Losing wifi - Motorola Droid X2

Hello,
I have a DX2 that is work supplied, it is rooted but I haven't had good luck with loading custom ROMs with motorolla phones in the past so I'd like to avoid it if possible.
I connect to WiFi to receive emails in my house as I have really bad signal, but randomly my WiFi will grey out and I receive no data until I toggle it on/off. Some nights its no problem, some nights its every hour. WiFi sleep is set to never.
My galaxy nexus, droid bionic, HTC incredible, and droid 2 global never had this issue, so I'm a bit stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You should not have any problems with stock MotoBlur and Wi-Fi. Do you know if you have tinkered with any of the files/settings? Frozen system files by mistake perhaps? I would suggest backing up and wiping cache and data and see if it helps and if you want to stay stock.

Interesting. I did in fact freeze some apps. I'll re-look at what I froze when I get home. Thanks!

signal/data issues...

Hi there
long time reader first time poster here...
searched and found nothing...
running the latest gingerbread AT&T official on a AT&T atrix (currently unlocked and running on the Rogers network in canada)
i seem to be having an issue with my Atrix lately(or at least been noticing).... normally when i am connected to the data networks fine, my signal meter and H+ are is blue...
what has been happening is if i leave the phone alone for some time (usually 20+), it just disconnects from the data services... all my signal meter and H+ meter turns grey... when i "wake" the device it takes a couple seconds to kick back to blue... when this is going on i go into my gtalk and i see it had signed me out and that its trying to sign me back in.... same thing with alot of other apps, like my issimo app, its been sign out, or hasnt received any new updates since it turned "grey".
how do i stop this? is this a bug? something wrong with the OS? will i have to reflash?
any thoughts on this would be appreciated!
thanks!
UPDATE:
had battery save mode on nighttime, so i thought that was the issue... so i changed it to performance and doing that had no effect at all... still losing data after a while of it being locked...
any ideas? could this maybe be some residual affects from a battery saver app i add?
i really would not like to reload the OS...
anyone got any ideas?
i'm finding any solution for the same problem, some atrix lose data signal, motorola says that is a software problem but i dont find a fix for that yet, any idea?
It's a software issue on Motorola's end. I'm having the same problem. I haven't flashed a custom ROM yet, but my friend had the same problem and he said when he flashed Gingerblur it was fixed.
when i seemed to notice it was when i had upgraded to gingerbread... so what i simply did was deleted my APN, rebooted and entered in the APN again, and that seemed to have solved it
@OP I don't use GTalk so I can't comment on that, but the signal than that you described is EXACTLY what my SGS does running on stock Froyo rooted.
I don't know if its more battery saving or what, but I tend to miss more calls in weaker signal areas when my phone has been on idle for a while.
I too am looking for a fix because of that. Also my Atrix sometimes acts the same way on Froyo, but I haven't used my Atrix in a while...

kinda still having the issues but i have been dealing with it and trying out different ROMs to see if those are any help at all... so far its intermittent
Same kinda style here ..
When i am on my mobile data it's fine , but as soon as i connect to a wi-fi it become grey and no more data (mobile/wireless) is working ...
Tried many ROMS , Radios , all the same...
That new leaked radio they got doesn't work here in Bakersfield the 1.77.36p
Shoot I was lucky to get 00.04 mbps download and 00.01 upload
When I reflashed the previous radio I got 05.00down 2 up mbps much better one
1.7730p but It may make the phone run warmer

Yes I found this to be true as well. The new radio (1.77.36) dropped signal for me often and the speeds were lower than with 1.77.30
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
why not upgrade your radios to the latest AT&T has to offer? 1.97.00 see if that helps?
im having the same issue
anyone knows why this is happening? i have cyanogemod 7, i reflashed the phone, and when it started i restored but the problem just keep going
I have a very similar problem. When the H+ is lit up blue I have a network connection. But it will switch to grey then internet ect stops working ..still have signal (4 bars) any ideas why it keeps switching?
I've had the same issue ever since I first got my atrix. I've tried many different roms and it does it with every one. Ill have great signal n my browser will direct my to a no data connection page. I have to reboot or turn airplane mode off n on to get it going again. I have like a month left on my warranty gonna try n swap it out n see if a different one will fix the problem

Has HTC confirmed a fix yet?

Random reboots

From what my friend told me (vzw business rep) less than 10% of the Rezounds have these problems and some of the problems are caused by current problems in the 4G network.
No software release by htc at this time.
I would get the phone replaced at a vzw store where you can play with the phone to see if it works like it should.

Haven't had a random reboot yet.
No WiFi problems.
What do you mean by "connection hiccups"? I can't think of anything that would come close to what I think you mean.
No random apps closing.
Battery is in line with other HTC phones. Sense is just a battery hog. Wait for S-OFF and custom kernels and you'll see leaps and bounds of battery improvements.
I have none of the reported issues...
I am shocked at how long the battery lasts... 20% better than my old TB after ROMS and Kernel tweaks.
I agree, I get battery life than my TBolt did and have not had any of the problems listed above.

I haven't had any of these issues either. Have you tried a factory reset yet? It's relatively easy to do and could possibly help if you are having issues with apps and random reboots.
If that doesn't help definitely return it and get a new one. Hopefully the issues will not continue.
The battery life is going to depend on each person's location.
I got 30 hours when I was at home over the weekend, and 8 hours when I spent the day at the university. The reason being signal strength. I didn't use it any more than I did at home.
Also if you are in a low signal area the phone strains to get the data signal resulting in battery overheating and browser problems.
Sent from my Galaxy Tab 10.1
no random reboot issues here... the GF's tbolt is another story though that thing is awful.
Radio would be nice - i frequently go in and out of 4g areas and the radio does have a tough time picking which one to use.
The rest of the issues noted I haven't seen at all!
for me:
video playback occassionally goes out of sync
while headphones/aux is plugged in and nothing is playing(or at low volume) there's this static/hiss sound
phone gets really hot often(and when it goes over 100F the battery depletes quicker
screen is incredibly sensitive and keeps thinking I'm tapping on things that I'm not
have weird random browser lag(regardless of browser) where ill select something and nothing will happen... then after like 10 - 15sec, the new page suddenly pops up
those are my 'regular' issues. I've only had the phone reboot by itself once & the battery was super hot then. also, I will get FC's here & there but its not common.
I still blame sense/bloatware
[EDIT]: I forgot to mention that sometimes if I go to a 3G area, it will not go back to 4G on its own. ill have to manually turn the radio off/on, then it kicks back into 4G

i was actually impressed with the radio on the phone, maybe thats because i updated from a samsung fascinate which fascinated me as to how bad the radio was, excuse the bad pun
guys, open tickets with HTC and complain about your problems. t hat's the ONLY way they're gonna find out, besides seeing a high exchange rate! let's tell them EXACTLY what's wrong! my open ticket is about the crappy mic recording in the video mode, and i also brought up light leak and the background noise with music. they've escalated me to another hihger support team whos gonna contact me wtihin a week
Ditto on being impressed with the radio. I get -75db in the same metal building in which my hTC EVO 4G could muster -90db at best. The external antenna on the battery cover really do the trick.
Never had a random reboot or force close.
No problems with WiFi (except that LTE is so fast I never want to connect to my home internet!)
I get 8-10 hrs from the batt, on Performance mode, connected to 4G and heavy use. Picked up a spare battery to take me through the evening after I swap it after work.
My stock browser has always crashed occasionally, my incredible did it when it was stock and rooted and my rezound does it exactly the same way, its a software problem. I have had 2 random reboots so far not enough to complain. Other than that great, love this phone.
The only problem I have had is my phone not connecting to 4g but I think juice defender was the problem.

What someone with some time needs to do is get a digital petition up on the forums with phones having these problems ( Inc, TBolt, Rezound etc.) and try to get several thousand signatures to send to HTC because VZW doesn't care. That might get htc to do a software fix.

Battery drain

I have been having battery issues for about 3 weeks now. Plus the phone is nowhere near as fast as it was. As you can see, I'm not getting what I should from the MAXX battery. I'm on the .75 leak and have been for 2 months. How do I figure out what is killing my phone?

Forgot to mention, my screen is set to 30% brightness and I used to have it at 100% and would still get 2 days out of it.

I'm pretty sure that's just from the unrefined nature of the .75 leak. Have you considered updating to the .79 leak? It remains fastbootable while patching a lot of bugs and I would guess increase performance.
I don't think so. I've had ICS for 2 months now and the problem is only recent. I don't know if it is an app I downloaded or what. The problem is that I don't know how to find out what it is. Between Amazon free apps and other programs, I don't know how to diagnose what is killing my battery and slowing my phone down. I am sure there is a way to figure it out, I just don't know how other than deleting an app a day and watching performance. I imagine there must be an easier way.

Do you always use 4G? It has higher power consumption.
Do you have any under clock settings for screen off that you just set, the lower frequency could be keeping it out of deep sleep.
And to see what apps are using up your battery, download Watchdog Task Manager Lite, it informs you of tasks, apps or processes that are using up a lot of cpu, memory and keeping your phone awake while in deep sleep.

I stopped using WiFi 2 days after getting the phone because 4G is honestly faster and I still have unlimited data. I have never used any set-cpu settings because I never felt I had to with this phone like I did on my DInc2. The issue I have is it was working great one day, and suddenly the performance changed without anything I can think of other than keeping skype on. I just flashed back to .181 with the expected ICS OTA. Totally screwed up. Didn't nandroid, didn't TB, just did it on a whim. Now I have encountered a whole new set of issues. It's gonna be a long night. Once I get all this fixed, I will try the app you suggested so thanks. Sigh.
"The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." And now I can't do crap with it other than reboot. Man, I should have just left well enough alone. Dammit.
What Leak you got installed? If it's the 75 or 79 you can flash back to 181 I guess.
That's what I read the last days many times.

Yeah.. just flashed back to .181. Voodoo rootkeeper didn't work. I got root back through the razr utility. TB wouldn't work but then I rebooted and it worked although I got the error message I mentioned above. Did a factory reset. Kept root but now my backup directory in TB is not available. Tried rebooting and it still won't work. At this point, all I care about is that my alarm works and I can go to bed and work on it again tomorrow. BTW.. after having ICS for the last few months, I forgot how much Gingerbread sucks just on a user friendly level. Took me a Google search to remember how to turn on USB debugging. :laugh:
Nevermind. You can't restore from TB while still plugged and in debugging mode because the system can't access the SD card. D'oh!
Note to all users. Always back your s**t up before you mess with your phone. I hadn't TB'd in a week and lost all my notes from this week. Thankfully the phone is working back to normal on 2.3, but I lost some numbers I needed to call because I forgot to backup.
Good news: I can focus on my original problem and find out what is killing the battery.
Bad news: I didn't TB and don't know where my dentist appt is tomorrow, lost the numbers to 2 new clients and 1 new booty call.
Extra bad news: She was really hot too. :crying:

Keeping Skype on, especially when not connected to WIFI was most likely your problem, look at how low your cell standby was in that screenshot, that's indicative of something constantly using the cell radios and clearly it wasn't your voice calls, so skype maintaining a constant data connection plus it preventing the phone from going to deep sleep is almost certainly the source of that problem.

Today was a crap day. I am back to .181 without root. Voodoo didn't work for me. Oh well. The problem now is that when I root through Matt's utility and then restore with TiBu, it creates all sorts of issues with my phone like my home screen reloading, the calendar being unable to load, the home button not working, etc. The phone is fine now, but I want it back to all the settings I had. Could it be because I backed up while on ICS and now am trying to restore on GB?
Any suggestions here?

The backing up on ICS and restoring to GB would only mess up if you're restoring apps and data because ICS app data isn't compatible with GB.

2 small issues?

Hello all,
I have had my note II for about 2 weeks now. I absolutely love the phone! However, I've noticed two issues that are sort of small now, but I am worried that they could grow larger soon.
1. LTE drops. This isn't often, but it does happen sometimes. I found a thread with people talking about this, but never really found an answer. I don't lose LTE, but I just drop to 3G. I thought it would be because of where I was, but when I looked at my mother's iPhone, and my dad's note II, they both had LTE. These drops only last for 10 minutes max, but it is worrysome.
2. Reboots! This is something new. I had quite a lot with my bolt, and hoped it would dissappear with this phone. While researching help with my LTE drops not twenty minutes ago, my phone randomly went dark, and the samsung boot logo appeared. Has this happened to anyone? I don't want this turning into my bolt!

LTE has been great for me and I haven't had any reboots, I'd recommend wiping (and installing a ROM), CleanROM & Beans are both based on stock, so you get all the features and maximum performance.

1. I too experience random LTE drops down to 3G every once in awhile. It hasn't happened since I installed Jelly'Beans' ROM but on stock it happened a few times.
2. Haven't had a random reboot yet. Did once have to do a battery pull due to running profile 5G of the Perseus Kernel. My CPU can't take those low voltages.

From my experience, neither one of these is normal, nor acceptable on the Gnote 2. And they are not small issues. I would request a replacement.
I work in a heavy congested area and I believe Verizon towers get overloaded. I have solid 4G in the morning or at night, but during lunch time it almost always becomes slow and drops to 3G or even 1X. My coworker who sits next to me has an iPhone 5 and sees the same thing happen (I have an HTC DNA btw, sneaking into N2 forum). So basically Verizon selling too many 4G phones may be your culprit.

sluggish behavior question

hey folks. im on tge xt912 vzw stock mostly. i swap over to a rom sometimes. in the past few weeks my phone has been getting sluggish/freezing for a couple minutes after running apps for 10 minutes, give or take. honestly i play games mostly, but have noticed it doing it with facebook, browser.... most anything. after a few days when it started i flashed back to stock factory and only updating the installed apps it still did it. i have been trying different roms with no fix. axxion being my favorite, but it randomly reboots.
another note, almost around the same time this happened ive been watching my network and wi-fi signal. normally on jb they are blue. 80% of the time they are grey. it seems when they do turn blue i have really intermitten signal. its like my signal is constantly dropping in and out. some apps tell me i have no internet connection when blue, but working when grey.
not sure if others are seeing this, or maybe my phone is going bad somewhere. any information or help would be greatly appreciated. thanks for all the great information here on xda and all of you fine folks hard work.
