[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksutherland91:
I have a stock unrooted Verizon Galaxy S5. For several months my phone has been plagued by several issues at startup. Whether I reboot the phone or start it up after the battery has died, it always enters an odd state immediately after loading and seems to get stuck in this state for an undetermined and variable amount of time (anywhere from a few seconds or minutes to hours or even overnight).

While in this state, this is what happens:

1. Screen stays on. Once I unlock the phone, the screen stays on. The side button doesn't do anything to lock the phone or turn off the screen. Holding down the button, however, still triggers the power menu. The screen timeout never triggers, even though it should turn off the screen after 2 minutes of inactivity.

2. WiFi and Bluetooth turned off. Even if they were turned on before I powered down the phone, they are not enabled when the phone first boots up. I can manually turn them on but the WiFi will not connect to a network, even if one is available. It may show it is connecting to the network, but it gets stuck at "Checking the quality of your internet connection" and continues to use the 4G network for data connectivity. This happens no matter what WiFi network I am within range of, so it's not an issue with the network or router itself. If I am not near a network at all I will still experience the other problems of not being able to lock the phone, etc.

3. Startup applications don't load. I have Tasker on my phone, but it doesn't load and show it's notification bar icon.

Otherwise, I can use the phone normally and open applications, surf the web, etc. It seems that loading some applications and using the phone eventually causes the phone to exit this mode, but I haven't been able to find a single particular application or series of steps to fix the problem. If I power on the phone and don't use it that just seems to make it take even longer to fix itself.

Once it gets out of it's weird state, the WiFi connection will become active (it will turn on WiFi if I haven't done so manually already) and it will connect to a known network if one is available, the phone will lock itself or I can do so from the side button, and things like Tasker and Power Save mode will turn on.

I am stumped as to what could be causing this problem or how to fix it. It seems the phone may be doing some kind of check, maybe related to Knox, that hangs during startup and prevents certain things from working until it straightens itself out.

Any clues into what this problem is, what is causing it or how I could further analyze this problem and determine its cause would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigBot96:
Never heard of or experienced these issues. May want to contact Samsung.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ludeawakening:
Have you installed any official updates from Verizon at any point? I've heard of phones having phantom problems like this after receiving a bad update. I would definitely contact Verizon if you did update at any point. If not then like BigBot96 said, contact Samsung about the problem.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyanThaDude:
My wife's Note 2 did something similar when the battery died. I had to factory reset. Her phone was rooted/unlocked & running a custom TW ROM, though. May I suggest doing a complete factory reset and Odin. Backup data to computer or external sdcard since this will clear the entire device.

Edit: After rereading OP's post it actually sounds like an app is hanging at startup which could cause this behavior. A logcat should tell you what's going on.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChinWonder:
Hello!

TW stops working several times a day, I've haven't managed to narrow down the apps that might crash it (unless everything I use on the phone crashes it). It sometimes crashes in the home screen, in Chrome, in YouTube. The two apps I use the most are WhatsApp and Facebook, and it has crashed when I'm using them, too.

I have the habit of pressing the home button to leave an app, and the phone always takes a little bit to reload all the icons. I know TW lags and stutters for many, this is not a complaint but an observation. I used phase beam as the wallpaper before, so I changed it to a solid black picture. That hasn't helped.

My phone is not rooted, though processes unused are stopped in App Manager.

Any assistance and suggestion would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hey guys,

I am facing the same issue, where TW crashes and I receive the message that TW has stopped working, however in my case it happens each time I reboot the phone. Once I OK the error message, TW reloads, and remains stable until I next reboot my baby, which I tend to do once a day, for good measure. This is not the end of the world, something I can live with, yet I do find it irritating that I cannot figure out what is causing this.

Anyone with a suggestion would be greatly appreciated. FYI, I am running stock at the moment.

Regards,

Raziel

I'd be tempted to odin to stock or flash firekat.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChinWonder:
Raziel, I cleared TW cache and then wiped the cache partition earlier this afternoon. It seems TW hasn't crashed as often as it usually does, but it has crashed. It might remedy your problem, though, if you haven't tried this already. I'm avoiding resetting my phone.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BACARDILIMON:
If you rooted and tw goes crazy on you something went wrong. Delete everything you got. Turn of antivirus software. Download everything. Start by going back to stock then update then root then your good to go. If you start with a bad hicupp it will just keep getting worse.

BAD ASS NOTE 4
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raziel2k6:
ChinWonder dude! Thanks a bunch for this suggestion... I cleared TW cache in Application Manager, then booted into Recovery and proceeded with wiping the cache partition. Honestly I feel like a bit of a noob right now LOL, I should have thought about this myself!! But hey thanks nevertheless, much obliged ;).

BACARDILIMON, as stated above by the OP, ChinWonder, as well as myself, in both cases the devices are not rooted. Thanks for the effort though :). I'd like to add however that all of my previous and current Androids (S2, S3 and Nexus 7 2013) have been rooted, and in the last 2 cases, on day 1... hell I even made my own custom ROM for the S3 based on stock Bell 4.1.1 and stayed on it despite several available upgrades, I was getting such good performance and battery out of it, and FULL compatibility since I used a firmware base from my carrier, which is not the case for most custom ROMs found here, since none of them (or close to) are using Bell, but AT&T in most cases. From my experiences, I was always getting issues receiving voicemail notifications when using those. Long story short, I have been on the flashing bandwagon for a few years now, and tweaking the hell out of all my devices up to now, but this time, I feel this is the perfect (ok nothing is perfect) smartphone for me, as is, stock, and it performs like no other device I've had until now, and battery is just incredible!! getting regularly well over a day of charge, mostly average 36 hours, with 6 to 8 hours screen on time!!! WOW!!! seriously for the time being, I don't feel I want to root and flash and all that jazz, but instead I just want to enjoy this beast, the way Samsung thought of it, for a little while.

Again ChinWonder, thanks!

i have a problem with my wifi connection. my droid maxx always keeps loosing the connection to my wlan network and have to reconnect after that. this happens every few minutes.

my wifi network is protected with wpa2 and mac filtering is off. the network strength should be strong enough. i am using my maxx in europe, could it be that it maybe has problems with the european wifi channels (in usa as i know there are only 11 or so and in europe we have 13) ?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pijes:
Did the wifi lose connection while you're using the phone or everytime the screen goes off? Also a good idea to check your router dhcp lease period. Do you other devices connecting through wifi having the same issue?

I only notices this while i am using my phone and my phone is the only device with this problem. Dhcp is set to auto

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opt05:
Ah, I would then either wait for a possible firmware upgrade or replace the router sadly.

You could also try disabling the 5Ghz signal (if possible) to see if that helps, or reset the router.

Check the router manufacturer page for firmware update. If its a known issue, there's probably a patch for it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeepThunder:
Hello XDA developers

I'm having an issue with my PLAY. Because I don't know how to label this issue (much less even identify it), I am looking here for assistance. Google searches nor XDA searches have been helping.

The gist of it is that my phone won't turn on if the slider is closed. It will turn on if the slider is open, only. If you would much rather list a solution instead of reading the rest, go for it, but there are some details I would like to get out of the way

1) My Xperia PLAY will only turn on with the gamepad open (This applies to booting up as well).

2) Service center will not identify the difference between flip closed and flip open

3) Ironically, PLAY GAMES works with "Auto-Start" enabled

If you need more details, I have uploaded a video to YouTube. Because I'm a new user and can't post links yet, search "Xperia PLAY problem - Slider/Hardware issue? (Powers on only when slider is open)" in YouTube's search box.

My phone will function normally after it has been turned on, including the touchscreen and hardware buttons.

I assume #2 is an issue because it probably explains the reasoning for #1, and contradicts the reasoning for #3.

That being said, it's an honest pain in the ass to open the gamepad every time just to turn on my phone. I haven't came across any other forums/threads with this issue. Is this a hardware issue? Flex cable issue? Any solutions are much appreciated :)

If it all necessary, here are my phone specs to avoid any possible further questions:

-Model: r800at

-Rooted: Yes

-Custom ROMs: No

-Android version: 2.3.3

-Build number: 3.0.1.B.0.270 (Had to downgrade from .285 to .270 to root)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markphyton:
Its can be the flex cabel or the Mainboard. When you have luck its only the flex cabel. Its not a Software Problem.

If I got a replacement mainboard, would I be taking my chances of getting one with an unclean IMEI? I was lucky enough to buy this phone used with a clean IMEI

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patt2k:
is it ok on computer?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brittoking:
That's very unfortunate (and really an unforgivable malfunction by Samsung, I think) because there is no way I've seen to regain the pictures. There are a dozen posts like yours on the different carriers individual forums stating exactly the same problem..with no solution. There's many different types of SD cards listed too so it's not the cards themselves, It's the phone doing it. The programs on the internet don't get them back and I believe the actual picture itself is probably corrupted as it's writing to the card. The same thing happened with the note3. There's another post on this forum with a guy who took pics of his SONS WEDDING and it was all lost. I hope I'm wrong, Disneyland is awesome
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilbobvu:
You are right. The pictures are corrupted. Even I am copying to PC. Its shame on Samsung.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rusty.gh:
quick fix for now

Just so you know if you tell the camera to write to phone memory it works fine, you have to then use the stock file manager to move them to card for storage.

I have a feeling it's a security knox thing, hope sammy fixes this soon.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilbobvu:
No, it does not fix it.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rusty.gh:
I should have used my words better, the files (pictures) you already took are most likely toast.

You just need to set camera to phone memory in the future to get NEW good pictures.

So my device change to C1904?:confused:
[Sony Xperia M] StraightEdgeKid:
Well, it doesn't really matter, it will show in about phone section, but no difference in 1904 and 1905.
[Sony Xperia M] Dr Goodvibes:
The only difference is the phones support different 3G network signal frequencies.

C1904 supports 3G on 850MHz compared to C1905 on 900MHz.

So if 3G works, you should be OK.

Does anyone know what/if anything has changed in 15.4.A.1.10?
[Sony Xperia M] Nicklas Van Dam:
ok, so like almost underclock if do that, yaa it's little may be not currently affected to my device. can be battery saver?:o because this use low than usually i have?:D
[Sony Xperia M] gamer649:
The 3G frequencies are measured in MHz, these frequencies are nothing to do with battery. Different countries and network operators operate on different frequencies and instead of bundling all of the frequencies into one firmware Sony have done it so that only certain ones are used with a C1905 firmware and others are used with a C1905 firmware.

ok thanks for your information bro, now i understand all, but still have a chance i do OTA update from my device to 15.4.A.1.10 if i revert to stock rom?
[Sony Xperia M] gamer649:
To be able to do an OTA to .10 you would have to be on stock with a locked bootloader and a restored TA partition. You can't do an OTA with an unlocked bootloader and I am sure you need your TA too.

It is best to just download the new ftf and flash it with flashtool.
