Hello all,
I bought my Nexus 7 in Hong Kong. Now I'm back in Mainland China and faced a big problem with the VPN L2TP connection on my N7. After the VPN tunnel is established my N7 reboots after an undefined time. I'm able to download and use it...but then the device freezes and reboots. Staying in China without VPN (PPTP is mostly slowly and blocked ) is a mess. Somebody has an idea or faced the same ?
On my Nexus phone I've no problems...

I have EXACTLY the same problem! I log in to my VPN on the Nexus 7, then - at any moment either immeidately after or sometimes 20-30 minutes after - the thing just reboots itself randomly. Does NOT happen when VPN is not connected.
Talk about annoying!
Ok... I'm back in China...so...VPN must have....I've tested several things...WPA2,WPA and WEP...it doesn't matter...device freezes and reboots...that's absolutely a bug in the N7... somebody knows how to send that to Google devs?

I just wanted to comment that I get the same exact reboot issue, although mine could be attributed to the ROM I'm using which is Bugless Beast.
I use L2TP connections too, but mine will reboot immediately after opening chrome, or other programs which use the Internet. Not sure what to do

now i am using ipsec vpn, it's ok now :cyclops:
Sure... possible if you root your device...I've solved it flashing my rooter... running there an OpenVPN client...still 4.2 got that bug...painfully enough for Google... other OEM's don't have such struggling behaviour... Regards from Changchun...with the smallest bandwith of China....really annoying...

similar but
On my device, I connect to VPN at home and at work. I have never had the restart bug when I connect at work. It always happens when I'm at home. So this is a very specific bug for a certain kind of connection and not just VPN WiFi in general. Good luck everyone I hope we figure this out.
Which vpns do you use here in China?
I am having trouble setting up Witopia on my nexus 7. I have it on my computer and it doesn't work very well and I have it on my ipad but no luck on the nexus. Why are the android settings far less user friendly than apple's?
What vpns are you guys using? Are any of them free? I want to change the region on my nexus to download apps from the US.

Hi...they are User friendly...but there are with some VPN Providers telegram issues since Android 4. Some are able to handle it, some not. I´m using Astrill. It´s cheap, fast enough, great support and a lot of server locations. Sorry, i wasn´t able to get any VPN connection without reboot of my Nexus 7. My solution was to invest some money in a new router, which i flashed DDWRT and put from Astrill the OpenVPN solution on it.
AW: VPN L2TP connection issues reboot
Hi all,
I was Bord the last days...and...i've flashed my Android devices with custom roms....my Nexus 7 has no VPN issues using Paranoid Android Rom...now i'm pretty sure that anything in the stock Rom is a mess....

I have the exact same problem. Gonna have to flash a custom ROM. I am using 4.2.2 on a nexus 7
Hello all,
currently my Nexus 4 is losing it's mobile internet connection when i am a long time connected to a wifi. I am on O2 germany as a carrier, when android was much younger, like 1.6 i had the same issues, but somewhen on android 2.X it was fixed.
Somehow it looks like in 4.2 it's now the same issue
When i am just a few minutes in the wifi and lose wifi connection like moving away from the building everything is fine and the nexus 4 is switching to mobile internet
when i am a few hours in the wifi and to the same it's not switching, i've got cell connection for call and text but no Internet,
switchting from 2g to 2g/3g fixes it then, but it's somehow annoying
any ideas or anyone with the same issue?
edit:
seems that people are having the same issue on the galaxy nexus too, but even with older android versions

it actually happens to me as well. I live in Australia and thought the problem lies with my provider. And yeah I can get the 3g connection back when i tried to change to 2g then back to 3g connection. Has this issue been reported before? hope it can be fixed soon.
This has happened to me twice since I got my N4. I'm in Canada btw. I wonder if it is a frequent problem out there.

Me too...is there a fix?

my solution so far is: airplane mode on -> airplane mode off
This is what I usually end up doing. Although it sucks that a phone of this caliber has problems with this.

Im having the same problem. Doesnt matter which rom im on. Been on stock, modaco, and some PA rom with this problem. Also used matr1x kernel and franco kernel. Solution for me is to jump into airplane mode and back.
I'm in the same boat and only quick fix is airplane mode on/off.

I have the same issue.
I dont know whose fault it is, Google, LG or my carrier... but it's quite frustrating from time to time.
I thought i had solved it by activating "choose automatically" in mobile network settings> network operators.
It worked yesterday and this saturday, i didnt drop 3g connection when i disconnected wifi.
But i lost it again this morning as i left for work, just like last week...
I've had this problem since 2.1. I seem to remember it being on the Google fix boards. The aeroplane on/off is the easiest workaround. But, still, it's annoying, and it is also not consistent. If it makes you feel any better, the same issue arises on iphones. This suggests it is not simply an android issue, it might be interesting to know if bb or wpx does it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
i think the issue is neither LG nor Google
i think it's something with qualcomm driver and the provider
because on older devices i had with qualcomm chips had the same issue
the sgs2 and the hox which had exynos and nvidia chips didn't had the issue

Idk if knowing that others have the same problem makes me feel better, i just hope they can fix it.
That's likely the one, I'll rely on your veracity.

I have the same issue, and not thought about the airplane mode. Thanks guys

so if you check the google support forum thread
it looks like a lot of users are having this issues
i don't undersand why google is not even giving a statement
It happens to me very often, because I turn off data overnight. Airplane mode doesn't help, the only thing that brings connection back without reboot is Mobile Networks -> Network operators -> search... It finds my operator again and connection comes back. I had the same problem with Galaxy Nexus 4.1.2 (fixed in 4.2, though), but airplane mode did the trick there.

Internet stops working when left idle for long
I bought the phone a week back & am facing the same problem.....not just been with Wi Fi even if the phone is left idle the internet stops working & i have to restart......post that it comes back to normal & active.
Its quite annoying to restart phone every now n then everytime internet stops working.

Are there any experts that can help to resolve the issue for a better & permanent solution....?!

You can't do much if nothing other than wifi and network works.
I've tried it, just did a nandroid, flashed it like a normal ROM, and restored the backup half an hour later. Heres the full thread if you are interested;

Lol. I think a lot of people tried it out when it came out months ago. Yes WiFi does work but the other features can't be used.

Thanx for all for kind suggestions and replies........I appreciate u guys
I just got this thing and it's an amazing phone. I absolutely love it. But for the first time after having it for a few days, I decided to go on a lengthy drive only to realize that MY PHONE DOESN'T GET DATA!!!! I messed with the APN settings once I got back and got it to work with 3G, but I had no luck getting 4G LTE. I can get 4G LTE on my other phones, but was wondering if others have experience similar issues, and what have you guys done to resolve them.
Thanks
nope....no issue where i live.....

Yeah, it's just my area. I used the APN that I was using on my nexus 5 and am now getting data. It appears to be pretty similar to the stock one, so I'm confused as to why that one wasn't working for me.
Nexus 6p on nougat 7.0 every once in a while the LTE symbol disappears and I have no data. Only fix is to reset phone! Tried toggling cellular data, and toggling airplane mode, sonar it's worked once to return data. Otherwise power cycle returns data. Anyone else experiencing this! Phone is refurbished but has been working great. Just trying to figure out if this is software or hardware related....thanks.

Same here!
Via Nexus 6P
Every few days i see H+ but that's about it. No loss of data here and on Nougat 7.0
Did you do a Factory Reset after you updated? If you didn't I would recommend that if it persists.
LTE issues has been around for a long time. What carrier are you all using?

On T-Mobile here as well having the same issue, LTE will disappear and I'll get a notification saying Data Service is blocked and a reboot fixes it for a bit then I lose service again.
Mine in T-Mobile was doing it too...

Those LTE issues were fixed (for most anyway) a few security updates ago.

Am on the latest version of N and have been experiencing the LTE drop on AT&T for quite some time, even on previous versions of M.
Now my.freaking texts are starting to not go thru. Random. Only cure reboot. So battery sucks, losing data, and texts randomly fail. Ugh! I want a mr1 or marshmallow back!

The software itself yes, but carrier wise no.
T-Mobile has been having ongoing LTE issues for some time now in some areas. When I had my Note 5, had to constantly reboot to get LTE or any other data connectivity back.
I think it's only the T-Mobile and Project Fi (T-Mobile side) are having issues still.

Same here and when it happens, i use app lte on off app. Easy.
I have this same problem on TMO. If I try to use any radio higher than 2.50 (have tested all the way up to 3.75) my data will suddenly drop completely out of nowhere and not come back until I reboot. There seem to be certain areas near me that always make this happen when on those radios. I wonder if this is a regional issue or a hardware issue, doesn't seem to affect that many people.
I've also been dealing with issue. I'm almost certain it's an issue just with T-Mobile and maybe the phone communicating with towers. Went to d.c. not too long ago and didn't experience any issues but the same day I retuned to Pittsburgh the issue returned

My stock 7.1.1 6p on t-mobile has just recently been having this issue. I was considering factory resetting but my wife's 6p sometimes has the same issue so maybe it's t-mobile. But why would rebooting fix it? Is this still a problem for other people?

This issue seems to be occurring to me as well. T-mobile is my carrier. It is really annoying since the only way out is to hard reboot the phone. You can't go into airplane mode and turn it off to get a signal like normal. Not quite sure what the issue is. It has happened on both stock and flashed roms. I have tried to see look at a logcat of the problem but it is a bit above my technical understanding.
I'm on the latest radio and bootloader and the problem is still occurring.
I think it happens when:
- Going away from wifi-coverage
- Going into area with poor cellular coverage
It's possible that being on 2G/3G may avoid the issue, but of course the speed sucks. I just tried going on 2G/3G and toggled wifi a few times. So far, mobile data is still ok. But the instant I enable LTE, mobile data is loss. Switching down to 2G/3G doesn't help. So another possible cause is:
- Switching from 2G/3G
My guess is that there is a bug with the LTE code on the phone that got introduced with a recent update.
Has been happening recently to me too as of last week. Random connection dropping for a few seconds. Usually, it will reconnect quickly and it'll show full signal, then it might die, or it might stay connected.
