WiFi/3G issue - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hello
I have finally decide to post about this problem because i have tried several things to fix it but cant isolate the problem.
Everytime im at home i use WiFi, not 3G. The problem happens when i go out of my house after several hours of being at home, and the problem is that, i can call, but i have no 3g signal and i have to put the phone on airplane mode on and off.
The weird thing is that this doesnt happen at my working building. The WiFi at home is protected with a wpa2 pass.
Things i have tried to fix this:
Install new ROM (deleting cache system sd card dalviak), original aosp, original kernel
If anyone can help me pls.
Best regards and thx

[Q] Unable to connect to mobile network after using WiFi for some time.

I use my DHD for a lot of internet surfing. Usually i do it over mobile nework and it works fine. Sometimes though, i use WiFi for faster access.
After using WiFi for some time, if i again try to connect through the mobile network, it does not connect.
If i go into settings and turn on mobile network, it says turning on, and stays like that forever. If i press back and then come back into the network settings, the mobile network option shows as checked, but the status displays as "Connect to the internet". No icon is displayed in the notification bar, and i am not able to browse the net.
I have tried everything, switching to Airplane mode and back, turning WiFi on and off again, but nothing works. The only solution to this problem i'v found is to restart my phone. Once i restart, everything is back to normal (that is till i use WiFi again).
Has anyone else faced similar issues? Any suggestions for a possible solution?
PS: I am using unbranded, unrooted DHD with stock ROM (1.84.720.3)
I've noticed the issue a few times myself.
There seems to be no better solution other than to reset the phone.
I've only got it a couple of times and it doesn't seem frequent and so I don't really mind.
Similary I noticed that randomly the search networks feature freezes and after a few minutes reports that no networks were found, luckly, no reset is needed, only going back a couple of times and searching again
Hope someone else already found a solution to this and can post it!

I was facing this problem only once in a while, and didn't mind much. But lately, i'v been facing this problem everytime i use WiFi, and it's really bugging me now.
I really hope someone has a solution for this.
The same thing is happening to me on my htc MT3G slide (not using wifi) after I flashed a ROM and updated the radio to the most recent one. Dunno why this is happening :/ It's the same rom (rooted version) and I updated to the same radio I had before. Restarting doesn't help either
I have got the same problem sometimes. And the easiest sollution is to turn to airplane mode and leave for few seconds. After that turn it off enter pin and everything back to normal. It have always worked for me.

Wifi not working after phone has been idle for a while

This started happening to me couple days ago. My phone is connected to wifi at home, and whenever I want to use my phone after its been in idle, everything looks normal. The wifi signal is there, but there is no data, I cannot check email, browse internet, anything with data. Only way to fix it is to reboot or turn wifi off and then back on. Everything is fine when I'm on 3g, there are none of these issues. I am on Calk 2.7 (not 2.8) with the latest kernal, EL28 (I think thats the latest).
If I have an app running in the back that is constantly using data (google music) (recall, ONLY on wifi, NOT 3G), the app stops working whenever the phone goes into idle, I guess. Basically leaving a data consuming app ruining in the background did not help the issue.
I have tried searching, and some other people have experienced the issue on different devices (NOT epic touch), but no threads offer any solution(s).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had this issue on my previous epic touch and I took it back and exchanged for another one and the one I have now doesn't do it. It had the same problem u describe. Might want to check your router first though since it just started. Mine always did it and it did it on other Wifi networks. Good luck.

I've seen this happen on four different E4GTs. It seems random and only occasional. I've seen it on EG30 and EK02 stock, I haven't tried other "modems" or roms yet. I'm not sure what causes it, but a quick wifi toggle seems to fix it. Seems like the wifi radio just sort of "freezes. " Wifi sleep policy set to never, doesn't seem to make a difference. Minor annoyance.

What baseband are your running? Have you tired another baseband?
I didn't think the modem has anything to do with wifi. I have this issue on certain wifi networks I use. I have made tweaks to see if it is security settings or what but haven't figured out a pattern yet. I use a wifi widget and it looks like DHCP hangs up cuz it won't give it an IP. I reboot the wifi router and it works right after evertime. I will sometimes powercycle wifi on the phone and it will work. I really think it is a wifi router setting for the network but not sure which yet.

Mobile data issue??

Hello everybody,
my galaxy nexus randomly loses mobile data. This issue is not present with wifi connection but only with mobile data.
The only solution is make a reboot and after that mobile data begins to work again.
I've tried to update radio (now i've got XL1) but the problem persist
I also flashed a new rom ARHD 2.1.3 and for now no problem but i've flashed yesterday, so I'm waiting to see if the problem is solved or not.
I read in the forum that i'm not the only one, any solution about this annoying issue?
thanks
Hi,
can confirm the same issue, overall signal seems very poor now I'm at ICL53F.
can you pls paste a link for ARHD Rom? i want to test it, but can't find it using search...
thank you

Do you use JuiceDefender?
Same happens here, and I exchanged my phone to see if it would stop. At least it hasn't happened as much. My advice would be to put a toggle on your homescreen for airplane mode. That always remedies it rather quickly and is a workaround until Google gets on it.

I second the Juicedefender guess. That app turns off my data routinely, causing a delay of up to 2-3 minutes waiting for it to re-connect. I had to get rid of it for that reason.

Nope,
i'm thinkg about to send my phone at samsung assistance, but i'm not the only one, i also think that google can fix that with a future update, but for now this problem is terribly annoying
I have similar issues but mine only started showing up since I started using Tasker to turn mobile data off when phone screen is off and turn back on when phone is unlocked.
One way I can get the data to work again is by turning aeroplane mode on then waiting around 5 seconds and then switching aeroplane mode off. That works for me. Another way I usually go about it is to switch my screen off then on again and my Tasker script disables and enables mobile data.

It's a common issue, people say ARHD eliminates the problem, not sure about that since im in love w/ franco and running AOKP milestone 2. Its a software issue, and will hopefully be fixed in the future. It happens irrespective of radios. toggling wifi on and off resets it 90% of the time
Also theres about 50 posts on this so please follow the rules you had to watch when you joined the forum and search next time.

Note II Sleep Mode Wifi Drop Problem

Hi everyboby,
I'm an old android, but also newbie Galaxy Note II user. At the end of my two days experience I observed that wifi drops out when after ~ 10-25 minutes the phone entered the sleep mode. I tried factory reset, changing wifi channel on router, changing wifi encryption mode but its didn't work. After that, i'm trying disable mobile data and wifi issue has gone. What could have caused this? A hardware problem or sofware oriented? Or an incompatibility issue between phone and router?
I'm also tried another wifi in the another location and i never faced that problem. But all the devices in my house can connect smoothly to the router.
I'm installing wifi fixer app from play. I tried with that app.
I didn't work unfortunately. When i exit sleep mode, app repaired wifi connection resetting wifi connection. But it means when the phone in sleep mode wifi has not been transfered data.
Open wifi in settings.
Then click menu and select advanced.
Then tick keep on during sleep.

[Q] Problems with Mobile internet

I am facing a very peculiar issue that makes my mobile internet dysfunctional. Whenever I switch from 2G/3G to WiFi and then switch back to 2G/3G from WiFi, the internet refuses to work unless I restart my phone. Once, the phone is restarted, it works like a charm again till the time I switch to WiFi again. Sometimes though, 2G/3G would not work even if I do not switch to WiFi. Also, rarely, it still may work even as I switch back from WiFi to 2G/3G. This issue has plagued me since a long time and is sometimes accompanied by call drops.
I took my phone to a Samsung Service centre but it wasn't of any use. They do nothing except reflashing the stock rom. It did fix the problem for a while but in an hour or in a day(or in some random time duration) the problem resurfaced. I took my phone to the service centre, just to get this problem fixed. I have tried switching between different modes in settings: GSM/WCDMA/auto etc
I also tried contacting my mobile carrier and got my sim card changed. Therefore, the mobile carrier is not at fault (Internet works flawlessly after I restart, remember?). How do I fix this? It is really irritating to restart the phone every time I need to use the internet. Please help! :-/
Maybe try flashing a different modem. I had various data and call issues on my i9300. After flashing 10 or so different modems I found one from aveuropean carrier worked best. Im in the uk btw

Thanks for replying thedadio!
But I've never flashed a modem before and have no clue which one to choose. Is it same as flashing a custom rom? Also, can I brick my device while flashing modems?
Yes its similar to flashing custom ROM. What ROM are you on and what modem are you on?
McLaren__F1, I am on stock 4.1.2. Also, I just tried flashing DDALJ1 modem (As I'm from India) and Perseus kernel. None of these steps helped me in any way. Still the same issues. :-/
Which is your network provider? I had the similar problems when I was on docomo..nw ported to airtel nd problem solved.
Btw did you try some other np's sim?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
I am currently using Airtel (Prepaid). I haven't tried using any other np's sim though..
I have the exact same problem. I am with optus Australia. I tried different modems, different ROMs but all have the same problem. I have sent mine away to be replaced and am still waiting for the new one. Very frustrating problem.

I'm not sure if they'll replace mine. It has been almost 6 months since I bought it..
How do I solve this? Any clue anyone? :|
My Note2 does this sometimes & only fix is a restart.
try soft format may its helpful
Not a fix, but toggling airplane mode on and off does the job for me.
Interestingly this happens to me only when leaving one particular WiFi access point.

i got exatly same proplem, 3g not working after leaving wifi of my workplace, but when im home i have no proplems if i decide leave my home network.
could it be related to radio type wifi has?? my workplace still using old hardware with radiotype of .g and leaving that network "kills" mobile network and i need to reboot phone, but my home network is .n and im not having proplems after leaving it. if its related to wifis radiotype it should be easy for someone to write script which reboot mobile network after leaving those wifi networks.

Doesn't work for me. This problem is strange. :-/
No one has a solution for this problem on XDA?
Did you use the NFC to scan anything by any chance? I don't know if it could be related but my phone started to have issues around the same time I bought some NFC tags and started programming and scanning them.
I still haven't got my replacement phone back yet. But I'll let you know if it still has issues in my problem spots. Than we'll know if the problem was with the phone or just this model.

Nope! I haven't used NFC at all.
Ohh, okay..Eagerly waiting for your response! *Fingers crossed*
Tested replacement phone today and the problem seems to be gone. The signal was actually stronger than all my previous phones.
This issue could be a hardware problem as from what I have searched on the net it seams to affect only a few people. I just hope if I root the phone the problems don't come back.
Maybe you could try send it away for repair if they won't replace it.

Looks like I spoke too soon. The issues are still there. While waiting for my replacement phone I was using an old HTC wildfire and had no issues with the data connection so it must be an issue with this model.
