WiFi / Cell handoff issues? - Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh

Anybody experiencing WiFi/Cell handoff issues? After a while, I loose cell reception when connected to WiFi, it toggles on/off. When I turn off WiFi and turn it back on, it solves the issue for a while.

Fixed the issue.....
Went into the bootloader and cleared the cache.

I'm not sure if this is the same type of issues, but since the update, I've found that I can't receive MMS messages on my phone when I am connected to WiFi and a network extender. (I live in the sticks and get terrible reception without a network extender) If I turn off the WiFi, the messages send and receive without a problem. Any thoughts?

[Q] Mobile Data stays on with Wifi

Anybody else experiencing this.. Wifi is on and connected but my 4G-LTE arrows are still showing and flashing as if it was transmitting and receiving.. but my Wifi is on??
I am using Launcher Pro instead of LG Home so I have access to the power widget in the Notification Bar but not the LG Home power controller.
I just installed Power Control Plus and it seems to shut off LTE and 3G when you press the 3G button and can keep it off with or without Wifi on.
I've noticed this. It doesn't bother me due to the fact that I have unlimited data. If it want for that it would bug the **** out of me.

As far as I know, on all the android phones I've had, u have to manually shut off mobile data even when connected to wifi. There are apps that include this option when making "profiles" that get triggered (tasker, CPU tuner) but otherwise I think it stays on unless manually turned off. Maybe its not using mobile data but it appears to stay "on".

On my olds droid the 3G would turn off when I got onto a wifi network. I might just be special. Lol

I have the same issue. It actually goes further, because when I manually turn off mobile data through the Settings menu the data icon still stays on. If I use a tool like Dataswitch the icon goes away, but I never had to do that with any of my other phones.
The other issue with wifi that I'm having is that if I set the Wifi sleep policy to turn off after 15 mins of inactivity it can't reconnect after it turns itself off. So when I start using the phone again it just keeps trying to obtain the IP address of the network without ever succeeding. I've tried this on multiple networks. I have to turn off wifi and then turn it back on. Anybody experience this?
These issues aren't big but they're starting to make me question the quality of the LG Revolution and I may exchange it for the Charge.

I have this issue too, and it is annoying. I'm not worried about exchanging it, because I'm sure this will be addressed in the port of CM7 that TheCubed is working on.

Do issues like these usually get fixed in a port of CM7? Do you think the issue of mobile data staying on when it should be off will get addressed as well?
Any idea when CM7 for the Revolution will be available?

3g or E not turning off when I turn on Wi-Fi

This problem started happening this evening for no reason.
Normally when I turn on Wi-Fi 3g turns off. But for some reason this evening when I turn it on the e or 3g is staying on even though I have full Wi-Fi signal( sitting next to it).
anyone any ideas how to fix this.

Maybe try wipe Cache and Dalvik-Cache...
Are you on a custom rom?
Did you try a reboot?
You sure net trough wifi was not off?

Activate wifi and go to http://www.hostip.info/ from the phone to see what network interface the phone uses, if it's the 3G one it's probably the phone having problem detecting internet through the wireless router for some reason, if it's the wifi something is messed up im afraid.
Not sure where in the rom it's defined to shut it off when wifi is detected.

Data and Wifi completely drop, have to do airplane mode to turn it back on

I don't know why, but this is a consistent problem and it's getting annoying. I will only have bars, but no wifi or internet connection. This just randomly happens and I don't know what triggers it.
I have to turn airplane mode on and off to fix the problem. Is there something that is causing this?

This doesn't really help.
What happens is data and wifi disappear and if I hit wifi it won't turn on. I have to turn airplane mode on and off and it starts working again.

I have had the same thing happen,but only once or twice,I chalked it up to my home WiFi threw Comcast ,I've been having major problems with my Comcast modem dropping WiFi or to slow of a connection,think I have to replace the modem just been to lazy,but I have the smart network switch on in my phones wifi settings so I thought maybe from the signals switching so much it froze or something,but yea it did same thing I had no lte or 4G next to my carrier signal,the wifi was not allowing me to turn it on,or scan for networks,wasn't even showing any so I did the same thing hit the airplane toggle and it came back.

Sorry i have no others solution for it.
I just posted a thread about the EXACT SAME issue. It only seems to happen overnight, but when I wake up in the morning my wifi has been turned off and my 4G LTE isn't working. When I try and toggle wifi back on it gets stuck and never reconnects/turns on. My solution has been to restart the phone.
I'm thinking since this seems like a rare problem, that this is a device-specific issue. I'm going to try and exchange mine this weekend due to this problem and hopefully get a properly functioning GS5 instead.

Have the same issue (made a post about it already in this forum). Usually happens when there is a large fluctuation in signal. Grocery store where I get no service results in no service when I leave the store as well. Have to cycle airplane mode like you described.
WiFi hasn't done it yet.
Another forum member suggested it may happen if using an older style SIM, which I am (from my S3). I haven't been up to change it yet. What SIM are you guys using?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2744472
I typically have this happen when I'm at home at night, while my phone is plugged in and on wifi. Just disconnects at some point overnight.
I'm using a brand new SIM provided by AT&T when I upgraded in store.
Very strange issue and is random. For instance, it didn't happen overnight last night.

My S5 just started dropping data randomly and causing my battery to drain with almost no usage... I tested using Skype in a good 4G LTE area and will start out with 4 bars and the 4G LTE icon but as soon as I try to initialize a test video call over Skype the signal immediately drops to either no bars at 4G or it will go straight to E!? I haven't had this issue in a long time and it just suddenly started. At first I figured maybe they lost a tower but now this is going on almost a full week. I've got unlimited Data so I know that's not the issue, it has a brand new SIM... I'm going to AT&T and see if they have an answer or if they'll swap it out. Annoying!
Also annoying that sending a simple text will fail... ugh no root and now no data! :what::banghead:

I've had this happen several times, but only at my work. Reception is poor at my office, and the company WiFi requires browser-based login each hour, which I switch to many times a day.
The phone basically stops using all radios EXCEPT bluetooth, showing a circle with a line through it. I've been rebooting the phone to restore connectivity, but will try toggling airplane mode next time. I haven't noted any strange battery drain.
I haven't seen this issue when wifi is disabled.
I didn't notice it locked up a few days ago and drove home where cell reception is very good. The phone didn't recover until I rebooted it.
I have a brand new SIM from ATT and use a Gear 2 (which is greatness, btw)
I've done the following:
1. disabled the damn ATT hotspot app
2. Disabled/enabled the Wifi connection check setting
3. Did a full factory reset
This is getting close to a deal breaker for me.
As an update...
I have this issue basically every work day with the aforementioned environmental variables
Today, I:
Disabled Bluetooth (left the gear at home)
Disabled wireless
Switched radio to 'LTE/GSM/CDMA Auto' with instructions in this thread
The radios haven't locked up and reception is much better.
I'll try leaving WiFi/BT on and use my Gear again next week.
For anyone who is still interested, changing the modem setting seems to have resolved the problem for me. It also improved connectivity in weak areas a good deal.
Unfortunately you must enter the key sequence to toggle the radio each time the phone is restarted.

Wifi slow with lte

I have a weird issue when connected to wifi and lte on in mobile networks my wifi speeds are slow,but when I pull the sim card or drop down to wcdma in the mobile settings it goes back to full speed. I am not sure if the sim card is bad or if it's something on tmobile's end anyone else have this issue. To test put the phone in airplane mode and turn on wifi and check you speeds it really noticeable in the YouTube app or instagram.

I get the same speed in plane mode with Wifi on as I do with LTE on. Maybe some router specs? Im only using Wireless N, so if you're using AC I can't perform the same test as you.
I am getting slow speeds but I have the At&t model. I'm only getting around 4-5 down and 20 up and I have 2 of them doing the same exact thing. Both my old Note 3's and my S4 active are pulling 15-20 down and 18-20 up every time. AC dual router 2.4 and 5.0

same exact issue, when I am connected through wifi and tmobile LTE, my dl speeds are 120mbps and ul speeds are ~mbps, but apps in general take forever to load. I tested the same way you did, I turned on airplane mode and turned off wifi after and connected and it is super fast. I can't seem to figure out why wifi and LTE are so slow together.
I have a weird problem also, on WiFi at home I have full Internet speed on chrome and YouTube but on Facebook it won't load. But when I switch to lte data everything works properly. It's probably a WiFi setting but I didn't have this problem on my nexus 5 on WiFi at home

Try force stop beaming service and then check it out, as in my case it causes after it updates the beaming service
Has anyone found a fix for this issue?
My home wifi seems to cause massive lag for the bloatware version of facebook. Other apps have great speed and download times. However I have no issues anywhere else just at home. If I switch to 4G it runs just fine.

No Data connection until I restart

Hi,
Has anyone had this problem - or any ideas what it might be?
Basically, every now and then I'll lose the data connection (but keep signal for voice and text). Turning airplane mode on/off doesn't rectify it, neither does turning off/on the data connection. However if I restart the phone, I'll get data signal straight away.
Any ideas?
what about changing network type from 3g to 2g and back ?
I used to have this problem on three UK with nexus 4 and 5. Might be a carrier issue?

I have exactly the same issue. Only cure seems to be a reboot. Haven't seen a pattern as to how or when it happens.

Funny you should say that, I'm with three at the moment...
I have the same problem. Though I'm from Russia and my network provider has nothing to do with Three (if only they exchange their "expertise").
I had this with my Z3C. Also on Three but my Moto G and Nexus 5 are fine. I think Bluetooth might have something to do with it. In the end I sent my Z3C back for a refund as Sony were no help at all.
