Phone: Snapdragod S10+ (SM-G9750)
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.

I have a Xoom MZ601 from Hong Kong, running Tiamat-Xoom-Rom-2.2.2.Moray
It was working OK until a few days ago. System boots up ok. I can open programs and settings. However, as soon as it hooks to a wifi network, it reset itself.
I've tried pulling the SIM card and micro SD in and out.
I've played around the frequency (Tiamat settings)
I've tried uninstalling all programs I installed in the last few days.
... and still no luck.
Any idea anyone?
Did you try wiping in recovery and starting over?
Sorry to thanks too late, I was overseas.
Thanks for the advise. I've tried that and still the same problem.
Somehow, it happens when the tablet loses the Wifi signal. It reset itself. After it re-start, it keeps reseting itself when connecting to my home network.
I managed to make it work by going to setting quickly and disabling the wifi.
The only way to make the wifi to work again is turning off my wireless modem, then let the tablet boot up and fail to connect to any wifi. I will then turn on my modem, "et voila" it works again.
Very Strange glitch.
Any one have similar issue?
I don't know if my issue is related to the Wifi or not, but mine has been randomly rebooting constantly! I can't pin-point exactly a cause, however, I've tried to factory reset it many times to no avail...
I'm thinking now it could be the modem.
I'm using the Dynalink RTA1046VW. I'll try playing with it.
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?
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?
Hello everybody,
Have bought an H870DS and apart from the missing root permissions happy with it.
The problem now is that when I'm at work it loses the wireless connection after some time and stops seeing networks (see picture). The only thing that helps is rebooting or switching aircraft mode on and off (in the long run it is not a solution) and then it keeps the connection for some time. Happens only in the work environment and not at home. I already deleted system cache data and could still factory reset. Happens also with disabled data saver, VPN, alarm, etc.
I have another week to return the device. Can someone help me.
Install LG bridge software on your PC and update your firmware, even if you're running the latest revision of Android for your phone.
I know i'm not alone since i've seen this issue not only on my phone. When i'm at home my phone is mostly connected to wifi. My router is Linksys AC1900. Sometimes both the wifi and 4G icons appear together. when this happens my battery is draining like hell. a simple restart of the phone or the router is not a solution - i found that in order to make the 4G icon go away i need to first turn off the router so the phone is connected only to the mobile network, than i have to turn off both the data connection and wifi of the phone; than i need to go and clean the cache through the builtin recovery menu. the problem is that sometimes even performing all these things is not enough and the 4G icon won't go away. Download booster and Smart network switch are both turned off, but playing with them do not really affect the issue. also i tried connecting to both 2.4 or 5ghz wifi with no difference. i also tried setting a fixed IP address for my phone, but again this does not affect the issue. any ideas? i'm pretty certain that it's not a hardware issue since i've seen it happening to other people too. it's quite annoying since it's totally destroying the battery life of the phone and it seems that there's no real solution for this behavior.
What model number is your phone? Have you considered reflashing firmware / factory resetting the phone?
The model is 935f. I've tried reflashing with stock several times (the phone is not rooted) but after a while the problem comes back. This is the only issue I've had with this phone but it's quite annoying.
I've got the same issue. The only solution i've seen till now is to reflash with a custom rom.
Same
I have picked up the same type of issue. I did some snooping around and have found that if I have my mobile data on when in the streets and when I get home and I turn on my wifi, that if my wifi signal is very bad and my mobile data is on, then it would show both signals. It's as if the phone tries to get whatever data from both, since the wifi is so bad. I agree that it really chows the battery. The only fix I could get to work is to switch of the data and move closer to the wifi where it's the strongest. I will sit at the router for a minute or two, It then automatically removes the 4g sign and only works on wifi. If I stay where the wifi signal is bad and disable mobile, it stays there even though my data is off.
Did you do a factory reset and restore your phone to its original settings?
