Verizon S4: WiFi issues on 4.3

[General Tso]

Constant "connection I'd unstable" and not connecting to my router now. No issues before the update. Anyone else?

I have not seen this, but did you try rebooting your Wifi router? Just unplug it for at least a minute, then plug it back in and wait a minute or two for it to reconnect... just a possible solution.

I had the same thing today but I was pushing the range of my router.

Both my wife and I updated our Samsung Galaxy S4s today and both are having issues with the wifi staying connected. We NEVER had this issue prior to the update. Still searching for a fix. May have to call Verizon or Samsung on this one.

Re: WiFi issues on 4.3

Same here. I've rebooted the router numerous times. I never had an issue before update. Also my old Nexus 7 has 4.3 and no issues. Has to be a Verizon/Samsung issue.

I am also having wifi issues since updating to 4.3. I get the message when turning on my network "Checking the quality of your internet connection." It then fails to connect and the notice is "Network disabled because internet connection is slow."

Factory reset, should be no wipe, will fix this issue (as long as you aren't rooted, if you are rooted its probably Knox and you may have to unroot and maybe even repair via kies/vzw repair

Re: WiFi issues on 4.3

Factory reset won't wipe out my data and apps?

Re: WiFi issues on 4.3

Yes it will. Screw that. This is the kinda stuff I hate about Android. My iPhone never had stuff like this.

Re: WiFi issues on 4.3

I found the fix for my issue with wifi. Settings- Connections-Wi-Fi-Hit Advanced Settings lower left button, uncheck Auto Network Switch

Where are you finding "Advanced Settings" under Wifi? I see options for "Notify me" and "Auto connect" and then a list of detected networks. My home wifi network has been disconnected multiple times since updating to 4.3 on Saturday. Sometimes because it was "unstable" (never saw that before update). I think it is becoming "unstable" when I get out of range (like I leave my house) but when this happens it does not automatically reconnect when I come back within range.

With this issue + this Samsung music app that keeps launching on its own, I am really regretting updating. Should have let others fight through and resolve these issues before jumping into something that was not ready for the general public.

Once you've got the basic WiFi settings open, then press the menu button at the bottom left of the phone and it will give you a menu list where you can open the advanced settings.

Re: WiFi issues on 4.3

I have unchecked the box and still getting the message that my wifi is unstable while the icon wifi bar is maxed and sitting ten feet from the router. I have rebooted the router and still getting the unstable wifi message. This is after updating to 4.3. COM'ON!!

Re: WiFi issues on 4.3

I did the update Saturday as well and I am having the same issues regarding wifi. It doesn't matter if I am sitting right beside the router or if I am outside of the house, it gives me a message saying "connection is unstable". I never had that issue before the update, and now when I am connected to wifi it seems as if it runs much slower than it did before. Like I said I have never had any issues regarding wifi before and my connection has always been strong and a fast speed. I have gone into the advanced wifi settings and unchecked auto network switch and I am still getting a message saying my connection is unstable. This is so frustrating! :'(

I tried all of the above suggestions and factory reset. Same problems.

Re: WiFi issues on 4.3

I have yet to see this issue but I'm wondering what kind of routers you guys are running, what your connection types are (g-n-ac) and what your security settings might be? Wonder if this is something similar to a previous bug that affected certain routers more than others.
