I'm having some strange 3g hiccups lately. I'll elaborate.
sometimes while browsing etc the phone will hang on 3g connections (eg does not even resolve DNS). the data connection icon keeps cycling the 3g and H symbols; at each new symbol switch the upload and download arrows seem to 'do something' for some instants then they fail and start the cycle all over again. I don't even seem to find a way to resolve the issue as putting the phone in airplane mode for some time does not help, and neither disabling 3g networks for a couple minutes. I also tried a reboot which did not help. The only working solution seems to be patiently wait till it works again.
I would not swear on this but I think this issue started when I flashed stock 360. I am however 100% sure that this was not happening, say, a couple months ago.
I am not even sure there is a problem with the phone, there might as well be some problems with the carrier.
anyone experienced anything similar?

Recently my wifi has become erratic. If I try and open Market, Dolphin Browser, etc., they don't respond and tell me to retry. It shows an active wifi signal in the bar across the top but does not connect. I have to turn off wifi and let the 3G/4G take over. However, if I power off the phone and restart, then it will work fine for a while. The phone is unlocked and rooted and is running the stock ROM.
Any advice?
I am running Liquid Smooth 3.2 for months now. I format it regularly just to get a new sense of speed after downloading junk i shouldnt have to begin with. Recently i have been formating to fix my WiFi issue. It seems like when i connect wifi (turn it on) it simply doesnt connect (it doesnt turn from grey to white or blue) it just stays grey. WHen i look at the list of wifi available it says its connected but i receive no data. After a while it seems to syncronize and the wifi works. I used to think if i turn on 4g and wifi together it seems to speed it up. All speculation, the only fact is WiFi isnt working upon engaging it. Reboot fixes it untill i turn wifi off (or it the AP goes unavailable for extended period of time, it doesnt seem associated with turning it off and on.)
Any suggestions? I have tried backdating to .09 radio. It doesnt seem to fix it.
I have a bizarre problem that just started happening, I can't connect to mobile network after using a wifi connection for some time. No matter what I do, the S6 edge won't connect.
I've tried switching mobile connection on and off, restarting the phone, turning the phone off and back on, switching sim cards with another phone (the other phone immediately gets connection), switching airplane mode on/off. I've gone to Samsung and my mobile provider and they have both blamed each other (of course, right?). The most frustrating part is that this happens about 50-75% of the time with my home and office wifi, and almost never with anyone else's wifi (for example trying it in the Samsung store). It will sometimes get a connection 10-15 minutes later, sometimes it takes several hours.
Samsung service has offered to take the phone in to 'review and test' but they need to do a full wipe and it will most likely take several days of testing. Knowing that the problem is almost impossible to replicate outside of my home and office, and the issue goes away by the time a service tech will ever see the phone, and the struggle to back up and restore my apps without root, I'm not sure what to do right now. Temporarily I have turned off wifi and just use mobile connection, but I'll hit my monthly data cap really soon.
This started happening 2 weeks after AOE4, just upgraded to AOE8 and it still happens. My phone is SM-G9250 with Taiwan ROM.
Screenshots attached to show I have good signal strength but not data connection, and the SIM in another phone having a connection (Zenfone 5 with lollipop).

Did you try wiping the cache?
I thought the cache is wiped whenever you do OTA update?
I'll do it manually again right now and see if it helps. Thanks for the tip.

I have the same issue! Very annoying, and miss phone calls all the time or am unable to make them because of this...
Will try the cache wipe
Wiped the system cache from Boot, problem still there.
I also wiped the cache for all apps.
I also tried the phone in safe mode and has the same problem.
Sent from my SM-G9250 using XDA Free mobile app
So the only work around I can find is to go into settings:
1.) 'Mobile Networks'
2.) 'Network mode'
3.) Switch to 3g/2g (I don't have 4G right now, have to pay extra for it)
4.) go to 'Network operators'
5.) 'Search Networks'
6.) choose my network provider
Now the phone works just like it always did, smoothly switch between wifi and 3G and H/H+
I'm not sure what changed as I have never had 4G since it costs me extra.
How the bug works:
So I can be connected to my wifi, surfing the web, on youtube or anything else. But all of a sudden my phone disconnects me from my wifi. Now, this in itself is quite frustrating as usually I'm in the middle of doing (please note though that it has also happened plentiful times whilst I haven't been using it too) something and it takes a few minutes to realise that it had happened. But unfortunately, this isn't the end of it. When I go to reconnect to my wifi I press it and nothing happens. Literally nothing. No animation, no sound and it never connects it just refuses to. So then the next logical solution is to turn off my wifi and turn it back on so it re-connects. And it works it connects to my wifi. But about 30 seconds later it will disconnect again. Sometimes though when it disconnects, it does state that an authentication error has occurred. But back to the bug. Then when pressing it nothing happens again. So I have to turn off my wifi and turn it back on usually 4-5 times before it finally stays connected.
This bug usually happens twice a day and is very frustrating, so again any help would be amazing!!
What I have tried:
- Turning off the device does not work. The bug is still present
- Using WPS to connect works sometimes but is very hit and miss
- setting my wifi to stay on whilst the device is sleeping
- wiping all network settings
- wiping all wifi settings back to default (in the router that is)
- Factory Resetting
Some other things to note:
This bug has not always been present. It has only started to occur within the past two months and I have had this device for 2 years now. I have not changed any wifi or device settings for it to happen. And it just started one day.
My dad's S6's wifi is completely dead.. I click the toggle switch and no networks show up.
Also tried clearing cache, resetting network settings, and even factory reset.
I think the WIFI antenna is dead/dying?
Just happened out of the blue as well..
Perhaps a root and new rom will fix?
