Two problems: wifi won't automatically connect and "android is upgrading" - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've got a rooted S5. A few weeks ago, I tried to flash cyanogenmod, and screwed things up pretty royally. I eventually flashed to a roughly stock rom, so I'm running 4.4.4. For ease, here are two screenshots.

Anyway, I managed to salvage my phone and everything is basically working, except for two things:
1. My phone no longer automatically connects to the wifi at my house or at my in laws. It does at work, for some reason. My wifi password is ten random numbers and I've got them memorized. I've got unlimited data with sprint, but not unlimited patience.
2. Whenever I restart, I get the damn Android is upgrading thing, and it's always two apps that need optimization. Again, it doesn't really matter, but it's one of those little annoyances that are driving me nuts.
I've got philz. I'm running xposed framework.
Help?

Wireless Tether FC

Today I needed to take the laptop on my route for work. Every time I tried to start wireless tether it would FC and give the option to report or cancel. Restarted phone to just do the same thing.
Went to "Manage Applications" and cleared data which fixed it but still have no clue what would cause something like that. The report gave a list of running apps and other stuff but gave no explanation that could see.
Have anyone experienced the same thing and if so did you ever figure out the cause? Wasn't a big deal, just had to reconfigure the WPA setting which took all of 30 seconds. It was just a PITA cause was in a hurry and busy when it chose to mess up.
Did you install the new Wireless Tether update that says in the Market description that you should uninstall it and reinstall from scratch if you get force-closes after the update?
Didn't even notice as updated a few at same time. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
Thought it was something I did wrong...... Well except for not reading update info.

Heh, I've been "burned" enough times by not reading the changes and recent comments before doing an update that I never touch the "Update All" button anymore.

WiFi and Bluetooth not working

My phone is a Cubot One running MIUI 4.8.29 custom ROM v6. One day, my WiFi spontaneously ceased to work. I thought it was a temporary glitch, so I rebooted. It worked again. Then, it spontaneously ceased to work AGAIN. since then, it had just been off and when I try to turn it on, it just greys out for a few seconds and switches off again. The same thing happens to my Bluetooth. However, twice, randomly, about 4 months ago and 6 months ago, it notifies me of possible WiFi networks. It stays like this for a couple of hours, then returns to the aforementioned state. I have tried a full reset several times with the stock ROM and others to no avail. I've been using mobile data since then. I don't know how this has happened and I am wondering if the altered build properties of the custom ROM have anything to do with it. The WiFi-pertinent ones are attached. Please help - not having Bluetooth or WiFi prevents me from selling the phone. Thanks all!

Wi-Fi stopped working on rooted Galaxy S7

I own a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 (G930V), rooted according to psouza4's root guide and fine-tuning guide , with Coolify. Everything was working great, until two nights ago. That night, Wi-Fi randomly stopped working on the device. Upon inspection, I found it had not only disconnected from my network, but had also turned off its Wi-Fi signal.
I tried turning it back on, both through the notification tray and the android settings app, which says it is turning Wi-Fi on for a few minutes, looking like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
before giving up and returning to this:
I've already tried reboot, wiping the cache partition, toggling airplane mode, cellular data and bluetooth, all to no avail. I am unsure what is causing this problem and whether it is hardware or software related. I only have a finite amount of cellular data and much prefer to be using Wi-Fi. I am hesitant to resort to a stock reset of my phone, losing all my apps, data, and hours of customization, though I will if I think I have to. Any advice will be much appreciated!

Wifi not working suggestions needed

Hello guys, I was using Google edition ROM for 1-2 months in my LGG2 D802
A week ago suddenly the wifi stopped working. It keeps showing turning on wifi and nothing happens.
I flashed other ROMs at the settings wizard the wifi started but turned itself off after few minutes.
So I visited LG care nearby, they flashed ROM in it to check if it starts working and it didn't.
They suggested to replace the board which will cost 5k INR
Should I go for it?
*bump*
FINALLY WiFi TURNED ON!
FINALLY!

What I did?
- Flashed stock ROM
- kept wifi turned off
- turned off automatic date update
- then turned on wifi
So, basically its the automatic date update which is killing the wifi everytime. don't know why..
Please inform to people to try this method facing this issue.
Thank god didn't sell it for 5000Rs :laugh:

Keyboard Glitch/Broken after Rooting/Flashfyre

Hi guys,
I have a fresh S7 SM-G930V(Android 6.0.1). Which i logged in via google and it downloaded all my previous apps on my old phone(i assume it automatically does)
I was following https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039.
And now my keyboard is now starting to look weird
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I completed all the steps and rooted to the following image "Samsung_G930x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR (any Samsung Galaxy S7) (MD5 hash 948A01ECCF280828DFD13AC366F6FE85)"
and used Odin3_v3.12_PrinceComsy.zip as opposed to the other odin.
Any ideas besides using another keyboard app?
EDIT: Just flashed back to G930VVRU4API3, which i thought was my stock rom but has a purpleish first time start up which i thought should be blueish?
Going to try and re-flash a root after work again.
UPDATE2: I Follow the rooting/xposed steps again and now i got my normal keyboard back. The difference is that the verizon startup is white/red while when i first ever used the phone it was a blueish/purple verizon start up. But i feel that it was definitely 6.0.1 with PI3.
Accessing the phone via cable seems extremely slow but thats for another thread...
I am now rooted with a working keyboard, now time to work on the other issues....
