I'm hoping someone knows how to resolve this: A few weeks ago I started having an issue with my GS3. I have my WiFi on and connected to my home network or work network. If I send or receive a picture message (MMS) or anything that requires Verizon's network, my phone connects to the 4G LTE (as it should), but then stays stuck with it displaying both the wifi and 4G LTE... This makes it so that my cell does not automatically download updates for apps etc which I have set to only download on wifi. This randomly started about 2 weeks ago. My GS3 was not rooted or anything... Verizon couldn't figure out how to fix it. I then tried rooting and loading a custom Rom (currently on CleanRom), and it is still doing this. What I've noticed on other people's GS3 or Galaxy Note 2, is that the phone will connect to 4G LTE to send/receive MMS but then the 4G icon disappears and the phones just show wifi. I tried searching on XDA and other sites but can't figure it out. Any help is appreciated! Thanks.
I'd still appreciate it if anyone could help with this? Just wondering if that's an Android 4.1.2 thing or if it's just my phone? I have had this issue with the stock unrooted rom, with CleanRom, and with Hyperdrive Rom.... To sum up my post above, both the wifi and 4G icons show instead of just wifi showing like it used to do... Which in turn, does not let my apps auto update via wifi unless I manually update them or restart my phone. Attached is a screen shot.

ANother day and yet another problem with my Nexus S.
I was forced to restore factory settings today because my phone stopped syncing since updating to 2.3.3.
Now syncing is working, but for some strange reason it seems that both the 3G and WiFi icons are on in my taskbar..
WTF?? Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks..
Been posted before, nobody knows why.
This happens to me as well, but its not a problem, it uses wifi in preference to 3G. You should see it showing no 3G activity when downloading with wifi on.
Has anyone else experienced this? The update downloaded and installed just fine. All apps seem to run fine, just cannot connect to my wifi network. In fact it doesn't seem to even see any networks.
I did not have my device activated for a Verizon Data Plan, and when I try and go through the "Activate Device" process that fails as well.
Thanks

Which update did you apply, was it an OTA update or one you found someplace else either on XDA or grabbed from the web?
As far as I know the only working update for a 3g Xoom is going out OTA to testers, and no one has grabbed a link for the zip install, so what did you install?

I installed the OTA using the trick to stop Google Framework Services and force the update check.
Before I have you go and do a whole bunch of crazy stuff, let me ask the simple question...have you rebooted your tablet and tried WiFi again?
Also, just so I understand the exact problem, is it that WiFi won't turn on, or is it that it does turn on but just doesn't find any WiFi networks?
Seems okay here. Unrooted and relocked and manually applied updates one by one.

It's that it doesn't find any networks.
EDIT: works now, for some reason after the update wifi was set to 5GHz only and couldn't find any networks. Setting it to Auto resolves the issue. Strangely also the Verizon 3g works now as well.
Thanks for the responses.
wifi not working after Jelly Bean update
My Xoom tablet (Wi-Fi only) just got an OTA update to Jelly Bean.
The Wi-Fi network has stopped working. The network is found and shows as "saved". If I tell the tablet to forget the connection, it will re-save it but it will not process the "connect" command. I am trying to connect to an open hotel network while on business travel. I was connected to this network during the upgrade but now I can't reconnect. I've rebooted and it doesn't do anything different.
Also, when the tablet boots, it still displays the ICS splash screens but after it boots, it has all the new Jelly Bean features.
I am currently unable to use the tablet at all for networking since it does not have any cellular capability.
What now????
=========
UPDATE: After sitting with Wi-Fi turned off and sleeping for about 20 minutes, the Wi-Fi now is working. I didn't touch anything. Previously, it wouldn't load the network and I rebooted it at least 4 times. Weird. but now it's working so I'm happy...
Bought a brand new unlocked Moto Defy and I'm having some WiFi and data connection issues...
To start things off, I cannot get any kind of data on this phone. I'm able to make/receive calls and texts with no problem but when it comes to accessing data, it's a total fail. I've added APN's for ATT (ATT MMS, ATT PHONE, AT&T PTA), switched the 2G/3G/auto under Mobile Network Settings, and I just can't seem to get data working. I get data just fine on my At&t Samsung Focus with WP7.
Secondly, I cannot connect to my WiFi router. I've reset the router numerous times, disabled WPA security, tried different security methods, and it just doesn't want to connect. The network occasionally shows up with great signal strength but soon after disappears. I went to the same room as the router and it shows up. When I tap on it to connect, it shows "connecting" and then "disconnected". I also get a WiFi symbol in the upper left hand corner with a question mark over it.
And to top things off, I can't seem to format my WP7 memory card so I can't even install any apk's or ROMs. For some reason, the 2GB card that supposed to come with this phone wasn't even in the box!
Any ideas? Starting to get frustrated, this is my first android phone (3rd android device, first 2 were tablets) so I'm eager to mess with this thing.
Uploading a short video showing the WiFi problem.
Thank you so much!
Also, running 2.2.2
Anyone?

So I've installed Cyanogenmod 7 and was able to get to the band settings but when I select USA Band, it says "Set [USA Band] Unsuccessful.
I found a working bp_nvm_default folder for ATT, replaced original with that, set permissions, and nothing has changed.
I am at a loss of what to do now. And after installing CM7, I have no signal what so ever.
Please!!!! Any ideas?!?!?
So, I have a problem with XT926. Almost every 5 minutes I get message "Restricted access changed", and phone loses GSM signal. Then it reconnects to the network. And there is no HSDPA mode anymore.
For 1.5 months everything was fine, but after I went to a trip and used phone in roaming mode, this problem appeared. I am using safestrap and two roms, stock and FlyingJelly, the problem occurs on both. Just flashed new modem(using RazrHD-Toolkit-4.0) the problem still here.
Google says, it is rather common problem, but no reasonable solution. I used sim in another MAXX HD running CM10 and it works fine.
Please, help.
As the title says I am currently experiencing issues on my stock JB 4.1.2 SII skyrocket, the phone is rooted but everything else is stock.
The issue I am having is that when trying to connect to wifi outside of my home the phone will not connect even though the signal is strong enough in the wifi menu, keeps saying disabled or authentication error. these are hotspots provided by TWC and have no password associated. They only require you to connect and log in on the site with your information from your cable provider. Thing is the phone will not connect no matter what I have tried. I've read around and seen that this is or was an Issue with 4.1.2 in general but i was wondering if anyone can please take the time to help me out? I Looked around the forums for other people with a similar issue but have found nothing, so I apologize if this has been answered before. Thank you for your time and help
