Microcell block email

There have been a myriad of issues with the Galaxy's, probably because of the various OS versions. Have you recently updated the phone or modified it in any way?

You are correct in that the MicroCell is primarily for voice. But if you have WiFi off, it will try to send data using the 3G spectrum, which is terribly slow (3.0Mbps max, or thereabouts) and spotty.

It sounds like the phone has difficulty sharing connectivity between your router and the MicroCell and gives priority to voice and not data. You can try a hard reset on the MicroCell, which puts it back to factory defaults and will force it to do the Initial Acitvation all over again (see my Tech Guide, link in my sig), or Reset Network Settings on your Samsung or what ever the equivalent of that would be.

Thanks for the reply:

1.  no updates on the S5

2.  wifi NOT off

3.  tried reset on the Microcell and that didn't help

Guess I should have stated in original post, there is a Galaxy S4 and Iphone 4S which have the same problem.  Sorry about that.

Ok. Is this a new MicroCell? What kind of internet connection do you have and how is the MicroCell setup?

Microcell is fairly new, about 1 1/2 years old.

Internet from AT&T Uverse "Max"

Followed "setup" instructions from AT&T, with only option changed is the "handoff".

There are 7 phones allowed to be connected.  2 live in house, others visit.  And I know

there are only 4 allowed at any one time.  I've reset it several times and only allowed one

phone while checking the email and mms.  I've given up on the email and mms to have

stable voice communication.  Just thought there might me someone here that knew of

a fix.

Did the problem exist from day one of MicroCell use or is this a recent event? Did you enable or disable hand-off? You didn't really say.

Problem has existed from day one.

Handoff is disabled.  ( but problem exists whether enabled or disabled ).

I will link your issue to the Samsung group and see if they have an idea.
