Hello,
Am I the only one who cannot turn on my wifi while on a phone call? I could on my TP2 and TP. For some reason, if I have wifi off and start a phone call, I cannot get it connected. If I start the wifi connection before the call starts, it will occasionally keep the connection. This is with 4G off.
My phone is rooted and nand unlocked using toasts unlock. I am currently running the rooted stock rom, 3.29.651.5 OTA unlocked. Regardless, this has been the case on all rooted roms I have used.
Am I the only one with this problem? Please help!!!

Not sure whats wrong with your phone but I have rooted stock rom with kings CFS #11 kernel and I am able to turn on wifi and browse the web while on a phone call.
I registered to say that I have the same problem. I googled, but this was the only thing I found related to the issue. I can use wifi if it's on before I make a call, but if I'm already on a call it will say "out of range" for any networks and I can't connect.
My phone isn't rooted at all and is brand new. Should I go get it swapped at Sprint?
Same Problem/ Fix
I can make calls on bluetooth.....Sort of. Depends on what bluetooth I use. I have 2 Jabras, both different models. Wifi works on call while I am on my bt2010, but while on my other (no idea what model think 2020) wifi wont work. Hope this helps, because it helped me I am buying more 2010's now.

I dont think it is your mod dude I think it may be a problem with the Bluetooth. I am a very tech savy/ noob programmer, but I do know how to trouble shoot. This is a long shot, but I am guessing it is a protocol conflict between the device and the headset. Like I said I have 1 headset that allows me to surf while on it; the Jabra BT2010, and antoher Jabra that does not. Guess I am lucky the 2010 is one of my favorite headsets or I would be screwed. I am ordering 2 new 2010s I will let you know if my results are the same as with this one. Only reason I can see that my results would be different would be do to a firmware change.

You know I have the Jabra BT 8010 and I do have this connection issue. I then deleted the device pairing with my cell phone and had wifi on and connected. I then dialed a phone call. Turned wifi off. Turned it back on successfully. Timsmooth, you nailed it. Do you know if you other Jabra was one that head 2 ear pieces to listen to music on?
I am going to order another one. I really like this one so much, it's going to be hard to replace it.
Okay, recently I had an issue where on my Evo the GPS would not detect any satellites at all. When I use applications that require the gps such as google maps and gps status the gps icons blinks indicating it's in use, but I never get any signal. On gps status no satellites show up. Currently I'm using sense 4.22 rom, I also tried with 4.24 and cyanogenmod and still no luck. I also tried the sense fix with the ##gpsclx# (something like that I think) and still no luck. Any suggestions?
have you tried that yet?

Okay I'm going to try that right now

Okay tried one of the drivers, still didn't work, I'm going to try wiping everything and re-installing the 4.22 rom
I've run into the same problem myself.
I've been switching between cm7 nightlies and mik's. Initially things worked just fine, but in the last day it won't get a lock. All I get is a flashing gps icon.
Tried the different drivers floating around, gpsclrx, etc. Not sure what to do at this point either.
Yeah, I just completely wiped everything and installed a fresh rom and still nothing...could the radio's have something to do with it?
I did that too.. No go.
I restored a sense rom, did a profile update, reboot.
Surprisingly, that seemed to work. Trying all the other things, I never did the profile update. So who knows... ymmv.. Good luck!
Btw, if you're on an airave, turn that off if you can when doing the profile update.
Okay thanks I'll try that.
If you don't know what it is, you don't have one.
An airave is sprint's version of a femtocell. A mini tower that uses your cable/dsl connection and broadcasts a low power cell signal. Used for areas of no/weak signal.

Okay so I just tried it, and rebooted multiple times but still a no go. What version of sense did you do it on?
I actually restored back to mik's 2.1 rom. Any sense should work though. Of course, as screwed up as this is, it could have very well been coincidence?
Hmmmm....okay, I think I'll try going back to a froyo rom and see if that works

Okay I don't know I'm about fed up with this. I have tried everything and nothing works. The GPS simply won't pick up signal!!!
Okay just another update, still nothing is working still says searching for GPS none of the Gps apps pick up signal, could this be a hardware issue?
Lol, okay I know I am practically talking to myself, but I just remembered something. About 2 weeks ago I went to the Sprint service center to have my back camera lens replaced. However, I haven't used the gps for a few days after that, but later that week, I noticed that it wasn't working when using my jogging app on the phone. So today I read online that someone else was having gps issue also, and it was the fact that a little connection in their gps antenna came loose. It could possibly be that while repairing it, they accidentally knocked out one of the connections to the gps antenna. I think I'll head over there tomorrow.
Good luck!

Okay so I just got back from the sprint store. I told the guy about my problem. At first he insisted it was working because in Google maps it shown my location but then I informed him it was just satellite signal. Lol so anyway..after about 20 minutes they decided it just didn't work, they're ordering a replacement phone which should be in, in about a week. Lol fun stuff
Glad you're getting it resolved.
As for me, anytime I have the device connected to the airave, the gps fails to acquire any satellite signal. As soon as I kill the airave and the phone connects to a tower, gps returns. This was not the case before, but the airave has been troublesome more times than not.
Practically however, you're obviously going to make use of the gps when not home, so it's somewhat of a moot point.
Lol yeah...well at least hopefully the replacement phone will work well...now..I just have to deal with rootig that
Okay another update my phone came in early, and the GPS on this one works!!!!!! Yay!!! Lol..now i'm just waiting for a root method hahaha
I had posted this in someones thread just thought I would rephrase the topic. Just got of the phone with sprint after 2 hours of troubleshooting. They made be restart my phone a million times didn't work, they made me reactivate the phone didn't work, and finally got transfered to someone with a bit of knowledge and its been working so far.
what they did with me on the was:
1. go to settings
2. system updates
3. update profile
4. restart
It hasn't gone to **** yet hope this works for the long run not for now.
Once again this is temporary fix until they figure out whats going on with the phones.
Its a samsung phone, for some reason they have some of the weakest gps signal I've dealt with...
it's because it's a cdma samsung phone. every single cdma samsung phone i've ever used or owned has had absolute terrible gps signal and support. granted, this phone has the best gps signal of any cdma samsung phone i've used yet, it's still ****ty in comparison with HTC.
gsm samsung phone dont seem to be plagued with terrible gps support.
I agree, I just switched from a HTC EVO 3D and never had any problems. That sucks because it's a great phone.
HTC EVO and evo3d, moto photon never had GPS problems, my samsung moment and ET4g always have, cdma has nothing to do with it.
I think one of the biggest things Samsung really needs to improve upon is software development and programming. Compared to other smartphone manufacturers, they suck at it.
Thats amazin...Ive never had a problem with GPS thru Sprint on all my EVO phones and now the Galaxy...Ive had many a custom Roms on here and still never a problem...Locks in Seconds...Only problem was with the ICS builds ...but there was a fix for that ...So now still on a ICS build fb21...Locks in seconds...
evo 3d no problems at all. the moment i switched to e4gt i started have problems with it locking on with stock brand new phone. have a new one now and it started doing the same crap again i'm using the fb21 before the fb17/15 and the same thing. i have learn to just do the quck fix and live with it until theres a permanent fix for this problem.
I have my E4GT flashed onto Boost mobile. The GPS has NEVER worked. When I try to update my profiles, I get an Error saying "Error: Client Authentication Error"
So, I assume it's because I'm on Boost.
Anyone know of a way to update my stuff? Maybe get this GPS working?

Not to burst your bubble, but people that have GPS issues almost always try to update their profile and or restart the phone. That's kinda basic I would think. Typically the issues are with the radio like people pointed or the drivers if flashing different ROMs. THis used to be a huge issue on CM7 back on EVO I remember.

Even though you are on Boost, the software and qpst for the E4GT is still set for Sprint. You have only manually changed the important parts to connect to the network.
You cannot update Sprint profile and PRL through the phone for boost. The way to "update your profile" would be to reset the APN settings and re-provision the device.
Running fb21 with little issue with GPS, no stupid fixes, it just worked. Un like other updates....just saying.

wow back to the same crap again with the new e4gt this is frustrating i thought a new phone later it will work but still the same crap. does anyone know pf a better fix than this before i go hostile on sprint. they still try to tell me its the area i live in. i just lost my evo 3d thats why i got this phone and never had one problem at all.
edit: can't post links, too much noob.
go to google code, search for -- Issue 38563: Upgrade to 4.1.2 broke tethering --
My tethering appears to have gone to crap since 4.1.2
There are quite a few variables so I'm not sure where the problem is, on top of that the issue is not 100% consistent.
It appears that when I am not tethered I get a decent ping on my phone (150ms, 95%)
Shortly after initiating a tether my connection goes straight to hell (300-3000ms 50%)
My laptop is often even worse than my phone.
This is usually with a full 5 bars of 'H'.
I'm gathering the ping stats from my phone with terminal emulator.
I'm using a MacBook Air.
I will try to reproduce the issue with my nexus 7 when I have some spare time.
Anyone else experiencing something similiar?

I, like many others have had this problem since 4.1.2, rolled back to 4.1.1 and WiFi tethering worked again. Back to 4.1.2, stopped working again. Installed 4.2 on Gnex yesterday hoping for fix but still no good.
As 4.1.2 is "old hat" now I have started new issue at Google for 4.2 here
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39618
Please anybody with same problem go there and add to report.
DO NOT turn it into a *****ing thread like so many here on xda.!!! The item to which luck02 referred for 4.1.2 at code.google.com is just full of twats ranting about their phone suppliers charges for data and crap like that.
code.google.com is to report faults and bugs and by everybody contributing pertinent information maybe Google will look for a fix. Trolling and whinging does nothing but obscure the facts...... please respect this. Just tell them model number, build and describe fault - thanks
Well there is definitely some ranting and twats involved but to my mind that's just part and parcel of being on the internet. Ignore and contribute as you can. Has anyone tried the CM build on the GNEX? Also, has anyone confirmed / denied whether third party wifi tether applications resolve the issue (requires root)?
Actually even more importantly, has anyone isolated where the breakage is actually occurring? I'm assuming it's something in the drivers / networking layer that is screwing up the routing between incoming data and the wifi layer...
I will probably downgrade if nothing else works.
So I got frustrated and rooted / installed clockwork recovery.
Moved to CM 10 and still have the same issue. I'm thinking it's actually a carrier issue for me at this point.
My carrier term expires in January and I'll probably go to a different carrier then.
Will follow up with more information as I have it, I may roll back to an older version of CM to confirm the problem is still occurring.

Definitely not carrier for me, proved by numerous attempts and firmware this weekend. Gnex running 4.1.1 everything works perfectly. Let phone do ota to 4.1.2, broke WiFi tethering and Bluetooth to vehicle completely. Reinstalled 4.1.1 thro Odin and re-partitioned at same time so completely clean install, WiFi tethering and Bluetooth worked perfectly. Continued on complete wipe track by then installing 4.1.2 thro Odin with re-partition (thus removing possibility that incremental upgrade to 4.1.2 was to blame) still no WiFi tethering or Bluetooth.
Did same for 4.2 using Odin still didn't work. Returned to 4.1.1 using Odin, everything worked.
Even made my own Odin package using radio from 4.1.1 (even tho supposedly same as 4.1.2) system and other files from 4.2 - same result, nothing worked.
To eliminate doubt used same sim card in two HTC phones running 4.0.4, both showed correct working and tethering and Bluetooth. Conclusion, not carrier/ supplier related, but surely random hardware/ firmware incompatibility on some examples of Gnex for unfortunate souls such as us
Tried two WiFi tethering apps with exact same result... shows tether as working, greyed out WiFi icon on tab and no go on laptop or desktop....I have spent hours on this to no avail
Have you tried any network diagnostics while not tethered?
I may be getting carrier and 4.1.2 issues. I was running some ping tests while not tethered yesterday. Full 5 bars of 'H+' running CM10 and I was getting horrible signal. More than 50% dropped packets and long ping times.
I'll roll back to an older CM sometime soon and see if there's a difference over the next couple of days.
Thank you,

I'm Noob, I got problem same error on 4.2 and 4.2.1, this issue over half a month.
I have google some website, found have several people like us have this issue and still no idea to fix it...
Mostly couldn't connect to laptop or Mac Book. For me is PlayStation Vita (firmware 2.0 Wifi only)
My PS Vita could deal with my galaxy Nexus on 4.1.2 , but 4.2 is could reach Internet correctly.
I have tried several Wi-Fi Device to connect my Galaxy Nexus,
My PC , My PS3, My PSP, My Uncle Galaxy Nexus 4.1.1 (Samsung image) are working fine.
Only my PS Vita couldn't...
But base on others, have same issue on other device, so I did think this issue may cause by 4.2.
Base on this issue, I have try "wifi-tether" , whatever this download on Google play! or "3.3 pre-2" on their website.
I have it running on Factory 4.2 , 4.2.1 Rooted + Super user, this couldn't work correctly.
Running on KALO 2.0 ROM, this have error on "Clamping MMS"....
No Luck for me.
My GNexus is only one device at the moment, which could let my PS Vita online... I have some PS Vita game need running online.
This force me stay on 4.1.2 and try disable System update notification next minute, for several weeks or month until the solution come...
Or... Anyone could build a patch which could let 4.2 using 4.1.2 Wi-Fi tethering engine?
A number of people on the Reddit googlepixel forum are reporting new bluetooth problems, like dropped connections and unable to connect, after upgrading to the January update.
I was planning to update my Pixel 3 XL tomorrow, but this issue is making me pause.
Are any xda members seeing new Bluetooth issues?
No problem here.
I have been using BT in my car for multiple phone calls calls and streaming Pandora since yesterday morning. No issues at all. I have not used Android Auto since the update though. Even before the update I found the interface a bit clunky even though it was working OK.
Funny, I just posted on Android Central about how the update fixed my BT problem. Previously, every time I got into my car, it gave a connection request(PIN and contacts authorization etc.) even though its been synced many times before. After the update, the past couple days no issues when plugging my phone in and Android Auto starts up right away and messages access is already there.
no problems with rooted stock rom on jan update
I use BT for my watch and headphones and no problems before or after Jan update. Perhaps tweaking the version of BT in developer settings could help.
