Wifi disabled on LG Xcharge
My wifi keeps disabling. Cricket store said they have had several complaints about the same issue. They reset my network settings. I clicked forget on my home wifi and reentered the password. Wifi works for a couple of minutes and disables again. Already had my provider swap out my modem and router. I saw on the xfinity board while researching this that they are having the same problem with the LG xcharge. Just bought mine about 4 months ago. Bought 4 of them/family members. 2 are having the problem so far. Need help?

Re: Wifi disabled on LG Xcharge
Ooh! I know the answer to this one! It's the Cricket Wi-Fi Manager. It's being overly aggressive in monitoring signal strength of the wi-fi connection, and switching to LTE at the drop of a hat. Just disable the Cricket Wi-Fi Manager in your wireless network settings, and that MIGHT solve your problem as it did for me, unless you're having other issues than I am...

Re: Wifi disabled on LG Xcharge
I have been dealing with this issue for the last 4 plus months. I have had 7 phones under the warranty and Cricket as well as Lg are telling me there is no other issue on this phone that they know of. They will keep trading phones but i get less than a week before it happens again. I am so pissed that this issue could have been fixed and i would not have to have gone through this. Is there a fix for sure ???

Re: Wifi disabled on LG Xcharge
I've been having this issue as well. Only been a Cricket customer for a week, and this has been super frustrating!! The other 3 lines on the account (different types of phones) have not had issues. I went in and disabled the Cricket WiFi Manager like suggested.....and so far I've been able to keep my connection for 15 mins......with no issues **knock on wood**! Thank you for your post and advice, hopefully this fixes my issue and eases my frustrations!!

Re: Wifi disabled on LG Xcharge
No help from Cricket Wireless on this. LG-M327 phone on Cricket Wireless doesn't stay connected to any wifi. It disables after 10-15 minutes.
Mobile Networks>Mobile data-enabled over cell network. International data roaming-Off. Disable 2G-enabled. Access Point Names-set back to default
Has been doing this since I got it in June 2018. Got 2 replacement phones and still have same issue. Updated to Andoid 7.0 kernel 3.18.31 build nrd90u in October- no change.
Any suggestions welcome.

Re: Wifi disabled on LG Xcharge
I too just bought an LG X charge brand new from a cricket location near me. 2 days after buying it i realized it was disabling my wifi and using my data at home, I tried everything to get it fixed including calling cricket and spending a hour doing everything the customer service representative suggested. After nothing worked they told me ti contact LG for a replacement. Keep in mind i only had my phone 2 days, they could have sent me back to the store that i bought it from and could have been replaced with in 7 days. But they mysteriously never made that suggestion. Anyway long story short, disable the cricket WiFi manager and now the problem is fixed! Thank to the person in this group who suggested it!

cell phone plans to fit any lifestyle, so you can choose a cell phone plan that's just
right. Here are some advantages of switching to Cricket Wireless.
Top Reasons to Choose Cricket
- No annual contract for cell phone service - Cricket's prepaid phones aren't tied to an annual contract, so you have freedom to change your service at any time
- Unlimited talk & text - No need to worry about going over your minutes, talk and text to your heart's content

How to Pick a Cell Phone Service
1. Review your most recent cell phone bill
Look for opportunities to save. In particular, take note of:
How much you're paying per line - Do you have a multi-line cell phone plan? What kind of discount are you getting? Could you save more by switching? Cricket's family and group plan offers a discount for each extra line up to the fifth line - so you could get 5 lines with 2 GB of high-speed data each for as little as $130/mo - as long as all 5 lines are on the $40/mo plan. Discounts apply to lines 2-5.
How much data you use - Do you burn through all of your high-speed data too soon? Do you always have lots of data to spare? Ideally, you don't want to get too little or too much. Cricket has a variety of cell phone plans to fit any lifestyle, so you can choose a cell phone plan that's just right.
Any surprise taxes or fees (which can really add up) - With Cricket, taxes are included in your bill, so you know exactly what to expect. For a list of our current fees, view our Charges & Fees page.
2. Decide how satisfied you are with your current cell phone
"Bring Your Own Phone" BYOP - If you want to keep your phone, bring it to Cricket - just make sure it's unlocked and compatible with our network.
Get a brand new smartphone - Had your eye on one of the hottest new phones? Just need an inexpensive device that does the job? We've got a variety of prepaid smartphones, many with great incentives when you switch to Cricket.
3. Consider any issues you've faced with service you had in the past
Have you had a lot of dropped calls or slow speeds? With Cricket, you'll enjoy extensive 4G LTE coverage nationwide.
Are you fed up with contracts? There's no annual contract with Cricket's prepaid plans.
Want great service? Providing outstanding customer care is a top priority at Cricket, which is why we make it easy for you to reach us via chat or on the phone. If you prefer to get answers quickly and easily, view our online support.
