[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.

yes, does seem to work, but agree it's frustrating.... Hope they fix this soon.

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 condition: WiFi Connected (any network)
-- Add action: WiFi Sleep Policy (never sleep)
-- 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.

Same here. I have to toggle wifi on/off and sometimes reconnect through wifi settings to get it back.

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] Mobile Network Connection Problem

I'm using RCMix3D Runny v4.0 on my DINC2 and at least once a day I lose my mobile network connection. I don't lose reception or anything. I've tried several different radios.
The connection sometimes comes back with a restart, sometimes not. Sometimes I can go into settings, turn off mobile network (which seems to take 20 minutes just to turn off), and then turn it back on and it will start.
Anyone have any ideas or the same problem?

Did you post this in his thread?

How do you disable the Phone standby entirely?

I have the Note 8 GT-N5100 which is the 3G version that can make calls. It was the only available version in the market here and I do not use it for its phone functions. I see it eats up 3-4% of the battery power, even without a SIM card in place. How would I turn that off, but still will be able to turn it back on when I need it for calls? Putting it to plane mode shouldn't be the solution as I like it to connect to wifi immediately.

Put it in flight mode and then turn just Wi-Fi on.

I also have the same situation.
I just put the device into flight mode and enable the other connectivity options when required like wifi or bluetooth.
It works very well
Sent from my GT-N5100 using XDA Premium HD app

Fortunately, flight mode and "wifi on" at the same time is possible with the Note 8....
I use my Note 8 3G without GSM enabled all the time.
Wifi is still on and syncing / exchange push mail works like a charm.
Using the pull down menu to enable and disable connectivity options is convenient enough for me.
Otherwise use something like Tasker to automate 3G availability.

LG g3 WiFi issues

Is anyone else having this problem? My phone keeps dropping the WiFi signal even if I'm next to the WiFi router. The WiFi indicater shows good signal with all bars lit at all times and I don't get any notifications of signal being low but it still doesn't load/connect to anything. It's very sporadic, but regular.. once singal is lost it won't load anything for a minute or 2 even if the WiFi on the phone is turned off and on. I've tried resetting the router but the problem still persists. All other devices connected to the same WiFi don't have any problems. I'm using the virgin super hub by netgear.

Same over here. I have 3 other devices on the same router and none have a problem. Restarting the router does not solve the problem.

I have a similar issue at my partner's house. When I first got the phone I had no issues connecting to the 5 Ghz wi-fi connection, but lately I have issues with the 5Ghz, but connecting to his 2.4 Ghz connection works well. His device and other household devices work well on the 5 Ghz connection. It is annoying, but since the 2.4 Ghz seems quick, I am not going to worry too much about it right now. Hope there is a solution though.

I remember my z1 having similar problems...it was fixed by changing the security mode I think...wep..wpk...or something...just fool around with it...no harm in trying

I have a NetGear accesspoint that the G3 refuses to connect to regardless of the G or A bands. So frustrating.

Stard having this issue this weekend, thought it was the router location and I repositioned and still no help.
Hoping and update fixes it

I too have experienced issues with WiFi during my last 4 days of ownership. Perfect WiFi signal (I was sitting within feet of the router) yet no Internet connection. Cycling WiFi off and on fixed the issue. This occurred on two different networks using different hardware. Both were using WPA2-PSK authentication. No other devices on the network experienced any issues.

Go to WiFi ans hit the top right button and go to advanced setting than put yes on keep WiFi on when screen is off

That option was already enabled on my device. I never enabled it, so it must have been on by default.
Also, when this happened, my G3 still had a valid IP address

Have same problem since day 1. Cycling between 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz and vice versa seems to fix for the short term.
But seems to happen on a daily basis.....!

I have the issue has well. In fact, mine will sit at obtaining IP address.

i have same isuee
i have same isuue here with my lg g3 16 gigs model
wifi sigal drops all the time i did factory seetings and did not help
plzzzz help as am start to hate my device

add static ip address to resolve the issue
I added static ip address and it was able to connect to the wifi but it will
be the same problem when you connect to another wifi at a different location.
Do not change network prefix length/DNS1/DNS2. Keep these the same.
You could use this as temporary fix at home atleast and connect to wifi.

Disconnect completely from your WiFi, switch off WiFi on the phone, turn back on and go to advanced settings, uncheck the Google auto scan thing, then connect back to your WiFi.

Still have same problem

It worked on mine. Much more stable.

I am also experiencing this and it is really annoying. Toggling WiFi off and back on always fixes it, but that is not an actual solution because the problem happens so frequently.
I have tried:
Disabling Sprint connection optimizer
'Keep WiFi on when screen is off' is enabled
'Allow WiFi scanning' is disabled
'WiFi signal weak' is disabled (set so that it does not disconnect from WiFi when signal is weak)
'Battery saving for WiFi' is disabled
Using a static IP address
Factory Reset
Forget network
I still have had no luck. Does anybody else have any suggestions? I have about a dozen devices on my network and they play nicely; this is the only device giving me trouble. I am starting to wonder if it is time to RMA?
EDIT: It doesn't seem to happen when I connect to the WiFi at my work. Hopefully flashing a newer build of DD-WRT will remedy this. I love this phone except for that one issue; unfortunately though, this issue would be pretty hard to live with....

Same thing here. Before G3 I had G2 and Flex, both had the same wifi problem. Funny thing is that some $150 Chinese almost noname generic phones never have this problem on my home wifi. It's exclusive to LG.

Same Problem here. I am having a Nexus 5 sitting next to it. No problem with the N5 but constantly interruptions with the G3. This phone is starting to annoy the hell out of me.

I have the VZW G3 rooted, have no issues with WiFi on either antenna using an Asus dual band router.
I did have issues with a dlink, but it had issues with all phones not just the g3 so I replaced it.

Issue with WiFi battery drain

After updating to 5.1.1 it was working flawlessly for couple of Weekes and all of sudden my battery was draining and found out that my wifi is running on the background even though I have switch off the wifi, location, gps, and wifi advance setting for searching location with WiFi being off.
Ever since that whenever I switch on the wifi and switch off it is still running in the background until I reboot my device.
Is there anyway to fix this?
