Wifi and data switch off randomly.

simacca · Apr 17, 2014

Have noticed about once a day at random times, my wifi and data signal will disappear when using the phone. I have to switch airplane mode on and back off to get my connections back. Not a major Issue, but slightly annoying.

Anyone else have this problem or know the cause?

I'm having an issue where my wifi icon disappears but I'm still connected to wifi. Also, the toggle is grayed out. Pretty annoying. I'm on the Sprint GS5.

The toggle is greyed out on mine too and cannot switch it back on. The only difference is that I loose wifi and network connection. Mine is o2 UK unbranded handset.

Update: my connections are still active when this happens.

I'm getting the same thing here, the data and wifi icons occasionally disappear and the wifi toggle goes dark (as if it's not connected), but I'm still connected and get data just fine.

Do you reckon this is a hardware or software fault?

I had same problem on my G900f aften I installed an ad blocking app for non rooted Phone.

After deleting that non-working crap app.. Phone has not lost signal since.

I did install adblock (unrooted) for about 30 minutes and then removed it when I first got my phone. Not sure if the problem started before or after.

It didn't happen yesterday so will wait for next samsung update and see if that solves the problem. Unless it gets worse then I will factory reset.

update : shortly after I posted this it happened again so I tested the connection and I was still connected to wifi.

Okay...

Did you find any working ADBLOCKER for non-rooted G900F ?

No, I stopped looking as I think they only work properly if your rooted.

What's the best way to perform a factory reset?

Update: Just performed a full factory restore. Will let you know how I get on.
