[Q]Download arrow always-on over Wi-Fi - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody,
i've a little problem with my SIII Wi-Fi: when i'm connected to my office's wireless network, the download arrow on the status bar remains always on and the battery drain very fast!
This problem born after rooting my phone over stock rom and open the ota update and "all share play" application.
I tried to reset to factory default my phone, loosing the root mod but the problem persist.
On my home's Wi-Fi the problem doesn't exixsts.
My SIII have a stock recovery and rom, no root mod. Firmware version is I9300XXEMC2 (4.1.2) I'm form Italy but the phone is imported from Germany (DBT)
About home and office Wi-Fi the difference is on security: home's security is made by WPA2 and office's by WEP.
What can i do to resolve the issue?
Thanks in advance
Bye!!

[Q] L2TP/IPSec with PSK VPN causes phone to freeze/reboot?

I have a Galaxy S2 and my phone hangs up and/or reboots after a while when using L2TP IpSec with PSK VPN.
Notes:
- PPTP works fine
- This happens everytime I turn L2TP on, sometimes after 10-15 seconds, sometimes after a few minutes
- It seems to freeze/reboot faster when I'm on 3G compared to Wifi
I tried to no avail:
- Lightnin' Rom with several kernels (galaga, ninphetamine and stock)
- the latest stable CM7.1
I found another post on androidforums.com titled "Support when L2TP/ipsec crt is in use samsung galaxy s 2 will crash"
(cannot post the link since I'm not allowed to...)
I hope this issue will get more traction on xda since I am in China and having my VPN working smoothly is pretty important to me...
Is anyone experiencing the same issue?
This happens to my phone as well
Cognition S2 1.5.1
I finally solved the problem by flashing a stock ROM with Odin.
I flashed ZSKI3 from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Afterwards, L2TP started working fine over 3G/Wi-Fi, and moreover, I can now connect using PPTP over 3G (it was not working before but I was assuming my network provider was blocking it since I am in China).
I then went again through the rooting process and I am using LeoMar75 ROM without any issue with my VPN .
(For info: initially, I had tried to install stock kernel through CWM recovery, I had also tried CM7.1 after wipe cashe/data and also formatting system, but those did not solve the problem)
Also: flashing the stock ROM through Odin is a non-wipe install, so I did not have to reinstall anything.
Done this too.
My phone reboots after trying to connect to PPTP VPN.
Im on Lightning rom.
Any fix?
On my SGS II & T-Mobile SIM VPN freeze only in 2/3G connection after 10-30 seconds when traffic connections are established. There is 5 second gap between freeze and reboot, when phone doesnt respond to network traffic. So it looks like some type of watchdog ? Its 2.3.3 Android.
I solve this issue with MIUI ROM...
Over here instead usin the basic in os vpn or 1vpn it connects fine but no traffic on apps at all,i know those servers do work,wonder what may conflict considering that as i said theres no traffic but it is indeed connected to whatever server i tried.
My phone freezes everytime I connect to VPN using L2TP! There must be a fix...
I'm currently On CheckRom HD v4 and siyahkernel v2.6.5 and having this problem, everytime I successfully connected via L2TP connection after few seconds or few minutes phone will reboot automatically or freeze and I have to reboot it manually, I used Cognition Rom, even Stock rom and stock kernel but nothing changes, Anyone know a little fix for this?
Hello
I have same problem with my SII and the Lightnin' Rom
When the vpn is etablish the phone reboot, but only in 3G, i have no problem for use same connection VPN in wifi mode
I have the SGH-I727 with stock Rogers ROM and this problem presents itself as well. IKE authentication succeeds, L2TP authentication succeeds and I log about a half-dozen connections on the firewall (email update, looking for market, etc) and then raccoon crashes (per alogcat). The firewall is Strongswan 4.5.2 with xl2tpd . WIFI/APN makes no difference. Any IKEv2 clients for Android out there?
Does an unlocked version of the Galaxy S2 with no custom ROMs also suffer from connectivity issues when it comes to L2TP VPN?
I don't know if this helps, but most of the times, I'll be having a VPN connection over Wi-Fi and not over 3G.

[Q] Wifi does not work after upgrading to ICS

Upgraded Galaxy S2 to latest ICS update available in India.
But after that Wifi is not working properly. WAP2 authentication is not happening properly.
Wifi analyzer shows good signal strength.
No notification for wifi shown in top bar. But in notification dropdown wifi is full green.
tried battery remove, wifi sleep policy change, password change and *# code to reset driver.
Any other help?
thanks
rohan
Are you sure the password you entered is correct? Because this problem shouldn't occur if you're on the official firmware and kernel. This MAY happen if you're rooted and have a custom ROM installed which is in a BETA state. This is normally a problem related to the kernel itself. You should probably try restoring your phone if the WIFI doesn't work at all. Or maybe you can restart the phone again and there might be a fix.
doing a factory reset also might help... it helped me in my case.
which from you upgrading ,via KIES or ODIN.try to download firmware then flash via ODIN.i m had the same case first time come to ICS.
sorry for my bad english
Some solution
I updated using Kies.
BTW, I have some work around, for anyone interested.
On wifi router disable WEP encryption (not WPA), in that case S2 can connect to wifi properly.
But when WEP encryption AES or any other is enabled, it cannot connect to wifi.

[Q] SG3 Data Connection Problem - Please Help

Hi
I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy SIII (Internationl version) it keeps turning off my data connection by itself for no specific reason, I need my data connection to be on all the time(I have an unlimited data connection plan) and I'm talking about the 3g/H connection not the Wifi connection, please find hereunder my trials to solve the problem:
- I installed Omega ROM V3
- Run "FastDormancy Toggle i9300 by gokhanmoral" to disable the FastDormancy
- Run BetterBatteryStats to check for "secril_fd-interface" after disabling it and I didn't find it
- The Data connection still turns itself off !!
Also when the data is off by itself, I checked "*#0011#" and I found that the RRC state is under IDLE state so I tried to send any messages using "Whatsapp" and other chat apps in order to wake the connection up but unfortunately it didn't worked.
Please note that sometimes the data connection icon indicator in the top of the screen is there but it's not working (with no green/orange arrows, just grey)
If I wanted to wake the connection I have to disable the data connection and enable it again, after that everything is working fine till it disabled itself again.
when my connection is up and running with no problems, I checked "*#0011#" and I found my RRC state switching between "DCH and IDLE" ONLY, does this means anything?
Then I wiped my phone and:
- I tried CyanogenMod 10 ROM
Did all of the above again and it didn't worked
-I tried CodecROM
Did all of the above again and it didn't worked
now I un-rooted my device and installed the stock 4.1.1 ROM and I have the same problem
Please HELP
BTW my network provider does not support the FD as I called them many times and they don't even know what I'm talking about.
My device specs:
Model Number GT-I9300
Android version 4.1.1
BB I9300XXDLID
Try this...
i have not encountered this problem you should try restoring/ formatting your device to stock Samsung FW.
Thanks beastify, but I just did that as I mentioned in my question and I still have the same issue

Maybe try not using Jelly Bean (4.1.1) and you should try a Custom Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.4) ROM or then the Stock Samsung Rom.
Jelly Bean still has bugs so i am guessing it is the problem.
It could be a problem with your network provider also. Why don't you put sim card from a different carrier and check ?
Sent from my GT-I9300 with a BIG
Beastify, I tried IceCream Sandwich but with no luck also
jaidev.s, this is a good idea but not recommended for me as I'm a customer with my carrier from a very long time ago and I have a VIP treatment, but I can give it a try, thanks for your help

any ideas?
NOTE: it's in dutch
I've found a solution for a mobile data problem with CM13
NOTE:
if you forgot to backup your efc folder and if you have the same problem as me (look at link) this is what u have to do.
U need one phone and use it as hotspot, the galaxy s3 needs to connect with the mobile hotspot and when the galaxy s3 is connected to the hotspot must go to the wwb so some websites and then the phone who has the hotspot enabled needs to shutdown the hotspot while the galaxy s3 is still connected then the galaxy s3 must connect to the internet by itself.
This worked for me, i've restarted the galaxy s3 and i've shutdown the galaxy s3 and i still have the connectivity i hope this help you guys out!
After updated to latest nightly im facing no vibration issue
Would recommend full wipe and Install. I think this might help.
Hit thanks if I helped.
