High Ping on Android Device WiFi - 1

To rectify this issue, we will toggle the WiFi using ADB Commands. Doing so via ADB instead of from the Settings menu or Quick Settings tile will force the OS to power down the Wi-Fi chip, unload its drivers, and then reload them from scratch, clearing out any stale states, corrupted configurations, or memory leaks.[Credits for these commands go to XDA Recognized Contributor rodken].

  1. To begin with, download and extract Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC.
  2. Then enable USB Debugging on your device and connect it to PC using a USB.
  3. Now, open Command Prompt inside platform-tools and type in the command: To turn off the WiFi adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.wifi.WifiSettings && adb shell input keyevent 20 && adb shell input keyevent 23 To turn on the WiFi adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.wifi.WifiSettings && adb shell input keyevent 20 && adb shell input keyevent 23
  4. If the aforementioned commands didn’t work out, then you may try the below ones: To turn off WiFi adb shell cmd -w wifi disable-wifi To turn on WiF adb shell cmd -w wifi enable-wifi
