hey guys, my wife's phone, suddenly started restarting on and on, then after a while, it would be ok, ok as in it would open and wont restart, but wifi won't open. I already did a factory reset and flashed using ODIN, multiple stock firmware, SM-A426B on different versions, trying if downgrading would make it work. but no luck, even after flashing, it still restarts a number of times, and when it opens, wifi still won't open. any ideas would be highly appreciated, or you can just point or link me something to try, then I'll try to fix it. tia
Flashing with Odin is supposed to be the true fix if it's software related. At this point I can only tell you this may be hardware related, maybe a faulty board. Don't rule it out.

Yeah I was thinking that it could be hardware. I just tried to ask here since, i'm not really into these flashing stuffs. Thanks for the insight!

You obviously don't have the same problem as Jentech because Jentech solved the problem especially if a hard reset did not solve the problem.
You will have to give more information (recently flashed a new ROM) - I am guessing that if you did recently flash a new ROM than that is your problem - Try reflashing it or try a different one (seeing as a hard reset did not solve the problem it is not a conflict of apps installed.) if you are on stock ROM still and the hard reset did not solve the problem - take it in for warranty repair or replacement (if you have warranty) Other than that I can't tell you.
You will have to give much more information if you want someone to be able to help you anyways.
I have recently been sent the update to android 4.4.2 on my note pro however my WiFi will not connect now.
I've tried restarting the device and it keeps saying "network connection unavailable".
has anybody else had a similar experience with this device?

Use search, here are couple topics about broken wifi after update. Factory reset should fix it.

Hi!
Have you got Passpoint running?
This might be a totally different issue but if a factory reset or reflashing doesn´t help you might try looking here.

Elo

I have the same effect!
A full reset won't fix this problem. I contacted Samsung support and the said that I should send them the tablet.
A reset usually isn't sufficient, you need to reflash the firmware.
I fully reset the tablet about 4 times and it suddenly works.
Hi all!
I have exactly the same issue.... I just updated my Note Pro LTE (unrooted) to the latest firmware and I also do not have access to wifi.
Could you please help me? I read in this thread that by reflashing might solve the issue, but since I am not so experienced with that stuff on Android (hence the reason I never rooted), could you please provide detail instructions what exactly I have to do?
Thanks a lot for your great help!

I eventually made a factory reset and after everything was finalized, wifi was running again fine. All my apps from play store were installed again automatically and everything seemed to run properly!
However, when I woke up this morning, unfortunately the same issue was present. No network connectivity and all available wifi networks were marked 'not in range'!!
Thus, it seems that factory reset does not solve the problem... Therefore I searched on google how to reflash my tablet. This is the link that I found:
http://androidcentral.us/2014/02/how-to-flash-firmware-using-odin-samsung-devices/
Could you please confirm whether this is the procedure I should follow? If yes, which update should I use? The latest or the previous one, i.e. P905XXUANH3 or P905XXUANC3?
Also, will Knox be tripped if I flash the firmware?
Thanks a lot for your help and I look forward to your responses!

Yes.
I usually direct people here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/guide-odin-flash-guide-t1671969 (It's for the S3, but the procedure is the same everywhere. Make sure you get the most recent version of ODIN. The three buttons have different names (Bootloader/PDA/Phone/CSC are now BL/AP/CP/CSC), but the order is the same.)
If yes, which update should I use? The latest or the previous one, i.e. P905XXUANH3 or P905XXUANC3?

You can't downgrade, so use either the one you already have or a newer one.

If you use the official firmware for a country in your region, No.
Thanks a lot ShadowLea!!
Eventually there is no need to reflash the tablet....
The only thing I just did was to uncheck the Passpoint option, as Polar67 describes above, in the Advanced Settings of wifi and immediately the issue was fixed!
Thank you all for your great help!!

Interesting.. Let's remember that solution for when someone else runs into it!
So I updated to Nougat on my Z5 32GB (6553) which is on EE in the UK.
I am finding the phone drops wifi connection (randomly almost) and will not re-connect unless I completely re-boot the phone.
Along with this, I'm finding that my network connectivity is just awful - but this may just be in my head because the wifi keeps dropping/cutting out.
I've gone through my router settings at home, nothing is different, and I don't have wifi sleep turned on.
I reset my network settings 2 weeks ago, hoping that would solve it, and then factory reset my phone this past weekend hoping that would solve it.
unfortunately I cannot unlock my bootloader, so I can't even root it and run logs.
Any suggestions?
Flash new firmware using flashtool, and wipe data and that.

reflash it, it can become buggy, don't ask question if you know the answer.

it can become buggy can it?
I'm asking the question to see if it is a common firmware problem - I highly doubt it is, as I'd imagine there would be a whole load of topics about it, and I can't find anything.
thanks for your "help".

How hard it is to try reflashing stock rom, it can help in 90% of cases, try different region.
Hey, XDA-ers!
I got the Android Nougat 7.0 update for my Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930FD (DUOS) back in January if I remember correctly. And the update process went like how it normally does. But ever since I got the Nougat update, my phone restarts randomly for no reason. At first it used to restart when I click on the 'Recent Apps' button to switch between apps. When I tap on the button, the phone vibrates and restarts. The phone never over heated before this happens. During this, the phone used to restart 2-3 times a day. This went on for 2 months. Then now, the number of restarts reduced to 1-2 per day, but the problem still persists. And now, it restarts even when I don't touch the 'Recent Apps' button. So, if any of you has had a similar experience or if any of you could help me out Please share it here. It would be GREAT!
Also just one more thing- Any of you seen any DRASTIC or worse changes in battery life of your Galaxy S7 after the Android Nougat 7.0 update? Please share your thoughts here and do suggest how you solved the problem. (My battery drains so fast that I sometimes charge it twice a day. I don't even use my phone for half of the day because I'll be at school and still the battery drain is bad! )
Factory reset. Backup your data via kies and then reset it.
Change your battery
What firmware version are you running? There's at least one version of Nougat that has issues with this

Hey man!?
The screen shot attached has my software info. Check it out and tell me if it's one of the versions with the problem.
Thanks!
Hmm... and after the factory reset with no apps installed you are still rebooting?
Why dont you try to reflash your firmware via odin.
Download it from sammobile and reflash it.

Possibly. I can vouch for it being fixed on DQCF onwards, which is newer than DQC4. The temporary fix seems to be to use as little RAM as possible(try to cut down on background apps until the next update). That firmware isn't terribly old though. I would actually agree with trying a reflash first.

I think it is also possible to reinstall the same firmware with Smart Switch from the menu "Emergency Software Recovery and Initialisation". It's like Odin but much simpler especially for beginners. As for me, I am still in DQBO and I await the update DQD7 which is beginning to be deployed in some countries. If this is not going to solve the problem, I will try to reinstall the fimware with Smart Switch. What do you think ?

If it's restarting due to the firmware bug then DQD7 will most definitely fix it. Beware of the emergency recovery though. Ive not used Smart Switch but the "initialization" part sounds like it would wipe the device, though that could fix any issues. Backup first, if you can.
Hi friends,
Since yesterday, my wifi and bluetooth don't work anymore. When enabling them, it scans nothing . I've made a factory reser without any psuccess !
Never seen an issue like this on any phone...
Thanks for your help guys
Have you tried restarting the phone? I had 1 time yesteday too, suddenly, the phone was idle, and when I checked Wifi found nothing. Restarted and then it works again. Not sure if related to March update or some other stuffs

Wow...after a factory reset, that's pretty much it!
You can try doing the reset network settings button (you can search it in the search bar in Settings or find it in the Internet setting on top right button [wrench and reset circle]), but I can't imagine it doing better than a factory reset.
The best/last thing that can be suggested, since it states you are rooted in your sig, is to flash the latest Full Factory image (March) and/or with the "-w" intact (since you stated that you did a factory reset so I imagine your phone is wiped anyways) and see if that doesn't fix the issue. The best 3 methods to achieve this is using the online Android Flash Tool, the tool PixelFlasher that can be found here on XDA, or manually using platform-tools (you must've used one of these in the past to be rooted, so I assume you're familiar).
Hopefully you get it figured out. Worst case, the phone is still under manufacturer's warranty and you should be able to get it replaced with a refurbished if it truly isn't resolved...

Yesterday I dirty flashed March update bmand disabled verity stuff. It forced me to format data. Is it enough or is there a better clean flash way ?
Btw I tried the reset network thing without success

Mmmm...when you stated you "factory reset", it wasn't clear whether it was from the OS system setting or when flashing...
I don't think there is a "better clean" way to flash and/or reset the phone. If you're not flashing/sideloading OTA (which you aren't)...
It (reset network) was a very long shot, but worth exploring just in case it hadn't been tried yet...
I mean, I guess you can try Android Flash Tool and even go as far as to flash to both slots and relock bootloader to get a pure, stock status and see if the problem truly sticks that way. You've already wiped the phone, so I doubt this could hurt or you lose anything important at this point. But I can't imagine dirty flashing the latest March update (or even including disabling the verity stuff) wouldnt've addressed or reset things to set the issue straight...
If it's still there after relocking the bootloader and flashing to both slots, then it's warranty exchange time (if you ever want to resolve the issue)...
*most likely the flashing somehow wrecked the system board radio enough...
If/When this works, you'll need go through the trouble of unlocking the bootloader, and reflashing the Full Factory image with disabling the verity & validation stuff, before rooting again.
Ok I think it's a hardware problem. When I shake my phone, I hear something moving.
I dropped it from my bed saturday night. The wifi module must be disconnected.
Let's send it to Google....

Are you sure that what you are hearing move when you shake the phone is just the OIS for the camera? All phones with OIS will make some noise when you shake them.
