[Q] Issue in connecting to 2G/3G/H/H+

Hi,
I am using Note for more than 2 months now. I was using N1 before. And I had the same issue with N1 also.
Issue is,
In my work place, there are some area where no mobile would get a network. I used to stay connected always. But due to this network issue, my internet would get disconnected but would not get connect again when the network is back.
As I said I had this same issue with N1 but I normally toggle the Flight Mode to bring it back. But in Galaxy Note, this workaround is not working. I have to restart the mobile to get connected.
Does anyone have solution for this issue?

I don't know what you are asking. The issue is the connection gets lost when there is no network. But it's not re-connecting once the network is back. I have to restart the mobile to get the connection.

i meant is it happening only in your office or even in other place too..??
Try with different network. (AIRTEL/BSNL/IDEA or any other)

I think this is an intermittent android problem. I have no signal in my flat, and sometimes when i go out it doesn't reconnect properly, and i need to restart before i get texts/voicemails that i missed while inside. Its an occasional problem, and only happens sometimes. And usually it happens when i spend an entire day indoors so the phone has been without signal for some time.
This also happened on my hd2 with gingerbread and Ics. And also happens on my gfs HTC salsa. It's not a note specific problem as far as i can tell.

I had the same problem in my Note. problem was only in WCDMA mode. then i just changed it to GSM/WCDMA Mode. then everything went fine. you may try with GSM mode also.

You are right. I had the same problem with my N1 too. But I never restart in my N1. Toggling the Flight Mode will bring back the connection. But its not working in Note.

i have this issue after i receive MMS.
i just go to settings, wireless and network, mobile networks, access point names, tap on my web connection (vf web since im on vodafone AU), and then just hit back. the 3g logo will disappear and then reappear as the phone reconnects to the correct wireless access point.

After OTA 4.3 update Wii turning on and off

I just did the 4.3 OTA update and my WiFi keeps turning on and off on the phone. It loses connection and reconnects once a minute. Any ideas?

Took the OTA yesterday and I am not having that happen to me at all.

No issues here.

UPDATE:
Its not just my Wifi. Its the 3G too. All data drops out and connects again about once a minute. Spent an hour on the phone with Sprint. They tried everything including a wipe and hard software reset and still the issue is there. Only thing I can think of is that they snuck in some optimizing software or something. Either way, I now will need to go to a corporate sprint store. Really do not want to replace this phone that I have had for 27 days with a refurb, so any ideas will be welcomed.

I was having the same issue, do you live in an area with 4G? I don't and I think it was the cause. I think my phone was 'programmed' to think there was 4G around, but there wasn't. I kept seeing eHRPD under network info. I think it might be a 4.3 bug, bc I went back to Viper and it worked fine. Not really sure, but Amazon replaced my phone and now I'm scared to go back to 4.3 and get plagued with the bug again. I also think the new radio gave me issues, so I downgraded to the original radio also

This happened to me, it was a mixture of a damaged N antenna and bad sprint lte performance. Reverting to a g router fixed the problem for me. You should try a different router. Now fixing your regular signal, that's something you'll have a tough time with. I recommend you go to a sprint store and get a replacement asap though, my suggestion is not a fix, just a temporary measure. Curious, did you try the GPE rom by team nocturne? This issue started once I reverted from the TN GPE rom to stock. I think that rom may have damaged my radio/antenna. It's just a far fetched theory but plausible nonetheless. And a risk I took willingly, but still, I'm just curious to clarify if it was tinkering or sh*tty htc components.

I personally think it is just 4.3. I didn't have any issues with 4.1.2 with my WiFi or connectivity. I've even tested it and my WiFi drops like crazy only on 4.3 but is fine on 4.1.2, so I reverted back and haven't had any issues.

I found this just now.. towards the bottom there's a dialer code *#*#4636#*#* if you do that and change to gsm/wcdma/lte (something like that) it resolved my problem with 3G not working. Wifi might be my router

I have looked in the settings and sometimes the power saver will automatically shut 3G of it will not reconnect with a disconnected I switch to LTE / CDMA only have had no issues and also the wifi is meant to do that to conserve battery you should be able to disable the wifi in advance I'm not short just my thoughts

Idk. In 4.3 all my settings were correct (*#*#4636#*#*) and I turned all battery conservation off and my data (3g and WiFi) would cut out intermittently while I was using it. I've tried that on stock and all other 4.3 ROMs, I think it might just be my phone not liking 4.3, but YMMV. Stuck on 4.1.2 until I get the Note 3.

It's a power save feature if you have enabled Power Saver. Basically if you haven't used the connection in a while it turns it off until the next scheduled update check or your screen turns back on.

I have been having the same exact issue and it is driving me nuts. I have problems at home, work and anywhere else I use Wifi so it is not just one router. I have tried numerous 4.3 roms and was about to roll back to 4.1.2 to see if that fixes it.
Was starting to think that I was crazy, glad I saw this post!

I'd hate to be (just kidding, I love being) the smart alec here, but your post title says "Wii turning on and off." I clicked on this thread wondering how your phone update was turning your Wii on and off.

I'm having the same problem after the update. Wifi turns on n off, so will my 3g/4g while I'm using it. Didn't have this problem before the update so I doubt it's hardware related.

Same here. I assumed it had something to do with the fact that they're working on lte in my area.

UPDATE:
At work (50 minutes from home) the 3G and Wifi spots I try are working fine. No strobe connection. But at home both Wifi and 3G blink. I know they are working on the antenna near home, so it must be the issue. Have tried shutting off mobile data while on wifi, tried both wifi antennas at home, can't seem to get the strobe effect to go away.

Yes, I messed up typing Wifi. At least with Wii up there get grabs people's attention.

[Q] WiFi Bounce During Poor Cell Coverage

So I have noticed this problem since the 4.3 upgrades have been out and it continues through the 4.4.2.
I have this problem at home on WiFi, when I am at home I have terrible cell coverage usually bouncing between no coverage and one bar. It seems that when I am bouncing between no cell coverage and one bar my WiFi drops and immediately reconnects.
I had originally thought that my access point was the culprit as I hadn't noticed it happening when I dropped in and out of cell coverage. So I replaced my WiFi system as the one I was on was 8-10 years old. So upgraded to new hardware (WiFi) and tried both 2.4g and 5g and problem persisted.
I have used stock roms, and others, currently on ViperOne 5.8. I have updated to the most current firmware along the way, I even flashed a full RUU and started over last weekend. In addition I have this issue on all three devices in the house (all HTC One M7's).
So today I tried something I should have thought of sooner. I put the phone in airplane mode and then turned on WiFi and noticed that the problem went away, consistent WiFi, no WiFi drop, bounce, etc.
So anyone have an idea as to why this would happen and how I can solve it or is it something that is not solvable except by HTC/Google?
Thanks all.

I think this is an HTC bug. I've seen many users here complain of this on the Sprint model. I have the same issue as well. I have mine set so I can see if I am on 4G or 3G even while I am connected to WiFi. I notice this bug happens exclusively (and nearly every time) when the phone goes from 4G -> 3G.

I had a similar issue but when i updated radios it went away

I don't have 4G in my area so that isn't a factor for me but I can see potentially this happening between 2G and 3G and I am usually roaming here so that would make sense.
Thx.

Most of the people I've seen with this problem had it start with the latest radio or the one before it. The latest radio definitely does not fix it here.

This also happens to me at home while connected to my WiFi , really annoying ,or sometimes if I'm at work .no WiFi connection ,it'll show I have 3g but won't let me load pages.

I had that problem as well, I even called Sprint, and they sent me an Airave which is on it's way now. Yet, the tower near my house (6 miles away) was fixed-ish today and it stops that whole reconnect and disconnect garbage. Plus, I get lte in about 80% of my house. This wifi mess was going on since December and I put my phone on roaming most of the time to make it a little more stable.

Just reporting back. I reverted to the previous radio this morning and my connection seemed to stay on. Not sure if I'm trippin or if it really is working better .gomna test it out some more and flash the newest radio and check if there's a difference.

[Q] Wifi Problem after CM11

Hi All, I've searched around and can't find threads that are exactly what I'm experience, so I'm hoping this is something the community can help with. I've been experiencing this problem since flashing CM11 a few months ago. My wifi has no problem searching and connecting, but intermittently while on wifi, I'll notice that I'll only send data and not receive it. Waiting 15-30 seconds will usually have it come back, or disabling/enabling will also fix it, but it's never consistent. I notice when the phone is plugged in, the wifi connection stays pretty good.
Just to clarify, I am not losing the wifi signal and the phone stays connected to the network. This happens in all kinds of wifi (whether home or work). Any help would be appreciated!

I dont know if its the same in CM11 but in stock rom you have some wifi options to reduce battery usage, maybe turning them off could help? If not you should make a nandroid baclup of your current setup and flash another rom temporarily to see if the issue persist. Btw are you using a stable build of CM11 or nightly builds? If you are using nightlty builds, you might want to try with a stable version.
Is this always happening when using routers of the same brand? I already had this kind of issue but it was with my One X not my M7. The only way I was able to use the wifi without making the routers hang (every d-link router) was to turn off the N band (5Ghz) and only use the 2.4 Ghz bands (a/b/g). Maybe it worth a try... but I never heard of this issue for the M7.

I tried the Wifi optimization option and it's the same performance. I'm using a stable build of CM11 and wanted to see if there's something I'm missing before flashing again.
I'ts a little bit difficult to tell which routers this happens with, as I can recall only having consistent wifi traffic once in the past 3-4 months. I've switched back and forth between 2.4ghz and 5ghz on my home router to the same issue as well.
Thanks for the suggestions...may just have to resort to a new ROM...

Anyone Experiencing Poor GPS Tracking/Lock?

Have been enjoying my brand new Oneplus 3T for exactly a week now. I switched from Oneplus One because I was tired of how poor the GPS lock is (If I recall correctly it starts to be problematic since Android 6). I was hoping that Oneplus 3T has better GPS lock & tracking, turns out it is more or less the same.
The GPS seems to be very accurate and working as it supposed to when you are not navigating, i.e. geotagging photos, checking in places with social media applications, or just opening navigation application but not navigating with them. But as soon as you start navigating, I had "No GPS signal" every few seconds and it is often confused where I am.
Anyone here experiencing the same problem with GPS? I'm on Oxygen OS 4.1.0.

Yep, I have the same problem I wonder if there will ever be a fix?

Are you on 3G? I found out that GPS works perfectly on 4G and 2G.

I have the same issues. If this software or hardware problems? 2g 3g 4g have effect on gps too?
I usually use waze, but it's keep loosing signal.
This is so anoyying.

Surprisingly yes. I read somewhere in the Oneplus forums that one member solved his problem by switching to 4G or 2G. I didn'ton't believe it at first but it turned out to be real.
