your problem sounds like an apn issue or provisioning problem.
are you using a stock phone? what apn is selected?

I have that problem on Sky Ice Cream Sandwich 4.5. To fix it I quick toggle airplane mode.
Same problem here..I am not stock rooted. seems like an Lte issue.

I have a similar problem. I loose data out of blue. Called Att and they informed me that my data was removed for some reason. They reconnected but ever since than, I loose data for no reason. I have to reboot the phone. Even than, my data works for only 10-30 mind and disappears. When that happens, I have to call ATT and the disconnect my phone and reconnect and it works fine for a while. I've called them 4-5 time in last few weeks. They think its the phone. They are going to send me a replacement.

Hi. I'm having trouble using Wi-Fi Tether.
Whenever I'm tethering I experience frequent disconnects and reconnects on my desktop (running Windows 7 Ultimate). I can see it most clearly when I'm torrenting a file. Every minute or so the connection just drops, and 30 seconds or more later starts up again. It even affects my browsing. When the connection drops no sites will load.
I've tried three different apps: Barnacle, OpenGarden, and the WiFi Tether 3.0 Pre 12 app.
Currently I'm on Tweakstock 1.1 ROM with stock kernel. I was previously on PBJ kernel and Infinity ROM, and then flashed to Eclipse 1.2 ROM, and with both ROMs I had the same issue. In fact with the Infinity and Eclipse ROMs I tried a whole bunch of Wi Fi Tether versions but nothing fixed the problem.
With WiFi Tether, I unchecked the "disable wakelock" section, set the device profile to Samsung Captive, and tried with the softap option both checked and unchecked. Still no cigar.
I had this same problem when I used USB tethering with PDAnet, and later Easytether. I'm at a loss for what to do.
Any suggestions?
Why disable wakelock? Also, it should be Fascinate, not Captivate.

Sorry, I meant Fascinate. I've actually tried both and it had no effect. I don't disable wakelock. I uncheck the box that says "disable wakelock", so that wakelocks are enabled. Either way I've tried it both with the box checked and unchecked, and neither situation worked.
Are you sure it's the app dropping? It could be the typical data drop.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
For what it's worth, i occasionally have to toggle airplane mode and restart the app. Could be a similar issue. Tethering is hit and miss, mostly hit tho.

Last night I set the app to run ttorrent (at very limited speeds) and when I woke up it had already disconnected completely, with hardly any data transferred. The thing is normally after it disconnects after a minute of running it will eventually reconnect after a minute. It keeps doing it over and over.
Is it only happening when you're doing torrents? What about just regular web browsing?

Actually I think I've FINALLY got it working. Holy mother of cows!!! I did a cleanup of my computer and apparently I had some weird programs like "Sendori" and "Tages" or whatever. I also uninstalled any programs I don't use anymore and restarted my comp.
First I tried PDAnet (actually uninstalled Easytether first, which had also failed to work properly beforehand), and suddenly USB tether was working. That had me running around my room in celebration. Then I tried Wi-Fi tether, and at first it worked, but then it suddenly disconnected and said "limited access" blah blah. So I restarted my phone and comp and tried again, and it worked!!!
Holy cow I hope it lasts. I'm on tweakstock right now but I'm contemplating if it's worth tempting fate to flash a new ROM. Tweakstock is just too slow for me. My phone worked infinitely better with Infinity ROM and Eclipse.
Sigh... well PDAnet works, but WiFi Tether still has issues. The disconnect/reconnect happens much more quickly, but ultimately it still prevents me from using wireless tether properly.
When I conduct a test on Pingtest.net while using PDAnet to connect my desktop, my overall grade is a B, but with WiFi tether it's a C+ or D, with the test unable to complete the packet loss test.
Could someone here please attempt to run a test on pingtest.net (it's an affiliate of speedtest.net) while on wifi tether and report their results?
Man, I don't know how to put this other than it sounds like you are doing something wrong. Pre 12 and 3.1beta7 stay connected and reconnect after manual disconnect perfectly.
Softap, fascinate must be used.
You should back up and try a new flash. I suggest stock deodexed and debloated ep4d with imo 4 kernel. Also, ping times on phone are identical when tethered or not. If you wanna know ping times, use an app like net ping or ping using terminal emulator. Whwn you ping, ping the address with www. I strongly suggest using www.intel.com or www.google.com
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
Pingtest.net has a "packet loss" test, which is relevant to the issue of a connection dropping. So a normal connection should get an A or B overall, with 0% packet loss.
Anyways I'll try the kernel and ROM combination you suggested.
Try using 3.1 beta 6. Haven't had any problems with this version

I wouldn't be surprised if it was related to the torrenting specifically. All i know is i wouldn't want to be sharing bandwidth with someone who was downloading 2 Blu-Ray movies from 5 people and uploading them to 8. It just screams irresponsible network use to me.

What are you running? Stock or custom rom?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using Tapatalk
On stock 2.3.6 I had no issues with wifi dropping, but when I switched to a several custom ROMs, wifi would connect and disconnect every minute or so. I figured it wasn't my router, because it worked perfectly prior to flashing a custom ROM. It was driving me crazy, and I read through every post I could find and finally found a solution that worked for me. I still don't know why it works, but it does.
I had my router configured to assign static IP addresses for each device based on MAC address. The DHCP reservation expiration was always set to Never for each device. As I said, this worked fine for stock 2.3.6 (and also for Froyo previously). When I flashed either Zeus or Numas, the wifi drop and connect loop would start immediately. I changed the DHCP reservation expiration to something other than Never and to my surprise, wifi stayed connected.
So if your router is filtering by MAC address OR if you are not using a static IP connection on your phone's network settings, it might be worth a try, worked for me. I am currently running Zeus 5.2 and wifi is staying connected.
Wifi dropping due to custom rom flashing is not due to custom rom.
It is due to improper wiping.
A thoroughly clean wipe to make sure there is no residue of previous ROM will solve your wifi issues.
lol..I think I've posted about this just about in every thread at one point or another.
Look around
I have tried every rom on this site...never had a wifi problem dropping or connecting....wait I did once ...cuz I didn't toggle my wifi connection.... lol
But honestly stock or custom...always connections stable and stong...I do reboot both modem & wireless router from time to time....IMO refreshes the signals...
Now Apn...that's a different topic...I keep apn backup for that on file...

Actually, on Zeus my wifi drops all the time. Not when I'm using it... that never happens. But whenever it locks, it drops almost everytime... I don't know for when, or how long, but after I turn my phone back on, then it starts to reconnect... It kind of sucks.. the data at my house is... very.. EH.. 1 bar of 3.5g kind of... But.. it does ALWAYS stay connected. So there.

Thanks for the info. I've tried just about everything, but nothing seems to work. Btw, I thought I would try the R3velation rom, and it's the same thing thing on that. I guess I'm just going to have to live with it.

fwiw, wifi drop is prob from "unclean" flash.
prior to flash, wipe and format system/data/cache.
Tablet can't seem to connect to wifi after doing the Flatline NVflash. Anyone has this issue? When nvflash was done, I reflashed TF700_10.6.1.14.10_WW_Boot_TWRP_2610 running on CROMi-X 5.0.3. Booted up to find out that wifi is not connecting. I even tried factory reset and restore my previous backup but still no luck. Don't know what else to do besides a fresh install of cromi, which I'm really trying to avoid.
I know that Flatline *uses* WiFi, but I see no reason how it could break it, at least across a reboot.
Reboot your tablet and post the output of lsmod and dmesg.
ok here's what came up after reboot

Well the wifi module is loading ok and wifi is scanning so there isn't an issue with the tablet. try tethering your EVOs connection to the tablet and see if it connects
Yes blank as in just an outline of the wifi icon, not greyed or color filled if it was connected with full reception

Forgetting connection/scan and reconnecting many times already with same results. Wifi direct on tab doesn't pick up my EVO but my EVO is able to pick up tab n connected successfully.

Well just my luck....tried everything possible relating with wifi but still no connections. Guess I'll have to format sd and do a fresh install of cromi. Btw I'm on d2sd and if I were to wipe internal, does that delete the androidroot nvflash folder sitting in the internal memory?

I decided to root my handset yesterday, all went well and that handset has been rooted successfully. I've kept it entirely stock, no ROM or kernels. I am experiencing what seems to be a connectivity issue. If I connect to WiFi my signal bars turn white, indicating a connection to the Google servers however, when I disconnect my signal bars turn orange.....full HSDPA signal but are orange.....stranger still that I am actually able to connect to the internet with no issues. I've searched and people are saying that the orange signal bars indicate no connection to Google servers and in turn this means no internet connection? Does anybody know of a fix or have an explanation? All was well before I rooted and unlocked the boot loader.

Rooting can't cause this. Can you receive gmail?
That's exactly what I thought! I've rooted handsets before and never had an issue connecting to Google servers etc. Yeah I can receive gmail, but I need to do it manually, it doesn't seem to be pushed through like before. I thought at first it was an issue with the APN but I've checked and reset it to default, still getting these damn orange bars. The arrows at the side suggest I am sending/receiving data though......I've attached a PIC.

Orange bars means that you are not connected to Google servers and cant receive notifications, it does not necessarily mean that you are not connected to the internet.
Try doing a factory reset.
go to accounts
remove your google account
once u do it may ask to enter a backup account
re enter your google credentials
reboot

If Chaco81's solution works, please let me know.
As several others have mentioned to you, it means you are not connected to Google services. This happens to me randomly, and I have yet to find a solution. Sometimes I just wait it out, and it magically starts working again after a few minutes. Sometimes I reboot, and that seems to work 75% of the time, but because it isn't 100%, it makes me think it's no different than waiting it out, it just makes me feel like I'm doing something. This has happened to me on various ROMs (including stock) on my Nexus 4, Moto X, and Nexus 5. It is very frustrating, and I can't seem to locate a cause or a fool-proof solution other than waiting.

I highly discourage doing a factory reset for this problem, especially if you have no backup program like Helium or Titanium. I have never had to do a factory reset for this problem to correct itself, and seeing as it happens to me randomly no matter the device or ROM (and I always do a full wipe moving between ROMS), I do not think this is actually a solution. I think this is just like what I consider rebooting, it doesn't fix the problem, it just adds time in between the problem starting and the problem stopping naturally. Even if it is a 100% sure-fire fix, it will take much longer to reset and fix everything back to how you want it than to just wait it out.

Easiest way to fix it is to get on a WiFi connection. Once it connects to WiFi Google will sync and then turn off WiFi and you will have white bars. This tends to happen to me when my data coverage is low and speeds are down. I don't think the slow speed is able to reach Google servers thru the downlink. Just my thought but I have no clue.

From the look of your notification shade, you are obviously not using the stock ROM. What else has been done to your device?
Without more info on your phone, its tough to give solutions.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
It is completely stock ROM with xposed and gravitybox installed. Apart from that, its pure stock. Even at that the only things I have activated with gravitybox is the notification shade and circle battery mod. Nothing has been touched in way of kernels, radios, WiFi, telephony tweaks etc. Really don't fancy having to reset my device entirely, thanks for the suggestion but I'm not planning on restoring it back and setting it up all over again. As for the WiFi suggestion, it worked for 3min 27sec (yes I timed it) but then, low and behold, the orange bars were back. I've been reading on some Google forums that its an issue in 4.4.2 but it was working fine prior to me rooting. I even put it in to safe mode to see if it was an installed app that was affecting it but that turned up nothing.

^ OK thanks for clarifying. There are many potential reasons for this issue, so it is hard to track down.
Do you have other android devices? Do those work without issue, in your area, over your cellular connection?
If so, the problem isnt related to your Google account, or your cellular carrier, and must be device related.
If its device related, don't do a factory reset. Instead back up everything you care about and flash a factory image.

The signal actually came back and turned white for the rest of the day. Then it dropped out to orange again. Think I'll hang on to things the way they are right now and persevere with it and hope that 4.4.3 comes with a fix. Thanks.

I'm on T-Mobile UK, well EE, as it's now known. The issue doesn't SEEM to be affecting things but I honestly can't be sure. In saying that I'm having to manually refresh my gmail and Google now notifications aren't displayed as often as before. There seems to be a few posts online about people with similar issues so there's every chance it is a DNS issue.

yeah, Im running CM11 and stock 4.4.2 rooted, unlocked and with run time ART on N7 and N5. I see this on both ROMs. On stock the icons turns orange for cell and wifi. But on CM11 the wifi icon would change to have a line running through it. I think its the same but with different icons. Both would act the same but both seems to have no advert effect for me tho.
