When using ANY android version beyond 2.3.5 my DHD is experiencing freezes when I turn on WiFi. The behavior is exactly the same from ROM to ROM:
Turn on WiFi and as soon as it makes a connection to the router the entire OS grinds to a glitchy halt. The only way to use the phone again is reboot by battery removal then turn WiFi off.
I have tried Wifix, radio changes, different Kernels, returning to stock (more than once), turning off WiFi battery optimization, checking antenna and many other supposed fixes with no change in behavior.
Attached are two logcats from when this happens. Hopefully someone can make sense of them and see the error because my basic coding knowledge doesn't help me much!
BTW, WiFi Tether was turned off during these logcats but works in general. This issue has me puzzled.

SOLVED.
This turned out to be caused by a tiny crack on the WiFi antenna (on the battery cover) located just beneath where the contacts are situated. A little bit of solder has fixed it and now WiFi works on every ROM again. Hope this helps someone.

guys,
I've issued this before in the rom specific thread, and searched for it, but no answer... (well, partially, but sure don't hope this is the answer; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835547)
When connected to bluetooth (streaming to my audio installation) and wifi on, when the signal drops, rosie freezes... only given time it unfreezes (after pressing the trackpad to wake and unlock and a loooot of time)...
It's quite an annoying error, and I seem to experience it with all gb roms...
It becomes more strange... when wifi on, and checking bluetooth on in wireless settings, wifi drops out... and gets on again...
Anyone any idea? It's kinda driving me nuts... now running the 3d version of acesmod007, but also experienced it on other roms...
- could it be gb related?
- could it be rosie related (somehow?)?
- could it be the radio (see signature)
- could it be kernel related?
- could it have anything to do with the build of the rom?
- could it have something to do....?
many thanks in advance...
So yeah, I have been noticing that my Desire running on the latest MildWild software (and Cyanogenmod 7.2) for that matter has been trouble keeping it's connection constant on Whatsapp.
Basically, it stops 'reporting' when it comes to 'last seen'. Sometimes I have to turn off Wifi (It is mostly on Wifi, can't recall it being the same story on 3G but I think so too) to fix the connection. Other times it just reconnects after a minute.
This happens when the screen is turned off and back on.
It's getting a kind of annoying and I have no idea where to look. I've checked my modem and router and both are fine.
Anyone else with this problem? Any ideas how I can fix this? Also, Wifi Sleep Policy has been set to 'Never'.
the same galaxy s3

Any help please,
Rooted s3, I restore the device but still the same,when my wifi is on and start whatsapp it drop and phone data starts for few seconds the drops,so I have to start wifi again,
I falsh custom rom ,once twice,then I wipe out all my data factory reset, re install whatsapp the problem comes again.when I uninstall whatsapp the wifi stay stable!!!
So there is this one thing that have nagged me in the back of my head with my HTC One X, and it's that the WiFi sometimes (rarely) drops for a few seconds and then reconnects (at full strength), it seems random, happens both in use and when not using it, as in I unlock the phone and it's not connected to the WiFi, 3G connectivity seems to work just fine when this happens, it appears to be a WiFi only thing.
Now I'm sure this is NOT the WiFi hardware fault, the squeeze test does not make my WiFi signal die, and my brother also bought the very same phone, just another color, and it behaves similar in WiFi performance, and it too have no issue with the squeeze test, however, as my brother rarely use WiFi or browse with the phone, I haven't been able to get an answer if his phone behaves like mine does every now and then.
My router is a Netgear WNDR3700, running on Ch 11 (no one else on the channel), and other equipment such as laptops have no issues with it, so I'm wondering if this is software issue or what not, the phone is currently running stock HTC 4.0.4.
What could create this issue I wonder? I'm thinking of setting my routers beacon interval to 1000, it seems to save battery according to some threads, but I can't seem to think this is relevant here.
I have the same issue with my HTC One X+. In fact, I found this topic because I was seeing whether it was an issue (I hope it's not...).
The issue seems random, but now and then I turn on my phone screen to have no signal and then it reconnects. Not the WiFi bug and not a dodgy signal as it's strong.

Im now onto my 3rd white HOX for my wife (my grey one has been perfect!) and the second one suffered really back from wifi drops, the squeze test afaik doesnt drop the signal but make it better???? If I squeze mine it shoots up to full and when I release it, it drops back down really low. If yours and your brothers are the same maybe try another channel
I think this may be the issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1708492
I've heard about nebulous "WiFi problems" but it doesn't seem like there's any authoritative information on what those problems are. In any case, I was wondering if anyone has experienced this:
This is easier to notice while using some kind of streaming service like YouTube, Netflix, or Hulu, but it's not tied to any specific app. While using the tablet for internet-related activity, every once in a while, the WiFi just stops working. The icon shows full WiFi signal bars, and it's still connected, but any and all attempts to use the wireless connection utterly fail. However, turning WiFi off, then back on, immediately fixes the problem. This happens randomly, as in, sometimes it will happen after 5-10 minutes of use, and other times, it won't happen for several hours.
The tablet is relatively new, has never been dropped or otherwise abused, and has the fitted OEM wraparound case on it. I'm at a loss to figure this out, and am close to just sending it back for a replacement. But I wanted to make sure this wasn't a semi-recognized problem before I did so. Especially since this feels like a software/kernel problem that could theoretically be fixed by installing a different ROM.
Thanks in advance!
Hi everyone,
I have 2 Galaxy S8+ from Verizon and here are my issues:
Past issues:
One of them did not come with the Galaxy Apps store (Not the plays store), and that phone also experienced the DQA issue
Current issues:
If I turn on Fingerprint gestures, the fingerprint sensor will stop working, this was an issue I had from the day I got the phone and has continued even through the updates. Here's a thread I made about it a while ago : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/help/fingerprint-sensor-t3595614
My internal speaker has detached, or at least I think that is the issue, as sometimes when I am in a phone call and shake the phone just a little bit, it will either start making a weird buzz sound or completely cut off the sound. Shaking it again will fix it, that's why I think it's a physical issue. I haven't dropped my phone and just in case I ever do, I have a case and a screen protector on it, and neither of them (phone, case, screen protector) have any damage marks on them.
The Biggest Issue: Currently this is the most annoying bug I am experiencing is that whenever I go to lock screen and security in the setting app, it crashes the settings app. I also can't use the search function in the settings app, as it crashes the app withing a few seconds. The lock screen and security is the only menu in which I experience this, I am 99% sure this is due to me turning on Secure startup. I had it turned on a few days after I got the phone and it worked great, I had to turn it off once, about a month ago in order to get a quicker boot. After that I was experiencing issues turning it back on (meaning I turned it on, rebooted the phone and it would not work) , after some persistence, I was able to get it to work and it has worked and still works.
One thing to mention is that I had done the most recent system update, I am not sure this issue was caused by at, since the inability so search in the setting menu has happened prior to the latest update.
I have tried everything other than a full factory reset (wiping all cache, wiping apps cache, reset setting, reset network settings), which I refuse to do, It is absolutely unacceptable for me to pay this much for this phone and have so many issues with it, I have factory resetted my phone (Samsung's recommendation) in order to fix the first issue listed above, multiple times and it did not work.
At this point I really don't know what to do, Samsung support has been useless in this, I don't wish to replace my phone right now as I need it to much to even give up for one day, If anyone has any advice/fix other than factory resetting, I'll happily try it.
Thank you,
GGgamer16
Sounds like a factory reset is needed. I just tried all you mentioned with zero problems on the newest update w/ navbar options and experienced none of that. Speaker problem is most likely hardware related.
Anyone had any luck getting rid of the wifi disconnect? The issue where wifi disconnects showing a ! next to the wifi symbol on the status bar?

You try changing your WiFi channel? Using 5ghz or 2.5ghz? I use Wifi 100% of the time I'm home and never have any issues with disconnects.

Yeah I have tried changing channels. It didn't matter. I'm on 2.4 GHz.
I found a possible fix from another forum. I changed my wifi encryption from wpa2 AES/tkip to wpa2 tkip only last night and was rock solid after that point. I didn't have any more wifi issues... Just wanted to mention this change for other people. I usually got 5+disconnects every night. I'm gonna try just the AES option tonight and see how it acts.
