[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?

Edit
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)

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.

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] Tasker, wifi calling, gs2, there's no wifi calling app to select

I'm trying to have tasker enable/disable wifi calling when I connect to my home wifi.
I've been following this guide which I'm ok with until we get to the part where it involves the 'wifi calling app'. I used to have a vibrant but now with the gs2 it appears the wifi calling is baked into android itself.
Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to handle this step?

It is not an app, it is a system setting under wireless, so , although not familiar with Tasker, if it does not support system activities, as in selecting system settings, it may not work ......

There is no app for wifi-calling now. They switched to IMS based wifi-calling, and it is integrated into andriod now. 2.3.6 is the version that was released that has wifi-calling built in.
You can see the wifi-calling settings under Settings->Wireless and network. There is a check box to enable / disable it.
I always leave that box checked. So when ever I connect to a wifi network, wifi-calling always gets enabled.
So there should be no need to have a tasker enable/disable it.

Unless you only want to use it on specific networks.

Wifi randomly tuns back on....

Not sure if im missing a setting somewhere but my WiFi toggles itself back on randomly after i turn it off. I checked all the wifi settings under ADVANCED and everything looks like its in the correct setting...
Network Notification / unchecked
Keep WiFi on during sleep / (Tried both ALWAYS and NEVER)
Check for internet service / Unchecked
WiFi Timer / OFF
I am using Blazer ROM since I got the phone. Anyone having the same problem? It would be no big deal if the wifi radio didn't consume as much battery.

Not sure if Blazer rom has the option or not or if it would affect it turning back on, but is the Connections optimizer feature enabled?
Its under More Settings > Mobile networks > Connections optimizer

Sweet, I think that was it. I turned my fonts to 'TINY' and only read about 1/4 of the fine print. If it turns on again, ill just need to go out but buy some sage to rid my house of evil wifi spirits!
Thanks...

if i uncheck connection optimizer will it never looks for even lte?

I'm guessing "preferred network mode" will select the LTE preference or not. Connections optimizer only refers to WiFi in the help text.

After a bit of testing in different 4g spots I can say that the optimizer does not effect 4g at all. And it does indeed only refer to the wifi.

Connections optimizer was rolled out to "ensure phones haves the best possible connection without affecting battery life" On older WiMax phones it also does affect 4G. It uses location data and saved WiFi IDs to know when to connect. Sprint likes it because it offloads data onto wifi/4G whenever possible.

Ah ok good to know. Though I should of probably rephrased my post since it was a reply to gotojanoo to let him know that it does not stop the phone from searching for a lte connection.

No APN reset don't work. Get Disconnect from Mobile Data Service. But I see that the settings says when it is connected Network Type EDGE. But if it gets Disconnected then it says GSM
Edit: Attached ScreenShots

Go to developer options and turn on "cellular data always active". I use that on my phone and it picks up the cell signal almost instantly when out of WiFi range. I am still getting about 5 hrs SOT. ,

Okay i think this is gonna work, instand Switch to Mobile Data. And what to you mean with SOT @calbrs

Today i downloadet the system Update 3.2.2 and I think this bug is patched with this update . Actually no issues with the Mobile Data connection
EDIT: NO DONT work same issue

I have exactly the same issue with my OP3 OOS 3.2.2, no root. It is really annoying

Me too, it isn't handling the switch between mobile data and Wi-Fi very well, not sure whether it's just one way, when i get to work and connect to work Wi-Fi I've ended up having to turn off mobile data to get it to use the Wi-Fi connection.

It is two way. That's my observation. I am very disappointed from the phone which has such problems with basic thing like wi-fi connection. I think this will be my first and last OP phone!

So has anyone found a solution to this issue? What kind of flagship killer has problems with such basic functionality?
I've read on other forums that some devices have a feature called Smart Network Switch, but I can't find that anywhere.
And I really don't think it's the APN...I've modified it in all possible ways and it's still happening...not switching automatically but starts working after switching to airplane mode and back. And the "aggressive" switch option doesn't work either.
If anyone has any idea about how to fix this or how it can be further investigated, please share, it's becoming really annoying. Thanks!

I activated the Mobile Data on in the Developer Options and for me it works pretty well.

The IPv4/IPv6 solution seemed to work. I still have issues when connecting to the wireless network (company wifi, with login credentials and the whole deal) but I used to have the same issue with my Nexus 5, meaning that I have to be disconnected from the mobile data to access the wifi network's login page (forgot to mention this in my previous post). Anyway, I'm happy that I don't have to switch to airplane mode anymore Thanks everyone!

Verizon native tether subscription bypass

bypassing the verizon tether subscription check by installing network signal refresher, refresh signal and immediately turn on hotspot while refreshing. Confirmed working.
I did not come up with this. I have been using this method for a while now and can't remember where I originally got the information to give credit.

Which app are you referring to since there's a few of them called "network signal refresher"? I just installed the first one that showed up on google play search and tried it on my LG G4 and still got the verizon message for subscription.

You have to hit refresh on the app then instantly turn on your native hotspot... It works

Network signal refresher lite by 8JAPPS

Can confirm it does work when using signal refresher. Verizon UDP

You sir are a hero. Thank you.

I ended up adding a tasker shortcut to my home screen for this. In tasker, I set it to launch Network Refresher Lite. Then (using AutoInput Plugin from Play Store), I have it click on the refresh button, then enable hotspot and go home. Works perfect and no need for root!

How are you enabling hotspot with this. I can get it to activate LNR and hit refresh but then my task list dies when going to settings in order to get to hotspot

Currently I'm using Wifi Tether Router to hide my tethering from T-Mobile but I wonder if this will work the same. Can anyone confirm if this works for T-Mobile as well?

Here's what my tasker event is doing:
1. Launch App -> Network Refresher Lite
2. AutoInput - > Clicks the Refresh button
3. Wireless Settings -> Opens up wireless settings
4. AutoInput -> Clicks on Tethering & Portable Hotspot
5. AutoInput -> Clicks to enable Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot
6. Go Home
Hope that helps!

Accessibility is on for both of them.
It hangs too long before going to the next step sometimes, and therefore doesn't activate the hotspot soon enough after the NSR is refreshing...
