I upgraded my mom's stock VZ G2 to 4.4.2 and now every once in a while the Wifi button in the drop down panel flashes on/off continuously and doesn't connect. The only way to get it to stop is to restart the phone which helps for a few days. Worse case I can factory reset but if there's something I can try I'd appreciate it.

I've tried various ROMS, currently using the clean Tilt rom. After a hard reset I am able to turn on the WLAN and connect to my home network. After a while, I am no longer able to turn on the WLAN. If I tap the WLAN button in comm manager, I see the spinning beach ball for a few seconds, then nothing happens. The icon doesn't light up, it doesn't search for a network, no error is displayed, just nothing.
Has anyone seen this problem or have an idea of what else I can check?
Did you install any of the custom comm managers? It's pretty common that they break the WLAN enable/disable. I use the 10 button one but there is a reghack to fix it.
I just did another hard reset. Still using Helmi_Tilt_AKU.0.7.0.R1.BigStorage.exe ROM. After the initial startup and customization ran, I was able to turn on and connect the WLAN. After that, I did a power off. (Hold the power button 5 secs). When I turned the Tilt back on, I was no longer able to turn on the WLAN. I had not installed any software.
I'm reflashing with the original ATT rom. I'll report back after I've done the same test with that ROM.
I reflashed the original ATT rom. Same Issue. I think I just have a bad unit. If I power cycle. sometimes it works, sometime it doesn't. I haven't been able to get a consistent result.
Final result. It was a bad unit. I got a warranty replacement and it's working fine now.
I hope someone can help me with this, i went to bed last night and all i did was use opera and check my emails. I then pressed the top standby button to turn the screen off and went to sleep.
This morning i woke up and found i could not turn the screen back on. The home hardware button was lit up and nothing else was happening. Tried every button on it but the phone wouldn't wake up.
All I've done to the phone is hardSPL and have been running the Extreme topaz rom for the past 2 weeks happily.
I reset the rom to stock and no joy. I then did a hard reset and now its acting even weirder! After turning on, the screen is flicking between the phone dialing screen and the quick list screen constantly by itself!
Does anyone have any ideas? Its less than 3 weeks old!
So I've reflashed to stock rom and used the HARD SPL relocker and the phone is now only semi-broken. The rest of the hardware buttons are now working, but the power button at the top of the device may as well be dead. It has completely stopped working. it won't wake the device or turn off the device
This is a major bummer because the phone automatically turns the screen off after a minute and the only way I can get it back is to remove and put the battery back in. Looks like real bad luck for me. Back to warranty for repairs
Shortest time ever for a device to fail on me. Grrr.
I recently received the OTA update from T-mobile to jellybean. When I tried to turn on wifi this morning it would not connect and then said "error" when seeing it in the settings menu. After trying to reboot my phone it now automatically tries to connect to wifi eventually resulting in an error, and will turn off and then reboot any time the screen turns off whether it be manually hitting the power button or letting the screen time out. Is there a process or app I can force close/disable to reset the wifi or am I doomed to a factory reset? Thanks
phone is an att note 5, unlocked, using t-mobile sim. *Due note, I repaired the lcd on this as it was shattered, along with the back glass cover, and everything was fine until I unlocked it*
Problem is, when I stop using the phone and the phone locks or "sleeps". It seems that it doesn't turn back on or wake up (Black screen, sometimes shows blue light indicating I have a notification but still black screen) if i press any key or button. Only way for it to show anything is to hold the power button longer to fully turn it back on. Take note, this only happens when my WIFI is on and working and I stop using the phone. The time varies, sometimes it won't do it for couple minutes, sometimes a few seconds. I dont even know my phone has been turned off or dead asleep literally, as there is no sound or anything either.
This will continue to do this until when i boot the phone back up and the wifi CANT be turned on at all, letting me use just the mobile data and it wont shut off or anything and works fine except, wifi can't be turned on at all.
NOW to get my wifi back up and running, I can't simply restart, I have to fully power down, then turn on the phone. BUT again, if wifi works, it'll end up shutting off once I stop using the phone.
Any ideas? I'm on OI6 firmware, I cleared cache, tried factory reset any way you can, I've tried safe mode. Still the same problem.
I can't flash the firmware as ATT hasn't released anything soo its pretty much strictly a phone without wifi at this point.

Flash it using the option Emergency software recovery and initialization on Smart Switch.

Ya I did that when I was on OGG. Didn't help either way, but I'm guessing its the unlock itself. When I use someones ATT sim, wifi works great. When I put the tmobile sim back in, wifi can't be turned on but my mobile data works.
I got my Lg G watch R yesterday, and I used it during the whole day. At night, when I placed it in order to charge it, It appeared, that I could go from version 5.1.1 (LDZ22D) to 5.1.1 (LCA44B) so I left the Watch updating, in the Charging base, when I woke up the watch screen was off and I can turn it on, on the phone it says conected and the watch vibrates but the screen doesnt turn on, I have tried with a reset, pressing the button for 10-15 secs till it vibrates many times and nothin appears on my screen.
Does anyone know how to solve this?
Thank you
Having exactly the same problem since today
I'm having a very similar problem apart from my screen is orange and pixelated. No idea if it is permently broke or what. I am waiting for a reply from LG customer support to see what they say. Once I get it I will update if there is a solution for us
mine goes into periods of not being able to get my watch screen to turn on but still connects to my phone then when the screen finally turns on when it goes into power save mode it artifacts and looks orangish, I have to keep the "always on" on caz if the screen turns off i cant get it back on for hours.
sounds like the same as what yall are getting. I tried factory resetting a few times no luck after factory reset seems like a software problem since it works fine once the screen is on.
