I'm having this problem on my tmobile s6 where my phone screen will freeze randomly but it only happens anytime i lose connection to wifi. When the phone unfreezes, it always shows that I now connected to my wifi network. Am i the only one experiencing this. Im on xtrestolite rom (tmo version) , stock kernel
Did you ever find a solution to this?
My Verizon Galaxy s6 started doing this randomly 2 days ago. While looking at the wifi screen, it will toggle itself off and then back on, sometimes as much as every 20 seconds. If i'm in an app the whole phone hangs and becomes unresponsive for 10 seconds or so. Seems fine when it isn't actually connected to wifi.
I haven't updated or added apps recently. I tried a factory reset and it seemed fine, but when I put all my stuff back on the phone it started doing it again.

Well , today when i woke up my wifi just didnt wanted to start. Last night worked fine but today nothing. When i try to start it it starts in 4-5 seconds wich is quiet long time, then it shows that is lookin for wifi signal and in a short time went off. I installed CM 10.1 on it, well here doesnt even want to start the wifi, it showa just Turning on wi-fi. Anyone can help me? i cant even do anything on my phone without wifi.
Flash Stock Rom and see if problem persists.
Hi all. I have a weird issue that after Googling it doesn't seem anyone else has had.
The issue started earlier today, in the morning. I was using my phone on the WiFi and it was working phone, then my phone crashed, restarted itself.
I noticed it wasn't connected to the WiFi, went to the WiFi settings and where it usually says the list of networks it said "Turning on WiFi" and the slider at the top was greyed out so I couldn't turn it off.
I tried airplane mode and that didn't help. But the phone was working fine on my mobile data so restarted.
Now the weirder part starts. I basically have an issue where, if I turn on the WiFi, my phone crashes, or doesn't act like it's turning the WiFi on.
Even going Settings and then pressing on the WiFi option freezes the phone.
The problem started when I was still using 4.4.4 however since the problem developed I've used my mobile data to download the updates and now have 5.1.1 I think.
The problem persists even after updating to the most recent version and doing a factory restore. The phone is currently completely stock with nothing downloaded on to it. All I did is go through the first time setup for the device.
The WiFi currently is off, and the phone is working however it won't connect to my data, it has the signal bars and then an ! instead of a 4G icon.
If I try to turn the WiFi on it crashes the phone.
The phone is still under warranty so I plan on contacting LG on Monday however it's currently 3:34 AM on a Sunday so I have a day until I can call them and was hoping for a solution in that time.
Thanks in advance. I have the phone to hand so anything you want me to test I'm able to.
There is some information I didn't type as I don't know what is important was trying to avoid a wall of text so if you have any more questions I'll answer I best I can.
Thanks for reading, I hope you can help!
So after updating to Marshmallow (PCA, then to PE1, then back to PCA to use the deodexed rom) after a week or so after installation the issue that i wrote out in the title starts occuring. It seems the phone is trying to ping my location every 15 seconds but ive shut off all of the location settings i could find in the settings app and the ones shown in the setup wizard but it still occurs. On LTE or 3G it is fine and battery life isnt dropping out of orbit but only on wifi, when the lte icon usually goes away until i turn off wifi or walk far enough away from any access point im connected to. Has Anyone else experieced this?
Same issue
I've got a Samsung galaxy S5 as well and I've got similar behaviour but I'm my case happens every 8 seconds.
While I'm using my Wi-Fi connection as usual each 8 seconds the LTE or 3G icon appears and half second later disappear again.
I don't understand why and if I can change this behaviour
Regards
have you tried separately flashing a compatible kernel? it sounds like it is caused by the hardware not liking the wifi radio.
Whenever I turn the screen off on my s7, it will automatically disconnect my wifi and after a few minutes, connect back for awhile before disconnecting again. Anyone encountering a similar or the same problem? I made sure the settings for keep wifi on during sleep was set. I tried resetting my network from the "back & restore" place but didnt help.
How I knew was notifications for whatsapp was always always delayed, I tested by sending a message from my spare phone to my s7, my s7 would then only receive the message anytime between 1- 3 minutes, and sometimes the phone will disconnect from wifi immediately after receiving the message.
I noticed this too 2 days ago. I did not updated the firmware pr something else. I thought it was my router. Today i flashed the superman rom 1.7 and i saw that it lost the wifi connection again. I will observe it for the next few days. I havent had this problem before. Weird...
My Gear S2 has recently started disconnecting, then reconnecting a few seconds later. The S2 and my phone both vibrate - when I check my mssages, nothing new but the phone says disconnected. I have a stock (non-rooted) Verizon S7 Edge.
Here's what I've done so far:
1. Powered both off and back on - didn't work
2. Reset the watch and app - didn't help
3. Disconnected the watch from my phone and connected it to my son's S7 (verizon) - HAD NO DISCONNECTS
4. Did a factory reset on both the phone and the watch and reinstalled to my S7 edge....disconnects resumed.
My next logical assumption would be since it happens on mine but not his phone, it must be my phone. But it never disconnects from my Ford Sync or my BT radio.
Anyone had this issue - or better yet, figured out this issue?
No one else has this issue?
I am in the Nougat beta for s7 and have had this happen frequently. They have said to wait for the final update and see if it's fixed then. It did not happen as often to me as you are describing
Same here, but I suspect more my S7E to be the issue since it happened also with my Pebble Time.
(also posted in another thread on disconnects) After working with three different S7's (2 edge's and one regular) as well as a Droid Maxx, I found that the phones would regularly disconnect when I had High Accuracy GPS set to on (with disconnects occurring multiple times per hour). If I switched the phones to power-saving GPS, disconnects would never occur.
Not sure why this would be but I don't recall it happening before the latest S2 update. I have always used High Accuracy GPS because I use the Tile app which requires it....HOWEVER, the disconnects were SO irritating, I guess I'd rather lose my keys and/or wallet because I turned the GPS to power saving to eliminate the disconnects because it was SOOOOO annoying.
