Hey, everyone. Using your AMAZING n00b guide and overall lurking of this website for several months since January I've done quite a few awesome things with this phone. Currently I am running Cyanogen Mod 7.1.0-Ba2tF-Olympus (any further information how I got there can be provided if necessary). I'm having a slight issue though. I've noticed that sometimes I'll randomly have no data or cellular service what-so-ever. To gain access to data and cellular service at that point I will then have to restart the phone, wait for it to boot, turn on WiFi, wait for that to connect, use an application like Browser or Facebook to test connectivity, if data transmits then I'm good, then AND ONLY after I go through all that can I disable WiFi and connect through regular data and cellular channels. I was wondering if this has happened to any of you and if anyone had any idea on how to fix it?
If you need clarification I'd be more than happy to try and sort my explanation out for you.
Thank you all in advance and I hope to hear from you soon!
Hello,
Did your APN settings are good ?
You can found it there : Setting / networks / Mobile Networks / Access Point Name.
Where are you from, what is your carrier ?
Regards.
I am thinking you need to flash a new radio.
Im using na 16gb wifi only flyer
i was using stock gingerbread
and updated to honeycomb build
when i was using gingerbread my wifi connection was fine
but after i updated ( i tried every honeycomb roms in here)
wifi connection gets disconnect and re connect every few minute
i found out that when i set the password (router) this problems
continue.. When i disable the password wifi connection had
no problem.. But i need to set up the passworld..
Those anyone know how to solve this problem?
Hey. I had the same issue as well. I just recently got mine and I searched and found this. I'm not taking credit for this since it's not mine, but it helped me fix my issues.
1. Go to Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi settings.
2. Long press the network you are currently connected to.
3. Press Modify network.
4. Scroll to IP settings and select Static.
5. Keep everything else the same, and press Save.
Someone also said that he was using an older router, like me, and so he bought a new one and it worked. But this is a FAR cheaper fix for those of us without $$.
This is a weird one. For a month I have been using the Leedroid rom with Honeycomb. I have the /htc /flyer 32gb with 3g (UK). In the last few days I have lost my internet connection on both wIFI and on 3g. I did get it back for a few hours today and now I can't connect again!
Having a tablet with without connectivity is a bit like having a fancy brick :-(
I have tried removing the Sim card and re-inserting it and trying a different wifi router.
Anyone else had issues like this?
i assume you haven't made any changes/modifications/installations recently that may have messed with it?
for your 3G connectivity, put your sim card in your phone to determine whether the issue lies with the sim card or the Flyer...also check your APN settings
same with wifi - can you connect your phone to your router's wifi?
my guess is that you installed an app that's messed with your settings
Problem solved (sort of)
Thanks for the reply
You may have been right that an app messed up my settings. I know the APN settings were correct as I could connect from my Nokia phone using them and the SIM card. I could also use two other definitely internet connected routers.
In the end I did a factory reset using CWM. After a few scary moments after the re-boot it was working again. Evidenced by the fact that after reboot the tablet tried to download my previously installed apps again!
I have had to re-do some settings and the Flyer seems to be runnng a lot more smoothly than before. Still no idea what caused my problems but will definitely be checking after I install apps in future that my web connection stays up just in case! Update, it seems my g and ADSL wifi are not getting along together - had no probs before though....mmmm....

you can stop that from happening...that's a "feature"...lol...either untick "back up my settings" under >settings/privacy; or don't add a google account after a new flash until you have reinstalled apps from a backup

some people have had success changing the wifi channel on the router to something higher than 11 (so i've heard, i've never had to do it myself)...you may also want to try setting static IPs for any other wifi devices to avoid conflicts
either way, it is far more likely that the issue would be settings other than ROM related, else everyone else would be having the same issues
you could also try something like this

Hello,
I run into rather strange problem. My phone, china Android 2.3.4, is working quite weel instead of this:
If I use WIFI, then turn it off and try to use mobile data connection, it is not possible.
Icon showing that mobile connection should be active is on, but no data comming through.
I tried switchiing to airplane mode, changing access point names and so on, but nothing worked. Only solution was to restart the phone, after that all works normally - until connecting to wifi.
After rooting my phone I tried to figure out more with Teminal emulator. It seems that after releasing wifi connection and turning interface down, mobile interface comes up with same IP as before - it should ask network for new one. But, more important, route table is empty (or containing one entery and no default gateway at all)
I tried bringing mobile interface up and down several times, tried forcing it to use dhcp (timeout), without success.
Is there a way to "reset" whole networking system from shell? Something like partial restart, which would be probably quicker than full restart.
Thank you for any ideas.
Same issue on my Galaxy S3. After being connected to wifi, i can't use mobile data connection and the only way to make it come back is reboot.
Any suggestion?

I'm having the same problem with an LG Optimus F6. Did you ever get this resolved with your phone?
Hey everyone, I wanted to put together a thread focusing on wifi issues of different variety and what we can do to potentially fix or workaround the main issues
I personally have been working on a solution for the discrepancy that disallows me to connect to my enterprise wifi at work, lollipop and previous versions connect just fine. So far ive found this issue. May not be easiest nor even possible for some of the issues some of us are having, but i think its worth working towards solutions.

What wifi issues? You might need nrw router.
I was able to connect via guest, then they had lock it due to bandwidth consumption. I have password since im a supervisor and my other phone (5.1.1) connects just fine. The nexus says saved, but when i click connect nothing, doesnt say obtaining ip or authenticating. Credentials are correct and connected before to same network without lock

Does your nexus connect fine to other wireless networks? How can you blame it on the device instead of going and fixing your work network settings instead? There are no wifi issues. Call an IT guy and he will fix your router.

Interesting, I just read through a lot (more than I can believe) of that issue log. It sounds like its technically not a Google/Android 6.0 problem even though the problem arose with the upgrade to 6.0. Have you considered doing what Nick suggested and reaching out to your enterprise IT administrators at work to see if they can or plan to do the necessary updates?

Yeah it connects to others but all devices lollipop and older including iphone and blackberry connect fine. And its known that android m has issues connecting to some wifi that works fine with all other devices. If you do a quick search youll see basically all 6.0 devices (nexus 6, etc) have same issues once updated to 6.0 (hit or miss depends on network they try to connect to, but same story just fine before update). The IT dept are not going to change settings on their network that works fine with 99.9% devices that people have there, since im only one so far with a 6.0 device (IT request MAC address when you get pass) it obviously is some sort of security policy within the os or something of that nature

Yeah, they are hesitant to change what works for almost everyone that connects to it. Also i think itd be a good thing to work on since most IT admin wont change for the very few with newer devices
On a side note i do feel like its more or less a cop out of them to claim its not 6.0 fault because when push comes to shove it works fine but once 6.0 it doesn't and nothing changed on the network
When I had my Nexus 5X, I had issues connecting to WiFi at home until I used the Network Settings Reset option under Settings > Backup and Reset. I think this issue came from the restore of settings during initial setup. Possibly worth a try.
Still, the issue I'm running into now is that my 6P only connects to one of the two routers at home. I have both broadcasting the same SSID though they're different brands and one's an older G router. On my Moto X running 5.1, the phone would connect to the strongest signal. Seems the 6P will only connect to one and never connect to the other. I've had the phone "forget" that one and connected to the other and then it refused to connect to the original. Very odd.
My point in saying this is that I wonder if there's a similar issue occurring in the OP's office. Though the same SSID is being broadcast, its as if the phone remembers the MAC address of the specific router it originally connected to and refuses to connect to any others. Just a thought.

Have you tried turning on developer options, scroll down and turn on legacy dhcp client under networking.
Yeah, ive tried that also
the fix in this thread might work, if you're rooted.

Just tried and sadly it didnt work
Tell the IT dept to upgrade their radius auth
I'm also having WiFi connection issues with eduroam (an often used protocol in UK universities) amongst other including my home dual band ac network. It locks out and can only be resolved by a reboot, which then takes 30-60 seconds to power off. Not normal or 'just an admin' issue. It seems to be software related as it is not constant nor predictable (ie it's not in certain areas and a reboot always reconnects). I'm unconvinced by the 'speak to your network admin' argument as it is neither useful or realistic and incompatible on my current patterns of usage or the issues being reported more widely.
My 6p works fine on my wi-fi router at home, but when I go over to my son's house, I have to go into Advanced Wi-Fi options and change the frequency band from automatic to 2.4 GHz only. Then I have to cycle my wi-fi off and back on. Then it will work on his router. Otherwise, it with keep trying to connect and fail every time.

Yeah, these are the issues (including the issue im having) that im talking about. Theres clearly issues with wifi on 6.0. Its not an issue with the hardware, nor is the solution "buy a new router" or "must be the settings on your companys network" granted most people can connect everywhere they've tried but if they tried where we cant connect or have issues they'd have same problem. Im thinking its a problem due to security policies or something along those lines but we should be able to alter, remove, or opt out of them at our own risk. Just thinking out loud.
Which build are you on? Mine ends in k. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3248499
