Hey ya'll. I'm connected to my WiFi at home. Friendcaster won't load in when connected to WiFi but my wife's does in her spectrum..another issue is when I'm on the browser Facebook won't load in at all regardless of WiFi or mobile data..but it does on my wife's spectrum. I'm currently on stock unrooted but if there's a fix for this for rooted users I'll do it in a heartbeat..

I am on Broken Out 1.1 for the V8 update and the last month or so I have had nothing but issues with FB on wifi or 3g. 4g connection it is ok. Wifi in general is ok, but not as good as V7. I have done a complete wipe and reinstalled the BO 1.1 rom and still issues with FB on wifi or 3g (It's the only app that does it). My wife has an Incredible 2 and no issues either.
I've asked about this issue before and now I believe it's becoming a known issue with the Revo and a few other devices. Mostly a fb prob.

Idk. I know when connected to WiFi my internet doesn't wanna work but on mobile data it works perfect

I'm having the same exact prob with fb app. I just been using the browser instead. I'm on v8 broken out. I have also been having issues with my 4g and 3g cutting in and out randomly. It's pretty annoying. I've completely re installed everything on my revo twice including the OS and still have the same issues

FB is doing a major update for their ios app, maybe that means there is one for android too, but maybe having wifi on and 4g on when doing the rom flash will work, not an expert but that is how i did it and it works fine with me
thing is its not just my fb app, even if i try to use the browser if im connected to wifi it doesnt work, not just fb but a bunch of other web pages wont work. but when i connect to the mobile network it all works perfect
+1 on all this. No FB on wifi with the BO Revo, everything works just fine on the BO Spectrum.
No clue as to the cause or solution.

The FB wifi problem came with the ZV9 update, it's not related to BO.
I am on V8 and having this issue. WiFi in general isn't as good as it used to be. FB won't connect on wifi or 3g, keep getting connection lost. I just don't have the time in the next week to wipe everything and reflash BO, then install FB 1st and try to see if some other apps or blitz or supercharger are causing an issue.

I just rooted my phone last night with cm 6.0 and everything is running great. I tried installing the wifi tether apk and everyone I try makes my phone crash and reboot. I even tried barnacle with no luck either.
Any suggestions or does someone know of a working version for the Slide?
Thanks
I tried barnacle yesterday and it worked for me, I was using the legacy version, if u use the new one u have to disable wpa or something like that

Would anyone know why the NC won't browse web over wi-fi via Sprint 4G? [Edit to add: This appears to be an Evo-specific issue.] NC over 3G works fine with both Wireless Tether and the Sprint Hotspot feature on the Evo. You would think wi-fi is wi-fi and it wouldn't make any difference whether it was 3G or 4G, but it does--the 4G radio won't let the NC browse web.
It's not just my setup, because I'm aware of at least one other report of this issue--in another forum.
I have tried Nooky Froyo and stock 1.01 and 1.1 NC's I have also eliminated my local Sprint Wimax antenna and environmental RF interference as the cause by trying to browse in more than one location in my city. Also tried more than one NC. I'm running EVO's 3.70.651.1 from December.
Thanks for any pointers.
Works fine for me, but I'm using an Epic, not an Evo. Have you tried using another device to make sure that your 4G connection is actually being shared properly? Keep in mind that you have to enable 4G, then turn on Wifi Tether.

Just tried your order of events. Still fails. It works as soon as you turn the 4G radio off and go back to 3G. I'm aware of one other Evo with the same problem. Your success with another device leads me to believe you're right it's an issue with the way the Evo is handling the requests.
Does anyone know what the difference is between WiMax 4G and EVDO 3g in an IP sense? Where could it hiccup?

Do you mean like a laptop on the same software/hardware wi-fi connection? If so, yes laptops work fine. It's just the Nook Color that doesn't.
Try updating wifi tether to the latest version if you haven't.
3g and 4g uses different IP addresses and interfaces (while 2g and 3g use the same radio interface and IP, which is why you can go back and forth and your file transfers won't get interrupted), this is probably the real cause of your problem. You may have an old version of Wifi Tether that doesn't enable IP masquerade on the 4g interface.
Same problem here. My PC connects fine via WiFi tether on 4G to my EVO and at good speed. My NC stalls when connected to my EVO via wifi tether on 4G. Also speedtest app is slow on dl.
I have the latest version 2.0.6.

I'm running 2.06 which is the latest I believe. This issue also exists using the Evo's Hotspot feature with a paid Sprint account add-on. I'm able to establish now that this is Evo only.
I tested this after reading your post. I am using CM6 w/o WIMAX, so had to nandroid restore Warm. I started 4G, then wireless tether. I tethered the NC to my Evo on 4G for about 15 minutes and it worked fine. Web pages loaded fully. Perhaps this short test is not too helpful, but I get crappy 4G service in my house.
When I was using the VaelPak ROM about a month ago, whenever I used 4G the browser (Dolphin HD and stock) on my phone would only load part of the web pages. This sounds similar to the issue that you are experiencing on the NC. Vael didn't have access to 4G, so couldn't isolate the problem (other VaelPak users had apparently reported similar issues).

Thanks for testing and reporting. 15 minutes is plenty of time for 4G to freeze the browser, so that test indicated a successful session. What is Warm? Is it a ROM? Your second test with VaelPak ROM echos other tests where 4G/NC won't work. The Evo stock ROM doesn't work, for example.
Using Shinzul & Toast's Gingerbread 4g alpha 3 rom for the EVO, I can tether and browse on the Nook over 4g just fine.

Yes, Warm is a popular Sense-based ROM. See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793471
Just to be clear, I did not test tethering the NC with the VaelPak ROM. I was just noting that I had experiences similar to the one you are describing while using that ROM on my phone -- the browser on my Evo would stop halfway through webpages when using 4G with that ROM.
It seems somewhat logical that the issue is ROM (or kernel?)-related, but it seems odd that you have success tethering everything other than the NC on 4G.
My nc connects perfectly to my evo on 4g using evio 1.8 rom from calkulin. I'm also using wireless tether, but i have had no issues.

Thanks, I can see I am going to have to try a different ROM on the EVO. However, I wonder how the NC treats internet that's different to how a laptop does? Why does everything else browse web OK on all the ROMS but not the NC?

Do you by chance have the AdFree app installed (root only) or a hosts file on your Evo that blocks ads? After trying to use 4G on various ROMs recently, I realized that AdFree was causing my web pages to to load only part way. I looked around the web and found that at least a few people were having similar issues, and they isolated the problem to AdFree. After reverting the hosts file and uninstalling AdFree, my 4G web surfing was noticeably better.
I like not seeing ads, but would rather have a functional 4G. Just thought I would share in case this might be your issue.

No, good guess though.
when my phone used to be able to connect to wifi, i could download songs, fairly fast. but now it will only connect to an open wifi network, tried deleting and re adding networks, and soft resets of both router and phone. but now over 3g, music downloads are painfully slow, and almost never finish downloading. i get the cannot connect to marketplace right now error. 3g in my area is good i get around 2-3mbps download on my iphone and my atrix, so i know that isnt the issue. should i request a replacement device or is there a fix?

I'm not sure why but ever since upgrading to 246 my bionic can't keep a wifi connection stable. It either disconnects after a while or stays connected but stops transmitting data. When I leave my house it still has the wifi connection icon thinking its connected when it obviously isn't. Any ideas out anyone having similar problem?

I am having the same problems. The wifi is inconsistent and is happening across multiple applications so I am guessing that the error is in the OS level. I FXZ'd back to 905 and did the 246 OTA update. I have never rooted so everything is running completely stock.
I have seen a few other people describe these symptoms in other unrelated threads but I think it deserves its own to see if it can get fixed.
I'm having same issue as well. Very unresponsive wifi.

I'm having the same issue on Eclipse v1.2 which is based on 246...
Update: I upgraded the router at my home to a Wireless-N wifi. The issue with the wifi connection has now gone away. I have made no changes to my bionic so I can only guess the problem was something with the b/g connection.
I have this same issue from time to time. Very annoying.
Having issues with my WiFi. Been doing it for a week or so. Every few days and now since yesterday my WiFi will all together quit working. Says connected but I get no internet and can't access my gateway with it. I have Xfinity internet and all the other phones and laptops work fine on it. But my phone just straight won't work on the WiFi unless I hard reset my phone. Tried DNS settings and static IP address and all. Multiple reboots of both device and gateway. Can't seem to find anyone else having this issue. Any thoughts from anyone before I take it to Verizon?

wifi sucks on this phone. I don't get the disconnects but it is very slow to load anything and everything. Pictures, web pages, whatever. Doesn't happen to the other 15 devices on my network. LTE works fine
When it connects I have no problems with speed. Despite being up to date with software I have to reset every few days for it to work here lately. I've even hard reset my AP and checked the firmware on it and everything else works fine before and after. Its just this phone. I finally got it working again after a reset last night so if it does it again I'm just going to Verizon with it. I'm no IT specialist but I know enough to try different things and still no remedy other than hard reset.

Believe it or not, I have this problem too. I'll be completely connected with nothing going wrong with my network, but I'll have no access to the internet. I'll go to my tablet or my roommate's phone and there will be no problems.
I'm still looking up other forums and Verizon as well to see what possibly could be up with it. If I find anything useful I'll let you know. It's pretty frustrating when I don't have unlimited data anymore like I had on Sprint. If I did I really wouldn't care to be honest, but Verizon's service has by far surpassed Sprint in Houston.

I've noticed that when my device sits idle for long periods, overnight for example, while connected to my home WiFi there doesn't appear to be any throughput. It seems to be connected in every other respect. Toggling WiFi off/on sorts it for me though. I know that I've read that this is a reported bug that is to be fixed, but naturally, I've been reading so much at so many different sites, that I can't for the life of me recall exactly which site it was. I'm guessing that you issues are somewhat different than mine?
Yeah. I can toggle or reboot or reset my AP all day when it does this and it will never fix it. I tried for 2 days of different fixes I've seen online but the only thing that gets it back is a hard reset.

Might be a fluke but just got home and no WiFi like I expected. Did a hard reset on my AP with the reset button instead of through my laptop by logging into it. Forgot network on my phone. Rebooted it. Connected and it was fine. Pain in the ass if I have to do it every day but if it works it works.

I also recently started having this problem. Frequent disconnect / reconnect to Wifi with no data passing through. I had to shut off my mobile data because it was increasing my data usage at home.
I also noticed this problem too. It shows I have Wi-Fi connection but no internet or email access. When I disabled the WiFi, internet comes back. It's also xfinity Wi-Fi router. That's only place I have Wi-Fi issues.. No issues at home. Maybe it's compatibility issues with xfinity router?

I'm using an Netgear AC1750 router...No issues with Wifi at work.
I'm pretty convinced its the Xfinity access points. I don't have WiFi at work as I work in a shop, but the WiFi at my in-laws (Sudden Link) worked fine this weekend. I am now I'm having the same issue with my laptop all the sudden as well is why I am really thinking that it's their hardware and not mine. Never had this issue with AT&T when I had them. Had already switched to Comcast before I got the Turbo so I can't say with 100% certainty.
Sent from my XT1254 using XDA Free mobile app
Sounds like it could be....if you have another Wifi router you could try it and disable the AP on the Xfinity modem. On my network, only the Droid Turbo has trouble with WiFi. I've got 7 other devices on there that all work fine.
Never set up an external router on it. I as well have 3 other phones, 2 other laptops and 2 tablets that all work fine with it. Xfinity just hates the turbo. Lol My laptop I think was a fluke as it hadn't been turned on in a few days. I just think it didn't want to refresh the settings until I released/renewed, then it was fine. I'll find out tonight when I get home anyways.

I also don't think its interference either. My father in law is an ex cop and radio operator. He has all sorts of repeaters and radios and all I haven't a clue about set up. If there was going to be any interference involved I'm pretty sure it would be there. Heh.

Yeah. Reading through some of that I never have hanging issues. Mine would just flat out not work at some points. Other than hard reset on the phone I have only found 1 way to fix it.
1. Forget WiFi network and shut off phone.
2. Hard reset my AP with reset button on back of it.
3. When AP is finished rebooting turn on phone and reconnect to WiFi.
