So I have had this problem before a year or two ago, I tried everything and had to reset my phone to factory settings to get it fixed. The problem is now back and I'd like to avoid having to reset the phone as its just a huge pain in the ass to set it all back up. I get notifications late from whatsapp and it keeps losing connection to webwhatsapp (wifi or via 4g). Only way to reconnect is to unlock my phone. I have checekd all the settings, reinstalled whatsapp and the problem occurs out of nowhere as I didn't change any settings in my phone, didn't update my phone.
I'm hoping a wizard here has any suggestions as a last resort.
Kind regards, a desperate stranger.
edit: running android 8.0
edit2: reset the phone and the issue is still there.

Hi
I am having a problem that just cropped up on a Xoom 3g running unrooted, Motorola Jelly Bean 4.2.1. I am using it on wi-fi only, no Verizon account. The unit will get past the M screen and then ususally hangs up when it gets to the screen with the expanding colored rectangles. Sometimes the home screen will flash up for a split second, sometimes with enough time to log in. In either case it is back to the colored rectangles shortly, even if I get it to log in. I can get to the factory reset screen during the boot and do a full factory reset reload the apps and settings. I have done this twice. It works for about 20 or 30 boots and then colored rectangles show up in the middle of a session and its back to the boot problem.
Questions:
Does anyone have a quick answer?
Will rooting and reloading Android help or it is a hardware issue?
Thanks for any help

Have tried a full factory reset without restoring your apps and settings to see if the issue persist?

It seemed to work ok with the apps installed for a while. There were a couple which were suspect and I did not reinstall after the factor reset. It could be a problem though. Maybe I will try the reset again with only a couple of apps. I am still undescided on the root and updating the OS.

Hi again.
I did some thinking and now I suspect the Bluetooth connection. I had enabled an app that required BT (Logitech Harmony Hub). I also enabled the BT but not the app after the second factory reset. I did another factory reset and did not enable Bluethooth. The unit has been running flawless as before. I did a little searching on the web and found a guy with an identicle problem but it was not clear if it was resolved.. Does anyone know know if this is a common problem and if there is a solution. I could not find anything elso on the web or in the formum that helped. If this is a persistant problem, I am wondering if a custom rom would help.
Thanks

This is a new problem ive had since last night. Last night, since i turned on wifi and then attempted to play the family guy game... i thought it was the game that was messed up. I went to play it, phone froze, fair enough, held down the power button to do a reset... it booted, but as soon as i put in my security pattern, it froze on that pattern. Pulled battery out, and put back in, and STILL froze on pattern.....
ended up taking the SD card out, getting in enough to turn off wifi.... froze. reset again. went into recovery and cleared cache, froze shortly after i put my pattern in
it was just rediculous!!
i hadnt tried the wifi again until just now.... i wanted to go into the store to leave a bad review for the game... but it seems to be for some reason my phone. the store was half way into loading and it froze.... so i rebooted, it froze on lock... rebooted again... managed to get the wifi off and it seemed okay, but i restarted it thru the actual menu for good measure and it seems okay now.
but the question is, WHY???
same ROM, same phone, nothing new downloaded in about 3 weeks or so...... i was just trying to play a game over wifi..... normally i keep wifi and data off with just network connection for calls and texts.... but ive never had any problems wtih it freezing up for just toggling the wifi before, this is a new problem with nothing new on the phone as the cause. I hadnt even connected it to my PC in a week or so, for it to pick something up via USB that was bad.....
what can i do??
I would really appreciate help on this matter.... nothing new on my phone.... it still freezes after the wifi radio turns on...
the most recent time my home screen froze but i was still able to pull down the bar and turn off the wifi radio before a total freeze..... had to reset it again......
it works fine until wifi turned on since last night... no new updates, no new games.... no new anything so im REALLY confused!!!
Im trying restoring to a previous backup i have from CWM..... un fortunately from a year ago so its gonna take me forever to get things back the way i had them...
if this doesnt work i really dont know what else to do....
tried wiping the cache and dalvik cache, and still ntohing....... i wanted to get in to clear out some of the wifi network names... but you need wifi on... and well guess what happens.... friggen phone.....
OMG i am so flaming angry now.... ITS STILL HAPPENING!!!!
did backup, seemed fine so i reinstalled everything i wanted.... was fine yesterday and the night before wth wifi.... now its doing the SAME GODDAMN THING!!!!
i could really REALLY use some help with this!!!
Hi All,
I did a factory reset to solve a problem, problem solved, but somethong happened to the mobile data.
Data connects, shows the connection, nothing comes through. No browsing, no data on facebook, nothing...
Wifi is working fine.
The data is not completely dead. Once in a while an app gets updated if I keep it on. Sometimes, it gets connected. But most of the time it does not.
Troubleshooting done so far:
1. Did Factory Reset agin and again.
2. Changed the SIM with another one, new one is also not connecting. My SIM is working on other mobile, nothing wrong with the SIM.
3. Reset all APNs, did manual APN settings.
4. Removed theSIM kept for 1/2 hour and put it back in.
5. Checked all setting that can possibly affect anything.
Do anybody have similar experience? Please help.
I am on Marshmallow, latest version of the firmware.
I don't know where to post this, so I'll start here.
After I took the Oreo 8.0 update on my phone (SM-955U) S8+ in layman's terms..lol, both my wife's phone and mine are not staying unlocked with Smart Lock. We use this feature when we are in our trusted place (Home).It works when it's connected to a trusted device (Car Bluetooth) I wiped my phone and did a factory reset and started from scratch to rule out software or settings. I would have to constantly (many times a day) turn off then back on my trusted place. I sometimes even delete it and re do it. I have gone into my google account and made sure my Home was in my profile. The one thing I did notice is, once in a while, I have gone into settings > apps > Google Search and cleared Cache and Delete All Data, then uninstalled Google update's and restarted my phone. Then it would work for a while, then it wouldn't again.
I'm at a loss as to what is causing this. I'm not sure if it's an OS (firmware) but or something else all together. I don't know if the Google search is a coincidence or its the actual issue.
Anyone else having this similar issue or found the fix?
It has been happening to me. It actually started right before I got the Oreo update.
Interesting, I don't remember if it started before the update or not. I was having an issue updating to begin with. So I was constantly resetting my phone.
Same here. Also started before the Oreo update...around the time of the Feb security patch. Mine works when I get home consistantly until I dont use the phone for a while. At that point I have to use the fingerprint reader or pattern to unlock every time. Very annoying.
Google pixel 3 (not XL) - Three is my provider.
For a number of weeks now I've not been receiving notifications while using data, until the app has been opened or till the phone connects to Wi-Fi.
I have contacted Three, thinking it may be an issue with service of some sort. They've been through loads of different settings (the person I spoke to did seem to know what they were talking about and very useful), but they got to point where they had exhausted everything they could think of.and asked me to turn my phone on and off to see if that helps with some of the settings that had been changed... it didn't.
Since, I've done a factory reset (I'd already tried resetting using the other options), this did didn't help. I've gone through all easy accessible settings to make sure no battery optimizer setting are on (the ones I can find at least), I've gone through all the data settings. But nothing seems to be working.
As soon as my phone connects to Wi-Fi I then get loads of notifications coming through.
Not sure if anybody else is having an issue with this or if it's due to the most recent update as the two seemed to happen to close togethe.
I've tried contacting Google and not had any reply. I'm at a loss of what else I can try hoping somebody on here night have another suggestion please.
