I got my Nexus 7 a few weeks ago and I have noticed that overtime Wifi will stop working until WiFi is toggled off and then back on. The signal strength indicator will show good signal but it will be gray instead of blue. All the research I have found suggest that this is a software bug. Seeing as how it is software I was wondering if there are any custom ROMs that have this fixed. I like the stock firmware but this WiFi bug pretty much baked this thing a real pain to use.

Hi,
I am using American Android 2.3.7 and so far m quite happy with it.
The only issue i am facing with it is that it screen automatically keeps on turning ON and OFF every now and then while there are no notifications for miss call/sms/call or other thing.
Initially i thought it could be because of 2g/3g triggering. So i kept phone to use only 2G networks and still the issue is there.
It is not a permanent issue. It happens just like that at any point of time and screen flickers ON/OFF/ON/OFF.
Please suggest what can be wrong in this and what should i check ??
mine is on tytungs ICS & it does that, I think even with lower versions, could be a bug
I cannot turn on my N7's NFC anymore. Whenever I try to turn it on, the option will just remain grayed out. I even tried quicksetting toggles to no avail.
I have tried different kernels, rom, and even flashed the Google stock image but it is still grayed out no matter what I do.
When my N7 was still new, I would always turn it off since I don't have other NFC devices and tags. Eventually I forgot about it and didn't bother with it whenever I flash a new rom.
However, there was a point when I flashed buttered AOKP rom and I noticed that NFC is taking a huge amount of battery in the battery report in settings. This is when I discovered that my NFC is not working anymore.
Interestingly, whenever I am on buttered AOKP, battery report would show that NFC is taking a huge amount of battery. I even notice the draining even when my device is idle. This does not happen to any other ROMs that I have tried. However, I am not implying that buttered AOKP caused this problem on my device, especially since there are no other users who have experienced this issue.
It is really a shame since I recently got a N4 and I can finally make use of NFC android beam. Do you have any other ideas or suggestions for this issue? Do you think that this is hardware related already? It would be great if there is a way to conclusively test that this is a hardware issue since it is really bothering me.
hi there,
i have a s4 i9505 which has been rooted and is running davdh's pure nexus rom.
i've got a bit of a problem with the gps - it locks when i first turn on maps but loses signal subsequently. signal stays lost for a few mintutes (maybe 2-5, it depends) and locks for a second or two before the signal is lost again.
i've had a look at several forums and it seems like its a common problem for the S4 Active, S3 and Note II. those problems were fixed when some users flashed a different modem - there seems to be a consensus that the problem is caused by overheating caused by the radio.
I was wondering if anyone here had a similar problem with their i9505, and if so, did you manage to fix it?
also, might anyone recommend a fix/modem version that might fix this?
Cheers
Hello folks,
i have a problem with my galaxy s4. I am using CM11 and recently updated from M9 to M10. After this update the signal strength drops really bad and i cannot call. I returned to M9 and the problem is gone. I googled the problem but couldn't find anything. The newest nightlys don't cure this bug. Has someone experienced the same or/and has a cure for this?
Thanks for reading,

On stock 4.4.2 GNG8 there is same problem. When go to area with poor coverage sometimes phone radio hangs - zero bars (but no "no signal"), i cannot receive calls or connect to internet. I read that this is bug in android 4.4.2.
So i'll answer my own Questions by myself. After wiping Cache and Data and flashing CM11 M12 the problems are gone. I would recommend to do the same.
Hi all,
I recently upgraded from 4.4.2 stock rom to 6.0.1 stock rom and everything worked fine except the GPS. I tried a few different fixes like changing the gps.conf, and a few different apps and could see there was some signal but it could never seem to get a lock. Sometimes it seemed to get a lock for a split second then drop it again.
I ended up going back to my 4.4.2 and GPS works fine again. So the simple conclusion is this is firmware based. I'm no expert but would be willing to help if someone wants to investigate this further. There has to be some GPS related files from the KK firmware that can be exported to MM to make it work

GPS has always been kinda weak and slow due to the module itself. Did you experience the auto brightness bug as well?

Auto-brightness was working fine for me. Just the GPS issue noted.
