I am having this strange problem where every time I connect to a wireless network my device lags terribly for a minute or so. This happens both when turning wifi on and when it turns itself automatically on when the screen comes on. This lag only appears to happen when the wifi first goes on and doesn't happen at all when the wifi is off. I notice that the wifi icon in the quick settings menu flashes orange for a second and then shows the network up/down arrows. I downloaded an app called my data manager to try and see what apps were using data, but it doesn't seem to be showing anything weird: Os services and settings used small amounts of data.
Could this be a hardware issue? I did drop and almost break my n7 a few weeks ago, but it has seemed fine since then.
Anyone?
Back up device, factory default, re-test.
Restore when done.
Do above to confirm that it's a h/w issue.

So yeah, I have been noticing that my Desire running on the latest MildWild software (and Cyanogenmod 7.2) for that matter has been trouble keeping it's connection constant on Whatsapp.
Basically, it stops 'reporting' when it comes to 'last seen'. Sometimes I have to turn off Wifi (It is mostly on Wifi, can't recall it being the same story on 3G but I think so too) to fix the connection. Other times it just reconnects after a minute.
This happens when the screen is turned off and back on.
It's getting a kind of annoying and I have no idea where to look. I've checked my modem and router and both are fine.
Anyone else with this problem? Any ideas how I can fix this? Also, Wifi Sleep Policy has been set to 'Never'.
the same galaxy s3

Few days ago my wifi connection went strange... All the time it was perfect, i did nothing new or anything to make it worse. Since then it was fast, quick response and everything. Most apps using internet connection working fine, but some applications or all behave unnatural , especially internet browser. I use ICS Browser on 4.1.2 JB , always. Was working perfect till now. Now its loading till half of progress bar and freeze or sometimes its progress bar goes to 1/10th and freezes. If I wait a long time it finally loads the page, or not. If I press back button and then forward button it loads the page normally. Some app behave the same. Cleaning cache, reinstalling apps won't work. Today I restored Nand backup and nothing. Backup wad made few months ago when internet was super fast. What could make it worse?
If I look on little arrows indicating upload or download under wifi signal strength, they are gray like no connection is made, and once in a while orange one (download) blinks for a second and then again gray for a long time. And it should be lit orange till page loads fully or app do what it needs to do.
I did notice the same using Google Play app. I tap Install and it says Downloading, but nothing happens, but if I cancel and tap install again it works nice. In browseri have to go back and tap link again to make it work fast.
No one have same issues?

Was there any change before you noticed the issue??
You may try turning off your modem and router for 1 minute. Then power on your modem and wait for connex link to become active, then power on your router. Sometimes storms cause equipment to go wonky.
One thing I noticed with old routers for DSL used to create multiple access points using the same SID and security to boost round our house.
That the old routers needed a wee tweaking to allow for newer devices to link properly. Something to do with WIFI sleep signals. I noticed it with Broadcom cards not keeping the speeds at 150mbps and slowly trickling down to 50 to 40mbps. Once I changed the advanced features of my routers (7500 series Westell), I connect at 300mbps and stay, and have no issues with deep sleep wake ups on WIFI.
There is nothing wrong with router. It is something else.
I've checked around and have seen other phones with the issue, but I've tried the fixes like forgetting network and resetting network settings. Ever since mm, every time my phone screen shuts off, it disconnects from wifi, kind of. I will still be connected jn settings, but it says no Internet available. I have to reconnect every time, and then it will work until my screen goes off again. I feel like this is killing my data since I don't always notice it. Has anyone had this problem and fixed it? I'm completely stock, no root or anything. Just did a factory reset a week ago and hoping I don't have to do it again since I'm finally set back up.
Have this issue with both wifi and mobile data. Mine doesnt matter whether the screens been off or not. Its like it goes to sleep periodically no matter what. Never had the issue until the latest update. Its not tied to a specific app, so its either the radio or a bug in the phone.
I have AICP on my L710, but, lately it has ben acting strange. I use it with FreedomPop so I don't have a lot of data and am trying to set it do auto updates and the like over wifi. I have these settings set this way in Play and on the phone. I'm also noticing that the phone is sometimes stopping on its own and rebooting. Somethings it goes through a long animation and is doing a lot of updates, other times reboots, but, I don't see it updating any apps. It seems to often happen when I'm in my car (not connected to a mobile network) while a USB cable is attached for power. I just want to listen to music that is stored in my phone and I wind up having it stop and reboot.
I have also noticed that the phone is using up my very limited mobile data in just a few days. I see it is the OS that is what is using all this data.
I know this month a few days ago at the beginning of the cycle I had it set to restrict background data, play was set for only update over wifi, etc. I also installed a better data usage monitor. Today I got a warning that I had used over half my allotment of data. While looking things over, I found that restrict background data for mobile network was no longer checked. I'm guessing this got reset back to non-restrict after an update that I didn't initiate.
So I have a few questions:
What triggers the auto update to reboot on it's own? I imagine the files and what not are downloaded when on wifi as they should, but, the actual reboot to initiate the installation seems to be happening on its own. Is there some setting to ask if I want to update now I could switch on to have some control over this?
It seems like this auto rebooting seems so be happening with a USB cable plugged in. I was wondering if maybe the connector is getting bad or something mechanical is causing a short or long an causing this. I can sort of understand something like that causing it to shut down, but, it doesn't seem like it would reboot automatically.
Finally, is there some way I can set it specify restrict network data on every bootup. I have looked at boot manager, but, this only allows me to specify what apps start. Is there an app that includes system settings that I could install? This seems like it would just being doing the same thing that changing the setting on the OS restrict background setting checkbox. It seems like it should be persistent.
Or maybe there is a bug in the ROM, that is overwriting this setting when it does an update?
Anyone have any ideas on what might be going on, what I can check and do to fix this?
TIA
Hi everyone,
I have 2 Galaxy S8+ from Verizon and here are my issues:
Past issues:
One of them did not come with the Galaxy Apps store (Not the plays store), and that phone also experienced the DQA issue
Current issues:
If I turn on Fingerprint gestures, the fingerprint sensor will stop working, this was an issue I had from the day I got the phone and has continued even through the updates. Here's a thread I made about it a while ago : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/help/fingerprint-sensor-t3595614
My internal speaker has detached, or at least I think that is the issue, as sometimes when I am in a phone call and shake the phone just a little bit, it will either start making a weird buzz sound or completely cut off the sound. Shaking it again will fix it, that's why I think it's a physical issue. I haven't dropped my phone and just in case I ever do, I have a case and a screen protector on it, and neither of them (phone, case, screen protector) have any damage marks on them.
The Biggest Issue: Currently this is the most annoying bug I am experiencing is that whenever I go to lock screen and security in the setting app, it crashes the settings app. I also can't use the search function in the settings app, as it crashes the app withing a few seconds. The lock screen and security is the only menu in which I experience this, I am 99% sure this is due to me turning on Secure startup. I had it turned on a few days after I got the phone and it worked great, I had to turn it off once, about a month ago in order to get a quicker boot. After that I was experiencing issues turning it back on (meaning I turned it on, rebooted the phone and it would not work) , after some persistence, I was able to get it to work and it has worked and still works.
One thing to mention is that I had done the most recent system update, I am not sure this issue was caused by at, since the inability so search in the setting menu has happened prior to the latest update.
I have tried everything other than a full factory reset (wiping all cache, wiping apps cache, reset setting, reset network settings), which I refuse to do, It is absolutely unacceptable for me to pay this much for this phone and have so many issues with it, I have factory resetted my phone (Samsung's recommendation) in order to fix the first issue listed above, multiple times and it did not work.
At this point I really don't know what to do, Samsung support has been useless in this, I don't wish to replace my phone right now as I need it to much to even give up for one day, If anyone has any advice/fix other than factory resetting, I'll happily try it.
Thank you,
GGgamer16
Sounds like a factory reset is needed. I just tried all you mentioned with zero problems on the newest update w/ navbar options and experienced none of that. Speaker problem is most likely hardware related.
Anyone had any luck getting rid of the wifi disconnect? The issue where wifi disconnects showing a ! next to the wifi symbol on the status bar?

You try changing your WiFi channel? Using 5ghz or 2.5ghz? I use Wifi 100% of the time I'm home and never have any issues with disconnects.

Yeah I have tried changing channels. It didn't matter. I'm on 2.4 GHz.
I found a possible fix from another forum. I changed my wifi encryption from wpa2 AES/tkip to wpa2 tkip only last night and was rock solid after that point. I didn't have any more wifi issues... Just wanted to mention this change for other people. I usually got 5+disconnects every night. I'm gonna try just the AES option tonight and see how it acts.
