I have no idea if this is normal or not, so i have to ask.
When switching on the 'Display network speed' to see the speed it looks like the wifi is working all the time. I tried to deactivate the apps that was running (snapchat, messenger and so on) but it still downloading. It shows speeds from 70B/s to 150B/s. Even when lockscreen is turned on its working. Speeds going from 140B/s to 300B/s.
Doesnt this affect the batterylife if wifi is constantly working?
Can you give me my huawey p9+ mead by China version 5.1 update and apps adres?

Heyho,
I'm using FroyoBread & GingerDX for 2 month now i guess, but im encountering 1 problem in both roms (and all versions):
I can't use/connect to ICQ, Xfire, the market and google talk, if HSDPA is enabled (its not working on 2G too)...
When im opening the market im getting a timeout... the other apps i mentioned aboved aren't working too.
But when im enabling wifi its working fine.
I already tried several apk's and i already did many full wipes and so on.
Is there any way to fix it?
No solution? ;/
what is your carrier and did you test your data connection work??
My carrier is Base Germany -> its related to Eplus...
The date connection is working fine, i got a full 3G connection and i can open every website... but as i already mentioned the apps are not working.
But when i enable wifi the apps are working fine and i can connect to the market/icq/google talk...
That bug is kinda strange.
Edit: 2G seems to be buggy, i clicked on only 2 G networks and after 10 seconds he is loosing the 2G signal... after another 10 seconds its active again.
But 3G is working (i can open any website i want to) fine (except that i cant use any app with internet access).
The provider signal is really fine, so thats not the problem.
Is there an app that can not only switch off my data but also switch to 2G while i am connected to wifi or my screen is turned off (i have better 2g signal in my area)?
the ideal app should be able to switch between these settings
screen off
2G, data on at xx min intervals (for sync,similar to 2x battery), no wifi.
screen on but locked : as above
screen on unlocked
search wifi - if available connect and keep 2G. If not available, switch wifi off, turn on 3G+data.
Well... yes:

But you need a modified rom for that. Either you modify it yoursef (see thread) or use a pre-modified one. Some people say, it's quite good, some say it makes the phone a bit instable.
I used it myself with a gueste ROM and was satified with the funktions. It really worked. But I had some problems with wifi then. Well, you could give it a try.
Cheers
Thanks for the thread.
At first glance the CM6 people seem to have problems. I am running CM7 temasek KANG 204-20 with vadonka's kernel. I'll download the zip and try it via CWM. Will report back
i think the mobile network settings get ignored when wifi is enabled, whe i have it disabled and use 2g only i always have max connection but when wifi is enabled or 3g network i have very low connection when it changes to 3g wcdma...
i searched for an app to display the status of whe network and tried hidden menu but it seema its not getting updates while wifi is enabled:/
anyone experiencing similar behaviors?
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
so. after some hours testing i can say that it works for me. i use it in conjunction with battery 2x.
when my screen is off toggle2g switches to 2G network and 2x battery enables data every 15min for sync.
when the screen is on battery 2x re-enables data but it remains in 2g network thanks to toggle2g (i have selected the option to manually re-enable 3g)
when i turn my wifi on toggle2g switches to 2g network (although it takes some time.. like 10-15s)
so.. these 2 apps seem to do the trick for me. Lost 9% over the night (still don't know if it's good or bad) and used to lose about 20%.
So, I'm on my WiFi at home and it works fine except when I'm on Facebook app, it would not refresh. However, when I switch from WiFi to my LTE data on T-Mobile, it refreshes.
A few other apps has slow loading problems when on wifi but works after a while. I can browse chrome perfectly with full speed.
I have a feeling it may be my router or some "ipv6" issue.
Anyone have any suggestions or solutions?
(Cross posting from the main M9 forum, mostly because I'm not sure if my problems are related to the TMO specific version. If this isn't appropriate, I'll remove it)
So this is weird. My wife and I just picked up two brand new M9's from T-Mobile this afternoon.
We're able to connect to the wifi with our new phones without any trouble, but the wifi is sporadically slow. SpeedTest shows download speeds around 14.21 Mbps from the phone, but 64Mbps from my laptop for SpeedTest. Google services seem to go really slow:
Google Play application icons are slow to load
Google Now's initial setup hangs at a blue circle loading with gray background
Google Music takes a good 5 minutes of buffering to start playing a song
Browsing to google.com periodically times out in Chrome: "Google CHrome could not load the webpage because www.google.com took too long to respond."
I'm also noticing that despite connecting to wifi, there's still the 4G icon in the status bar - with my old M7, if you connected to Wifi, the 4G/2G indicator disappeared. Is this behavior normal for Sense 7?
EDIT: I've tried the following, and things seem like they may be a little better. I'm not sure which is the potential fix though:
Disable Power saver mode
Disable WiFi optimization
I grabbed a spare WiFi AP that is dual band, 5GHz seemed to go faster, but I'm not sure if that's because it's inherently faster than 2.4GHz
EDIT EDIT: Just kidding. Still having issues. It almost seems like certain services are having issues. I could get to google on Wi-Fi and twitter would update, but Gmail, facebook, instagram, and hangouts wouldn't work.
Disconnecting from Wifi (and reverting to cellular data) "fixes" the issue.
"I'm also noticing that despite connecting to wifi, there's still the 4G icon in the status bar - with my old M7, if you connected to Wifi, the 4G/2G indicator disappeared. Is this behavior normal for Sense 7?"
It's normal because the M9 can transition from a wifi call directly to a VoLTE call. The M7 didn't have VoLTE. So unlike the M7 and M8, when you enable wifi calling, the cell radio does not shut off.
As for your speedtest results, was your laptop also running on wifi? When you compared with your phone, was it in the same area as the laptop so that the distance to the router would be about the same? And if you have a dual band router, was the phone connected to the same band as the laptop?
Good to know about the wifi call transition - that was one thing that kind of sucked about the M7. WIth regards to speed, both the laptop and the phones were running on wifi, on the same band, around the same area.

With my M9, I get 60 down on the 5GHz wifi band. That's the speed of my Verizon FIOS download on the computer as well.
also having this problem, i made a thread about it a while back but got no response. provided log cats too.

I have this strange issue that has been with me almost since the beginning. I haven't been able to trace when it happens, but it now seems almost 100% of the time.
I only have WiFi in the house (wifi6, if it matters). If I go out, I only have 4G (I left only 4G and disabled 5G). I have no data until I put the phone into airplane mode and back, or I disable and re-enable mobile data.
Same thing when I go back in the house: no data until I disable and re-enable WiFi.
I've disabled the option for 'always-on mobile data' or similar, it's quite a battery drain if there's no cell signal.
Seems like a very strange bug, I don't have this with any of my other phones.
So you have both WiFi and 4G enabled and they don't switch seamlessly?
Exactly. I always have to restart each one of them, usually by toggling airplane mode. Was wondering if anyone else ran into this issue.
Ok this really is strange. There are 2(!) different toggles to enable data switching between WiFi and 4G, but for me it works flawlessly without them! As soon as I get out of my home WiFi range, 4G kicks in, and when I get in range again, the phone connects to my WiFi...
Hi, i have this problem too but it's not always.
I have a wifi 6 router too.
I also have problems switching from wifi to 4g. Need to toggle airplane mode on/off. 5g deactivated. No wifi 6 here.
I always assumed my vpn is causing problems during the switch to 4g. But hearing others have the same problem i would assume its zenfone problem.
I never had any issues in this area with my ZF8. With the option to have cellular always on I could walk out of my WiFi zone during a video call and no drop or short pause would appear.
With this off the network need a few second to work, and some apps need to be refreshed/restarted to gain connection. Never needed to toggle connection for this to work.
Maybe a reset would be enough or check for updates.
Ah, exactly! It does not necesarily need a network restart, but some apps just lose connection for a while, which can be from a few seconds to >1h. Which is even more weird as the icons are showing full connectivity. I would go out of the house, do stuff, come back later and I would only get the notifications when I'm back inside the house.
Rarely I had the connection drop completely (no signal) when switching, but I haven't noticed this happening since the last update.
