I am on bionix 1.3.1 and have noticed that whenever I turn my wifi on it seems to not allow me data access. My web browser will not connect to a page, market won't load, and any downloads that were in progress will fail. it's as if turning on the wifi is overriding my data connection and blocking it. It says that it's connected in the menu though. Any advice?
Thanks
Edit: I just noticed when looking at my phone stats, that when I turn on my wifi my mobile network state says disconnected, and it connects again when wifi is turned off.
Also, I have an airport extreme and a mac, perhaps that is my problem. I've scoured the internet and found a bunch of info about this problem, but haven't found anything that works yet.

Im sure someone will correct me if Im wrong but if you switch from wifi to 3g while downloading the download usually will fail because you were using only wifi to download the content and when that turned off it doesn't just switch to using 3g you have to manually retry the download using 3g .... when wifi and 3g are on wifi doesn't speed up the 3g instead it does the internet related work and the 3g does the text and phone call related work
that makes sense, thanks. as for the connection problem, it is definitely mac related. my wifi seems to work on other networks. I just need to figure out how to make it work with the airport. It's just weird to me that it says it's connected and shows signal bars, but won't access the internet.

so is the new problem that the airport extreme won't give wifi to your phone or that its not working at all
According to my phone I am connected via wifi to my network from the airport, however, the phone cannot access any internet functions when connected. When I disable wifi, it works fine with 3g or edge. It seems to be something with the settings on my airport, not the phone itself.

That's surprising maybe this means apple products are biased
having issues. wifi at home works with no issue.
no rom installed. stock 4.04 updated to 4.1.2.
laptop connects fine, so I know the wireless works otherwise.
tried wpa/wpa2 and tkip/aes. nothing. also with no auth.
when I turn on wifi, it says the ssid is 'saved, secured'
yet when I click on it, it offers for me to forget or connect.
when I click on connect it just sits there.
I turned off the at&t wifi as I saw in other posts, but still nothing.
I am having trouble with wireless tether on my phone. Whenever I have it running, it stops working after about 10 minutes. Any device says it is still connected, but all web pages just time out. If I go in to airplane mode or restart the phone, the connection starts working fine again, until it times out. I have tried Wifi tether for root users, FoxFi and the entitlement check, but I have the same results with all three.

Which ROM are you using?
Internet Sharing used to work perfectly fine, I would connect to it with my laptop.
I just did a hard reset and now when I try to turn on Internet Sharing it says: "Connection not shared There's no mobile data connection to share at the moment. Check your mobile settings and signal, and try again". Although it is clear the my mobile data connection is on I checked in Internet explorer to make sure it is on. I did another hard reset and I still got the same problem. I tried putting my sim card in my sister's phone and internet sharing worked fine. So it must be a problem with the phone.
Strange thing started to happen few days ago: I don't have internet while being connected over mobile network but have it over wifi. This started out of the blue...
I have unlimited internet via mobile network contracted with my mobile provider so it's not like I've used all of my mobile internet or something. I'm also connected to mobile network as it shows "4G" icon beside my network strength level bar so everything should work except when I try use any internet based app like Chrome or Whatsap, they doesn't work. Chrome gives me "This site can't be reached" problem...
I have Samsung S6 with latest original stock rom (Nougat)
Any idea how can I test where is the problem with mobile internet connection?
EDIT:
It seams that I've fixed it by changing to 3G network and tested and it worked, then I've turned it back to LTE and it worked so now everything works.
Strange... never experienced before that some part of OS stops working and needs restart
