I recently flashed takju on my Gnex that came with yakjuxw. The update has been great and I'm so glad I did it after being too intimidated to do it for the longest time. However now I have a problem being able to tether to my computer (through wifi, usb, and bluetooth) and my geolocation doesn't always work. The weird problem I'm having with geolocation is that it works for most apps but will not give me a weather location in beautiful widgets (I've tried using google and accuweather, google gives me absolutely nothing and accuweather gives me either N/A or Ontario), nor will it work when I try to google something like "movie times". Can anyone help me out? It's especially really annoying not being able to tether since I use my unlimited plan as my wifi connection and now I'm stealing off someone else's wifi.
Can anyone help me on this?

Has anyone else had trouble accessing Google Talk over 3G? If I don't use WiFi, it constantly tells me "unable to access server." If I do turn on WiFi, and then shut it off, GTalk shows everything grayed out. If I don't sign in to GTalk, I can't use the market. What's going on here? I was able to use GTalk on 3G *once* today. Not anymore.
My googletalk hasn't been able to sign in for the past 2 days.
It will randomly not be able to connect but then later connect for a few minutes and sign out.
I'm connected to wifi and its working now however.

Just had this problem on my girlfriend's Epic. It has to do with the Market, they're linked to your account and you can't have on without the other (from experience). I tried rebooting, clearing market and gtalk cache and the new update that came out a few days ago but nothing seemed to work. I finally did a factory reset and everything worked like it should.

It's just plain stupid that this is necessary. Android is starting to really grate on my nerves lately.
Hmmm, my GTalk works when on wifi or 3G. Now when I change connections from one to the other it takes some time to reconnect sometimes. That I do notice.
Forgive My Brevity. To Be Or Not To Be...
I had to hard-reset the damn thing. Adding Google accounts was giving me the stupid "Could not establish a reliable connection to the server" bullcrap. Of course, everything works *wonderfully* now (minus GPS, of course), and the phone is nice and fast again. What is this, Windows Mobile?!
Edit: GAH! It's happening again! "Could not connect to server. Will retry shortly" when on 3G! WTF, Google. I just wasted 2 hours reinstalling apps after a hard reset just to get this crap all over again.
So is this for sure a problem on googles side?? Cuz only few people seem to confirm this issue. I'm still within my 30 days, so I can exchange my phone if its a specific phone related problem..
I don't know. Some rocket surgeon over at Google decided that it was best to allow multiple Google accounts on the phone and sync everything, but not let you change Gtalk accounts. Their response to the bug? They try to throw the Gtalk team under the bus and close the bug report.
Okay, and now it's working again. I moved around to another Sprint tower and everything worked again. This actually happened yesterday. Now I'm back to my original location where the bug showed itself the first time, and things still seem to be working. I'm going to avoid reboots for now...
I am having the same problem

I am also having the same problem with my Galaxy S2. Has anyone resolve this without resetting it to factory setting?
I apologize if this issue has been addressed before, but I've searched and searched and found nothing.
I'm running CyanogenMod version 10.2, installed with the new installer. When I'm on wifi or 4G, everything works as expected. When I am on 3G, however, I lose the ability to connect to google. This includes:
Google Now
Google voice search
google.com in a browser
Play Store
As I mentioned before, I can use all of these services as well as connect to google.com if I am connected to wifi or on 4G. I have had this problem with every version of CM I've used over the past year or so, and I've never found anyone else who has run into it. I'm at my wit's end and I have no idea what to do. Every time I've tried to run CM on this phone, I've run into this issue and I've always reverted back to touchwiz.
Any help is greatly appreciated. If you have any suggestions at all, please let me know!
Thank you!
Hi everyone,
I updated to 4.4.2 today and since this afternoon my WiFi arrows (both up and down) have been stuck on. I can't for the life of me figure out what is causing this. I have rebooted, stopped suspected Google services, disabled sync....everything I can think of. Nothing works. It started around the time I was playing with getting Google Cloud Print to print a test page. The page didn't print so I went into the web portal for Cloud Print and deleted the job. I don't know if this is related to the WiFi issue I am having, but it might be.
Any one have the same issue? Any ideas on a fix? Any app that can tell me what is using the WiFi?
Oh...and when I turn WiFi off and go to mobile data, there is NO transfer of data shown. Only when WiFi is on.
I'm pure stock (Sense 5.5) and not rooted or s-off
Thanks!
Dear folks!
I have been experiencing a significant problem for a while already and looking for how to solve it, and I hope someone of you can give me some help. Any advice appreciated. I couldnt find any concrete solution for this.
Let me start to explain you.
My sister is actually the one using Samsung Galaxy S4 mini (not rooted, Android 4.4.2), and we both have the same problem. Mine is Samsung Galaxy S Relay (rooted, Android 4.4.4).
Our wifi download speed from speedtest.net results directly about 40 Mbits/sec and I can't even believe it!
But when it comes to for example Facebook, Youtube, Google Play, it takes a long time for loading, especially the pictures. Worse on youtube videos, in most of the cases, it can't even load anything, it stops and only after several refresh I can see something, and again very slow.
On mine computer, it is all fine though. Also on our mobile data everything is working perfect and fast.
On my galaxy, I have tried different Android versions, but nothing changed, wifi still slow. Whatever we do on our mobile, change the ROM, factory reset, nothing helps. And the strangest thing is, that when my friend tried our wifi on his Nokia mobile, it worked also fast and without an issue.
It may sound strange, but our problem has exactly started when there was an upgrade of the ISP in our city. After experiencing like that, I have called them and they recommended me a new router. The new router didn't change anything.
My ISP suggested me to try another channels on the router.. I have tried them all. Sill the same problem, and they can not help me any further so far.
If it is an andoid issue, what else can I try?
If it is a router issue, what can I try on its settings? I believe there is an interface/connection problem between samsung and my router or new ISP settings, maybe some change in the settings could fix it?
I would appreciate any help from you guys.
Thank you in advance!

I am having a problem with the wifi in my house and my Verizon Note 4. Some apps load very slow such as YouTube, Inbox/Gmail, Instagram, and Google play music for example won't play music at all. I also sometimes don't get hangouts notifications on time. Fairly often I have to open the actual conversation thread for the messages to show up. The weird thing is other apps seem to work flawlessly; Falcon Pro, Reddit Now, Pandora and Google Plus all work with no issues at all.
It gets even more frustrating....
My nexus 7 (2013) and my girlfriends HTC One (M8) work fine connected to the same wifi network.
The issues on my Note 4 all go away when connected to the wifi at my girlfriends house or when on 4G at home.
This leads me to believe the Note 4 just doesn't like my wifi here at home. I feel like I have tried EVERYTHING... Forgotten the wifi connection, made sure all the advanced wifi settings are correct, reset my router, I have even factory reset my phone but nothing has changed.
If anyone has any ideas please help. It will be greatly appreciated!!!

I also have some wifi issues. I can maintain connection with the wifi, however, the connection 'degrades' after the a couple of seconds to minutes and after the phone goes to sleep. I tried the following:
1. Airplane mode on and off
2. forgetting wifi and resigning in
3. rebooting
4. factory reset
5. router firmware update (Verizon fios Actiontec m1424wr).
No success... I've connected to other wifi sources (at verizon store, public restaurants, and mobile hotspots) and it would maintain a reliable connection like usual.
I'm getting a replacement Note 4 from Verizon. If that doesn't fix it I don't know what will...

This probably won't solve your WiFi problem, but maybe while you are at home you can use the "download booster" function? If you have unlimited data, of course, because it will use your 4G if I'm not mistaken(?) s:
After trying numerous things I finally received my replacement Note 4. Turned it on and connected... no wifi issues at all. This meant that it was not an issue with my router and instead isolated to the actual phone itself.
Very happy that this worked, though unfortunately it isnt the quickest fix. I suggest turning it in for a replacement if all else fails
