POSSIBLE SOLUTONS for Sudden connection drop on Android build

I decided to rename the thread because it seems many people have this problem, and people are posting solutions that worked for them ..
Im using Android build : Mdeejay eVo Sense v. 2.3 rEVOlution
If you get a network problem, try doing one of these :
Enable Airplane mode, wait for a while, then Disable it. [tgtoys]
Get a program that shows CPU usage, and try killing each program one by one to identify which program is causing your network to hang. [Gushfevah]
--> Gushfevah mentioned that STOCKS was causing a problem, try killing this first.
-------> Gushfevah suggested using System Panel Lite, try using that and comment if it fixed your problem !
Try a Hot Restart, fixed mine once.
I dont take credits for any of the solutions that worked, thank the people who replied down here that tried to help me fix my problem.

Hello all,
Im using this android build : Mdeejay eVo Sense v. 2.3 rEVOlution
Can someone please tell me how to fix my network connection problem ?
It was working fine yesterday but it suddently stopped working today ...
It shows 2G with a green arrow pointing downwards and a white one above it pointing upwards ...
I cant use the market, email or weather.
For example, weather says :
CONNECTION ERROR :
Sorry, but the connection dropped while your weather information was downloading
Please help !!!

This is a known problem. All builds using PPP data are experiencing drops, search through the threads.
To temporarily fix put your phone in airplane mode and then turn back to regular.

i have problems with cellular signal too on the same version
although its a great build, i'm facing natwork drops and connection failiers, some off my calls are hunged during talk.
radio version 2.12.50.02_2

I changed to MDJ Froyo Revolution 1.5 yesterday (love the build BTW) and had this random problem. (white arrow up, green arrow stuck on down) My phone became verry laggy, Airplane mode didn't work to sort it out, and all i could do was restart the phone.
When it did it the 3rd time i used "System Panel Lite" to see what was running, and the CPU seemed stuck on 99%, i killed everything in the list, and straight away it was fine.
Next time it happened i once again opened up System Panel and killed apps one by one. The one that made everything ok was "Stocks" which automatically runs on start i presume.
I restarted again and waited to see if it did it again, sure enough after about 1/2 hour using various internet apps it locked up, so once again i killed the Stocks program and it ran fine again.
Thinking that quite obviously something was wrong with the Stocks application i went into the Sync settings and Stocks was not set to auto sync, but it had the white sync circle next to it as though it was trying to sync but hadn't completed.
Anyways, i manually synced it, and since then i've not had a single problem since last night.
I don't know if its a co-incidence, and i'm still trying my hardest to get the data to freeze, but it hasn't as yet after a good few hours using Internet related features.
Will keep you posted on this.
2.14.50.04 radio btw

@Gushfevah:
That's an interesting solution (sort off), I'm going to give that a go now!

Was pretty fine today ... Just a few hours ago, I lost the internet connection ..
Nothing is bringing it back again .. Im waiting for the internet signal to comeback so I can get System Panel Lite and check for a solution !
EDIT
When I check 4G in wireless and networks ... it says 4G failed ...
Is that the problem ?

POSSIBLE SOLUTION
Can someone try this when they have a problem ?
Plug your phone into the charger, then do a hot reboot ... it solved my network issue ! well for now atleast ...
I will try doing this again if it stops and reply back here with the results !

I think system lite panel is a good way to see whats using up the CPU for network data .. probably jamming up the whole thing in the process.
When I got my few mins of network availability, I rushed to the market place to get it .. Well until now I dont have any problems after I killed some apps using panel lite ..
Im going to add the on the first topic

Not had chance to reply again till now.
I used to use the Hot Reboot as it was the only was i could re-establish the data connection, as airplane mode wouldn't work when it froze.
Once i found i had the System Panel and realised what it did i decided it was worth a shot.
Not had any Data Drops so far, but i've been using WiFi mostly since, and reconditioning the battery.
Gonna keep an eye on the system panel, and may buy the full version for the logging an reports to see whats hogging the CPU if it happens again once i switch back on the Data.

[Q] No more vibration - Help!

Ok, so my phone will not vibrate at ALL anymore. I don't want to pay the $50 to get a new one, and I don't want to have to revert back to stock and unroot and take it to Verizon to see if they can fix it.
So here's the details of what happened. I don't know if it's fixable, but I thought I'd see if anyone could offer some advice.
I was running DL30 Blackhole, very basic. Had a theme installed over it. Everything was running perfectly fine for a while. And then I was getting on the internet to do something, and connected to wifi. The wifi was through my college, so you had to login on their homepage instead of just entering a password, and the page wasn't coming up, internet was being extremely slow. So I tried turning off mobile data to see if it might force me to login to the page for wifi. Turned of 3G. Nothing happened. Turned off wifi. Turned 3g back on. Then I got a google system force close error and my phone rebooted itself.... Now I have no vibration AT ALL. No hatic feedback, no vibration for notifications. Nothing.
There was nothing even related to vibration that should have happened in this situation, my phone just freaked out. Didn't drop it or hit it on anything at all, it was laying flat on a table. So I don't know if something just fried my phone's vibration or what, but I would love it if someone out there had a suggestion for me.

I'd try just following the steps to update to super clean 2.4. some kernels act up on your version and drop the vibration. It happened to me. 2.4 is running awesome

Yeah I forgot to put that in the first post. I actual did a complete system wipe. Back to stock DL09, flashed the EB01 modem, and SC 2.4 over it. And still no vibration. I did all that this morning.
Also had a weird glitch where after I installed most of my apps I tried to boot into recovery and instead my phone decided to do a data wipe again, but that wasn't a HUGE issue (as long as it doesn't happen again).

Try reverting back to stock again and prior to going back up to eb01 and superclean...wipe a few times.

I had a similar issue

I had a similar issue. I actually flashed my phone all the way back to stock. Still no vibrate. I think there could be an issue with the vibrate motor on the fascinate.
I say that because there was nothing I could do to bring vibrate back. All of sudden, it began working again for one day. After that one day vibrate and haptic working, it stopped working for another couple of days. Then, I dropped the phone on accident. Vibrate came back. Eventually, it stopped working again so I took the phone to verizon and they ordered me a new one.. No charge. I bought my phone in Sept 2010.
Good Luck!

Freezes overnight with my I9505 Galaxy S4

Hi Guys,
i got freezes when i charge it overnight (its connected to the original charger the whole night). I only can do a hard reset to use my device again because the touch-screen doesnt work then. This is very annoying because i use my device with Alarm to get up in the morning.
I already did a few clean installs (Cyanogenod Snapshots and Danvdh's Google Edition), wiped all caches and formated all data and caches aswell. I still got freezes. I get them from waking up my device (mostly in the morning between 5-6 am). All i see is a exclamation mark when i turn on the display. Then its frozen and i cant anything.
I already tried a few Modems and Kernels to test, but still freezes...
I use Modem I9505XXUGNK4 atm.
Any ideas ??? I really Need help with this !!!
Thanks

Have you tried the new 5.0 gpe from danvh? There was an issue with the charging animation and reboots.

yes, i got Dan's 5.0 gpe at the moment 12.17.2014

Dumb question, did you clear /system in between flashes as well?

Yes, i formated System and Cache + i wiped everything too

You should flash the latest stock firmware and see if the issue persists. If yes, try a different charger. If the problem still persists, I think it's a hardware problem. Probably battery or motherboard.

The Problem is only between 5-6 am. The whole day i got no Problems Should be a Problem with my Router maybe ?
i got no resets in my Settings there. maybe my Provider is doing a reset every day between 5-6 am and my device freezes then. i could try airplane mode too to test, right ?
I bought a new charger and battery today (both original). Maybe thats the problem.

i got News guys, i turned off wifi overnight an didnt plugged the charger to my device this night. No freeze !!! Yay !!!
So it only could be, charger, battery or Wifi, right ?

ok, i had a freeze at work a while ago. but i got no wifi or charger there... now i dont know what to do

Does it behave like this?:
You pick up the phone (it is in deepsleep),try to turn the screen on,it goes on,you try to unlock the screen and it just stops reacting to anything and turns the screen off after 20-30seconds?

i had the same problem,the only way to get rid of it is to send it in/get the motherboard replaced.this is faulty hardware,not a software problem

Damn, but i already got know activated. i dont get one for free Its about 1 and a half year old. The problem was solved a few snapshots form cm earlier and its only between 5-6 am. do you think its really a mainboard problem ?

how was your battery-lifetime with that build?
can`t help you with that,hope you have luck and fix it

Same problem
Hy people, i have the same problem, but is not a specific hour when it freez, yesterday i picked up the phone and when i unlocked the screen, it freezed, but i don.t wait 30sec, i just lock/unlock it again and it work fine. The other problem was overheating..
and randomly restarting but i think i fixed it with a factory reset. What i want to tell now is that i installed "Root booster" before all these problemsc ocured. After it played with the kernel, do you all thing it might not restored the original settings? My phone is randomly heating sice i installed that **** on it...(even if i do factory reset)
Ps: i have a stock kernel/gt_505
Or the battery is guilty? It's draing pretty fast, after a day of use i put it to charge
(Solved)

Hy, i haved the same problem, but what i did yesterday solved that. I hope this steps will help you:
1. Enter in Recovery Mode and select wipe data/factory reset
2. Clear cache partition
3. Go in Settings/More/App Manager and search for Touchwiz Home
4. Force stop then Clear data
5. Withouth exit from settings, restart your phone
6. When phone is on, screen will be black and will ask you witch program you wanna use, select Touchwiz home then press "always"
After this steps, i solved the problem for my phone, but another thing i done after that is delete all knox files with Titanium backup.
I hope this steps myght help you.

Thanks guys, but i got a nexus 5 now. Bye Samsung. Thanks anyway for help.

[Q] Wifi Problems

I updated to Lollipop 5 days ago on my Galaxy s5 and haven't been able to connect to wifi since. I tried forgetting the network, rebooting, checking power saving mode, powering up in safe mode, and I did a factory reset, but nothing worked. I can't find anything else to do. If someone could point me in the right direction or even say that I'm going to be wifi-less until I get another phone update that fixes it I'd appreciate it. This is incredibly frustrating and I don't know what else to do.

I was going to say factory reset because that works for me but try sending it back and getting a new one
will it connect and then drop the connection will WiFi not turn on because if WiFi won't turn on it could be something wrong with phone and needs to be sent back but if its not staying connected for me a factory reset usually fixes it

Thanks

I spoke with someone from Verizon and she said it must be a problem with the phone. I got a replacement sent to me. Thanks for your help

The Lollipop update is almost of phone killer. Horrible cell signal, wifi is rendered useless, battery drain x 100, and the lag.........My suggestion would have been to completely downgrade back to KitKat or install modem firmare from KitKat.

Unable to turn WIFI On.

Hi there, I had my phone for about 5 or 6 months where it was fine till recently.
The problem was that I am unable to turn the wifi on. in the main settings the slider is greyed out and a text is on screen saying turning on WIFI but it does not. it does not even show the list of networks. it quick settings it shows as searching but nothing is listed.
in the about phone settings it shows the mac address to be 02:00:00:00:00:00.
This occurred a few days ago but no new software was installed the most recent being a week before to the April security update.
I have tried multiple things such as turning on the airplane mode then off, switching phone on or off, safe mode, factory reset, wiping the cache, taking the sim out.
There has been instances where I am able to connect to a wifi network but it does not last long (few mins) except when taking the sim out which lasted about half a day. (tried again but did not work)
My phone is not rooted and has the stock rom.
There has been some research on this matter where people have done something with the presist(I think that is what it is call) folder but there was no result on it so I have not tried it due to wanted to keep the phone unrooted due to warranty concerns.
I would love some solutions in figuring out this problem.
Thank you for your time.
