I have this strange issue with my wifi on nexus 4 , for some reason i can only connect to the wifi networks that are remembered by the device, I am unable to search for and connect to any new wifi network. I have tried many roms and kernels but this problem is still since 4.4. The only thing that I haven't tried is a full wipe... if anyone could shed some more light on this problem or have a solution then please help a brother out
what radio do you have installed? have you tried flashing a new radio file?
are your existing remembered APs restored from Titanium Backup or some other apps? if so, perhaps you want to do a fresh restore of your WIFI access points.

Installed the OTA update and re-applied unRevoked root. I can't maintain a wireless connection for long. I initially thought it was my router and rebooting the router actually does temporarily fix the problem but it happens again. How do I know it is not the router? My other wireless devices are working! I disable wifi on my phone and reconnect but still have no service. Rebooting the router is the only temporary fix. Gah.
I would say it may be the Rom over the OTA. That is of you're running a custom Rom or anything that's not stock. Are you running the latest radio? The .09.10,check to make sure. If your other devices are working without dropping then that eliminated the router for the equation. If you want to make sure then try connecting to any open WiFi connection to see if you have the same issue. If you do then u know for sure it's not your router.
I would try doing a nandroid first then wipe cache and davlik and flash your Rom again. Do not do a factory reset. Once you boot up just test the WiFi again b4 doing anything. If it works then just restore your apps if needed via Titanium backup.
If u have the same issue then at that point u can do a nandroid restore.
Multiple option,am confident one of them will work,good luck.

i had the same issue running fresh 3.3.0 .. and what i saw that my phone wasnt connecting at all but my laptop and my sisters top were all connecting. So i went into the wireless router ip address .. whatever yours may be. re-entered my password and WALA.. it started connecting to my phone again.. it was strange but thats what worked for me
So I dont exactly know what is going on. I go to connect to a wireless network and it will start to connect, say its obtaining IP adress, and then refresh and start all over again. It never actually connects and stays connected. I know its not the router because I have tried numerous networks (that worked before) and now they just stopped working. I did have trouble with root and I re unlocked the tablet because root wasn't working. Is there anyway I messed something up? I installed the 3.2.2 rooted rom and now I flashed back to moray both with the same non-working wifi result.
Anyone know what is going on?

Did you by chance restore system apps and data through Titanium Backup? Sometimes wifi is messed up by restoring a previous version of the system app and data over a newer version supplied by a custom Rom.
You might want to just wipe everything in recovery, reflash your Rom and set it all up again fresh.
my WIFI was messed up when I swiched Kernels way back. I had forgotten to push one of the files... when you switched ROMs, did you wipe first or did you just install one over the other?
have similar issue after going from hammerhead 3.2 to moray 2.2.2.
Infrastructures wifi works fine, but whe trying to connect the xoom to an ad-hoc (from Nokia jokiuspot) just keeps displaying "obtaining IP address". Never had a problem with hammerhead? Guessing it has something to do with the dchp client on the Xoom¿
Certainly not a big problem, and something I am more than happy to live with as is.
everything else working spot on. Using a UK wifi only!
UPDATE - Problem sorted via philos64 thread at the top...
Should've tried that 1st, but posted here hoping someone would confirm that was the route to take, as it wasn't actually bricked... Never mind, all done..
Why??? Was out earlier so I turned my wi-fi off and my mobile on and everything was working fine..
When I got home, I turned the mobile off and tried to turn wifi back on, but it is hanging on 'Turning wifi On.'
Tried rebooted the tablet a few times and rebooting the router, (BT HomeHub 3), but still the same problem.
This N7 is rooted and running 4.2.2.
When I look at the Advanced Wifi the MAC and IP address are unavailable.
When I go into Wifi Analyzer it says the wifi needs to be turned on and tries but gets same hang and retries...
On the left of the analyzer it shows my Wifi ID with a mac address underneath with a yellow triangle and 'No Signal!' in red.
The wifi from the router is working as my phone is connected via wifi.
Any ideas please people ???
:crying:
going for the post with the most views and zero replies is not on my bucket list... So I'm going to reply to myself..
An Update....
The problem is still there, so I went into bootloader - recovery mode....Then I went into Android system Recovery.
I selected cache then wipe dta/factory reset.. Reboot then starts tablet as new with the unlocked symbol, then goes through the initial setup. Select language, then it does Select wifi and displays 'Turning on wifi'.. Hung...
Would flashing it via Nexus root toolkit sort out then problem... If so, any clues what flash and how...
If it wouldn't fix it... Is the tablet now bricked??
Please answer someone if you know..
Cheers
There have been several posts about wi-fi problems if the outer shell of the N7 is separated and not fully locked in. A loose or separated shell can cause a disconnect in the wi-fi antenna. Check for any separation and maybe squeeze the front and back together all the way around the outer edge.
I did read them and a lot of other threads but they were mainly to do with wi-fi looping and not connecting.... I couldn't find any other post regarding just 'turning it on'.... And seeing as it's sorted with just a flash of the stock rom, I can safely assume this problem had nothing to do with hardware...
Hence why I was surprised I was the only 1 with this 'type' of prob.... (but I didn't read every post so I may have missed one).
Same problem too

im experiencing the same thing. im using Samsung galaxy S4 i9505 LTE and on android 4.3/ rooted Baseband i9505XXUEMJ5. it happened when i was trying to erase all the bloatware on my phone using Trulyclean by schoolsux. after i flashed the script i started having this problem.so far ive tried to do a factory reset by using custom recovery, tried to download the modem fix and flashed it through odin and do the advanced settings on wifi and uncheck the auto network switch. The problem that i have is yes it say "connecting" for 2-3 minutes then it gives you a list of possible wifi connections and then you connect. another 2-3 minutes then it wont connect. repeat the steps and now i can connect, then if you turn off the wifi you will have to go through the whole process again. it doesnt save any wifi connections you have connected before. there are 2 other ways i havnt tried yet and that is to flash a different kernel. a custom kernel and reflashing my phone again with the android 4.3 then root:laugh: for the nth time already:fingers-crossed:

i have same issue with htc one x, my wifi doesn't wan't to turn on. it stuck on "turning on...", i tried to flash different roms, etc, now i think about flashing kernel, did you do that? did it help?
Same problem on N4
Have had the exact same problem not once but twice. One day it works perfectly fine. Next day, it just stops at turning on process.
On my N4 the 4.2 was working fine. Along comes the 4.3 OTA update and the wifi stops working. Does not startup or show the mac addr either.
Did factory reset, wipe cache and even reflash binary from google stock images. No relief.
One day, the wife using gmaps started the gps location service and pop the wifi started,
Now after the 4.4 OTA all seemed to work well till yesterday and pop the wifi breaks down. the earlier trick of gmaps does not seem to work. I think one of the google apps update is breaking this.
After rebooting also, the device seems to remember the wifi state and tries to read the previous history and restore for the startup. And that is killing.
Any idea how to debug this or to wipe the wifi logs or to manually start the wifi/bluetooth radio.. ya athe bluetooth is also stuck.
Thanks guys in advance
Where is the fix?

Hi Can you please send a link for the solution? i am still stuck with "wifi turning on" screen and cant seem to bypass it. No matter what Stock image i flash through Wug Toolkit.
i have got the same wifi errorrigictsi vanished
initially i had loaded my explorer with fly rom and everything waas working except the internal memory. i'm not even able to download at least an app and then i tried bulletsense rom for increasing the internal memory of my explorer. it's successful, and the memory increased. From there onwards, the problem started. the wifi first said error... but after reboot, it's all the time saying "turning on"..
by typing "ifconfing twlan0" it said no devices found... so i thought it might be some driver error. coueld any one port some other drivers to the below rom so that i can have both internal memory and wifi...
link to bulletsense rom ///d-h.st/xFr//// ( add https before /xxxx/)
here is a screenshot of it...///bit.ly/MMSeam///
any one please help me on this and give me a chance to raise your thanks meter...
sorry that i'm newbie and not allowed to post links.
Hey guys.. I faced similar issue in my AMOI 820 based Indian local device Micromax (rooted + custom kernal)
I fixed this stuck wifi problem by uninstalling Google apps in system by removing them using Titanium back up + and again installing them from playstore if needed.. Hangouts(in my case) if it's a system app after getting updated is the culprit .. Try removing it and reboot and test it yourself..
guess it working now!!
I was going crazy about this stuck wifi issue!!
I tried everything!! I found on the advance panel on the wifi
That the MAC address and the IP address is unavailble.
After many tries i think i fixed it!! Using:
Busybox and MacMan
MacMan changed my MAC address and now the wifi is no longer stuck!!!! Hope it will help you too. Peace

wifi turning on problem

Hi XDA community. I am going to describe my problem, and see who else has the same issue/what remedies are possible.
I have been using CM10.1 Stable for a long time with no problems whatsoever.
Lately, i moved to CM10.2, when the problems started. My phone cant connect to my home network, but is ok with connecting to my gf's phone via wifi hotspot. I said wth i will do stock install 4.4. Then CM11 couldnt connect either.
Back to CM10.2, back to .84 radio (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087227&highlight=radio), wipe data/cache/dalvik, phone unable to connect to WiFi network at home.
Has anyone experienced this behaviour have any recommendation as to what to look for?
I dont mind flashing stock 4.4 again, but i really got used to CM. I have to mention that another ROM based on CM10.2 works fine with wifi.
Any help for a fellow XDA'er?
Cheers!
Hello, I have unlocked my phone and flash stock rom nougat 7.1 with magisk, twrp and xposed. Three day after this process I try to install this two mods:
I - https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-fingerprint-mi-5-mi-note-2-t3660179
II - https://forum.xda-developers.com/x-compact/themes/sound-boost-nougat-7-0-t3684917
And My phone start to drop all wifi conections and bluetooth stops working. So I tried to restore 3 backups that I made first of wifi problem beggins, and didnt make diference. So I flash a new stock rom, with other xperia firmware from Xperifirm, and nothing changed. My wifi conection and bluetooth still sucks.
Here's my questions: is possible that this change break up my network board, is this a hardware problem? Can anyone know if there is a way to know if is a software or hardware problem??
Can anyone copy and post here the wifi (data/misc/dhcp) and bluetooth (data/misc/bluetooth) files to see if i can fix it?
In worst situation I will restore drm keys, lock bootloader and go to a Sony Store, thank you guys for any help, I was really enjoying this phone =X

I've noticed this affecting my phone since the update to the 34.3.a.0.252.
Apps wont load content on wifi, auto update of google apps wont work over wifi, etc. (some have even been sitting waiting on auto updates for over a month...)
As soon as I turn wifi off from the tray, apps update, content updates, picture and videos instantly start to upload
i have not installed either of the two packages you list, or magisk, so I don't think they are related to the issue.
Its not an issue with my router set up as it happens on the main router, a repeater, shared connections, hotspots or public wifi. Its down to the phone and most recent update.

It's weird becase a tried 34.1.a... and didnt make out. Idk if some how I made some hardware crash, or drop wifi is just a bug from my rooted phone. Today I tried to install marshmallow stock rom, and stock + twrp and both with wifi issues, in weekend I ll try to restore drm-keys with locked bootloader.
I saw what heppen with explorer es.app, bluetooth and wifi files are missing, and even with a new flash rom or deleting folder they dont fix up files. The strangger part is that in the beggin everything was right, maybe I break up wifi hardware. My last chance will be install Paranoid Android, and if everything is all right, I will copy file for try to force software fix it.
Did you made anything to fix it?

I've just been living with it, though I may downgrade back to the October Rom version if i still have it while i wait for appropriate O versions, kernels with support for turning off encryption etc..
Just to close this post, and help others members I would like to notice that I solved my problem. Actually, it was just a coincidence. While the installation the required processing burned out the network card of the phone. This fact there is no connection with the installed mods or ROMs, nor either with any of the information or hypotheses I gave earlier. The problem occurred because the x compact's battery its attach with SoC, and therefore it is very sensitive to heat, fortunately my cell phone is warranty and I will get a new one. So, take care !
