I'm experiencing some weirdness and I can sort-of reproduce it. I'm still testing it a bit more to see if the issue is triggered by something else; here's the issue:
After extended time on a Wifi network, if I disconnected from the Wifi for any reasons (signal loss, turning off Wifi, etc.) I lose mobile data. There's still a connection, the phone recognizes 3G/HSDPA access, I can read signal strength, I can make phone calls - but I can't route any data over the mobile connection. Rebooting the phone into recovery, then rebooting back into the OS seems to work, but it's a bit annoying to have to do.
Any suggestions on debugging this issue, getting logs, etc?
Small Help
Go to System Settings> More> APNs> Press Menu and Click Restore to default
and that should fix it for the mean time instead of having to reboot into recovery.
I have same problem. But if you disconect data before connecting to the WiFi, and dissconect wifi before connecting to the data it will work. It's a bit confusing but you will get used to do it

My phone magically started working properly for a few weeks! And now the problem is back, and alas, neither solution works
I also routinely move in and out of wifi areas and cell radio coverage, so constantly changing the connection is a bit of a nonstarter (though I did try, to no success).

Hey, in the last few weeks I've run into a very annoying bug on my phone. Wi-fi turns itself off after about 2 minutes. It doesn't actually "turn itself off" in the phone - and by that I mean that the wifi icon is still there, and I can see the signal strength, but the internet won't work.
In order to fix it, I have to turn the wifi off and then on again.
I've tried using the Wifi Fixer application, but it doesn't help. It can't seem to detect when I lose my internet connection.
I've also troubleshooted it, checking that it occurs on different routers/types of networks.
I'm sure it's a problem with my phone, but I dont really want to reformat my phone until Froyo comes (since I don't want to have to install all my apps twice).
Is there any solution to this? ;z
I'm on stock rom, JF3, with OCLF.
I have the same problem with my phone. My Wi-Fi at home works just fine, but when I go to my brother's house, I seem to occasionally lose internet connection even though it shows that it's still connected to the Wi-Fi. I have stock Bell ROM with OCLF by RyanZA. Oh, and to fix it I simply turn Wi-Fi off, and then on, and it starts working again.
Bump :x
Anyone have a solution?
Hello everyone, I know I am totally new to the forum but I assure you that before I wrote this, & before I even joined, I’ve been digging into all WiFi-related problems.
Before I post in this great forum I want to say that I owe all the developers here a BIG thanks, not only for development effort, but also for all help and guidance, it is you guys what make this forum and android community amazing! THANK YOU GUYS !!
The post might look long but I thought describing the issue in one brief post would be better in avoiding doing so in the form of many 2-line posts scattered through a 10-page thread.
Although my WiFi issue seems to me more like a hardware malfunction issue, it seems it’s one of its own where some indicators make me doubt it could be related to software too.
Here what the problem is about:
While I was messaging on WhatsApp, my phone suddenly disconnected from home WiFi & wasn’t able to reconnect anymore at all.
I now can only scan for wireless networks; here is how the problem takes place:
- As soon as I connect to a WiFi network, either it being secured or non-secured, the procedure gets stuck for 10-20 seconds at “Obtaining IP address from (Network ABC)”
- WiFi stays on but then shows “disconnected” or “Unsuccessful”, & (Network ABC) disappears from available networks list (unknown networks doesn’t)
- (Network ABC) reappears –> Device tries connecting to it –> Hangs in obtaining IP –> WiFi turns off
- I turn it on –> Device tries connecting to (Network ABC) –> Fails the same way –> WiFi turns off
- I turn it on –> Hangs completely in “Turning On…”, can’t disable or enable or anything, & got to reboot or battery would drain like crazy!
Things I tried (with no good):
- Resetting my WiFi router (other devices can connect to it)
- Connecting to other private & public routers that other devices normally connect to
- Fix WiFi using market applications: FXR WiFi fix and rescue, and Fix My WiFi
- Wiping cache & Wiping/Factory reset using the built in recovery on device
- Restoring a non-safe system recovery img that was created before the problem started
- Using RSDLite to flash the XT860 5.5.1-112 sbf available at sbf.droid-developers.org
- Safestrap: Wiped cache & dalvik cache, Formatted /system, then Wiped/Factory reset
- Connecting WiFi while on other ROMs (in safe system): CM9, MAVROM 4.5, DarkDroid 1.1, & the rooted deodexed 2.3.6 Motoblur.
Other info & symptoms that may help:
- Mobile hotspot not working in the manner of WiFi: As soon as my laptop or another device tries connecting to my XT860 mobile hotspot, the hotspot disappears from network list on my laptop
- The problem started during my first WiFi usage after the enabling of APN mobile network data
- When I switched on WiFi while Mobile Data was enabled, phone showed a successful connection to my home WiFi ! But stayed for a minute or two, then disconnected, then mobile data would hang & wouldn’t get disabled without a reboot
- WhatsApp chooses random tones when a message is received, even after the many flashes I did (this might sound geeky to mention lol, but it all actually started when I was using WhatsApp, which works using radio)
- GSM network and Bluetooth are working fine
So what do you guys think? What is the chance of it being about the drivers or something?
Or is it totally a hardware defect that grants me a replacement especially that it started while on stock?

Given it survived an rsdlite flash I would lean towards hardware. I know people have had issues with rsdlite not flashing properly, you could confirm by using moto-fastboot to flash the device manually. It's a command line utility, I'm not sure how comfortable you are using terminal commands

Thanks, I'll try the moto-fasboot way..
But what if it is really a hardware defect? I once read that rooting voids warranty, I mean with all what I've tried to solve this, would Motorola still provide a replacement?

Fastboot flashing removes the signs of rooting. Same as RSDLite. It's what they would do for a software issue, it pushes the factory software image.
Lots of people in this forum have gotten replacements after having rooted.

I have problem with WiFi on my new RAZR i.
It is working fine for one or two days. After that I'm getting strange behavior.
When I turn on the WiFi, phone connects to WiFi network but after I while WiFi connection is lost and after that it is unable to find any network.
Turning airplane mode on and off sometimes helps. Reboot of the phone (shutdown and power on) always helps.
What can it be? Hardware? Application? Bug in 4.1.2?
Hi.
Is this on just one wifi device (home?) or you see this behavior everytime (mean everywhere) you use wifi? There is sometimes some strange uncompatibity issue between devices. I have HUGE problems with Belkin and TP link, while Airlive (Ovislink) products work stable with my Razr i.
I see that every time (mean everywhere) when I use WiFi. I have removed WiFi manager and Skype and now it is working fine. I'll test it a little bit longer to be 100% sure.
After that I will install WiFi manager and Skype once more to pinpoint the problem.
Have you gone into your WiFi and gone into advanced and unchecked avoid poor connections? That was causing me a major problem because my phone almost had a choice in whether to connect.

Hi, I'm new here so forgive me if I do something wrong^^
First of all, I have a Moto G 2014, Dual Sim which is running on 5.1.1, to be more specific, this ROM. I was using this ROM for about 4 months already so that shouldn't be the issue. My problem is that after my phone connects to the internet, usually using H+. The connection to the internet is working perfectly fine, but after a while of not using the phone it loses the connection. It still tells me that it got a strong H+ connection, but nothing (browser, apps, anything) is able to connect to the internet. Enabling & disabling airplane mode usually fixes the problem. From time to time it also happens, usually when I lost some sort of wifi connection (regardless if I disabled wifi or I got out of range) it happens that it shows full connectivity but with an exclamation mark. This only goes away if I reboot or enable & disable airplane mode again.
Is this issue known/is there any solution to
I have been experiencing the exact same thing as of lately. I thought it was a byproduct of downgrading from (Stock) Marshmallow to (Stock) Lollipop (yes! it's happening even on stock ROM) where at times the WiFi losses connectivity when the phone had been sleeping for awhile...even though I have the "Keep WiFi on during sleep" option on under WiFi's advanced settings. I had no idea that it also happens with data connections ! ...as I don't use it (too expensive for me), now I'm uncertain what could be the cause. I can see how this would be an inconvenience if you use a lot of social media apps as I sometimes do not get my WhatsApp messages when this happens and sometimes I don't even receive my Hangouts messages until I open the app manually.
It's strange, at times when my phone sleeps for awhile and it losses connectivity and I wake it, it will reconnect just fine and other times it just goes into this state where it reconnects with full signal strength but with an exclamation mark next to the WiFi icon in the notification bar. When this happens, no matter what I try it stays in this state, I tried turning off WiFi and turning it back on, also forgetting the network and entering the info and reconnecting to it but none of that works. I didn't know that turning on and off airplane mode can help....I'll have to try that one, rebooting the phone was the only solution I found which is just inconvenient and somewhat annoying.
I too, am interested in a proper solution. I don't know why the phone ignores the "Keep WiFi on during sleep" option or why at times it connects but have not internet access! It should be noted that it's not a problem with the network, It's not due to an incorrect password or anything like that as I am the one that administers those things and when it happens other WiFi devices such as my Tablet PC, Laptop etc can connect and access the internet just fine and it only happens sometimes on the phone (Moto G 2014). This doesn't seem to happen in Marshmallow...but I hate Marshmallow and I can't remember having this issue on Lollipop post Marshmallow update (how I wish I had never tried out Marshmallow!!!), which is why I thought it was related to downgrading, .......did you downgrade ?
I have this strange issue that has been with me almost since the beginning. I haven't been able to trace when it happens, but it now seems almost 100% of the time.
I only have WiFi in the house (wifi6, if it matters). If I go out, I only have 4G (I left only 4G and disabled 5G). I have no data until I put the phone into airplane mode and back, or I disable and re-enable mobile data.
Same thing when I go back in the house: no data until I disable and re-enable WiFi.
I've disabled the option for 'always-on mobile data' or similar, it's quite a battery drain if there's no cell signal.
Seems like a very strange bug, I don't have this with any of my other phones.
So you have both WiFi and 4G enabled and they don't switch seamlessly?
Exactly. I always have to restart each one of them, usually by toggling airplane mode. Was wondering if anyone else ran into this issue.
Ok this really is strange. There are 2(!) different toggles to enable data switching between WiFi and 4G, but for me it works flawlessly without them! As soon as I get out of my home WiFi range, 4G kicks in, and when I get in range again, the phone connects to my WiFi...
Hi, i have this problem too but it's not always.
I have a wifi 6 router too.
I also have problems switching from wifi to 4g. Need to toggle airplane mode on/off. 5g deactivated. No wifi 6 here.
I always assumed my vpn is causing problems during the switch to 4g. But hearing others have the same problem i would assume its zenfone problem.
I never had any issues in this area with my ZF8. With the option to have cellular always on I could walk out of my WiFi zone during a video call and no drop or short pause would appear.
With this off the network need a few second to work, and some apps need to be refreshed/restarted to gain connection. Never needed to toggle connection for this to work.
Maybe a reset would be enough or check for updates.
Ah, exactly! It does not necesarily need a network restart, but some apps just lose connection for a while, which can be from a few seconds to >1h. Which is even more weird as the icons are showing full connectivity. I would go out of the house, do stuff, come back later and I would only get the notifications when I'm back inside the house.
Rarely I had the connection drop completely (no signal) when switching, but I haven't noticed this happening since the last update.
