I'm using a Galaxy S4 from USC (SCH-R970).
4.3.1
Loaded PAC-MAN nightly build dated 11/16/13
All seems to work very well and I'm quite happy with the ROM. There is one glitch I'm having which I can only assume is from the ROM. Whenever I leave my wifi connection and the phone needs to switch to data, it doesn't. It takes a reboot and then all is well. This is what happens when I leave home to go to work. I don't have a wifi connection at work. Going back home doesn't cause any problems. It happily picks up the wifi again.
Other forums have had some suggestions such as toggling wifi on/off (as in airplane mode) etc., none of which seems to work for me. I need to do a reboot to get back to enabling data connection.
Has anyone else noted this? Is this a known issue? Are there any suggestions?
Thx
I have almost the same issue, for me, I randomly lose data connection, and have to reboot to fix it. I DL an app called 3g reconnect and haven't had the problem since. I don't know a real fix but hope that helps

Hey guys, newbie user and android owner.
I picked up the vibrant the other day. So far its rooted, android-wifi-tether, and i performed the gps fix on it.
I really like the phone, but whenever I connect to my wifi router, it stops all data (android market, web browser, etc) It says connected and doesn't show any signs of problems. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for any help you can throw my way.
Hmm. Mine has problems with "No Connection" when it's connected to my wireless at home, but I just figured it was my router's fault since my computer gives me the "unable to load web page" thing all the time too. My router sucks, though. Maybe your does too?
Yeah, mine does it sometimes too. I just turn on airplane mode, and turn it back off...works fine after that. Its a hit or miss issue.
Mine works fine running off if my router. Btw, do you actually have the wi-fi tether working? Because I thought we needed a working kernal for that to work.

Yup that did it for me. All I had to do was turn on airplane mode and then turn it back off. Wifi working for me now. Thanks.

Please tell us how you got wifi tethering to work without a custom kernel.

you know, i have a similar issue, where im connected to my router but i dont get internet and 3g goes away the moment i connect to wifi... airplane mode didnt help tho... its interesting really..
ive tried other routers and my phone can get wifi w/internet from them
i did factory reset on my phone 3 times trying to figure this out; 2 of the three times i got wifi to work w/internet until i disconnected and connected again. then i just got the same problem all over again
Anyone else experiencing this? I go between wifi for work and home, and wifi stops working when I do. When I go to the wifi settings, it shows Wifi as "scanning" and shows remember wifi networks, but no actual live networks. It pretty much happens every time I go between work and home and a soft reset or manually cycling wifi off and then on fixes it.
I get the same issue when connecting to 5G N network... it tries to connect the disconnects... I usually restart and it works fine...

This sometimes happens on my mt3g. Maybe a froyo issue and not a phone issue.

Wow, I think you may have hit the nail on the head. At home, I am 5ghz N only, and at work, I connect to 5ghz N half the time, and 2.4ghz N the other half.
Where would I submit the bug for this? HTC? I can gather up enough technical data for a good ticket.
I've been having a couple problems lately on connecting to wifi.. well it connects, but I cannot use the internet. It usually only takes powering down the wifi and turning it back on, but it is an annoying issue. This had happened on the stock rooted rom, and on cm. anyone else have or know of this issue and a possible fix?

I know that there are problems with Exchange and such, but everything was working fine on my phone up until about 2 weeks ago. I have been running CM7 for quite some time and always left wifi on to connect at work and home. Never had any issues connecting to my Exchange account. Then I started to notice some connection issues with e-mails not coming in, etc. It was very random it seemed, sometimes on wifi, sometimes on 3G. So this weekend I decided to try installing CM7.2 and CM9 and maybe it would resolve my issues. Now I can get my phone to connect over 3G, but if I turn on wifi it will not connect, even after I turn wifi back off, until I reboot the phone. Not sure how to fix this problem, I enjoy using wifi quite a bit and it obviously keeps my data usage lower. Any ideas on how I can fix this? Currently running the latest CM9 beta.
Did you flash any kernel? Anyways try updating now the kernels are fixed today.

Hi all,
Been using my GT-i9505 for a while now completely fine. Used WiFi fine etc. However I've moved back to uni where I don't get WiFi and so I use connectify via my laptop and a wired connection to transmit a WiFi signal. I've used this for a few months perfectly fine for my iPhone and tablet (transformer infinity).
The issue that arises is that my gs4 connects fine and stats connected no issues. The data arrows flash orange and green but the data seems to stop working.
Best example is whatsapp which will not send messages or at best has a huge delay.
I rectified this by turning off Wi-Fi power save which fixed the issue but is bit really a fix SD this literally ate battery like nothing else. So wondered if there is s fix or anything I can do phone or computer side to fix this?
