Hi All,
I hope im not duplicating this question ( i have searched with no results).
Recently Ive been having a problem with the mobile tethering from the tablet. My phone shows connecting, connects for a few seconds and disconnects. This happens a few times then it shows the message Authentication Error.
Im trying to connect my Note 5 which is on 5.1.1 but the tablet is on 5.0.2.
I have tried the following already:
Changed SSID to a different name;
I changed the broadcast channel to a specific channel;
I cleared data of Google Services Framework (messed up the syncing of my Google account but resolved this);
I changed the password;
I changed from Allowed devices only to all devices and back;
Removed security and password to connect;
Deleted the device as an allowed device and re-added it.
On the Note 5:
I forgot the network and reconnected;
I reset settings in the backup and reset menu (this is missing on the tablet)
The phone connects to other wifi networks.
Ive noticed the issue starts in my office but at home I manage to connect sometimes. It does disconnect from time to time.
This started about a month back, before that it connected without any issues. Any ideas what i should check or reset to resolve this? I don't want to do a factory reset. Connecting via bluetooth works perfectly still.
Thank you,
Any help please?
Any ideas why the tethering would not work at certain locations?

Hi all,
Captivate with Cognition 2.2B9.1.1
Android 2.2
Belkin router (it is at home so I can't get the model number right now)
The simple problem is that my captivate will connect to all of the other wifi networks that I use but it stopped connecting to the one at home. All other phones and computers in the house connect just fine. The interesting thing is that when you watch the connection status on the phone, it connects and then immediately disconnects and starts the handshake over again. I have watched this happen over and over again. Weird.
I first thought it was my router so I modified the settings by using different channels and security methods. No dice. I then reset my router to factory specs and still nothing. I want to blame the router but I am stuck thinking that it might be the phone. Is there a way to purge the WiFi and IP information? I would rather not dump my phone and restart if I can avoid it. Can this be done through a terminal app like other platforms?
Any ideas or similar experiences?
Thanks ahead of time.

So I dropped an updated Cognition Rom 2.3.b6 and solved the issue. Last night I cleared my RAM (level 1 and level 2) and when I got home the problem occurred again. Bizarre. Could I be clearing a cache that refuses to refresh? Ideas?
hey guys
today i received my n5 and i am very happy of that fact!
but at beginning i still have an issue - or hopefully not
model s/n 310xx
everything gone fine since starting the setup guide where it comes to connect to a wlan network. there are several listed in my region including mine (all are fritz boxes)
when i try to connect to any network and it comes to enter the password - i do
but then when connecting it does nothing, as if i pressed cancel
after that randomly the networks getting a status of "deactivated" - so the device is not even trying to connect to any
i got rid of it using the WPS method with my router and could connect, but that cant the the solution. i would not be able to connect to any network without WPS?!
i am still running the forced update at beginning (my connection is very poor over wlan and traffic of my h+/3g is gone before..)
so i hope it will be solved after update... but has anyone else made any experience like this?
after update all is fine. thread can be closed
My rooted Nexus 5 ver4.4.3 suddenly has issue with wifi. In about 24 hr, wifi connection cannot be re-established. Even I turn off the wifi button in the setting I still see all the available wifi there. Close it and reopen the wifi setting, the wifi shows ON. It fails to connect any hotspot, encrypted or not. For any encrypted hotspot, it asks for password again and no password knows.
Only reboot correct the issue and I uninstalled several apps but condition remains.
will capturing bug report help? Should I wipe device clean? How can I do full application+data backup?
I bought a Galaxy Express 3 (sm-j120a) on Ebay (new condition) to use as a backup phone. I began the setup process and tried connecting to my WiFi. I put in the correct password but it will constantly cycle between showing "Connecting" underneath the SSID, then suddenly the SSID disappears, then suddenly it will reappear and show "Connecting" underneath, etc. It will do this indefinitely and will never connect. If anyone has experienced this issue before and knows how to fix it, I would greatly appreciate some help.
One thing I haven't checked is whether I could update the software of the phone to the last available update. I wanted to hold off on putting in my sim card because I have a nano sim and I think the phone takes a micro sim and I don't have an adapter yet. Is there a way I can download any available updates to my computer, then send the update to the phone via a USB cable?
Thanks!
i ran into the same thing a while back with an old android phone, a samsung j120a. one day its wifi stopped working with the att modem i have, a bgw210. behavior was the same as what you described. every other wifi device in the house worked fine. tried every standard trouble shooting thing you find when you search this, including factory data reset, nothing. got hold of another phone same model... it also failed to connect to wifi on this modem, same thing.
the answer-> i resorted to playing with the wifi settings on modem, and found that the problem was with the wpa version setting- it was set to wpa 2 by default when i found it. i changed it to the setting that accepted both versions 1 and 2, and the phone's wifi now works again.
i assume at some point att updated this modem, and one of the updates was to change default setting on the wpa version, probably because wpa 2 is supposed to be more secure than wpa 1
just replying because i hate searching stuff like this and finding nothing but people asking roughly the same question without getting any answers. hope this helps somebody searching this in future
Hi guys,
I have a very strange behaviour of my P7P.
When I activate the flight mode, the displays shows the corresponding logos. But I still have internet connection via mobile network.
When activating Wi-Fi, the connection switches to Wi-Fi.
The phone is not rooted but I installed Tasker and toggled flight mode dependent on the location an also did this with Wi-Fi- Therefore, I installed Tasker settings (old version as proposed by Tasker developer to be able to switch Wi-Fi).
Additionally, I installed aodNotify. The rest of the apps is pretty much normal (banking, wallet, some games, nothing specific to mention).
For some time, restarting the phone led to a not connecting mobile connection but this is working now.
I already reset the network settings without any benefit.
Is there anyone with a similar experience or hint how to solve that strange issue?
Best regards,
Matthias
One thing to add: When restarting the phone in the state of flight mode being enabled, I can't get any mobile network connection afterwards no matter what I try.
Only by starting the phone again, it will be possible to connect again.
Just tried what you wrote here, and I can't reproduce your issue, are you sure you have internet connection, or is the phone showing cached info?
Sounds like you need to factory reset the phone, and or ensure you are running the latest firmware.
I also thought about cached info but ensured it was not. I received (new) mails, messenger messages from WhatsApp and Threema and other stuff.
By checking the IP, I saw that the mobile connection was the problem. The Wi-Fi was disconnected.
Ich flashed to the BETA program, that didn't solve the issue.
So I factory resetted yesterday and everything is fine now.
I can only imagine that my old Tasker settings somehow mixed things up and caused that behaviour. But I was not able to find out what it was exactly.
