[Nougat] WiFi and cellulair connection issues - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The fact that our Nougat update got a bit late was annoying. The update was released and them feels were amazing..
However, at this point I am about [.....] < that close to throw my phone across the room... every single time I lose not only my WiFi connection but at some times even my cellulair connection...
This has never happend on either Lollipop (5.1.1) or Marshmellow (6.0.1). My phone has never been rooted and is up to date according to the last Samsung updates. I am currently running the latest 7.0 build (NRD90M.G920FXXUE5QE8), Security patch of May 1, 2017.
Some screens to show my issue:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see, the first show no cellulair connection but a working WiFi...
The second shows the other way arround, no WiFi but a working cellulair connection. Both screens are taken tonight a few minutes apart.
I have tried:
- Reboot
- Wipe cache
- Forget and reenter WiFi
- Safe mode to exclude apps (but even in safe mode both connections will fail at some time)
I have performd a factory reset just after the OTA update and I haven't changed anything special within my phone, haven't installed any extra apps.. So I am a bit lost.
Anyone else with this issue?

I have the same issue. Not really sure what to do. I'm thinking of just taking it to the Samsung store and trying to get it replaced.
Did you find any solution?

Sounds like your data keeps bouncing from hspa to LTE and back. Whenever it does that it can be disconnected for more than a minute. Make sure you don't have download booster on and maybe lock connection to one type. Wcdma or gsm. Other than the usual crappy s6 signal it has been worse on mine since nougat aswell.

Not sure if this is exactly your problem, but when downloading/updating an app from the Play Store, the d/l speed is displayed in KB/second. Not Kb/second, but KB/second. Big B means bytes, little b means bits. 8 bits in a byte. Most of the time we see speeds as bits/second, so if you see a big B, remember that it's 8x faster than you realize.

Does it happened to your Mobile Data downloads? Because last time I also encountered such issue, when download via WiFi is super slow, Mobile Data is fast, but just leave it for few days then it returned to normal. Might be Google issues? Not sure though.
Same thing is happening with me. For few apps, it downloads really slow. Already did a modem/router reset, factory reset of phone. But still no luck.
Still got stuck on that speed. Did anyone found a solution yet? It happens only on Wifi

Bluetooth creating constant notifications

So with bluetooth on, I get a constant notification whether a device is connected or not. This is all after the MM upgrade.
Steps already taken:
- Verified reminder is turned off in accessibility.
- Cleared cache.
- Removed all BT devices
- Factory reset.
PLEASE HELP
@jasong127
Try settings > wireless and networks > nearby device scanning > off.
Let me know if this works. It uses BT even when off. I turned mine off long ago. Never had your issue and unsure if this may solve it.

That was already off. I think that when my car (chevy mylink) was connected, there's an option to "Allow Contact" or something like that. Problem is, when the truck is no longer connected, all the other options move to off, except this one.
Happens with one other device too (my home phone system). I have to unpair them and it stops. Pretty much seems like a bug to me.
I will have to test this on my ford transit the next time i use it. I do know it always resets the 911 link, which is annoying.
I'm having the same issues. Just did a factory reset and have not paired any bluetooth devices. But the minute I turn on bluetooth I start getting notifications. Help before I flush my phone.

Did you have items at one time that were paired? The way I found out the solution is to unplug ever BT device in my house and start one by one. BTW, I have 1 home phone, 3 speakers, and a computer that all use BT. Turned out to be the home telephone that was the cause of it.

are note edge edge panel still functional in the 6.0.1 official update?

I've been wanting to update to android 6, but i heard that there are bugs, can someone please tell me the bugs that they have encountered
i have read somewhere that some edge functionalities have been removed, such as phone calls (they are not showing in the edge anymore, night clock, etc.) are there any other edge functionalities that are gone? when updating from Kit Kat to Marshmallow?, or should i update, i want the new Icons, screen off memo, air command ui - that is all i want from the new update (coming from stock kit kat)
thanks
We have a major bug in MM, fingerprint issue, it causes soft reboots. See more: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/help/mm-update-lockscreen-set-to-fingerprint-t3366375
Edge panels will work towards. Phone calls etc still shown on Edge screen.
Incoming phone calls still show on the edge, but the widget for shortcuts to direct dial contacts is no longer there. I use the paid edge panel Quick Contacts as a workaround.
Camera button shifted to main screen in Lollipop and stays there in MM.
Night clock does not show the weather.
Other things are more less the same on the edge.
S pen is much better and the system runs much smoother. Personally, found it a good upgrade except for the two annoyances above.

The fix on the Verizon model is to turn off the three animation settings in developer settings. Turn them all of the way off. Mine (Verizon model) hasn't done the soft reboot since I changed it this morning. It had been doing it CONSTANTLY since way back in July or whenever we went to Marshmallow on the Verizon version.
PLEASE let Samsung Support and your carrier know that this is a problem that THEY need to fix.
It was driving me absolutely crazy.

does the edge auto shuts down on 11 % battery ?
Update. No missing function. Only issue is if you use a fingerprint occasionally the device will software reboot and force you the enter the backup password and give no option for fingerprint. Very annoying but you could just use pin or another lock option.

Can't turn on notifications

I've had the watch for about a week now and notifications have been nothing but problems for me. Everything will work fine and then I'll just stop getting most notifications on my phone. When I go into the gear app on my S8 most of the apps are greyed out and I can't turn them on or off. The only fix I've found is restarting the watch, which really sucks because it turns all the notifications back to their defaults. So 4-5 times a day of restarting the watch and having to change all the notifications I want is getting pretty annoying.

Already running on stock firmware since I need it for s pay. I did a factory reset on both the phone and watch and the problem returned. Guess I'll wait for Oreo and hope it gets fixed.

Extreme battery drain issue with Bluetooth

Hello,
I've had by Z5 since late 2015 and it's been a real trooper. Sadly it has recently (in the last few days) developed an issue where Bluetooth appears to be draining battery like crazy. I've dug around a bit on the internet and found a few people experiencing the problem but none too recently. One post suggested turning on the 'Enable Bluetooth HCI snoop log' and toggling Bluetooth on and off, then checking the log. When I turn that setting on, it creates the 'btsnoop_hci.log' which very rapidly starts filling with junk. In the space of about 20 seconds it took for me to toggle BT on and off and take a copy of the log, it had grown to 700 KB.
Below are some screenshots showing the battery usage of Bluetooth. I have a copy of my btsnoop_hci.log file too but I couldn't find a way to attach it to this thread. If there's some way I can share this, please let me know. If anyone can help me troubleshoot this issue, I would be most grateful. As far as usage / changes that might have cause this problem, I can't think of anything too crazy but here are some points:
I paired my phone with a pair of Taotronics BH22 headphones last week but have since forced my Bluetooth to "forget" this device.
I use my Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones pretty much every day to listen to music since March 2019.
I don't use my phone for anything other than messaging, and music. The apps I have installed do automatic updates sometimes -- I was actually suspecting that an automatic update that went on for one of my apps might be the culprit, but I have no idea how to check this.

I think I've figured out what was causing the problem. It was an update to 'Google Play Services'. The version that recently went on was 16.0.91
I installed the beta version (specifically, 17.1.22 (040400-245988633) beta (040400)) and since then, Bluetooth is behaving.
