Wifi not working all of a sudden - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

Okay so I have the att galaxy s 5 and all of a sudden the wifi has just stopped working, nothing has been changed and I have already tried restarting modem/router and different wifi settings/locations and it will connect but whenever I try to load up a page on browser it gives out some error about dns any ideas?
edit: any ideas that don't involve factory reset would be great as this is also my work phone and can't risk it not having any of the needed apps

Clearing Dalvik Cache and fixing permissions can do a world of good!

I have noticed this as well, right after I took the 4.4.4 ota.
Even made sure smart network switch disabled.
It's been a nightmare, thanks ATT. Running stock, no root for now.

I gave up on koolkit because i couldn't get wifi passwords to save.
I'm running oa1 now i just updated from ne4 and ne4 worked fine, now l oa1 won't remember my wifi passwords.
I wiped devalink cache
Fixed permissions
No bueno

How?
Found this
easy fix for the wifi password issue:
WiFi always prompting for password FIX:
To Fix the WiFi password issue:
using a root explorer (esfile explorer is included in the rom)
browse to /system/build.prop
open it for editing
scroll down until you find this line
ro.securestorage.support=true
delete the entire line and save the build.prop then reboot your device.
I changed it to false instead of deleting it.
I think XRange had the better idea there.
I'll report whether it worked or not when i get to work.

SOLVED
I have cleared cache and devalink cache, fixed permissions (didint work)
Changed the above value (did not need to delete the line)
Now it saves passwords
I recomend doing all of the above

[Q] n7000 download issue from google play

hi!
my samsung note from vodafone keeps getting error message when trying download or update any apps larger than 7.5mb, when i logged into google play account, the status of those apps were completed. these have been happening for 1 month, since i come back from 3 months holiday overseas. I have factory reset my samsung note when the issues happened, but nothing help.
when i download or update those apps, i would mostly get the error message "package file is invalid" and also "error 911" "error 923". i contacted vodafone and google play support, they checked everything for me and couldn't find any issues between their services and my accounts.
when i shared the wifi to an ipad or a samsung tab, there was no problem downloading on these devices. so the issues are only with my note n7000.
i am wondering if there is any settings that could cap my downloading capacity.
can anyone help me with the issues asap please? it's such a headache!!!
thanks!

I have the same issue! Thought it was just "normal" or Play Store related, not a problem. Hope there's an answer somewhere.
if you have checked all the settings related to APN, clear data, and cache of Google play and play services, also uninstalled updates, wiped dalvik cache in recovery.. still the same issue. once try to delete the google account and re enter it. and check again
Well there are some 3G packs that limit bandwidth. I dont think its a problem of your device when you can download over wifi. Change your sim and try again with another one.

If everything is stock and you didnt tinker with rom/ google apps then try warrantee.
If warrantee/Samsung cant fix it then try philz kernel for your rom. downoload your csc rom (dial *#06#, to get emei).
then dial *#272*youremeihere# then you know what csc and what rom to download.
Now backup fotos, texts etc (no apps or data) and go into recovery mode, on phillz kernel and wipe everything, also in advanced (only dalvik) Go to mounts and format everything (take out sdcard before)
Now head into download mode, confirm and flash the rom via pc odin (dr ketans thread stickied in development section)
It should be working again after this.

not working
Stock rooted, nj7
I have unlimited data, 3gb cap tethering. I get upsell page. But I already used my 3gb before trying this mod. Maybe I'll have to wait for the new billing cycle to confirm this to work but it should've worked if it uses my unlimited data vs tether data? On s4 I had that issue, the new cycle started and what do you know (it work).
Running FireKatv2, also tried adding ,dun to apn and adding a line to some database to tether_dun_required. The wifi tether router works fine, and I have Xposed. I also have Wanam Xposed with "Disable tether provisioning" checked (I've tried it both ways). Doesn't work

uninstall/disable xposed and wanam. best to restore a backup or clean install, flash the mod again and dont touch anything. I have set everything up already! all you have to do is turn tethering on, if you have connectivity issues, click the fast.t-mobile.com APN again (which is default APN anyway) it will reset and then reconnect a device.
Tested working on DynamicKAT 1.2
Sorry, new around here and got redirected here. Will try to get out of probation quickly!
Mod works just as it should on DynamicKAT v1.2.
Also, I believe the "Legal Tethering" note is meant to highlight the fact that Tethering is in fact seen as "Legal" by the Network. We should really start worrying when if it starts saying "Illegal Tethering".
Thanks for the reply. I just moved to hyperdrive and everything works perfect! Thanks again

Did you use foxfi 3rd party with firekat?
Will this work on the Sprint variant?
I followed this guide step-by-step. My tethering data is still being used.
I have a Galaxy Note 4 and am using the stock firmware. I have rooted.
Previously, I had tried using xposed and xtether. I disabled xtether then uninstalled xposed but to no avail.
I have a 5GB tethering cap and now it's at 5/5GB. What am I doing wrong?
I've read in this thread that it's best to start with clean install -- how do I do this? Perform the default system wipe in TWRP?
Does it matter if I'm not on nJ7 firmware I am on the firmware that came on the note 4 the reason I ask is because this tethering mod does not work on my note 4.what is it that I'm doing wrong? Thanks In advance!!!
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
Just to post an update -
This wasn't working for me before and it still isn't. I tried to start from a "clean installation" like OP suggested and here's how I did it:
Re-flashed with stock firmware
Re-installed root
Re-installed TWRP
Installed this mod
I've maxed out my tether usage and I still get a nice little T-Mobile splash screen when I try to go somewhere online with my laptop (when connected to the hotspot).
What gives?
Edit
---------------
So after reading through every page of the thread it seems that I need a "deodex rom". As I am completely new to all things Android I am currently educating myself on this. I searched OP and didn't see this mentioned although OP did say he needed to add it lol.
Could anyone link me to a recent/relevant guide on how to get a deodex stock rom for my T-Mobile Note 4? I've found a couple but they seem to assume some prerequisite knowledge and I'm not sure how old they are. Just want to make sure I do this right.
Tethering with Sausage Jimmy Dean
Well, since I installed a Deoxed Rom on my Note 4 (T-Mobile) I happily proceeded to tether away, and started dowloading stuff on my ps4 (thinking that its set) Did not know T-Mobile Giives you 3gb to share even if you dont have tethering and I reached my cap... i Flashed and I am Wondering if its to late to have normal speeds again. I have unlimited data, just wanted to know if you reach the cap on sharing will it stay like that until my new cycle starts even if I have unlimited mobile plan.

[Q] Note 4 lag and freezing problem

Hi I'm new to this site. I guess I'll explain it from the start. I got my phone rooted and my fingerprint scanner, heart rate sensor stop working, and phone keep freezing when typing or just in general. I switched the security from true to false and that fixed the heart rate sensor. But the freezing and fingerprint scanner is still broke. I need help to fix the freezing at least without having to reset my phone. Any suggestions? Please help.
Did you have finger print scans in memory when you rooted?
I'd look here first

Did you upgrade to Lollipop? If you did not do a clean install when you upgraded you need to factory reset your device. Sometimes going from kitkat to lollipop causes the apps to get hung up. Best way to fix it is to factory reset.

You can restore from a backup. I used titanium backup to restore my apps. Just don't restore system info. Worked fine after a full reset on my phone. Has been running great.

I would not use any app data from any back up. You are going from a deodex or odex rom to an art type. Eventually you will have bad battery problems.

Memory fix same for AT&T Galaxy S6 Edge?

Curious if anyone has tried to use the memory fix posted here for the ATT version of the galaxy s6 edge. I noticed that my build.prop doesn't have the lines mentioned that I should remove.
I have the Sprint Edge variant and would be interested in knowing as well. I've been scouring the various forums but to no avail.
I have tried both versions of the fix and they worked fine. Don't download the kernel, just make the changes to build.prop and reboot.

Yes i did try it i used buildprop editor you can find the lines just change the values and just add those missing lines and values backup 1st your buildprop before doing it..its faster and smoother then much ram.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I can confirm that adding those buildprop lines to the bottom, and deleting the duplicates from above did not cause any issues. Not sure if it improved performance just yet, but hopeful.
I did it correctly, been doing this for years... Yet I bootlooped and had to Odin stock reset. Not sure what went wrong, followed directions to the T. On Att edge.
I didn't get the kernel btw. I'll try again this weekend after I make a backup.

Install es file explorer.. go to the tools section on the left and select root. Then, click on the actual bar that says root explorer, and under "mount r/w", make sure to select rw for both root and system. Then go to your edited build.prop under /system and select it. Go to properties, and select permissions. You want to make sure that all three options (owner, group, and other) have read priveleges and that only owner has wite priveleges.. That's equivalent to 0644.
I've done it, just noticing that when seeing a video for more of the screen on time it turn off the screen
