Wifi won't stay on Please Help - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is my first post ever on xda and I am in desperate need of help. I have a droid razr M that recently recieved an OTA update to 4.1.2. My wifi would not toggle on after the update. I thought I might have gotten a virus or something so just to be sure I unlocked my boot loader, flashed 4.1.1 stock back onto my phone, wifi worked just fine. OTA update again to 4.1.2 and it immediately quit working. My sister and brother have the same exact phone and this did not happen for them. Please help, my phone has basically become useless to me since I cannot connect to wifi. Thank you to whoever can help me with this problem.

How much do you care about losing user data? You could wipe user data and see if that would fix it...

Your WiFi settings could have reset after the update. Check the settings to ensure that you have unchecked ignore weak signals.

Also make sure you have Wifi switched to "Always" in advanced settings. Keeps Wifi from turning off when your screen turns off.

Out of options need help!

My droid x is on pageplus' network and I'm running Gummy 1.20. Just recently my phone starting acting a little off so I sbfed back to stock. After the sbf I forgot to boot into Linux before flashing the milestone x firmware to the phone. I then reflashed to stock and correctly flashed the milestone x firmware. I then rooted the phone once again and rebooted into a backup of a custom rom. Everything on the phone is working fine except the data now refuses to work. I tried contacting pageplus but the troubleshooting that they gave me consisted of making sure data was turned on and that's about it. I also called Verizon but they were unable to help due to the fact that I'm not a customer with Verizon. I've used the extent of my knowledge to try to fix the phone but alas I've had no luck. I have discovered that when I turn on data the gprs service just says connecting and is unable to connect. I've taken the phone to a few guys around town but still no luck. So if anybody has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Does anyone know if I could use page plus' ESN change and change my service to another phone and then change it back to my droid x? Would this have the same effect as if Verizon had "refreshed" my data?

I have solved my problem. I called page plus and had them switch my service to a different phone and then switch it back.

What are your APN settings?

Make sure your APN protocol only has the value "ipv6". Perhaps you see this mentioned in a recent post...

Uk here.. dial *#*#4636#*#* set phone network from wcdma prefered to LTE/GSM-PRL, turn radio off then back on .. now even though they are the wrong settings it's the only way i can can decent 3G(H) speeds and not have the minute or two 3G lockups... shrugs.
I have the same issue and I'm with Tmobile. I was on stock ROM and now im rooted on xylon ROM but still data wont connect sometimes . I made new apns too. I have to toggle data or power cycle to connect

Service keeps dropping

I have pacman rom 23.0.0 installed. Unlocked bootloader. I'm using T-Mobile gsm. My cell service randomly drops stopping me from being able to call or text. Also, the rom keeps checking the "use 2g service only" box and i constantly have to UN check it? My stock backup has disappeared and Matt's utility does not work for me? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

This used to happen to my old Droid 2 Global which was unlocked for GSM. I used it on AT&T and sometimes the signal would drop completely and a reboot would be the only way to bring it back, and my Razr M often drops data connectivity (though signal still remains strong) for a couple minutes at relatively frequent intervals. I think it's just the problem with using phones meant for CDMA on GSM networks.
With that said, what does Matt's Utility say? Have you installed the Motorola drivers found here ?
If none of that helps, try going to a T-Mobile store and asking for a replacement SIM. It sounds kinda dumb, but I had a Nokia Lumia 710 that would randomly reboot throughout the day. Somewhere on the internet I read that someone else had the same problem, and replacing the SIM fixed it. I thought it was stupid at the time, but I got a new SIM and it worked! Crazy stuff.
thanks for the reply. unfortunately it does not matter now. i used rsd lite to flash to stock which all went good but there was an ota update that took and the phone rebooted but will now not turn on at all no matter what. It is totally done... I only get a green light while charging or plugged into the computer but nothing works to bring it back to life. Thanks anyways!!!

Tethering may be disabled on your carrier. Btw you might want to try and give us some more info. .. did it work before? What did you do to make it stop working? ..

[Q] Nexus 4 with Android 5.0.2 and MetroPCS

Hi, I bought a used Nexus 4 off eBay with Android 5.0.2 (edit: 5.0.1) on it. I'm trying to use it with MetroPCS. I can send/receive calls and texts on it, but I have no data connection. Wi-Fi is working.
I've tried taking the sim card out/in and I've also tried every APN setting for MetroPCS I can find, with no luck. Any other ideas?
This may not be the issue but worth a check: Check under "settings", "data usage", that setting "cellular data" is set on. It somehow turned off on mine once and resulted in the same symptoms.

I forgot to mention I checked I that too. I think I've checked most of the likely culprits by now.
Are you sure it's on 5.0.2? There is no official 5.0.2 factory image for the n4 so you must be on a custom rom. I'd flash back to the 5.0.1 factory image and see if it works then

Oops, yes, I checked, it's on 5.0.1. Don't know where I got the idea it's on 5.0.2.
