I am consistently having one problem with my 8525. Whenever I try to connect to the wifi at my university, the phone freezes. I have to remove the battery and reboot it to fix it. I don't have problems with any other wireless networks. I am confused and I have no idea how to fix the problem. Anyone have any idea what's going on?
The phone is probably waiting for some packet of data from the university that either isn't arriving or is very slow to arrive.
After a minute or two it should time out and the phone should work again.

I don't know what is going on specifically but I need to confirm whether this is a cell tower issue or a device issue.
Before replacing my 8525 to another one, the 8525 had no issue connecting at work GPRS/UMTS (well G, at least). I would use AIM throughout the day and have no issues whatsover. Now when I got the new device, after having it at work for one day (and working) the past few days, the connection would say it's connecting but then disconnects, then tries to connect again and then disconnects. It just keeps doing that till it finally tells me, Error in connecting (dismiss or hide). If I hide/dismiss it, a few minutes later, it goes through the same routine.
I thought it was the device at first (which it still could be) but I decided to go to lunch and BAM, it connected without any issue.
Another wierd anamoly would be where I would tether the phone to my laptop. After a while, the device would say that it got disconnected that it can't dial to the modem, however, my laptop would still be connected without any interruption?
HUH?
Is there anything on the device that needs to be configured correctly?
Same here
I get the same problem up in a small town in WI. I beleive it to be a connection issue with that tower, as I don't have any problems in IL or around larger cities.

Yes, after going through 3 cing reps, finally someone who knows how to utilize the system and find out that there is an issue in the area regarding data transfers. After raising the issue with them and the cing rep figuring what was going on, he raised it to the proper people and had it fixed within a few hours.
I'm on T mobile with a dhd and my phone keeps losing the data connection.
I have to reboot to initialise it again. If I switch to wifi thats fine, but 3G data keeps dropping out. It can't be the network as the reboot seems to sort it. Sim works fine in other phones. Have you got this problem too?
I'm also getting the reboot problem and the dialer crashes too everyday preventing me from making a call. Otherwise a really good phone!
yep, I am having the same problem on my sim, wierd, I had never had this problem. It started today when i turned my data connection (mobile internet connection) on and did not turn it off, usually I turn mobile network (for internet ) on and then off after some use.
I will try to do same for 2-3 days, lets see what happens. Anybody else having same problem. any solutions ?
Ran into some weird issues this weekend with my wifi connection with my focus.
The phone would randomly disconnect from my home network (strong signal, secured) and connect to an open network with weak signal. I would find this out as I would try to do something that required data and it would just hang and do nothing, I would have to go into settings and disconnect from the open network, reconnect to mine.
Frustrating that there was no way to force it to use our home network or to forget the other network and it stay forgotten.
Anyone had any similar issues. It was just this one day it did it, but was incredibly frustrating. I'm still within my 30 days, so if this is going to be an ongoing issue, I might should reurn the thing for something else.
Hello
Sometimes when i have wifi and data enabled at the same time, my internet connection stops working.
But if i disable wifi or data i will get my connection back. Even just cycling wifi make it work for some time again.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Or does anyone have a solution?
I have been reading around and think it may have something to do with Internet Sharing and Interop-unlock.
i had the exact same problem, but worse. i had to switch to airplane mode and back to get internet working. and it was a very frequent and annoying problem.
for me updating to 8107 over zune was the solution. no more connection issues.
(internet sharing however i do not have anymore - but as you said, it could be related to this -so screw it i don't share my internet if it crashes mine )
This is a very common fault (there are several threads on the topic.)
Call Samsung support and ask them to get of their asses and fix the problem. I called and they said that they had no other report on that same problem..
Have the same problem, but I have to restart my phone for it to start working again. *__*
Hi all, as noted in subject, occasionally I am connected to WiFi but I get no active connection (nothing comes in or goes out). The only way I remedy this is disabling/enabling WiFi and as this is a small annoyance, any reason this happens? I have an RT-66U router as well, if it matters.
Thanks and happy holidays.
Nobody?
Hi
could you solve it already?
if not, switch location settings to GPS ONLY.
good luck

Yeah I'm having the same problem except even when disabling/enabling wifi, I can't get a reliable active connection. It's only when I turn on airplane mode and off and reconnect. Then will I get a reliable internet connection. I'm not sure what's going on. The strangest thing is this problem occurred over time. First month, no problem. 2nd months, occasionally. now, into the 3rd, it's on a daily basis. My previous Verizon Note 2 also had this issue but then seemingly disappeared, only to rear it's ugly head a few months down the road.
Here's a post on reddit with others having the same issue: http://www.reddit.com/r/galaxynote4/comments/2ks0ap/note_4_wifi_issue/
Not sure if a custom rom would solve it. For now I'm just using my 4G connection as I have the unlimited plan.
turn smart switch off and see if it helps. does it get an ip address ?
Have you rebooted the router? Unplug it, wait a few seconds, then plug it in again. My router does this every now and then.
Also try rebooting your phone.
If neither one of those work, then you can try factory resetting your phone as a last resort. After that, if it's still not working then either your phone or router is busted.
