Wifi network "Disabled" - Sprint LG G3

My wife and I are having the exact same issue which started within the past 48-72 hours.
Our phones when returning from say "Sleep mode" will not be on the wireless network. When you look at the networks listed, it shows the network as disabled. No other devices are seeing this issue, laptops, nexus 7's, SGS4, Galaxy Tab 3, etc.
When we click on the network we can connect and things go back to normal temporarily. I've restarted the router, I've restarted the access point, the phones are assigned static IP addresses which do not interfere with anything else on the network.
Nothing on the network has changed in the last 48-72 hours.
I've told the phone to "forget the network" but still see the issue.
I've also factory reset my phone and restored from a backup to try to resolve this.
Any ideas?

Still having this issue.

Just as an update:
Finally gave up trying to troubleshoot myself and went to a Sprint store. The technicians at first tried to say that it was my network, which I quickly shot that down by saying both of our LG G3's are having issues and no other wireless device has an issue. And there's about 10-12 other wireless devices at any given time on the network.
I mentioned that it's showing up in the Sprint forums. That's when the technician looked into their online db (or maybe just the Sprint forums). After a few minutes of a perplexed look on his face, he said... "Oh... that's not good."
Apparently, this is becoming a very common issue with the latest update ZV8. So he'll be talking to his boss about what they need to do next and will hopefully call me tomorrow.
I'll update the thread with any new info.

So just to let everyone know, the problem seems to be resolved now. Without going to Sprint or replacing the phone.
The problems apparently had something to do with the statically assigned IP addresses that I gave to the phones. I have not made any changes to those static IPs in months so there should not have been a sudden issue with them, however after removing the static IP assigned to them, the phones seem to hold their connections just fine.

So it's not a common issue with zv8?
Did the rep call you back?
And these static addresses I presume were on the router? Or were they manually set on the phone/device?

This might very well be a common issue with zv8.
The rep never called me back. Although this is sprint that we are talking about.
The router assigned the static IP addresses.
Pfsense router if you are wondering.

HELP/Alert! New ALLTEL versions wont do wifi!?!?

This really really pi##es me off, as where I live I get 1x data, & usually use my home wireless (wifi).
Recieved the pro, and activated it. It seems disabled by being activated by alltel. I even stumped the blackberry adept person at the local store enough that they switched out the phone, I walked to next door (motel) used the free wireless (to prove the wireless would even function) then let him activate it and headed home (30+ miles into the wilderness). got home and again I cant get Crap wifi to work.
Home is wireless b, it connects, can be seen on the 'simple' 2 wire wireless appliance but the PRO, will not see or try to send data through it. turned off security and everything on the wireless for testing. I can check, but I know the pass for the motel, and I could try again, but am definitely sure that this AINT the issue--> again the phone wouldnt connect at the motel (least not the pre exchanged one) with me or the rep at Altel either, while it was activated and on alltel.
who to call? Any help out there?
my 6800 will still wifi, at anyplace there is a signal and that I know the passcodes or is open.
yes I asked this, at alltel-howard forums, but would think you guys here know more (on second thought, when I remembered about all the stuff you do here, I know I probably should've posted here 1st, but Im kinda mad at the moment!)
Pretty adept at computers, I do IS as my real job, anything I can do to help trouble shoot? yeah the 6800 has been flashed & I even noobed around with cooking a few time. appreciate any help you guys
i Have a touch pro and a touch diamond, both under 2 weeks old and the wifi works fine with both of them, maybe you should try a custom rom and see if they changes anything. but there is no reason it shouldnt work with the stock rom

goony,
Is it an Alltel? are you positive that wifi is working, not the "data" connection with alltel towers (cell call)? My proof is that if I goto my basment, I have no cell service so not any data connction, ONLY WIFI (that is where my wireless router is. that is when I found out the 1st time. Everything else looks right, on the phone it says it is connected, on the router I can see it on the connected devices list.
I have my issue that I believe, that it is some setting that Alltel is setting... like I said the phone would connect via wifi until the phone activated. When I activated (full unlimited data package is on this phone) the phone fully rebooted on its own, 3 times as if getting updated via data plan. Im not talking about the 1st time turn on customizations, those were done before I tested the wifi at the motel lobby... For instance, the volume control buttons - the display app were obviously modified, I am not positive what else was.
I'd LOVE to try custom rom, if I wasnt right in the period of time I can get my money back, or not. after that I will...
yes they are alltel, and to test the wifi i just connected it to my router and then turned of my alltel data and it stayed connected so i am positive the wifi works. you can still use a custom rom under your return period, if you want to return just relock it.
I wanted to double check myself sting to make sure i was realy getting wifi, so i connected and went to speedtest.net and did a speed test and sure enough it showed my isp as roadrunner(my home provider). Have you had this problem with multiple phones? are you checking the internet option when it connects? and do you have it diconnected from the pc? my wifi wont work on my diamond hooked to a pc.
Has nothing to do with alltel. Maybe with the rom or the phone. Now I hope you're not waiting for a pop up to show itself on the main screen asking if you want to connect because you could wait forever. Go to comm manager enable wifi/ go to start->settings->connections->wifi and make sure options are set to "all available." If you can even see wireless networks on the list, the wifi is functioning correctly and there is a router settings conflict. If you don't see networks on that list in wifi, then there is a rom/hardware problem.

Hey thanks!
But, it is the Stock shipped rom, I have my HTC 6800 right next to this one, connected and surfing the web, both show up when in the home WIFI router config as connected, yet the pro sends NO DATA to ie or opera, (cant locate any webpages) or any app that uses internet/data.Unless there is something I need to do with PRO that I never had to do with the 6800 (mogul) that I just flashed back to stock shipped rom, ready to sell on ebay...
what I dont know is, well, most of the people wifi to tether a laptop or something, I dont! Sure that will be neat in the future, but RIGHT NOW, Just I use WIFI when I am at home and dont even have signal or evdo near me... (remote locations that I live, the tower coverage sucks out here in ks...) Got to fix this soon, or this Beyotch is going back to alltel.
Another thing, this bad boy pulled this crap, as soon as alltel activated the device (so I could use it as my phone!) when it was NOT activated, the wifi worked (proven at the motel next door to the Alltel store I exchanged this phone). BTW, I was able to test it on the 1st phone shipped to me, while it was activated, it pulled the same thing, when he unactivated the phone, we could almost pickup the wifi from the motel next door (distance was the only issue I think now looking back) but seemed like a chip problem.
Where I got screwed was we believed the wifi to be bad on the 1st phone. So he got out a new phone, and before we activated it, I went and tested the wifi, it worked on the 2nd phone. I thought wall was fine, it worked. then I had him activate it, assuming that proved I will be able to use the wifi. So I leave the store thinking OK wifi works. I get home, and again unable to use my home networking wifi to open web or apps. unacceptable. Yet the 6800 does and still works flawlessly (as long as you slide the wifi sider on side to on {inside joke}).
follw me better now?
What brand router do you have? How many devices are wireless? And it connects to other locations but are you sending and recieving data? Try this link http://www.wmwifirouter.com/trial/ and install on 6800 if you are not normally around hotspots. This will test the t-pro's ability to send and recieve information via wifi. Now it is sounding like an IP address conflict.

Sweeny, Im in the houshold router (made by 2wire) I can see it (the Pro as well as the 6800) each get an ip. (I work In IT, so I know what you are talking about in ip conflicts, all that.) I have even set the router to manually setup IPs now, then set the ip inside the Pro, as well as the default gateway, dns all that.) I'm telling ya, it is more like it doesnt know the DNS or the gateway (just like I disable internet surfing on the computers at work that I still must use networking)
I copied the DNS and everything from a working laptop (ipconfig -all) on a wireless laptop today, and still as if it was disabled.
This weekend i will test the dang thing tethering with my notebook i'll bring home from work (use the pro as the internet access). if it wont tether either, then I think allHell is doing something. Again if the device is DE-Activated I will wifi... {I'll bet you $$}. I might call alltel, tomarrow night, and try that. I'll have them inactivate it and if it suddenly works, then the question is, what do I do with alltel? they dont have the right to disable hotspot usage do they?
I feel I feel the presence of VERIZON already in Alltel, Luke is turning to the dark side. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
You all thought I was off my crock...
http://www.htcwiki.com/thread/2073117/Touch+Pro+WiFi?t=anon lots of folks posting same problems it looks like.
Need that group of people who can create a kitchen, and hcak tomtoms, to help us with this PLEASE!
No I don't, think you're off your crock I just know how frustrating problems like this can be. Here is what I suggest you do. And if this doesn't work exchange the phone or try a different router. I know what you're thinking....not the router. Truth is might be. Its just like wireless adapters in wii's and ps3's they simply will not work with a handfull of routers even though not clearly documented.
Anyway, change router to static Ip's, safer anyway.
Specifiy gateway, primary and secondary dns, and limit your ip's within 100 available obtainables. Use a 64 bit wep encryption. Change the channel of your router's broadcast to 1 or 11. Use only simple gateway ip range, not pure server. If you need me to provide you with example settings then pm me because I do not want to broadcast them via forum
Good luck.
Dont take this the wrong way....but are you positive that you are disabling the DATA Connection in Comm Manager?
I have had the alltel touch pro since the second they hit the store. I have used 3 of them since and they all work perfectly on wifi. I primarily use wifi and use diamond tweak to activate the wifi standby so wifi stays connected in standby like data does by default and use modaco nodata to disable data as I live in a house that gets a very lowsignal from the tower and eats my battery superfast if I use data. I have a router in the house and one in my office detached from my home and when I had my mogul it often would not switch between routers successfully requiring me to manually connect more often than not. All the Touch Pros connect superfast and switch automatically. I am running mightyrom 4.12 and telus radio which is light years better than stock with signal, speed and batterylife, but even when I was on stock for about 3 months there were absolutely no wifi issues.

Not sure which of us you are asking this queston of...
Thanks, for the help so far...
I was having the same issue (Alltel and all).
I found this post in the MS forums:
http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsmobile/thread/561f18a8-5f64-4359-957e-adb003229f1d
Essentially, it says to "Navigate to START/SETTINGS/Connections Tab/Connections icon/Advanced Tab
Press Select Networks Button
At the top it says "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:"
You want to press on the drop down and choose My Work Network"
You need to tell the system that the Work Network connects to the internet as well. While this doesn't seem like the ideal solution (there should be a faster way to switch it, or it should do it automatically depending on location), it did work for me. I'm sure there's a much more sleek solution out there, though.
Btw... I hope I'm posting this correctly. I'm more a reader than a poster.
Ooop... one more thing. Its non-sleekatude rests with the fact that when you want to switch between wifi and your data plan, you have to go through the whole process, and switch the active network from My Work Network to Alltell Wireless. This is where I was hoping for a better solution. As I say, it does work, but it seems like it should involve less hassle.
Might add this to the WIKI, I dunno but there could be a few more thousand users out there on ATT or SWB using the modem/routers that they shipped when you got DSL more than a year ago...
Everyone that has the older 2 wire brand, wifi modem/router that came with SBC (now ATT). Wierd I know. But Mine has just been replaced by the newer version of that modem/router. and I will be dammed, it works. but the phone wont work with the older ones. Mine was the 2WIRE 1000hw model. they are shipping new models, and finally the phone will work with the wifi on that new router.
Thought it might be nice to know...
alltel model uses wifi just fine
My TP from alltel works just fine with wi-fi all i ever do is turn it on and then select which connection i want to make ...really quite nice...maybe you need to exchange yours...
On further testing of my own setup, I'm thinking my issue was the router. I had done several fixes all at once, and cited the wrong fix as the working one. I happened to reset my router at the same time I did the above suggested fix.
I thought it had to be the device, as my HTC Apache never had an issue with the router, but after resetting the router, and going back to the original settings on the TP, I'm having no problems connecting to the network. I wish I could pinpoint the exact conflict between the two, but now that I have it working, I'm not messing with it.
My suggestion is to back up your router settings, reset the router, and see what happens. Or test your wifi on someone else's network.
Isolating a network conflict can be one of the least fun things to do, but from everything I've seen here and in other forums (and my experience with it) I'm going to say that's the issue, and not the TP alone.
I don't think it likes your router being wireless B, you should try it on a wireless G router before Ebaying it.

[Q] Problem with hone wireless network connection

A couple of days ago my wireless connection quit working at home. The wireless network icon turned white all the time, and never switched to green. I hard wire the modem/router (ATT Uversre 2Wire 3800HGV-B) into a 5 port switch and plug my computer, network storage drive, and media streaming box into the switch. I've had all of this set up for a few months in it's current configuration and there was never an issue before. This just seemingly happened out of the blue...funny how computers do that sometimes, right? I have an HTC Aria, I was running CM7 RC1 when the problem happened, I just updated to RC2 hoping maybe it would change and it didn't.
After reading posts and checking settings here's what I've found:
My wireless router is set to act as the DHCP server. I set all of the IP addresses manually. I've had it set this way for some time, haven't made any changes recently. The attached network storage (D-Link DNS 323 also has DHCP server capability, but that is disabled)
I found that while my phone was set in the router's setting to connect to 192.168.1.67 for whatever reason it was connecting to 192.168.0.200 (which is out of range, my DHCP is set to address to 192.168.1.64 - 192.168.1.253)
Any idea what would cause this?
I have a temporary fix right now, I've set the phone for static IP and entered all the values. It now connects to my home network on the correct IP and appears to work. This will be a hassle though because there will likely be conflicts when I try to connect to public wifi or at my office. I could just go in and set it back to automatic IP when I leave home....but that is a hassle, and obviously, something isn't working quite right.
Anybody have a clue what would be making this happen?
thanks!

I don't understand when you say your router is your DHCP server but you set all the addresses manually...I can understand setting your network storage and media streaming to static IP's but you may want to reconsider for everything else, if your router allows for that to happen.
Have you tried rebooting your router and switch? May be worth doing that. I would not recommend a RESET because you'll have to reconfigure everything and I know how much of a hassle that is.
So, when you say you set the phone for static IP, do you mean through the phone gui or through the router?
Another thing to check is the number of available IP addresses. You could be out. I doubt this is the case in a home network, but never hurts to check.

I have somewhat of a similar situation... I just installed CM7 RC2 and I can connect to my home's wifi and browse the internet etc... but some apps like Facebook won't update. With Facebook, I can retrieve messages sent to me but the news feed never updates and I can't view profiles. And for some reason everything works when I use my university's wifi...

Didn't help I don't get what's happening. I can use the browser fine but certain applications always time out and won't update.
I have the same problem. I've found the following apps to not work correctly when I connect my Sprint HTC Evo 4G (CM 7.0.3.1) to my home wireless network (Apple Airport Extreme Base Station):
Facebook (news feed won't update)
Amazon MP3 (Only the cloud player doesn't work)
Netflix (won't let me log in)
Speedtest (downloads fine but shows 0.00Mbps for uploads)
Again, all features works great on 3G or on the wifi at work (a university network running WPA2 Enterprise with LEAP authentication), which leads me to suspect there's something wrong with my home wifi setup. I have updated the Airport Extreme to the latest firmware and reset it several times yet the problem persists. Any ideas?

My WIFI issue remains with new update/help please

Any input on this isue will be helpful. I'm on sprint new OTA 4.0.4 sense 4.1..the issue was going on before and after the update meaning i got NO FIX with the update.
If the vid stops during play back just refresh the page.

I was told by HTC that is issue was fixed. So when I was still having the Wifi disconnecting and reconnecting I contacted HTC again. After all the standard Troubleshooting tips (like Soft reset and Power Off) I was told to do a Factory reset. I ended up doing it and it has fixed my problem. My WiFi connection has stayed strong since. Also I installed an app called "Hidden Settings" by Derek R Reynolds (Free in the play store) this app was made for the HTC One series phones. In that menu there is an option "Put Data connection to Sleep" which turns data connection off while the screen is off. this is checked by default so uncheck that option. I've included a screenshot of that menu. Also after Factory resetting my phone on the newest OTA my phone has been running a lot better (smoother and faster). I know it's a hassle, but it might help you out.

You might have a bad phone then.
its very odd that the phone can connect to my neighbors router...but not mine...i would think if the wifi antenna was bad it wouldnt connect to any wifi at all....SMH..i guess i'll take it in to the sprint store.
Maybe it's your router
"We're coming from a pure power source"
What kind of security does your router use? I changed mine to WEP and it fixed everything. I had random disconnects at my house only.

maybe your router is trying to issue an ip address that is already in use by another device. Go in to the wireless settings/advanced and try to set the ip manually. See if that helps
For Some reason my router will assign xxx.xxx.xxx.22 to my phone and I have it set to automatically get an IP from the router. I don't have that many devices in my house on wireless so I don't know why it picked that number, but it is always that number. I also get a similar IP address at a buddies house with it ending in .22. Might be an HTC thing.
na i don't think its an "ip conflict"...its the way the phone is "seeing" the network..hence the drops according to wifi analyzer..the wifi network drops when the phone isnt even trying to connect...

FIX - 'Unstable Network Connection'

For 3 days I've been trying to fix the 'unstable internet connection' on my phone to no avail. Finally I found a fix. This hasn't been listed anywhere I've seen and I've been researching this non-stop for days.
Go to your wifi connection and see what your IP address is. Then check your other devices. The IP address on the phone I was having the problem on was different from every other device in my house.
THE FIX
Choose your wifi network, tap and hold it. Choose modify. Then choose 'show advanced options. Under proxy settings choose manual. Under IP settings coose Static. You'll now be able to manually enter your IP address. As for the proxy host name, proxy port, and bybass proxy for, I just entered something random.
When I restarted my phone for the first time the 'unstable connection' part came back and I had to disconnect and reconnect and it was fine again.
Hope this helps people until we get a fix.

Does this work if you're on a dynamic IP network? What about if you're switching regularly between open and closed networks? This perhaps resets the WiFi. I've looked at advanced settings before, but this happens with mainly open networks, and I believe that these typically have dynamic IP addresses. The protected network in my home is rarely an issue, but open networks are what give me fits.
No harm in trying, and if it works, that'd be awesome. I'm wondering if done once it fixes all such issues that one encounters, or must be done with every new network.
@freeza has a fix in the works in the form of a kernel, and so far, it's pretty solid. The only issue I've found is that if ya flash anything, you have to reflash the fix. Odd, but does the job.

For this to really work, you'd need to do more than the OP states. ALL basic home routers/access points come setup with DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) which assigns IP addresses from numbers it keeps in a "pool". If you manually force your phone to use an IP (lets say 192.168.1.15) then leave the network (you go on some business trip) - and in the mean time, one of your kids adds some other device, or simply reconnects a device that hadn't been on the network for a while. After a certain period (the "lease" period of the IP), the router will put that IP BACK into the pool of available IPs. And since nearly all routers assign IPs bottom up (lowest to highest), if 15 is the next available number - you're toast. You come home, your phone tries to connect on 192.168.1.15 and gee- sorry - your son's PSP is on that IP.
For this to be a workable long-term solution, you'd have to enable static IPs within the router (a better way to do it anyway - that's how I have my network setup). You would simply go into the router, and tell it which IP to give to a device based on that device's MAC address.
Just figured I'd throw this out there because if an IP collision happens, the 2nd device in will simply get nothing - don't want someone tossing their phone out a window when it suddenly won't connect to a home network.

What is wifi network "0x"?

I've noticed that whenever my wifi is on, and also the "always scanning" option is on - my phone suddenly connects to a network called "0x".
It doesn't really work - there is no internet. It happened in different places, inside and outside my country.
Does anybody know what it is?

Old post, but happened something similar to me. Sometimes when I have just connected to my wifi network and I look on the menu it displays "0x". Your phone was probably connected to a public wifi or just bugged.
Still doesn't explain it though
In my understanding, the 0x is a garbage SSID that indicates that WIFI configuration data is obsolete.
Ite wonderful if u ask me ☺?
I booked a hotel room and when i arrived thr...my device got connected to Ox wifi and it has over 2Mbps speed...so i was curious about this Ox wifi hotspot so i searched on google and i found ur post and now i am more curios about it. What the hell is going on lol...
.
In my opinion it may have some connection with rooted devices bcz my device is rooted and i have samsung s8 as well and it neither finds this Ox wifi nor gets automatically connected☺:fingers-crossed:
Edit: As far as I see, it might a bug of Android with special cases of bad connection. Like it connects somehow, but can't get SSID. Turning on "avoid poor wifi" seems to fix it.
Same here. I've saved two wifi connections: one is my home network, other one is a network of free wifi transmiters offered by my ISP (UPC Wi-Free). My phone is Motorola Moto G with Android 5.1. It's not rooted and never has been.
I live around elder people and there were no strangers so I doubt some grandma suddenly established malicious network. Probably a bug, but the bug of what? Android? Some external software? I use Nova Launcher and Wigle Wi-fi. Do you?
0x seems to be prefix of hexadecimal numbers, but it doesn't make much sense. It wouldn't mean "hexadecimal zero" (which would be 0x0), but "hexadecimal nothing".

I've seen it too, then the actual SSID of my home network appears. Maybe Android shows '0x' when it doesn't know the name of the network it's on.
