Hey gang,
This has been going on a few months for me now, and can be pretty frustrating. Compounded by the fact that wi-fi in my own apt is occasionally shoddy with any device, (frequent disconnect/reconnect issue) sometimes it can be downright maddening. Thank god I have a dope case, because I have launched this ****er multiple times now as a result of the issue. Two factory resets have not solved the problem.
Every time my phone connects to or disconnects from any wi-fi source the phone freezes up completely and is unresponsive for anywhere from 5-20 seconds, pretty much immediately after the wi-fi toast message pops up (although occasionally the phone will freeze b4 toast message pops up). After it regains consciousness, the device will "catch up" with whatever inputs were made while it was frozen.
For example: Keyboard open, typing comment on reddit. Wi-fi toast message appears, phone becomes unresponsive. While unresponsive, if I tap 5, g, h, q, back button (touch key), home button (touch key); after becoming responsive again phone will swiftly type "5ghq," close keyboard (go back), then go home (home button) along with the associated haptic feedback responses occurring.
This also seems to be occuring occasionally when I receive text messages. Sometimes but not always. Though, if it happens with one txt received, I can safely assume it will continue to occur until after I restart or (maybe) put phone down for a while.
Restarting or not using phone for a while, however, has no effect on wifi issue. Wifi issue is occuring every single time, no matter what.
Its a minor inconvenience but can be quite irritating
Anyone else experiencing this or able to help? Thx.
