I've got a fairly new (~1mo) Droid MAXX that's pretty stock (Android 4.4.4, unrooted). It's been having some serious WiFi problems lately, similar but not quite identical to any I could find described in these forums.
The phone will, upon restart, usually successfully connect to wireless networks. But after a short time, the connection will drop, and at this point it's usually impossible to get the phone to re-connect.
At this point, I can see several full-strength networks that I'm authorized to connect to (I'm on a university campus) but I can't connect to any of them. When I tap on one of the networks, the phone appears to try to connect, the displayed signal strength drops to "Poor" (1/4) and the attempt to connect fails. After this, the network shows up in the list as "Disabled". Sometimes one of the networks is listed as "Saved", but the attempt to connect goes no better.
I've tried booting in Safe Mode, and the problem persists. I've even disabled "Avoid poor connections", but still the problem persists.
I am on a university campus, so I can't control the configuration of any of the wireless networks. But I know that it's something with the MAXX, as I didn't have any similar dropping problems when connected to any of the networks on my old phone.
Does this seem like a hardware or software issue? If the latter, any tips on how to fix it?
