Phone freezes completely after disabling airplane mode in the morning - Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers

Phone: Pixel 3a
This sounds like a very specific problem I have, however I can't describe it with any other words. Usually, I turn on airplane mode before I go to bed. Almost every morning, when I deactivate airplane mode, the phone freezes completely and I have to do a hard reboot with long pressing the power button.
I am running Android 11 with the latest update. The problem, however, started with the first Android 11 update. There were no such weird problems happening on Anroid 10. I even did a clean flash of the system rom, which did not fix the problem. When I wiped the internal storage as well, it worked for about two days, but now I am back to the freezing.
I still have warranty on the phone and thinking about RMAing it, because I can't find any other person having this problem.
The weird thing is that the freezing does not happen, when airplane mode is only turned on for a short time. Like, right now, I could turn it on and off without a problem. You see, I am a bit lost and don't know what to do!
And maybe something to add: When I turn off airplane mode in the morning, I am able to receive messages for a split second before it freezes completely. When I do a reboot, these messages are just gone. So, they are not getting saved properly I guess ... Really annoying.

What happens if you turn airplane mode on, use another phone to send a few messages to yours then turn off airplane mode?

It works like normal. It annoys me that I can't really reproduce this issue right now, but I believe it has something to do with the reconnection to the mobile network. Maybe it could even be a mobile provider related problem? But that is just a wild guess ...

Press power then keep pressing on "restart" and activate safe mode. Check if the problem persists for a week in safe mode. If it doesn't then an app you're using is probably the origin of the problem.

Thank you, I am going to try this then.
EDIT:
Seems like the Battery Charge Limiter app from the play store was causing the problem. It worked well with Android 10, but not so well on Android 11.

wifi makes the keyboard dead temporarily

i've been tested wifi on several roms. whichever rom i choose, the problem remains.
as long as wifi is on, after waking my touch pro after the phone suspends, i find the keyboard unable to function. i have to switch off wifi to make the keyboard work again. sometimes i even have to restart the phone.
does this often happen to you guys?
This is a problem I have as well. I got rid of it by running the wifi card in battery save mode. When it's running in high power mode, this keyboard problem happens to me. I think it's because the wifi card takes up extra processor interrupt cycles.
Yep, it has happened to me too a couple of times and I have the wifi in high-power mode. Will try energysavning.
will try power-saving mode too.

i get that all the time when I suspend my phone with the keyboard open (with wifi off). If I suspend and unsuspend my phone and open the keyboard a couple times it starts working again.

Problem with Airplane Mode

I found a problem with the Airplane Mode:
I put my device on Airplane Mode before goint to bed, with the battery at ~70%. I woke up today and the battery was at 0%, completely drained in less than 10 hrs. It turns out that when I lock my device after turning on Airplane Mode the device froze, and for some reason it keep consuming energy.
I could replicate the bug 3 times already. To do so:
Reboot the device.
Connect it to something via USB (somehow this has something to do). Wait for a minute and disconnect it.
I'm being cautious here and I'm waiting two minutes before next step (I don't know if it's really necessary).
From the Quick Settings on the Notification Menu turn Airplane Mode on. And wait a few seconds.
Lock the device and don't touch it for 2 minutes.
Profit... I mean... Tada!! It's frozen now. You have to reboot it.
I'm gonna keep investigating and searching about this.
If anybody could tell me if you can reproduce this error or give me some advice I would appreciate it.
(The device is a XT1032, with stock ROM 4.4.2 (173.44.x))

Nopes Can't reproduce.. A question though.. what lock times have you set.. the error might not have been reproduced due to that

Nexus 5 Keeps restarting

Hey guys,
I've found others complaining about the same issues but no resolutions. My phone constantly restarts itself after updating to 5.0
Attached is a video of my phone constantly looping: never mind I can't attach the link because i'm a new user. If you search nexus 5 keeps restarting on youtube you'll see it
Someone posted a trick where if you constantly tap the power button it'll turn on. It works for me, but it only delays the restarts, as soon I stop it turns off. I seriously need some help this is getting out of control. I've tried booting it in safe mode and no luck either, it still restarts itself. I've restored the phone as well, no luck. Hoping for a magic trick or something.

How did you solve this problem ? i have the same problem.
Sounds like the power button is stuck. It is not a software issue.
I had the exact problem yesterday. I fixed it by pressing the power button a bit harder than normal (you may have to disassemble the device as I did), and the button works normally again.

SIMCARD: No cellular and call connection

Hey guys,
Somehow my phone is stuck forever in airplane mode. I have tried flashing multiple ROMS, going back to fully stock, even with a locked bootloader or without custom recovery. But somehow the problem still stays. I seriously don't know how this even started.. I knew for sure it was the airplane mode's fault when I wanted to call some kind of number for the radio settings, but I got a message saying I had to turn airplane mode off.
But, it is not even turned on anyway. Now what? Help is appreciated guys!!
Edit3: When pressing on the power key, when you get the small menu it shows me that (while no simcard in) airplane mode is constantly turning on and off, I also get a constant repeating/flickering notification in my status bar.
I also tried using my sister her simcard, but it gives the same result. But, my simcard works in her phone. I was able to use 3g etc.
I have exactly the same issue. It appeared today after being away for a few days and having my phone on airplane mode + Wifi the entire time. I have tried flashing back to stock w/full wipe and reflashing radio. In *#*#4636#*#* menu I see that radio is "off". See screenshot attached.

hello friend plz help.....i have the exact same issue...wat did u do

How to fix some Android Pie problems.

I was having some problems with adaptative battery turning on by itself so i talk with the support and they give me a trick that actually fixed the problem. They said that it can fix also another problems so i will explain here, in the worst case is just a waste of time.
Turn the phone off and connect to the charger.
Enter recovery:
-Hold power + Vol Up until the phone turn on and then release power but not volume.
-You will see and ****ed up android. Hold power and press vol up for 3 seconds and release volume up.
With this you will be in the recovery. With the vol keys go to "Perform a Graphic Test" and press power to execute. It is kinda weird but it doesn't perform a graphic test, it just reinstall a update or something
So if you are experiencing some weird behavior you can try this and see if it solve it.
I've done it, but the Wifi issue comes back aber 1-2 days
or immediatelly if you perform some FlyMode ENABLE/DISABLE
I made a video of the mobile after the refrresh and after the issue comes back
Paired with 2 other smartphones
You can notice when the issue is "active" the mobile just see 1-3 WiFis SSID (normally they're 10 or more)
And it even reports a wrong signal strenght
Plus it fails to connect to the Paired Wifi several times (eventaully always)
Resetting the Android networking system doen not work
Usually a soft clean helps (reboot with VolUP + power and wait for AndroidONE screen to appear twice (I guess they're actually 2 consecuve reboots)
Lol Support sold you a lemon. The "graphics test" is literally just playing the animations the recovery should when installing an update. It's not doing a damn thing. I think the reboot just helped you out.
I had the wifi issue and it worked for me. Now wifi connects after enable / disable flymode without rebooting the device.
thanks

They didn't sold my a lemon because i did it and it actually solve the problem. Before i tried everything, including reset, hard reset, deleting all the battery system app cache and data, disabling them, enabling them again, nothing worked and adaptative battery kept turning itself on. I had the problem for months. I asked the guy how permorming a graphic test is related to some bug in adaptative battery and he said he doesn't know and Ingenineer team said that to him, it seems that it is not only a graphic test, maybe Nokia touch something there. The thing is it solved my problem, that is why i shared it here just in case.

I think you should wait just 1-2 days before saying it. I hope it really worked cause I have the same wifi issue.

This morning, after the night in flightmode, wifi doesn't connect without a reboot. But now, just the same as yesterday, i can switch flightmode on / off and wifi connects normally. So maybe it depends on the time the flightmode is enabled?

I dont know mate..I usually switch to airplane mode during the night when I go to sleep cause I dont want to loose battery during the night..we can try not to activate it but I hope we will have a fix in January.
I experienced this problem after installing the January Security Patch on my Nokia 7 Plus. My router is a Huawei and my network SSID is hidden. I tried a few things:
* Reset network settings
* Restarted in Safe Mode - added network and could connect (note, it's a hidden network so I selected that option in Advanced Settings)
* Rebooted into normal operation, would not connect
* Modified my router's settings so the network was no longer hiding its SSID.........phone connected!! Seems stable so far.
Can anyone confirm any similarities with the above and if the steps work for you?
I have two Nokia 7+ phones, one works fine on Wifi the other refused to connect.
I did the graphics test as above and it now connects without any issues.
I will wait and see how long this 'fix' lasts for.
Fingers crossed.
I tried to enter that special mode (recovery) but it just boots into the system! I have had many phones and got into their recoveries quite easily. However seems like I misunderstood the instructions here? Can someone explain me more in detail how to perform the graphic test?

adb reboot recovery
Or
When poweron/reboot hold PowerBtn+VolUp until you see "no command" with green Android logo
In both method is switch from "no command" to menu by pressing PowerBtn+VolUp

Eventually I did the "graphic test" which indeed performs just the animation as another user was saying, because WiFi issue has not improved.
What I was doing wrong when trying to access the recovery was simply not connecting the phone to a power source prior to pressing vol up and power.
Just picked a 7 plus a week back & loving the phone so far. Given it had 8.1 out of the box I went through the day 1 upgrades and had a few of these problems. Being a new phone, a factory reset post upgrade was no big deal (I keep everything backed up so it's rarely a big deal) and my wifi problems went away with it. I've found this with Android upgrades in the past. Hard for the Devs to treat every upgrade permutation given apps and time, but easy to test the clean slate, so more likely to be stable that way.
