Hey guys !
I've been having some problems with my phone, which is running stock unrooted GPE lollipop. My wifi keeps dropping, I mean it looks still connected, but there is no traffic. If i am playing a youtube video from 5 meters from my router, it randomly stops playing and starts buffering the video(even changing the resolution of the video to 240p). Like i had low signal(although I had 4/4 bars). And this extends to g+ not showing posts and pictures, web pages not loading, in a word, bad connection and/or really slow. I tried to do a speedtest and had under 1 mb/s down, although I was sitting a few meters from my router(sometimes it would be really inconsistent, like start with 40-50mb/s and start oscillating in high margins down to 1-2 mb/s). I only have this problem on lollipop, on stock kitkat it's perfect.
It there a way to solve this? I'm thinking of flashing the stock sense kitkat radio. Will that even work?
I tried the simple fix that was done on m7 when it was upgraded to kitkat - changing the wifi direct name of my device. I'm still testing if that worked.
Thanks ! :good:
If you've saved a radio.img or can find an original radio.img for your phone you can try to switch back to the old radio and see if there is any difference. radio shouldnt affect wifi, but it's worth a try since you can allways go back to the gpe radio.img using adb.

I've had this S3 for over a year now and I've been trying almost all new roms and tried overclocking but none seems to help the lag. I know it's there because my S2 is smoother in everything other than internet browser speed. I can play same game in full detail smoothly on S2 but I have lags even with low detail in S3. Any normal use seems to be okay but here are the annoying issues and I'm hoping someone has advice. Below are the list of issues that occur in every ROM I've tried.
- BT constantly drops connection and sometimes reboots phone. (I've tried turning off PBAP. This does not help. I've also tried raising min Mhz)
- Some games lag a lot. Reinstall/download does not help. Sometimes turning off WiFi helps with lag. Receiving SMS alert during game causes massive lag
I've been trying to install 4.3 knoxless version but gets stuck in Samsung screen so I gave that up. I might try CM11 next although I didn't have good luck with CM builds (seems to worsen the issue).
Any advise before I put this on CL?

If you're getting the same issues on various roms then it is definitely a problem with the phone.

Hi there,
I have been using the CloudyG3 2.5 ROM on my G3 (D-855) for the past month and something strange is happening to the phone. I must admit, the phone fell of a couple of days ago, but this shouldn't have any relation to my issues. All of a sudden, the sound just stopped working everywhere, even when I use the Music Player it gives me a Playback error and the Messaging and Phone Apps crash all the time. Even ''system'' crashes. Then I decided to use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089 and flashed a stock ROM. This did not solve the issues with sound and Messaging and Phone crashing all the time. I have a SIM card in the phone but it doesn't allow me to make phone calls, it just hangs. Weirdly enough, I get mobile internet and full bars of reception everywhere I go. WiFi also works fine.
Please help a brother out, I really don't know what to do at this point!
Kind Bump
Tried different stock and custom ROMS, but the same processes and apps crash, mainly System process and com.android.phone.
Anyone have a clue? I am really stuck as I can't use my phone for anything.
Hello everyone,
A few weeks ago I was running an optimized version of CM 12.1 on my TMobile Galaxy S4 (this one) http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-orig-develop/exclusive-antaresone-alucard24-s-t3066696
It was working completely fine until I downloaded and installed an OTA update for it, and ever since then my phone has been acting wonky (not sure if updating actually caused it, but it happened around the same time)
Some of the problems included:
- Phone consistently crashing/freezing. I need to reboot multiple times a day to get over it.
- Soundcloud sometimes doesn't work. Usually it just doesn't load even though I have LTE, and other times it shows the song is playing but I don't hear anything. After a hard reboot, it works temporarily. Phone also crashes occasionally when I open Soundcloud
- Youtube also sometimes doesn't work. It's the same problem where it doesn't load even though I'm in WiFi. Also crashes occasionally when I open it
- Music player sometimes doesn't play songs I have saved
After experiencing all this, I took it as an omen to upgrade my ROM so I downloaded and flashed Resurrection Remix 6.0 for my S4 and I experienced the same problems. As a final straw, I downloaded and flashed a rooted stock 4.4.2 firmware (which I'm running now). The phone doesn't crash as much thankfully but I still have problems with Soundcloud, Youtube, music player, and just persistent freezing.
My phone was fully functional and suddenly I experienced this array of problems. If anybody can help me out or point me in a right direction, I'd be incredibly grateful as I love this phone and I don't want to abandon it (well...until the S7 comes out)
ODIN back to stock with the full firmware.

Okay, thank you very much I'm downloading it as we speak.
I was wondering if you have any idea of what the cause of these problems are as I'm looking to experiment with more ROMs in the near future but I don't want to make the same mistake again.

Can be a variety of things depending if you tweak stuff, install xposed, etc.
Generally if you make sure to do full wipes between roms you should be OK...
One more thing to check might be your microSD card. They can go bad on occasion. Try running without or with a different one and see if issues persist.

i noticed this with my s4 as well, but mine has to do with the sim card error. when i'm on stock tw 4.4.4 i rarely get a sim card error. then i flash other roms and i get the sim card error more frequently. for instance i just installed the Resurrection Remix rom last night an i've already experienced the sim card error at least 6 times already. i really like this rom so i'll have to deal with it, but if it gets the error too frequently, i don't mind going back to stock KK 4.4.4.
Hey, does anyone else have this problem or know of a fix?
Basically almost everytime I try to connect a bluetooth speaker to my Tab S the WIFI slows down. I have a 200Mb connection, which works perfectly, but when I connect my "fake" beats pill to it, the WIFI slows and Youtube constantly buffers on HD streams, when I run a speed check I usually get between 0-10Mbps, now, if I turn off Bluetooth the speed will increase back to between 150-200Mbps. So it's definitely a bluetooth problem.
The thing is though, if I continuously discconnect the Wifi, bluetooth and powering off the Tab S eventually it will connect fine and speed will run as usual, but obviously rebooting everything for 15minutes is a pain and if there's a fix, I'd like to find it.
Thanks for the help guys.

Yes I also had the same problem with the ROM stock, I had to disconnect it to connect again so that it worked well ... since installing ironrom 3.2 no problem. I feel my English, a greeting.
Try this.

so i have the 10.1 tablet thats been running very well on GraveD's minimalistic rom 4.4.2
been so for years now , the tablet has been handed to my son , offlate ive noticed the issue where the wifi only connects when the tablet i in a few feet of the wifi
i have tried both 2,4 and 5 ghz response is about the same.
i then opened up the back and reseated all cables,then proceeded to format n reload the same os, isuue persisted, i then loaded ccm13 n the issue seemed worse, gonna goback to GraveD
anybody know what could the issue be, this minor quirk is limiting usage of the tablet
