It's completely normal for WiFi to be turned off when hotspot is activated.
This phone can only do one task at a time since it only has one WiFi chipset built in.
Newer models like S6 and above can multiplex both connections at the same time.
Edit: I solved it by going back to Stock rom, Android 2.2.1 Froyo. It didn't happen anymore, so it must be some software related issue which remained on the phone even after fully wipe including the OS. Now I will just need to root the phone again and flash custom roms on it.
Hi there,
When I bought my Samsung Galaxy S back then it came with Android 2.2 Froyo (or it was Eclair, don't remember), which I updated to 2.3 Gingerbread. Since then I flashed newer Android roms found on this forum. I never had any problems. So I had ICS (various versions), JB (various versions) and KitKat (I think I was on 4.4.0 and later on 4.4.4)
So up to Android KitKat 4.4.0 I used it on daily basis but after I got a new phone I didn't use it much anymore (I would only turn it on to make sure the battery won't die). But recently I turned it on, I can do things on the phone but when I leave the phone on standby it would eventually reboot on its own.
I tried installing an older version of KitKat. I picked one from an older date, which happened to be 4.4.2. The same issue happens there too. I just installed Android 6.0.1. made by Full Advance. and the issue happens there too.
My phone has an SD card inserted but no SimCard, anything else you need to know just ask.
I would like to keep Android 6.0.1 from Full Advance. It seems a fast and stable rom. It feels faster than the KitKat 4.4.4 I had.
I would be glad if the issue on the self reboot would be solved. I want to use this phone as a MP3 player. I really like AudioFX.
Any help appreciated, thanks!
Hello I have the SM-G900A and I have been having some trouble, so here is the story. So as we all know the only major carrier that hasn't received the marshmallow update for the galaxy S5 is AT&T. I got really irritated and wanted to root my phone and download a rom that had marshmallow on it for my S5. In order to root my phone I had to downgrade my version of android to 4.4.2 or lower to use towelroot. I found a stock version of android of 4.4.2 on this website and flashed it through odin and got stuck in a boot loop. I then proceeded to clear cache and reset my phone to try another rom. I tried three roms that were android version 4.4.2 and 5.0. Then I decided to try and flash a rom that was the same version as what I started out with and it worked. By the fourth try I got out of the boot loop but my phone was laggy and buggy unlike before. I also noticed that I had a different older default keyboard and I had the S finder and quick connect feature under the brightness scale in the notification panel. Something I didn't have before on my original phone to start. So I realized it wasn't the same AT&T software I started with even though the rom said it was for AT&T. Also the AT&T OTA updates didnt work. I would download them but every time I tried installing them it would say booting in recovery mode in the top left corner and get to 25% then fail. The ironic part about this a couple weeks after I did this AT&T announced that they were pushing marshmallow out to the galaxy S5. So can someone please help me get back to the original version for my phone and be able to get my OTA updates. Also I tried using Sam Mobile and samsung Kies and neither of those worked.
Hi folks,
I know there have been other threads on this, but I've read everything I can find and still can't figure it out.
I have a factory stock AT&T Note 3 N900A that has never had root or anything else attempted on it. I've had it for about 2 years. When I got it, it had 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 on it. While I've had it, I have updated only through OTA when they were available. It has been running OC1 for the past year or so without a problem.
My son has now moved to another phone and I took this Note 3 today and did nothing more than a clear cache/factory reset from the recovery menu. Phone came up clean into the AT&T setup under lollipop OC1 with everything fine except now the back/soft button doesn't work. Menu soft and Home button work fine. Nothing but a factory reset????
I've since pulled down NC2 and NL1 and loaded them via Odin. Under NC2 and NL1, the back button again works just fine... so not a hardware issue. I've reloaded OC1 (from the file made available by Walter White - thank you!) and the back button stops working again.
I'm now in the process of going through them in order one more time... downgraded to 4.4.2/NC2 - back button works again, upgrading to 4.4.4/NL1 - back button still working. Now moving up to 5.0/OC1 again (in process and taking the time to post this message being the pessimist that I am). ...and same thing. Boots up into 5.0/OC1 and all looks good EXCEPT THE BACK BUTTON DOESN'T WORK AGAIN :-/ ugh...
Assuming this again leaves me with a non-functional back button under lollipop... It's not working again... Can anybody tell me what I am missing? The phone was used with OC1 from the AT&T OTA update for over a year without this problem. I would love to understand what makes it basically "change it's mind" after a factory reset was done.
Thanks in advance for any help and sincere apologies if I missed the answer to this in all of my research.
Best regards,
rjb
I was in the same boat as you, had a Note 3 that was updated to 5.0, back button worked fine. Bought a replacement Note 3, back button worked on 4.4, then stopped once I upgraded to 5.0, but magically started working again once I downgraded to 4.4. I ended up returning the replacement for a new Note 3 that had 5.0 pre-installed, back button working this time around. Really weird that an official software update could cause such a problem on certain phones. I guess your best option is buying a new Note 3 with 5.0 pre-installed. Best of luck
I'm currently on G900a w/ PA2 Lollipop firmware, and like pretty much everyone else I want root. Apparently the current Kingroot method stopped working so what is currently being worked on? Should I stay on Lollipop or go to Marshmallow? My battery life sucks so I want to upgrade, but if a root is incoming for lollipop I would gladly hold back.
Thanks.

Don't know about others, but some of us have been working on 5.x (because it seems doable).
I got root via Kingroot before they shut it down, & I'm trying to find a way to share it.
A lot of people have tried, so don't hold your breath.
However, if it's battery life that's your main interest, use EZ Disabler-2.5.5P.apk (Google is your friend) to disable anything you don't want or need.
I disabled about 80% of the stuff on my phone, & it was stable & really fast.
You really only need to disable the apps that automatically run in the background.
Between EZ Disabler and configuring battery sucking apps correctly (such as automatic updates), I managed to get phenomenal battery life without being rooted.
Hope that helps ...
