[Q] Nexus 4 won't connect to internet through wifi - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yesterday I did a factory reset on my Nexus 4(4.4.2) and afterwards when I turned it on and went into the playstore it worked for a min or two and afterwards i couldnt connect to the internet at all. Playstore said no connection and chrome says cannot connect to proxy server. I tried resetting both the phone and my router, didnt help. Internet works through data though.
Please help.
TLDR: Factory reset. Wifi connects but doesnt work. Tried phone and router reset. Data works though.

Could you please tell me how to do this?

You could try flashing the CM11 Gapps. Pretty much all 4.4 Gapps will be okay.

No wi-fi, cant even skip setup

Just rooted and had problems with busybox. I did a factory reset. Now when setting up the tablet, I need to select wi-fi (can't skip this) I am stuck on obtaining ip address! I tried using a mobile hotspot with my phones mobile data but it doesnt work either.

edit: problem fixed, softbrick, redid everything, working now!

The real sin is that you can't even view the devices MAC address when doing a stock setup... Nor is it on the box!

Nexus 4 internet is messed.

At first, my Nexus 4 wouldn't download or update any apps. I tried a few online solutions to no avail.At this point my chrome,gmail,whatsapp, and everything else worked fine. I figured I'd just do a factory reset as I didn't have much data saved on the phone in the first place. Factory reset didn't help so I tried a hard reset. Now, I can link a google account to the nexus 4 and my gmail works fine. The bars and wifi up top are blue but NOTHING WORKS. My chrome doesn't load anything. I can browse through play store but I can't see any pictures or download/update any apps. I'm typing this message off of my laptop that is connected to the same wifi.
Help!

Is this on WiFi only? Does this problem happen in 3g? If it only happens in wifi, and you don't have a custom recovery, wait for the 4.3 update as it fixes A LOT of WiFi issues. If you have custom recovery, try flashing the WiFi fix in the Android Development section or flash a kernel with Prima Drivers (Experimental WiFi Drivers).

[SOLVED] WiFi Mobile Hotspot error after KITKAT update, then WiFi Can't be enabled

After updating my google play unlocked Nexus 4 to Kit Kat 4.4, I've been constantly having problems with my WiFi being stuck in off mode.
Turning on WiFi would get the toggle stuck, while it's Grey too, and it stays stuck. Solution was to turn on and off airplane mode. Then wifi works again.
I've now realized this is triggered every time I try to enable the mobile WiFi Hotspot. It shows Error next to the check box and no WiFi network is broadcasted. I tried barnacle tether and FoxFi, and neither work. Has kit Kat broken any WiFi broadcasting? Tethering works just fine for me over USB. Something is wrong with the WiFi. Has anyone else been having this problem?
Here's some screenhots.
I did a backup in CWM, then I did a factory reset, and then I restored the backup. Everything started working just fine again.
No thanks to anyone.

If you solved the problem yourself, then you should edit the first post's title with the word "Solved" so others don't have to read your posts or try to help you.

A factory reset and cache clearing was the only sure way of fixing it. Did you by any chance install the moto x dalvik libraries?

Have you tried using Googles factory restore image? Or the OTA?

Alternate way is, if you rooted, delete directory

Hi there,
I'm having the same problem with my nexus 4 when I turn on wifi hotspot.. I get the "error" message..
I don't completely understand everything in order to fix this.. Please help.

Wifi connected but no Internet

Please can someone tell me how to fix the wifi. I've tried everything under the sun and still no luck. I can use the Internet on it but not through apps or Google apps and can't use any accounts. The only thing that is working is the browser. I cleared partition cache, factory reset Re - flashed the rom, changed the date and time and still nothing, reseted the rooter, still nothing. Please can someone help me.

[Help Needed] WIfi issue with Nexus 4

Hi,
With my N4, I am able to connect to my home wifi and I can browse through Chrome, can open any website etc.
Until last week, everything was working fine with WiFi. But suddenly, it stopped connecting to Play store. But, whatsapp and other such apps were working fine with WiFi/GPRS.
I did a factory reset, didn't help. Then, sideloaded v5.1. Soon after the update, when tapped on Play store, it says "Couldn't sign in, Can't establish a reliable connection to the server". I am not able to set up any google account yet. I cant even install any app yet.
If I tap on play store or say add account in gmail: if first tries to connect something as shown in 1.png, after some times throws error shown in 2.png.
I was having LRX22C(v5.0), sideloaded LMY47O (v5.1), the problem still persists even after the update. I checked the /etc/hosts file, it has a single line: 127.0.0.1 localhost. So I think, there is no point in rooting my N4 to tweak hosts file.
Pls help.
Thank you
It work in 3G?
If yes, try another radio!
If din't work, install the factory image of 5.1 and then flash your ROM

It worked with 2g, didn't try with 3g.
Side loaded the ota update only, do u still think installing factory image will make any difference? This is the first time I flashed my N4.

Try to flash the factory with the Nexus RootToolikit.
It is for Windows/Ubuntu/Mac. (http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/)
Try it, for me if you flash with NRT you'll solve your problem.
With this flash, NRT flash the correct radio for your phone.
It work, try

why do u guys think, wifi is behaving this weird? Its working for every other thing except for google play?
Changing the radio is the only solution? It used to work well until last week.

Does it connect to the Google Account through other WiFi Access Points? (meaning the issue could be some network side issue with your LAN)
Could it perhaps be a Google side issue? The message says it could not connect, or is not provisioned. Is it possible your device is somehow blacklisted?
If everything else aside from that works on WiFi, I do not think this is a WiFi/Radio issue with your phone.

I am yet to check on other WiFi access points.
Any idea on how to ensure that my device is not blacklisted? But, if it is blacklisted, it should not have worked with my mobile connection. Another thing is, say, I logged into play store with my mobile data connection and set up a gmail account. When switched back to WiFi, I can sync my account without any problem. Suffice to say that device is not blacklisted??

I am not sure, as I am not up to date on Google's Security policies, but you might try calling them. That said, are you saying you can log into all of the Google Services if on mobile, but just not on WiFi? If that is the case, and you do not have issues otherwise on Wifi, I would guess there is an issue with your router or firewall settings on your LAN.
