Hey guys,yestetday before I went to sleep,My phone Overheated and so I tried to turn it off.The power off button didn`t work , so I had to force shutdown.Now,In the morning, I turned on my phone and realised that the boot screen was lagging which was weird.When my phone started, the wifi wont connect and tries to scan the network to find nothing and now wouldnt disable itself.Futhermore, on the status bar, most of the items, when I try to disable, doesnt disable and now, when I enter my pattern unlock, It doesnt accept and just freezes up. Any help?

Help, I had a Tmobile MAD Vario and I was playing around with it, I think all I did was press the wifi option to switch it on, and it was taking longer than normal, so I just pressed the red key to exit out of the screen.
Now, whenever I want to turn the wifi on, I click on the wifi option but nothing happens, even no 'egg timer' - the whole thing just hangs and I have to remove the battery to reboot it!
Any suggestions would be gratefully recieved,
Thanks
So, my brother and I have been running MoDaCo 1.1 core for a couple days now.
My phone has stopped connecting to the mobile network. All it says when I try to connect is "Standby for connecting to mobile network" with a green checkbox. I also notice now when I select the checkbox to connect it turns green instantly and shows that standby message. Before it would take a couple seconds to connect and turn green.
I have tried changing the mode of operation and it still doesn't want to connect. There is no 1x or EVDO in the notification bar. Wifi and GPS still work fine.
My brother's phone is still working fine. I have no idea what the problem can be.
Anybody else having this problem with MoDaCo 1.1?
I think that it has something to do with airplane mode. I enabled airplane mode yesterday, then turned it off. I didn't realize my data wasn't working after that since I don't use it while I'm at home. I am not sure if that is exactly the problem, just trying to think about how it could have stopped working.
I've noticed mine will do this at random on the MoDaCo 1.1 ROM. Every now and then I'll look at my phone and realize my EV symbol at the top is gone and I have no network connection. When this happens both the option in Settings and the small on/off widget on one of my home screens say it's still turned on. If I turn it off and back on, then I just get the "Standby for connecting to mobile network" message too. The only way I've found to get it to work again is to reboot the phone.
FYI this same problem happens to me with the stock ROM, even when it wasn't rooted. I've noticed it only happens when you turn airplane mode on, and then off.
Hmmm...I never touch airplane mode and I never saw this happen once in the month that I had the phone with the stock ROM. Maybe my problem is unrelated then.
Even when I reboot my phone it still doesn't work. I have tried messing around with the widgets turning things on and off multiple times and still nothing can get it working again.
I just went back to an old nandroid backup from before I put MoDaCo 1.1 on the phone and it seems to be working again. I'm going to put 1.1 on again. I'll use it for a while and try to recreate the problem to figure out exactly what it is.
Sprint/HTC has to fix that. it's a bug.
So i wake up this morning and decide to check my email. So i turn on my wifi. When i came back to check it the wifi wasn't turn on. I tried again to turn in on but it says "Unable to scan for network"
It was working perfectly fine last night.
I already tried to restarted by holding the power button and pressing restart and by taking the battery out, but it still keeps saying "unable to scan for network"
oh and I'm running a completely stocked phone.
Could my wifi chip just crapped out on me ?
Restart your phone again and restart your modem/WiFi router. See if works after that. Do the modem and router first before you restart your phone. Disable WiFi on your phone before rebooting.
I tried that also but no luck.
When i try turning the wifi on and after it gives me the message the wifi turns its-self back off.
Same thing happens when trying to make a hotspot.
Anybody ??????
try restore factory settings
So i did a factory reset on the phone and still no luck.
My wifi still doesn't turn on at all.
Whenever I turn on or reboot my phone my wifi turns off and I get a message on the screen saying factory mode is on. Wifi and other functions will be disabled. Please turn off this mode and reboot.*
For the life of me I can't figure out why it is happening. Has this happened to anyone else?

Put the phone into recovery mode, then boot out of it as normal or hold power down for 30 seconds to hard reboot (either is fine btw).. You have somehow toggled the safemode/factory mode on - probably accidental button combo
Thanks very much. Such an easy fix. Had a problem with certain toms rebooting when the message came on the screen.
Thanks again
Hi
I have the same problem. I put the phone in recovery mode and booted out. The problem remains. The battery also gets hot and drains. Please help.

Usually it's because of a bad flash or your /efs partition (directory) got corrupted, some fixes work for some, some don't//// UGH...

I have a stock unrooted Verizon Galaxy S5. For several months my phone has been plagued by several issues at startup. Whether I reboot the phone or start it up after the battery has died, it always enters an odd state immediately after loading and seems to get stuck in this state for an undetermined and variable amount of time (anywhere from a few seconds or minutes to hours or even overnight).
While in this state, this is what happens:
1. Screen stays on. Once I unlock the phone, the screen stays on. The side button doesn't do anything to lock the phone or turn off the screen. Holding down the button, however, still triggers the power menu. The screen timeout never triggers, even though it should turn off the screen after 2 minutes of inactivity.
2. WiFi and Bluetooth turned off. Even if they were turned on before I powered down the phone, they are not enabled when the phone first boots up. I can manually turn them on but the WiFi will not connect to a network, even if one is available. It may show it is connecting to the network, but it gets stuck at "Checking the quality of your internet connection" and continues to use the 4G network for data connectivity. This happens no matter what WiFi network I am within range of, so it's not an issue with the network or router itself. If I am not near a network at all I will still experience the other problems of not being able to lock the phone, etc.
3. Startup applications don't load. I have Tasker on my phone, but it doesn't load and show it's notification bar icon.
Otherwise, I can use the phone normally and open applications, surf the web, etc. It seems that loading some applications and using the phone eventually causes the phone to exit this mode, but I haven't been able to find a single particular application or series of steps to fix the problem. If I power on the phone and don't use it that just seems to make it take even longer to fix itself.
Once it gets out of it's weird state, the WiFi connection will become active (it will turn on WiFi if I haven't done so manually already) and it will connect to a known network if one is available, the phone will lock itself or I can do so from the side button, and things like Tasker and Power Save mode will turn on.
I am stumped as to what could be causing this problem or how to fix it. It seems the phone may be doing some kind of check, maybe related to Knox, that hangs during startup and prevents certain things from working until it straightens itself out.
Any clues into what this problem is, what is causing it or how I could further analyze this problem and determine its cause would be greatly appreciated.
Never heard of or experienced these issues. May want to contact Samsung.
Have you installed any official updates from Verizon at any point? I've heard of phones having phantom problems like this after receiving a bad update. I would definitely contact Verizon if you did update at any point. If not then like BigBot96 said, contact Samsung about the problem.
My wife's Note 2 did something similar when the battery died. I had to factory reset. Her phone was rooted/unlocked & running a custom TW ROM, though. May I suggest doing a complete factory reset and Odin. Backup data to computer or external sdcard since this will clear the entire device.
Edit: After rereading OP's post it actually sounds like an app is hanging at startup which could cause this behavior. A logcat should tell you what's going on.
