Yes... same issue. I have to reboot to have data network again.

I just had this happen to me for the first time as well..
Woke up this morning, unplugged the phone to see it had neither 3g or H showing in the top bar, and obviously no connection... had to reboot to get it back...
Them again about an hour our so later I was browsing and my signal kept jumping from 3G to H ... and then out of the blue they both disappeared and u lost internet...
Although this time I got it back by switching plane mode on and off..
Just 1 other thing... Is it normal for the signal to continuously move from 3G to H even if your in a full H signal area? My old desire HD just used to stay in H all the time if our could...

It never happened to me and i'm on KE7 since last week.

I'm on Orange network so I wonder if that has something to do with it as per the last firmware

Mines unbranded and unlocked... Using a t-mobile sim
I also upgraded top ke7 last week and today is the first time I've ever seen this happen..

Never in 24 days on all firmware O2 network.

late summer i think.

Can't wait for that to happen. I will turn off roaming so that it doesn't hope onto T-Mobile . See if that helps

Yeah happened to me once, I'm on Optus Australia. I thought there was something wrong with Optus or my sim/apn settings. But when I went to reboot the phone I noticed data had switched itself off.
Hasn't happened since though, been on KE7 since the day after it came out...

Hmm this is strange . This seems to happen when the phone is switched off and on again . If you check the settings by holding down the on/off button it shows as disabled.
I have also noticed that it turns itself into off mode intermittently as well .
I have turned roaming off , made no difference ... The fix is to turn it back on again but as it turns the radio off without me knowing I would not like to miss any important calls etc.
Anyone else have any ideas . I'm sure its software related as wouldn't a hardware issue be more pronounced and permanent?
I still think its network dependent can any other Orange UK users confirm if they have the same issue ?

It hasn't happen to my SGS2 yet but I'm on orange UK for over 5 years now and it happen to several times including my last phone SGS1

Happened to meget aswell. Telmore, Denmark

Just been using my mates O2 card and would you believe it ! It dont do it . Tried a Vodafone card and didn't do it either.
Im hanging a guess if could be my sim but will wait to see if other Orange Uk users can confirm the same issue.

Hmm have you a new sim.since the sgs II . I wondrr if its an account setup issue as the sim I used use to be in an iphone

New Sim ordered and my account is fine .
I am guessing this is a software issue with the radio as I see other data related problems are being threded

Generally orange 3G network the worse. Trust me. I've used O2, voda, tmob and 3. Orange boasts that they have best coverage. its true. They do.
But SIGNAL *****INTENSITY***** (POWER OF THE SIGNAL IS AT LEAST 3 TIMES SLOWER THAN VODAFONE)
this is a test between my sgs2 (orange) vs sgs (vodafone)
In central london.

No point having the strongest router in the world if you have 2mb internet connection. That's how I sum up orange 3g network. Its a shame. No many people know this. I didn't until I signed up a 24 month contact with them...

Does anyone know why Orange Network reads my nearest server as Birmingham?
when vodafone's network reads it correctly?

It was happening to me a lot, everytime the phone went to sleep on a 3G, H, H+ network. Now I disabled fast dormancy via the *#*#9900#*#* and my data is stable.

Tunein alaways disconnecting

Hi,
I have my N4 since last week.
My tunein Pro have a inconsistent data throuput (spike of download) and have many disconnection problem.
I did test the same setup at the same time with a Galaxy S3 without problem and my Gnex is working well!!
Anyone have the same problem

I even reset to factory default and only tunein running.
I will check the guy's at work as far I work for the carrier.
Here respectively on wifi and on 3G data usage.
As you can see on 3G there's spike in the data usage.
And on tunein on my laptop and tethering I have no problem

I'm with Videotron in Quebec.
Something intersting is that it's working great with station smooth jazz Tampa Bay station (128k MP3)
The problem is with NRJ 94,3 station (48k MP3) and CBC one radio Montreal (48k MP3)
With these station I have a incontinuous stream input with spike with interruption.
With smooth jazz Tampa bay the stream input is really continuous without any interruption.

Xperia SP faulty wifi indicator + wrong wifi indication

Hi all,
This morning I was investigating the common wifi issue on our phones. We all know some devices have this issue.
I did a small research with the app Wifi Analyzer and I found this small "bug"..
In systemUI (statusbar) you have the indictors for wifi, nfc, bluetooth, mobile network, time.
When you connect to wifi you get an ammount of bars. I discoverd the following:
(please focus on the statusbar)
Both phones use 4 bars (dot included) to indicate the wificonnection
First picture is from my Samsung Galaxy S Plus Running latest Stock Gingerbread 2.3.6

The second picture is from Xperia SP running latest stock 12.0.A.2.254 (non rooted)
BOTH PHONES WERE ON THE TABLE APROX 2 METER FROM OUR WIRELESS ROUTER!
For some unknow reason the indictator tells a diffrent story than the app Wifi Analyzer..
To be honest i think we all get fooled here. Both phones are having (in my case) a decent but not perfect connection and my Sony still thinks it is a crappy one. ( The option avoid bad connections is off in my case)
So perhaps this is also a bug in Sony roms?
Regards

From what I've read in the past, there is no industry standard to what "one bar" actually means.
That is for the phone network signal though.
I assume there is no standard for Wi-Fi bars either

Which is my conclusion here. When you see only the dot in your status bar. It does not mean it is a crappy connection

It shows that xperia sp wifi cannot catch the signals properly... maybe

Wi-Fi is intermittent, buffering, dropping connections...

Hey Guys,
I'm currently on the Nexus 5 Experience Stock Kernel - Release 2.4.1 ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545838, I've tried flashing other kernels such as Francos and a few others but my issue is still around...
Basically the phone can't keep an active connection for long at all, I could be sending messages over whatsapp and it doesn't appear to send but then suddenly It shows that it's sent and the other person has replied...
Loading webpages can take several attempts, refreshing facebook can take several attempts and occasionaly when I look at the tiles the wifi tile is different color (reconnecting to the router) but the wifi in my place is very stable, fast and should work fine... I switched back to Paranoid Android for a test and the wifi works fine on it...
My wifi is awful on all of the 4.4 ROMS, anyone know why and anyone know how to debug and fix?
Thanks

You should flash this zip or add the line to your file by the root app, like root explorer...

I flashed that before it did nothing, I also tried someone else version (had different modified lines)

In that case the only way to fix that is change the kernel or the entire rom...
But wait for "insider" users, did you reported in the rom topic?

I've tried over 10 kernels, over 10 ROMS including 100% stock and even tried different radios / bootloaders but the only thing working for me is 4.3 and lower...
It couldn't be a router setting could it?

I've tried changing the wifi band to 2.4 and change the region code to Europe, tried wifi optimization on and off but still it's awful

Do you have similar performance issues with other wireless devices when using your router? If so then it likely is a router problem. Does your router have an 'auto' mode for channel or is there a reason you're using 6.

The wireless works perfectly on laptops, other phones (Samsung S2, HTC Desire Z...etc), I'm using channel 6 as in the other part of the house the wireless there uses Channel 1 and the garden uses channel 11, (odd shaped house means parts of the house wouldn't get wireless if I ran them through one router)
I can try changing them all to auto but I doubt it will make a difference.

All three on auto and still the same issues, turned two of the extenders off and just ran it like a normal setup and again the same issues

Tried another ten roms with and without custom kernels, all give Me the same problem

Wi fi issues!
The same things you described also apply to my case!! I expected that new radio or kit kat kernel would solve wifi issues of my nexus 4 but nothing. I have tested also various kernels-roms-fixes but the result is always the same. I compared every new configuration with my nexus 7 2013 and it feels disappointing!!! wifi speed 1.5Mbps for Nexus 4 10.5Mbps for Nexus 7! The only thing I have noticed is that I can achieve 10Mbps also with nexus 4 when I change small settings such as set to 2.4Ghz channel and disable wifi battery optimization.. Speed is improved instantly up to 10Mbps but it works only for some minutes. After that it is the same bad speed / bad signal reception / weird behaviors among different routers!! nothing of these happen with samsung phones!!
Almost bad signal reception also applies to my Nexus 7 2013 depending on the router!! I am very dissapointed with nexus devices! I bought them mainly due to the fact that google used to support its products.

Poor WiFi Signal

Hello XDA;
A great deal of our PX xx chinese headunits have a very poor wifi reception due a tiny and small wifi antenna on these units. [example # 20]

What are our options to get a better wifi signal ?
Replace the stock antenna with a better one ? [ requires fiddling inside the unit itself ]
Extend the stock antenna with a copper wire to the radio / nav / gps antenna ?
All these units have USB ports, so i thought - plug in a wifi dongle and hope for the
best but it seems my PX6 unit cannot detect any of my 3 dongles i have tried so far.
So ... are there any options left ?

Not MTCB, requested mod moves post to (Android head-units) forum
Also, OP, being senior member should know better than this. Read the /&$₩÷(÷¥ forums which cover this very issue.

@P2.nl Is your WiFi reception bad? What are your WiFi speeds? 2.4 or 5GHz band?
I believe the antennas that come with these units are meant for close distance so that they can use a phones WiFi hotspot.
Yours looks much larger than the "antenna" on mine. Mine is only two small wires that are maybe 1 cm in length. I can access my home router from my garage and also connect to my phone while in the car for internet access. When attached to my home router, the speeds are slow, though.

When i use my phone hotspot option [2.4 Ghz] in close range, then i have a decent connection.
If i park my car straight under my appartment it can pick up my home's wifi network on a weak
level, in distance +/- 10 meters, when i park my car 5 meters further away then no wifi signal.
I do not have a unlimited data plan on my cell phone so prefer to update all my devices thru my
home network, i tried 3 different wifi [atheros/realtek/ralink/2.4/5.0] dongles to see if my android
px6 head unit would detect them as a plug & play device but that was not the case unfortunatly.

All units from all competitors with bluetooth and WiFi 2.4GHz do have this issue. The newer versions of Bluetooth and 2.4GHz are using the same frequenties and thereby disturbing each other, especially if it is a shared chip. That is one reason.
The second reason is metal around the antenna.
A special antenna can help but it is better to place it outside the metal cage of your car.
Wifi is subsceptible to surrounding metal. After all we are talking about electromagnetic radiation which is also absorbed by other metals than only the copper wire in your antenna. If you have an extra antenna with a longer wire then place it under the plastic of your dashboard (or on top of your dashboard). Most dashboards have rigid metal constructions underneath.
Another dongle is not supported as they removed that from the usb-wifi drivers.
Note also that "tiny and small antenna" is not really correct. Length is based on frequency. (and how small do you think a phone antenna is).
Only the latest units featuring 5GHz WiFi work nicely as they again function on a different frequency.

I had the same issue before I changed my cell plan to have unlimited data. I'm in Canada and there are very few carriers to choose from. There is only one reasonably priced carrier with "unlimited" data. They reduce speeds after you have reached your monthly allocation. The allocation is good but I like that there are no overage charges.
Back to your issue. Several things comes to mind:
You can try a WiFi extender for your home. It might give you more signal where you need it. However, it may not. Only way to know is to try it. If your router is not immediately above your car, this may work by placing the extender immediately above your car.
Your router may have options to increase the signal strength. Not all routers have this option.
You can update your apps where there is free WiFi available. Where I am, there are a few retailers that offer this. Parking outside while you go in for a coffee and maybe a donut.
One thing I did was to turn off Google Play Store automatic updates. If everything is working, updating is not required. This can save a lot of data as each update seems to take several hundred megabytes or more. Only update occasionally or when needed.
Another thing I noticed was that the Google Play Store kept updating apps even if they were recently updated. This happens even on my phones as well. I remember looking this up and found many people reporting this issue. One way to verify this is to check the date of the updates that are presented. You'll find that some of the presented updates are not recent or may be the exact same as the apps that you have currently installed. This is another reason to turn off automatic updates.
