no mobile data after turning wifi off. - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all. I'm having a problem with my t mobile branded note 4. Using it on metro pcs. Running fireKat v10 rom. So when I turn wifi off my mobile data does not turn on. if I'm on wifi for long periods of time this happens. Let's say any less than 20 minutes and this rarely happens. It's like when I'm connected to wifi my mobile data goes to sleep eventually and doesn't want to turn back on. This has been happening since before rooting my note 4 and installed fire Kat. When I was on stock android no root it has been the same thing. only way to fix it is restart or airplane mode on and off. Which is very annoying to have to do every time I leave the house. Any help would be appreciated.

Either bad apn setting or bad rom flash.
BAD ASS NOTE 4

Flash v11x

Do a full wipe as Mega suggests

Will try different apn thanks. And will also try v11. And I always full wipe. But like I said the problem was before flashing any rom. I had the same problem on stock android. But thanks guys

If you had same issue on stock it is something wrong with root. Delete all files and redo it once you get past this.. Use the odin recommended in root steps not what you have on ur pc. Use what they say
BAD ASS NOTE 4

Tried a different metro apn. Seems to be working fine for now. Will test more tomorrow.

Not one problem switching from wifi to 4g. It must have been a bad apn setting. Thanks guys.

[Q] When I turn wifi off, Note does not connect to 3G or HSDPA

Hi guys,
I have this strange problem, it even seems random.
After I turn wifi off, my Note does not connect to 3g anymore.
And I have to reboot the phone to get it working again.
Does anyone experience the same problem, or knows a sollution?
I rooted KK1 and flashed LA4 using Mobile Odin.
Cheers,
Daan
I've had this problem once, but it worked again after a reboot. Haven't experienced it again. It happened on KK5, but i flashed LA4 yesterday, so it's too early to tell if it will happen again.
It also happened on my Desire HD with MIUI and also while running CM7, so it might turn out to be a bug in Android.
I guess you had turned/switched off data network mode by pressing and holding the turn off button for two seconds.
Try and turn it off and see if it is the same symptom that you had before.

No, this is not the issue.
I manually set the APN settings for Telfort, removing MMS and setting it up for "internet" only.
Did a wifi on/off cycle, with a short interval and it seems to work.
Going to test with a longer interval. Not completely convinced yet.
Hope it's fixed.
---------------
edit: Not fixed!
On wifi for half an hour, turned it off and [email protected]#$% 3g does not connect anymore.
Maybe it's just Telfort. They don't have the Note listed on their website, but still.
My infuse 4g does this. I have to put it in airplane mode then back to get my data to reconnect. It did this stock and on serindipity 7. I couldn't find a fix either.

Annoying stuff! Cycling airplane mode does not work for me, only a full reboot.
But if you had the problem too, It could be that it's the network's (in my case Telfort's) problem.
Maybe I have to get my sim replaced, but I'm switching to T-Mobile in about a month.
So it's a bit of a pain.
I am currently using the infuse on o2 in Germany, but it did it on att in the states also. I can't wait to get my note. I am just waiting for it to be released on o2 over here. They have the black but I really want a white one.

Telfort used to be O2, it has been using KPN's network for a while now.
So it's probably not connected. Though it is a strange coincidence.
I'm off today, I think I'll walk by the Telfort store to ask for a new sim or something.
Maybe they'll have to flip a switch somewhere.

Yeah you're right, I have to troubleshoot properly. But it's such a pain
And I think I recall having this problem a few roms back as well.
I'm not sure because I was on wifi all the time.
But I have to wipe, I'll use titanium backup so it won't be such a hard blow
Man I'm going to pissed if it turns out to be the network

Thats a pain i was so tired of formating,..reformatting....coz many custom firmware have some error and new updates keep coming almost daily...and all ask to wipe for best experience..dat was when i finally decided to come bk to stock and stick to it...
yeah it doesnt hav those fancy colors and throbbing speed which a custom rom boosts about but...but hey everythin works flawlessly and i dnt have any tension of random reboots and alarm not ringing..or any smartphone related error to comeup...plus all my apps and schedule is there forever no reinstalling tension....enjoying my phone....
Okay, so I I did a full wipe and installed a deodexed rooted LA4.
I still have this issue.
Also tested on KK1 stock and still experienced this issue.
If it does this on KK1 and LA4 it's reason enough for me to believe it's the network.
I'll just wait for my T-Mobile plan to start. Meh.
edit: It seems to work just fine on CM9 :-/

Wi-Fi dropping constantly

Hi Everyone,
As title says, a few weeks ago I noticed that my wifi keeps dropping no matter what I do.. this being as i surf and not in sleep mode or anything like that.
How did it start?
when it happened this is what i did, went to GB rooted rom, flashed up to JB room paranoid android, all worked fine except i noticed wifi kept dropping, tried another jb rom ,same thing, tried ics kingdroid rom, same thing. So then I decided to go back to original official stuff GB, same thing.. wifi dropping, went to official ICS, still wifi keep dropping.
What I have done to try to fix it:
Tried different roms, networks, all settings in Wifi settings. Googled like 3 days straight, mostly this seems to be a galaxy s3 problem not a galaxy note problem. A few people said they solved it by giving it a static ip which wouldnt work for me as im on like 3 different networks, and by changing sleep settings to make sure it doesnt shut off during sleep mode, which i honeslty have no problem with. Someone solved it by switching rom, nothing i find applies to me..
So what do I do??
I would honestly appriciate any suggestion, this is a great community so I got high hopes Sorry if my question has been answered before but I dont belive so, i posted in noob thread any noone had suggestion so I hope I dont do anything wrong with this post.. cheers :victory:

What's your modem? Go to settings > about> baseband
thanks for the reply it's n7000xxlrk , it's it suppose to be that?

The operation of Wi-Fi is a core responsibility. Try changing the kernel. Modem is responsible for the connection to GSM. If you change the kernel does not help, you probably have a broken phone.

well i have weak wi fi signal.. Most of the modems don't work for me.. Ddlp4 is the one i use..and no the kernel has nothing to do with wifi signal strength
Check your router and see if WPA Wireless network encryption is set to AES, if it is, change it to TKIP., see if you can connect after.
Usually it's nothing to do with the ROM, modem, kernel, android or even the phone itself, it might be your router setting that needs a change.
Know it was long since I made this thread but I wanted to report result, it was as above poster said. Rouer settings, finally found compatible ones after sooo manny roms, modems and other fixes were attempted.

First restart your router and also assured that your internet is in working state.
and if it is phone prob then try some app from market like wifi fix, etc.
And last thing you could try is flashing the rom again.

This is a common prolem in new experience...it's the main reason why i switched to another rom. The problem is not in your router. It's in ROM's kernel.
A possible fix is to connect to desired wifi connection then restart your phone, it should connect automaticlly. And you have to do this every time you connect to a wifi apn...
You can try flashing another kernel.

Thank you so much for your answer....ok i will try what you say...thank so much again
I'm using New experience too.. i don't have that problem.. I used to face similar issue when i was in stock.. wifi kept getting disconnected.. i read somewhere that the router settings was not appropriate for few phones.. didn't make sense at first.. went ahead and changed the "Lease time" settings under "LAN settings" in the router page to "two weeks" from "forever" (not necessarily "two weeks".. any option except "forever" will do) . Never had that issue again..

Losing mobile signal frequently

I have an issue where I lose mobile signal every few minutes. If I use Llama and check the "recent" tab I can see Cell: -1:-1:-1 every 10 mins or so and if I'm using the phone the signal will go to nothing, then within a few seconds go back up. Has anybody else seen this issue? I've done a factory reset and it didn't help. I'm waiting to hear back from Sony support, but they're been pretty useless for me in the past.
My signals dropsout all the Time

I encountered the same problem on my xperia l.
You could try taking the battery out the phone when it is switched on "hard reset" ,then take out the sim card and reboot, then switch off, put sim card back in and reboot, it may take a couple of minutes, it's worked for some, Me included
Another thing You could try is putting Your phone into GSM mode from settings but this means You need to keep changing modes when data roaming

Whilst we appreciate the sentiment please take a look at the forum your posting your advice in. The Xperia Z1 does not have a removable battery and the term 'switched on ''hard reset'' ' makes no sense unless you mean using the red button in place of a battery pull.
Not trying to be rude but its frustrating when your device drops signal and the best advice you get is regarding completely different hardware.
To Chrisduffer: Have you rooted your device/unlocked the bootloader or flashed another ROM? If so perhaps consider an alternative Kernel or a software update via the flashtool if its still using the stock kernel?
same problem. No root / no flash. Stock 4.3. Same issue even before update to 4.3.
Any idea what to do? My signal drops down every day like 5-6 times for about 20-30 seconds with no reason. I'm also not able to connect to 3G (at least phone is not showing 3g sign next to the signal strenght).
Hmm...this is interesting because actually I saw this up and down on mine too but I was able to call and receive calls anyway...so I newer bother if is an issue or not...but I losing the internet connection frequently so what's wrong?
Instresting...mine too...stock 4.2.2 rooted, Lb....but when my signal totally drops I am able to call or text!

Sounds almost like the modem driver is crashing and then restarting. Factory default is what I would try first, unless this is happening in places where you have weak signal or are in an enviroment which would cause weak signal (inside, thick walls, metal, etc.).

Hypothetically.
Had a few issues myself with the same stuff. Try another radio via flash tool. Just deselect everything else and just flash baseband, no wipe. Be careful when flashing stuff.

Yes, alternative radio driver should help, if it's not HW issue.
I will try to give the phone on a warranty check ... hopefully they will be able to tell me what's wrong ..
if not, I'll go your way = flashing different ROM with different radio.

thank you for the answer which rom could i install? now i have the rom for italy (IT) that i found here... but i had this problem also with the completely stock device so could it probably be an hardware issue?
You think you have signal issues?
Almost forgot, I had a phone come in once and it had the same issue, ended up only recognising the sim card every now and again, you could try another sim, or even send it back for repair which is what happened with the phone that was brought to me.

so i'm going to send it to warranty, i hope it is an hardware problem otherwise i'll have to sell it, i can't stay witheout signal as soon as i hold it on my hand
losing data signal
I am having the same issue
Any idea?
Should return the phone?
I sent the phone to the warranty, I have also the results of the tests and they are all passed... So I really don't know how to do... If I find a nexus 5 i'll try to change this xperia for that, I can't stay whiteout signal when my old iPhone 4s receive it very well

Slow Wifi when using certain custom ROMS

Hello everyone, I'm having a weird problem which has been happening for quite a while now, basically stock ROM using speed-test app 20-30Mb/s download speed AWESOME
Now when using custom ROMS (So far Cyanogenmod and Viperone) my download speed is limited to 2Mb/s youtube stutters, pages load slow etc pretty much a pain since its a smart phone that uses a lot of internet, now it gets weirder, no matter what my download is locked to my upload speed always stays a nice healthy 10Mb/s, even weirder still is if I reboot the phone for the first 3-4 minutes of being back on download speed is back to normal (20-30Mb/s)
Even weirder still is when using Android Revolution HD (ARHD) my WiFi still works perfectly, so what ever ARHD and the stock from have in common my WiFi must agree with it! As far as troubleshooting I've done clean installs, I've even made my router run only in 2.4GHz
Someone please help I don't wanna be stuck on one custom ROM when there is so many to try
please provide some more details
which Android?
have you tried updating your firmware?
I always make sure I have the newest, happened with 4.2/4.3/4.4 base firmwares
have you tried unchecking "WiFi Optimization" in WiFi?

Sorry to dig up this old thread, but I am experiencing similar issues, albeit with a different device (OnePlus 3).
Only the stock Oxygen Rom gives good Wifi tethering performance, but trying Cyanogenmod, Bliss, etc. all give the same 1-2Mbps speeds like you described.
Did you ever figure out the issue?
Are (were) you on T-Mobile US by chance?
TIA.
