Hey,
Sorry if this wrong spot to ask or anything, just let me know. Anyways have Note 4 Canadian. First time trying to root and followed guide @ http://galaxynote4root.com/galaxy-note-4-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-4-using-cwmtwrp-method/ . Seemed to go fine, got to end rebooted, knox disabled on 2nd try etc... Seemed standard. But then it seemed that though I was connected to my wifi network nothing was working as far as internet. Couldn't use play store or browse. Have tried rebooting, tried wiping, factory reset, flashing to different image (tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...tecan-canadian-note-4-stock-root-rom-t2924941 as well) and nothing seems to be working. I've disabled/renabled wifi as well and all that. Connect fine, seems like there's a connection but just nothing works with it. If I disable wireless then my network data seems to work fine. Appreciate any help!
Solved it. Feel bad for asking now.
Anyways my solution was I need to change SSID on wifi network and fully reboot wifi while also forgetting connection on device. After that it seems to work.

Today I went to my university after a long time and tried to get access to the university network (eduroam) with an app called Wifi Helper (you have probably already heard about it). After a few tries my wifi suddenly stopped working and now goes off everytime I try to search for networks. Even now at home when I try to connect to my home network it doesn't work and my phone doesnt find neither my network or the networks from the neighbors. Also all the networks saved in my phone disappeared and I can't add any new network configuration.
To summarize:
-if I turn the wifi on the phone makes a scan for wifi-networks but doesn't find any
-the wifi goes off after 15-20 seconds
-I can't add new networks
I made a search in the forum but didn't find anything similar. I'm not 100% sure wifi helper caused this but I would say I'm 99,99% sure.
Until now I've tried uninstalling wifi helper, rebooting the phone, taking out the battery but nothing seems to help....so I would recommend not to use this app (if it's allowed to make such a recommendation).
I wish this has a solution and the wireless can work again. Hopefully someone can help me here or give me a couple of ideas (since this doesn't seem to be a common issue)
Edit: can someone tell me what files you have in /data/misc/wifi ? I checked in my phone with root explorer and I only found reg_code and wpa_supplicant.conf ...maybe wifi helper deleted something there.
Try a factory restet, its a bit of a pain but it should fix it
You mean to flash to the original firmware? X_X
I hope that's not the only way...
Maybe there's something missing in my wifi folder that I could compare with other phones.
I think wifi helper deleted almost everything in my wpa_supplicant.conf
This is all I got in there:
ctrl_interface=tiwlan0
update_config=1
can someone check if thats ok?
ctrl_interface=DIR=/data/system/wpa_supplicant GROUP=system
update_config=1
network={
Network info goes here
}

wifi helper screw-up your wpa_supplicant.conf, it happened to me 2.
Update the "ctrl_interface=DIR=/data/system/wpa_supplicant GROUP=system" like Bourbon Brain mentioned and your wifi will work normal again (hope you know how to do that).
Thanks for your help
I had to backup all my data to do the factory reset (I had totally forgotten about it ) and it took me quite a lot of time to set everything back to normal but it worked. After that the only difference I could find was in wpa_supplicant.conf so I guess if I had changed it to what Bourbon Brain and gpmg762 said it would have worked too (even much easier). Unfortunately I didn't wait till today
Glad to help regardless

hello all,
The last week I was using my wifi without problems in any wifi, I left the wifi on and after a while my phone shutdowned (lost charge). After this, my phone isn't connecting to any wifi (even those that it was able). I did a factory reset and he doesn't detect the networks.
I though I had the same issue with my x10 but editting the file didn't take effect on my phone. Tryed to delete the wpa_supplicant config file, edit it, downloaded various wifi fixers, and nothing seems to work. Could you help me?
Thank you

save your apps(only apps and config of the apps no system data) with titanium backup, store the titanium backup folder on your pc
make a hard reset and flash the newest firmeware, after that copy tb folder back on your phone and restore the apps.
have fun
Just a guess, check this if problem is: '' wifi stuck on obtaining IP address from".
for me, problem was on my home router and work router was ok, the thing which worked and still working for me(I found it somewhere here only), is go to AllShare app on your device and then it will ask you to connect wifi and there you go it will connect wifi right away.
I use this trick every now and then, funny thing is problem does not occur if my home router is continually running, if I turn off router before leaving for office and in the phone stuck again and AllShare trick works all the time.
try it, may it works for you too.
Great tips, I will try this later and let you know is this works...
Thanks. Awesome tip. Have been fighting with this problem so long. Works like a charm
fine, that the tipp help you
mfg dennis
Awesome, now everything works as a charm. Thanks a lot!!!
I agree. Great tip. Used it for a while until I flashed 2.2.1 firmware. Now all my wifi problems have disappeared.

wifi problem fixed in 2.2.1
Seems, problem has been fixed in 2.2.1 release, for those who is yet to get 2.2.1 (not talking about flashers) can go for 'AllShare' solution.
hey guys im having a wifi problem as well but it seems its kind of different from the rest of you...
my wifi is connecting fine to my router... it runs fine for the first say maybe 5 mins... and then it just stops working even tho it still connected to the router... it just says no data connection... this was happening on my 2.2 froyo then i flashed it with darkys rom 9.2 and im still having the same problem... i need to reboot my phone then only the internet works again for 5 mins then stops again unless i reboot.... its verrryyy irritating i tell you...
tried the allshare but that didnt really make a diff cuz the router is connecting... im just notgetting any internet after a few mins....
any advice would be great..
unable to scan wifi networks; auto turn off of wifi
my problem is similar. i am able to turn on wifi but it won't scan networks ("unable to scan networks"). it then turn off the wifi after a few seconds by itself.
any help?
i've done several reboots and the allshare solution, the prob persists. will do an upgrade to gingerbread and will see if it solves the problem.
I've upgraded to gingerbread and wifi issues have been solved sunbed then.

My device was working perfectly fine today until suddenly it stopped being able to find any Wifi networks of any kind. It doesn't say there's any issue, it still scans, but it doesn't find anything at all. I'm searching on my uni campus, so I know that in any one place there's about 12 connections, and my phone has no issue finding them.
I've done a factory restore, but it didn't seem to help in any way. Is there anything anyone can suggest?
Edit:
Bluetooth still works, but I'm not sure if they're on the same chip in the 7.7
I just had similar issue with my home wifi,
Other devices works fine, and there's no problem connecting to other wifis..
I tried deleting the dhcp list via root explorer, tried wifi fix, rebooting couple of times but none worked..
Then i tried to reboot the router and surprisingly it works!
It's probably because the router is giving a static address that's different with the previously recorded in your tab.. But i'm not sure..
So if your tab still works in other wifis then chances are the router needs to be restarted..
No WiFi networks show up at -all-. I've got a completely blank list, even though there's plenty of connections available.
Hi everyone,
Since Friday my phone just stopped connecting to Wi-Fi networks. When it tries to connect it says "Network access denied". Mobile data and everything else work fine. I can technically connect if I literally put the phone on top of my router but even then it is unusable. Take two steps away from it and the connection drops. I spent the whole weekend and yesterday looking for a solution. I tried almost everything including resetting the phone, updating the phone from the current version to the B524 beta and back (rollback wiped my phone but I don't mind), the airplane mode trick and countless router rebootings. I really hope it's not a hardware issue, I've only had the phone for a couple of months... To make matters worse I ran out of data allowance and have to wait until next month for it to come back.
So yeah, kind of an annoying situation. Anyone know what is happening?
Thanks.
Have you already tried to connect to other wifi network, problem could also be in your router ...

I did, yes. I've tried to connect to mine, my brother's and some unsecured one that was near me.
if you are rooted then i suggest full wipe in twrp , download new rom and see if it works again , if not it must be the phone who has hardware problem.... and repair shop is needed
I have the same problem, my P8 Lite Wi-Fi just stopped working, tried several different Routers that used to work but just get Network Access Denied. Think this must be a software problem.
Hey !!! anyone get this solution will please help me i am facing same problem "Network access denied"
tried also Install New Rom but nothing will happen ... ???
Hey.
Im having same problem...visually everything works (not greyd out), but when scanning, scans for a second and then thats it. Tried wifi direct, doesnt work.
Also bluetooth doesnt work (same as wifi...cant find nothing).
Tried all those "tricks" what i could find on google, tried all rom builds, rooted-unrooted...nothing works so far.
Hoping someone can help me
My S7 Edge WiFI connection is playing up. My phone is fine on data network but only when connected on WiFi (Have tried other networks too) it has some serious problems like,
- Whatsapp notifications not received unless I switch to data connection or open the app
- Trouble loading internet applications, they just hang randomly but if I switch to data then they load
I first noticed this when I switched over to SuperManROM, however I have since reflashed the previous ROM I was using and still have the same issues. I've tried custom kernels and stock kernels and no difference.
Is it simply a faulty WiFI chip in the S7 Edge or coudl it be something software related? An important point to mention is that for the SuperManROM I had to update the bootloader and Modem, but I did downgrade them again to see if there was any change
Please help
Having the same issues. Tried multiple Wifi networks, same issue. Shows I'm connected to it, but no throughput. Tested the same networks on my laptop with no issues.
I'm using SuperSU.
This happens to me too, but only when I enable power saving mode, could that be your issue?

Well I thought it fixed it, but it doesn't look like it did. Rebooting the phone to see if that helps
Update: even after a reboot no luck.
On cell data no issues. As soon as I connect to Wifi, I lose it.
Update 2: Had a system update available. Tried to install it, and after the phone rebooted it told me the update failed, but the Wifi works okay for the moment. Honestly no clue.
You guys got any VPN profiles installed or anything?
Settings - More Connection Settings -> VPN
