Just wondering if anyone else has this problem. Sometimes when I turn my wi fi off and my 3G takes a long time to appear at the top and I ave no Internet connection till the icon shows up. It's like the modem gets locked up. Another thing it does is the arrow to the right under the 3G stays lit and I have no Internet connection also. That's all that happens. It just stays lit and the arrow on the left is not lit up. These arevthe two problems I have. When these problems occur my only fix usually is a soft reset. Anybody have any problems like this? Im on eclair stock rom just rooted. Thanks. I also get an error when trying to update firmware,prl and profile. It says internal error

Im currently using the imate rom 2.16.9.1.wwe Rom date 2/6/06 extrom version 0 2.16.9.101
It has been working fine for the past few weeks and the performane increase has been much better. I was also using the oush mail which also worked well. Then a few days ago I started to have a few problems with the phone, basically it would look as if it was working the lights flashing, however when I went to turn it on it wouldn’t turn on. The only way to resolve this si to soft reset the handset. This problem is now occuring on average 2 times a day! I havent even installed any new software!! Thwe only major incident before this started happening was I used skype twice! But havent used it since! I have also stopped push mail cause I thought this maybe the issue but it didn’t solve it!
Its so annoying cause I think the device is operating normally cause I see the flashing lights however it cant do anything cause it has frozen!
Any ideas???
I was thinking of going for a hard reset but if I restore my backup ive taken with spb will this not just reintroduce the problem?
just to add for further info i have no apps running and the
program memory is total - 44.01mb
in use 19.67mb and Free 24.34
thats after a soft reboot!!
This might be a really silly suggestion, so appologies if it is, but could it be just the backlight turned off for some reason so it looks like the device is off when it is actually on?
No, I don't think that it is the backlight as I am also now experiencing this same problem ... approx 1 - 2 time daily. You think that the phone is functioning until you try to use it. Only option is soft reset.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
no at present a soft reset is the only cure and even then it may occur again later on! Bluey HK are you using the same rom as me??? the imate one?
its done it twice already today and its only midday! the last time i was just browsing the web, closed the browser, then switched it off and then couldnt turn it back on! Do you think it may be a memory leakage issue????
This happened to me yesterday on my T-Mobile MDA. I am running the latest T-Mobile_RUU_Wizard_2210401_221_20710_ENG_US image from xelencin.
What appears to have triggered the problem for me was attempting to connect to T-Mobile's My Email app to download mailbox settings while the signal level is too low or intermittent (Wi-fi and Bluetooth were disabled).
The backlight would not turn on and I could observe the My Email app trying to access the server.
it sounds as though it may be a bug connected with a GPRS connection???
ahh its done it again, this time i wasnt doing anything just died! I think i am gonnna have to do a hard reset cause this is making the phone unuseable!
if i do a hard reset and then install a back up is there a high possibility that this will reintroduce the bug???
its not the backlight
my 8125 is having the same damn problem. its nto a backlight issue, as it just stalls, and the past 4 times its done it, i've just removed the battery and turned it back on as a soft reset wont work, and i can't it to react to any commands. this is either a software issue all our phones are dying. i was having this problem with summitter's previous 2.17 rom, then updated to the recent 2.17.11 aku 2.2 rom... thinking the upgraded rom is what it needed...NOPE... still crashed. almost all instances i believe are when the wifi connection was active. but i could be making that up, i'm positive on 3 occasions it was with a wifi connection active. but not too sure about the 4th.
this is making me insane, and we need to figure out whats up~!
to expound on the problem:
one time i was in the middle of checking voicemail, then tried to delete, but the screen wouldn't light up, and it wasn't responding to my option 7 to delete command. the other time was in the middle of a phone call. something's up....
i am having the same issue with my 9100, its running the latest offical rom, mine does it whenever it feels i dont believe it is wifi or gprs related as i have the problem at time when i have been using neither.
there does not appear to be a link to any software i am using either
any ideas?.
yea- i get the same sometimes, i go to take my phone out of standby and it wont do anything, the power button doesnt work- the light just flashes. sometimes it freezes on the today screen, the power button dont work or anything. really need to sort this!
any ideas? any1 else get this? its where u put ur MDA in standby, and next time u press power button 2 turn on nufin happens, but the leds still flash at the top!
yep i still get the problem! still no cure!
I have exactly the same problem... I just pick up my device from my pocket to use it, I press on the power button once but the device won't wake up from the standby mode. I wish someone can give us a cure.
Low Battery...
I had this happen to me once recently...for me it was becuase my battery was too low. Freaked me out, because everything looked good, but I would power on and get nothing! Right after it started it powered on for a sec then quit. I had to put it on the charger and leave it for a couple hours to get a good solid charge, then everything was fine. Hope this helps....
thanks for the response, unfortunately mine is definately not related to the battery charge!
mine hasnt done it in the last day, ive been leaving it a while before putting it into standby. i used to exit my app (messaging or whatever) and shut it off straightaway, but i give it a sec or 2 to make sure its all good
and its doin ok so far!
I have a 8525 that has WM6 upgrade to it. Haven't really done anything else to it except load a few games. But it's always had an issue where you can open internet explorer and when it says its loading the home page (in my case google), it comes up with a blank screen. Any address typed in comes up blank like it can't locate the internet, even though everything is on.
My only fix is a soft reset which while not horrible, is slightly annoying. I'm just wondering if I'm missing something or some setting.
Thanks,
I get that occasionally and the only answer I have found was to soft reset.
Happens on EVERY ROM I've used (5, 6, 6.1)
Second that... when that happens all other "Internet" functionality apperas to go away as well... soft reset is the only fix.
Bumping back up.
I've been having this problem for a while, however even a soft reset isn't correcting it anymore. It seems like the connection is good because i'm still able to download email and weather info, however in IE i'm getting nothing (using medianet, wifi seems to work fine). I've tried reflashing with a few different ROM's, however nothing seems to be fixing it. Currently running CRCs r12.7 and radio 1.40.30.00.
Anyone have any ideas?
Exactly the same thing happens to me. 1st load after soft reset all is fine in PIE, close it and next time this behavior is guaranteed to happen.
Weather & exchange sync are still working fine, just Internet Explorer ends up displaying blank ("opening" then blank page, properties show text with size of 0kb)
Did anybody come up w/ how to fix it?
Disable the proxy; it's interfering with the page loading.
Hi guys,
this is my first time using these forums and I wouldn't have done that if the problem was easily solvable. However, this is a major problem for me and I couldn't find a thread nor a solution to it, so I'll post it here.
I have the i9305 4G version of the S3. I have had it for about a month now, and it worked fine, up until now. The phone suddenly starts to restart itself (not reboot!) for about 10 seconds, then goes back to the dashboard.
The problem seems to be the WiFi. Right after I get the "Connected to ... network" message on the bottom of the screen, the phone vibrates immensely once, then everything freezes for a few seconds, then another 2-3 vibrations, before the Samsung logo comes up with the LED light on. After a few seconds again I'm back in the dashboard until I get the "Connected to ..." message, and so on the process repeats itself.
Turning off WiFi seems to solve the issue, but once I turn it on again the problem reoccurs.
Something else I've noticed is that if I have WiFi turned off and cellular data network (for instance 4G) turned on, the "4G", "H+" etc. logo does not appear, even though I'm connected to cellular data! Don't know if it can be related to my main problem.
I have tried everything I'm aware of. Unplugging the battery, factory reset and back up, hard reset, wipe cache pertition. After the factory reset I can use WiFi again, but only for a few hours until the problem reoccured. I THINK once my battery is fully charged the problem occurs.
Note: I haven't even touched stock ROM, kernel etc. Nothing is flashed. Phone is in the same condition as when it came out of the box. Android version: JB 4.1.1
I would be forever grateful if you could help me out here, I can't have a phone restarting itself and vibrating like crazy every 10-15 seconds.
(Sorry in advance if this was the wrong place for this thread.)

UPDATE:
Seems like my issue isn't just related to Wifi. Cellular data network was actually related to my issue, as I first feared. If Wifi is turned off and cellular data turned on, the same thing happens. Seems like the issue occurs every time I try to use the internet either way.
Anyhow, if I let the phone reboot itself without turning on or off anything at all, it will reboot about 5 times until either Wifi or cellular doesn't work anymore even though the status bar tells me that it is turned on!
This seems to be a serious connectivity issue and for the first time I'm suspecting interference with the phone's wireless network hardware. If none of you are able to provider an answer, I guess I have no choice but to hand it in to get it repaired or replaced.
Still noone who has a solution to my problem?

My solution to your problem would be to just bring it to whoever you bought it from and demand a replacement. That isn't normal behaviour.
you can boot into recovery and do a factory reset and cache wipe
if wiping does not solve your problem, just return your phone.
I don't know if this is related, but, I had this issue once (the cause is not wifi though), and samsung fixed (or replaced) my phone.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I'd wipe the phone and return it. This is not normal behaviour and should fall under warranty... Wiping might fix but this may happen again if there is an inherent problem with your handset....
So i remember that i just rebooted my device and next thing i know is, wifi is stuck with 'WiFi is turning on'
Things i have tried to fix it : factory reset, hard reset and when none worked, paid a visit to lg service centre where it started working automatically. Came home, worked just fine but for 2 days.
Now it's been a week. I even flashed stock rom thinking it might be 4.4 rom issue. And nnope. Sane issue. So i guess that means is isnt software issue.
BUT here's what happens. Same modem, mother's galaxy mega2 connects, her laptop connects. I today tried connecting my phone to her phone's hotspot and it connected in first try. Confusion is, i don't know if it's modem that's faulty or phone ( idk if software or hardware )
Also, i noticed when i try to turn on wifi now, it shows no connection available and the wifi icon in drop down menu keeps blinking without being blue. I think it should just turn blue even if there if no wifi to be detected. Sometimes it stops blinking and doesnt turn blue still
It's so confusing
Any help will be much appreciated !
hi, it has almost been two years, did you fix the problem meantime?
Title explains it all, but for some reason, my dad's note 4 has a strip along the middle of the screen where the touch screen stops working, but if the phone is powered down then back on, it's fine. The part of the screen comes back to life. What on earth could be causing that?
On a side note, it randomly looses cellular network connectivity, but connects to wifi just fine, we can't figure out what's happening with that. It'll show bars are connected, but it's unable to receive or send calls or texts for a while.
Anyone know any solutions to these problems?
some app running might be causing an issue

Boot your device into safe mode and see if it operates normally. If it does then start deleting apps from your device starting with the latest one you installed.
