Hey,
I'm on stock unrooted Oreo and my wifi has been losing signals (sometimes, it shows signals but internet doesn't work).
While any other phone nearby it works fine which means there's no wifi range issue.
It all started after Oreo update.
Anyone else facing the same? Any solution/suggestion for it, please?

So, I'll have to root it. Wipe all data etc before that?
If yes, can all apps and system settings - passwords/pin/fingerprint/ gont etc be backed up somehow (like in Google drive itself)?
yes i am also facing same issue.

No you don't have to root your device
same issue here. restart mostly fixes it. putting mobile networks on 3g does not help (in the beginning it did). the right wifi network is found, but it cannot connect. sometimes even it says disconnected. any help? (all stock here)
I have a Verizon Note 9 that recently received the Pie update. Bluetooth has always been flawless while on Oreo with this device. Now after updating with the Verizon OTA Pie update, my bluetooth pairing disappears every time I reboot or shut down and restart. I have cleared the cache partition. I also cleared the bluetooth cache for good measure but this was unsuccessful. I have seen some rumblings about this on Android Central but I have not seen any solutions. Anyone else seeing this here? Has anyone found any workarounds to this bug? I have not factory reset my device yet.
Thanks in advance.

Over on reddit someone replied to a similar post with a recommendation to reset network connections. This wipes out all Bluetooth and Wi-Fi settings. I did this and it seems to have helped for now.
Edit: The auto restart was scheduled for the weekend and my bluetooth devices were wiped out again after the restart.
Hello I had the same issues with Bluetooth devices being removed from pairings. I did the network reset and manually restarted phone with no issues but with Auto Restart it was back with the same issues.
From what I think it is, the auto Restart might be the issue for this problem.

I have never used the auto-restart feature before. All my bluetooth devices are gone after EVERY reboot. So very frustrating. I have even factory reset the entire device and set up from scratch 2x now. Problem persisted
Tonight after the CSC2 update (March 1st security patch) it finally seems to be fixed! :good:
Bluetooth pairings wiped after reboot
Hi, I have a Note 9 N960N Korean model rooted with magisk and EdXposed framework installed, and I had the same issue, after each reboot my Bluetooth pairings are all wipes out... Like Blackout, I installed the libsecure_storage from Magisk repo and it worked ?.
Thanks!
But i Tried to install with magisk module manager, but says failed not a magisk module.
This is the file I downloaded this from gethub
libsecure_storage-libsecure_storage-v2.0.zip
Hey guys,
as the title says, I can't connect to any WiFi network after updating magisk to version 19.0 or above. Did any of you have the same issue and knows a fix for this? By the way, I have the exynos variant.
I know I can resolve the issue by doing a complete reinstall, but that is not a viable fix IMHO.
Thank in advance.
Alright, so after some fiddling around I found the solution myself: Forget the WiFi (aka delete the password on your phone) you try to connect to. After that it seems to be working again
Has anyone had problems with your phone's hotspot after updating to Android 13 on ZenFone 8?
I also did a factory reset, but it didn't help.
The signal is very weak and even if you connect another device, this then can not navigate because it is internet not available.
Back to Android 12 the problem disappears.
Did you have the same problem and how did you solve it? Thank you.

I just updated to Android 13 on my Zenfone 8 today, and the hotspot settings just disappeared (at least if I navigate through the settings). If i search all settings, I can find them, but trying to turn it on does nothing.
I wonder if this is an Asus problem or an AT&T (my carrier) problem.

I did all the tests, even the hard reset, nothing to do. I also tried to change mobile operator sim. It's just a bug in Android 13.
I asked Asus support, but they didn't give any answer.
Downgraded to Android 12 and that's the only way it works.

Two questions...
1. How did you try to get help from Android support? I was thinking of trying their phone support.
2. How did you downgrade? Is there a way to do with without wiping my phone and without rooting? I found a few guides about it online and they all seemed to require wiping the phone.

Oh, and also it's now taking about 7 minutes to register on the at&t network (as opposed to instantly in Android 12). How could they possibly have let this release into the wild?

Write to Asus support, you can find it on the official page. If you have registered your product, put all the data related to model and serial, only then they will move to find a solution to this bug.
For downgrade, you will always find in the support page for your model the firmware to download. Once downloaded, enter it in the internal folder of the phone and you will see that the update notification appears above.
Click and install. Obviously you lose all the data, because it resets to the factory state.

Thanks for the info. It wasn't obvious to me about the phone resetting - for all i knew, Asus might have an intelligent downgrade process that preserved the user data. Too bad they don't.

I also had this issue of the hotspot function disappearing after the Android 13 update. I followed the step to downgrade to 12. This worked, but before I could finish setting up my phone again, it was already automatically updating to 13. I reinstalled 12, and waited to connect to wi-fi to get things restored. Shortly after connecting to wi-fi again, the 13 update started again. I paused the update and then enabled developer options and disabled automatic system updates there, but I am not able to disable auto-updates in the regular system update settings. Is root required to disable this menu option? I have not rooted my phone and would prefer not to, if possible. Any suggestions?
Edit: So far, the phone hasn't resumed the auto-update overnight or following a couple restarts of the phone. The notification remains and I occasionally get prompts to continue the paused update, but I am able to ignore them. I guess I can live with it as is, but if anybody has any other ideas, please share. Thanks.
Edit: Today, I woke to find that the 13 update has downloaded and will install on reboot. I rebooted and let it complete the update to 13. Then, I downgraded to 12 once again. This time around, the option to disallow automatic updates was not greyed-out in system update settings. I disallowed auto-updates. The notification saying the update to 13 is available remained, this time, I was able to dismiss it. I don't know what to think about the previous issues I had, but it seems to have resolved it now.

I didn't see the Andorid 13 update even before the downgrade, I searched for it and installed it if I wanted it.
Adding to my posts above from February 18:
I was able to remain on Android 12, retaining the Wi-Fi hotspot functionality, until this morning. I awoke to find a software update notification message, giving two options: update or later. The message also stated that if I pressed later, it would continue with the update in 30 minutes. I rebooted the phone, and the update notification returned, however, lacking the 30 minute warning. A short while later, the phone began to automatically download the update, despite the option in settings disallowing auto-updates being ticked. I force-stopped the system update app, and it stopped downloading the new update. After a short while, it completed the android 13 system update download anyway. I decided to give the 13 update a try again, seeing that there was a smaller update added to the Asus Bios and Firmware download page on March 16th. I proactively backed up my data, knowing that I would likely need to downgrade to 12 again shortly to regain hotspot functionality. I rebooted to apply the base 13 update; no hotspot functionality, as expected. I then downloaded and applied the March 16th (WW-33.0210.0210.269) update OTA; still no hotspot functionality. I plan to downgrade again to Android 12, but I question how long I will be able to use it before another automatic update to 13 is forced upon me by Asus. Does anyone have any advice as to how to activate the hotspot on 13 or a way to guarantee that 12 will not be auto-updated to 13?
Edit: For anyone who might be having the same issue, here is what I have tried and so far, seems to be working. After downgrading to 12, I did not connect to internet during the initial phone setup process. When I did, the phone would already start automatically downloading the 13 update even before the setup process was finished. After setup, I immediately disabled automatic updates both in the regular system settings and in developer options (after enabling these, of course). I find it interesting that before, even with these two settings to disallow automatic updates in use, the automatic update would begin. The only other step I took this time was to disable my system app for system updates per the following method. https://www.xda-developers.com/disable-system-app-bloatware-android/
I understand that this method is likely used more for added bloatware than for system apps, and I questioned at first if it would even work for a system app. Still, after disabling the system update app, it shows "disabled" under its entry in the complete app list in settings, and the system update options in the settings menu are not visible anymore. The main "system" header in the settings menu does show a red dot with "1" indicating that there is something available within the submenu, but as stated there is nothing within pertaining to system updates since disabling the system update app. So far, there have been no other notifications for the 13 update as before. This system update app is easy to reenable, as shown in the link above, so if I want to download the system update later on, it is no problem. I will add to this post if this method fails, but so far, so good.
Hello,
I was trying to make a bank app work on my phone, which suddenly stopped working after an update. I had Shamiko+HideMyApplist modules installed on Magisk+LSposed. I'm not sure if i disabled the wrong app or something, but now my S20 FE 5G is rebooting every few minutes.
I was on OneUI 5.1 Feb Security patch. I tried upgrading to latest(March) security patch. Also tried uninstlling all 'hiding' apps and modules. But nothing helped. Phone works fine in safemode, so it doesn't seem like a hardware issue.
I found system_server_wtf files in /data/system/dropbox which point to different services like CustomFrequencyManagerService, WindowManagerService etc. Managed to somehow get logcat through adb through. Attaching all said files.
Can someone please help introubleshooting this issue? I can try to provide any more info if required, but can you guide me in the right direction here? I'm unable to use the phone for more than a couple minutes before it reboots again everytime.
Just flash stock rom with odin and never root your phone. Or atleast don't update your phone after it is rooted.
