Hi all,
Sometimes while opening apps that require the net sometimes i get that there's no connectivity and all.
But i can see the "E" in the notification bar but no download activity on it (the red arrow).
So is it with the handset or with the operator ?
I think may be it is due to operator
Mostly due to the poor signal quality!! Did you get the apn settings automatically or typed manually?
It happens with 2-3 times a day often in odd hrs like 1am or 5am but after 10 mins its back again, this just happened with me today morning. I complained to vodafone & they said the at times the cell tower is overloaded or some corn jobs are running automatically hence for few mins this happens.
When i was trying 3g for a month i don't remember any such thing happening at that time.

Signal strength remain the same but data connection gets halted, I got the apn automatically though I can do that manually too.

Signal was full everytime.
I typed the settings manually.
Since we both are vodafone users I think its vodafone issue.

i guess so. irritating to the core though
Its a common issue. I'm on airtel 3G in bangalore. in fact many a times while browsing, if you wait long time on a page , you might also encounter such issues. To over come this, I use mobile guard, whose widget slow me to disable the gprs and re enable it again. The issue will be resolved. Same problem I have experienced on my I5700 also.you may also use any other widget which allow you to do this.

What are the settings that you are using? I completely agree that it is very irritating. I am facing a hardtime downloading even a 700KB file (Marketplace) since I just reinstalled 6.5 on HD2 just now.
As several people have experienced, when upgrading their HTC One S to the 4.0.4 update, FoxFi (wireless hotspot program that doesn't require root) has experienced some issues. It works and works well, but when the screen times out, it stops transferring data to the connected device. Keeping the screen from turning off is NOT a permanent solution, so I am asking for suggestions and/or proven solutions to this issue.
HOWEVER! There are some restrictions for the solutions I want to see:
-Do not want to require rooting the phone or flashing a ROM. I consider that the easy way out.
-Do not want to downgrade to the previous version. The update does have some nice advantages that I like. Also would be an easy way out.
So if you have any settings that I should be looking at, or software that could be working in the background that might cause it, I'm all ears. If T-Mobile/HTC release a patch, I'll download it.
So.... any ideas?
You can't downgrade from 4.0.4, or for that fact any software update, you can't downgrade. It's one of the consequences of being on T-Mobile 4.0.4 update.
I don't think there's a way, apart from connecting your phone to your computer via usb, and selecting "stay awake" mode.

Well, the WiFi works fine until the screen turns off. I can keep the screen from turning off so that's not a big deal.
And I included mention of a downgrade just because I wanted to head off anyone trying to suggest that.
I'm not giving up on this. There's either a setting that the phone defaults back to, or a patch that should update this.

I agree with you that there has to be away to get it working again. The other 2 recent radios out of Europe exhibited this same behavior on AOSP based roms. However, it behaved correctly on Sense based roms ie. Stock or Viper rom.
I think the easiest way to get the functionally back is to flash on Viper Rom and test if it works there. If it does then T-mobile just screwed up their rom or did it on purpose. If it doesn't work then that opens up a whole other issue.
I'm not about to flash my phone in specific (It's my primary phone and I can't afford to have it out of comission if I make a mistake), but if someone can provide that information it would be useful.
yeah this is a very odd problem with foxfi...I wonder how it shuts off the connection when the screen turns off. also why were you guys using foxfi before if you could just add a new apn and the hotspot worked fine? Now the new apn method does not work after the update though.

Yes FoxFi worked correctly on 4.03, there is a hitch to the data shuttng off once the screen cuts off. If you are say watching netflix with a constant data draw from the one s, the screen can tun off and you'll still be tethered, but once the constant data draw stops so does the data until screen comes back on.
You guys doing something special to connect with foxfi? I can connect to my phone when I turn it on, but the computer I'm trying to tether to always says no Internet. I can live with the screen time out, but I can't get it to work at all sense the update.
Edit: I can't connect to Foxfi at all from my computer.
Edit2: I uninstalled And reinstalled foxfi, now it's working!
I have a similar problem, ie. not related specifically to tethering but in general to wifi stopping working with screen off.
I opened up terminal emulator, chose menu>activate wake lock and voilà! Everything's working fine for me now! :good:
Try it out and hit thanks if helped!

For me data still stops while tethered when screen goes off unless it's a constant data pull.
Go to settings tap WiFi open menu go to advanced select keep WiFi on during sleep and set it to always let me know if this works

FoxFi never required the new APN method to work previously. In 4.0.3, I never even heard of the new APN method, but still got it to work.

Well, on the HTC One S I could just set the screen to not time out. that seems to accomplish the same goal, would it not?
Yeah you can do that.
Mine works ok too while the screen is on.
But while the screen is on it is taking much more power to a process that already takes alot of power from the phone.

well since foxfi turns on wifi to do the wifi hotspot, then maybe it is related to this problem. do you have to root your phone to open up a terminal emulator or did you just have to download a terminal emulator app to do that?

yeah...adding a new APN worked with the built-in hotspot so no extra apps were even needed to use the hotspot. That method worked on the Amaze and then on the One S before the 4.04 update.

Nope, root is not required. Just download "android terminal emulator" from the play store and choose wake lock from the menu. There is also wifi lock if you wanna try. Wake lock is sufficient for me though.
Yeah I tried using the take wake lock option in terminal emu on t-mo us one s and it won't work still even with that being on.

Well, I'm assuming that wakelock would keep the screen on. I don't know if it would do anything else.
My Verizon Galaxy S3 has been dropping its data connection since the update a few days ago. Sometimes it's been an hour or more before it's restored, other times it drops to 3G briefly before returning to 4G. I'm also noticing reduced battery life, which is almost certainly caused by the data problem.
The internet is abuzz with others reporting the same problems and tech support tells me that they're aware of the issue and are waiting for Samsung to put out a fix.
I seemed to have the same problems as you described and doing a sim card pull then battery pull and put back in and the phone will reboot. Then wait 5-10 min and put back in the sim card and then reset phone. When phone reboots change to cdma/lte in the network settings and reboot again.
Data seems to work about as good as previous update. And best part is you don't have to factory reset. I am going to take a wild guess that the lte authentication is having problems with the update and resetting the sim card on the network clears things up. Try this and report back if it works or not.
Almost forgot the new caller id app may have something to do with these data freezes as well. What you do is go into settings, application manager, scroll over to all category and head down to caller name id and click on it. Then clear data, disable and finally hit force stop. You might want to reboot after this but it should stop it from running. It's a pos rip off and you can get a free app that does the same.
**After a couple days testing it appears that this caller id app is the main source of problems. I have ran global and cdma/lte settings and data gets locked up constantly when this app is left to run. If you can't get on 4g at all since update you need to do the following first and foremost. Settings, more settings, mobile networks, access point names and make sure lte-verizon internet is check. I have seen this setting uncheck itself so double check it please.**
Tried and it did nothing for me. 5 minutes after following your directions, my phone dropped data again.
Thanks though.
I'm in the middle of a chat with a Samsung rep and they're system doesn't even show this update being released....lol.
Do settings, about phone, status under signal strength what does that read?
-106 dBm 32 asu
I do have a 4G connection right now.
That is a pretty low signal for 4g lte. I am gonna assume that you had drops prior to this software update but they where a lot more rare?
No, never.

Well there really is only one other thing to do an it's a factory reset. Odds are it won't help since others have tried it and it did nothing for them. Otherwise we get the fun process of waiting multiple months for a fix.
Just wanted to give a heads up. I originally thought you could uninstall the new caller id bloatware but it appears it only uninstalls the icon from the drawer so you still have to go into application manager and disable it because it turns itself back on after uninstalling.

Still on the older version. The LTE signal is marginal where I am. I routinely get between -106 and -112 with 2 bars, and I never lose my 4G signal and the download almost always tests at 8Mbps or greater. At work, I have all but one bar, and my signal is 88.
A signal of -106 does not mean that the phone will lose the 4G signal. I rarely drop until I get to around -118. Though I'm sure that these phones could have a stronger signal than they do, they seem to hold on to a signal pretty well.
I haven't lost my data since disabling the caller ID app.

Yeah it's the same for me. When I realized that turning on wifi that 4g lte would stay on I knew this app was tied into the radio. And being made by verizon I had a funny feeling this would be of the lowest quality.
Hi guys,
I'm using moto g for about 2 weeks and everything was fine until yesterday. I will try to explain what I've chronologically. My phone isn't rooted. Android 4.4.2, 174.44.9.falcon_umta.Retail.en.GB, KLB20.9-1.10-1.9
For last few days I was testing some battery stretching apps, such as Juice Defender, 2x Battery, GreenPower and maybe one more, but I don't remember the name.Finally I've bought Juice Defender Plus as that app was something that I needed (control mobile and wifi in an intelligent way, but that's not the point). Before JD I've uninstalled other battery aps (but without reverting their settings to defaults). Then I've installed JD, configured it and started to learn JD with my wifi network, whatever.
Next day I went to work and I'm not sure if mobile network was working or not, but wifi network was ok. Updates, synch, etc. was working well. I've installed 2-3 new apps (don't remember, but it was camera360, total commander with few plugins, and maybe something more). Then I've left wifi network, entered car and connected with mobile network. From this point everything stopped to work. There was no connection to any site, no synch from google, weather, and so on. Icon on top of the screen informed me that connection is online (with H or H+, sometimes worse, but probably it doesn't matter). I've tried to connect with many apps to Internet, but none of them succeeded... I thought that maybe there is something wrong with mobile and after that, when I get back to wifi coverage, everything will rise and shine.
Unfortunately when I get back to wifi zone, phone found new network and connected to it. It doesn't matter what network it is, because few days ago I was working with that wifi net and more on that, laptop connected to that network works like a charm. As I said, connected, data transfer in 3g watchdog shows very little net usage (about 200-300B/s). Can't load web pages, can't sync. The same behavior as in mobile, there is connection, very little data usage, but nothing more, no web pages, no sync, etc..
I've restarted phone many times, entered in airplane mode, removed, cleaned and inserted back the sim card - none helped. I've checked ip, gateway and dns which came from dhcp router in wifi network. Everything was fine, addresses were the "same" as my laptop (beside ip address, which was different). I've checked what's up with JD, then I've disabled it, uninstalled..., checked transfer limit for mobile, turned on and off mobile, wifi in many ways. Checked proxy in browser (chrome).
The result was always the SAME.
in chrome: entered address, page starts to load, nothing shows and stalls, after a little while (tens of seconds) there was a message telling me something like: page is unavailable (I can't remember the right message).
in gmail: sync lasts forever, when I send email (to myself) it popups message about sending, but it disappears in a while, a no new email...
other apps, for example, weather on main screen, sync could last to eternity, and no new data.
Today, after whole day without wifi coverage I went back to wifi zone and tried to connect to it... and all emails, sync, whatsup and so on, updated. I think that, I didn't change nothing, but why wifi started to work? I don't know.
I've checked if mobile Internet works as it should, but without any positive results. In mobile there is the same problem as for a last 2 days...
Does someone know any solution to my problem?
PS: I've even tried to enter ip address of wp.pl host, and then phone redirected me to address: 194.9.223.70/ns/cs/deny.html?trx=...something&tpd=3&ts=somenumber&sid=HTTP_DRSTD&url=...mobile[dot]orange[dot]pl
Are you able to send & receive calls? Have you checked your APN as well? Wondering if one of the apps you've tried has changed a setting or set itself as some kind of proxy that your phone's still trying to use even though you've uninstalled it.....not sure......had a similar experience when I tried out a firewall app & removed it without disabling the settings it applied. Can't think of anything else, sorry mate

Yes, sms and calls works fine. APN is okey, moment ago I've sent configuration sms for internet apn from my operator. I know that it could be one of my apps, which I've uninstalled, but I don' know which one it was .
Might be worth checking device administrators in settings as well just in case the culprits there? Good luck

Factory reset. That way you start from scratch and if still a problem you can rule out any apps or incorrect config etc. Its the easiest way to narrow down the issue.

maybe it's the easiest way, but I think it's not an option if I want to know what was wrong...
Sounds like one of the apps is the problem, as you already suspect. You may have to concede and do a factory reset:
Settings > Backup & reset > Factory data reset
Please make some effort... factory reset is not the first thing to do when sth is wrong.

I suggested a factory reset as this then rules out all apps and config you have setup. If the problem still happens after a factory reset then you have narrowed down the problem a lot. Possibly it will just fix it though.
However if you want to find the cause of the issue then factory resetting is not the best thing to do as you say. But you seem to have installed a whole bunch of apps in a short space of time so even if you find the problem I doubt you will be able to find out why it happened, ie which app caused it.
You will maybe fix it but never know what caused it or how to prevent it again.
If you factory reset and it fixes it you can take things more slowly this time, is install apps and configure more slowly until you hit the problem, then its easier to see what caused it.
As there was no chance to get other suggestions than "do factory reset" , I've made factory default. Unfortunately, without any change in my problem. Right now wifi works fine, but 3g/data is dead. I've checked my sim card in another phone and 3g/data didn't work too. So I've called to my telco and heard that everything is ok, but probably my sim card is damaged and that's why my data connection is dead. I will try to get new sim card tomorrow.

So those of us suggesting a factory reset were correct then. Had you not reset you would have spent wasted time trying to fix what now appears to be a sim card error. Possibly best not to tell people to 'make an effort' when they are trying to help.
Hi everyone,
Just wondering if anyone's had issues with their data not working after while and require a reboot/airplane mode to work again?
I've noticed it both with Wifi and also with Mobile Data where one minute it'll work, and then suddenly I'll lose signal and need to reboot or switch on/off airplane mode a few times before it connects again.
Thanks!
Nope, haven't noticed anything like that yet. Is this happening on LTE or H/H+?
Nope. Do you have Chinese imported or International version?
Not stop, just slow...
Oneplus arrived from China and CM 11 was installed OK. For over a week everything has been fine using Virgin network in the UK.
Since yesterday though the data has been rather slow when browsing or using apps that require a connection.
When switching the data on the phone does recognise between 3g/H/H+ but when trying to load anything it is far slower than what it has been before.
I've tried clearing the cache and even clearing data but to no avail. Tried a factory reset last night and thought it was OK for a bit but today the same thing...
When using the browser pages will load but the blue loading bar at the top never moves past the first centimeter. (Doesn't move when using WiFi either though speed is finewhen using that).
Already contacted Virgin in case there were any issues but say the service is fine.
Any advice for troubleshooting or things to check would be appreciated.
Cheers

Another reset and browser OK... Haven't done any updates or or signed in to Google account or reinstalled any apps. I think a slow and steady install of what I want and syncing to see if there's a clash somewhere. Hmmm, not happy at all

I have had it where chrome wouldn't load webpages, usually it would start working again after a minute or two.
*sigh*... Thought things were fine last night but using it now its back to being slow again. No idea what's going on. Main update I had to install was Play Services. Chrome seemed a little funny so decided to roll it back at at the time things were alright but using it now its annoying. Took about 4 minutes to download a 3.5 meg file whereas it should breeze through it. I'm not expecting miracles but past experience was far better. Don't know whether there's anything I can do or just raise an issue with my original supplier.

Strange.. for me, it's been both H/H+, LTE and Wifi that have had it happen to me..
Also, it's not the Chinese version. It's the International version I got from Oneplus. Lately it's been ok, but we'll see how it goes..
APN settings ok?
Do you have your preferred network set correctly?
Personally I've noticed no difference. Its set as EE by default but manually added Virgin's own to try.
Been working quickly enough again without rhyme nor reason.

I can confirm the same happening to me... I'm on WIND Mobile in Ontario, Canada. It won't show that you lost the connection, things just stop loading... and the only way to fix it is to toggle airplane. It happens quite often, like a few times an hour. It's definitely a software issue that I'm hoping will be worked out in future updates, or maybe I'll have better luck with another ROM.

I've noticed it a few times where I'll swipe to the left (using Google launcher) and Google Now will indicate there is no internet connection even though I'm in an area with solid coverage. Usually if I swipe down a few times to refresh it will reconnect and update. Today however I had to reboot to reconnect. I have already checked my APN and it's fine. Did not have this issue even once with my Nexus 5 or my OPPO 7A I've been using. I'm going to check the CM bug log to see if it's been reported there.
I*have the same issue. Seems to happen when the 4g signal is weak and the handover to 3g does not happen. Then signal is lost instead.
I changed my APN now, but don't think it will matter... I'll give it a go. Using Franco kernel now, but is probably baseband related. Never had issues with my g2 previously on same location and APN.
In Norway BTW...reboot solve the problem temporarily
I have the same problem. My data connection will just stop at random and Facebook and Google now won't refresh, YouTube videos will suddenly stop playing, and upon hitting retry I'll get an error in both the playback screen and comments, and also the speedtest app won't finish preparing the test when I go to verify that my data connection is severed. I would have to restart in order to get data working again. I do get LTE speeds when it works, but it seems that the OPO takes longer to ramp up to those speeds compared to my Nexus 5 if that makes any sense?
