I have had my Lumia 925 from T-Mobile since launch day. It's been doing great. But in the last two weeks I have something really strange start happening when getting home from work.
My daily activity for commuting with the Lumia is:
This has been great and been doing this since I had the phone day one.
In the last two weeks only when I get home the following behavior happens:
Now what happens is when I look at my status bar the Bluetooth icon is still displayed and my phone and no Wi-Fi indicator. Sometimes I don't notice until I open the phone to read email and the load times are slow and notice I am not on Wi-Fi. Then I go into Wi-Fi and don't see any access points only the dots moving across the top of the screen. It will stay like that forever. Also the slider to turn Wi-Fi off and on is not movable.
The only way to restore Wi-Fi is to shut down the phone and something strange happens here also. The shutdown acts as if the phone is crashed. I get the "goodbye" screen and about 10 seconds on this screen the Nokia logo comes up and the phone restarts. If you normally shutdown the phone power off that is why I think it hung or crashed during shutdown due to this Wifi condition.
I normally do a second shutdown after this reboot and the phone shuts down and powers off.
Any idea what may be causing this behavior?
My daily activity for commuting with the Lumia is:
- I leave both the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth settings always on
- I get into the car and usually within 15 seconds the Bluetooth connects for both audio and phone
- I start up a podcast, audible, Xbox music, or Nokia music
- I startup Here maps where I have my daily commute
- During my drive I task between Gas Buddy to enter gas prices and then task back to Here maps using the long hold on the back arrow
This has been great and been doing this since I had the phone day one.
In the last two weeks only when I get home the following behavior happens:
- I normally stop the audio before I turn off the car, its a hold over habit from WP7 where when sometimes Bluetooth disconnects didn't stop audio
- I exit out of Here drive by using the back arrow until back at home screen
- Turn off the car and go into the house
