Basically, my nexus 4 is running Paranoid Android Beta 4.6 and there is this weird issue wherein the wifi is functioning, like it connects to my wifi and i can use it for most apps but the wifi icon stays brown instead of turning white like it usually does, and because of this the play store wont open, it opens i mean, but it doesnt connect. is their any one else with this issue? is there a way to fix it? This started happening recently i flashed my rom around 10 days ago.
Try reflashing the ROM, if that doesn't work then flash the latest radios drivers along with it. Probably the ROM is having trouble communicating with the WiFi driver. Also check your external modem internet speed, if the phone doesn't detect a fast enough connection the indicator won't turn white

Hey guys, the newest 3.2 update (not the first one but the second one that came out) messed up my Wifi and now I can't connect to it. I've turned off/one my roouter+modem, wifi on tablet, tablet itself, and re-added the network multiple times and nothing seems to work. What happens is that I add the network and it would try to connect and authenticate but then it just retries connecting again and then all the available wifi networks are gone. It's a mess. And it happened a few times where it would finally connect but then no webpage would open after a few minutes and the wifi bars on the bottom right turn from blue to grey. Wtf. How the hell can Samsumg mess up something like that? And no it's not my wifi since it works perfectly fine with alllll of my other devices.
I just had exactly the same problem. 3.2 was working fine for a couple of days for me but now has difficulty connecting and when it does connect doesn't seem to be able to reach the internet. No issues with other devices. Time for a custom ROM?
Had also issues with wifi and the latest stock 3.2. It went away with Task 6.1 and probably the other custom rom also.
And now it is all working again.
Strange but worrying.......
On the contrary the wifi is better now with me. I used to have wifi issues after the TW update. The first days with stock Android I dont remember a single day dropping my wifi connection, but after TW update I sometimes picked my Tab to see "no internet connection". After 3.2 update it is just always on. I am quite happy with this update. If I ever see a drop in connection it is %100 router related which sometimes confuses and tries to assign the same the IP address to 2 different devices.
I know that there are problems with Exchange and such, but everything was working fine on my phone up until about 2 weeks ago. I have been running CM7 for quite some time and always left wifi on to connect at work and home. Never had any issues connecting to my Exchange account. Then I started to notice some connection issues with e-mails not coming in, etc. It was very random it seemed, sometimes on wifi, sometimes on 3G. So this weekend I decided to try installing CM7.2 and CM9 and maybe it would resolve my issues. Now I can get my phone to connect over 3G, but if I turn on wifi it will not connect, even after I turn wifi back off, until I reboot the phone. Not sure how to fix this problem, I enjoy using wifi quite a bit and it obviously keeps my data usage lower. Any ideas on how I can fix this? Currently running the latest CM9 beta.
Did you flash any kernel? Anyways try updating now the kernels are fixed today.

I am having problems with my Nexus 4 not automatically connecting to Wi-Fi. This is particularly annoying as I only live a few minutes from Uni so I spend the day cycling between my home network, uni network and 3G and set tasker to do things based on where I am. However, I look at my phone it tells me I have plenty of wifi signal yet it hasn't connected. This means I either have to switch the wi-fi off and on (which seems to take longer than it should to switch back on) or reboot the phone. After this it will connect fine. Is this a software issue? Or something that is just wrong with my phone?
Cheers
I too have wifi connection problems with my Nexus 4. I can get it to connect, but it won't reconnect. Not only does it not reconnect, it doesn't even detect that the network it was just configured to connect to is sitting right in front of it.
I've tried using Wifi Analyser, and it will show all the wifi signals in my area including those of my neighbours across the street, but it simply doesn't even show my wifi signal. Oddly in Settings, sometimes my wifi signal is not listed at all (reflecting Wifi Analyser's view), and sometimes it is listed but shown as 'Not in range'. It is very frustrating, and the only reason I have not yet RMA back to Google is I have a slight hope that the next update (4.2.2) will fix it.
Needless to say, I have a number of other devices at home (Lenovo and HP laptops, iOS tablets and phone, Windows RT tablet, Windows Phone, and Nexus 7) all of which connect to my home network OK. It is clearly a bug in the Nexus 4.
I had the same problem as you guys, i flashed Franco Kernal and it works a treat now.
Not forgetting the extra battery life the kernel provides.
I suggest trying it out.
I am having issues with my Nexus 10, and I think it started with the 4.3 updated, but I can't be 100% sure.
I have a Verizon Wireless JetPack 890L broadband access point, and my Nexus 10 gives me no end of hell with.
It connects, but afterwards, I see the bars moving up and down like crazy, and it constantly drops connections and reconnects. The reason why I say I am not sure how long the problem has been going on is because I originally had my jetpack and someone else's configured in my wireless settings, so when I disconnected from mine, it would reconnect to his, so I never noticed. When I cleared the wifi settings and only had my AP settings, that's when the problem was noticed.
I tried setting it to Channel 11, and that seemed to work fine for 2 hours and then the problem surfaced again with constant drops and reconnects.
When I am at home, the device works on my wireless no problem.
I'm running a stock Nexus 10, that's rooted.
Anyone seeing any wifi connectivity issues with their Nexus 10?
Rollback to 4.2.2 fixed the problem. Obviously 4.3 and this device do not get along.
I have a problem with my LG G2 D800 where it will not connect to wifi unless the screen is on.
Example: I arrive at home with phone, get on PC, log onto my router and monitor wireless clients. Phone screen still off. No phone on wifi. An hour later there is still no phone on wifi. I then turn on phone screen, I can see no wifi icon in top bar. After a second, wifi icon shows and connects and router shows the client.
I also have this same issue at work. As I walk around the building that is covered by different wireless APs, the phone will disconnect, then never reconnect to wifi until I turn the screen on.
During this time I am getting email notifications so it would still be using mobile data.
Tested with CM12.1 several different nightlies. Also with SlimSaber several versions and all perform the same.
I can very reliably cause this by connecting my phone to wifi, start ping to phone ip, then rebooting router. With these roms it will never connect to wifi without turning screen on. With CloudyG2 3.3 rom it will reconnect after a minute of router coming back up. Also my old Atrix HD and Asus TF201 connect quickly also.
I have taken it back to stock with Supersport's method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663369. I then used Ioroot and AutoRec
I then tested with a full wipe of everything except internal storage and clean install of these roms. Kept all default settings and did NOT sign into Google, so no apps were restored/downloaded. Nothing running except what comes with the ROM and still have this issue.
I captured a logcat and below is the timeline.
Phone connected to wifi then screen turned off. Start ping
6:11 pm rebooted router - pings drop
6:12 pm router back online and other wireless devices connected
6:18 pm still no response from phone
6:23 pm turn screen on - see wifi connect - ping starts responding

may be I could be wrong... but did you disable the "keep wi-fi on when screen is off" option in advance wi-fi settings ?
It is set to always stay enabled which is the default on all roms I have tested. The WIFI has no problems staying connected with the screen off, as long as I stay in range it will stay connected.
It is only when not connected and the screen off, it will never connect until screen is turned on. Like when I come home it will not connect to wifi until the screen is turned on. Even several hours after I got home.
Did you try any stock lollipop roms?

Pure stock works as expected as does CloudyG2 3.3, which I believe is based on stock.
May be try dirty deeds rom?

Forgot to add I also tried Blisspop and ResurrectionRemix and both have the same problem. All that I have problems with appear to be AOSP based so I would guess dirty deeds would also have the problem but the stripped stock LP would not.
I just don't know where to go from here to fix it. Like I said, I have taken it back to stock and went through entire process to get CM12.1 but have same issue.
Have you tried rebooting the wireless access point (i.e. Router/Modem)?
Look for interference near by on the same wireless channel, grab WiFi Analyzer from the play store and see if there's a stronger signal essentially jamming the wireless frequency.
I had a laptop that wouldn't stay connected to it's access point because a wireless printer was putting out a stronger signal on the same channel, the printer jammed the frequency causing the computer to disconnect.
If it's happening across multiple roms, then it seems like there are only two things in common; 1. the phone 2. the Router/Modem.

Rebooted router many times in testing.
I have to believe it is the phone/rom because it has the same issue at home, work, friends houses when running a rom like CM12.1. All with different router/AP combinations. I also have several other wireless devices at home that don't have issues. Specifically my Atrix HD and TF201 work fine on my home router.
I also don't believe it is a hardware issue with the phone because stock and stock based roms work as expected.
In asking around about these different roms, I seem to be the only one with this issue, but I don't know what I could be doing wrong.
I did find this in Nexus forum so it looks like it may be a global Google issue. http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/wifi-issue-t3059452
