Turning off WI-FI causes phone to freeze - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have been using the phone for a bout a month or so, I quite like it apart from few issues.
When I go to sleep (me, not phone) I usually just turn off the wifi so I won't get any online notifications and still get phone calls and text messages. So when I turn the wifi from the slide down menu sometimes the wifi icon flips half way and the phone freezes, I have to hold the power button to switch it off and start again. It happens almost every night, sometimes before I switch off the wifi I clean the apps running in the background and it feels like it improves the situation because I couldn't get it to freeze if I do that. If feels like the the issue is only after the day of usage of the phone, if I switch on/off the wifi after the restart it doesn't freeze. Anyone else has the same issue?

Have you tried wiping the cache partition? For hardware reset/wipe cache partition instructions please see the following: http://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1011956/

[Q] Deck GB not saving settings

I can't get any of my settings to save. If my phone dies or I turn my phone off, rebooting clears all my settings. I have to reset keyboard to swype, resync my FB and redo SyncMyPics.
It's not a deal breaker but it gets annoying having to redo everything whenever my phone is turned off.
Anyone have any answers?

Problems: Wifi keeps turning on and off when screen is off

Hey there,
I'm using S-off and oxygen 2.2 on my rooted desire and I have a big problem:
Always when I press the power button so that the screen goes off and than turn it on again by pressing it again after some time (20 secs or so) I see that wlan is turned off and the cellular data connection is used. Shortly after the screen went on, WLAN is on again. Is this some default behaviour to save battery? Is wlan really more battery comsuming than the providers data connection?
The problem which arises now is: I'm using http://www.appbrain.com/app/unlock-at-home-using-wifi/com.accedo.unlockathome which unlocks in a certain wifi and locks, when going out of whitelisted wifi networks. When I press power to turn off the screen and the wlan is disconnected after some short time, the screen gets locked and somehow I think that the screen gets on shortly after this. This causes the wifi to connect again and than after turning off again the wifi gets disconnected again. Thus after the lock applications locks the screen and thus shows it again... -> infinite loop. every now and than (i think about once a minute) I see the screen go on and quickly after it off again.
how to fix that?
Do you have something like Juice Defender installed?
Check the sleep policy.
Swyped from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
Set wifi sleep policy to never, under wifi advanced settings.

Nope i havent!
@k3lcior: strangely it's already set to never and though I often see the cellular data icon appear also when I use the phone (e.g. when writing an sms) and directly disappear again there's to be a problem I think with something on my phone!?

[Q] CM7 Power control widget Mobile data button behavior

Mobile data button state doesn't show actual state is mobile data enabled or disabled.
When pressed very shortly it stays off and data icon (left of signal indicator) lit up and data is enabled. On second press data icon dissapears and data is disabled but power widget button is then lit up. This is just one cycle, if pressed again it could happen that state is corresponding to data state or not, no rules.
When pressed longer it sometimes behaves normally, but it is hard to get it how long it should be pressed, sometimes it is short and it is like I wrote above, and sometimes I trigger widget homescreen options.
It isn't functional bug but it is annoying. Any ideas for solution?
Not really
It's not a real bug. Actually my girlfriend's (not jailbreaked) iPhone does the same. When i turn data of and on it sometimes lag or does not understand the command. Have to try again, reboot.
I like to press the icon harder, firm (smth. like that). Because i keep my phone on 2G i usually switch that one as well. Usually i turn 2g> 3G wait fot the change to to happen than press the mobile data and wait. << I do this from the notification bar. You can get the 2g>3G widget from the market. It will send you to the Network setting with one click. you just have to get used to it.
With Widgetzoid you can create all kinds of toggles and indicators. Including a mobile data one.
I dont think I've used mobile data more than to test that works since I installed this a little over a week ago.
(ETA: Not using CM7 (yet), but the plain unrooted Froyo my phone came with. Don't think it matters in this case.)
Thanks bro! Widgezoid is superb! It has all I need and more.
After playing for some time with power widget I found that if state of mobile data isn't displayed correctly in widget if I for example switch GPS on or off it refreshes mobile data button so it displays right state. So it must be that it is refreshing bug on button press.
But that isn't important now when I have Widgezoid

No auto-connecting to wifi when BT connection lost

Hi there,
after update to MM i'm having following issue. My watch doesn't automatically connect to wifi network when i'm going out of the BT range. It will only connect when i wake up the screen and swipe down the top menu or slide left to the app drawer. It looks like you have to first wake up the watch to trigger the action.
Anyone having the same? It's quite annoying as it happens all the time in my home when i'm going between the floors without my phone with me. Of course, i have wifi adapters on both floors. so it's not a matter of wifi signal strength. As i said, when i "trigger" the reconnection, it will connect to wifi without problems.
Thanks in advance.
Having the same problem. Have had the watch 2 days. Anyone have a solution?

Nobody? I have also restored to defaults and configured once more but the issue still occurs. It starts to be very annoying.
a theory: it's in power save mode. Let it go below 15% battery, find the card about battery saver, turn it off. I think I've seen that power save mode stays on even after charging, and can only be turned off with the card.
Also check your settings under wifi/advanced
Thanks. I also tried to remove some saved wireless networks from the watch and it also helped a bit.

Note 4 temporarily freezing completely when connect/disconnect from WI

Hey gang,
This has been going on a few months for me now, and can be pretty frustrating. Compounded by the fact that wi-fi in my own apt is occasionally shoddy with any device, (frequent disconnect/reconnect issue) sometimes it can be downright maddening. Thank god I have a dope case, because I have launched this ****er multiple times now as a result of the issue. Two factory resets have not solved the problem.
Every time my phone connects to or disconnects from any wi-fi source the phone freezes up completely and is unresponsive for anywhere from 5-20 seconds, pretty much immediately after the wi-fi toast message pops up (although occasionally the phone will freeze b4 toast message pops up). After it regains consciousness, the device will "catch up" with whatever inputs were made while it was frozen.
For example: Keyboard open, typing comment on reddit. Wi-fi toast message appears, phone becomes unresponsive. While unresponsive, if I tap 5, g, h, q, back button (touch key), home button (touch key); after becoming responsive again phone will swiftly type "5ghq," close keyboard (go back), then go home (home button) along with the associated haptic feedback responses occurring.
This also seems to be occuring occasionally when I receive text messages. Sometimes but not always. Though, if it happens with one txt received, I can safely assume it will continue to occur until after I restart or (maybe) put phone down for a while.
Restarting or not using phone for a while, however, has no effect on wifi issue. Wifi issue is occuring every single time, no matter what.
Its a minor inconvenience but can be quite irritating
Anyone else experiencing this or able to help? Thx.

I just updated to the DO17 and I am having the same issues... I come from a long line of rooting and rom flashing. This is the first phone I have had that is so locked down that I can literally do nothing.
After this last update I am experiencing the freezes and app crashes like you. It is very frustrating. This will be the last ATT phone I ever own
i have the same problem. not sure what causes this.
