i537 on OC6 (Lollipop): Keeps forgetting Wi-Fi passwords! - Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone else having a problem with Wi-Fi remembering passwords after turning Wi-Fi OFF and then back ON? I looked at my /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf file, and it keeps resetting itself (blanking out) when Wi-Fi is turned back on.
I have to re-enter my wi-fi passwords every time I turn it off and back on... needless to say, it's annoying as hell.
any ideas?

I have that too but also: restarting phone/wifi takes 4-5 minutes before is on. So if turn wifi off by accident and turn it on, it takes 4-5 minutes to come back on again. Salem when I change batteries and start the phone again. You ha be that too?

Data Connect / Disconnect - repeat over and over

For some reason, starting this morning (have had tilt for couple months) the data is disconnecting and reconnecting all day.
It generally just stays connected all day. I think this is sucking battery life down.
Tilt flashed with HTC ROM
Any ideas ?
Thanks !
UPDATE : it's doing it every 30 seconds, by my count.
UPDATE #2 : it was emoze doing it, turned off "auto fix connection" and it's back to normal. not sure how that got turned on.

[Q] Data Disconnect & Can't Reconnect Issue

Hey Guys,
Got my brand new GS5 on Tuesday this week but I've run into a pretty major data connection issue and I'm unable to identify a root cause for it.
Essentially, when I leave my phone on overnight I wake up with no data connection. The wifi is disconnected, and even though my phone shows it is picking up the network, I can't load any sites or do anything using LTE. Additionally, the wifi isn't only disconnected, the wifi function is literally turned off. When I try to toggle wifi back on, the toggle goes a light shade of green, like it's stuck trying to turn back on, and never turns on.
Eventually I have to restart my phone and it works just fine again. This has happened on 2 of 3 mornings since I've purchased the phone and only seems to happen after extended down time for the phone. I'm thinking of exchanging the phone (this would be my 3rd GS5 as the first one didn't recognize any headphones.)
Any ideas? Anyone else seen this?
Thanks!

Location Shuts Itself Off. Why?

My phone has location turned on, but every few days it seems to shut itself off. I have no idea why this is happening. When it does this, I turn it back on and it will stay on for a while and then shut off again. I have been able to figure out no pattern to it.
Is anyone else having this problem? It's really just an annoyance, but I feel like my phone is defective.

Random restarts, how to narrow down the cause?

I've had my Note 8 since launch and have been putting up with random restarts every few days (even happened mid call a couple of times) so I took the plunge and factory reset it a week ago. I purposefully only restored the most essential apps to rule out any of them as the cause.
Over the last week, I've had a few restarts and noticed that they occur when the phone is coming in/out of sleep e.g.:
Taking the phone off wireless charge, the screen tries to turn on but it just turns the phone off.
Putting the phone on wireless charge, the phone goes to display the wireless charging indication halo thing then just shuts down.
When I've had a notification come through when I'm out and try to turn the screen on, then it restarts.
These have only happened once each time so I can't repeatedly try any of these out to see if I've found the cause. Has anyone else experienced anything like this or know how to narrow down what the cause could be?
