I'm about to throw this stupid thing against the wall. Since I bought this thing a couple months ago I've noticed that sometimes when I am watching youtube a box will pop up telling me that I've connected to T1 (the name of my wifi network). It seemed odd because I was already connected but whatever. Then lately I've been using the HBOgo app to watch shows, and at some point during every episode the app will freeze and I will have to back out and then resume the episode. I assumed it was the HBO app, but I've started to realize that it is the tablet itself freezing and disabling wifi. I realized this today when I was trying to download some files. Nothing too large, 60-100mb, but the downloads were always failing before they could complete so I would have to start over. I start to download a file, the download should only take a couple minutes at the most, but before it completes, somewhere between 30% to 95% downloaded, the whole tablet freezes up and becomes completely unresponsive. Then the wifi icon disappears from the top right, and the wifi button next to location, bluetooth, etc, goes from green to gray, then after a few seconds it goes back to green and a box pops up telling me that I am connected to my wifi network again. I start the download again and the exact same thing happens. I've also noticed that the tablet gets quite hot around the camera.
It does the same thing when connected to my TP Link Archer C7 (just using N, not AC) and a netgear router I had lying around. I doubt it's the network as the router has no way to forcibly disable wifi on my tablet. When I said that the wifi button goes from green to gray, it's as if I had tapped it to manually disable wifi, even though I did no such thing.
Also, it does seem like if I turn the screen off and let it sit for a while to cool down, it will work until it heats up again. Once it starts to feel hot though the wifi will start disabling itself and downloads start failing again.
I'm only about 10 feet away from the router with direct line of site.
So is it just overheating? Defective and time to send it in under warranty?
Everything is stock.

So I just got my Note 2 this past Friday to replace my original Note. It was fantastic until yesterday.
Was playing with the cards on Google Now and the screen went black. Nothing worked until I pulled the battery and restarted. Most everything was fine after that except wifi. It keeps toggling itself on and off roughly once or twice second. It's set to stay on always so its not related to that. I can sit there and actually watch the on/off switch slide back and forth, it will do this roughly 100 times over 5 minutes and then shut off the entire phone.
Very frustrating for a new phone. any thoughts before I go exchange this?
try factory resetting it
done it, twice, still happening
Are you using the 5g wireless connection (if your router supports it)? I've had nothing but problems on recent Android versions connecting to that. It will disconnect and reconnect several times a minute. It started with my Galaxy nexus, continued with my S3, and now my Note 2.
If I connect to the standard wireless (The 2.4GHz band), everything is fine. I don't doubt it's probably my router (Netgear WNDR3400), but I hope this helps.
It's not the first time that this happens to me with Maguro Galaxy Nexus, as the title says:
Often I take the phone to use it at home and it stays there trying to connect forever to wherever I try to conenct, being it Google play market, browser pages, google now, etc.. It is like networking is stuck trying forever. Wifi seems on since the wifi indicator is active.
The only work-around is turn wifi-off and back on. But this keeps happening and never comes back when it reaches that state, the other day the phone remained like that more than 7 hours, so it does not come back ever.
I'm using CyanogenMod 10.2 M1.
Anyone else experienced this?
So I just purchased the tablet brand new about 2 weeks ago. Love it for the most part!
Over the past couple of days though, the wifi has really started to act up, and it's passing me off.. About every half hour or so, sometimes longer, sometimes shorter, the wifi will just stop working for a while. The bars will still be there, as will the little "download" and "upload" arrows lighting up as though data is still being sent and received. However, the wifi just isn't working. Pages won't load, speed test . net app won't work, nothing requiring wifi.
I usually have to go into wifi settings to disconnect and reconnect for it to start working again.
I haven't done anything different to my wifi router, and my other wifi connected devices don't seem to be having any trouble staying properly connected, so it doesn't seem like it'd be an interference issue.
Can anyone provide me with some help?
Has anyone else experienced frequent disconnects between the watch and the phone?
It was happening with my modded Note 3, which had a custom kernel so I was thinking it may be that. But now (for 2 weeks) I've been on a stock Note 4, and it keeps happening. Every once in a while, once a day or maybe once every two days, the phone and watch disconnect.
Android Wear says "connecting" but never does unless I click on Disconnect and then click on Connect, at which point it connects immediately.
I had "Find My Phone" installed, which would notify me when I got disconnected, so I thought it may be that. Uninstalled it a few days ago. Still happens. It's not a huge deal, but it's annoying and I don't see why it should happen.
Any idea?
Noticed the same with my 360 and Nexus 5. Both on stock latest versions.
Issue with mine is that the Moto360 constantly says Disconnected when trying to connect to my Note4. I click connect, it says connected and then quickly changes to Disconnected.
Been trying to figure it out for 3 days now.
I think I realized that the issue is in reconnecting.
I still don't know why sometimes it disconnects, but disconnecting itself wouldn't be an issue if then it proceeds to reconnect on its own.
But I realized that when I'm at home, I leave my phone by the computer and walk around. If I walk outside of the bluetooth range, then it disconnects. That's fine. But then it should reconnect when I come back into range, and it never does. It says "Connecting" and never reconnects unless I do it manually as I said in the OP.
So I guess the question becomes: why does it get stuck on "connecting" when it's in range and should be connected? Is this a Samsung issue or a Moto360 issue?
I have seen the same issue with my Moto 360 and an original Moto X. It normally reconnects but then once in a while it just won't. The easiest solution I have found is to turn bluetooth off and then on again on my Moto X. That always brings it back, a reboot of the 360 does not.
Well as I said in the OP, if I go into Android Wear, click Disconnect and then click Connect, it works. But there is absolutely no reason why it shouldn't auto-connect. If it disconnects, and I don't notice, the rest of the day I go without notifications until I realize the watch has disconnected. That's not how this should work.

Hi, i have the same problem, my watch always disconect to my phone (moto x), and then the bluetooth system never start again. When I enter in setup ---- bluetooth---- the bluetooth switch doesn t turn on again until phone reboot.
this is so annoying. and it seems like there's a few people experiencing the same thing but nobody seems to have hit a solution. I have yet to come up with one. if I do, i'll post on here.
Same happens with mine. It just prompts me with a "connect" screen on my phone once in a while. After connecting 2-3 times, it won't appear until next time I turn off Bluetooth.
I get this problem about 2 times per day...running with a Note 2 running 4.4.2 stock but rooted....
Hi,
So I had the razer phone for a week now and wondering if anyone has experienced or fixed two things:
1) Is quick charging always on?
I can't find any setting for it and I charge at night so I don't need quick charge unless it's an emergency.
2) When using headphones, Google music and YouTube will pause and start playing randomly. I would of thought maybe a unstable internet connection might be the case but even my downloaded music does it as well.
If anyone has solutions or can confirm they have the same issues, would be greatly appreciated.
I have had a similar issue as well. I use slingbox heavily, and when using my Verizon 4g sim for Data only, and Wi-Fi enabled I would see a random Grey (looks like a blank message prompt) blurp appear at the bottom, center of my screen. It would cause my Slingbox app to lose connection and close the video. Once i removed the Sim card from the phone, and use it in Wi-Fi only mode, I do not get the problem. I thought I would share my similar story.
Cheers.
Well, if anyone else is getting the random pausing and playing, I have narrowed down the issue to the USB audio dongle having some wiggle room when plugged in (IE standing or sitting still = no problems but if you're moving, you have a good chance of the dongle wiggling around and causing disconnects and reconnects which is why it pauses and plays).

No I am not. I did not have the phone connected to a charger when i encountered this problem. I came across it when i was doing battery test. I crank the brightness up, and stream my slingbox to see how long they can go. When my slingbox kept dropping connection, but not displaying a network error I started to take more notice of the issue. Once I was able to catch the problem in the act, I saw this random grey window appear at the bottom center of my screen. Slingbox drops the video, and goes back to the main login screen. The amount of time between disconnecting was also random. Sometimes it would disconnect almost right away, other times it would stay connected upto 15 minutes before dropping.
Once I remove the Sim and use Wi-Fi only, there is no issue.
Cheers.

I am in the same situation. With my CDMA/UMTS/LTE sim card I do get a data connection but I have frequent data drop offs. I'd see LTE, one minute then half signal with 3G then no signal at all. Even with cellular data off and only on wifi i would also experience drop offs of from the wifi also. It would even drop my magic jack calls only on home wifi as soon as the other person answered. Took the sim card out and I have no issues.
I think he was asking if you were trolling because we are off topic in that we do not have GSM carriers.
