your problem sounds like an apn issue or provisioning problem.
are you using a stock phone? what apn is selected?

I have that problem on Sky Ice Cream Sandwich 4.5. To fix it I quick toggle airplane mode.

Same problem here..I am not stock rooted. seems like an Lte issue.

I have a similar problem. I loose data out of blue. Called Att and they informed me that my data was removed for some reason. They reconnected but ever since than, I loose data for no reason. I have to reboot the phone. Even than, my data works for only 10-30 mind and disappears. When that happens, I have to call ATT and the disconnect my phone and reconnect and it works fine for a while. I've called them 4-5 time in last few weeks. They think its the phone. They are going to send me a replacement.

Can't connect to a wi-fi network after rooting?

Just rooted my gs2 and everything works great except my wi-fi. It scans for about 10 seconds and then it turns the wi-fi off by itself. Any suggestions?

WiFi problems after 4.4.4

Hey guys and gals. Is anyone else having problems with their WiFi not connecting to certain networks after the 4.4.4 update? My phone will connect to my home WiFi with no problem..but won't connect to any other WiFi source. Any ideas??

No issues here. Connects at home, work and wifi at other people's houses.

Have you tried changing your wifi frequency on your phone?

Yep..it works fine at my house which is a 5gjz wifi network. But won't connect to anything else. Not even the mobile hotspot on my S5
Edit: changed the frequency band on my galaxy s5 mobile hotspot to 5ghz and now my Droid connects to it. It seems the phone will no longer connect to any 2.4 GHz networks

I'm at my parents and connected to their WiFi no problem 2.4 GHz. At home I'm connected to 5 GHz no problem. I have experienced no WiFi issues.

I have this issue with 4.4.2. Its been happening to me for awhile. I recently wiped my phone and started over and thought it was fixed but it can back last night.

Solo...Verizon sent me a replacement device..and lo and behold..I'm having the exact same issue. I can not connect to any 2.4Ghz WiFi networks. I'm at a total loss as to how to fix this. Verizon replaced the phone with no argument.. Yet my replacement does exactly the same things.

Go to Settings > WiFI and press the menu icon, choose Advanced > WiFi Frequency Band. Ensure this setting is "Auto"

It is.
P.s. all of a sudden after a few reboots seems to be working.

Now it stopped again...and won't connect to any 2.4ghz wifi again... sooo frustrating. It clearly has to be a bug in 4.4.4

Could it be your wifi router is going bad? are you having this problem connecting to networks other than your home network?

Yes. Nothing that runs on 2.4ghz. At my work that's all we have. At home on 5ghz works perfect. Router is dual band..and my S5 connects fine. Also when I turn on my S 5 mobile hotspot and set it to 2.4 gigahertz that doesn't work either

Given that no one else (from what I saw here) can recreate, I would say it isn't software but hardware. CLNR devices do have issues. Call Verizon again and see what they say

I've contacted both Moto and Verizon. Verizon is sending me another replacement. Hopefully this one works better than the one I have in my hand at the moment. The strange thing is that the phone I had before this one was fine before 4.4.4. Sooo idk. If I don't have any luck with this next replacement then I will call Moto and have them send me a replacement.
Edit: its a shame too..cause this phone is ridiculously smooth

UPDATE!!!: Soooo after 2 hrs in Verizon...an hour on the phone with customer service..and and hour on the phone with Moto tech support..a chance call from my Motorola rep and she fixed my phone in 2 seconds. Apparently..there is a glitch in 4.4.4 that prevents the lower frequency wifi from working with Bluetooth. Turning off Bluetooth and a quick reboot and WiFi is perfect!!

Hotspot working with PE1

Ok, I did not want to start a new thread but since this is not a mod and pertains to PE1 firmware only I started it.
Just and FYI of my history with the S7 Edge
Purchased it from Best Buy and took the first update by then the APN settings were grayed out and no hope for the hotspot mod to work as reported. As each update came out still no luck.
Then the last PE1 update popped up on my phone and I installed it. After a couple reboots, I took a chance and turned on the hotspot expecting for it to come on and then give me the subscription error. To my surprise it never did, I was able to login to the hotspot with my tablet and get internet.
Thinking it was a fluke, I rebooted several times and kept trying it with the same results. Sometimes I would even wait 10 to 30min before turning on the hotspot.
I have never been able to edit my APN or get hotspot to work before PE1. Installed PE1 and now it works?
Strange, yes but I am not complaining. Can anyone else that had no hotspot and installed PE1 check theirs to see if you have the same results.

Which plan do you have? I'm on the new family unlimited an. U limited data and 3gb free Hotspot.

Did you check to see that you weren't using the wifi sharing feature? Did you check that APNs are editable?

i havent isntalled the latest update but yeah, thats is a work around to get hostpot on if your APN settings are grayed out. Just restar your phone and as soon as it gets back on go to your settings and turn hospot on. It doesnt work for me the first time I tried after a reboot, I get the error message but the second time(without rebooting) always work. Im on sprint with the unlimited data plan.

That workaround is common knowledge and has nothing to do with this specific update. We are trying to find out if APNs are editable so that we don't have to constantly restart the phone for a chance of getting hotspot working . . . OP was not clear on whether he was able to edit his APNs to get hotspot working or not.

op your hotspot dont work your wifi sharing. in hotspot config turn off wifi sharing and try it
unless you have a pbc original rom (like i do lol) you have to do as stated above restart phone, turn on hotspot fast before the software loads up that blocks it

I just updated my Good Lock application today. I noticed hotspot is working without restating or without the mod.

Question About Wi-Fi & Mobile Data Use

Hello,
I'm going to sound like a complete noob for asking this question but if someone could clarify for me, it'd be great.
If Wi-Fi and mobile data are both turned on and say you're downloading something, would it eat away from mobile data and Wi-Fi or how does it work?
Could someone please assist. Thanks.

You would need download booster turned on to use both, normally would use WiFi unless no connection

No, without using download booster, if Wi-Fi and mobile data is on and you're using Wi-Fi, can it still eat away from mobile data? Or that if Wi-Fi is turned on, does it block mobile data even if it may be turned on at the same time (show priority to Wi-Fi connection)?

On mine I am only aware of it using mobile data away from WiFi or if it deems the WiFi as an unstable connection to the Internet
