Every build after 7000 has a certain per cent of users experiencing random loss of internet both on wired and wireless connections. The bug defies troubleshooting, hangs on restart requiring hard shutdown, then resets upon start up.

Even though daily builds are notorious for having bugs not yet worked out, it seems strange this same bug would exist through so many builds.

Waiting to hear if it repeats in 7077.

Lost internet in second hour on 7077.

Cannot force change to XP driver (fails) for Linksys WUSB54GS adapter; the driver I am using is Vista, the only other one for my model.

Am swapping WRT100 (draft N) router with older trusty BEFW11S4 b/g to see if that helps. If it does I may buy a WRT54G router since WRT100 has been a pain (RMA'd twice).

Yes. I went from 7048 which had intermittent connection issues, to 7068 which seems to have problems loading pages left and right.

Haven't tried 7077 yet... but its getting progressively worse when using the internet.

It's not my connection as other people in the house seem to be just fine.

The first time I had it was with 7057. Now I noticed it again with the 7077 build. The weird thing is at home it kicks me and my wife off of internet (she has Vista), but we both still remain on the network, just no internet. I have to reset the router. I think this might have happened with an earlier (pre 7057) build and I thought I disabled ipv6 and that seemed to fix it. Might have to try that again.

I have not had this problem with any build from 7000 through 7077.

Same here (7000 through 7068). And if some have this issue while others do not, wouldn't that indicate hardware issues and not OS issues?

That would be the most likely suspect except that it never happens in 7000. As soon as subsequent build starts dropping net (2-3 times daily), I just wipe the partition and revert back to 7000 where it has never happened since release.

Some hardware issues are OS specific, as with Intel 855/915 graphics drivers which froze WMP in 7000-22, then while Intel ignored us it was fixed in builds 7048 and after.

You guys need to update the drivers on your wireless cards, as well as the firmware on your routers.

I've had absolutely no problems whatsover with my Intel N card and my Tomato-loaded Buffalo router.

Its not just wireless cards.

My laptop at home is wired and it drops every now and then ever since I moved past 7022.

My workstation at work which is also wired, dropped for the first time yesterday and required a couple reboots before it started working again.

No drops on my desktop and my laptop using both Ethernet and wireless. I have a realtek ethernet adapter and an Intel 5100 wifi chip inside. I used stock drivers on the laptop and used Driver Genius to get my ethernet driver off Vista and Windows update had a new one as well and that fixed some slow speeds.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design.

Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
