Whenever I am connected to wifi, the phone slows down substantially. When unlocking my phone it takes 2 seconds to register and everything stutters. I have reset my phone and cleared everything yet I still have this problem. Anyone else experiencing the same issue? Know a fix?
Phone has terrible lag when connected to wifi
- Thread starter erickim55
- Start date
Never had this problem and haven't seen anyone else post about this problem. Is the entire phone lagging or is it just the UI, browser or certain apps?
Now all the trolls are going to come out of the wood work complaining they have the same problem when not one has said anything about this issue for the past month.

The phone lags terribly for a couple seconds when you turn on wifi, like when using the power control widget scrolling to another screen is very choppy. Having it not turn off isn't the solution
this happened to me yesterday while trying to wifi download plants vs zombies from amazon. it locked up soo bad I had to pull the battery. Buuuuuut im thinking it was my internet because i was playing MK online as well and my ps3 lost connection at the same time. I hate living in the boonies comcast is garbage

Actually, it IS the solution. The phone has some issue when connecting and obtaining an IP address. If you install a system profiler, you will see that when WiFi is powering up, and when the phone requests an IP from the router, CPU usage goes to 100% on BOTH cores and stay there until the connection is made, then everything settles down.
The reason this "fix" works, is because when your screen goes to sleep, the default behavior is to turn off WiFi, which means when you wake it up, you get that CPU spike again. Setting it to never sleep, means you will only get that spike when the initial connection is made (when you first turn on wifi).
This problem was driving me nuts, but i haven't had an issue since disabling wifi sleep.
The OP I believe is talking about another issue that I experienced recently. For me it starts after the phone has been up for like 2 days or so. Loading a web page is stutterific and slow as well as scrolling, animations. If I turn off Wifi, it works perfectly again on 3G/4G. I think there's a memory leak somewhere or there's some issue that's causing this. I'm going to drop my wifi from 802.11n to 802.11g for a few days to see if that helps. I have my Wifi set to never sleep since the day I bought the phone.
How are you connecting to N? I have a Dual Band router, but my phone can only see the network i have configured for wireless-g, the n network does not show up (it's set to broadcast, etc...) so i can only connect via g to begin with.

BECAUSE I was having the same issue you guys are having and doing that fixed it. Everytime the phone goes into sleep and wakes it will try to reconnect to wifi. Just try it and if it doesn't work for you it doesn't work. But for me, with the same issues, it worked.

That's exactly what happens to me since i use the power control widget to turn on/off wifi. Not a biggie but slightly noticeable...and i do have the wifi sleep policy set to never.
Your not alone.
It's because when certain phones connect the internet, many processes start up and that causes lag on certain phones that have a small or old processors
eg. A quad core phone will not lag, as it has more processors threaded, but a single core will lag as it has only one processor to use and therefore will lag when more processes start up.
If you use a different launcher then you may lag less
Hope this helps
