Problem installing /e/ on Samsung A3 2016

Just for the record, I had an unofficial ROM found on XDA Lineage 16 installed on the Galaxy A3 2016, I never encountered any Wi-Fi problems or anything except that the phone was relatively slow. After the problems with /e/ I put back a ROM Lineage 15 and the phone became fast again.

So, if after switching from /e/ to Pie the wifi problems are solved but the phone is unpleasant to use because it is too slow, is this useful?
It may be better to remove this phone model from the list of compatible phones.

Thank you @rhunault. I had the same problem as bud with a Samsung Galaxy S7 (herolte) and let runaway weeks before taking time to figure it out and retry the install… May I suggest to indicate the Heimdall version in the instructions? I think some people should earn time :slight_smile:

Anyway, thanks again for the help, my phone feels free now :wink:

Hy,
i have installed /e/ but when i want to use the wifi my phone reboot continualy. I have no time to note down my pin code, thé phone reboot.
If you have an idea…thanks

Sorry for my english :rofl:

  1. Have you ever tried a “Facory Reset” after installing /e/ OS ROM?

  2. Which baseband version has your A3 (2016 Exynos) “a3xeltexx” SM-A310F ??

Hi @macmad64 there is an issue with some samsung devices where they reboot when connected to wifi .There is an open bug on this which is pending a resolution.

This is a time-saving and therefore valuable information; at the same time, however, it is also sobering when you look at the timeline.

Hello all,

I just installed e on same device and when setting wifi, the phone restart and restart …
Now i’ll move back to stock rom because this bug is still pending since a year …

Hello @lapinmoutarde,
This issue is gone with the Pie test build. I think it should be released in a few weeks or months in the worst case. Stay tuned !

@team
Thanks for response.
You should better remove this phone from the list of verified phones, because that does not work at all.
And I will surely not wait for x monthes for a fix. This is very frustating.

@archje
Thank you archje, I will try it right now

I had the same problem, I installed lineage without gapps. Only way to un-goo this handset as nobody seems bothered enough at e to fix this glitch.
