All of a sudden can't connect to ANY wifi. Sees them, says saved, but keeps trying but won't get past "saved." You can see the page of wifi options kind of blink like it's trying but nothing.
Have tried "forget", rebooting to safe mode, airplane mode, reboot after reboot, but the wifi indicator stays clear and says disconnected.
Hardware failure? Any ideas?

My next step would be to clear cache partition, then factory reset if that does not work.
How do you clear the cache partition?
Power down, then hold the power and volume down button simultaneously until the device boots. You'll arrive at a screen with an Android laying on it's back with it's belly open. Press the power and volume up simultaneously to display the recovery menu. Choose Wipe cache partition and respond Yes to the prompt.
cant connect to wifi
hello i have the exactl same problem after the nougat update suddenly my nexus 9 cant connect to wifi however it can connect to other wifi networks and through my phone hotspot i have tried a factory reset without any luck please any suggestion ?
Hi, I have exactly the same problem after the upgrade to Android N, arrived by OTA
I have done everything, starting from the ROOT with Nexus ToolRoot from the PC, but any luck!
My dubt is that my tablet was rooted already and, like that, I couldn't upgrade It by OTA to the 6.1. It opened the Recovery page and stop.
With Android N it works, but I have this problem with the WiFi now.
My second dubt is that I can go in recovery only using NexusToolRoot, but if I try from the table it Shows me the robot and "No Command FounD"
Some can help us?

Try the Nexus Root Toolkit from Wugfish...... With this tool you can also reinstall completely to Stock.

I hate to bring up an old thread but I just bought a Nexus 9 and it ran great. I installed an app that it must not have liked and it required me to do a factory reset. Now (during setup) it wont join my existing router. There is no skip button (which is completely ridiculous), but it does 'save' my password, and occasionally it says 'bad authentication'. I've tried rebooting routers, different routers, hot spots, clearing cache, etc. I've even tried various network settings within my router. Again, no luck. I've even successfully reflashed the OS using ADB sideload.
Current vers. is Nexus 9 32GB, Wi-Fi, 7.1.1 (N9F27M, Oct 2017).
Here's the kicker... once in a 'blue moon' it will connect to my router for a very brief moment. Long enough for it to attempt to contact Google servers. It then loses connection, as if it were shutting down it's own Wi-Fi connection internally. Sadly, a connection point is required to continue with setup which, again, is completely ridiculous...
I'm familiar with ADB and Fastboot. I've even tried Wugfresh's software with no luck. Is there any way of unlocking the tablet so I can try out different things? I'd be great if I could unlock the darn thing without having to go through the menus in the OS, but I have no access to them.
Anyone have any thoughts or experience something this strange? How did you fix it?

You can skip the whole setup process and don't need WiFi. At least I know you can with the latest factory image.

Thanks for the reply. Today, the tablets WiFi connected long enough to register it to my Google account so I could use it. I enabled developer tools in the 'settings' section and I also enabled 'OEM unlocking (allow the bootloader to be unlocked)' in the dev options.
I was extremely happy as it seemed to stay connected for quite some time. Then before you know it, the Wi-Fi shut down again and I get authentication error messages. Do you have a link for the latest factory image? I last flash was with the full OTA Image I found on Googles site (N9F27M, Oct 2017).
Should I flash again with a factory image instead because The OTA image doesn't give any type of 'skip Wi-Fi' button.
Thanks again!

Just Google Nexus factory image. That has all the images for all the Nexus devices. Just make sure you get the one for the n9. They're ones for WiFi only and ones for lte devices. So get the one for your device.

You can skip the setup wizard by tapping the 4 corners of the screen. Clockwise I think.

Good to know. If I get locked out again, I'll give it a try.
Just to add to the description of the problem, the WiFi light doesn't come on at all. Only once in a while it does and that's when I get connection (naturally). I also looked at the WiFi menu and this is the error I see under my connection:
Home_Connection
Saved [(1)
{ec:08:6b:blah:blah:blah:60=2412,-62};]
Network_Selection_Disabled_Association_Rejection =4
Network_Selection_Disabled_Authentication_Failure=4
Anymore suggestions, I'm all ears.
Thanks again guys. Really appreciate it.
I have the same issue as well.
I have the same issue. Tried two custom ROMs - 6.0.1 and 7.1.1 Android versions - then went back to the stock OTA version but still I'm having issues with the WiFi. Every so often it will allow me to briefly connect but it won't stay on for long. I'm using a Nexus 9 WiFi device. I've also noticed that the settings app doesn't respond all that well basically - including the normal power off/ restart features. I have to hard reset it by holding down the power button for 5 seconds.

Hi Experts,
Sorry if I sound a little crude and maybe a novice(I am), but I have been a Symbian user so far and finally decided to take the plunge to Android. I received my HTC Hero a couple of days back and tried to connect to Android Market with my google account, but in vain. Tried to use the Google Mail app, but again failed. Am I missing something here? Tried to use HTC Sync with my lappy, but no success.
Provider: Orange UK.
Connectivity: Wifi (No data plan on Sim)
Laptop OS: Win 7 64-bit (connecting usin USB cable)
I have read a lot of threads on xda and on the internet and tried quite a few things, but no success.
Thanks in advance,
Jag
Closing thread as there is another one though not for UK. Will wait for that to resolve.

I had the same problem, and some packet sniffing showed that Android tries to contact google on port 5228/tcp. Our work wifi firewalls non-standard ports, presumably this is why I cannot download from the market (Hangs forever at "starting download") or sign into gtalk over wifi. Switching to 3G data, everything works fine (though the Market stalls a lot).
I had an issue where it wouldn't accept my details unless I entered them in on the initial setup screen.
i.e. if I skipped past the "set up google mail" bit, and went back later, it didn't work.
workaround was reverting to factory install and making sure to enter my account details at the start (and I used wifi since I was in my home, so it should definately work)
It worked for me after i manually set the APN for my carrier.
Please same problem, HTC Magic 32B Ion 1.6, how can I do?
Yes you should always try to log into google at the very start otherwise some problems can be caused.

I did a wipe and all ok
How am I supposed to do this after a factory reset if I connect thru wifi, since I must first enable wifi radio and then put a password, so that means I would have to skip the "wizard" so that defeats the purpose of factory resetting everything... please help.
Solved
Logically, what you say is right, but practically it actually worked
1) after the factory reset, i get the google signin screen,
at that moment, my wifi wont be enabled.....but still i went ahead and entered the username and
password and clicked the signin button
as expected it throwed a message saying "it cant connect"
along with it it also said may be you are not on wifi with a
"connect to wifi button", which will take to the wifi screen where you can connect to wifi and it comes back to the google signin screen, where you login again....
.............there you go it signs in successfully now.
Hope this helps

Hi
I am facing the same problem with my device (Galaxy S2). I am able to surf web with the stock phone browser using wifi, but apps won't connect. Apps connect only through GPRS.
I was wondering if you were able to resolve the issue. Could you please help me ?
Anyone else has a solution to this problem.
My phone has the stock firmware, purchased the phone today.
Apps have never worked over wifi, but the browser works.
Cannot download anything on wifi, for that only my GPRS/3G works.
Please help
I have been using my desire for over a year and it has been great, but now I also have this problem of no market or google mail over my WiFi. I was going to do a factory reset and start again, but after reading the posts on this thread this may not resolve the problem.
Has anyone found a fix for this problem
I have this problem too. I doubt it's the manufacture deliberately use its stock sbf to stop people using wifi to save data bandage. So they can make more money with the mobile operators!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1281034
me too I guess
well i was having a similar problem(would connect to wifi, the browser worked but not the apps).in my case, i have my router setup with the dhcp server off(you have to assign an static ip address manually to every device you that you are going to connect to the router) i solved my problem by enabling the "use static ip" check box and filling all the information(ip address, gateway, netmask, dns 1 and dns 2)on the advance settings tab in wifi settings.
The 4.3 update of my HTC One got 2.8MB downloaded and then stopped. I let it sit for a couple hours and it didn't change at all. I tried several things to "kick" it into motion, but nothing worked (turning on/off data, etc.).
In a desparate attempt to get it to continue, I restarted my phone (bad choice, I see). Now, when I touch "Check for updates" on the "AT&T software update" screen, it doesn't do anything. No dialogs -- nothing.
Is there a way I can clear out the partial download and reset the state of that process and trigger it to start again?
Thanks for any help!

Mine did the same thing. What I found is that it needs Wifi to complete the download. If you restart the phone and let it see Wifi, it should resume the download without any interaction from the user.
Try this
1. I disabled Power Saver Mode and all the options obviously
2. I turned off the option in the Settings --> Power --> Turned off the sleep mode where the data connection gets cut off during long periods of inactivity after the screen is off
3. Went to Settings --> Wifi --> Advanced and then turned on the option for best WiFi performance
4. Set the screen time out to 10 minutes, try to keep the screen from timing out just in case and dont use your phone while it is downloading
5. Powercycled my Router and Modem
6. Restarted the Phone and tried to update then!
GOODLUCK!

A different twist for me...
I'm experiencing a similar issue, but with a twist...
After what looked like a successful DL of the OTA 4.3 OS Update on my AT&T HTC One, the actual update never kicked off.
Now when I touch "Check for updates" on the "AT&T software update" screen, it doesn't do anything. You can see the button move, but you get no response, No dialog, Nothing....
Is there a way I can kick off the DL'ed update file or clear out the [possibly corupted?] download and reset the state of that process and trigger it to start again?
The DL happened Thurs Oct 10th 9AM.. I had a similar type hiccup the last Maintenance Update that AT&T / HTC sent out, and waiting 24 hrs cured that... But, as of now, more than 24 hrs later, No Joy!!
Anyone out there have a fix??
Please Advise.

So, being the patient kind of guy I am, I fought back the urge to do a Master Reset, as the good folks @ AT&T told me was the only way to remedy my issue, and instead slept on it....
Lo and behold, 48hrs after the initial failed DL / No Upgrade, I got the "Update available for my Device" pop-up... The DL was a bit faster, at the end the Upgrade kicked off as expected, and all is well...
Patience is one of the most important tools you can keep in your bag-o'-tricks... Good luck to all out there...
I use an unlocked Sprint phone in India, with the following specs after the update (via the link from HTC).
Operator: Reliance Communications in India
Android Version: 4.3
HTC Sense Version: 5.0
Software Version: 4.13.651.3 CLS310297
HTC SDK API Level: 5.45
Kernel Version: 3.4.10-g3d7f5f9 / [email protected] #1
Baseband Version: 1.13.11.1105
Unlocked / S-ON / Unrooted (root gone after update)
After almost 20 days of usage post 4.3 update, I discovered the following issues. Are they confirmed issues or related only to me? I tried searching various threads for solutions but could not find ones pertaining to few issues listed below.
1) Weak signal strength - I live in the same house, but now not only are the signal bars almost nil (which I gather indicates data signal), I get call drops due to loss of signals and most times people complain of my phone being unreachable.
2) Mobile Hotspot - My mobile hotspot sharing keeps switching off. First I thought it must be due to poor signal strength, but I have checked in different places including places where there is full signal strength. But it just doesn't seem to stay on. And most times, the moment Hotspot gets connected, the data signal goes off, switching off the hotspot.
3) Heats up - My phone heats up tremendously every time mobile data is activated instead of wifi. It happens while trying to switch on mobile hotspot, playing music or videos too. It becomes too hot to hold.
4) Personalise default ringtone - Both ringtone and notifications reverts to default tones - 'Sense' and 'Teal', within half hour of changing to other tones. I have tried with built in tones and downloaded tones, and even with other apps such as ringtone makers to change the default tone to something else, but they just revert to the Sense and Teal.
5) Beats Audio - The Beats Audio keeps coming and going while playing music. Earlier I never encountered that problem, but now its consistent. Sometimes I have to switch it off and on manually to make it come back; other times an incoming message ringtone activates it while listening to music.
6) Poor battery life - Earlier I used to charge my fully charged phone only by evening after extensive usage during the day. Now by lunch time, I need to put it for charge again.
7) Root gone - After the update the root is gone and so has custom recovery (TWRP). I have unlocked the phone again, but unable to reload TWRP with Goo Manager or other methods. How to get root back?
8) Task killer - I miss the simple X next to each app to kill the app. Currently I use Clean Master, but it actually does not clean. I kill the apps, but they seem to be still running. How best can I kill those apps?
9) Contact Images - The images synchronised with Facebook are highly pixelated. Only when I open the contact, the images becomes clear. But after a day or so, they go back to being pixelated, even if those contacts haven't changed their profile pics on Facebook.
I am yet to explore fully to discover if there are other issues with this update such as roaming data etc.
Please help with solutions.
For signal, try toggling from CDMA/LTE to CDMA only and see if that helps. For root, you must first install a special TWRP recovery, the goo version will not work. Use the one in Captain_Throwback's thread. Install via fastboot.

I have been having a similar issue (more intermittent) but when I do the code I never get a menu. It just freezes up a bit and then goes on like nothing happened. (I guess I should note that I'm on 5.5, so maybe I shouldn't get involved here.)

Let me start by thanking you. I just did! I took back-up and reset the phone. Most of the problems listed above (1,2,4,6 & 9) solved. :laugh:
3) still heats up. 5) Haven't got chance to try out Beats issues (its apparently a known issue). 8) Nothing can be done about missing X in task killer.
As for point 7) on Root, where can I find only the flashable TWRP for USB fastboot? Will it work on existing RUU downloaded from original HTC link?

Thank you for the link!
It is my understanding that the Zen2 using only a wifi connection can send texts, do "OK Google", and perform other data related functions even if not connected to a phone (i.e. if phone has both bluetooth and wifi off, or is not in proximity to the watch nor on the same wifi network). Is that the case? Does the phone need to at least be connected to cellular data, or can the watch still communicate over wifi even if the phone has no data connection (or is completely off)?
Regarding the speaker: I know that the Zen2 can play music stored on the phone. But, is there any way (or app) to stream music (or video such as youtube) on the watches speaker without being connected to the phone (watch is only connected to a wifi network)?
Lastly, what about phone calls? Is there any way for the watch to receive/make a phone call "independently" of the phone if the watch is only connected to wifi? If not, what about receiving or making a "data only" call (such as using Hangouts)?
TIA!
1. Watch must be connected to phone.
2. No.
3. No.

You can play YouTube videos (there is an app in the store). But I can't remember if it works on Bluetooth only. The downside is it seems to buffer the whole video before it starts, which took a while with my slow connection.

I still get notifications via wifi if my phone isnt in bluetooth range.
ok google seems to work half the time for me, but only on 2.4ghz networks. They have to be public (w/o a portal that makes you accept terms of use) or ones youve used on your phone (the watch gets the wifi password from your phone)

Hmmm, I am connected to my wifi router, with phone off. I sent myself an email but no notification. I try "okay google" but nothing but the watch saying I'm disconnected.

Make your WiFi is set to automatic (on watch/wear) and you have cloud sync turned on

Okay I have both cloudsync enabled (on phone's Wear app) and wifi set to automatic but still nothing. No email notifications and I have the crossed-out cloud icon on my phone. Perhaps the wear server is not working for me?
Did you just enable those settings now? If so, it probably takes some time to transmit the new info and WiFi password via slow Bluetooth. Leave you watch connected via Bluetooth and try again later.
I haven't tried to observe and test myself, but I would imagine there is some lag with getting the notifications since the watch connects and disconnects from WiFi periodically to save battery, as opposed to staying on WiFi constantly

No it's been setup for a while like that. I just now turned off sync, and unpaired my watch. I'm going to start from scratch, pair the watch and then turn on cloud sync and see where it gets me. Thanks for your help!

OK, also check my previous post edit about lag due to battery saving on watch

Additionally, when you turn wifi on automatic on the watch, stay on that screen until the wifi connects. Once it does, you can adjust the wifi sleep preferences from the advanced menu.

I really would like to see an accurate list of what the Zenwatch 2
is capable of doing if I were to disable bluetooth on my phone &
only use the wifi feature in the phone and the watch.
I know I will not be able to make or receive phone calls if I do that.
But what about all the other functions of the watch?
Will wifi stay enabled in the watch if the bluetooth on my phone is disabled?
-----
Also I still have not found a way to sync/pair my watch to my phone without having to "unpair" after flashing
or restoring a different rom in my phone and setting up all the wear apps, android wear app and all the other
apps and settings which needs to be setup in the phone. (even after I reboot the watch and the phone)
The only solution I found was to "unpair" (factory reset the watch)
and after doing that the phone pairs just fine with anderoid wear
and starts the very long syncing process.
There must be some way of pairing and syncing the watch to the
phone without having to "unpair" it and start from scratch.
Thanks!

Look for "reset wear client" apk here on XDA. It allows you to re-pair watch to different devices or different ROMs on same device without factory resetting

Thanks,, that sounds great but can you please tell me the exact name of that
app in the play store, I did a play store search for "Reset wear client" but I
could not find anything even similar to that name.
Thanks again!

The ADB commands don't work at all, and after much reading in that thread you
posted I finally found out why it's not working for me.
I have upgraded my zenwatch 2 to Marshmallow 6.0 a few weeks ago and I got another
small ota update a few days ago which upgraded the OS version from v1.4 to v1.5 ...
So I am back at square one.
I am not interested in using more than one phone (S7 Edge) with my watch.
The only thing I need is a way to pair and sync my watch without needing to do a
"unpair-device" each time I use twrp to restore a different nandroid backup of my
phone's custom rom or simply restore the same custom rom both of which has
already been fully paired and synced with the watch.

Your watch should stay paired after an update unless you wipe the data partition, or unlock the bootloader which wipes the data partition

My problem has nothing to do with any updates.

I think that apk I linked to addresses the issue in your original post. Install the apk on your phone and it will load the app on to your watch. Once you need to setup your watch with a new phone or ROM, open the reset wear client on your watch. Click the "reset gms" button (root required). This will reboot your watch. Now your watch is ready to be paired to a new ROM or device without a factory reset or re-syncing of apps. Open the reset wear client app on your watch and click make BT discoverable. Then click yes. Now you can open android wear app on your phone and click on your watch. It will say pairing complete and updating. At this point you will reboot both your phone and watch. Then they should both connect fine and function without having to reset or re-sync your watch apps

So i have a clean flashed EU ROM and i randomly lose mobile data connection (4G) for a few seconds and it then comes back. I don't lose the mobile network, but the 4G data sign just vanishes and then comes back again in a flash. This is really annoying especially while playing online games where 1 sec of internet disconnection is the difference between a win and a loss.
I'm on MIUI 11 EU ANDROID 10.

Magisk 20.3

I am using Miui 11.0.4.0, my mobile data totally stop working yesterday. There is 3G, 4G and even Edge signal but no internet. Wipe cache/dalvik and change kernel doesn't work. Ended up I reinstall 11.0.4.0 and it works back again

I too dirty flashed the ROM again and it worked without any problems for sometime and then out of nowhere it started to do this again. I hope it doesn't affect you as well but it looks like it most probably will. :crying:
Might be this will be helpful. What I noticed in Stock Miui 11.0.4 when the wifi calling is ON then I noticed call drops. So I have turned off the wifi calling and using the VOLTE only and everything is fine. I think wifi calling technology is not yet stable enough to use. We need to wait for some more. So you may try this thing. Turn off wifi Calling and set data roaming to always and see if it fix the problem.
Experiencing something similar mobile data is gone

I did that on the first boot but to no Vail. Currently I downloaded the latest vendor from akhilnarang's website to see if it is a vendor problem. Everything I tried before has done nothing.

Are you on EU version like me or the stock global ?
I received the update last week on stock rom in EU. Since then severe problems with mobile data, it only works in cities where 4G+ is available. 4G, 3G and E don't work at all or only rarely.
Does someone have a solution to that? BTW also my camera is broken since the update. After every picture it says "processing HDR+" forever (even showing a notification for that that never disappears). My proximity sensor also has some problems... Never change a running system I guess.

There doesn't seem to be any fix (none that I know of until now). Till now I tried reflashing the ROM, installing the akhilnarang vendor and now I'm testing LTE band locking using network signal guru.
It might just be a placebo effect, but I think flashing the vendor somewhat reduced the problems with mobile data. You should give it a try and give feedback here.
Is it possible to downgrade again by a dirty flash?

I wouldn't recommend dirty flashing Android 9 ROMs over 10. Yo should clean flash.

Well great now I noticed I cannot even connect my phone to the computer, because it says "failed to get information from usb device" in the device manager. Tried installing and uninstallting several ADB drivers and the MI Pc Suite but nothing fixes the problem. Guess I can throw the phone out of the window now.
BTW: Is there no ****ing official website with usb drivers? All I get are websites like "xiaomidriverdownload.com" or "androidusbdrivers.com" or "flashxiaomi.com" wtf is this.

Check the "bootloader unlock" thread. It has links to all the drivers/ utilities you'll need

And one question, do you use any VPN ?
Disable "Xiaomi Framework Service"
Same issue for me on a Xiaomi Mi9 Lite with xiaomi.eu rom.
After lots of workarounds tried I finally discovered the cause : "Xiaomi Service Framework".
It's a system app that resets mobile data connection when it detects or thinks there's no internet connection.
I use an intranet apn to connect to my company network, so my phone is not connected to internet when the apn is active and it was really annoying to have those data connection drops.
As I'm not using any Xiaomi Service (mi cloud and others) and my phone is rooted, the solution for me was to disable the app and problem solved!
Good luck

Hi there!
İve stumbled upon you post. Right now i have xiaomi Mi 9 with stock MİUİ 12.0.3
Since this update İ notice Losing mobile data connection randomly.
i randomly lose mobile data connection (4G) for a few seconds and it then comes back. the 4G data sign along antenna sign just vanishes (greys out) and then comes back again in a second.
İ suppose its very similar to your case. İts getting very frustrating
Have you by any chance got any workaround ?
