[Q] Slow WiFi activation since update to Lollipop 5.0.2 - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
ever since I updated to Lollipop 5.0.2, activating WiFi takes a lot longer than it used to on KitKat. I usually switch off WiFi.
On KitKat, after tapping the WiFi icon it usually took no more than 2-3 seconds for the device to activate WiFi, find my network and get connection.
Now, on Lollipop 5.0.2, it never takes under 8 seconds, often even longer.
How can this be? How can they mess up this apparently simple act and make it so much worse than it was before?
I bought my Moto G in early 2013 (in Germany). It is rooted but I don't think I have done anything special to it. For this last update from KitKat to Lollipo I could not use OTA, though, and the only way to make it work was to install the Brazilian stock ROM (could not find a proper European one). Systemversion says 220.21.28.falcon_umts.Brasi.en.BR
Is the Brazilian ROM the cause of this problem?
Either way: How can I fix this?

I also have that problem.
Getting it connected on University takes like 15 seconds. 8 to turn Wi-Fi on and the rest to actually get connected to it.
Turning of the Wi-Fi is a lot slower than it was before.

Do you also have the Brazilian ROM?

Nope, stock EU 5.0.2 over here.
Too bad I don't know anyone else with the same phone 'cause I would like to check if the problem's on my phone or if it happens with everyone.
It's also kind of a bummer that no one else posts here...

[Q] Moto G Airplane problems on KitKat

Hi, After a recent update to KitKat on my Motorola G (Tesco Mobile) the phone randomly goes into airplane mode has anyone else had this problem? I had guessed that it maybe a problem with an app that may need updating for KitKat support but before I weed out all the apps I thought I would ask here in the hopes someone has had the same problem and has resolved it somehow.
Any help or suggestions would be gratefully recieved.
Thankyou.

Wow, that's strange
Try rebooting the phone turn it off and on
See if that works
2) See your app list, and LOOK at the less unkown apps and remove them first and see
Best of luck

I should have mentioned its running a stock rom, anyway yes I have tried a factory reset as well as a reboot with the same issues, it could be an app but doing a reset should have sorted that out, I seem to remember though that apps reinstalled after reset etc, I will check though and publish any findings thanks Krisshp, in the meantime if anyone else has come across this issue I'd appreciate your thoughts - Thankyou. :fingers-crossed:

Apps aren't able to control Airplane mode directly since Android 4.2.x, so it must be something else.
Probably the SIM is not correctly set.
Take it out and put it back.

Interestingly mine did the same thing a few days ago , but ( touch wood! ) only once!. Picking up the phone, I noticed that there was no network status. Trying to make a call said 'disable airplane mode'. Turning airplane mode on then off fixed it for me.
Is your phone still locked to Tesco ? mine's unlocked and on giffgaff.
moto g aeroplane mode headache
Moto g 8gb on giffgaff
Since turning on daydream and upgrading to KitKat mine has also done the same. Turned off daydream and rebooted phone so far so good about to go on 2 hour journey will let you know my findings. Fingers crossed. How ever I noticed just before upgrading to this phone that the same thing started to happen in my old c905.coincidence? We are all using the o2 network
I have the same airplane mode / loss of service notification on my 8gb moto g on Talkmobile which is on the voda-uk network.
same problem
I've still got the same problem. Will either turn on airplane mode automatically at random points or usually when I try to make a call. has anybody managed to find a solution?
Check that the SIM is well placed. My SIM is faulty factory and sometimes come off easily when I remove the cover.
It's definitely not the sim. I've only had problems since the update. Sim has been taken out, wiped and put back in.
I've done a factory reset using the software and the power off way. If there is a way to put jellybean back on, that might help. Its just a random glitch to have airplane mode turning itself on randomly.
has anyone found a solution to this?
my phone keeps putting itself into airplane mode since the KK update, it's ruining the experience of this phone for me
Well you have two options. 1- Warranty. 2- Root the phone and try whit a Custom Room's and try out until solve the problem(and lose the warranty). I preferred the first one
Just been looking for more info on this. There's some reports on of similar issues on the Nexus with 4.3 ( and maybe 4.4.2 )

im having the same issues on my retail moto g, it's got to be a bug in the kk update as it never happened on jb !
also my sister's tesco moto g is having the same problem
this worked for me
had the same problems when moved from 4.3 UK retail to DE retail.
the issue was fixed when i did a factory reset to my phone.
No problems since.
As i recall the flashall scripts i used to flash stock roms (both UK and DE) do not format /cache and /data partitions.
same problem here and seems to be getting worse,no problems while using wifi but when switching too data it goes into airplane mode,this can happen straight away or go for hours without doing it, really annoying
lots of complaints on the motorola forums and samsungs now so hopefully google are on the case..

my girls phone has this problem, I have the solution.
Just flash the 4.3 respective radio.img so for example go to the moto g radio and kernel page and expand the 4.3 content box and choose the radio for your region whatever that is you will notice only a few are different, then flash it in either twrp or cwm or in fastboot
fastboot flash radio (filename).img
I personally flashed twrp and the flashed the radio.zip whilst in the custom recovery
if anyone needs help with this PM me
MAKE SURE YOU CHOOSE THE CORRECT RADIO I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR BRICKS

[Q]How to Fix Dropped Calls On OnePlus One?

Calls drop often. Usually within the first minute, and then every time when Im calling back after 10sec. The phone itself does not lose signal. Strange thing is, if I'm getting phone call after first/second drop, phone continues connection without problems... But Only when Im receiving a phone call not when Im trying to re-call someone.
- I tried replacing my sim and the issue persists. No problems with other phones using this Sim (even in the same locations).
These are pretty annoying issues. Anybody else experiencing them? Is there a different radio I can try for the phone? Is there any log I can access showing a reason for the call drop, or any trouble shooting I can do? This seems to be independent of WCDMA Only/Preferred/GSM/WCDMA (Auto) settings. Or if, how to change these settings?
Note: This has nothing to do with the network. I've been with the same company (Orange Europe) for about 2.5 years, and have never had this happen before. This has been consistent since I got my OnePlus (about 1 week ago)
That's true. I'm experiencing this as well for quite some time now. At first I joked and said: Hey, the NSA joined our conversation.....again. But after some time it really annoys me. This has nothing to do with the ROM or kernel as I have tried out various combinations. What I found out is that it got better after I returned to stock CM 11s with stock kernel. But it's not gone completly.
Honestly I neither know how to fix it nor what is causing the problem. Try to reflash the CM11S 25R firmware and see if it gets better. I think something is wrong with the modem software since CM11S 22R,25R and CM11 builds are using the same modem software. Maybe the announced update for the end of this month or early next month will fix this. I really hope so because a phone which is not able to hold a call, can't be considered as a real phone.
Oh im pitty You, If You'll get something just please let me know. Any advices or help will be appreciated. Maybe waiting for new CM relase will solve the problem, I do rly like this OS even with so many bugs... there is always an option. Move to stock 4.4 published by OP on official website.
Anyone else facing the same issue? Was there ever a fix for this issue? I'm on 38R and still encountering this issue
Same here.
See this thread for answers and work around. No solution as of yet.

[Q] Data once lost wont re-connect

i am currently using Resurrection Remix 5.0.2 but was using cm12 nightlys before. The problem is that
the data connection is good but once i loose the connection there is an exclamation mark next to the
signal bar so i presume thats the data lost. It then wont connect again untill i reboot the phone.I have tried
switching on and off data but still no joy..This never happened on kitkat. I thought the problem was CM
related hence why i tried the RR rom but exactly the same is happening. Someone sugested that it could be
the sim card but im not so sure as it works fine before lollipop.I surely can't be the only one experiencing
this? but by the same token i can't find any info on it either ..maybe says something!!
Hope someone can help as i want to stay on lollipop i do like it, maybe the official release will sort it out.
Thank you

It's a ROM issue (radio.img). I was facing same problem on earlier builds of BlissPop ROM, but not no issues..
If you are getting exclamation mark in 2 or more ROMs, then there is problem with your sim-card or the network operator.
I suggest you to contact your concerned network operator and take his help for the same. (If you are facing same issue on 2 or more ROMs, try out Stock ROM CM11s)
Thank you for your reply, so would it be possible to flash a modem from kitkat or would there be compatibility issues with that?

did you check your network type and apn settings
So here is the latest update. I replaced the sim card on Saturday, the problem is is still there. I checked me APN settings they are three UK so that's ok. I've tried cm12,resurrection, blispop and now I'm on sabermod. I'm thinking this oneplus doesn't like lollipop, looks like I will have to revert to kitkat for just now until the official release comes out but I can't see that fixing the problem either as I don't seem to see anyone else with this problem.
Thank you for your help folks

I'm also with Three and have lost my data connection. They replaced the sim on Tuesday and I'm sure it worked until the old number swapped to the new sim. I have a 321 simcard on order and I'll try that once it arrives. My phone is still running Kitkat.
I had no problems with kitkat, if it lost the connection it automatically connected again when I was back in an area with a signal. But this has got me beat, a new sim card and too many roms to count but still the same problem. I am a lorry driver and cover the whole of Scotland and signal is patchy at best and it's annoying to find out later on in the day that data was off and you didn't receive any messages or emails.. Some of them important..

I have exactly the same problem.
I'm from Spain.
I've discovered that if i set network type to LTE it seems to work right.
Today I've moved from blisspop to temasek.
The 3g reconnect doesn't work, as always.
I turn data and wifi off when I sleep so tomorrow I will confirm if LTE works also with temasek.
my connection has always been set on LTE but never makes any difference
At the weekend I installed the official OxygenOs, I have been driving all day and had to reboot the phone 4 times because of this problem, I did half wish that when an official release came it would maybe sort out the problem but no joy. So I can only think it's to do with the oneplus. I'm at a loss now and seriously don't want to go back to kitkat but it looks like this will be the only solution to the problem..

I've tested this night again and if I set network to LTE.
The test I've done is.
- Turn off data and wifi before to sleep.
- Turn off only data when I woke up.
The connection was successful almost inmediately.
Greetings. I ran into similar issue with the CM12s update.
Once I lose the mobile signal for whatever reason, the data connection is not restored. Only way to regain it, is by restarting the phone (haven't tested airplane mode). Sometimes even if I leave WiFi on for long time (overnight), I will not have data connection after turning off the WiFi. I use HSPA connection only, not LTE.
I can not recall having this issue on KitKat. Issue was on the first CM12s update and remains on the second one, both were installed clean, so clean install of the ROM will not fix it. I am not using any custom ROMs or kernels, only TWRP recovery.
Has anyone had such issue and maybe found a solution to this?

Did you ever get this sorted? I've been having this issue, luckily I always have Wi-Fi at home/uni but there are times when it just won't find a Data connection. This happened right after the CM12 update :/

Well decided to a bit of searching, if you go into Settings -> Mobile Network Settings -> Network Operators and manually choose the network rather than the Auto Search option, it seems to have worked for me for the time being.
I am on the same boat as OP. The problems started after updating to Lollipop.
If anyone has found a solution, please let me know. I read about someone installing a 44S modem, but I'm unsure if this will permanently change system files (I wouldn't want it to) and I'm therefore hesitant.

Desperate for help

Hey guys!
I have posted before but since then the issue has exacerbated to the point where I'm at my wit's end.
I have the SM-P907A AT&T version of this tablet. I bought it second hand and started experiencing issues almost immediately, although nothing as bad as what I'm going through now.
It began with the odd blue-screen and very rare restart. It quickly escalated when I created multiple profiles (user ids). The restarts would happen entirely randomly but without fail within 10 minutes of operation no matter what I did. Oddly enough, it would NEVER restart when connected to a power supply, though I have drawn very little from that.
Thusly, I factory reset my tablet and hoped that would fix the issue; to no avail. Then I decided to Odin flash the stock ROM. Again no joy. Restarts were persistent and regular when the tablet wasn't connected to a power supply. I then rooted the tablet, installed Titanium Backup Pro and proceeded to freeze all apps/odex-es related to Samsung Knox. As some have posted, doing this helped them out. Not lucky enough, I guess.
My questions:
Did my setting up multiple users somehow mess with the tablet in such a deep and integrated way that even factory resetting, re-flashing stock would not help? Is that even possible? My firmware version is P907AUCU1AND7. I'm going to manually update to Lollipop but if my meddling with the multiple users "broke" something essential, will that help?
No, proppably not

I don't think that using the multi user functionality has anything to do with the issues you are experiencing. I have 3 user on my tablet and using it for a year now. Both on KitKat and Lollipop that I am using now. Both rooted, KitKat with Xposed also. Never had issues with blue screens and reboots.
Issues with US devices have been posted regularly and explanations have been posted. Don't focus on multiuser for the issues you experience.
I' am using the SM-P905 International version (EUR)
PDA: P905XXUABOG1
CSC: P905EURABOG1
Ridiculous
Okay guys. Seriously ridiculous. I downloaded the lollipop ROM but got an error when adb sideloading it because it requires the previous firmware P907AUCU1ANK2 for it to update properly whereas I have the one older than that: P907AUCU1AND7.
Can someone help a brotha out? Post a link from where I can download it?! Maybe share their stock rom file?! Pretty please? I've managed to find only TWO results on google. One is a mobilefileserver result requiring that I Pay $60. The other is a Chinese site requiring that I pay significantly less but in a way which is baffling me at the moment.
Any good guy out there who can help??????

Random restart is the problem of cracked battery connector. Re solder the battery connector will fix it permanently.
Read the thread " Flickering Screen " in Galaxy Note or Tab Pro, you will see they all have similar problem like yours and the fix is simple.
No software or upgrade will fix the hardware problem, regardless Kitkat or Lollipop.

Brand new Device, unable to connect WIFI

Hello.
I have come across an error on my brand new Mate 9, where the wifi simply wont turn on.
Firstly, Yesterday i received the phone and the WIFI was seemingly working ok. Which would suggest it may now have arrived faulty.
But last night, i completed the setup process. Installed my apps as you do. Updated all existing apps and updated to the most recent android version in the update section.
After a while i noticed i was on Mobile Data and not WiFI was odd as i sit 2 meters from my Router.
I attempted to connect to wifi but the option wont even turn on. I have contacted my provided who are willing to have it looked at but i will be without a phone for up to 2 weeks. So im trying to trouble shoot myself.
Below are 2 videos of me trying to turn WiFI on. First one is trying through settings. 2nd one is after a factory reset indicating it may not be a settings issue.
https://youtu.be/Q-VfQrMA-4s
https://youtu.be/g8cpAHd3nBU
Any help would be appreciated.

Update messed up?
Can you apply update again?
Could be the update. Device says its up to date.
Unsure if you can to roll back.
Hi guys, I have the same problem with my mate 9, also I have this problem from 3 months ago, and I not found any solution, it's exist that?
Anyway I have problems also with overheating, battery fast drain, touchscreen.... I really I feel like I pay for a **** my money... Cheers
I have a same trouble, when I got update via OTA on my L29C636. Updated to B181, wifi and bluetooth doesn't work.
I have try to flash the same firmware with dload method, and it can roll back with dload method (I've try to flash B156 firmware)
So I think that we can do is waiting for the next update (maybe on Oreo firmware)
I saw your video. The same happen to me. Please, If you find the way to solve the problem, sahre it!!!!! Good luck.
