So I have had my Note 3 for over a year now and it seems every 2 months something happens that my wifi gets screwed up where it is working, stops working doe like 30 to 60 seconds then starts working again.
Now I have read the countless threads and articles about how disabling the ability to switch from Mobile data to wifi helps with this. However it doesn't work for me. It is soo strange.
The only fix for me is to install a different rom and it works correctly for a while, then goes bad again.
Anyone have any advice on this one as I am stumped.
Thanks!

I know that there are random reboot/freeze issues with this phone but I have noticed that my issue seems a bit different.
My phone goes into reboot loops and freezing only when I turn on the WiFi. I'm patiently waiting for the LG "update fix" but wanted some advice from the experts.
Im in afghanistan and only have until next week to return the phone. If it is a software issue then I dont mind waiting but if it is hardware then I dont want to get stuck with a 600.00 paperweight.
I know Im shooting in the dark but I really would appreciate some thoughts or advice.
BTW - I have had the same issues on custom ROM's and stock ROM's. I think I damn near flashed the phone with every possible thing i found on this board, haha.
well it seems like my issue is still isolated to wiFi. The phone has almost no reboots and very little freezes when WiFi is off. any ideas on if this is a possible hardware or software issue?
was it with every ROM you tried the same ?
It happens with every rom but I hate to get my hopes up but it seems to have start happening not as often. right now Im using this
[ROM][21/4-11]TK-ROM Vanilla + LG = true. v0.5.7 (Fr12)
couple of hours so far and it is better but not perfect.
Mine has just recently been randomly rebooting but was fine when I first got it. It never seems to reboot when I'm stationary only when I'm in the car or riding my bike. Twice it happened in the same location on the drive home from work which got me thinking it could be location related. The gps wasn't active at the time so I tried turning off wifi/cell tower location in the options. I managed a two hour bike ride with no reboots today whilst using gps tracking and listening to music. Yesterday the phone wouldn't go more than 10 minutes without rebooting.
Could it be bad location data in some mobile phone masts are making the phone crash due to a bug in the software?

I am trying to find out if the following is a defect in my phone or in the OS.
I need my GPS to work. Since I got my D3 I find that the GPS quits working every day or so of use. Sometimes it works longer, sometimes shorter, but usually about a day. Once it quits, I have to reboot to get it to work again. Battery pull is not needed, just standard reboot. This problem has been with me from stock all the way too current ICS alpha build.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
CM
I would get a new phone through warranty.

I have this issue too, so I doubt it is hardware.
Hmm, seems I'm going to need to get a larger consensus...
I've never had this issue.I would try restoring via sbf and setting how it goes

I'm stock, have GPS turned on all of the time, and I've never had a problem. (Well, the only time I had a problem was after I tried sleep, to see what would happen. I had to pull battery and found that GPS had been turned off.)
Hey, my wifi always goes out and needs to be restarted while using ICS. at first it would happen like three times a day. now its a couple itmes an hour. it is very very very annoying. does anyone know a fix for this???
I don't have this problem, but do you have a wifi-sleep timer set up? Maybe an app is doing something?
No i dont. This issue was posted before in the threads but never had a solution. I always wipe EVERYTHING so i dont know why this happens with me.

It's not just you. I get MANY wifi drops as well. I don't use it often, but when I do, I get a drop every 15 minutes or so. It happens very randomly: as in not when I'm loading a page, just randomly I'll see the logo go white then disappear.
My solution? A frustrated sigh and a switch of wifi on and off.

when using fullscreen apps and just even regular browsing its a b*tch. I tried the wifi fixer app but it didnt help. Im clueless
This has been an issue for me since the first ics rom. None since have fixed it or addressed it to my knowledge.

I did no have this problem on the AOKP 4/12 build, but do have it now on the 4/30 build. No idea why.
The audio issue is also ALOT worse for me. most of my phone calls do the silence thing where there is no audio. Today it caused me to run into alot of trouble. i hope these issues get fixed soon. I think it was the bluetooth updates in the changelog that caused the problems to occur more. As they are supposed to be bluetooth related. Unforunately i might have to go back to gingerbread
I am able to use 1x data & WIFI on ICS Rom only. Neither WiFi or Data works with Stock ROM.
Before It used to work in Stock ROM, but now it does not. So I am sticking to CM9
I have this issue too but I use juice defender. I only really use it for 2 functions
1. Enable WiFi when I'm home (constantly on) and disable when I'm away
2. Turn off data at night from 1am to 6am
when i flashed ICS the effectiveness is shady. A lot of times when i turn on the screen wifi is disabled but will reenable after a few seconds during the day. also at night sometimes it won't disable until later than 1am and will randomly enable and disable at like 4 am or something. sucks because i'll randomly get a bunch of notifications for emails twitter etc. and it will wake me up.
Seem to be having an issue that I can't take care of that I've tried everything that I know that I believed could be causing the drops. The issue I'm having is any time I turn the screen off while driving my GPS will lose its connection after about 5 minutes. I was also losing data so I figured it was an application causing that issue with that problem I got resolved by removing the battery saving application called battery guru. That was actually shutting my data connection off with my screen off so I got rid of that completely but I still seem to have the problem with my GPS drops. My data stays up just fine but it seems like clockwork every 5 minutes the screens off I'm driving and I get that voice GPS connection lost. All I have to do is click the back button in Google Maps and reload my route and BAM its right back up and going. Now I can leave the screen on and I will not lose the GPS signal whatsoever until I turn the screen off. Have went through all the settings that I know of and of course the only battery saving application that I had installed and I can't seem to find the issue. I also use the search tool and couldn't find anyone else with a problem like mine. Does anyone have any suggestions or have seen this on their device? I'm beginning to think this may be a hardware issue I'm not sure. But if it was a hardware issue you would think I would be losing the connection all the time not with just the screen off which leads me back to a software issue. I'm going to keep freezing apps with titanium to see if I can find another culprit. I just don't have anything else installed that should have anything to do with that. Thanks in advance for any help for insight you may have.

Is called a nexus. Google stock has always had that issue. Unfortunately nexus users spend most of the time locked in a basement and never happen to use gps, therefore they will say their gps works just fine.

Really? Interesting. Don't remember that on my galaxy nexus but don't know that I ever used the gps honestly. Anyone else confirm this?

My GPS on my Nexus 6 is and always has been amazing. (Thanks for reminding me to compare that when I get the 6P). I use my GPS daily to keep Waze up when I drive to watch for cops, traffic, etc. Even when I know where I'm going I use it and Google play streaming over Bluetooth and my GPS keeps connection even in Manhattan.
I would recommending getting an app called GPS status, it has a few settings to keep GPS active etc, which should solve your problem. However I have no clue what could cause something like that...

Several months ago out of nowhere the radio stopped working on my XT1921-3. When the phone initially booted up, I could see it get a 4g signal and then switch to no signal. I checked the sim and did some other troubleshooting but in the end I had to wipe the phone and flash the stock firmware to get service back.
This has happened several times since then so I've been trying different things to fix it. Last time it happened, I restored a backup of my data partition and that fixed the problem. So I have limited the issue to something data related and not system or firmware.
I don't know if it's a rogue app causing the issue or what. I guess that will be my next set of tests.
Has anyone else had this problem?
I have a XT1921-3 and i have experienced my data cut out (for 5-10 minutes) (or slow to some ungodly low speed that isn't good for anything..) several times over the last two months however my bar and in settings it says im still connected to LTE and in a few signal apps it says im online but there's clearly no data or if so it's dang sure not anything close to LTE. Sorry if this lil paragraph is worded a little different. Been working that OT.
Edit
Added: I just toggle airplane mode and reboot but sometimes that doesn't even work. It's like when it's out it's out and signal isn't reading true.

Thanks for your post. I managed to update the E5 Factory Restoration thread with the latest firmware package for the E5 Play and I have not experienced the problem since. You might want to head over to that thread and download the latest. It might fix your issue as well.
