Hi guys I have a problem. I'm on the latest firmware of .314 and when I connect to WiFi I notice that it hangs. By hangs I mean I'll be connected but after a while I can't browse as if I'm offline though I'm connected. I'm not sure if it happens anywhere else as I only use WiFi at home and its only started recently. Maybe two weeks ago. My other devices seem fine though I hardly use them.

Many people are having this bug (myself included). The only solution that works for me is an app called wifi fixer. It shows a log regarding your wifi, and tries to fix any issues. The log shows my phone unassociates with the router every so often. That's why my phone shows I'm connected, but I don't have any Internet access. This app detects it, and reassociates with the router thus temporarily fixing the problem. I would assume 4.4.4 will fix this bug entirely though.

I've had this, too. My Z2 is currently gone for repair, because after a few days of this I couldn't even turn on WiFi anymore. Or Bluetooth.

Strangely enough (and perhaps tellingly) the same thing happens on my Xperia SP running CM11 (4.4.4). I've got both WiFi and Bluetooth turned on (because of my SmartBand) and when I try to use the browser, upload seems to be active, but there's no download. The moment I turn off Bluetooth I get data from WiFi...

Not sure if these are connected, but if they are, I doubt the update to 4.4.4 is going to fix it.


(BTW, I'm not an expert, I could be wrong. I certainly hope I am.)

I'm at my cousins house and I'm connected to WiFi without any issues. He has the sky hub. I don't. I have the old router. When I asked a sky advisor I don't know if he was trying to sales talk me or was actually being genuine but he said due to the wireless n compatibility you will have some issues. I've been connected to the WiFi here now for like an hour
