For the past week or so the wifi radio on my phone has been acting up. Once or twice a day it will start to constantly cycle on and off. If I manually turn it off while it's in the "on" phase, it usually stays off. But when I go to turn it back on it just goes back into the loop, even if I wait an hour. The only way to fix it is to reset the phone, sometimes more than once (hard reset holding power and volume up). I rooted my phone over a month ago and haven't done anything else root-related since (no ROMs, mods, not even deodex). I did install AdAway, but that was at the time I rooted it and this just started happening. Not sure what could be causing this or if I just need to contact Verizon for a replacement.

I got a DNA last week and lose wifi when I'm on my patio, which never happened with my Galaxy Nexus LTE. In the house, the wifi cycles a couple of times a day. I would appreciate any input.
This happens to me no matter what network I try to connect to or where I am at.
Anyone else have this happen? I am ready to do a factory reset and I really don't want to since this phone doesn't have an SD card.
any one with same prob?

Did you install a custom ROM and/or kernel?
If custom, a kernel change may help.
If you did any tweaks like overclock, undo those changes.
But to answer your question, this hasn't happened to me.

I rooted my phone but have not done anything else besides install AdAway. I planned on installing a few tweaks like the battery percent indicator and location icon remover but honestly the whole odex/deodex thing really confused me so I haven't done anything else.
I am going to get a new SIM card today because my phone keeps saying it doesn't have one and I have to reboot once or twice to get it to come back up, but I doubt that could be the cause of my wifi issues.

Well I loaded in the new sprint rom last night, and now my phone is completely useless. The radio has major problems, my signal goes from nothing to 4 bars, back and fourth, and the phone goes into permanent sleep mode when I let it sit. I found this out when I woke up this morning and missed 10 calls from a client havign an emergency overnight... wonderful. I have it sitting here on the desk, and it will go to sleep and require a reset every hour or so.
I haven't had any of those problems.
WM6 lag is basically gone now and the keyboard lag is gone.
Everything is WAY more responsive and the memory leaks seem better so far.
The memory "leak" / Cacheing is more managable, and the device isn't as laggy.
I've had no problems at all. I'm loving it.

my MOGUL also goes into Perminant sleep if I let it sit.
i've had to take out the battery about 4 times just today.
anyone know why this could be?
Me too
Got the same problem installed last night. Woke up got into the car and checked phone sleeping had to soft start. Then same thing at least 3 times today. Also watched a short video in MP and it was show a few sec then sleep. Soft start and then you could watch it. Seems like after being on for a couple of hrs phone runs out of memory or something a freezes up?

Check your power setting setup, maybe it's set to turn the device completely off after 1min etc... For some reason my phone never shut off even if I let it set idle for more than 30 mins like it was set to do. Perhaps with the ROM update it actually does what it's supposed to now. Just an idea.
it's not supposed to TURN OFF as in shut down, it's just supposed to sleep. and it never comes out of sleeping mode. i've had numerous other problems, with bluetooth, etc... going back to Colonels rom, which was much more dependable.

i too loaded it yesterday as well, but i want to wonder if you did a hard reset before you installed the rom. i did it, and it gave me no problems at all with radio version 1.47.00... oh, and the phone automatically cuts off when the alarm goes off while you charge it overnight (a big no-no, but you probably know this as well, but i ain't mad at ya). if you got anything, feel free to PM me. thanks in advance.

Mine's still leaking, badly too.
Any of you try to use BT on this new rom?
If you did you'd know that this rom is worthless

The culprit appears to be the 1.47 radio. The 1.47 radio coupled with any rom version will experiance sleeping, bt and other problems.... so I am rolling back to 1.40 radio to see how it acts
As a tech in a corporate sprint store, i'd be interested in the details behind this "sleep mode" issue. What are ppl running? How can I, in the store, reproduce the problem? Is it reproducable on command or guaranteed, or is it hit or miss?
As I've said, I have the new Rom and Radio, and have no new issues, and the memory "leak" / cache issue isn't gone, but its definetly not as bad, the OS even seems to have a SLIGHTLY smaller ram foot print... maybe just a few megs smaller, but smaller on my device.

I tried that. The 1.40 radio with the new ROM still had all the new bugs.
D-pad cutting in and out...
I have found that if I push the power button to put the phone to sleep when it stops working, then turn back on, the d-pad works again. This seems to get it back to working. I wish that they could just get it right...

How do you get the new ROM?
I haven't updated yet, plan to over the weekend, but I would suggest anyone having problems to stop and consider their setup first...
What programs are installed that could cause problems?
What registry hacks have been done that may cause problems?
What configuration settings might need reset that may cause problems?
For example, after a hard reset, Enhanced Network over USB is enabled by default, and this often causes Active Sync to have issues. Likewise, power management tweaks will have reverted to defaults and you may like a more finely tuned setup.
As for memory leaks being better/worse, you may have programs installed that are out of date/buggy.
I realize it's easier to jump on the "this sucks" bandwagon, but it doesn't help you or other users with legitimate problems when no consideration is given to what is causing a given problem.
These situations are precisely why the instructions tell you that EVERYTHING will be erased. This is a good thing since it forces you to clean house, but it also means you have to pay attention to those things you often neglect or may have changed ages ago and forgotten.
Finally, if all else fails, try the ROM update again. Sometimes things go wrong.
Sorry if this seems like a rant, I just want people having issues to place blame where it truly belongs. After considering these matters, if you still have problems, definitely let HTC and the rest of us know.
Best Regards,
Aaron
Sorry, it's not anybody's installed programs. The bugs show up with nothing else but the bare ROM.
It's a train wreck.

Basically, on a stock ppc-6800 phone with nothing else installed, the BT keeps shutting off.. For me whenever a call comes in or after using my headset for a few minutes on an outgoing call...

Clean rom, nothign changed at all, it sucks, clearly. We are the beta testers obviously, as usual, with most products today
I installed the new ROM after backing up with SPB Backup, then installed my backup file back on and I haven't noticed any issues. I don't use bluetooth however, so I can comment on that. But, I haven't had the sleep issue others are describing either.
I have never posted here before though I troll and check out what is going on about my Vibrant often and have not seen this directly answered yet, so here goes.
I downloaded and installed the official froyo the other day from Kies Mini.
I have never attempted to even boot in recovery mode.
I have never attempted to root, rom or anything that you amazing people somehow figured out.
OK, so that should help get us somewhere to start.
I noticed today that my notification bar showed the signal as the 0/ (i don't know how to place that symbal correctly) as no signal. I let it go for a few minutes because sometimes Tmobile loses signal in my building. I noticed it outside on break and I tried to reboot. It rebooted but kept rebooting. I removed to battery and its still kept rebooting after letting it sit without the battery. I tried rebooting in recovery mode and deleting the cache memory (don't want to delete user info yet unless that is my only option to get fully reset) and its still rebooting.
Basically after I rebooted the first time, its runs slowly at the S, finally gets into the homescreen, shows signal (but none of my apps, no screen responses at all, just vibrates a few times while switching from no signal to signal) then reboots.
I am pretty much at a loss here. Would love any helps I can get.
Bump, please I don't mean to be annoying, but is this something I am going to have to revert to factory on? I saw someone else had a bricked phone after download and reboot constantly like me. Ugh, to wait so long for Tmo and now this??
The BEST thing to do, if you havent modded, or rooted is to take it to yor local t-mobile store if you have one. If not, call customer support and have them send a replacement.
Phone shut off and will not turn on, will not charge, will not boot, nothing.... here's the backstory.
I root my girls EVO LTE for her just for the sake of backing up data and pictures and texts. She also enjoys Fresh ROM, but I never got around to putting it on this phone, bc at the time there was no need. Also, I never did get around to turning S-OFF, just rooted, stock rom, nothing else.
About 3 months ago, she had a random boot loop, which, after some googling, seemed to be a random problem that some people were experiencing, unrelated to root or anything. So we fixed her phone, updated it, at the time, and have since done nothing to it. A few weeks ago, she started have major problems. Texts would take 5 minutes to open, contacts would also, and sometimes she couldn't dial out. Problems that I hadn't gotten around to looking into.
Today, her phone just completely turned off and hasn't done anything since. Won't turn on, charging does not give it a light. I tried to boot into recovery etc. Is the phone completely BRICKED?
It's within the year warranty, but I know if sprint gets it back on and see it's rooted, they'll be assholes about it, even though it doesn't seem to be related.

Well I dont have the drivers installed bc I recently added an ssd and started from scratch, and like I said, I don't mess with her phone too often.
But it doesn't do anything when I plug it in via usb, doesn't make a sound, nothing pops up, and it doesn't try and connect. It's lifeless.
Some have had good results plugging into a wall charger for 6-8 hours and then it comes back to life.
It may work.

Your timing is good, bricks tend to happen during major updates
Have your gf take her phone back to the Sprint store and say it won't turn on, charge etc. if the phone is truly bricked, they can't tell it was rooted or whatever. They should replace it because it's within the warranty period. If she has an SD card, take it out (especially if it had ROMs on it).
The key is have your girl friend do this, better would be to have someone's mother take it in.

This is exactly what I done when I bricked downgrading firmware. An OTA had just been released and I told them I took the update and the phone died. They replaced it immediately no questions asked.

I have the Verizon S4 i545, obviously. Rooted right after getting it in June. Still on Android 4.2.2, kernel 3.4.0-562219, build number i545VRUAMDK. I have never updated anything. Tried, tbh, but OTA fails. But whatever. I have never had an issue with anything, until a few days ago. Now, whenever my phone turns on, regardless of whether it was restarted or powered down then on, It hangs at the Verizon animation, then finally goes to my lockscreen with no notification bar. Phone is essentially useless at this point because when I unlock my phone, I get a black screen that does nothing. Only way to fix it, is to pull the battery, then power on. Works every time. I have no idea what happened to cause this. I have not removed anything system related recently. Any ideas?
I would like to fix the problem and leave it. But if I can't, I might be flashing a new rom.

hi all, as the title says my hox + is repeatedly crashing n rebooting. this has been happening since yesterday. the hox was fine in the morning and then randomly started playing up in the afternoon. the phone is completely stock n locked. its not the power button as when I enter fastboot the phone stays on n doesn't even freeze. it went flat after a while so I left it to completely flatten over night. its been on charge for a while now n its still rebooting even without me turning it on, it turns on by itself.....freezes.....then reboots.
any ideas guys?
really don't want to pay for insurance again n I now know it takes takes 2 weeks to replace a lost phone so god knows how long it will take them to look at a phone
"pay for insurances AGAIN"?
Does this happen randomly? Or it happens all the time? If you will be enough desperate, you can always try a factory reset as this looks like a software bug.

yeh ive tried factory reset in fastboot and also erased cache command. im going to try a rom now ive got it to stay off n charge. it will only stay off selecting power down quickly, if I select power off in bootloader it restarts. it does seem like software though as it doesn't auto reboot in recovery or bootloader

cant do anything. it would boot up fully...then freeze after 5 secs or so then reboot and do the same again. Ive claimed for a new phone now tho. I couldn't find an ruu after trying a new rom so insurance repair wasn't going to happen. the phones gone now n hopefully a replacement will come soon. guessing I had a bad refurb last time iclaimed
