If your wifi is unstable try this!

I had installed a wifi booster app from the market and didn't see any difference so when I uninstalled the application my wifi connection at home became unstable. It kept slowing down and freezing so I got my board and started surfing the web and found this solution from gs3 reviews website. It worked like a charm! Wifi back to normal.
White Hot! GS3.

just tried this .. well see how this works out and come back and post my findings. good find.

That does work but Wi-Fi will suck down a fair bit more juice. At least it did for me. Cycling Wi-Fi also works but more annoying. I believe the culprit is actually my aging wrt54gs.

hrmm..why can't I see the attached thumbnail?

Open it in a new tab.

This only works until you reboot the phone. Then it resets it to "on"

This has been posted so many times

Thanks I just turned off the wifi option. I will try it out for a while.

I'm pretty sure this is the same as "best wifi performance" on the one x. It maintains a better connection because is disallows the phone entering sleep mode. Could be wrong however......

You can use the "anycut" app from the Play store and select the activity named "wifi debug screen" which will create a direct shortcut to that menu.

100% agreed.science is flop on note 3

Try updating router firmware, it worked for me and be warned: turning off wifi power save mode will kill your battery withing 24 hrs max, even if you don't use your phone at all.

Then how is it possible modify kernel is working well?

I face wifi button is not working in stock kernel

Go to settings on phone>wifi. Hit the menu button at the bottom of the screen then advanced. Turn off auto network switch. Also you can untick scanning always available as this is a battery drain too.

*To fix this pb : modify with root explorer
build.prop ro.securestorage.support=true - Change to false.
WiFi works fine on reboot

Galaxy S5 black screen upon wake up

I would reflash the stock rom you have atm and data factory reset afterwards or try a data factory reset first and see if that fixes your issue.

Known bug. Supposedly fixed in recent firmware updates. More details in existing threads.
Or simply circumvent the issue entirely by upgrading to a good third party screen saver.
If you're ambitious, you could also try the following edit, which may help.
Make a backup first, then try editing build.prop
Code:
mot.proximity.delay=0
ro.lge.proximity.delay=25

I have added mot.proximity.delay=0 but i couldnt find ro.lge.proximity.delay=25. Is there any other way to fix this problem. I have to pull my battery out couple of times a day and its starting to get to me.

I have the same issue... do you still get this issue? For me, sometimes, the screen does not wake up only the capacitive keys... I have to press the power button again to turn it off and then press power again to turn it on.

me too
Hi,
I'm having the same problem.
It was intermittent for a short while and a battery pull would fix it, now it's permanent.
I get capacitive buttons, I can boot into recovery or download.
I can hear touches on the screen and the annoying at$t boot sound is back since I used Odin to reflash to stock.
I think I have to take this phone to a service center and see if they will exchange it.
I'm worried that there may be traces of towelroot but from the thread that provides stock firmware and instructions for Odin it would seem that I'm good.
Has anyone had any luck with this issue or have any other tips to try?
I'm bummed because I just applied a glass protector and it looks like I'll have to get another.
Not to mention having to drive to the center.
Thanks.

With the new 1.100 motherboard version the problem is solved. It's a hardware defect. Maybe it will be fixed in next fw versions with some voltage or timing setting changes but a mobo change will definitely solve it.

For the record:
The at$t service center reflashed my phone and the screen works again.
IDK why flashing stock with odin did not work for me.
I can see from the post above mine that the problem might come back, I'll insist on a replacement if it does.

still getting the issue but for me I just need to press power 3 times for it to wake up; no need to remove battery

Phone heating & Frequent restart issue [FIXED]

Hi,
My friend bought this new phone 2 days back. He is having serious heating and restart issues. Is this phone really defective or just his piece? Anyone able to use this phone properly, I can see lots of threads with same issues.

Heyy! I m having this issue too.! Not the restarts but..battery and heating issues

Turns out the frequent restart & heating happens when you enable the Double Tab to wake and sleep options. I have disabled all the 3 options and now it seems to be working normally!
You can try it too, go to Settings -> Display & Lights -> scroll down to advanced and uncheck all the options.

The problem exists in my phone as well.....however I am experiencing new drawbacks like if the phone is kept in Airplane mode the battery gets exhausted within 2-3 hours....this seems to be weird....:crying:

My phone reboot when idle more than 10 times a day ,
My phone reboot when idle more than 10 times a day , please give a solution without rooting
The device works fine when using it , when idle it reboots ,tryed factory reset as well

Hi bro,
I got my YU on April 11th in my hands. There isn't really such serious problem on my phone. But if i use Camera for long then rear top portion of the phone heats a quite but never faced random reboots. Besides the System_update_service is constantly keeping the CPU awake doesn't let to enter into deep sleep easily, so we can disable it and enable back when there is a news of OTA rollout. Backup and Performance is marvelous
Current bugs in my observation:
1. Color enhancement can't be permanently disabled. It auto enables after unlocking screen.
2. VPN disconnects randomly. No issue with Mobile data and WiFi.
3. Sometimes on disconnecting a tele call, the screen would stay black. So here Double tap to wake is the savior. As the power button won't wake up the phone.

rebooting nightmare
Hi bro

Hi Sir nice to see you here also,
Heating problem is due to the Snapdragon 615 processor,
Its was also present on Htc 820,
So its normal phone will heat up slightly if ur using for long time likr 30 mins at stretch.

Yes if you use the phone for long it will get heated. But the problem posted here is excessive heating even without using the phone. This is happening due to bugs in the Kernel, which has been addressed by CyanogenMod team and should be fixed in the lolipop update..

Shutdowns and now Reset - phone hacked?

So my phone started shutting down randomly every few days.
This morning I picked it from charger, it was hot and again shut down, after turning it on, in booted into initial set up and I lost most of the settings.
WTF?
Is it just that xiaomi is such a ****ty phone or is it hacked or something?
Not even asus zenfone 6 has this bad software.

HW fault ? My phone works perfect!

it worked for 14 days without reboot etc. now I don't trust it at all

Wow... so you didn't unlock the bootloader or did any customisations like lspeed, fde or custom kernel or ANYTHING??
You should contact Xiaomi ASAP about this.
If you have installed quite a few apps it may be one of them?
Getting my Mi 9T soon but that sucks bro
---------- Post added at 09:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 PM ----------
It was hot while charging overnight? Either this is a faulty unit or there's some rogue app that you need to get rid of.

Nothing like that, well yesterday I clicked few times on 10 image in miui updater to see if there is any animation like lollipop etc had. That is about it.
I think it was hot because it reinstalled-partly the whole system
Also I don't think app should have this much access on unrooted system anyways
