.
Works fine, is VERY nice and fast Also updated my radio version to 1.12.25.16 but the Youtube thing is still there!!!
I'm going to try it on someone else's wifi connection as soon as I can, but for now, anyone got a clue?!?
OK, I've tried three different roms, and even tried two other wifi networks- same problem.
The device is generally slower when connected to a wifi network, not just youtube. I guess it's just more noticeable when playing YT videos.
Really lost now ;(
Could be that once you are connected on WIFI the youtube player automatically selects the best quality video for you to view, increasing system requirements.
At the same time as trying to view the higher quality video the WIFI also uses a fair bit of CPU power. Try downloading a file on WIFI with everything else closed and you'll notice your device is a lot less responsive until the download is completed.
Only a guess though.
Well of course, but you'd expect a device of this spec to be able to play it without stuttering all over the shop whilst nothing else is loaded...
Hi there = I've got the same bleedin problem!
I am on orange payg 3g, Dutty 2.1 extreme rom.
I never had the problem with the original (orange) total pants rom, but I've also updated the radio to 1.12 so perhaps it's an issue with the radio. Have you tried 1.13 the latest?
It's nowt to do with the youtube settings for sure, it's most definitely wi-fi related. I've noted the i-player mobile app is wildly out of sync on the audio too and never used to be that bad.
If anyone has any ideas or tweaks please let us know. thanks!
Maybe its because when you connect to wifi network it says that rx speed is 1mbps (it should be faster) and the real download speed is around 30 kb per second and i think that that is not enough for playing realtime high quality videos (needs buffering more often). When you set option to best performance that will just increase your transmit power and you will get better reception (but the speed still remains). Maybe that is the problem. Any solution on how to increase the RX speed?
Hi there, i am from singapore. I am also experiencing the same problem with the youtube client from the stock rom. i got mine from starhub! the video is jerky! need help!!
Hello,
Im getting a weird youtube problem on my hd2 w/wp7. This happens on any video longer than 1min 20ish sec. It will start and play a video fine, but it will stop playing at around 1:18 min:sec or so. Its like it just doesnt bother to finish downloading. But if its connected to wifi, it will play the entire video.
With good 3g signal, Ill get around 900kb/s dl speeds.
I have tried several youtube apps including lazyworm and HTC.
Im running green mango w/ market place, but this has happened to every rom ive tried.
Im on giffgaffs network (o2) and I have unlimited downloads. I also have asked them if they throttle youtube at all and they said no. They said to try to erase any apn/proxy settings i have, but I dont have any settings under apn.
Thanks or looking and any help is much appreciated!
Chris.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem or have any ideas??

I've been looking everywhere for solutions to the weak Wifi on the Nexus 10, but didn't find any solutions yet.
The network also has an added wifi repeated connected via LAN, but still the Nexus keeps 1-3 bars of wifi.
I have another 5 or so Wifi devices, Galaxy S2, Lumia 920, iPhone, 2 laptops. None of these have any issues and are always on 4-5 bars, usually max all the time.
I've tested both on 2.4ghz and 5ghz, both to my Asus AC66U and also to an old RT-10, one Huawei, etc.
It's very clear that no matter the band or router settings, the Nexus 10 really has a weak signal reception in comparison.
Since the Nexus is new for me, it's on 4.3 and I don't know how it performed earlier.
Are there any other modem drivers or similar that can be flashed?
Any other experiences with custom ROM's?
Wifi strength has been a little weak since release honestly. Has been mentioned alot here and around the web for a while.
Now my problem since the latest update has been wifi drops where I lose wifi transfer completely even though the wifi icon shows a good connection.
I think this is something new (i know it is for me at least) and have been looking to see if anyone else has seen this issue in the latest software release.
If I toggle wifi off/on it works after but it is a huge pita.

This problem (wifi icon gray and no internet connection) started with 4.3 for me without question. Previously wifi connectivity was rock solid and I never gave a second thought to it. Nothing changed but the android version. I hope it is fixed in 4.4.

Yeah, another guy at work told me his is doing the same after 4.3. Surprised we aren't seeing it mentioned more around here.
Anyone else seeing wifi drops?

mine was doing the same thing. i tried clearing the cache, uninstalling apps that i thought might interfere and then a full factory reset. still had the same problem. i rooted and then did a factory reset from recovery and it hung up reinstalling apps so i did another factory reset still in and out. i did another factory reset and logged into my wifi and left for a few hours to work on something else. when i got back the signal showed full and about half of the apps installed. i reinstalled all of the apps that hadn't installed and it's working fine now. not sure why i had to wipe it 4 times but it's working fine now and streaming movies without a hiccup. i guess something kept getting corrupted during the setup or reinstall of apps. anyway it's been working fine for a few hours which is the best it's done in the last month.
Not had my note 3 long and love it coming from an iphone 5. One thing thats stopping me use it as a daily device at the minute is the flakey wifi - The note constantly disconnects from my wifi where as on my iphone i have a rock solid connection and every other phone ive had.
Ive also noticed poor cellular data often switching from G / H / H+ and cant maintain a solid connection for say spotify which i use in my car but its just unusable on the note. Stop starting constantly and buffering any youtube video.
Ive applied the latest update but still get the same issue.
Could this be an hardware fault or is anyone else experiencing the same issues?
Thanks

I'm not having that issue with the play store, however, apps aren't downloading on WiFi or LTE. I just get the downloading message with an endless blue downloading bar... I'm on PureNexus with elimentalX kernel. Any problems like that?
No such issue here, all loads fast on my wifi
Yey, my phone is not " wrong"
Not the same problem but it is similar:
My 6p's wifi would randomly just stop working (no data activity) and then disconnect from wifi and reconnect.
I had it connected to an E3000 router with a recent dd-wrt build (from 2015)... anyway I flashed a 2014 build (kong 22000) and it has not done it again.
So maybe check router settings... WMM etc or reset settings and start again.
flashed it about 15 times all four stock images, cm13 and elementalx kernel
IDK wtf is going on, and this is the second 6P to do this. i did an RMA

Did you check you WiFI Router?
I have no such issues.
All three of my networks
and they all run 20ms over 3MB/s to 6MB/s
this is my 43rd phone in 12 years.
thats why im posting because it has no apparent reason
Works fine here. https://youtu.be/3DvU4fXjdNI
Wifi is fine here.
Also, The Wifi Test sounds like a great dance move
Could be your dns servers. Or network settings,
I had similar issues with both the play store and with downloading general files from chrome. Once I updated the play store to v6.0 it happened less frequently there, and once I used the WiFi analyzer app and realized how many of my neighbors were using channel 6 I switched mine to channel 11 and haven't had a single issue since.
nope, doesn't happen with me. I do have very slow lte tho lol
