Mobile Hotspot keeps disconnecting and connecting to internet every few seconds - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I was running MOAR rom using noobz hotspot but now using Beans 1, both with lean kernel and had same problem. When I turn on hotspot my 4g connection disconnects and then reconnects every 10 seconds or so. It happens non stop. Don't know why or what to do to resolve this. I do not have a hotspot plan with Verizon.

This is a connection issue with Verizon. It has nothing to do with the ROM. Only way to fix it is get a stronger data signal. Sometimes I notice it tends to drop and reconnect more often then usual
Flashing a new radio may help.

I have this issue even when I have full signal strength. I am also running MD1 radio and rpm. I had MD3 but when I read about samsung pulling the source and hearing about some of the problems that have happened (even though Im not running an AOSP rom) I went back to MD1.

It may already be a reported bug, but it is possible that the ROM may be the problem. Try searching the MOAR development page and see if the issue was already reported. From my experience though, I usually have the same issues as you and I still think it has to do with Verizon.
You could always try the Treve mod and see if that fixes your issue, unless that's the mod already implemented in MOAR.
Otherwise, I'd try a clean flash to see if that fixes it. Then if it still doesn't work, run a logcat and post it. Then the developers can have something useful to check to see if something is wrong.

I had this problem using stock hot spot feature. The Treve mod works as a fix for me.

Cyanogen 6.1 update - No 3g anymore

I have tried 3 different versions of the Cyanogen mod on my Hero over the last few days and I can't get my data to stay on 3g. I'm staying in the same areas I've always used my phone and I never had problems before. Luckily I can stay on wireless most of the day, but 1x is driving me nuts.
Radio version is 2.42.01.04.27
Any suggestions? My last thoughts are to go back to stock and hope I get my 3g back...

Maybe you need to update your PRL?
As far as I know, the only way to do that is to flash a Sense ROM, go in to the settings (Under phone info, I believe), and do a PRL update. Then you can flash back to CM6.1 and see if it worked?
You can also try flashing different radios to see which gives the best signal for your area, but that has a slight chance of bricking your phone, so... Be careful?

PRL might be it. I doubt a different radio would help. I've not had any problems with the newest radio and I've been running on it for a while. I'm beginning to wonder if it's a problem with turning off wifi. If I restart the phone I can start and stay on 3g. But, if I change to wifi then switch back 3g doesn't return probably 90% of the time. Disabling and re-enabling data doesn't help either.

I don't really look at the data notification in the status bar but there have been instances where I have noticed that reads 1x. Mine seems to switch and like the OP said I am in all the same areas prior to the 6.1 update. I am using the same radio and PRL list as prior to the 6.1 update. I also have my wife turned off and never really turn it on. So this leads me to think that 1 either in some cases there is a problem with the data maintaining its 3G connection or 3G was busted prior to 6.1 and is now reading accurately...though I do not think that is the case since my sister has the same phone and is running sense and she is not losing 3G
Just out of curiosity, could this explain my poor batter life, I am only getting maybe 5hrs and that is with little to no use.
I had the same problem going to the Nov2 build of the blackmod, 3G dead, nothing worked to fix it short of flashing over to a stock build and do the re-provisioning via the #*# code. After that I totally wiped the phone and installed the new CM6.1 build and all is well.

Yeah, I went back to stock and it was normal for me. The last rom I did was the blackmod so it might be something there.

Cyanogen 6.1 no 3G, After Using Wireless
I also noticed no 3G on 6.1. If I used wireless (802.11 to router), the 3G connection would be dropped, as expected and desired. Upon turning off wireless, the 3G connection would not be reconnected. This was not a problem with ADW not updating. All network apps reported no connection. After a reboot, the 3G connection was restored, until wireless was enabled.
I'm unable to get a data connection with any 2.2 Rom no matter what I try. I have this problem not only with CM 6 and 6.1 but also with AOSP which till the problem started I'd been running everyday since I rooted my phone in September.
Been running Liquid for about four days and haven't had any problems.

And I thought I was going crazy! The last week I have been having TERRIBLE luck with my 3G connection with the latest builds, Tried the newest RC,,,,Themed froyos, AOSP, ETC, and kept having issues so finally said screw it and I'm back to 2.1 for a while, Atleast for a week or so till some more bugs are worked out! Anyone know any reason why this all of a sudden popped up after three months of builds???

intermittent connectivity while tethering

I'm experiencing intermittent connectivity while tethering my thunderbolt through either wifi or a usb cable. I usually have to restart the app or the phone to get it back. Anyone else experiencing this?
i used to have this happen to me alll the time. now i rarely see it. was using bamf rom at the time and nothing but grief. now i'm on synergy rom and using wireless tether 2.07 and no problems. which rom/kernel/radio are you using?

funny you should mention that as i'm using bamf 3.0 haha. Guess I know what I need to do now.
btw, the latest wireless tether app, the 3.01 or something, doesn't work. try either the 207 or 205 version. whichever will give you better stability. the stock tethering app that comes with the rom and anyother rom, doesnt give me good results. i wasn't able to download even a 350mb rom without loosing the 4g, no its not a problem. i also noticed that the 4g disappears whenever i opened too many tabs at the same time on tethered computer. guess too many pages loading at the same time somehow overloads something. i have no explanation.
I use BAMF and have same problem and i noticed connectivety dropped when display went to sleep so when tethering i turn it to not cut off and i have no problems now

this is a different problem. i think that he's talking about the 4g connection disappearing for a second, then reappearing, but being unable to tether anymore. happens at random. ur talking about he wifi sleep policy thing.

Wifi turns off when signal is weak (1.85)

While using the phone in a spot with poor wifi reception, I've noticed the wifi icon completely goes away sometimes. It will then pop back on shortly thereafter. Is this normal behavior when it thinks the wifi signal is completely gone?
I just picked one up yesterday and have been having issues. In my bedroom it will read 2 bars, drop to one, then shut off. Comes back on within seconds. This phone seems to have WiFi issues for a lot of users.

Same problem here, but it also happens when it says i have full bars. I need to enable best wifi performance to fix it. My gsii never had this problem...
This is exactly how mine behaves too. I'm in the room with my router so I normally have full bars (and should) but every once in a while the signal goes away and comes right back 2 seconds later. I've tested it with 2 routers, a linksys running dd-wrt and a d-link one, both have the same results.

International One X has issues too. The newest update 1.85 was supposed to fix some WiFi issues along with other bug fixes, and it doesn't seem to have helped us. Let's not assume they even know what the problem is at this point.

I don't think what I am experiencing is a hardware issue at all. Im not even moving the phone when this happens, and my phone passes the squeeze test. I'm confident this means it has to be software related.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
This is kind of an old/dead thread by now, but I just wanted to share my experience with wifi on the One X.
I'm also having problems, but I'm currently running a nightly (though very stable) build of CM10 on my One X and still have wifi issues. This COULD be hardware related, in that it's just crappy hardware (though it could also be software related if CM10 is built using wifi "code" (not really sure what the correct term for the wifi stuff in the software is ) from the stock software)
I'm sitting at work right now, for example, and every once in a while the wifi will disconnect. When connected it shows 2-3 wifi bars, when it's NOT connected, my wifi network shows up as "not in range" .
same type of thing has happened at my house. I thought my phone was defective so I traded it in for a replacement at best buy. Same issue. Such a shame becuase I really like everything else about this phone and wifi was never an issue on my last HTC device.
kernel changes affect wifi. some of the cm10 builds have known wifi issues.
i would never think of returning a phone because of an experience with a custom rom, since the phone wasn't built to run that rom.
always revert to full stock and see if you still have the issue. also updated ota/ruu are made to fix issues also. at&t rom doesn't have many stock wifi issues, but you can always run into issues with wifi access point incompatibilities.

Wifi issues with all ICS based roms.

I have tried lots of ICS roms till now and with every rom Iam seeing same wifi issues.
Wifi keeps disconnecting every 15 20 mins.
Today I installed official ICS using ODIN and still same issue. I was thinking this wouldn't be present in final release.
Everything works perfect on GB. Very excited about ICS but can't use my phone with wifi issues
Did anyone notice this on their phone?

I haven't had this issue personally..
Have you tried more then one WIFI network? Just thinking maybe it's your access point/router that's having issues, try restarting it perhaps?
Edit: Could also try playing with the WIFI settings in the router, sometimes changing the channel works for especially angry devices.
Factory reset the router

As I said earlier, it has nothing to do with my Router as everything works perfectly if I am on GB. I have Kindle Fire(on CM9) and Galaxy Tab 2( CM9) also and no issues those devices.
I see the same issue at home as well as in office wifi.
As the wifi gets connected within seconds after getting disconnected so it doesn't effect Web browsing, but when playing online games it becomes a nightmare.

[Q] WiFi trouble with CM10?

I just purchased a used HTC One X from the Rogers network and unlocked it. Before rooting it, on the Sense rom WiFi was working great. Very strong signal and it never dropped. Upon flashing CM10, it's not picking up my home network (which I know is working because I'm typing on it right now and the device was connecting to it earlier).
I downloaded WiFi analyzer and it's jumping between networks, some networks pop up and then disappear and then new ones pop up. WiFi is just acting very strange. I did all the appropriate wipes before flashing.
I found a lot of WiFi issues surrounding the international One X but I don't think this is a defect since it was working fine with Sense.
Does anyone else have any experience with this?
Thanks!
Just flashed back to a Sense rom, and low and behold my WiFi is working properly again.
I've had the same experience with CM10 (different nightlies) and AOKP, WiFi is just not reliable. I can connect just fine and the signal strength is the same as with Sense (including CleanROM) but at random times transfer speeds will go down or just drop completely, usually turning WiFi off and on fixes it but it happens again within a couple of hours.
I've tried a couple of tips from those threads like turning off the 5GHhz radio on my router but that doesn't seem to help

I can't even detect my home network. There's a few of the neighbors networks that pop up on and off but it's not consistent.
I'm literally sitting on my workstation which is connected to my home network and I have full bars. On Sense, I also get full bars and WiFi works as expected.

I've had troubles as well with WIFI on my device running CM10. I've posted numerous time to the CM10 dev forum but nothing comes from it at all. I had very good wifi with the Oct nightlies but now my Wifi is chocked off and doesn't perform as expected. I've tried rebooting my modem, router, switch everything and still the same results. Is there anyway to bring some attention to this or figure out the problem?
Help others and myself figure this problem out, anyone?

Are you on the stock kernel for CM10? Try flashing another kernel. It could be a kernel issue that you're having. I had this problem When I flashed PACman, and all i did was just flash Rohan's Build 5 and now my WiFi is working just fine.

I'll download rohans kernel as I've been using the built-in Kernal with that comes with CM10.
**Edit: I've installed RoHan's kernel but still the results are the same. The wifi and network become grayed out from time to time and websites fail to load. I know my home connection isn't quite that fast but there is no reason that the connection all together would drop.
my wifi icon on cm10 just turns grey after a while and doesn't receive any data. So i have to toggle it off and then on again to get it to work again

The CM10 stable rom is out for the LTE One X. I'm going to give it a go and see if any thing changes.
Check your region code under Wifi -> Menu -> Advanced Settings -> Region Code
Make sure it's under US (or wherever you are), reboot and see if that helps.

I'm located in Canada, and I've tried setting it to US and Canada. No dice.
I tried the a different kernel, CM10 nightly, CM10 stable, AOKP, and none of them are working.
I'm having a similar problem. My wifi won't turn on for some reason. It's related to the phone hardware, not my network. And I'm only seeing this problem when flashing the most recent nightly of CM10.
I'm not sure what else to try. Any ideas?
I've tried rohan's kernel as well as setting the region for the WiFi adapter but eventually it happens again. It's not as bad as some of the other posts I've seen, but it does kill data through WiFi at some point and transfer speeds drop.
Is there anyway to get further data on this? I know that my phone doesn't have the hardware "bug" first reported with a few of the devices. Any logs or error reports we can try and gather?
I managed to connect to my home wifi which I was previously unable to connect to, I had to change my router's wireless signal channel from 13 to 1. I am able to hold a signal fine, however I know many of my neighbors networks are not showing up like they should. Similarly, I am also unable to pick up my university network at school.
As I've said, Wifi works fine on Sense.
Is there any way I can help with error reporting in any way? I don't mind donating a bit of money to the CM team and help them get some logs.
It's nice to know I'm not the only one affected.
I would have to say this is completely a Kernel problem. I am having a similar issue in cm10 on N7000. But it's only happens to the some of the routers.
My house's router is a d-link product. And when you are connected you will having no issue, but once you restarted your phone you are getting trouble to reboot the router once to get your self connected again, in the phone, the wifi will stating "Connecting" like forever.
But I am not getting the same trouble when I am with my company's wifi and the Wifi of my friends lynsys. So its hard to tell the developer about this issue because it's not happens to all people. I hopes this info helps. Reboot the router usually works for me.

Unfortunately it's not always possible to reboot the router.
Like I said, I can confirm this issue and anything I can do to help I will try to provide.
These issues with CM10 and the new AOSP will almost make me *shutter's to think this thought* move back to sense.....I'm just not sure what to do. Should we link this to the dev thread?
Edit: I've captured a logcat from me turning on wifi, connecting to a website, and loading a second website to see the behavior. PM me if this would be of use.
This is the only reason I'm using a Sense-based ROM (CleanROM), nightly builds for CM10 run great and I have no other issues, but this one is kind of a deal-breaker for me.

I feel you man. I'm sticking with AOSP because I managed to at least get my home network working but it's definitely annoying not being able to get onto my university network.
