Help with WiFi - Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers

Hello. I wanted to see if anyone could help me with the YouTube app and the play store. Theres a certain wifi that I use on my daily commute and the apps never works with that specific wifi! I've deleted the cache, restarted and disabled and enabled the apps again and nothing works

Is this WiFi that your vehicle provides? Have you tried any other app while connected to this WiFi?

You need a VPN, your WiFi there clearly blocks certain domains.

WiFi problem, dissconects all the time...

Hi!
Bought a Tattoo for my kid and now we got a huge bill because the wifi seems to dissconects itself all the time and she is not that good checking the wifi state.
Is this a known problem or what can i do about it?
Using a Netgear N router and WEP (must use WEP because of my stupid XBox that can't handle any other security).
Please let me know how to fix this so she can use the phone!
I have this problem too, and as I found it's a known problem on net.
I'm using wifi fixer, which running as a service and reconnect everytime the connection drops. It's not a solution, but make things better.

Hi!
Thanks for the info, is that an app i can find on the Android's app place?
he he he.... did not notice your link Sorry!
Looks to me that HTC is screwing things up even with Android devices...
This phone realy sucks!
Me again!
I've struggled with this phone a couple of hours now but i can't get the wifi to work now.
I press connect to my network, i have entered the wep password but a couple of secs later it says disconnected...
What can i do about this?
I have the same problem - Is it best to configure the Wi Fi settings like IP address etc ? And if so whats the best settings for it?
I've managed to get it to connect now, removed an app that kept track of wifi traffic. But it seems to me that Tattoo does not use wifi when i use YouTube for example. Checked my providers homepage for traffic that we pay for and they had traffic for today. And the phone has not been used all day until my test this evening.
Is there a way to tell the phone to use just the wifi connection when using youtube app or explorer...?

install apn on-off when you use wifi, just disable APN connection.
then if you need umts/gprs is 1click enabled

Thanks, this sounds easy enough for my kid to handle when she wants to use the wifi and to be sure that it uses the wifi and not the expensive data from our phone company.
Thanks again! Will try this!

[Q] Can AT&T monitor tethering on a rooted phone?

So I tried the wireless tethering built into CM 6.1 this week and it's awesome! However, I noticed that my data widget added a 3rd line marked T (the other two are W(ifi) and C(ell)...) it still shows 0bytes next to it though, so obviously it knew that I had activated the tether feature since it added the T line to the data counters, but since it didn't count any of that data in my data usage tracking does that mean I'm okay and AT&T can't see it? I don't want to incur additional charges for tethering. It's cool, but not THAT cool!
No they can't track it.
Cool, thanks.
This Is cool. I been messing around wwith it a lot. I tether wifi to my Xbox via network adapter. I can join live download updates and Facebook. Even voice chat but it wont even try to join a mw2 map. Just loads and loads. Something with Nat u belive but no one here can fix it.

Not really sure why this doesn't work. Are you joining a game or creating a game? I can see it not working if you're creating a game perhaps. By default, you can't even ping the phone's IP address which is a big issue if you're going to host anything (it's totally unreachable).
But, I have actually tethered my PC and played Left 4 Dead 2 without a hitch. All NAT does is route the client's IP to the hosts' IP (to the outside world). You shouldn't have to have the XBOX NAT'ed to join a game at all.. and if you do, well shame on Microsloth...
"If you are using a NAT or firewall, you will need to open (forward) two ports for incoming traffic if you are going to host games. If you are not going to host games, you may or may not need to open these ports, depending on how your NAT works. You will need to consult your NAT documentation for information for how to open (forward) ports."
We cannot forward ports at this time... it may be possible sometime with 3rd party software though. But like I said, you shouldn't have an issue just simply joining a game. Once a connection is established from your end, port forwarding is not an issue. Port forwarding is only for incoming traffic trying to establish a connection (for a server).
Ya I just try to join. Maybe it matters depending on edge or 3g? The reason I thought Nat was because I got message says Nat is not open and may make your experience not as good or what ever.

Is there a way to verify this? 911jason says his widget isn't picking up data usage while tethered, but I just tried both tethering and wifi hot spot and using 3G Watchdog, it most definitely showed usage on both.
It uses your data it just don't show up to at&t as tethered. Just like using it on your phone

Little help?
Okay, so I tried tethering and wifi hotspot for the first time today, just to check them out. Now when I connect to my computer and turn on USB storage, the drive doesn't show up. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
*EDIT* Restarting my computer did nothing, but restarting my phone seems to have fixed the problem. Weird.

The one I was referring to was Data counter widget but I also use 3G Watchdog.

What exactly do you mean with network crash?
What exactly happens to the other PCs in the network?
Just a guess, but it probably the firewall getting overloaded. I got the same on mine when downloading torrents. Try turn it off and see if it helps.

[BUG] WI-FI not working properly while bluetooth is ON

When I have bluetooth activated connected with any device, the wifi doesnt work properly. What i meant with this is the wifi signal and the network speed. Also the mobile data is not affected by this. So i would like to now if someone is having this problem too?

super slow apps via wifi on home network, works great using data or other networks

Hoping the community can help me troubleshoot this issue I'm having... on a new S10+ (SM-G975W) running OneUI 2.0 Android v10. I cannot seem to figure out why apps like DAZN, Sleeper, Pluto, Microsoft News, etc. all run extremely slow (if at all) using my home network wifi. I can literally open an app and it won't even load while I'm on my own wifi, however once I turn my wifi off and use data it loads instantly. Every time. When I'm on away wifi networks (work office, friends places, etc) it works perfectly. Other devices on my home wifi network work perfectly using wifi. Other apps on my phone seem to work without any issue while on wifi (insta, youtube, brave/chrome, google news, etc)... so the wifi certainly does work on this phone; I can do speed tests on fast.com and using the speedtest app and get great results.
I've tried:
- toggling between 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks
- resetting network settings on phone
- resetting network settings on my router (EA 7500 V2)
- forgetting/restarting rejoining wifi network
- hard resetting my router
- toggling various power mode options from high performance to optimized to medium
None of these have worked. I can't seem to figure this out. Does anyone have any ideas for what I can try to do to resolve this - it's driving me mad.
Any help here? Wrong place?
Maybe you could try to change channel of 2.4GHz and 5GHz wifi in your router. If it's possible, try tu put DNS of your IPS in router. Or try to change router for another one for test.
Thanks for the help... I have tried toggling betwwwn 2.4 and 5ghz settings. I will look up what the DNS would be and try that. Router seems fine - worked / works with everything else..it seems the issue is on my phone.
When I put my phone in airplane mode then take it off, the wifi works well for a.period of time. Then, it stops again.

Do you know of any? I cant find any to turn off.
Also, I have now hard reset both my router and my phone, still the same issue. DAZN wont even load on wifi. Works on other devices' wifi on the same network. Works with cellular data instantly.
Could it be my ISP that's blocking certain types of traffic?
The behaviour is so weird, for most apps it takes 20ish seconds before the wifi 'kicks in' and starts working. I have no throttling or other apps installed.
It also doesnt load certain online streams. Some work, but some dont, and if i switch to cellular they work perfectly.
PlutoTV is another app / stream that simply does not work while using wifi, but works using cellular.
So in summary:
- S10+ DAZN and PlutoTV apps definitely do not work over 5ghz wifi connection
- other phones using same apps on same wifi networks work pefectly
- I've hard-resetted my phone and router and it's still not solving the issue
so... what in the heck could this be?
Is the WiFi-Safe Mode enabled in the developer settings? If yes, try to disable it.
FYI - figured it out. By disabling IPv6 on my router it solved my issues. Hope this helps someone else in my situation.

Dude! You Rock! I've been trying to solve this conundrum for years. I never could figure out why apps would run better on slower cellular, than they would on fast wifi. This has made my streaming perfect. No more buffering. Thank you

Legend! This has been troubling me so much lately that I've stopped using Wi-Fi. Disabling IPv6 worked like a charm! Thanks so much.

Thankyou, was having weird behaviour on all android devices on my new ISP, disabling IPv6 on the router helped. Really interesting it seemed to affect only android (S23, S21, Google Home and Shield TV) but not windows, IOS or Mac.
