[Q] Wifi drops randomly...? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is getting really frustrating. I can't use my phone for anything.
It started a couple of days ago.. My phone started losing wifi connection but then connecting again almost immediately. My data network isn't great at home and that means, when the wifi drops nothing works.. I've tried everything I can think of.
The wifi doesn't turn off, it's set to never sleep.. It just disconnects for about a second, even when I'm using it.
Any ideas?

Does it only happen to your phone?

Yes, my transformer stays connected and so does my pc..
Edit: Actually I had a weird problem where my transformer pad couldn't connect a couple of days ago. Nothing seemed to work and I think that is around the time this started happening.
Edit2: It seems it happens only when bluetooth is on...

I had the same issue and fixed by typing at the dialing keypad *#197328640# then press the menu button and choose WIFI then disable WIFI Power Saving Mode , after every restart you need to do it again

I read about that and it's not really a solution to me. What bothers me the most is that it only does this when bluetooth is on.

Weird Power Button Problem

Ok guys weird problem here. I was using my blueangel today, everything fine, went to turn it off using the power button and it didnt go off. Wifi was on so i thought it was just being slow like it sometimes is to turn off when wifi is on. However, sadly no.
Now it will not turn off using the power button. If i hold the button down then it will turn the backlight on and off as usual, also if i wait for it to turn itself off then the power button will turn it back on so i cant understand.
I have tried hard reset and even reinstall firmware and still the same is happening. Anyone have any ideas it just seems really weird that the other functions of the button seem to be working but just not the power off.
Please Help.
Thanks Guys.
I had the exact same problem, and all I can say is that it is better now - it just fixed itself randomly.
My advice until then is to set the self-turn off time to the minimum value, and wait the 30secs to turn it off.
How weird.
How strange, how long did it take until it started working again. Mine hasnt sprung back in to life yet, but then it has only been a day or two. Also did you try to fix the problem with hard resets like i did or did you just leave.
Thanks for responding.
Rob.
I tried a few hard resets to no avail. At around the same time (though they started independently) I also had a problem where only a few items would actually show up on my today screen, despite being enabled. At this time I was on holiday in tunisia, phone on flight mode the whole time to save battery since I couldnt get any coverage.
When I got home to the UK, I tried to see if luton airport had a wifi network. I didnt find anything, but mysteriously my two problems had fixed themselves over the course of the flight.
Very odd. I cant think of anything that would have trigerred the self-fix.
(For the record, I dont think it was the flight mode on/off switching, as I'm pretty sure I turned that on/off a few times while the problem was still prevalent).
Again, all I can say is leave it and hope.
Yeh mine's doing this. My power button actually broke off board a few months ago but got it fixed and I thought it had come off again but the only prob is switching screen on, if I hold it the backlight goes off

noob with few minor questions...

i inherited a tilt 2 that i am using withut a sim card. just wifi, and primarily as a skype phone at home.
works ok with skype, but how do i get wifi to stay on with screen off? everytime i kill the screen with the power button, wifi turns off.
and, even with power settings arranged for screen to go off (both on batt and ac power), the screen never goes black on its own... i have to push power button.
im up for changing roms too... so if u have any advice, all i need is wifi and skype to work. period.
here ya go, fixes wifi stand by issue.
thanks. download and installed... seems to have done the trick.

Wifi Tether App+3G Connection Issues

I tried to search for this, but found nothing close to an answer, and I hope someone can point me to a way of fixing this issue. I am having an issue with wifi-tether (app via marketplace), where your connected and all is good, but it will disconnect then reconnect real quick. It happens quickly, on my laptop, I see the icon show I disconnected, and in about 10 seconds, reconnect. I also noticed that while using it, once the screen turns off on the phone, after maybe 5 minutes of surfing, I have no internet, turn the screen on my phone to see what's up, and notice the 3G icon not there, then it pops up all of a sudden, and my internet is all good.. Anyone else notice that? I have no idea what to do to fix this, so again, any advice would be great. My apology by the way, if I posted this in the wrong secton. Thank you!
I noticed the internet issue don't come into play when the phone is connected to a power source. All last night and most of the day I have it plugged to the ac charger, and when the phone goes to sleep/screen goes off, if I turn the screen back on, 3G icon is there.. As soon as I unplug the phone from the charger, let the screen go off, wait about 3 minutes from that point, click the power button to turn the screen back on, 3G icon is not there, maybe 3 seconds go and it pops up, internet fine.. I never noticed this before, do you lose your interent connection once the phone goes to sleep/screen turns off? If so, is there a method of stopping that? Since I didn't post this before, just in case, rooted with UR3/Stock... Thanks again to anyone that can help me out...

[Q] HTC Desire On/Off button doesn't work anymore...

Hi everyone,
I'm posting this thread because I'm heaving a problem with the On/Off switch of my phone... Since yesterday it doesn't work anymore, so when I push it down, nothing happens...
Yesterday, the power-controll menu (the one who appears when you push the swith down for a couple of seconds) appeared now and then, and my phone randomly switched on and off, so I'm thinking this may be a hardware issue...
My problem here is that I bought the phone in a store that's far away from where I live, so I can't just go and bring the phone for repair... But in the meantime I can't turn my phone on... The only way I can turn on the screen is when I connect it to a power source or when someone calls me.
I've searched the interwebs for software that may help me (something like a button remapper, so that I could use the central button for example as on and off switch) but that's only for rooted devices, and mine isn't...
Any propositions ?

I think his phone was on, so the problem was that he couldn't turn the screen on.

Well actually yes, the device was on but it turned off because of the battery... Luckily, I managed to restart the device by plugging it into the power source and remove/putting back the battery several times...
I noticed now that my battery is draining really fast, the phone can't hold a day of normal usage

phone going into network settings after call?

my ion is constantly taking me to the mobile network settings whenever i end a call, even when data is enabled... how do i stop this from happening?
ive turned off all background data traffic but this issues still persist.
And you've rebooted the phone right. Obvious I know but still. If when it comes up to the network settings have you just been hitting the home button or the back button to get out of that screen? Try backing out of it completely till you are back to the home screen them try another call.

yes, ive rebooted several times. the weird thing is that the network setting comes up when i hit the end call button; it immediately goes to the network setting after my call.
same with me
