My office is in the basement and and I only get about 2-3 bars of cell signal. I'm always connected to wifi but when people text me I do not get it until I turn off wifi. It only does that in this location. Anyone have a solution for this?
Is it a home office? It could be a firewall issue

No it not a home office. Its open wifi at a University. I dont think its a firewall issue because when I got up to the third floor in still connected to the same wifi and I am able to send and receive text.
It still could be, if you went 4 floors up a building, you undoubtedly changed access points, different floors usually means different switches as well, and the switch could also be connected to a different router, or VLAN in the switches. Different VLAN's can and often do have different access... based on access control lists or ACL'S. ..

You are correct but I know that all our APs are on the same switch and vlans. I should have said tyhis in my orginal post that it does work sometimes. Its usally when my cell bars drops below 3 bars that it doesnt work..
Okay, then it could be that it's intermittent on the cell connection, and the phone tries to run most of the connections through the wireless, and it's missing the connection on the cell side, and since it's intermittent, and it has a connection via wireless, it's not trying as hard to make the cell connection, and can't get the push notifications on the LAN side. When it gets enough of a cell connection, the sms push notifications make it on the cell connection, if you force the cell connection, it tries harder to make the connection work, it normally wouldn't to save battery use.

I went into wifi calling setting and choose use cellular first. Is that what you're referring to?
No, that's not going to do anything about the push notifications from the carrier for sms messages, that's for routing voice calls. You may want to contact your carrier, and explain the situation, and ask if the sms push notifications go only on the cell network, or if they go across the Internet, if they go across the Internet, talk to the universities IT help desk and ask if they block sms push notifications. As far as making your phone deal with the cell network differently, that would be a question more for a developer. ..

This is how I fixed my phone from not sending/receiving text while connected to my Wifi at home. Copy down all of the stock APN settings and then create a new one and change the APN Protocol and APN Roaming Protocol to IPv4/IPv6.
I try to spread this information as much as possible because of how frustrating it was not getting Text. Also you have to turn off Wifi Calling or switch it to "Cellular Preferred.
Hopefully this fixes your particular problem. It did for me, after switching to T-Mobile.
Good luck!

My epic 4g touch does not 3g while in a roaming mode. I've checked the coverage map and it I am within the 3g area on network. The reason that I am roaming in the area within my network is because I live in a 4 story building, even though I am on the top floor. Anyway, is there a reason why I don't have data in a roaming mode?I get a little triangle with a ! that says "you have lost data connectivity be.." can't finish reading the message because it is cut off.
Check your roam settings and allow roaming.... Mine roams just fine... (If thats a good thing?)

Looking to enable wifi calling for CM10. It is obviously there in the default Tmobile stock.
Not possible for CM10 and developers will probably never build it in since most phones/providers don't support wifi calling. Also, unlike phones like my old HTC G2 where wifi calling is a separate app, the SGS2 implements a new version of wifi calling that is built into the ROM.
Bottom line, if you need or want wifi calling, you need to be on a TW ROM, no if's or but's about it.
Sent from the pink Unicorn from the Darkside.
Thanks for the info!
Actually, these guys are really misleading you. It's not that it can't or won't be done, it just hasn't been done yet.
There was even a version of T-Mobile WiFi calling that worked great on the HTC HD2 which wasn't even an Android phone, so it's completely false to say "Not possible for CM10", it just hasn't been done yet. They may be correct that it will never be built in, but someone will eventually make a derivative ROM that will have it, or you will have a flashable zip for it.
You can also use voip.

Groove-IP works pretty good
I've seen a lot of people suggesting that we use our Google Voice (GV) number instead of WiFi calling.
If I use GV, and assuming I set it up properly....
When people call my cell number, does it ring when I only have wifi and no cell service?
When I make calls out on WiFi only, so people see my cell number or my GV number?
In what ways is it different than use T-Mobile WiFi calling?

You can forward you cell number to your google voice number, when you want wifi calling. I have mine set up to start at 6pm till 8am when I'm home. Works perfectly. I use grooveIP free, with a strong wifi signal, calls are very clear.

can someone explain to me why wifi calling is cool?
WiFi calling is "cool" or useful because it allows for using WiFi as cell phone signal. I've worked in buildings which had no cell phone signal, and without WiFi calling, it would take hours for a text message to find the signal to creep through, so it was very useful.
I've tried GrooveIP and GVoice and they were way too buggy to rely on.

And to add to this...some of us use our voice in certain areas mostly (like home) and Wi-Fi calling allows us to get a low minute plan since Wi-Fi calling doesn't use minutes.

Actually it can or does use your minutes... I know sounds foolish huh. I've seen some discussions on this in a few different places/sites and I still don't have a 100% clear answer. On the TMOUSA site regarding wifi calling, towards the bottom in grey txt it says:
"Capable device and Wi-Fi connection required. Wi-Fi Calling may decrement plan minutes. Except for UMA devices, device will not transition between Wi-Fi and the wireless network."
I think it's a case of if you're using it excessively they would start to deduct it kind of thing, but who knows. It's probably so they can change their minds in the future without any hassle, for instance, if people are using the heck out of it and they are losing as a result.
By default, it will use your minutes but now they have a free WiFi calling feature that you can add which makes calls made over WiFi free + unlimited, at least that's how it was last time I knew.
I would also really love to see the feature added to cm10 someday... It used to come with cm7 when I used it on my G2.

i want to know if there is any setting or app that can detect the presence of wifi and automatically switch from mobile data to wifi and vice versa.
scenario - my office has a wifi network available, i prefer to keep my mobile data switched ON at all times, so is it possible to have this in such a way that as soon as i enter office, the phone detects the wifi, switches off mobile data and starts using wifi till the time i leave office, and then it goes back to mobile data ? this way i save on my mobile data usage. also a notification would be preferred to ensure its workin as desired.
any ideas ?
PS - i read about an app called "tasker" however i am not sure how to use it and if it will solve my purpose or not.
Just leave your WiFi on all the time and when your in range of a wireless network that your phone has remembered it should auto connect and will use the WiFi over your mobile data. I think most smartphones do that by default.

i've even re-configured one of my access points with a different name and set the phone to auto-switch to strongest signal, but that don't work either

Some routers will give you a bit of **** when trying to connect to them, had a similar issue when trying to connect to my Belkin N at home and fixed by:
1.Open command prompt on your notebook that is connected to your wireless network and type "ipconfig/all"
2.Make a note of your Default Gateway ie 192.xxx,.x.x
3. On your HOX whilst connected to your wireless network go into settings press on wifi.
3.Long press on your wireless network name.
4.select modify network and select "show advanced options"
5.Make sure "none" is selected in proxy settings.
6.Make sure "static" is selected in ip settings.
7.The default gateway you noted should be entered into IP address on your phone however change the last number so if the last number is 2 change it to a 3 to keep in your routers address range.(Make sure it isnt the same as DNS 2 on your phone)
7.Enter the Default Gateway you noted in gateway on your phone as is.
8.Set network prefix length to 24.
9.In DNS 1 on your phone enter the Default Gateway address you noted as is.
10.In DNS 2 on your phone enter the Default gateway settings you noted however the last number should be changed to the following number so if the number is a 2 change to a 3.
I am having the exact same issue, was having it with ICS too! However i think its router dependant because here in my apartment in finland i get the issue, but back home on my router at home it doesn't happen at all! Its definately not a hardware problem it has something to do with software or configuration. Is there an official bug identified by HTC that we can track or something? Its so annoying having to disable wifi cause you know if you leave it enabled you won't get whatsapp notifications after a while
oh also for the record the same router that my OneX stops sending/receiving data from has no issues with my older desire HD, wifi works on it perfectly

I have the same exact problem of the OP's.
WiFi has perfect signal, Perfectly connected but data transfer just does not happen. I need to turn WiFi Off and then ON to get the connection working and then in a minute the problem comes back!
I am running stock JB 4.1.1 and my phone's mother board has been recently changed last week by HTC.
Adding to this JB 4.1.1 does not connect to Enterprise networks which is a well known issue in android 4.1.1 which makes me unable to connect my phone in office... so it's like completely un usable wifi.

i should say that this problem has become more evident after the Jelly bean update. I think back and recollect that this problem was there in ICS but in Jelly bean it is noticeable very easily.
I believe your right that you have a different issue to the infamous grip of life wifi issue.
If you did suffer the grip of life problem you would struggle getting a connection with your/any router, (unless you squeezed your phone) you don't struggle connecting to the router so don't do the "squeeze test" or it could damage the phone further.
I'm no expert with your issue, but if it happens on stock rom then it could be hardware related, but you already know this.

I'm using a rooted stock rom.
And don't suggest changing the "router" setting since were not talking about routers here, were talking Cisco APS on large corporations where they are broadcasting on the same SSID. And I'm looking for a mod to the phone so I can turn of the 2.4GHz band to verify I only can use the 5GHz band.
I think this was present somewhere prior to the Lollipop update.
So please help, Its just amazing to see that noone have had this request before since this is a network setting applied to most large corporations and in areas where the 2.4GHz bands are clogged with signals you need to force 5GHz... I have seen the request for other platforms but not the LG G3.
Go select advanced settings and select WiFi frequency.

What about you change your ROM? I'm using 5.1.1 and it has that option.

There is an app called WiFi roaming fix in google play search and find it give it a try
I would lpve to use another rom but from what i read there isnt any that can make the camera work to its full potential.
But ill try that app tomorrow and see how it works once it detexts multiple AP's and multiple bands on the same SSID.

There were no settings in that app that prevents my phone from using 2.4GHz network. It was just basically saying how many APs there were on the current network and a setting to chose the one with best signal. 2.4GHz usually have better signal since that frequency penetrates material better then 5GHz and I want 5GHz only to try.
I am using Cyanogen ROM, and they have that option to select AUTO, 2.4 or 5.
STOCK ROM doesn't....=(

Thats exactly what I want. I would love to run Cyanogen but everyone says the camera cant deliver as LG stock. But you would think its not that hard to add the feature since its present everywhere except most stock ROMs. Seems like more manufacturers then LG removed the option when updates came to stock ROMs.
