[Q] What bugs have you noticed? - Samsung Infuse 4G

So far the only thing that is bothering me is the wallpaper. It keeps switching back to the default after I change it. Also, text messages have been failing to send and I have never seen that before. I have a micro cell so its not a network connection issue. Other than that its all aces so far.

I've had it a little over 24 hours now. The only problem I've had is with Tango. It seems to be a problem with various Samsung phones and the update that Tango just did. The video from the front camera is turned 90 degrees. It also zooms way in, so they may only see your lips. My sound is a bit low, too. It's on the forum over there and the engineers say they are aware of the problem and are working on it.

I've come across a (possible) WiFi issue with two separate devices in the past week. Lets say I join my home WiFi network and I decide to head to work. Once I get to work, I join that network. Now, when I leave work and go back home, the Infuse won't automatically pick up the home network again until I manually turn off the WiFi and turn it back on. Only then will it finally switch over and join the network. It seems to do this regardless of where I'm going and where I've been.
While I'm not sure this is an issue with the phone or my service here in town, but I seem to be either timing out on data connections a lot or having extremely slow speeds over the network. This wasn't ever a problem with my Inspire, iPhone, or any other device have carried.

I am noticing same said WIFI Issue.

I also have a wifi issue. I have 3 other phones in my household. My wifi is with ATT U-Verse. All the other phones connect to the wifi perfectly fine and holds the connection (iphone, droid incredible, droid x)
However, when I try to connect to my Wifi through my Infuse, it'll connect for about 2 minutes, and then cut off. The wifi signal will still show that it's active with full bars but nothing that requires data will work (ie browser, app store, email, youtube etc).
Since I am unable to connect to wifi, I have to put it back to H+. This isnt good because I only have the 2gb plan and i download a bunch of apps and watch a bunch of movies on it all the time.
Is anyone else having this problem?

I cant get the front camera to work on fring.....

the auto brightness turns back on all the time. the notification bar is also a brightness adjustment if auto brightness is off, just hold the bar till the pulldown dissapears and move your finger to the right. it will get brighter. i used this a lot on the captivate, having auto self turn on is quite annoying.

not that problem but my signal is low compared to the captivate, also i once needed to turn wifi off then back on because it refused to connect to a visable network.

The front camera for fring is not working for me either

app drawer
I am having an issue that the TouchWiz app drawer will open and it will be completely black. About a second later a little spinning progress icon will appear and about 4 seconds or so after that it will finally populate, sometimes out of order.
I have been a fan of LauncherPro and used it on my N1 prior, so I installed it on the Infuse and have not had any problems. Its a good thing I hate the TouchWiz launcher anyway, otherwise this would annoy me.

I noticed that the power button isn't real responsive when I got to unlock the phone.

The stock browser for was a nightmare!!!!scrolling isnt smooth,and it wont resize the text good.any one else had that problem? Now i use dolphin hd and launcher pro and it works great!!!! Oh yeah, i couldnt get the front cam to work on yahoo.

First over night charge last night and when I took it off the charger this morning it was at 84%. It didnt completely charge to 100%. I had to finish charging it in the car on the way to work. If this happens again, unfortunately I'd have to return this device. Battery seems to drain fast as well for me. This device sort of reminds me of the droid x.

I also have had the wifi not automatically connecting happen sometimes. It has also done that for my Bluetooth radio as well. I have to turn off my bluetooth and turn back nor, or have to connect it manually.

that is also a bug in 2.3.3 on the i9000. it may only happen a couple times. not a big deal especially because the battery life seems pretty good

yeah it seems the device mapping in the kernel is a little funky. fring uses the wrong camera as well

Not sure if it's a bug or not but I tried GPS on the Infuse at AT&T store today. The Infuse got a lock for 10-15 secs then lost the lock and not able to get a lock again. The Atrix and the Inspire next to it didn't have this problem.

samsung still has funky stuff going on with gps. though this phone has vastly upgraded hardware you can make improvements still.
there is an app that you access through a dialer code called lbs test mode. im not sure what the code is so i use launcher pro activities to launch it. that has gps settings.
there is also a config file called secgps.conf. i think this is a secondary config for it to fall back on. i set this file up to match lbs tset mode and get better results. i also turn off "use wireless networks" in settings>location and security
it seems verizon had a more seemless implimentation of these things on the fascinate. though it's raw gps output is not so good.
it seems like if the quality of one location mode isnt good enough on a captivate or the infuse it switches to another location service and starts from scratch. this can cause more issues than poor performance. the more you limit the options for the system on gps the better it works on these phones. i can even get a captivate to track flawlessly despite its weeknesses in accuracy.

My lockscreen keep loosing the pattern even though I set it, this could be related to widgetlocker though i doubt it because when I change from pattern to pin it now works. This thread is the reason why I left samsung before, I am hoping that this phone proves to be different....to be honest short of the lock screen thing and the struggle I have with battery life this seems to have 1 upped the captivate. OOhhh also I changed the screen density I can't stand that 240 density they create trying to be like apple icons etc wayy too big.

Very Slow gps lock

I just got my sensation yesterday, coming from the G2x, my gps lock when using google maps/navigation takes more than 10 minutes to lock. I turn in in landscape mode loses data connection as well. Anyone else experiencing very slow gps locks? My g2 was instant
Something is wrong. Mine takes about 20-30 sec.
Return it
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
Same exact thing here except for the data issue, on my second device and its nothing like my G2. Have you Tested other areas? Use gps test (by Chartcross Limited) and see your signal strength and how many satellites you can connect to.
My G2 can see 12 in a few sec
My Sensation only sees 3-0 at poor signal
Don't really have an option to return it cause I purchased it off of craigslist, and I use Simple Mobile. So I don't even have a T-Mobile account. Unless someone knows a work around this, I am forced to send it to HTC for "repair".
Just got my Sensation yesterday. First thing I tested was GPS. My heart sank when it saw zero sats outside. Tried various test apps, Google Maps, etc., checked and double checked settings, rebooted several times. Nothing. The GPS icon never even showed in the notification bar. Was about to box it up to send back and decided to pop the battery out. Rebooted, and bingo! Excellent signal strength even indoors, very quick locks, typically accurate to under 15 ft, and very stable map location. As close to perfect GPS as I had hoped for. Coming from the Vibrant GPS fiasco I'm VERY happy.
wish I could say the same about mine

Did you download GPS test from the market and use the calibration tools? It could help. Or you can also try pulling the battery (old BB trick) instead of restarting to see if that helps. Keep your head up.
I got mine yesterday and had the same experience. I fixed it as follows:
SETTINGS->LOCATION -> Make sure "Use Wireless Networks" is UNCHECKED
Since unchecking that option, my locks are much faster.
However I turned WiFi Calling on and it started behaving like before. Never seeing satellites, minutes for lock.
I turned off WiFi Calling and now I get <10sec lock again.
Sounds like a software issue that HTC needs to figure out.
Let me know if anyone has success with this.
Did you try it out inside?
I just went outside and it's pretty cloudy and got 5locks in 3seconds and 10locks in under 10 seconds.
So there is something wrong or you are doing something wrong

My Nexus S isn't able to maintain a good GPS signal... What's wrong?

With 3G and the GPS antenna turned on, when I use Navigation the circle is constantly jumping around, sometimes it's big, other times it's small, and it never disappears completely leaving just the Navigation arrow visible.
Same goes for Maps itself, even while stopped it doesn't lock correctly. Is there anything I can do about this?
I'm not sure if the Nexus S has A-GPS, but if it does, I don't think it's using my carrier's data plan to help with locking the signal. I say this because after it has downloaded the map data, the 3G icon in the notifications area doesn't show the down and up arrows moving.
I'm on Android 2.3.6, completely stock and unrooted.
Hi,
Have u tried using Navigation/Maps app with WiFi turned ON?
It will gain accuracy of your GPS.
As for the GPS, it is a persist problem, you could retrieve lots of results by Google "Nexus S GPS"...
Some users suggest that use without battery cover could gain a much stronger GPS signal.
I encountered this problem as yours, plus with the compass disorder in Navigation app only.

I forgot to mention, I usually have Wi-Fi turned on anywhere I go, but the only network my phone knows is my home wireless connection. And if I'm using GPS on my phone, I'm not at home, so yeah...
Though if I try to use GPS on my phone, while connected to my home network, it gives me a much better result, though not perfect. It gives me a precision of 30 meters when connected to my home network.
And I tried it just now without the battery cover, and the results are the same, pretty bad.
I had the same exact issue with a previous Nexus S 4 G and I took it in to Sprint. I told them the GPS couldn't get a lock and when it did, it would instantly lose it. They tested it and issued me a replacement. They said the GPS antenna...or something in regards to the GPS (can't remember the exact name) was going bad.

Just to make sure, what is a "lock"? Does it mean the phone just having the arrow displayed, or the arrow with a circle around it on maps?
Because the latter is what happens to me, it never fails to "get" my location, it just isn't really that accurate...

When you open Maps and press the little circle icon in the upper right hand corner, the GPS is finding your location and locking you in. While its doing this the GPS icon in the status bar keep flashing until, the GPS locks on to you.
If it doesn't lock on you or cant, the GPS icon just flashing.
Now when I had my previous nexus, it never locked on me. But when I used navigation, it locked on after about 2-3 minutes but as soon as started to drive, it would lose the lock it had on me and display "GPS signal lost."
I used GPS toolbox to reset the gps calibration or whatever it does and that didn't work either.
So that's when I took it to sprint

Remove battery back cover will solve your issue
I've had this problem since updating to stock 2.3.6 too. My phone was fine on 2.3.4. This week I got the OTA update to 4.0.3 and it does seem to have improved things but has brought other problems - mainly with horrendous battery drain ...75%+ drain in 9hrs on (mostly) standby. Today I unplugged my phone 1½hrs ago, typed this reply and already I'm down to 74%.

My wife's Nexus is draining the battery fast. It wont last half a day. The GPS Icon is blinking and I have Wifi and GPS on. I think an OTA update ruined hers also

GPS icon blinking constantly is the main reason for the draining battery. Look for the app that is using it. Might be Facebook, Maps, or others running in the background. Close it/them.
turn off WiFi when not needed.
I get over a day of battery on a single charge with custom ICS.

Are you really serious about this
GPS takes a lot of time to lock for me irrespective of the ROM
The removal of the battery cover might slightly improve the signal but in my honest opinion it's mainly a placebo effect.
I'm having the same experience as the original post.
The problem is not obtaining a good satellite lock, it does that as it normally would. The problem is after it obtains the lock, it will jump anywhere from a mile to twenty miles away at totally random times.
When I get home and look at my tracks over the day using Google Latitude, I see that I was transported to various positions around Los Angeles at totally random times. It's really frustrating when I'm driving waiting for instructions on the next turn and the GPS says that I'm still sitting at the stoplight half a mile back.

Totally understand. I experienced the same thing with the i9023 version. I switched from ROM to ROM and constantly experienced the same issues.
However, strangly enough the signal seemed to have improved a lot after I updated to ICS 4.0.4 that was released just recently. If you can, get the update and give it another run. I've been turning it on while driving on the freeway to see how good it's been working - so far it's kept the lock fairly accurate and haven't gotten the lost GPS message.
And the battery cover was left on!

Nexus S has AGPS, and you can try to change an AGPS server. Please do a web search for more information.
For one reason or another when I first got my NS over a year ago I had to replace the first five. Out of those five there was one in particular that had GPS issues (took for ever to find a signal, frequently lost signals when driving, and just overall an inconsistent user experience), but the others worked amazing. Initially I would think it's a hardware thing, but seeing as though that other guy said 4.0.4 helped a bit. I'd certainly give that a go if you haven't already.

[Q] "other" WiFi issue??

Ok so it seems many people have some complaints about the WiFi on the One X but from what I have found, no one has the same problem as me.
When using WiFi after around an hour or so (seems to vary) of not being used the WiFi seems to loose connection, but it still says its connected and the only way you can tell it really isn't working is by trying to use the net in some way.
I turned on the "best WiFi performance" option and that seemed to stop the connection loss but really eats up the battery. So that is not a full time option.
I wonder if i should be taking this phone back and exchanging it (once they leave customs)
I also have an issue where when I put the phone in the car dock (unfortunately not the nice one that connects with the back contacts like I thought I had ordered but one that uses USB) when I take it out my lock screen no longer shows the weather when you hit the power button, I have to go back into the personalize settings and change it to another lock screen and then change it back.
Some detail: when connection is lost the phone is sitting in the same spot which is only about 3 feet away from the router. My previous TC Aria running CM7 would also lose connection occasionally but it was no where near as often as this. I thought that maybe it was my router seeing that its an old Linksys WRT54G Ver2 but no other devices that use WiFi have this issue. I updated to the leaked 1.82?? version but I still have all the same problems.
Anyone else have this issue? Think I should exchange?

Moto X Play WiFi Performance Issues

Hey guys, got my Moto X Play delivered on Tuesday and so far I'm loving nearly every aspect of it, the camera and the large battery are definitely an improvement over the Moto X 2014 that I upgraded from. However, one issue that seems to keep bothering me is the wifi. Basically it seems to constantly drop the connection for no reason at all, my Internet at home is provided by virgin media and the virgin hub is in modem mode and I'm using a TRENDnet router to broadcast wifi. No other devices in the house seem to have any issues connecting with this setup.
The moto x play seems to connect fine to both the 5ghz and 2.4ghz networks but after a couple of minutes they just seem to loose signal. The wifi icon in the status bar doesn't change to imply that this has happened but chrome or Netflix, etc will just get very unresponsive. The phone has been restarted several times since I got it, I have also tried 'forgetting' the network and re-entering the password (on both 5 and 2.4ghz) and I have also tried the setting in lollipop to change the wifi type from auto to 5ghz only and to 2.4ghz only but nothing seems to have any effect. Does this sound like teething problems that could settle down to anyone else or does it sound like a faulty device?
Has anyone else had any issues with this phone?
I had these issues when I bought my tablet and thought maybe it was the tablet. Then I tested the tablet at my brother house who had different service provider and it worked fine.
So maybe give it a go at a resturant or a friends house and see what happens.
P.S I was with Virgin Media aswell when I had these issues no idea if they are connected.

Thanks Geordie Affy, i'm actually going to be at my parents this weekend so i'll give it a go on there and see if the situation improves
Hoping it settles down as i really don't want to go to the effort of returning it to amazon
Its most likely your router not your phone causing these issues.
No problem ... keep us posted [emoji106]

Ok so, bit of an update.
We had a visit to the mother in laws last night and i tested this issue with their wifi (provided by BT, using all original BT equipment) and still got the same issue. I'm concerned now that this is a problem with the handset.
Any other thoughts on what could be causing it or what i could try to cure it?
Another bit of info i've discovered recently is that even on 5ghz when connected to wifi the phone really seems to struggle to multitask (from a web perspective) i.e. if i'm updating apps on the play store i can't successfully browse the web on chrome and vice versa.

I want to confirm that I have wifi issues too. Just received my device and wifi it's not working. I never had any issues with other devices in my house and I have lots of them. Phone seems to be scanning indefinitely.
Have a look if you have the same exclamation mark over the wifi icon?!
Any updates on your device so far?
No, mine is even more frustrating in that the icon remains the same whether I'm connected or not. I've spoken to a guy at Motorola on live chat this morning and as I'd done all the things he had suggested already he recommended doing a factory reset. At least that's one of the big advantages of this phone is that I can backup all my stuff to my sd card and eject it before reseting. Should make it a whole lot easier.
The only thing that seems to have made any kind of difference, and really, it could just be coincidence (as I don't know how these things work at a scientific level) but I reset the router this morning I. E. Turned it off waited a minute or two and turned it back on again and that seemed to improve things slightly. In fact I thought it had cured it as this morning I was unable to even get through one song on Spotify but since the reset I managed to get through an album and a b8t before the connection borked. Since then the signal had dropped out once or twice but not on the same scale as before.
Debating whether to bother with the factory reset now...
I somehow got my wifi working but now I am browsing and whole browsing experience no matter what website I am in is stuttering and lagging .Simple browsing in Google Play store remains the same jerky ,same thing observed on facebook app.
Even my friends Sony M works much smoother. I have tried both H+ 4g and wifi performance very inconsistent. Don't know what to think
Wifi is definitely slower on my Moto X Play than it was on my Galaxy S6. Just going by memory (which could be wrong), I want to say that my LG G3 and Galaxy S5 had better wifi than the X Play too. I only had it for half a day, but the 3rd gen Moto G even seemed better.
I do have an odd issue with the wifi that is annoying but easily fixable (thankfully). Every time the phone boots up, I get the exclamation mark over the wifi icon and it just runs off my mobile data. If I toggle the wifi off and back on, then it connects properly to the wifi and no more exclamation mark. I have to do this every time I restart the phone though.
Hopefully an update will fix this.
How odd it is . I was playing with Moto G 3 gen and it was smoother that Moto X play.
What I am now finding strange is at my parents the wifi has seemed fine! However amazon are already sending me a replacement unit today. Not sure what to do now.

Yeah I thought it would be the case. Had issues like this but never figured out why it happened tbh. Fortunarlely after a couple of months we changed our internet to BT and worked a treat (Minus BT going down haha)

I've had issues with this as well. Appears to be connected but no data transmits while every other device works fine. Only happening on one old router not all. May have something to do with Motorola dropping the "ac" WiFi standard on this phone. More annoying is the phone being slow to pick up a cellular signal after leaving WiFi. I've had this happen often and for as long as 5 minutes.
I got my Motorola x play about two weeks and I've just noticed a few Wi-Fi issues. I'm connecting it too the super hub router provided by virgin media on the 5ghz signal and it was fine when I noticed if I held the phone by the top half in the palm of my hand instead of the bottom half, the signal strength shown by the icon in the top right hand corner would drop by half. Is anyone aware if the phones Wi-Fi aerial is on the upper reaches of the phone?
I too have noticed this. Thought it was all in my head which is why I hadn't mentioned it previously lol.
I haven't so far been able to replicate the issues you guys are facing with WiFi. Performance seems to be in general at least on par with my late Galaxy S4.

This could also be a Android 5.x issue. I'm facing similar problems on my LG G2 running SlimLP. WiFi and also cellular seems to be dropping for no apparent reason and I have to manually reconnect. Interestingly though, my Nexus 7 WiFi 2013 doesn't have these issues running UberCM 5.1.1.
other problems with WiFi.
I have this strange problems. See if someone else has the same.
I used googled maps for GPS me to destination. When I am driving WiFi cut off and the phone use data. When I am arrive at destination. I go to McDonald. The phones can't connect to free WiFi at McDonald's. Even this is a saved network. I turn off then on the WIFI, still not connect.

List your issues!

So guys anyone having issues with their phone? List them and if anyone can help resolve it then reply! My list would be:
-Weak wifi signal (even when I am in the room right next to it)
-Weak signal for data
-Phone gets randomly hot
These could possibly be software bugs but thought I list them anyways
So far, I've only noticed that when I go with the Material Black theme, Messaging app randomly will go all black save for contact name at the top with no keyboard. Have to close out the app and re-open. Doesn't happen with my current theme (Vanilla) or stock theme. One other user had this issue as well....however this seems to be something in the theme rather than the phone itself.
Has only gotten relatively hot only once when Amazon Photo decided to back up all my sdcard to the cloud (60+GB of pics n vids which had never backed up from my G4 I took it out of). Took over an hour and phone got pretty warm.
Neither are really an issue for me, as I don't use the Material Black theme any longer, and the photos are already uploaded so no more mass uploads.
Overall loving the phone. Last charge went 30+ hours with good amount of calls & music streaming thru Bluetooth and about 3hr screen on time.
I took it off the charger one day and it got really hot. I left it alone and came back to it and it was too hot to hold. I reset the phone and it fixed whatever the problem was. Other than that I've had no issues so far.

That's probably because of the fact you used the quick charger. Since it's rapidly charging the battery, the battery can be warm to the touch.
I also noticed when I send or reply in a group message it says sending even after the group or individual received the mms. Weird.
Samsung Pay doesn't work, I've tried it over 10 different times.
Phone gets really hot.
The service signal fluctuates from full bars of signal with no internet, to 1 bar of signal with 4G internet that's unusable. (This happens in low signal areas).

Download Crystal.
I've a long house and have access points at each end. The phone stubbornly sticks with one (Asus RT-AC66U) regardless of signal strength. The other is an older TP-Link AP, even when I'm almost on top of it I have to manually switch. Any clues on how to get it to pick the strongest signal? It's a small nit, otherwise this is one of the nicest devices I've ever used, I'm coming off a Nexus 6.
Having a problem with notifications while connected to wifi, as in, I get none.
Once I disconnect, my phone is flooded with all the notifications I've missed.
I've tried changing channels in my router, renaming, switching between 2.4/5GHz, etc, but nothing. Problem persists.
Ideas?
Mine keeps dropping connection and losing 4g also my sd unmounts every 20 minutes im getting ready to throw the thing at the wall.

Which brand SD you using? I know that there seems to be some sort of issue with Samsung cards with this device.
Also, is the tray exactly in correctly? I'm not being condescending, but if you're not careful, it can go in slightly cockeyed(noticeable as the "door" to the sdcard/sim tray will not be flush), which can cause it to not make good connection.
Throwing it at the wall will provide 0.25seconds of "Yes! Take that!" followed by "Um....insurance or replacement is expensive as $h*t" LOL
If you DO choose the "throw it at the wall" option, please video tape it so that we can see the "wall impact resistance" of the device

WiFi calling is off, one of the first settings changes I made as I very rarely make voice calls.
Get really warm for me as well and LTE download is about 50% slower than my previous S6 Edge. I didn't used the new sim card that came with the phone so maybe that's the problem.

I'm getting alot of stuttering when surfing the Web on chrome. Alot of lag (5+ seconds) when browsing pictures in the gallery and in other places. It just stops responding for a couple of seconds. It's getting a little irritating.

Did you download an update for Samsung Pay when you first set it up? You might have to do that before it will work. You should have version 1.7.04.

It does not come with ad blocking, you have to install it from the Play Store. Someone else mentioned Crystal, I'm using Adblock Fast.
