I have a problem which happens 4-5 times per day requiring me to restart the phone. I use the phone to browse the internet on my phone, I'm browsing then suddenly the web pages become unresponsive and a yellow caution sing shows o n the HTC Portable Hotspot icon in the task bar.
I look at my phone and its showing "H" with the upload arrow showing white with the download arrow grey. Its very annoying, does this happen to anyone else?
Cheers
Never happened to me.
Maybe it is something to do with leedroid rom.. ?
happens to me a bit, usually i disconnect the network in quick settings or airplane mode, turn it back on and that works but a proper fix would be nice
Happens to me too.
I also had the same thing on my Desire so not just specific to this phone/ROM.
I always put it down to a general network problem and that it just gets "stuck"

When i press the home button, the screen stays black for like 10 sec, and then shows me the lockscreen. Also when i make a call, the screen turns black and i only see my signal strenght, battery and wifi indicators. So i cant hang up after i'm done with the conversation, when people call me, i can answer, but i also cant disconnect. Sometimes the force close popup of the process com.android.phone comes up. This is very annoying, does anyone recognize this problem and know's what i can do?
I reinstalled DarKy's rom, I don't think it's a software problem.
something you might want to try to solve the phone problem is downloading a different phone app from the market and setting it as your default phone app. for example "dialer2" fpund in the market might work just fine for you
I'm experiencing an issue which I can replicate everytime. Upon bootup, I get 3G/4G and data works great. I turn on wifi, use it for about 30 mins, and then turn it off as I'm leaving the venue. While I do have 4G in the notification bar and data arrows are working, I get no data. Browser keeps spinning, maps keeps spinning, but no dice.
Rebooting fixes it, but then the cycle starts all over again. I'll try to restore my phone back to factory settings, but in the meantime, is anyone else seeing this? Also, not sure whether it's worthy to note, while wifi is on, I have the 4G up in the menu time most of the time.
edit: Alright, well looks like resetting the phone did the trick. Moderator, you can close this thread. Thanks!
My Optimus 3D has suddenly developed some serious problems and I have no idea what is going on.
First indication was Power Off refused to work, it would blank the screen but the backlight and capacitive button light would remain on forever. So I have had to force off by holding the power button.
After doing this a few times its now taking AGES to finish bootup and most of the widgets are working sporadically. One minute they will be working, the next they won't and might respond to a touch half an hour later. Yet, a few of them still work fine. I have tested using LG Home as well as Launcher Pro, the same problem occurs on both.
Worst problem of all though is typing has stopped working. First time it did it I simply rebooted and it worked again, but its stopped functioning again and rebooting every day is unacceptable when it was fine before.
Basically any text input form I press, the keyboard pops up and I start typing, but the text doesn't go into the text input field. This is with any keyboard selected.
This is really frustrating as prior to these problems I was really loving this phone and hardly ever had to reboot it.
It seems it all started after something caused the phone to reboot itself in the night (the bootup jingle woke me but I was too tired to check) and then I think it locked up during the reboot as battery monitor widget shows no log entries after the reboot, just the battery suddenly at 100% again as I charged it before powering it back up the next day.
I would prefer to know how to fix it in case it happens again but if I am forced to restore to factory settings, any advise for what and how to backup what is on there so I have minimal work to get it back to this state (hopefully without the glitches)?
I have had both internal and external SD mounted over Mass Storage and done an error check from Windows on them which found no errors, as I suspected it was corruption on internal SD but clearly not.
The weird thing is, other than the above the phone works fine - but its fairly useless when I can't type on it and I am concerned the widgets hanging is degrading the battery life.
Flash a clean stock rom and see if it fixes it

I actually figured out what is wrong and its bizarre. It was my router!
Basically I upgraded DD-WRT to the latest version (which has since been taken offline so obviously buggy) and it caused all the above symptoms. The instant I disconnected from WiFi all events which were meant to happen suddenly happened all at the same time, then everything was back to normal. Connect to WiFi and it hangs again.
I have no idea how a bug on my router can cause such a wide variety of problems but there you go. Downgraded the router back to the previous firmware and all is well again.
I briefly had the "no text input" error happening after i removed some bloatware with root explorer. It was really starting to irritate me but when i turned the phone on it's side it worked again and has never stuffed up since!
Just thought I'd share my experience.

Well unfortunately I was wrong, problem started again today and I even tested at a friends house. Basically, when connected to WiFi my phone goes AWOL with widgets hanging and text input randomly stopping working.
Earlier to search marketplace I had to disconnect from WiFi, type the search string, reconnect, purchase, disconnect (it refused to download) and use HSDPA instead. This is really frustrating as I'm about to get 40Mbit broadband which is going to suck being forced to use T-Slowbiles pathetic 1Mbit HSDPA to download instead. Perhaps not the end of the world, but its really really weird.

What does the wifi icon look like when you're not able to connect?
I've had intermittent issues where my tab will drop off my home wifi. The icon in the corner is (best I can describe it) entirely gray with no 'pie pieces'. If it happens again, maybe I can screenshot it. This usually occurred after waking up the tablet (e.g. never while using the tab).
The weird thing is that, during this time, I'm able to use wifi analyzer and see the signal strength and it looks normal. If I disable and re-enable wifi, it sometimes comes back for a short time, other times it goes back to no signal immediately. If I go into the wifi settings and select my home wifi then select connect, I'll usually see a brief error pop up regarding 'could not connect'. Again, maybe I can grab a screenshot the next time it happens. I've had this issue with the BAKED Blackbeans and with CM10 ROMs, and rebooting has usually fixed the issue.
Long story short, I no longer use any wifi controls when the tab is asleep. The BAKED ROM has some controls in its settings, and I was also using the GO TaskManager which also has controls for wifi in sleep mode. Since then, the issue hasn't reoccurred.
Good luck.

Hi folks,
There are two issues with WiFi on my Nexus 5. The first, which was happening before I upgraded to Lollipop, is that my phone no longer remembers WiFi passwords and I have to re-insert them every time. I've searched around for this and been told that it's because Android only remembers a certain number of passwords so I've tried forgetting quite a few old WiFi access points but to no avail. Any ideas on this issue?
The second issue has only started occurring since I upgraded to Lollipop and is driving me nuts. Basically I can only very rarely access the WiFi menu in settings now, making it near impossible to connect to new access points. Pulling down the notification shade and tapping the wifi icon just seems to turn it on and off rather than taking me to the WiFi area in settings - is that right? And then if I go into settings and tap on WiFi the screen goes blank and I get a force close message. Very occasionally or after re-starting settings a few times it will work.
Any thoughts on either issue would be much appreciated. I've read the thread on WiFi not turning on but don't think that's the issue and as I say the latter issue has only occurred since the Lollipop upgrade.
Thanks
Alex
With the quick settings, you have to tap the network name to go into the wifi options. The wifi pie slice thing turns it on the off.
Sounds like you could use a factory reset to fix your other problems.

I haven't ever encountered #1, so I can't help with that. However, with #2- touching the icon will turn wifi (or bluetooth, etc) on and off. If you touch below the line (where it says wifi, bluetooth, etc) it will open the settings menu. It matters where you tap.

Thanks for the replies chaps - I hadn't realised that tapping on different bits did different things. Regardless of whether I go in through the settings 'cog' or by tapping on the word 'WiFi' under the pulldown shade though the next screen is still blank and I get a force close message. In fact today one of the times I tried it the phone just froze on a white screen and only holding down the power button for ten seconds allowed me to turn it off and use it again. Anyone had any similar issues?
I'm having the same issues as you (both of them), and I'm also looking for the solution to it. For the first one, I'm trying to disable backup and renabling them. Read online that sometimes there's something wrong with the sync. Not sure if it solved the problem but will try.
For the second one, the problem is because it takes a very long time for the phone to search for wifi hotspots. So if you turn on wifi (ie clicking on the big button) and wait for about 2 minutes for it to search, wifi will work find. However, the 2 minutes is a long painful wait.... Im not sure what is the reason for the wait though, my nvidia shield tablet has no such issues.
Anybody has any solutions?

Both of these issues sound like you need a factory reset

I tried to do a factory reset yesterday. Took me a really long time but failed. So i ended up having to sideload the 5.01 factory firmware, which formated my entire phone.
In any case, it did not work. It still takes me a very long time 'turning wifi on...'
Any other suggestions?
