internet connection failing

My hero seems like it should be headed for the trash. Over the past few days I have been noticing problems getting my gmail to sync, browsing the internet and looking up things in the marketplace. I am running stock 1.5 that was rooted. That is it. I have tried going to setting and updating profile then rebooting but doesnt seem to have solved the problem. I also just tried flashing cyanogenmod 6.1.0 release and I was unable to sign into my google account at startup??
The phone does show an internet connection. Opera browser doesnt appear to be having any issues, but any other app does... any advise would be great!

I'm having the exact same problem. I have no idea what to do, I've tried everything for 4 hours now. My internet is so sketchy. Everything from google maps losing connection, to facebook, to a weather widget I have not even getting the weather. Its insane

i'll take the phone to a dumb sprint rep if needed, but what about if they see FLIPZ_PRI and stuff on the phone because it has been rooted? There has to be something here to fix the problem?

If you figure it out let us all know because i am having the same problem. I have done just about everything i can think of. From reflashing roms to 5 different kernals and even different roms nothing helps.
Good luck

well if a lot of people are having the same problem doesnt that seem to sound like a sprint issue??? i have no idea what updating prls and profiles due, but something isnt right.

Been having similar issues myself. From what I've been reading it's a Google server issue which is why you can still browse the web etc... but still like the market isn't working correctly.
Don't take my word for it though...

Internet problems
I've had the same issue on and off all day. I first noticed youtube not working, then facebook and then voice. YouTube wasn't working for a few hours, facebook a few minutes and voice just got working again; all my problems started sometime this morning 10ish.
I'm running Cyanogenmod 6.1.0, 2.42.01.04.27 Baseband, 60670PRL and my kernel is Decad3nc #11

Sprint is currently havng 3G issues, Chicago looks to be fixed (maybe)

as of the last 30 minutes to an hour, all is right with the market and internet on my phone... "YAAAYYY... and there was much rejoicing".... we'll see if it holds

It's a google problem, nothing to do with the phone or the rom

Yeah, Chicago was fixed today. Yesterday I couldn't use Navigation because there wasn't a connection being made to Google's navigation servers.

Yeah, they're systematically fixing it, but it's taking awhile

Slow data over wifi

So guys, I've just bought a nexus 6 last week, and I'm experiencing some strange issues with the WiFi.
Loading content is really slow, things like loading app list on google play, new videos from my subscriptions on YouTube or even a search on google using chrome can take minutes (not exaggerating here, on stopwatch to load the information and pictures of an app on play store the phone took more than 2 minutes).
And some notifications they don't come right away, (new emails, WhatsApp,etc...)
Although the internet where I live now is not the best and the modem/router is a single channel fritzbox, it's fast enough for a simple WhatsApp message to come through.
What I ruled out is:
Provider blocking ports used by google services < contacted the support and no ports are blocked, and things work fine with my mate 7 running kit Kat
Provider slowing down access to google < nope, it's illegal here and again my mate 7 works fine
Interference by other WiFi networks < I'm in a WiFi crowded place now, but my router is the only one on channel 13, tried other channels and no luck either, and again all other WiFi devices work fine here.
My nexus 9 shows the same symptom but not always.. So I assume it's a lollipop thing... Someome has some tips of things that I should try? Thanks a lot

Have you run a speedtest by chance?

Yes, and some times it never finishes it when trying the upload test, download speed is okay with 9Mbps but upload test stays in 0... Ping is not consistent between 23ms up to 83...
Will post a screenshot with a new test as soon as my PC is finished downloading updates .

Could you try running a speedtest on the nexus 6 and the. On the mate 7? This will help narrow things down a bit.

I'd say it's most likely a router issue. On my 100 Mbit/s broadband I just clocked 111 Mbit/s over Wi-Fi. In other words, the N6 is more than capable...

WiFi loading issue

So I have looked around a little and haven't found much yet. When I turn on Wi-Fi, things only load about 70 percent then get stuck like nothing will ever finish on Wi-Fi. Sometimes Facebook will just spin forever. I am rooted with ping pong root and a stock rom with very light bebloating (only obvious stuff). Any one experience this?

Found the wifi fix finnaly. Legit!
HEY GUYS I HAVE FINNALY FOUND THE REAL FIX TO THIS PROBLEM. New to this FORUM btw, but I read it alot. I have the s6 Edge on Verizon and even though I'm showing full wifi signal and so was my wife's s5(she's on att&t) neither of us could barely get a page to load. I've done everything. Set manual channels. Disabled everything you can think of that might cause it on the phone. Disabled ipv6 in the router settings. Factory reset. Cache clean. Anything you can think of I've done it. Even tried to manually change the DNS to Google or something else. That didn't work but DNS IS THE PROBLEM. There's a problem with lollipop and DNS. And they are probably going to send an update eventually to fix it but I wasn't about to wait and I know my wife's s5 wouldn't get it.
So I was ready to return it. Anyway out if nowhere I found THE SOLUTION AND THE APP THAT FIXES IT IMMEDIATELY TODAY. Go to the to the play store and download DNS SET. Forget your connection and re enter your WiFi password. Then open the DNSet app and check off auto run. Then hit the run button. INSTANT FIX! I SWEAR TO GOD. You have no idea how happy I was to see this work. I stopped a it and reopened it many times to see if it would always work and it does. Instant loads. Super fast speed. Christ I was outside of my house and even there everything was loading instantly like it should. YouTube instantaneous. Anything. It fixes the problem. Believe me I went through this and it works and it takes 5 mins to do it at most. It's was a life savor. Don't return your phone or get frustrated and say screw it. This works and I couldn't wait to frigging share it with everyone because I know how can frustrating it is. I was about to return my s6 edge today. Swear to God. The only thing it didn't work in was my friends s5 today on sprint and I don't know why. Something to do with sprint maybe. But it definitely works with verizon and attt.
JUST A HEADS UP, I did leave the ipV6 disabled on my router and I still have WiFi direct disabled on my phone because I was afraid to change anything after this worked. Might have nothing to do with it but if for some crazy reason this app doesn't work, disable that and it will be fine. All my other settings on the router are normal. Auto channel and AES/TPIK are still on. Anyway This works and I was happy to help so I posted. Let me know of it works u for you guys. And spread the word so people aren't dealing with this ****. It's not right. Let me know how you make out. Take care

39A issues with exchange

I recently went back to stock after Verizon released their 39A update. So far I love it, and they've seemed to fix a lot of what I didn't like about their Kit Kat ROM (mainly the UI design). However, there is something that I've been experiencing that I wanted to share with anyone else on 39A, and see if anyone else has experienced it.
From what I can gather, as soon as I add my work email to my phone, which is an Exchange account, the phone seems to slow to a crawl when it comes to anything to do with data. Browsing the web, downloading stuff from the Play Store, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr... anything that uses either wifi or LTE takes forever to load. The odd thing is that it almost seems like something is halting the data from coming through, and then releases it after a minute or so, and then things download super fast.
After much frustration and testing, I finally saw a pattern. It slowed down almost immediately after I added the Exchange account. Not having my work email on my phone is not an option as I am a IT Help Desk Technician who travels to different locations and need access to my email when not on my laptop or desktop computer.
Eventually, I decided I'd try and see what would happen if I switched the update schedule from Push to Fetch. Voila. Now my phone's fast again. Having my Gmail account set to push doesn't cause any problems. Only my Exchange account.
All that to say, I was wondering if anyone else has had this particular experience, and if so, whether or not they have found a solution or workaround other than the one I found. I concede that this could also have something to do with how my work's Exchange server is set up, or what version of Exchange Server we're running, but this never happened before 39A. Never happened on Stock or any of the other ROMs I've run (CM, Mahdi, etc.), both KitKat and Lollipop.

Hi,
I just upgraded to 39a (xdaddeb version) and I don't have that issue. Did tried with pure stock?

Glad you problem solved the issue. You could also boot the phone into Safe Mode. I was running 5.0.2 and didn't have the problem using 39A with exchange.

So I've meant to update this thread, but I found out that it actually isn't exchange causing the issue. I went a few days without having an exchange account on my computer and it eventually slowed down again same as before. At one point I was playing around with some settings and noticed that my cellular data was set to Global instead of LTE, and when I changed it, it sped up again. Then, a few days later, it slowed down again.
It's a peculiar slowness too; it's as though something is hanging the download for about 20 seconds, and then everything downloads at once. One example is if I "cold" launch Play Store, all the images will be blank for about 10-20 seconds, and then they'll all come in at once. Whenever I am running a custom ROM, in this case Cyanogenmod 12, everything loads almost instantly.
Any time I go back to stock, I use the KDZ method. I have not tried a debloated version of 39A, and at this point I'm burnt out on trying to get stock 39A to work properly. It's so annoying to try and show someone an instagram photo I've taken, only for it to take 20 seconds just to load my gallery.
Update (6/16/2015, 10:37am): So I'm trying xdabbeb's 39A debloated ROM, and so far so good. I've made sure my mobile data system setting is set to LTE and not global, and already it just feels faster and more lightweight than the stock ROM. Less RAM usage as well. I have yet to add an exchange account, and I typically start to experience the slowness once I'm on my home wifi, which I am not right now. I hope this works, I really like LG's lollipop ROM.
Update (6/16/2015, 5:34pm): Just got home and connected to my wireless access point, and still running like a champ. Looks like going debloated was the answer. Must be some bloatware app in the stock version that causes the issue. Not sure exactly what xdabbeb removes from the stock version for his debloated ROM, but kudos man.

Pixel 5 rebooting only with mobile data

Hi there,
in November last year I bought a brand new Google Pixel 5 and I gotta say that I'm quite happy with it, however there's been something quite annoying: sometimes it freezes and reboots itself when I'm using mobile data. I tried to figure out what was causing the issue and why it only happens when I'm using mobile data but I can't really find an answer. If I use WiFi, everything is fine, I can listen to the radio, watch videos on YouTube, have Teams calls, browse the web with Chrome etc, however if I try to do the very same things with mobile data in 4G (there's no 5G coverage in my area) it freezes and then reboots. It doesn't always happen, it seems to be happening randomly and I have no idea why. After rebooting, the app that crashed still has something in memory and if I try to open it without killing it first, it will immediately freeze the phone again and make it reboot again. It happened while I was watching videos on Facebook, it happened while I was watching videos on YouTube, it happened while I was browsing with Chrome, it happened during a Discord call, it happened during a telegram call, it happened while I was checking the NHS COVID-19 app... It can occur after few hours or several times an hour and I don't know what's causing it. Android is a Linux like OS, is there a way to check the journal and see what's happening? And on top of that, is there a way to let Google know and make Android automatically report crashes? The phone is still new, it's not rooted and I've only unlocked the developers options to force the refresh rate to 90Hz but that's it. I reached out to Google and they offered to replace the phone as soon as I send it (RMA) however I would like to find out first whether it's really an hardware problem or if it's Android 11 being unstable. I do have all the OS updates and all the apps are updated. What do you think? Oh last but not least, the SIM ain't an eSIM, it's a physical SIM placed inside the phone.
thank you in advance,
Frank

Have you tried resetting your network in settings? Were you using this same SIM in your old phone with no issues, or was it new? Have you tried to replicate the issue in safe mode to rule out an errant app? If resetting network doesn't work, just back up your data and factory reset the phone. Google may have suggested this already. It's pretty much their automatic response before RMA. Cheers.

Of course I tried to reset my phone and start from scratch but it didn't help. As to the SIM, it has been working fine on my old phone for years so it's not the one causing the issue. Besides, if I disable mobile data but I still use the phone to call other people using the carrier network, it doesn't have any issues at all. As to safe mode, it happened with Chrome and YouTube, standard Google apps, so I can rule out third party apps altogether. It's really weird.

I made a few more tests and it seems to be related to GPU Hardware acceleration. I said that it happened on Facebook, YouTube and Chrome and I thought about the common factor: I was watching videos. It happened while I was on Facebook watching videos, it happened while I was on YouTube watching videos and it happened while I was on Chrome visiting a website which had an ad in which there was a video playing.
Oh and it also happened when I opened the camera 'cause... guess what? Video!
What puzzles me is that it only happens in 4G but not in WiFi and I can't think of any possible reason why it's only occurring with mobile data...

Ok after trying to understand what happened I was finally able to solve the issue and it wasn't an hardware fault nor it was related to video. It was me using IPSec Xauth PSK with Always on VPN turned on. It turns out that using a third party application to connect via Open VPN fixed the issue. It's now more than a week and I've never had a single reboot or freeze or crash. I have no idea why, but all I can say is "stay away from IPSec Xauth PSK" guys, there's something deeply broken there. Anyway, I'm glad everything turned out to be ok.
Cheers,
Frank
