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?

I've been struggling with this for a while, but it seems like WiFi constantly drops or slows down and I need to toggle WiFi off and on again. I read about how this affects dlink routers but I don't have a dlink router. I'm running stock rooted.
Anybody else with this issue? Does MF3 fix this?

Hey Guys, this issue has been bugging me for quiet some time:
I have been using the Soft Access Point function of windows 7 via my wlan card for a long time and it didn't really give me any problems until recently.
It goes like this:
I activate the network, my phone connects. So far so good. But it keeps dropping out and reconnecting to mobile network all the time. That happened with other devices like my Netbook as well, but never this frequent and only when I wasn't actively using the connection. When I got the nexus 4 it started happening more often. And in the recent days/weeks very frequent. Sometimes only minutes after connecting. Also when the connection is in use, even during VoIP calls.
But I'm not sure whether it's a problem with the phone or the network setup... Any ideas?
Oh yeah, I'm running unrooted stock and the PC is Win 7 ultimate x64

I forgot to mention: To fix it, I have to disable and then enable the network again. It always shows as still active on the PC but doesn't show on the phone before I do so.

Hello everyone,
I'm currently on 4.4.3.
When I connect to a Wifi (in my home and other places), it's all working well..
Until after some time (could be minutes or hours), the Wifi icon turns orange and I can't access the internet.
The only way I can access the internet again is by turning off and on the Wifi (or on and off the airplane mode).. and then the whole story starts again.
I've been facing this issue for a long time now (I actually think it started when the 4.2.2 update arrived), and didn't find any solution for this yet.
The only clue I managed to find is that it's somehow related to the Google Play Services.
Here are some screenshot I made on the Google Play Services screen (by dialing *#*#426#*#*):

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
Thank you so much,
Tommy
anyone?
When your phone doesn't have access to Google's services the WiFi and network icons turn orange.
If you, for example, try to force an OTA you delete the Google Services Framework cache and data. You can immediately see that the icons turn orange because your phone doesn't have a connection anymore with the Google servers.
If your icons turn orange and it's bothering you(not able to use the Play Store, or any other reason) I suggest to remove and re-add your Google account in your device its settings.
If you need more information let me know!

Thank you so much
but actually when the icons turn red - I cannot open any website via chrome.. so not only the google services won't work, but my entire internet connection doesn't work... not the browsers, not the whatsapp, and not any other "internet" application

Happens to me sometimes also. It's when your phone has a connection with your access point(router) but doesn't have internet(due a router timeout for instance).
It's very irritating but turning off my WiFi and turning it back on always works for me!

For me either, but it looks like an annoying bug So this is the issue I'm looking forward to fix somehow
Radio
Did you flash the new 1.02 radio? When you're rooted you manually have flash the radio.

I flashed 4.4.3 using the flash-all.bat file. didn't it flash the 1.02 radio by using this file?
hmm dunno..
I've never tried that method. You can check the version in settings, about phone, smallband version (beneath 'android version') (translated from Dutch), the last three digits are the version of the radio (for ex. .84 .98 1.02).

seems like it did install the 1.02 radio
As mentioned orange icons tell you there's no connection to the Google servers.
But your problem seems to be between your device/router as you can't access the internet at all. Does it happen on other WiFi or mobile data?

Is there any way to debug this?
Does some log (logcat?) can contain information regarding this issue when it occurs?
Unfortunately it still happens
anyone?
Turn your router off for about 5 minutes and turn it back on. This should fix it.

That's a temporary fix.. the issue keeps happening
I'm bumping this.
Happens to me on two nexus 5's and a nexus 4. Apparently it started happening after I replaced my router, but I still haven't found a setting in the router that fixes the issue. At least I can verify this is a router issue.
