Wifi has this weird issue where it wants to scan my home network even though its connected a million times to it. Almost like it forgets lol. I usually have to disable then enable it; not a big deal i guess but still a bug for sure!

fixes:

Mine does the same but after I wake the phone I have no problems. Maybe a 3 second delay reconnecting.

Release notes would be great. Photon WIFI/VPN is putting out extra packets which are then blocked by some routers. If the wireless router is used as a router and not an AP and IP6 is disabled, the problem seems to be corrected (i.e.: no reconnection failures in over a week when it used to happen every 2/3 days. See motorola photon forum for more details.)

My wifi seems to work pretty good at work and at home. I havent noticed the phone constantly scanning but I havent been looking for it either.

as of today my phone will not connect to wifi at all... release notes and date would be very much appreciated.

Any confirmation on this update? I have to reboot to use my GPS pretty much every time. SG2 comes out Friday, I'm returning it if I can't get a solution.

Me either always works and works great, also pretty fast as well. My issue is the voice/3G radio locking up and then the phone reboots.
so it seems some are having a WIFI issue and others voice/3G... rather odd thing going on there.

Super annoying text app!

Im using stock because I love it, but all of my recieved texts are coming in from an hour later, even though my phone says current time. So when i reply, my messages aren't at the bottom. I cleared data, rebooted, no go. Anyone know how to fix?
It was working fine until i went across the border from eastern timezone to central, then the phone has ever since had this bug...!

The only thing the OTA actually did was update a few apps... the phone doesn't reboot after finishing or anything. Doesn't change any of the radios or anything from what I noticed.
Would a factory reset fix this? I'm not roaming anymore and it's still displaying an hour later.

download "sms time fix" from the market like jaskwith said, set it to use phone time and BAM! your troubles are gone. this is an easy fix. no need for a hard reset
I recommend simply updating your Profile and PRL on your device. I had that happen to a friend and once I updated those two things for her, her problem went away.

Can't run Speedtest.net -- "Network communication issues"

So, I'm trying to run the SpeedTest.net application, and when it goes to find the closest server, it keeps saying "Network communications issues." Is anyone else having this problem? I can browse, and everything seems to be working fine. This is the only thing that's not working.
Did you get the new update of the speedtest app?
Sake issue here. Buddy of mine Tampa had the issues last night on WiFi AND 3G but has since been resolved for him. I am having issues on both too. Has not been resolved for me yet. He said that afterwards his speeds climbed to above 2MB on Sprint 3G after it was resolved though.

I have this problem too. I'm not certain if this is the case for you, but it is for me, my 3G service disconnects every minute or so for some reason. Because of that, it is difficult for the speedtest to complete.

I had this problem too.
I had this app added from a mybackup pro. Uninstalled and reinstalled speedtest and all is working fine.
I have had the same thing happen with other apps...most work fine, but a few require the uninstall/reinstall routine.
Yea, tried that a little bit ago and actually worked HaHa

i kept running into network errors when i first got the phone but since changing from LTE/CDMA to just CDMA the error has yet to come back, when i drop signal for longer then 2-3 min it asks for my time zone

Hi this worked for me. I'm stock and experienced connection issues with my wifi...sitting 2 feet from the router!!! Never had any problems connecting anything via wifi b4.
Go to settings>>wifi>>menu>>advanced. in the advanced section there is a radio button to enable Best Wi-Fi performance. Once activated I had no more connection problems.
Hope this helps.
Not sure if this might help but I changed WiFi to 2.4 GHz and like above best WiFi per. So far good

I did this and it worked for me briefly but then reverted to "authenticating" and then telling me it is the wrong access key for the network. I don't understand why it's doing this but at least for me it seems to be a 1.22 based problem as everything I've run with the prior firmware has been fine....

I've reset the router multiple time and even gave my EVO a static ip to see if that would work. I guess I'll ruu and see if that will help. It's weird though.

Verizon's 4g data problem.

OK, I'm not sure if anyone one else has or is experiencing a data connection problem with Verizon's 4g toggling off and on. I know I "was" and this is my theory and it has actually worked for me but first let me start from beginning. I got new tbolt because having this issue, I rooted and install ROM and everything seem as it was fine until I decided to connect to myverizon app and as soon as I did I started experiencing the toggling off and on again. So I decided to un-install myverizon app and reflash radio again and sure enough everything fine now. Well like I said just my theory but I think if u log in to myverizon app its causing this data problem. Inconclusion if you un-install myverizon app and reflash radio you shouldn't have any more data connection problems.

I constantly have to log in to My Verizon app. It's just part of how the ROM that im using works. I'm running Jellyblur 1.3 and have 4G data drops without even moving my phone on my desk at work. Considering I don't stay logged into My Verizon, I don't see how uninstalling it and reflashing my radio would make a difference. I love a good conspiracy theory though!

I'm saying don't use at all. Yes to update to see how much data u have used u have to constantly log in to update. What I'm saying is if u don't use at all don't even log in to myverizon. Give it a try... Delete myverizon don't re install flash radio again and tell me if your data connection is still dropping.

For what it's worth, I never installed the My Verizon app on any of my ROMs and only had it while stock, which was a year ago. I still got major 4G connectivity issues a few months ago like so many others. Made the phone damn unusable at times.
Yeah I know it was a frustration for me. Have u tried new radios? .19 radios

I went radio happy a month ago and flashed them like they were ROMs. Tried probably 5 or 6 of them. I even tried different combinations of CDMA and LTE radios separately. No significant changes although the .9 or .19 radios seem to work equally well for me.

I can understand that. Seeing as how we don't have root yet, I cannot tell you in-depth way around to reset app and wifi calling. Only way I can think is that app has faulty install or something obviously broke in running. For temp, have you restarted the device then tried? How good is location/satellite service (GPS only, battery saver)? If so, I would recommend (sadly) a factory reset and redo the wifi calling. If something still broke and error still persists, then maybe faulty hardware at this point. I had to factory reset first day I got it due to issue with brightness not sensing correctly. Everything works now. Ill keep looking at it but for now, only way is through restriction by phone not root yet.
That's the thing haha to have a solution before I have to FR the device. GPS is good in this area maybe is address...

I know, no root limits answers we can give obviously haha. Try address but I don't think that would cause FC in location query. The app should have just told you no good, not FC. That's why I can see this is frustrating haha. I have no FC and could not reproduce by wrong address and such. Ill keep looking.
Yeah that's exactly how I feel... Frustrated. FC every time when authenticating

Sorry to hear. That's all I got now since no root to edit other files. I'd just try another wifi if you can and see if it happens again. If so, no dice, sounds like FR to resolve only way.
I'll be doing some changes like moving from this area to see if it is the gps or the hardware. The last thing I'll do is the reset tho.

It is real annoying when it happens. I shut it off for now because I didn't really need it on. I get pretty good signal but it seems to be in and out at work sometimes so I liked having it on. But it does me no good if almost every call I get does that. I assume they are working out the bugs in it.

WiFi calling works fine for me but not for texting. Ill have to retry to send the text a few times before it goes through. Also my mobile signal drops to no bars when WiFi is on, and returns when i turn it off.
