[SOLVED] WiFi not working properly? 3G/4G stays on due "My Account" App

So when i am home i have my WiFi on, which means my 4g is off. Now when the WiFi is on, i can not receive or send pictures. Also cant use the web or do anything like that but just send and receive text/calls.. and reason to this? maybe i have certain settings on that i don't know about? If i remember right, my wifi worked properly a few days ago.. but i cant remember exaclty. Help please? Thanks

no one knows?

Power cycle your router?

I've been having a different wifi issue. at home I have only edge coverage but I have petty good cable internet so obviously I want to use my wifi but for some reason the phone connects to wifi yet still uses the mobile network unless I turn off mobile data. My wifi sleep policy is set to never btw. Any ideas?

Also if I turn off mobile data while connected to wifi then turn it on while still connected it stays on wifi fine. Its like the mobile radio is preventing the wifi connection from fully initializing or something

Same issue!

I am having the same issue. I have to go into airplane mode, then turn on wifi to actually be able to use it... otherwise seems to default to mobile radio...

I have the same issue..this is what i do to work around it though:
1. Go to Settings>Wireless and Networks>Mobile Networks
2. Uncheck packet data, and then check it again.
Once i do this, my wifi works again, let me know if it works for you.

Got this from the battery thread. This actually fixes the wifi issue on my SG2
The program is called Llama and can be downloaded from the market. I deleted all the default events and just added these 2. Hope this helps for all of you with this issue.

-- Add action: Toggle Mobile Data (off)
- Add another event called WiFi Disconnected
-- Add condition: WiFi Disconnected (any network)
-- Add action: WiFi Sleep Policy (sleeps when screen turns off)
-- Add action: Toggle Mobile Data (on)

Try freezing "my account". It toggles data even with WiFi is on. Try it and let me know.

Actually saw this tread and had Llama installed with these 2 profiles added and was till getting this issue... Going to try Freezing My Account to see if that helps... I know it helped with my wifi issues on my G2x.
Update: Nothing seems to work now. Can't have Wifi and cell radio on at the same time... can get calls but nothing else...

I've seen it occasionally as well. I haven't needed to reboot though. It usually recovers after I toggle WiFi on and off and mess with some other things.

I notice the same issue and I also toggle wifi on and off to get it to work back again.

Recently I have noticed that the wifi on my phone stops working randomly...even though it says it's connected. Usually I can solve this problem by rebooting; should I return the device?

Yes, either return or warranty exchange for a new one, I have not noticed this issue with my device at all.

I've been having the same issue and it definitely causes excessive battery drain. Sometimes toggling wifi off then on works. Other times it requires toggling mobile data off then on.
I had it happen just now and tried freezing 'my account' in titanium backup as suggested and my 4g indicator immediately turned off. Sweet! It seems that 'my account' is the culprit!
Edit: I really wish this topic wasn't merged...I think there were a couple 'wifi problem' threads talking about different issues. To clarify, my problem was that while on wifi my 4G indicator would sometimes turn on and consume more battery and (sometimes) force all data to use 4G instead of wifi. Really annoying!

[Q] WiFi not working properly? 3G/4G stays on
My mobile data doesn't always turn off when wifi is on. Any ideas?

same here ,dont know what that is

[Q] GALAXY NEXUS network connection type confusion

Does anyone know how to fix this issue? My phone seems to get confused about if it should be connected through wifi or 3g/4g for data. For example, if I am at home and connected to my wifi, then get in the car and leave without disabling wifi, the phone acts as if it does not recognize the 3g/4g connection at all. It will just tell me I have no network connection since I am out of range of wifi. Same happens when I am connected with 3g/4g and I walk/drive by a wifi area and I do not join the network. The open app that is using data will then loose its connection and tell me there is no network connection. Simply disabling my wifi and restarting the app does not work. I often have to reboot the phone or turn off my mobile data signal and then enable it to establish a connection.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have this problem also, I will have something like streaming music playing then when I am out of range of wifi it dose not go to 3g on verizon. If I don't have any thing using wifi and disable it before going out of range and starting a stream no problem, but when it happens I switch to airplane mode then back and it works fine.
Your not the only one who has this problem.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Same here. Not sure what's causing it. I have to go into airplane mode, which itself seems to take ages, and then turn off airplane mode to establish 3g connection.
I thought it may be a mess up from aokp, and after a clean wipe and flash it seemed fine, but then started showing the same behavior , failing to comnect to 3g after exiting wifi zone.
Does anyone have an answer for this problem? Is it a hardware glitch or software or app caused problem?
Any help would be dearly appreciated too!

Thanks for the info. Glad to hear it doesn't seem like a hardware problem, though I have yo admit I didn't see it on the aokp wikis ... Would you know if it's a problem for an unknown minority our a more general one?
So, I guess, then stock room should be fine? I was only on stock for a few days before flashing aokp. Going back would be a nuisance, but if I can have armless transition from wifi to 3g, then I guest I should -( ...
Any talk on when it may be solved in the aosp community?

Wifi calls.....

Any calls made over wifi on my note 3 sucks even used third party apps as well but on my note 8.0 wifi calls works good.. I tried few methods to fix it and nothing... Any help??
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Suck how? poor voice quality or dropping connection mid sentence and telling you signal is weak, when you stand 2 ft from router?
I had second one: GS3 worked fine, data worked good, but Wifi calling just didn't work on Note3.
After someone's suggestion from here I checked my router, it had auto update off, I changed that to on, verify manually I'm on the latest router firmware and it works like a charm ever after.
If it's the first one, yeah, it could sound better and I hear HD voice does not work yet, so once Tmo fixes that, should be much better, at least between sets supporting it.

Poor voice quality and dropping connection. I stand next to router still the same. So your saying auto update my router firmware and turn auto update on? And your note 3 wifi calls work? Can you give me the steps how to do that and does it interfere with any other devices connected to the router? Thanks...

Router shows firmware is up to date and still I'm having wifi call problems

Ok read all the everything from the above link. No real answer to what is causing it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using xda premium

We provided some answers on what to turn off and what makes it show up. There may be no way to fully keep it off as I have concluded that it may or may not be the phones radio doing updates in intervals. I rarely see it pop up now after that discussion.

Turn off smart network switching in WiFi options.

That does nothing. It is still going to come on randomly. If you have location on it will show up. I've also noticed it blinks on and off when using Hangouts to send a text. This is all happening with WiFi on.

Of course it blinks on and off because txts don't go through WiFi. Txts and calls and GPS information(I think) go through the provider network, which is why it shows up when you text/calls/gps. For the times it doesn't need the provider network, only WiFi icon will shop up.

Uh... I already know that but provide the info in case someone doesn't know that. There are people that assume everything goes through WiFi with 4G off. So by me saying that it blinks on and off is an indication to them that 4G is being used because it's a text.
We are basically providing info letting others know why 4G comes on if they have WiFi on already.

Like the OP stated in the post title, the 4g icon stays on, and not just comes off & on. In my case, it'll stay on for about 20+ minutes, and this is with the smart connect unchecked and while doing abosolutely nothing. No reading, no texting or email, GPS turned off.
Ive tried all the suggested answers, and the only solution that works for me is to turn off the network.

Correct. Mine has been for the last couple of hours doing nothing. Only thing that would fix it is a reboot.

If you mean when WiFi is on your seeing the wifi bars and mobile bars at same time that is normal. Your only using your mobile data if you are seeing 5G or LTE showing next to the mobile bars.

I'm seeing the wifi icon AND the 5g icon then the mobile bars, is that normal?
Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

No in that case that wouldn't be normal. Only thing I can suggest is when your on WiFi turn off Mobile Data. I do that all time. No sense having both on when you only using one. You will still get texts and phone calls. You just won't get pics or videos through text until you turn mobile data on again.
So try that and see what happens when you turn mobile data off.

So I spoke to t-mobile again, they said if im connected to now wifi it'll use wifi first, but it my wifi drops it just shows what connectivity I'll be using? Idk
Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

Mine used to do the same I had to uninstall visual voicemail. Not that it had any negative effect, I just didn't like both icons been displayed at once. I'm on Mint Mobile with an unlocked S20.

Usually when that happens is when you use an app that only uses data. Just like my Three app in the UK, doesn't use WiFi and you only can use it with data.
If you opened any sort of Tmobile app, force close it and put your phone into flight mode then turn flight mode off, or restart your phone.
It sometimes glitches out and doesn't go away, its really annoying.

This setting in developer options will cause this. Turn it off and your LTE/5G icon will go away when disconnected from wifi.
