Why does my wi-fi not work after the update?

Major WiFi and mobile network connection issues since the latest update. Unable to load data in most apps on WiFi. This is on all WiFi networks I connect too. Not just mine at home. Unable to load things on Facebook, Pandora buffers after every song to the point that I have to kill the app and restart it, Google play music won't load and voice mail isn't working. Being that we no longer get unlimited data with Verizon and I am pretty much forced to use mobile data now I am not happy. Especially when that won't even load things correctly. I have tried turning mobile data and WiFi off and on, restarting my phone, removing my sim card and putting it back in. Nothing will work. Does anyone know of a fix for this issue?

I realized I had power saving mode on when this started happening. Once I turned power saving mode off and tested again, no more error code and able to access the voicemail from my cell

Having a working WiFI connection is important, Mwheeler204. I appreciate you testing this issue with multiple WiFI networks. What device do you have? Are any errors experienced?

I have a galaxy s6 Edge. I'm not getting any specific error codes.

Mwheeler204,

I use the WiFi on my phone as my main data source, so I totally understand how this is impacting you. Let's gather some additional information so we can get your phone working the way it should. Since this started happening after the phone's software was updated, we'd like to try wiping the cached data. This does not erase any of your personal data from the phone. The steps are listed here http://vz.to/1WhHe50 in the "Clear All Cached Data" section.

Once done, test out your Wifi connection to see if you notice an improvement. Keep us posted.

This did not fix my issue. I did find one error code for one of the problems. My voicemail isn't working and I'm getting an error code 9007 for that.

I am having the exact same issues; however, with my Note 5. I was not on WiFi when the voicemail stopped working and I already tried the clearing cache. I only started getting error code 9007 after I cleared the cache. And the batter drain is awful as well. Also note I have power saving mode on.

Basically, I can hardly utilize my phone for it's main purposes.

I was also having Wifi issues after the update and had commented on a discussion on here a few days ago. Someone on the discussion mentioned a bug being the power saver mode and to turn it off. I did that last Thursday and have not had a problem since. My battery does drain, but I have chargers in my car and at work for that.

Having the same issues as everyone else - throughout the community it appears this is a common complaint. They wanted me to wipe out my phone and reload - that is not acceptable. Have spent several hours on the phone w/ tech. Verizon can not even access the phone remotely. Very sad for what we pay and these all being relatively new. I hope they get a fix released very soon. Visual Voicemail chooses when it will work.

mamajessica is correct!! the fix is to turn off battery saver. This will fix your problem

It worked! Thank you. Let's hope it continues....and why didn't the 4 agents at Verizon know about this.

Now, my email may start syncing again. My facebook app says it's not connected most of the time....so hopefully this was the trick.

It helped my Facebook app when I did it last week! It has worked great since I have turned mine off and it's been a little over a week.

They made it sound like I was the only one. So happy this isn't the case. Good deal! Appreciate the help. :smileyhappy:
