Hello, does anyone have an idea what's wrong with a E900 I have? It used to work just fine, and it still does, but it keeps deactivating WiFi. It also is not able to find _any_ WiFi network at all though it says it is searching. The rest works. Anything I can do apart from sending it to LG?
The phone is running 7.5, though I'm trying to update it to 7.8.
A hard reset didn't help. And as soon as I go back to the main settings page (from the place I can activate WiFi) it is turned off. So go in there, turn on, go back, off. Rinse and repeat.
Sounds like a defective part to me...
Bluetooth does work, and so does the FM radio. Aren't they all supposed to be in one chip?
I've had some problems with my E900 which only a double hard reset solved the problem, but nothing with the wifi. But always worth a try
I have a similar problem, after a certain update, wifi is buggy, and doesn't get a proper ip from my router. I'm positive it's a software problem. Any suggestions?

Hi, guys. Hope you can help...
We have two xda execs on o2. The first is fine - no real probs. On the second, wifi and bluetooth keep activating themselves and are a drain on the battery.
I can't seem to turn it off - The turn on wifi and bluetooth boxes are checked in settings even though I unchecked them half an hour ago when I last turned off bluetooth and wi-fi.
Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks
I would gladly swap for my XDA which keeps switching Bluetooth OFF! lol.
Sorry, I couldn't help from posting given that a significant number of XDA users have the complete opposite problem..
Other than that, I can't help you. I assume you're not running any third party software on there to monitor BT / WiFi ?
Not sure which is worse!
I'm not running any monitoring software.
gaspx: didn't you resolve it yet!?

@Vijay, nearly! -- I think ozBT is going to be the saviour for my XDA, but today it was my BT headset which had stopped working(!!);
Actually, come to think of it, ozBT will also switch off BT / Wifi, so you could do worse than downloading that Goldie..

Although i'd be more inclined to look at what software you have installed on your Exec and try and find out which, if any, has BT/WiFi hooks that may be turning them on automagically.
Failing that, Hard Reset the whole thing (after a backup is taken of course..) and see whether the problem is still happening on a fresh device.
A friend of mine just gave me his old HTC WizA200. When I got it, the battery was dead (found that out after I tore the back off it and managed to get my still camera's battery to power it, although that made it very difficult to do anything on it with), so now that I got a new battery off eBay, it powers on.
Now, the problem(s) is/are this/these:
1) Wifi works fine, can't tell for sure is Bluetooth works 'cause I don't have anything Bluetooth, so I can't test that, ActiveSync works, can't determine if IR/Beam works (nothing to test it with). The phone icon in connection manager seems to turn the phone radio system on, but it just searches endlessly for a network although there are numerous networks around the area (there's a tower behind Sam's Club about 7 blocks away). I know for a fact that T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint, and TracFone have good strong signals right here in my apartment, so I can't seem to figure this problem out. Any help would be appreciated and if I can figure out how, I'll try my best to give you any more information that might help straighten this out.
2) I'm not sure if this is standard behavior or what, but it can be annoying sometimes. When I do a full power off or a soft or hard reset, when the phone comes back on, it will always shut Wifi off and turn Phone on in connection manager regardless of what was turned on and off when I reset it or power it off. Is there a way to make it remember what was turned on and off? And, what does the Wifi operate in by default... 802.11b or g and how would I change it to the faster of the two (802.11G)?

My wife's Elf keeps losing the phone network connection, each time she was in an area without reception, like elevators etc. and than refuses to register back to the network. Only way to get it to register again is to do a soft reset. (turning off and on the phone radio sometimes works, automatic and manual network selection don't). Tried another SIM card, same thing happened. The problem developed when she started to use GPRS/EDGE (previosly used her phone for calls and SMS).
Any ideas?
Have you tried flashing to a new radio in the elf upgrading forums?
Cheers
Changed radio still no go. Interesting enough it works when she doesn't use GPRS. I changed the RIL registry settings, and will be testing it next few days.
Oh, check it out and see how it goes.
Radio is usually affecting the issue.
You can hard reset, if it doesnt work!
Do backup!!
Seems like I tried everything possible and still nothing, it is probably hardware failure. My wife is going nokia after this, she said no more winmo.
Hi guys, I need you to help me with my N4 because as it is said in the title, the wireless connection has left working (since yesterday).
I'll put you in situation: Yesterday just after touching the icon to open the navigator (waze) the device showed an "interference" on the screen and turned off. It was difficult (at least 10 tries before working) to restart the phone, and that interference was again on the screen at the begining of the first seen of the deskboard(you know, the main screen with the widgets and all this kind of things). When I came home 4h after this strange happening I realize that the Wi-Fi didn't work.
This morning I've been trying some things like shutting down the device for around and hour and try again, disabling the NFC or restoring the default settings but no one of these tries has worked so... I'm worried.
The device runs Android 4.2.2, never has been rooted or flashed or something like that.
Can you help me with this trouble?
You can't connect to a wifi network or you can't activate the wifi module?

I can't activate the module. Anyway, I've been speaking with Google's support and it is possible that it has been caused by an short-circuit on the mainboard so they're going to change the device for a new one (thanks to the warranty).
Thank you very much for your interest.
Hi,
I just received the Oreo update for my S8 and everything seemed fine from the start. It didnt take long though when
I noticed that the WiFi was acting weird. Even though I had great connection to my modem, my WiFi performance
was extremely poor. The two arrows beside the WiFi logo in the status bar only showed upload and no download when I
tried to open a website. I tried forgeting the network but it only seemed to work momentarily. So I rebooted my modem and
hoped that it would solve the problem. Rebooting the modem only worked momentarily too. I will be checking later if this issue
continues with other WiFi networks.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Same problem with My S8 after Oreo. Occasionally the !-mark next to wifi-symbol and the connecton is lost. By restarting the wifi-router or renewing the wifi connection from the phone fixes this for some time, until it happens again.
This fixed it for me
Mine was doing the same but noticed I could stay connected to a older router I use as an extender so changed my wifi security on my main router from wpa2-aes to the older wpa and it's been fine ever since stays connected on 2.4 and 5 now
Is there a fix for this yet? I just downloaded the newest update they rolled out today, 4/3/2018 and I still cannot send email if I am connected to my wifi. It tells me "couldn't send" and it sits there until I turn off my wifi and use my data. This is ridiculous. My wifi connection is fine. I should not have to turn off wifi every time I want to send an email. So frustrated. Why roll out another update so quickly if not to fix the issues the March update caused????
I am also a an S8 user and noticed my wifi dropping connections throughout the day and reconnecting. This has occurred ever since Oreo update. I have tried all the possible fixes and none of them seem to work. I have sent my phone to Samsung for a repair and they have useless approved centres that lie about fixing the phone. I have sent it back. Lets see what happens. Worst case scenario I will have to install Nougat as it was working fine on this version.
Same here ! =(
Same problem
Sporadic exclamation mark on the WiFi icon
and poor performance .
Opened another thread on too many open ports.
Used sockstat and too many ports are listening.
Me too
(ROM France : XEF)
Did you guys notice this after the Oreo update or on Nougat as well?
I’m having this problem since the Oreo update too. I have to turn the WiFi off and on several times a day to fix it. When attempting to use WiFi, no pages etc will load and then eventually a ! Symbol appears next to the WiFi icon. Only fix is to turn WiFi on and off. It’s very annoying!
Exact same issue. Started occurring right after oreo update
Have you guys complained to Samsung about this? as making noise to them will rectify your faults eventually.
Same here, WiFi unreliable since Oreo. I need to restart the network to make a WiFi call and that isn't always a reliable fix. I started a chat with T-Mob on FB and gave up. They're clueless. Samsung S8+
Hello same issu, I'm from France an online the forum in France an Germany many people have this problem.
I read somewhere to delete the wireless connection from your device and then re-add. I'm not ready to say it fixed things but the WiFi does seem more stable.
UPDATE - Sorry to say there are still issues. Oh well, it gave me hope for a brief moment!
Go to settings- General management- Reset- Reset network settings- Then confirm and restart the phone. After re add your wifi networks. That fixed it for me
Update: It turned out that it didn't work for me... it looks like i may have to try and factory reset as it feels like i have tried everything else :crying:

T-Mobile just had be clear the cache from the "boot level" menus. Let me see if that fixes anything before trying yet something further. THANKS!
PS - clearing the cache did fix the problem I was having with the TX Lottery app. After the OREO update it would no longer scan the ticket barcodes. It's working again!
