Lumia 950 :: Keeps Losing WiFi Connection
Feb 9, 2016
So I bought myself a 950 last Thursday and from the beginning I've noticed some problems with the WiFi connectivity. Turning it off and leaving it on 4G would cure all the problems described below.
At first I thought it may have been due to the vast amount of updating apps but after all of that was done (struggled with various errors there too, though).
Now here is what's been happening ever since. When I pick up the phone to do some browsing, it's usually fine at first, but a minute later it would seem that the phone loses the WiFi connection. Edge would say this: [URL] ....
Windows Central app says this every time I open it (even though the newest articles are loaded): [URL] ....
The Store is the worst. It says it's "Acquiring License" for a minute and only then it starts downloading the app which stops usually right away or half way through. Only on rare occasions does it fully download the app. [URL] ....
By the way, I am on Build 10586.29 (not part of the Insider program).

I have had my Iphone 5 for around 16 months and the internet connection; whether it be by WIFI or 3G has always worked perfectly; until now.I know it can't be my router at home, as I have the same problem if I'm at work and it also affects the 3G.
My phone will have full WIFI signal but will stop connecting to any websites or give me internet access. If I turn the phone OFF and then ON again, it fixes the problem for around 15mins or so, and then revert back to the same problem of not connecting.I have tried resetting the network settings and reset to factory settings, but neither do any good.
Info:
Windows Vista

Is anyone else having a problem with their Lumia 822 losing it's data connection? My phone loses it's data connection at least once a day. The only way I have found to get it back, is to turn the phone off and back on, which is a pain. It seems to happen a lot at night, but has happened a couple of times during the day. It can be hours before I notice that nothing is coming in or updating.

I've been using my MacBook Pros, iPads, and iPhones for years with no WiFi issues. Now suddenly, every time I return home with my iPhone, my WiFi connection is lost on ALL of my devices — even the MacBook Pro and iPad, which both remain at home.
So every time I return home, I have to shut everything off, unplug my Airport Express, unplug my modem, plug them both back in, and restart my three devices.

This happens periodically. I can't connect to Internet even if LTE is displayed on my signal bar.

I've been using the Lumia 710 for the whole day. I leave Wifi and Data connection on.
It's been connected to 2 wifi points at work and home and has only been connected to 3g twice, for 30 minutes each time. I haven't even been heavily accessing apps.
In that time my data allowance has fallen from 83mb to 56. I can't understand why this would be so high. 27mb used in a day when I've been connected to Wifi points for most of the day... When I have the same sim card (network: three) in my iPhone 4, the equivalent usage is on average less than <3mb when I haven't been actively using the phone
I personally don't think that I should have to turn off data connection because Nokia doesn't know how to prioritise wifi over my data connection. I have a limited allowance, and having to switch data connection on/off all the time is annoying, for something other phones get right.
If I'm connected to a Wifi point, my 3g data connection should NEVER be used...

My new Lumia 950xl keeps dropping my wifi connection. I have numerous devices on the same wifi network, including an iPad and none of them have the same issues.

Whenever i go to download something, I always get a message asking if i should wait for a wifi connection before downloading...
Problem is, the phone is already connected to a wifi connection, so why is it asking me if i want to wait? Am i missing something? or is this normal?

The internet connection on my 1020 is extremely slow when WIFI is connected (every other device I own is fine and can easily clear 30 meg download, 5 meg up.) When I use search, the phone screen times out and shuts off before returning any results (times out after 1 minute). I have reset the phone this morning to start over but the problem remains. The speed is perfect using Data and WIFI off, but once WIFI is enabled, the internet comes to a near halt.

I use software like Connectify and Virtual Router to make my laptop a wifi hotspot. It used to work fine with my phone, but recently it stopped. I am able to successfully connect, but after a few seconds or minutes it disconnects and tries to authenticate again and gets an authentication error. Then I have to restart my phone's wifi to work again. I can browse the web and do everything normally, but it somehow disconnects after few seconds. I haven't used this in a while so I don't remember if I had upgraded the phone to android 4 last time I used this. I've read something about making my phone have a static IP, but there isn't such option.

I am trying to re-install the firmware (v40.0.005) on my 5800 xm using ovi suite 2.1.1.1. but i keep getting the message 'INTERNAL your device could not be detected'.I have uninstalled pc and cable connectivity, along with ovi suite several times and then re-installed them but to no avail. I have also tried to re-install the firmware with and without the memory card but to the same end. Is this a problem with ovi suite, my device or my computer?

My iPhone 6 is about three weeks old and it keeps losing its data signal. I'm on AT&T and have good coverage throughout my area (never an issue with my 4s). The result is that when I'm off of wifi I periodically can't use Siri/internet/visual voicemail. It comes back if I completely restart my phone. This started happening a few days ago sporadically but I'm losing the data connection multiple times a day now.What's going on?

Does anyone have a weird issue of data dropping completely during the call? When I place a call the 3g icon disappears completely and nothing that requires data works until I hung up. Once I hang up the 3g service is restored pretty much instantly. Also the top of the phone where earpiece is gets very hot during the call. I called apple and they told me to come to the store and get a replacement. I just wanted to confirm if this problem is widespread as I will be getting the replacement from the same store. I guess it might be relevant - I am using a bumper case.
My girlfriend's phone (bought through vodafone rather than apple store) doesn't have this issue.
On another issue (or non-issue) I also noticed that my front camera is a lot less saturated that hers for some reason. When I place a facetime call and hold both phones together, the colors are very different . Hers is slightly over saturated and mine doesn't have any vibrancy to colors at all. Not sure what to make of it but there might be different sensors on iPhones (I remember reading somewhere that there is not enough production of 5mp sensors at any single factory)

It used to work fIne. Apps like Pandora, iTunes, and even Nike Training Club used to mirror fine to my Apple TV until recently. This problem persisted before and after I upgraded to ios 5.1. I lose AirPlay after just a few seconds of play. Is this something that can be resolved? Do I need to get my devices replaced?

I have an iPhone 5. It keeps losing internet connection. t does this whether I am using WiFi or 4G/LTE. Any app that uses internet connection will not load, connect, or update. I reset it the first time it did it, and my connection came back. It did it again, and now even resetting is not working. FYI...I did update to 7.1.1 about 2 weeks ago. This just started yesterday. What good is an iPhone with no internet connection..

My partner recently accidentally tried to update to ios 5.1 out of wifi and it has crashed her phone (stuck on apple logo). We have been trying for 3 days to restore her iphone 4S through itunes 10.6 (Windows). However, the download always times out and we lose DSL connection for a minute or so. I have also tried to d/l 5.0.1 and 5.0 from websites offering direct links to appldnld.apple.com and the same thing happens everytime. Usually at about 9%. I lose internet my ADLS2+ connection every single time I try to download any apple software through itunes or via direct links through multiple browsers.

I have a Microcell in my office. The 3G and EDGE signal is -100 or worse, so there's no conflict there. The wifi signal in my office is low, ~-80db, and often disconnects/reconnects. Every once in a while my Atrix (stock gingerbread) loses the microcell connection completely and continues to have no network connection. The wifi connection stays connected though. I have to enable and then disable airplane mode to get the connection back up.

So after upgrading OTA to 2.3.6 and performing a factory reset on my Atrix 4G, I've noticed that stock google talk app loses connection with the server after a few minutes while the phone is asleep. As soon as I wake up the phone, The network status icon is gray and within 30 seconds or so, the phone reconnects with the google servers and the icon turns blue again.
I've never had this issue before while on 2.2 and 2.3.4. I've made sure the app is always open and background data is enabled. Also my battery mode is set to performance mode so it should sync all day.

Over the past week, or so, I have been experiencing intermittent losses of data and phone service. This issue has been magnified over the past few days. Initially, I thought it was a result of an early season snowstorm, that more or less, crippled my state (Connecticut), and since I am a power utility engineer, as you can imagine, I have been on the phone quite a bit. As we moved closer to full electric restoration, I am seeing that this isn't an issue brought on by inclement weather, but by a software/hardware glitch.

Has anyone talked to a rep at least and told that they are looking into it? Would be smart to just come out with a generic statement. "we are aware of the connection problems some users are having when hold the exterior of the phone and are working on a solution" would be nice to hear.

I have a Galaxy S6 (64G) from AT&T. I've been having problems receiving Whatsapp notifications when the screen is turned off for a while. I measured that it takes about 10-15 minutes after the screen is turned Off using the web interface for whatsapp. I have enabled notifications to always allow pop ups in the appI checked that restrict background data is not enabled for WhatsppI have set Whatsapp notifications as priority under App notificationsChecked to make sure that So not disturb is set to OFF.
After the connection is dropped I see all the missed messages and notifications showing up only after opening the app. This has been very annoying and I've been unable to respond to important messages in a timely manner if the phone has been idle for a while.

Since Verizon had their 4g issues the other day I have noticed that i keep losing my data connection. I can still make phone calls but can't get on line. I will watch as my data connection goes from 4g to 3g to nothing as i am standing in the same spotI am just wondering if anyone else is having the same issue? I have used about 10 gigs this month but i don't think i am getting throttled ( if Verizon even does that).
