Hi all,
Just got a new Flex 2 F510L (Korean version). It came with Android 5.0.1 (I think, could have been 5.1.1) and phone setup fine (using cellular!).
Updated it to marshmallow and all went well. BUT when I try to connect to wifi, it shows me the SSIDs and I put in the key etc. I have to switch off back on the wifi to get it to connect, then it starts to cycle the wifi on and off - If I am in settings the "wifi on/off" switch actually goes off and back on every 15-30 seconds.
I do get a "small" amount of data through when it is on but it then switches off again.
I have tried other firmwares (H959 one both Lollipop and marshmallow) and same issue on all.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
W.

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.
Hi.
I only have one wifi network around atm. My N5 was working fine with it, and yesterday it started disconnecting from it.
Right now, when I try to connect, it connects for 3 or 4 seconds (it gets an IP address and actually connects to the Internet) before jumping back to data connection. When entering the Wireless menu on my phone it says "WiFi Connection Failure".
I thought I might have tweaked something I shouldn't (since also yesterday I installed Franco kernel and App Ops), so I went back to stock (using the Nexus Toolkit) and in the process I updated to the newest 5.1 release (I had LMY47D version and upgraded to LMY47I).
It didn't help. I also tried changing the router channel and security type to no avail.
Of course, I also tried to turn airplane mode on/off and forgetting network. And I just downgraded to LMY47D to see if that was the problem. But it didn't fix it.
I'm attaching the logcat. I hope I did it properly.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
UPDATE: I noticed it works in Safe Mode. I'll try to find which app is causing it.
I'm having exactly the same problem.
Updated to 5.1, after a run with Nike+ and Runkeeper, with GPS and Cellular Data on, battery drained and phone switched off. After a recharge, this problem emerged, different ROMs, different stock versions, different kernels. Nothing seems to make wi-fi work again.
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 all, two weeks ago bought a Nexus 5. Came with Android 5.0.1. Well out of the box I have no WiFi access. I saw no WiFi, while my laptop saw it. I was on a business trip in a hotel in Miami. Suddenly walking through the corridors of the hotel, detect a few WiFi AP but I could not connect. Back home, I put 3G data and immediately I get the OTA to Android 5.1.0. From there, the WiFi worked and I could connect to my account and download applications. Moments later, came a new OTA to Android 5.1.1 moment in which everything stopped working.
Using Nexus Root Toolkit I have tried all official image, place the router on 2.4, low channels, clean cache and what all Forum recommends. Finally try to put the phone in the freezer. Leave it for ten minutes. When I power on, I went back to see all networks and connect to my WiFi for 15 minutes approximately. Once the phone returned to temperature environment, the WiFi disappeared and I went back to the same situation. If I put it in the frezer it works, until it takes ambient temperature.
I can turn on or off the WiFi, but I do not see anything, I can see the MAC Address, when turn on the wifi the button turns blue, everything its works fine but without any success. Currently the phone has Android 5.1 image LMY47I and the M8974A-2.0.50.1.16 RADIO (did a downgrade thinking that could improve something). Currently I have OTA to migrate to 5.1.1. I dont know if I will give a try to this upgrade.
I would like to know if there is any way that the phone does not validate the temperature or something similar because when he leaves the refrigerator "cold", everything works for a few minutes until it returns to a temperature environment.
Any thoughts?
Freezer.. Interesting
Yeah can't say I've heard that one before ...

I'm trying to repurpose this old phone (LG Optimus L4 II E440) for internet radio and I am almost there. I reset it and even reflahed its stock ROM to solve some odd errors. I installed manually Radiodroid (play store says No network so I downloaded apk on PC and transferred with USB) and it works great except for these problems:
When the screen goes to sleep it pauses the wifi connection so the radio stops. I searched this issue and appears to be an unfixable Android 4.1.2 bug.
To work around this I set the screen to be always on and 0% brightness, that works fine until the phone is turned off. On restart these settings revert back to 2 minutes / 100%. I can see that the brightness remains on reboot (low brighness) until the desktop shows up, then after 10 seconds it reverts to full brightness, as if there was some process reverting these settings. Other settings do not revert, for example the lock screen disabled.
I do not understand this problem, I remember when I used this phone that the screen settings were persistent.
Any idea what to do? I would not care the screen going off if it would not sleep the wifi. A solution to one of these issues would fix the problem. Thank you!
Fixed!
I was using it without SIM card (for internet radio I only need wifi) and apparently that was the cause. I inserted an inactive SIM card and upon power on it changed something and now it is keeping the screen settings, finally!! After that I removed the SIM and the setting holds.
I also found out that running the "LG bluetooth remote 4-1.3" app to control a LG CM2440 hifi system, as long as it remains connected to the hifi system over bluetooth, the wifi connection does not drop when the screen is locked.
