Wifi Problems - Verizon HTC One (M7)

Hey guys.
I have a completely stock phone and I'm having issues with the wifi. When I'm on wifi there are times when the internet does not work at all. This is with apps and also browsers. For example, Facebook and Instagram will try to refresh but nothing comes through. Then a few minutes later it works just fine. A few minutes after that, nothing.
4g internet always works just fine. When I use other devices, such as my laptop, internet works just fine.
I've tried messing with the router settings, using different channels, etc., but there is no improvement.
Am I losing my mind? Am I imagining things? Any suggestions?
Thanks.

[Q] I messed up with Titanium Backup and now it says 4g, but data doesn't work

So I had to get a replacement Note 2 from T-mobile because my first one had messed up sensors or something. When I got the new one I wanted to backup and restore all my apps from the original.I used Odin to flash CF auto root and do a app and system backup. Then I rooted to the new one the same way and did a restore. I apparently didn't read enough about Titanium backup and restored everything including the system stuff.*Now my data doesn't work most of the time. Specifically when my phone says 4g, no matter how many bars, nothing has network access. I can make and receive calls and text messages although calls have been very spotty with reception. However if I have 4g LTE signal then everything works great. Can anyone suggest a fix? I flashed the stock rom again and reset APN settings to default, nothing is different. Side note, I was able to reset flash, unroot and return the old phone to T-mobile. Any help is greatly appreciated
Have you tried a factory reset?

I did do a factory reset after flashing the stock ROM. Both through the settings menu and by booting into recovery. No change.

Am I really the only one that has had this problem with titanium backup? I read a lot before rooting, but apparently not quite enough. Please, if anyone has any ideas or has had this problem, a little help would be greatly appreciated. I would hate to have to send back another phone espevially one that is otherwise perfect. Everything is great when im on wifi or LTE, but 4g gets me nothing. Thanks

I don't think that this video is related to my problem. I can make and receive calls and texts with 4g or lte. However I have no mobile data connection whenever I am connected with 4g. All apps report no connection. When I have lte signal all apps work with no problem. Also my imei number is not gone, it is in there correctly.

Just an idea here. ...
Do you have an Add Block app of any kind? If you do, try to turn it off and see if that is the problem.
I had one that blocked my data, but only on Wi Fi. It took me several days until I found the problem.
Good luck.
Hit my "THANKS" button! Come on, you can do it!
i had similar problem
my settings were set to LTE only in factory menu.
so i would get internet only if LTE signal was available.

Have never had an adblock app of any kind. I know for sure that the problem was caused by me restoring all system apps from titanium backup.

Have you tried flashing the radio?
You would have to flash a custom recovery (recommend TWRP)
I also had that problem on my Nexus 5 for a few days, I upgraded my ROM but forgot to flash the Radio again, and after flashing radio in custom recovery all was fixed, was strange because SuperSU carried over and it was just a delta (65mb) update, must of screwed the radio I guess. All is working now though.
#cjp420 did u find solution, i have same problem
I did not, but I never tried flashing the radio like the previous commenter said. That actually was an idea I had, but didn't try because I asked and people were adamant that I shouldn't do that.
Believe it or not I am still using the same phone still with the same problem. It's not a big deal because I set it to only connect to lte or gsm so it never connects to the regular 4g. Everywhere in and around austin that I tend to go has good lte reception so I don't really miss it. The only part the kind of sucks is that ot switches to E whenever make or receive a call because there is no voice over lte apparently.

[Q] Internet problem

Hey folks,
I'm having some problems with my note 2 GT N7100, I can't connect to the internet, my mobile data is active though it's not working, it works only with whatsapp, then my wifi won't connect, it keeps saying "Obtaining IP adress" and nothing happens after, and yes I am rooted and I guess my problem is because of a root app.
More infos on the attachements, it would be great if someone could help me solve this problem.
Thanks guys.
Can you go to the internet using your mobile data? And did you put in your WiFi password correctly?

Well I made a hard reset and installed a new firmware, now it's working fine, it's just that Google Play stopped working.. I'm getting the 500 error while trying to download any app. I guess my phone is not feeling good these days.
Custom firmware? Maybe try reinstalling gapps again. It seems to solve most of my Google play issues.

No, the official Samsung's 4.1.2 firmware, well I have solved the problem, it has nothing to do with deleting Google Play's cache or deleting Dalvik cache or whatever, since I am rooted and I have Xposed installer, I used to use Hack connectivity module and it seems that it was blocking my wifi access so just by deleting it everything went good. Lucky me. Thanks bro for your help.

Ehrpd data problems

Hi guys. I've been having issues accessing websites when I'm on ehrpd 3g. Sometimes the Google search site will not fully load when on ehrpd. Same with espn and other sites.
I can't even get a Google search to work.
However, other apps will access data fine...
These sites load just fine on 1x, evdo, 4g, and wifi.... Just not ehrpd.
I've tried to flash to stock, hands free activate, prl update, tried different prls etc.... I even tried different browsers... None of it works.
I'm running on Aosp carbon Rom and I've tried different Aosp Rom still no go.
The second line on my account has an evo 4g lte and there is no issues there while on ehrpd.
Anyone have an idea of what's wrong?
It's pretty sad... I have to use Bing.com for searches instead of Google while on ehrpd.
Yahoo doesn't work properly either.
Anyone?
I have the same issue, some apps (Chrome, Google Now, Pandora login, Google Play to name a few) don't transmit data on 3g, but work on everything else. I have tried all kinds of thing (PRL update, reactivation, clean flashes, Network/APN selections), nothing... Seems isolated to CDMA? Would love to find a solution, it has been happening for a long time now.
For a workaround... in a pinch, I have found that Dolphin browser always seems to work, so I don't have to resort to Bing

Thanks. Good to know that I am not the only one.
Thanks for the tip on Dolphin browser. It does work for me on 3g ehrpd. Hopefully someone can help us out... I've tried to ask this question in the cm10.2 forums and no replies yet.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk
OK it's even more odd. If I sign into my Google account in Chrome or Dolphin browser Web pages like Google and Google searches do not work.
If I log out of Google and try a Google search, the search will work
can you grab a log of it working and one of it not working? Wondering if its a cache or timeout problem.

I sent you a PM with the logcats.
I want to add that I've tried to wipe system, data, davlik and cache, installed an AOSP rom (carbon rom) and I still have the 3G issues. It seems to be only there when I am logged into my Google account on my phone. If I remove my Google account, then I can access Google searches without an issue.
Let me know if you need anything else.
OK add the Amazon app to the list of apps that don't work for me on ehrpd. I can view the main app page but when I go to view my existing orders, it will just time out.

Without going through a ton of explaining why. It could be a handoff issue.
have you tried
set your phone to CDMA Only and make sure that WiFi is also turned off.
Try it then and see what happens..

In CM10.2, I tried CDMA only with WiFi off and I would only get 1x data. With 1x data I have no issues (except data speed of course).
I'm not seeing anything that jumps out as to what the issue is. Its still happening?

Yeah on cm10.2. But with your cm11 build, the issue is gone... However on cm11 I have issues connecting to 3g in evdo Rev a.... Everything else works.
I have this as well, its been driving me crazy.

WIFI Tether after ota

Has anyone had any issues with wifi tether after the 4.3 ota.
I am having one hell of a time getting it to work.
I tried everything i can think of and it refuses to work.
Get errors about not finding the binaries, gets phone in unknown state ( the only app that does it )... yes i am rooted and confirmed that i can mod system files.

I'm seeing the exact same thing. Also seeing messages like "Couldn't install file-data/data/com/googlecode.android.wifi.tether/bin..." and when trying to view the log file it also doesn't exist. Have tried several configurations and several tethering apps and can't get anything to work.

What exactly is happening when you start tethering ?
Are you getting "error" or you can start tethering but no data is transfered from your device ?
My post solves the "error" problem as described here
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=62516
Other posts here indicate that in some cases tethering won't work if you don't have a plan for it.
Anyhow there is a fix for this issue too. search the forum.

Depending on what I try I either get a screen that is forever asking me to "Please wait while starting..." or I get the error like wpsantennas where it tells me "Couldn't install file-data/data/com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether/bin/tether!"
It will tell me my phone is in an "unknown state" if I try to stop and restart the tethering process.

Same problem here. Tethering worked fine before update, after updating to 4.3 experiencing same problems listed above.
From what I've read, a few of the custom roms, including some sense roms, seem to have the stock mobile hotspot working. Anyone know what was changed in those to get it working?

100% stock rooted, debloated.
Im trying to get the native tether with security check bypassed.. i found the code but of course when i debloated i dont have the files, so i got to wait 3 hours to dl the rom with the file ..ugh useing th previous rom files i can get it to launch and run, and show up but going into settings crashes settings
I'm stock rooted except running ObOne kernel. Didn't think the kernel was the problem but didn't run tether on 4.3 before flashing the new kernel. When I ran into the tether problems I wasn't debloated but since then I've dumped some stuff.
Based on the error messages it seems as if the app can't write to the directory but have no clue why. Tried OpenGarden and it had the same errors.

I decided to check out the sprint forums for the one, and the exact same thing happened to them when they got 4.3 . It seems it was hit or miss with the tether apps. and it seemed that a reasonable fix was to use native tether with security bypassed. The person who modded the one tether app that we are having problems with seems to be MIA
Workaround
All,
I believe i found a viable workaround

T999L tether to Xbox

I have a t999l, rooted running the root66 method stock Rom. I have Wi-Fi tether router ado working great. However when I connect to Xbox live, it connects and works great, but on the Xbox it has the yellow dot in the middle of the network test and says it's connected but may not function fully. My first question is to get rid of that.
My second question, I'm trying to download maps on black ops 2, it gives me a error saying the server might be having temporary issues or it could be my internet connection.
I can play live great, no lagging, I can play Hulu, Netflix etc great. But those are my only issues.

Sounds like a Blocked Port.
Dumb question, but how do I fix that?

Your Tether App should have the settings. If it doesn't then find one that does. Some apps do allow specific port collection to be opened. Be careful what you wish for.
Is it the dmz option your referring to? This is not quite my language lol.

Figured out that when my Xbox loads the dashboard tiles or downloads game maps is when it takes from my hotspot plan. But regular online multi player doesn't take anything. I'm using the Wi-Fi tether router app.
