Wifi - Phone slow down - Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

n0ob here!!
I have tried various ROMS include Kyrillos 10.6, 9.7.1 DutchMods v5,3 one problem that i came across on all roms was that when i connect my wifi my phone almost hangs up. It slows to a crawl and I cannot even switch screens etc. Usually I have to disconnected and reboot. I do have sync services on for google. I dont have alot of apps installed on the phone. The battery time for the past few months has degraded significantly. Since the wifi issue appears almost on all ROMs I have tried could there be a reason for this slow down ?

I am unable to use Facebook, linked in etc at all on the phone so i have not bothered installing them as if you open one of these it totally hangs the phone to a crawl as well, just thought these symptoms might point to a problem

I've recently found WiFi to be hopeless on our Apollo - despite the signal showing 4 bars I often get "No Connection" displayed - particularly when using the Play Store...
I'm wondering if the phone gets confused between the mobile data signal and the WiFi signal...when it should be using 100% WiFi..?

Unresponsive data connection in Android

I've had this issue with my Nexus S on CM7 for a while now (well I've only had the phone for about a month) but only recently realized it was probably Android or my phone that was the problem.
What happens is I'll be browsing web sites whether it be in the stock browser or Dolphin HD and internet just stops responding. I would open 2-3 sites and after that, nothing else would load. The green loading bar would go about 1/8th of the way and just stops. Eventually, it typically starts working again later on as I usually just give up and go on with my day.
I always figured it was my providers data connection being unreliable but the other day, I set it to wifi and it did the same thing. I would even load the same sites in my iPhone4 side by side with my Nexus S and the iPhone would load the sites just fine while the Nexus just seems stuck.
These other threads seem to have the same issue without being resolved

I rooted and installed CM7 pretty much as soon as I got the phone so it's hard to say whether the issue is with this ROM or what exactly. I also use the TEUV-Trinity kernel by morfic.
I realize this is a fairly broad issue. Was wondering if anyone else as experienced this and if you could help pinpoint the issue, that would be great.
I'll also add that shutting down and removing the battery for a few minutes seems to fix the problem for a while. Browsing is nice and quick afterwards.
Thanks

4G & WiFi 'connected' but cannot I access internet connection???

Some background on my phone and situation:
I've been rooted, unlocked, and on Synergy ROM for quite some time now, since August 2012. I've updated the ROM many times. I've had a recurring problem where my WiFi is turned on, but randomly cuts out my internet connection. Right now, both 4G and WiFi are on, but I cannot connect to the play store, chrome, email, radio streams, etc. This has happened before and I cannot figure out the problem for the life of me, but holy crap is it ANNOYING!!!! I've done MANY searches and can't seem to find another person with this same problem, using the same terminology, so here I am. Also, it seems I NEVER have more than 2 bars signal strength on 4G (entire other issues - not as important).
I'm running firmware MF1 with MB1 TZ to fix camera, on Synergy r484 (current). However, this has happened to me often over the past many months. I use Unified Remote to control my home PC from the couch, which I gave up on because the app could never establish a wifi connection, or took 30 minutes to get working - I can't handle that. I try doing the *#0011# to turn off wifi power saving mode, but I do not get the same option people talk of when hitting the menu button, and the VZW voice says the update failed or some crap - I don't even know what this is exactly, I just tried it because I'm at my wits end!
Somebody, PLEASE help! This **** is the most annoying thing I've ever had to deal with, and have been dealing with it sporadically for the past many months.

Anyone having trouble with WiFi?

So I've noticed that my tablet would often struggle connecting to my WiFi while my other devices are not. One particular app that shows this is YouTube where I would get a connection error every time. Other apps like Chrome would randomly not load a page cause of my connection. I know it has nothing to do with my router so does anyone have a fix or experiencing the same thing?
I started to notice the same problem a couple of weeks ago. It occurs specially with google play store and with chrome brower.
I thought it is only me with this error.
I am thinking about reflashing the stock rom.
My device is p-901 (3G) version.
Yes, the play store gives me the same problem too. But I'm not even rooted so I don't know what's causing this new tablet to be like this.

[6039s] Google Play (I think) wakelock issue

I can't figure this out to save my life. 6039s Android 6. No root. No special mods. Nothing. Bone stock.
In the middle of the day today I suddenly started getting a horrendous wakelock. I thought it was a Google Play issue but it turned out that it's some kind of mobile data issue.
My LTE connection isn't working right. It's slow for some apps and non existent for others.
For instance my sports score app loads at 2G speeds. My web browser seems to work okay. But my t mobile tuesday's app gives me a big warning that I'm not connected to the internet at all. And the Google Play app gives me all kinds of warning that I need to have background data enabled to use Play, but background data IS enabled.
Making matters worse, when this issue is happening my phone enters a miserable and unstoppable wake lock that drains the battery so fast it hard to even charge it. And it saps up the system resources to heavily that the phone slows down to a crawl and can't be used for anything else. Not to mention the phone gets insanely hot from the excess processing. Could a tower issue that's causing a connection problem cause such a wakelock?
I tried doing a reset of the radio connections in settings, but I don't think it actually did anything because all my settings and connections were still there. Still had my wifi password, BT connections, etc.
I tried wiping cache in recovery but it didn't work. Says it did it. But on reboot I didn't get the "app 1 of 82 is updating". So I don't think it actually did that either.
I cannot figure this out to save my life.
I thought maybe it was a tower issue. But my wife has the exact same phone and it's working fine. I called T Mobile and they said they are having a tower problem near my house, but still...wife's phone is fine. And I've seen this problem now in 3 different locations across about a 5-6 mile range. So I have to have been on more than 1 tower in that time.
When I turn on wifi and have a wifi connection the problem goes away entirely. That's telling me that the problem is the system getting upset that it doesn't have a solid internet connection. Changing the connection to 3G or 2G does not solve the issue.
The problem lasted the whole second half of yesterday, was fine overnight while I left wifi on, was fine on day 2 when I was back to 4G networks, and then suddenly is back again.
Anyone got any ideas or suggestions?
Is there some server android is trying to stay in constant contact with that I can block the connection to? Perhaps limit background data to something? I can't figure out what.
This update was irrelevant. Turned out to be a red herring. Still having the problem.
Nevermind this update. STill having the problem
I give up. I'm about to throw the phone against a wall to smash it. The system has become totally loused up. Whenever it goes into these goofy wakelock states the system is so overtaxed that everything takes forever to process. Nothing solves it.
And its' getting worse. Now I have oddly limited connectivity.
T Mobile's tech support was useless. They had me thinking it was a tower issue. That was 3 days ago. Now suddenly they have no records of a tower issue in my area over the last week.
I can make voice calls. But I cant' send text messages. I can use my web browser to search the internet, but not SOME apps that need data like a weather app or Google Play. Other apps work fine to pull data.
Yet it says I have an LTE connection the whole time.
This is the single weirdest issue I've ever seen on Android.
What in the hell could have just jumped in out of nowhere and started causing these issues?

Phone's wifi suddenly stopped working

Hi folks! I have a Samsung galaxy s10e that's given me almost no trouble up until a day or two ago. Anything internet-related on my phone is suddenly working very slowly, if at all. Google is hit-or-miss and some of my phone games that require internet connection are almost unplayable now. It's not having trouble connecting, it just sucks even when showing full bars https://nox.tips/ https://xender.vip/ .
It's not the wifi, because all my other devices and friend's devices have no issues at my place and the problem persists whether I'm at home, work, or out and about. I've tried restarting the phone, resetting the network settings, phone is fully updated from what I can see, and I don't have tons of apps open. This came on very suddenly (in the middle of playing a video, no less) and I'm not sure where to go from here. Anyone have any insight or advice?
