I have the Sprint Galaxy S3 and I recently switched to MOAR. It's great but since then I also am unable to find my Chromecast device from my android phone. My laptop can discover and stream to it just fine, as well as two other Android devices (one that is rooted and one that is not). It seems odd to me that this would be the problem, but I didn't make any other changes around the time it happened.
I've tried power-cycling my phone and the router, making sure everything is on the 2.4ghz network, and resetting the Chromecast via the button as well as in chrome. Help? Is there any solution short of changing roms (if that even is the problem)?
Well as an update.. I have since factory reset the phone and Chromecast worked again. Now I am running the Wicked Rom and I can't find the Chromecast again. If this is really a rom problem I wouldn't know why others haven't brought it up. Also, my friend who has a rooted s4 is running Hyperdrive and he was able to connect to the Chromecast so I am just really confused.
It's because your phone is 5mhz instead of the chromecasts only option the 2.4.

I have problem with my nexus, wifi is connected but I cannot access any internet. Sometimes interet works normal, then suddenly disappears, wifi is connected normal but there isnt internet
I tired wih other android phone, samsung galaxy ace, but same thing
But nokia n8 works normal, this dosnt happening
I do not know of which can be either the router or the phone
I tried to change settings on the phone and the router but nothing
If someone has an idea, I would be grateful to him
I had the same problem on my nexus, while the wifi worked fine on other devices. I flashed several different ROMS, to no avail, and resolved myself to believe that it was a hardware problem. Before flashing back to stock, I reset the Router, just for laughs. Problem solved. Make sure your wifi settings on android are correct, and try resetting your router. It's worth a shot. Which ROM are you on?
i tired several times with reseting router, even change settings, sometimes internet start to work but after 30-40 minuts stops again
i dosnt now what exactly ROM is on phone, becouse i just buy him
Without knowing the ROM, and at the risk of sounding like a tech support douche, maybe you should try a wipe/factory reset.

Hi,
I am new to dealing with the Android OS with my Galaxy Nexus, but I am thinking the same thing. My main concern is backing up and reinstalling all of my information, apps etc. I use Titanium backup pro for my backups but would like to know if my phone will be recognized when I try to reload all of my apps.
Thank you for your reply.

I have WiFi problems at my house. It shows that I am connected but no internet. I know is the router in my case.
I would test your WiFi somewhere else, such as Starbucks or Barnes and Noble.

Hi,
I have connection everywhere - Starbucks, home, Staples, Chapters/Indigo (Barnes and Nobles equivalent in Canada), even borrowing Wifi from unsecured home networks etc. but the disconnect is between the Wifi and getting my Internet to connect. Connection bars are all gray and at home very strong signal showing. This reminds me of connection problems I had with my laptops (running the MS OS of course), but in the Android OS I am a "newbie" and reading forums trying to figure what other people's connection problems are, and how they were solved.
There are no Wifi connection problems using my laptop (now) or my daughter's iPods, my wife's Blackberry Bold at home. My data works find, and I wish there was a roll back feature to the time just prior to the problem occurring last Thursday. My understanding is I have to completely restore my system, and this leads me to more questions about if I can reload all of my apps or if I will have to pay for them again. In the end, it may be faster.
I downloaded - per member recommendation - a Wifi analyzer and it shows that my home Wifi speed is excellent.
Thanks, I am always open to ideas to solve.
Do you know how to find the version of ROM on my Galaxy Nexus? I must look.

Just a week ago, I flashed Infamous Lite onto my SGS2. I have been very satisfied with it. I noticed today that the dev has disappeared (for good reasons). So, hopefully someone else can help me.
I just tried to setup a VPN on the phone and it will not connect. I keep getting a timeout message. Trying to connect via WiFi has the same result. The instructions I followed are here: https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/client-support/#android_ipsec_l2tp
This worked on a previous T-Mobile phone and also on my SG Tab 10.1. I did not try it on the SGS2 stock ROM. Has anyone else been able to make a VPN connection using the Infamous Lite ROM?
I know I could try any of the several other ROMs here, but I have my phone just the way I want it and I like this ROM. I'd rather not spend many hours trying other ROMs, reloading apps, reconfiguring things, etc.
As an aside, I could not connect to this VPN with a Motorola Triumph on Virgin Mobile, either. I decided it was something specific to that phone. I don't use that phone any more.
Thanks.
It seems that ICS has broken VPN functionality: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23124
I found a solution. OpenVPN works fine: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.blinkt.openvpn&rdid=de.blinkt.openvpn&rdot=1
I installed WiFi Tether for root users on my rooted Sprint SGS3. Based on what I read online I set the device profile to Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE).
I was able to connect to it from my laptop the first time and it worked. I tried to use it a few days later with my Transformer Prime tablet and it was unable to see the network broadcast from my phone. After many attempts at stopping and starting it and restarting WiFi on the tablet it eventually got connected.
Since then I have not been able to get any device to see the network created by WiFi Tether (3.2-beta2). I tried changing various settings (device profile, SSID, channel, enable routing fix option) and nothing got it to show up. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Phone:
Samsung Galaxy S3 for Sprint (rooted and stock rom)
Baseband L710VPLG8
Kernel 3.0.8-906128-user
Build IMM76D-L710PALG8
Hardware version: L710.14
Tablet:
Asus Transformer Prime with stock software up to date.
Laptop is a HP Windows 7 laptop with an Intel branded a/b/g wireless adapter built in.
I am able to make this version work but I selected the Samsung Galaxy S3 profile.
That is one of the device profiles I tried without success. I have read that others had similar problems but they were resolved by using the Nexus CDMA/LTE profile.
Is there another app or version of WiFi tether that works more reliably on this phone? Does this feature work reliably using a particular custom ROM?
I used the Nexus CDMA/LTE profile on an earlier version of this app (before they had a profile for the S3) and it worked, but not always. I have not had a problem with this version (3.2 beta2) with the S3 profile. I am using this on the Rooted stock LI3. I have heard that there are other apps but I have not tried them.
I used Triangle Away to reset the counter and the issue was minimized(less start and stops) to make it broadcast.
It shows like if the counter is modified the phone don't let you broadcast well.
I owe you the link to Triangle Away. But you can try. It works for me.

So I asked this question last week under the VZW LG G3 Q&A and never got any feedback so hopefully I can get some sort of response here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/help/bluetooth-media-phone-lg-g3-pioneer-fh-t2920008
I recently got my LG G3 a few days ago and I've been having trouble getting media to play through my aftermarket head unit (Pioneer FH-P8000BT).
I had used it via Bluetooth with my HTC Incredible, Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy S3 all with (for the most part) no issues streaming Pandora, Google Play Music, etc. The only time Bluetooth gave me trouble is on my S3 whenever i loaded an ASOP ROM, it would have a hard time connecting but it would be intermittent. Any TouchWiz roms, no issues (the Galaxy Nexus never had any problems no matter the ROM).
With the G3 I just got I had first performed a factory reset so it's 100% stock (rooted). I had also cleared the memory on my Pioneer unit.
When first connecting, it goes through without any problems and I'm able to stream media. The moment I shut my car off then turn it back on, it's unable to connect media audio (phone still works). And it had the same issue regardless of if the app is closed out or open and even restarted the phone.
I got the unit back in 2008 so I realize it's using an older version of Bluetooth and it looks like Pioneer dropped support as there are 0 firmware updates since it's been released. I saw another post (different forum) about someone having similar issues connecting their G2 to the same HU however they responded LG had released an update and they've been working since.
I'm almost tempted to upgrade the unit but would rather wait for Android Auto to come out. Hoping anyone in the forums knows a fix and can help out.
Thank you!

I've tried and retried all the steps I've taken already with no success. I'd like to be able to use streaming music in my car again so I'd appreciate if anyone could help out.
I just got an LG G3 last friday (Black Friday) on T-Mobile (got tired of Sprint). Anyway for the most part this phone has been great. A minor glitch with a game (possibly from porting it's data over from my S3). The main problem I have is with the WiFi.
First off WiFi calling sucks. If I don't have 3 or more bars on my WiFi connection the call gets fuzzy. During one call that was clear it just randomly dropped. So that isn't cool.
Secondly, if I connect to a WiFi network at home or work or where-ever and then go somewhere else and come back or go to another place with a network I want to connect to it won't connect at all. It will show all the networks and give me the option to connect. But instead of connecting it will try to connect for a long while and then just give up. I cannot get connected again until I reboot.
I have tried the suggestions found on this thread (and other places): http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/lg-g3-wifi-issues-t2829811
No luck with those suggestions. Which include the following:
Turn off and back on the wifi radio.
Disabling the "wifi signal is weak" option.
Disabling the battery saving for wifi.
Forgetting the network (my network list was automatically imported from my Google account).
Installing the "WiFi Manager" app and enabling the 5GHz channels (US) and changing 2.4GHz channels to "Complete".
Made sure that "Internet unavailable" option is disabled.
Made sure that "Keep Wi-Fi on when screen is off" is set to "Yes".
Disabling NFC.
Disabling BlueTooth.
Disabling Wi-Fi calling.
I don't have problems with a weak signal. So I am perplexed. My Samsung Galaxy S3 worked just fine on these networks. Restarting always seems to allow me to connect again. But I shouldn't have to restart every time I want to connect to WiFi.
All of my other wireless devices connect just fine in the household (a PS3, my fiance's Moto X, my old S3, MacBook Pro, Lenovo Windows 8 laptop, an HP running Ubuntu 14.10, and another Lenovo running Ubuntu 13.04).
Why is an older model phone doing so much better than the G3? Both phones are rooted (old and new). Does anyone have a fix? My phone is currently running LG's factory rom "D85110m". That is with Android 4.4.2 (my old S3 is on a cyanogen rom of the 4.4.x series as well).
Please help me fix this. Otherwise I might return it for an S5.
Thanks!
**** Update ****
Per my below post, it seems I have fixed my problem. I ended up doing two factory resets, unrooted, and did a final factory reset to fix the problem. Then I switched to the PurpleDrake method to root it the second time (and it worked really well without any issues).
Good luck everyone!
**** End of Update ****
Try to factory reset the phone. I don't know what version you are on but I assume its 10m

It is on 10m. Do I need to unroot before I do the factory reset? I have never had to do one before.
So it appears that doing a factory reset does not fix it. I guess I am taking it back and having them replace it. And I will demand it be a brand new one since I just got this phone a little over a week ago.
SOLVED!!!!
Ok, so I finally got it fixed. Albeit accidentally as I didn't expect it to be fixed at this point.
Here is what I ended up doing:
Two factory resets.
Unrooted the phone (via these instructions: http://www.androidrootz.com/2014/07/how-to-unroot-lg-g3-all-variants.html).
One last factory reset at T-Mobile store by me (because they forced me to).
The wifi did not start working correctly again until after that very last factory reset that I did. The unroot process also does a factory reset. But, and this may be key, it downgraded my phone to 10c from 10m in the process. I then did an OTA to 10m after the final reset.
I unrooted it because T-Mobile's diag software detected it was rooted and said that made the warranty invalid. And after I unrooted it I took the phone back to the store and demonstrated the problem to the employee that sold me the phone in the first place. He tested it for about 10 minutes and came to the same conclusion as myself. He then had to go to his manager to approve the replacement.
They got out the new phone to replace it with then the manage told me that he was required to have us to one more factory reset. So I went into the settings on the phone and did one last reset. And for some reason, since this point, the wifi problem has gone away.
I think it is possible that something I did to the phone caused the problem in the first place. But since I did so much to it in the first few days (rooted and installed a ton of apps) I am not entirely sure. My two current theories are it was either caused by this malware infected flashlight app I installed that kept popping up the Play Store to install a particular app. Or it was caused by the rooting method I used.
The original rooting method I used was "Stump Root". So the second time around I used the PurpleDrake method. This is a tiny bit more tedious, but very effective and it didn't seem to break anything. Further, when I installed TWRP I made sure that I grabbed the recommended image for it that is specifically for the US T-Mobile LG G3 device and installed that using Flashify.
After I got it safely rooted I tested the crud out of it and it seems to be working fine.
One last thought. It is possible that somehow Titanium backup caused the problem when I restored text and call logs. But I seriously doubt it.
Anyway, if anyone has any questions for me about this please shoot me a message. I am more than happy to help.
Thanks,
Patrick
