Hi,
I have a rooted ATT note 3 running 4.3. Everything has been working fine for months. Beginning yesterday my note 3 has been unable to access wireless network location data. GPS works fine for google maps, tasker, etc. When I try to use net location, however, (eg tasker, androsensor, weather, etc.) I am asked to enable location services which are already enabled.
I worry that I may have deleted an important file or program using clean master or ES File.
Any suggestions as to how I should proceed? I would obviously prefer not to reset, reroot, and reinstall! :crying:
Thanks,
Sean
I had same problem, turns out I had frozen something called "fused location" unfreezing it fixed the issue. Hope this helps you or someone else

Hi,
Turning off the weather app and uninstalling apps that require location seems to help somewhat if you have early GPS issues. But it seems like the longer the location apps are active, the longer GPS chip is active trying to do computation for both maps andlocation applications it increase the likely hood of overheating the GPS chip and damaging itself. My note 1 had that exact problem, i didn't know about the locations apps and 1 year later the GPS quit working permenently. Now having similar issues with Note 3, but turning off location apps does help a lot.
I'm experiencing problems with Gmail and whatsapp: whenever I'm on my home wifi the push does not work. But more problematic, sometimes it does work. Next to that when I go into whatsapp after a day of no messages they all arrive at once.
So I'm able to receive messages and Internet works, but the push services doesn't work most of the time! I'm not on stamina mode or any other battery app (BTW battery of my z1 is worse than my sp).
Does anyone have an idea how to find out if there's a culprit or what settings I've messed up?

So nobody has a clue I gather?
To my look like the Auto-Sync is OFF so turn it ON. If is already ON probably Gmail and Whazzuppe is not in the list so you have to addict it manually + Add Account.

Thanks for thinking with me, though that is not the case! Sync is on and it works perfectly on other wifi networks.
I can report a more peculiar fact: pinging google.com with Fing results in 100% packet loss, though pinging for example tweakers.net gives me an average of 40msec. Strangely I can brows to www.google.com in Chrome... It seems as though there's something very wrong with my Z1 because pinging Google.com with my Xperia SP does work!
Any news on this?
I'm experiencing the exact same problem. It has been around for at least a couple of months on my Nexus 4.
Most of the times I don't receive any push notifications. I need to open the app manually, wait a couple of seconds, and then all the new messages come in.
Here is what I tried so far:
- Notification settings for each app
- Reinstalled complete OS
- Background data is allowed
- Wifi policy is "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" -> Always
- I don't have any battery savings or task killer apps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2599417
I also tried this, and now I only have the OS and Whatsapp installed. But the problem persists.
I have the same problems since KitKat.
Sometimes I have to open the app to become the messages.
I had this problem with 681, then I done a full wipe and installed the 757 rom.
But i also have this problem....
So as it turns out, the problem only exists in my wifi at home.
When I'm at the university everything works fine.
I also noticed that facebook and instagram are very slow on my phone at home.
And only the apps, not the websites.
(this also has been around for a couple of months)
Having the same issue with my HTC M8. Guess I just have to find out what settings are causing this on my router.
Edit: Fixed it. My VPN's DNS servers were blocking push. Changing them back to googles DNS brought push back.
Actually, I was also facing the problem. I tried to get it solved by uninstalling all the recently downloaded apps, but it didn't work for me. And I couldn't uninstall all the apps.
Then I got the idea that it may be because of some setting on my router. I don't know much about router settings. So, I finally installed the VPN App Opera Max and it worked. It was a big relief for me.

Max does not change DNS settings so in theory it shouldn't fix this issue. It's possible that your issue was unrelated to this one.
Hello,
My wife and I are both having similar issues with wifi after updating our phones to lillipop. We can connect to the wifi, but apps that require a login or apps that have an optional login are giving errors saying that there is no network (Network issues, no connection, etc.)
Apps that don't work with wifi: Bank apps, Amazon apps, Twitch, Feedly, Speedtest.net, etc.
Apps that do work on wifi: Chrome, YouTube, Drive, Mail apps, etc.
If we turn off the wifi, everything works fine. We both are running stock phones, I've got the HK M8, and she's got an older M7. There are times when a few of the apps will work for a few minutes, but then the issues come back. My wife's phone is also able to connect to our work wifi, when there, some of the apps that don't work at home will consistently work, but not all of them
We've both been told by HTC to do factory resets and to flash the latest stock RUU. The issue remains even after doing this. I don't really want to do the next step of sending in our phones for 7 to 10 days while they "repair" them.
I've tried everything I can think of. I've also factory reset our router and tried every wifi channel and/or security option, hoping that it is an issue with my wifi router.
Does anyone have any idea of what I can try before having to mail HTC my phone?
Thanks for any help.
Sounds exactly like the problem I had. Factory reseting the router took care of it for me though...

Hey there, i have been using an M8 for two months now and the problem that I have, which fits exactly the description of yours, is starting to annoying me. Every time I try to use these apps which need login I have to turn to mobile data to be able to do it. In my case, the issue that us affecting me the most, is with whatsapp, which even though I do can use, I cannot download media on wifi! (Neither pictures nor voice recordings).
It's a real pain in the neck to be doing this all the time, and I have two friends who also have m8s and are suffering from the same problems, so I guess it's something quite generic. Besides all the other android phones in my family work just fine with my router, so the problem is clearly mine. I think that HTC should have done something about it long time ago if it is such a common issue, considering that the price of the device is not cheap...
Anyway, my question is: have you been able to solve the problem? If you have, would you please take a min to share the solution? I would be deeply grateful!
Cheers and thanks in advance
I am using my HTC One M8 HK with lollipop update from the time they released and never had any problem with wifi. I use wifi wherever I go and no problem with anything. Try the following solutions:
1. Check the WiFi Router. Most of the times it is the problem with your router. Check if there is any restrictions or whitelist/blacklist of services.
2. You might be having some apps with whitelist/backlist running in the background. It could be your antivirus app, battery booster or Opera app, etc which does the wifi whitelist.
3. If you are using the sign-in wifi networks, make sure you signed in to the network using the browser window before opening the app.
4. If you are using the VPN (even in the wifi network) you won't be able to open the apps like Bank apps.
5. If the apps you installed are not supported in your country, you won't be able to access.
Try uninstalling and reinstalling the apps. Sometimes, when you upgrade to different OS partitions are not aligned properly. Reinstall and check.
Good luck
Hi community,
Seeking help here. I have never had any issues with regards to VPN connection on my note 9. I have subscription with CyberGhost VPN however I also have free versions of Thunder VPN and X-VPN.
The issue which occurred today that I cannot fix. I am able to connect using both the paid/free VPNs mentioned above, however once connected, my real IP is still transparent.
When I open the 'key lock' android system VPN management popup, I can see that no data is sent or received even though I have surfed web, watched videos etc. I used ipleak.net to confirm the when connected to VPN my IP transparent.
When I restart the device and connect vpn, it works normally i.e. ip not is transparent. But after some time it automatically becomes transparent again. Power saving is never on. I have to restart device again for VPN to work normally again, albeit a short time.
Anyone encountered similar issue and/or have any solution?
I am having the same issue as well, first everything worked fine and suddenly vpn is not working anymore although it says it is connected. I am using Cyberghost as well but tried other software with the same effect (connects normally but no data goes through the vpn connection)
Haven't found a solution up till now, it is very annoying.
Where did you buy your note 9?
Mine is Australian version from Optus. No solution so far. I contacted samsung and they told me to do factory reset.. haven't tried that yet. So annoying!
Hmm ok yes i saw that too as a probable solution when people with older Samsung devices had a problem like this but factory reset i only want to do as a last resort because it's going to be a haggle to set everything right again. If i do it and it works i will reply again.
My one was bought in Thailand by the way and model number is SM-N960F/DS
Same model as yours except not DS. It seems to be a software issue. Don't know what has triggered this. It was working just fine.
It must have been triggered by the latest software update because my nephew in the Netherlands has the same issue when he tried to use the vpn just now. It worked after rebooting the phone and then his connection dropped after 10 minutes and now his vpn connection isn't working anymore.
So three Note 9 phones all bought in a different country and region have the same issue, weird that this problem hasn't come up on forums more unless the cyberghost app broke our vpn capabilities..
Oh ok that is interesting. I tried other free vpns also with same result. But I was using cyberghost before this problem...
I really don't want to do factory reset.
Same issue in Canada
I am in Canada and I'm having the same issue. What I have found, is it if I download a DNS changer, and I change the DNS, once in awhile it starts working again. But this is completely unreliable.
This seems to have been an issue for a while and for a business marketed phone, it's quite perplexing that Samsung/Google have not dealt with this issue yet.
I got a temporary solution from cyberghost. It's requires setting up L2TP vpn connection. It's not as fast but it does the trick for now. I noticed from my searches this has been an issue since Samsung S8...hopeless!
Is this a Samsung problem or an Android problem? Samsung is telling me to send my Note 9 in for repair bit I am not convinced there is anything they can do. I have tried a factory reset but it was of no help.
I guess deleting all VPN profiles from device but very one will do a thing
Did the latest samsung update but still doesn't work. Any solutions?
The only solution that worked for me is to set up vpn manually.
Add a new device at Cyberghost account management and manually enter the pre-shared key, username and password given and choose ipsec protocol and on your device choose L2TP/IPSEC PSK.
Then you have to connect to the VPN there instead of the Cyberghost App and you will have full vpn functionality although slower than the app which is using OpenVPN or Ikev2 protocol but it's better then nothing.
I use OpenVPN for Android and under Advanced you need to set 'Use VPN for All apps except' and set route all traffic over VPN.
This did change somewhere in Oreo, it didn't used to be like this.
betternet vpn works a treat. no issues with transparency 48hrs after reboot.
PIA works without issues.
Hi,
I know there are a lot threads about this but still I think my problem a bit different or I couldn't yet find anything fix my problem.
So it is not so complicated I use my phone and usually after some time 3-10 days or so the wi-fi is not connecting anymore. It is just ignoring every single router and everything. Then I restart it and ok again. I don't use any super app no antivirus or firewall no vpn nothing. Messenger, viber, whatsapp... some very common app is running. Wi-fi + is off no difference anyway. Latest update. Unbranded device. So anybody any idea?
