Hi,
I'm having some issues with sombree's CM12.1 port for the i9515.
* wifi: sometimes the phone disconnects from and won't reconnect to roaming wifi setups when changing the AP. Disabling and reenabling wifi helps. No problem with non-roaming wifi setups though.
* encryption: I tried to activate the phone encryption. Android said it would take a long time to encrypt the phone, asked for a password, rebooted and started the encryption. In a jiffy it went up to 100%, then 120%.. 140%.. etc. It took about 5 mins, then the phone restarted and asked for the password. Well, at least it tried to restart, but all applications went "stopped". The phone was unusable. When booting into recovery I found the phone's partitions encrypted. Anyways I had to do a factory reset and restore a backup to render the phone usable again.
* bluetooth: I managed to pair the phone with my Honda's hands free talk, but it won't connect automatically. I have to switch off and on the phone's bluetooth, restart the car, sacrifice a chicken and select my car in the phone's bluetooth settings and it *may* happen to connect. That's really annoying
Any ideas of what I can do to get that stuff working?
Kind regards
Brick

You cant do much about it, its the bugs for the rom you are on.
You can wait until these bugs are fixed or change your rom.
Darn. AFAIK there are exactly two roms I can use with my i9515: sombree's cm12.1 port and stock, are there any more?

I have a stock Verizon S5 that I've had for about a month now. Initially I rooted it using Towelroot, then I unsuspectingly applied the OTA update to NE9 which killed my root. I've decided to just keep the phone unrooted going forward and haven't tried to root it since the NE9 upgrade.
Since upgrading, I've noticed that every time I power up my device, or restart it, the device seems to remain in a hardened state for an indeterminate amount of time. The most obvious symptoms of this include the WiFi and Bluetooth being turned off (but NFC will stay on if it was on before). I've also noticed that if you plug it into a computer, the USB will say it is connected as a media server, and the computer will acknowledge a USB device has connected, but it won't show up in Windows.
If I manually turn on WiFi and Bluetooth, the WiFi will find a network, connect to it and get an IP Address, but then it gets stuck on "Checking the quality of your Internet connection..." This can go on for 10 minutes or more. This means that for however long the phone decides not to connect to the WiFi my phone is using up my cellular data unnecessarily.
Without warning this hardened state will go away and the WiFi and Bluetooth will turn on if they weren't already manually turned on, it will connect to a network, and the USB drives will become accessible.
I was worried this might be an issue with applying the update while rooted. I've Used Odin to flash the NE9 stock ROM on the device. The issue has persisted after the flash. I'm wondering what could possibly be causing this behavior and if it is now worth doing a factory reset to see if that fixes the issue. I'd rather not do that and find out it didn't help because then I'll have to re-setup my phone.
Anyone experienced this, know what's causing it, or if a factory reset might fix the issue? Thanks!
Received my new OPT 1 month ago and have not been able to use it, Wi-Fi and SIM issues.
The unit will loose all network connectivity right off the set-up screen if you wait for 2 or 3 minutes, if you actually enter a valid Wi-Fi code, it won't connect but you reboot from there and it connects to the credentials you had just provided prior to reboot, I'f i complete the full setup and I'm lucky enough to not have the device reboot randomly, it will work until an app or the phone tries to access anything related to localisation, the Localisation icon will popup and then Wi-Fi and SIM's are both disconnected, Wi-Fi eventual comes back if you turn off the localisation icon but SIM's won't until you reboot the device.
I've flashed every official OOS ROM and tried on each same results.
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Help!!! After update to 7.0 my phone has trouble connecting to WiFi. It's not mynetwork because other devices connect and it happens at my workplace too. I've tried clearing the partition cache, restarting it and forgetting the WiFi. Even putting it into airplane mode for a few minutes. I'm not very techie so please keep keep answer easy to understand.
I think I fixed it. I went to my Google account and there was a way to restore my wifi settings.
My wife's G4 has been having the same issue... I cannot get it to reliably connect to any wifi network. Very occasionally it will connect but it only lasts for a few minutes before dropping again. Most of the time it just doesn't see any wifi networks available. I've tried resetting to factory, I've reset default networks under wifi settings, I even applied the new system update that came out yesterday, and still no luck. This is very aggravating. Anyone have any ideas?
I am not sure what the problem could be or whether I have to change some settings but my phones wifi as well as the Bluetooth don't work as expected.
I connect to the wifi at home, then if I go out i switch it off, when later in the evening I turn it on again, it doesn't auto connect (despite me clicking the auto-connect checkbox when putting the password) and I have to go back to settings click on the desired wifi and put the password again; this happens also when I restart my phone( it keeps asking me for my password)
The same goes with the bluetooth, on my s6 it would connect automatically to my car Bluetooth once I went through the initial settings, now even after the initial pair, it doesn't connect unless I put my bluetooth device on discovery mode again.
It's a rooted s8 with MAGISK,twrp installed on it.
I have tried to reset network and other setting,clear cache but no success.
any advice?

I'm having problems with wifi connection. When connecting to wifi networks the phone either freezes and forces a restart or keeps turning the wifi off and on repeatedly while gaining a connection to the wifi network for about 10 seconds inbetween. This is a brand new phone. Tried resetting the network settings, did a system update, multiple restarts etc - nothing helped.
Any help is appreciated.
if it's a brand new phone....go back where you buy it....
That could definitely be a hardware problem--I had an OP5 that behaved similarly because it's motherboard was defective. I would boot the phone into Safe Mode to see if it still happens to verify that a third party app isn't causing your problem.
The other software possibility involves how you set up your phone. If you set it up from a backup (including a Google Cloud backup) rather than completely from scratch as a new device it's possible that the backup restored system data that is causing your issue.
