Hi,
I have been having this weird problem with my internet connectivity for my Note 2 today. I dropped my Note 2 this afternoon, and there are luckily no visible signs of damages on the body. Up till a couple of hours ago I was out and using my data plan and there were no problems with the internet. However, now that I have connected to my wifi network, I am not able to open any website in any browser. Apps like facebook, xda app etc also are not able to connect. But some apps, like whatsapp and speedtest.org app are working as usual. There are no problems connecting to my local wifi either, and I can access my router as well - I just can't connect to the internet. I have other android devices as well, and they are having no such problems - all these apps on other devices can easily connect to the internet through the same wifi network.
Now, I think there could be two issues. Firstly, as the phone had been dropped, some hardware problem might've occurred. But as I am able to access internet through some apps (whatsapp etc) from my wifi I don't think this is likely. Secondly, some app/process might be blocking my browsers and the facebook apps access to the internet. But again, this too is unlikely as the browsers and facebook app can access the internet through 3g.
I am very confused as to what to do, and would be really grateful if one of you guys could help me with this.

Those who help noobs go to heaven. True story.

Hey guys hope you can help me. I've been using internet sharing for a while but since HTC's most recent OTA update I cant get it to work while on 3G/HSDPA - the laptop cant seem to communicate with the DNS servers and I get an exclamation mark in a yellow triangle by the connections icon in the system tray. When forcing the Desire to use GPRS it works well - although its very slow, obviously.
Interestingly 3G/HSDPA works fine on my Desire - I get emails and web browsing no issues there. I also noticed since the update that it takes an awful long time for the radio on my desire to start data connection (a good 30''). i guess both issues are related to the OTA update which, by reading comments on this forum seemed to create more problems than it solved. Any idea guys as to what tweak I could use to force the laptop to connect to the DNS servers when using 3G on my desire?
cheers
I have the same problem except that I can only share a wifi connection with my laptop and not the 3g connection or gprs. I don't think it's the update because mine happened before I had installed it. Do you think t-mobile could be blocking any ports or something?
why would they block 3G and not GPRS? And T-Mobile explicitly allow internet sharing with the right internet plan so i don't think they would block it.
I installed Double Twist both on laptop and device recently - since then I have uninstalled both - could these have impacted on the internet sharing thing?
Any other idea?
I'm not too sure to be honest, I tried to look at what programs I had installed since the internet stopped working, the only thing I had installed was peer guardian which I have now uninstalled and its now working. I don't know if it's just a coincidence but it's working.
Any other programs that you've installed that may cause any conflict?
it started working again as I travelled and changed city... so it may be a local cell issue...
Glad it works again for you too. let's see for how long lol

I've had the exact same experience on my t-mobile wildfire - > apply the OTA O/S update and Internet Sharing stopped working!!! (It worked fine before on Windows 7 and XP)
Grrrrr...
Anyone have any ideas?
I also read that a factory reset fixes the tethering issue in several places and will see how badly it fracks the phone up (or whether everything gets downloaded neatly again automatically) and report back here...
I have problem with my nexus, wifi is connected but I cannot access any internet. Sometimes interet works normal, then suddenly disappears, wifi is connected normal but there isnt internet
I tired wih other android phone, samsung galaxy ace, but same thing
But nokia n8 works normal, this dosnt happening
I do not know of which can be either the router or the phone
I tried to change settings on the phone and the router but nothing
If someone has an idea, I would be grateful to him
I had the same problem on my nexus, while the wifi worked fine on other devices. I flashed several different ROMS, to no avail, and resolved myself to believe that it was a hardware problem. Before flashing back to stock, I reset the Router, just for laughs. Problem solved. Make sure your wifi settings on android are correct, and try resetting your router. It's worth a shot. Which ROM are you on?
i tired several times with reseting router, even change settings, sometimes internet start to work but after 30-40 minuts stops again
i dosnt now what exactly ROM is on phone, becouse i just buy him
Without knowing the ROM, and at the risk of sounding like a tech support douche, maybe you should try a wipe/factory reset.

Hi,
I am new to dealing with the Android OS with my Galaxy Nexus, but I am thinking the same thing. My main concern is backing up and reinstalling all of my information, apps etc. I use Titanium backup pro for my backups but would like to know if my phone will be recognized when I try to reload all of my apps.
Thank you for your reply.

I have WiFi problems at my house. It shows that I am connected but no internet. I know is the router in my case.
I would test your WiFi somewhere else, such as Starbucks or Barnes and Noble.

Hi,
I have connection everywhere - Starbucks, home, Staples, Chapters/Indigo (Barnes and Nobles equivalent in Canada), even borrowing Wifi from unsecured home networks etc. but the disconnect is between the Wifi and getting my Internet to connect. Connection bars are all gray and at home very strong signal showing. This reminds me of connection problems I had with my laptops (running the MS OS of course), but in the Android OS I am a "newbie" and reading forums trying to figure what other people's connection problems are, and how they were solved.
There are no Wifi connection problems using my laptop (now) or my daughter's iPods, my wife's Blackberry Bold at home. My data works find, and I wish there was a roll back feature to the time just prior to the problem occurring last Thursday. My understanding is I have to completely restore my system, and this leads me to more questions about if I can reload all of my apps or if I will have to pay for them again. In the end, it may be faster.
I downloaded - per member recommendation - a Wifi analyzer and it shows that my home Wifi speed is excellent.
Thanks, I am always open to ideas to solve.
Do you know how to find the version of ROM on my Galaxy Nexus? I must look.

Anyone else experiencing very frequent issues with this app over 3/4g? Last few weeks has been tons of drops and not able to connect with strong signal. Never an issue over wifi. Anyone?
I notice drops even while using Sirius/XM on the Windows computer through Comcast cable Internet services. Not all the time, but from time to time I do get drops on both mobile app in Android and on Windows. This will happen through cable Internet and cellular services.

Just for clarification its not really a "drop" per say. More like "data connection lost" and somtimes can take many attempts at starting over before it actually connects. Other times lately it just does not wan to to connect after start up. Have not had these problems until recently. Have uninstalled, data wiped phone, resinstall and nothing seems to help. Doesnt seem to be the data signal since all other streaning type apps work fine at that same time.
You know what I am saying. Basically I believe it is Sirius/XM that is the problem. Not our devices, cellular services, Internet providers or the web version. And their satellite services are fine. But I think it is the demand on their web servers that is the problem. Sorry for using wrong terminology.
No issues using it for my gf and I

Must have been the app as the update I received yesterday has cleared all issues. Odd...
I am having a problem with the wifi in my house and my Verizon Note 4. Some apps load very slow such as YouTube, Inbox/Gmail, Instagram, and Google play music for example won't play music at all. I also sometimes don't get hangouts notifications on time. Fairly often I have to open the actual conversation thread for the messages to show up. The weird thing is other apps seem to work flawlessly; Falcon Pro, Reddit Now, Pandora and Google Plus all work with no issues at all.
It gets even more frustrating....
My nexus 7 (2013) and my girlfriends HTC One (M8) work fine connected to the same wifi network.
The issues on my Note 4 all go away when connected to the wifi at my girlfriends house or when on 4G at home.
This leads me to believe the Note 4 just doesn't like my wifi here at home. I feel like I have tried EVERYTHING... Forgotten the wifi connection, made sure all the advanced wifi settings are correct, reset my router, I have even factory reset my phone but nothing has changed.
If anyone has any ideas please help. It will be greatly appreciated!!!

I also have some wifi issues. I can maintain connection with the wifi, however, the connection 'degrades' after the a couple of seconds to minutes and after the phone goes to sleep. I tried the following:
1. Airplane mode on and off
2. forgetting wifi and resigning in
3. rebooting
4. factory reset
5. router firmware update (Verizon fios Actiontec m1424wr).
No success... I've connected to other wifi sources (at verizon store, public restaurants, and mobile hotspots) and it would maintain a reliable connection like usual.
I'm getting a replacement Note 4 from Verizon. If that doesn't fix it I don't know what will...

This probably won't solve your WiFi problem, but maybe while you are at home you can use the "download booster" function? If you have unlimited data, of course, because it will use your 4G if I'm not mistaken(?) s:
After trying numerous things I finally received my replacement Note 4. Turned it on and connected... no wifi issues at all. This meant that it was not an issue with my router and instead isolated to the actual phone itself.
Very happy that this worked, though unfortunately it isnt the quickest fix. I suggest turning it in for a replacement if all else fails
Hello,
I have some issues with a couple of Apps, especially Google Allo, as they say that they don't have an internet connection.
I have either Wifi or mobile data enabled and for both I can state that internet is fine as using most Apps and Browser is good.
I am a bit desperate what issue or cause this could be?
Did you manage to fix this? it began to happen to me as well since CM14.1
