What ROM are you running? Are you using the stock kernel? I am having a couple drops with WiFi on Beans 3 and the Perseus kernel. Whenever I connect to a bluetooth device (MOGA controller) my wifi kicks off for a couple minutes.

I'm having the same problem on CleanRom with the stock kernel. I got rid of Beans 3 and Perseus because I was looking for a fix. It's driving me nuts

I am also on CleanROM and have issues with Wifi. I'll connect it to the network and it will just disconnect. I have to manually connect to the network each time. I even restored back to my backup stock rom and it seemed the problem is still occuring. I'm not using MOGA

I'm on the stock rom as I have not rooted yet this is ridiculous

I have no problem with wifi signal on my phone. If you're having an issue, you should exchange your device for another one...assuming that it's still under warranty.

I don't think that this is a defective unit that exchanging the phone will solve.

Losing data connection

Hello all. I keep having issues with keeping mobile data working. Ill be surfing one minute then cut from data the next then i have to put it in airplane mode and take it back out for it to start working again. This happens quite a few times a day. I have tried making the new apn for internet as stated in one of the threads and it still did it. I switched to a wap.Cingular apn same thing happens. Im at wits end. This has happened on stock and several roms. I'm not in an lte area either. Can anyone help? Thanks.

What Radio are you running? I had similar issues on the UCLC5 radio, and they went away when I went back to the UCLC1 radio. The UCLC5 is paired with most ICS ROMs.
It could have been a bad flash of the Radio, because I'm now back on ICS with UCLC5 radio and I'm not experiencing any issues.
Good Luck!
I actually posted a thread about this a couple of weeks ago because the same thing was happening to me. Att just sent me a new sim card and that fixed the issue. But as of today it started happening again. I was on Seraphim rom coupled with the tablet mod and my data wasn't working. It would only work after turning on and off Airplane mode. Since then I flashed back to the unofficial Emily rom and haven't had an issue as of this morning.

Hi this worked for me. I'm stock and experienced connection issues with my wifi...sitting 2 feet from the router!!! Never had any problems connecting anything via wifi b4.
Go to settings>>wifi>>menu>>advanced. in the advanced section there is a radio button to enable Best Wi-Fi performance. Once activated I had no more connection problems.
Hope this helps.
Not sure if this might help but I changed WiFi to 2.4 GHz and like above best WiFi per. So far good

I did this and it worked for me briefly but then reverted to "authenticating" and then telling me it is the wrong access key for the network. I don't understand why it's doing this but at least for me it seems to be a 1.22 based problem as everything I've run with the prior firmware has been fine....

Your problem is different. Mine was dropping WiFi signal and then self reconnecting. Not anymore though. Your problem I have not came across. Have u tired running the ruu and reset your router?

I've reset the router multiple time and even gave my EVO a static ip to see if that would work. I guess I'll ruu and see if that will help. It's weird though.

Liquid ICS 1.5 WIFI issue

My wifi will not stay connected. I have searched the forums and have not found an answer yet. Any help is appreciated. Please let me know what info is needed to help trouble shoot.

WiFi has been solid for me on his build. What recovery are you using?

I used ROM manager to install. Did all the wipes just like previous installs I have done.
Sent from my ThunderBolt using xda app-developers app
Download 4ext recovery and use the wipe all except sd card before flashing. Cwm is extremely outdated and people are having issues like that after using it.

I will give that a try. Is that the recovery tool of choice these days?
Thanks for the help btw

Check your radio version. If you're not using the .19 radios give them a shot.

Well, I put these radios on:
1.49.00.0406w_1, 0.02.00.0312r
I have the same issue. lol
This is getting pretty sad. Do you have any other suggestions?
Maybe try to download the Rom again. Then reflash in 4ext.

At least I have unlimited data, lol. Still would be nice to have WiFi working because we only have a weak 3G signal at our home.
Did it work before you started using that Rom? My other suggestion would be to try a different ics Rom. Sorry I wasn't able to help but you're not the only with that problem. I'm surprised that no one else hasn't tried to help.

It worked fine before ics. I will look into trying a different build but I really like this one.

Yea it is a great build it sucks you're having WiFi problems. Have you tried changing channels on the phone side?
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
I had the same issue, I used the tweaked combo radio that used the .19 CDMA radio, with the leaked ICS LTE radio.
Well, I don't know how or why but it works now. I got mad and took the battery out and left it for a day. When I put it back in and turned it on it was working.

Question concerning this ROM as well. My signal bars either constantly indicate 2 bars for the 4 bar version, or full for the 6 bar signal version, and nothing else unless I am not on 4G. I saw someone posted this question somewhere else about a week ago or longer but I have been unable to locate it since I have been using the ROM. My data connection is usually fine so I wasn't sure if it'd be the radio I'm using or something with the ROM and if I may need to reflash.

I'm having that now with every rom I flash. GB and ICS based. It seems worse with ICS leaks, but it's a problem for me across the board.

4g keeps dropping out while tethering

Is anyone having an issue with their data keep droping out while tethering. I am rooted on jelly beans build 1 - beanstown 106 rom. I wanna say that this happened once I rooted. Before installing a rom I tried foxfi and it conected for awhile then the 4g and data would drop out causing me to reset. Once I turn tethering off then on it works again for awhile. I thought it might have been foxfi so I installed the custom rom beans and am currently able to use the phones wifi tethering app but the same thing happens. Any suggestions?

Unroot and b return to Vzw. You got a bad phone. My Galaxy nexi(had 5 of them or so) did this until I got a good phone.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
So urs would actually tether for a bit then just drop out?
Theres got to be more to it then just bad hardware cause the 4g and wifi never drops untill I tether for awhile. Then sometimes it wont do it for hours...
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
I think it is the stock app. Mine does this sometimes, and so did my Stock Galaxy Nexus, but the Galaxy Nexus never did it when I was using ROMs... I haven't tried any ROMs other than stock or any non stock tethering apps on the Note II yet, but I don't think it is the phone.
Well thats a relief. Thanks. So should I flash another custom rom?

Do you have anything like Tasker or locale running they both will disable your Wifi

Same issue. Stays tethered but 4g drops on and off after 3 minutes of activity

Same problem here. Must be the app.
Sure enough the native hotspot app is a POS and causes LTE to intermittently drop. Now have to resort to rooting and installing wireless tether.

You don't need to root to solve this. You can download Portable wifi Hotspot from the Market for free. It works great.
Root was a piece of cake with Chainfire's Exynos root exploit apk. And, as others have mentioned TrevE wireless tether is working much better than the native Verizon hotspot which was experiencing intermittent LTE disconnects, slow data throughput and connectivity issues with one of my older devices. Ran overnight without any LTE disconnects so far.

I've tried barnacle and wifi tether both do the same...will try some others. Went to beans' build 3 not doing it so far. Maybe something got fixed in the update. Am using phones native tether setting/app fyi.
Thinking of going to the clean rom 4.1.2.
Has anyone had tether problems with this rom? Specifically with 4g dropping out?
I didn't read this whole thread but if your 4g is dropping out its because your using the stock tethering and its not been hacked this is normal for it to drop out constantly and very annoying like. My s3 does it to. Use WiFi tether treve mod and again I didn't read this whole thread so if it has already been said just ignore my comment. Good luck. If you don't know what treve mod is I can't remember if its built into aroma with duild 3 or not but if its not and can't figure it out. Step over to the Verizon s3 section find treve mod and set up your note 2 the same way they say to set up the s3 and you'll be good to go. Again if this had been said ignore me. I'm bored. Hope it helps someone.
I pay for the unlimited hotspot feature from Verizon, and I often have the same issue on my stock, unrooted Note 2. It doesn't happen all of the time, but there periods where it constantly cuts in and out, especially when connected to a PC. It was also a problem on my Galaxy S3, RAZR MAXX, and Galaxy Nexus.
If you search around online, you'll see that people using the stock mobile hotspot app have been having the same issue for years.
Stock hotspot app AND Trev-E wireless tether does this to me constantly so it's got to be something else.... Its strange because some times it won't do it and then there's times where i'm dead in the water without the ability to tether. Yes I pay for tethering (plan).
My previous Galaxy S3 did the same crap to me as well... Thinking its a Samsung thing.. modem bug/kernel bug probably.
Anybody find any fixes/solutions?
Mine has done it periodically since I got the phone. Both stock and various versions of beans and clean rom. I just restart the phone and device connecting and it takes care of it. Happens maybe 1 out of 100 times.
A contact at Verizon says he sees people complaining about it sometimes and another one at sprint says the same thing.

[Q] CM10 WiFi issues fix

I am running a nightly version of cyanogen and I'm having issues connecting to Wi-Fi. I've flashed komodo 1.8 with the voltage tweaks. I tried the stable version with the same effect. It's there a fix?

When I had issues with WiFi on aosp ROMs it was my att modems fault. I set up a wireless bridge and bam everything worked. I didn't think it was my att 2wire modem because everything else connected fine.

I didn't want to believe it was my 2wire modem but I already had a wireless access point on the way because my laptop had trouble connecting and as soon as I set up the wireless bridge I connected my phone to the bridge with no problem. I couldn't get my evo to connect to my 2wire even when I had it right next to the damn thing. It drove me nuts lol
