[Q] Wifi connected but doesn't transmit data? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

So ever sense I've upgraded to the OTA JB release, my wifi will connect to the network but won't actually send data. To be more specific, the icon in the notification bar will always have a highlighted orange arrow down, but rarely green arrow up. When launching an app that uses data, I either have to refresh it several times before data will transmit, or open/close the app a few times. Never had this problem with ICS. Any ideas? I'm on stock non-rooted locked bootloader.

Anyone else notice anything strange about Enabling Data?

Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is just my phone or not, but I can't seem to disable the data connection outside of the widget from the notification bar.
I first noticed the problem when I was attempting to create a profile that would turn off the data connection and back on every 15 minutes, but it failed to do anything.
Afterwards, I tried out some apps such as Widgetsoid2.x and put Mobile Data and 2G/3G onto the widget. However, I noticed that turning off the data from the widget would show it being off on the widget but it'll remain on in the notification bar. If i turn it off through the notification bar, the widget on the homescreen would be off. However, clicking the homescreen widget to turn it on would bring up the Mobile Network Settings screen with a toast saying, "Enable Data First".
Anyone else got this problem or have a solution?
Its not just you, I have profiles setup using Llama to switch WiFi on and off depending on where I am and of course I have it turn data off when WiFi is on.
Now I'm not sure if its a glitch related to turning it off manually, but it doesn't seem to turn back on when out of range of WiFi despite having a rule setup to do that. Yet other rules work perfectly. I just assumed it was a bug with Llama and figured I could like with it.

Where is that Data Connection Toggle?

Hi,
My other phone a Motorola Xt615 has a widget to toggle data connection. It came with the phone. However I don't see one for this Nexus S. It's running JB btw. Even the Power Button bar widget doesn't have it either. I have to go into traverse through various menus in Systems to switch on/off for data.
Anyone can help?

GPS disconnects when minimized

I am running ICS 404 with CWM on Micromax A90S. When GPS is on and any related app is running like maps/waze, gps test etc, GPS icon appears is notification bar. It stays there once locked. However if I minimize the app pressing the home key, the app runs in the background but the gps signal disappears. So when the app is launched again, it takes time to lock. Is this default in Android?

[Q] Team Venom Rom 1.4.1 Nav Bar Problem and sms

My first problem is with new OTA update 1.4.1 the nav bar will disappear (just shows three dots) when I watch netflix or youtube in landscape mode. Upon returning into portrait mode it shows just the three dots again. It also causes the phone to go into sleep mode, while viewing in landscape. Keep in mind that is on the stock nav bar.
My second problem is with sending an SMS while on an LTE connection, it doesn't switch to 3g automatically to send out the SMS. But if I make a phone call it switches automatically to hsdpa+ . Your assistance would be greatly appreciated!!!
The Netflix issue is known and being worked on. Can't help on the second one.

Wifi connection delay

For about a week I've noticed that when I login into my rooted nexus 5 running stock 4.4.4 to check my email (home wlan), my email fails to connect and I notice that the wifi icon in the notification bar is orange in color. If I wait a few seconds, the wifi icon turns white and I can get my emails.
What could be causing this connection delay? It didn't use to so it must be a setting I changed.
