Hi all,
I'm experciencing a weird problem since my Samsung Note 4 received the october security update. The wifi picto keeps blinking, going from grey to light green to full green and back to grey (all the time). in the wifi-settings, the wifi toggle keeps going left-right and looking for networks when turning to the right (on). This causes battery usage... I sent my phone in for repair, they replaced it with a new motherboard, but no luck. If I do a factory reset, no problems, but after restoring apps and accounts and installing the security update, the problem reoccurs... Someone experiencing the same problem ? It's a coincidence or not, my mothers Samsung S5 is having the same problem since the update, but even worse, she can't even connect trough wifi sometimes...
problem solved. Google activated "scan wifi even when location is off" with the update. That gives apps permission to scan for wifi-networks even with location turned off... All the info from users they can get, they'll get it !

I have noticed in the last few days that my new HTC One is not waking from sleep with WIFI functionality. When it wakes, the WIFI symbol in the notifications tray is gone. When I go to settings, And look at the WIFI option, It says that it is disconnected. When I touch to configure the WIFI settings, the settings app hangs on a black screen. I have to reboot my phone to get the WIFI back. Is anyone else having this issue?
Phone Model: HTC One
Router Model: ASUS RT-N66R / RT-N66U
Frequency: 5ghz
I am now testing in the 2.4ghz frequency and will report back my findings.
I can confirm that I don't experience this issue with 2.4ghz. No drops in 4 days. When I switched back to 5ghz on the 5th day, I got the drop and freeze within the hour.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
I'm having the same issue. Can't tell what frequency band it's on when it happens though sorry.
I am having the exact same issue. It coincided with installation of an app called mute-o-matic in my case. I was wondering if the crash is related to the installation of this app. Could any one experiencing this crash comment on this?
[Update] It has happened 3 times in the last week. Wifi function just locked up, and had to restart phone to fix. Very frustrating. It's reasons like this that is driving me back to iOS. All the amount of tweaks and customization is not worth it when the phone is not reliable on basic functions. iPhones may be boring, but it at least I never once ever in years on owning them needed to restart it to fix a problem.
[Update 2] Android 4.3 update seemed to have solved the wifi crash issue. It is running much more stable after the update. Had it installed for 3 days now, and no crashes or self-rebooting so far.
Cleaning
Thread has been cleaned. Please be respectful to others and do not incite.
[Update 3]
I previously thought that JB 4.3 update has rectified the wifi crash issue for good. After over a week with 4.3, wifi crash happened today.
The wifi option page was not grey-out, but it would not connect to any network, When I toggled it from "on" to "off" state, it failed to respond. At the end, only a phone reboot could fix it.
Frustrating to say the least.
[Update 4]
I can now reproduce the wifi problem when leaving the phone running on battery overnight. During the first week after 4.3 update, I left my phone plugged-in to power most of the time, and perhaps as a result, the wifi crash did not happen.
Basically, the wifi crash I am experiencing after 4.3 update is more or less the same issue reported by others on their HTC Ones (including One, One X, One S), where the wifi failed to connect after long period of inactivity.

For now, I am going to switch "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" to "Always", as suggested in the 2nd link above. This should keep the wifi connection on the during sleep, and hopefully fixes the issue. I'll report back.
Hi guys,
I have a problem with the GPS that I don't think is unique to the GS4 only ... it happened after I upgrade to 4.3, and the same on my wife's Note 2, seems to be 4.3 related.
Basically, I can turn on GPS no problem, but after turning it on, it will not turn off even though the GPS icon is turned off from the notification bar, and the GPS sign also disappears from the main bar. Checking on the battery stat shows GPS remains all along.
This can only be fixed by a reset, but the next time I turn GPS on, once again I need to reset the phone to turn it off.
Anyone knows how to fix this? I already have location services turned off. This doesn't seem to be located to google services at all.
This only seems to happen after upgrade to 4.3 as well.
Hello all
I am using my S10+ from 1 year now. Never faced much problems but from the past couple of days I have been trying to switch off Always on Display. Whenever I change to *tap to show* or toggle the switch to off, it switches back to always display automatically when phone is locked.
When power saving is turned of only then does it closes.
I thought it might be a software bug but last night I received the latest April update and the problem continues even after that.
Kindly help me about it.
Thanks
So I recently got the Realme6 8GB + 128GB, and it's a great phone except for this issue where it doesn't work on my Wifi sporadically.
It will be completely fine browsing reddit for example, then just refuse to load anything despite the wifi icon showing full connectivity. Typically turning the wifi on the phone off and on resolves it easily enough, but it's becoming a constant albeit sporadic thing.
It gets back to normal once I restart the phone but then again it goes back again.
I can't even play PUBG with a constant ping anymore. It's always jumping from green to yellow, yellow to green, despite having a 20 mbps data connection.
I have tested my wifi with my other devices and there's no issue with them, so I know it's the phone.
Any advice or anyone know how to fix this?
wifi issue
i also have a problem with the wifi but mine was when the Bluetooth and Wifi is turned on... the wifi can't receive data or the bandwidth(?)/frequency(?) are in conflict.
This issue happened in update which was before B.45 (B.37 is name of that update i think) I thought it will be fixed in B.45 but it still persists and it is very irritating.
Issue resolved in B.47 update
Hi Guys,
I`ve started to observe odd connectivity behavior with my Pixel 6 after March 2023 update.
The issue is that at some point (I don`t know if anything or what triggers it) my WIFI status bar icon gets an exclamaition mark (!) next to it and is dropping internet connectivity to 4G mobile data only (WIFI icon dissapears completely). Then, seconds after that, my 4G status bar icon gets an exclamation mark too and WIFI icon shows up again and the cycle continues.
Only solution I`ve found so far is that the phone reboot fixes it for some time. It appears that this latest update messed my phone modem module.
Does anyone of you noticed something similar?

I had the same experience, i thought maybe the signals have become spotty in my area. I mainly use data so i experienced that on 4g only. It is usually fixed after i switch on & off airplane mode.
There seems to be a few things that this update is messing with and it's weird because not everyone is experiencing the same thing. I have the 6 pro and adaptive charging seems to be broken along with wireless charging well at least from my pixel stand. And my battery life is noticably much worse. But my wife's pixel 6 does not seem to have any of these issues at all. Including the one you just mentioned. It looks like they had a problem with some of the features in the feature drop. If that's the case I would much rather have battery stability and reception stability than get these new features that are not crucial to the everyday experience. But Google does what Google wants and each and every. Pixel user is basically a beta tester even if not. In the beta program. They just throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks
Same experience. The exclamation marks where there before the march update, but have gotten way more frequent since ..
Are you guys using Blokada 4 by any chance?
