I'm running CM10.2.1 and I use the phone, WiFi only. I've been using it fine for 4 months and haven't made any changes to my WiFi. Starting the day before yesterday my WiFi signal would go gray for a few minutes every hour or so, now it appears almost permanently gray. Everything works except I don't get notifications(I think play store might not either). I've searched the internet for two straight days and tried everything short of starting from scratch. The only thing that worked(for about 5 minutes) was changing the date/time to something random, so as of now, I have tasker doing that every 5 minutes. But even that doesn't work 100%. Please help. TIA

AFAIK the gray notification icons are the new flat color, to make it more cohesive across android systems. My icon is gray running CM 10.2.1 and my wifi works

But I only get notifications when my WiFi is blue. I'm assuming it's some sort of time mismatch issue with the Google servers, but I could be wrong. It's odd though, my date and time are not set to automatic, but when I change the date/time with tasker it jumps right back.

HI all, I am new to android
Followed the excellent tutorials in this forum and upgraded to 2.2 using a file downloaded directly from a HTC link (sorry cant find right now)
Everything is superb but the gps cant get a fix. It has been a few days and I tried various things like restarts, remove battery, clear sky, leave google maps running for long, checked it is enabled in settings etc.
What to do?
What should be the correct version information after the 2.2 update? (in case i installed a beta/incomplete version)
Please help this new droid get back on its feet
I am sorry I have no solution, but I have the same issue. This has nothing to do with 2.2 I think, because it happened all of a sudden. At least it felt like it happened jus like that. I have been using 2.2 for a long time and used GPS. Only recently I noticed the issue.
from my post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7773080&postcount=9
It worked for me! I went to the roof as today is a bright day and used Tricorder app's Geo tab. Touched on it to show satellite.
It kept trying to connect to satellite. The tricorder app shows some satellites as green. Presumably as they are chosen to calculate location. It didn't finally lock-on till it was showing 12 satellites and 4 of them were green. I noticed that I had to remove the jelly cover and :
1. Stand still, she how many satellites it shows signals. In a few seconds it will stop detecting new ones.
2. It it hasn't locked on then move around a bit and change some orientation then step 2 again
3. Repeat above till it latches to atleast 4 green or 12 total signals (dont know which one works the 12 signals or 4 green)
and after that it easily updates even indoors for me.
I usually get a fix in the first minute, usually under 30 seconds. But this time no satellites were showing, not even after 15 minutes. I switched roms and it's working fine again.
I think I must have messed up something by reflashing multiple times. (I was trying to get the bios boot image to work, but sadly no avail )
I've just updated to voda standard 2.2 rom OTA this morning
1st thing I've noticed is the gps is a no go, no sats in view at all.
(using gps test the 'on button' only stays yellow too)
I've not 'messed' with my phone at all other than the standard updates
I must admit I've not tried a hard reset yet but I think that's going to be the last hopeful resort otherwise it's going back for a replacement
I'm seeing many users notice different little bugs with the phone (me included) and instead of having multiple threads about it, maybe we can all post it in one place where later the devs can see it and work on them once the phone is rooted etc.. Good idea/bad idea? I come from an Evo 4g with Sense rom so I wonder how many of these might not really be "bugs" but just a different user experience.
I'll start..
Accu weather app not updating location automatically
apk files downloaded from the computer and then transferred to phone are not showing up (unknown sources, usb debugging checked)
No function when touching the clock widget. It does not launch me to alarm, world clock, time etc menu. Maybe this is just a touchwiz thing as I mentioned above, I come from a sense rom.
So far those are the ones on top of my head. As I use the phone more, I'm sure I'll spot more (hope not!).
Anyone else?
Phone dialer issues
I have to reboot my phone from time to time to make a call.
It just says call ended when i try to call out.
When i reboot it works fine for a few hours.
Mentioned above plus the following so far (except reboot for calling issue):
No landscape mode using TW (auto-rotate enabled)
Red LED only available notification color (REALLY?!)
Skype video calling is upside down when using in portrait mode.
Also, phone call is automatically in Speaker mode when calling after making a Skype video call.
*Occasional phone FREEZES. As in, one minute it is okay, and the next minute, you have to do a battery pull. Happened twice since I got it on launch day.
*Browser closing for no reason. Happened 4 times since launch day.
*When plugged in with Samsung charger, phone's screen will act real glitchy
*SWYPE does not work properly, no matter the settings. Have to type normally.
That's all the software bugs I've experienced. Hardware-wise, there are reports of problems with data, 3G, 4G, and WIFI....I haven't seen any word on Bluetooth yet.

Go exchange your phone -- sounds like a lemon. No other real complaints about freezing or auto-closing apps.

Actually, other's have experienced auto-closing apps and freezing. It's in a thread around here or at sprintusers.com, I forget which.
For the first three days I couldn't get data while roaming though the proper settings were checked. Sprint customer care reset my phone and after an hour of waiting it works.
All else its great (except for the above oddities with Touch Wiz) though I haven't checked GPS after encrypting the device.

Can you elaborate on this issue?
Also, anyone else having similar issues, please chime in.
Are you seeing a circle with a slash through it (no service) when this happens?
Can you receive calls when this happens?
Do you lose 4G or WiFi? Or is it just Voice/3G?
Does it seem to happen sometime after making a call/text (~30min), or any other pattern you've noticed?
Are you rooted?
If yes, what kernel (zedomax or tanimn/shabbypenguin - trying to narrow down an issue with one of the current root kernels)?
Exchange Appt. Notification Bug
I have had multiple reminders pop up for from my Exchange calendar and i can't seem to dismiss or snooze them from the notification bar. The snooze and dismiss buttons are available but are non responsive. The only way I can get rid of the notification is with the "Clear" button which is for all notifications. Has anyone else noticed this?

I know this may sound silly, and you may have already checked this, but check your language settings. I've read about some owners that were having problems with Swype discovered that their language was set to Spanish.
Also, on the LED notifications only being Red, I've been playing with an App called Light Flow. I've at least been able to change the notification colors to Blue using this App. Also, the App lets you use "White" as a color, which still shows a Red light, but blinks very fast if some of you prefer a faster blinking light.
I have had the roaming data issue as well. It does eventually work for me though, but on once occasion it took 10 minutes before data turned on after the roaming started. I will try calling Sprint as well.
Wifi signal is bad.. but speedtest says otherwise. I think the issue is with the amount of bars displayed and not the actual signal. I was standing 5 fee fromt he router and still didn't have full bars.
Ive been having problems today with dropping data connection. Toggling 4G off and on seems to restore it even in no 4G areas. I guess it resets the radio or something?

Just got this phone friday. So far the only bugs I am experiencing are roaming in places my evo got coverage and the security draw pattern having a mind of its own making it very hard to unlock the screen. Also the wifi reception is noticeably weaker than my evo

Ive done that already and it didnt help. Thanks, tho.
Luckily, no freezes or crashes here (knock on wood).
what i HAVE noticed is the rotate bug, for instance
when rotating the phone for texting or browsing, you have to kind of
bring it up to your chest @ about a 90 degree angle in order for it to rotate.
calibrated it all correctly & i still have to do that.
this is my first phone from the Epic/Galaxy company so im not sure if that was a problem in the original Epic 4g (non-touch) but it sure is kind of annoying :/
hopefully the dev's can tweak the gyro or SOMETHING.
Poor Wifi/3g Signal
Noticed lower bars on both wifi and 3g...when in same spot on my Evo 4g I had more...might be just how many bars its displaying and not the actual signal...but not for sure...actually went into roaming a few times when with my Evo 4g I never did (even with roaming was set to automatic...now I have it set to sprint only)
Hello. Has anyone tried updating through Kies? I tried and it says that this version of software cannot be updated. I just got my phone today. I did have problems installing the drivers. After I let it install say one or two drivers, one would error out. Once I unplugged it a few times and then plugged it back it, all of the drivers installed.
I hope this doesn't mean that Samsung is not going to upgrade to ICS or else I am taking this back. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" and it won't allow updating with rooting. Thanks for any input and have a great day/night!

I noticed this too.
you have to check the check boxes next to the calender item. This is deceptive because the boxes have checks in them. But they should be green and not grey.
hope that helps
Ever since I put Jelly Bean on my VZW Galaxy Nexus, if I connect to WiFi and let the screen go to sleep, after a while (ranges from a couple minutes to an hour or so) my WiFi icon will turn grey. It stays this way after I wake up the screen and I won't have Internet connectivity.
I only experience this issue on my home WiFi network. It does not happen on mobile data or my workplace WiFi (which is using WPA2 security like my home network). This issue also has occurred on every Jelly Bean ROM I've tried (stock rooted JB, a couple early CM10 hybrids, Bugless Beast, AOKP build 1 and now CM10 nightlies).
I wanted to test some bare-bones scenarios so I did a clean install of the 8/22/12 CM10 nightly build last night (wipe data / factory reset, format system, wipe dalvik cache, flash CM10, flash gapps, boot). On first boot I connected to WiFi but did not sign in to my Google account or set anything else up. I hooked it up to my computer and ran an adb logcat all night, but the icon stayed blue when I checked this morning.
Since I had no issues in this scenario, I then added my Google account and updated the Gmail app when prompted. Other than that, no change, still haven't even launched an app. Ran another adb logcat and within 10 minutes I started noticing connectivity issues in my logcat so I turned on the screen to check, and sure enough, my WiFi icon was grey.
Attached is the log from the bare bones CM10 after I signed into my Google account and let the screen fall asleep with a blue WiFi icon.
If anyone has any troubleshooting ideas from here, I'd really appreciate the help!
EDIT: Ran a new logcat showing the actual connection process, although this time after noticing the connection issues in the log and turning my screen on, the icon only stayed grey for a few seconds and then turned blue. This is adb-log-2.txt attached.
I assume you already messed with the WiFi sleep settings, right? Also, I read another post explaining that the bars turn from blue to gray when you are not connected to any google services. Not sure if that's true or not.
Anyway, I see the same behavior on my phone at times and although it never bothered me, now I want to know what cause it as well...
Same problem on CM10.
Hi guys,
I have this problem too, in Cyanogen Mod 10. Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi here.
After deep sleep (5+ minutes) WiFi locks it self off, i cant turn it back on because its grey d out.
Reboot so far, seems the only solution, a bit annoying have to reboot every time it goes to sleep, but oh well, this rom is still amazing.
Any solutions yet? I wonder trying a diferent Kernel, eve that most users posted it as useless as it keeps locking itself off. :
Cheers!
I'm also unsure of this issue but sometimes it does happen. Turn on airplane mode and then turn it off a few minutes later or reboot.
Sometimes turning off wifi will fix the issue.
To make sure just go into advanced and turn off avoid low signal thing in wifi if you haven't already.
Also unfortunately some routers are picky on our WiFi drivers as with other phones. It is also ROM related too.
I had a droid incredible and on sense 3.5 it always lost WiFi and signal every 50 minutes to an hour.

so battery died yesterday and I turned it on today and the status bar icons are just grey and don't run blue. Its been like this all day, does not matter if its on data or wifi. It just happened out of the blue no idea what caused it. I didn't install any new apps or anything so its really weird.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried reflashing your current ROM? Wipe Cache/Dalvik? Wipe everything? Plenty of things to do!
Reboot your phone.
If that doesn't help, then go into settings/more/data and back up your APN. Then reset it to defaults.
Also check the simple things. I had a similar issue one time were some how airplane mode got turned on. If all that fails reflash and wipe everything. make sure you have abck up of all your settings. if none of that work call you provider and make sure they dont have it blocked for some reason. Also you may try flashing a new radio file.

i'm on at&t. this happened to me about 6 months ago. here's where it gets interesting: my wife and i both were on S2s at the time and we BOTH had the same thing happen at the same exact time. i was texting at work and noticed the gray bars. i had just been browsing the web 10 minutes prior with the blue signal bars. i texted her and told her i dont have data. she replied back and notified me that she too just got the gray bars and no connection. we were both running 2 completely different roms and kernels. she had been on her rom for 2 weeks and me for 3 months.
at&t said we looked fine on their computers and didnt know why we werent getting data. my wife slipped and told them we were rooted and we didnt get any more useful help after that. randomly, about 6 hours later the connection/data came back and we never saw the issue again
Few days ago my wifi connection went strange... All the time it was perfect, i did nothing new or anything to make it worse. Since then it was fast, quick response and everything. Most apps using internet connection working fine, but some applications or all behave unnatural , especially internet browser. I use ICS Browser on 4.1.2 JB , always. Was working perfect till now. Now its loading till half of progress bar and freeze or sometimes its progress bar goes to 1/10th and freezes. If I wait a long time it finally loads the page, or not. If I press back button and then forward button it loads the page normally. Some app behave the same. Cleaning cache, reinstalling apps won't work. Today I restored Nand backup and nothing. Backup wad made few months ago when internet was super fast. What could make it worse?
If I look on little arrows indicating upload or download under wifi signal strength, they are gray like no connection is made, and once in a while orange one (download) blinks for a second and then again gray for a long time. And it should be lit orange till page loads fully or app do what it needs to do.
I did notice the same using Google Play app. I tap Install and it says Downloading, but nothing happens, but if I cancel and tap install again it works nice. In browseri have to go back and tap link again to make it work fast.
No one have same issues?

Was there any change before you noticed the issue??
You may try turning off your modem and router for 1 minute. Then power on your modem and wait for connex link to become active, then power on your router. Sometimes storms cause equipment to go wonky.
One thing I noticed with old routers for DSL used to create multiple access points using the same SID and security to boost round our house.
That the old routers needed a wee tweaking to allow for newer devices to link properly. Something to do with WIFI sleep signals. I noticed it with Broadcom cards not keeping the speeds at 150mbps and slowly trickling down to 50 to 40mbps. Once I changed the advanced features of my routers (7500 series Westell), I connect at 300mbps and stay, and have no issues with deep sleep wake ups on WIFI.
There is nothing wrong with router. It is something else.
