Hello,
I discovered a problem with Desire S after installing official update to Android 2.3.5.
When I turn on Wi-Fi hotspot on the device, mobile GPRS/EDGE connection turns off. I haven't had chance to try it with 3G network, only with GPRS/EDGE. It wasn't happened before update.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Just found bug report. The same issue reproduced on Nexus S.
Sorry, as a new user I'm not permitted to post outside links. The report can be easily googled by number "Issue 19780: In version 2.3.6 with the Nexus S, Tethering is not possible"
The issue has been solved in the next update for Nexus S. So, what about Desire S?
I am having a similar issue aswell
I've just done factory reset and luckily it solved the issue.

When I leave a wifi network (physically), instead of the phone recognizing that it's no longer got a wifi connection and flipping to LTE, it thinks it's still on a wifi network.
The only way for me to get my connection back is to temporarily toggle wifi off. Both Wifi and LTE seem to work fine otherwise.
Anyone else experience this?
Very common bug. Hoping an ota comes out soon.

Appologies, my searches didn't turn anything up somehow. Need to take Google 101 again, I suppose.
Good to know I'm not alone with this bug.
I am having a serious Wi-Fi issue with my sensation 4G.
When i turn on Wi-Fi, it shows a list of available networks for about 5 seconds and then all available networks go away and it doesn't show anything! even if i choose to scan it still wont find anything (even though there are networks and it found them for five seconds).
I have tried with and without sim card, and with different radios but still having the same problem! I have sensation 4G (tmobile) and i am running ICS TMO ROM (rooted).
Does anyone know how to solve this?
Or is anyone else having the same problem?
Apparently there is a Wi-Fi fix for this problem.
But it seems that some of the ROMs have this problem solved already. Does anyone know which firmware or what OTAs have solved this problem?!
I'm experiencing a bug on my Nexus 5, when I first unboxed my device and setup this problem arise for the first time, problem is Nex 5 is connected to my home wifi network but no internet connection/data transmission !! at that time I tinkered a little bit like forget network and reconnected it then it was fixed, after that this problem rarely appear. Then comes the real problem yesterday I rooted my phone then it wont connect to internet same as before connection is accepted and have full strength signal but not connecting to internet, I've tried rebooting, forgetting and connecting, troubleshooted PC etc but nothing seems to fix the problem !! I double checked my network like I connected my tab with wifi and it's working perfectly fine.
Is this a common/known bug with Nexus 5 ? Or it's just me ? (h/w issue)
Any known fix other than I mentioned ?
Does rooting caused this problem appear more frequently ?
Any response will be highly appreciated.
Thank you
Try connecting to a different network, it may be a compatibility issue. Also try rebooting your router/wireless. If that doesn't work then try restoring factory image.
If none of those options fix it then there could be a problem with your Nexus 5's hardware

I'm now flashing factory images, if that doesn't work I'll do a replacement.
I have this issue too, with different WiFi routers.
(Full stock Nexus 5)
Out of intetrest what countries are you connecting in. When I had a Desire HD I had trouble connecting to Turkish routers. Different frequencies? Have you ever connected to your router with an actual connection?
Have yu tried disabling wifi optimzation?

I did tried with each and every option toggled with but still no way.
Sometimes out of nothing it gets ok then goes bad again.
I'm from India and using Teracom router. Funny thing is my tab here working just fine with my home wifi network, I'll try with another wifi network tomorrow.

Merely rooting the device would have no effect on the Wifi connection. Did you also install a custom rom or kernel?

Yeah, so it's a wifi thing. Did you try changing the channel on the router? You can use inSSider to find the best one.

Thanks a lot, I'm now working on that.
Having some issues with receiving calls and SMS on my OPO when connected to my home wifi router, I have searched forums and official OPO forums bit have had no luck finding a solution.
Im from the UK and use virgin mobile (uses the EE network), router is the virgin superhub if that makes a difference
Problem seems to have been happening since I got the phone (begining of Dec 14) but I only became aware of it around new year, girlfriend has an OPO also and does NOT have this issues.
Phone is the global model running stock cyanogen 44, android version 4.4.4
Any help would be appreciated, struggling with this one
Thanks

This has been an off and on again issue for many devices since 4.3 was released. I did a google search and Nexus 5 was plagued by this. There's a long thread on the google support forum, with several OPO posts. The thread is more than a year old, and no root cause has yet been discovered. There appears to be no rhyme nor reason regarding who gets it and who doesn't. I have had this happen intermittently, and a reboot usually solves it. For those who suffer this chronically, the only work around seems to be to keep the phone on 3G preferred. Don't let it connect to LTE.

Yea I found some people talking about the issue on other devices, seems really weird, and yea I did change the preferred network setting to 3g (was previously set as 4g which my network doesn't provide me with) and it worked for a while, however seemed to start again recently, will search for those threads and have a read, thanks for the help
Any other info from people with this issue would be helpful too,
Is it possible that changing my routers broadcast channel would make a difference, could it interfere with the radio?
Thanks again
Still having this issue, yesterday I reflashed stock cyanogen 44 via fastboot method and problem is even worse now, the issue seemed to be every now and again but seems to happen every time now
No longer receiving calls when connected to 3g and WiFi either, only workaround seems to be if I switch to 2g mobile services and I'm still able to receive calls on WiFi
Is there an easy way to make my phone auto switch to 2g on WiFi (closest iv found is disabling mobile data on WiFi)
Thanks, hope anyone has some more info on this
Edit; found a workaround by using g cyanogen profiles to downgrade to 2g on my home networks, but still looking for info on a perm solution, thanks
I´m having the same issue with Wifi turn on, I cannot make or receive calls.
Let me know if you find a solution.
Intermitent issues receiving calls on OnePlus One when in WiFi
I'm also having this intermittent (Not always!) problem of not receiving calls in my OnePlus One when connected to WiFi. This started to happen after a regular upgrade to Android 5.0.2 (Cyanogen OS 12.0-YNG1TAS17L).
I found the solution in forums.oneplus.net. Just search for: virgin-mobile-uk-no-incoming-calls-with-wi-fi-enabled-and-3g-lte in Google and you will find the link. Go to page 3 on this posting.
The issue is related to the fact that calls fail while in WiFi and LTE. Create at least two System Profiles (Settings -> System Profiles). One to change the "Preferred network type" to 2G when connected to any of your WiFI networks, and another that changes the "Preferred network type" to 2G/3G/LTE when disconnecting from any of your WiFI networks.
Hello all,
Sparse poster, long time lurker. I just upgraded my Nexus 5 (purchased from Google, on T-mobile) from 5.0.1 to 5.1 using the OTA link available from AndroidCentral and though no other problems have been found, I am having some trouble with the radio now. When I'm on a call now, the data connection drops from LTE to GPRS, showing the 'G' next to the signal strength icon. Before upgrading from 5.0.1, this would drop to HSPA ('H') at worst. I came to expect that the 5.1 update would enable VoLTE since I thought the N5 was capable of this and the upgrade enabled VoLTE on the N6 for a buddy of mine. Either way, I think GPRS is a pretty bad when I need a data connection while on a call.
I tried to reflash the bootloader, radio, boot and system img's manually and nothing changed. Any ideas? Anyone else having this issue?
Thanks!
hi, I encountered same issues with tmobile LTE after I sideload to android 5.1.

My stock 5.1 radio was very broken. Phone process froze, no deepsleep, losing connection and sim, people could not call me. Very bad.
Using 5.01 radio now, its much better.
