[Q] Slow Wifi - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since yesterday I have a (rooted) Note 4 (910f).
I noticed, that my Wifi performance is much lower as with my HTC M8. With the M8 I get about 5mb/s whereas with the Note 4 I get 1-1.5mb/s
Any idea what I can do to improve Wifi performance?

get a faster router

or change your internet provider while you are at it :laugh:

Yes, very funny. Maybe you did notice that I mentioned that the transfer rate is fine with the HTC m8? or with my laptop,too. It's just the note 4 that is slow.

Someone else here mentioned that root screwed up their wifi connection. Can't remember which thread, maybe cf's. Don't know if they managed to fix it.

If you are using bluetooth, disable it and see if your wifi connection is faster - or use a 5ghz connection. My note 2 has the same problem.

bluetooth is disabled and i am using 5g.
the connection itself is stable. it is just slow regarding the transfer rate.

Me too man, wifi drops to 6mbps on my 200 mbps fibre network. Upload runs to 100mbps though. Weird

Please try turning off wifi, activating and then deactivating the flight mode, wait till the 3/4G kicks in first, only then reactivate wifi and try measuring speed again.

[Q] crappy wifi performance?

I seem to only get about 200kb/s via wifi on internal networks -- other people seeing the same thing?
mine is working good here...10mb per second...
mine is fast 14.6 download 4 up
14 down consistently which is better than some of my laptops get
Mine is super fast compare to both my modded n1 and g2. Usually the phones do 4 gbps down and 1.something, the xoom doubles
The speed: 9 down and 4 up.

Download speeds are quick and speed tests match my Dell laptop.
No issues here...

i always find that when speeds let down or connectivity problem arise then reset. I reset modem, router, and laptop and then all is good in the world.
Yeah, my xoom's wifi is dropping its connections to my wireless router. I will reset everything on my home network. But I still think something is wrong. I will also try a tether from my galaxy s 4g to see if I get the same loss of connection. I will respond in the next day or two on what happens.

What are you guys using to speed test?
Mine is working.fine. reset my friend

Yeah my xoom will only load half of sites, no matter how long I wait. Wont load facebook or engadget at all. Xda works fine though.

Well, I said I would respond in the next day or two. Well, I've downloaded speedyest.net app from my tetherred phone while my wireless network was resetting. From tether: 2.60mb dl .60mb ul. From wireless network: 17.9mb dl and 2.9mb ul. No connection drops now. Things seem to be fine since resetting network and leaving it off for 10+ minutes.
Mine is working fine...way better than with 3g. Not sure about the signal of verizon in my area, my galaxy tab from tmo is faster.
I got 20M down and 1M up on my wi-fi. My Droid X can barely get 6M down and 1M up.
Not quite the same issue - my speed is fine - but I've noticed the Xoom gets 1-2 less bars of signal on WiFi in the same location than my iPhone or iPad.
It's also quite variable - depending on the orientation of the device, I watch the WiFi signal meter go up and down from 4 bars to 0, and even drop the connection. Meanwhile, my iPad is perfectly happy.
I have also noticed it's worse on 802.11n 5GHz vs 2.4GHz.
What else other than speed test.net app? Lol.
Here's a tip on how to increase your wifi performance. Not by much but it helps:
Use an aluminum foil sheet. Put the sheet behind the router and point it to where you usually use your device.
My ps3 read 92 percent, a 24 percent bump. The router is located in the living room where it has to travel through 2 walls to get to my room. My nexus and the xoom read 3 bars constantly vs 2 bars before.

poor tethered performance

I have just bought an sim free Arc S
speed test app show a good solid 5mbps down and 3.4 up
how ever in tether via WiFi or usb, it struggles to get past 3 down and 1.5 up
my currently dead galaxy nexus would match its wifi tether speeds with the app
any ideas?
just tested now in the quiet time
phone hit 9.6 down
tether hit 3.5 down
both on speed test on the same server
WiFi tether seems very poor.
I have unlimited data inc tethering my phone are my broadband connection
I have line of sight to my cellphone companys local mast
I get an average of 5mbps busy time, 10mbps quiet time
My currently busted Galaxy Nexus would give me the same results of speedtest either by the app, or on the website on my i7 laptop
The galaxy Y thats my standby phone gives me 4mbps average gives me the same results of speedtest either by the app, or on the website
BUT
The SE Xperia Arc S, has hit 9.6mbps in the app, but its wifi tether will not go much above 3mbps
It also drops and hangs the tether A LOT meaning you sat there waiting a lot.
Ideas ?
Try another theter and report if there's the same issue.
" theter" ?
What's that?
you mean the USB tether
ok, tried that, marginal improvement, still not getting above a stable 3.5mbps for HD streaming, and the connection hangs (pauses) a lot lot more.
yet the phones speed test app still cranks out great results
No, I mean a different WiFi tether or hotspot or AP ...

Nexus 4 Has Weak WiFi Range ??

It has this problem on my galaxy nexus have it the when i have the gs3 not have it the new nexus have it ??
??????
For me the WiFi range is better than the gnex.

I'm guessing not since no one has reported it...
Also, wait more than 15 mins before you bump your thread next time

But he waited a whole 17 minutes, so that must validate his bump!
lolll thanks
My n4's WiFi range is much much better than my s3 and gnex. Similar to my 4s.

I felt the Wifi range was a bit less too, than my GS2. Only at times, however.
just got my N4 and when connecting to my Galaxy nexus hotspot it gets very poor speeds even though the GN will get very good speeds. I connected my N7 to the same hotspot and get good speeds.
for example
N4 connected to GN gets an average of about 1-3mbps
GN will get 9+ easily
N7 connected to GN gets 5+ easily.
My N4 won't even connect to a wireless network at my girlfriends that is configured exactly the same way my home one is with the same SSID and password. Connects fine at my house but not my gfs. all my other devices connnect to both just fine. N4 won't even detect the network at my GFs

I've experienced similar. Toggling WiFi off/on solved my problem.

My property is 100 feet by 180 feet and the router is pretty much smack dap in the middle of it in my house and I can connect to my wifi outside anywhere on my property without a problem. Might be you have a weak router if your having problems. Connecting to TMobiles network is another thing.
wifi weak
I am facing similar issues with wifi on Nexus 4.
I am having only 1/5 bars in comparison to my old Nokia N9 which shows 4/5. Both on 5 Ghz, I tried using different router , still Nexus 4 seems weaker to me.
Mine is weaker than any past device. My N10 doesn't fair much better. Solved it with a wireless repeater.

Yeah that didn't work for me. This happened on fresh stock out of box android and even after I flashed another ROM. It connects to all other wireless just fine though. Probably an issue with that router but that's quite odd if that is the case. I mean, it doesn't even SEE the network at all.
Probably your area is swamped with other networks. I've noticed where I am there are like 50 networks, It can never quite find my router in all the mess...
At my house though I can only see 2-3 networks and it works perfectly. This is probably software related.
I'm having a similar but different issue with my wifi.
No only was my wifi signal pretty weak, it seems that my phone's wifi is no longer working. I noticed that the wifi on my device would not work at all (it won't even turn on) whenever I restarted my nexus 4 and got a "Process System isn't responding" message. The only times in which my wifi was working, was when I didn't get that message. The bad part now is, I seem to be getting that message on all my reboots.
I've tried wiping cache, dalvik cache, fixing permissions, and factory resets.
Any advice?
I have a rooted stock, with clockworkmod recovery. (rooted using efrant's method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312)

Wifi on Oneplus 2 works extremely slow while it works flawlessly in S3

Hi,
I just got my Oneplus 2 yesterday. But I noticed a strange issue.
I live in a hostel where login based public wifi is provided. I have a samsung S3 which connects to the wifi even at peak hours of traffic and gives full speed at all times. But when I connect to the same wifi through my oneplus2, it barely gives any speed, even googling is not possible.
Both the devices are able to connect to the wifi with atleast 3 out of 5 bars. I don't understand why when S3 gives proper speed, at the same time oneplus2's wifi fail to perform which is relatively new. Oneplus2's wifi should atleast perform similar to S3, if not better.
BTW I am using Cyanogenmod 10.2 in S3. I've not rooted or done any configuration changes on Oneplus2 yet.
Please suggest if there is anything that I can do to improve the wifi performance on Oneplus2.
Thanks in advance!!
I'm having a somewhat similar issue. I just got my oneplus 2 today and I connected it up to a friend's beamforming router running on 5ghz ac. While an LG g3, Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Samsung Galaxy s4, Motorola nexus 6 all had a connectivity speed of 400-550Mbps, the oneplus 2 on the same network could only achieve a connectivity speed of 96Mbps. I'm not quite sure what is limiting it's connection. Has anyone experienced something similar?
Just got mine today and same issue. If I check as soon as it connects before IP assignment, it registers 433Mbps but as soon as IP assignment happens and traffic starts up on wifi it drops to 96Mbps. Even worse, it only achieves 10Mbps throughput while my OPO gets easily over 100Mbps throughput. Any ideas? Still stock.
I've seen the same thing here, 10mbps on speedtest with 5 GHZ wifi. Interesting thing is if I switch to 2.4GHz I can eek out 80ish, my OPO on CM 12.1 can easily max out my 150mbit connection, considering compiling CM for the OP2 and testing throughput with that to see if it's an oxygen bug (I think it is).
Same problem here. Connected to the same wifi network with my OPO, OP2, and S6 edge. Connection speed to router was 135 mbps, 86 mbps, and 400 mbps respectively. Speed test results for download were 115 mbps ,32 mbps, 172 mbps respectively. OP2 speeds are just lousy and there are no settings I can see to remove wifi optimization that usually causes issues. Tested using the same app, to the same server, all in the same room and distance from the router. I hope this isn't a result of skimping on the hardware and is software related.
I was having a similar problem on my wifi while downloading apps on my new OP2. Changed the wifi setting from DHCP to Static on my phone and im getting full speeds now. Give it a try
i dont having much knowladge of wifi connection but reception of wifi is poor on one plus two . same wifi connection is also connected with
galaxy s4 , yu yureka ,and even samsung galaxy ace dous 1st gen device have better reception than this.. if i cover place near 3.5mm jack wifi bars drops
i dont know what is going on... phone is heating even if i play clash of clan. battery capacity is enough but i dont know why battery backup is so poor.
i was happy when i ordered this phone and wait for invite for 2months now my all hapines turns into sadness after observing these types of things...
now i m thinking that i return back this phone to amazon and clam my full payment.
IĀ“ve experienced something similair, just the other way around: as soon as the OPT gets connected to my WiFi, all other devicesĀ“ connection slows down.
My one plus one is fine on 5ghz band and same with nvidia shield tab and nexus 7 but op2 sucks ass at 3mbps but as soon as I switch to 2.4ghz I can get 20mbps with lower latency

I've seen slower Wifi performance and more connectivity problems with the latest OOs version. I never saw this with previous versions of the Oxygen OS.
I can live with it for now, but I'm hoping it gets fixed in the next update.
I had the same Issue.
Clean flashing the Rom, and then flashing the kernel again made it better for me, but still not good.
In the end, giving my phone priority in the Router/modem fixed the Issue completely for me.
If u have access to your Routers interface you should try that

Wifi speed issue

Hi devs,
I have been using Mi a1 for 6 months now. I am currently on LOS 15.1. My WiFi speed is still a issue. When on Google play store I notice everyone else getting a excellent WiFi speed compared to me. I usually get 1mbps download speed on play store in my 4mbps WiFi. And my WiFi using a redmi note 4 gets 3mbps download speed on the same WiFi. Is there a fix to the WiFi speed issue.
Why two treads with exactly same content???
Double posting is never appreciated!
