I've made a post about this before but got no responses so I'll try it in a different forum.. Simply my wi-fi doesn't turn on. It flashes when I try to turn it on, and when I go into settings it says "turning on", but it doesn't.
I've tried factory resetting, flashing custom ROMs and Rooting my phone and looking at all the files. Tried also some third party apks... PLEASE HELP ME!!!
I have a LG G2 D803, canadian version.
Extra info:
- phone has bootloop problem it when through a cycle of 4-6 reboots once and the last time the wifi didn't work.
- going into advanced wifi settings, the MAC address is unavailable..

Hi I have problem with wifi connection on this phone the wifi worked on stock rom and then on cyanogen for a while and now it stopped completely (its just trying to connect but It won't get IP. I have tried to switch off security on my router and use different wifi connections nothing has worked
I'm trying to update my dad's phone and I'm having the same issue. It fails to connect after saying "Authenticating". I've double checked everything, still no dice.
I'm on CM7.1 too and my Wi-Fi is not working, but the story is slightly different, check my thread for more info

It seems linked to the fact that you may use multiple AP / have multiple AP profiles.
For instance, I have 2 wifi AP at home (private / public), and if I forget the public one (using it rarely), I don't have the stucked following message : "Authenticating" / "Obtaining IP address" / "Connecting"
Several users reported this, don't know if it will work for you.

Yeah, I was answering to the OP because I had a similar issue.
Yours seems more complex, I'm afraid I can't help much.
Hi, I'm having a curious problem with my S3 and I've been unable to solve it. I watched the "noob" video and tried searching these forums as well as a google search with various combinations of the wording for my problem. Nothing matching my issue turned up, I hope I didn't miss anything.
I recently bought a S3 second hand (yes, i know, i should have known better). It was rooted and running some kind of custom ROM when I first turned it on, but I was willing to deal with it until I double checked the procedure for getting it back to stock and starting again myself (nothing against the original rooting and flashing, just like to know exactly what I'm running).
When I purchased the phone I obviously checked that all of the main things worked - calling, texts, mobile data, wi-fi etc. I get home and connect to my home wi-fi and start checking things out and setting stuff up. The phone randomly rebooted. I carry on after the reboot and about 10 mins later, another restart.
To cut a long story short, there is something wrong with the wi-fi. If I turn off wi-fi in the settings menu and reboot, everything works great. No crashes, no reboots. If however I enable the wi-fi about 50% of the time it will crash while wi-fi is activating. The other 50% of the time, it will crash as it goes into the screen lock (either via timeout or pressing the button).
I've re-flashed to it's stock version of Android (using the 'Samsung GS3 Toolkit and Odin), same problem. Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance
You can try updating the modem and RIL to the right version for your country, search in general forum. If it still reboots then try with another wifi source - I've seen some routers cause problems on client machines.
If you do a factory reset when you flash the modem, plus you have the latest stock ROM on board, then any remaining problems are probably hardware.
Test it fully after the factory reset, before you add any apps etc.

After much experimentation and flashing of various files to my phone I have further narrowed the problem. I've still not solved it, but getting closer I feel.
After a clean ROM flash it works like a charm regardless of how much i use the wifi etc. It's only after the first reboot that the trouble starts. It will begin randomly restarting. If I perform a factory reset from recovery mode, it works again, but starts resetting again after a reboot.
Any ideas?
Hi everyone.
I have not been using my Mi Pad 1 for quite some time now. Recently, my brother installed an app that allows him to disable other users from connecting into the wifi. He stopped using the tablet because the wifi detects the network but does not connect (stuck with "saved"). I tried removing the SD card and restoring factory settings but still did not work. I also tried connecting it to a different ISP but it didn't work. All other devices are connecting to the home wifi with no problems.
I flashed the tablet with CWM and cyanogenmod 11 on both systems 1 and 2. Same thing. I was detecting Wifi but not able to connect.
I have also tried modifying the router settings as usually suggested by other users. Still not connected.
I also tried renaming WPA_supplicant.conf to WPA_supplicant.bak - it did not work as well
I have tried draining the battery completely and charging it again until 100% charged. Righty now, the tablet wifi is stuck on "turning on" status.
This is actually my first time doing a root, custom recovery and custom ROM install. I am really impressed by the guides posted here in XDA. I really hope there's still a solution to my problem.
Thanks for all the help!
*******I don't think it is a hardware issue because the tablet still detects available networks and is able to connect to bluetooth devices.
Hello.. Did you fix your issue?
Hello all,
I recently rooted an old Samsung Stratosphere in an attempt to turn it into a mobile Kali device, and after rooting it using a custom ROM ("root zImage" that I found via googling and a forum post on rootzwiki) and then performing a factory reset, I now have no wifi or BT, and no MAC address. Attempting to connect to my wireless network results in the phone starting wifi, attempting to scan for a few seconds, then returning an error message of "unable to scan" and turning the wireless radio back off. Also, now the phone tries to activate every time I turn it on. I can bypass the activation by enabling soft keys (I googled that also), but how can I disable the auto-activation?
I installed CWM recovery and did a factory reset, no change. I removed the SIM card (I even tried a different one from another one of these phones I had laying around with a broken screen), no change. Why would the MAC address disappear? Isn't the MAC address tied to the actual hardware?
It's a shame that this perfectly good hardware is so difficult to re-purpose to use as something else. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. I am willing to learn Android development in order to figure this out, but I'm really not sure where to start, and I expect this will take some time to get to a point where I can develop my own ROMs and apps. I have downloaded the Android Studio; where should I start? Thanks.
Problem: flashed Lineage 2023214.. wifi wouldn't work.
Flashed recovery from TWRP backup. Wifi still won't work. (turns itself off)
Need a plan, suggestions..
Thanks for help
I don't know if it's still necessary, but that used to happen with wifi scanning enabled. Go to Settings, tap on "About phone" 8 times to unlock developer mode, go into System\Developer options, search for WiFi scanning and turn it off.
Also, lifehackerhansol released a newer build of that ROM today, so you might try that, too.
