I've found that occasionally my Inc2 will lose 3G connectivity when I leave the wireless network at my house. The only way to get it working again is a reboot. Any ideas on why this happens and, more importantly, how to fix it?
I haven't had this problem. I use wifi while at home and often leave it without doing anything other than starting up my media player to play some tunes.

Hi,
Since i've had the One X i've had nothing but problems with tethering. I've tried wifi, bluetooth and USB. All seem to suffer from the same problem.
The problem being that the phone will have a working mobile internet connection (I can use the phone to talk to the internet without problem) but my netbook cannot talk to the internet. The problem is definitely not with my netbook or the connectivity between the phone and the netbook as I can ping the phones IP address just fine.
It's almost like when tether is enabled some sort of forwarding or bridging between wifi/bluetooth/usb and mobile internet should be enabled but isn't being.
Then, totally randomly, it will just start working fine.
Sometimes disconnecting mobile internet and reconnecting fixes it. Sometimes enabling airplane mode and then disabling it fixes it. But most of the time I literally have to just wait until the phone decides to start forwarding my packcets to the internet.
I travel by train to/from work and used to tether my HTC Desire using wifi or usb. It would generally be useable for the whole journey except when I lost signal entirely or when the phone switched between Orange and T-Mobile whilst I was in the middle of something.
I guess my main questions are:
Is anyone else having this problem?
Can anyone think of a way I can try to debug what's happening?
Does anyone have a possible solution?
Thanks

Try resetting your APN setting back to default. This should fix the issue. You may have to do this everytime at OTA update is applied.
Hi all I'm hoping you can help me.
I have the R800a model of the Xperia Play, running 2.3.4, stock standard and not rooted.
I'm experiencing some very strange behaviour when I turn on wifi hotspot tethering on my phone. When I do, it seems some 3G functionality in the phone is lost. I can still browse the web in Dolphin Browser, but TuneIn radio stops working completely, saying there is no connection. As soon as I turn wifi hotspot off, it picks up the connection again, but if I turn it back on...bang, drops out.
For the record, devices connected to the hotspot, such as my Nexus 7, can access all online functions, including TuneIn radio. It's only the phone itself that seems to lose this functionality.
It seems unlikely there is a bug in TuneIn radio, because I've had a friend verify that it works on his HTC phone when wifi hotspot is on. I haven't verified if it's happening within any other apps but it does look like the inbuilt wifi hotspot functions in this phone are blocking some 3G connectivity while active.
This one is stumping me. It's quite annoying me because I enjoy listening to the radio on the train, but I can't do it on my phone if I'm browsing the web on my Nexus 7.
Does anyone have any clue about what's going on here?
So I've found it's not just wifi hospot tethering, but tethering in general, as USB tethering does the same thing.
So I've gotten around this by setting up Bluetooth tethering instead, which took a bit of fiddling but seems to work much better.
I have a feeling Telstra's software was probably blocking some functionality while tethering via USB or WiFi.
Is anyone else having problems connecting to (and staying connected) to a Wi-Fi network? Before & after rooting (no rom change, still stock), there are instances where the phone will be connected to my home wifi network, then out of no where the connection will tank. The phone states that it is still connected to the network, but all apps (ie: chrome, speedtest.net, brave frontier) state that there is a connection error. I disconnect from the network, reconnect, then everything will go back to normal for about 1 minute, then the phone loses connection again. Any help or suggestions that anyone could give me would be much appreciated!
Try going to another location where there's wifi. If it doesn't cut on you then there is a possibility it's you're router.
Not sure if it is something on my end, but ever since the upgrade, which I did as a clean install, I have had issues with being "connected" but not going anywhere. I am connected to wifi, have an IP address, but nothing will load, then all of a sudden it starts working again. My laptop, my phone, etc have no problems during this time, so it doesn't appear that its my router or anything. I am using the 5ghz band on the Nexus and laptop and plan on testing to see if it does better on the 2.4ghz spectrum but it seems like it affects all my apps. I will be looking on Instagram and then pics stop loading, I open the browser, can't browse, type thing, so not app specific, but the entire time I show excellent signal strength, i'm maybe 10ft from the router, my work laptop is connected on VPN right next to me and doesn't drop out, again making me think it isn't my side, but more so something with the Nexus since 5.0 update.
Dude, Google.
I have this issue as well.
For general internet use and most apps it's not a problem as I only lose connection for ~10s before it reconnects but if I'm playing a game that requires a persistent internet connection it kicks me out at the most inopportune times...
I hope there's a fix soon, KitKat was flawless.
Hi I recently purchased a Huawei watch and it's amazing so far. Though it might not have its all of its functionality with my iPhone 6 it's still pretty good and was decently priced. My issue with it so far is that my wifi connection seems to be interfered whenever I have my watch connected through Bluetooth. I have noticed this since my internet service returns when I turn off the Bluetooth. I have tried factory resetting it on multiple occasion. I even updated my phone and the watch through the wifi router. The phone itself shows that there's a connection but no internet service is actually going through the phone or watch. I've tried looking around but most issues seems to be Bluetooth dropping versus internet service. I hope this can help others that have the same issue.
I have same problem (( I dont know what to do. Is not possible to update my watch even surfing on the internet. Wifi signal is full, but no internet service. In settings is not available Wi-Fi settings. If bluetooth is turned off my internet service works good. (iPhone 6 - iOS 9.3.3, Huawei Watch 1.4 (6.0.1)) What can I do please?
That is by design! Wi-Fi only works when it loses the Bluetooth connection. See this: https://support.google.com/androidwear/answer/6207505?hl=en
