I've owned my ZTE Racer for a 2 days and haven't even needed to read the phone manual. Really simple and easy. I've downloaded many Apps and kept the best. However I'm having problems with a WiFi App that will allow me to connect to a WiFi source. If I connect manually using Settings>WiFi etc all is well but no matter what WiFi App I use they won't connect even though the do show Internet Authorised when they find my own WiFi router. Am I missing something as I'm never asked for any settings and I'd assumed the App was using the settings I'd set manually. What am I doing wrong?
You should use the built in wifi app. Why do you neen another?

I have rooted my s3, the problem am facing is, am not able to update my apps on mobile data/3g, whereas I am able to do that on Wifi.
Apps get downloaded on mobile data / 3g, but not able to update the existing apps. If I touch on update the download bar comes up but the update doesn't start at all. Please help.

There is an option sometimes to disable updating apps over data under settings on the app store.

Try updating your apps and see if that helps. Also clear dalvik/cache in recovery. Although both of this has very little chance as I suspect problem with your ROUTER. Usually Routers have different frequencies and different types like N,A,B,G etc.
You might need to check your router frequency and reset your ROUTER if that still doesnot work.
Also, Nexus 4 and 5 have options in WIFI settings to change frequency that is used. Look if that can sort it out!
Good Luck
I changed all, reseted router many times, tryed many things with ip and encryptions. No success. Im have no clue, reinstalled apps, cleared dalvik, no changes. Other devices works fine only n5 and n4 dont.

Did you ever find a fix for this? I'm having the exact same problem.
Have you confirmed your router's DHCP settings - assuming that it is over WiFi signal? Does it work over Mobile data?
Otherwise, it works with News & Weather, checking email, etc. ?
Open your PC's Command Prompt and run a Ping test - can you "ping" your N5's assigned IP address (look under Settings/WiFi for it? ... trying to see if you have basic connectivity.
Check your router's logs for any throttling or bandwidth management/restrictions - are certain ports blocked or closed?
If nothing else help, do a Master/System Reset and re-configure all your settings (after doing TB & Custom Recovery backup first, just in case) - or, consider flashing the older radio as many are complaining about the newer ones.
Of course, you might want to download & clean flash/install the factory image ... as a weekend project.
Yesterday the Connection Optimizer started popping up an error box about every minute or so about needing to update the version of Adobe Flash on my phone to prevent malware. It then takes me to Adobe's site to download a new version, which of course, does not exist. I never even installed Flash on this device and not sure what the Connection Optimizer has to do with Flash/Security anyways. Either way, it is annoying because it just keeps popping up at random.
At first I thought it might be something with Dolphin Browser and having Flash enabled. I even tried installing the latest version of Flash that is modded (here on XDA) for use with 4.4 to see if that would fix it. It didn't. So I uninstalled Flash player and disabled it in Dolphin Browser and the prompt still pops up.
Anyone else run into this issue?
Just want to chime back in and add that a co-worker of mine is having the same issue on his S5. Seems to happen when device switches to Wifi.

Just turn off connection optimizer
All it does is switch you to Wi-Fi automatically every once in a while
Its a waste of battery imi

I get your point and that is what I have done. However, I do feel that if it is a feature on the device and is not working there should be a fix for it instead of just turning it off. Wondering why (2) of our S5 devices are having the issue but yet doesn't seem anyone else is, or at least not speaking up about it. Called Sprint and they have nothing on record of it being mentioned by others. As I'm still in my "trial" period with the device I want to make sure all sensors and features work as they should.
