Wi-Fi Lost!

Out of the blue I've lost my Wi-Fi capability on my S4.
I've restarted & turned off the phone to no avail. My phone shows up on my router's control panel as active as well as a couple of apps I have.
I've also forgot the connection & reentered all necessary info. Mobile connectivity is fine but as soon as I switch Wi-Fi back on, no tweets, FB notifications, etc.
Suggestions, ideas? TX

Are you on stock rom? Do other devices work on your wifi

I don't want you to root either. It sounds like to me that it's a hardware issue with your phone.

Well, even though my router gave all indications that it was picking up the phone I tried a hunch. Rebooted the router & Wi-Fi is back!

Mate, I have a butt ton of things loading up and it literally takes 25 seconds to load... I clocked it at around 5 - 10 secs on a clean install, how much faster do you want it?
No, there's no setting/switch/button or box to tick.
If you want hot reboot then look at the xposed framework, it gives that option under framework...

What mode do you have to be in to use fastboot? Adb works fine but Idk where to input commands... I'm on Sprint Note 3 N900P

Wrong forum not your model .

does it matter the model if its just an input mode?

Samsung devices have Odin mode, it's Samsung's equivalent to fastboot, to use it you can use an app appropriately named Odin a simple search for the app on the forum will land you with results for both tutorials and download links.

Wifi and data switch off randomly.

Have noticed about once a day at random times, my wifi and data signal will disappear when using the phone. I have to switch airplane mode on and back off to get my connections back. Not a major Issue, but slightly annoying.
Anyone else have this problem or know the cause?

I'm having an issue where my wifi icon disappears but I'm still connected to wifi. Also, the toggle is grayed out. Pretty annoying. I'm on the Sprint GS5.

The toggle is greyed out on mine too and cannot switch it back on. The only difference is that I loose wifi and network connection. Mine is o2 UK unbranded handset.
Update: my connections are still active when this happens.

I'm getting the same thing here, the data and wifi icons occasionally disappear and the wifi toggle goes dark (as if it's not connected), but I'm still connected and get data just fine.

Do you reckon this is a hardware or software fault?

I did install adblock (unrooted) for about 30 minutes and then removed it when I first got my phone. Not sure if the problem started before or after.

Its not problem adaway. I test it.

Would be nice to find out the reason why this is happening.

It didn't happen yesterday so will wait for next samsung update and see if that solves the problem. Unless it gets worse then I will factory reset.
update : shortly after I posted this it happened again so I tested the connection and I was still connected to wifi.

Low Frequency Beep During Calls

Is anyone else having any issues with the speaker when they are making calls on there S5? Whenever I'm talking with someone on the phone every 4 or 5 seconds I hear a low frequency beep the lasts about 1.5-2 seconds and then it goes away... After another 4 or 5 seconds it does it again. I really hope it's a software issue as I don't want to send my new phone in for a repair already.

I will have to try contacting Samsung about the problem. I will let you know what they say. I doubt target would do a straight exchange on the device.

Try disabling CARRIER IQ or removing it if you are rooted and then check for the beep afterwards see if it's gone and let us know what your results.

Well if you are not rooted go into settings then backup and reset and then collect diagnostics and uncheck it and this theoretically turns it off, now if you are rooted you can install root explorer open it up make sure that you are mounted as rw then search the root directory for carrier iq and delete it this removes it from the device.

I have the exact same problem and it annoys the **** out of me when I'm talking on the phone. I'd just love to get an answer why this is happening or just get rid of the problem..

I still haven't found a solution for it.. going to have a look into the carrier iq thing.. any other suggestions are greatly appreciated!

The first thing I did was disable carrier iq when I got my s5 and after seeing this post I made a call to check for the noise and I dont hear it so maybe the carrier iq thing is the ticket.

Sorry.. but what exactly do you mean by "disable carrier iq"? Cause I'm a real newbie when it comes to doing administrative stuff to your phone...
I also thought that it maybe could be worth Factory reseting your phone? But I've got a lot of settings and stuff that I don't want to do again.. but if it's really needed I'll do it.

I tried that. But I'm afraid it did not work.. The annoying sound is still active. But the weird thing is that sometimes and on some calls it's occures very often and being annoying as hell.. and then again it can be off for like another call that lasts 30min+.. I hope that it's the phones own speaker that's broken or something..

Haha I hope you're wrong.. I really hope it's related to carrier iq

Yeah. I tried all of them regular settings. Minutebeep, noise reduction etc.. The sound kept going. But I also noticed that when I connected my headphones and talked trough them that there was no annoying sound.. so I guess it's something with the phones own speaker.
But I put the phone on service today after 11 days of usage... lol. Hope they'll fix it!

I don't hear the issue when I'm using bluetooth in my car either. That being said I'm pretty sure it's a issue with the speaker in the phone. Time to swap it out for another device!

So Undergrad.. are you really swapping it in for another phone? They actually gave me that option.. but I kind of said no.. I just wanted my phone to work 100%.. maybe it was a stupid choice..

Target is ordering me a new device and hopefully it resolves the issue. It certainly appears that the issue is with the speaker.

Do Not Disturb

Have any of you guys tried turning this on? When I try setting always force closes.
UPDATE: I got it working. All of the devices I had that it didn't work on. Had to factory reset. If it doesn't work do it again. If that doesn't work do it again. I got them all working, and some of them took 3 factory resets. At least they are working now.

Yeah its kinda odd. My partner also received his model (ATT) and doesn't have this issue.

Can't figure it out for the life of me. I just tried 5 different edges. 3 of them crash and the other two don't. All T-mobile versions. Waiting for friend with AT&T versions to reply and see what they say.
