Hey all... first for the record, I'm a longtime lurker here but not many posts, but I'm also "answerman" over at PPCGeeks and HowardForums, probably close to 1000 posts at those sites so I am definitely not new to this world...
Looking to see if anyone else has had this issue: I went from the stock Alltel WM6 ROM to the 3.27 radio and the progression of DCD's ROMs from 2.0.0 to 2.1.0 to 2.2.1... and every one has the same issue for me: when I leave my 6800 plugged into the wall charger overnight, the next morning it is locked up solid and I have to soft reset to get it back.
I'm guessing this has less to do with DCD's ROM and more to do with the radio, but I am just looking for clarification. Anyone else seeing this?
I don't have much installed... the next step would be to hard reset and see if the problem arises with no programs installed, but I haven't gotten to that yet... all I have installed besides Odyssey Mobile are HTC X-Button 1.5, VistaHide battery meter, AIM (which I haven't even opened yet), Total Commander, Opera Mobile 8.65, and nandHP FreeCell. And I have it checking 4 email accounts via IMAP once an hour. It's fine during the day, the problem arises only when I leave it plugged in overnight.
Otherwise, DCD's ROMs have been fantastic... fast, reliable (other than the above issue) and GPS has worked flawlessly from day 1 for me... I use Odyssey Mobile (nav program that came with my Holux GPSlim 236) and I get a lock within about 60 seconds of starting up Odyssey, no need to "jumpstart" the GPS.

I'd even like to hear "No, I have not had this problem" from someone... that would be useful...

No, I haven't had that problem. I'm on Verizon though so it might make a difference.
I'm also on Verizon and leave my phone in a charging cradle all night with no problems.
i have the problem, but it seems only if i leave IM+ running overnight, if nothing is running it seems to last fine
Had that problem when I used S2U2.
ok, that would seem to rule out the radio then... that was the answer I was looking for...
I am going to leave it off the charger tonight and see if it happens that way...
[I have a AT&T tilt and more often than not, it is locked up solid in the mornings, whenever i leave it on charging overnight.
Well, the plot thickens... since it had a pretty good charge, I left it unplugged overnight and it was fine this morning after 8 hours of nonuse... so it's not a "lockup during idle" thing. Definitely seems to be related to being plugged in.
Next step is to try a different charger, I guess... weird, because this was never a problem until I reflashed the radio and DCD's ROM, and this is the original OEM charger I'm using so there shouldn't be anything wonky there.
I had this issue with DCD 2.0.0 and 2.1.0, but since 2.2.0 came out, the problem has gone away. I'm now running 2.2.4 and still no problems yet. It only seems to happen if the screen turns off. If you uncheck that setting in the power management, you could avoid the issue.

Isn't the current version 2.2.3?
Edit: Just saw the 2.2.4 version for Sprint. My bad.
Yeah, well I tried that... kinda...
I have my power management settings set to never turn the screen off when it is on external power, and usually I manually put it in standby (screen off) when I charge it, but a couple nights ago I tried leaving the screen on all night and it still did the same thing... so...

i have the issue even when the screen is one (i did have the backlight turning off, that would seem an odd thing to lock it up though)

dcd posted a 2.2.4 test for sprint, its in the second post in his thread
i'm still running dcd 2.1.0 here on verizon. i only had the unit lock up overnight once... the first night after reflashing. i had left a wmirc session open and running -- the next morning the unit was locked up solid and needed a soft reset to fix.
since then, i haven't had it do anything wonky while charging overnight at all, but i usually close all apps when it's done for the night and set down to charge.
could still be a radio issue with data connections causing these crashes... not sure. given all the seemingly known issues with radio v3.27, i can't wait for an update to the radio already...

See, that was what I was wondering... the only thing that should be running when it's charging overnight (I'm pretty anal about closing apps when I am not using them) is Messaging to check my email accounts...there are 3 that get checked every 15 minutes via IMAP... I will try disabling the auto send/receive and see if that makes a difference.
I installed 2.2.4 and went to break, came back and my device was locked again. It's hooked to my pc via USB. Not sure if those details help or not. Running Vista Ultimate x64. This didn't appear to happen with 2.2.1 or 2.2.2. Could just be coincidental. Overall, great ROM!
i am having the same, my phone is password protected in the morning when left charging overnight. I am currently using DCD 2.5 but it was also happening using PPCkitchens newest build. After doing a little research it seems to mostly be happening to the Alltel 6800s.
mine usually locks up once or twice during the day, and only when it is in a timed-out/sleep state. I have to push the reset button/hole thing to bring it back, but I have never woken up to it being frozen, but that could be because of my power settings.
Set your screen/power to always stay on when plugged in on external power, but still to time out/off after 1minutes on battery power. You should set it to that, because I let mine charge all night and never wake up with it frozen.
also, when mine does freeze, during the day, the service light is still blinking green, like it still has a signal...i dont get it. you would think that would stop too when it froze. hmm.
it happens to me a few times...seems to happen after a new rom update...but mostly goes away after a few days..i noticed it alot after 3.2.0
i leave it charging and i thinks it just in standby until i push the power button...but its frozen and got to soft reset
i posted about it on this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402920&page=38
My issue is not that the phone is frozen but is actually locked with a password and I have not set any passwords or lock on my phone. I have tried the epst unlock code, and my phone number but it still will not unlock unless I soft reset.
So, lovin' most everything about this phone, but, one annoying thing that keeps happening; I get random bt disconnects with my Jawbone era and my plantronics voyager pro plus.
It happens anywhere, in the car, in the house, outside, so Its not interference from another BT source...
Anyone else getting this or figured out how to stop it?
I've done all the OTA stuff, and I am not temp rooted, no ever tried to be..
thanks!
The only bluetooth device that I use is a bluetooth full face helmet on my bike. I will get random disconnects, but I had thought that this was due to the bluetooth radio in my helmet being of only so so quality.
well, this never happened with my evo4g, so I am suspicious that the BT radio isnt as good as the one in the e4g was

I paired it with my Camry's hands free system yesterday and haven't seen any BT disconnects so far. You may have a defective phone.
I have connected to my Handfree in my '09 Lancer and didn't experience any disconnects for 12 hours straight. I also have a Nokia BH-503 and it never disconnects either. Maybe get a replacement phone?
Others are having bluetooth issues as well, mine takes the form of music skipping.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16008951
You are not alone.
For me it runs better than the EVO 4G. But it does occasionally disconnect. But never in the middle of a call. I'm using an old Sony HeadSet.
One trick I used to use on marginal connections over bluetooth was to try pairing it at the maximum distance you can. It *MAY* choose a better channel. Sometimes you have to clear out the history of the old channel or it may reuse that. Only way I know to clear it is factory reset.
Has anyone tried the phone with one of those high priced Bose Bluetooth headsets?
The random disconnects with the Jawbone Era are really annoying to me, but, if its the phone, and not the headset, thats a different issue.
I've already replaced one evo3d due to random rebooting, so I don't want to have to try to replace it again..
thanks
I have a blu ant. And music and call quality are great. No disconnects at all. Have you tried Bluetooth with a different model??? Might just be the unit itself.

Just bought a Q2 Blueant, so here's hoping I can get it to work right!
You should have no probs at all. They make quality Bluetooths.

I had this exact same problem on my EVO 4G. Still happens on the 3d. I have used many different Bluetooth handsets to no avail. Doesn't happen as often with the 3d but it is maddening, because it seems like once it starts it does it all day, and many times right when I am answering a call.

I am having the exact same problem. My bluetooth goes into headset mode when I answer the phone or make a phone call, which pisses off me and the person I'm calling because we can't hear each other and I have to hang up and call them back... Really frustrating

I didnt have hardly any bluetooth problems with mine, my girlfriends, or my best friends og evo's. I upgraded to the 3vo and was having the disconecting issues and my phone would randomly reboot and then freeze while bluetooth streaming (Thats really the only bluetooth I use) so I took it back and ended up buying a 3vo out right. Still have the same issues. Its probably a software bug and will hopefully be fixed in a later update or custom rom
ive been having problems with my lg headset and disconects.. re connects.. took it in to the sprint store, they ran tests on it and it failed both radio tests that they did.. getting a new one tomorrow.. for those that are getting random disconects.. and a lot of droped calls.. have your radios checked out at the sprint service centers... it could be a bad phone.. (sadly.. im getting a refer 3vo back.. **sighs**)
Not sure if it's my phone or my headset. Occasionally while talking the headset will tell me it's out of range and then reconnect (the phone is usually in my pocket or hand). I'll miss about 10-15sec of the conversation. Sometimes it'll do it repeatedly other times not as often. I don't have another Bluetooth headset to test with. I've had the headset about 8mths and this started happening about a month ago.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I would like to share an interesting observation I have also made about Bluetooth disconnections with phone in the pocket.
1) When the phone is in my shirt pocket, and I turn my head to its extreme, sometimes (not always), the connectivity gets disrupted. but unlike your experience, this is only for a secong, and as soon as I turn my head back to normal viewing angles, its ok.
2) with phone in trouser pocket, if I place my hand over the phone same disconet happens depending on which part of the phone gets covered.
Based on these two observations, and knowing that Bluetooth is a short range , line of sight connection, there is something in the materials your clothes include that probably inhibit the line of sight connectivity.
Hope that helps in understanding the momentary loss of BT connection, but not for a 15 seconds like you seem to be experiencing.
cheers

Bluetooth car audio disconnect and connect in cycle
I am experiencing similar issue with bluetooth audio calls in my car. I tried two separate KitKat roms (PSX & Beanstalk 4.4.225) and in both versions, phone bluetooth disconnected and reconnected, it seems like 20 seconds cycle. It would drop for about 5 seconds. I noticed the first it dropped was when the screen turned off. It is impossible to carry on a conversation as it would constantly connect and disconnect. Is this an issue with every kitkat rom?
I have E970.

It must be a KitKat related issue because I didn't have the issue on JB (SlimBean). Thought it may have something to do with the radios. It's intermittent which is a blessing and a curse. I can go a week or two with no issue...then multiple times on a one call (I could put the phone down and make a sandwich if mom is talking...she'd not notice...thus a great tester for this kinda stuff)
I've tried several (if not all) KK radios...no noticeable impact on this issue.
I'm also on the e970.
Note: I'm not losing connection for 15 sec. The headset says 'out of range' then immediately 'connecting'...but it takes time to reconnect and get the phone conversation back. I usually power cycle the headset since it seems more likely to be stable...otherwise it's likely to disconnects/reconnects over and over and over.

Yes, this really seems to be KitKat issue. I installed ParanoidAndroid and it was somewhat better in a sense, it didn't disconnect/connect as often. I do think, bluetooth gets killed when the screen is turned off and then gets turned back on. I can provide with a log file if someone has any ideas on this issue. Definitely I do want to drive handsfree.

Well, I think it may not be kk problem after all because I installed CyanogenMod version 11-20140225-nightly-e970 and I did not experience any issues so far. I will update if I encounter this issue in future.
When I had installed paranoidandroid beta 6, I did not have to install any radios either but still had issue.
For CM11, I did not have to flash any radios either and it is working without any issues till now.
So I've noticed that randomly throughout the day my phone will randomly disconnect from Wifi and Bluetooth. It always drops both at the same time then reconnects.
Has anyone else had this problem?
For me the Mobile Connection Drops every few seconds.....No Network...4G TLE with 5 Bars.......No Network...4G TLE with 5 Bars.....No Network...4G TLE with 5 Bars.....No Network...4G TLE with 5 Bars...
Got my My LG G5 from T-Mobile... After 3 days the phone has been overheating, and every 10 seconds it drops Mobile Connection...I went through a plethora of tests with T-Mobile Support and they determined that I need a replacement device...so waiting for the replacement...One other thing, I notice this happened after calling T-Mobile to Unlock the device...So not sure if there is any correlation between my issue and T-Mobiles Unlock App, T-Mobile said the two were not related.
WiFi is unstable for me, too. Disconnects randomly every hour or so. I mostly notice it when casting to my Chromecast. I have to reconnect to the app in order to regain control. I've tried multiple routers, and the problem is reproducible with both. Bluetooth hiccups, too, but never fully disconnects. I haven't noticed that the WiFi and Bluetooth disconnects coincide. Mine is AT&T branded.
I've got a similar issue, only the wifi is fine most of the time, but Bluetooth skips every few minutes and has completely dropped twice. I'm exchanging my device tomorrow to see if that fixes it. I also got a crap battery as well. Kinda disappointed with this $700 purchase.

Me too, i disappointed
Okay so, I've only managed to reproduce it on 5GHz networks. It doesn't seem to drop out on the 2.4GHz band. Bluetooth doesn't drop out either.
Scrap that, just happened again at work on a 2.4GHz connection. Hopefully it's just a software bug that will be fixed in a later patch.
I have 5Ghz wi-fi at home and it's been rock solid. Have also had no issues with bluetooth. Hope you get it figured out.
Both bands Wi-Fi & BT rock solid for me too. The BT in particular seems much stronger than my 6P which had occasional drop outs even at close range.

I notice that it reports "Avoiding poor connection" in the WiFi menu when it's disconnected. I'm sitting in the room with the router, so maybe the "poor connection" detection is too aggressive.
Mine just starting dropping WiFi while the screen is off, I check the settings and everything is setup right it just started to happen today. I would F/R the phone and see if that helps
I exchanged mine for a new one, and the WiFi connection remains inconsistent.

Mine also does this and seems to be getting worse also vibrations have also stopped all together
I can't even get through 1-2 songs on bluetooth before it disconnects and plays through my phone speakers... it has zero issues connecting in the first place and sounds fine, but then just drops.
I do have pretty unreliable wifi at home so I'm playing some music with wifi switched off to see if it could somehow be related to wifi dropping, but these songs I'm playing are cached to my phone from Play Music so that'd seem weird to me..
Also wondering if hardware and distance has an issue with it. I had it 2-3 yards away from my bluetooth shower speaker when it disconnected. I'm playing it right next to it now and so far into song 2 with no issues. I've never had this issue with my G4, which is a bummer, because that phone was a piece of junk that my G5, otherwise, outclasses in every possible way.
To update, the Bluetooth issues absolutely seem to be linked to wifi drops, at least from my testing. Even playing local media, I noticed both dropped at the same time, but I played through 5 songs with my wifi toggled off and not a single problem.
Those of you with issues in the car, is your wifi toggled off completely? I'm wondering if it's affected by having wifi on, or just by a random wifi drop.
I've had wifi issues with every Android phone I've owned since IPv6 became normal in home routers. I blame Google for refusing to use DHCPv6, the most widely used dynamic network addressing protocol, instead using some weirdass protocol called RDNSS which NOBODY uses. I've found the best fix is to ensure your router is set to stateless autoconfiguration for IPv6, but it doesn't fix it completely. Those who have a router that can shut v6 off, try it out. Xfinity doesn't let you.
I will say my g4 behaved the exact same way on wifi, but I don't remember Bluetooth having issues. I don't use it much, though, since I have an AUX in my car and Chromecast music.
Having the same issue as well. Fought with sprint for weeks and went through a few replacements in that time... Got the G5 as a free upgrade and it's doing the same thing. Done with LG devices...
Yes, and I just made a thread about it. Oops. Anyone try resetting phone? I'm about to but that's a pain having to bring it all back and make sure I back everything up.

That is not promising as I've had this issue since day one hoping an update would solve it to no avail trying to avoid getting a replacement.
My last phone did the exact same thing. For 2 years. Also constantly closing apps I was using, freezing, and my keyboard would disappear frequently. It did it from Day 1. It was a nightmare.
Finally got a new phone (and moved up to Marshmallow,) and the drops have started happening after less than 1 week. They really need to find out what's causing this!
Ive started having crackling sounds with Bluetooth Anyone else having those issues? unrooted Vs990 running marshmallow, Nova beta
If there is one thing that has seriously troubled me with this phone it is the bluetooth performance. About every 2-3 months mine seems to degrade. It gets to the point where if any other data signal is happening (running another app, email downloading in the background, etc) while I'm streaming music over bluetooth it cuts out, stutters, crackles, etc. This even occurs if my music is on my SD card and not coming over a data connection.
If I do a factory reset it completely clears it up and I have no issues for about 2 months, at which point the degrading starts again and within a month gets so bad again I have to do another factory reset.
I have the same issue... Extremely frustrating as I use bluetooth headphones and speakers and both have the same problem.
I actually have zero BT issues with this phone. I had to get rid of my n6 due to BT problems so i understand the frustration but i seem to ne free of this. I use BT all day every day
After doing some research I came across a small blurb in reddit where someone fixed a Samsung with a similar problem. Followed the rabbit hole to battery optimization and it seems to fixed my problems. Here's my posted solution. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/help/marshmallow-blue-tooth-problems-solved-t3409943/page1
