This morning i found that my 3G connection was gone. It wasn't my operator, because when I restarted the SGS I got back connection.
Anyone else experienced the same?

If I turn off APN to use exclusively Wifi connection then I need to reboot the phone to return back to 3G connection.
We just got a t-mobile no-contract tablet. Randomly while trying to browse via wifi, the t-mobile prepaid screen pops up and we can no longer use the browser.
Anyone else experiencing this and have ideas how to stop it from happening? Is there a way to permanently disable the t-mobile network connection? (we are always connecting via a wifi tether and are not using the tmobile service).
Thanks
Here's a thought...call tmobile...I know what an original idea

Is your tab in airplane mode while you use wifi?

Probably a silly question, but when you say "wifi tether" it sounds like you are tethering to another phone, so are you doing this or are you connecting to a "fixed" WiFi access point? (e.g. your home DSL/cable connection).

Either... Sometimes we are tethering to an access point on our phone, other times it is the wifi at the airport.
No we are not in airplane mode.
Hold the power button in for a few seconds, then choose airplane mode. Then in settings, enable wifi.
From the wireless settings you can uncheck packet data.
Niall, here's one for you Samsung masters, updated to mango, via zoom. Used the force method by disconnecting WiFi. My problem is now I no longer can use my mobile data connection. On edge or 3g. Only hspda, which is a bit crap as most of the time I have a 3g connection. Anyone else had this problem? Thanks

Hmm.. There is a reg hack to show a 3G data toggle in Settings which you could do and then disable 3G data that way. It is in the Samsung Tools app I think.

Cheers for the help man, but disabling 3g connection won't help as 2g data connection doesn't work either. Phones just keeps sayinglost mobile data connection. Truly stumped on this one! Cheers again though

Are you connected to wifi have notice even with mine that when wifi is on it keeps trying to seek a wifi connection and would not go through the 3G even if it could not get the connection turned off wifi then it was working fine again, but was having some other issues so I went ahead and did what I stated in another post and got the update the regular and have had no problems.

Hey guys, I just got my nexus 4 yesterday and am having some problems with the data. I can connect to my wi-fi no problem but if I I try and connect to the the 3g-hspa network it won't connect. I can text and call with no problems and am with Fido. I am just wondering if anyone has a solution to this problem or has encountered something similar.
Thanks
Did you call your network? You might have to add in some apn stuff or something. Take it to a fido shop.

APN settings most likely. What network are you on? And what are your APN settings?

I'm experiencing the same issue on Telus: when switching from wifi to a mobile network, the mobile network does not connect properly. Phone calls and texts work fine, but no data. My APN settings should be good: they auto populated, and are identical to the settings in my Galaxy Nexus which worked fine.
Toggling airplane mode on and off acts as a work around for now, letting it properly connect when the cell connection reestablishes. Which also points to I not being APN related.

a buddy of mine on straight talk had a similar problem. i had him delete the proxy and port.that fixed him up.
Verizon S7edge just got an update to deal with wifi problems. Haven't seen a thread here lately, is everyone doing OK with theirs? My wifi will randomly disconnect from my tried and true wireless router.

I have noticed in and out WiFi over the last few days.
T-Mobile here and seems to be fine.
Wi-Fi for my wife and me has been pretty spotty too. Just been sticking to cellular data for the time being.
Wifi data also seems slow.

WiFi for me is very slow. On my Nexus 7 2013 I get 80-90mbps but on my S7e I get 20-30mbps on the same WiFi and same server. I've tried everything and nothing fixes it.
I had the same problem but found something in the forums that said creating a new APN but using IPv4 instead of IPv6. My wifi went from 15mbps to 86mbps. Hopefully, it's legit and I keep getting these speeds.

Do you happen to have the specific link or the settings handy?
I don't remember where I found it but copy everything from your existing APN settings and set a new one up exactly the same way but use IPv4 instead of where it says IPv6. Everything else stays the same.
Thus far, my speeds have been consistently much faster.

Ok, so, I've got.... (for those who dont know where to look or what to set)...

I'll try it out tomorrow and hopefully it fares better.
Yeah WiFi is iffy for me too. I thought I was the only one.

Nope you're not the only one. My wifi turns itself off periodically after the update. Really annoying, and still happens even after a factory reset.
Just an fyi, the apn only affects mobile data, not wifi.
Just a thought, is there a way to specify which band the wi-fi is using? 2.4GHz vs 5GHz
Hey guys,
I've been having a nightmare with this. I'm on T-Mobile, and my S7 Edge is smooth, but when connected to my Netgear C6300 modem/router through Time Warner Cable no Google Services work. Youtube, Gmail, Play Store, Google Maps, etc.
I've scoured the forums and the only thing that works is the following:
1. Turn off WiFi, go to Play Store and download DNSet.
2. After it installs, turn on your WiFi and run DNSet.
That solved all my problems. My speeds were always perfect.
The other way to do this is to ROOT the phone and point the DNS Servers to Google's Servers:
8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
DNSet does this without rooting. This is a IPv6 problem. TWC say they are IPv6 compatible but run the test online, all the IPv6 tests fail.
I am curious.. what is the root cause of this? Every other device with that modem on WiFi works. Galaxy S6, iPad3, iPad Mini, my freaking fridget, thermostat, computers, Mac Book Air... just this S7 Edge.
I'm a developer, but my knowledge with networking very limited. So any experience/info on this would be greatly appreciate it.
PS: Every time I disconnect from my WiFi, I Force Stop DNSet to turn it off; the app doesn't provide a "Quit" option :/
Hope this helps some of you.
Quick update.
Today, T-Mobile released an OTA update for Marshmellow v6.01
The new update fixed the WiFi issues I was having specifically when connected to my WiFi with Google Services: Play Store, YouTube, Google Maps, Gmail, basically anything Google.
So, if you are wary of using DNSet, then contact your cell phone provider and let them know. If your cell phone provider won't admit to having any problems, then you will need to wait for an upgrade.
Hope this helps
YES
