Hey folks,
It may be my unit but does anyone have this issue that,
It just randomly showed a "cross with grey signal bar" in notification area (which means no signal at all) while I am sitting in midtown buildings with full bar.
If i restart the unit, the issue went away. it is not consistently showing this. but it is very annoying.
I figured it is somehow associated with the "power management" function in new update. But not sure .
Could anyone shed some light on this issue please?
thanks,
i can honestly say that i have a lot of internet issues , just the whole signal period got ****ty
WIFI problems as well
So I admit I am totally new at this. But here is my story and woud love some help before I call Dell and play dumb to get a new one.
I did the update yesterday and soon after my Streak isn't holding the wifi signal. It states that the 2 seperate wireless networks are out of range.
So I tried to do a factory reset with the same results. It will sign on for about 3 seconds and then drops them both.
Any advice would be appreciated.
PS. Anyone gotten this to root. I was not able to with the superoneclick 1.7.
Thanks
Search devrlopment forum, everyone is flashing update with dj's tweak with full root.
After that wifi should be fine .

I see.
Dell ... is sending me a new unit because the support doesnot know what is going on... -____-
So this means a software bug that is not officially recorded will cost the company money....
and give users hassle...
just got the device friday, did the update and having some issues, though none related to wifi or data connectivity. Getting random keyboard and menu bar popups, sometimes 20-30 times in a row.
Talked to t-mobile and they are sending me a new unit.
guess this time around I might want to root and do the custom 2.2.2
Did some speed tests on the app and wifi is great, about 10 down and 2up at home. but 4g right now I'm getting only 2-3 down and maybe .1 up. Already getting a replacement, so maybe I won't update if its and issue.

Got mine last Thursday and just started to have this issue. I noticed it when I'm at work all day using WIFI then I go out to 3g/4g and it would display Full Bars, but not the 3G/4G icon and it won't connect anywhere. The only thing I can do is restart the unit, and once it restarts it pulls a 3G/4G connection.
Running the unit stock with dell upgrade 2.2.2 unrooted. But I upgraded the unit the day I got it, maybe it's an application I installed?

Unfortunately I did some alogcat analysis. Looks like its Huawei radio chip just sleeps(meaning disconnect to the main board) randomly . I was not able to separate the cause of such disconnect.
It is this products "feature". (shame on me by saying that)
Mine does the intermittent up/down thing, too (with several bars of service). So, is this a defective hardware issue? Software issue? "Feature"?
Hey all,
since a couple of days I have a problem with my wifi, it keeps switching on and off (I can see the checkbox activating and deactivating, every couple of seconds, at the moment it is unchecked and says "error")
as I said, the wifi worked before
I am running cyanogen 7 (http://android.doshaska.net/cm7) on Milestone
- But I have also tried MIUI, with the same problem
does issue sound familiar to anyone?
Maybe it is an app which force turns my wifi on/off, is there any way to check which one it is (as far as I know I don't have an of them, eg juice defender, tasker installed)
Many thanks
Have you tried other WiFi networks? Because the same error being reproduced across two different ROMs seems a little unlikely.
Well, the problem is that my wifi doesn't stay on long enough (just a couple of seconds) to scan/connect to any network.

So it isn't a problem connecting to a network, it's a problem of the wifi not even being able to turn on?
Well "technically" it does turn on, but it switches off immediately

wow, i just logged in to search for this issue myself. I have that same issue across multiple roms also. The one that did work was the Telus Lite Eclair. I liked that one, but of course I wanted to check out others. Each one was the same as you describe. Wifi scans, disconnects, scans, in a loop.
I have done searches on google for wifi disconnect loop android, and seen some stuff about kernals and stuff that is over my head at the moment. If some one has an idea on how to get it working that would be great.
I wipe before any install, I've went back to stock and it works, everytime I went to the Telus Lite one it also always worked. I dont know if theres a clue there or not?
Im on an Telus milestone in Canada, on Telus network if that makes a difference.
And since I think this is my first real post, Thanks for the work guys.
Not sure if this would work, but this is the first result that popped up: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/koush/75782-wifi-disconnect-loop-cm6-final.html
EDIT: People are saying that Hidden SSIDs and MAC filtering can cause problems when trying to connect to the WiFi network. Try forgetting the network, making the network visible(protected if you wish) and reboot the phone and try again.
ok, time for a stupid question...
where do I find suitable kernels?
I can't find anything about this (roms and kernel tweaking is a is pretty well documented though)

As far as I know, you won't be able to change the kernel on the Milestone at all, due to the locked bootloader.

a little update, I checked my settings on my router and there was nothing really out of place. For poops and giggles I installed Shawdowmod, and it works with out issue with my wifi. Go figure. Anyway, think im keeping it.
Thanks for the help.
hmmm, good to hear you figured it out.
I just went back to stock and guess what? still nothing
maybe I'll try that rom and see
I had a look through the forums and searched but couldn't find anything on this. I have the Nexus 7 and it's working great, no screen issues or multitouch issues that I've come across.
However I have a problem with certain games. Sonic 4 EPII loads properly but when I start the game I get a black screen with just the music playing. I tried leaving it for a while to see if it would come up but nothing. In trying to get it to work I disabled the WIFI and it worked perfectly. I tested my WIFI connection to see whether or not it was to do with the ADs not being able to download. WIFI connection is working fine and can get to any site, I've also tried connecting to different WIFI networks but nothing works.
The only way I can play these games is by disabling the WIFI which is not ideal. Anyone else having this issue or know a resolve?
Thanks
Maybe email the Dev might be a jb issue.

I noticed that WiFi stops working on my new G4 pretty often. The WiFi icon is on, and the connection is "up", but the data transmission stops working. I see the top arrow blink (is that transmit?) but the bottom arrow doesn't come up anymore. Trying to do anything fails and times out.
To fix, turning the WiFi off and back on makes it all work again.
Anyone else experience this problem? I know @jonathan3579 reports the same issue.
I am connected to 5 Ghz using an Asus RT-N66 running Merlin firmware. I have no issues with any of my other devices.
Using the "Switch to mobile data" option helps a bit by falling back on LTE when the WiFi stops working.

Same here. Very annoying. Love the form factor of this phone
I have tried the option to switch to mobile data when WiFi unavailable, but still have issues. May just go back to my G2 running Cloudy 3 ROM .

I didn't seem to have this problem at work, so I'll monitor it again today (I just got the phone 2 days ago).

I'm having the same issue at home. I could be watching a video and suddenly stops. I don't know if it has to do something with root. I noticed it starts happening yesterday. I never had this issue and I got this phone sine 5/27 when it was released. I'll do a factory reset.

I'm not rooted and mine has done it ever since I got it (and did a factory reset before setting it up). I doubt resetting yours will fix your problem.

Are you having this issue everywhere you go or just one specific place?
I had not noticed it at work, but I only got on the WiFi yesterday for a little bit. This morning it failed on me, so, that's two for two. Haven't used it in many places.
The hotspot works great though. I tether an iPod Touch in my car automatically whenever I drive and I haven't noticed any issues there.

I'm at work and I have been watching multiples videos and no issue at all.
I just noticed this today happening to me too. =(.
Pretty great phone otherwise! Also connected 5ghz to a RT-AC68U (the T-Mobile cellspot), flashed with an older Merlin firmware.
Had to reboot to get it to behave again.
Me too
I've been having this issue too. I've noticed that I lose data and WiFi calling simultaneously. I thought it was my router because we were having issues with the router dropping phones and laptop, but now with a new router it is only my phone that is having a problem.

Running DNSet has definitely helped with keeping the data flowing, and I appreciate that.
WiFi calling is still dropping. When I look in the settings it says "enabling" and just hangs.
What internet provider do you have I'm assuming Comcast

This issue appears to be due to the 5ghz radio. I am not sure if it is software or hardware, but if you connect to the 2.4ghz band, the issue will go away.
Its most likely a issue with lollipop

Lollipop on the G4 maybe, but I have used a Nexus 6, a Moto X and a Dell Venue 7840, all running Lollipop, without issues. The G4 is the only one that has this issue. I never tested my old G3 on this network with Lollipop, I sold it before the update rolled out.
Problem fixed?

I switched to 2.4 ghz and WiFi calling appears to be staying connected. My provider is Oceanic Time Warner and my router is T-Mobile cell spot.
Fingers crossed and thanks for all the help.
Did these wifi problems start after root?
Mine were happening before root, I think. I switched to T-Mobile cell spot router right before I rooted because my old router was regularly dropping connections, and I have been paying attention more since I rooted. I am also caring for 11 month old twins, so things are kind of a blur. What I am saying is I might not be the most reliable source. I can say that switching from 5ghz to 2.4ghz seems to have solved my WiFi issue.
Hi Guys,
The wifi calling feature on My T-mo Galaxy S6 is not working at all. Whenever I try to enable it, it gets stuck at enabling.
Toggling Wifi on/off or rebooting the phone has no effect.
Can anybody help?
BTW I am on G920TUVU2DOF8 build, rooted, TWRP recovery and UniKernel.
Thanks

I had a similar issue. I toggled on airplane mode then toggled WiFi calling off/on and it fixed my problem.

I have the same problem, unless I'm at home on my cellspot. Connecting to anything else is a no go. Still 5.0.2 rooted with ping pong for now. Sucks to have a major perk like WiFi calling not working for a flagship phone. Anyone have any clue how to fix this?
So is there nobody who uses wifi calling or wifi calling is working great for you guys?
I can't believe that there are not many complaints around this issue. The T-mo signal in my house sucks and I was kind of hoping that I can use the wifi calling feature instead.
Mine seems to work fine.

Try calling your phone from another source and see if that congratulations you have used wifi calling message pops up.
Possible fix
So I know this is a dead thread, but I found a possible fix if the airplane mode doesn't work. I shut the phone down, pulled the battery out and hit the power key a bunch of times. Doing this without the battery seems counter-intuitive, but it discharges capacitors when you do it on laptops, so I thought I'd try it on my phone. Put the battery back in, started the phone and wifi calling worked again.
This actually works for me. I just installed an App called TalkaTone(FREE but requires registration) and called my T-Mobile number and let it ring for a few times then hung up. Wifi calling finished enabling and started working.
Still no solution
I've been using note 3 for 4 years and currebtly it has phronesis rom 7.0.
Last week, after i charged with my powerbank, suddenly wifi stopped working, stucked at 'enabling wifi'. I rebooted a few million times, cleaned unnecessary apps including the last ones, hard reset, reinstalled rom, shook it, dropped it to the floor, threw it to the wall, but didnt help at all. And i thought it's a got broken as it's already 4 year old phone.
A few days later, when my charge was at 3%, the back of of the phone, right next to the camera heated too much, despite i was doing nothing, i got panicked and remowed the battery.
10 min later, placed it again, booted the phone, and tadaa, wifi was working, the back side was keeping cool, phone was smoother and charge level was %35 or so.
Then i thought, wifi issue was not a hardware thing but instead it was related to wrong battery stats. When the charge level was again 2% i removed tge battery again, waited fir a few min and placed again. It was again %25 percent,( didnt last long though,) but wifi again was not working.
Moving from that point, i fully charged the phone, calibrated battery, removed replaced etc... but didnt work.
I deleted the file data/misc/wifi, it didnt work.
Afaik blutooth and wifi use a common chip and if wifi is failing cos of a hardware issue, blutooth is not supposed to work as well. Yet, my blutooth works fine. Just wifi.
I dont know how to fix it.
Try it
I have no S6 , but you can try the Wifi Calling tool .
