Anyone else have an issue switching from Wi-Fi to mobile data? When I leave the house and turn off Wi-Fi, the mobile data will light up the indicator and have a good signal, but actual internet use acts like there's no connection. I have to disable mobile data, then enable it again to get anything to work.
This is using the Verizon version, and I also recall this happening on my V20. I had hoped this would've been resolved at some point.
I am having the opposite issue. When I don't have WiFi on and try to turn it on, the blue indicator lights up and then abruptly turns off.
The only way I have found to get around this is to tap on Wi-Fi and while it's lit, restart the phone all together. Then when it powers up, it will connect.
I'm having this problem I have to restart the phone for the internet to work again. I'm on the T-Mobile version

I was restarting as well, but found simply turning mobile data off and on would get it working again. Not a fix, but saves a little time.

Anyone else having WiFi issues?
I can connect to networks but I don't actually have internet access(I have tried on multiple networks, both secured and unsecured).
Any ideas?

I have had the same issue and it resolved after rebooting. But it came back once I let the phone idle for sometime. I have to restart the wifi for it to start working again!! I don't know much about this.. but its similar to the smartsync problem with One X.. except that the wifi disconnects every time the phone idles for a few minutes! Anyone else had this problem?

Try turning WiFi security off....

I had the same problem. Fixed it by turning off wifi, unchecking the "Use DLNA if DHCP is not available" setting, then turning wifi back on.
Faulty device
I tried all of those combinations but neither worked. Took the cell to a VZW store and they replaced it. Everything is good with this one, so the old was just faulty. Are you guys using any screen protectors or cases?

When this happens, go to advanced Wifi settings and check your IP. Most likely you have a 169. address and no useful default gateway. This generally happens when DLNA IP option is enabled and your DHCP server isn't fast enough for the [bad] rom settings provided by HTC. If that's the case, the just disable that option and cycle Wifi.
im having a problem as well just got my dna yesterday and it seems when its asleep for a bit i awake it and then disconnects flashes to 4g connected back to my network but i have no activity at that moment then i have turn wifi off and on to get it back
i know its not my network no other problems with over 5 other devices and never had a problem with any phone for years
My girlfriend has this issue with her DNA. They replaced it with a brand new one, same issue. We have a wireless router that has 3 laptops, another phone, two tablets plus my friends phones and tablets when they come over, no issues for anyone. But the two DNA's we have tried, do.
Connects, and then it says it is connected but stops working after a short time. Shows that it is connected but anything that requires internet sits there spinning. Disable Wifi and it kicks over to 4G and emails and stuff starts flooding in. Go into Wifi settings and turn it back on, and it seems like it keeps turning itself on and off, like it is stuck in a loop.
Both DNA's, same exact issue. BOth stock, non-root, both have had hard resets, nothing seems to fix it. Some searching on Google says that the issue, while not common, it's all that un-common either. Seems to be an issue with the phone itself.

I had the exact same problem when stock. I have not had that issue since I flashed my first custom rom. Clearly it is an issue with the stock rom.

it really isn't a big deal. If you have to return it for any reason bricking it or reverting it to stock isn't a problem and in all the years I've been working with Android, out of tens of thousands of users that I've had exposure to, I've never once have i heard of a carrier denying warranty work because of a phone being modified. they're generally just not smart enough to even know how to check if they even care to check. The only thing that I've heard about is people walking into store and telling them that the phone has been modified. In that case they will use it against you. Anyway you're better off with a third party ROM and a better kernel for this phone.
Used FXR from the market and fixed my wifi issues.

Went back to vzw, they said that HTC knows of the problem, it is software related but no eta on the fix. Not wishing for another thunderbolt debacle, she exchanged it for a RAZR HD.

THIS.
I tried it exactly how you said to, disabled the DLNA option, turned off then on my Wi-Fi, and boom, started working again. I thought my phone could have been faulty, but I bet anyone who tries this will see their issue fixed.

I'm having the same problem but the DLNA option was already turned off by default. Wifi works right after a restart and then stops working a short time later. Once it stops working, I get a blank screen when I try to view the available wireless networks, even though this screen was populated with multiple networks previously. Frequently, I get a "Process com.android.settings isn't responding" message. I had these exact issues with my first DNA and Verizon sent me a replacement. Same issues with the replacement. Anyone else experiencing this?
From my experiences wifi keeps my phone awake and data transfers like crazy. I set wifi to never stay on when my phone sleeps but this hardly ever works. Most times it stays on!
What's up with this? It works sometimes but what do I have to do to make it shut wifi off when I turn the screen off?

Install DataEasyPro if nothing else works.
AFAIK WiFi only turns off if the connection has been idle for a certain amount of time. If your phone keeps transferring data, WiFi won't shut off. Check your running programs and your sync settings for anything, that could be using your network connection.
The stock ELKC WiFi policy works fine. CM and ROMs based on it do not

Hi,
I have been using Android GBX0*+3.4.26 rom for a long time. I haven't got too much big trouble except speed, app crash and battery. Nowadays i have a problem with my network.
Normally i have been using 3g connection. When my connection is down for some reason for seconds(subway or etc), my phone get no signal so people can not call me, text me. Also i can not call or text them. But everything seems normal, i mean it looks like getting signal.
Then i tried to fix it with airplane mode. When i click airplane mode, nothing happens. Everything looks like it is still roaming. When i restart phone, it opens in airplane mode. Also, airplane mode is not a solution for that, because everything seems normal, i dont know when my phone doesnt get signal.
I re-installed Android GBX0*+3.4.26 rom, still same error.
What should i do? Anyone has suggestions?
Thanks anyway,
Update
I realized that it is not about internet connection. I turned off data connection before sleeping. When i woke up, it was already not getting signal. Any ideas?

My cellular Internet randomly stops responding in the browser throughout the day even it says I'm connected to LTE. I have to turn airplane mode on/off to get it working again. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or is it just me.

Me too, it will sometimes say, "Phone is not registered." I came over to T-Mo to save some dollars, so I was unable to determine if the issue is T-Mo's network or the S5. Especially true since I've always had HTC phones. My issue does only seem to happen in stores and where I work, so I assumed it to be T-Mo...
I also have a problem with the Wifi not remembering my password. Strangely this only seems to happen when I check the "Smart Network Switch", which is SUPPOSED to make it smoother...
It happens once in a while. Toggling Airplane Mode on and off fixes it.
Happens to me too. I don't think it's the phone, as I was having the same issue with the S4. Had to toggle airplane mode.
Sent from my SM-G900T using xda app-developers app
Same here, it happened very very occasionally with the S4, but it seems like it's at least once a day if not more with the S5. I had a separate microphone issue on my first phone so this is my second device that's had this problem. The airplane mode toggle works, and also turning wifi on and off works for me. The problem is when I don't realize it's happened and I miss a call which is problematic for obvious reasons. I've missed several calls in the last few days which I find unacceptable, if this doesn't get sorted out I'm going to have to switch to another phone soon...

same happened to me had to return the phone through buyers remorse program seems it's an hardware issue a simple restart or reset of Internet via airplane mode will fix it but annoying
I'm also having the issue. Not a major issue as it doesn't happen too often.
I notice I get it when I am connected to wifi. Doesn't seem to happen as often when wifi toggled off.
Same here I had the s4 it just recently like a month ago I though it was my s4 but when I got the s5 same thing so its nost likely a t mobile

Hi guys,
My dad has a C5 Ultra and for some strange reason, the data turns on briefly and shuts down again. Is there a way to stop this. He is charged 0.04 Paise every time this happens. And It happens every half an hour.
. Plz help
Turn location off , strange app uses packet data even if it is off or you are connected to wifi

I simply removed all the VPN saved. It helped. But now I won't be able to connect to the internet at all. That's fine with me. You can try what the above user has suggested ...try to shut Location. See if it works.
Thanks.
I had this issue, turns out it was an app from the carrier that forces to connect through mobile data connection to check for status or something.
I just uninstall the app and use their mobile web instead, it's been fine since

thank u so much all of your suggestion i've done and successfull blocking any mobile data internet from my phone
and i added restriction app background data each running apps that consume internet through mobile data,:victory::victory:
During set up you are asked if you would like to allow apps to access to data even when turned off you need to un-check that option.
