i exchange my phone to another z3 due to a gap between the screen and the frame. There was a signal in the store, but when i got home there si no network signal, only wifi. i turn it off and on, then 4g signal appears but blinking. then suddenly an "x" appears on the bar. i have a signal on my 1st xperia z3!
check wifi calling settings
WiFi calling is probably set to WiFi preffered, meaning it disables your data connection since you have WiFi.
i will look into that. thanks guys
Check APN as well.

If anyone here uses wifi, does your 3g stay connected while wifi is on? I know when wifi is on, the phone will use it for data. I mean up in the notification bar does it show the wifi icon, and the 3g icon for anyone here? Also in settings when you go to about phone then to status, under "Mobile network state" does it still say "connected" when you have 3g on.
The reason why I ask this is because since I've had my Fascinate, when wifi is on, "mobile network state" is disconnected, and I only have the wifi icon in the notification bar at the top. However as of 10 mins ago when I put wifi on, the 3g icon is still on up at the top, and under status "mobile network state" is staying connected.
The WiFi icon should replace the 3G icon.

It normally does, but for today it didn't. Even in settings when wifi was on, it still said my mobile network was connected. I eventually turned wifi off, then back on, and it went back to just being the wifi icon at the top and mobile network disconnected in settings. I'm just wondering if this is some underlying issue i've been having with my signal strength affecting this.
I'm guessing WIFI was on but you weren't connected to any networks. I've had that happen a couple times.

No, I was connected to my house router and 3g was still on. I did a speed test to make sure I was on wifi.
Well it doesn't really lose connectivity to the network. It's still connected but the wifi symbol on the top is grey and I can't go anywhere on the internet until I disable/re-enable wifi for it to reconnect. Also it doesn't happen for immediate sleep/wake, it takes a while.
I've had my Nexus for about a week now and noticed two strange issues with the WIFI connection.
1. I can connect to WIFI successfully at home but as soon as I go out and it switches to the 2G network and then later go back inside the WIFI doesn't auto connect it will stay on 2G, I have to disable and enable WIFI to connect to my home WIFI, is there a way round this or is it a bug?
2. Whenever I'm out an about and the phone detects a WIFI network even if its not configured to connect to the WIFI network the phone seems to disable 2G Data connection and continually notifies me of a WIFI network being in range and wanting to configure it, is there anyway of disabling this behavior and allowing the 2G Data connection to be active when no configured WIFI network are in range?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Really can't help you much on the settings as I don't quite have my N4 but you should always turn wifi off when you're not using it. You will get much better battery and you wont have problem with #2. Sorry I couldn't really help much.

I have the same issue number 1. I find the battery is getting used quickly and the wifi will not connect. if i disable then enable, it quickly connects to the known wifi signal. I can see a different battery decay slope if I let this problem persist for a few hours, it then reverts to its usual slope once wifi is restarted. This problem usually only occurs once a day on average. I hope someone knows how to solve this issue.

When I check "Settings-->Network" the Wifi section says "Connection Available". However, it won't automatically change to wifi from my 3G service. For example, if I leave home my phone switches to 3G, but when I return home it stays on 3G. I had no problems with this on KitKat.
I've tried rebooting my phone, forgetting my connection, playing around with some of the "Advanced wifi settings", but nothing seems to help.
I'm not absolutely sure, but I think my phone DOES automatically switch to the free wifi hotspots provided by my cell company. Could there be a setting my router that may help?
Today I myself exchanged the screen in my Motorola, when I folded the phone and turned it on it turned out that the Wi-Fi range has dropped and the download speed is also weak. The phone does not automatically connect to the Wi-Fi network, you only need to connect to the Wi Fi menu, it worked great before replacing the Wi Fi screen, now even on the router there is no 100% coverage, or the error lies in the possibility of an unconnected antenna? Please help:crying:
