I just a new G2 yesterday, and was trying to find some way to transfer over my saved wifi passwords from my old phone to my new phone.
I found an app on the play store which looked to have good reviews, and it worked backing up my passwords from my old phone, but attempting to restore them on my G2 seems to have broken something.
Wifi does not turn on at all now. It is stuck in "Turning Wi- Fi on"
I reluctantly did a factory reset (twice) and this did not solve the problem. My next step is to flash the stock firmware, but my browser estimates 5 hours until it finishes downloading... (100-200 KB/s)
Any idea of what I can try in the meantime? Thank you for your help.
What carrier are you on? I'm no expert, but maybe you can find the radios and flash them instead. The download would be much smaller I think.
Also, your Google account should back up your Wi-Fi information as well. When I got my G2 and logged in, all of the hot spots I've connected to in the past were already saved.

Hello. I flashed a Sprint LG G2 to PagePlus. The Flash goes well and All my items stick. But the problem is the connection is unstable. I'm noticed with both the LS970 and LS980 the same problem happens. The mobile data will first connect with 1x then to Evdo. Then the network will disconnect. I flash phones to pageplus all the time and they all have 3G - EVDO. But the unstable 3G is crazy. It will not stay connected. Why are the new LG phones like this? Has anyone encountered this problem and found a solution? I look forward to people's reply because I know a lot of people have run into this problem. Thanks in advanced.

Hello. Absolutely! That's my personal phone! Just make sure when you flash it, you leave the SIM card in the phone. 3g data works, mms, etc. Good luck.

The flashing method is same for all phones. Doesn't matter what kind. I'll give you a good starting place. Viper32 has a forum on here helping people with flashing. And there are plenty of forums with a ton of info. Good luck.
this g2 has been a nightmare for me. i have gotten used to samsung just flash and forget about it, only thing break flash on them is ota. this g2 though..... :/
I'm having same issue. unstable 3g
Sprint probs
What happened with mines is similar but I had the att variant
So I flashed mime to sprint and it worked but only on their 1x network and 3g towers in order for 4g to work and there new spark network I had to get a Sim card and pop it in and boom 4g LTE worked the sec I put it in

No. Call history has nothing to do with flashing. The only way you can lose call history is if you factory reset the phone or you personally delete the call history yourself.

Actually its a known issue with this phone, that it looses its call history when flashed.
It has something to do with the Stock ROM release
I have the same issue.
Also I get a "MIP : 89" error sometimes.
Also, I have a system update downloaded waiting to install but not sure if it'll kill my flash so I've been scared to hit the button.

Is your phone the LS980? I had a customer who updated his LS980 this past week and I had to re-flash his phone. You'll probably have to re-flash as well.

Have a D802 on three uk. Like others went down the route of rooting and flashing cm 11 on my device. All quite straight forward, never had a problem... decide to purchase an s5 so now need to sell my lg. Originally flashed a stock Rom through TWRP and now unable to receive data. Though it was a problem with the rom so I flashed LG firmware through update tool. And have three UK firmware on but same problem!! All toggles selected..data,3G, airplane mode on off, reboot. ..nothing. my 3 UK sim works fine on my s5 so not that. I can get signal fine but no data. Would really appreciate some help as I cannot understand what's the problem. Especially as I can get signal but no data and works fine in my s5 ?

I suspect you didn't do a FULL wipe before flashing....
Suggest you try that first as the APNs for 3UK may be corrupt.
You could try manually setting the APNs but honestly, the Factory Reset option and reflash is easier and fully effective.
The one thing I didn't try. Worked. Thanks very much.....wanna by an lg g2 haha. Cheers bud

I'm having trouble getting my NFC to work on my AT&T D800 LG G2, running CloudyFlex 2.4.
Here's the story, I purchased some Topaz 512 NFC tags, and I can't seem to be able to get the phone to pick them up. I've tried both CloudyFlex and CloudyStock, and neither is able to pick up the tags at all.
Now I'm not 100% sure if it's just the NFC tags that are broken, but I'm assuming not since I got 5 of them and none of them are detected.
Is this a known issue with the D800 running non-stock firmware? Is there any other way I can test the NFC functionality on my phone?

Sorry I'm a noon, don't do all those font sizes and colours and pictures aha but basically... I've been on CyanogenMod for about a year now and have never had WiFi issues. Been using cm12 nightlies for most of this year with no problem however, after updating my nightly the past two days I've been experiencing WiFi Drops happening every min and a half or so. So annoying. I've used Wifix apps etc, no luck. I've reverted to old night lies I used to run without any problems however the problem stays. I've consider flashing back to TouchWiz to see if that helps it but I really don't want to
Can someone please help me. My phone is on contract and my bill is overdue so I won't have mobile data until it's cleared (around June) so if I don't have WiFi, I'm screwed.

Have you tried flashing a new modem? This generally fixes wifi (and sound issues if there are any)
I barely know what a modem is haha but if that's the case, I'll try today.
Here you have a list of modems. Read the topic as it also has some info and the flashing guide.
You need to go to sammobile firmware checker and input your phone model, country and carrier. Then it will show you the correct firmware for your country and carrier. Based on that, download the modem. Make sure you get the latest modem. If you can't find the latest modem on the linked thread, there was another thread with all the latest modems, but I can't seem to find it anymore.

I'm on 5.02 CM12, I downloaded the latest modem for my GT-I9505 which matched the firmware code for a 4.4.2 S4 however still no luck ffs. This is really annoying, i don't know how my WiFi could jist shut off on me like that :/. Looks like I'm going to have to buy myself a new phone then. Can't use my mobile data for a couple months as my carrier has blocked me until I pay off my bill and now with my wifi disconnecting every 2 mins, I basically cannot use the internet. So frustrated.
I've flashed new nightlies, changed baseband versions, factory reset my phone and still no luck. What makes things worse is i cannot see any other threads with people in my postition so help is so minimal :/. Annoyed is an understatement.

Go back to stock firmware if you haven't updated the bootloader.
If it works fine on stock, then re-root your phone and try again with CM12.

Check and see i if power save is on , if so switch it off
Dial *#0011#
This will take you into the Service Mode
Press the left bottom key new menu will show
Select Wifi... Once in the Wifi settings , turn it off...
Do you have to refresh the password? just in case check this
Go to /system
Open the built.prop
search for ro.securestorage.support
If it says true , change to false
Save and reboot
Also if you are skill check the antenna cable inside the phone..maybe is just loose

If you updated bootloader then you can't go back to kitkat roms. Only the 5.0 lollipop roms. But Samsung hasn't released the official update in all countries.
If it still doesn't work, even with official firmware, then it might be hardware related. Maybe even your wifi router.

I purchased this phone 11 months ago and have yet to receive one single security update, much less an actual update. I am using the at&t variant (V350AWM) purchased directly from at&t with an AT&T sim card. I have factory reset the phone multiple times, I have attempted to use lg bridge to update (give an error every time. Yes I have tried different cables.) I'm at a loss. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Well, it still should be under the warranty, you should be able to get it replaced by AT&T. If you don't want to get a swap, then perhaps you can consider cross flashing it with the ULM firmware?
