Okay I have been rooted for a day now and it seems that I am having some trouble staying connected to my mobile data. I did remove some bloat once I rooted but I don't think it has anything to do with that because when I am connected everything is fine. Is anyone else having this issue?

It's happened to me a few times but I think it's more of an LTE thing then an issue with the phone.

Hasn't happened to me.. but I'm also on another Rom though... Tsm 0.2.1... I recommend it... It takes away the dreaded 3 dot menu screen

I'm on stock and see it happen at home as I get near the edge of Wi-fi range. The phone seems to continuously switch from mobile data to wi-fi, causing a lot of stutters when I'm streaming. I also had to switch to the 2.4 GHz channel from the router. The 5 GHz channel was worse and the phone seemed to be confused when I had it set up to connect to both channels. I'm not seeing LTE at our house, 3G at best.

Have you tried changing Settings->Power->Power Mode to High Performance?
That fixed it for me.
Well I had the issue a few times the night before and a couple times yesterday. Bit I think it might be the WiFi effect or what I'm calling it. The phone seems to want to auto connect to WiFi and it makes the mobile data stutter a bit.

I like having it enabled because it allows me to get on my network at home and work automatically. Which is helpful because I gave up my unlimited data. But if it does it again I may look into it.

Ever since I bought the evo3d I have had issues with WiFi staying connected at home(haven't tested other networks). While I'm on my WiFi network browsing the internet and threads my WiFi icon will disappear and I lose connectivity. 3g will kick on for about 30 seconds then WiFi will pop back up and connect. It tends to happen every 5 to 10 minutes. No other device, including my og EVO, has this problem. Ideas? Troubleshooting? Replace phone?

I had this issue with WiFi after original EVO got gingerbread. Change the channel on your router, I had to call Verizon, but been good since
Try turning off always on mobile data and mobile data when your on wifi. If you have automatic sync on I'd recommend turning it off as well when your on wifi. A quick way to achieve this is to use the htc data widget.

You can try going to wifi settings, then hitting menu and advanced to turn on wifi performance mode. And you can change wifi sleep mode as well (one of the settings is fifteen minutes, so who knows)

Wifi has this weird issue where it wants to scan my home network even though its connected a million times to it. Almost like it forgets lol. I usually have to disable then enable it; not a big deal i guess but still a bug for sure!

Mine does the same but after I wake the phone I have no problems. Maybe a 3 second delay reconnecting.

Release notes would be great. Photon WIFI/VPN is putting out extra packets which are then blocked by some routers. If the wireless router is used as a router and not an AP and IP6 is disabled, the problem seems to be corrected (i.e.: no reconnection failures in over a week when it used to happen every 2/3 days. See motorola photon forum for more details.)
My wifi seems to work pretty good at work and at home. I havent noticed the phone constantly scanning but I havent been looking for it either.
as of today my phone will not connect to wifi at all... release notes and date would be very much appreciated.

Me either always works and works great, also pretty fast as well. My issue is the voice/3G radio locking up and then the phone reboots.
so it seems some are having a WIFI issue and others voice/3G... rather odd thing going on there.

Might want to check and see if that said the 19th, pretty sure you guys don't have any MR's this week.
I am always on wifi so I don't need LTE, 4G, HSPA or 3G.... is there any way I can force 2G or edge only on an AT&T locked Galaxy Note i717? I've looked all over the forums and people say go into the menu and select that option, but it doesn't work. Same with apps, don't work. I've read flashing a different modem will enable that option to work, but won't I need an unlocked phone to do so?

Why in the world would you want to do that. Why go to 2G? Why not just turn the data off

Well like I said I'm on wifi all day and don't need LTE killing my battery for no reason. And, so I can still send or receive pictures.
LTE/Data is automatically disabled when you connect to wifi. No need to do anything. It will turn itself on automatically to receive/send mms.

That is Apple's "innovation" for you right there. This is Android. Android turns off cellular data when on wifi and only turns it on when needed for MMS.
You notice how when on wifi you don't see a 4g icon? Send an mms and you will see it pop up long enough for the message to be sent and then disappear.
That is your phone automatically enabling/disabling cellular data when needed/not needed.
Ok, well to get this back on track I'd like to force 2G or even 3G no matter what. Any solution for me?
Dial *#*#4636#*#* and hit phone information. Scroll down and in the drop down list and choose GSM Only. Reboot.

Nope. Even on wifi, say If you're sending or receiving MMS it will use your data (4G or LTE). Also, unless you have it turned on while the phone is asleep, your phone will switch back to 4G for downloading or synchronize data. 2G takes longer to download information because of he slower speed which causes the phone to drain battery because the phone would still be downloading the data.

It seems as though when it goes to sleep sometimes it looses the latch on true wifi signal. Also that's the same method I use toggle off /on and it works. It has to be a sleep setting for the WiFi

Probably a problem with the phone. Take it back and get different device, perhaps something with JB already installed....that should fix all your issues.

Do you have the power saver enabled? There is a setting in there about turning off WiFi if it isn't processing data. That could be what is causing it.

Check and see if AT&T Smart WiFi is on. I swapped my first LGOG because I thought there was a problem, but instead it was the AT&T Smart Wifi App. I am experimenting with using it now to manage my WiFi and it is working just fine now that I have stopped messing with the WiFi setting in the phone settings.

Seems a little better but not great. The signal strength fluctuates constantly

Is there any reason my phone says it has a strong wifi signal but it keeps dropping wifi and starts using verizon network instead?
background:
new JB basband rooted and unloxk with jailbreak method
that's it........
Thought there may be a JB vs L4 modem and rom issue (New at this...)
Thanks
Or it may be changing settings when one first gets the phone and doesn't read (not that there is a manual) about each setting first.

Turns out the phone jack in the kitchen died so the wife moved the phone into the office. Cut my wifi signal by half, so in those areas where it was iffy to begin with, it was switching to Verizon.
I think it is all solved........(but I thought that last time.

Well.....my laptop is at 9.8 mps and the phone is getting 5 mps so there is some problem but signal strength says very strong.
When is the last time you rebooted your router?
As a pre-emptive strike, I am not interested in other devices work fine and there is no reason to because of that. They aren't using the same wifi card and they all behave differently with their own little quirks. Point in case, I have had my PC lose wifi, but my phone is fine and a router reboot clears it up.
Is it while MMS messaging? I've noticed my phone switches to 3g/4g while sending MMS, even if wifi is on.
Compared the wifes s3 side by side with my note and they dropped together so did a factory reset of the router and all is well.
Thanks for the efforts.....
