Love the device, but this one is going in for an exchange. Not sure if it will resolve the issues I had, but my phone was behaving badly. I unlocked and rooted it about 10 minutes after I got it, using the Chainfire method here..
1) WiFi reception is awesome, except it drops the connection constantly! I have an entry level commercial AP (Unifi) and the thing is awesome. All kinds of devices connected to it, but this Moto can't stay connected. From the logs on the controller, it appears to be switching channels constantly. Wifi goes from all bars to bars with x to off.
2) Reboot results in bootloop. On more than one occasion, I had to reset the device multiple times to get it to boot. This morning, I could not get it to complete a boot at all. I've since reflashed the Tmo stock ROM.
3) Lookout randomly comes back! Froze it with TiBu, stop and disable in app manager... nothing kills it! Reason 1 for root!
The WiFi issue is a killer. Again, I am going to take this one in and exchange it for another and hopefully the WiFi issue is gone. I think I'll need to restrain myself from rooting until I pass the exchange date.
I had similar issues what i did was flash the stock boot img then do a factory reset and reroot and everything is good now

Thanks! I will give that a shot before I take it in.
I've been back on stock with unlocked bootloader for a day and change, and I still get WiFi drops. It seems to happen more with BT on, but they certainly haven't gone away. I've changed a bunch of things on my AP to try and eliminate them too, but it hasn't helped much. I may try disabling the A/C radio (which fixes it for some), but that's hardly an answer. I am starting to think that this is a Nougat or a Qualcomm issue.
Seems like a hardware issue. If it was a software issue then it would affect more than just you. So far you are the only person on various forms I go to having issues.

I actually have this issue with another device too , so I think it's either an Android, AP or a Qualcomm thing. Some have said turning off the A/C/N radio helps, but that's not a "solution."

My first day with the Droid bionic... it's my first non-Samsung Android phone, so I'm not sure what to think.
In the midst of trying to figure it out and get it all setup (rooted, Titanium Backup restore, apps only), and my data drops out. Apparently for good.
I had solid 4G data when I first opened up the phone this afternoon. I ran some speed tests and switched to WiFi. I left the house a bit later and realized I couldn't open a webpage. I noticed the WiFi was still on, so I shut it off, but the cellular data never came back.
Tried putting it in airplane mode and back, rebooted (several times), tried the data toggle on the power control widget, I even forced the phone into CDMA only mode (and back).
I'm stumped. Has anyone else seen this? Is there any kind of possibility that restoring apps or rooting could have anything to do with it? I have not seen this problem over many a ROM on the Vibrant, and then the Droid Charge. I even loaded a GB ROM on the Charge and restored all my apps without issue.
Any help would be appreciated. I'd really not like to have to wipe the phone and start over.
I had something similar happen although I'm not rooted yet. For 3 days I was golden. Then I installed switchpro widget to see how the 3G/4G toggle worked with the Bionic and it made my mobile connectivity wonky. I uninstalled it. It still is wonky today.
LTE is there then goes away a reboot corrects it until it goes away. 3G is exactly the same. Turn on WIFI and the LTE disappears. It's supposed to stay up just turn white like it did for 3 days prior to installing then uninstalling switchpro. It could just be coincidence with the switchpro thing idk. I'm not all that knowledgeable with APN's, but after some research somehow I believe mine got mixed up via switchpro. Getting a new Bionic tomorrow.
Well, no data at all. If I'm outof wifi area, I have no data access. Only phone calls and text.

I'd get another one then. Or if you don't want to do that get a different brand
I think I'll just try a hard reset. I'm sure it was something I did with Titanium backup... I'll just have to figure out what.
Or you could try a factory reset to see if that solves it
EDIT: I see you thought of that 1st
Something similar happened to me. The only way I could fix it was by restarting the phone until the data crashed again. I solved this problem (or I think I did, still testing it) by removing all my widgets. I have a strong suspicion it was a widget doing this (specifically the AIX weather widget, but I am not sure yet).
So, I suggest that you remove all of your widgets and restart your phone and see what happens.
The hard reset did the trick. I think maybe it was me restoring the [SMS/.../APN] setting (can't remember the middle setting) in TB. I didn't do it this time and all seems well. It was green, so I thought 'why not'.
I'll see how it goes from here on out.
I'm thinking its got to be something related to wifi. every time I disconnect from wifi I can't connect to data unless I reset my phone.

Glad to hear that. Factory reset did not fix it for me. Will have a new tomorrow
I am also having this problem. If Motorola still used vanilla android this wouldn't be an issue. I hate when manufacturers feel it necessary to fix something that isn't broke. I am sad to see how many people are experiencing this problem because if it was isolated to my phone and a few others then a warranty replacement would do the trick. I now feel like I wasted 380 on phone and accessories. I placed a call to Verizon tech support and their as clueless as usual. I hope an update is released soon that fixes this issue (or a custom rom). I remain hopeful that we start seeing good things on our Motorola devices now that google owns moto.
NOTE: I wish people would start reading through existing threads before starting new ones. I started a thread to this effect back on day 3. Several others have started threads to this effect as well. I think there are now 4 or 5 on this very same subject.

I complained about this issue originally in the MavRom thread but was advised this isn’t a known issue with the ROM, so after more troubleshooting, here I am. This is the chain of events:
- Bought the Droid 3 unlocked so I could use it on Rogers
- Instantly flashed CM9, lived with the various issues hoping they’d be resolved soon
- They weren’t, so I started looking for a permanent GB rom. Tried MavRom
- Noticed a day or two later the following issue:
Wifi will just randomly encounter an error and turn off. It typically happens without me noticing, and then I’ll be at home and notice I’m on data when I should be on wi-fi. If I try to turn it on using the power widget it will briefly light up as though it’s trying to turn on, but eventually give up. If I try to turn it on through settings, where it normally would say “wifi is on” or “wifi is off”, it just says error. I used to reboot the phone to fix it, but just realized a few weeks ago that I just need to turn airplane mode on and off, then turn wifi back on.
This isn’t the worst thing in the world but it should not happen. There is also no pattern to it, or any apparent triggering event. It can happen half an hour after the last time, or it can go a whole day without happening. My phone is in essentially the same state all night while I am sleeping, so the same thing should happen every time. But sometimes I wake up and the error has occurred, other times it hasn’t.
So as I said, I complained in the MavRom thread, they insisted it wasn’t related to Maverick. So I flashed Eclipse to try it out. Right away I realized that this error was happening in Eclipse too. So, somewhere in all the clearing data and cache and flashing of ROMs, etc, I managed to wreck the wifi in a way that reflashing doesn’t appear to fix.
Realizing this, I tried to go all the way back to stock to see if that would work. I used the .906 to .890 patch (since it’s the only way to go back to .890 or at least mostly), then had to use quick unbrick to fix it when it wouldn’t start up. Everything was fine; it was a stock motobloat Droid 3 again. After a few hours of usage I was pretty convinced that the wifi error was gone.
So I installed Eclipse again. For most of the day everything seemed fine but the same problem reared its ugly head last night just like it used to. It sounds like I need to somehow update the part of the Gingerbread OS specifically related to wifi but I have no idea where to go from here. Has anyone else seen a problem like this before? Any troubleshooting advice?

I would sbf and stay on stock, if it reappears, bring it to verizon. Im afraid I've never heard of this problem before. Since it happened with 2 separate roms, it seems more like hardware. Otherwise the sbf should have fixed it.

Odd. I know that this was a problem on most ICS roms. Haven't heard of it happening on a GB rom. This happens to me on Gummy 1.2. Same symptopms: wifi kills with no cause and no pattern. I toggle airplane and keep browsing as I only turn on wifi when I am actively using it.

Hello!
Wifi and Bluetooth aren't working anymore When you try turning them on, them just turn off immediately. It has been going on after KitKat 4.4.3 update.
It's the same situation this member described in this thread: >>>>http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/wifi-bluetooth-issues-t2808419<<<<

and the solution for this would be replace the WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin in the Persist folder. As my phone is not rooted, it seens impossible I had accidently deleted this file, right? Anyway, the Persist folder of my phone is empty. It's because my phone is not rooted so it doesn't show the files inside the folder? At the wlan/prima, there are the following files:
WCNSS_cfg.dat
WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini
WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin (that's the file, right?)
WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv_calibration.bin

Is there some possible solution or I really need to send my phone to technical support?

There is no way to prove that persist is vacant as you are unrooted. It is most likely a coinsident hardware failure. But still possible.
Go warranty replacement. Rsd restore is no help as persist is not in the XML.

For first, thank you for your concern.
I see. It's a poor situation we have been seeing with others Moto X owners, especially after 4.4.3 update. Considering it's not a hardware issue and 4.4.4 update release (my phone is still in 4.4.3), is the 4.4.4 update worth it? I have been reading about increasing battery consumption after 4.4.4 update. I also have read about restoring the stock rom could be a worth try, even if your phone has never been rooted. What you say?

Correct.
I've sent my phone warranty. I'm a previous contact they told me it's probably a hardware issue. The battery comsumption has increased a lot and the explanation is that phone is constantly searching for wifi/bluetooth. Is it possible even with hardware failure?
When I get my phone back tell you what was it's problem and the possible solution.
Wifi and bluetooth had started working from nothing. Then, it stopped again. And it went this way several times since. Now, it's working properly, but it may stop anytime. Could it still be a hardware issue? I just have updated 4.4.4 yesterday. In one of the situations, I found the message "supplicant status: scanning".

Well, wifi and bluetooth aren't working anymore since my last post. There's a big battery drain - something like 60% of battery life in 3 hours with phone - supposedly - in sleep mode, even when it is in airplane mode. It seems the system tries to find wifi and bluetooth. When I see my battery status, Android OS and Android System processes are draining more battery life than screen itself. Could it be a hardware failure even if wifi and bluetooth get back working sometimes?
I think I'll buy a lower cost android phone if I decide sending my Moto X warranty. It's complicated staying without a smartphone during 20~30 days.
I appreciate you all for the help and considerations.

Have you managed to get an update? I think I am having the same exact problems.
Not a developer device so can't unlock the bootloader
Not rooted. \persist\ is empty if that would make any difference at all.
Surprisingly once when I restarted the phone in bptools menu options on the boot menu, the phone came up fine and I was able to turn on my wifi and bluetooth. After about 10 minutes, the phone restarted on it's own and ever since they won't turn on.
Did a full wipe, FDR and also wiped cache but still the same now. Booting using BPTools menu option doesn't help any more.
For the last couple weeks, my phone is just guzzling data on 4G. Having a wifi would help. Please don't suggest me to do a warranty repair That is what I might end up doing in about two weeks. The unlocked device was bought in India but I am now abroad.

For first, thank you for reminding me about this thread. I bring bad news for you, unfortunately. It's 99% a hardware failure. In my case, it really was one. After 25 days, my phone was back from warranty with a new wifi/bluetooth hardware.
My phone was behaving the same way as yours. Sometimes the wifi was back working for a while, then my phone restarted and wifi was unavailable again. So, i recommend you send your phone warranty as soon as possible. Good luck!

wifi and bluetooth not turning On FIX
Hello everybody.i use a moto x (xt1052) 4.4.4 kitkat not rooted.
A week ago started having problems with wifi communication not turning on and a couple of days later bluetooth couldnt locate any connections
I fixed these problems by switching to ART Runtime from the developer settings.this will reboot your phone and starts upgrading your apps .after that wifi and bluetooth work fine .(for now..)
I am also wondering if anyone has any random reboots or its just my pocket..
Hope it helps for you too.
Cheers,Stelios
Updated: WiFi and Bluetooth stopped working again.leaning more on software issue than hardware.

Nope, that didn't help me at all. I think at least my issue is hardware related. Giving the phone for warranty repair on Thursday, let's see what happens.
Update
Been to the service center a week ago. Apparently the moment I explained my issue, they said it is an hardware issue and so the board needs a replacement. Got my phone back and it has been a week with no issues. Fingers crossed...
Looking for help on this one. Every 3-5 days my Ultra gets into a state where no voice can be heard by either myself or the person on the other phone when a call is made or received, but I can hear the ring tone if I'm calling prior to the person answering, and my phone rings as normal if someone calls me. But when answering the call it's just silence on both sides. A reboot fixes this only for it to happen again 3-5 days later, requiring another reboot.
At first I assumed it was a corruption of the rom I had installed, so I flashed back to my stock image with Odin, including a fresh VOD CSC install. Unfortunately, it's still happening after this. Speaking as an engineer, it's unusual but not unheard of for a device to have a hardware issue of this type and it be rectified each and every time with a reboot, that would normally point to a software/firmware error of some sort. However, the fact it's continuing to happen after a completely fresh re-flash of stock Android suggests my worst fears that it is hardware. I could try some things, like not installing Magisk or even re-locking my bootloader, but I don't believe either would be a factor. I only used Magisk for rooting and don't install additional modules. I've also ruled out the sim card or sim slots by swapping to an e-sim, only for it to still happen.
Anyway, any suggestions would be welcome, especially if you have suffered something similar. There is an easy fix, which is to schedule a reboot every morning at around 3am, but I'd sooner not have to do this before working out what the underlying cause is.
I don't have a solution for you but I just wanted to share that I am having the same issue. But I'm not using Magisk and not unlocked, or rooted. The only thing I did was flash stock Samsung and disable some bloat.
I was having the issue the other night (for the second time) when calling my carrier (AT&T) about an order. I just assumed it was them at first. I disabled wifi calling (after them not hearing me several times) then tried again and it worked.
Were you using wifi calling at the time? I haven't been able to reproduce the issue yet so I don't know if disabling wifi calling had anything to do with it working.
Just to clarify, you say you're using Magisk but you're not unlocked or rooted? That isn't possible, but perhaps you just worded it wrong and you meant you're not using Magisk.
Funny you should mention Wifi-Calling, when it happened a few weeks back I force closed Wifi calling in an attempt to track down any potential services that might be causing the problem. And when I did that the calling started working again without a reboot. I thought I'd tracked it down and thought I'd test it again once it happened again a few days later, I would then freeze wifi-calling (something I never use) which would hopefully stop it ever re-occurring. However, the second time I force stopped wifi-calling it didn't fix the issue.

I missed a word when I first replied. I added "not" to Magisk but you must have seen it before I fixed it.
I've had many work meetings (on phone) since then and haven't had it pop up. I haven't changed anything and even have wifi calling back on, so I'm at a loss.
OK, traced this to possibly be linked to the attached logcat. Any suggestions?
Also, contrary to my claim in the opening post, the dial tone can only be heard sometimes.
An additional oddity, whilst the fault is occurring (prior to a reboot), voice calls on WhatsApp work fine.
Perhaps a form of modem fault?
I give up on this. I flashed the stock VOD rom in Odin and relocked the bootloader to take it as close to stock as possible (minus the knox flag being tripped which is unavoidable at this point) and it still showed the issue after a couple of days. I've also disabled Bluetooth at a service level to no avail as I thought it might be a glitch with that.
It's clearly a hardware issue that will only be resolved with a logic board replacement. Which currently aren't available.
One good thing is that a full reboot isn't required to fix it, a soft reboot seems to do it. So I've got a link to do that on my home page, only takes 10-15 seconds.

Hi, sorry to re-open this old topic. My S21 has the same problem from the beginning, but I have the stock rom. Did you get this log using *#9900# tool? Which log level did you use? Which file is the attached one? BTW, I'm almost sure that it's an hardware failure, did you solve it? Thanks

Hey all! New here. I just soft bricked my phone, i woke up to it not booting. I tried various fw in Odin, but no success. This is my day to day use phone, I don't have anything else, so I'd like to make it work again ASAP, hopefully without factory reset.
Hi
what manipulation did you do to get there before flashing a lot of stuff in odin?
I've been just pressing the buttons all around, then I read about Odin, so I tried it. Now my battery died, let's see if I can get to wipe the cache...
Update: no success. Is there a way to get it into recovery? the old volume up+bixby doesn't seem to work.
Sometimes its because the recovery itself is error so that button combination is not working..
Charge your battery until full, then factory reset it with odin, let see if that works
But before you do that make sure you download correct fw that match your phone model. dont try all fw available there, make sure you download fw for SM N950F..
Well it worked and it broke again... Back to square one.
Your infos are kinda vague.
Did you modify your phone and it got triggered by user-action, or did it hit the fan by itself?
I think it was a suicide attempt, I never flashed before, only major thing was just a battery change in a samsung service last summer. It's weird, because since last time it turned on again, but seems like the wifi didn't want to communicate, plus as I look back, sometimes it restarted when I touched the wifi or some random setting. Somewhere else I read that it could be a motherboard failure.

This was happening to me too before my phone just started bootlooping to recovery
Well it's been a few months, so a little update: it still reboots sometimes all out of nowhere, but now I have a different problem: tried to log into a mcdonalds app and it says it detects a security issue. Not that i'll cry over it, but definitely interesting. Anyway, I really think this is some sort of hardware issue related to wifi, because every time it started rebooting, about one out of two times i was turning the wifi on or off. Also sometimes the wifi just wasn't available or working, strengthening my thought. As I read on other threads, this is probably some manufacturing/serial issue, that just happens to come forth after all these years. Probably the last time I bought a Samsung...
