[Q] Constant Wifi dropping on At&T 4.5.141

[matt1097]

After updating to 4.5.141 my Wifi is constantly dropping out. I can be in the same room as the router with full signal and it will still drop out frequently.
It immediately reconnects.

This of course makes my phone go through its battery in about 4-5hrs.

Any ideas what is causing this?

Perhaps wifi is going to sleep when your screen is off. Try changing the sleep policy to never.

My wifi was also affected by the 2.3.6 update. The wifi issue was so bad I just rooted and installed CM7. All is ok now.

Thats not it. There are quite a few reporting wifi issues after the last 2.3.6 update.

I didn't have wifi problems on it but did have a serious lag problem with that build.

I have just recently received the OTA and have the same problem.
AT&T atrix running 4.5.141.en.US, radio is N_01.77.37P.

I have found a workaround: Disable DHCP and enable manual config, type in IP/netmask/gateway/DNS. Then I have faster initial connecting time and stable WIFI. This will only work if you are using WIFI at home/office and know the network details. The stock WIFI settings is too basic to support multiple profiles.

Should i update my Atrix 4g

I have been pressing install latter option for the new update (4.5.141.enUS) on hourly basics ( lol i know sounds hella funny but i have been doing that) So my question is should i succumb to the pressure or let it go and update or i should keep on hitting the latter button ???
I really havent had any problems with my Atrix ( its is in immaculate condition ...knocks on wood) its running everything stock out of the box. I have been getting decent battery performance too. the only issue i ever have is that it reboots when i connect to my lap dock but happens rarely.

Please... expert advise will be appreciated.
thanks
Ron

i had more problems with 4.5.141 than on 4.5.91, the latter seeming to be more stable for me. i'm on AOKPCB now and would definitely recommend that over any blur based rom, but if you don't want to keep pressing later you can freeze the OTA app in TiBu or use a root explorer to rename it to .bak, etc.

there is an issue in 4.5.141 update and you can Solve it from the router , just change Lease Time in your router to 2 day or less and the problem will be solved !! it is crazy solution But believe me, is the right solution

I have the same problem with the Atrix on 4.5.141. Some people said that is hardware problem, but i don't think so. I have tried to connect with wifi, and the phone sees no wifi. I changed my sim card with the same carrier, and it worked for about 2 mins! I don't get it.
I'm sure my router is fine, don't need to set dhcp.

I'm trying to install CM7 to solve the problem, (unlocked the bootloader first) but it is stucked at a screen 'Unlocked'.
Someone said the wifi will works with CM7.
Anyone, idea?

wifi works perfect on cm7, cm9 and miui but not stock 2.3.6 any version rom i install it drops all the time.
some say to add its mac address in the router but I am not only using this at my house its everywhere.
So any idea of a fix? Maybe a certain kernal can help

 

[jetbruceli]

Wow I don't know what the issue is! Tried multiple stock roms with no luck. Keeping mine on cm7 rc3. It has to be something in the stock roms making the wifi cut out like that

Set your wifi sleep behavior to never

Hi! So I have this friend who relies on me for every tini-tiny technical thing, and she's having issues with her atrix 4g, I've personally never dealt with with phone except whenever a new OTA came out which I always helped her install (as if it was hard, but for her it is) I own an SGS2 and I love AOKP and AOSP ROMs but I know she cannot deal with a change that big from MotoBlur which she's used to.

Is there anyway to solve the wi-fi issue caused by the last update 4.91 or something like this, im trying to get .141 but I cant because of the wifi issue.

Id like to keep it as stock as possible, maybe a modded stock rom? Ive searched the thread (maybe not as well as Ive wanted because I dont know anything about atrix)

I have wifi to never sleep, and all the other suggestions but still nothing

FXR WiFi Helped

"FXR WiFi" from PlayStore helped with my wifi issue (constant connect/disconnect) occured after update ROM to cm7.2.
"WiFi fixer" did not help
I did not try "Fix My WiFi"
