Gray bars and Green bars? What in the world?

My friend and I both have N1's there are times that his radio bars are green and sometimes gray. I have not seen this with mine yet (just got it today). I only have seen gray. What would these color differences indicate?

yeah green = connected to google servers.
grey = disconnected from google servers.

Thanks Guys

Wanted to bump this. I am having this same issue, and my bars go from green to white especially after unlocking from standby. When they are white, I can't connect to anything even though I am connected to wifi at home? This issue is REALLY annoying. Anyone else dealing with this or know of a fix? Sometimes it randomly changes while I am using it. The only way to get it to go back to green is signing into google talk, which sometimes takes 3-4 tries with server connection errors in between. When I am at home I have little to no internet connection via cell, and gprs is all I can connect to, which is why I use the wifi at home. I just don't understand why I can't use the internet if the google server is not connected, and why it drops the google server connection constantly. I should be able to use wifi for browsing apps even if its not connected to google???? Or am I wrong. Please help.
Thanks
(I am running stock, and the phone is not rooted btw..thanks)

try changing your wifi sleep policy to never...
settings--> wifi or whatever--> press menu --> sleep policy --> never
that SHOULD fix it when you're at home... outside i don't know since i dont use data.
cheers!

You're mixing cause and outcome. Your WiFi doesn't work at home, or your phone doesn't want to work with your home WiFi - that's the reason you can't connect to internet, and that's also the reason why you're seeing grey bars.

I have started having this problem this week too. My WiFi is fine. The browser connects and loads pages fine. My connections are now always grey/white instead of green regardless if I'm on WiFi or 3G/2G. All Google services do not work. I am not receiving push emails nor can I force sync in the Gmail app. I've tried to connect by opening up Google Talk but it closes right away. My WiFi sleep policy is already set to never.
My phone is running stock 2.3.4, unrooted.

Odd Wi-Fi behavior

My M7 is running T-Mobile US Stock 4.4.2/5.5 ROM with ElementalX 14.0 kernel, rooted, unlocked, S-OFF. Since updating to the OTA 4.4.2 ROM, there are some strange issues that happen when using Wi-Fi. When I'm at home I have the phone always connected to Wi-Fi (using a 5GHz band 802.11n connection). What I've noticed are two problems. The first one is that I cannot receive MMS messages when I'm connected to Wi-Fi. When someone attempts to send me an MMS, I will get an error message that the message cannot be downloaded. I can then disconnect from Wi-Fi (which makes the phone use the LTE connection) and immediately the MMS is downloaded and can be viewed. Note that I can send MMS when Wi-Fi is connected, I just cannot receive them.
The second issue has to do with the Google Play Store. Most of the time when I get app update notices, the apps will update without a problem. However, there are some apps that just won't download if I'm connected to Wi-Fi. In the Play Store, the "downloading" status will just never update, it will eventually time-out. If I disconnect from Wi-Fi (and again, connect to LTE), I can then download/update the app without any problem. And like I wrote, this is only on some apps, most of them will update over Wi-Fi without a problem. It totally baffles me what could cause these issues.
My APN settings are default for T-Mobile US, since it is the stock ROM. My Wi-Fi connects to Comcast cable and uses Google DNS, so that's pretty standard and nothing is blocking websites/access.
Any ideas? Anyone else experience these issues?

Nobody else seen any of this?

Wifi Bug

Hello, i'm writing this thread because i have been getting this annoying wifi bug for a while now, the problem is that when i'm using the "Keep Wifi on during sleep" option on Always, when i put the phone to sleep sometimes the wifi stops working and i stop receiving notifications from any app that requires an internet connection, when i unlock the phone and pull down the status bar i'm still connected to the wifi network but the icon is in orange color which means it's not getting any data, and in order to fix this i need to turn off and on the wifi and it starts working again but it's annoying because sometimes the phone is locked and someone sent me a whatsapp message and i don't receive it until i notice that my wifi is bugged.
This bug happened to me when i was using cm 11 and after that i changed the rom to slimkat (fresh install of course) and the bug appeared again. Anyone experienced this bug before and could help me out please? Thanks!

Moto G (Dual Sim) Internet Connectivity Issues

Hi, I'm new here so forgive me if I do something wrong^^
First of all, I have a Moto G 2014, Dual Sim which is running on 5.1.1, to be more specific, this ROM. I was using this ROM for about 4 months already so that shouldn't be the issue. My problem is that after my phone connects to the internet, usually using H+. The connection to the internet is working perfectly fine, but after a while of not using the phone it loses the connection. It still tells me that it got a strong H+ connection, but nothing (browser, apps, anything) is able to connect to the internet. Enabling & disabling airplane mode usually fixes the problem. From time to time it also happens, usually when I lost some sort of wifi connection (regardless if I disabled wifi or I got out of range) it happens that it shows full connectivity but with an exclamation mark. This only goes away if I reboot or enable & disable airplane mode again.
Is this issue known/is there any solution to

I have been experiencing the exact same thing as of lately. I thought it was a byproduct of downgrading from (Stock) Marshmallow to (Stock) Lollipop (yes! it's happening even on stock ROM) where at times the WiFi losses connectivity when the phone had been sleeping for awhile...even though I have the "Keep WiFi on during sleep" option on under WiFi's advanced settings. I had no idea that it also happens with data connections ! ...as I don't use it (too expensive for me), now I'm uncertain what could be the cause. I can see how this would be an inconvenience if you use a lot of social media apps as I sometimes do not get my WhatsApp messages when this happens and sometimes I don't even receive my Hangouts messages until I open the app manually.
It's strange, at times when my phone sleeps for awhile and it losses connectivity and I wake it, it will reconnect just fine and other times it just goes into this state where it reconnects with full signal strength but with an exclamation mark next to the WiFi icon in the notification bar. When this happens, no matter what I try it stays in this state, I tried turning off WiFi and turning it back on, also forgetting the network and entering the info and reconnecting to it but none of that works. I didn't know that turning on and off airplane mode can help....I'll have to try that one, rebooting the phone was the only solution I found which is just inconvenient and somewhat annoying.
I too, am interested in a proper solution. I don't know why the phone ignores the "Keep WiFi on during sleep" option or why at times it connects but have not internet access! It should be noted that it's not a problem with the network, It's not due to an incorrect password or anything like that as I am the one that administers those things and when it happens other WiFi devices such as my Tablet PC, Laptop etc can connect and access the internet just fine and it only happens sometimes on the phone (Moto G 2014). This doesn't seem to happen in Marshmallow...but I hate Marshmallow and I can't remember having this issue on Lollipop post Marshmallow update (how I wish I had never tried out Marshmallow!!!), which is why I thought it was related to downgrading, .......did you downgrade ?

WI-FI Sleeping?

This is a problem I've noticed for quite a few months now, before the MIUI 12 update (possibly even saw it on 10).
The best way I can desribe it is the WI-FI connection seems to go to sleep randomly when the phone has been locked.
I won't get any notifications, I won't get any messages through facebook come through etc. The device still says it's connected to my home WI-FI network though. If I try to browse the web or do something else then it will try to do it instead of saying No Internet, it acts like it does have an internet connection (probably because it believes it's connected to a wi-fi network?) but will never succeed.
If I then turn WI-FI off and on again I'll then get bombarded with notifications and messages I've missed.
Is anybody else experiencing this and is there a solution? It's only a 2-second inconvenience to flick the WI-FI off and on, but it's an annoyingly regular occurence and more importantly I'm missing messages and notifications which could be important to me.
