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.

Hi
I bought this phone 3 months ago and have been going through 2 major issues which have become a pain in the **s.
1) Most of the times, while making a call the screen freezes and the timer is stuck on 00:00, and the UI stops responding to any inputs, which means i cannot use In-Call features. If there's a need to make another call after the previous one then the phone needs to be locked and unlocked since the UI doesn't respond to anything without lock/unlock trick.
2) This one is more annoying and it's about Wi-Fi.
When I connect my phone to the wifi and leave it idle for say 5-10 minutes (provided there's no data being exchanged between the phone and router) and then try to open a website, it just doesn't open it with any browser and all other applications which require internet access stop working.
I have tried changing routers and even tried keeping my phone next to the router but the problem still remains. STAMINA mode is always disabled and "Keep wifi on during sleep" is set to "Always" and "WiFi optimisation" option is also unchecked. To make it more clear, the wifi icon is still displayed after idle time of 5-10 minutes on the top right corner with the uplink arrow lighted up and the downlink arrow not lighting at all.
Please reply if somebody else has the same problem and has any solution to it.
I am on stock ROM, with the latest official update 15.3.A.1.14, everything as it is.
Faced same issues for a while, after unlocking bootloader, rooting and installing a generic firmware(europe CE), issues are gone. Original firmware was with Vodafone branding and a lot of crapware.
Almost since I got my nexus 5 last year it has been loosing its connection about two times per day. It does this in three different ways.
1. total loss. The little outline of a triangle appears and a notification that I have lost my connection. Clicking the notification opens the manual selection of networks. I select the network and all is fine.
2. full connection with an exclamation mark. solves it self by waiting for a while.
3. full connection with H/3G but when trying to access the internet there is no connection. This one is really weird. The solution here is top open the quick settings, select flight mode, which greys out the connectivity triangle but keeps the H or 3G part white on top of the greyed out triangle that has a slash over it. About a minute later the H or 3G disappears and I can turn off aeroplane mode. This either restores the connection or jumps to problem one.
First I thought its a hardware problem, but since I don't want to part with my phone I never sent it back to google for fixing.
When android 5.1 was released I installed that manually and surprisingly did not have any problems at all after this. But then I went abroad and using the same sim connected to a local network in the country I went to. It took 4 tries to join one of those networks. When I then came home this problem started again.
My thought is that there is some setting that should be there that stayed from my trip. I have tried clearing all caches from the storage in settings and the dalvik cache. No difference. I'm not to keen on re-installing my phone again. So my question is, has this happened to anyone else? Did you solve it? Is there something I can do to remove all previous settings for the network to make it work again? Other suggestions?
This happens to me, at least 4 times a day for me, it has only been doing it since I installed 5.1 on my nexus 5, which was a brand new one from Google since I smashed my screen and they just gave me a new one, I'm in the UK btw, not sure where you are but it does take forever to connect to mobile network when I turn wifi off too.
I constantly lose connection at my house going from E to H+ to LTE throughout the day

I'm in Spain.
For me it happened before 5.1 as well. But 5.1 fixed it temporarily, until I travelled with my phone. Have you had to switch to another network with that phone?
For some reason when manually looking for a network it seems to be running on a timeout function because it takes me 60 seconds to get the list, always. This feels like a very antique solution, they should just populate the list as a network is found like wifi does it.
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.
Hi,
my phone lately shows an high battery drain, random reboots and signal losses.
Aside from supersu and adaway everything is stock. last-kmsg shows "modem_err"
A few days ago I updated my phone from MMB29V to MOB30H, right after this I went on holiday. (left country)
While being there everything worked fine.
But right after I comeback home the phone started to act strange (see title).
Anyone an idea what could cause the behaviour?
Maybe the update? And I didn't noticed it in holiday because of my disabled data connection?
I tried:
a full wipe, reflash of stock image
flash of old radio
looked out for wake locks (there are non)
using phone without apps (only stock)
Might flashing old bootloader/kernel help?
Maybe interesting:
My provider (Klarmobil (T-Mobile DE third-party)) tends to switch my network mode between 3G and HSPA,
from what I heard and see this depends on my data usage. (HSPA while surfing, 3G while idling). I have the "feeling"
it disconnects when it tries to switch.
Thanks for your help!
Edit:
Added another set of logfiles, showing a "signal-loss", it got so far to ask for my pin again.
Sadly errors still keep happening. I tried the march build and also a custom kernel, no change :crying:
Hey there, I have this S7 that would just disconnect from WiFi as soon as the screen goes off. When I try to make VoIP calls as soon as I put the phone to my ear and the screen goes out, the WiFi drops. I also confirmed this by running a continuous ping, soon as screen is off, WiFi drops.
Now this only happens at work. At home all is fine and dandy. At work we have open WiFi APs with guest logon pages. Being on the IT team I did create an SSID that was WPA2 locked to test this, but the problem still persists. I tried 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz, Ijumped through every possible solution I could find in the internet, but nothing seems to work! My old Xiaomi worked just fine, what is it with the Samsungs? anyone got an idea?
I don't think that will solve your problem but as nobody replied you, maybe you could try to see in your Galaxy S7, in parameters, then Connections, then Wifi, then at the top right corner, clic on "advanced", and there you have some parameters for the wifi like the one to put Wifi Off when phone is asleep.
Also, check if you have installed any battery saver app that would interact with your Wifi and turn it off while phone is asleep, or something like a Greenify app that would put asleep the wifi service (if there is one).
In the end, if your problem is only at work and not at home, then I would say the problem comes from your router at work. Something in the settings maybe disconnects devices when they're under certain percentage of use or something like that.
I hope that will help you, or at least help you find other things to look for to identify your problem ; )
