Verizon Note 2 Slow Wifi - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Sorry if this has been talked about in the past but trying to find a true fix... if available. My wifi has gone haywire over the past week. I have flashed a few different roms and the same thru and thru.. My 4g is way more reliable than my wifi. I thought maybe it was my router so I reset that and modem at home.. no change. I am currently running Trents Alliance Rom with stock kernel which btw is an amazing rom... thanks devs. Its 4.1.2. Hoping someone has an answer. Thanks in advance.

Alliance Rom wifi has always worked flawlessly for me. Here's what I would try:
1.Download a wifi scanner from the market place and do a channel search and see how many other routers are using the same channels. Also, are you using any other wifi devices in close proximity of your router? I.e. 2.4 ghz wireless keyboard or mouse?
2. Routers do produce heat...if they are in cool well conditioned areas they usually last a long time. If they are kept in highly elevated areas in not so cool conditions, the life span will decrease considerably.

Ty. No wireless mice or keyboards close at all. This is everywhere I go and use wireless including optimum wifi hotspots or friends routers etc. Signal is strong but just very slow. Was downloading from market last night full signal wifi and took 5 minutes for a 8mb app. Flipped off wifi to 4g and bang instant.... my router isnt in a hot area whatsoever. I read online there were some known issues with wifi on note 4.1.2 but cant find a solid answer besides flashing a 4.1.1 gt7100 file but saw many had bigger issues after that. So kinda at a loss. Thanks for the input. Ill try ur 1st idea this evening and go from there.

Are you using the latest firmware for your router?
Edit: I just saw the "it happens on other networks routers too...I'm really stumped on this one. The only other thing it could be is the phone...or, what case are you using? Have you tried to connect ect with no case or nothing surrounding the phone?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Premium HD app

Its funny u mentioned the router firmware. . I came home and updated it. We will see what happens. I googled it and again it seems that many are having an issue. I never experienced the issues in the past. Idk what it could be.
I am using UAG case and its the same case I have had for a long time.

Same problem - Very slow downloading/uploading using wifi
I see you posted your question back in October 2013. I've had the galaxy note 2 on Verizon for over a year and since the last Samsung update my phone on Wifi is extremely slow opening most applications, downloading pictures/videos from any application and uploading pics and videos also. Not sure why because on my phone states my wifi download speed is 65mbps. I've cleared all cache, even the cache partition, and turned off power saving mode with no luck at fixing this problem. Has anyone, considering how old this thread is, figured out how to actually correct this problem?

[FIX] Possible Faster 3G Speeds - YMMV

Seems some Photons are finding a 3G Speed increase by a simple adjustment of settings...
I have tested this, and found it to work for me...however, NOT everyone is reporting a similar experience. So, give it a shot...and report your findings here for analysis. (My guess for the reasoning in different experiences would relate to tower proximity, etc)
The "Fix" is simple...
1. Head to "Wireless & Networks" in Settings Menu.
2. Go to "Mobile Networks"
3. Change "Network Mode" from "Any CDMA" to "Automatic"
4. Reboot
5. Test!!

Went from ~.9 Mb/s to ~1.7 Mb/s down and ~.3 Mb/s to ~.7 Mb/s up. What I'm wondering is if it's using GSM networks now instead of CDMA and if it'll cause excessive roaming issues.

No, I don't believe it's using GSM...or roaming. I'm not positive, but I plan on calling Sprint come Monday and asking what the feature does. There is NO warning prompt indicating that you will be roaming...so I doubt they could force roaming charges on anyone.
Just gave it a try. 1.84Mbps for 3G before and after but 4G dropped fro, 4.53 down to just 0.55 in Automatic. Returning to "Any CDMA" brought it back up.
I did this fix and it did work, but I have found that in my area, due to population, that my speeds can barely break 600k, but when I ran out to a few other remote locals I was pulling 1.6m+. So this clearly works and I love the speeds in the remote area, but the area I live and work in really suck.

nope its still cdma, just grabbing the strongest signal instead of focusing on a Sprint signal. Should not effect you roaming charges at all
I noticed another positive side effect of this. Way faster connecting speed. It would take forever to even start loading a page on any cdma and now it starts instantly.

You Guys Might want to Try Removing the Sprint Proxys. My coworker was unable to stream pandora, and had a general overall slowness of web browsing. We did the following.
1. Get MSL Code
2. Dial ##data# in the phone
3. Go into mulitmedia
4. We upped the buffer to 10
5. Set the ports to 0
6. Set the addresses to 0.0.0.0
Rebooted and all his streaming issues were resolved adn market and web seemed to load faster (he has been struggling with streaming issues for over a week)
ok so could this be too good to be true?
seems like there must be some downside.. are we more likely to drop connections if we're constantly hopping networks?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA Premium App
Hmmm... didnt work for me. First two download passes were 1.1m them 900k. Changed the setting to automatic and got 172k and 200k. I'll set back to any CDMA and try again in the morning at work.
Thx
The first method doubled my speeds and gave me 25% of the ping.
removing proxys solved my shoutcast radio streaming problem
Thanks for the tip. Increased from 1.3mbps/384kbps to 1.8-1.9mbps/600-800kbps
Will try the MLS trick next

I need help with my WiFi(constant droputs)

Router: Netgear Wndr3400

The image below is of a scan I did in WiFi analyzer. Scan frequency of 1 second.
As you can see its very frustrating. And its not like I have a poor signal.
I have searched everywhere and tried many things. (Turning WiFi performance on, messing with the channels)
No dice.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Good luck, and let us know what you find.
No, no this has to deal with the roms we download. I was on Cm7 and it constantly dropped when i was on my phone surfing the web. Switched to nightley 150+ #build and it did not drop on me. I recently Switched to MIUI and it has started to drop on me, this is frustrating when you need to download a rom.
My only guess is it has to deal with the roms we download. Before anyone says anything no, my wifi is on a NO SLEEP policy, it not likes to drop the wifi while im surfing the web.

It's not the rom. I had the same problem with my EVO3d before and after rooting and trying multiple roms. I tried a different router and haven't had a single problem. It is clearly and issue between the router and the phone. Now I just need to figure out why they don't get along. Ive heard about switching channels but haven't had a chance yet.

Ya, your right its not the rom. I tried switching channels from auto to the one i needed but it didn't help and then i went back to auto and it worked well for a bit. Now it isn't working well.
Notes + im on a HTC Increíble. My router cost me 139$, ive never had a problem vía wifi nor on ethernet. This is strictly something on these roms, trust me ive looked into this alot. The only conclusion is that..
If you think about, did your signal drop with your stock rom? Not mine.. Until i Switched to Cm7 i randomly have connection issues? Lol

You keep mentioning cm7. I'm assuming u do not have an evo3d correct? And my stock phone straight out of the box and after rooting and flashing a custom rom had the same problem with one of my routers. It works just fine with other routers. Also the signal doesnt fade or drop like with my og EVO, it simply disconnects then reconnects 30 seconds later.
Edit: just realized you said u have an incredible. Also no other phone or device, including my old EVO, has had this problem. There must be a setting within my router that isn't playing nice because it is the only router my EVO3d has a problem with.

On my OG evo the only time i had problem with wifi was on cm7 but that was just weak signal. Nothing like this. If you like at my pic in the first post it is scanning every second. so its not like its disconnecting for 30 seconds. Which is weird because it says im connected the whole time.

Hmm, that's odd I am having the same problem but only its not my router.
But yeah, I'm usually on for 30 minutes to an hour and it drops for 20-30 seconds. Disrupting my downloads, I have heard there is a program for I think what you need axe. You said it's refreshing every second? If I'm right I remember seeing you could change your refresh rate somewhere to save battery life too.
So we have the same problem but different issues.
Hmm...
Edit------ My old router was terrible and did not want to cooperate with any of these devices I use. So I bought a 139$ Router and works perfect.

naw the refresh rate i was talking about was just how frequent it scanned the signal strength in wifi analyzer.

ya.
Just some more info on my problem.
When i run a speed test the ping is very quick (~50ms)
But once the download test starts it just dies. It freezes on a number then goes to "network communication issues"
Hmm, yeah it might be a router problem for you guys.
When I do that it finishes, I'm just having wifi issues.
Mine occur only in certain roms as stated above, with miui and cm7. Nightley though worked, I didn't have any drops. I'm thinking about switching to a sense 3.0 here soon to see how it stands up.

Router
I've had similar issues with stock and custom ROM's on my old Hero. I started having similar problems with my 3VO, so the first thing I did was reset the wireless settings on my router to default and then redo the SSID, change the channel and power setting, and of course - change the password.
I haven't had a problem ever since.
I had the problem on my Stock ROM. Actually it only showed up when connecting to my N router, but did not happen when connecting to my G router. However my issue I had to turn off the radio and then back on before it would reconnect. I downloaded something called WiFi fixer. This fixed my issues completely. Hmmm, might have to play with some different kernels and turn off the fixer and see what happens.
Check router firmware netgear.com/support. They have WiFi issues on 3700 maybe yours too

[Q] Bad WiFi Performance?

I just got my S3 today and it has been great so far save for one issue. I seem to be experiencing really bad WiFi performance. I ran a speed test using the speedtest.net app on my iPhone 4 and got around 8 megabits per second down. However, when I ran the same test on my S3, I got about 1 megabit per second down consistently between numerous tests.
I don't have this issue while using LTE, which makes me think that it is a problem with the WiFi antenna. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
Thanks
Mine runs perfect on both 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands through wifi.
Getting 30Mbits down and 22Mbits up.
does this happen on when connected to any wifi? or just particular one?
Make sure your phone is not on Power Save mode.

Same issue with wifi. I also notice a difference every time as well if I single handly hold the phone back case mid section or higher. Bars go from 4 to 2 or 1. Then back to 4 if I move my hand and palm below the buttons.

I posted this in another wifi complaint thread. I don't know if anyone has tried.
I had this problem on my Captivate. It was not very obvious, because the disconnects were so brief. I discovered while working with some Tasker WiFi settings.
The fix was to set my phone to use static addresses. You can use WiFi Static in order to achieve static addresses only where you want. I am using this on my S3, so I don't know if I would have problems without it.
I'd be curious to know if this helps anyone.
My wifi keeps disconnecting and it's driving me crazy anyone have a solution?
Not at all. In fact, when I ran tests against my iPhone 4S my Galaxy S3 on WiFi got faster data speeds every time.
Wifi problem went away for me. Although I know for a fact it's not as fast as it should be.. I'm going to double check my router to make sure

First time poster here.
I've tinkered quite a bit to figure out the wifi issue. I'm currently running stock with goodies.
On the router side my 2.4ghz and 5ghz settings are similar and look like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
On the phone side I use a home screen widget called Wifi status widget to monitor my throughput. I get about 65 megs a second on 100% signal. On 80% I can get as low as 13 megs a second.
Limit your band to to 2.4 ghz or 5ghz.
Select best wifi performance.
Use rim toolbox as a build.prop editor. Make a backup of your current build prop and add this line to the end.
net.tcp.buffersize.wifi = 4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960
It increases the tcp stack memory which helps throughput from what I can tell.
Good luck.

Anyway.. I posted a poll to see if anyone will participate while I try both the PMEM and ION versions (and procrastinate on homework).
Stole this from the main thread:

Don't procrastinate ! It's like when you do, next day is pop quiz on last night homework. I'm telling you, teachers have some sort of psychic ability to tell when your procrastinating. They're watching usssss lol.

Hey Neo,
Anyway we can get Paranoidroid's Halo baked into this ROM like the Nexus 4 guys are doing here?
Neo is a national treasure.

Looking into it today
btw, PMEM here.
Tried ION then PMEM (clean flashed both) and here's what I noticed: dialer FC'ed (read the forum and noticed that this was fixed ) but the worst part was the inability to turn it back on from sleep after a few times and maybe it's me but the battery life is just AWFUL. I went to a class and it went from 40% to 5% by the end of 3 hours. Oh and the frequent random boots are quite obnoxious. I will say ION seemed noticeably faster and I would run it saying there's more overall stability. I won't give up yet I know you can iron out the bugs. Keep up the good work!
Sounds like you may not have been on the included kernel. It's not nearly as unstable as you've described and my phone has been on it for days now without a single random reboot or bsod.

Hmm I'll reflash the kernel and see what happens. Oh and could you put up MD5 sums when you have the chance? Thanks

PMEM versions always seem to be more stable for me.

You're absolutely correct and it probably the safer route; however, ION is much more stable then you think and can be incredibly responsive. Just make sure you wipe everything x5 and you'll be alright. Also, I replaced the kernel with the Funky Kernel by snuzzo. Its much more stable and it definitely worth trying.

BSOD? What is this? Windows? If I wanted a BSOD, I'd go get a WinMo phone :x

In this case it's black and not blue
WiFi Tether on Rez Tachyon
@Neo
WiFi tether in the system menu says "Error" when I try to enable it.
I tried Barnacle WiFi Tether, and it says "Waiting until Wi-Fi is disabled"
I cannot disable or enable WiFi---it's simply grayed out. Perhaps I should try a reinstall of 1.1? I confirmed that I have that rev.
Thanks again for the great ROMs!
(Woulda posted to tachyon thread but for being a NooB---I did do the admonished search for answers...)
This Rom does great on my rez. Neo always provides excellent stuff

@Neo -- Thanks for uploading 1.1.5. I installed it and my WiFi and Tether still do not work. They worked fine on 1.1. I wiped system, cache, dalvik, and data before installing. I did not reflash boot.img since I was on 1.1 before. WiFi and tether worked great on 1.1. Perhaps I should move back to 1.1? I'm suprised that I have not seen other posts on this issue.
Any thoughts?
Something wrong must have happened for you. The kernel hasn't changed

Definitely a good stable build. Wait til you see alchemy though it'll blow you away. I had it clocked to 1728 and its still running with 50%. Its as stable as tachyon, but carries the customization of pacman. The best of both worlds
