I've noticed that in the last few days when I turn on WiFi I still get cell data.
I have WiFi then 4g icon with 2-3 bars. Wasn't like that before.

What were you doing when this occurred? Might you have been in the middle of downloading something so your phone waited instead of doing a handoff?

I have noticed this same issue. I usually just turn off the data portion when using wifi, but I am curious as to why this occurs

Nothing really just chillingin the forums or browsing. The phone used to automatically turn off cell data when on WiFi and I might of disabled something somewhere but I've never seen such a option...

Ok so when I try to tether my phone to the PC(windows vista 32 bit) it will connect but only for like five minutes then it only gets limited connectivity. I've tried to diagnose from the PC but keeps telling me I need to contact my service provider. It will connect but goes back and forth. Would anyone be of assistance. Please and thank you

When i used mobile AP it also gave me limited connectivity for a while so i turned it off and then back on and it worked fine... im not sure what the problem was though
are you using wired tether or wireless
Ok guys I'm using stock tethering with USB. I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting and it will give full connectivity then it will drop to local only then in a few more minutes it will drop to limited connectivity. I just don't get it. It will connect but just losses connection like crazy. I will try a few apps and report back, in the mean time any help or ideas on what to do are welcome.

I've only used Mobile AP and Tether app to do tethering, never had an issue on those. Best of luck.
are you letting your screen turn off, and are you running any battery saver apps that turn off moble web when the screen turns off.?

Is ur phone charging while tethering? I dont use usb much. Either AP or wifi tether app. Sometimes it gives me adb error and I reboot my phone.

I dont think it matters if the phone is charging or the screen is off/on. I used to tether with the stock app all the time no problem while charging and screen off for a long time.
I just recently started getting limited connectivity. I only use our stock Mobile AP. I have never used the usb cable to tether. I wonder if it is a result of something we flashed..
If we can figure this out I will be very happy!

I agree. It would seem it is due to some unforeseen issue that I would not no anything about. It seems like when the phone goes to sleep that's when the trouble starts. I haven't been able to test this theory as I haven't had access to a PC for a day or two. Will report back with you guys cause I'm gonna try a few apps and see if keeping the screen constantly on will help if it does then we will know it is something to do with the phone sleeping while tethering. Thank you much for your guys input..

I always turned my screen off and never had an issue before. This is recent issue for me. I'm not running any battery saver apps..I did recently flash a ROM that came with Bali 3.3 uv.
I never uv and actually flashed Bali 3.3 (no uv) this AM. Could the under volting be causing it? The last time I tethered was two days ago so I don't know if I still have the issue with Bali 3.3
Thanks
Ok. I have done some testing and definitely have come up with a fix for us. Is it a temporary or permanent fix? I'm not sure just yet. This is what I did.
Turned on my Acer laptop/let it boot up.
Turned on our stock Mobile AP as a wireless tether. I got limited access.
I right clicked on the signal status bars icon.
I got a popup with 3 choices one of which was STATUS.
I clicked on STATUS and the limited connectivity icon (triangle with ! In it) almost immediately disappeared before my status window popped up.
I HAD FULL CONNECTIVITY.
I browsed a little.
I shutdown/started up my pc 3 times and had full connectivity each time.
I then, for40 mins, downloaded ROMS, Kernels, Mods ect from xda and rootzwiki using wireless Mobile AP with no issue our loss of connection. I worked it good!
I am now shutdown and waiting for an hour to pass (another 30min) to test if I will have full connectivity immediately on connection.
I'll check back in soon. Hopefully I'm on the right track!
**Also**
My phones screen was off the entire time.

No. Audiophile Funk in the trunk as of yesterday but I was getting it on Black Ice too. Just started happening 10-14 days ago
@GDofWR420
Ok. I started pc/let it boot up and run. I then turn on Mobile AP (wireless).
It showed connected but there were no bars and the blue wheel was spinning..still early in its connecting process I'm sure.
I got the limited connectivity icon on the signal status bars and it said Limited connectivity in the popup.
I right clicked the signal status bars and immediately got Full connectivity. I didnt even get The 3 option popup with the STATUS option.
I'm still fully connected as I write this. My phones screen off the entire time.
I'm going to shut down pc and reboot phone and see what happens...I'm sure it is something we flashed and when the devices "talk back and forth" something happens.
Forgive my noob speculations and non technical replies. I'm REALLY NOOB with pc's lol.
If all we will have to do is right click the signal status bars here and there that wont be to bad.
I'm going to Odin stock (probably not tonight) and see how that works for us also...
BTW; I have been using your CWM advance restore guide and I'm loving it! Wish you did it months ago! What a time saver! Thank you for that.
Hello,
I have a galaxy tab 2 obviously since I am here lol. Anyhow I just recieved the 4.0.4 update to my tablet and seem to be having problems with keeping my wifi connection. Now, if I am using the tablet to paruse the internet etc... I am ok. Even if Iput the tablet into stand by for a few minutes and wake it up, its ok. The problem is when the tablet spends a signifigant amount of time in standby, at least an hour. When "waking" up the tablet i can never connect to my wifi anymore without a system restart. Anyone else having this anoying proble since our last update? If I have d/l's going in the background etc... they all get cut off because the wifi drops. Other than this problem, I a loving my galaxy tab! Awesome these things are

Same situation with CM rom in my samsung galaxy S3.
Stock rom wifi was great, but CM 10.1 wifi drops every 10mins, and take about 3mins to restore.
Been told must be phone hardware related.
Need some solutions as well.
That sux, my wifi stays in, just the range is crappy. Very very very off....

My TF101 not rooted and running stock rom is not connecting to my home WiFi. Note it has been connecting fine for over a year. I have tried restarting it, forgetting and reconnecting to the router but it just won't connect. The funny thing is, when I select my router it doesn't provide any error message or anything; after you press connect, it brings you back to the WiFi screen which shows all the different WiFis discovered.
Does anyone's know what I should do? I'm debating if it's a hardware fault possibly? I'm not sure though. If I have to I can root it and install another custom rom on it.

Try a cold boot
Turn it off, hold power and volume down until you see the white text at the top of the screen, then release the buttons and wait, it should cold boot on its own
I would suggest unplugging your router for 30 seconds, then plugging it back in and see if that helps. Sometimes the router and the TF101 don't want to shake hands.
I had the same problem this week. Wiping cache and dalvik appears to have fixed it.
Funny thing I found out later is that it connects to other WiFi fine. So the problem must be between the router and the tf101.
