[Q] Galaxy Note 2 Wifi/Data Connection - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I signed up for this sole purpose since I simply cannot find the solution anywhere. (Either outdated, or I suck at googling).
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2, GT-N7105. My data connection disconnects once I connect to a Wifi network.
I noticed this only two days ago, where I was on the custom rom Beanstalk 4.3.1 for the note 2. I contacted my telco (Singtel), they did what they could. Still the same. This is accompanied by deprival of google services, like youtube and the play store, where both say network connect error or no network. I thought this could be a problem with my rom, so I flashed a new one. (Clean!). On to ParanoidAndroid. No diff. Now I'm back on stock firmware, unrooted. I still have this problem. Is this normal and me just being stupid? I admit that I'm very new to the android scene having just converted from iOS. Still, I've done whatever I could. (Airplane mode, battery pull, stuff.)
I could live with the data connection thing, but it irks me when the said apps don't work, y'know? I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance

Keep losing data connection.

I have an unlocked unrooted S3 on Vodafone UK. This issue has been happening for the last few days whereby i have full 3G/H+ connection, but absolutely no data is working. No email, no websites loading, no whatsapp, nothing. The issue goes away as soon as I restart my phone, but then it comes back after a few hours.
Has anyone experienced this, and if so, how have you fixed it?
Go back to your network/phone provider .
Or flash different modem .

I am having this issue too. I may be wrong, but i realise this happens if i turn off my Wifi, the 3G will not want to connect to the 3G network.. Anyone else having such problem?
By the way mine is International version (Location: Singapore)
I'm having a similar problem where I have a good 3G/H/H+ connection but data seems to drop intermittently across all applications - I get the same sort of error message in browsers/facebook/twitter that you receive when you have no signal.
Anyone have anything similar and know of any fix?
I am not having such issue so far. I been updating my SGS3 using over-the-air update. I guess the MODEM has been updated as well.
Go to market and download "fast dormancy"(by gorkhanmoral) then disable it and reboot.
Check if your speed has improved,if it got worse then enable it again.
U need ROOT to use this tool.
I it didn't help, then flash a different modem
This is good modem
Cwm flashable

have you got any battery saving app like juice defender installed in your phone?
Is mobile data working at all? or is it constantly "uploading" but never "downloading" (up arrow lights but not down).
If what I just described is your issue then this is a network issue relating to android in general.
Basically your phone will be connected to two radio towers and gets confused as to which one it should use, rebooting or flight mode may help force it onto one tower or you may have to speak to your carriers "high network technical team" or whatever they are called for you to get them to force it onto one tower.
I had this issue on the HTC hero (a long time ago now) and it took 9 months for Orange UK to work out what was going on.

Congrats. Orange Luxembourg (my gf's network provider) still hasn't got a clue.. But they seem rather clueless about everything except writing invoices.
Flashing an Asian modem on her S2 made the issue far less prominent since they seem not to get confused by antenna ping-pong. (Tango Luxembourg, my carrier, has this issue too in the main city)

[Q] WiFi Issues after updating to latest firmware (Vietnam)

Right so I got the Galaxy S3 1st week of June. I received an OTA update last 26th of June and was able to successfully install latest version then (I9300XXALF6 Vietnam). No problems with it. On July 8, I was able to successfully update the S3 to another firmware via Kies (I9300XXBLFB Vietnam). No issues, loved the brightness feature and other extra goodies that came with it.
Here's the problem:
When I woke up this morning though (July 12), I noticed that I was still connected to the Router but could not actually use the internet (I checked my old Galaxy S I9000, the I9000 was still able to use the net). So I decided to fiddle with the S3's toggle switch off and then on. This time, I could no longer connect to the router and I was told that there was an Authentication Error. The router was in the next room so I tried to SIT IMMEDIATELY BESIDE IT, and to my surprise, I am now able to connect to the network. I return to my room and BAM, I get disconnected. I return to the other room where the router was, stand next to it, attempt to reconnect, and BAM, it's back! I tried to turn off the power saving option via the dialer but it didn't seem to change anything. I was hoping that this could be related to the firmware update and have decided to flash an older firmware. Anyone experience this, too? Could use some help. I don't plan to sit beside the router every time I want to use WiFi. Thanks.
Edit: So flashed back to I9300XXALF6 Vietnam firmware but to no avail. Tried rooting and putting in CM9, didn't help either. I read somewhere that this is actually a hardware problem for the S3 (which not all S3's apparently have and something that Samsung has not admitted to) so I'll try to have this replaced..no longer sure if I should replace this with another S3 or move on to the Nexus. =/

3g problems with Galaxy I777 2.3.6

i currently am living in Bolivia and am in need of a phone that can catch the poor signal in this country. i am using my recently bought Samsung Galaxy s2 i777 with 2.3.6 in an attempt to rescue myself from my IPhone 4. with very slow bolivian internet and very little knowledge of android devices i managed to unlock the I777 and root it with zetomax and odin3 v1.85. i next needed to flash a new ROM so i went with UnNamed v2.2.1. surprisingly everything went as planned and i now have a functional phone that is a serious replacement for my IPhone 4. one problem though, my IPhone can catch the 3g signal out here with ease (2-4 bars) but my galaxy has only found 3g twice since i bought it a months ago. i tried to force it to find "3g only" through *#*#4636#*#* and selected "wcdma only" which has never worked and i am still stuck with my typical useless "EDGE". my friend has a tablet with android 2.3.3, i think, and his tablet catches 3g with 3-4 bars without any problems. his version has a "network mode" option where he can select what he wants that my Galaxy does not have. i read in some forum that AT&T makes there phone without the "network mode" option. so i figured my last effort to replace my Iphone is to flash a new ROM with this "network mode" option. i read in one of your forums that "cognition 777" has this option and i seen it in the post's photos. i checked to see if i could download this "cognition 777" for my galaxy i777 2.3.6 but it is only for 2.3.5. what are my choices??? i really want to keep this galaxy s2!!! but i can not replace my iphone if i can not get 3g. 3g is my lifeline to the rest of the world. 3g is primary.
i have spent way to many nights researching my options but i am empty handed. if i need to do more work on my phone (flashing, firmware, etc) i will need links and guides because it can take several minutes to load just one page sometimes, and i don't have that kind of time or knowledge as to what else i can do. please save me from my IPhone!

[Q] Help With Blu Studio 5.0 d530

Hello all, I'm hoping someone can shed a little light on an "interesting" problem I'm having with my new phone. This may be my first post on here, but I have scoured this and other forums trying to come up with an answer but alas have found nothing, so here goes:
I am currently using Simple Mobile which operates on T Mobile's network. I have near-perfect signal at home but can't seem to use the damned thing for Facebook, Tapatalk, Zynga games, internet, etc without my interent connection timing out on me. I recently switched from Comcast to Dish Network and no longer have wifi at home so this is killing me.
This phone screams on wifi, and it seemingly works fine everywhere else via my data connection except at home. I normally show an H or an E at home. From what I understand T Mobile is replacing all of its edge circuits with HSPA+, so I'm thinking they just haven't got around to upgrading the tower closest to my house as of yet. I decided to get my girlfriend prepaid service on T Mobile with that $30 per month 5GB plan through Walmart and slapped the sim in my old Motorola Defy and it works great. However, if I put that same sim in my phone I'm back to square one with the same data connection problems, so I know this is not a problem with Simple Mobile (plus like I said as long as I am not at home my phone works well, too.).
So here's the real kicker -- if I use the PDANet+ app on my phone and turn on the wifi hotspot, it works just fine when I connect using my home desktop computer! This is so aggravating, why would I time out with my data connection for my own phone but as a hotspot it work flawlessly??? I'm pretty close to giving up on T Mobile because what good are they if I can't get a data connection on the phone itself at home?
Also I should mention that all of the APN settings are definitely correct. Perhaps there is a baseband selection that I can't find somewhere in the Blu Studio 5.0 d530 that may help (I know there's one in the Motorola Defy). Maybe it's because T Mobile recognizes that my phone is not a T Mobile branded phone (but the Defy IS), and if so, how can they push the whole "bring your own phone" thing so hard?
In any event, I may try just switching to Straight Talk but I really don't want to go through the hassle of porting my number and all that -- plus I'm not sure how good their signal is in my area. A search online for closest cell towers to my address results in T Mobile by a longshot.
Any help is appreciated, guys -- I'm frustrated to no end here.

Use Google Translate, if needed. Basically it just says that is the stock 4.1.2 rom with no carrier bloat.

[Q] AT&T One X + Tethering with International SIM

Hey guys,
So I have a bit of a tricky question that I can't seem to find an answer for. My wife and I just move to Europe for work for 2 years. We had AT&T in the states, so my wife has an AT&T HTC One X+. We got our phones SIM unlocked before we left, and purchased French SIM cards that run on the Bouygues Telecom network. My phone (Lumia 925) can do wifi tethering no problem... My wife's on the other hand has issues. I keep getting the following error:
" There is a temporary network problem that prevents the enablement of the Mobile Hotspot function. Please retry later."
I have tried the following steps:
1. Rooting the phone.
2. Installing other hotspot apps (Both root and non-root)
3. Installed custom ROMs with hotfixes to remove AT&T data requirements.
I don't know if it's relevant, but when I do a reset on the phone, it doesn't automatically connect to Bouygues network for data. I have to manually add the APN every time. Once I do that, her mobile data works just fine, so I don't THINK that the APN is causing the problem...
Anyways, if anyone has an suggestions on how to fix this issue, I would be indebted to you... I've just never encountered this problem on any of my other Android devices and I have to believe that there is a simple solution to fix the problem that I've just not encountered. Thanks!!
I loved my international HOX, so when got dropped in water i said lets go for the ATT HOX+ that has LTE.
Big mistake! I have OP's same issue, im in spain and my provider is Movistar.
I bought it on e-Bay, configured all the APNs, I used settings from their webpage and also tried telephony.db values from an international rom, stock rom didn't tether.
Rooted stock (4.1.2 i think it was) still nothing.
Elegancia (4.2.2) ROM, still nothing.
Changed some stuff on the telephony.db, still nothing
Swapped the wifirouter.apk with the international wifirouter.apk, still nothing.
Nuked TetherGuard.apk, still nothing.
Installed Moto-X tether Xposed module, still nothing (probably cause it's for android 4.4).
I read that AOSP or Cyanogen ROMs don’t have this issue.
I also read that if you swap telephone.db from international version to USA version the phone goes into a reboot loop, [More Info].
I guess the solution lays in something similar to the Moto-X tether patch, but i don't really have the time to fork the project, and try to get my tethering working.
Hope someone can give us a hand, im sure there are at least 5 more people in this same situation.
