Services goes in and out

My tilt recently has been acting rather strange, and I'm not sure if its the radio or not. The phone keeps on gaining and losing signal, and cannot figure out why. At first I thought it might be a software problem, but I updated the rom to the newest official release and that did not fix the problem. Does anyone have a suggestion? The problem isn't reception, I've never had this trouble until recently, has always worked fine in this area regardless of weather / other.

not sure if it's the same issue...
I had the problem few weeks back..
my tytn would be having no signal at times..
I nid to go to Comms Panel and off/on the Phone.
after few days, encountered no SIM Card detected error.
hard reset and changing ROMs, including stock ROM didn't help.
now it's being repaired..
hope to get it back soon.

its horrible that you mention that, my warranty literally ran out about 5 days ago . However, based on the fact that I've done just about everything I could on the software end, I think it might be hardware (even though I haven't really even put this phone through any trauma whatsoever). The radio part of the phone....does anyone know which specific part that is? I don't remember seeing an individual radio in the disassembly, so I assume that it is on one of the boards. Does anyone know which one specifically?

mine was subjected to a few drops on the floor hehe..
but it was ok...
it was only recently that I encountered those issues...
if U can try get hold of the tytn II assembly/dis-assembly pictures, U might be able to remove the antenna pcb/board...
I only cleaned the metal connectors at the antenna board area.. no joy..

Keep screen on while docked? CM7

I swear there is a setting to keep the screen on while charging or docked but I cannot find it.
It would logically be under settings/display but its not.
Running CM7 latest nightly currently, and I swear I have seen the option, although maybe on a different Rom?.
I want to keep the screen from timing out while in my car dock. It stays on with CarHome Ultra but if I get a call the screen times out and then wont go back to to CarHome.
Any suggestions?

Settings / Application / Development. Now if you want to know why it is there instead of display, that one I can't answer

Thank you! I knew I had seen it someplace.
Applications certainly does seem an odd place for it.

i FOUND THE solution i have exactly the same problem 2 days i tried resetting , formating, hard reset, even rooting to diffrent rooms the problem was never solved .
i had following problem
1. the phone will automatically swtich to docking, its annoying
2.some time i got old galaxy s 1 home screen
3. when i put a battery it will show its charging which im not charging and will pop a msg high volage, also.
its not a software issue which ibelieve but the USB hub under your phone, due having contacts with moisture new phones wont have this problem, im not saying u guys may had dipped ur phone, but having ur phone in ur pocket or sweat is 1st problem and having a bath and ur phone is in toilet,
HERE IS THE SOLUTION
get a alocohol from pharmacy and wool, get a tooth pick put the small cotton at the head and run ur usb HUB rema phone has to be off take batt out, after cleaning u will see the USB hub is clean alot of dirt removed, then wait 5-10 min to dry never plug charger or else u will pay for ur mistake, after 10min turn ur phone on it will be total fine.
ITS THE DIRT WHICH IS STICK ON PIN 4-5 making Problem.
i hope it can help tht how it work for me

[Q] Sony Xperia ZR Wifi & Bluetooth functionality Disabled

Hi,
Brought the Sony Xperia ZR a few months ago.
It was giving problem with Bluetooth right from the beginning but haven't bothered about it as I used it rarely.
The wifi initially was working fine, but few days ago it just refuse to turn ON.
When tried to turn ON the wifi using ON/OFF slider it hangs up showing pale blue color & comes back to OFF state.
The exact same thing happens to the Bluetooth slider as well. (See attached screenshot)
Searched in some forums & see many people faced similar problems with their device as well.
However no one have given proper solution for it.
Tried everything from Re-boot, Factory Reset & Phone repair option using PC Comparison...None have worked to resolve the problem.
Some people say it is hardware issue & needs replacement of device however others say they had same problem come back even in replaced phone as well.
There was something mentioned about region code reset mentioned here
android.kul.is/2013/09/sony-xperia-zr-wifi-problem.html
but it looks unverified.
PLEASE provide solution for this issue.
Thanks in Advance.

There are other people who have similar issues, including me. Symptoms vary, but ultimately we are unable to use wifi and BT.
I have an additional issue with no USB connection to PC

Will downgrading work?

One of my friend is using the same phone for over a year now & have not upgraded to Kitkat & never had any issue.
Do you think downgrading the phone from Kitkat to JelllyBean will resolve this?

Don't know. People say that things work igf you poke the phone at right places. (is the ZR a human to get excited when fingered right?)
I had some success doing it and wifi worked for a few hours. This is obviously a hardware issue.

It's a hardware fault. There's a flex cable attached to the motherboard that comes loose and this leads to bluetooth and WIFI problems. Bluetooth seems to be the thing that goes first which is what you've seen people complaining about.
You can fix (at least temporarily) by pushing the flex cable in.
1. turn off phone
2. take out battery
3. carefully peel up black adhesive tape that was underneath battery. You only need to peel up top right corner near battery connection.
4. Underneath you'll see flex cable going into main body toward camera.
5. Carefully push this in or get something very thin and flat and carefully slide in under flex cable toward camera.
6. Reassemble and see if it worked.
I haven't had bluetooth in ages. Then my 2.4 WIFI dropped out like yours and I could only use 5G WIFI. FM radio also stopped working. I looked at the disassembly manual and worked out it must be that flex cable as pushing in the body below the flash fixes bluetooth/WIFI/Radio temporarily. I tried pushing flex cable in and voila FM Radio and WIFI started working. A bit more wriggling and bluetooth came back on.
However, it seems to keep coming loose again and so I'm going to have a go disassembling fully soon to see if I can make a permanent fix. Just waiting on replacement glue strips from China for underneath the screen.
It's just a poor quality connector that comes loose. It would be an easy fix if you could access the insides but because it's waterproof the only way to get in is removing screen etc.

Ok. Bad news sorry.
I opened up the phone and had a go reconnecting the flex cable. It didn't fix Bluetooth.
It did fix the 2.4g wifi but only temporarily again.
I think it must be a problem on the motherboard.
Sorry. I really thought I'd figured it out.

sad
:crying::crying:
I felt light of hope but all in vain. I knew that it has a motherboard problem that cant be fixed. Sometimes the phone gets restarted several times it self to activate 2.4 Ghz wifi. It is mother board problem. now the only way of using wifi is either purchasing 5GHz wifi router or creating 5Ghz wifi hotspot through pc or any andorid cellphone.

you should try flashing last version of 4.3 n see if BT n WiFi work as u want

Already tried. It's a hardware problem.

Actually I have another idea. I've noticed that the second Mic doesn't work very well. There's two circuit boards inside, one with Mic and other stuff on it and then the main motherboard. They have two contact points that are just touch contacts, not hard connections. There's shiny metallic squares that make contact. I wonder if they're the issue? It would explain why pressing in that place under the flash activates Bluetooth. However when I looked at them when open I couldn't figure out a way to press them together any closer. I'm going to have another go later today.

In saying that, they're nowhere near the Bluetooth antenna. The Bluetooth antenna is actually under the top left corner of the phone when looking from battery side. You can access it by increasing the torx screw and prying up the waterproof cover. The cover has some glue stuff underneath to keep waterproof.

Removing not increasing torx. Stupid autocorrect.

Ummm I just flashed stock 4.2 and wifi is fine. 4.3 wifi is dead. 4.4 is dead. What did they change at 4.3?
Bluetooth still not working on 4.2.

Oh I don't know. 2.4 now working fine after flashing 4.4 again.
It's too unpredictable. However, Bluetooth is definitely dead on mine.

wifi sometimes gets connected for few hours. After that it again dies

That is work for me
Same problem with me bro.Then i will flash my phone with flashtools and then its works fine

Ok I've figured out the Bluetooth
Just like the WiFi the problem is a poor connection to the bottom board which is free to float around. It was an Idiot who designed this connection, bottom board should have been sitting on plastic shelf or spacers.
I've attached two pictures showing the pin 1 that needs to contact the conductive plate 2.
I fixed by placing small stacks of the screen adhesive under the four corners of the floating bottom board 2.
This forces it up to make a better connection with top board 1.
Obviously you need to remove screen to do this.
However, it may be possible to fix by jamming a small rigid piece of plastic in the top of micro usb slot above the jack as that's the corner of top board that needs to be forced down.
Another alternative maybe to open the corner from the back and try and force the bottom board against the top. There's two screws and some prying to do there.
Also, in addition to the adhesive spacers, I suggest placing some copper tape on the conductive square (2) to improve reliability of the connection. Similarly with the wifi squares which are on opposite side and corner of floating bottom board (2) to the bluetooth square.
My Bluetooth and wifi are now fixed. Yay.

Note 4 Wifi problem

I recently got my note 4 screen replaced. While i was using the phone while still cracked the Wi-Fi worked fine. After getting my phone from the repair shop, the s pen was glued inside the phone , the screen was slightly popping out and the Wi-Fi was messed up. I couldn't get any signal unless im very close to my Wi-Fi router. I take the phone back to the repair shop and explained everything. Once I got the phone back, everything was fixed but the Wi-Fi problem was still there. I tried factory resetting the phone but that didn't work. I would like a solution to this. Thanks.

To me it sounds like the repair shop owes you a new phone ha. No seriously though, if you had all those issues after the first repair, especially the glued spen, I would to the phone back and make damn sure I didn't leave until it was exactly the way it was when you took it except with a shiny new screen.

Rog 3 Strange wifi problem?!

So I am facing strange wifi problem let me explain
Wifi works fine for some time then it goes to limited connection after that it goes off I need to restart the device many many times to make it work again and when I get the bug I see some strange logcat attached below anyone can understand what's wrong and where is the driver path because sometimes everything works fine and sometimes it's not

Update: it was hardware issue and probably not gonna be easy to believe what was causing this: I got this phone second handed so I thought I should check the motherboard removed back cover and opened screws and checked phones wifi worked like a charm! I was confused then I made everything back as before and problem came up again!! I was so confused now after a day of thinking I thought it was about the screws on the motherboard cover so I opened them little bit and checked again wifi works pretty fine now so if I tightened the screws like factory it made the wifi screw up but opening the screw in medium level wifi went good 4 hours now and Everything works fine I will update after few days again
