[Q] D3 Wifi will not turn on, help?

Title pretty much says it all, everytime I turn wifi on, it tells me it's turning on then after a while it'll say disconnecting, then turning off and repeat teh cycle. I have tried restarting, I am rooted but it had this problem before root. Also, please dont just respond "take it to verizon" cuz they won't like my root.

Sounds like a hardware problem. Has it ever worked?

Network issue? It might have a limited connectivity situation going on and trying to continuously authenticate with your router.
have your checked router settings?

Yeah, it used to work fine, could it be an app I downloaded, or some superuser privelages messing it up? My phone used to freeze regulrly when too many apps requested superuser privs. No sure if same issue...

Is it possible to try connecting to a different network and see what happens? My D3 did the same thing and it turns out I just needed to reboot my router. I figured it out by going up to Starbucks where the phone connected just fine.

Definitely hardware. I had the same problem on my previous stock droid 3. Just went out one day. Took it to verizon and they sent me a replacement. Unroot and get a new one.
Also, gps stopped working around the same time. I wonder how widespread faulty hardware is now considering a lot of people with gps problems and if they might see wifi failing soon..

Data issues

About 2 days ago Cox and Facebook wouldn't work. This morning play store wouldn't load and neither would coc. Everything works on wifi though could this be caused by throttling as I'm on unlimited with 4 gigs used or does this sound like something else. I've already done a factory reset and problem still persist. Thanks for the help

Well for your first problem they have a little blue pill for that.
For all the other issues have you checked your APN settings? If you have and they are correct, then you need to call your carrier because that's on their end.

Wifi calling up date this morning

Any problems taking this up date.

I have tried this the past couple of days from different location where WiFi is available. People tell me I sound like I am in a tunnel, so much for this update, everything else seems fine...

I have been using this wifi calling from my home wifi without issue every one that I have talked to said call quality is good.

I reverted back to NAF and used Kies to update to NC6. Also, from my home I disabled IPV6 in my router and now everyone I talk to states the phone sounds great! I guess maybe some settings in hotspots makes a difference...

My phone would not take the OTA. I ODIN'ed NC6 and that worked.
I had to call Sprint to get Wi-Fi Calling activated. Afterwards, it works just fine.

I've got NAF and root plus I've removed some system apps. Phone will not take ota. If I use odin to go to NC6 will my wife lose all her programs and data? I'm an htc person and this samsung stuff is all new to me.

I downloaded NC6 from Sammobile and installed with Odin without wiping (dirty flashed) and lost NO data. Just had to reroot and reload TWRP. Booted up and everything was there.....

Waze issue

Is anyone else having Waze issues with their Note 8(N950F)? I thought it was Mylink in my truck that was messing up, but running it stand alone doesn't work either. It just flashes white like it wants to start up, but doesn't.
I was using Renovate ROM, but then flashed my stock back and it does the same... wondering if anyone else is having issues..

waze ? wft is that ? can you be more descriptive please ?

I think it's a map related app, tells you about traffic, accidents, or something like that. I remember accidents used to show up in Google Maps that were reported by Waze. Sounds familiar cause I remember hearing something a while back about Google buying them out.

Answering with "wtf is that?", guess you don't use it, since you don't know what app that is. Quick Google search would have told you.
But to answer your question it's a navigation app, similar to Google maps.

I Don't use it much, usually google map is enough, but it works fine on my t-mo version (SD). Did you check permissions? Maybe wipe cache and storage for waze and start setup again?

Yah, did pretty much what you just stated. I'll give it another go, after I restore to stock.. I just wanted to be sure that it does work on the note 8 and wasn't completely broken.
Appreciate it.

Correct, they bought them out and can now also be used with android auto if you have that option in your car/truck like I do(Chevy Mylink) Accidents still show up on Google maps reported by Waze.

Thanks for the info. Nope my old Tacoma don't have any of the fancy new technology. Google Maps is fine enough for me. I have a short daily commute anyway & rarely hit traffic.
But maybe on my next truck I'll give the app a try.

Yup, I really didn't pay attention to that feature when the salesman was telling me about it, got home, tried it out and was like, hell ya! [emoji2]
It's nice to have it on the 8 inch screen. I still use Google maps, it's just nice to use Waze for trips where I know how to get there so I can get reports of cops, etc..

So, I found what I was doing to make it crash on me. It would seem when I restore the app-data with titanium backup, it will crash, no matter if I wipe cache/dalv. Without restoring app-data, works fine... [emoji111]

Waze crashes on my note 8 any time I receive or make a phone call.

No luck anymore. Waze will not show up in Android Auto whatever I do. Clear apps cache, delete waze and AA and reinstall them from Play Store, no change. Waze works on its own, Android Auto works, but they don't seem to 'see' each other...

Yeah, you quoted my post before I replied with the fix. It's been working on mine now since I found out restoring with TB with data screwed it up... Good to know it's not broke on Oreo.

Apple Music Crash

Installed Apple Music and it has been working fine since launch until recently. At launch it will just crash in about a second. I've tried clearing cache and data, reinstalled, and rebooted the phone to no success.
Anyone else has/had any issues with this?

Thanks for the reply. My device is CLT-L09 UK model on EE and it's been the same firmware since launch with no updates. Like I said, it was working fine up until recently.

I have the exact same problem. Switched from an iPhone to Huawei P20 Pro. Apple Music was fine for a week and since yesterday it keeps crashing. Installed old version APKs, tried cleaning everything, even resetting the phone to factory settings although there were no firmware updates. Literally tried everything and no luck.
And that's just one of the issues I am having. Some SMS messages won't show up in the default messaging app, notifications won't show on lockscreen. Some strange OS hiccups happening all the time. The whole office here tried to enable the notification content on the lockscreen - we know where the option is - but it just doesn't work. The SMS isssue is beyond Huawei support and carrier support. And hey, we are phone reviewers, we know stuff FFS...
Anyway, joining the wagon with Apple Music crashing and hoping for some resolution.

Me too, signed up to a free 3 months a few days ago. Working well yesterday, since this morning I can't open the app.
I've uninstalled/reinstalled, cleared cache/data and nothing. EE handset too. Although didn't use the 6 months free offer from EE. I'll use that when my 3 month one expires.

Out of interest, if your having the apple music crash, do you also have the issue with Google maps? I have both! Starting to wonder if the problems are linked and I need to go for a replacement handset.

I don't have other apps crashing, just Apple Music. Used Google Maps this morning.
Also I used AM on lots of Android devices, this is the first one where it completely stopped working.

I'm using the EE 6 MTH trial and both apple music and Google maps are still working fine for me.
It could be a simple phone setting or another app conflicting with it.

It could, but nothing is fixed even after factory reset. It just happened in a slow day with no new installed apps or updates (I have just 8 apps anyway). Tried everything already. It's like it's an hardware issue...

Be worth checking with others and compare apps to see if it's that.
I installed an app similar to geekbench and it's stopped my pixel XL from switching on with the power button, i had to hard reset it to bootloader menu every time to get it going. Took some head scratching to narrow it down. Once app removed the phone was as good as new again

Yes. Although on a fresh install - I just download AM and that's it - it keeps doing it. I am now thinking of some carrier+phone related issue and will try by downgrading the carrier services, or switching SIMs...

Try going to settings, battery, app launch and set am to manual. Clear the cache etc and see if it helps. That's what mine is set to

It's a problem with Google play services. If you uninstall, then update again it will work again.

You're right, thank you. Just cleared data from Google play services and it's working again!

Happened again yesterday. Google play services issue again but wiping data means I have to set up Google pay from scratch every time. Quite annoying.

I've started having this problem now as well, so somethings not right.

Had the same issue. Deleted Google Play Services data and cache and it worked again.
