Hello everyone. So, I am having yet another issue with my droid bionic. This has been by far the worst phone I have owned so for, and I can't wait to get rid of the thing.
So,this time around I am getting strange issues with wifi and the yahoo messenger application. The phone behaves as if it goes into a battery conservation mode. When i am at home, I typically set the phone for airplane mode and then turn the WIFI on, since 95% of my communications are through data services rather than phone. I do this because battery life is so horrid if you leave the 4G on. For months, this worked perfectly. Now suddenly the wifi keeps turning itself off after a few minutes, and does not turn back on again until I pick up the phone and try to use a data dependent app. The phone is set for "performance" on the battery mode. Background data is enabled, and I can't find any setting that would indicate a time-out option on the WIFI connection.
The other issue that surfaced at the same time is with the yahoo messenger application. The phone will go through long periods where it will not deliver messages to me. It will send messages, it will use all other data services normally, but it will not deliver messages to me on yahoo. Then it will deliver sometimes dozen's of messages all at once when it finally wakes up. It does this on both 4G and WIFI. The timing is random and completely unpredictable, except that it is pretty much quaranteed that when my girlfriend attempts to ask me one of those loaded female test questions, it will not be delivered to me, and then she will get angry at me for not answering her. this app worked fine for nearly a year, then suddenly stopped working correctly without any changes to the phone or application.
The two problems both surfaced at the same time, which makes me wonder if they are in some way related. I have gone so far as to completely reset the phone back to factory specs, then reload all my apps etc, and it still is doing the same thing. It's driving me insane.
Anybody have any ideas?
