Hey All, I just got Motorola Moto M XT1663 indian version and I need help with 3 problems:
1. I'm getting ads on my phone screen despite deleting almost all the apps on the phone. I was unable to find any app that is displaying ads as soon as the phone gets connected to the internet.
2. My Wi-Fi connection disconnects automatically with no apparent reason. I have tried turning off Wi-Fi scanning as seen in another video but no luck. Wi-Fi connection just disappears and will not connect back unless done manually.
3. I'm not getting "system updates" option under settings->about phone.
Additionally, I have performed a hard reset on the phone but it also didn't help.
Any help will be really appreciated.

I need your help everyone. My brother is using the Galaxy S II running ICS 4.0.1 that was bought along with my S III and it is acting up. GSII is running stock ICS, and still in stock configuration. Phone is not rooted or messed with in any manner. The phone connects and stays connected to the Home Network, but data transfer stops after few seconds. All the other devices at home (laptops, PC, other phones) stay connected and works fine. Home network is through Century link and wireless is through actiontec modem and wifi router - http://www.actiontec.com/products/product.php?pid=264#.UOyOPB3aI7s). He has been using this phone with no problems with the same wireless network for almost 4 months and this issue started almost a month ago. I have no idea why it went wrong all of a sudden and not had any luck in finding a solution from all my research.
Problem: When WiFi is activated, it will connect to the home wireless network and will work for few seconds. As soon as background activity that requires data stops, the WiFi stops working. If I am browsing or a video is playing on Youtube, it will stay connected, but as soon as I exit out of the application that is pulling data, it stops working. I have to turn it off and back on again for it to work, but this issue repeats. From looking at the signal bars for WiFi, its full (I was sitting next the router) upload arrow blinks once in a while but noting on the download. None of the apps are connected to the network. Browser will show loading for a while and then displays no network connection message. I tried google play, youtube, third parts apps etc. to ensure its not just the browser. When I turn off the WiFi, the phone seams to download a bunch of messages and updates that was not being pulled for a while. My GSIII connects fine with the network and it works fine even after being idle for hours. I have no idea what is going on and would really appreciate any help. I am close to calling Samsung and T-mobile, but thought I will try here first as we all know how easy it is to deal with those guys.
Things I have tried so far: I have tried all of the following based on suggestions I read from other forums I found through google search.
1. Factory Reset the system: FAIL. After the reset was complete, I waited for everything to finish loading and then I connected to WiFi by inputting all the necessary details. Same results, will work for few seconds and stops.
2. Restart the Modem and Router: FAIL. I do not think it is modem or router related issue as my S III seams to connect and work fine.
3. Turn off the security for wireless network: FAIL. Same result as above.
4. Try different encryption: FAIL. Same result as above.
5. Forget the Network and redo: FAIL. Same result as above.
6. Change the IP address to Static in advanced settings for the network: Worked for a while and then this stopped too.
7. Change WiFi sleep policy: FAIL. Changed it to " When device sleeps", "Never" and "Always", does not make any difference.
8. Third party apps suggested by everyone: FAIL.
This is where I am at right now. I have tried to include all the information possible. Please ask me if any other information is needed.
Last resort ... try a warranty replacement.
Is the phone experiencing the same issues with other wireless networks (coffee shops, McD's)?
[Fixed]
The issue was not with the phone, but with the router/modem. This was the century link modem with wifi and router from walmart that was bought for $99. Its an actiontech router with built in modem for century link. This does not work and dont bother purchasing it. I ended up buying the NETGEAR DGND3300 RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router with Built-in DSL Modem from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001UHMB5O/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00) for a 30 dollars more, but it works. Only extra step was that i had to call century link for my username and password that needs to be entered during the setup procedure. The actiontech from walmart did this automatically (mainly because this was a century link branded product).

Hi all
A search of the forums revealed 5 potential threads similar to this but not quite (not same symptom, phone, modem ...)
Keep loosing mobile data connection...
I have installed X-note 3 and found that my mobile internet is intermittent particularly in Youtube where I frequently have to click "No connection , Retry" or "Connection to Server lost, Retry" and in Play Store and Gmail where the problem tends to occur on a screen unlock after it has been unused for a few minutes - about 3 to 5 mins.
I dont believe this is a ROM issue because I d/l various ROMS such as Revolution, Alliance, PacMan, Paranoid and still I get the problem.
I tried installing all 9 of these radios here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2044937 to no avail.
Also notice that if I set Network Mode to "GSM only" then this makes no difference to the problem (the default is "GSM/WCDMA Auto" which is what I've set it back to)
WiFi works fine.
Any ideas?
same issue here.
a lot of time trying to know why this happen. and i think it is due to fast dormancy.
the phone usually stays in standby in 3g... when you request some data it will automatically turn h or h+. Here is when you will notice the internet moving.
But unfortunately if you have some.coverage issues you can have this problem and then the programs instantly report no conection. If you insist you will see you can obtain connection. 5 seconds later 3g will appear again
It does not mind you will see the bars of coverage at maximum... if there is no quality signal you will have this problem.
I just have this problem at work. Not in other places.
But if you want a constant connection I recommend to keep for example online music while navigating...this will avoid the issue...unfortunately you will increase your data plan..
Yes!! This is exactly what happens.
So it can't be my specific phone but perhaps a hardware design or software issue. I don't recall this I happening before I rooted
Weird
Fixed it - so far at least
Fast Dormancy is the problem. It was enabled by default and I have turned this off. The connection is now fine and seems to be "always on". For me this is okay because I do not have any data limits or pay per MB for data. I do notice that new connections take a little longer to start (for example, time taken to access internet when opening up an app that is not currently running) . This is not noticeable for apps already running (in the background)
This explains ....

Hi All,
I am still lumbering on with an old HTC Desire running CM 7.07282011-Nightly and have had no real issues up until a couple of days ago.
Whilst in France (not that that make a lot of difference) the Wi-Fi access stopped working and the phone stopped being able to see any Wi-Fi networks. Basically, it switches itself off after around 30 seconds and cannot pick up any networks. In addiiton, the WiFi MAC address shows as unavailable although teathering via a WiFi hotspot works fine. I was switch between teather and normal Wi-Fi when the problem occurred.
If I go into Settings --> Wireless and Networks -->WiFi setting, then switch on the Wi-Fi, I get the "Turning on" message but then a Sorry warning saying "Application Settings (in process com.andriod.settings is not responding" and I can either "force a close" or "wait". If I wait, the Wi-Fi will simply switches itself off after about 30 seconds.
I did read in another post that this might be to do with the Wi-Fi sleep status but I tried all 3 options (from the menu in the Wi-Fi setting page) but that didn't do anything.
The issue appears to be that that phone has lost the Wi-Fi adaptors MAC address (says unavailable). However, I can still use Wireless Tethering and connect to to the phones WiFi hotspot. I think something has go screwy with the Wi-Fi tethering and Wi-Fi access (as I was switching between both when on my travels), but I need some help in trying to fix it.
Any Help Welcome
Chris
I tried updating to cm-7-20130301-NIGHTLY-bravo (whuch was the last release version), but still no joy.
Any help welcome
Well, after trying pretty much everything, I had to run a factory reset on the phone. Finally, my Wi-Fi is working again. Of course I now have the ball aching job of setting the phone up and re-installing all my apps again. Google restore is pretty rubbish
Looks like there must have been a config setting that got screwed somewhere. I did take a backup of the ROM and if anyone knows where this might be resolved, I wouldn't mind restoring.
Out of the blue, my WiFi stopped working. I know occasionally this happens and is usually fixed by simply turning WiFi off then on again our by unplugging the router for about ten seconds, but neither of these methods is working this time. This is different, I'm stumped. (By the way I have the SM-P600)
So, the error message I'm getting is, "failed to obtain IP address", then if I click, "RETRY" I get an error message that says, "Network disabled because internet connection is too slow." Which doesn't make sense because all my other devices on my WiFi network have no problems connecting and have no speed issues.
Really, really frustrating. Any help would really be appreciated! Thanks!
The same problems occurs frequently with my tab P-601.
But I have to restart the tab and it works fine. I have to use mobile data for internet connection instead of wifi.
I appreciate any help.
Anybody else have this happen?
I haven't had this problem on my P600, but have had something like it happen on other devices. I think the issue is that Android will remember and avoid WiFi APs with a poor signal. When I am on the fringe of my home WiFi the signal is weak and my network gets blacklisted. To clear the blacklisting I have to force the device to forget the network, the connect again as a new network.
Couldn't detect WIFI
I updated the Android 4.4.2 and since then my tablet couldn't find my WIFI.
My phone and my computer found the network normally but my tablet just showed some of my neihbors' networks. I tried to restart the tablet and reset the router but didn't help.
Now I tried changing he router's settings through my computer and set the frequency to a higher value and now my tablet finds and connects to the WIFI normally!
I don’t use the MS-T800 that often so when I do there are a bunch app updates. Last night was no exception. This time as the updates installed at some point I kept getting a popup showing a connection to my D-Link DIR-655 access point. I then saw that it was affecting my phone as well and even the network. I’ve had the MS-T800 for over a year and never had this issue. With the MS-T800 off everything is fine but when it is on and wi-fi is enabled my D-Link DIR-655 access point keeps resetting every minute or so.
I’ve reset the network settings but it’s still doing it.
Bump.
