Solved - Odd WiFi issues on P Beta 2 BTS

Discussion

Just wanted to mention I had an odd issues with my Wi-Fi after wiping and flashing the P Beta 2 BTS from Discord (the one with the July 5th future patches lol).

My 5ghz Wi-Fi would start downloading at a few MB/s, then slowly nose dive to around 11KB/s. I tried a few things to no avail, switching to 2.4ghz network, reset Wi-Fi, mobile, and Bluetooth, as well as rebooting.

But luckily, factory resetting the device solved my issue, just wanted to put this out there in case anyone else runs into the same issue I did. I have a Telus model, not sure if that makes a difference or not.

Good to read. What's odd is it appears to be only certain apps so far.

Well spoke too soon, seems all downloads after affected by this. Tried factory reset, issue still there. I have a Sprint unlocked variant. Anyone got any ideas? Already disabled mobile data always active in case it was reverting to that.

No idea, factory reset saved me, but I decided to go to the latest O July release, and have a few issues regarding WiFi all over again. Gonna wait for the new AICP and try that.

I'm having the same symptoms, just with a Sprint unlocked variant. I flashed P Beta 2 at least five times, July Oreo and June Oreo and the slow download speeds are still present for some reason. Kind of just dealing with it for now and hope it becomes a bigger deal for people so answers can start floating around.

Only annoying part is the long restoral at setup. Streaming and browsing seem unaffected. Did a full wipe and reloaded the firmware with no change.

yeah, it's quite annoying. weird thing is I've only noticed the slow speeds when downloading stuff from Google. downloading some of my Magisk modules and SMS backup from Drive have been just painstakingly slow yet I went and downloaded a 700mb zip from elsewhere in like 30 seconds.

Did you try factory resetting the latest P build after it was installed? I know it's a pain in the butt, but that got my download speeds back to normal. Just something odd about this phone, some people have trouble installing the update even OTA I've noticed, or just general trouble with fastboot flashing.

factory resetting through the advanced options in Settings? I tried that after reading this post and nothing changed unfortunately. is your phone still having good speeds after the factory reset?

It was, on P Beta 2, after I had reset through settings, but I jumped onto O July to flash a ROM and the WiFi issues came back. Not sure what's going on exactly.

I even had the slowness issue on June, which was super weird. I had to send my phone all the way back to May O and everything is downloading just fine from Play Store again. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I am only seeing the slow downloads through play store. Downloaded the OTA zip file to the phone just far.

Maybe Google's issue then?

Possibility. Wonder if its an issue with the play store and this build.

It was slow when I downloaded stuff from Drive too

Play store issues for me too. Pain in the a** waiting for downloads after wiping. Was also having an issue with gmail notifications not displaying. The reset at least fixed that.
