Hello guys!
My Galaxy S is constantly losing I-Net connection in any of apps which need it. For example sometimes my Tapatalk or Facebook app show "Connection refused". On the next day they are working fine again and few hours or days later the problem appears again... what is causing this in your opinion? Is my Galaxy faulty?
The interesting thing in this case is that the browser is not affected by this problem and works all the time.
It is only in my apps- Tapatalk, Facebook, Translator sometime, Gtalk...

it sounds like just plain reception problem
how many bars do you get when you get those errors?
3G or 2G?
3G and I have in most cases full bars signal...

Someone who can tell me if this is problem of the phone or network provider' s problem?

how about WiFi does it work fine when you are on WiFi or do you also get disconections?
No, on WiFi it is working perfectly!

next time you are on 3G
dial *#0011#
and check what it says on the WCDMA also on the tower CELLID
if it keeps switching a lot, then that's your answer

Only RSCP and ECiO are switching a lot, what does it mean?

I noticed that my captivate will often show both the wifi icon and 3g icon in my screen at the same time. I am using wifi to post this but 3g still shows up. This never happened in my nexus one or milestone. This also happens on multiple wifi networks for me. Any ideas?

Some apps use your 3G connection to get a rough fix on your location (Beautiful widgets "Beautiful home" or weather bug) there's a lot more. You can usually turn that off and just put in your zipcode. I could be wrong, just a shot in the dark.
I get this too

This doesn't seem right to me. I don't get why it would have both, there is no reason for it. If I reboot my phone, it will just show one or the other but over time it creeps back to showing both. I think its a software problem.
I am also wondering about the wifi. How do you know it's using wifi instead of 3g? Does it automatically switch over to wifi whenever it connects to one?

Thats the thing, I have seen it say I am on wifi but it still shows the 3G indicator and will show 3G activity (the activity arrows on the 3G icon light up).

I saw that, but my Nexus and Milestone don't do that so I'm confused by that.

It might be because you have no apps trying to find your location all the time. That's why some people have 3g on sometimes with their wifi on and some don't.

Well I wish I knew what that was then, because I do have Beautiful Widgets but I also have always had geolocation disabled and have my zip code set in it.
My husband's captivate will show both wifi and 3G when he opens google maps and the only way to get ride of the 3G is to restart the phone.
I'm having the same issue and using "my settings" to disable 3G use while using wifi. Being that I'm on the very limited data plan, I'd rather not have 3G being used when it doesn't have to be. So, if there are some programs that are forcing access to 3G when I'm on wireless, I'd like to know if there's an app or somesuch that will track which programs are accessing this so I don't have to worry about changing settings all of the time?
Hello everyyone. Ive only been using this phone and android since yesterday afternoon. I played with the phone very extensively yesterday and never saw the 3g while i was on wifi and then last night i applied the gps "fix" do you think that could of caused it to show. did all who is having this problem apply the gps fix ?
I believe using a push syncing service like exchange will cause this. on my windows mobile phones exchange wouldn't work over wifi.
Hmm is the default mail app an exchange like server ? So I should pull my info from that one and soley use the gmail app?

My problem showed up after this as well, but I can't imagine that would be the cause of it...
I'm seeing both Wifi and 3G on as well. Oddly enough, only Wifi seems to be on after it sits for a night (both charging and just unplugged). As soon as I disabled Wifi, 3G came back on, but after reenabling Wifi, the 3G stayed on.
As far as I can tell with 3G Watchdog, it's not using 3G when they're both on, but I'm worried that battery life is impacted by having them both on. I'm assuming this isn't normal behavior then.
FYI, I also applied the GPS fix, but I think I was seeing them both on even before I did that.
I get this as well, even when not using maps. I noticed it before I did the gps fix.
I do use gmail app which uses push, but still WIFI should always take over once connected. I noticed though that on the 3G icon the upload/download arrows are grey, not white or red (the transmit/receive colors).
I was concerned at first but I installed the AT&T app and I don't have a lot of data usage. I think its a bug.
I had both icons as well for a couple of days while in a wifi area. Messed with the gps settings again today and I'm back to wifi only icon. Didn't even reboot.

Hi guys
I have problem with 3G connection through application, but wifi is fine. All that I can do through 3G connection is go on a internet browser and surf. But if I open some application which uses the internet so do not connect..
How I said through wifi is everithing fine, but through 3g is not.
I tried wipe, factory reset and clear cache from but nothink helped...
Goto -> Settings -> Wireless Networks -> Mobile Network -> APN
Is there anything there?
If there is find the settings for your carrier and double check them
re:
Yes, of course there is configuration for 3G work... I said in a internet browser I can surf, but I can't use internet through apps as gmail, market etc...
Can it bee that the network provider has somesort of problem with the network or the gmail and market servers they are using is down. Once i have gmail problem but that wasn't the phones fault The server Google used was down with somesort of problem. Must say that strange problems ppl has with they phone if connection via wifi works but not 3g? Then it must be fault in settings or fault i the network.

I do not think that, because I have this problem around 1-2 months
So you can not connect via 3g at all from application?

Yeah a little bit :-D
1.yes I am sure
2.you are more smarter
3.because thats same problem have many users
4.I am not crying bro
I have a similar problem.
If the phone is only on wi-fi connection, gmail, internet, market, daily briefing (accuweather) and maps are working fine. If I switch the wi-fi off and switch APN on, only the market works.
how's that?

Is anyone getting the wifi problems that the other versions of the Note 3 are getting? Preferably when it says the network was disconnected for being too slow or something like that? I know it happens on the T-Mobile, Verizon, and International versions.

Mine doesn't disconnect but it says wifi signal is unstable, then I looked in settings when this happens and it says wifi signal strength VERY STRONG, I'm sitting 10' from my router and I know damn well the the signal is strong as it says 72mbps. Lots of issues with wifi signals are popping up in the N3 sections, not good.
Yep, same as Quickvic30

Go to wifi advanced settings and uncheck Auto Network Switch. It appears the phone will "test" the speed of the wifi network to your 4g and picks which is faster.

Hey all,
I realized that the wireless issues were all where there are at least access points broadcasting the same network. The signal indicator flickers back and forth between solid and weak, and I think the wireless manager is jumping back and forth instead of sticking with the stronger one. I installed one"WiFi Manager" from Play store and the connection is more solid. I haven't rooted my device yet, so this may be the best answer until a patch shows up.
Let me know if it works,

Hello I was having this problem I had to remove my ad stop program and everything starting working normal again adblockplus to be exact but that fixed issues with mms messages and the wifi.
Yes- nothing but problems with wifi dropping and reporting as slow/unstable. Rooted on AT&T MI1. Various AP's, not specific to any one location. Basically renders wifi useless.

Yall- this issue has been bugging the hell out of me. Finally tried something I found buried in a few other forums that immediately fixed the spotty connect/disconnect and wifi data stalling errors.
Enter into the service configuration mode by dialing *#0011# and hit the menu key- touch "wifi" and turn off "wifi power saving". Reboot. After having tried everything else I was skeptical but I can confirm (in my case) it worked like a charm!
Hope it helps someone else.

Another possible fix for you guys.. go into wifi in settings..hit menu then click advanced. Inside advanced make sure to uncheck auto network switch. Reboot and voila.

I've been using that method for most of the day, and I've noticed some good results with WiFi. Unsure how it's going to affect battery life yet though lol
auto-network switch
I didn't have to reboot, but disabling the auto network switch did help. I kept getting the 'unstable messages', and I finally had to click the "don't show this again" button and hit 'cancel' so that the OS would stop trying to help my be re-enabling the auto network switch. So, the question is, is this just #LTE2fastprobs, or are there real wireless n/ac issues that make this phone less than desirable?

Hi! After update my phone a few days ago, I have problems with wifi. Sometimes I can't find my home wifi and when I find it, it is very slow for some reason.
I have DT. GRC 8.1.0.4 (lt)
Any suggestions?

It was up and down all the time, not steady number, sometimes stucks to zero for a couple of seconds
With other phone I have
30 download
5,5 upload
Something happen with the phone
I justice notice that on 5ghz wifi works perfects (50 Mps) with 2,4ghz I have problem
2 days later it fixed itself.
Don't know the reason, anyway all ok
To be honest I sometimes find the WiFi a bit unresponsive, also in cosmote network myself.
Lately I also see the 4g+ sign to be present along with the WiFi, a bit weird as well..

Since a few days I have the same problems.
Did you find any solution?
Thanks.
I also have an issue with the WIFI being slow on this phone. Any solutions?
Are you missing all other unconnected networks in your wifi list?
Try to toggle WiFi search option for location service.
This helped me to get my wifi work again.
