Hello all,
Quick question. Is anyone losing Google Sync / Data when on Wifi ?
Happens at home and work. Never had an issue with my GS3 or One X. On cell service it works fine.
update 11/24
Seems as though its a pretty widespread issue. Also , it is an issue with the connection it self, not just google sync.
I opened up a "google issue" , if you are having the same problems I recommend posting on the thread. It can be found here:

I have the exact same problem. But it only happens at home. At home we've wep and at work wpa2. Never had an issue with my GS2. On cell service it works fine for me too.
Is android 4.2 incompatible with 128-bit WEP???
This is driving me nuts! Any ideas community??

I've noticed this too but seems to only be when the phone is sleeping? I'll turn screen on and bars will be gray and then turn blue. Did you guys turning off wifi optimization in wifi settings? I might try that next. It's some sort of power saving

hey guys,
I actually put in a google issue that seems to be picking up some steam.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40065
I have no clue what causes it at this point. It doesnt happen on all networks. Happens on my work network which is open / unsecured.
Also does it on my inlaws network which is wpa2 encrypted. However my home network which is also wpa2 encrypted is fine.
I recommend posting on the google issue to raise awareness
I added my experience, it seems to me like it's keeping wifi alive but not the Google connection. I have no issues on a Nexus 7 running 4.2 so it's not my router either but could be something specific to Nexus 4 hardware. I might try changing wifi sleep policy to never to see if at least this way HSPA will be connected when screen is off.

Anybody not having this issue? It's really annoying and for some reason even if I set wifi to stay on when plugged in or never it takes forever to disconnect so I still don't get alerts. Definitely appears to be an issue with 4.2 so i guess we just have to wait and hope it is fixed in next update.

It's happening to me both with my N4 on 4.2 and also with my Transformer Prime, recently updated to 4.1.1. Only on specific networks.

It actually happens to me on both new Nexus 4 and Nexus 7. Happens on home network (WPA2).
Any chance this could be a Google server issue? My Nexus 7 on 4.2 and GS3 running CM10 4.1.2 doesn't have issue either just my Nexus 4. Not sure what's causing it on my Nexus 4 but it's driving me crazy.

I'm pretty sure this is a general Wifi issue, and not limited to Google services. I've noticed that when the Wifi goes to sleep, I no longer receive incoming calls in GrooveIP or Sipdroid. I also don't receive email alerts until I turn on the screen, and the wifi re-activates.
EDIT: I ran a simple test. Loaded GrooveIP, called GV # from another phone, GrooveIP rang. Let the phone sit for 10 minutes to fall asleep. Called again. Didn't ring. I then loaded up Advanced Wifi Lock to prevent the phone from going asleep. The first call worked, and so did the one after 10 minutes. So, this definitely seems like an issue that impacts any service depends on a reliable Wifi link - not just Google's Sync services. I ran the same test with Sipdroid, and got identical results.

That's a bad example because GrooveIP uses GTalk on the backend so you're still using Google Services. What makes this more puzzling is I went to a Brooklyn Nets game last night and they have crazy fast open WiFi at the place while my phone was connected, it appears that all notifications worked even when the screen was off. I was too busy watching the game to pay much attention but I did get emails, etc. while the screen was off and I was on Wifi. The main difference between that WiFi and my home Wifi is the one at the arena had no security at all.
I've been playing around with my router and tweaking settings but nothing is working and I'm pretty sure this is a phone software issue. What I want to find is someone with 4.2 on a Nexus 4 who is NOT having an issue. I'm starting to wonder if this is an app or Google Service sync related issue.
My Nexus 7 running 4.2 does NOT have any issue on the same exact Wifi so I'm wondering if it's some app or setting on my phone that's causing this
For me it definitely seems to occur more on unsecured networks.
Not only is it google sync but the connection in general.
Anybody with this issue brave enough to try a factory reset? If it doesn't get solved soon I'll probably flash CWM recovery, do a nandroid and then do a factory reset to see if that fixes it. At least that way if it doesn't I can restore backup.
Anyone want to try now?

Weird! So you did a factory reset and still nothing? Did you still have the issue before you restored apps? I mean like completely stock with just what comes on the phone. If you still have the issue with that, then we know it's not app related.
I might also try downloading and reflashing the system image...maybe something got screwed up in the 4.2 update??

Since I flashed Franco boot 5, the problem has stopped (i think). Flashing stock/factory reset didn't help me.

Interesting - is Franco Kernel 5 stable enough to use as a daily driver? Any issues? I'm willing to flash it now to test it but don't want to make the phone less stable.
ya i have had 0 issues with it , from what he has said its not a ton different from stock just some basic fixes

Strange then that it might fix this issue since the wifi module is stored in system and he's not overwriting it so something in the kernel itself

I just flashed Gummy ROM Kitkat 4.4 on my sprint S4 and I am having a few issues. My gmail will not sync anymore. the generic email app gets my emails right away, but gmail app will not sync. Also seems like mobile data is not working right, its really flaky now, keeps cutting in and out....mainly out, the only time I can actually do anything that needs data is through wifi. Also, my time rarely updates. Just wondering if anyone else had these issues or knows how to fix them, before I go back to stock. Thanks much.

I am having the same exact problem. The built in mail app syncs without any problems.
Had regular galaxy s4 from att since it came out, never did any rooting or anything, updating to kitkat Ota when it was released and had no issues until about a week ago. I did a factory data reset because of too much junk on the phone and wanted to reorganize a bit, backed up everything using kies 3 and ever since then my data/signal cuts out randomly everyday, all day long. The more I text I noticed the more it drops, and then goes from LTE to 4g and it'll stay that way until some random amount of time, disconnect again, back to LTE once in a while but mostly be 4G. I heard of some issues with the kitkat update causing various issues like this but don't understand how a simple factory reset and restore screwed it all up or if it's even that. Tried full format, reflashing entire stock firmware and has done absolutely nothing for remedying the problem. Is it possible it's a sim card issue?

I have been having the same problems since I took an OTA update. LTE is very intermittent in places I know it is available and I randomly lose my cell connection for brief periods, which is a huge pain for SMS. I just flashed NB1 with ODIN and everything worked for the brief time before I updated to NC1 (LTE, no connection drop). When I updated to NC1 I started experiencing problems again. I subsequently tried flashing back to the NB1 modem to no avail
I tried ATT support at one point and they reset some stuff on their end (a while ago so I don't remember what) but that did nothing.
Anyone with any insight here would be my hero. This has been plaguing me since december.
Update: Tried re-flashing NC1 modem twice via ODIN with manual reboot. Still no LTE, not sure about connection drops yet.
Went to att store yesterday, thought maybe bad sim card, they replaced it and problem still persists... Looks like I'm getting the note 4 next month cause this is driving me crazy, so I guess I just need to put up with it until then.

+2 to this issue. My wife and I both have the same problem as you've described, and it's gotten progressively worse with time. The worst part is that the phone seems to think that cellular connectivity is still there as I still have bars. However, data, phone and text capabilities are all dead. The only fix is a reboot, and it's short lived.
I've read on another forum that disabling 3G and 4G eliminates the problem, but then you're stuck with basically no mobile data...
Anyone with advice, I'm willing to experiment!!!
It's hard to believe no one else is seeing this problem, or attempting to resolve it...
Wiped x3, flashed MDB mode and Odin'd back to stock MDB ROM. Let sit for an hour, then flashed back to stock NC1 ROM & Modem. Modem hang in less than a day...anyone else have any ideas how to fix these modem hangs? I don't have any ideas left.
Got the same problem. Mine started happening on MK2, so I updated to NB1 then immediately NC1. No change at all. I was concerned that it was because I'd rooted and was running Xposed framework and a bunch of modules. I was about to flashback to stock, but after reading some of you folks issues, I won't bother.
Looks like an upgrade sooner than later is in order.
Hi, so I got myself tab 4(sm-t237p) and at first everything was working fine. I stayed connected for days, and all was good till I decided to root the device. I downgraded it to 4.4.2 kit-kat and got the root to work, but now I get these random disconnects. Sometimes they happen every 5 minutes, sometimes I stay connected for hours. I have tried setting the IP to static, and also commented the RO-carrier in build-prop. Didn't do squat. Anyone has any solution to this problem? I also removed the root and upgraded to 5.1.1 thinking it would solve the problem. It didn't.
After upgrading to android 13 i started to experience sharp internet slowdown on my phone. At first, it manifested itself in waiting even a dozen or so seconds for the page to load in Google Chrome, but later I realized that this applies to all applications. I bought this phone today (April 4, 2023) and updated it from version 1.1.0 to 1.5.3. Will try to do a factory reset and maybe the problem will go away. Let me know if any of you have experienced a similar situation.
after resetting network settings everything works fine now.
