Hey guys!
As the titles says, I updated my G5 H831 (Canada, Fido) yesterday and the wifi stopped working. The slider is greyed out and will not turn on. When I tap the slider to enable wifi it slides over, but after exiting the settings app and reopening, it reverts to the greyed out off position. I've already tried and factory reset, battery pulls etc. Does anyone have any info on this or have had similar experiences?
Have you tried turning it on with O.K Google? If its set up try saying: "O.k Google, turn on Wifi" ?
I've tried turning it on in settings, notification menu and with "Okay, Google" to no avail. I'm hoping this will be fixed in the next update if it isn't a hardware issue.
I have had that kind of issue last year with my previous phone.
Have you restored your data with titanium backup?
Edit : your model can't be root so I think you didn't restore...

Sounds silly to wait for an update for a pretty necessary feature on a smartphone (unless you're lucky and have unlimited data?). Just replace the device under warranty- LG warranty lasts for 1 year. It definitely sounds like some sort of defect. Have you tried factory resetting? Always factory reset if you find an unexpected problem, or at the very least, the system cache partition.
Not sure what build your variant updated to, but I'm at the May 12A update on Verizon with no such issues

I tried a full factory reset (wipe all partitions). My phone is the Canadian Fido vatiant (unlocked,) and I have unlimited data with WIND here. Not sure how to go about getting a replacement device through warranty as Fido considers getting a phone unlocked voiding their warranty.

Didn't know you unlocked it. If it came unlocked, though, LG would be the ones to warranty it. Idk what Fido is, but it's an LG issue.
Fido is just a carrier here in Canada. How do I go about getting the LG factory warranty?
Update:
So I tried turning WiFi on again out of habit. Lo and behold it turned on! Not entirely sure what caused it to stop working (or start working again, for that matter) but it's working now. I'd still like to figure out why it quit but I'm not too sure how to go about doing that.
I see its working for you again, but just in case you run into issues in the future, Fido should be able to direct you to the LG Warranty process for you. I've had a few warranty issues in the past 5+ years with my Verizon carrier and I just call them and they set up shipment for me .
Anytime I've done it, they overnight me a refurbished phone, but idk if that's a Verizon thing.. they definitely send it to LG for warranty, but idk if most people have to wait for repairs and my carrier is just cool and will give you the refurbished one.

What solved this for me was removing the sim card and turning on the phone without it. As soon as there was no sim card in the phone the MAC address returned to normal and wifi worked again. I put the sim card back in and it continued to work perfectly.

I tried what you said and it didnt work for me. This never happen till i updated my rs988 recently.
I too have the same problem on my LGG5. I tried everything to get the WiFi button to work. I took it into Rogers and they sent it to get repaired and when I got it back it worked for 10mins. It went back to being grayed out as soon as I started to reinstall my stuff on the phone. So they sent it to get repaired again. I think that since I've been without a proper phone now for 1 month that if I get it back and it doesn't work that I will have to try and get LG to replace it. After all the phone is only 3 months old. Has anyone else managed to get them to replace the phone without difficulty?

Please if you found solution reply here, but read at least first post before.
1. Does AT&T SIM reactivate WiFi, after other operator SIM used? - Yes (in my case), but you may need to reboot (soft) 2-3 times.
2. Does Motorola Update 1.57 solve the WiFi problem? - NOT IT DOES NOT.
3. Why part of unlocked phones have WiFi problem and others not? - Open question, as it is NOT a hardware failure, it is somehow related to unlocking process.
4. Is there any solution at all? - Honorable member crnkoj is developing the solution in this thread
IMHO WiFi related issue currently deserves sticky. Also it would be perfect to have one stop FAQ for WiFi related issues.
Im using an unlocked atrix n the wifi is working fine...
You in the lucky group. Mine is unlocked and none of the many potential solutions get me on wifi (short of tossing a broken sim in, which is a pain...)

1. Apparently people who have one, reported it reactivates wifi after a few reboots, otherwise you have to put in a broken sim and do a factory restore to get it to work
2. It does NOT (not the leaked 1.5.2, not the leaked 1.2.6 and not the prerelase 1.5.7)
3. i think it has something to do with a config file or an app that blocks it (altho im leaning toward a config file that gets from the carrier some info and not really blocks but more like a bug disables wifi, because of some conflict)
4. you can use your phone with sim card and 3g/4g data, while preinstalling everything before on wifi, or just use it a a small wifi only "tablet". I am unfortunately not that good with android/linux to figure it out on my own (i sort of got the phone into a boot loop 3 times now, trying to delete apps/ change config files in the /system dir). One of the forum/irc users is nice and tries helping me , but he doesnt have the phone himself so, hard thing ...
5. Hopefully the released source codes will help, doing a semi custom rom without the att bloatware, which could probably fix the issue.
What about the new update that was just released does that fix the problem?
It seems up to now there is no solution for wifi problem. Several reboots doesn't work for me. Please respond if someone was able to succeed.
BMW, maybe read the 2nd point of my above post, no update fixes it.

I thought the new update started with a 4 but now I figured it out sorry.
It was big buzz week ago on broken wifi on unlocked AT&T phones. Now I can't find even the thread on that. Did you people find solution?
I have upgraded to 1.57 and it is definitely not a solution.
I tried hard reset with non-working card and wifi on hardware level works perfect. As soon as I've put working SIM in, it stopped and even reversing to non-working sim doesn't help. hard resetting every time is not a solution.
Still waiting for final solution.
I unlocked my Atrix in Australia. I shall walk you though my steps to see if you can pick out anything specific. I was very worried about the WiFi issue so i took many precautions.
I bought the code from Cellunlock.net - using the android50 code to bring it to $20
in the meantime I used an old, inactive SIM in the phone and on boot I would just hit dismiss on the network unlock screen and run the phone on WiFi on my home wireless. (WPA2 key)
When my unlock code arrived (2 days) I went to the wireless settings, DELETED my wireless network from being saved.
TURNED OFF WiFi entirely
Turned phone off properly and replaced the SIM card with my active Vodafone AU SIM
on the network unlock screen, I used the first code out of the two they provided and it was accepted
went back and re-added my wifi network, and doneeee all is working well.. hope this helps someone somewhere.
Thanks a lot DarkRyoushii
Problem is that I received my Atrix already unlocked. I contacted Cellunlock.net if it is possible to unlock it second time, but they responded it is impossible.
What gives me hope, Motorola has to sell originally unlocked phones and their ROM should be free of this AT&T crap. So using that ROM supposedly will help.
I have an AT&T Atrix and the unlock code didn't adversely affect my Wifi. I've actually never had an Android that locked onto Wifi as well as my Atrix. It's tight as hell. Never, ever drops!!
I don't see the correlation between the two but maybe there is some weird quirk. Not denying anyone though. I just wonder what the heck Motorola did to the framework to cause that to happen. Weird.. hope it gets patched up too.
I hope this gets fixed soon. I have an atrix with the sim unlocked. I cant connect to wifi, and I cant get passed the motoblur to set debugging and root the phone. This is very frustrating. I'm in qatar so I dont have a att sim, nor do I have a broken sim either. I guess I have a $600 dollar paperweight.
mine is perfect

Don't put any sim in it at all then turn it on. You should be able to connect to wifi that way and get past the setup.
I don't have an atrix yet but I heard that this works. Goodluck.

Did you try my solution it should work. ( it was right above your comment)

Your wifi wont be fixed after you put a sim in but it should get you past the motoblur sign up.

Guys, if you have 3g (or in fact any) data available on your sim its not a problem. When the motoblur setup tips up, click the settings hard button (the one to the left) choose "configure apn" (or something similar), put in the data you get from your carrier and bam, you should be able to finish the setup.
Wargame1 I bought several sims at eBay and is planning to check with them. As soon as they work, I'll let you know and even send you one from Baghdad.
Wifi problem is not solved yet. When Motorola is going to start selling originally unlocked versions? Their rom should help.

just try it with mobile data man, youll be able to activate motoblur...
and erm, you probably wont be able to install the unlocked rom on the att atrix, sicne you cant change the att/bell roms on the phones either .... maybe just a /system reinstall, like the Gingerblur/Gladiatrix mods
Hello all,
To put my issue simply, I am receiving the "Not registered on network" error on my phone. I have tried many things to resolve it and to help narrow down the possible problems, I will explain my situation and what steps I have taken to try to resolve it. I appreciate you taking the time to read my detailed explanation in advance, as I wish to be as clear and informative as possible.
My phone is an unlocked Australian Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300). I bought it about 6 months ago and about two months ago had some issues with the display come out of the blue. I was able to get this issue resolved through my warranty. When I received the phone back though, I thought it was all working fine but then I noticed I couldn't send SMSs or make calls as my phone wouldn't connect to my phone network (Vodafone). I tried reboots, hard reboots, restoring backups, using a different SIM card (from a different carrier) and I still couldn't get it to work.
During this process of trying to fix it myself, I rooted the phone. So when I realised I couldn't fix it and it could possibly be a hardware issue, I sent it back to be fixed under warranty. Unfortunately my warranty was voided when I rooted the phone, even though it was broken before I rooted it.
So a few days ago I received my phone back again and spent about 6 hours trying to fix it. Here's what I tried...
I tried to flash the latest Australian firmware (XSA) which is the same as the one I initially had when I purchased the phone. I tried factory resets, different firmware flashes, custom ROMs, different modems etc. None of this worked. I thought I had found my solution when I stumbled across ARIZA's patch, but event this did not solve my problem.
The really strange thing is I can occasionally connect to the network and if I try repeatedly, I can sometimes get an SMS to send. I've checked my SIM is clean (I've tried another SIM anyway) and everything seems fine.
My IMEI number is still intact and isn't blacklisted. I've tried restoring backups from when it was working (before I got it "fixed" the first time) and that's not worked. The current status of my phone is:
ROM: Omega v5.0
Version: 4.2.2
Baseband: I9300XELLA
Network: vodafone AU (sometimes shows as Unknown)
Mobile Network State showing as "Disconnected", except in rare moments
IMEI and Serial intact
I've tried all I can think of and all the suggestions I can find on the Internet. I'm hoping someone here will have some suggestions for things I can try. I'd really like to fix this issue as I've been without my phone for months. I'm thinking it could be a hardware issue, but want to make sure I've exhausted all options I can try myself first before trying to get a place to repair it. As my warranty is void, I'm not sure how easy this will be.
Thanks in advance for your time and suggestions,
Jay.

Return to a stock rom and use triangle away to reset the counter, retry with your provider, they may let it slide that you've previously tried.
It would appear that you've already tried everything.
Return to stock and update via OTA, remove root, remember to use triangle away, I personally haven't had to do it but i would imagine that it needs root privileges to complete so thinking about it i would say to use triangle away first.
Hope you get it sorted.

Hey,
Thanks for the quick response.
I doubt they would let it slide as I had a pretty long back and forth with them trying to get them to fix the phone or at least send it back to me without charging me for the shipping costs and that didn't end in my favour. I'm sure they'd remember that they already rejected it due to it being modified and would just blame the rooting for the issues.
I'm thinking I might just reset it all to stock, reset the counter and at least ask. If not, I'll try to find a repair shop who will take a look. Thanks for the suggestion. I'm still open to any other ideas people might have which I can try from my end.
Thanks,
Jay.
Starting point would be correct firmware modem and CSC for your location and network .
Flash your original rom .

Hey,
Thanks for the suggestion. I believe I have tried this by downloading the latest firmware from SamMobile and flashing that through Odin, but I haven't tried it through Keis, so I guess I'll give that a go.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks,
Jay.
Me too. I've an i9305 (S3 LTE) and i've tried every tutorials on internet and so far nothing: always the same issue "not registered on network". In case you solve the issue please let me know. I'll do the same. Txs
I've tried to connect my phone using Keis and it just seems to say "Connecting..." forever. I've tried running the connection troubleshooter and that just seemed to re-install the drivers but not actually fix the issue. I still can't get Keis to even connect to my phone.
Any ideas on why this would be? Or other suggestions I can try for my initial problem?
Thanks,
Jay.
As an update to this, it seems I've tried everything I can on my end to fix it to no avail. I believe it must be a hardware issue and have dropped it into a phone repair centre. I'm hoping they will be able to find the problem and fix it.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Another update to this, I received a response from the repair centre. They said:
"...we took it all apart and checked all connections and serviced it.
Once we put it back together we tested it with Vodafone and Optus sim cards. Both sims had service and were able to connect to the internet as well."
After I asked for more details on what they did to try and help me determine what the problem was, they said:
"The phone looked 100% fine inside, no signs of water or any other damage. Sometimes electronic devices can be a bit temperamental, maybe the fact that we undone and cleaned all connections it's booted it back to life."
So I'm going to pick it up tomorrow, but it sounds like it's all sorted now. So not it's not 100% clear what the issue was, but to anyone having this same problem who has tried everything like I did, it is likely a hardware issue. Your best bet is probably to try a repair shop (assuming your warranty won't cover the problem).
Thanks to those who offered suggestions and good luck to those with the same problem.
Do please tell us if it worked because i'm tempted to do the same as you did before selling it on ebay as faulty for parts. PLEASE ANSWER US BACK AFTER TESTING IT an entire day. THANK YOU A LOT!
Does it work properly now? Thanks - Please reply.
Not sure if it is exactly the same problem but I remember getting that msg when i was on Telstra and I'd installed a new ROM - I went to the Telstra site and got them to send an activation msg that reset my provider info. It didn't seem to matter for phone calls but I wasn't getting any connection to do with data until I 'ran' the msg they sent.

Txs for help but I don't have the backups of my efs folder... so I think it is useless therefore i am going to sell it on ebay as faulty for parts. Unfortunately! I love my i9305!
You should probably do some more searching on site - there are a number of things to do, including getting a service centre to fix it. Be cheaper than a new phone. Is it an i9300 or ann i9305?

It's a i9305 and I've tried everything, every tutorials on internet without success so far. I am tired of the situation and also very disappointed therefore I think i will sell it as faulty. As it regards to a repair center, near my area it's very difficult to find someone who can fix it.
For me it seems my connection is still intermittent when using my Vodafone SIM on my S3 (and the same for another Vodafone SIM I tried on this phone) whereas both SIMs work fine on other phones.
I then tried a Telstra SIM on my S3 and it worked fine. So it seems I have a weird problem with my phone where the combination of the S3 and Vodafone doesn't work, but other phones or other SIMs do work.
I think I'm just going to try changing carrier (I've been meaning to anyway) since it seems their SIMs work in my phone.
Really not sure what is causing this issue, but I'm at the point where I just want it fixed and I don't really care how. Hope you find out how to solve your issue.
How is your phone right now? Im also having the same problem. It always say 'not registered to network' everytime i make a call. This happens whenever i turn on the flight mode, then turning it off.. i have a strong signal and i can use the internet provided by my network but i cant make a call or text.. people cant also reach my number. I sent this already to samsung service ctr and they changed the board but its still there whenever i access the flight mode..

Hi...the same, no solution so far. I am actually selling it on ebay for parts. I simply gave up.
I just downgraded my Verizon LG G3 down to 10b from 12 and rooted it, did supersu and flashed TWRP and all is fine there. I then checked off Survival mode in supersu as well. When I went to my update section in settings I got the message that my phone is not yet registered. Now I did read those other threads that explain that when using a flash tool you need to pull out the Sim card, which I didn't do nor did any one of the guides that showed me what to do say anything about that step. So is the fix going to Verizon and buying another Sim card and then inserting it and doing a factory reset? Will I lose root if I do this? Is that basically what I do? Turn the power off, remove the old Sim replace it with the new one turn the phone back on go to settings and do a factory reset? Will the Sim activate that way or do I need to let Verizon themselves do this for me? How does the new Sim get reactivated for my account?
EDIT
And now I am noticing I am getting downgraded to 1X instead of 4G about a half hour after I reboot, happens every time. I assume that is due to the Sim card issue as well
EDIT #2 Damn now I notice my IMEI number is 0000 0000 0000 0000
Damn I guess I am screwed, thought I would have some answers by now lol. I regret rooting the phone....
Has this not happened to anyone else? Losing the IMEI number but the phone still works? The only major issue I seem to have is I can't use OTA to get back to build 12 because I get that message saying the phone is not registered yet and also about 20 minutes after starting the phone I all of a sudden lose 4G and it goes to 1X. I reboot it goes back to 4G and 20 minutes later back to 1X. I am hoping the not registered yet message is due to maybe a screwed up sim card and hopefully the 4G issue as well. If anyone has any ideas at all please reply. Also will reflashing the phone rebuild that efs partition that stores the IMEI number? As I am under the impression that totally reflashing back to stock rebuilds all the phones partitions.
HERE IS ANOTHER CLUE
When I go into settings in 1X mode, if I turn airplane mode on and then off again a few seconds later I go back into 4G mode for a short while then it goes back to 1X. I am really hoping my sim card is to blame for this issue as I will get a new one today to test it out.
Do some research and look at the G2 method to restore IMEI. Use the hints of how to downgrade version by tot method in connecting G3. It can be done. Try to stay off of Verizon in mean time.

If anyone has any ideas at all please reply. Also will reflashing the phone rebuild that efs partition that stores the IMEI number? As I am under the impression that totally reflashing back to stock rebuilds all the phones partitions.
HERE IS ANOTHER CLUE
When I go into settings in 1X mode, if I turn airplane mode on and then off again a few seconds later I go back into 4G mode for a short while then it goes back to 1X. I am really hoping my sim card is to blame for this issue as I will get a new one today to test it out.

Check this thread for your IMEI issue...it may work for you too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-t3033445/post58915450?nocache=1#post58915450
Good luck
Thanks a lot for the help guys. I was at work all day so I didn't see that 2nd link or I would have tried it before I did what I actually did. I went to the local Verizon store and told the salesman that in trying to get my phone to be able to use a PS3 controller (which is the truth) me and my buddy downloaded software onto the phone to alter it so it would allow for the controller to work with the phone so I could play games with it. Again all true I just left out the name of the software and I handed the guy the phone after telling him how my Sim card seems to be whacked out and my IMEI is gone. He changed out the Sim card and that did indeed fix the phone not registered issue and also the 4G problem was gone too. I was going to leave well enough alone when he said while your phone will work fine it is showing up as an unsupported device on my computer, it is still within the 14 day exchange period do you want me to swap it out with a new phone? I said that we altered the phone, wouldn't I have to pay for a new phone as that voids my warranty no? He said well I see you are eligible for a discount and since you bought this LG G3 near Valentines day I can offer you a free LG G Tab 8.3 tablet, I will knock off the 10 dollars payment per month from another phone that you are owed a discount on and basically all you have to pay for is the 40 dollar activation fee and sign a 2 year contract for the 10 bucks a month that you really won't be paying since I am knocking it off of another phone for you. Do that and I will just wipe this phone again as it works fine and we can easily fix it and I can just set you up here with a replacement and you will be good to go. I couldn't believe it lol. So I walked out of there with a new LG G3 plus a free (not really free since it is 10 bucks a month but he took 10 bucks off of a different phone which would not have happened if I didn't go there today) LG G-tab tablet AND I TOLD THE TRUTH!!!! It probably doesn't hurt that I now have 8 devices attached to my account and send somewhere around 360-400 dollars a month to them lol.
Glad it worked out for you! Yep, I'm sure it doesn't hurt that you're a non-benefiting "shareholder".
I have the VK810.4G (Verizon LG G Pad 8.3) too.
Hello my friends.
I got the lg g3 ls990, every time that i try to turning on Bluetooth and wifi it just stuck in turning on but never does. And when i look under hardware info it says mac unavailable both of them. I already tried installing a custom rom and flash stock rom with lg flash tool but nothing worked.
It weird that this happened becasue it was working fine.
Can u give me some ideas how can i fix this problem? or it could be a hardware issue, but both of them at the same time?
Thanks !
ive had a similar issue with an LG G3 wifi wont stay on goes on/off gets greyed out shows on but it not etc etc......bluetooth the entire time works fine. i have tried EVERYTHING from reboots to reloads.... various firmware versions various modems and multiple kernels...even full LG Flash tool restore to bone stock etc etc....finally called Squaretrade and got a replacement phone.
I've also encountered this issue just yesterday. I got so frustrated that I ended up factory-resetting to stock just to see if it would go away. However, even on an unrooted stock version, the problem persists. I was running on the BareeZVC rom for about 2 weeks too, and out of random, the wifi is no longer connecting. You have to leave it for like 2-3 mins for it to show up again and then it disappears back to it's off state. Does anyone have any clue as to what the heck is going on? Also, my G3 has been passed down to my brother as I already have an S7. Please help!
I am sorry as I can no longer be of help, but I have recycled the Sprint G3 and purchased the Canadian variant of it. Best of luck guys!
This is suddenly happening to me, too. The Sprint store employee said a factory reset is about a 50/50 chance of it working so I rejected that as a solution. I'm eligible for an upgrade anyway, so I think I'm moving phones, if not carriers, too.
Seriously considering the Nexus 6P.
Since around 3 p.m (est) today, my phone has stopped receiving signal, I tried to put the sim card in my friends phone and it worked just fine. Anyone has any ideas why and how to fix it?

What is qcn and what might be the reason my phone got blacklisted?
Same thing happened to me two weeks ago. Phone would only connect to the network after a full reset. I'd reinstall my apps, reboot and it would not reconnect to the cellular network. Switched to my backup phone (Nexus 5) for 3 days... After that switched the SIM back to the V10, reset the phone again and it has been working fine since.
Weird!
i have same problem, and till now my problem not solved. help!!

It's hardware
I also have this problem. It's happened on two phones. Would be curious if anyone else was using the ROM from Andy Zhang? http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/general/rom-v10-development-forum-t3461890
I never had that issue until using that ROM (which is great in all other respects). Maybe it's a coincidence..
yeah my old v10 sim slot got killed as soon as I tried Andys Rom too. Phone works fine, just cant figure out how to get the sim card slot back. All my sim cards work fine on other devices.
I am having a terrible LG week with these darn devices..
With Andys Rom you'll need to change a few things in build.prop and add a tmo apn. IIRC
I bought LG v10 imported unlocked from ebay, the phone working fine just week and now showing "No Service", i tried factory reset as well as hard reset, also tried #*#*4636#*#* but its showing "This app is not working on this device", What to do now ?
Good question
