Can't seem to find anyone else with this issue despite multiple searches...
Essentially, I am having an issue with what is being listed as:
OS Services>November 2011
continuing to use data while connected to WiFi
I don't know if this could have anything to do with this being a TMobile phone now being used on ATT (although I can't imagine how/why this would be a problem).
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks

Posted this in another forum, but you all are the experts. Impossible for me to access my work WiFi because of redirects (splash screen to accept use parameters).
Wondering if a custom ROM fixes it or if there is another solution.
Having an issue connecting to WiFi with Evo updated via official release of 2.2. I couldn't access it via 2.1 either. It's an odd network designation.
However, the iPhone can connect once I okay the error message.
Is there a work around that you may know about? Web search basically told me that the protocol is old and useless and that it should be changed. That is not possible.
Network designation is 1.1.1.1. I was unable to add links clarifying this because I am a new user.
Well Android can not connect to 1.1.1.1 addresses / networks / redirects. However the iPhone can. Is it inherent to the Android, or is there an app or tweak to get it to work.
This message ends by saying it will be fixed with Froyo.
Still can't post links to show what I mean.
Steamliver I just did a Google search for "Android 1.1.1.1" and this was the top result: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1597
I'm guessing this is the problem you are describing. Sounds frustrating and it has been going on for a long time. The newest post at the time I'm writing this recommends installing the Fennec browser (Firefox for Android, basically) and that worked for the poster.
If you have a laptop you could bring to work and tether via USB, I wonder if that would work? Just a temporary work around to use the phone to establish the wifi connection, then view the browser redirect on the laptop, accept, and then maybe you would be good to go?
Also, the simplest thing might be to call the IT department and ask them for help. Given Android's growing market share, one of them probably already have an Android phone and a fix for this problem. Good luck.
I have tried firefox and that did not solve the problem, does anyone have another ideas how to solve this.
It seems that 1.1.1.1 is locked in the android.

Hi,
I have a really annoying problem with the Desire and hope that somebody is out there who has solved this problem already and is willing to share the solution.
I have a Desire Bravo which I used to provide internet to my desktop PC via USB tethering. But since a month or so, the phone's mobile internet (o2 Germany) goes into some sort of sleep mode when I am not actively using it on the PHONE or have constant data stream to the PC. For instance, while reading the web on the PC, I will have to grab the phone occasionally and call a web site there so that I can access the internet again on the PC. As soon as I called a web site, a download or the like on the PC works again. It must be some sort of sleep mode but I have no idea which setting it could be. I am not completely clear when this happens as sometimes it keeps awake for a good time but sometimes it interrupts very quickly.
I already have flashed a new radio 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23 and also the latest stable release of LeeDroid 3.0.8.2 as I thought it might be the OS. But not improvement.
It is also not the SIM / carrier as it works without this problem if I use the same SIM in an internet USB stick.
Is there some sort of user data I could try to delete?
Or could the Windows drivers (on win 7 64 bit) be the problem?
Or any other suggestions?
I have searched the web for days and did find entries but the problem is always slightly different...
Thanks a mil for any insights!
Cheers,
frotty
Maybe an easier question first: do you guys get a stable connection over a prolonged period of time when using the Desire as a mobile internet modem via tethering?
The HDSPA signal is strong and the phone is not moving.
(Now, I tried newer HTC sync drivers (uninstall, new install) - no improvement.
I tried a wipe / factory reset and started without microSD, thus no user data - no improvement.
I tried it on a different Win 7 PC - no difference.
So far I only tried HTC stock ROM-based ROMs. Would it be worthwhile to try one of the open source ROMs?
Or might it be really a carrier issue? It just started to do this breaking off a month ago... but then again, with a USB internet stick the SIM gives a rather stable connection.)
Hey all,
So I've been working on this for quite some hours now for two nights, but I'm done for and hope someone can give me clarity:
HTC One m9, running stock, latest update VDF Germany, Android 6.0.
Problem occured last week. I was using the phone quite extensively (yeah, tbh I was playing Pokemon Go... like a lot). With it being constantly on wifi/4g/GPS and all, charging it all the time, the battery also became quite warm.... And then while walking about it crashed and rebooted. I never had such a crash before tbh. After Reboot HTC Error Report even popped up and I also sent it. Then I found that the Bluetooth and Wifi Connections were off, which I usually both have activated all the time. And now I cannot turn them on anymore. No matter which shortcut is used. Wifi displays "error" after some minutes, while BT is just greyed out after triggering. Wifi Mac is showing with a 02:00:00:00:00 now as well.
So I did my research and performed quite some things, trying to get it fixed, because I am still not sure wether this is a Hardware or Software issue. A lot of people reported the issue at least for the wifi part. Less people reported it for both, wifi and BT, but I would guess that not too many people use BT regularly anyway. I found one person mentioning, that if both is not working it is most probably a hardware related issue. Which was my first thought exactly, thinking it overheated, something had gone loose internally and now the antenna is killed or at least not connected anymore.
As for the physical methods, I only tried the "whacking the back part of the device"-technique, which did not do anything. I haven't gone through "freezer" or "hair dryer" yet....
Some people were able to fix it via draining the battery and then restarting and draining again and what not.. but that all sounded weird to me.
I am still hoping it is software related so I went:
- Wifi Fix and Rescue App
- Unlock
- TWRP
- Root
- Reflashing stock
- numerous factory and network settings resets
Because I read about the /persist partition or folder and that it should contain wifi or mac address related info. Some guy had simply deleted those files and they were recreated upon reboot. But those files are not existing in my /persist folder (checked via Root Explorer - got the paid version) and I have Root - as stated above. Still that folder only lists:
\data
\display
\hlos_rfs
\lost+found
\rfs
\tee
I found a thread in google's cache of someone on how to recreate or fix that folder and contents, based on a nexus 5 however and that is probably not working on the HTC one m9 I was presuming.
So, what do you guys think?
Is there any way to get the wifi back to work? Would you say it even might be software related, looking at the persist partition/folder contents? Or am I totally wrong and the fact that BT AND Wifi are not working, rules everything else out and only leaves a Hardware Issue?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this.
Thanks in advance!

I'd bet a bollock its the hardware popped. Bluetooth and wifi are on the same board, probably the same rf chip. A local phone repair shop should ve able to fix it seeing as it's out of warranty.
Beamed in by telepathy.
When I am on WiFi the phone disconnects after a period of inactivity, primarily when the phone is locked. Some examples:
1- When I am streaming a movies from the phone to a smart TV the streaming did after a while.
2- When I'm downloading a large file via chrome the download is paused.
I've seen this problem mentioned on numerous forums online and none of the suggestions have worked so far for me, and I'm refusing to follow random suggestions such as reset the phone to factory settings or update to the latest version of the OS unless someone can conclusively tell me that it solves the problem for them.
My WiFi is set to be always on and smart switch is off. I'm on the original release version of the ROM.
Your help to solve the problem is greatly appreciated.
Hello together,
since I couldn't find anything about that issue in detail beyond the usual vague articles (where one copies the mediocre content from someone else, it seems) such as this one, I'd like to share the following:
Using a SM-F926B which natively came with Android 12 (F926BXXU1BVA9 preinstalled and also after having it updated further to F926BXXS1BVB3), I have the issue that the data connection using 4G(+) (APN-wise and nowadays the lovely internet access of course) although staying connected, doesn't pass any traffic anymore at some point. The small "arrow" in the upload direction is periodically showing up then but nothing in the downstream direction, rendering the whole thing effectively offline, both directly and any tethered device connected to it, which is very annoying. Only quick resolution is to toggle the famous airplane mode.
While it is on one hand appreciated to occur not all the time, it also makes it more difficult to narrow down the error. In conjunction with the German provider O2 it occurred maybe every 1-2 days. During the last time it happened, I had a SMS being sent to the Fold which got successfully delivered so the mobile connection itself stays active (neither does the service monitor available though *#0011# shows anything suspicious) so it seems to be an issue with rather the APN-related connection. A problem with the provider network can be ruled out though as a Netgear LBR20 with another SIM from the same contract runs perfectly fine since ~ 180 days.
Meanwhile I downgraded to Android 11 (F926BXXU1AUJ7) to see if the same error occurs as well, hinting on a hardware issue (a very interesting one then, though as the overall data throughput performance of the Fold 3 is amazing) or some incompatibility with Android 12 (which would then however also raise the question why not all exemplars are affected the same way, which suggests hardware differences even within one model line such as that very F926B).
Has anyone of you experienced that or a similar phenomenon?
