Here is a small list of all the issues that I had while using the stock FroYo for the Samsung Galaxy 5 on I5500 :
1. Compass is broken: This issue has been fixed with latest official FroYo builds.
2. WiFi does not wake up every time you unlock your SG5 : one will need to lock and unlock again and again until WiFi comes back from sleep or just tell Android to never put WiFi to sleep. I've also noted that it has some issues connecting back to hidden networks after going to sleep or changing the wireless access points if you have more than one stored in your wireless network settings. It looks like this issue is driver specific and happens with 2.1 either.
3. WiFi refuses to connect even while using the right credentials : the issue is more likely to appear if you've switched your phone to Airplane (Offline) mode. It is observed that even a reboot of the device does not fix this issue. The only work around is to switch back to Airplane mode and then switch off the Airplane mode again. Issue looks to not happen anymore with latest official builds.
4. GPS is slow on fixing location : sometimes GPS needs a few minutes in order to lock your position even if you've just turned off Assisted GPS. Using the Fix GPS tip (FroYo hidden menu could be found by tiping *#*#3214789650#*#*). Sometimes you will need to erase the GPS data to get lock. GPS is just locking slowly on stock 2.2 for SG5.
5. Sleep of Death: Issue persists even with latest stock FroYo ROMs. It happens more often if you leave your WiFi always on and let your telephone to go to sleep. Sleep of Death is not FroYo specific. It happens with Eclair too.
Feel free to post your other FroYo issues here
Virtual keyboard doesn't shown while pressing menu button for a long time
I like keeping my wifi on while my screen is asleep so that I can receive chat messages or e-mails without being at my computer. I never had this problem while running ICS on an unrooted TF201, but ever since I installed the upgrade to JB my wifi will always disconnect after the screen has been asleep for a few minutes. I've checked every setting I can think of. In the Wifi Advanced menu, I have it set so Wifi is always on, and in the ASUS customized setting I have Disconnect network during sleep to off. Under Power Saver I have Enable low battery settings off, set Low battery level to 0%, and even set Wifi OFF to off. Despite all of this, it seems like the tablet under JB goes into some sort of deep sleep and disconnects the wifi after about 5 minutes of inactivity.
I have noticed that this problem does not occur when the screen is on. I also have the dock, and set the screen to always on during meetings in the event that I don't need to enter any notes for a few minutes so I don't have to fool with any delays from screen wake .
Is there some setting I'm missing? Is it a hidden setting that I could access by rooting? Or am I dealing with something internal to the build that I can't change at all? This may not seem like a huge deal to most, but it has become one of my main uses for the tablet when I'm at home. I'm very disappointed with JB so far even though the wifi does feel more responsive on the Prime after the update (when it's not sleeping, of course!).
EDIT: I noticed this evening that the wifi turns off even when I'm running something that uses it while the screen is off. I was listening to Pandora, and about 5 minutes after the screen went off, my music stopped. When I turned the screen back on, I saw that the wifi had indeed become disconnected.
hey,
I have exactly the same problem with my tablet. I have checked every option, I did a factory reset several time, I have checked it on 2 different routers but it is still disconnecting the wife when it goes in the sleep modus. Did you or anyone else find a solution?
Since I've had my note 2 for about 2 weeks now, when I'm connected to WIFI (b/g/n at both work and home) at random times when I start You Tube I will get a really long load time (Circle chasing itself) the video will play eventually then at random times it will stop and try to buffer. This happens in either landscape or portrait mode. When I turn off WIFI and use LTE I have no problems. I've stopped the You Tube application and relaunched it same problem. I've paused and it wont buffer. I've started and then stopped and launched it again. It normally takes a good 2-3 times of starting and stopping before I'm able to watch something off my feed. Then at any point after that the problem might pop up again.
I've used my old phone a My touch 4g and 2 IPhone 4s and neither of them have the problem.
I thought the problem might be something strange in the stock rom. So I rooted and installed CleanRom ACE 4.0.5. Problem still occurring. I tried WIFI Fix and checked the status of the the router/restarted etc.. WIFI settings are: Keep WIFI on during sleep: Always
Not sure if maybe I got a bad phone or what.. any one have any idea's?
Hey guys,
I have a "little" problem with my S2. Whenever I leave wifi on and let the screen go off, my phone will get into SoD (sleep of death) and I can't wake it up. This will happen sooner or later.
I have this problem with every ROM I can think of. It's been a long time since I used a stock ROM, so I don't know if this only happens on Custom-ROMs.
Finding out that wifi (or my data connection) was causing those problems was a long process with a lot of frustration and trial and error (catlog won't work or doesn't show anything regarding the problem).
I tried to get rid of this problem with the APP "PNF - Push Notification Fixer" by reducing the heartbeat intervall of the wifi and mobile to 5 and 6 minutes (15 and 28 before) this seemed to reduce the frequency of the SoDs, but they are still happening.
I can get rid of the problem almost all the times with deactivating wifi when I let the screen go off or lock the phone myself. I get the same result when I turn off "Wifi optimization" in advanced wifi setting, but this is draining my battery pretty fast.
So basically I can use my wifi only when the phone is on the charger (no deep sleep at all) or if I turn it off when I lock the phone (something like 30 seconds can sometimes be enough to get the phone into SoD).
With data on and the screen locked I only experienced one SoD and this seemed to happen when I lost my signal at all.
So my conclusion is, that whenever I lose my data connection (might it be wifi or mobile) my phone does seem to get stuck in deep sleep at that moment or the moment it tries to reestablish the connection (the problem most propably got less after using PNF, because my router would kick my phones connection after a few minutes (10 would be my guess) of inactivity and this prevented a long enough inactivity. But they still happen (SoDs)). When I turn both wifi and mobile off and let it go into deep sleep this is no problem and no SoDs happen.
The SoDs were less but also happened when I were on CM11 M11 official, but got really frequent when I switched to Markox89's version of CM.
This is no rant or anything, I just want to get to the core of this problem and wanted to see/ask if there is something different in the Wifi module or wifi settings in this build and what could cause this very annoying problem.
Maybe someone else has this problem, too. Maybe my hardware is just faulty and I have to live with this :/
If it wasn't for this problem this ROM would run pretty smooth and flawless.
Does anybody else have the same problem or somehow knows how to get rid of it? This would get a lot of frustration out of my everday life :victory:
My setup right now:
- Markox89's CM11 Mod (22.11) (4.4.4)
- Lanchon's TRIM Kernel for CM 22.11 (same problem before using TRIM)
- Lanchon's Music bug fix (same problem before using Music bug fix)
- Modem: XXMS4
EDIT:
- XPosed with Xprivacy
- common apps like Threema, Telegram, whatsapp...
Tl;dr: my phone gets stuck in deep-sleep (SoD) if I leave wifi on when my screen turns off. no problem with mobile on or both data connections off. Halp?
@xhoster try to clean flash a rom and try it without all those apps you are using and then you can see or its app related or rom related. If it's rom related then I think some people already posted before there.
Also maybe try a custom kernel.
Try these things, I can't help you further then this atm.
Also mybe logcat the issue so you can read where it goes wrong.
FINAL EDIT: The problem seems to be the wifi driver all along!
Flashed the Apolo Kernel and this solved my SOD problem only had two since then and those seemed to be APP related!
Happy right now
It's seems to be the xposed framework! Tried it with a fresh installation after RomNuke and the phone was sleeping for 45 minutes and nothing happened, installed xposed and 10 minutes later I got a SoD. Tried it with the 2.7 beta 1 and the 2.6.1 stable version. Both gave me a SoD when I left wifi on...
Is this a known problem or has anybody ever had this problem?
When I tried it, I didn't even installed any modules, just the framework.
EDIT: I am going to test a bit more to see if it really is xposed or just the phone hanging whenever a connection is lost.
I have buyed the new released Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S and i have problems with the Wifi. When you let the device to sleep for few hours wifi stops working. When turning on the phone from sleep the wifi dont work and you have to turn the wifi off and on to restore it, then i receive all the messages at once when the apps (Line, Whatsapp, etc) reconnect to inet. It seens to happen only if the device is sleep for few hours. If is only sleep for few minutes it works ok. Anyone experienced this issue, knows how to solve it?
I noticed strange wifi behaviors too
I also encounter same issue...
please advise your rom version.
my device does not get that's problem
11.0.1 global
11.0.3 india global
11.0.5 india global
I have used my RMN9S more than a week ago and I don't have any issue with WiFi. My device connect to WiFi almost 24/7 without any problem. BTW mine 11.0.3 global
Mine is 11.0.3 global. When i awaked this morning and checked the phone it was working ok. No problems at all after all night in sleep mode. I am puzzled. I hope it was a "one" time fault and it works from now on. I come again if i have news.
Just got the wifi connected without internet... Had to disable and renable
This also happens to my Redmi Note 9S.
It happens with all current ROMs. I experienced it with global, indian and eu ROMs.
Its also random, it does not happen after x hours. Sometimes its just 1 hour, others is 7 hours, others it does not happen.
What I do:
I turn off the smartphone screen to sleep, with wifi on. AC connected.
I have some apps reading internet data every 2 minutes.
When I wake up, I see the wifi icon connected. But Internet doesn't work.
When I look at the apps, I can see that they stopped accessing internet at a random time in the night.
If I turn wifi off and on, internet works again.
It doesn't happen with wifi off and mobile data connection on.
I tried changing some values in dev settings. Also in battery settings. Nothing has worked yet.
With normal day usage, it can also happens, if the screen is off a few hours.
It not a router wifi issue. My old note 3 worked fine with the same wifi. My wife's redmi note 8 pro works fine too.
It can be something related to battery saving. But so far I have been unable to fix if.
It never happens with screen on, or with screen off for a few minutes.
So I dont think its a hardware issue, I think its software-related.

Thank you DjXavy, your post is perfect to describe my issues. As anyone triying to contact Xiaomi about this problem? Are they even aware of it?
-deleted-
It could be a drivers or firmware problem. Xiaomi should be able to fix it.
What can we do:
1) If it happens to you too, please report it here and give details if you can. That way, Xiaomi can evaluate how common the problem is.
2) While it get fixed: Do someone know an app, or can build one, that check every few seconds if internet conection is working, and if it fails a few times, the app turns wifi off and on? It will require a rooted smarthphone to control wifi switch.
3) Do someone know how to send bug reports to Xiaomi? It would be good is they get a link to this thread.
I have updated to 11.0.5 now, lets see if its fixed or not. I have used the inbuilt report feature in the phone to report the issue but anything else except this post.
I have flashed xiaomi.eu 11.0.5 today. Still Wi-Fi Problems here. Hope Xiaomi get this fixed soon.
I have been contacted by Xiaomi support in the phone app. Now at least they are aware of the problem.
They called me today too. I have send them logs. At least they are working hard at this Problem. Everyone should send them logs to get this error fixed soon.
I may found the cause and workaround to prevent this bug.
Normally WiFi recognizes absence of internet connection. But in our case we're still online and I noticed some syncs still working. So DNS is coming to my mind. But I still changed my wifi to static IP using Google 8.8.8.8 DNS.
With Pie(?) Google introduced "Private DNS". I remember in MIUI 10 this feature was hidden and by default "off". On my NOTE 9S (global MI version) this setting was set to "Automatic" by default. After turning it off while dysfunctional WiFi, internet was coming back right away. After this (still) continuous connection.
The time is too short to be sure it's gone forever (*evil laugh*), but you guys could help to test.
You find the option in "Settings | Connection & sharing | Private DNS".
Good work. Continue trying things!
I switched off that same option days ago.
My 9S still have problems with wifi.
Sometimes, even switching the screen off a few minutes is enought to trigger it.
I'm still trying things, but no luck so far.
Although I've only had it for one day, I've not seen this problem yet. Wonder if it's a Wi-Fi compatibility issue or something strange?
I have noticed that I dont have problems when I am connected to a 802.11n network. The last Days I have had the Problems I Was connected to 802.11ac (2,4ghz + 5ghz). Today I was connected to an old 802.11n network and everything seems to be okay. Do you have the Problems with both Networks?

Interesting. I'm connecting to a 802.11ac wifi too.
I will switch to a 802.11n one and see what happens.
