Installed and Uninstalled "WeFI" and now my WiFi won't auto connect.

Hello Everyone.
I'm new to the forum and this is my first post, although have been reading and applying a lot of knowledge you guys have! the forum is great!
Anyway, I have an unlocked HTC TyTN II, everything worked fine and I overall very satisfied with the device...
I made a foolish thing! I installed the "Wefi" utility and after playing with it for a little while, I didn't like the thing.. so, I decided to uninstall it.. however, now I find that my kaiser cannot longer connect automatically to my wireless networks after resume.. Now I only get the notification that it has found available wireless networks and, even though I chose not to show the message anymore, it does it every time, and when it does not, the phone doesn't connect to my WiFi.. so I need to do it manually... which is very annoying..
I already restored original registry keys under HLM\Comm\TNETW12511\Parms with no luck so far...
What can I do?... I'm still on the original WM 6.0, have not loaded any ROM changes yet..
Your help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

Fix for auto connect problem after removing WeFi
My name is Galia Finkelstein and I work at the support desk at WeFi. This doesn't happen anymore on the new version that's been released so for the older version we have a version fix for the problem with the automatic connection, just run this file and you should be good to go http://wefi.com/static/RestoreZCAutoConnect.exe
If I can assist with anything else please drop me a line at [email protected].

WeFi post-uninstall problems
Hi!
I am sufferring from the same problems as "obadillo" - see above.
I downloaded and installed the latest version of WeFi, but after a couple of days of use, I found that I didn't like it, and it also took up too much of my valuable "today" screen space.
After uninstalling, I found that firstly, all my previous wi-fi settings had been lost (WEP keys for my home network, my work network etc etc), and secondly, even after re-enterring these details, my device (HTC Touch UK Version - Orange UK) - (running WM6 Pro) refused to auto-connect when I switch the WiFi on.
After reading the reply from Galia (directly above my post), I downloaded and ran the executable, but found that it made no difference.
Any ideas anyone? I did email Wefi's support email address, but as yet have received no reply.
Thanks in advance!

I have also tried this fix with no success (running WM5). I have also sent an email to wefi support. No response. I would recommend you stay away from this software.

We-Fi Latest Version
I have found a (kind of) solution! I have installed the latest version of We-Fi (downloaded from their website), and then DEselected it in my Today programs. So even though its not in use, its wifi parameters still overrule the PPCs local params. This seems to allow me to switch on and off WiFi WITHOUT using the WeFi software, and it now autoconnects, even with the several wireless networks I have stored, whenever I switch WiFi on, it may take a few seconds to connect, but it now does every time.
Not the greatest "solution", but at least the problem is partially solved.
But as the good man above says, unless you're VERY sure you want to install WeFi, do not install, because you will lose ALL preexisiting WiFi connections and settings etc..
Have a good one!

Hello again, XDA devs!
I also had the problem and I'm struggling with Amir, some guy from the WeFi staff, to get the problem solved or at least recognized.
I left a complete description on my blog with links to people having problems. Here's the article (without links):
Before you consider installing WeFi on your Windows Mobile device, you might want to read this cautiously and save yourself some problems.
If you have not yet tried it, you're not missing much. Although promising, the app takes over your device. It controls your today screen, messes up your wi-fi parameters and some rarer stability issues were also reported.
First, the app needs .Net CF v.2.0, something that takes space and puts more useless crap on your device. Then the app doesn't just find networks and connect to them. Instead it overrides your wi-fi parameters and inserts its own code, thus the uninstallation problems. WeFi also takes a lot of your today screen's estate for basically nothing. How much screen space? Take a look.
Upon uninstalling it, many noticed their devices stopped automatically connecting to wireless networks, among other, rarer problems. The only known fix to the problem is to hard-reset your device and to stay the **** away from this app. We also saw a link to a .exe file somewhere but no one left feedback about it so we assume it's just as good as WeFi. You might also reinstall it, hide it and use it to take care of the wi-fi stuff or go in Settings>Connections>Wi-Fi everytime to select a network to connect to.
The developers were quick to comment about the problem and said they are working on it (see the first comment to this post). However their product page doesn't mention the problem yet and people still get caught. I left them feedback about *some* of the concerned device, assuming it's not all of them, hoping for a change. Feel free to do the same and put some pressure on these guys too.
You might also read one of those threads and see for yourself.

I'm trying to get the warning to reach all the download spots, if you guys feel like helping. This is just unacceptable, let's do something about it!

Haim head of WeFi Windows Mobile development team here
Hello all,
First, let me assure you all that we are doing our best to solve any user problem as quickly as possible.
Out of the thousands of mobile users we have, there are really only a few users who complained about this problem.
We released a fix that you can find in: http://www.wefi.com/download/client/RestoreZCAutoConnect.exe
which after executing and doing soft reset should solve the problem.
As our support team explained to “primemaps” via e-mails (sent in 08/07) this fix only works if you uninstall WeFi first.
What you are all describing is that ZeroConfig stopped auto connecting.
By avoiding the manipulation of ZeroConfig default timeouts in our next version (which should be released in about 2 weeks from now), this should not happen anymore.
If this does not help you or you have encountered any other problem – please send me an email to [email protected] and I promise a fast response,
it would help if you mentioned your WeFi version, Device model and ActiveSync version.
I hope you would all choose to install our next version and enjoy the many benefits it can bring you.

Can't work with it and can't work without it
With my HTC TyTN II I had similar problems as others have described, or maybe even worse: I could no longer work to any wireless networks. It would disconnect in less than one second every time.
I did a hard reset and that didn't work!
I also tried the "fix" the WeFi representative suggested but that didn't help at all either.
What finally helped me was Namwollem's solution: Install WeFi again and removed it from the Today screen (but kept it installed).
I can't help wonder if WeFi changes something in the ROM since a hard reset didn't even fix it.
One of these days I will have to install the ROM all over and see if it makes a difference, but I wish I could avoid that!
I hope others won't be stupid like me and install this #$%[email protected]#&$ software!

Nothing helps for my Diamond to restore Wifi signal
I have Htc diamond with newest Rom downloaded from htc.com.
My problem is that since i installed aplication WEFI(older version) and uninstalled it, i cannot see ANY available wifi networks.. I tried alot of things. I tried soft reset, hard reset, i installed WEFI (newest version) , in moments wifi works and shows available networks and i can connect, but after it doesnt work again.. I would say it shows networks only ocasionally(even if im always surrounded by at least 10 hotspots). I installed newest Rom again, i installed old official ROM, i always put mamximum performance instead of battery, and still i have no results/cannot see ANY available networks). I have a feeling like i really have a hardware problem with wifi now..But again i think whatever it is its caused by this aplication WEFI. Does anylone have any ideas? i saw some Rafael radio ROM , maybe i can try to install that?
Thanks

AArrrggghh!
This god-awful program rears its ugly head again! I have solved the problem totally now by getting a new handset!! Now I have my Touch HD (Blackstone), one thing I WILL NOT do is install this garbage!! A quick search thru the forums here will reveal a small and very useful program which will with one click switch-on WiFi (and auto connect to the signal it finds if stored in your preferred networks) and with another click will switch WiFi off! Its called AKWifiToggle, and while no where near as fancy as WeFi, IT WORKS and DOESN'T MUCK UP YOUR PHONE!!!

USB tether w/o Root. PDAnet for Android Available now!

Hey everyone, PDAnet is now available for android!
http://junefabrics.com/android/index.php
PdaNet does NOT require root access or hacking your phone's firmware in order to work. It is just a regular Android application that works on all Android phones as-is. Currently this initial version supports USB tethering on the T-Mobile G1 phone. Tethering is secure and will also charge your phone at the same time. Your phone can either connect to 3G data or WiFi.

It works perfectly, and root access is not required.
Enjoy!

Good find! Works best with Opera browser (other browsers such as IE and Firefox, won't display pictures for some reason...) Has some connectivity issues when using longer than 5 minutes (yes, I have enable usb bugging enabled and stay alive while connected via usb) All and all, a good program for your laptop without draining your G1 or when the REAL internet goes out. Good find! Thanks! Also, incredibly simple to use!!!

EXE installer? WTF?! How does it work? Does the program require something on the computer-end too?
I'm Linux user, so I can't use it?

Yes, it seems to be only compatible with windows. Since you're in linux, you may try running it through WINE to see what happens.

Did you experience the pictures not loading problem also while using IE or firefox?

this doesn't really seem to work yet
I was able to install it without much trouble and the initial connection looked promising (well, some pages came up anyway).
It was basically impossible to connect to Speedtest.net however and Speakeasy only rated my connection at 287/283 kbps at best (the G1 was on WiFi). I tested it again with the G1 on 3G and got a 409/330 kbps (doesn't that seem weird that it would rate better on 3G?) but then it seemed to stop connecting somehow and I had to restart the program and reestablish the connection on the PC. After a few more minutes it happened again. I would call this basically not useful at the moment, but I hope they can work the bugs out and get some decent speed out of it.
For reference, using Tether WiFi to connect to the G1 over 3G Speakeasy rated the connection at 699/316 kbps. And in my experience it's stable/consistent.
As a disclaimer, this was on my work laptop which has some pretty hefty encryption software installed. While this may be the problem, I didn't have any trouble connecting initially (multiple times).
Additional:
Their "reviews" section is just "customer testimonials", as my honest yet critical assessment of the app's inability to perform as intended was NOT posted and they didn't even bother to drop me an email to try to sort out the problem. I hope they can improve on the app, but they're quickly losing my respect and interest.

I just got this. I dl it to my sd card, connect phone to pc w usb, ran exe through windows. Installed program automatically onto phone. Windows asks to install driver for g1 and it does the work from there.
It seems to work ok, the first few tries on my desktop it would disconnect after a few minutes, restarted phone and its been better but still only seems to stay connected for about 20 min, which should be ample time to do alittle websurfing without getting mad about disconnects.

well they might not have replied because they are aware of the problem, and they clearly state that this is beta software. if you look at the known issues the first one is about the connection dropping and having to reconnect.
once they work out the bugs this software will be pretty useful because of how easy it is to use.

if only i could plug the g1 into the 360 would save me $100...or if i could share the connection with my windows media desktop(i use it as a media server for my xbox and its not even close to a internet connection).
i tried to connect it but it does the network doesnt have sufficient MTU settings. xbox live requires a minimum MTU setting of 1364.
darn.
ill be watching for updates though, should be useful once fully operational.

i've been using mine for a while now...no problems once i turn off the wifi switch on my laptop...recently when i plug it in tho, it says PDAnet is expiring soon...is this supposed to be a paid app?

This app is gay... It was pretty good at first... but once the guy updated to r1.5... its been acting gay... it would come up with random blockings... it blocked www.google.com... wtf?... and wikipedia... yahoo answers... so I just got root and installed WiFi Tether for Root users... works way better and doesnt have blocks...

USB tether 4.2.6
This is supposed to be plug and play. A lot of people have said it's great. I have not been so fortunate. Anyway, could someone give me directions on how to use this. 1. plug in phone via USB. 2. settings/wireless settings/ internet tether (on). 3. Go to PC and click on G1Tether click connect. For me this does not work. Help.

This application is a fine hold-over for people who are too stupid to get root, but it is a VERY VERY poor imitation of tethering.
1) A real tethering solution will NOT require proprietary crap to be installed on the CLIENT.
2) Wired or Wireless tether for root users *IS* a *TRUE* plug-it-in-and-it-works solution. Run the program on the phone, plug in the wire, and you're done. No weird nonsense to be installed on the computer.

[Q] Market killing 3G connection

I have a weird problem with my AT&T galaxy tab. For the past couple of days, each time I launch the Market, my 3G connection is killed and I can no longer access the network, and of course I cannot access the market. As soon as I kill the market app, my 3G connection comes back.
I cleared the data and cache of the market app, did not solve the issue. When I uninstall the updates of the market app (reverting to the original ugly market app), everything works fine, but it then automatically updates itself and the problem comes back. I assume this is a problem with the market app itself and not my device (hopefully).
Has anybody else experienced this issue and found a fix?
I am running stock ROM with third party apps installed enables (done it with superoneclick: root, enable third party apps, unroot).
I have the amazon app store installed, so I can still buy new apps, but I would like to be able to get updates for the apps I have purchased from the market.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

What modem are you using? Does the problem happen when you are using wifi? I think the JMF modem that is available for overcome rom is weak and I get many dropped connections and slow data speeds.

I am using the stock ROM and stock modem, I have never flashed a ROM. It only happens with the Market App.

Same issue for me. I have a rooted stock rom.

I have the same issue. Also stock rom and rooted. When WIFI is on (and connected) the market works fine.

I have been beating my head against this since I bought one. I am rooted using....I think I used Super One Click......stock everything else with non-market apps enabled. I originally thought that Root had broken it; however, if I unrooted, reset to factory, I still had the issue.
After many hours at the ATT store and on the phone (and swapping the device once and SIM card twice) I had an epiphany. a Factory Reset does NOT wipe the Internal SD like I thought it did. It leaves /mnt/sdcard/ intact. So, just for kicks, I began looking at my folders here. I MAY have discovered something. Market started working after I restored this folder to it's factory content (deleted any folders having to do with Apps in general).
I can typically hold power, deactivate Data connection, wait a few seconds, re-enable, and I get 3g back (at least for browser and other apps, Market still fails).
I have PSX4Droid installed (PSX Emulator if you don't know). There is a folder here named /.psx4droid, so I renamed it to /psx4droid (If I remember correctly, doesn't the "." hide the folder......too long since Linux class). I then deactivated/reactivated my data, and the Market started working properly.
I am not sure if it has to do SPECIFICALLY with psx4droid or just the "Hidden" folder in general, but now my Market works. I have 2 more folders in this location (/.downloadTemp and /.FileExpert) that may/may not cause any problems. I will post my findings.
.....Okay, so I'm going to type what I write now....Market just failed. Now I'm renaming /.FileExpert....Let's see what happens......
Damn. Still fails. But I'm tellin' ya. There is something in this folder causing it.
Or maybe some app is causing it to break......I have Amazon App store installed, what about you guys?

I do have Amazon App installed.
Anybody with an AT&T Tab not having the issue?

Same issue here. I had the Amazon Appstore installed but uninstalled it probably a week afterwards. Rooted running stock, everytime I go into the market it crashes the 3g. I found a folder in sdcard/android/data that had a bunch of appstore files in it. I deleted that and still having the same issue. I have removed all 3rd party apps so I have no idea what is triggering this. Please help.
P.S. I can access the market on WiFi

This also happens to be sometimes, if you tap wifi on then off again your 3g should come back and work fine.
swyped from a galaxy far far away...

Unfortunately what you proposed did not work. The market is killing the network connection each and every time. The network connection only comes back when the market app is not active anymore.
Since everything works fine when the market upgrades are uninstalled, I really think it is a bug in the newer version of market. Hopefully, the next update will fix this.
Maybe when Gingerbread is out!

I'm thinking this has more to do with us having installed amazon appstore before it was supposed to be. Somebody is mad at us

Has anyone made any progress on this situation?
Sent from my SGH-I987 using XDA App

I really wish I would have made more progress. After all the trouble I had with the device with this issue, I was seriously monitoring the apps I installed and then testing the Market. I gave up after a while since I am on Wifi 90% of the time and hardly ever do I access the Market while driving. I still have a feeling that something in /mnt/sdcard is causing it. Like I had mentioned, I could wipe back to factory and the problem was still there. I seem to remember that it only started working proper after I had cleared this location of crap. I would think that a Market update would see a larger group of affected tabs than just a handful of us. This doesn't seem to be a widespread issue.
That being said......I have decided to move on to Gingerbread. Maybe that'll fix it

Hey guys, try this. Worked for me and my Data problems with Gingerbread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13751694&postcount=6
Basically create a new APN inside Settings -> Wireless and Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names. Only set the APN to "Broadband," save it (Menu button) and select the radio button for it. Instantly fixed my data issues.

Thank for the tip. Unfortunately, it did not work for me. I am running stock 2.2 and waiting for the official 2.3 update from AT&T.

Good Luck. I thought about waiting for the official.....but I also have a Captivate. We didn't get 2.2 until MONTHS after the rest of the world (I think it was like 5 or 6 months later). I didn't want to wait that long again.

Could you please report if the problem fixed with Gingerbread ?

At first I didn't have ANY cellular data until I created a new APN mentioned in the tagged thread (APN Broadband). Now I have no issues with Market. I wish I could trust AT&T to release Gingerbread in a timely fashion, but I know better. So instead, I flashed Overcome.
P.S. I really can't enough of the CRT lock animation......damn I'm such a geek....

Huge loss of internet connection after ICS update

Hi All,
I'm in the UK and have a US version P7310 wifi only (Samsung refurb bought off ebay)
Up until the ICS update 3 days ago it was in my opinion an awesome piece of kit
however, since the update, my wifi connection (or data transfer) is down at least 70% to what it was on HC 3.2
I am NOT losing the connection to the router, it is the data transfer that is down!
Many times I get the page is not available try later link might be down or if the page does load most of the data many images do not!
Repeated refreshes seem to have no affect! It was super fast before the update!
I have rebooted and still nothing, so I feel it is an issue in the tab rather than any other kit I have at the moment?
I have a wifi laptop and other android device and they perform as before on wifi so it's not the router!
I have also put the tab next to the router and it has made no difference!
I have searched the settings in the tab for anything obvious like load images or choke the bandwidth or whatever
and have turned many things on and off without success! I use the standard browser and the dolphin browser and both
act the same!
The tab has never been routed, it came with HC3.1 then I updated over the air to HC3.2 and then to ICS4.04
I know there is a folder for wifi in the settings and wondered if there was anything I could change to see if it improves anything?
Or has anyone else found their wifi is poor?
The 70% was accurate, not exaggeration, so much so that the tab is unusable for me like this!
I know it is early days for the ICS and the 8.9 world but would REALLY appreciate some advice for things to try please?
Kind regards
PS loved the noob video
Is it possible to go back to 3.2? I I restore factory settings it shall go to 3.1 and I assume 4.04? Would it go to 3.2 first?

Hmm...
Well, the support thread for the official ICS update has no mention of such issues.
Doing a factory reset will only reset the current ICS 4.0.4 to its default settings and will not revert the tablet to Honeycomb 3.1 or 3.2.
To downgrade, you should attempt through Kies, though I am not sure it offers the feature.
What I am certain of is that you can downgrade to 3.2 fairly easily by manually flashing a 3.2 firmware release.
You can download an official Honeycomb 3.2 United Kingdom release for the P7310 HERE
If you have no idea how to flash it through ODIN, please download this .zip archive that holds all the necessary tools. Then refer to THIS thread (where the archive came from) and read the short instructions on using ODIN in the How-to Section, last topic named "Using ODIN 1.85".
If you proceed to downgrade, consider to load the provided .pit file in ODIN 1.85's folder and checking "Repartition" in the program. Clicking Start with the .pit file loaded will wipe all data from your device, including everything that resides on the SD card.
After successfully downgrading to Honeycomb 3.2, you can attempt the ICS upgrade once again, but make sure to execute a factory reset from within Honeycomb's settings (or through recovery mode) on your device, before doing the update.
If the Wi-Fi issues continue within ICS, I am afraid I am short of knowledge to help track down the issue.
Good luck.

Solution?
Hi.
Maybe this will work for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846766

strange
I doubt this is related to the 5ghz issue (that has different symptoms = not being able to connect).
Did you go to ICS using Odin, Kies or OTA?
Have you tried flashing the Stock ICS through Odin?
Have you tried doing a full data wipe? (reset to Stock)?
If you need to keep your app data, then save it with something like Titanium Backup (or make a Nandroid backup so you can return to current state, after experimenting)
What is your router? anything "exotic" about your WLAN settings?

Not different symptoms. Equal symptoms. nakedninja42 was referring to the 5GHz band in his post,
[Guide] Enable Wifi 5GHz Stock ICS: I noticed that I could not connect to 5GHz after updating to stock ICS.

but did not say that he couldn't connect at all. And thus it makes sense to try it. Especially since Bananajet writes
that he doesn't lose connection - only speed (transfer).

Connection
Gentlemen,
thank you for your concise replies! To answer the points I think worth noting!
I downloaded OTA using the tabs own system (the 300mb file) it updated ok!
I did notice that I had to download 3 times as each previous one did fully download but didnt do anything!
On these downloads, I did not have the charger plugged in but had approximately 75+% of battery!
When I did do it the third time with charger plugged in, it updated as you would expect!
Strangely the tab has improved today and I would say 95% of clicks to a website or a refresh have performed as usual!
However (using dolphin browser) with one site open and a new tab for another, it would again not load all the images on the second page
but did NOT give me the page down link like the day before!
I would say it was a bad day for my wifi BUT the other bits of kit I use ALL performed as usual when the tab didnt
so I am still unsure of the problem? I did consider that the other bits of kit (nokia phone, Android Phone and a Laptop)
although NOT actively connecting to anything to download except being on whatsapp might be bullying the tab out
but I tried turning them off and it didnt change anything!
So I think I shall watch what happens and report back and see if anyone else mentions poor transfers?
By this I mean I REMAIN connected to the router and im NOT sure of the actual transfer rates BUT its like
the connection stops half way when the page loads (link down or photos half loaded) and no amount of refresh makes them reload
until such a time (usually 5 mins) that it does! This then does NOT start working normally (fast loading) but usually repeats itself
and doesnt load again! I do feel that any sites with mainly text and mininal graphics did load ok giving the impression
of a burst of power and then giving up hallf way if there was too much to load (my words, not one from a tech manual haha)
So just to say, the tab is working much better but not perfect! Shall report again when have more hours online!
Thank you again for your help
Kind regards
Bananajet

Update
Gentlemen (and any ladies)
after a few weeks using ICS 4 here are my findings! If anyone can help I would be very grateful as right now, the frustration doesnt compare!
I also realise my original title was slightly misleading, please note I NEVER lose connection to the router, it is the data that seems to
be choked! Almost like the tab only allows a bit through at a time and if there is a load to come through (images or streaming television), it chokes it and very little gets through? Interesting though I dont seem to have any issues wastching youtube much!
To recap, p7310 8.9 wifi version which was a refurb from the US direct from Samsung! Im in the UK! Originally came with HC3.1
I downloaded 3.2 straight away and have done nothing to this machine to alter what came out of the box!
I was very very happy with it and 3.2! Of course, as everyone else, was excited to get ICS 4.04
Downloaded ICS OTA with the update on the tab
I have noticed nothing for my type of usage much difference in ICS apart from possibly better battery but battery was ok anyway!
Back to my problem!
Web pages which contain any amount of thumbnails which might change (alter their positon on the page) when requested as a new page or refreshed very rarely load all of the images! It might load about 5-10% of them when the problem exists which is about 75% of the time! Also streaming live television is very poor to connect although when connected, it works perfectly!
On 3.2 even in my garden I could load web pages that were graphic intensive (nothing extreme, just were there might be mulitple thumbnails etc)
they would load as quick as you would want, reloads, new pages, browsing etc all worked perfectly and streaming television too!
I use the stock browser and one called dolphin
On ICS I would say about 75% of the time, any pages as mentioned above do not load all of the images, only probably about 10% of the images would load, the reast would have place marks showing where the other images should go! It would then stop! Any amount of recycle does not improve it until such time (can be a minute, can be 5 minutes)! The other 25% it works basically as it should, quite fast and normal!
One other issue is IF it is working correctly and I try and load a new tab or page in the background then the new page is highly unlikey to load correctly with any images it might want to display! Like "You cant have both mate" haha
On 3.2 any streaming video or television was perfect, fast and never failed! On ICS it has a 80% failure first time and requires usually 3-4 recyles to 'hook it'! Once it is in, it stays in and works well! If I try and change channel or view something else, it reverts to failure again!
I have changed no settings on router, changed nothing about anything! All other items in the house that might use wifi still perform as before!
The change in the quality happend immediately after ICS download.
This issue has left what was a fantastic bit of kit very frustrating to use and almost unusable!
I would really like to go back to 3.2 if I can but am unsure how easy this is although I do understand that was mentioned in an earlier post
I cannot try the 5ghz method as it is not rooted and to be honest, I am in the UK and that issue is regarding the US networks! My ccode says GB and not ALL btw.
To summarise, it seems that any new or data that requires a lot of refreshing rather than drawing from a cache doesnt want to load?
Any advice would be very helpful,
thank you all again.
Bananajet

Perhaps to do with the wifi channel used by router? Try to use channel 1 (or 6 or 11, avoid higher)
Try an app that gives WiFi diagnostics, like WiFi Analyzer.
Alternatively, reflash any other stock HC or ICS Rom through Odin... You might lose data (downloaded apps, settings, ...) along the way though (not sure, depends on exact approach, etc)

Have you try to test the speed connection wit your tab? I try whit speedtest.net in that site you can find the version for mobile, download it and try, just to see if it is a problem related whit your browser or with you wifi drivers
hope it could help
PS. you can find the app in play store too (same name)

loosing data connection randomly

Hello Everyone.
So over the last few weeks i have occasionally had a problem with power amp not recognizing that i have a licensed version, i figured it was odd but didn't think much of it. Now, I noticed when i log into the play store it says background data has been disabled. here is what i have checked thus far.
1.) Checked my data limit, I'm not where even close to it. even so, i don't have it enabled to where it limits mobile data.
2.) Was running battery Juice defender, but removed it just to see if it was a setting. and no change.
3.) Removed all suspect 3rd party programs. down to plain vanilla. still same thing.
anyone else have the same problem? i tried searching, but everything i find is from 4.4 or older. if i missed something please point me in the right direction.
Regards
Phrite
