HTC HD WIFI Problem

Hi,
I have a problem with the wifi on HTC HD:
When I try to launch WIFI after a soft reset it always run OK.
Afetr a sleep mode (ie the phone went to sleep mode after 30 secondes or if i put it in sleep mode after a single press on the power button), If i try to launch WIFI the system freeze almost 50 % of the time : sometimes i can launch wifi someteimes the system freezes.
I did a hard reset and didnt installed any new software: same problem.
I disabeled TouchFLO; same problem
Dose anybody have an idea that can help ?
Regards

Hi There,
same as you, it happens regularly that due to reconnection to wifi, the system freezes. I must take out the battery to restart the HD.

I can't reproduce your system freeze. Have you enabled the option to keep wifi alive while in stand-by mode? This can be done by HD Tweak (or Advanced Config).
For me it is disabled and it reconnects just fine after powering the device up again. Have you installed the HTC Hotfix(es) already? What Rom are you running?

Hi,
If I leave the WIFI on so no problem at all, when the system wake up after a sleep mode so the WIFI is OK, the problem occurs very often if I put OFF the WIFI before I go to sleep mode. If I leave the WIFI on so no problem.
Just a precision: when the problem happens after sleep mode sometimes it dosent freeze but the WIFI dosent go on, if I try many time to put wifi on it will end by freezing the system.
The hotfix is installed.
ROM version: 1.14.406.3(22273) FRE

somebody can help me with this wifi problem please ?

I would try to change or update the ROM to see if the
freezing goes away. If not, send it in to the service centre for diagnosis.

shame on HTC and shame on Expansys !
I've return back the HTC HD for diagnostics few days after I've received it because of the WIFI problem descrbed in the original post. Afetr 2 weeks I've received the phone with a notice"repaired under waranty", after quick test the problem still the same ! I've returened it back to Expansys-where I bought it- and I am stil waiting to be replaced !!! Imagine that: I've had the problem few days after I've bought the phone and I have never got to use it..now after 2 months I am still waiting for the phone..Expansys says it wa sent to HTC to be replaced..I've asked them to replace cause it is new, no answer from expansys...shame

I believe while I was having a different WIFI problem and came across this problem detailed somewhere on the HTC website... however I forget where.
Some googling and forum searching might do the trick!
Have you tried a different ROM perhaps?
Also maybe using HDTweak or AdvancedConfig you could change the wifi to always be on even when the phone is asleep; although this would completely drain the battery rather quickly it could be a useful stopgap until you find a solution!

[Q] bluetooth turns itself on when unlocked

Hey peeps,
yesterday my mDJ froyo 4.1 decided to give me trouble so i deleted it and installed the newest 4.6, now i know i'd rather post this in the 4.6 thread but i could'nt find anything related to my issue there, has anyone ever encountered this issue? once i unlock the phone the bluetooth automatically turns itself on

anyone?! this is driving me nuts here.. i'v checked the BT settings in WinMo too, thought maybe the BT is on overthere and causing it to turn on in android but no.. its off, i use flight mode in WinMo.. i'v noticed two services appearing when unlocking the device, one is called Bloutooth share, and the other BrcmBluetoothServices, ofcourse i ended them but they keep turning on when i turn the screen on

Android 4.3 introduced problems with Wifi not turning on.

Hi Guys
I dunno if I am the only one that is suffering this problem as I haven't seen any posts about it but:
I use 2x Battery to save power over night when I am sleeping, and this turns off Wifi/Bluetooth and GSM/HSPA Data, and periodically will turn them back on every 2 hours to allow my phone to get emails and other notifications.
Since the introduction of Android 4.3 to my device, every couple of days I have to switch my device off and back on again because Wifi refuses to turn on. Exactly the same problem existed in 4.2 but instead with bluetooth refusing to turn on, which I might add has been fixed in 4.3.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Andy

Personnaly, i rather switch wifi and sync off in the night, coz i only have a look at my phone in the morning.
And i can tell that with last update (JR..Y) with data & wifi off, that the battery isn't draining more than 1% in 6 hours.
4.3 included several battery saving optimisation, have a look in the wifi advanced parameters...

Thanks for your input on battery saving methods but I'm trying to resolve a potential software issue with Wifi

Of course. But take care about the compatibility between your battery saver app, and you android's version... JWR66V ? Y ? JSS ?!
Are you sure they are both compatible ?
Did you try to wipe cache & dalvik, and reinstall your app ?
I think that it's your app that's not "aligned" with OS api's.
You can test Snapdragon Battery guru

I use Llama which is a real great app for controlling your phone and it does occur where it will not turn my wifi back on. With all the optimizations with wifi in 4.3 and battery saving I just decided to leave wifi on all the time. So far it has not caused any real noticeable drain maybe an extra 1-2% total

WiFi not turning on after android 4.3 update
Hey guys,
First time poster, long time reader.
Now I've been doing some hard searching on this issue but I don't think this problem has been completely addressed yet (Apologies if it has).
I updated to Android 4.3 today on my Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300). The update seemed like it went smoothly but after it completed I noticed that the WiFi wasn't turned on. Once I click it looks like it loads and after a few seconds just stops. So I simply cannot get the wifi to turn on!!!
I've tried clearing the app cache, and looked at different forums but has anyone else come across this issue?!
Please help!!!
Thanks in Advance.

WIFI turns on and off constantly

when turning my wifi off it seems it goes into some weird loop of turning on and off constantly by itself, it doesn't seem to be trying to connect just flipping the wifi switch on and off none stop.
noticed it because i had a huge battery daring overnight and while trying to fix it i saw the switch going off and on all the time.
when turning it back on it seems to connect normally .
did a network setting rest but it did nothing ...
I'm guessing a factory rest will fix the problem but I'm hoping to avoid such a overkill solution :crying:
does anyone else had this problem and can help me fix it?
thanx!

original samsung rom.
just happened (i have the device for a a while everything was fine) its the android system that drains the battery in the battery status.
when i leave the wifi on it stops and works fine ...

Have you turned off ''Keep Wifi During Sleep''? I know this can drain battery.
It's not so easy to troubleshoot on an orginal none rooted phone.
You can try clearing dalvik and cache.
Turn it off and then on holding power and vol down button, then clear cach/dalvik and restart.

Try uninstall update beaming service for samsung then restart
If still persistent try uninstall update microsoft onedrive and skype then restart, just in case
I found it after factory reset (forgot internal data backup :crying and update all apps, this problem occuring after the last 3 updates (beaming, onedrive, & skype) which more suspect beaming service update make that problem

Your not alone
You're not the only one who suffer from this exact problem, on Friday or Saturday the same problem started occurring with my phone too, WiFi turns on and off in a loop and huge battery drain!
I saw an increase of 6% of battery drain per hour, so I ended up on 9% total drain every hour. :crying:
I have original Samsung Rom and phone worked prefect until now, no settings or apps installed before this happened either.

What rom version are you guys on?

I'm having the same issue. However, I'm on PhoenixX Rom. Major battery killer and has only just started happening within the past few days.
Since my phone has been unplugged, 3 hours ago, looking at BetterBatteryStats, It is showing com.google.android.gms as having quite a LOT of wakeups. 40 per hour (everything else is about 2). Don't know if this is normal as I don't remember it before the Wifi issue.
Looking into what the wake ups are caused from, Location and heartbeat were the major culprits. So i have turned of WIFI scanning when not on and also the body sensors for Google Play. We shall see.

Easy fix. Just disable Wi-Fi scanning.

its not a fix at all . it dosnt scan for wifi , just turning it on and off non stop.
like pressing the light switch agin and agin

I had this after installing "GoodLock" software from Samsung! Uninstalled and everything is ok

same here, just noticed I wasnt on Wifi and the switch is just flicking on and off by itself. Standard S7 with all the updates installed

Been struggling with the same for some days (4 - 5) I haven't been able to get exactly whats triggering this. I'm on stock rom with root. I've reinstalled firmware clean again and re downloaded my apps but it is still happening randomly. Some times after a few attempts to switch wifi on (even when it is toggling by itself) it manages to keep on. Sometimes restarting makes it work again. One thing I'm almost certain its that this usually happens after I turn wifi OFF and then try to turn it back on.
It's been crazy and the phone starts to overheat after a while off this on-off loop.
Any ideas?

its very wierd it started to all of us in the past few days-weeks . seems like samsung has a bug they need to hurry up and fix.

AT&T just pushed out the October Security update for the S7 family, I'm guessing something that came along with it is creating the problem.

mine did a software update last week and I've been away in airplane mode so it could have started then. I've just disabled scanning and that seems to have got round the issue and I'm now connected to WifI

I'm not sure whether it is a Samsung Issue or a Third party one... It is true that something recently affected all of us, but as far as I know, it could be a third party app that wasn't well developed for our phone.

I've noticed the same problem on my phone and it's also only started up in the last few days. On stock Sammy rom, unrooted. Will be monitoring this thread to see if the experts here can narrow down the culprit.

I had the same issue and I was able to stop the toggle by turning off the wifi scanning in Location - Improve Accuracy - WiFi scanning. It's a fix for now. I think it may be an app that may have been updates that is persistently looking for location updates.

Coolpad R116 - bluetooth issue

please delete this post
Hi,
Recently I bought Coolpad R116. It run on default EUI system it was shipped with.
Everything seems fine, but after time is starts to turn on bluetooth by itself.
Sometimes it's on after screen unlock and gone few seconds after, sometimes it keeps being on - but I never turned it on myself.
It seems to be main battery eater for this device.. First time I kind a solved it by factory resetting, but it just returned.
As far as I remember location scanning is disabled (both wifi and bluetooth)
appreciate any suggestions on this
