Hey guys,
Somehow my phone is stuck forever in airplane mode. I have tried flashing multiple ROMS, going back to fully stock, even with a locked bootloader or without custom recovery. But somehow the problem still stays. I seriously don't know how this even started.. I knew for sure it was the airplane mode's fault when I wanted to call some kind of number for the radio settings, but I got a message saying I had to turn airplane mode off.
But, it is not even turned on anyway. Now what? Help is appreciated guys!!
Edit3: When pressing on the power key, when you get the small menu it shows me that (while no simcard in) airplane mode is constantly turning on and off, I also get a constant repeating/flickering notification in my status bar.
I also tried using my sister her simcard, but it gives the same result. But, my simcard works in her phone. I was able to use 3g etc.
I have exactly the same issue. It appeared today after being away for a few days and having my phone on airplane mode + Wifi the entire time. I have tried flashing back to stock w/full wipe and reflashing radio. In *#*#4636#*#* menu I see that radio is "off". See screenshot attached.

Hey Guys, I'd Like to ask a question , very weird going on about my device... Only one time I got that Lovely Icon (exclamation mark) with a phone sign followed by a computer, yes that means that i am in download mode, i fixed it but once i got passed that small error my phone has been acting up.. I've tried CM10 keeps restarting by itself once in a while, I had tried going COMPLETELY going to stuck by using a Youtube video on how to unbrick it... NO luck. This time it freezes up and all applications become unresponsive, Facebook FORCECLOSE and other apps& and restarts, once is in the home screen i hold the power button and i only get one option "POWER OFF" its very weird because I remeber there was "DATA IS SET "ON" ETC, other settings in the phone had been re-enabled for ex. haptic feedback vibration. i had that turned off and it came back on by itself, second setting is the lock screen i cant set up a lock setting because once i press the unlock button and wait about 5 seconds it would go directly to the home screen W/O asking to enter to any patter. I tried gingerbread 2.3.6, with this rom all apps are UNAVAILABLE.. YES they dont open up.. EVEN facebok.. I took out the battery, turned it back on, and once it gets to the "rethink possible" keeps restarting the att motion until it finally restarts the whole phone and it keeps doing this.. I wanted to ask you guys if my phone is bricked or something because is really annoying. Thanks !
A brick would be where you wouldn't be able to boot up. A virus would be wiped out when flashing a new rom. When installing a new rom, did you also format /system? Sometimes that irons out some bugs. Maybe doing a wipe on your dalvik and cache seperatly could help.

Yea, once i last flashed CM10 yeah i did and the problem persits... Right Now im in stock FROYO 2.2 with no luck... I had to switch to my old Mytouch 3G Slide until i fix this issue...
So recently I came across that hidden menu *#*#4636#*#*, I used nova launcher shortcut activities to get there though as the XT1045 did nothing while entering the code mentioned.
So it was all great as forcing 3g was a big requirement for me, worked for a 1-2 weeks just fine, I even shut off the phone at nights and had no issues in the morning.
Recently though i switch on the phone and the power button menu shows that the flight mode is off and checking the hidden menu has the option of "turn radio on" meaning it's off? Turn radio on doesn't work but the power button airplane mode does work once and then the option is greyed out. Usually doing this and a restart would get things working but since yesterday and a gazillion restarts it's not working. The flight mode option on the quick settings works fine both ways but doesn't actually affect the phoen, just indicated flight mode on or off.
The only thing i had done was at the very beginning i tapped the turn radio off / on to check out the settings, so i don't know if that affected it somehow, but that was like 2 weeks ago and it's been fine since then until yesterday
I have looked in the forums and have not tried reflashing the radios yet but any other options have failed, I was hoping this can be done without flashing anything.
Help!
Also worth noting, im completely on stock, no root and basically didn't amend anything for it to behave like this, I've also tried another SIM and it's the same issue. It's an unlocked phone sold directly by Amazon.
Maybe a way to reset this setting? or something?
Somebody? please.
Also do you guys think the lollipop update would update to a new modem baseband?
I was having some problems with adaptative battery turning on by itself so i talk with the support and they give me a trick that actually fixed the problem. They said that it can fix also another problems so i will explain here, in the worst case is just a waste of time.
Turn the phone off and connect to the charger.
Enter recovery:
-Hold power + Vol Up until the phone turn on and then release power but not volume.
-You will see and ****ed up android. Hold power and press vol up for 3 seconds and release volume up.
With this you will be in the recovery. With the vol keys go to "Perform a Graphic Test" and press power to execute. It is kinda weird but it doesn't perform a graphic test, it just reinstall a update or something
So if you are experiencing some weird behavior you can try this and see if it solve it.
I've done it, but the Wifi issue comes back aber 1-2 days
or immediatelly if you perform some FlyMode ENABLE/DISABLE
I made a video of the mobile after the refrresh and after the issue comes back
Paired with 2 other smartphones
You can notice when the issue is "active" the mobile just see 1-3 WiFis SSID (normally they're 10 or more)
And it even reports a wrong signal strenght
Plus it fails to connect to the Paired Wifi several times (eventaully always)
Resetting the Android networking system doen not work
Usually a soft clean helps (reboot with VolUP + power and wait for AndroidONE screen to appear twice (I guess they're actually 2 consecuve reboots)
Lol Support sold you a lemon. The "graphics test" is literally just playing the animations the recovery should when installing an update. It's not doing a damn thing. I think the reboot just helped you out.
I had the wifi issue and it worked for me. Now wifi connects after enable / disable flymode without rebooting the device.
thanks

They didn't sold my a lemon because i did it and it actually solve the problem. Before i tried everything, including reset, hard reset, deleting all the battery system app cache and data, disabling them, enabling them again, nothing worked and adaptative battery kept turning itself on. I had the problem for months. I asked the guy how permorming a graphic test is related to some bug in adaptative battery and he said he doesn't know and Ingenineer team said that to him, it seems that it is not only a graphic test, maybe Nokia touch something there. The thing is it solved my problem, that is why i shared it here just in case.

I think you should wait just 1-2 days before saying it. I hope it really worked cause I have the same wifi issue.

This morning, after the night in flightmode, wifi doesn't connect without a reboot. But now, just the same as yesterday, i can switch flightmode on / off and wifi connects normally. So maybe it depends on the time the flightmode is enabled?

I dont know mate..I usually switch to airplane mode during the night when I go to sleep cause I dont want to loose battery during the night..we can try not to activate it but I hope we will have a fix in January.
I experienced this problem after installing the January Security Patch on my Nokia 7 Plus. My router is a Huawei and my network SSID is hidden. I tried a few things:
* Reset network settings
* Restarted in Safe Mode - added network and could connect (note, it's a hidden network so I selected that option in Advanced Settings)
* Rebooted into normal operation, would not connect
* Modified my router's settings so the network was no longer hiding its SSID.........phone connected!! Seems stable so far.
Can anyone confirm any similarities with the above and if the steps work for you?
I have two Nokia 7+ phones, one works fine on Wifi the other refused to connect.
I did the graphics test as above and it now connects without any issues.
I will wait and see how long this 'fix' lasts for.
Fingers crossed.
I tried to enter that special mode (recovery) but it just boots into the system! I have had many phones and got into their recoveries quite easily. However seems like I misunderstood the instructions here? Can someone explain me more in detail how to perform the graphic test?

adb reboot recovery
Or
When poweron/reboot hold PowerBtn+VolUp until you see "no command" with green Android logo
In both method is switch from "no command" to menu by pressing PowerBtn+VolUp

Eventually I did the "graphic test" which indeed performs just the animation as another user was saying, because WiFi issue has not improved.
What I was doing wrong when trying to access the recovery was simply not connecting the phone to a power source prior to pressing vol up and power.
Just picked a 7 plus a week back & loving the phone so far. Given it had 8.1 out of the box I went through the day 1 upgrades and had a few of these problems. Being a new phone, a factory reset post upgrade was no big deal (I keep everything backed up so it's rarely a big deal) and my wifi problems went away with it. I've found this with Android upgrades in the past. Hard for the Devs to treat every upgrade permutation given apps and time, but easy to test the clean slate, so more likely to be stable that way.

This sounds like a very specific problem I have, however I can't describe it with any other words. Usually, I turn on airplane mode before I go to bed. Almost every morning, when I deactivate airplane mode, the phone freezes completely and I have to do a hard reboot with long pressing the power button.
I am running Android 11 with the latest update. The problem, however, started with the first Android 11 update. There were no such weird problems happening on Anroid 10. I even did a clean flash of the system rom, which did not fix the problem. When I wiped the internal storage as well, it worked for about two days, but now I am back to the freezing.
I still have warranty on the phone and thinking about RMAing it, because I can't find any other person having this problem.
The weird thing is that the freezing does not happen, when airplane mode is only turned on for a short time. Like, right now, I could turn it on and off without a problem. You see, I am a bit lost and don't know what to do!
And maybe something to add: When I turn off airplane mode in the morning, I am able to receive messages for a split second before it freezes completely. When I do a reboot, these messages are just gone. So, they are not getting saved properly I guess ... Really annoying.
What happens if you turn airplane mode on, use another phone to send a few messages to yours then turn off airplane mode?

It works like normal. It annoys me that I can't really reproduce this issue right now, but I believe it has something to do with the reconnection to the mobile network. Maybe it could even be a mobile provider related problem? But that is just a wild guess ...

Press power then keep pressing on "restart" and activate safe mode. Check if the problem persists for a week in safe mode. If it doesn't then an app you're using is probably the origin of the problem.

Thank you, I am going to try this then.
EDIT:
Seems like the Battery Charge Limiter app from the play store was causing the problem. It worked well with Android 10, but not so well on Android 11.
I got a the phone recently and it's got this weird problem that I couldn't find mentioned anywhere.
Sometimes Bluetooth just randomly won't turn on, I tap the Quick Settings icon and it does nothing, if I go to settings it appears to turn on but if I pull down the Quick Settings or go back and into Bluetooth again it shows that it's off.
All of this goes away after a reboot, Bluetooth turns on and the phone connects to devices without issues, it also doesn't drop the connection but if I leave it off for a while, when I try to turn it back on again it sometimes just won't turn on again until I reboot.
Do any of your devices have a similar issue?

Try clearing the system cache.
Try resetting network connections.
Turn off all power management.
If you've done a major firmware update it's factory reset time...
No power saving mode is enabled and the A52 just launched with Android 11 and One UI 3.1, there's no major update to do.
I just wiped cache, while I was in the recovery I repaired apps just in case and I reset network settings for both SIMs, we'll see if that works, thanks!
UPDATE:Yes, it appears this fixed the issue. I have been able to enable Bluetooth without issues since I cleared cache even after days of it being off.
