Is anyone else having trouble connecting to Wi-Fi? I haven't had any trouble up until now. Other than root,busybox and TWRP I haven't modified anything else. Just started not connecting within past few days.I wiped cache and dalvik/art in recovery but still no go.It sticks at obtaining IP address.

Do you have Comcast/Xfinity? Could be the the Wifi bug with Comcast and Lollipop.
No,I don't have either. Its connecting again. Strange. Nature of the Android beast though I guess.

You can try, setting ->wifi -> menu -> avanced setting -> uncheck verify internet access

Mine when I leave the house and come back it doesn't auto connect back to my WiFi unless I re connect manually

hmm... When I use Chainfire's pry-fi app (which changes your wifi mac address) on non-nexus devices, it seems to cause trouble.
I have the same Wi-Fi Problem. No Settings helped.
Router: German Speedport W 724V
I used to have this problem b4. Connected home WiFi but no Internet. And I need to disconnected WiFi and use data to check if it connected to Playstore. Then enabled WiFi to see it work. Very frustrated. Its something to do with the Google DNS with my previous crappy Internet Provider which is CrapCast(Comcast). I just switched to Verizon FiOS last Sunday and never have any problems now on all my devices.

I have recently lost my signal from my WiFi at home but my phone still picks up the WiFi signals from the neighbors. I exchanged my first 3d for a new one but I still have the same problem. My ipod still picks up and uses the WiFi signal and was wondering if anybody knew why this maybe happening.
Thanks,

Try resetting your router. Or try updating the firmware of the router. Also try forgetting the network in wifi settings and then try logging back in. Or do a factory wipe.
Locked & Loaded
just turn wifi on and off, no biggie, works pretty well.
Check out WiFi Fixer in the app market. Solved all of my problems.
Whoa, before you do all that other stuff.
So your ipod works with your router? And your phone connects to your neighbor's router? If so then most likely your router isn't a problem, nor is your phone.
Android's wifi stack does a really good job of automagically connecting to the best available wifi spot. Do you see your wifi router in the Wifi settings? If so, long press and connect to it. If you have authentication set, then it will prompt you for a password.
Let's start with that then go with more, if needed, and will probably need more information that you provide.
My phone doesn't even see my WiFi connection, it can see all the other connections only... I've traded my phone in not only for this problem but other problems and this problem still looms. I'm thinking its in my settings that were transferred from my other phone? I don't know, help please...

Man its might be your router. Have ya even tried just resetting the router back to factory defaults??? Its a tiny pin size hole on the back of your router "or at least it.should be" Henceforth, find a needle or safety pin and press the that button for like 10 or 15 seconds and wailt 2 to 4 min. After that go to your wifi settings on your phone and click on your network name and chose forget. Now look for your new network name and which should be an open and unsecured network. It should have the manufacturing abbreviation in the network name so if its say a belkin it might be -belkin123 unsecured- also it should be open because when you reset the router it erases all of the security. Also routers firmware should always be upgrade. Not saying this will solve your issue but it might and its a really quick way to rule out if its your router.

Some of the "perm-temp" root scripts caused this, if you used some of the older ones, you may be experiencing this.
The solution to it was to "forget" all your wifi connections on the phone, power it off/battery pull, then reconnect.
Of course, if this doesn't fit your scenario, disregard.
For some reason I am unable to connect to my home WiFi network. It acts as if it is about to connect by saying authenticating and then stops and does not connect act all. Then after if I try to connect to the network again it says "Failed to connect to network". I have noticed this has happened to me before when I flashed the Viper ROM so I just went back to stock. I do not know why this issue is occurring.
Try fixing permissions in recovery. This appeared to work for me.
Something else to check is the setting called "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep": System Settings --> WiFi --> Menu --> Advanced. Try a different setting and see whether that works.

I too have been having Wifi connection issues. I was on Viper with no issues. I was trying Carbon and thats when it started. I tried crpalmers kernel with no luck. I was trying to follow his instructions to check for modules but it seems to be over my head. I dont have much experance with adb. The last time I flashed the kernel i wiped cache and dalvik before and after and fixed permissions.
Thanks

WPA2 on both home and work routers. That's not the issue for me. It seems that when I try to connect manually, it fails. When Android connects by itself, it usually succeeds.
wep has no security if you want wep to work change router to wpa/wpa2 then connect then go back to wep and then you weill be able to connect at starbucks or mcdonalds whileiing eatting or drinking your self high as hell

Wait so are you saying I change my router to WPA/WPA2, connect, and then change back to WEP and it will work?
Side note, will all of my devices still connect without having to reenter everything if I keep the WEP password the same?

I can't seem to connect to my router at home. I'm able to connect to another router closer by,but not mine.I've tried changing encryption type from open to wep, to wap. But no luck. Every time it attempts to connect it says authentication problem.

Try looking at your router logs when the error happens to see why it's not authenticating. Try rebooting your router.
BTW wep and wap are not recommended for authentication...that **** can be cracked by a 12 year old. Use WPA2 personal.

Netgear wgt624 I v3 i'm not home but I'm pretty sure that's the model #. Firmware updated directly from netgear website. It's weird because I can connect to open router next to my house.
The instructions are on page 4-6 in your PDF manual.
The log is a detailed record of what websites you have accessed or attempted to access. Up to 128
entries are stored in the log. Log entries will only appear when keyword blocking is enabled, and
no log entries will be made for the Trusted User.

So what youre gonna want to do is open your logs, clear them, try to connect on your phone, then look at your logs to see if the router even sees the attempt. It should show any errors as well.
What does your phone do when you try to connect?
edit: couple more questions...can anything else connect to your router? Also, your router is also a firewall. When you log in you might try and disabling the firewall feature altogether and try connecting.
I'm gonna try the logs now, and yes 3 computers are connected wirelessly. Also the phone says connecting...then says authenticating problem. I know my password is correct for sure. I'll check the logs now

Okay very weird I cleared the log file on my router. Then I attempted to connect with my phone and it gave me the authentication problem. Yet there isn't a single log file on it through my router. As if the router and phone aren't even reaching. I refreshed multiple times.

Thats strange. Your router *should* be logging auth issues.
Have you tried forgetting your wifi network on the phone and reconnecting as new? And yourer showing password to make double sure its correct? If it is, the auth issue is probably a security mismatch. Router set for WAP, youre trying to connect with WPA2, etc. Double check your router how auth is set up.

Can your phone connect to other routers/AP's using the same encryption? Or do you know? Possible your keys are corrupt.
I was having similar problem with my at&t htc one. I resolved it by enabling RTS/CTS protection in my router. See my post here:

Have you updated the firmware in your router? If so, check to see if there is any new firmware. Also what is the bit length of your passphrase? 8 or more characters. I would also have your encryption set to WPA 2 with AES not TKIP. Also try setting the channels from auto to a fixed channel, start with 1 and go from there.

Then it is some issue with your router, time to buy a new one. Only other thing I would suggest is hard reset the router, reset it up and try a 10 digit passprase with all numbers

I got my HTC One today and I have exactly the same router and I have exactly the same problem. Old LG 2X would connect like lightning. Tried different encryption, reset router multiple times, nothing.
Sorry if it is an old thread. sorry for bump.
I also had this "Authentication Problem" issue on my HTC Pico a few days ago.So,I also tried restarting my router, changing password and stuff like that. but it didn't worked.
out of curiosity I then switched my phone into airplane mode and waited few seconds and then back to normal. to my surprise, my phone automatically got connected to the wifi without any hassle. and hence problem solved.
Randomly, my wifi will stop working and I will be presented with a "your connection is unstable" message. It works again if I toggle wifi off and back on again. I've done research and none of the suggestions have worked for me. I'm running HD 15. I cleared the system cache, reset router to factory, disabled the 5ghz (it's a dual band Buffalo router), updated firmware. Any ideas?

I'm experiencing similar issues after I took the 4.4.2 update, and now previously stable wifi access points are not very unstable, I have great signal strength but it wont pass data and I get that stupid connection is unstable message. This is ridiculous, and this is a fully clean factory defaulted install.

But have you tried disabling " avoid poor connections" and set to " auto " band or maybe even try just the " 2.4" band to see what happens.

I got my VZW S4 to stop throwing that error by assigning a static IP to it. So instead of my router assigning a new IP address every time the S4 connects, it always connects with the same IP. No more of that "internet unstable" error since doing that.
Worth a try.

WiFi Tether Router worked for me with the LG G4 settings. When I tether now, my "tether" usage stays put and the mobile data goes up instead. There wasn't a way to copy the APN, though, so I had to make a new one from scratch (with the settings from the WiFi Tether Router help page).
Is the only way to change to ipv4 is by creating a new VPN setting? When I press and/or long hold on ipv6, nothing happens. If it matters, I am rooted.

My data slow leaks to hotspot..maybe 60mb for 2 gb...however if I stream slingbox or the nba app the data goes right from the hotspot...hopefully someone figures that out because I use slingbox all the time on the weekend's.
With this app, I had this issue on my n6 and this device. And with the language barrier, I can't seem to explain my problem to the creator of this program. Basically, it works fine, then all a sudden in the middle of streaming to my tablet, it just stops. And on the tablet, the wifi tether no longer shows up under available wifi. But in the phone, it says wifi tether is active. I refresh on the tablet but wifi tether no longer shows up.

Who know what u r doing as I have a idea but wouldn't say I know all that much about this
