On my Galaxy Note 3, when at home I am connected to my WIFI. When I leave the house or switch off my WIFI the phone seems unable to connect to the network (in this case Three) and the browser, email and any other data apps state they cannot connect to the Internet.
The only way to resolve it is to switch on Flight Mode and then turn it off again. I saw a comment in the reviews for the Note 3's keyboard fix that one other person is experiencing the same as me.
Is anyone else having this problem and do you know of a permanent fix? The only info I can find is a similar issue on the Note 2 at time of launch which look to have been corrected by a patch.
i have this problem so i flashed h3g uk firmware and it kept failing, so i flashed back to uk btu firmware and im stuck with the exact same problem. no idea how to fix either,
p.s my problem only seems to be with google now, play store and sometimes on any app that uses internet i get news feed error no connection ect..
I am on Three network and mine works OK.

Solution
I think I have found a work around to this annoying problem. It was losing the ability to use any data when I left a WIFI spot I was connected to, or when out and about and the phone picked up an open WIFI spot. None of the WIFI advanced options made any difference. It would affect 3G data too, I'd lose all data access until I toggled Flight mode off & on...that was the only way I could get it working again other than restart the phone.
I found a post about a similar issue with the Note 2 when it was first released and it mentioned a WIFI power saving mode. It turns out you can get to this from the SeviceMode screen by dialing this number *#0011# (ServiceMode will start as soon as you enter the second #) - assume it is the same for all. Once in ServiceMode, tap the menu button and chose WIFI. You will then see a WIFI Power Save Mode label with a button underneath. Tap the button to set it to OFF.
I've been testing this all day, normally I'd lose data at least three times, sometimes more, while travelling but so far today everything has worked flawlessly ... no loss of data connectivity. From what I have been reading, switching off power save mode does not affect battery life despite what you might think and I've not noticed any unusual battery drain today so far. So if you are experiencing the same annoying loss of data, try this before you take your phone back. Hopefully this is a software issue that will be fixed in the future.
I swapped the phone
Hi,
I had something similar, except it wasnt wifi related, it happened after I lost the signal for a while (eg, in a lift/elevator).
I tried a new simcard, and that didnt help (also Three UK).
Then I got the handset swapped for a new one at carphonewarehouse, and it fixed the issue, so I put it down to a lemon unit.
cheers

on my s4 and n3 i did more than 10 tests each on wifi and 3g with phones simultaeneously, both on same network, both held in my either hands, both using speedtest both connecting to same server, both on the three network sims on the one plan with unlimited internet including tethering (both pans in my name), same location, same times tests were done.
both on 3g and wifi the n3 is MUCH MUCH slower than the s4 both on three network and same wifi
********************* on wifi on 3G
S4 PING TIME 32 to 173 66 to 86
N3 Ping Time 30 - 37 73 to 1110
S4 upload speeds 8 to 17.79mbps 1.65 to 2.27
N3 upload speeds 7.11 to 12.58 1.74 to 3.77
s4 download speeds 17.79 to 22.38 6.61 tp 7.68
N3 download speeds 7.93 to 12.58 mbps 0.92 to 8.04
the numbers are not just it, even during speed tests i was losing wifi connection on the N3 a couple of times and see the same happening on streaming youtube where it keeps stalling on wifi unlike the s4. surely there is something wrong with the hardware of firmware
Looks like the WIFI setting only helped and it has not solved my problem. l now lose network data connection less often when leaving a wifi zone but it still happens. More worryingly on two occasions now I have lost all access to three including calls, texts and data. Toggling Airplane mode brings everything back to life but this makes the service unreliable.
Sometime I also have this problem. This is similar to when I went overseas, I turned off the data roaming, but it always unable to connect to data when I returned. Usually I have to reboot it.
same problem
Same problem any one can help without custom rom

Just got this alert as it was in my spam box hence the late reply.
Had done this comparison video of the note 3 versus nexus 5 WiFi speeds on same router and nexus 5 was giving speeds of up to 50 Mbps and the Samsung galaxy note 3 was giving 0.5mbps plus drop outs! See video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-XvFPwTAGA
The router works fine with my 3 nexus 7 tablets, 3 Tegra note 7 tablets, Samsung galaxy note (original), 2x android mini PC, 2x smart TV's from Sony and LG, 2x smart bluray players from Sony and LG, laptop, smart camera from Samsung, Panasonic stranger, my NAS drives, 2x old HTC desire phones, a few other old phones from Sony and Nokia and media player from samsung and archos, the only device that ever had a problem with any Router is this Samsung galaxy note 3.
Main problem happens when there are open WiFi networks around our you have selected the auto detect in settings. Here is the solution https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjL8JbSQCvw and now I get 50mbps with same phone and router! So it was **** Samsung software to blame!
Now I have triple sim adapter in phone and all three give me 3g signal in Many areas.

I have a Note 3 and this always happens to me when I return from travel overseas. I turn off mobile data and data roaming and use Wifi, but am never able to reconnect when I return. The first time I fixed this by rebooting. This time I tried restarting my phone, removing the battery, turning off Wifi Power Saving Mode by dialing *#0011#. Fortunately I was able to fix the problem simply by toggling Airplane mode without having to reboot. Hope this helps.

Hey guys. Hope you guys can help me out here. We have Wifi at our college and I use Redmi note 3g and my friend who sits right next to me has redmi note 4g. My friend who has note 4g has higher download speed than me in everything(play store, torrents, browser downloads, etc) while mine is very slow. When downloading apps in play store he gets around 2mbps while I get around 30kbps. Another guy who sits two benches in front of me who uses note 4g gets the same speed as my friend. When I checked their wifi options they had an option in advance settings where they can change their wifi band while my phone doesn't have that feature. Other phone users get same speed as me. The guy who sits in the bench ahead me uses iPhone 5s and he has download speeds same as me(around 30kbps). So why do note 4g users have high download speeds than note 3g? Is there a way by which I can get the same download speed as they do?. The wifi router is around 10m away from me. Me and my friend use the latest miui 7 versions.
bro wifi limited speed happened often after flashing a new rom and somtime no happened , but if it happened whats the solution?
i do this :
1.wipe dalvik cache
2.pull out ur battery and turn off the modem for 30 min
3.cut off the lan wire from modem
4.turn on ur phone
5.turn on the modem(ur phone should connected,no more device,just ur phone)
6.it will be ok
Hello!
I've just receive the Honor Band 4 (in Chinese version by default). I've downloaded the app Huawei Health but It's impossible to connect via Bluetooth. Any ideas?
Can someone help me, please?
Thanks a lot!
Is there a English language version or it's just Chinese by default for non-supported languages\regions?

The language will change to your phone's default once you pair your phone and band through official huawei health app.

I have a Huawei Band 3 and when my phone is in my native(serbian) laguage or any other language that band 3 dont support the bracelet switch to chinese, and when my phone is set to english the bracelet is in english. I assume there is a band 4 english default version for unsupported languages instead of chinese like band 3 but I need confirmation from someone who actualy have it.

I don't mind to have my band in english but I don't want to keep my phone in english just to have band in english. I have wrote honor and they are aware of this issue and I'm not the only one with this problem. So I'm asking before I waste my money again is there a same problem with Honor Band 4?

I could connect just fine to my Oneplus 6.
Which phone and Bluetooth version do you have? Maybe there are not compatibility... I think honor Band 4 has Bluetooth 4.2 (I'm not sure). I own a Huawei Mate 9 and I could connect without any problem
Change your phone language to English. First your app needs to update it self (it does that automatically once you click the + in the top right corner) so you can actually see the band 4 in the list. Once the update is completed then chose band 4 and wait again to download updates first to the phone and then transfer it to the band 4. Only then will you be able to use it.
I have same problem, my band 4 is in chinese language. My LG G6 phone and Huawei Health app are in english. When I open app and tap on plus sign - no honor band 4 is shown in possible devices list. I've tried to connect USA/RUS VPNs and no success.
In Band 4 are only chinese chars. I've translated (google translate) all texts into english and no text contains something as "pair".
I've checked all avail. bluetooth devices in my phone and no band 4 device was found.
I've in my phone honor band 2 device which is worked correctly.
Any idea how to connect band 4 with phone or start band without phone?
I've tested with Samsung S8 and Huawei P9 - same problem as above with LG phone.

SOLVED!
I've start NFC in my mobile, band must be very close to mobile. Launched huawei health, add device and after 1 minute device list was refreshed. Band 4 is in list and pairing is done correctly. This is solution when device is not i list in huawei health.
Just using Huawei Health to connect HB4. Open Health, choose smartband, waiting it update newest devices and you will get Band 4 selection.
This band is much better than Mi Band 3. I'm quite happy with it. Just finding how to display notification content directly on band screen when it pushed

Three days ago I received my Honor band 4 without NFC, and had the same problem to pair with the Huawei Mate 10 Pro.
Mate 10 Pro did not even recognize the smartband, and had the application "Huawei health" and "Huawei mobile services" with the latest update.
I experimented with other equipment and only OnePlus One recognized Band 4.
Band 4 included the firmware version 1.0.0.68, installed the above mentioned applications in the OPO and after pairing the band 4 updated the firmware to 1.0.0.86, with bluetooth improvements.
I unpaired the band 4 of the OPO and only thus the Mate 10 Pro recognized the smartband, and since then to function perfectly
I had same experience.
With Huawei Honor note 10 - no connection.
Than I have tried Lenovo Vibe P1 - no connection.
And luckily with Dooge Mix 2 - I hade connection and after upgraiding of the Honor Band 4 firmware , it starts working.

The device is supporting Portugese, Italian, German and English. Other language/region settings will swiychbthe honor band 4 into English.
What a failure Huawei makes!
So far Huawei is refusing to bring out a firmware upgrade to repair their failure.
according to disclaimer that comes along with the honor band 4 box, only below countries support local language: EN/US, RU, ES, PL, FR, IT and DE. If your phone language is without region(country) setting, and you set one of above 7 lanauges as phone language, the device shows phone language regardless where you are. If not as above, the device shows ENGLISH except China region.
In order to pair the band with phone, you need to download the app, Huawei Health and pair on the app.
My phone's language is not supported by the bracelet, but it switches to chinese instead of english. If I set phone to english - same does the bracelet. Just after I set phone to my native language, bracelet goes back to bloody chinese. Is it solvable, or I should just put it under the hammer?

Anyone know how to do this?
Its kinda annoying you have to scroll down to message when the band vibrate
Works!
Thanks to your tips and workarounds I managed to update the band 4 to newest firmware version 1.0.0.86 with honor 7X smartphone. But my HTC U11 Life still not recognizes the band 4. Health app and services are up to date. My band 3 worked flawlessly.
Don't know what to do now...
Ok, it works. My HTC U11 Life just updated to Android 9.0 (Pie). Seems that the Huawei Health app did not even try to update the devices list. I cleared app cache several times and reinstalled. Today I removed Huawei Health and Health Services from battery optimization. After that the Health app updated devices and recognized Band 4 without troubles.
Glad to have a working Band now... :victory:
Sorry to misuse this topic, but I am looking into buying the Honor Band 4 and have a question...
According to Honor website, the Honor Band 3 supports to track runs using phone's GPS only for iOS and EMUI (Huawei/Honor) devices. I couldn't find any information regarding Band 4. So can you use your GPS for tracking in your Android phone? Additionally, I found conflicting information on music control support. Does this work? Thanks.

I used to track my mountainbike rides with band 3 and also do so with band 4 on HTC phone. It tracks with phone's GPS. I didn't find a way to extract GPS tracks from phone. It's only available for viewing in Huawei Health app with minor statistics e.g. no elevation information...
Music control don't know, sorry...but think it's not possible

One more question:
Is it possible to have heart rate measurements at certain intervals or only continuously?
Thanks!
How good is hear rate rate monitor in this band?
Does Endomondo (and other apps) see it as HRM?
How often does continuous HRM measures hear rate? Is it every 1-2 sec like regular chest HRM, or every 1 minute like "continuous" in Mi Band 3.
Is HRM +- as accurate as chest band? I had Mi Band 2 and it was not accurate at all, like +- 30 beats difference to chest HRM
My poland chest band just stopped working and i wonder if should buy new one or give a try to a smartband , like honor band 4.
My only need from smartwatch/smartband is to display accurate pulse in app and on watch face.
Hello.
I've got a problem with my Honor band 5.
After leaving range of my mobile bluetooth, band lost connection.
But the connection won't be reestablihed after return to the range. I have to turn at least locksreen on, to reestablish it.
I think this is uncorrect behavior.
My previous Xiomi band 2 doesn't have problem with this. Even in a car - when enter, I don't have to do nothing and connection to handsfree is established.
My phone is samsung s9.
Where can be a problem?
I have the same problem. The band will only reconnect if you turn on the GPS signal.
Thanks for answer but this doesn't help.
No matter, if GPS is on or off.
I'll try it on another phone, I've got an old ZTE Axon mini here...
EDIT: It ends as same behavior. So issue is not caused by phone, but by band. Or by Huawei health App.
I think it is caused by health app. So I can't do nohing, unless Huawei fix it. Until this - my band is useless.

Do you update it?
Yes, there was an update at the end of the february.
Unfortunattely, it doesnt help.
Now it seems it is samsung issue...
I've tried band with two other phones (ZTE Z17 mini and some old Xiaomi) and band reconnect right after returning to phone range.
On both phones...
And I tried on another Samsung S9 and same problem.
I'm bit confused now.
I use a Samsung S8 and my Huawei band 4 PRO reconnects automatically as soon as I get back to Bluetooth range.

Hi, I create similar case on new subject:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sm...nor-band-5-alternative-health-health-t4091481
I invite you to discussion
The huawei health app notification must be enabled on the phone.
Hi All,
The problem is that the hotspot (2.4 GHz, Device identification:default, security WPA2-Personal) is correctly seen by the laptops but there is no internet connection. I received the Mi 9T last week and it's a great phone except for the hotspot not working properly. I received it with the global version installed, I did all the usual updates up to MIUI V11.0.4 (QFJMIXM).
On the Macbook Pro (Retina 2015, Mojave 14.6) there is a very slow, barely usable, connection which is confirmed by the MCS index = 0, despite the strong signal (RSSI= -26 dBm). Under the WiFi information on the Mac, the country code is missing and the transmission channel is usually an unusaul value (3, 7 or 8 I noticed). For comparison, when using the hotspot function in another Android phone (Honor 8X with stock ROM) with the same SIM card , the MCS index is 7, the country code is correct, the transmission channel is 6 or 11, and the download/upload is around 20 Mbps.
When using a Dell laptop (Windows 10), the laptop connects to the MI 9T hotspot and has an IP but the pages are not even loaded. Funny enough, when both laptops are connected to the wifi created by the MI 9T, they can ping each other correctly.
The data rates on the Mi 9T over 4G are really fast (>40 Mbps). The Honor 8X works perfectly when connected to the MI 9T, with rates > 20Mbps.
Reading other discussions online, someone fixed it with
Code:
adb shell settings put global tether_dun_required 0
I checked the correct value after rebooting (zero as expected) but still no/slow internet on the laptops. Same with adding DUN in the APN type. I also tried to change the SIM from slot 1 to 2, no difference at all.
As a last desperate chance, I unlocked the boootloader and flashed the European version (QFJEUXM) with TWRP. The flash was perfect, but the problem is still there exactly as described above with the Global ROM.
Is anyone else having a similar problem? Do you think that other ROM (Pixel Experience, LineageOS, etc.) may fix this?
I'd really like to keep the phone because the hardware is amazing, but the overall experience is quite a pain with such a limitation on the hotspot function.
Hope someone can finally fix this
Used hotspot many times with notebooks, phones, consoles nad never had a problem. you could try to set cellular settings manually. I'm on 11.0.4 also Lineage worked ok
Yes thanks, I tried to use the same APN settings of the other android phone with the same SIM, still same problem.
Update: I have upgraded to the latest weekly ROM (MIUI 11.2 20.3.26), unfortunately the country code is still X3 when using the hotspot, both at 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz. The only difference is that at 2.4 GHz the MCS level is 0 (even if internet works normally) and with the 5 GHz setting the MCS is 7 or 8. In both cases internet works fine, but the country code is an issue with the firewall on other devices.
Any suggestion or help is greatly appreciated as I really need the hotspot function to work as per the other Android phone!
