Hey guys, happy new year!
Android 6.0, rooted. I frozen lots of stuff on my phone a few months ago, phone woks well. Until now,I needed a wi-fi connection (almost never used it since i have unlimited plan) and when i turned on Wi-Fi it showed a message "wi-fi networks available" but when i open settings it shows "searching for wi-fi networks..." but can't find any. I noticed that it connects just fine to saved networks but can't show a list of available one's. Does anybody know how to fix that and/or what process I possibly froze that is responsible for this issue?
Thanks

Running stock, clean install of .12. My Hotspot (which I do pay for, so that isn't the issue) isn't behaving at all. The phone is broadcasting the network and devices can authenticate, but they're not being routed to the Internet once they're in. "Limited connectivity" or "No Internet" statuses on my PC, lack of IP config details on my iPod/Pad.
I called VZW support last night and the guy had me shut the phone off, then he reset something on his end and had me turn it back on again. For an evening it ran like a top. Today I'm right back where I sarted. It *can* work, it just isn't.
Interestingly, when I run Mobile Hotpot, it gives no indication of trouble, but in the Tethering & mobile Hotspot menu in Settings, when i run the Hotspot, I get "Error" showing up in there. Doesn't say what kind of error, no detail/debugging, just "Error."
To recap:
ICS .12, stock
WiFi network ok, Routing not (apparently)
"Error" in settings when Hotspot is on.
Only thing I've seen that sounds anything like this was an APN issue on a different carrier's ICS phones post-update. I'm stumped at this point and like my odds better here than I do calling Verizon again...
I am having the same problem after OTA ICS, I can turn my hotspot on and it says connected to 1 device (my laptop) and when I try to connect to the wifi it takes a while and says "limited connection" and will not work. If I go to my mobile settings it says hotspot...error. usb tethering (internet connection mode) still works but the wifi hotspot doesnt at all, I thought they were supposed to fix this!
I've tried searching and haven't found anyone with the same issue as I.
Jellybean broke my wifi, I had no connection issues before whatsoever.
Now, it still shows it's connected to the network with full strength but when I go to use the internet or any apps, it says there is no network connection, webpage unavailable, no autosync, etc. Things are fine when I go back to 3G and nothing has changed on my phone but the JB update. I've turned Sprint Optimizer off and on, deleted and manually readded all the wifi networks, and am not sure what else to do besides hard reset. Any ideas? Also, I am not rooted.

have you done a complete network reboot (cable modem and wifi router) when having the crappy sprint connection optimizer off?
if this helps you feel free to hit the thanks button
Thanks for the help! I found the answer in another thread... Seems JB automatically turns on "DLNA auto-ip" for some people. The fix that worked for me was Settings>Wifi>Menu>Advanced and uncheck "DLNA auto-ip" at the bottom.
So far I'm loving this tablet (even without root) but have noticed that I lose internet access if I'm browsing for a long time. I still have full Wi-Fi signal (I'm only a couple of feet from my router) but no internet access until I disable and re-enable Wi-Fi. This has happened several times since getting the tablet last Friday. I have 3 other Android devices including an Xperia Z1 and none of those have a problem. It has happened on two different Wi-Fi networks so it is definitely not a router issue. I have tried disabling and enabling the options under Advanced Wi-Fi such as 'Scanning always available' and 'Wi-Fi optimisation' but none help.
There is a Wi-Fi Check app preloaded on the Z3TC and it shows it is failing on test 4 - Gateway/DNS. All of my other devices remain connected.
Anyone else noticed a similar problem? I know it is early days but would like to know if I should return it before I get too attached to it!

I noticed at the beginning also the same...I had some connection problems in the browser and had to reload the page.
Do you have LTE or Wifi Version? Mine is LTE.

Just the 16GB Wi-Fi only version. I did some tests on my work Wi-Fi (streaming music and browsing) and the connection was stable. I'll try static IP and a few other things and test again at home.
Cheers
Yep, I have the same problem.
Wifi connection is not stable. Sometimes I have to wait for few seconds for it to reconnect.
Mine is 16 gb Wifi version only.
Is this a software issue.? Wondering if I should return it.
Anyone found a solution?

Actually, I haven't the problem again since the first week. I'm thinking it may have been a router issue after all (I'm using a Virgin Media SuperHub 2). I've not had any disconnections issues since.
Have you tried the Wi-Fi Test app?
Hello - Have been running XtreStoLite rooted for months now on my SM-G900T. About a week ago all of my known Wi-Fi connections would stop working sporadically. When I take a look at whats going on, my phone says there is authentication issue (password is wrong). It would seem obvious that this is the problem but I know this is not the case when connected to the few Wifi networks I consistently use, because I would have to be the one that would change the Wifi password to connect (I haven't changed it). Also, it may work normally anywhere between a few seconds to a few hours, then bam, out of nowhere I'm disconnected due to authentication problems. Where I'm at now is that there is something wrong with my S5, causing it to send the wrong password credentials. Even if I forget the connection and re-enter credentials it will fail, no other devices have this problem on these Wifi networks. Does anyone have an idea where to start troubleshooting now?
Hi everyone,
6 month ago I baught a Galaxy S3 for my girlfriend and flashed CM11 M12 on it right on the first day. About a month ago the wifi stopped working. That means not only that the device won't connect to wifi networks but the wifi would not even switch on in the first place.
When I go to the settings and click on the switch for the wifi it says "on" but won't show any connections and switches back to "off" after a few seconds.
So I wiped the phone and flashed some different roms (CM10, CM11) but none of those would help either. When I want to activate the device it does not show any wifi connections.
Then I entered the test code *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer app. But there it only shows that wifi is disabled. So that does not help me either.
Do you have any requests?
i got the same problem together with hotspot.
already search the net, and found out it happen after the android version 4.3 upgrade
i still cant find any solution at this time
