Hey guys,
My aunt asked me over to help her installing her S4. I did all the things she asked and after I explained some stuff like the tiles (Wi-Fi had been on all time). So I pressed the Wi-Fi tile on and off. After I turned it off, it just wouldn't turn on. When I go to the Wi-Fi menu it shows it is turning on and off. After a while it just stays off and won't try to turn itself on again. It is just stuck in some kind of a loop...
My aunt told me she had exactly the same problem a few days ago and went back to the shop, but before she could be helped the Wi-Fi started working again. I tried turning the phone on and off (dohh!) and reinstalled the latest firmware through samsung KIES, nothing worked. This phone isn't rooted or anything, just out of the box.
My attachment shows what servicemode says @ wi-fi
Could anybody help/advice me please?
Thanks in advantage!
Try factory reseting it

Hey guys, thanks for replying. I turned the phone off overnight and wi-fi started working again after I turned it on, I had the same problem again this morning when I switched the tile on and off after downloading navigon maps and set it again off for 30 minutes. Now it works again. So weird, but I'm glad I'm having an HTC One S , no just kidding ,the s4 is marvellous

Yeah I tried that didn't work, but my friend just phoned me saying it's working now after a fully charged battery, I thought it was very strange it had about 60% on it
Try to remove the batterij for like 2 min. and put it back in. Start the phone, hopefully it works again. However this is the second time I got this problem (with the stock rom). I kinda hate Samsung right now.
Anyone else having issues with the wifi turning off on its own? Got my S5 yesterday on AT&T. There have been a few times that the wifi will turn off and it can't be turned back on unless I restart.
I've experienced this with wifi settings as is out-of-the-box and when I changed the option to only have it on during sleep while plugged in.

Wi Fi involuntarily turning off and cannot turn on without rebooting
I'm having the same problem. S5 goes to sleep when waking the wifi is switched off and I cannot turn it on in settings. I have to reboot

Try this, go into settings, press wifi, then press the button consisting of 3 dots in the top right corner and then press advanced. where the settings state "keep wifi on during sleep", make sure it is set to always.
also check the wifi timer is not on either.
Let me know how you guys get on

Yes, that's the problem. It is fixed by not using the feature... Great, isn't it?

I have the exact same issue and am thinking to call warranty and see what they can do. This happens on any router, very annoying. You can avoid phone restarts btw, just put the phone in airplane mode and back in normal, when you do that it will be able to turn wifi back on. I am wondering is this bug on every att galaxy s5?
this bug occurs when you have the keep WiFi on during sleep option off. this saves a lot of battery, and to me avoiding this option isn't a fix to the problem, because on every android device I have I make sure WiFi turns off during sleep and never had issues reconnecting back when I wake up the device but galaxy s5 has that issue
Anyone has a fix for this? I attached a screen record. I'm on stock kitkat rooted. This happens everytime I am connected to any wifi network, then after some time, I will notice that I got disconnected and upon checking the wifi, it was stucked on turning on. Turning airplane mode on and off didn't help me. Rebooting the phone temporarily solves the problem. Hope there is a fix. Thanks.
Here's the screen record link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v2qi183hzozuqzg/SCR_20140806_092403.mp4
Anyone? I can't even connect to mobile data once the wifi got stucked in turning on.

i have the same issue but mine is not rooted what i did i download this one app via google play called WIFI FIXER.. it fixed it.. all you need to do every time you will open your wifi you just need to access that app and open it from there..
i actually talk to tech sup of LG they told me that the 1st batch of LG G2 phone could not handle the new update for kitkat that's why its affecting the wifi and Bluetooth feature of the phone.. its either you let them fix it they will replace the board of the phone or you need to buy one..
My wifi was working very well. One day suddenly it went off. Initially I thought it was a connection problem, but eventually I discovered that the wifi toggle switch refused to start. It was stuck.
I did not upgrade or change anything (Currently running stock android 4.3.) In a bid to correct it I even did a factory reset. But wifi issue remained.
Did everything mentioned in various YouTube videos. But in vain.
The only way I can turn it on is by switching off the phone, removing the battery 4 a minute and restart. Wifi worked but to 5 to 10 min only.
Removing battery every time 2 start wifi is nuisance.
Pl advice.

I would advice you to do the following
=>Disable all power saver settings
=>Remove any battery saving App
If it doesn't work try
=>Installing the newest Official Firmware from Samsung(4.4),Download it from the sam mobile site
If that doesn't work well then i cant help you anymore
Hope that helps and hit the thanks if i helped
Dear Sammy,
I did exactly the same. Installed the 4.4.2 but a new problem has emerged. Wifi shows connected. I can also see the white wifi icon on status bar. But in fact is not connected. Can't open anything. Not even router configuration ip address.
To make sure it was not a modem/ router issue, I checked d connection on another phone. It was working perfectly.
Here too I tried switching off for couple of minutes but on start it just shows connected when it is actually not. (Confirmed several times on other phone)
Plz help.

Hi all. I'm not sure if this has been sorted elsewhere, but I've found some answers, but none seem to be working, or they don't pertain exactly to what's happening here.
Basically, my phone won't connect to any wifi. I've tried at home, work and my mothers's house, but nothing. If I pull down the notification bar and tap the wifi icon nothing happens, and if I go to settings - wifi - and flip the switch from off to on, it just says turning on for ages and then goes back to off.
I even factory reset the phone and wiped the cache and restarted, but the same thing has happened.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks
Chris
