GS4G Problems Driving me nuts - can someone else confirm these?

---

I love this phone when it's working. That's WHEN.

Here is a short list of some of the various problems I'm having consistently with the phone. It would be great if anyone else can confirm if these are happening to them. Would be nice to see if this is a problem with the GS4G in general or just with my specific unit. TIA.

1. Wifi sometimes cannot be turned on. Clicking it on will just result in the word error apearing. Nothing more. A reboot will always fix this.

2. Bluetooth will regularly have to be manually connected to the Sync in my Ford and it will arbitrarily disconnect from Sync in the middle of calls. Never had any bluetooth issues with the Ford with my s740 for more than a year. It's not the car.

3. Ringtones and notification sounds magically stop working. They simply act as if they are playing, but don't. vibration does work. Rebooting will always fix this.

4. Google Navigator will only speak to me when it feels like it. It will stop speaking mid route or not speak at all when it doesn't feel like it. No idea how to fix this one. Reboots or restarting the app don't help. It's random.

The good news is GPS on this phone is GREAT. The screen is AMAZING. Most of the time it's pretty fast. It's a bit laggy sometimes thanks to the bloatware I think. I used link2sd and partitioned the memory card. Also the memory card in this phone is CLASS 2!!! I have a Class 6 on order so that should help.

ALL the problems existed prior to partitioning and installing link2sd and pror to rooting so that is not the cause of the trouble. I suspect the problems may be related to the limited rom and ram being overloaded and system processes crashing until reboot. I HOPE it's not defective hardware although I guess I'm still withint the 30 day return period so hope to sort it out and keep it rather than turn it in.

i would try and odin to stock using krylon's post in the dev section. if you do that and you still have these errors... most likely hardware related and you need a new phone. i have zero issues with mine.

I got the same issue when I had my regular Vibrant using Bionix V with the Wifi toggle. Same thing with my Galaxy S 4G. Most of the time I can go into settings and toggle it from there and it will work. Sometimes not. I also use SuperPower App and it turns off the Wifi when the screen is off I think.

only issue I too am having is that my wifi does error out at times as well. It is quite annoying but aside from the rest of the features of the phone it's not a huge deal; especially given that the internet speed top notch and most any connecting to my home system is ran via wan not lan just for comparability reasons when i leave the house.

I've had all those issues.
I hate the lag.
I replaced the 16gig 2 class with my 8gig class 6.
Still lag, and just not very snappy.
This thing is going back this week.

I have all these problems too - both before I rooted and installed link2sd and after.

I really like this phone but am probably going to have to take it back because of these issues.

the original Vibrant had lag, as well. but over a few months... custom roms saved the day. i would stick it out cuz the hardware is pretty awesome. just my two cents.

The only problem I've Had is the WiFi (AP) Froze ON once, and the screen did not want to respond well. Reboot fixed it. That problem happened after uninstalling some apps. I haven't had any problems since. Phone works Good.

I've figured out a couple things. Basically all the problems on the phome seem to be thanks to bad software and bloatware.

1 the wifi refusing to turn on issue. This seems to be caused by the "drive smart (small)" app. Using Android Assistant killing that app allows wifi to turn back on immediately. The app does not always block wifi from starting, but when wifi is not starting, killing this app lets it start. At least on my phome.

2 no sound from navigation apps and other notification sounds not playing. When connecting to my ford sync, there are two bluetooth profiles used. One is the phone profile and one is bt audio. This is normal. Every phone i've had connects both. The problem is that this phone tries to send all audio to the car when it should only be sending phone call audio and media playback to the car. This is not how my old winphone devices behaved. I don't know if this is an android thing or just bad bluetooth software on the gs4g. Sometimes once the car is turned off, the phone still sends all the notification sounds to bluetooth. I know this because when there are no sounds toggling off bt will fix it. The answer was to simply uncheck the bt audio option on the phone for the ford sync connection.

I still have not figured out how to get the phone to stop randomly disconnecting frpm ford sync in the middle of calls or even having to be manually connected to bt devices in the first place. I thonl maube the bt stack in this rom is just really poorly written.

I have issues too with BT auto connecting with a Sony Headset. I would agree that the BT stack is f'ked on this ROM. I have CY6 on my G1 & it never ever had issues with my headset. I'd just turn my headset on, turn BT, wait for magic & play pandora.
