Howdy, so I did a factory reset last night and since then my Prime cant seem to find my location , in any weather app or maps.....i tried a factory reset a few more times but still no luck....any ideas on what i can try to resolve this would be greatly appreciated!
Assuming you have location services turned on in the settings, remember tablets aren't meant to use gps. If you need gps, go buy a garmin or smartphone, because everyone around here will tell you tablets dont need gps.
I dont care about GPS, never my intention for the tablet.
Location sevices were all checked and that part of it worked perfectly before the factory reset.
Just got to work and it seems to connect ok here. Not sure what happened at home but I will test this evening.
Do you have another android device to test ?
It could be that Google doesn't know about your router's location. They have a database of wifi router locations and maybe they never got yours.

Yep, my Thunderbolt works fine at home.
I will test it this evening whenget back .
Thanks!
Uncheck the ALL location options, then save. Then check them again, you will get a nice terms and conditions dialogue, accept it. Save.
This is crazy....i had location working all day at work and the gym.
I get home and it can't find location. Weird thing is it was fine until i did the reset.
Ugh

I was curious because I had similar issues when I first turned on my prime but I had to go set the setttings like you have them to get it straightened out. Assuming that you have not already set everything up again, have you tried another factory reset?

I did a factory reset, that is when this particular issue starting happening.
Before that location was not a problem for me, at home or on any other wifi.
I did the factory reset intially because it was acting weird, sluggish and non responsive so I figured I would give that a shot before pursuing anything else ...and now my location service wont work at home. Which is strange because it does work on several other wifi spots that I have tried.
I read somewhere that Google can sometimes lose your wifi/router from its DB, just havent found out if there is a way to maybe force it back..?
The fact that it works everywhere but my home which is where I use it like 95% of the time kinda sucks...Maybe I will ping Asus and see what they have to say about it.
I have a rooted Evo 3D running ICS 4.0.3 with Sense. Blah blah blah.
Anyway, I depend on Wifi a lot cause I dont use data. Its absolutely no problem when Im at home.
But when I go to school, the Wifi is almost useless. But its weird, because I can get on the Play Store, and download apps, but that's it. How much sense does that make? Sometimes I'll receive Google Voice messages, or email alerts, but I cant send a Google Voice message, browse the internet, open an email, or play those games I downloaded with friends. I have no idea what this could be.
Before the Evo 3D, I had the OG Droid, which did everything just fine. Which makes me wonder even more why this happens.
Anyway, Thanks in advance!
Which rom are you running? Have you tried to flash another kernel? Have you tried another rom? Are you sure that your schools Internet is not safe guarded or blocking what they would refer to as warez sites?
( Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! )

Im running the stock ICS Sense rom from the OTA update (4.0.3). And I know that my school's wifi doesnt have these things restricted because on my previous phone (OG Droid), everything worked fine. I could browse the web, send GV messages and everything.
Not sure if this helps, but Im rooted with S-Off on HBoot 1.58.

Sorry, forgot to mention... No, I cant flash roms because I havent figured out how to downgrade my HBoot yet (1.58). But Im hoping once I figure that out and flash a new rom/kernal, that will do the trick.

I've tried about 2 or 3 actually. I kept getting bootloops. I did a lot of research and a lot of threads talked about how you cant flash AOSP and some other type of roms on 1.58. But I just flashed ViperRom after downgrading to 1.4. So I'll let you know if I still have the problem after school tomorrow.

Maybe the problem is with School IT and data throughput. Maybe they put limit there, so you cannot communicate while you are on exam or using time on "chatting with friends" during classes ..

Well then why did it work perfectly with my previous phone? It cant be a coincidence that they updated their internet security the same weekend I got this EVO.
Still having the same issues with the viperROM. It works for minute once I walk in the door, then just stops. Im still able to download from the Playstore and get notifications, but nothing else. Cant even do a Google search.

OK. So you've tried different ROMs and get the same behavior. And I'm assuming Wifi works correctly everywhere else or you would have mentioned it. So, I'm leaning toward something with the school wifi. I know that my work wifi only lets students out through port 80; nothing else.
Having said that, I do find it odd that basic web surfing and Google searching doesn't work while the other stuff does. You'd think it would be the other way around.

Im seriously stumped. It doesnt make sense to me. Im able to download all the apps I want, and get notifications, but nothing else. So I dont think its the port, because Im obviously getting some sort of internet connection. I've done endless amounts of Google searches and cant find anyone who has had this problem. I know there a web filter, but it only blocks certain inappropriate sites.
But what puzzles me even more, is how my previous phone did everything just fine. So I dont think its the WiFi.
Im probably being a bit repetitive, but my mind is just blown. It literally makes zero sense to me.
Try this.
NVM. Since your problem is WiFi related this probably won't help.
It sounds like your school uses some kind of proxy for security purposes.

You may need to set a proxy when you make the wifi connection to your school's network. Those settings are available by checking "Show advanced options" right below "Show password" when you first connect to the access point, or by long pressing the SSID of the network while connected and selecting "Modify network". Some people have also reported solving Internet connectivity via wifi issues by clearing the proxy settings if they were somehow set by accident.
You will probably need to check with your school's network administrator to confirm that and get the proper settings. I'm not sure why the OG Droid didn't require similar settings but it might have been able to pick up the proxy automatically like Internet Explorer does on a PC.
BTW, unless you checked the option in the Play Store app settings to download via wifi only, you may be getting your apps and notifications via Sprint's cellular network without being connected to the Internet via wifi at all.

I make sure that the Mobile Network option stays off. I know for a fact its via WiFi. And I did some research to find that this should be easily fixed. But having the crappiest luck sometimes, the viperROM I'm running managed to hide the RSTP/HTTP Proxy settings (Not sure how or why) making them inaccessible. Even worse, I cleared all my backups on my SD card to get those 2 gigs of storage back, so I cant restore to my stock ICS ROM from the OTA update while mainting root and S-OFF. At least not that I know of.
Sorry if I seem like kind of a noob, I got this phone used like 2 weeks ago. I still have a little to learn about it.

To be 100% sure that only wifi is active you can put the phone in airplane mode, then turn wifi on after that takes effect. I know that works because I do it all the time myself. I'm pretty sure the RTSP/HTTP proxy settings only affect the data connections through the Sprint network and not wifi.
You can flash the RUU.exe to return to stock without losing S-OFF, then flash a custom hboot and recovery and root the stock ROM. I outlined this process for someone else that was S-OFF in this post, which is part of my guide for rooting and getting S-OFF.
Edit: According to this thread, RTSP/HTTP proxy settings can affect ALL traffic. I'm still not 100% sure that they apply to wifi.

I am having a peculiar issue. My Wi-Fi drops out and then reconnects every 30-45 minutes or so. I have the latest version of the ROM, flashed the boot.img in the thread, but it still doesn't fix my issue. It doesn't matter how far I am away from the signal, it just drops out temporarily, and then reconnects. I can't explain it. Other than that, it seems to be working great, but before I rooted and flashed, I never had any issues of any kind with the WiFi.
Also, it may be worth noting that I don't know for sure yet, but it may also turn on the WiFi automatically even though I have it set not to. Sometimes when I am out and about, I'll get a popup saying that WiFi networks were found nearby, do you want to connect etc...
Any help will be appreciated, I love this ROM and can't see myself going back on stock but this is a pretty cumbersome issue...
Re: WiFi Issue On Venom
Have you tried it out on other routers?
And fir the asking to join networks, there is a setting in wifi>advance for that.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
About the only thing that I haven't tried is another router, but the other devices on the network don't seem to be having any issues. Then again, it is an Airport, so...Yeah, I won't fully know until I get a chance to test it elsewhere...
But I know about the advanced setting and have it disabled. That's why I'm wondering it its something in the ROM or something that I did wrong that it keeps trying to come come back. My guess is that it's disconnecting the mobile network and resetting it, just as it is doing on the WiFi...
Update
Just in case someone else runs into this issue, the problem was with an app that I used to change my host name. It would intermittently interrupt my connection trying to do that. I uninstalled it and edited my build.prop file the old fashioned way. The issue didn't have anything to do with Venom, just the fact that I had rooted and tried new things.
Thanks for your help!

Hi everyone - I have a weird problem that I really need some help on!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S III on the Verizon network. I've had the phone since it first came out and love it, but the problem I have is that when I connect to my network at home, YouTube and Google+ won't update.
Google+ tries to refresh and give the error:
"Can't load data. Check your connection."
When YouTube opens, I get the error:
There was a problem connecting to the network"
If I go into the sync settings for Google, most everything is syncing just fine, but Google+ and People details have problems. Google+ just shows the 2 arrows in the circle next to it and People details shows the same, but with an exclamation point. And then I have a message at the bottom that says "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly."
This problem for YouTube and Google+ happens MOST of the time, but sometimes it will work OK. And if I have problems and turn off the WiFi and change to 4G, everything will update just fine. I also don't have the problem on other wireless networks.
So most of you are probably already thinking, "well this is a problem with your wireless network." That's what I would think.... however, my wife has the same phone and hers works fine on our wireless network. The only difference is that my phone is rooted and hers is not. I am only rooted though; I am still running the stock ROM on the same version and NOT a custom ROM.
I have changed out my wireless router from a NETGEAR N600 to a NETGEAR N150 (yes, a downgrade) and that did not make a difference. There is nothing special configured on the router. I have Time Warner providing my Internet access.
I have done a factory reset on my phone (wiped data, cache partition, and Dalvik cache from ClockworkMod)... still nothing. Be aware that I do run a lot of apps though (around 165 of them).
Here's my problem - I don't use a ton of data, so going to 4G should just be a minor annoyance. However, I now have 2 Chromecasts in the house (awesome!) and I need to be on the wireless to cast a YouTube video over to it... 4G won't cut it.
Hopefully I provided enough info. I've attached a few screenshots as well. Usually I'm pretty good at figuring these kind of things out, but I'm at my wits end on this one and I know there's some really smart people on XDA so I'm hoping you guys might be able to provide some help.
Thanks!!

Just to add to this (and to hopefully give this a little bump), I forgot that the same problem also exists with Google Voice... when I'm at home, I usually can't listen to my voicemails through the widget unless I get off the wireless and go to 4G.
Any thoughts anyone?

Do other internet activities work fine on ur phone? Such as web surfing, watching youtube vids etc?
And another thing is that rooting and unlocking tends to break some software related stuffs in stock roms, and the sync issue might be related as well. I suggest that u try a custom rom and see if the problem persists. Hope that helps

Why are you rooted? Are you using an ad-blocker? If yes, disable it, reboot, and try again. I've seen some of Google servers end up on adblocking lists.

Polobunny, that's something I didn't think of, but no I don't use an ad-blocker. I'm rooted for the backup abilities in Titanium Backup, the awesomeness of Greenify, and the ability to do small things (like rename sound files for the phone starting up or the camera shutter sounds). I like that idea though - I will try using Voodoo OTA RootKeeper to temporarily disable root when I get home. From another perspective though, that would be weird if it fixes the problem since it's only when I'm at my house... other WiFi connections work just fine. I will let you know what I find out.

Well, it made me think... why not? That's one of the only differences between my phone and my wife's (the other is that I have a ton of apps on mine). I've only used Voodoo OTA RootKeeper one time, but it looks like it will do a temporary unroot, so I'll give it a shot.
As far as the ad-blockers, while I don't have one specifically installed, is it possible that one of my other apps might be causing a similar problem?

I'm thinking this might be a DNS issue. You've done a lot of work already on your phone and changed your router, but I don't think you mentioned reseting your modem. That would be my next step, whether or not m.youtube.com works on your device.

That got me thinking a little bit as well... I returned the cable modem I had to Time Warner in January (2013) and replaced it with a Motorola SURFboard SB6141 that I bought. I just logged in and checked the stats on it and everything looks in the normal range. I'm not 100% sure, but I'm pretty confident that I've been having the problem since before the modem was swapped out.
When you say "reset the modem," are you talking about rebooting it or are you talking about resetting the configuration on it? I'm fine with either, just asking. The number show that it's been up for 31 days. The thing that keeps prodding me though is that their are no problems from at home on my wife's phone.
DNS is an interesting thought that might make the most sense... but more so a problem with it on my phone than anywhere else. Right now, my NETGEAR wireless router is dishing out the DHCP info and gives out Time Warner's DNS server addresses. I had Google's in there for a while, but changed them at one point thinking this might be related.
Is it possible that I have a bad HOSTS file entry or something when I connect to the WiFi at home? Does anyone know if the YouTube, Google+, and Google apps connect to different names or IP addresses than the mobile sites? If so, maybe I can try pinging those names or IPs that the apps go to for testing (assuming the mobile sites work fine).
Thanks!

Simply reboot it, not reset the configuration my bad.
You can use Google DNS servers on your router. This would absolutely rule out that your TimeWarner DNS servers are messing up with your stuff.
I wouldn't think it would be HOSTS file issue, unless you changed something to it yourself. Even more so if it works on mobile data.
As for YT, G+ and Gapps, they use a mesh of different servers so it's a bit hard to direct you more clearly. They all use the range 184.150.x.x as far as I'm aware though.
So all in all, try rebooting your modem. Might as well unplug the router when you do so. If it works after, then yay. If not, try using Google DNS.

Hi geoworld - yes, the bootloader is unlocked.
As a side note, I got home today and of course wasn't having the problem. Regardless, I rebooted the modem (and router) as polobunny suggested. I also changed the DNS servers to be Google's DNS instead of the ISP's. Now I'm just waiting for the problem to happen again.

I don't know yet - like I mentioned in the original post, it's an intermittent issue that happens MOST of the time, but sometimes it does work. Unfortunately, it worked fine when I got home yesterday before I even made any changes so it's hard to tell if any difference was made. If it's not going to work again, I will know pretty quickly (next day or two) since that's how often it was happening. I'll keep the thread open for a few more days and update the post as I'm testing every day.

Hi Everyone!
If this is in the wrong place I apologise,
I have been using the AOSP ROM (http://en.miui.com/thread-502828-1-1.html)
Everything was fine using the March version of the ROM but I installed the 20/5/2017 version and i started (every now and then) getting my WIFI saying connected but no internet... I then cannot use my browser, apps that need WIFI etc until i reboot my phone then works ok again for a while.
They then released an update 21st and also one after that 23rd. I have tried both the updates and i still get the error, I have done a clean install both times and wiped the cashes. I have also tried this .>> http://www.techsiddhi.com/2014/05/how-to-resolve-connected-to-wifi-but-no.html
i have tried to change to static IP on my device but wont allow me to save changes i am out of ideas and really dont know what to do, I dont think its an issue with the ROM but maybe my router, i just dont know...
I appreciate any help you guys could give!
Many thanks
Matthew
Hello! I suggest you switch to a MIUI rom (ex. Global Beta) to see if your issue persists.

Well you can flash this ROM http://bit.ly/2qdTEz0 which is the latest xiaomi.eu stable ROM for Redmi Note 4 MTK and Magisk Manager V12 for root http://bit.ly/2puOFMA .
You can learn more about Xiaomi.eu by visiting https://xiaomi.eu
Information about Magisk ---> https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
*Remember! You can always use SuperSU for root if you like it better.

Which router do you have ?
I had issues with Wi-Fi on a bt home hub (previous to this phone though) which had similar symptoms.
I got around it by tweaking the settings in the hub (disabled band steering, so that 2.4ghz and 5ghz have different ssid's. Also set 2.4 to be"mode 3")
A long shot, that you have the same router, I know.

Thanks very much for the info George I really appreciate the effort you have put into finding the information for me, I was no a fan of the Chinese ROM that came with the phone that's why i looked into installing a custom ROM and apart from the current issue I am very happy with it.
I have downloaded the Global ROM and Magisk films so that if I cannot find a solution soon I can give it a try.... I always get nervous when rooting/flashing new software as I always worry about boot loops etc as i am fairly new to all this.

Thanks very much for getting back to me I really appreciate it! I definitely think were on the right track, my router is a SKY Fibre router but I can't say I understand what you are talking about lol... I have been into the router settings and had a look, one think i have noticed is even tho I have changed my ROM 3 times, starting from scratch each time it is still allocated the same ip address etc.. (192.168.1.6) so it seems to be carrying the problem over each time.
I have tried rebooting the router, phone several times I did try and follow steps to change to a static IP from my modify network on my phone but would not allow me to save the changes..
I did read that I should try and go into developer options and enable "Use legacy DHCP client) I did this after flashing the latest version of the AOSP ROM (23/5/2017) so far its been ok but i'm not sure if it will last. I just don't understand what the problem is??
Thanks again guys for all your help and I hope I can get to the bottom of it!
Matt
Did you upgrade it or do a clean flash? Try a clean flash if you didn't. I am using the latest build of the same ROM, no problems at all.

Thanks very much for coming back to me,
Yes did a clean install 3 times, it must be bringing the problem with it somehow, i don't understand it?
Each of the 3 time I have done a full wipe and cleared all cashes etc....
Also, you are not restoring Amplify settings from the download page? Are you able to connect to other routers?
The router is assigning you the same up address each time because your Mac address isn't being changed when you flash new Rom (Mac address is unique 12 digit number, hard coded into the radio on your phone. It should stay the same. You can change it temporarily by spoofing. Do not pay attention to this though, it is for info only, just so you know what's happening )
Your router recognises the Mac address of the phone and issues it the same ip address that's been given before, by dhcp.

If that is the problem then an app called "Change my MAC - Spoof WiFi MAC" can be used for what its name suggests.

Well I was wrong. I just tried this app and it doesn't seem to work with our device.
I said in my post, I was explaining, just for info.
It'll likely be some erroneous setting in his sky router. Sky are well known for issuing appalling hardware with their connections(and forcing customers to use them by refusing to give adsl login details, so people can use their own supplied hardware)
Another poster asked if op has the same issue using other routers - I'll bet that it's just with this one router.

An alternative would be Pry-Fi. Idk maybe Matt can try it and see if it helps.

When I flash a clean install of the ROM I use titanium backup to restore all my apps and data (including Amplify) Do you think this could be an issue?? So far the "fix" using legacy DCHP in developer options has seemed to be working... been on for 8+ hours yesterday and a couple so far today and has not done it (yet) ...

Thanks for the info! I appreciate your help Do you think there is anything I can do? I can log into my SKY router but not sure what I can change, I have not tried to log into any other wifi yet, I can get internet absolutely fine on my SKY router. What happens is after a couple of hours or so I notice I am not getting any internet on my phone and I have an exclamation mark on my WIFI Symbol, so I turn it off and on, reboot etc.. and it comes right for a while then happens again so its intermittent.. Like i said above so far its been ok using legacy DCHP in developer options but im not 100% convinced as yet..
i am not sure if this helps any but you know when you first flash your rom and android starts for the first time and you go through the welcome screen, choose language etc.. I notice when i select my WIFI and enter my password it briefly (slit second) shows "Connected No internet" but then does the usual obtaining IP address etc....

I don;t know anyone with fibre, who has SKY as their ISP.
If you like, I can have a look at your router settings, via teamviewer on your computer.
PM me if you want me to have a look
Well still having the issues!
I have clean flashed MIUI Global ROM and still have the issue, I have now put AOSP ROM Back on as its sooooo much better than MIUI as I can safely say its nothing to do with the phone itself and seems to be a router/phone settings issue but i still dont really know what to do..
Over the last week or so I have noticed workmen looking at out local green fibre box and wondering if it is an issue with the line so I might give SKY a ring and see whats the issue.

Just to give you guys a bit of an update...
I have just got of the phone with SKY now and they have asked me to change the channel from auto to channel 13 and also to select WPA/WPA2-PSK.
As i was on the phone to them my phone did the "connected no internet" thing and i used my laptop to make the changes to the router and after a few seconds my phone connected again so I am hoping that this may have fixed the issue! Fingers crossed!
Still doing it! So I have installed EPIC ROM and my router has given a different ip address so fingers crossed it wont do it anymore, been a few hours and so far so good...
totally late to this, but i'm facing the same problem on my redmi y2. the router that i'm using is TP Link archer C50. no custom rom or anything. please help
li faced a similar problem as my phone won't detect wifi signal from my router, i reset my phone but only after 15 minutes my phone can't detect signal from my router but problem solved when i switched aeroplane mode on and than off as soon as i switched it off wifi signal was detected and my phone got connected to it. Sometimes it shows no internet i switch aeroplane mode on & than off and it starts to work again or it gets fixed automatically too. You can try too it may help.
