I've been trying to tether a tf700 to my S3's 4g connection while at my job for about two weeks now. The problem is after a little bit of time connected, the wifi tether will drop the tab. The connection on the tab will cycle between connecting, obtaining IP address and saved. I tried another device, a phone, to see if it was the S3 or the tab and it did the same thing, indicating a problem with the S3. Note: this issue has only come up when tethering at my job. I have not seen it happen at my house, though it may be possible.
I have tried several roms including stock, JellyWiz, CleanROM and others with the same result. I followed the procedure to return the phone to vzw warranty service as a way to wipe the phone and return it to stock settings. Running Foxfi, I still had the issue.
I got a warranty replacement S3 and have left it unrooted on stock (HE based rom). Using Foxfi I was able to tether successfully for hours. It's been nice. This leads me to think of two possibilities.
1. The wipe via Odin, relock, and OTA updates somehow still didn't fix the software issue on the old phone. This seems unlikely but I'm no expert. I would think Odin would clear everything but still the problem exists.
2. It's a hardware issue. This seems unlikely because my wifi works and I have not been able to duplicate this at my house. But there is no denying that the new device works great.
The big question is, can I root/flash on the new phone without fear of it winding up like the old one?
The new phone and tab just had the same problem - unable to tether. This is a first but I rebooted both and it has cleared up. This seems to be a software issue but it's really stubborn.
Samsung says it is a hardware issue. They are sending me my third phone. I hope this works or else I'm switching to another device.
Using native tether locking lockscreen open fixes it. Settings >lockscreen>Screenlock>None. If have 15 toggle mod there is a lock toggle. Best is to use Android wifi tether that now works for TW JB roms.

Thanks for the reply. I tried it but unfortunately it only worked for about two minutes before falling into the fail loop. It should be mentioned that on the tab, I see the signal strength at full (since I'm three feet away) but when it's looping the signal drops to nothing on connect. I still have to think it may be a hardware issue.
I just hope phone #3 works as it should.
So far so good. Got the new phone and it's tethering with foxfi just fine. Not rooted yet and probably won't for several days. I'm actually wondering if I can burn this one up and get them to send me a DNA.

My phone is having the same issue, how do you go about getting a replacement from Samsung?
So this is my first samsung (S6 Edge 64) since the moment (which was an absolutely terrible phone and i vowed to never go samsung again) Ive been with HTC ever since the OG EVO. I was very excited to get the s6 mainly for QI and fingerprint scanner.
Well my problem is im having nothing but issues with this damn thing. MMS messages wont download unless i force stop play services and hangouts and clear cache then reboot. Also i dont get any of my push notifications like i should. With my m7 as soon as i use my gwallet card my phone would go off with the push notif. now i can use the card and ill be lucky if i get a notification ever. My google opinion rewards never show up, emails dont come in until i open the app and manually refresh. In general everything that makes this a worthy smartphone is failing, what good is it to have always connected internet if i dont get my notifications how im supposed to. Its almost as if data just stops working until i force it to work. Along with that data apps will take forever to load most of the time and i have to reboot to fix it. This is also evident when i try to open gwallet to add some funds to my card, the app will open and i put in my pin and it just sits there waiting to log in. The other day i was in line at the store and it took me 10 minutes of F^#&!ng around with gwallet to get it to finally log in correctly and let me add funds. At that point I felt like smashing the POS on the ground. Again I open up the m7 and click gwallet and BAM it opens up instantly with ZERO FU#KING ISSUES
Also the wireless charger on both my gf and my phone dont keep the phone topped off, we will wake up and the phone only be at 80-90% charge.
Also the Night clock on the edge lights up the whole damn screen, WTF is that all about, was that really not noticed in QA testing???
I have turned off connections optimizer since its garbage software, i made sure everything i want to sync is set so and ive checked all the settings multiple times (again no one should have to jump through all these hoops to get the phone working how its supposed to out of the box)
Ive cleared all google services cache and wiped dalvik six times in recovery. When i got the phone i skipped setup and downloaded the OTA, let that install then did a factory reset and then finally i set my phone up. Still have the issues.
My gf phone (regular s6 32) is also having mostly similar issues and she just jumped ship from the iphone 5. Her facebook almost never loads correctly, unless she is on wifi which is a slower connection by far (home wifi is aprox 8mbps and her cellular data in the same spot is aprox 15-20mbps)
This is NOT how a $1k phone should act. Its not an issue with google either as i can turn my m7 back on and connect it to wifi and everything works perfectly. All notifications populate instantly how it should.
One thing Apple does get right is the stuff usually just works and works well. Im an experienced tech guru and even im having these problems, If someone like me has these issues i can only understand how someone might feel coming from an iphone or something else.
All in all I know not everyone is having these problems (or at least all of them) but its really upsetting me and again samsung is putting a terrible taste in my mouth.
This is the end of my rant for now, im sure ive forgotten some of the issues ive had so far but ill leave the book as it is now. Anyone else getting extremely frustrated with this phone that costs way to much to be having these problems with!!
I called sprint about the data not syncing known issue they said latest software has issues to wait for an update from samsung have to use wifi to sync gmail and same if you use facebook prolly same thing with wallet i dont use it so not sure playstore and internet browser work on lte dont use mms much will have to test that today

Does your auto rotate at least work? If so, consider yourself lucky.
The night clock thing seems to be a software issue but Samsung support is clueless about it.
I've got the same issue as you my friend. This just starting happening to me. I will not get any notifications at work. ZERO. No email notifications, groupme, twitter nothing! I have called sprint and they just tell me to update PRL and Profile. Most of the time that works but I shouldn't have to do this. It has to be something about Spark switching off to LTE and 3g making you lose your profile on the network. I have go as far as switching my preferred network to LTE/CDMA instead of Auto and DATA roaming is set to HOME only. I'm hoping this fixes the issue for now until Sprint and Samsung can get this worked out. I am 95% sure this is a Samsung issue. My note 2 and Nexus 6 never had this issue.

Why was the update pushed out if it has known issues is what i want to know, if so many ppl are having this same problem surely it reared its ugly head somewhere along the road of certification? Thats not really acceptable to tell us we have to use wifi in order to use the phone correctly smh

I do have working auto rotate, and your right about night clock being a software issue, what upsets me is samsung is clueless about it? Again all the testing that goes on i cant believe no one noticed it before a major multinational launch. It works fine in the news feed but not the night clock that seems crazy to me.

This is definitely a samsung problem, as there are many other spark phones in the wild that have no issues receiving notifications or dealing with slow (dormant) data. I havent looked but is sprint the only one that is having these data issues, i wonder if it has something to do with that bullsh!t connections optimizer more than the towers handing off. That has got to be the most worthless software they have ever forced on us, the absolute first thing i do on any sprint phone is disable that malware. Except for my whole family has LG G3 and no matter how many times you uncheck that connections optimizer it just turns itself back on, GARBAGE
I completely agree about that garbage Sprint optimization app. I've turned that crap off. I've also changed my network preferences to see if that helps. I've gone to home and CDMA/LTE
You guys think that if we wait to see if Sprint can fix this problem that we will still be able to return our phones after the 14 day period if the problem isn't fixed? Because a lot of people on only Sprint have been having this issue. Everyone else on other carriers is enjoying their new Galaxy S6. Has anyone contacted Samsung about the return policy?

I have no idea about Samsung's return policy. Seeing that other cell services are not having this issue I am more sure now it's a issue with Sprint's signal and
Samsung's Cell radio's not playing together nicely. I can see that my download and upload speeds are working fine. It's when the signal goes dormant that
I miss notifications and emails. Which leads me to believe that this can be fixed via a software update. If it was a major issue with the phone every cell customer
would have it. I did see on the sprint website that Samsung and Sprint have acknowledge the problem and are working together. Let's hope an update is sent soon.

My sprint store said to call Samsung. I've had my phone for 18 days. If you're within 14 it's worth a try. Since they won't exchange I'm stuck with a phone where the screen doesn't rotate. It's very frustrating.

Just wanted to update you guys. After talking to Samsung and Sprint on the phone, I was finally able to get a sprint phone rep to notate my account to do an in store exchange even though I was out of the 14 days. So, give that a shot maybe. So far this phone only has the night clock issue. Going to stop using the fast charger in the meantime though.
I've been on 3g for a while now due to this issue, do you guys think if I switch to LTE/CDMA and roaming to homez it'll also work fine?
Im going on my 3rd phone. The first one was the rotation issue, second one my speaker stopped working on calls. Other end could not hear me.
So since I've posted this my push notifications have been better but i still have plenty of the other issues.
I wonder if gplay services have helped any
Great Phone
I haven't had a single issue with my phone...only thing it my be to fast....I just think people who came from iphone can't think outside the box. This is the phone i have been waiting for next update should fix any issues you guys are have. good luck and iphone user should go back to that simple tiny phone..

I didn't come from iPhone... But considering there are tons of issues out there for this phone...and that the phone isn't lag free and in fact lags like crazy sometimes is very sad. It's a great phone and all and I truly believe its one of the best out, but Samsung really needs to get a lot of their bugs kinked out like NOW. I hate waiting for updates.

i started a thread called " Data once lost wont re-connect" back in June
I still don't know what the problem is caused by but it's definitely lollipop related.
i have possibly tried every lollipop rom there is to try and it's always the same.
i'm a driver and cover the whole of Scotland, sometimes some obscure places
with no DATA signal..Once the exclamation mark was up then only a reboot would
sort out the problem and reconnect the DATA. I have tried 3 phones and they all
have the same problem. Now all the phones are on the Three network so it could
well be an incompatability between Three and lollipop??!
I have wiped the phones and put in 38r and 44s and i have not had to reboot
any of the phones this week so it looks like the problem is not apparent on KitKat.
I'm starting to enjoy the Oneplus once again !!!nearly had the samsung edge a couple
of weeks ago!!!
I was thinking that i might of been the only one with this problem untill it happened to the wife's
phone when on holiday.The daughter gave up her phone and went back to an iphone so tried hers on lollipop
and the same problem .
Hope this might help somebody out there it's been driving me insane and although i have had to forget lollipop
and go back to KitKat the phone is now back to being usable and i get my emails and whatsapp when i'm supposed to
Paul
I use Calkulin's ROM, currently on the latest, with EE and don't get this problem.
I drive a lot for my job as well, so would expect to see this if it existed.
I don't know what it could be. It all points to the Three network but why does it not happen on KitKat? There must be some issue with Three/Oneplus and Lollipop, especially as the problem is there on all three phones i have tried. After months of trying Lollpop ROMS and different Kernals i am totally stumped, but revert the phones back to 38r or 44s and everything is ticketyboo !!
I'd be tempted to put one of the phones on Calkulin's ROM, then stick an EE SIM card in (just get a PAYG for testing) and compare the results.
I presume you have double-checked the APNs are definitely the same?
Ever since updating to 5.1.1 via OTA update on my AT&T Galaxy Note Edge SM-N915A, I have had numerous issues. The phone lags/freezes often at best, but also crashes and reboots randomly. Worse yet, it has gotten into a boot loop a few times. I have factory reset and cache-wiped numerous times and even flashed a clean 5.1.1 via odin and still have the same issues. Apparently 5.0.1 or 4.4.4 cannot be flashed via Odin once 5.1.1 is installed and I can confirm this is true as I have tried.
Is anyone else having these issues? I have seen similar reports from the Note 4 forums but they seem to be getting new firmware updates to fix the issues. My firmware is N915AUCU2COI2 and is the latest available for the SM-N915A as far as I can determine.

Wouldn't that require ROOT access? The AT&T variant has a locked bootloader, so no root.

I've been experiencing the same issues since 12/19/15. I too have the N915A... and it has worked just fine up until that day. I noticed while I was out xmas shopping that it was rebooting a number of times while i stood in line waiting to check out of the store. I did not want to be that guy in line pulling apart an electronic device so i waited until I got to the car. Pulled the battery, she was a hot mess, then once it was cool I re inserted and powered the phone back up only to find it to be really laggy, a number a apps were crashing on without me touching them, random reboots, need to pop the battery, SD, and SIM to restart the phone without it getting hungup on the boot routine.
I recently used ODIN to load 'stock" 5.1.1. firmware but no luck. Not entirely sure that its N915A firmware, found it from other threads on the forum. Before knowing we could not go back to previous version, I took a whack at going back to those as well. So far I've reset the phone probably 7 or 8 times with a fresh OTA firmware install and only installing a few apps like Facebook, RSA VPN client and Team Viewer to keep variables minimal.
Ever since xmas day i stopped trying and been trolling the web for support only to here that the N915A has no root yet and other unavailable mods thus far . I have not tried to do anything else yet from a programming standpoint. I put the phone into developer mode, toggled some settings for the CPU and GPU in there so that they ran independently.Setup to be notified when an app crashed in the background. Downloaded Nova Launcher to avoid TouchWiz as I've heard that can be buggy with 5.1.1. So far the phone has been working somewhat normal. No random restarts, however if I restart it myself i may need to remove the battery for a minute to get it going again. The battery seems to be draining faster than it should, least of my worries for now. If i just let the phone do its things without trying to be a few thoughts ahead of it, it seems to process just fine.
Oddly its improving, I'm not sure why. Also, not pleased with it either but its better than having a brick atm. Intend to keep trolling the webs for more solutions until a root is dev'd and nursing this thing until it either hits the bucket again or for some weird reason gets better on its own....

So that's it then? Is there really no way whatsoever to go back to 5.0.1 or even 4.4.4 kitkat from 5.1.1? I've been trying to do it for a while now but I'm new to this Odin downgrading thing.

I also have the AT&T Galaxy Note Edge SM-N915A. Ever since I updated via OVA this June 2016 it has been freezing/rebooting on its own/crashing apps. I have found 3 SM-N915A roms but cannot revert back to these previous builds. I have tried KEIS3 via Samsung to reflash firmware but it wont recognize my device name. After 2 weeks of crashing the phone is now a joke, when it once was king. It was such an awesome phone when it was released. Now I must lay it down to sleep. I guess I will get the Note 7 Edge which should be released this August.
I just wanted to express my frustration over ATT Branded Phone and will not be buying their branded phones anymore. I will be buying international versions or unlocked phones since ATT screwed me on this one.

I ended up being only days left in warranty and getting a replacement. Then a few months later I switched to T-Mobile and got the SM-N915T. So far so good and just OTA updated to Android 6.0. Only negative is T-Mobile's coverage in my area is poor, but WiFi calling, unlimited data (speed limited), and unlimited Binge On media streaming at full speed are great positives. T-Mobile Tuesdays is pretty cool too I must admit :good:
Same problem on SM-N915F even persisting after the new 6.0.1 update
Me too, my note edge N915G get restart constantly after ota update to 6.1 i try to flash with odin but always fail..
I just updated to Oreo via OTA and the phone worked great for a day. After that, I couldn't make calls and people couldn't call me. My phone would randomly reboot or get stuck on the G logo.
I wiped and reinstalled Oreo, and now the same thing is happening. Plus I see this weird 'colourful static' after trying to make a call, before my phone just shuts off. I tried safe mode and the same thing happens.
Currently in an urgent situation where I need my phone to be functioning, hoping someone here can help.
Thanks
I am having exactly the same issues since the Oreo OTA. If I reboot the phone, the issues go away for a while, but eventually it's back to problems where I'm unable to make/receive calls, screen is flickering (even that colored static you mentioned), lag when unlocking the phone, etc.
Have you found out anything?

I have no such problems. I am running stock. It is running really smooth. I also have september security update. Unfortunately, only thing I can suggest is factory reset.

I am also running stock, never rooted, never unlocked the bootlader, also running the september security update. I have factory reset, and I have even run into the issues while using the phone in Safe Mode. There are a number of people with similar issues leaving feedback on Google's issue tracker, but I was hoping to find someone who maybe has found a solution.

There are a number of people with similar issues leaving feedback on Google's issue tracker, but I was hoping to find someone who maybe has found a solution.

I am sorry to hear that man! I hope you/google figures it out.... may be try flashing the factory image manually.
I'm having the same issues and verizon Chat support told me they are having issues with the OS upgrade and the Pixel. Did the factory reset and everything else. Replacement phone coming now. If it's the Oreo OS, I bet it's going to have the same problem... This is a major problem, as I am a single Dad and have a long drive to get my daughter - do they really want me to text while I drive instead of calling?? This is Day 5 of this issue and 4 trips to their stores.... ugh. Suggestions?
Update
Just wanted to post an update. After factory resetting a few times the problem persisted. I sent it back to my wireless carrier and they sent it to Google. In the meantime I had a loaner phone from my carrier. Google sent back a refirb (it was practically new with new screen and camera), and the issue hasn't come back in the new phone. My suggestion is to send back to your carrier to get a replacement. Good luck!
i am on stock too (from google store), oreo update and have exactly the same problem, it also occurs with "ok google".
after reboot, calls and "Ok google" work perfect so the mic is okay. but sooon after it just stops working and i got randoom reboots.
same is happening in "safe mode"
i did factory reset via android and id did not help.
now i tried a factory reset via boot menu and will check it out.
