Wifi on Oneplus 2 works extremely slow while it works flawlessly in S3 - OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

[Q] Slow Wifi

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] i9505 slow WiFi away from the router

Hello!
I got my new i9505 two weeks ago, and I'm having issues with Wifi connection.
I have both Galaxy S III and S4. Next to the router (100/10 Mbps HFC connection), my Galaxy SIII reaches 27/10 Mbps, and my Galaxy S4 reaches 30/10 Mbps. That speeds fluctuate (15-40 Mb) but I can say that's a good connection in the phones.
But when I go away a few meters from the router (5-10 meters), the S4 speed drops to 3-0.01 Mb. Yes, 0.01 Mb, when Galaxy SIII drops only 0-5 Mbps less. Curiously, upload speed is usually kept on both phones.
Here are some results from Speedtest.net, left Galaxy SIII right Galaxy S4:
(Sorry, I can't post outside links)
In Galaxy SIII I made one test, results (27.85/10.69/16ms) next to the router. I made the test two times in Galaxy S4, reaching (30.41/8.52/25ms) at its highest point. When I walk away from the router (10m) the speeds on Galaxy S4 drops to 3 Mbps.
I tried all. Stock ROM Kitkat and Lollipop, official PHE ROMs, JFLTE-GPE, Cyanogenmod, different modems (current i9505XXUHOB8)... Is this a hardware failure? What's happening?
If you need more information, please feel free to ask!
Indeed, I'm spanish. I probably made spelling mistakes, I'm not an English expert, please do not judge me harshly! :laugh:
Thanks in advance!
I think it's your router is no good rather than your phone.
Yours must be a max of G mode router or less I think, all my routers are N mode and my SG4 connects at a maximum of 72Mbs, then starts to fall off the farther away I go, it is normal for speed to decrease as you move away.
Your other issue might be the channel that the router is using, also you might have lots of other routers near you too.
Go get WiFi analyser from the play store and find out more info.
Tell us what router you have?

I have a Thomson TGW870 Coaxial router, which is configured in Channel 13, but Wifi Analyzer is fluctuating. I don't have channel 14. Wifi analyzer tells me there is no good channels except channel 14. Sometimes it says channel 12, 13 or 8 are "good" (2-5 stars), so I think it's better stay in Auto.
BTW, I tested all in another connection (ADSL 10/1 Mbps). Galaxy SIII reaches cable speed even staying in the room below (two floor house), when Galaxy S4 reaches incredibly slow speed: (0.01/1 Mbps). Upload speed is unaffected.
I've noticed that Galaxy S4 does not show as many networks as Galaxy SIII, but but networks that detects the S4 have the same attenuation than SIII. They are far connections, but SIII is showing them while S4 not.
Thanks for reply!
Up!
I'm having trouble too with reboots. When I play "Megapolis", the game freezes randomly, and sometimes the phone reboots. I think this may be caused by overheating, but I underclocked to 1.5 Ghz and undervolt -50mV (Stability Test passed). I don't know what's happening with my phone.
Also, my wifi drops sometimes, generally when I'm a bit far from the router.
Is my phone (motherboard or something) damaged?
Hi again with the info you have provided I can't really suggest anything more.
Tell me, how many other routers/other WiFi signals are near you, compare your SIII and SIV.
If you have lots of others near you there must be interface, this is why some people have to use 5Ghz WiFi instead of 2.4 Ghz.
I must note, I haven't seen the specs for the thomson router yet.

The other router I have tested is a Sercomm AD1018 (Vodafone), ADSL connection 10/1 Mbps.
I should try 5 Ghz WiFi, but in my other house (Sercomm), but in my neighborhood there is no more connections, so it isn't an interference issue.
Ah OK mate then if there's no other WiFi signals around then not sure what else.
I will tell you a quick story,
I have a Telstra big pond Adsl2 WiFi router it is a technicolor tg587 I'm pretty sure it is an N300, if I connect upto it and move away about 8 metres away it will drop to B mode and 5Mbs. I also have a WiFi extender it is a dlink dap1320 N300 I can be almost anywhere in the house say upto 20 meters away and still have good connection, it will fluctuate between say 24Mbs and 65Mbs I rarely see lower than that.

Wifi is slow and uses lots of power.

With my 4GB moto g plus the wifi is consistently the largest drain of battery, even when it is connected to wifi all day. In addition there wifi seems to be slower on this phone compared to other device I have owned. I often have to wait quite a while for things to load, when I have a 50 Mb connection, and I am within a few feet of the router.
I read in another post that Flars ElementalX fixed the person's wifi troubles, but I am not sure what those troubles were.
Has anybody else had similar issues, and does anybody have any insight to these issues? I plan to flash twrp and use ElementalX but I haven't gotten there yet.
Battery life though has been better than any other phone I have had and my last one was a Note 4.

WiFi strength, range, and throughput

Rate this thread to express how you think the Nokia 7 Plus's Wifi performs. A higher rating indicates that it has excellent range, throughput, and signal strength. Like when you're taking a dump in the bedroom upstairs, do your videos have to buffer or do they come through without interruption?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

I have the device for 3 days now. While it's a good phone for the price I must say that WiFi performance has been meh.
It's stable for the most part but it switches very, very aggressively between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz when you have a dual band AP with band steering (so that means that the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz have the same SSID).
That is because 5Ghz will always have just a little bit less signal strength in RSSI than 5Ghz and the device decided to switch to the stronger signal of the 2.4Ghz. This drives me CRAZY because I have fkng 5Ghz in every inch of my house.
Also the throughput isn't stable on 5Ghz. It seems like the device goes in some kind of aggressive battery optimized mode instead of giving the full throughput that is available. For example when connecting the link speed might be 433Mbits but without moving the device will drop automatically to 200 or less without reason...
EDIT: contacted Nokia support. They assured me that this was fixed in the 8.1 firmware if the TA-1046. My device is still on 8.0.0 and should receive it today or the comming days
EDIT2: I received the update 2 days ago. WiFi on 5 GHz AP's is fixed. The phone seems also more stable and the weird overheating issues I had at random moments while playing music or streaming a video are fixed.
Only thing I need to test is the SOT as I don't have had the time yet.

Wow nokia support seems top notch! good thing the phone itself doesn't have a notch..
Similar to Pixel XL in my case.
WiFi is a bit more stable than on my old HTC 10. Connects faster and the connection seems to be more stable.
I did some Speedtests: last is at home in a 5 GHz 802.11ac network with a 100/40 connection.
The other two are in eduroam 5 GHz 802.11n.
Nokia 7 plus 2.4G WiFi signal performance of the mobile phone is very poor. In the same environment, I copied the file from FTP. My old mobile phone nexus 6p has 10MB/S, while the Nokia mobile phone has only 4.xMB/S.
5G wifi performance is similar to two mobile phones.
Yep sadly the wifi performance is poor, both the throughout and range are worse than all other phones I've had on the same router.
It is one of the worst aspects of the phone.
My nokia 7 plus not show 5Ghz wifi only 2.4 Ghz show

Wifi 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!
I've been facing the same issue since eternity now, Oreo didn't fix it, LOS or any other custom ROM didn't fix it. For me it's more about the stability than speed I've been facing frequent WiFi disconnection even though my WiFi signal is really strong and this gets worse if Bluetooth is connected. Should I take my phone to the service centre or is there anything I could do to fix it?
