4.4.2 WiFi wont find any networks .. - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Pretty odd, up until yesterday it worked great but suddenly my WiFi cant find any networks.
It only works when i installed the application "Wifi Manager". Only with the app i can find and connect to WiFi networks, which means the WiFi is alive and well, but without this app, and only using the WiFi on the Settings menu i cant connect or find any network.
I tried to Wipe Cache and Davlik, issue persists.
Any suggestions regarding the issue ?
Thanks guys.

Does it still sync/connect to internet when you're connected via USB with Zune?

Problem with wifi

hello,
i have the following problem with wifi on my zopo zp 700: it connects to our home- wifi, but only grey connectifity stripes, not the blue ones i get usually. it says "connected" but internet doesnt work.
when im at work the wifi works fine.
i started the dignostic tool by dialing*#*#4636#*#* and found out that there are 2 configured versions of our home wifi there, one with keymgmt (ID9) and one without (ID10).
it seems that the phone connects to the wifi without kegmt and this causes the problem. when i disable the network with ID10 (the one without keymgmt) it works until i switch off the wifi and on again. then the network with ID10 (and all others that i had disabled before are enabled again)
as there are several other networks that i dont know but seem configured in this list, i wanted to know how i diable or delete these unwanted networks from the list of configured wifis?
thx in advantage and best regards,
nick
Try to factory reset your wifi or gateway

How do you do that? I opende the engineer mode but did only find different testing modes for wifi..
Reset button or something like that on your wifi device. Let use them to reset to factory
Make an hard reset :good:
This might be a stupid idea, but can you not just go into Wifi settings, pick your home network name, and select 'Forget'?
Make sure you forget all you want it to forget (i dunno if it will list it twice or not)...
Then re-do the settings with correct password...fixed?!?
You should check if you get an ip address from your wifi router.

Wifi Not Working Correctly?

I tried searching and I have not found a solution yet. I'm running SHOstock-I with ktoonz kernel on android 4.4.2.
For some reason, my Wifi randomly disconnects from any currently connected wifi network. The first thing I try to do is to connect back to the wifi network (any available network), but it simply tries and says "Connection Failed". Next, I try to disable the wifi connectivity alltogether, but after I tap the toggle button it becomes "greyed-out" and I can't toggle it.. it just hangs. If I go back a step and then select wifi again, then I can try to disable it but the same thing just happens again.
If I reboot, then wifi works again.
Oddly enough, if I enable/disable teathering, then wifi starts to work again.
It seems I can't run Wifi for more than an hour without this issue happening. It seems to have just started doing this out of the blue. I suspect a full wipe would solve the issue but I'd rather not do that unless I have to. It usually takes me a while to get things back to normal after a wipe.
Any ideas?
Some solved the problem by unInstalling the Smart Wifi utility (for ATT and maybe other carriers too).

Thanks, but I don't have that app installed. I am positive this is not a router issue as well.
Everytime I wipe cache/delvik then the issue doesn't occur for a few days, which I think is odd. I also tried different kernels and the problem persisted.
Does anyone know if it's possible to confirm if this is a hardware issue? I doubt it...

It is a good idea to turn off any 'connection optimizer' or 'wifi optimizer' application or setting, in short anything that decides what connection is selected based on available connections should be turned off. The most probable reason for the problem is badly programmed software.

Wifi on Lolipop 5.0 G870A will not connect

For the last week or two I have been unable to connect my phone to wifi networks.
At first the problem would be that I was getting disconnected from any wifi network I joined, now I can't connect at all.
The wifi networks page sometimes (not always) does not detect a strong network even if I am standing a few feet away and the phone has previously connected and other APs are connected and working like my pc
If I try to connect then I get the "Connecting" status followed by "Saved,secured"
I have searched the internet looking for a fix to this and tried wiping the cache partition, forgetting the network, airplane mode toggling on and off, apps that wipe the known network list and some others including lastly a factory reset on the phone but nothing seems to remedy the issue.
From the wifi router I have tried using an unencrypted (open) connection
Now I think I may also be having problems with the bluetooth connecting in the car but I haven't had a chance to really investigate that one yet and it may or may not be related to the last factory reset.
My phone is not rooted.
Build no. LRX21T.G870AUCU2B0F3

Can anyone offer any assistance to my current issue ?

I have just confirmed that the Bluetooth in my car is not detecting my phone when it scans (the phone bt is switch on and the visible box being checked) so that's both radios with similar issues.

Im having same issue with wifi... sm-g900r4
I just stumbled on a clue, while using an app called 'wifi cleaner' there is a feature allowing you connect to wifi networks within the app. I type in the password, authenticating is shown on the screen followed by "incorrect password".
I know the password to be correct..
Mmm

I was wondering if you ever got this issue fixed?
I thought I had but the problem comes back in a different way.
Sometimes wifi connects but only connects at 5 mbps.
Now wifi will not turn on at all. ( radio button is greyed in settings)
I did find a thread on xda where some Motorola users were having the wifi off issue and it was due to a missing system file which could be replaced on a rooted device. However I don't have root on my s5 g870a and it's not likely I can get it.

WiFi Connectivity issues in Ad based networks

On days, I hav tried to connect to WIFI network of Moscow Metro Stations. I tried it before and everything works. But suddenly I started to have issues while connecting. I can't find out the reason. I tried to reset all, hardware format, restore with factory images nothing works. I contacted to support of the WIFI, they say that there's something in phone that switch to mobile data instead of wifi as for Accessing to wifi, it redirects to page where I need to view some adds. I looked at wifi preferernces and turned off Smart WiFi Switcher. I tried to turn mobile radio off, airplane mod nothing works. What to do to get WiFi work in this situations ?
