Hello guys,
First of all, sorry for my bad english.
So, I bought a Galaxy Nexus 3 months ago, and I'm really impressed with this phone, but one thing is really annoying me. When using tethering, connection fails all the time.
Let me explain better:
1-I Turn Tethering on
2-My computer detects it. I connect
3-Internet works.....for a few minutes than every website fails to load.Stays on "Sending request"
4-I have to turn wireless off and turn on again, than it works again for a few minutes and fails.....
Thanks for your help!

This app works great, you will need root.
the problem persists
Try using foxfi

have you tried multiple machines? Could the issue be your computer and not your phone?
I've been having this same problem, but I'm pretty sure it is my Mac Lion causing the problem, not the phone... If you're using a Mac, check it out. I haven't found a solution, yet. Let me know if you find something...

Im using Osx Lion too.......
But it happens both with Macbook and with windows 7
Same issue here for years on Macbook pro. Tethering works for a minute or two, then all pages fail to load and it reverts to "Sending request..." or 'This webpage is unavailable'. Highly frustrating.
I'm not sure it's Android at fault because I get the same behavior on some public WiFi hotspots, but never at home. Any ideas?
Hi,
Has anyone got the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (4.1.1 aka Jelly Bean) to lock on to the GPS without using a SIM? I am using this phone for the first time. I am on a Wifi Connection and outside my house (no overhead obstacles), but I cannot get the GPS. I can get Google Maps, but it cannot connect to the GPS. I have also tried NavFree USA and it says “Poor GPS”.
I’d be grateful for any ideas.
O. O.
Get GPS status and let it run while you're connected to WiFi
It will download agps data and that should help with your GPS issue

I have no clue what I did (might be I touched some hidden setting) and the GPS works perfectly. I talked to someone else who said that if you have a brand new phone (which I have), the GPS takes a while to lock on the first time. I think this was the situation with me because when I got the GPS to work, I was out of my Wi-Fi range. (I was in my car on the road with NavFree USA app.)
Thanks again guys.

Not sure if it's just me, but on my Nexus I am connected to wifi while at work and at home. When the screen turns off so does my data about 10% of the time. When I turn the screen back on it will show just the cell bars (full signal) with no data icon (H, 3G, E, etc.) and no wifi symbol. After unlock it will try and re-connect and eventually does. In my wifi settings I have keep wifi on during sleep set to "always", and wifi optimization turned off (<-- not sure what this does).
Anybody else with this issue?
Yeah I get this issue too after the update...even with WiFi sleep set to never....and the new option for WiFi performance switched off! Any help devs?

Same for me, but try this : (this is what i do)
go to wifi settings and turn it on, wait for it to connect then turn it off, then on again.
this solves it for me but i have to do this every time i want to connect to a wifi network
This always happens to me too I just thought it was because of the new wifi-optimization so I never thought twice about it...

Same
I am having the same problem.
Now that this is buried in Q&A I expect that it won't been seen as much.
Could any deva compare the driver for the WiFi from 4.1 and check the changes using a code compare app? Should be Peru ready if someone can tell me how to get at the code inside the files I could do it..... It might help

Same problem here, any fix/solution for it?
judging from responses I guess many have tried/failed to find resolution.
in my case, and I THINK it is since 4.2.1 - can't prove it - the reception is just abysmal on my home ap [repeated, one single ap id/login]. nexus 7 beyond about 4 meters from any of the devices gets a flaky connection, will drop, reconnect in the background repeatedly. if I use wifi analyzer on the nexus it shows a "fair" signal at that spot - use it on a better device and of course it shows a better [green] signal .. surprise surprise.
my geriatric Optimus P509, the galaxy s4g, ipad mini, and venerable thinkpad x120e get good signal on the very spot.
I've tried off/on wifi, cache clearing - no sacrificial animals however...
any clues out there?
oh, and as some few others have noted, I get a different signal indication in portrait mode vs. landscape, no matter how my fingers are arranged. and just the act of flipping it into the horizontal will cause a disconnect/reconnect.

same problem, don't know how to solve. I guess (just guess) it may be relavent to power management, because it often happens at night, when I left the phone untouched for several hours. I think during this long period of time the phone goes into some kind of "power saving mode", which affects the wifi and data connection.
I'm in the same boat, I've got the same problem with mi wifi. Everything works great, except when I turn off the screen and my wifi begins to act crazy turning on/off all by itself.
I've tried latest aokp latest cm 10.1, different kernels but nothing. I'm thinking to go back to 4.1.1 to see will the issue still be there.
Report back if it works good in 4.1.1.

After flashing back to CM 10.0, everything is working perfect again, no wifi issues at all.
So it's a 4.2.1 issue... Maybe a modem + 4.2.1 issue? Or is this issue specific only for a few devices?
I'm using LF1 modem.

I have the same wifi issue as well. When the phone is asleep wifi will drop and I don't get email notifications. I'm thinking about going back to 4.1 as well.
Try to untick the wifi optimization. Mine one seems ok, without wifi drop after untick it.

I'll give it a shot, but I think that I have already tried that.

I tried this too but it didn't helped. Yesterday I've flashed rasbeanjelly and my WiFi worked fine, but today again WiFi drops everytime my GN is in deep sleep.
Don't know what to try or do next...

Just as the title says. I used to tether every day on the train with my tmobile plan. I flashed manually to the official kitkat image a few days ago, and since then my tethering has been blocked by tmobile.
Has anyone else run into this and solved it?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
This is really disconcerting for me. I had my sim in a mobile hotspot with T-mobile and bought the Nexus 7 to put that sim into. I would still be able to tether with the tablet and also use SMS directly from the device instead of accessing it through a webpage. With this update, Google breaks the two features I bought this device for. Not only is this a problem but I can't seem to find a place to actually complain to Google about this and expect to get any kind of answer about it.
Check the nexus 5 q&a section. There is a hack to fix this.

I'm going to flash back to 4.3 tonight to see if i can get my tethering working again.
There is no benefit to 4.4 on my nexus 7 compared to 4.3. Actually, there is only a downside, many apps I use just crash on 4.4.
Will report back tonight if my tether starts to work again.
ok, an update as I said. I flashed the previous version "jls36i" stock image back, and I'm happily tethering once again on the train
Does anyone know where I have to go on the internet to get an answer from Google as to why tethering is disabled on Kit Kat for the Nexus 7? I've tried to find some place to send an email, have a discussion, fill out a web form, or anything but I can't find anyplace that I'm sure will get me an answer back. I'm not a social media person but I will join one if I can get an answer to my questions. Any help would be appreciated.
They've definitely changed something in the past month or two. I was able to tether to my ipod w/o any issues. I hit my 500mb limit today. I figured, no big deal, will just fire up my vpn (L2TP) from the ipod. Done deal, right? Nope. They can still detect it somehow.
I will have to check it out on my pc. I have a hunch they can somehow tell that tethering is enabled on the phone (nexus 5 4.4).
Hi guys. Just wondered if anyone can help. I am having a problem with an app that connects a cycle computer (mio/magellan cyclo 505) and nexus 5x that provides texts and phone call notifications to the Cyclo 505 through a bluetooth connection. This seem to be occurring with other marshmallow nexus phones.
The developer has not as yet updated the companion app (cyclosmart) so that it is compatible with the marshamallow and as such it won't work at the moment. The phone app states when trying to pair with the 505 using the app that it 'Cannot detect your cyclo device' so it won't pair. I can pair using general BT settings outside of the app but the notifications don't work.
Previously I used the app with a sony xperia z3 running lollipop and it worked fine. The app and its purpose is relatively specialised but I wondered if there is anyway to get the notification back on the bike computer again. If you take a look at the following theread on the CycloGPS forum you will see that this issue has been going on for a while and it some have got it working with a htc m8 and nexus 7 running marshmallow.
I have contacted the developer and mio/magellan) and it not looking like it will get updated at the moment so wanted to try and find a fix myself I've tried many things but all without success.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Not an answer for you, but Garmin's fitness devices also have various BT and Wifi issues that are difficult to get working.
