Is your Galaxy S21 also hanging/freezing data connection? - Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions

I just got the phone from T-mobile PL, its generally better in every aspect than my old Xperia X (it was ancient), but now its starting to behave strangely.
It sometimes hangs/freezes the data connection - I can still see the LTE/LTE+/5G icon, but I can't load any website or use any app that relies on data connection. The same happens with wifi router- I even started constantly pinging some server, and I can clearly see that on random basis, it can start spamming timeouts.
The only solution is to either use airplane mode (cause switching data on/off doesn't always help), or go into cellular settings and switch the data mode from/to 5G/4G/3G/2G to/from 4G/3G/2G - basically just forcing it to (probably) reestablish the data connection fixes it.
Do any of you are having the same problem? Its still quite new phone so I can return it or just wait till Samsung patches it.

Hello T-mobile Poland. I'm T-mobile US S21 with Snapdragon. I haven't had this problem at all over the last 5+ months.

I have problem like you, but I am not sure if my problem comes from data or wifi connection. Sometimes when I play a game, all is freezing for a short time (10 seconds), and I can do nothing in this time. After this, all is running good again. I have beta 12, but the problem also on Android 11. It looks like a short kernel crashing, but I think, then the phone had to be restart.

I don't think its the same, cause my phone doesn't freeze- it just the data connection that freezes and causes anything using internet to time out. Besides that, phone is perfectly fine and it has never crashed.

[Q] Problem with WiFi and Mobile Data

Hello guys,
my problem relates to activating WiFi and/or mobile data on my phone.
First of all WiFi:
I'm used to enable it via status bar. But when clicked nothing happens but the symbol changing. When entering the WiFi settings through systemsettings WiFi is disabled. Enabling it there works fine, but is not what I would expect.
Before it worked fine.
Next problem.
When WiFi is enabled (it's most of the time when I'm at home) I disable mobile data (no matter if 2g or 3g). It runs over night till i leave home. Now when I want to enable mobile data, nothing happens. Even an analog work around described like above wouldn't work. The only way to get it working is to reboot the phone..
Any idea how to solve it?
My specs:
Samsung Galaxy S2 (int)
Kernel: Kernel_Siyah-Dorimanx-V9.10-[10-51]-[21-03]-JB-CM-AOKP-SGII-PWR-CORE
ROM: cm-10.1-20130321-NIGHTLY-i9100
Modem: I9100XXLS8
My fiancée and I got the same problem with the mobile data. I updated her phone with the latest nightly to be sure it's nothing that may have already been solved, so she got cm-10.1-20130320 nightly, I have yet to update from cm10, still running cm-10-20121209 nightly.
After turning on wifi or turning off mobile data (mobile data connection has to be interrupted) and leaving it off for a longer period of time, turning mobile data on again does not work. The button changes, the phone also reflects this in the data usage menu, the button is set to on, but nothing happens. Rebooting the phone then solves the problem, Mobile data can be turned on and off again for some time but leaving it turned off again will result in the same error. I hope this is somehow comprehensible.
Any idea what we can do about it?
I don't use CM anymore, but when I used to run CM9 that happened to me occasionally. Restoring a backup or reflashing the rom & kernel directly over the top of the current instal without wiping (if you're using another kernel) was the only thing that fixed it for me. You may find that reflashing the rom/kernel doesn't work; if it doesn't, I'd do a clean install (wipe/etc; tho I never had to do this to fix this problem).

Moto Z Android 7.0 Nougat issues

I have a Moto Z Force (Droid), and got the OTA update for Nougat about a week ago (build NCL25.86-11). Since the update, I've had a lot of problems:
* Wifi issues: Right now my phone can't see any of the 10 or so access points near my house.
* Bluetooth Audio issues: Frequent skips listening to audio over bluetooth (every several minutes)
* Background Sync issues: Hangouts no longer syncs in the background, and Facebook seems to have occasional syncing issues. I get no Hangouts notifications at all (until I open the app), and my Facebook notifications are sometimes missing or delayed.
I think I may be having battery life issues with my Incipio battery Moto Mod, but I'm not sure about that.
Also, I can't remember if I tried this before the Nougat update, but when I'm using bluetooth and use voice commands to play music, all further bluetooth media plays back at extremely low (nearly inaudible) volume, even with bluetooth volume turned all the way to max, and I have to disconnect and reconnect to bluetooth to get normal volume on anything again.
I've tried multiple reboots, and a cache wipe. I'm pretty close to doing a factory reset, but was wondering if anyone else is experiencing these issues.
I am definitely seeing the Bluetooth audio skip - I downloaded my album off google play and had the same effect (verifies it isnt data connection). Skips and stutters on all audio - Pandora, Google Play, etc...
I have noticed WiFi issues - drops connection and comes back up
also getting zero notifications on apps.
Another issue I am seeing is the screen locking and becoming unresponsive - couple threads I have seen suggest this is caused by certain apps - so I am having to boot in safe mode and turn them on one at a time - friggin painstaking.
Definitely starting to miss my Note 5
By now I've no 7, but did you try to do a factory reset? I had similar problems with LG devices when upgrading vom 5 to 6. A factory reset resolved them completely. No fun to so so but ...
I've only experienced the Bluetooth issues. They went away after a reboot though.

I have absolutely no Bluetooth, cannot see or be seen by any other device. I'm exchanging it tomorrow.
Looks like my Wifi issue is not a Moto Z specific issue - it's happening exactly as described in this Nexus/Nougat forum post:

Perform a factory reset, then see where you are. Factory resets aren't as bad as the "old" days. You can pick your backup image date from the Google Welcome menu screens as you set the phone back up. If you use Nova launcher, import your saved desktop back up.
I've had the Bluetooth Audio skips as well. I also cannot use my camera about 75% of the time. It gives me the Camera error, Please restart the Camera app. I did a FDR and issues are still present.

wifi is slow used to get 218 megs down now only 136 down
I can add an other Bluetoorh issue. When I'm listening to podcasts while the phone is connected to the audio system of my car and I get interrupted by a phone call (which is also routed to the audio system of my car) after the call ends audio play back resumes for about half a second and the stops. I've to start it manually on the phone to resume. The podcast app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bambuna.podcastaddict) is in paused state.
I'm definitely seeing WiFi drops and battery drain and heat issues with my Tumi battery mod. Also seeing screen freezes requiring a power button reset. Am getting very close to factory resetting.
I'm having problems going from WiFi to data. If I boot up the phone, it establishes a data connection. After Wifi is turned on, data permanently turns off and can't be reconnected without restarting the phone.
Note that I am using the phone overseas with a domestic (Japanese) sim card. Just last week however, I was using a Moto Z Droid Play and had no problems whatsoever. The standard Moto Z Droid has more Lte bands as well, so this shouldn't be happening.
I'm assuming it's a problem with WiFi to Lte handover related to Nougat?

Rather than restarting, toggle airplane mode.

Actually that doesn't work. I tried it numerous times, along with disabling mobile data and then enabling it. I'm going to wipe the phone tonight and do a fresh start to see if that solves the problem.

Fix for wrong default APN Settings for O2 on Android 7.0 Nougat
After Upgrade to Android 7.0 mobile data did not work on german O2 Network.
After some research i found the right APN Option:
MVNO-Type have to be changed from IMSI auf „Keine“
Source: Giga.de - Android 5.0 Lollipop-Bugs & Probleme: Lautlosmodus, WLAN, Videowiedergabe & mehr [Ãœbersicht]
After that change another apn appeared called "O2 Internet", selecting it and LTE started to work as expected.
Hope that's help someone.
And here I was thinking this was the smoothest update on any Android phone I've received. I have no issues at all, didn't factory reset either. I also listen to podcast all the time over bluetooth, and never once did it skip. Maybe it's google music issues?
Also battery life has gotten much better.
Bluetooth disconnected issues for me via car Bluetooth since update.
any one having problems with sound cutting out on the phone only way to get sound back is by rebooting ?????????
I think the issues I'm seeing are due to overheating. Seems to happen after the battery pack charging kicks in at 80%. Anyone else notice this?
For the BT skipping/noise, turn off BT and turn it back on. That fixes it for me.
Don't know what's triggering it, though.

Internet (WiFi&GSM) randomly stops working until reboot

My Samsung S7 Edge (running Android 7.0) has, for a while, been having the following problem: every so many days, without any obvious triggering cause, the internet ceases to work - in any app, and both on WiFi and on mobile connectivity. Things are only back to normal (i.e. the phone receives data through its WiFi/3G connection) if I restart the phone.
This occurs maybe once every 2 days or so, and is of course very disruptive. I always let the phone install OS updates but it doesn't look like any of them fixes this bug.
Any ideas? Thanks!
same here with a galaxy s8+. I observed that happens when hanging up the phone, especially in car, via bluetooth (though, the bluetooth detail can just be random).
Hm, in my case it doesn't seem to be at all related to phone calls, or at least it's not obvious how (perhaps after a given number of calls, the internet freezes, though it seems very random)
any more thoughts at all?

Moto Z XT1650-03 Nougat 7.1.1 freezing several times a day

The phone randomly freezes on 4G network only in case running apps which need internet access. Related apps are Chrome. Feedly, YouTube, Facebook, Messenger, streaming tv.
The issue often occurs when typing on the virtual keyboard. The screen freezes, the system is irresponsive to all buttons. Sometimes the sreen and the OS goes back to normal after a few minutes of waiting but in most csases I have to force restart the device.
I have tried common fixes like uninstall seldom needed apps, clear chache, reset the phone but nothing helps. The 4G network (Telekom Hungary) is fast and stable, with a ping of 10-28 ms and a download speed between 60-130 mb/s while the upload is between 15 and 40 mb/s.
I cannot check if the issue is only mobile network specific or the freezing also occures on a wifi network as I am moving to a new place and have no cable internet provider but my other phones, LG G4 and Galaxy 7 Edge run smooth with the same sim card on the same mobile network.
Please help me find a fix. Thanx
The same problem here. Moto Z Force droid. Freeze occurs few times a day (both on wifi or cellular internet). I am on android 7.0

Random Reboots and cant access Advenced Wifi and App-Info Settings

Hi there,
since two days iam experiencing super weird errors with my Pocophone F1.
First it restarts totally random. Put my finger on the scanner to unlock it... the Lineage Logo appears.
I want to use my microphone for voice messages in whatsapp... the Lineage Logo appears.
These are random af..
Some lesser random reboots are happening, when i try to connect to any local wifi or toggle my wifi on and off OR if i turn Aeroplane Mode on/off.
The even more annoying stuff is that i cant(!) get in the following options:
Wifi-Settings under Network & Internet; all settings about Cellular Network, and App-Information- App (all the detailed Informations on one specific app in Apps & Notifications)
within Settings.
Everything else still works like a charm.
What i have tried so far:
Wipe Cache and Dalvik-Cache.
Start in Safe Mode.
Update to a more up-to-date Version of Lineage.
Reset all network settings. (yes, i was very frustrated yesterday.)
Nothing helped :/
Is anyone else experiencing this kind of bull****ery lately?
Iam running:
Xiaomi Pocophone F1
Android 10
LineageOS 17.1-20210123-NIGHTLY-beryllium
