So after playing with voltages for awhile, I went a little too far down and got crash, no big deal it's happened before, but now my wifi is extremely broken. Tried about three different roms, did a full internal sd wipe, tried flashing radios, nothing works. Any ideas?
Oh and I can still see the available networks, it just loops on obtaining ip address.

I just called T-mobile in an attempt to have them replace my vibrant under the manufacturer's warranty. I believe the internal memory is damaged. My phone locks up once or twice a day and I have to pull the battery or do the vol-down-home-power button combination for ten seconds to reset the phone. This continues to be a problem after installing custom roms, going back to factory settings, lag fixes, etc.
T-Mobile just told me to try clearing out the stock browser's history, cache, cookies, saved passwords, basically everything, and that this is a "known issue" with Vibrants that happens if you don't clear the data every few days.
Has anyone else ever been told this by them before? Searching the forums hasn't given me much to support what they said, and I'm starting to feel like they're just stonewalling me.
Any advice/input/opinions are appreciated. Thanks!
Update: I cleared the browser data and then ran every single game on my vibrant, one after another (games were where I was seeing most of the lock ups).
This might sound crazy but so far it really does seem like it made a positive difference. Load times for some games are noticeably shorter.
My X8 is continuously crashing *randomly*. I clocked it a few times and it ran from one hour to four or less than five minutes and restarts. I have FroyoBread on my X8.
Things I already did-
1.I thought it was a virus so uninstalled most apps and removed SD card. Using xRecovery I even deleted cache and local files (includeing data reset).
2.Got rid of FroyoBread and flashed X8 ROM back onto the device. Same problem.
3.Got rid of Memory Card.
4.Reflashed. Installed FroyoBread again. Checked settings. This time, it started crashing once I tried to connect to the Internet.
5.Checked the forums already, people have similar problems, but no solutions.
Note: My phone ISN'T getting stuck at the load screen.
My phone IS ROOTED.
I DID try UNROOTING. The problem still persists.
This IS ALL the info I can provide.
Please help!!!!
try to get back to 2.1 eclair and connect phone to pc companion and then try to renew your system(either upgrade or fixing)
I got exactly the same problem. Here is what I experienced:
For the last 6 month I was running Floyo and Froyobread without any problems.
I changed to GingerDX for 2.3 also without any problems until about two weeks ago.
First I got random reboots when I switched on Mobile Data Connection. This seemed to be somehow connected to low signal strength when switching on Mobile Data Connection. Sometimes it would work without any problems, sometimes it would reboot.
When I got a random reboot, I got stuck a kind of loop. The phone would reboot normaly but as soon as it reestablishes a Data Connection crash again. So the only way to stop it was to shut down Data Connection immediately after boot.
This got gradually worse so I changed to KuyaDROID. To try and fix a posssibly ROM based problem.
But it got even worse. Now the phone would crash every time Radio Signal was established (a couple of seconds after boot), rendering the phone totally useless.
I unrooted, reflashed Stock 2.1 with SEUS, formated SD-card. Rerooted. Now, it's actually more stable than with Custom ROMs but I still get random reboots. In the last 2h my phone rebooted 3 times while I had Mobile Data Connection switched on, however, not instantly but after a couple of minutes. And once while on standby.
I tried to get some kind of error log, but sofar I only found the catlog and was not able to retrieve any information from before a random reboot.
The only other thing I noticed was that the battery level drops massively after each random reboot. Usually between 8-15%.
So I'm guessing either something related to Radio Signal / Data Conenction is broke, or there is a problem with my battery. Only I dont know if battery problems could lead to random reboots.
And just to clarify. With Random Reboots I mean the screen goes black instantly followed by an automatic reboot.
I will unrooted and reflashed Stock 2.1 with SEUS again to see if w/o root/superuser the problem still persists and if yes, try and return my phone.
If anyone got any other suggestions I would be happy to hear them..
Any news about this particular issue? I've seen many X8 "random reboots" posts and threads, but this one describes my particular problem pretty accurately. It only happens on low signal strength when the Mobile Data Connection is running.
I'm on stock kernel and this happened with the Stock ROM, FroyoBread, GingerDX and now FroyoPro. I've been hesitant to use a custom kernel since I've also read about complains of "random reboots" on custom kernels.
As stated above the reboots are random and if they happen it's only on a low signal mobile data connection. Any hints? TIA!
Same Problem..!
Same case with me...
+Random Reboot when enabeling data connection especially 2G connection (automaticly swiched when signal strength is LOW) But not on STANDBY:
when browsing pages full of pic's , downloading pic's or browsing normaly and listning to music at the same time. The phenomenon is more frequent
I deduced that it was a RAM overload as if it has no RAM space to run normaly..
And so, before browsing using data connection on 2G Mode I try to to free the most possible the RAM, and there the problem is less frequent but still exist.
On data connection 3G mod (HSDPA) Problem is less frequent alsow.
When I bot the phone it has Eclair the problem started after 2 mounths from its first START, later on I installed tow versions of Gingerbred, on the first,the problem got wors and the second was as good as Eclair but I didn't like it (However it is so so so stabel),so I am back to the Stock one !
The problem is Stabeled but not fixed.
So, COSTUME ROM isn't the cause but they are more or less involved
My experience:
+Choose a Stabel ROM (point of veiw Data Con.) I choosed Eclair but there is some good COSTUME ROM's
+Free the most possible RAM space before starting 2G/3G data Con.
+Use needed WEB app('s) only to lower the load on the RAM and the Connection
+Try to avoid 2G (EDGE or GPRS) or low Signal on 3G(HSDPA) Connections espacialy pic's and videos..
SOLVED!!!
I had the same random reboots in my x8, even using different ROMS, even different kernels. :S
Take a look at THIS THREAD to solve this issue
NOTE: some CUSTOM KERNELS may cause reboots/crashing.
Thanks mate, it works.:good:
So I know this topic has a few posts many a year or so old but I'm looking for a possible work around for this issue. Here's a background of what happened:
I have a rooted note 4 originally running cm12, I wanted to return to a stock build and when I did something happened (can't remember what) and my wifi stopped working it would click on them immediately off my first thought was kernel so I flashed a new one but didn't help I tried a different stock build 5.0.1 instead of 5.1.1 but still same issue. I went back to the cm12 and that seemed to work fine still, I looked for another stock build because I'm stubborn and flashed a different kernel than the previous ones I've tried. This seemed to fix my wifi issue at least for a day then back to the same issues. Anyway here's what I've been messing with to try and figure this out.
I'm focused around the file wpa_supplicant.conf as I've tried restarts and all that but that won't do anything. What I have noticed recently is when I don't have any networks saved in that file I can toggle airplane mode and try toggling wifi, after a few sometimes dozen attempts it comes on and works fine so long as it stays on. If I turn it off I have to restart my process of going into wpa_supplicant.conf>deleting my saved network>toggling airplane>then spamming wifi. As I'm able to repeat this it leads me to believe it's not hardware related, slim chance on loose cable, But if there's a way to prevent the system from auto saving a password that might help with a workaround. I've tried changing that files permissions as well as the ones in the system>etc>wifi folder but they get changed back
Anyway I'm still working on finding the root cause but will update if I find anything also tried deleting the wpa file and that works to after a restart but issue comes back and so does file which doesn't seem to me that its a corruption issue
Update:
So I somehow crashed my Samsung messenger app switch to hangouts and then back so decided to wipe my phone and refresh the OS. I factory reset then advanced wiped cache, dalvik, system and data. When it rebooted I tested the WiFi in the system setup and it worked fine I could turn it on and then off normally so I decided to continue setup once fully setup and no other apps installed I retested the WiFi. It worked fine I connected to an access point and it stayed connected I then forgot the network cycled wifi and tried again and again still worked so I let it sit and would test it throughout the day. About an hour or so later the problem reappeared which was odd. I did my old workaround deleting wpa_supplicant.conf and toggling wifi until it turns on. I got it to turn on and connect to my home WiFi and left it, so far I've kept my wifi on and it's stayed active for 24hours now and reconnects fine to my home router when I'm in range and back to lte when I'm away so right now it seems I can have wifi if I don't toggle it off. Still not sure what's causing this issue as since I'm currently using wifi to write this I don't see it as a hardware issue. After trying multiple kernels I don't see that as the cause either, although possible. Will keep messing around and update if I find anything further
Update 2: so far I've been able to keep my wifi working great as long as I keep it on and don't toggle it off. Doing this has kept it active and auto connecting to my home wifi for a week straight. I make sure to keep wifi I during sleep so it won't disconnect but it also seems to stay active through restarts which is great. This still leads me to believe it's software related and not hardware but not sure where the issue is.
Update 3:
So far I've just kept my wifi on while trying to find the issue. The only other issue I've come across was since my wifi is on 24/7 and auto connects if I want to use my lte instead i have to either turn off wifi or forget my home network which neither is an option. But I have found a solution:
I was able to add a shortcut to my home screen that actually disables the current wifi connection without disabling wifi and forgetting the password. To do this you must have Tasker just create a new task in second tab, I named mine disconnect wifi, click the plus sign and select "net", next select "wifi net" there is an option that says disconnect. Have that selected then go back and thats it,add in icon on bottom right to use as a shortcut. I've tested this and it works great one tap and it disconnects the wifi but keeps wifi turned on and if I want to re connect just go into WiFi settings and choose the one to connect to
Hey.
So I for the past month of so, my phone has been getting this weird issue where the network will suddenly cut and I'll be left with signal but no Data... It happens at very weird and pattern like intervals... What I mean is that it can happen when I'm using my phone. It can also happen on its own when my phone is in my pocket... Strange. If I manage to get home for example without it happening I can sometimes manage to turn on WiFi and the day afterwards when I leave Data still works. Now the only way I have found of fixing it is to Reboot my phone completely...
I have tried it on different Roms and even different Versions! So it seems to be a configuration problem? But I've wiped my phone between those Rom changes and I change quite often (Titanium, simply the best app on the entirr play store).
So it's very annoying and I can't figure out the pattern or what causes. I hope someone will be able to help.
Thanks!
+1 on that.
If anyone can elaborate, that would be very nice.
I recently got this problem, in addition to random reboots, boot loops, and random freezes.
I have tried multiple types of fixes, like:
-Wiping cache
-Wiping from factory(multiple times)
-Trying different configurations(MAC addresses, routers, etc)
-Even a Custom ROM(installed in desperation)
Does anyone know how to fix this? Because I am pretty sure it's software, but I can still send it to a store if it is the only way.
The phone heats up quite a bit when trying to do anything related to WIFI, and when I click on it the phone simply freezes and starts a boot loop shortly after.
Thanks for reading
