4G/WIMAX data use issues - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

For some reason, Whenever I try to use 4G, it shows as connected, but I can't use any data, nothing connects when using apps of internet, but it shows at connected. Any ideas what to do. I tried unrooting, factory resets, etc

Mine has done this before and a simple toggle fixed it

Try a different modem. Make sure you update profile and prl. Im on fd26 modem right now, seems to work well for me.

Get rid of sprint. That is what I am doing when the s3 goes to a t and t. 17 years is long enough to wait for them to get better.

Wifi problems

I'm on stock efo2 with ef10 modem
I can connect to 3g and 4g just fine but wifi disconnects as soon as it connects
Its not my router cause my iphone 3gs and nexus s can connect and I went to my friends place and tried his too.
My epic could connect before so I'm wondering what wrong
I don't think my modem failed

Changed channels on wifi router
Both my wife and I have Epics and they did the same thing a few weeks ago. Very frustrating when your 3g signal is weak at the house. My phone had been rooted in the past but I was back on stock for other reasons. My wifes phone has never been rooted. I decided to root my phone again and went to the EE03 modem and gingerbread rom to see if that would help. It didn't. I tried my old SDF rom from a few months ago and it was still the same. Finally I went in to our router settings (even though it works great with our wii, and both laptops) and changed the channel from 1 to 11 and now our phones connect great and stay connected. What really baffles me is that my phone wifi seemed to do the same cycling thing on other wifi signals as well. I haven't tried it at other places since it started working at home again. If I think of it I'll do that and post back the results.
So for me, changing the channel on our wifi router seemed to fix the problem.
Might be worth a shot.
Thx
Ill try that
Now time to google how to
Today after I left my house and left for work my modem just died so my phone was just as good as a brick
I just fixed it now
And as you said flashing modems dont help

Question... Do you have your settings for your Wifi router saved on your phone? ...My buddy was having this problem yesterday, and I told him to reset the settings and he reconnected and everything worked after that. It's worth a shot if you haven't tried it already.
Damn it didnt work

Try a different modem, like EF02, EE03, or EC05. Or something in your rom may have gotten corrupted. Try flashing a new rom and kernel. Wipe everything first. Or try a nandroid from before you had the issue, if you have one available. Not entirely sure these ideas will help, but worth a try I suppose.

I'm still having this problem
but only a select few have this problem and I still have it even after moving to eg22

Bump and I guess the only solution is to buy a new router

Fixed
What I did was go to cmd prompt
Type ipconfig
Take the number next to gateway
Paste that number into the browser
Google what your router's default password
Now find factory reset
That's all I had to do

how old is your house
I just recently moved & @ my old place I couldnt get my wifi to work @ all or even work on my xbox that was 5ft from the router & then i move out, dont change anything & like magic my wifi works perfectly on everything. i was told it was bc my old place was sooooo old it was made back when they used chicken wire to hold the "drywall mud" bc back then drywall didnt come in sheets it came in a bucket...
Not sure if this is the same problem or not.
My WIFI shows as being connected even when it is not connected. Thus, it appears that I am connected but data is in fact NOT working.
I tested this by choosing an encrypted wifi connection in my neighborhood and entering a random password. To my suprise IT CONNECTED! Nope, not really. it just showed like it was connected, it really showed that I had connected to my neighbors encrypted WIFI, but when I opened the browser to navigate I got nothing. Fooled me.
Any ideas?

3G connection not working

I'm running a rooted GB on EI22. Everything is working including 4G and wifi but 3G will not connect. I've reloaded my profile and reset my PRL via wifi. Put it in Airplane mode the turned it off. The 3G shows in the banner but won't connect. Any ideas?

there's your problem. if 4g connects.. use 4g and update your prl and profile and reboot your phone, then try it. it may be slightly slow at first, but after about 30secs, should really start kicking in.
I am able to run HD Dolphin and other applications on 4G however the moment I attempt to update my profile or PRL it drops the connection and errors out.

odin back to ec05 and then start the process over again. except when you do this, odin twice. and then try it. you may have to flash a different modem, like shadowkernel.

A modem and kernel are two entirely different things. Shadowkernel is not a modem.

(Q)Why does my wifi sometimes not work? Now not working at all

Sometimes my wifi will say its connected and i know the router is working fine but anytime i use the browser or the xda app or the market or anything that uses data it will not work and it times out. If i switch to 3g then it usually will work fine. But sometimes when i switch over to 3g that does not work either this has only happened a couple of times with 3g not working. But wifi goes out every other day for a hour or so and reboots and clearing cache and dalvic does nothing
Edit: ok I have a problem my wifi is toast it will not work. Tried connecting to three different routers and nothing. Anyone have any pointers?
Bump.... anyone able to help me???

what rom are you using?
did you try a different one?
Is wifi sleep set to never
The newest calkulin v2.8.1 and it is set to never
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
I assume you have rebooted your router first, then tried to reset up the phone after the router rebooted; have you confirmed your router is sending out wifi signals via trying it with another device?
are you using 2.4 ghz wireless phones in your house?
that will interfere with wifi signals
did you ensure your router security settings and your phone security settings are identical?
yup did all that and no I don't have any wireless phones. It was working perfectly the other day. I have tried 3 different wifi conections with the same result. The wifi acts and looks like its connected and working but can not use any data it times out or says cannot display page.

Tried different kernel?
Flash Calkulin's format all twice and reflash ROM.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
are you on the stock kernel?
overclocked, or underclocked?
change any of the battery or clock speed settings, or is everything stock?
Ok I will try format all. Do you happen to have a link?
Im on the stock kernel that comes with the calkulin 2.8.1 I have not done any thing else but flash that rom. So maybE I should try a new kernel? Anyone have any suggestions?

[Q] Issues - UGH

I'm having some issues. I am on Incredible HD RLS 2, I haven't been able to get on WiFi and this isn't the only ROM where WiFi isn't working. It will just never connect. Well, I tried to install ICS Official global CM9 upon initial boot it said it couldn't read my SIM. I powered down pulled the SIM put it back in and put the phone back together and then I couldn't get any service. No matter what I did I have no service.
Yes I followed all the instructions, wiped everything, flashed the proper gapps and the kernel.
Since that didn't work I went back to my nand and still no service. Anyone have any suggestions?? Please help
On global cm9 rum through setup and change network mode to cdma/evdo becuz it defaults to gsm
I'm so fresh you can suck my nits...
Will give it a shot, thanks.

Awesome, got service back, but WiFi is still not working. It just forever searches and never connects to a network. Anyone have any ideas?
This happens to me sometimes and restarting my router usually clears it up, not sure if you have tried that, just throwing it out there.
I can't reset the router, I'm on a college campus. I have the latest firmware and radios,switched out rom after Rom and still WiFi doesn't work. Any other suggestions?

Did you lose data signal after flashing a rom? Read this. It may help

I flash alot of roms on my galaxy s2 and about a week ago my data completely disappeared. My calls and texting worked but no internet whatsoever. I could use wifi but that's it. I found a quick fix that may work for you too.
I read that this is a known problem with the phone and T-Mobile will replace if under warranty but I'm not with T-Mobile so I'm assed out lol.
Ok here we go. Its very simple:
Menu, settings, wireless settings, toggle airplane mode repeatedly and rapidly till you see the E for edge. Stop to see if it comes up fully. If not reboot phone and try again.
Note: I rebooted twice before it came back on fully.
Hope this helps :thumbup:

I am looking for a longer term fix. Loosing data causes my google voice to hang up on calls for some reason... I can get it back on by toggling 2g, data sync, airplane mode etc, but I am looking for a long term fix.
Unfortunately the only long term fix is to send back to Samsung to be fixed and even that is not guaranteed.
