Anyone out there with this issue? I have multiple wifi network profiles on my Tab for Home (2) and at Work (1). Out of these 3 profiles , 1 profile from home (wpa) and the other from work (802.1x EAP) will reboot the GT each time i turn on the wifi. The only way to stop this from happening is to remove these profiles. Not very productive but thats the only way to get rid of the booting. Anyone facing this issue ?

It just happened to me too. Got the Android panic screen.
Mine just reboots wo any panic icon
Re-flash with the latest firmware.
Dear zyborg, i am a complete noob in this area coming from the WM platform. Can u point me to the link on how to flash a GT rom? B4 i take the step to do that , i would like to try hard resetting first...which will totally remove the rooting and not just the privacy - return to factory default? Is there such a thing like that for android devices? TQ in advance
Reflashed at Samsung centre. Issue stil there.

Take it back as it sounds defective..
I have the same problem. Did you get it solved or is it a hardware error?
I couldnt prove it to Samsung when i was at the sevice centre because the reboot didnt hapen at their wifi router. I came to a conclusion that the problem only arises on certain profiles and certain wifi routers. Compatibility issues? So far my dlink router and corporate router, cisco is giving me this issue. I had another 7 inch tablet, CSL and i never faced such issues with the same settings

I found out that the reboot does not occur when i only have one wlan profile configured.
So i think it is an softwarebug. Do you agree?
Thanks!
Yes. I agree. Looks like its only u and me for the time being. Btw my rom is dxjj1. What is yours?

As i have baught my tab at Amazon, i have the possibility to change it on warranty for a new one. Maybe i will do this on next weekend.
I will keep you informed about my encounters.
Thanks lulatsch99. Would really like to know the outcome from yr side. Tomorrow i am getting a help from samsung tech guy to meet me at my office to test out his tab. Will try to simulate the same profiles to see if his machine boots too.

Hi,
today i got my brand new exange tab from Amazon. I tested it without installing any Apps.
The same reboot problem appeared. As soon as i had configured more than 1 wlan profile, the tab rebooted after switching off and on wlan. The same happens when i activate and deactivate the Offline modus.
This even happened when i had one profile for real and one dummy profile configured. After the reboot the wireless lan connection works fine until switching off and on wlan.
Both profiles i configured with wpa2 psk.
Now i really think this is a software/driver bug. Most of the tab users seam to have only one wlan profile, otherwise more people would have this problem.
Oh, i also contacted the german Samsung support. They never heard of this problem.
Please let me now if you got better results with or from the tech guy.
The tech guy from Samsung couldnt make it. Next schedule is next week. I am not too hopeful now since ur scenarrio proved its not hw related. Maybe Samsung in Germany and Malaysia should talk to each other. Thats provided the log down our issues in the database. Will update you once i get to test their units. I also tested that this problem will exist if one profile is on wpa while the other is on 802.x

I have the same issue. The tab also reboot eventhough I have only 1 wifi profile configured. I try "factory default" several times but issue still exist even no any app installed at all.
my version is also P1000DXJJ1.
After phone consult with local Samsung call center, they have never seen this problem.

Either Samsung is trying to cover up till the next major update or not enough ppl is having this problem to make it a major issue. May I know which country you are from ? I am from Malaysia. If we at the same location, then maybe we can go there together and make a point.
Ii finally met up with the Samsung tech guy today. Same issue with his TAB. So I guess its a bug with the software. He will feedback to Samsung and I guess all we can do is wait till the next official ROM to see if they have solved it. I will try the DXJK5 ROM later this week to see if the problem appears there.

Hi cmloo, I am from Thailand. I have posed on some thailand's user webbroad but no one has this issue. I recently not have this issue for 1 week also for normal use which not repeatly turning on/off wifi.
Thank you for your update.
@cmloo
I fully agree! Thanks for the upgrade!
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 guys. I have made a couple posts about WiFi issues in other threads, such as the CM12 development thread, and I started a thread about my WiFi issues in CM12, but haven’t gotten feedback. Anyways, I now know my WiFi woes go beyond just CM12, so I’m not trying to duplicate threads, but rather I’m making a general thread about this issue as I am desperate for help.
Some time back I started having very poor WiFi reception on my Nook HD+. What I attributed it to at the time was installing CM12. However, it’s possible this started happening prior to CM12 when I was on SlimKat or CM11. I have done some more extensive testing on this and would like to give you guys the run-down and see if you have any ideas.
For the first 1+ year I had this tablet, I ran CM10.2.1 without any issues at all, and although the WiFi reception was a little bit weaker than my other devices, it was never weak enough to cause any issues. At some point this past fall I tried out some KitKat builds, CM11 and SlimKat. I had trouble with the stability of those builds, and I can’t recall if my WiFi reception was good or bad on those, but I think it was okay. Because of the stability issues on those ROMs, when CM12 came out I hopped on that to see if it was going to be better.
My WiFi reception on CM12 was very poor. Only sometimes could I stream my video and even then it would cut off after a few minutes. I figured CM12 was the issue so I rolled back to the ‘Jamus28’ ‘Unofficial CM10.2.1 Stable w/ TabletUI + ArchiDroid Optimizations’, since CM10.2.1 ran great for me for so long. I figured that although I wouldn't be running the latest and greatest (Lollipop), at least I would have my stability and more importantly, my WiFi stability back. Apparently I was mistaken.
I am still having WiFi reception issues regardless of which ROM I am on. I have tested at areas around my apartment on the different ROMs. I’ve done most of the testing on the CM10.2.1. The WiFi signal fluctuates greatly, mostly at very very low speeds (using Speedtest app, 1-2 Mbps in some areas, but never gets above 8 or so even right next to the router). On my other devices I get 20-30 Mbps. I've had similar troubles now at my church on their network, which used to have a great connection for me, so I don't feel it's specific to my network.
I have done a ‘hard factory reset’ of my router and set it up from scratch. Last night, I couldn't even start a stream up at all. All of my ROM flashes are always clean flashes. Part of what I’m wondering is – is there something that could be sticking in my tablet files, despite doing clean flashes, that could be causing these issues? Is there any universal command or file between the different ROMs I can check on? Do I need to try a complete and utter wipe of my Internal Storage and start from scratch? Or do you think I just have a device that the hardware has gone bad on? The main apps I stream and thus have had trouble with are WatchESPN and Netflix. I've also had the troubles with YouTube.
Any input, suggestions, or tips are greatly appreciated! Please let me know if I can provide any other information to help troubleshoot. Thanks in advance.
Have you installed a WiFi Analyzer? It can be very helpful for finding both sweet spots and trouble spots.
WiFi can be a fickle beast. Interference can come from a myriad of sources. If you're sure its your HD+, it could even come down to how you hold it. Do you have big,wet hands?

As you have found out it is hard to differentiate between hardware and software but my "guess" would be software. My thinking is signal strength is not your problem as distance makes very little difference. My suggestion, and I'm sure you have thought of this, would be to go back to stock (Leapinlar has great info and instructions) and move forward into CM 10.1 or CM 10.2. You can still download the official stable from the CM site. If going back to completely stock does not help then moving on to a different tablet is the option.
Kokercey just reminded me that I once had WiFi problems with my old tablet (BNTV250). I used WiFi Fixer from the Play Store. I recall that it solved the problem, though I don't recall what exactly the problem was. Anyway, it can't hurt. And it's a lot less traumatic than restoring to stock and starting over. But that would be my next step.
Thank you both for the suggestions. I will check out that WiFi fixer when I am at home.
I had thought about and read about the benefits of going back to stock. My curiosity is, does full-wiping and going to stock OS and then back to CM have an advantage over a complete Internal Storage wipe and then going back to CM?

One of the advantages of going back to stock and wiping instead of just wiping is going to stock also resets your bootdata and recovery partitions and wiping does not. That may not make a difference in your issues, but who knows.

Thanks guys. I tried the WiFi Fixer, but it seems more geared towards issues connecting to a network. I seem to connect okay.
One clue I forgot to mention is that when I use the speedtest app, my upload speeds are faster than my download speeds 98% of the time. Usually 5-7 Mbps compared with the dismal download speeds of ~1-3 Mbps.
@leapinlar, to go back to stock, I would reference item #6 in your CWM Root Tools thread? Flash the older recovery, full wipe, and flash the stock zip? Which stock zip do you recommend for just the reason of cleaning things up? Can I use the rooted zips? Whichever one makes it easiest to get back to a newer recovery and CM is obviously what I'd be looking for.
Thank you all for the help.

Yes, item 6. The newest plain stock, not the rooted one. And just use the older bootable CWM SD to put the cm10s on. Don't bother with putting recovery on internal until you are ready to put the newer one on for CM11, if you get that far.

The CWM SD should boot on its own after inserting it. If it does not then you need to remake it. After booting to the CWM SD do a factory reset with the CWM. That is the only wiping necessary. It does not remove the internal TWRP. The next step does that as part of flashing the stock zip. And yes boot to stock and set it up to test your wifi issues before moving on to CM.

Okay. I did the following:
- Made older bootable CWM card
- Booted to the bootable card CWM recovery
- Performed factory reset in CWM
- Flashed stock unrooted 2.2.0 zip
- Booted to stock and activated into the tablet through my WiFi network.
I've done a little testing running in the stock OS. The WiFi speeds seem to be almost identical to before this exercise (via the Speedtest app). The one difference I am noticing is in the usage of the WatchESPN app. Beforehand, a stream would start at a decent resolution (or not start at all) and then the stream would cut out and not reconnect, presumably when the signal fluctuated too low. Now on the stock OS, it is staying connected, but at a very very low resolution. So it almost seems to be more stable but a really low quality.
I don't remember exactly what the speeds used to be in the tablet's good days, because I never had a reason to study any speed tests. All I know is that anywhere around my apartment it would stream all of these apps at HD resolution with no problems. This is a bummer. Maybe it's just hardware gone bad.

It sounds more like a router change if it is the same on both ROMs. Have you done anything different lately. Even connecting some other new device to the router. Other users have had issues when two devices interfere with each other. Like two HD+s on the same router.

Interesting. I did get a new HP computer in December, which come to think of it could be when these problems started, but I can't say for sure. It runs on the same 2.4 GHz band that the Nook HD+ runs on. Some time before that my wife and I both changed phones. We almost always have the phones on my 5 GHz band. Other than that I have a laptop and Kindle Fire that we've had for a very long time.
Last weekend I did a factory reset of the router due to issues I was having with my phone connecting on Lollipop. I set it back up the same as it was prior. After doing the reset my phone was able to connect again. As noted above, it runs on the 5 GHz. Prior to last weekend the router had been the same for quite some time, certainly well before the tablet WiFi issue.
Perhaps try some testing with the new laptop shut down?
Edit: I did get a new router some time back, but I feel it was surely before these troubles, maybe last summer or so. Let's say it wasn't... how would I test this?

To eliminate potential interference from other devices temporarily disconnect everything from the router except the Nook. Bluetooth could also be an issue. It runs on the 2.4GHz band too. As I remember the earlier issue was when an HD+ and an HD both connected the HD+ (and other devices) slowed way down. There was a software problem with the HD which got fixed eventually.

Your quickest path is to simply turn them all off and test only with what's needed for the nook, which is wifi router/modem and the nook. Unplug the house phones, turn off computers, forget the wifi on the mobiles/tablets, airplane mode, or similar. etc.
One other thing I will point out is that testing max wifi speed over internet isn't the best idea as the results are less guaranteed.. The internet is out of your hands and devices are recognized and delt with on that end as well. Using btsync (http://www.getsync.com/ , https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bittorrent.sync&hl=en) and transferring locally a large file (few hunderd MBs or so) from your dektop/laptop to the device though the wifi router/modem (the desktop/laptop should be wired to the router for troubleshooting here) will be able to max out the wifi connection and it shows the transfer speed. Unfortunately, simple ways such es file explorer or similar cannot do so. Transferring small files though btsync also shouldn't max it out as that creates a bottleneck.
The best these things can do is just over 4MBps.
Okay guys, thank you for the help, I do appreciate it. I did a little more testing. I turned off everything I have and just ran the Nook on the modem and router. Unfortunately I didn't notice an improvement in the speeds doing my poor-mans tests (speedtest app and streaming). Similar to yesterday I am able to stream a decent-to-good quality in the immediate proximity of the router, but a low quality further away. I then whipped up the WiFi Analyzer again and decided to try a different channel, but I am still having similar results.
I have not tried the Sync app yet, but thank you for that suggestion, perhaps I will give it a try. Is 4 MBps really all these devices can do? That sure seems low, but I guess I don't know what is typical for a tablet...
I would like to point out clearly that I am in an apartment building. There are a LOT of surrounding networks and devices. However, I've been here for more than two years now and it wasn't an issue prior to these last however many months. Is it possible I have a new neighbor with some new device(s) that are causing additional interference, perhaps?
A side question I have, and maybe it should go in a new thread, is that I've tried a few times to bluetooth tether the Nook to my phone and use the phone's WiFi for the Nook, but when I get to the step of actually selecting to use the phone for WiFi, the Nook wouldn't allow me to select/activate. I would just press and nothing would happen. This was happening on CM; I haven't tried today as I still have it on the Stock OS. Any idea why that wouldn't work on CM?

With wifi analyzer if your wifi is -30 your in great shape with signal strength which one less bar may occur in the -50 range. And if it shows your wifi is on a good channel then its not going to do much for you.

I assume you have a mimo router (multiple antennas) and dual band as well in which case the nooks can't take advantage of that and interference could be more of an issue. But, if you have a cheap end HP laptop it may have the same basic wifi as the nooks - if you look at the connection info in the nook wifi settings and the connection info on the HP networking and they both show 65 link speed that would help confirm the nook is indeed having a problem with something (ignoring any possible differences between internal antenna design). (It looks like HP laptops MSRP above $1k get various combinations of dual band, dual antenna, ac wifi.)

I will check this evening what type of signal strength it was. It is a low end HP laptop and it only runs the 2.4 GHz band so it sounds like what you're talking about. I can check on the device info this evening. However, I had it off yesterday when testing around again and I don't think I noticed much of a difference. Last night I watched a little more streaming and it's possible it was slightly better quality for longer periods, but I can't say for sure.

Hey guys, I had some very busy weeks of work and then a vacation and then some more busyness. I haven't had any improvement in the tablet WiFi in that time. I did some testing today using the BT Sync software. Let me note a few more things first:
- I checked the Link Speed on my Nook HD+ and it mostly read 54 or 72 mbps. I never saw it at 65. I actually saw it go down to 1 a few times but then back to 54 or 72.
- I checked the Link Speed on my HP Laptop and it read 72 mbps, again I never saw 65; it stays steady at 72.
I've done some more using of the tablet around the HP laptop and it doesn't seem to have an effect that I can tell whether the HP is off or on.
FYI I have a Netgear N300 router.
My WiFi analyzer app shows that with my Nook literally within one foot of my router my signal strength gets no stronger than -50. Nowhere near -30 ever. In my further rooms from the router it drops to -60 to -70.
I did the testing using BT Sync you recommended. I connected my other laptop directly to the router and disabled it's wireless as well as the wireless on the HP laptop. I installed Sync on both the laptop and my Nook. I transferred (actually it's still attempting to transfer) a folder with several files, the main one being around 200 megs which it has been chugging away on. With all the other devices off this transfer topped out around 350 KB/s. More consistently it has been around 200 - 250 KB/s.
Edit: Let me know if you think I'm using the Sync app incorrectly to have that slow of speeds. However it doesn't seem far fetched to me based on my performance I have at times (browsing, app installs, etc.)
I hope this provides some more clues for you guys, I'll add a post if I think of anything else. I appreciate all continuing suggestions. Thank you for your help thus far.
Hello everyone,
So I've been having some troubles with Bluetooth on two devices running nougat, and I haven't really found any good resolutions.
I've been practicing app development lately and was originally Bluetoothing the apk to my phones to test out (email or cord has been the obvious solution but I get obsessive and wanted to figure out why bt would not work). Weird thing is it was working fine for a couple attempts then it would not work. Laptop is an msi apache, it will connect and transfer to other devices running marshmallow and cyanogenmod no problem. But my s6 and note 5 on nougat will not work. It will attempt to send, time out and say device disconnected AND THEN I'll get the prompt on my phone asking to accept the file, but of course it's already disconnected.
Tried clearing cache, resetting network connections, disabling Wi-Fi, re pairing devices on the phones.
On my laptop I changed the device type from 128bit encryption to 40-58 or what ever it was.
Repaired, restarted, tried changing support services to a local service login type, reinstalled the bt driver... I'm assuming it's the phone but just wanted to list a couple things I tried.
Any ideas or just an android 7.0 issue?
Thanks.
Edit- first post and I put it in the wrong section, sorry about that! Should be in qa
What rom are you using? Try another perhaps, I've had lots of issues with Bluetooth over the years due to buggy roms.
