[Q] wifi issue

ok not sure when it happened but, when i connect with wifi it shows both the 3g and wifi symbols and i cant go to any web sites or download, but i can connect with my router. tryed forgetting the settings and connecting again, same same.
i have rebooted the phone by battery pull and tryed to cycle by airplane. i have also tryed diffrent access points all doing the same thing. 3g and wifi symbols show and will not send receive data. except I can access the router configuration.
any ideas??
thanks

Try either rebooting or reset the 3g by cycling in airplane mode. Sometimes mobile data will freeze on the phone and wont allow wifi to connect.

[Q] Loss of mobile data connectivity - AT&T

It happened 4 times on my Note 3 in the last 10 days. I'm home or at work under wifi. Go out and try to use mobile data and I get an error message that I have no connection. Yet my LTE signal shows 50% and above in signal strength. I tried to turn on airplane mode to turn it off to force my phone to latch onto the closest cell tower and it's still doesn't fix the issue. If it happens while I try to upload some files, I check my email or try to browse the web and it confirms that I have no working connection to the web. I end up rebooting my phone and it fixes the issue. It's as if the phone is still looking for my wifi connection and "forgets" to switch to cellular connection once I leave the building. I know there is a setting under wifi that says to auto switch between wifi and mobile network but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Wifi not working randomly

Hi,
I have a problem that my WiFi network disconnects and disappear from the list. Even if I search for network it will not show up.
It looks like a lot of the other WiFi networks around me is also missing when this is happening.
It will suddenly come back again and work as it should for several hours.
I have i locked to 2,4GHz, WiFi always on, scanning is on.
Had the same problem when I used Auto 2,4GHz/5GHz.
All other devices is working as they should. Have also reset the wireless router. (Netgear X4 R7500)

I have the same problem. When I turn the wifi off, and the back on again it discovers my router and connects.

Does anybody have a fix for this?

Same problem here. My 2,4ghz network sometimes just vanishes and shows up after a couple of minutes. And it just won't connect at all with my 5ghz network. My router is a D-link dir 868l. I'm on the latest firmware. My other devices all connect just fine, except for my 6p.

Updated to 6.0.1 and I have still problems. When I come back home, I need to turn off and on WiFi to reconnect. Wifi have not dropped since i updated to 6.0.1 yesterday.

Just curious
Who is your service provider? My girls 5x is connected to Sprint and she has no problems on my network. I have Tmobile on my 6p and it keeps dropping the wifi. Maybe its a Tmobile thing?

reset network config
I had the same problem and try to go to airplane mode on and off then even forget network and add back on. Work for a second and disconnected. So far this way work. Try this.
Got to Setting > Backup & reset > Network Settings reset
Hopefully this will work for you guys too.
Good luck! :good:

My brother has a Nexus 6p and the WiFi doesn't switch on at all after he updated to 6.0.1. I reflashed factory image of 6.0.1 again and it didn't work. I then flashed 6.0 but it still doesn't switch on. Any help?

Anyone have a solution to this problem? I still have this big active, and have been using mobile data since.

Wifi on Lolipop 5.0 G870A will not connect

For the last week or two I have been unable to connect my phone to wifi networks.
At first the problem would be that I was getting disconnected from any wifi network I joined, now I can't connect at all.
The wifi networks page sometimes (not always) does not detect a strong network even if I am standing a few feet away and the phone has previously connected and other APs are connected and working like my pc
If I try to connect then I get the "Connecting" status followed by "Saved,secured"
I have searched the internet looking for a fix to this and tried wiping the cache partition, forgetting the network, airplane mode toggling on and off, apps that wipe the known network list and some others including lastly a factory reset on the phone but nothing seems to remedy the issue.
From the wifi router I have tried using an unencrypted (open) connection
Now I think I may also be having problems with the bluetooth connecting in the car but I haven't had a chance to really investigate that one yet and it may or may not be related to the last factory reset.
My phone is not rooted.
Build no. LRX21T.G870AUCU2B0F3
kernel3.4.0-4443965

Can anyone offer any assistance to my current issue ?

I have just confirmed that the Bluetooth in my car is not detecting my phone when it scans (the phone bt is switch on and the visible box being checked) so that's both radios with similar issues.

Im having same issue with wifi... sm-g900r4

I just stumbled on a clue, while using an app called 'wifi cleaner' there is a feature allowing you connect to wifi networks within the app. I type in the password, authenticating is shown on the screen followed by "incorrect password".
I know the password to be correct..
Mmm

I was wondering if you ever got this issue fixed?
I thought I had but the problem comes back in a different way.
Sometimes wifi connects but only connects at 5 mbps.
Now wifi will not turn on at all. ( radio button is greyed in settings)
I did find a thread on xda where some Motorola users were having the wifi off issue and it was due to a missing system file which could be replaced on a rooted device. However I don't have root on my s5 g870a and it's not likely I can get it.

WiFi Connectivity issues in Ad based networks

On days, I hav tried to connect to WIFI network of Moscow Metro Stations. I tried it before and everything works. But suddenly I started to have issues while connecting. I can't find out the reason. I tried to reset all, hardware format, restore with factory images nothing works. I contacted to support of the WIFI, they say that there's something in phone that switch to mobile data instead of wifi as for Accessing to wifi, it redirects to page where I need to view some adds. I looked at wifi preferernces and turned off Smart WiFi Switcher. I tried to turn mobile radio off, airplane mod nothing works. What to do to get WiFi work in this situations ?
