[Q] PPTP VPN no traffic - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ever since upgrading to 4.4.2 I've been unable to use our corporate VPN. Connection reports it is established, however it won't transfer more than a few hundred KB before data stream drops.
Connection was fine on 4.3 and all my other devices still connect fine (nexus 7 and variety of laptops/desktops). I've found a variety of people with the same issue, but have not been able to find any definitive answers/fixes. This issue was present unrooted/100% stock, and remains present after rooting and flashing a variety of roms (alliance, firekat, currently on dynamic kat, trying to remain on 4.4). This is also true regardless of wifi or ATT's mobile net.
Anyone have any input?

My KK 4.4.2 Note3 works fine using OpenVPN application and OpenVPN server.

OpenVPN vs PPTP

Yup, me too. That's why the title is "pptp vpn".

Did you ever get this resolved? I am having issues connecting to my PPTP VPN service while on the mobile network. If I am connected to an external wifi network, it connects fine. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Problems with WPA Enterprise

Anyone else having trouble connecting to a WPA Enterprise network. My HTC Sensation running ICS connects fine to the wireless network as do many other Android devices. I'm getting "Authentication Problem" when trying to connect. I've verified we have the proper certs installed.
It just doesn't seem to work. Curious if anyone else is having problems connecting to their Enterprise Wireless Network.
Just to add information this is using TLS.
Working fine here, although we use Cisco APs & Controllers with PEAP and MSCHAPv2.
Cheers,
Kermee

I spoke to our networking people and they indicated that TLS is a whole different ball game that PEAP. Thanks for the feedback
I am having the same issue. It just gets stuck on authentication.

My hangs on authenticating and eventually goes to disconnected or "authentication issue"...
It's going to be no fun if a fix isn't found for this problem shortly. Our networking people looked at my N7 and confirmed that it is setup correctly but didn't know why it does not work. They may purchase one, since they have a user base (a University) that is likely to have quite a few people looking to use it.
It seems this may be an across the board problem with Jelly Bean. Came across this http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=34212
Assign Static IP
I had a problem at home with my security but was fine with my neighbors unsecured AP, so I just assigned an IP and it worked great.

no love with WPA Enteprise TLS
I am having WPA Enteprise TLS problem as well.
My TFP connects fine witi ICS.
Hoping for a fix to come out soon.
Same Problem hear. I have a Galaxy Nexus with 4.1.1 and the Nexus 7 with 4.1.1. EAP-TLS is the authentication method. Galaxy Nexus works, Nexus 7 doesn't work.
Hi all,
I have same issue with mine Nexus 7. Our wi-fi at work uses EAP-TLS. I have a key .pfx that I installed on several gadgets. Nexus 7 is the first device where it does not work.

[Q] Wifi tether cm 11

I would love to be able to use the wifi tether in 4.4 but for some reason the phone doesn't push an ipv4 address to any connecting devices. I have tried the stock and wifi tether beta. Both are connectable but no actual internet across them 4.3 works wonderfully.

Phone can't find chromecast in CM11 when connected to VPN

Hi all,
not sure this is the right forum as I haven't altered my chromecast in any way... Anyway, I used to connect my Galaxy S3 running CM10.2 to my chromecast while being connected to a VPN (PIA). Yesterday I updated to CM11, reinstalled all apps using TB, and found out that my phone now can't see the chromecast anymore when I'm connected to the VPN. When I disable the VPN, the chromecast shows up fine. Has that happened to anyone else? I didn't change any settings so I assume it's somehow related to CM11 / Android 4.4. To be clear, I don't need to have the chromecast connect through the VPN to watch Netflix for example as I am in the US, it's just inconvenient having to disable the VPN every time I use the chromecast...
Any ideas/suggestions/explanations are much appreciated!
Cheers

Sounds like in your new configuration the VPN connection has precedence over the local network. I have no clue how to change that, but hopefully you do.
Sometimes there's an option akin to "route all/local/Internet traffic through VPN" that controls what traffic hits the VPN.

This happens to me now as well. I no longer use a vpn for this reason unless you can configure your router to use it. Basically it looks at your chromecast as being on a different network since it isn't on your vpn. This is the case for cm11 and stock roms on my Nexus 5.
that's...unfortunate... makes me consider going back to cm10.2...
thanks for your replies!

T-MoUSA Z1s C6916 WiFi HotSpot not broadcasting (14.4.B.0.56, rooted, not-deodexed)

Awesome community, I'm having an interesting (read: annoying) problem with my (above mentioned) T-MoUSA Z1s on firmware 14.4.B.0.56.
Prior to the latest firmware OTA push, my WiFi tether worked perfectly. It broadcast, devices could see the SSID and connect, etc. Since the update, even though all the visual indicators on my phone say that WiFi Hotspot and set to broadcast, everything on devices configured to connect (even if the SSID isn't broadcasting) acts like the network isn't present. I've tried changing every aspect of the configuration; SSID changed, Encryption changed, disabled, re-enabled, etc. Nothing has worked. T-Mo reps confirm my plan is still set to allow WiFi Hotspot. They also confirm they've seen no data on the WiFi HotSpot allowance.
I can't find any other threads in the Help/Troubleshooting section about this, nor has there been any mention in the update-related discussions in General and in Android Dev. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Update!
Using root explorer, I renamed the entire folder of \data\misc\wifi and rebooted. After reboot, launching WiFi Tethering prompted for setup again. Tethering now works.
Dear Marius
so have you achieved root on your c6916?
Many thanks!

Wifi Issue with Nexus 6

I have been doing research on this and it turns out that the Nexus 6 had issues with corporate wifi on 5.0. Corporate wifi is just wifi that requires a username and password to access if you do not know and this is the kind of wifi my college uses. Well hoping this problem would be fixed with 5.1 update I got the update and am still having the same issue it verifies the network but only says saved never connects however many tries it does its just a huge loop and this is getting very annoying. I dont know if there is something I should try to resolve this problem or will just have to stick it out until google addresses it. If anyone knows more about this issue please inform me because I have reached a wall with my research on this issue.
Yeah, ever since I updated to 5.1 I haven't been able to connect either, and I try through the Xpress Connect app like and it never works. I had been able to connect normally when I was on 5.0.1 before.

Hm, my cable company offers local WiFi and I've been able to connect to their userid/password-required routers, then use their network. Did this just a couple days ago when signal in a particular store was really hampered.
Maybe it depends on the particular router and/or configuration they use?

We had to update firmware on our corporate router for the problem to go away.
See my post here for more details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59682044&postcount=12
LEAP authentication.
Try installing the hydra kernel.
I use it along with meanpop and have no problems connecting to LEAP

By username and password I meant one that the company or school gives you individually its not the kind of regular router login because at home I connect no issues but its the school wifi they even checked my account to make sure I wasnt blocked out of it and I was not. My fault for not being specific in the original post.
In my case N6 was able to connect to one password protected SSID without an issue, the subnet associated with this SSID is dedicated to provide internet access only.
The SSID N6 was having problem to authenticate with, was another SSID, whose subnet is bridged to provide access to both internet, and to corporate network.
According to Dell support, the Sonicwall router was failing to authenticate a connection coming through a bridged interface. I guess, N6 and/or Android 5.1 implements something new vis-a-vis authentication, that an older SonicWall firmware was not designed to deal with.
Immediately after SonicWall firmware update the problem was resolved.
Just wanted to chime in on this one... We have a corporate Wi-Fi as you describe (each user has a separate logon to the network) and I've not had any problems with Lollipop, 5.0 or 5.1. Not very helpful for you, but at least now you know it can work...
