Lenovo P780 Wifi Issues - Lenovo P780

Does anybody have the same issue as my device. The wifi signal seems to drop considerably when device is a little further from router?

Yes.... Same goes here.

Seems a general/design fault with the P780. I have watched videos from users on YouTube.

I also experience problems with my WiFi connection
It seems to be connected all the time, but when I use the browser or google play store or any other kind of software that uses wifi connection, it takes quite some time to get going. At first it seems to get stuck but if you wait for like 10 seconds or so, it starts working.
The phone is the chinese version. I successfully flashed a ROW rom with the additional fix for the modem.
Im not quite sure if it a hardware or software issue
Any thoughts and solutions?

Its probably too late now i think is a overflashing problem i have done, phone originally came with a ROW rom S119 pre-rooted but i have flashed all the Roms both ROW & CN, i only have issues with Vibe & LiFE, i have not touched modems yet, would i be write in thinking my base has not changed, I am going to stick with ROW S123 OTA, when i get it on

The phone showed the same behaviour out of the box, without even thinking about changing the ROM.
However, the seller claims that he changed the ROM to a chinese one with gapps included.

Did you set Keep WLAN on during sleep to "Never"? By default it is set to "Smart" mode.

Yes I did. The problem doesn't appear after the screen turns off. It may as well appear randomly while browsing

In response to my previously mentioned problem, it seems that its more of a software bug than a hardware one.
I did some tests, connecting to both an open network and a WPA protected one. It seems that the phone's connection to this type of networks is strong and constant. I've concluded that it must be some kind of lenovo's software related bug, a bug in android's OS or both.
Eduroam is a type of WPA Enterprise protected international network. The most known feature of it is the use of certificates, which are not needed in open or traditional WPA protected networks.
So the question is: what's the root of the issue?

Info for you guys, I don't experience such problems on my phone with stock or now with SLX rom, maybe a warranty check? (I have chinese version).

Loss of WiFi connectivity

I bought a Samsung Galaxy S III while on vacation. I didn't really want a US model, since I already had a Galaxy S II and the only compelling reason I would upgrade was for the quad core Exynos.
Well here I am back States-side, and it's been working fine for a week or two. Last night I suddenly lost the ability to connect to WiFi networks.
Basically I can search for a connection, it will show up and say it's "Saved," but it will not connect, even if I manually choose the option. If I choose "Forget" and reconnect, it will connect briefly for a few seconds and promptly disconnect again.
I've tried the usual steps of rebooting, checking my network, etc. I've gone as far as reflashing the firmware which doesn't seem to fix my issue.
I have several other devices and none of those have issues connecting to my wireless network. I've tried a couple different AP products, including an Apple Airport Extreme, a Linksys WRT-600N, and a bunch of really old APs with a different chipset manufacturers, none which seem to work.
For OS, it's currently on Android 4.0.4 with the stock Samsung TouchWiz interface, no carrier customization.
Since returning/warranty for this device is out of the question, I am looking for a possible solution to my issue. I am not a big Android user. I used to be big on Symbian, and now I'm mainly an iPhone user. I have an Android phone to keep up with the times, so to speak. Is it possible I'm missing something? Could I have changed a setting that would cause my wireless issues?
Thanks!
(Tried searching this topic, didn't turn anything up)
I'm having the same problem too. Everything connects except for the S3. If I reboot the router it works for a day or so then the problem re occurs.
If you get disconnected meaning there's interference in the frequency range, you could change the channel so it doesn't overlap with your neighbors' or your other APs, remember any AP operating on the same channel or nearby channels in range is likely to cause signal to interfere with another AP's wifi signal.

I had similar problem. A factory reset fixed it.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I tried another factory reset and I'm still experiencing this issue. I'm a bit bummed out at the moment. I can't connect to other networks either. At least I have cellular data to work with for the time being, but I expect I'll get throttled sooner or later.

I don't think it's an interference issue.
Like I said, none of the other devices have connectivity issues. I haven't really changed my wireless setup for the last 10 years. Always the same channels (with difference channels for each overlapping AP—channels 1, 6, and 11). My cordless phones all use DECT which runs on 1.9GHz and I usually have Bluetooth off when at home. As for neighbors, the distance between our homes are far enough I am never really in range of their networks.
If enabled, turn off power saving
same problem as yours. i've replaced the kernel and still testing.
I have this problem, i think it's hardware problem, just updated the f/w hasn't made it better.
Try adding your wifi manually and select correct security protocol....it resolved an issue like this on my iphone4s.

it doesn't work for the SGS3, it's a known problem, i've checked a few sgs3 and some have this problem including mine, i'm changing my unit tmr.
Has there been any temp fix for this? I've been noticing this a lot more when using WhatsApp, usually you can see the last time your contact has been on, but it only shows if there is a current connection to the internet. When I'm connected to the wireless, it'll show up but after a while, I assume the wireless loses connectivity (sort of) and it won't show the last time they were on. The thing is though, I'm able to get to any pages like normal, so it doesn't actually lose connection.
Why don't you flash a better rom~~
S3 wlan bug
Paranoid Android wlan bug
Hello all together
I need flash PA v2.1 on my SGS 3 !
I have problems with the Galaxy S3 and WLAN simply gets no connection together!
I've already tried all possible steps like Stockrom flash with Odin to the bootloader from the Android 4.0.4 to get! Because it means that even if wifi is broken, you should flash back to flash and then stockrom Paranoid! Wifi can not connect!
I count times on what I've already done everything without success:
ICS 4.0.4 STOCK
wipe data
wipe chache
wipe Dalvik
Permission fix
Flash paranoidandroid
flash gapps jb
flash hw compressor
Wlan ist broken
Then I created a backup of it.
Have again flashed back to stock 4.0.4 ics because I had suspected at the bootloader.
Ics 4.0.4 on it again as everything was wiped and the backup recorded. Again the bow
Then cm 9 installed as described
there is also the wlan bug
from CM9 paranoidandroid
still wifi bug
then back to stock and on CM10
end result
wlan goes
paranoid then flashed wireless bug
then of stock on CM9 on from there and CM10 on paranoidandroid wlanbug
from CM10 by backup still wifi bug.
I just do not know how to fixxen it.
Would appreciate your help very
fix permission reboot
've Tried all sorts of variations but always without success

[FIXED] Wifi connected but no traffic

Hi Guys,
i have a problem.
Since a couple of days, the wifi connection on my i9100 does not work anymore. I tried multiple roms but to no avail.
The thing is that the wifi connection is established, but nothing works.
I tried different roms, router resets (but the problem occurs on any wifi connection).
Any ideas?

may be its a problem with your device karnel version. try to use stoke karnel, i had this problem once. then i flashed stock karnel using odin. then solved
Thanks for the reply, i tried it and i am now running stock. BUT the problem still persists.
This could not be a hardware problem could it? since the wifi is connected?

Ive had this happen to both my my Note 2 and my SGS2 LTE before that. With the Note 2, No matter what rom/stock firmware i flashed it never got better and I ended up selling it at a loss, but the SGS2 was made better when I flashed to stock then reflashed a Cm 4.2.2 rom. Maybe try that?

I just tried it with an CM 4.4.2 rom, that did not fix the problem. i will try to flash a 4.2.2 rom next.

Given what you've already tried, flash the 3 part firmware from Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in the General section. If you can get WiFi working on that, then reflash a more recent stock rom. If it's still working, then reflash whatever custom rom.
Might not work, but worth a shot given the 3 part will wipe your phone & might get rid of anything funky that might be causing this (don't forget to back stuff up before you flash it).
That it happens with every WiFi network you try to use is a worry though, and probably points either to something really simple we're all missing here, or a hardware issue.

I will try that when i get back from work. But i've been thinking, how is it possible that it is a hardware issue? i mean the phone still connects, something hardware related can not be partially broke right?
You'd think not (that it wouldn't be a hardware issue), but you've tried pretty much everything you can on the soft/firmware side, and it obviously isn't something on the WiFi network side unless all the WiFi networks you've tried & failed to get data flow to/from have this problem.
One thought I did have since my last post...I can't remember whether it's possible to do this on the S2 (it is on the S3/S4) as it's been months since I've even looked at mine; if you delete a WiFi connection in settings, then when you re-add it, are you able to choose between DHCP & static for IP address (might be in advanced settings if you check the box) ? If you're able to do this, choose a static IP address (I use 192.168.1.168 on my S4) rather than DHCP & see how that goes.
If that's not possible or it doesn't work, then try flashing the 3 part. Make sure you test once you've flashed it without restoring anything or installing any apps first to rule in/out something on the app side of things causing the problem.
THe 3part Odin flash did also not work. Is there a last resort solution, or is this it. Should I accept that my phone is broken

pheraps there is a problem with your modem version. Try to flash an other modem using recovery.
isnt that what i did in the 3 step flash from hopper8?
No, it's not. There's a big difference between flashing a 3 part rom & just simply flashing a modem. However...
It won't work anyway because WiFi has nothing to do with the modem (WiFi drivers are in the kernel).
Did you try what I suggested with removing the connection in phone WiFi settings & re-adding it with a static IP (presuming this is even possible on the S2) ?
If you did & it didn't work, or it isn't possible after all, take it to a service centre or local mobile repair shop.
or just buy a new phone as i did. I will keep you posted if the static ip worked.

Holy &^#(*^ that worked! a static IP worked. How is that possible?!
The short answer ? Magic
The long/non-tech answer; the connection between the phone/router is basically dropped & constantly re-established over & over & over (we're talking about once a second or less; basically looping like that) which means you've never got a stable connection long enough to get any data flow with a DHCP allocated IP.
There's threads on here somewhere that explain it better/explain 'the why' if you're interested enough to search for them; sorry, I don't have bookmarks handy & it's 5.30am here so I'm going to bed.
Important thing is, problem solved

100% thanks, i've looked around on the forum and see now that you've helped multiple people solve this problem. That is great.
[FIX]
For the people that read this thread, fix the problem by applying a static IP for their WIFI and think "but what about all the public accespoints that do not allow static IPs?? Will i never be able to use them anymore?"
Don't worry
The problem is not so much the fact that the phone suddenly needs a static IP on certain WIFI accespoints, but that it needs an assigned DNS. Through some "magical" "unexplainable" reason some of our phones suddenly go broke in a weird way that everything works, but no DNS is assigned on specific WIFI spots (mostly WPA2 protected).
Solution:
Set a fixed DNS for all WIFI connections
Google Play has multiple apps that will apply a fixed DNS.
[edit] after this debacle i bought a second hand i9300. The first couple of days, it worked perfectly but soon it started to display similar behaviour as my i9100. That is when i started to look for other possible solutions for the problem. I soon found out that the Ip adress that was handed out by my router was off. it was 192.168.2.xxx instead of 192.168.1.xxx as is setup in my router settings. That is why entering a static IP solved the problem for my i9300. After restoring my router to factory settings everything is normal. My router is a Tp-link wr740N with DDWRT flashed on it. Maybe this information will also help other users
Good job digging up the DNS info, hopefully this helps people in future/they don't spend days pulling their hair out trying to fix this issue

[Q] Annoying WLAN warning

Hi all,
Does anyone came across this warning when connecting to wifi network:
"There are some problems with internet connection, please check current WLAN network or connect to other WLAN network"
This message comes up every time I'm switching to wireless network.
Seems like there are no settings options to get rid of it. Maybe somebody knows how to disable it?
Never seent his error message before. Does it work with all Wifi connections or just your own wirelesss router.

This happens while connecting to any wifi network - public, home, office.
Tried to run search for this message inside system apk's, but had no results. Is there any other method to find what populates this message?
Just noticed you are using what looks like a custom ROM. Is this the case? Have you tried a stock ROM?

Hi all. For me also same problem. It all started after the latest KitKat upgrade by Lenovo itself. This message stays on top of any current operation interfering it unless you get rid of it by using the return key, only then you could get access to the running application. It really get one bugged. Hope someone could have a solution.

There you go then, previous poster also has the same issue so it looks like it's KitKat specific. Are you running the latest Kitkat?
I downgraded back to JB because the first release of stock KitKat was too buggy but the later KitKat updates fix a lot of problems so try the OTA updates first.
Wifi not working, white blinking all the time
Please any help,
My phone suddenly disconnected from office wifi. I am using p780 4gb. when the problem came, i was using latest update kitkat. then after downgrade to JB s115 in lenovo centre. wlan still cant work. when i try to switch on then by itself switch off again. I left it in lenovo centre and they said it should be machine replacement. i was ok but when the cost was mentioned it's surprised me coz the cost almost reached the price of new phone. Does anyone know how to solve this issue with cheaper cost?
Many thanks in advance.

WIFI Connected but no internet. Please help! I Have tried everything!

Hi Everyone!
If this is in the wrong place I apologise,
I have been using the AOSP ROM (http://en.miui.com/thread-502828-1-1.html)
Everything was fine using the March version of the ROM but I installed the 20/5/2017 version and i started (every now and then) getting my WIFI saying connected but no internet... I then cannot use my browser, apps that need WIFI etc until i reboot my phone then works ok again for a while.
They then released an update 21st and also one after that 23rd. I have tried both the updates and i still get the error, I have done a clean install both times and wiped the cashes. I have also tried this .>> http://www.techsiddhi.com/2014/05/how-to-resolve-connected-to-wifi-but-no.html
i have tried to change to static IP on my device but wont allow me to save changes i am out of ideas and really dont know what to do, I dont think its an issue with the ROM but maybe my router, i just dont know...
I appreciate any help you guys could give!
Many thanks

Which router do you have ?
I had issues with Wi-Fi on a bt home hub (previous to this phone though) which had similar symptoms.
I got around it by tweaking the settings in the hub (disabled band steering, so that 2.4ghz and 5ghz have different ssid's. Also set 2.4 to be"mode 3")
A long shot, that you have the same router, I know.

Thanks very much for the info George I really appreciate the effort you have put into finding the information for me, I was no a fan of the Chinese ROM that came with the phone that's why i looked into installing a custom ROM and apart from the current issue I am very happy with it.
I have downloaded the Global ROM and Magisk films so that if I cannot find a solution soon I can give it a try.... I always get nervous when rooting/flashing new software as I always worry about boot loops etc as i am fairly new to all this.

Thanks very much for getting back to me I really appreciate it! I definitely think were on the right track, my router is a SKY Fibre router but I can't say I understand what you are talking about lol... I have been into the router settings and had a look, one think i have noticed is even tho I have changed my ROM 3 times, starting from scratch each time it is still allocated the same ip address etc.. (192.168.1.6) so it seems to be carrying the problem over each time.
I have tried rebooting the router, phone several times I did try and follow steps to change to a static IP from my modify network on my phone but would not allow me to save the changes..
I did read that I should try and go into developer options and enable "Use legacy DHCP client) I did this after flashing the latest version of the AOSP ROM (23/5/2017) so far its been ok but i'm not sure if it will last. I just don't understand what the problem is??
Thanks again guys for all your help and I hope I can get to the bottom of it!

Did you upgrade it or do a clean flash? Try a clean flash if you didn't. I am using the latest build of the same ROM, no problems at all.

Each of the 3 time I have done a full wipe and cleared all cashes etc....
Also, you are not restoring Amplify settings from the download page? Are you able to connect to other routers?
The router is assigning you the same up address each time because your Mac address isn't being changed when you flash new Rom (Mac address is unique 12 digit number, hard coded into the radio on your phone. It should stay the same. You can change it temporarily by spoofing. Do not pay attention to this though, it is for info only, just so you know what's happening )
Your router recognises the Mac address of the phone and issues it the same ip address that's been given before, by dhcp.

Well I was wrong. I just tried this app and it doesn't seem to work with our device.
I said in my post, I was explaining, just for info.
It'll likely be some erroneous setting in his sky router. Sky are well known for issuing appalling hardware with their connections(and forcing customers to use them by refusing to give adsl login details, so people can use their own supplied hardware)
Another poster asked if op has the same issue using other routers - I'll bet that it's just with this one router.

When I flash a clean install of the ROM I use titanium backup to restore all my apps and data (including Amplify) Do you think this could be an issue??

Thanks for trying for me :good:
I said in my post, I was explaining, just for info.
It'll likely be some erroneous setting in his sky router. Sky are well known for issuing appalling hardware with their connections(and forcing customers to use them by refusing to give adsl login details, so people can use their own supplied hardware)
Another poster asked if op has the same issue using other routers - I'll bet that it's just with this one router.

Thanks for the info! I appreciate your help Do you think there is anything I can do? I can log into my SKY router but not sure what I can change, I have not tried to log into any other wifi yet, I can get internet absolutely fine on my SKY router. What happens is after a couple of hours or so I notice I am not getting any internet on my phone and I have an exclamation mark on my WIFI Symbol, so I turn it off and on, reboot etc.. and it comes right for a while then happens again so its intermittent.. Like i said above so far its been ok using legacy DCHP in developer options but im not 100% convinced as yet..
i am not sure if this helps any but you know when you first flash your rom and android starts for the first time and you go through the welcome screen, choose language etc.. I notice when i select my WIFI and enter my password it briefly (slit second) shows "Connected No internet" but then does the usual obtaining IP address etc....
An alternative would be Pry-Fi. Idk maybe Matt can try it and see if it helps.

I don;t know anyone with fibre, who has SKY as their ISP.
If you like, I can have a look at your router settings, via teamviewer on your computer.
PM me if you want me to have a look
Well still having the issues!
I have clean flashed MIUI Global ROM and still have the issue, I have now put AOSP ROM Back on as its sooooo much better than MIUI as I can safely say its nothing to do with the phone itself and seems to be a router/phone settings issue but i still dont really know what to do..
Over the last week or so I have noticed workmen looking at out local green fibre box and wondering if it is an issue with the line so I might give SKY a ring and see whats the issue.

Thanks very much for offering to help i really appreciate it and may just take you up on that, I will give SKY a ring first and see if they have any ideas?
Ill keep you all posted!

Just to give you guys a bit of an update...
I have just got of the phone with SKY now and they have asked me to change the channel from auto to channel 13 and also to select WPA/WPA2-PSK.
As i was on the phone to them my phone did the "connected no internet" thing and i used my laptop to make the changes to the router and after a few seconds my phone connected again so I am hoping that this may have fixed the issue! Fingers crossed!
Still doing it! So I have installed EPIC ROM and my router has given a different ip address so fingers crossed it wont do it anymore, been a few hours and so far so good...
totally late to this, but i'm facing the same problem on my redmi y2. the router that i'm using is TP Link archer C50. no custom rom or anything. please help
li faced a similar problem as my phone won't detect wifi signal from my router, i reset my phone but only after 15 minutes my phone can't detect signal from my router but problem solved when i switched aeroplane mode on and than off as soon as i switched it off wifi signal was detected and my phone got connected to it. Sometimes it shows no internet i switch aeroplane mode on & than off and it starts to work again or it gets fixed automatically too. You can try too it may help.

Losing mobile data connection randomly on MIUI 11 EU Android 10

So i have a clean flashed EU ROM and i randomly lose mobile data connection (4G) for a few seconds and it then comes back. I don't lose the mobile network, but the 4G data sign just vanishes and then comes back again in a flash. This is really annoying especially while playing online games where 1 sec of internet disconnection is the difference between a win and a loss.
I'm on MIUI 11 EU ANDROID 10.

I am using Miui 11.0.4.0, my mobile data totally stop working yesterday. There is 3G, 4G and even Edge signal but no internet. Wipe cache/dalvik and change kernel doesn't work. Ended up I reinstall 11.0.4.0 and it works back again

I too dirty flashed the ROM again and it worked without any problems for sometime and then out of nowhere it started to do this again. I hope it doesn't affect you as well but it looks like it most probably will. :crying:
Might be this will be helpful. What I noticed in Stock Miui 11.0.4 when the wifi calling is ON then I noticed call drops. So I have turned off the wifi calling and using the VOLTE only and everything is fine. I think wifi calling technology is not yet stable enough to use. We need to wait for some more. So you may try this thing. Turn off wifi Calling and set data roaming to always and see if it fix the problem.

I did that on the first boot but to no Vail. Currently I downloaded the latest vendor from akhilnarang's website to see if it is a vendor problem. Everything I tried before has done nothing.

Are you on EU version like me or the stock global ?
I received the update last week on stock rom in EU. Since then severe problems with mobile data, it only works in cities where 4G+ is available. 4G, 3G and E don't work at all or only rarely.
Does someone have a solution to that? BTW also my camera is broken since the update. After every picture it says "processing HDR+" forever (even showing a notification for that that never disappears). My proximity sensor also has some problems... Never change a running system I guess.

There doesn't seem to be any fix (none that I know of until now). Till now I tried reflashing the ROM, installing the akhilnarang vendor and now I'm testing LTE band locking using network signal guru.
It might just be a placebo effect, but I think flashing the vendor somewhat reduced the problems with mobile data. You should give it a try and give feedback here.
Is it possible to downgrade again by a dirty flash?

I wouldn't recommend dirty flashing Android 9 ROMs over 10. Yo should clean flash.

Well great now I noticed I cannot even connect my phone to the computer, because it says "failed to get information from usb device" in the device manager. Tried installing and uninstallting several ADB drivers and the MI Pc Suite but nothing fixes the problem. Guess I can throw the phone out of the window now.
BTW: Is there no ****ing official website with usb drivers? All I get are websites like "xiaomidriverdownload.com" or "androidusbdrivers.com" or "flashxiaomi.com" wtf is this.

Check the "bootloader unlock" thread. It has links to all the drivers/ utilities you'll need

And one question, do you use any VPN ?
Disable "Xiaomi Framework Service"
Same issue for me on a Xiaomi Mi9 Lite with xiaomi.eu rom.
After lots of workarounds tried I finally discovered the cause : "Xiaomi Service Framework".
It's a system app that resets mobile data connection when it detects or thinks there's no internet connection.
I use an intranet apn to connect to my company network, so my phone is not connected to internet when the apn is active and it was really annoying to have those data connection drops.
As I'm not using any Xiaomi Service (mi cloud and others) and my phone is rooted, the solution for me was to disable the app and problem solved!
Good luck

İ suppose its very similar to your case. İts getting very frustrating
Have you by any chance got any workaround ?
