Ever since I installed the Wifi based TW ROM I have had issues with the wifi stopping. The issue continues with the official rom (with root and deoxed). It is set to be on in software but says disconnected. If I reboot device it works fine again.
Anyone else have this issue? I am very close to going back to stock even though I like the new way of doing notifications.
Same problem here. Simple way to solve it to enable and disable Airplane Mode... But yeah.. its really annoying. So any fix would be very helpful.
I've had the same problem recently. Did either of you install the free wifi server app that the Amazon store offered a day or two ago? That's when it seemed to start so I just removed it so see if that fixes my issue... here's hoping!
Same problem here, but it just started the day before yesterday. I've had Touchwiz since a day or two after I bought the device (almost two weeks). Hadn't thought to toggle airplane mode, thanks for that tip. Beats power cycling every morning.

I had similar issue with the stock Galaxy rom. Since the TouchWhiz update however, it has been running extremely well.
So after uninstalling the WiFi File Explorer Pro my WiFi has worked fine without any connection issues. Just like before and after TW. I also had a weird issue that wouldn't recognize finger presses on the lockscreen after waking up once every 10 to 20 times.
If you installed this app or something similar it might be worth a shot to remove it.

I have same thing but untouched vibrant. No root.
It has re-booted three times already since i got it (i.e. last two weeks)
The reason it is re-booting is because kernel is crashing. The reason is still unknown.
It could be GPS driver crashing the kernel or faulty hardware.
Best options is to replace the phone or wait for Froyo and hope this problem goes away.
Hi all,
I'm experiencing an issue on my stock 4.1.1 Nexus 7. The screen seems to be turning itself on randomly. It normally turns off again but may toggle on/off quite a few times. Then it seems to go for a while whitout turning on. Bit odd.
Anyone else experienced this or have any thoughts on a reason for it?
Thanks
Same problem here, except with a Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
I just updated to 4.1.1 today and this is the first time I've seen it happen. Was previously on 4.02 without issues.
I have had the same problem. It seems to happen in the evening and I wondered whether the case was causing it to overheat. Seems to be OK when I take it out of the case. I phoned Google and was told that it hadn't happened before. I will contact them again if it doesn't get any better.
Sorry. Misread the post. Mine goes to sleep, not turns on

Same here but mine is not exactly stock.
I have installed Apex Launcher plus numerous apps. I thought maybe it was the launcher doing it. But at this point... I have no idea. Just noticed it tonight coming on and then going off within 1 sec. but its random. it may do it once within an hour, or it may do it up to 5 times within a min... then go several minutes completely black screen. Crazy stuff. I thought maybe it was getting a message at first but then realized I had the WiFi off on my phone so it was dead to any incoming messages/wifi. I am really curious as to what is causing it and will be following this post as well as others quite frequent. Also.... the latest app that I have downloaded was OSMOS HD. it wasn't waking then sleeping before that app... just my 2 cents.
Hi Qbensis,
By stock, I just mean not rooted and not running any custom firmware. I had various apps and the like installed.
I have actually since rooted my N7 and installed a few custom ROMs and since then have not seen the issue at all. If you want to stay stock, I assume the issue will be fixed in the next update
I have seen this a few times. Middle of the night I look over and the screen is on then off. I check the power usage overnight and I see little blips of screen on when looking at the graph. Not sure whats causing it (I figure a app).
Same Problem over here, any solutions???
I'm on stock 4.1.2 and having the same problem, not rooted. Creeped me out in the middle of the night when it goes on and off.
N7 Random Turn On
Same here on 4.2.1. I carry in front pocket all the time with screen facing leg and feel heat when it happens. Has even done it when in Power Off mode and still does it. I thought that would prevent it for sure. Very irritating and drains battery. We Winter in 55+ community and drive around in golf carts. I am starting to wonder if WiFi spots trigger it. Will continue to track behavior and search other forums. Curious that there have not been any solid suggestions or solutions.
Happens to my rooted but stock 4.2.1. It happens randomly when I recharge using a battery pack (4AA) as opposed to charging using regular AC. It's annoying as heck! I don't know how to get this fixed!
I've been getting this on both SmoothROM and raspbeanjelly, and it's very irritating.
It has to be an app that is causing this. I initially thought perhaps it was GPS Status, because I caught it in the notification bar a few times when the screen turned on.
My device definitely isn't hot when it happens.
I'm suspecting the Email app, Maps, or Facebook.
EDIT - not any of them either. I'll test Beautiful Widgets next.
Okay guys, try this.

I'd been suffering from this for weeks, factory reset, reinstalled and changed out ROMs, installed apps one by one over the course of several days to keep an eye on what might be triggering it etc. Nothing worked for more than 2-3 days at most, and the issue always came back in one way or another.
It was causing me to have to turn the Nexus off when not in use because it would be draining battery (15-20% overnight compared to 2-3% when the issue wasn't present).
Then I stumbled upon that guide and using Gemini I disabled Maps from auto-running, turned off Latitude, and so far so good.
If it works for you too, be sure to hit thanks on Karpfenhai's post!
I was having this same problem on my Nexus 7 running stock 4.2.2 rooted with SuperSU. Finally tracked it down to having installed BetterBatteryStats and for some reason, I had not granted it perpetual root. It was causing the device to wake and turn the display on for random times (up to 13 hours, which killed the battery), not always showing the SU request dialogue. I granted perpetual SU privilege to BetterBatteryStats and problem went away.
Try taking out the battery and clean out the USB port with a toothpick. This worked for me. All the dust that accumulates in the post can cause the phone to think it's charging.
I have Wi-Fi problems with 4.3. Seems to disconnect and be sluggish at downloading. Anyone else?
Also seen some strange flickering sometimes in apps.

I'm having the same issue with the Wifi connection being dropped on both my Nexus 10 and Gnex with 4.3, both were Ok yesterday but have started acting up this afternoon
EDIT: Ok it seems the problem was with my router! Guess I should have checked that beforehand!
I have experienced something similar. Reported in this tread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2384328
I have not noticed that I drop wifi but notice in Chrome (99% of table use is with Chrome) that sometime when I click a link, open a bookmark, or a direct URL that it sometimes just sits and spins for anywhere between 5 and 60 seconds. I never get a timeout and indication I have lost network but it takes forever. Its really random, some pages load extremely fast (few seconds) but sometimes those same urls load really really slow. Don't notice this on my phone (on wifi) or computers and never noticed it on my N10 with 4.2.2. I did a full wipe and installed the 4.2.2 image then accepted the OTA yesterday to see if that would fix it. I'm not sure yet. It seems better but I had a least 1 case where is was slow again last night. This could have been the website so I need some more time to determine if it's fixed...

Although early in the experience curve, on my system You Tube videos are constantly stopping and restarting, waiting for the stream. I rarely experienced that with 4.2.2 so am hoping it is a issue that resolves itself.
Interesting... I find that WiFi has improved on my Nexus 10. At home, my Nexus would drop the network connection periodically and then reconnect about 5 seconds later. So far on 4.3 I haven't seen this happen.
I have no problem with WiFi on 4.3
I've had WIFI issues for as long as I've owned my N10. It just recently stopped working (couldn't reply in hangouts) so I turned off WIFI. When I turned it back on, it would just say authentication error. I had to reboot the N10 to get it to reconnect.

I noticed the ytube issue too. I changed from auto to 2.4ghz under advanced and so far seems better but not sure yet..
Well no luck with 2.4Ghz. The issue is very sporadic, sometimes everything works great and but then all of a sudden Chrome takes forever to access a new url. I have determined it's not Chrome, it's just that is what I mostly use on my tablet. I have seen this several times in Youtube and so when this happend i grab my phone (on wifi) to see if it could be network related but everything works flawlessly on my phone. I started doing some speeds tests to help troubleshoot this issue and the wifi performance is across the board whereas it's very consistent on my phone wifi. When I had one of these delays last night I immediately switched over to my speedtest.net app and it reported that it could not access the internet! My wifi signal indicator never indicates that I have lost wifi. Definitely something strange going on here. I have already factory wiped my tablet twice (originally going to 4.3 and after to troubleshoot this issue) and it never happened on 4.2.2 or on my Phone wifi there had got to be an issue with Wifi on 4.3. Just wonder why more people are not having issues. I might try swapping out my WAP but considering all worked great on 4.2.2 and it currently works fine on my phone wifi that would frustrating if it turns out to be my wifi.

Followup: The YouTube slowdown continued and after a few hours the internet connection became so slow that it would take several minutes to load a single web page. My internet connection on my Mac acted normally during this time. In the end I could not even get text pages to load in the XDA app. After rebooting several times, cleaning caches, turning wifi off and on, cycling thru the wifi advanced options and flashing the Monkey kernel I finally gave up and restored a Rootbox nandroid backup. My roadmap to the 4.3 install was: formatting all memory (including data/media), restoring my rooted stock 4.2.2 nandroid backup, and then fastbooting the JWR66V from JDQ39 OTA zip file. I then re-rooted by installing Chainfire's Update-SuperSu-v1.43.zip. I have no idea what I did wrong with the installation but will wait with 4.3 until updated 4.3 custom roms become available. Currently I am very satisfied with Rootbox so waiting is not an issue.
Has anyone with those problems tried to turn on/off WiFi optimizations in advanced WiFi settings?

Yes, tried that and it didn't help. I'm now torn between going back to 4.2.2 or staying on 4.3 cause I just picked up a Miracast adapter... Man i hate it when they create new bugs with things that had no issues in the first place!
I figured out that my laptop makes the wifi on my nexus VERY slow.

Hi Guys,
I'm not sure if this is related to 4.4.2 or its a hardware issue, I've only noticed this issue this week.
When I wake my N10 and if I flip the screen around before unlocking it, it will hang and reboot.
It happens every time after putting the N10 to sleep for a few mins.
If I unlock it without rotating then flipping the screen around its fine.
Has anyone else had this issue? Anyway to fix it?
Hi
Just did it and it worked fine for me, I'm also running 4.4.2... You may want to try a factory reset before issuing this as a hardware problem

on the same boat
Same behavior exactly observed on my tablet, during last week. I suspect something went wrong with the newest updates.
Random crashes with reboots, mainly when rotating on lock screen. Tried a factory reset, however, problem still persists.
Never had a single problem with my Nexus until now, worked like a charm. Also, I have not installed new Apps which to blame for this problem.
At the moment I'm trying things like disabling rotation or pattern unlocking, will see if something works.
I think I've seen this as well, on KOT49H. Not sure exactly how to reproduce it, but it's happened a few times.
Do you have modded/unlocked system? My nex is working like never before. It is twice as smooth and stable as it was on 4.3
I have never rooted/moded this tab and never ever had issues with it...
tapped from my nex
Well, disabling rotation seems to improve the issue a little bit, the random reboots are still there, but just less frequent.
Yesterday I had a couple of hangs-reboots doing simple tasks, like checking GMAIL or interacting with Google Currents widget.
In my opinion, this is not a hardware problem, it is, somehow, related with the 4.4.2. KOT49H update. My N10 worked perfect until this last update.
Ironically, I read somewhere that this update fixes the random reboot problem in a lot of faulty tablets. In my particular case, the "fix" seems to trigger the issue in my tablet
It is worth mentioning that my system is not modded or unlocked.
Updating situation ...
During the last week I have used the N10 With the automatic rotation disabled, in landscape mode. Non a single reboot.
This afternoon I just enabled automatic rotation again and the tablet rebooted itself almost instantly, at the second orientation change.
So, IMHO, This issue is only rotation-based, nothing to do with the lockscreen. It is kind of annoying.
Any help?

Hi,
Do you mind sharing a logcat when it happens? It would help a lot to see what's causing the problem.

I never had this problem, but I just tried rotating twice before unlocking, and sure enough that does it.
There are still so many things that cause this device to reboot. I love the hardware, but god is it ever unstable
This is, I hope, my final update regarding this situation..
Well, It is kind of embarrassing to inform that the problem is, apparently, gone. I didn´t do anything to solve it.
So, it looks like some app or widget was causing the instability, and it must be fixed now via a recent update. Honestly I have no clue about who the culprit was..
Thanks, anyway, for your comments and support, and happy new year
Same issue
So it seems I have the same issue too, except I have a Galaxy S4 Touchwiz 4.3. Anytime I go into landscape mode, boom it freezes and reboots. If I disable rotation, then it'll just keep randomly freezing throughout the day. Never happened before, everything was happy go lucky and then I don't know what happened. I reinstalled kernels, took off recent apps I may have installed, tried a different modem, nada... This is a pain. Anyone else with similar issues other than OP?

Ive seen this many times with 4.4.2 and 3. Now with 4 it likely fixed.
I had screen not rotating, I did a dalvik wipe and a cache wipe and haven't had a problem.

Running 4.4.4, I just saw the issue again yesterday.
My Note 3 has recently started having an issue where it would randomly disable WiFi and when I go to re-enable it the icon partially lights up for a minute as if it is working on it and then after a little while it will go out again and stay disabled. Does anyone know what may cause this?
Would a bad battery which has expanded cause this? The phone feels like the battery may be a bit bloated again.
A couple weeks ago I had the same issue and Google Docs, Sheets, Drive, and Slides were all launching themselves non-stop, I had to close them and then quickly force stop and uninstall them before they came up again and blocked me. After these apps were removed I was able to connect to WiFi again. It seemed like they were taking up all of my processing power so the phone could not finish starting the wifi modem. But now I am stumped as to why the wifi will not turn on this time. No apps seem to be trying to take over the screen like the Gsuite apps did.
I still don't know why the Gsuite apps started misbehaving out of nowhere. Any insight on that would be great too.
Thank you.
Replacing the battery with one that is less bloated appears to have resolved the wifi issue. But some apps keep stopping randomly.
