Dd-wrt VPN on stock 4.4.2 - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm running a full stock N5 and trying to tunnel to my VPN with no luck. Have other tried this setup. It worked with my SGS2 phone.

No one has tried VPN with their device?

What type of VPN? I'm using PPTP to my cisco router - works fine. I'm not using the cisco VPN client - just the native Android client

Same thing. Pptp. Just tried the client in the settings.
My concern was maybe because I'm not rooted that there is a similar flag restricting this connection just like the flag restricting tethering in the database file.
As I said these same settings worked on my old SGS2

I am rooted, but I don't think that should cause a connection problem. (I didn't have to change any setting to get it to work).
What problem are you facing?

It just doesn't connect. It doesn't give any exception or error which makes it hard to diagnose.
In the past I've had issues with VPN. They seem to get resolved depending in android versions. Meaning at one point it didn't work on say 4.0 but then was resolved with 4.1.

So now I have been unable to setup PPTP as well as OpenVPN on my N5 stock. Has anyone with a stock unrooted
N5 got either of these working on the tmo $30 plan?

After trying unsuccessfully to use OpenVPN, I got PureVPN and never looked back. It's fast, connects immediately every time, and only costs 50 bucks a year.

For as frequent as I used it PPTP worked just fine. I don't get if this limitation is from the N5 or from the service. It is hard to compare since my last device worked was a S2 on sprint.

I have problem with VPN, but not from stock.
I have S4 with 4.4.2 and I can connect to PPTP VPN on my DD-WRT, but it have packet loss, some apps do not work, and after few minutes it stops working with 100% packet loss, while still showing as connected to VPN.
It is possibly due to reported 4.4.2 bug where VPN does not take correct max packet size.

I resolved this issue by setting ip4/6 in the settings instead of just ip6 which was on by default.

Is there a JB ROM with 4G Wifi tether using netd(master) or softap available?

All the ones I've tried wifi tether doesn't work at all and I get an error about log file not found. Some ROMs repeatedly would ask for super user access when turning tether on and off even after I granted permission. One time it acted like it was working but no SSID broadcasted. Finally native tethering turns on but I lose data connectivity. For reference I have no problems on ICS getting it to work but could not get this to work on GB.
Crespos tether fix did not work for me on GB either fwiw.

Extremely slow connecting to wifi on CM10 (stable/nightly)

I have an HTC One X (AT&T) and I am having a pretty slow time connecting to wifi around the house and in other places. It is a WEP connection at home, and several other android devices have no issue connecting (my dad's Nexus S running CM10 takes 3 seconds) and my iPhone 3G takes 2 seconds to connect, while my HOX running CM10 takes anywhere from 60 seconds to an entire hour, usually falling between 15 minutes to 30 minutes to connect. Once connected, data speeds are normal and the connection is stable. I've had this problem on CM10 stable and the latest nightly, before and after a wipe and clean install. I don't believe I have been having this issue the entire time I've been on CM10.
NOTE: I restored my Cleanrom backup (4.0.4 I believe) and the wifi connects in 2 seconds to the same router without fail every time, over and over again.
Is anyone else having this issue? Do I need to flash a custom radio or something?

You guys get a cookie. They were both 2wires. Is it just the router is a POS and there is a connection lag or something?
Something with those routers are preventing cm10 based ROMs to latch on to its wifi. Sense ROMs connect instantly, and I bet if you use someone else's wifi that isn't a 2wire it would connect instantly. Join the clan bro.... :thumbdown:

Bastards. Good thing I'm in IT and I have like 5 more routers. That makes sense, because when all this started was when I came home for Christmas. Should be gone again in a few days. Thanks guys.
Heyyy sense you mentioned using other routers, would you know of any other routers compatible with uverse? Regular DSL routers would work?

My friend has a cisco one but he also has a new 2wire box. They are both transmitting wifi and one says uverse on the side. I think the AT&T guy was high when he set them up, because I argued with their family that they had 2 wifi sources and they were like no we only have 1. You could always disable wifi in the 2Wire and hook in your linksys or whatever into one of the ethernet ports on the back of the 2wire. That's what I would do.

Wow that explains why I can never get WiFi at my friends house when it works on his iPhone and his dad's galaxy note
So what is the solution? Surely there has to be a workaround?
Not that I can find.. I've been reasearching and cant come up with much.. a guy gave me a tip with the default router passwords but mine won't except it bc its too short.. I know I have to go into settings and change some stuff but haven't yet. The address is on the router to access settings but I keep forgetting beings im working on sense lockscreen mods

[Q] WiFi Issues

I'm having trouble with my WiFi at home. When connected I can browse the web just fine with any browser (Chrome, Browser). However, when trying to use an app that needs the internet it refuses to connect and I have to use mobile data. Im not sure if this is a problem with my phone or my router. Anyone have any ideas?
My phone is running CM 10.1.3 on a Verizon SIII with no additional kernels (I do need one with fast charge however).
Could my AdBlock Plus maybe be causing the issue since it goes through a proxy?
Well a little update.
I disabled ABP and the problem still persists. This is really annoying and I have no other ideas.

Uninstall adblock plus then enabled WiFi hit th menue button and then uncheck optimize WiFi on battery and for adblocking use adaway

Tried those just now and of course my WiFi is down at the moment. Will post as soon as I can test it. Thanks for the suggestion.

[Q] Wifi Drop

I have a rooted Nexus5 which aint running any custom rom. I have noticed that my wifi drops . the icon shows active on the status bar but there is no data transfer.
i thought it could be one of the xposed modules which might be interfering so i unrooted my phone and put it back to stock. The wifi signals were fine for a day or so and i am now facing the same problem again.
I downloaded the Wifi Analyser app from the play store to check if there is any interference from other routers in the vicinity. I have changed the channels multiple times but to no avail. At the same time my laptop & desktop connects fine to the router.
I am currently running stock 4.4.2 build # KOT49H

Try an app called "Root- Push Notifications Fixer". There are two versions one that requires a rooted device and one that does not I use the rooted one and off hand cannot remember the difference. Below is the playstore link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andqlimax.pushfixer&hl=en
This app resolved a WiFi issue I was having. I originally blamed my router/device but it was neither. I use it on both my Nexus 5 and 10. Read the app description for the issue it addresses.
Good luck.

I had something similar on my Nexus 5. The wifi speed would drop dramatically at random and it looked like web pages had stopped loading. My connection is 25Mb but the N5 would drop to 1-2Mb. I'd then have to turn wifi off and on to get the speed back up.
After searching around for the same issue a few people suggested turning off mobile data while using wifi. After doing this the speed has never dropped. I've since set up a Tasker profile to turn mobile data off when connected to wifi and back on when wifi is out of range/off.
Might be worth a try.
Its helping mate . will try it for a day or two to see how it works .

Me, I've tried everything and nothing helped at all. App Wi-Fi Analyzer tells me no signal. Tried a few kernels also. Waiting for rc of cyanogenmod to see if anything will change.

guys , looks like i have finally sorted the problem. I called my ISP and he suggested that it could be a looping issue with the router. He advised a hard reset which i have done now. i can now connect to wifi with my phones
sometime my Wi-Fi lost data even the connection is still on. I'm using Franco kernel r32. I don't know how to fix it. Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

[Question] Nexus 5 WiFi Sharing

Well I have a nexus 5 on latest android 6.0.1 rooted.
I know I can hotspot, but when I hotspot it, disables the WiFi an uses my phone data... is there a way that I can b connected to WiFi and share the WiFi connection not my mobile data...
I had this on my iPhone 4s on iOS 6 with MyWi an it was called WiFi sharing. Is there a way to do it with my Nexus 5? I have foxfi, but it disables my WiFi an uses my mobile data.

No you can't do this. Why would you need to in any case? If there's wifi available, there's no need to share it again through your phone?
Also, MyWi never did this either, it also just shares your iPhones cellular data connection.

Well my iPhone 4s on iOS6.1.3 does it with MyWi so I know your wrong, but my question is can I do it with a rooted nexus 5
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk
Think why you wanted that function again..
The whole point of hotspot is to bridge devices that don't have data access.
Use case scenarios.. Nexus 5 hotspot and I connect my wifi only iPad to it, now iPad can access the internet.
So the whole MyWi, does exactly this.

Here why this is good thing. You are in roaming and in the hotel where you must to pay for WiFi , but when you pay it's allow you to connect only one device. Then you can share wifi whit all your device with wifi share
