Random Airplane Mode Problem, help!!!!

I installed android VaniljEclair RLS11 build to my SD card on my tilt and it was working great, however recently it keeps going into airplane mode and I can't get any reception despite the fact that if i revert back to windows mobile i can get reception to my ATT carrier. Anyone know how to fix this issue? It seems like when i tried to change my caller ID settings from the carrier, it caused this problem. Now i can't even receive or make a call. Please help!!!!
Oh and i keep pressing airplane mode to get out and it keeps activating it again. Dunno wth is going on.....
I just had the same problem yesterday. I just rebooted with the same rom and it fixed itself. What Radio are you using?
yeah i did multiple reboots and it didn't help however today randomly its working again. sucks not to have a working phone for a few days.

Galaxy S3 Wifi Issues

Hi
I got a used galaxy S3 for cheap, but wifi was not working on it. Turns out it was the antenna cable inside the phone, so I replaced that part, but it still didnt work. I downgraded the software from 4.1.1 to 4.0.4 (via ODIN), and wifi worked, so I left the phone alone for a few hours. Then I started using the phone and downloaded a few apps then all of a sudden wifi stopped working, and the phone won't connect anymore. Tried rebooting, reflashing, going to *#0011# and turned off wifi power saving mode, but still didnt work. WHen I enable wifi or bluetooth, the I/O switch gets greyed out and it just says "Turning On..." . Anyone know what the issue is? Could it be a hardware problem (wouldnt think so because it worked for a bit).
thanks!
No one has experienced this problem on their phones?

I'm experiencing similar trouble with my s3 the wifi never turns on. I've only started having this issue since I got a factory reset done because of some other trouble and now I'm sick with this new issue.
Did you find anyway to fix it yet. 923

[Q] Wifi hotspot tethering won't start

I'm running the stock 4.1.2 on a GT-N7100. Used to work fine, now trying to enable wifi hotspot tethering but I get nothing. Basically I tap the I/O button while it's green and it grays out for a bit then returns to O. It won't turn on. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
update: even regular wifi doesn't work, stuck on trying to activate. I don't recall changing anything between today and yesterday. Tried rebooting obviously still nothing.
It worked for a while then stopped again. Is there like a reset for wifi/tethering alone?

Airplane mode constantly turning on and off?

My phone is rooted, im on stock 5.0.1 no custom recovery or anything like that. I haven't changed or done anything to the phone recently either.
If I hold the power button down and look at the airplane mode option it will flicker on and off and as I lose service. Every now and then I'll get service for 5-10 seconds but most of the time my phone signal and data connection are off. Wifi and bluetooth work.
Any suggestions?
Unrooted the phone and went over to Sprint. They did a factory reset but the issue still persists. If anyone know how to fix this or even has suggestions please let me know. Its an otherwise perfectly working phone.

Wi-Fi turns on then back off

Hello! So this issue started about 2 weeks ago for me. Whenever I turn my wifi off, the phone will turn the wifi back on for 0.5-1.0 seconds then it will turn it back off. This happens nonstop. The issue persisted even when the phone was in safe mode and still continues even after 3 full factory data resets and wiping the cache partition 3 times as well. I did this through recovery mode. Nothing changed. When this is happening, it seems to drain my battery significantly. The only fix I have found for it has been to leave my wifi on all the time, even when I am not connected to or near a wifi hotspot. The issue also does not happen when the phone is in airplane mode. Also, I did not receive any software updates around the time this issue started happening. I have tried Googling and contacting Samsung and could not come up with a fix.
Is anyone else having or had this issue? If so, did you find any fix? Thanks!
If this thread needs to be moved to the help/troubleshooting section, please tell me how to do that, or do that yourself if you would like mods. This is my first time starting a thread so I am sorry if I put it in the wrong place.
Possible Fix
My Note 7 and S7 Edge were doing the same. I fixed it by disabling "Wifi scanning even while Wifi is turned off" in location settings.
