Hello,
TLDR: issues with wireless and 3g connection are pretty often on my phone. Wless icon and signal strength icon simply turn gray (while they are blue when connection is active). I have several services that use internet always on - from e-mail to other sync processes.
I have connection issues pretty often. I'm suspecting it might be something related to hardware, because it used to happen on several android os versions. It came to me as yakju version I think (if that's one of the versions that doesn't receive OTA updates), but I used instructions found on this forum in order to "convert" it to version that gets OTA updates. (This is a bit of phone history )
Problem with 3G happens pretty often when browsing the internet. I open some page with no issues, only to find that clicking some link on the page doesn't work. Sometimes I'm able to load it after several retries, sometimes not. I wasn't able to find any rule. For example, FB application works on 3G in only 50% of cases. It simply reports connection issues and that's it.
Then it's wireless... Several times today my wireless indicator and signal strength indicator turn gray (which I think means that there's no connection). After turning wless off and on again things come back to normal, but it's pretty annoying.
Is there a way to troubleshoot this? Does anyone else have these problems?
TIA

Hi,
I have been using Wifi on my Qtek 9090 for several months already with no pb (except maybe the poor signal level).
I installed recently a VPN software to connect to my company's intranet. Works just fine. I can now access my work emails at any time from anywhere.
The only thing is that since then, when I start wifi on the unit, the check box does not get "ticked" and it gives the impression that Wifi was not started. BUT when the upper left light is blinking, the battery gets drained a lot faster and when I look at the network cards, I can see the available wifi networks. All signs of being connected.
So far I would not mind too much but I can not STOP Wifi anymore. I did not find anyway to stop it (of course, since all software apps controlling are saying that it is stopped already)...
Anyone has seen this somewhere? Any idea on how to fix this?
Thanks !
Sorry for asking again but I'm really stuck with that. I can start wifi on the unit but when started I can not stop it anymore !!! It seems that the software apps controlling wifi do not see it started and thus do not ofer the possibility to stop it.
This makes it impossible to use wifi since baterries can not afford wifi always on...
Anyone has seen this somewhere already?
I have a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 rooted with the stock ROM running (Deodexed_T999UVDLH3.zip). Everything on the phone is running fine, and I have no problems accessing the Internet on either Wi-Fi on my home or public networks or over 4G.
I am having one odd issue, though. In my office, we have a Guest Wi-Fi Network that I have typically connected to. I get 4G in my office, but the Wi-Fi saves on my data plan. Logging into the guest network requires opening the typical splash page and clicking on the button to accept the general terms. Now that I have routed the phone, I cannot log into this guest network.
When I try to log into the wireless connection, I can open the browser, and the splash page comes up, but when I click on the accept button, the phone vibrates once, sits for about five seconds, then vibrates three times quickly and shuts the browser down. The same thing happens if I click the link to open the terms and conditions page. The Wi-Fi connection under settings shows as connected, but I cannot get any data to or from my phone. The Play store times out, and the browser will only load the splash screen for login again.
In searching this forum, I found posts that instructed clearing out all of the cache and the cookies, and I have done this. It did not resolve the issue. I did not find any other posts that seem to relate to this problem.
I am a relative newbie when it comes to rooting, and this forum has been extremely helpful. I'm hoping that someone may recognize what is going on with my issue, and can point me in the right direction to get it fixed. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Found several references to this question but all outdated or not relevant to the Gnex... is there a way to restrict a search to a specific forum ie the Gnex forum?
I just discovered that my disconnected Droid X can still access the net and the Play store, etc. I want to use my Gnex phone to do that too; but worry that it won't know I'm on WiFi and chew up data, and get git with a big, unexpected, bill for excess data use.
Is there an app or a Widget that will turn off, or disable, Data use when there is an active WiFi connection? So that I don't have to remember to do it when I get home or leave home?
I wonder about public WiFi connections; I wonder if automating the process would be a good idea after all; unless there were a way to choose the WiFi connection to access.
ps It looks like I may have found the answer in "Data On-Off" :victory:

Great you found the "answer", reported this to moderation team for closing.
Why would you even bother to bump/report it 72 hours later? The thread was fine where it was.
good day.

Because it had no replies; Because OP did not edit the title thread to include the [SOLVED] tag; Because the OP should have done it himself (reporting the thread for closing); Because it was 72h old, and not 3 months; I reported it to prevent the thread from being necrobumped, on a matter as trivial as this. If it's a 3rd party app OP was looking for, then this might even be more appropriate on Android General, since he "didn't want to remember" himself to shut data connection off, and there isn't a sw or a hw issue so..
Now, if my report didn't get this thread closed, this post (or the following) will.
Sent from my Nexus
This issue started a couple of days ago. This has been two weeks since the last OTA. I don't recall changing any settings, the only thing I have tried recently is to use the phone as a hotspot. It did work, but then I turned it off as my carrier doesn't support the use of hotpots on phones.
When wi-fi is off or when I am out of range, the phone will start to battery drain, get really hot, and the 4G icon flashes. It will stay on for a few seconds, then disappear. It does this non stop. It will kill the phone in 2-3 hours. The carrier in the notification menu will also switch from my carrier to "emergency calls only" as the 4G icon is flashing on and off. I can't really access websites, sometimes they will load, but mostly I get the no internet connection error. If NFC is turned on, the NFC icon also flashes on and off. I'm not sure if my NFC works on the phone, I can't get it to send pictures to other devices, or use google wallet. That may be a separate issue, or they may be a hardware issue.
Within range of wifi I don't have these issues. The 4G icon stays on, and the NFC icon stays on, but the NFC still doesn't seem to work. Has anyone else experienced these issues? I have cleared the cache in the recovery, but it didn't help. I'd rather not wipe my phone and lose how it is set up. I'm hoping there is a settings fix before I try that. I may have to send it to Asus for repair.
Haven't seen this issue however one setting you can check is under Settings/WiFi/Advance (menu in upper right corner)/Scanning always available/Turn Off - This can help improve battery life.
Please ensure to update firmware to latest version. Please also see ZenUI app called ASUS support for some helpful tips and troubleshooting assistance under Apps/ASUS Support/Assistance/System /Device Overheat - follow troubleshooting methods. Factory data reset or hardware rest may be required if problem continues. Please feel free to contact me direct if this requires ASUS RMA service.
Sincerely,

Hello together,
since I couldn't find anything about that issue in detail beyond the usual vague articles (where one copies the mediocre content from someone else, it seems) such as this one, I'd like to share the following:
Using a SM-F926B which natively came with Android 12 (F926BXXU1BVA9 preinstalled and also after having it updated further to F926BXXS1BVB3), I have the issue that the data connection using 4G(+) (APN-wise and nowadays the lovely internet access of course) although staying connected, doesn't pass any traffic anymore at some point. The small "arrow" in the upload direction is periodically showing up then but nothing in the downstream direction, rendering the whole thing effectively offline, both directly and any tethered device connected to it, which is very annoying. Only quick resolution is to toggle the famous airplane mode.
While it is on one hand appreciated to occur not all the time, it also makes it more difficult to narrow down the error. In conjunction with the German provider O2 it occurred maybe every 1-2 days. During the last time it happened, I had a SMS being sent to the Fold which got successfully delivered so the mobile connection itself stays active (neither does the service monitor available though *#0011# shows anything suspicious) so it seems to be an issue with rather the APN-related connection. A problem with the provider network can be ruled out though as a Netgear LBR20 with another SIM from the same contract runs perfectly fine since ~ 180 days.
Meanwhile I downgraded to Android 11 (F926BXXU1AUJ7) to see if the same error occurs as well, hinting on a hardware issue (a very interesting one then, though as the overall data throughput performance of the Fold 3 is amazing) or some incompatibility with Android 12 (which would then however also raise the question why not all exemplars are affected the same way, which suggests hardware differences even within one model line such as that very F926B).
Has anyone of you experienced that or a similar phenomenon?
