My Pixel is constantly saying "lost Internet connection", literally saying it. But it has not. I have looked and tried every setting I think may be causing this. Has anyone had this issue? Does anyone one know how to at least shut her up?

Just a random question. I am using the wireless tether app, with the access control enabled. I notice, that there is another connection always asking for permission. The mac address is 00:00:48:"somethin", and the name of the computer is "*". All it is is *. Any idea what this can be? it certainly isnt any of my computers.
Is it always there when your in the same spot or everywhere you go?

Most likely someone else trying to get on; they have to have permission before they get data.
I havent tried it in other spots, I am currently using it for my internet until my cable company arrives to install broadband. (yeah, sorry, im hogging the network, but I have no choice for now). The few other places I have tried it at, it doesnt come up. It only comes up every now and then. But yeah, I have only noticed it at my place. And it randomly shows up.
Yea, but don't they have to have the wpa passphrase to get connected in the first place?
Yea they need code to be connected. Don't trust anything you don't know. It's a risk. Imo

Hello guys,
First of all, sorry for my bad english.
So, I bought a Galaxy Nexus 3 months ago, and I'm really impressed with this phone, but one thing is really annoying me. When using tethering, connection fails all the time.
Let me explain better:
1-I Turn Tethering on
2-My computer detects it. I connect
3-Internet works.....for a few minutes than every website fails to load.Stays on "Sending request"
4-I have to turn wireless off and turn on again, than it works again for a few minutes and fails.....
Thanks for your help!

This app works great, you will need root.
the problem persists
Try using foxfi

have you tried multiple machines? Could the issue be your computer and not your phone?
I've been having this same problem, but I'm pretty sure it is my Mac Lion causing the problem, not the phone... If you're using a Mac, check it out. I haven't found a solution, yet. Let me know if you find something...

Im using Osx Lion too.......
But it happens both with Macbook and with windows 7
Same issue here for years on Macbook pro. Tethering works for a minute or two, then all pages fail to load and it reverts to "Sending request..." or 'This webpage is unavailable'. Highly frustrating.
I'm not sure it's Android at fault because I get the same behavior on some public WiFi hotspots, but never at home. Any ideas?
Anyone that has a sprint note 2 all of a sudden lose data connection for like a few minutes? If so have yall found a fix? Kinda annoying when the time you really need the phone the internet isnt working right away. Other than that the phone is still amazing!

hey mate.
same problem here in Italy with TIM operator.
They said me that is a problem of cell location as the problem occours only when I am in some location in my city and not, for example, in my work city (Milan)
Furthermore, I have not experienced this problem with other operators which I tried so in my case it's absolutely a provider problem! Have you tried another sim card?
(I'll descrive my problem as you can say we are talking about the same: when I'm connected (and only when I am!) I see the icon H/3G in the top right of the device. In few minutes this icon disapppears and for 1-2minutes I'm not able to use data connection, even if the data is still active of course!After this short period the icon appears again and so on and on!).

Happens to me randomly too!
Well, at least it's not just me. Don't know if that makes it better or worse. Awesome phone, but this has been annoying lately because it keeps going out at really inopportune moments. Guess it's just a tower thing.
Subject says it all. Even when connected to Wi-Fi, my LTE/3G/1X icon still shows. I've literally never had a phone that does this. Is this normal?

Mine does the same thing, but can't answer your question. The pessimist in me thinks it could be some shady trick Verizon does to seep more data out of us for overages.
Was going to post this same question, I remember on the galaxy s4 they had the caller id app causing the issue, doesn't seem to be the case this time. Also tasker can't control mobile data on lollipop anymore, so that's out of the question.

I've seen that bussiness model before. I have a HP printer at work that uses 4 cartriges that cost roughly $180 (each) HP has set it so even if you print strictly in b/w, it still applies slight C/M/Y to the mix till it depletes the other cartridges...

It's persistent. Your wifi is on and working, if you want to you can turn off data and it will only show wifi

IMO it is the "my <insert carrier name> app"
Same happens on my tmobile galaxy s6. I think is a 5.1 thing. Sucks balls.

I had the s6 edge before this for a couple days and this phone is similar from what I've noticed some apps require carrier data to provide authentication and some phones use both Wi-Fi and lte to download faster this phone does it at times it's just not really a feature to turn on and off yet like it is on the edge.

I've got the H815 and can not confirm this. I never had a phone that did this, save you activated that option within an Xposed module. I did this on my Note 10.1 2014 LTE because I wanted to check the connectivity strength of my carrier even when I had WLAN enabled. But out of the box? No.
On the G2 pre-lollipop, we could change the icon set and hide data icon when on wifi.
After lollipop, it seems to stick regardless. Annoying I know.
The only downfall of the LG is the intense amount of status bar icons. I really only used xposed to hide most of those and have centerclock. Need root first though. Not sure if xposed is supprted without a custom recovery yet. They disabled activation through the app until testing was complete.

Same to me, im on T Mobile galaxy S6, i just update mine to 5.1.1 and this anoyin bug start to show.
When im on Wifi the Data icon show up randomly:crying:
For what it's worth, I set up a tasker profile along with autoinput for when I connect to my saved wi-fi access points it would turn my mobile data off. Now it's not a smooth as tasker before lollipop, but it gets the job done.
That's a Verizon thing, same appears on my Moto X. Doesn't bother me, I'm always interested to see signal strength available even if I'm using data via WiFi.
This is how every Verizon phone has been for the past few years. This is intended and I honestly prefer it.
In the last week or so, my phone has started some weird behavior on my work wifi.
If I'm using an app, I have network connectivity. But if I'm not manually refreshing, nothing comes through. After being on wifi there for a couple hours, then either leave or turn off wifi, suddenly I get a flood of emails, Voxer, group me, eBay, etc. Basically all data related sync notifications do not come through.
It gets more strange. At home on wifi, this isn't an issue.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot the work network?
Thanks!

This is happening to me with gmail on my home Wi-Fi. Then when I hit mobile data my mail comes through. Tried multiple apps, factory reset etc and to no avail.
Seems like a dns block. Maybe your work has setup the network to block anything not work related. As it should be.
In another thread the app "telegram" is responsible for similar behaviour. Delete it.

I have full access to our network settings, and there is definitely no intentional traffic filtering.
