Wifi problem: no password any more until reboot - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm using an HTC One M7 with latest OTA stock rom (5.0.2 with Sense 6.0 and kernel 3.4.10-g6388905) and it "loses" my wifi passwords after some hours after booting. The password entry in the connect list is then empty and it is not possible to enter a password there. It is not possible to turn Wifi off. I then have to reboot and then for some hours all passwords are there (without reentering them!) and Wifi works. The next day it is unable to log into Wifi.
Sometimes even the telephone is unable to make a call then.
I tried a soft reset and a factory reset, but it doesnt help.
It came after the last OTA update to 5.02, I think.
Regards,
Stefan

If the flash was successful, then try a hard reset as first. (Don't forget to save your data, because all of them will be erased on your phone, except mSD card). You can read about it here point 15th.
Good luck!
i flashed the old rom back to (2.13.531) then lost the wifi on/off (greyed out), then did a hard reset as suggested. the wifi on/off is no longer greyed out, and the wireless networks are showing available (my home network) but 'connecting' msg keeps 'circling around,, and not connecting like before.

[Q] Wifi does not work after upgrading to ICS

Upgraded Galaxy S2 to latest ICS update available in India.
But after that Wifi is not working properly. WAP2 authentication is not happening properly.
Wifi analyzer shows good signal strength.
No notification for wifi shown in top bar. But in notification dropdown wifi is full green.
tried battery remove, wifi sleep policy change, password change and *# code to reset driver.
Any other help?
thanks

Are you sure the password you entered is correct? Because this problem shouldn't occur if you're on the official firmware and kernel. This MAY happen if you're rooted and have a custom ROM installed which is in a BETA state. This is normally a problem related to the kernel itself. You should probably try restoring your phone if the WIFI doesn't work at all. Or maybe you can restart the phone again and there might be a fix.
doing a factory reset also might help... it helped me in my case.
which from you upgrading ,via KIES or ODIN.try to download firmware then flash via ODIN.i m had the same case first time come to ICS.
sorry for my bad english
Some solution
I updated using Kies.
BTW, I have some work around, for anyone interested.
On wifi router disable WEP encryption (not WPA), in that case S2 can connect to wifi properly.
But when WEP encryption AES or any other is enabled, it cannot connect to wifi.

[Q]Erratic WiFi after 3.24.531.3 Update. Turns off when trying to connect to network

A few days ago I got a software update notification for 3.24.531.3. I ran the update and everything seemed to work fine. But when the phone rebooted I noticed I was no longer connected to my WiFi. I figured I just had to retype the password because of the software update. I typed in the password and hot "connect" and the phone froze for a few seconds. Then it flashed an error message say "unable to connect to network" and the WiFi turned off. So I tried connecting to an unsecured network and the same thing happened. So now my WiFi isn't working at all.
At the time, I was completely stock, not root, locked bootloader, nothing. So I though maybe unlocking, rooting, and flashing a custom ROM would fix the problem. I've tried a few different ROMs and they all have the same problem. I can turn the WiFi on and scan, but as soon as I try to connect to any network it freezes and turns off. I even get an error message say that "Settings has become unresponsive" and asks to send an error report to HTC.
Then today, I got another software update message saying there is another software update available but I can't download it since I can't connect to WiFi at all.
Any ideas what I can do to fix the problem?
Go to your settings and rename your phone "HTC One"
Problem solved.

Thanks for your reply
I've tried that. I got it renamed in the WiFi Direct setting and in the About>Phone Identity settings, but when I type in the password it hangs then pops up with "failed to connect to network" and when that closes the WiFi is turned off. It's like the WiFi turns itself off while it's trying to connect.
I've gone through and turned off all the Power Save and Sleep settings thinking that was causing the problem, but that didn't do anything either.
Just flashed with a Stock 3.24.531.1 RUU and still getting the same problem. WiFi turns on and off erratically. I restored my google setting which saved my home WiFi password and it connectst to the network, but has no internet. And everytime I try to change the WiFi Direct name to "HTC One" it "fails to rename device" and WiFi is turned off. Hopefully now that I'm back to stock I can use internet pass through to download the new software update and that fixes the problem.
Was able to run the OTA update to 4.4.2 and am still having the same WiFi issues. I have no idea what the problem is
