Please Help. WiFi Download speed is TOO LOW - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys...I have posted in many threads but was not getting an answer...So I created this thread...Im having a serious WIFi crisis...My downloading speed is very very low..I have a 1MB line...but my max download speed is like 3-4 KBs...I have tried many things...There was a thread with wifi issue and a possible fix...Tried that with no success...I have unchecked the wifi optimization in settings too...Also tried installing franco's kernel, that didnt help either...
So is there a solutiin or do I have to live like this...as i cant return to google as a rma ...
P.S My other android phones had no problem on this router...
Thanks..

Does this only happen on your router or all wifi signals.
Only thing I can think of is updating the router software and see if this changes things at all.

When you say you've tried another possible fix.. Were you talking about system/etc/WiFi/ WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini trick?

That's really weird because I used that same method to fixing my WiFi problem and it works. Double check to see if you changed the right one.. =\ all I can say man
Google Nexus 4

Turn off BMPS (Set it to 0) in the wifi ini. This should theoretically remove all slowdowns but will prevent your phone from sleeping (with wifi on). Another solution is to download Franco Kernel with Prima Drivers and force wireless G mode in the ini.

I was having the same problem but then I found this franco+prima kernel in the android development section and now the problems gone

Anyway here you go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272140
This includes the latest Franco Kernel (Way Better than M2) + Prima Drivers. Try to test this first before we force wireless G mode

I have that problem to , it seems that firmwares 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 has some problems with routers ( not all ) i have a belkin and when i installed those firmwares i observed the problem now i`m using 2.3.4 with cf-root and semaphore and works properly
I do have an smc barricade and an UPC router i dont know the model of it but that one disconnects too.. it's very weird never had this problem on Miui/ics/froyo/gingerbread, and flashed over 100 roms! So i think it's too about that 2.3.5-2.3.7 firmware problem :/ i hope that this will be fixed because i dont have an unlimited data plan

Probably a noob question, but have you controlled the suspend policy in the advanced wifi settings?

Have you tried this on different wifi networks? It sounds like your connection is probably not reliable.

Switching to WEP may solve it
I'd really like to help but i don't have much time right now. But i can give you something to start.
1. I'm not sure but N7 may not have all wi-fi modes because of production costs. Wi-fi b/g is there but no a/n. Maybe it has something to do with this. Your router could be broadcasting on a or n or something. Actually i'm not good at this. I'm just trying to give you some leads.
2. Setting your wi-fi password to WPA could cause some problems on some devices, not only N7. I've seen it on laptops, phones, some unimportant wi-fi enabled devices. Maybe if you could set it to WEP, your download problems could be solved. I don't have a N7 but my download problems solved everytime i switched to WEP.

Nexus S stops syncing on WiFi when screen is off

I can't figure this out and its driving me batty. When my phone is on wifi and the screen is off, it will stop syncing with Google.
I turn my screen on and the wifi signal is grey, then after a moment, it turns blue and I get my Google voice texts, gmail, etc.
Dies anyone have any idea?

what ROM/kernel are you running? Did you flash a kernel with updated wifi drivers and flash another (kernel) without reinstalling the ROM?
Otherwise, yes...check your router settings.
I'm sorry that changing out to wifi never sleeps, didn't fix your problem.

The stock Droid 3 ROM has a battery saving "feature" in the settings. Do you have that somewhere?

Make sure to read the changelog of the kernel. Some kernels include updated WiFi/Bluetooth drivers and if you switch kernels you must reflash the ROM to revert the drivers.

[Help][Urgent]WiFi won't turn on

Hi there!
I'm having a really bad problem at the moment on my s4 (i9505). Recently I upgraded from stock (MDE) to pre-rooted (MF8). Since then, my WiFi has stopped working, and it seems to be the only thing that has gone wrong. When I toggle WiFi on, it immediately toggles off (both in the quick settings, and through the settings panel). When I mean immediately, I mean within 1/10 of a second.
I flashed another ROM over it (OMEGA V7) and nothing changed.
I feel as though I've missed something vital, and would rather work on a fix for it rather than flash stock through Odin and start from scratch. Any help is very much appreciated.
Check settings in WiFi. There is an option for using cell or WiFi based on which one is faster, disable it.

Ive had this issue before when my kernel and modem are mismatched but also when a weird setting is enabled... and I cant remember what it is.
Try a factory reset but do not restore your phone settings from google... only your contacts

No idea what's wrong. I literally JUST flashed a ROM. I've been doing this for almost 3 years and never have I seen an issue like this.
Might take the phone back.

I can't really say why this happens but a lot of times with this phone it seems that the MAC address to the wifi is somehow lost and by removing the /data/.cid.info file you can somehow reset something that makes things work again. I assume it's somehow tight to different wifi network chip drivers in different kernels but I'm not sure. On some ROM's I have tried I have to do this on every boot...

Wifi doesn't turn on help

Hi guys,
I have the following problem, I had pa installed on my oppo everything was fine minus the dots on the camera.
I decided to try CM10 so I flashed it like I allways flash my phones, full wipe and flash everything went well. But this time I turn on the phone and I cant enable wifi, so I came to stock hoping it would correct the issue, well it didn't so I flashed some other roms and guess what ? cant enable wifi on any of them. is simply say's "turning wifi on..."
guys I've done everything do you have any suggestions ?
regards,
Sérgio Pereira

Are you just trying at home? If you haven't already, try resetting your router/modem. The ole unplug for 10 seconds should do the trick.
