[Q] Having big WiFi Problems

Hello all,
This is my last shout for help before I bite the bullet and call T-Mobile to report a hardware fault! Hope it doesn't come to that!
I have been having issues with my Wifi for the last week. I normally use the MIUI Rom succesfully and have no issues. However on one of the latest times I turned my phone on I attepted to switch WiFi on and my phone started boot looping infinitely. This would only stop when i put the phone into Aircraft Mode (i.e. disabling all radios). The MAC Address on the wifi module shows as "Unavalable" .
At first I thought this was a MIUI issue and have spent a lot of time in the IRC over there discussing it with the devs. They have never had someone have so much bother!
This afternoon I decided to reset my phone back to an almost factory state with Root and followed the instructions over at the CM7 wiki to do that.
I have now got an Android 2.2 based sense ROM on the phone. I started the Wifi, it took ages to turn on then tried to scan before a message appared ("Unable to Scan for Networks") twice and the WiFi switched off.
My current setup is this:

and
I have also created a video showing the symptoms:

And finally I have taken a logcat of the phone (cleared just before I tried the wife and exported just after it): logcat on Pastebin
I hope that someone might just be able to help me here!!!
Thanks
Mark

I think you should take your phone to repair centre.

Have you tried re-flashing a radio?

Wifi Drops

Trying to figure out if this is an issue for others or I just have a defective phone. My Verizon M9 has been occasionally dropping signal throughout the past 2 days that I've had it. It's not a signal strength issue and none of my other devices have this problem, so it's not my router.
Anyone else out there a effected by wifi drops on this phone? My build number is below, for comparison.

Have not seen this on mine. Wi-Fi performance has been better than the m8 for me. Netgear r8000 here.

Same here we have 3 m9's in house an no WiFi issue @dottat nice router i got same one

I use UniFi Access Points all over my home due to the size and no issues with WiFI whatsoever so far.

Thanks for the replies, I may be taking it to the store then to swap out since it's looking like the wifi on this phone is kinda defective.

If you disable the switch to cellular setting does it stay connected?

Or disable the Wi-Fi optimization.

Custom ROM or not?

I was wondering what people are doing with their 5X's. The Nexus devices use to be a safe haven for ROM users, but with stock Android getting so good with monthly updates, and Android Pay not being usable on a custom ROM, custom ROM's have been a lot less appealing to me.
Nonetheless, I believe that this device suffers from MAJOR optimization issues, and the combination of CM13 and ElementalX kernel solves a lot of these issues, yet I feel like I'm missing out without the possibility of using Android Pay.
I have also grown tired of factory resetting my phone after doing it countless times over the last few years, and I'm ready to not have to do that for a long while, and the most obvious option for that is sticking with stock.
So what are you guys doing? Sticking with stock? Or are you using some custom ROM as a daily driver?

Did someone say custom ROM?
Flashing is addicting. Fun too. And there isn't anything wrong that. If you have the time and patience it is an excellent hobby.
Sounds like it's getting old to you. Maybe it's time to take a break. Try stock unrooted (or rooted) for a week or so and see if it works out for you. If not flash away. You won't be out anything.
I'm on day 3 of stock unrooted (for the best buy deal). I'm going to see how long I can stay this way.

Xtrons 10.1 questions

I recently purchased a Xtrons 10.1 while I'm liking the unit, I do have a question or two.
1. I've linked to the radio to my home WiFi for updates and such, the download speed is horrendous. Like in kb's per second! It's the same thing if I connect through the hotspot on my phone as well.
2. It only came with Google maps, but with the slow internet speed, I don't think this will work. What are some good stand alone GPS apps I could use without all the internet requirements.
3. I'd like to update my MCU to the most current one in case I want to download a custom ROM and run it.

[MOD EDIT: QUOTED POST REMOVED]
Thanks for the info. The first radio I had, that I sent back had the iGo maps, I liked it pretty good. This radio is terrible when connected to the internet, whether it's WiFi or hotspot through my phone, it's slow as Christmas. Like speed rated in kb's instead of MB's. If I tried a custom ROM, could that help increase the speed

Personally I would contact your seller before changing roms. I have 3 Xtrons branded units and never had a problem with WiFi speed. Although you need to remember that it's not dual channel WiFi. It's only 2.4ghz.
Ask them for an update and if not ask them to replace the unit. As soon as you put a different rom on their the warranty is void.

I never changed the ROM from the factory. The WiFi issues seemed to have worked themselves out on their own. But I do have a different problem. Almost every time I use the other features, the radio just freezes up and I have to do a reboot with the reset button. Any ideas.

Question GPS freezing after few minutes

Hi,
I was posting this on Samsung community topic and have it confirmed - after some time, GPS starts to fly over and suddenly it freezes totaly.
I've made a video of it:
Anyone solved it ?
S22 Exynos...

Mine is behaving the same, s22 ultra exynos. It worked fine before the (March?) update that fixed Whatsapp video playback. I am driving a lot, turning location off and on again so often is making the phone almost unusable for navigation.

Guess we will have to be patient. Last update EVAH did some progress but its not completely ok. Its just much better now.

After latest update and some app permission tweaking it seems Samsung fixed the freeze issue. (At least for me)
Faced the same issue as mentioned here so far.
After patch (see screenshot) gps worked fine for the duration of a 1:10 hour run -tracked- with no interruptions.
However, i sense Samsung pulled a dirty on here.
During the tracked session it seemed the 5G SIM module lost connectivity a couple of times in areas it worked fine before.
Will try converting the SIM to eSIM and test again.
Did anyone encounter similar issue?

I thought so too. But it happened again yesterday. Its much less often than before but it is still present.

Ok, good to know. Thanks for confirming.
