Att atrix hd connectivity issues

So i have had the phone for a couple of days and recently i have been having connection problems. My data will stop working even though i have bars and the 4g lte sign is up. I have to restart my phone to get my data back connected. Not even going to settings and turning the data toggle on and off works. Any ideas

Id call att for now and see what they say...

Toggle Airplane Mode. Works for me. I have the same issue.

airplane doesn't works all times.. i prefer suspend the phone for a few seconds..

Are you using any smart actions that affect your data connection? I had the same problem before I realized that the phone automatically turned off data when connected to WiFi. I had set up a smart action to do it as well, which I think confused the device and wouldn't connect to 4G. I had to factory reset to fix it. Left smart actions out of the loop, and haven't had a problem since.

Yea i tried the airplane mode and nothing. I had smart actions on but then i turned them off and still have yhe problems. I think im just going to factory reset and see if it fixes the problem. The problem usually happens when im at school where in my classes i get no reception. And after class i get the bars but still wont get data and then i restart my phone and then i get the flood of notifications.

This is exactly what happens to me..

could also be lte problems... as att deploys new towers and works on em sometimes you'll have problems for no reason... which is why i would try to call att or do a factory reset, is all i can think of

I had to factory reset my atrix. I dont use the smart actions anymore and that solved my problem

Yea, I stopped using also the smart actions as they seems more stupid than smart

I will have to disagree with you, once setup properly the smart actions are great. Never had a single issue with connectivity.

Weird... I have no issues

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.

thats not always the cure. but in the international section of the forums. looks like there was 2 OTAS and one has fixed the wifi issue. so it will come eventually

Thanks for the replies.

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.

I've been noticing WiFi drops also

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.

Great info! I just did it and rebooted so I will report back with the results. Thanks!!!

Another possible fix for you guys.. go into wifi in settings..hit menu then click advanced. Inside advanced make sure to uncheck auto network switch. Reboot and voila.

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?

(Q) Browser Bar Off?

I accidently turned off my browser bar when a pop-up intruded an email I was typing. I have no idea what the browser bar setting is but I cannot connect to any wifi network now. So I open up settings and clicked on the browser bar tab and it fc's settings every time. I tried a reboot, and clearing cache in recovery but it still won't let me turn the browser bar on. Any ideas here?
Not that I was at all impressed with the wifi capabilities on this device. My connectivity has been nothing short of pathetic and I've followed every rumored fix to no avail. I think I'm ready to try a factory data reset before my 14 days are up.
Again, any help is appreciated.

Exact same issue here.

This phone has the best WiFi I have had with any phone. There is a dead spot at my work wifi that all phones I have had would lose connection. So far, I have yet to lose connection with my 3 there.

It's very strange that the browser bar would have any effect on wifi connectivity to begin with. I've had it disabled for a while and haven't had any wifi problems.
Samsung has a bunch of performance/bug issues they seriously need to iron out. It's almost like they don't beta test these devices before they churn them out.

[Q] Problem toggling Mobile to WIFI

Has anyone encounter this issue? When toggling from MOBILE data to WIFI data, this error message appear and when long press to bring to the APP, it points to KNOX
"An application has been forced to stop for an unauthorized attempt to access system in your device."

U have Hi that for different reasons. Turn off knox

Wifi wont turn off

I noticed that after disabling/turning off Wifi, it still stays on and consumes battery, although Wifi icon shows switched off in notification and settings section. Restarting phone helps and WiFi finally switches off, however I do not want to restart phone every time when I want to switch off WiFi.
Does anyone have this problem and how ro resolve it?
My phone is in latest version on android 5.1.1 and on previous version I did not have such problems.

A factory reset might help

Thanks, but I would rather keep factory reset as a final option.
Any other suggestions?

Maybe wifi is configured to search for networks even if "turned off". Changing that might help

Sorry for silly question, how to configure WiFi to stop searching for network if it's turned off?
Thanks.

Go to settings - wifi - 3dot menu advanced.
