I'm having a unique problem that I have yet to encounter before. Everytime I reboot I lose my password for wifi at home and I have to re-enter it. Very annoying. Anyone know what I could possibly do to fix this problem?
Running stock Bell rom. Rooted.
Thanks

I have the exact same problem! I'm also running Bell stock and rooted my phone.
I did use TiBu to restore my wifi passwords. Have you done the same thing?

I didn't use TiBu for wifi passwords. I believe it is the Rom. I am gonna reinstall it and see if it persists.
Same problem here! Really frustrating. Mine's Bell too. Wonder if this is D803 issue.

same. bell but unlocked. Tried restoring to factory and also update recovery firmware. No luck.
I'm on Verizon and have another thread started on similar issues that started today. Mine remembers my password but will not get on the internet with either my 5Ghz or 2.4. I have to use my guest account on the same router for it to work.
I'm having the same issues on my Bell stock D803. Getting really frustrating now.

That's what I do use. I've tried my home, work and iphone hotspot. All connect the first time, but reboot the phone and it looses all the settings.
I emailed LG Canada support and they replied back with:
- Turn the phone off.
- Press home + volume down + power and hold until you see the LG logo appear, release the keys.

And if that doesn't work, take it back to your carrier to have it sent into their repair center.

OK, I have the verizon(US version) and I have no problem
Yeah, I think it's a problem with the Bell Canada version of the phone. Must be something in the ROM. Hopefully it gets updated soon to fix the issue.

Try opening up your build.prop file and editing the following: wifi.lge.patch. Set it to false. This worked on my Bell D803.
Needless to say, you need to be rooted to do this.

You don't post very often, but when you do it's great!! Can't thank you enough for this! :good:
How the heck did this get through QC, that's what I want to know!

Has there been any non-root resolution to this?
My brother is having issues and i'd rather not root his phone - adds complexity that he doesn't need plus i would need to figure out how on an LG

I've tried to do this, but the file gets reset after every reboot. Is there something else that needs to be done>?
While toying with my LG G2, I managed to find a setting where I could lock down the phone's USB connection and prevent it from showing anything when connected to a computer if the screen is locked prior. The only way to get it to show on the computer was to actually unlock the phone first in which then once it shows you can lock it back.
I find this feature AWESOME (something I always wanted) because people wouldn't be able to just put my phone on their computer and copy my ish (well I'm sure you can get around it, but most 'regular' people wouldn't be able to figure it out) <-- by regular I mean not NERDS like us.
If anyone else has discovered this setting and knows how to get back to it, plz share. I been looking for it for awhile but have not been able to find it.

Yeah, it's definitely Stock. I found and tested it like wow this is kinda cool, then now that I want to turn it off temporarily due to a lot i'm going to be modding, I can't find the feature again, lol. I guess I could just turn the lock off in general for awhile... but I kinda don't want to, ya know?
If I figure out how I did it, I'll come back and post so you all will know. I think it's pretty good extra security personally. At least if you lose your phone and someone finds it, it gives you a bit more time to remotely wipe it.
Mine are not lighting up and not working. I have done various resets and things would be back to normal, but that has stopped now. Have made enquiries and people are saying it's the Google app and you have to disable it then enable, but that doesn't work either. Has anyone else had this issue? Factory resets were advised in other threads but did not work. I'm getting so many bugs on this phone that it's starting to piss me off
Have you tried initializing in smart switch. Or using odin to flash the latest firmware?

I''ll give that a try as that seems to be the only option left apart from returning it.
Gave it a try x 2 and it initially appears to work. Then installed some apps and it reverted back. Tried again, and tried setting up as a new phone, same thing. This phone has to be the most disappointing smartphone I have ever had. Permanent bugs, poor sound. Should have waited for the HTC 10.
In Accessibility Settings check if "One touch mode" is enabled. Disable it.

Don't have one touch mode anywhere . This phone is really beginning to piss me off. Surely a replacement can't have as many bugs as the one I have. Samsung Internet hardly ever works, the settings I save never save and now this. i'm thinking Samsung rushed this out.
Maybe it's called "Single touch mode" or something similar, I'm translating from Italian...

Have you tried the app called galaxy button lights? It might fix the problem.
Heres a link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.notquiteinsane.galaxybuttonlights
Also check to see if you have powersaving enabled. When enabled the recent and back keys do not illuminate.

I think your only option is to get a replacement then. Hope you get a working one becuase this really is a great phone.
So people say but I have had nothing but problems with it. The sound quality is poor, it never saves my settings and I had to pay £200 to replace the screen whilst out jogging. I didn't drop it, it was in my arm strap for the entire 2 mile jog back from the gym. I'd love to swap it for a HTC 10 as I had the M7 and M8 and they were great phones and I didn't have any issues with them.

You must have just got a faulty one. I have had mine since it was released here in the uk and have not had a single problem with it other than the occasional reboot but thats acceptable and is just in the nature of Android. I would try a replacement but if you prefer you could sell it and put what ever you get towards a htc 10.

Is powersave mode on?
I've taken it to Samsung on Oxford St, London. After waiting 90 mins a member of staff tried the buttons and then said they will have to send it away for repair and it will take 7-8 days. Then instead of posting it back to me I have to go back to Oxford St and presumably have to wait the same time to get it back. Shambolic customer service.
New S8 today... I was pumped but I'm starting to get concerned. I've tried with AOD on and off but if I pocket the device and walk around a bit it seems not to want to wake up and bring me to the lock screen.
Once I get it to respond, it's restarting.... Boooo
Any thoughts? Defective unit?
Wipe the phone and try again.

Did you restore from your old phone with Smart Switch? Sometimes Samsung's or third party apps can create version conflicts when they're moved over. BTW, where are you and what's the region of your phone?
Canada on Rogers...
The phone is obviously new and I'm coming over from an HTC. I did a fresh setup from scratch as I'm new to Samsung.
My phone did do a major update soon after turning on for the first time.

I wonder if it has anything to do with them (Rogers) botching the launch with the way they loaded the IMEI numbers? Go to the customer forum on Roger's website and see if any other customers are having similar issues.

That's a very good question. I was busy installing apps as I'm travelling tomorrow for work. Honestly, I dont remember it asking but I may have accidentally accepted. It certainly wasn't a big cautious ask, if there was a prompt.

What carrier and country?
I'm getting the same problem on my S8 standard. Randomly, the screen will have some artefacts appear (nearly always on the bottom) then it just restarts. Happens in safe mode too so it doesn't appear to be an app causing it. Phoned Samsung and they told me to send it back to the retailers and ask for a replacement.
So that sucks. Besides on this forum I haven't seen anyone else talking about this, so I guess it's not a wide spread problem.
At&the in the US.
Received phone yesterday and used smart switch to transfer from my Samsung Edge phone. Everything was working great but now the screen is not working...frozen. it won't reboot, nothing works!

For me it seems to be directly related to biometrics, if I have the fingerprint reader and face recognition enabled at the same time it locks up often.
Or iris scanner and fingerprint reader both enabled I get lockups.
It will get stuck on the always on screen, yippy can press the home button and feel the haptic feedback but nothing happens.

the exact same problem is happening to my new s8 plus as well... even had T-Mobile send me another.. same issue with that too... AOD goes dim.. phone becomes unresponsive and then restarts. already did this 3 times today.. tried turning of OAD.. no luck.. I did notice that it happens a lot when I put phone in pocket.

I restored both phones using smart restore.. could it be that I have to manually restore my phone? ie.. install each application seperately
I dont think smart restore is the issue, it has something to do with the lock/AOD screen and power save.
It is getting stuck in some low power state and its not coming back.
I have tested with multiple fresh installs and the issue persists.
I am on my second Verizon S8+ and still having the issue.
Same here .. 2 units.. s8plus on tmobile... decided to factory reset.. didn't install any sofware.. had on wireless charger.. while watching tv I noticed my phone scree n turn on... damn thing just restarted!! Samsung says to run in safe mode to eliminate 3rd party software conflicts.... REALLY?
Mine never restarted or locked up, so must be something particular. Interesting theory about fingerprint and iris scanners conflicting: Once I set up fingerprint, I can't get iris scan to work at all.

You guys that are having issues...
Do you have a Micro SD in the phone?
Yes.. i have max 256
How can i back my quick connect toggle?
That's why i can't use Tv show to mobile screen mirror.
Note-My phone is Dubai region but i flash UK (i don't remember coz i flash it when the 1st nougat rom was released) region rom.Is UK rom remove this feature?
Anyone.
Once upon a time when xda was helpful.?
You can't
If you want to go back to the other toggle you'll have to re-flash de CSC not the CSC-Home and reset whole phone
the update is a system update so you cant de-install or rollback.
Sorry
But if you set up backup correctly the google one you can do it easily.
Hope this helps

They always 1st thought I mean the mobile to tv mirror.They would atleast told me the quick connect is now Samsung connect......HuH!
Btw thanx.
