Wi-Fi issue

So I will turn on wifi on my phone but for some reason it still shows the 3G bar and I get not signal at my house so when i try to load up webpages its clearly trying to use my non existent data signal rather than the wifi to load thing. why is it doing this? it's supposed to override the data but its not.

I would troubleshoot your network. The signal bars for cellular do not go away when connected to WiFi, so I would not suspect that is a symptom.

well i am aware of my router being complete crap but im not saying the cellular bars im saying even though wifi is enabled it still trying to use data instead of wifi.

How are you measuring that?
Check your IP address and see if you can verify from that.

All I know is that I've had wireless issues since day one with my turbo, in fact so bad that I just never use anymore (yea sucks)
I am at my inlaws, using my laptop to work all day on the wifi and connection is great. on my Turbo - the wifi keeps stopping, hiccupping, etc. I have to keep turning on/off, etc. to get stuff to work. I just gave up.
There are other threads on the Motorola Forum with similar issues.
Wish we could figure out what magic settings are necessary to make wifi stable.

[Q] [HELP] No network and no Wifi while phone is in sleep

I'm having a really strange problem on my Moto G 2nd Gen. (2014, Dual SIM, XT1068) with Lollipop 5.0.2.
When the phone hasn't been used for a while (approx. 30 minutes) I can't receive calls anymore. Every call goes straight to mailbox. When I press the power button there are exclamation marks beside the WiFi and both networks. A few seconds after "wakeup" everything is OK, WiFi and networks are working, full bars on everything.
For me it seems that the phone goes into some "extremely deep" sleep that it turns off all antennas (even though the battery is full!).
Did anybody experience something similar?
I mean what is the purpose of a mobile phone if I can't receive calls anymore??? This is sooo frustrating.

Are you using Stock or a Custom Rom? 4.4.4 or 5.0.2?

I'm using stock 5.0.2, but it's rooted (for the Sixaxis controller).

It would appear that your phone is entering in airplane mode automatically.
My suggestion, do a factory reset and test. That's what I would do.
You can check the battery stats to see if in fact all radios get turned off after 30 minutes of no use.

Hi,
nope, not airplane mode (the little airplane should be there in the notification bar, but it isn't).
Meanwhile I read up on the exclamation mark and (this was new information for me) it seems, that Lollipop puts an exclamation mark on the networks if I have data disabled (which is true) and there is no WiFi connection.
So, basically I misinterpreted the symbols. Now a rant follows: who the f*** thought that it is a good idea to put up an exclamation mark on the NETWORK meter when there is no data connection? Searching on Google this confused many people and left them scared thinking, that they have no network. Instead I see this just as a scare tactic to have people constantly online so every move they make can be followed. Sounds paranoid? Why yes, it is!

Its on the network meter because your data connection and your phone network connection are one and the same thing. Your data comes in from your network. They have always been the same icon on any android phone you have ever owned. the little flashing up and down arrows on your network meter means there is data currently being transferred, the little E 3G or H symbols on it tells you what speed of network you are connected to. The only difference is that now they have added a new symbol telling that you have no data connection. I don't see what the problem is here? If you weren't able to receive calls and your cell radio was switched off your network meter would have been empty, not full with an exclamation.
And by the way, they don't need you to have your data enabled to track you, they can do that with cell tower triangulation even if your phone is off

My problem is mainly with the exclamation mark, used as a symbol = it usually means something bad or that something is wrong. Turned off data is not bad or not wrong. It's simply off.
Android < 5 did it much better in my opinion. If data was not enabled it was simply off. No up/down arrows, no E, 3G, H or H+ ... and most of all: no exclamation mark to "scare" you into thinking that there is something wrong with your network. (I usually have data off on my Moto G, because my company pays for my mobile data on my Galaxy S4).

OK, I see where you are coming from, but I disagree. The very definition of an exclamation mark is to draw attention to something, whether it be good or bad. Smartphone functionality for the most part relies on some form of internet access, so if you have no internet access on the phone many of the device functions will not work. This is something that should probably be drawn attention to. I find the feature useful actually. Sometimes I turn my data off and forget to turn it back on when I need it and at least with the exclamation I can see straight away that it is off.

Wifi calling icon missing on phone screen

I ended up going back to stock and taking the updates. The lack of development for the Verizon S6E basically did me in. :crying: I activated the advanced calling and the wifi calling option and I took a call and noticed the icon in the top left of the phone screen. After that call, when I am connected to wifi and making a call the icon has disappeared. I have performed a cache wipe and did a factory reset to no avail. I also tried to toggle the wifi calling feature on and off and I still do not see the icon. Anyone with a similar issue or that can help? Thanks!

If I remember right, the WiFi calling will only work as needed. So I don't think it will always be on.
I may be wrong though.

Thanks, I was wondering whether it determines which route will result in better connectivity. If anyone else has an idea about this I'd be happy to hear!

Yeah it only uses wifi if you have very low signal and strong wifi, or no signal and wifi.

Thanks, I figured it is operational by just going to airplane mode and switching on wifi. Icon came back and calls successful over wifi. Much thanks.

Disconnecting WiFi

Hello,
I've used my Mi A2 around 2 weeks now and I'm really satisfied with the phone. However, I got some annoying issue about wifi. When the signal strength of wifi is not so strong (below -70 dbm), it tends to disconnect for around 10-20 sec and then reconnected again. This happened to me like 10 times since I got the phone. And wifi works perfectly without disconnections when the signal strength is strong enough.
Does anyone experience this issue? Or I got a defected device?
Thank you

Same here, sometimes it just disconnects ...

It is a normal stock android behavior, because android detects that signal of wi-fi is to low, and tries to switch automatically to GSM mobile data, or to another wi-fi if it is available in the area.

I don't have this happen but wifi signal is strong and also; gsm data is turned off.
That *may* help to turn that off possibly, as it obviously can't (now) switch to it?

Even if mobile network is off? Is there a way to change such behavior? I tried to find in the setting but what I just found is Aggressive WiFi to mobile handover, which was already turned off.

I think that it is called smart wifi, or wifi+ option in other types of android OS, and here it is just a automatic option in stock android i guess.
I don't mind it, because it will change my wifi router AP if it get stuck, and need an reboot, so it will automatically switch to another closest one that works.
You better think of some way to get a better signal then to turn off this function.
Try with aps like this on the link.

The thing is that wifi also disconnected when there's no other nearby networks to switch to. I did something to get better signal in my room but this still happened sometimes.

constantly looses internet connection only Aeroplan mode helps!!!

This is drives me nuts!!! Connection status showed as H+ and very often suddenly internet dissapears!!! And it's not going to work again before I switch all phone to Aeroplan mode and back!!!
Today I thow my phone at a wall Hoping to break it to have a reason to buy a new one without this problem.
Anyone else?

What mobile provider do you have, and does it happen in more than one location so it's not just an unstable transmitter in your neighborhood?
Skickat från min ONEPLUS A3003 via Tapatalk

Yes it happens when Im at home, probably with not so strong signal. What seems to be the the bug is that signal status in systembar shows that all is well with connection. But internet is absent. I use two sim, and it happens at all combinations of slots
Probably a solution to this will be a script that periodically check some online url and switch Aeroplan mode on/off if internet is absent.

Meaning what exactly? Just having the H+ symbol, or showing a bar or 2, does not mean much. I often will get a bar or reception showing on this phone when in remote locations, where there is no usable data signal. My wife's iPhone is the same way, shows that there is a phone and data signal, but no actual internet connection. The signal is present enough for the phone to see it, but not strong enough for any data to get through.
Go to phone Settings>About phone>Status>SIM status>Signal strength; and see what the actual dBM signal strength reads. This is much more reliable than any of the signal status indicators.

Thank you. Buut problem is that Android don't recognize that internet is lost before I switch to Aeroplan mode and back. I can wait for internet forever but as soon as I switched it connects immediately....

Really hate this piece if **** of a device!!!!!!!!

Do you still get this running on LineageOS 16? Can't say I've experienced this, running LOS and with keep mobile connection enable while on wifi-setting enabled in advanced development options menu.
Unless it's specific to your operator/mobile network. Have you checked your APN settings? Try deleting them and re-create from scratch.
