[Q] S4 always connection timeout - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a problem of my s4, the internet connection always hang, the H+ is on and the up arrow is shown, it need to wait around 20-30 seconds to resume the connection, but the signal is not very bad (3/4 signal) . Everytime when it resume the network, it will go down to 3g->H->H+, then the data will continue to download.

Same issue here too once I take airplane mode off the phone each morning guessing a software bug.

that happens to my phone too sometimes. It's so annoying. I'll use the browser to surf a sight and it just hangs out for a few seconds before the data arrows start flashing. once in a while it'll timeout. but for the most part the phone works great.

But l dont know why not many users facing this problem.
You mean when the problem occur, then turn on the airplane mode and off again to resume the signal?

so do you think we need to call customer service to check our S4?

I've got the same problem. Does it both when connected to wifi and when connected to 3g (4g is very spotty here). I have to exit out of the browser, restart the browser then it works. Doesn't matter which browser I use either.

APNDroid doesn't work fine...

Hi,
I'm a Nexus One user, i'm tying APNDroid to lower my data traffic and I have a problem.
When switching to ON, internet does not up (but apn entries corrected to their normal values). When i reset the phone (or enter in flight mode and back to normal) internet works well.
I've tried also the widget Toggle Data with the same results.
Anyone with the same problem? Any possible solution?
Thanks in advance.
APNDriod works just fine here
It does note, however, that latent connections may not clear. So, if they never clear (so you reboot), you cant connect after toggling on
Dear All,
I've the similar experience. I'm using the 3G network in the street. When I back to home, I'll switch-off the 3G network that using the APNdroid and then switch on the Wifi. When I go out, I'll switch-off the Wifi and then open the 3G network again, but it's not work, until I restart the phone again. Is it the Wifi already allocate the resources that cannot release? or I need to make some changes in the phone setting?
Thanks a lot! :-D

I have seen a few people report the same thing - maybe report it to the developer? I don't really use mobile data at the moment, so it does not affect me.
it won't work immediately after I re-enable it, but give it 1 or 2 minutes then it will work again.
I actually have the same problem. Quite annoying. Hope a fix for this comes out soon.
I had the same problem.. and I notice no need to restart or reboot.
Just switch on the wifi and off again and while the APNDroid is on then the connection should be back on.

This didn't work for me today...
Normally it does.
I had to do a reboot until data connection worked again.
I have exactly the same problem:

No solution yet...
same here!
even if I don't use apndroid, just going outside wlan area doesn't brings me 3g back (any connection), that's really bad
this morning switching on apndroid no connection came back within 20 min. After i switched flight mode it worked immediately.
Do all n1 users having this issue?

Dont use this myself, but I wonder if the developer could add an optional toggle in/out of flight mode to fix this. that should terminate any existing connections too.
Dunno why really, but i dont have the issue, i have the same phone provider like LokoYaw and i dont have the problem.
Im using cyano5.0b3+kernel .29 highmem and no issues by now (and never with my magic too)
Bye all!
The wifi trick (turning it on/off) works well with me.
is this a software problem or N1 problem ?
before using APNDroid I manually edit APN to turn edge on/off and sometime experienced the same problem. Edge symbol just doesn't apprear, have to restart N1.
Anyway, thanks for the tip. I'll try change mode/turn wifi on-off to see what works for me.
I'm here to report that I suffer from the exact same problem, and have been mistaking it all day as the fault of my carrier's EDGE.
But toggling wi-fi on/off does work. Hooray.

Well, it WAS working fine, untill the update. Now it doesnt any more :S
The wifi trick sometimes works for me--it seems that if the phone doesn't detect any wifi in the area, then it doesn't work. Hit and miss. :/ And I really need the app, too, since like some of you I don't have an unlimited data plan.
Got the same issue here in Italy with TIM operator.

Dunno if you realise or not, but using APNDroid for this purpose is kinda pointless, Android shuts down the mobile data connection when it connects to a WLAN.

3G/Data Connection stability

Hello,
anyone has the same problem as mine? And maybe a fix
My problem is the stability of my 3G data connection. Sometimes it just hangs which means that it indicates that it is connected to 3G but when I try to sync my mail or browse to a page, it doesn't show anything and it timesout as it seems not to be connected.
I disconnect my data connection and connect again to fix the problem. I experience the problem when I leave my phone on standby for sometime.
If I have Opera running in the background, I have to exit it and start it again after the restarting data connection to be able to browse!!!
Anybody experience the same problem and maybe has a fix?
I sorta had this issue, but the phone kept switching from 3g to HDSPA and back again, not loading the web page during. So i disable HDSPA to force it only 3g. I dunno if if this is whats happening to you, but hey worth a shot no?
Where?
Where can I disable HDSPA ??

Start - Settings - Connections - Advanced Network
The tab that comes up, click on the drop down list and choose disable. Soft reset and see if your connection stabilises
thx
thanks, will try that
i Already try that but the problem persist i´m going to try with a diferent radio
I have this issue too, Its been on the last 3 radios I have used. Going to update to the latest one tonight
Have you guys tried disabling the proxy?
Settings - Connections - Connections
You will have your internet settings, and then My Work Network. Under your internet settings, click Edit my proxy server, and uncheck This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet.
However the proxy server that already in there will dissapear, so write it down. But oddly, on my device, i cant edit it. i dunno, i guess if something goes wrong, just run the connections setup again.
This is a known issue without a solution at this point.
Here's the main thread discussing it, 30+ pages of trial & error:

It seems to be working when disabling HDSPA!! No connection problems so far
Yes, but you're also not getting 3G...
yep
I am getting 3G!
He's getting 3g but not 3.5G which is usually faster speeds.

What is that option to disable HDSPA?
Last time I tried, I was only getting edge, and not 3G

I posted it early up. read the thread dude it only disables hdspa, its not the same as the 3g switcher in the comms manager, that turns off 3g entirely
to the OP, glad it worked however, my internet started workin a few weeks later with hsdpa, could be due to a better radio that i flashed. so if u flash a new radio, hdspa might still work better so be sure to test it out!

Loosing data connection when using GPS

Hi,
Since a few days, everytime i try to use GPS like in google maps, i loose the data connection (except wifi) but Edge, 3g or hsdpa disapear.
And the worst is that to get it back i need to reboot the phone. Switching the wifi off doesn't help.
When if is off, everything is working well.
I'm on cyanogem 5.0.6 but i'm using CM since a long time and never noticed it before (and at the begining there was no problem with 5.0.6)
If a watch the dmesg logs right after starting the gps and loosing the data connection i see a red message with : "qmi: wds: network start failed (000e)"
Anyone else experienced this problem ? Please tell me it's not an hardware problem and there is a software solution !
I am not sure if it is the GPS but I also experience the problem that I don't have a data connection anymore over EDGE or HSDPA. The icon is there in the notification bar but I can't connect anyway. Only a reboot brings back the connection .
help .. me too

I m kinda experiencing the same problem .. I would be using wi-fi, updating my apps thru the marketplace and at the end of the day when i need to use gprs to check my online frens, I can't.. the little gprs/edge logo just shows on my taskbar but I can't seem to access the net .. But amazingly it works fine after restarting my fone.. I don't want to restart everytime this happens as doin so will result in re-caching of my gallery most of the time( a bug I noticed) and it sucks when u have a huge collection of photos in almost 300 sorted folders ...
a little help here, anyone ?

I am facing the same problem, whether i am on wifi or mobile network, my connection seems to be unstable, especially when screen is off. Once I switch on the phone, I start receiving many notifications at once, So it seems that data connection sometimes gets off and reconnects once the screen gets on. The issue happens on wifi as well as mobile network.
many times I loose connection even with the phone on, after browsing web or using other network related apps. after switching off data toggle, the connection restores back to normal.
Couldn't find any solution yet. On my Galaxy S4 I never had such an issue

S7 Edgesays "No internet" in wifi

So my problem is that after i connect in any wifi network, my phone says "no internet" however I really have internet connection (for example i can go to facebook), and after reboot it works normal sometime. Tried factory reset with no any help. So does someone have same problems and if you do, did you fix it?
My phone does this with any wifi network and everytime reboot "fix" it. Also i don't do anything special before this problem appears.
Phone: S7 Edge (G935F)
OS: Android 7 Nougat
so it's just cosmetic?
I guess to determine if you've internet the smartphone is pinging a certain server which seems not to be available in your case.
I only did restart once and while I'm on recognized network, it was fixed permanently. It happened only on first use, you may need to reboot the router

Well i guess it's only cosmetic since i can use browser normally and my whatsapp etc works great. I just don't understand why it works this way.
I have similar issues on my wi-fi. When strength of signal goes under 50% (ca <65 dBm), it starts to lag and very offen lost connection to the internet...pretty disturbing and dissapointing I have to say.

Okay, is it like it's really losing connection or just saying that like in my case (i have the connection, but my phone thinks i don't so it shows that "no internet" notification in wifi settings and in the wifi icon)?
It is really also losing of connection, download stuck or is really sloooow. It is also indicated in status bar in Wi-Fi icon (exclamation mark) and under Network name is "Internet can be unavailable".
When the signal is weak, I can't even finish network test through Ookla app - upload test can't be finished.
Same situation is with other wifi networks...in my work when the signal is at 50% signal, it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting, my other phone has stable connection at the same place where Edge is strugling
Screenshots are attached.
