Downloading question

hi, need some help here...
when i'm downloading movies from the net, my phone will go into standby and download will stop...maximum on my phone is 30mins (galaxy s)
how to keep the phone just on?

That is probably a good thing IMO doesn't your phone get hot when it's working that hard? Why not download on a computer and either stream or just copy to phone....i think this constant downloading un raring would significantly reduce the life of your phone

Make sure the Wi-Fi sleep policy is set to never.
Hopefully that will help.

3G will eat up your bandwidth

..or go open your SPAREPARTS app and set your WIFI policy there..

[Q] Wifi connection

Hello forum! I'm having an annoying issue with my I9070: when I connect to my domestic wireless LAN the cellphone regularly accesses the Web and web-based apps work fine. But if I leave the phone inactive for, say, 10 minutes, it won't be able to access internet sources. The strange thing is that it still reports being connected to the LAN: to regain the connection I have to turn off the Wifi and turn it on again.
This is annoying because those apps that work in background can't actually access Internet and thus won't function regularly!
I've looked for solutions on the Net: I found that Android phones have troubles with WPA-PSK-protected wireless networks, such as mine; I found suggestions regarding the code *#001#* to access a debug screen where to turn off Wifi sleep mode (but for heaven's sake, I couldn't be able to find this goddamn option!); somebody suggested to switch to static IPs on the phone, to no avail.
If it can help, I have an unrooted phone with Gingerbread 2.3.6.

Try to go to Settings - Wi-fi - Advanced - Wifi always on > there check always.
I hope it helped

Yep, the setting was already checked.
I can't seem to understand if the problem is in the router or in my smartphone. Hope it's not an hardware issue.

Do you have some battery boost application installed or something else what could affect turning wireless off? If you have, try to uninstall it.

Only battery related app is Battery Widget from Elvison, and it's just a widget showing me the charge left. Don't think it could be the problem, it doesn't feature any battery saving or battery boost function.

I'm experiencing exactly the same problem, but I only have this using my home Wifi.
Looking for a solution also!
EDIT: Do you have this everywhere but also just at one specific place or router?
What brand is your router?

Sorry for the delay of my answer.
I noticed that this happens at my girlfriend's house too, and also her wireless network is protected via WPA-PSK.
My brand of router is Sitecom, while my girlfriend's is DLink.

I'm using a sitecom at home too.. Guess the problem is more in the router than on the phone.
I've already been through the routers setting but unable to find anything..

Wifi disconnecting problems..

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.

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?

It means you have low bandwidth. Something on your network is hogging your internet resources. Stopping that porn download usually helps! lol just teasing.
I had this problem when my pc started uploading music to google play. I'm guessing my pc was hogging the network. I bumped my phone up the list of Qos services in my router so it cleared it up. I couldn't find a setting in my phone that would let me turn off the alert.

I play call of duty ghosts on my 360 online all the time and never had it pop up. I only noticed it when I was uploading 7000 songs to google play. And it only uploads 2 songs at a time!! It's not the routers fault we're getting the warning. It's our download/upload speed overall from our internet provider. The only way it could be a routers fault is if you have your device set low on Qos priority.

Isn't there a wifi issue with the Note 3? I've been getting that message daily for the last week even though no Internet usage is occurring and my speed is very high.
It's very annoying. For example, it can't stay connected to the router at work at all. It never could actually, ever since I purchased this device. It disconnects immediately after telling me it's unstable which it says the second it connects to the router, even though the connection and signal are excellent. It never happened with the Note 2 at either location, home or work.
I wouldn't be so quick to blame your connection, bandwidth usage or router settings. Think back, did this ever occur with your previous device? I bet the answer is no.

check your phones wifi setting. setting>wifi>menu>advanced i unchecked auto network switch and it doesn't show the notice

I have this problem atleast once a day even though this is the only device on my network and it lasts about ten minutes each time. I cracked out the note 2014 and checked speed while my phone refused to connect because network is slow and wouldn't ya know 12Mbps down 3 up with no probs connecting. Ran into this on the 2014 stock with adblock+ running. Disabled it and no probs since. Wonder if the adblock in xnote is causing this. Anyone else rommed with some type of adblock that is or is not having this problem? Need info to find out. Thanks.

Hmm I am rooted with an ad block in place. I'll disable it when I go to work and see what happens.

I remember getting that annoying message early on, around thanksgiving, so it stopped quite a while ago. I was thinking, WTH, I never got this from my other phones.

I don't have adblock installed on my GN3

I've had the sane issue, but it is now fixed. I originally had GPS issues with my Note 3 and finally decided to replace it at an AT&T service center. The replacement I got had a functioning GPS, but was having the same WiFi issues as the OP. I got on the phone with AT&T and Samsung and after 2 more replacement phones, I was about to give up.
In desperation, I called my ISP (Uverse) and they suggested I change my WiFi channel to a fixed channel rather than auto and it worked. It is clearly an issue with the WiFi chip in the newer Note 3's but the workaround worked for me. I set it back to auto channel and it failed again almost immediately. Apparently every time the channel on my router changed, the connection was deemed unstable.

Sprint M8 WiFi Tether Router Settings

Here are the setting I used to get tethering working. I believe most if not all of these are the same setting that were used to get tethering working again on the EVO LTE after the 4.3 update.
App = WiFi Tether Router(I think it was roughly $2 in the Play Store)
Interface = wlan0
Method = 3-HostApd
No Firmware Reload is Not Checked
Drivers = nl80211
Wi-Fi Mode = I'm using WiFi - N
ApType = ad-hoc
Keep Screen ON is Not Checked
Prevents Stand-By Is Checked
MTU Adjust is Not Checked
HostApd Patch Is Checked
Power Transmit Mgmt Is Checked
In Addition if you click on Advanced WiFi settings you need to uncheck "Scanning Always Available"
I don't think I messed with anything else. And Obviously some of the options are under the users discretion.
I'm going to try to get TreveMod's version of WiFi tether working also. If I have any luck I'll post those settings also.

Works perfectly!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!

Did you try changing the wifi channel on the app? I usually don't leave it on 1 but my laptop doesn't seem to want to connect to anything but channel 1.
Also, how are everyone's speeds on this thing? Im testing 28 megs on the phone itself but on my devices are all at 2 megs. Seems similiar to oldschool wifi tether for root user where for some reason it wasn't tethering at full speed.

I'm getting roughly 5mb down and up on my Surface Pro while my M8 is pulling roughly 7mb up and down so I am seeing some speed loss but not as much as you are.

As for the channel you should try to run channel 6 or 11 since that is the standard channels that your average router runs at. Try both, one or the other may work better depending on the amount of interference in your home due to microwaves, portable phones, and other routers in the vicinity.

Worked for me. $2.50 well spent.

For some reason it kept freezing up everytime I tried to "Start WiFi Router," but after applying your settings (from OP), it actually works (after briefly acting frozen). Thanks!
(Using BadSeed 2.0 ROM on M8)

App locked up out of the box, however once I applied the recommend settings from the op seems to work no problem. I hardly ever use tether but if I am ever in a pinch it's nice to have set up. I also liked supporting good apps anyway. $2.50 well spent thanks for the suggestion op.

Just glad to save people from some of the frustrations I went through with tethering.

Works great with OP settings. Actually seems to work better than any of the native tether hacks I've had since JB. Worked all day Friday with my surface pro2 and this setup and not one single issue! Well worth the money and the widget works well too! Thanks!
