[Q] Wifi and Data Network Problem - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I've been having inconsistent Wifi and mobile data network connection since the upgrade to Kitkat. I'm on stock Kitkat 4.4.2 (GT-I9505).
For some weird reason, from time to time (say after a week of use), my S4 connection to Wifi AND 3G/LTE just doesn't work. Disabling Wifi to allow it to go onto the network, and vise versa does nothing. Setting the phone to airplane mode and then disabling airplane also did not work.
Data just isn't going through.
The only solution that works is if I restart the phone
Anybody else had this problem? Any solution?
Thanks in advance.

WIFI Issues

I've had my Nexus for about a week now and noticed two strange issues with the WIFI connection.
1. I can connect to WIFI successfully at home but as soon as I go out and it switches to the 2G network and then later go back inside the WIFI doesn't auto connect it will stay on 2G, I have to disable and enable WIFI to connect to my home WIFI, is there a way round this or is it a bug?
2. Whenever I'm out an about and the phone detects a WIFI network even if its not configured to connect to the WIFI network the phone seems to disable 2G Data connection and continually notifies me of a WIFI network being in range and wanting to configure it, is there anyway of disabling this behavior and allowing the 2G Data connection to be active when no configured WIFI network are in range?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Jon
Really can't help you much on the settings as I don't quite have my N4 but you should always turn wifi off when you're not using it. You will get much better battery and you wont have problem with #2. Sorry I couldn't really help much.

I have the same issue number 1. I find the battery is getting used quickly and the wifi will not connect. if i disable then enable, it quickly connects to the known wifi signal. I can see a different battery decay slope if I let this problem persist for a few hours, it then reverts to its usual slope once wifi is restarted. This problem usually only occurs once a day on average. I hope someone knows how to solve this issue.

[Q] Mobile data is occasionally lost after switching wifi

Hello everyone,
As the title says, my N4 occasionally loses mobile data connection, most of them happen after a wifi switching back and fort. When the connection gone, i always went to Mobile network setting to ensure that Mobile data option is checked.
The problem can only be solved after a reboot.
It's quite annoying because i'm using a Tasker profile that use mobile data to determine current location in order to toggle wifi on my favor. When it goes off, nothing can happen and i have to do all that switching stuff myself, then lead Taskers' automatic abilities to nonsence
So is there anybody has this issue and how to fix that?
I'm using Xenon 7, Franco kernel
Thank you

[Q] WiFi works fine but takes ages to reconnect after falling back to 3G data

Hi all
I've been running CM 10.2 for a while and had no problems with it, but wanted to upgrade to Kit Kat so I flashed CM 11 via the Installer apk. Everything works great except I'm finding that if I go out of WiFi range and the phone falls back to 3G data, it won't reconnect to WiFi when I come back within range (e.g. when I get home from being out). Further details:
- manually reconnecting through settings DOESN'T work... it sees the networks but hitting 'connect' does nothing
- disabling the modem entirely via flight mode and then re-enabling DOES work... WiFi reconnects automatically
- the phone WILL reconnect by itself without flight mode but only after quite a long while
Anyone else experienced this behaviour and know of a fix?
Thanks!

[Q] Wifi connection issue

I have a Galaxy S5 Running Stock Android 5.0 Lollipop, sometimes I came home and found out I don't have wi-fi turned on, I went and turn on Wi-Fi, but the connection no longer works. It will work after I reboot, anyone experience this?
Have you got Smart Network Switch enabled in WiFi settings?
It causes problems for almost everyone, disable it and see if that helps
Mine is not enabled. I will try enabling it to see if it makes a difference. thanks.

Wifi not working randomly

Hi,
I have a problem that my WiFi network disconnects and disappear from the list. Even if I search for network it will not show up.
It looks like a lot of the other WiFi networks around me is also missing when this is happening.
It will suddenly come back again and work as it should for several hours.
I have i locked to 2,4GHz, WiFi always on, scanning is on.
Had the same problem when I used Auto 2,4GHz/5GHz.
All other devices is working as they should. Have also reset the wireless router. (Netgear X4 R7500)
I have the same problem. When I turn the wifi off, and the back on again it discovers my router and connects.
Does anybody have a fix for this?
Same problem here. My 2,4ghz network sometimes just vanishes and shows up after a couple of minutes. And it just won't connect at all with my 5ghz network. My router is a D-link dir 868l. I'm on the latest firmware. My other devices all connect just fine, except for my 6p.
Updated to 6.0.1 and I have still problems. When I come back home, I need to turn off and on WiFi to reconnect. Wifi have not dropped since i updated to 6.0.1 yesterday.
Just curious
Who is your service provider? My girls 5x is connected to Sprint and she has no problems on my network. I have Tmobile on my 6p and it keeps dropping the wifi. Maybe its a Tmobile thing?
reset network config
I had the same problem and try to go to airplane mode on and off then even forget network and add back on. Work for a second and disconnected. So far this way work. Try this.
Got to Setting > Backup & reset > Network Settings reset
Hopefully this will work for you guys too.
Good luck! :good:
My brother has a Nexus 6p and the WiFi doesn't switch on at all after he updated to 6.0.1. I reflashed factory image of 6.0.1 again and it didn't work. I then flashed 6.0 but it still doesn't switch on. Any help?
bump
Anyone have a solution to this problem? I still have this big active, and have been using mobile data since.
