Google account sync issues on mobile data - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hey, sometimes when I'm outside of the house, and try to use something like YouTube in a place with low reception, it just halts, loading very slowly and won't let me view any videos. However, after this, my Google account will fail to sync. Even after going to a place with better reception, it will fail to sync. And this happens to all the accounts on my s4 that I have set to sync. The only way to get sync to run again is to connect to a wifi network. I've tried clearing app data, enabling and disabling network data, and restarting my device, but nothing works until I'd have connected to a wifi network. Any suggestions or ideas?

I had similar problems. I even had 4-5 bars and phone said no data. I did hard reset and restore all my apps and info.. So fare ( 3 weeks) so good... On MK2.

Phone keeps dropping out of wifi

Hey Guys, this issue has been bugging me for quiet some time:
I have been using the Soft Access Point function of windows 7 via my wlan card for a long time and it didn't really give me any problems until recently.
It goes like this:
I activate the network, my phone connects. So far so good. But it keeps dropping out and reconnecting to mobile network all the time. That happened with other devices like my Netbook as well, but never this frequent and only when I wasn't actively using the connection. When I got the nexus 4 it started happening more often. And in the recent days/weeks very frequent. Sometimes only minutes after connecting. Also when the connection is in use, even during VoIP calls.
But I'm not sure whether it's a problem with the phone or the network setup... Any ideas?
Oh yeah, I'm running unrooted stock and the PC is Win 7 ultimate x64

I forgot to mention: To fix it, I have to disable and then enable the network again. It always shows as still active on the PC but doesn't show on the phone before I do so.

My Wifi will not work, not sure as to why. It shows that I'm connected but can't surf or use xda. I tried rebooting my router and still nothing. Anyone else having trouble?

My friend had this problem, but his just randomly started working the next day. Others have also said try factory resetting your router, uninstall any newly installed apps/mods, or if your router has, "Wireless Intelligent Stream Handling", to disable it.

Thanks for the pointers, I'll give it a shot when I get home. Hopefully mine will just start working like your friends.

Wifi/Data connection issues

Data connection doesn't automatically turn on after disconnecting my device from wifi. All I am doing is to flip the airplane mode to connect back. I believe this isn't normal
Stock Rom/device.

Checked with Samsung support and they suggest me to try with a different service provider (3g). My current provider says the existing settings seems to correct. Still I lose data connectivity often
I am yet to test with a different sim.

Galaxy s4 4.2.2 connects to wifi, but doesn't use internet??? HELP

Hi all
My friend has a galaxy s4 and it will connect to his WiFi network, but when he goes to like, for example, go onto the web browser, it will say he is not connected to the net!
Its not our internet that is the problem either! Because other devices connect and use wifi.
Thanks

Try forgetting the wi fi network on the phone, then reconnect to it, re-enter the password and see if that helps.

Hi,
My friend has already tried that.
His problem is very strange
It will connect to Google on the web browser.
But if he opens Facebook it will not connect to the internet

Can't connect to wandering Wi-Fi hotspot

I can connect to my Wi-Fi at home without issue, but I can't login to the Wi-Fi at work.
When I connect to the Wi-Fi at work, it automatically opens the login page. I'm supposed to click login (no password) and on the next page, click continue. I should have Wi-Fi access after clicking continue, but on my Galaxy Note 3, the browser just keeps loading until it gives a timeout error. I have tried this on both the stock browser and Google Chrome. I have tried reconnecting Wi-Fi, restarting my phone....
It works fine on my Skyrocket....

I sometimes get this on the T-Mobile hotspots on the train. But only when I still have a previously used login page open in another tab/browser.
Do you have that, by any chance?

I end tasked all the browsers and cleared the ram. Is the login page something.wanderingwifi.com? I wonder if it's just the Wi-Fi hardware.

Tried logging in with Firefox. Same problem. Is this that rare or are people just not logging in to hotspots?

Same problem with my wife's Galaxy S4. I guess we're the only ones.
