So I was having problems with my 3G connection the past few weeks, it just wouldn't turn on even though I had network reception. Calls, SMS etc. all working fine. I tried a few things as a fix work around but none of them worked.
Disable / Enable 3G - obviously
Turn off / on phone
Turn off, remove battery / on phone
Enable airplane mode, leave it on for a few mins then turn off
However, 3G just refused to activate. I was running Azure 1.0, not sure if that was the problem so I took the plunge and flashed Froyo (whitetigerdk's ROM) and to my delight 3G was working again.
But low and behold after a week or so I'm back to square one, exact same 3G issues. Is this a common problem? I presume that its software related but not 100% sure.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could try to resolve this issue once and for all?
Does anyone have any ideas?
Hi there, i've a galaxy s4 gt-i9505 since dec 2013 and i've been experiencing the wifi button stuck in dim green (wifi stuck with that activating ... Message and not working) and not working since ive bought it. It came originally with the android 4.3 stock rom. First i thought it could be a hardware problem but when i reset the phone to it factory settings wifi starts to work again. Ive noticed that if i stay with only one wifi network registred (the one i use to reconfig the phone during the first reset) the wifi works fine, but when i try to connect to a second wifi (any router) the problem arises and the only solution is to reset to factory settings again.
Ive read tons of people complaining about this problem but ive never heard of this second wifi netwrok issue... I dont know wether android loads a different config or modem driver for the first wifi network registred during the first boot but the problem only comes after i try to register a second one. Ive tried all wifi config like keep wifi on allways etc but nothing seems to solve the problem. Ive also tried the airplane toggle trick but didnt work. Ive tried other stock roms from other countries like germany dbt but always on android 4.3... Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Im on i9505vjuemke now...
Hi all,
This is my issue:
I'm 2 hours connected to a wifi network, I leave home or work and my nexus 4 does reconnecting with mobile data.
I have read many posts about this, on any roms, but none gives a clear solution.
I had CM12 and Chroma. The same error. I'm back to Stock Rom [5.1] from Google Factory image [clean] and issue persists.
Can you help me please?

Hmmmm. I think it was with the 4-10 version that I had the issue, and it may have been resolved with the 4-14 version. I just installed the 4-17 version, but haven't checked if the issue returned. I would try upgrading Chroma, if that is what you are still running.

I'm going to reinstall all apps in my n4 for now with stock ROM. I installed all updates from 4.2.2 image factory with OTA's up to 5.1, to night I still with wifi connection, if tomorrow the issue persists, I will install chroma again.
I got this problem too. I was running chroma, Cm12 and now euphoria and problem is still here. Full wipe doesn't work. In addition to the problems with reconnection I have also huge problem with msm_hsic_host wakelock and I think both problems are related to each other. I'll try different kernels, maybe it will work.

I installed stock kernel, and franco kernel. Same result.
My wife has Installed OTA yesterday and remains in wifi all night, today all works fine in her Nexus 4. In my Nexus 4 don't work.
Differences:
Wife: N4 8GB with simyo carrier
Me: N4 16GB with tuenti carrier
Any Ideas?
It seems that the problem occurs only when when you leave the WiFi area, and the phone loses its range. Its not switching connection. When you are connected to wifi and you try to turn it off manually (quick settings etc), it will switch to mobile data connection without problems.

is not it, when I spend three hours on wifi, manual transmission does not work. I put the SIM of another carrier works. Is an error with this SIM and this version of Android.
Hi gruncho,
I have exactly the same problem, also with a Nexus 4 from day 1 after installing 5.1. Mine has been installed OTA, having previously 5.0.1. My carrier is pepephone (now using Movistar) which I think is the same as tuenti, the one you have.
I reconnect without problems by changing between 2G / 3G or by selecting Airplane Mode On / Off.
If anyone knows a less manual solution or something I could try please tell.
Thanks a lot
Same issue here on stock 5.1, only reboot helps. Airplane mode, switching radio off, switching cellular data off and on doesn't help.
Can anyone provide some information how to fix this? Would be very grateful.
I flashed chroma rom 4-21. It is based on Android 5.1.1. The issue is solved on this version. I will use this rom until stock 5.1.1 launch.

If you have the phone rooted, you can install Trigger and create a task that activate airplane mode and deactivate that in a few seconds when you leave any wifi network. I tried this, but in my case, with an android wear device, the watch disconnects every time I leave my home or job wifi.
Hi,
Keeping my fingers crossed for the problem to be solved for everyone in 5.1.1
I thought about creating a task in Tasker that activated airplane mode and deactivated it in a few seconds later after leaving a wifi, but my experience with Tasker is almost null.
I found an application which seems to be working for me. Its name is WifiFixerFree and what it does is trigger a mobile connection for a few seconds, while still connected to wifi.
You can configure the connection interval. I have it set for every 15 minutes and it doesn't seen to drain a lot of battery. By default it shows a lot of notifications, but you can disable all them in one of the configuration screens.
Cannot yet post external links, but the application is in Google Play so it is easy to find from that name.
I installed the application yesterday and the problem has not repeated itself.

When you enter the app, check "Use auto reconnect" and set a trigger interval of N minutes (I wrote 15).
Press the button "Configure notifications" and uncheck the first option: "Show events in notification bar"
I just did that and since then (yesterday afternoon) I have had no more problems of losing the mobile data connection. During the last weekend and on Friday I had those problems every time I left home / work because the phone lost the wifi and so I lost the mobile data.

Thanks so much, tomorrow I will try this.
Today after flashing the kernel that come with chroma rom again, seems works. :good::good::good:
Same issue here, but I came from a Nexus 4 5.0.1 with LTE enabled.
The problem ocurrs when changing to data after too many hours in Wi-Fi connection (turning Wi-Fi off or leaving the Wi-Fi area).
I installed OTA Android 5.1, then the problem started.
I tried to install stock Android 5.1 factory image (with full wipe), but the problem still persist.
I executed the nexus-4-lte-enabler-v2.12-2.13-UNINSTALLER.zip thinking it's a related issue, but the problem still persists.
Waiting for Android 5.1.1...
I have Pepephone (Movistar) and I'm still using the manual workaround of turning airplane mode on/off or switching some data network setting to regain data connection.
Can anyone provide some information how to fix this?
Thanks a lot.

You can install Wifi fixer free from play store. This app has resolved the issue... Until google do something
Dear all,
I and my friend bought Samsung A8 a couple of days ago. We both are facing same call-drop issue.
We use BSNL prepaid SIMs and with default setting, whenever we change the mobile tower while talking, there is a squeaking digital noise and then the call drops. What I mean by default setting is, if you go Settings > Mobile Networks > Network Mode (BSNL in my case) > LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto connecct).
I have tried many sorts of tweaks over this. First, I replaced my SIM card with a new one for no result.
Then, I found one curious behaviour. That is, if you put Mobile Networks to anything that has auto connect, you get this squeaking sound and call-drop. If you put the mode to *-only mode, the problem is no more! as far as I think this whole issue started after I have applied some update (don't know which, but now it is running the latest update and problem persists). Also, I have also tried complete reset to no avail. My phone has no apps other than the default ones.
I have been fed up with this issue to the core and thinking of changing the phone. Will you help me solve this issue?
Thanks,
Vivek
Call drop on Samsung Galaxy A8
Hi Vivek,
I have a exactly similar experience with A8. In the auto mode there can be 3G to 2g Ho and calls drop. But in locked mode of any of 2g or 3G , no problem.
Btw, which android version you are running?
Did it start after you installed any app?
Did you try to downgrade the firmware if you have the latest one?
Rgds, Hasnat

Hi,
This is a problem in my friends device and he is out of town now. so I couldn't share.
Just to further confirm, you haven't faced this problem even when you are in auto connect mode, right? This is bit of strange.

Hi Vivek,
Can you please share your device android version and firmware version?
Hello,
I have a TicWatch Pro 3 LTE Ultra and I got an e-SIM from my operator (Orange France). It works ok with one minor detail : it seems that the LTE connection only gets established if I turn flight mode on and then off...
E.g. test situation : watch is connected via BT. I turn off BT and Wifi on the watch, and the LTE connection does not start.
I turn on and off flight mode and voilà, LTE connection is established.
Other test situation : I left home for a footing and after a while realized the watch had not connected to LTE. Turned flight mode on and off, and voilà, LTE connection is ok.
Is it normal behavior? Do I miss a config parameter somewhere? If it is normal, the least I can say is that it is not seamless...
Thanks for any help,

Hey, I faced the same situation as you and after some investigation, I figured out what was the cause in my case - maybe it will help you too. I use two SIMs in my phone - the main one is from T-Mobile, the second one is from Orange. It turned out that if my Orange SIM card isn't set as default FOR THE PHONE CALLS, the watch does not switch to LTE automatically (at the same time in the Wear OS app the option of the watch LTE connection disappears). Interestignly, the options of default SIM card for SMS and for mobile internet don't play the key role here. Let's check if this helps in your case, if not, maybe do a factory reset.
Also I found out that it may behave differently on a different ROMs - when I switched ROM to the other one, LTE on my watch enables automatically irrespective of which SIM card is set as default.
Thanks a lot for answering so fast ! I knew there should be someone out there with an opinion ;-)
I do have 2 SIMs on my phone. One is Orange (e-SIM on the phone as well, BTW) and the other is Bouygues.
I tried to configure Orange as default for calls, ran the same test but did not see an improvement.
I'll test more and see if after restarting everything, it gets better.
Thanks again for the answer, I'll report back right here after more tests.
Also, what ROMs are you talking about, please? ROM for the watch? Which ROM do you use? I have the standard one...
Update from the morning, I had a notification on my watch saying that the e-Sim was activated" (which it was already), and now it seems that the LTE connection establishes itself when and as it should !!
Thanks a lot @Lord Sithek !

Oh wow, I was just writing an answer to you Im glad you got it working. By the way, I was talking about the custom ROM on my phone (Xiaomi Mi Note 10). It's strange, but since I switched to the other one (namely, OcatviOS) the issue is gone, even though I set T-Mobile SIM as the default for everything. I didn't find a key to this mystery yet, but good that it works now
One thing that I observed when I was facing your issue is that when the Orange SIM card wasn't set as default for phone calls, the option in the WearOS app that I marked in the screenshot attached disappeared. Whenever Orange was set as default, it was appearing again. Maybe that will be some kind of clue for you and other users in the future.
Cheers
Thanks! I have to say that the the various effects config parameters _on the phone_ have on the watch are less than clear to me... everything but intuitive...
