Same here, done the same things as you... & whenever I attempt to turn on Wifi I get a 'security notice'
(See my post here)
Only thing I can think of is Samsung has balls up the firmware somehow (I've seen a LOT of problems people been having with latest firmware - just not Wifi not turning on)
Only thing left for me to attempt is to 'rollback' the stock rom IF I can find a 4.2.2 version somewhere (& find out how to do it without having to rely on WiFi)

[Q] Wifi won´t activate on stock 4.2.2/cm 10.1

Hi Guys,
I have a problem with my nexus 4. I wanted to use cyanogenmod instead of the stock rom, so i rooted my device yesterday and flashed the latest stable build of cm (10.1.2).
Everything worked fine, except for the wifi; it won´t turn on. It get´s stuck on the "turning on wifi"-page, wtih the button in off-position and saying "turning on wifi".
I´ve read some threads were people had the same problem, but nothing seems to fix it. I made a factory reset, wiped cache and dalvik, fixed permissions, but in didn´t work on cm 10.1.2.
So i tried a different build, cm 10.1.1 stable, but the problem persisted. I tried the same things I did on the 10.1.2, but it did not help. So I tried using the latest nightly, but that didn´t help either.
I thought i go back to the stock build to fix it, because it still worked after I rooted the device and still had the stock on it, but unfortunately that did not fix it. I made a factory reset, and wiped cache and dalvik again, but it just won´t work.
Long story short, i don´t know what to do now I rooted and flashed several devices before and never had a problem that did persist even nafter i tried multiple buidls of cm and wiping everything everytime; so if anybody has any idea where this problem comes from and how i could fix it that would be really great

Im having a similar problem, i think we have to flash a different radio ?
Still nothing
Flash a different radio? What excactly does that mean? I must admit I have not heard of that :laugh:
By the way, I just unrooted my device and relocked the bootloader, but that didn´t fix the problem either.
Stock CM Kernel? If so, try flashing kernels with prima drivers. If the problem persists, I guess it may be hardware. On another note, do you have bluetooth or GPS on? Try turning those off and try connecting.

I just tried the franco R163 with prima drivers, that did not fix it. But, speaking of the bluetooth, i´ve just noticed that the same problems occurrs with that. I trie to turn it on an it stays at "turning on bluetooth" without actually turning on. Maybe that helps to know what the problem is.
What other kernel with prima drivers would you recommend?
Edit:
I´ve read through a few threads on that bluetooth-issue, which apparently is more common than my wifi issue. I was wondering if my wifi-issue could have something to do with the bluetooth, because other users who have said bluetooth issue found their bluetooth temporarily on after reboot; then after a while the bluethooth issue appeared again.
In my case the bluetooth doesn´t appear to be on, but i was thinking that maybe it is, but the software fails to display that and that that is interfering with my wifi.
Could that be a possibility?
Out of the box my nexus 4 refused to connect to my TPLINK wr941ND router, wifi was set months ago, nexus 7 works as charm same with evo 3d and others. I thought wtf and turned on wifi on broadband modem, it showed up on nexus 4.... And suddenly network from router poped up as well. I switched off wifi on modem and nexus lost wifi from router. At this moment I went for a walk... When I come back done factory reset, reboot the router, no effect. Changed settings from WPA2/QSS to WPA without QSS - no change, then I changed channel from #13 (best in my location, all my neighbours using #1 and #6) to #1 and instantly nexus found network.... So it seems that sumthing is apparently with wifi, when I changed channel back to #13 it drops the connection and says that networtk is out of range. So finally I checked all the channels from 1st to 13th and it works from #1 to #10, 11 till 13 dunt work. Maybe this info will help sumone with simillar problems.

[H] Can't call and answer to anybody.

Hi guys.
What should I do, if my major function of the phone doesn't work?
When I try to call somebody, phone hangs (can't see even screen with options of the call), but it is actually calling.
It's weird to have this not working at all.
Tried reinstalling rom, installing other roms. Still the same. I did format to everything what's on my phone.
Help!

You need to give more information than that inorder for us to help you , are you using 4.3 custom/stock ? check youre baseband version, and check what kind of bootloader do you have (To check your bootloader go to download mode and if you have a KNOX WARRANTY VOID then you are having the new bootloader.

Oh I'm sorry.
Now I'm using Phoenix V.7 rom. It is 4.3 touchwiz rom. I tried other roms also (4.4.2 - 4.4 - 4.3 - 4.2)
My baseband version is XXUEMK8 (today I thought about modem problem, so I installed XXUEMK8 instead od XXUEMKF, which is recommended for Phoenix rom. The same on both modems) New bootloader.

Tried many times. Installing other roms (always full wipe), formating, changing modems.
It's like I hit the green call button to call somebody, phone hangs and screen is flashing.
Have you tried reinstalling a stock ROM with Odin?

No my friend, I have not tried.
Which one is stock? How to install stock ROM with Odin? Which option should I choose? PDA or Phone?

[Fix]Wifi disconnecting after upgrading to 4.4.4

Ok, so this is my experience, i updated my phone with the new 4.4.4 update and using it just fine for the last couple of weeks, today after i messed up some setings i decided to do a factory reset, i rebooted to stock recovery and did a wipe data/factory reset, after i made all my settings and installed all my apps i noticed the wifi was conected but not working, i went to wifi settings and unchecked avoid poor connections and wifi optimization, all was fine, but didn't understand why before the wifi was working just fine, after another factory reset i decided to do another factory reset but from the settings of the phone located in backup & reset, after that the problem was solved, now i have checked only wifi optimization and the wifi is working perfect. So i think the stock recovery is buggy, because i tryed once to clean the cache partition, and it took 10 min and the phone just reseted itself, on 4.4.2 was the same problem, only the wiping was faster then reset (still a bug).
So the conclusion is do a factory reset from the settings of the phone, not the stock recovery.
I am running stock firmware, stock recovery, locked bootloader.
Please, if someone try this fix, report back
stock recovery mode could help
Yaa , since i updated my moto g with 4.4.4 couple of weeks ago , i m facing this issues , wifi seems to get disconnected if i moved to another room . i've checked in all options available for wifi settings , nothing works . maybe wipe data & catch partation could help . you better goto recovery and try this one .

Is the phone running the latest stock ROM? Tried a factory wipe? Was the phone dropped?
The phone did not drop anywhere. Also I throw the factory reset (With Recovery)

It's possible that the wifi cup has failed. I have have two s4 motherboards where everything works except wifi.

I could only fix the problem by replacing the motherboard.
