I have a networking problem(?) - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers

Since having nextdns as private dns in Note 10+ enoyxs for 2 week or so( or so I believe), my connectivity to both wifi and data has been worst. Everyone in the house has the connection except me. I have heard Nextdns blocking few domains but I checked whether that was issue and is not. Furthermore, recently I had gone through hidden call network through Activity launcher and had gone through several band selection(hasn't changed it though, just checked whether it would provide the best band). Has this changed anything? Please help. P.S. Australia based

I occasionally had problems with connectivity with the nextdns as private dns while travelling in Europe. When issue happend I found that setting private dns to off and then back to nextdns would help. For awhile though.

note 4 wifi issue

ok so i searched everywhere for this and couldn't find a solution. i have a note 4 and it will connect to my home wifi just fine. i can search the internet on it, but facebook doesn't load and neither do certain games and the app market loads very very slowly. when i had my S4, it would do everything just fine. i was at my friends house and connected to his wifi and everything loaded lightning fast. so i know it's a problem with my wifi, i just don't know what.
my modem is netgear and my router is belkin AC 1200
any ideas on what to check so i can fix it? i suck up a lot of data lol
Do a speed test on your wifi with another device to determine if it is your phone or your wifi. How does your phone perform on 4g? Does it do the same thing?
the wifi is fine. i can browse the internet, watch netflix, etc. When i'm on my data, everything loads like it normally would.

Try hard resetting you router and before customizing it(changing SSID, encryption, etc...), test it with your phone to see if its any better.
it didn't seem to help. it's dual band and i tried on both. it wouldn't even load the google play until i switched bands.
any other ideas of a possible fix?

Yes.
I just got my VZW Note 4 yesterday and noticed almost the exact same problem. There is a little bit of info out there talking about things like power saving mode and stuff, but I noticed that my speedtest.net throughput was excellent. My next thoughts were DNS resolution or an IPv6 problem. Turns out my wireless router had a default setting with IPv6 routing enabled, but my ISP does not serve IPv6. You may notice the same kind of initial lag on Ubuntu installs (especially with certain VPS providers) where every single command you issue seems to take ages to start, but then completes quickly. I know how to deal with Ubuntu to force a preference for IPv4, but a locked down Samsung phone is a different matter entirely. Thankfully, I was able to just turn it off in the router.
For my specific router (Belkin AC1200 DB), the user interface has an IPv6 settings page, but the options they present to end users isn't intuitive. I changed my 'connection type' on this page to "Local Pass-Through Only", and my problem immediately went away. Have a look and see if you find anything similar.
Thanks, and good luck!

DUDE!! this is exactly what i was looking for. i think this fixed my issue. surfed facebook briefly and it loaded everything instantly. i'll check more as the day goes on. thanks so much man
Fixed My Issue too!
Hey Guys
Newbie here! I just wanted to say that this fixed my problem as well. I don't usually post as you can tell by my info but this was worth coming out of the dark to reply to.
Now to clarify, I too have a Belkin router AC1200 so it may be specific to those. Anyway thanks for the help and enjoy the fish!
someone sticky this! i have the same wifi issue , i am at work right now but i will try it when i get home! , i hope this works!
I am having this same issue bUT Comcast here uses ipv6 as well,I have a Belkin n1 router what do I do?
---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 PM ----------
never mind i disable ipv6 in my comcast modem and it seen to do the trick, any idea why this is happening?
I've been having the exact same issue on my Note 4. for the past week or so. Our router/modem is a DPC3941T from Comcast, and I can't seem to find how to turn off IPv6. This setting was under Connections > Local IP Network. If anyone could help instruct me further, you would be a great help. I'm pushing my data cap for the month as it is because of this >.<
I'm having the same problem too. The funny thing is that I went to the Verizon store to see if they could trouble shoot it and the phone did not work on their wifi network either! I realize now how to access my IPv6 settings in my router and that does seem to fix the issue. Unfortunately I cant imagine very many businesses with wifi networks will allow me to reconfigure their router everytime I want to use wifi.....
I started having this issue when I upgraded to lollipop. My Netgear C6300 AC1750 doesn't seem to have an option to disable ipv6 though. Any suggestions?

Wifi Calling

im having an issue with Wifi calling after a while i get an error saying ER081 unable to connect.

Nope. I rely heavy on WiFi calling as the tmo signal is not strong enough at my house.
I believe the error is when the phone doesn't think the WiFi signal is strong enough which can happen even with 5 bars. Get the free VoIP router from T-Mobile and you won't have the problem anymore at home ;o)
This is generally related to your WiFi network, not the phone. It's usually from the AP changing channels, device switching bands, encryption rekey, or some other normally imperceptible change on the network side. The quickest solution is to turn WiFi off and then back on on your phone.
ER081 on G6 at work
I can't connect to the wi-fi calling here at work at all. I have TERRIBLE service with T-mobile here and can't even receive any messages or calls on my phone with the wi-fi calling not working. My G4 worked great....this G6, not at all. SO frustrating.

It's not Samsung, it's whatever software T-Mobile is using. I have no cell reception whatsoever where I live and no landline either and have been using wifi just fine for my calls. And yesterday out of nowhere, I started getting instant disconnects on calls the moment they were dialed while the internet worked fine.
And today after a patch, I am getting the er081 error. Did the same thing at a local wifi network as well so the next time I am in town, I'll check the T-Mobile store and then either have them replace my phone or get a refund even though I would rather not have to since I have the 128gb version and have been pretty much using it for everything I used to do on my laptop..

I know this thread is old, but this fixed my WiFi calling issue. The problem is I need more than one phone to be able to use WiFi calling and my router only allows port forwarding to individual internal IP addresses. Therefore, once I assign the port numbers you have given to one phone's IP, I can't assign them to another phone's IP because it will not allow me to create a conflicting service. Any idea how to tackle this?

Ipv6 wifi issues

I recently moved and got new internet service and ever since I've been having issues with the Wi-Fi on my phone. I have 300 mpbs internet service and so I expect my phone to scream through updates in seconds... But ever since the move apps like play store and google drive are slow as hell. So after trying everything I could find online I figure I'll ask for help.
I've narrowed the problem to IPv6 issues. At my old place I had Ipv6 working so I never had any issues. But now when I go to test my Ipv6 It's not working. I'm renting a modem/router from my isp. I know buying my equipment would probably be the easiest fix but that's not an option right now.
There is an option in the router configuration to disable dhcpv6 but that's not solving the issue. The test says I have an Ipv6 address but the dns does not resolve. I found an app on playstore called Ipv6 tool that disables it and my phones works after doing that but I'd love to figure out how to just get my Ipv6 to work. I'm going to exchange the router today to see if it's just the equipment. If anyone knows how to remedy my issue I'm all ears. If anyone is having issues like mine Ipv6 tool is a great temporary fix.
EDIT- SOLVED---- It was a network issue. In my router configuration I had to disable dhcpv6 and then after that renew WAN lease.
I noticed WiFi issues the other day and then noticed my sky box had updated and had lots of ipv6 settings. So I assumed it was to do with that.
I think it can be disabled but haven't looked into yet. But my device sometimes flies through some tasks but then grinds to a halt on others.
Glad I'm not the only one
The Ipv6 tool pro works pretty good after you do some configuring. But I'm leaning towards its a network configuration issue not necessarily an issue with our phones..
You can just disable Ipv6 by entering “echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/wlan0/disable_ipv6" according to these guys. But I saw the app before I learned of the command.
I'm back to updating 30+ apps in less than 10 minutes. I was getting mad because it was taking about two hours to do this. And being a flashaholic that seriously cuts into my flashing..lol

WiFi not working on Pixel 2 XL

Any of you guys having the same issue? Mine started acting up earlier today, LTE works completely fine but can't seem to get WiFi to work at home. WiFi connects just fine, does not show there's no internet or anything. Works for the first 15 seconds I toggle on and off but then nothing afterwards. I have tinkered around with my router settings, including switching to IPv4 as well as activating the option to randomize MAC address on my phone under developer options but to no avail.
Please advise, thanks in advance!
If you are doing that much tinkering then I bet you have done way more tinkering than you have explained.
More than its worth actually unwinding.
If your phone works on all other wifi but yours it is probably your router
If your router works for all devices but your phone your router is fine.
Factory reset your phone.
Dont install try to use it fresh from install if it works then your fine.
Just watch what you tinker with.
If it works it is something you did after the fact.
I've had exactly the same thing start happening to me today. No problems with data over wifi before today, and I haven't made any changes on the router.
All other devices seem to be unaffected when connected to that router, and the phone has the issue whether it's connected to that router or a separate access point (connected back to the same router, so it doesn't completely rule out a router problem.
Edit: It seems that when the problem starts it's only internet traffic that's not getting through - I can still access servers on the local network.

That sounds like a DNS problem, are you using anything that changes dns servers?

It does seem to suggest a DNS problem. I just have Pie's "Private DNS" setting set to Automatic, but I would assume that applies to LTE networks as well as wifi, whereas LTE data is unaffected for me.
As a test, I've set Private DNS to Off now, and I'll see if that solves it.

"Android then sends all DNS queries over a secure channel to this server or marks the network as "No internet access" if it can't reach the server" sounds a bit like what you're experiencing

That's interesting. Setting Private DNS to Off has so far fixed the problem for me. I'm guessing that my mobile network's DNS servers don't support DNS over TLS, which is why LTE wasn't affected with it set to Automatic, and my wifi's DNS provider does support it but is currently broken.

I believe that's the case, I turned off Private DNS and it seems to be working fine now.
Thanks a lot guys! Very interesting.
I'm here with this issue now, I'll turn off private DNS and give it a try, this is driving me mad. thanks everyone!
Edit: been using the device for 30 minutes now with no problems, thanks for the solution!
I'm using a local DNS server (Pi-hole) to block ads and I had to turn off Private DNS, otherwise my phone was also reporting that it had no Internet access.
Private DNS seems to cause issues to many people
Never mind i'm foolish.
Holy crap, thank you guys. This just started happening to me and my wife a few days ago and thought my router was going bad since it was multiple devices. Then I noticed today that my laptop and a few other wireless devices were having absolutely no problems.
On mine it's being caused by the Snapchat update from a few days ago. Avoid Snapchat and WiFi is flawless again, as soon as I open it the WiFi stops working and I have to turn WiFi on and off before it springs to life again. Exactly the same on my eldest's 2xl and youngest's P10 lite.

Question 12.1 Issue: Google Translate and Other Apps not Working over Wi-Fi

When I open Google Translate and conversation it will often give me Speech input isn't available for selected Language. But I I turn off Wi-Fi then it is available.
This issue can be replicated on 3 different Pixel 6 Pro Phones (mine, my wife's and @card13). We have already attempted uninstalling the app and clearing all saved data for the app.
When opening Pinterest, Instagram and Facebook, the pages do not refresh unless I disable Wi-Fi, then after a refresh I can turn the Wi-Fi back on.
Is anyone else experiencing these issues or have a fix for these issues? We noticed these issues shortly after we got the phones, applied the Dec Build and set them up for the first time.
My wife and I haven't had these issues. Are you stock, unrooted, and running the March firmware?
@roirraW "edor" ehT Mine is rooted, my dad's and stepmom's is not. We are all three on the the Stock March 12.1 update. When I setup their phones back in Dec, I had done a temp root to allow SwiftBackup to run (my stepmom uses WeChat and they don't have a good backup/restore function).
I have had this as well.
I've not faced this problem, but a couple of questions. Any vpn involved? private dns? I assume multiple wifi are involved but i'll ask anyway. Antivirus or firewalls? Pihole?
Common carrier (i.e all xfinity wifi)
@Nergal di Cuthah I can confirm no VPN is running (at time of incident) nor is Private DNS enabled. I have only experienced the issue on my dad's Wi-Fi (Asus AC router w/Google and Cloudflare DNS and CenturyLink Fiber), but he has mentioned that it has happened for him on the local Hospital's Wi-Fi. All three of us have ESET Mobile Security installed on the phones. All three of us have T-Mobile Carrier for cell, Wi-Fi Calling is off and in "Developer options" "Mobile data always active" is turned on.

I've had this issue on some public networks and on my personal network. Each time it happened turning off WiFi would correct the issue. On a whim I tried connecting to a VPN when it happened and that also corrected the issue. I haven't nailed down the problem on my network yet but I was also using Google and Cloudflare DNS. I changed those and the problem went away. It has happened randomly off and on since though. I'm almost positive it's DNS related but can't quite pinpoint exactly what's causing it. I can run a VPN on my phone or directly on my router and the problem goes away completely though.
I'm inclined to believe this issue is Android 12 based. The reason is nothing networking has changed on my dad's network since we got our P6P, and our OnePlus phones (6T and 8T) running LOS 18.1 (Android 11 based) have never had this issue. Unfortunately there isn't a LOS 19.1 out for our old phones to fully test that theory.
Another reason why I'm inclined to not fully blame DNS (although it might be a contributing factor) is I use the same DNS servers at my house where the issue is rarely experienced.
I found a solution, Microsoft translate works fine every time with Wi-Fi. It is amazing that a Google phone can not reliably connect Google Translate with a Wi-Fi connection.....
Just tried mine. April, rooted and kirisukira kernel 2.1.0, Google translate works great via wifi and mobile data. Either or.
