My Razr connects very quickly to my wifi at home and works speedily but with 30 seconds - 2 minutes all data transfer stops. I still have a signal and the bars are blue but I receive a failure to load and can't get any data to work until I cycle wifi on off or go back to the network. Any ideas on a router setting or something I can do to fix this? Every other device I have connected works flawlessly.

This seems to be a problem with android itself. Wifi never automatically connects to saved networks when in range.
I have to use an app called wifi fixer to monitor my wifi connection- it connects to a wifi network that I have saved when it is in range.
Below were my original questions I posted in the general section by mistake. After a lot of searching I found the folder organizer app can create short cuts to folder or categories for apps. So I can have a short cut in the launcher that goes to all my games, or utilities.
I haven't figured out how to make the cell radio being turned of be persistent. So I just have my device set to airplane mode- but when I reboot it I have to turn the wifi back on.

1. I'm on StreakDroid 1.6.0 and everything is gravy cept for WIFI not connecting automatically. That seems to be a problem with Android itself. For me it is a problem because I'm not using a dataplan because I get free wifi through my cable co. I'm using csipsimple with my old gizmo5 account that I bought with my n810.
2. Does any launcher do app draws? I'm using Launcher pro and it would be nice if I could put a folder in the dock to store all my games.
3. Anyone know if I can use 2 bluetooth controllers with this on emulators? I'm still waiting on my Datel classic wiimote but it would be awesome if I could use two controllers.
4. How do I remove the No Sim card message? I use this as a wifi device and I had it set to airplane mode for a while but then I found the app "any cut" and made a short cut to turn off the cell radio. Apparently if I have it set to airplane mode it turns off wifi by default- and I thought that was the reason why wifi doesn't connect automatically but I still have to manually initialize wifi. I have wifi set to never sleep btw*
5. Turning off the cell radio isn't a persistent setting it seems. Does the cell radio still use battery power if there's no sim card in the device?

Streak WIFI Issues
I am having the same problem. Running 2.2 with 318 baseband. Phone can find wifi but will not stay connected. Phone goes into an endless cycle of connecting and immediately disconnecting. I am able to get WIFI to work by putting the phone into airplane mode. Anyone have a fix??
Are you using the stock rom or dj_steve's? I've heard of people getting disconnected from wifi if the signal is weak. There's a way to turn of data on 3g under wireless settings. I believe that would prevent it from switching between 3g and wifi connections.
I don't really have this problem though. Once it connects to one of my saved networks it stays connected. It's just that android doesn't do this automatically when a saved network is in range.
WIFI Issues
I'm on stock rom. WIFI signal doesnt seem to be in the issue as I have been within 5 feet of the router and had the issue happen. I'm reluctant to turn 3G off as I need it on to make and receive calls in my house via Microcell.
You probably have to change that setting under wifi that puts the wifi radio to sleep when the screen turns off. I have mine set to never.
You may also want to run wifi fixer- which will automatically reconnect you when you get disconnected.
I'm going to try this:

Try rebooting your wireless router. I have 2 netgear wgr614's. One at home, the other at work. After several connect/disconnects, it goes in the connecting/disconnecting loop until I reboot the router. Go figure...
What I did that seems to have worked is to set up a static IP address instead of having the router assign it for me (DNS). Since then my Wifi connects every time. I could be wrong but it seems to have worked for me.

I'm a dumba... You're correct. DHCP

You mean DHCP not DNS. Mine always connects when tuurning wifi on but if left on and my streaks sleeps for an extended amount of time it will not connect till I turn wiring off then back on. I also have wifi sleep policy set to never. Had that issue with nexus one as well.

Whenever I'm on WiFi I also have the 4g on display. Is this normal? I'm on stock.
No, it's not. When WiFi is on, you should be getting your data exclusively via WiFi so data over cell signal is stopped and the 4g symbol disappears. Are you sure you are connected to a WiFi network?

Yes I am 100% sure.
Same happens to me at times. I just turn data on then off and it goes away.

Hey this happens to me too!
Very annoying!
Also what's up with the phone switching back my preffered net work every time I reboot? I tik off "cdma only", but after reboot the phone puts it back to gsm/cdma...Grrrr
But yeah sometimes I have to turn off the data ( "connect to internet via phone") or it will intermittently switch between data and wifi

to whoever has that issue, do you use a data counter? just to verify where your data is going through
Happens on all my Androids. Not sure where my data is going through when they are both up in the Status bar. I don't ever hit my cap, so I am fine with it, but it is annoying.

Well, this is my second android phone and I haven't come across this issue before.
I would suggest that you check that your software is up to date. If it is, then power off the phone and pull out the battery, wait a minute then reinstall and power up. If that doesn't fix it, then I would factory reset it, but that's always a pain. If none of my suggestions fix it, then I'm at a loss.

This is because of "My Account" app by tmobile. It runs in the background and uses mobile network for connection to tmo servers (even if you have wifi turned on). Whenever you see mobile network turned on, just goto running applications and stop My Account and 4g/3g icon should go away. Its not just this phone, this would happen on any android device with my account app.
I have 2 razr maxx's that are both rooted with the stock rom just to use teh wifi tethering app.
With mine, it works beautifully, no issues on both 3g and 4g.
On my father's, he is having issues with it dropping. He can tether just fine but randomly, whether it be 5 minutes or sometimes every hour, he gets a message saying "connected with limited access" with a yellow triangle on his task bar. All he has to do is shut off the tether and restart it and he is good to go for another 5 to 60 minutes before it does it again.
I've had him change the phone from CDMA/LTE to just CDMA to see if it was a 3g/4g issue and it does it on both.
Any ideas? Software is up to date and it has all stock apps (no additional apps except wifi tether) which I loaded via the apk file transfer.
We are both using the beta 11 version of wifi tether.
Thanks for any help.
Re: Wifi and 3G Problems
This issue is about to drive me up a freaking wall.
When I'm connected to Wifi at my house and I leave and get out of wifi range my phone doesn't connect to mobile network. I have to reboot it every single time to connect to 3g.
I've called Sprint several times about this and they just walk me through the process check.
Is anybody else having this problem? If so do you know of a fix? Thanks

Mome connects after a minute at the most. Try putting into airplane mode and back. Also just for fun try updating prl

I'm having the same problem. Leave the house and phone still shows I'm connected to the WiFi. I turn WiFi off and get the 3G symbol, but apps are report that there is no data connection. Need to reboot to get 3G to work. Toggling Airplane mode doesn't fix connection.
My wifi signal fades when trying to connect and then disconnects. Full signal bars will show and when says "obtaining ip" the signal goes all the way down then disconnects and its a loop. Just continues to do this over and over. Never had wifi problems before.
Solutions?

That happens to me on every stock- based ics 3.6 Rom I've tried, including stock. Only roms that fix it for me is nightmare sense & speed Rom (because they're based on sense 4)

I don't know about a solution, but mine does this when I don't have a strong signal. It says I have a good signal, but I know I don't cuz I'm kinda far away. If I go within range it'll connect, and then I can go back where I was and it'll normally stay connected.
