I have a MyAudio 708w on android 4.0.4, and i was using it when it suddenly dropped the wifi signal. When I tried to go to settings to reconnect, it froze, and i could only reboot it by long pressing the power button. After rebooting nothing changed, i can't even touch the lower right corner where the settings and notifications are because it freezes immediatelly. I also did a factory data reset from the recovery menu. After that I found a way to go to the settings (by adding a settings widget on the home screen) and the wifi line disappeared. I don't know how it is possible... the wifi radio is working by the way, i know that because i tried to add a new google account, and when i chose "existing account" it said i have to connect to the internet, and there i could activate the wifi and it also found the networks but it couldnt connect (it's stuck at obtaining ip adress).
Has anyone seen anything like this? Do you have any idea what i could do to fix it?
Thank you in advence!

Hi guys,
I have tried to search for a solution but couldnt find anyone having the same issue....so here goes
I am using a stock Vodafone AU rom 4.0.4 which is rooted......rooted used to remove drop box, navigaton (or something like that) and other bloatware.
However, after rooting - when Wifi is turned on but not connected to any network i seem to have screen issues. No response at all - when i press power button it doesnt turn off just dims, i press it again and screen lights up but yet no response. When i turned wifi off - this issue doesnt seem to happen. Also when i turn it on and connnect to my home network - no issue. Only seems to happen when after rooting + when wifi on and not connected to network.
Has anyone encountered this issue? Any help suggestions would be appreciated.
PS. I have restored factory settings, reinstalled firmware via odin and gone thru all settings on the phone. But under the above mentioned conditions - this issue happens. Seemed with out rooting - phone had no issues for last 5 days.
Hello! I've updated my D6503 (DE unbranded) with 23.0.1.A.0.167 and I've got the issue I can't turn WiFi on.
1. Settings -> WiFi shows the grey screen with 'Turning WiFi on...' message.
2. On/Off button is greyed out (doesn't work) in Off position.
3. WiFi widget (stock one) is slowly 'flashing'.
Restart through now available software option doesn't help. Phone starts and WiFi is immediately in turning on.. mode.
Power off doesn't help as well.
I've managed to turn it on by switching to airplane mode, then restarting via hard reset (power on+volume up) then turning on, disabling airplane mode. This way it turns on, connects to my access point but in a minute it's disabled again and starts to show this 'Turning WiFi on...' message again.
I've made factory reset through phone. Now 'Searching for Wi-Fi networks...' message is on welcome screen step 3. None access points are seen.
I've made factory reset through PC companion. Now 'Searching for Wi-Fi networks...' message is on welcome screen step 3. None access points are seen.
Support basically trolls me (I live in Cyprus, without any local service centers), so it's no use as well.
Please help me, thanks in advance.
Hello everyone. Just got my hands on this beauty, but I cannot for the love of any deity known to me get it to go past the second step of what is the initial, first boot of Android: it turns on, asks me to select the location and the language, takes me to the next screen saying "select Wi-Fi" and...that's it! there are no networks available and the only info I see is "Turning Wi-Fi on", which stays there forever. The device itself works fine I guess - volume buttons raise/lower the volume, the power button switches the screen on/off, I can enter recovery mode... I tried literally everything I could think of, from wiping the cache and the data, to trying to roll back to 5.0.1 (though I keep ending up with 5.1 somehow, but that's a different story).
Anyway, does anyone have an idea about what this could be due to? Any help will be greatly appreciated as this issue has got me going nuts over here
EDIT:
so, I plugged in the earphones and was somehow able to bypass that step! now, I can freely use the tablet, but when I open Settings -> Wi-Fi, the Wi-Fi toggle is gray and cannot be switched to 'on'; in ADVANCED, the MAC and IP addresses both appear as 'unavailable'; it seems as if the Wi-Fi module was missing/not working. what could this be???
So I know this topic has a few posts many a year or so old but I'm looking for a possible work around for this issue. Here's a background of what happened:
I have a rooted note 4 originally running cm12, I wanted to return to a stock build and when I did something happened (can't remember what) and my wifi stopped working it would click on them immediately off my first thought was kernel so I flashed a new one but didn't help I tried a different stock build 5.0.1 instead of 5.1.1 but still same issue. I went back to the cm12 and that seemed to work fine still, I looked for another stock build because I'm stubborn and flashed a different kernel than the previous ones I've tried. This seemed to fix my wifi issue at least for a day then back to the same issues. Anyway here's what I've been messing with to try and figure this out.
I'm focused around the file wpa_supplicant.conf as I've tried restarts and all that but that won't do anything. What I have noticed recently is when I don't have any networks saved in that file I can toggle airplane mode and try toggling wifi, after a few sometimes dozen attempts it comes on and works fine so long as it stays on. If I turn it off I have to restart my process of going into wpa_supplicant.conf>deleting my saved network>toggling airplane>then spamming wifi. As I'm able to repeat this it leads me to believe it's not hardware related, slim chance on loose cable, But if there's a way to prevent the system from auto saving a password that might help with a workaround. I've tried changing that files permissions as well as the ones in the system>etc>wifi folder but they get changed back
Anyway I'm still working on finding the root cause but will update if I find anything also tried deleting the wpa file and that works to after a restart but issue comes back and so does file which doesn't seem to me that its a corruption issue
Update:
So I somehow crashed my Samsung messenger app switch to hangouts and then back so decided to wipe my phone and refresh the OS. I factory reset then advanced wiped cache, dalvik, system and data. When it rebooted I tested the WiFi in the system setup and it worked fine I could turn it on and then off normally so I decided to continue setup once fully setup and no other apps installed I retested the WiFi. It worked fine I connected to an access point and it stayed connected I then forgot the network cycled wifi and tried again and again still worked so I let it sit and would test it throughout the day. About an hour or so later the problem reappeared which was odd. I did my old workaround deleting wpa_supplicant.conf and toggling wifi until it turns on. I got it to turn on and connect to my home WiFi and left it, so far I've kept my wifi on and it's stayed active for 24hours now and reconnects fine to my home router when I'm in range and back to lte when I'm away so right now it seems I can have wifi if I don't toggle it off. Still not sure what's causing this issue as since I'm currently using wifi to write this I don't see it as a hardware issue. After trying multiple kernels I don't see that as the cause either, although possible. Will keep messing around and update if I find anything further
Update 2: so far I've been able to keep my wifi working great as long as I keep it on and don't toggle it off. Doing this has kept it active and auto connecting to my home wifi for a week straight. I make sure to keep wifi I during sleep so it won't disconnect but it also seems to stay active through restarts which is great. This still leads me to believe it's software related and not hardware but not sure where the issue is.
Update 3:
So far I've just kept my wifi on while trying to find the issue. The only other issue I've come across was since my wifi is on 24/7 and auto connects if I want to use my lte instead i have to either turn off wifi or forget my home network which neither is an option. But I have found a solution:
I was able to add a shortcut to my home screen that actually disables the current wifi connection without disabling wifi and forgetting the password. To do this you must have Tasker just create a new task in second tab, I named mine disconnect wifi, click the plus sign and select "net", next select "wifi net" there is an option that says disconnect. Have that selected then go back and thats it,add in icon on bottom right to use as a shortcut. I've tested this and it works great one tap and it disconnects the wifi but keeps wifi turned on and if I want to re connect just go into WiFi settings and choose the one to connect to
i can't open my setting app on my phone, whenever i do it instantly crash and wont even show on my recent apps.
please help. I've tried opening it in safe mode but still its a no go. i can't seem to find a solution other then a full recovery, but i can't even enable debugging mode...
I don't want to factory reset, please help me out here.
thank you!
It worked fine just yesterday. the issue happened after the battery drained fully. I plugged it in and when i opened the phone i couldn't open the settings, also I can't access the settings like WIFI networks list from the notification shortcuts obviously.
I attached video explaining what's is happening
