Just started using a VPN service on my phone (which gets me faster 3G speeds at work via the repeaters that are installed) and noticed when VPN is connected, I no longer get notifications on my Moto360.
Anyone else notice that?
After I rebooted I noticed I get the disconnected cloud immediately upon connecting to VPN. That's no good

Not sure if it is something on my end, but ever since the upgrade, which I did as a clean install, I have had issues with being "connected" but not going anywhere. I am connected to wifi, have an IP address, but nothing will load, then all of a sudden it starts working again. My laptop, my phone, etc have no problems during this time, so it doesn't appear that its my router or anything. I am using the 5ghz band on the Nexus and laptop and plan on testing to see if it does better on the 2.4ghz spectrum but it seems like it affects all my apps. I will be looking on Instagram and then pics stop loading, I open the browser, can't browse, type thing, so not app specific, but the entire time I show excellent signal strength, i'm maybe 10ft from the router, my work laptop is connected on VPN right next to me and doesn't drop out, again making me think it isn't my side, but more so something with the Nexus since 5.0 update.
Dude, Google.
I have this issue as well.
For general internet use and most apps it's not a problem as I only lose connection for ~10s before it reconnects but if I'm playing a game that requires a persistent internet connection it kicks me out at the most inopportune times...
I hope there's a fix soon, KitKat was flawless.
I did the OTA update to 5.0.2 a couple of weeks ago on my Nexus 7 2013 LTE.
One change in network behaviour is annoying but I'm wondering if there is a setting I am missing.
I have a WD Passport Wireless and I carry my music around on it. It acts as wireless hotspot and a DNLA media server - running Twonky - and until now I have used Bubble UPNP to stream music. Since 5.0.2 the WiFi will fail to get/ask for a DHCP IP and continue to use the 4G connection while showing a "!" on the WiFi.
If I remove the WiFi profile and re-add then it works - continues to show the "!" for bad internet connection but does get an IP and streams OK - while, as a bonus I still get Internet via the 4G link. As soon as I come off the private WiFi, e.g. when I get to home or work and turn the Passport off, next time the Nexus will again not get an IP for the WiFi connection.
The lack of IP is via the WiFi -> Advanced menu and it shows the MAC but under IP Address: "Unavailable"
I have tried this when underground with no 4G coverage and it seems to then work. So, it seems to be too clever in (not) moving off the 4G.
I have tried a static IP and it doesn't work.
I noticed a toggle for "Aggressive WiFi to mobile handover" in the developer options but neither setting makes much difference
My 4.4.2 Samsung Note 2 continues to work fine, so it's not the WD hotspot
All stock, un-rooted with just dev menus enabled.
Anyone got any suggestions / ideas?
* I am now trying a full factory reset, just in case - as I didn't when I got the OTA and it feels sluggish anyhow.
This has been plaguing me for a while and it's making me hate this phone. I've also seen this issue pop around the internet so it's not just me.
What happens is the wifi stays connected to the router but has no connectivity (i've tried pinging the gateway when it happens, the connection is dead although it is listed in the router as connected). And it happens totally random, sometimes it works entire day, sometimes it happens every hour or worse. This seems to have gotten worse with MM. I used to be able to fix it with turning wifi off/on but now even reboot wont help (it connects to the router but immediately says no internet on wifi), i have to reset wifi on the router for it to start working. I have 2 other androids (kitkat, lolipop), an iphone 5, tablet with a hybrid OS, 2 laptops and a desktop on the wifi working without issues so that kinda rules out the router as the sole culprit (it's a Technicolor crap from my ISP that i can't change, i can only buy an additional AP but i have no idea it will help). Ofc, when the connectivity is lost, the phone is still connected to the wifi, hence doesn't switch to network and i stop receiving notifications, which is driving me insane (also a work phone).
I recently installed an app ("wifi connection manager", the app itself is fairly useless, half the stuff doesn't really work that well, and all the options are really things you can do manually) that has a background service that i thought would keep the connection alive. It worked for about a week and then all of a sudden it stopped. I've tries everything else, short of reflashing the phone.
So after ****ing around for the 1000th time, trying to figure it out i realized that turning the WMM off (router QoS) stops the connectivity issues. Problem with this solution is that my download rate over the wifi drops by half immediately (from 50mbit to 25) and after a while all the wifi connections start to deteriorate to the point where it becomes painfully slow. What's more puzzling however is that when i do turn it off, the G4 connects via 802.11g (and for some reason this makes the connection not lose connectivity). Other devices connect via 802.11n whether WMM is off or on (except the desktop, which has an old wifi card, also on 11g).
Sorry for the wall of text. This and the anticipation of a bootloop is making me seriously regret my purchase.
So my two questions are:
1. Is there a way for me to force the G4 to connect via 802.11g even when WMM is On ? It obviously chooses how to connect on it's own.
2. Given the history of events, is there a network guy somewhere here that could identify wth is going on ?
Thanks a lot for those that made it this far
Hi I recently purchased a Huawei watch and it's amazing so far. Though it might not have its all of its functionality with my iPhone 6 it's still pretty good and was decently priced. My issue with it so far is that my wifi connection seems to be interfered whenever I have my watch connected through Bluetooth. I have noticed this since my internet service returns when I turn off the Bluetooth. I have tried factory resetting it on multiple occasion. I even updated my phone and the watch through the wifi router. The phone itself shows that there's a connection but no internet service is actually going through the phone or watch. I've tried looking around but most issues seems to be Bluetooth dropping versus internet service. I hope this can help others that have the same issue.
I have same problem (( I dont know what to do. Is not possible to update my watch even surfing on the internet. Wifi signal is full, but no internet service. In settings is not available Wi-Fi settings. If bluetooth is turned off my internet service works good. (iPhone 6 - iOS 9.3.3, Huawei Watch 1.4 (6.0.1)) What can I do please?
That is by design! Wi-Fi only works when it loses the Bluetooth connection. See this: https://support.google.com/androidwear/answer/6207505?hl=en
i have this issues in wear 2
I seem to have trouble since today with the remote connection through lte or wifi to my phone since today. When I'm away from my phone it should switch to lte connection (which is working, verified it with samsung browser on the watch) and then say remotely connected. But it stays on standalone since today. Used to work perfectly for months... restarted both watch and phone but still not working. Also I can't activate 'reactivation lock' or set automatically backup on the watch. Seems to be a problem with samsung cloud service?
Anybody else with lte model experiencing trouble with the remote connection?
Yep, mine only works at the same time I've disabled battery optimization and removed automatic management of the "Samsung Accessory Services" app
That's all
