Hi there.
I have the international version of Galaxy S5 (GM-900F) and yesterday I was trying to recover all saved Wi-Fi passwords on my phone. I installed couple of apps from the Google Play Store and uninstalled them all as they didn't work. Since then I cannot enable Wi-Fi. When I tap on the Wi-Fi icon nothing happens it just stays turned off. 4g is fine, but when I enable personal hotspot I get a notification that Wi-Fi will have to be turned off before the hotpot can be enabled. The thing is Wi-Fi is turned off and I still get the same notification.
My phone is rooted but I never had that problem. I flashed the firmware again as I thought the apps messed up some settings,but that didn't help. I dropped the phone couple of times, can the antenna inside break?
Is there anything else I can try before doing a factory reset?

Hi all!
I have an international version of the S3 with a weird problem.
When I have Wifi connected my phone can't sign in to Google talk and wont receive notifications. I can browse and download stuff though.
If i switch to 3G all is well and working. I have tested on different networks and I have a galaxy tab 10.1 connected to the same wifi without problems so it's no ports in the firewall that's causing it.
If I restart the phone it works for about a day then it fails again and I have to restart the phone to get G-talk over wifi.
I have tried setting the phone a static IP, switched "Keep wifi on during sleep" on and off, tried the trick with power saving in debug menu but nothing helps.
Has anyone experienced the same and can someone maybe suggest a fix?
Best regards
Erik
I have a Galaxy S5 Running Stock Android 5.0 Lollipop, sometimes I came home and found out I don't have wi-fi turned on, I went and turn on Wi-Fi, but the connection no longer works. It will work after I reboot, anyone experience this?
Have you got Smart Network Switch enabled in WiFi settings?
It causes problems for almost everyone, disable it and see if that helps
Mine is not enabled. I will try enabling it to see if it makes a difference. thanks.
I have been experiencing an issue where wifi is not auto connecting to saved networks after being on 4g data. Refreshing the Wifi screen does not bring any results until I switch the wifi off and on several times, and then the relevant networks are shown and DO auto connect. I am rooted with an unlocked bootloader, xposed. This is not new to gaining root, but happened about 10 days after. Has anyone experienced this issue and what did you do to fix it? Any help would be appreciated.
Yeah its happening to me. It doesn't connect and when I go to wifi settings, it looks like it's refreshing but no networks show up. I have to turn it off then back on and it auto connects. I'm fully stock, unrooted. I think a software update can fix that.

Got same issue with A2017G.
How can a phone be released with such defects??? Anybody at ZTE even used the phone 2 or 3 day in a row and didn't noticed that?
I'm having the same problem, I can't get onto the wifi at my work, or at home.
Help!!! After update to 7.0 my phone has trouble connecting to WiFi. It's not mynetwork because other devices connect and it happens at my workplace too. I've tried clearing the partition cache, restarting it and forgetting the WiFi. Even putting it into airplane mode for a few minutes. I'm not very techie so please keep keep answer easy to understand.
I think I fixed it. I went to my Google account and there was a way to restore my wifi settings.
My wife's G4 has been having the same issue... I cannot get it to reliably connect to any wifi network. Very occasionally it will connect but it only lasts for a few minutes before dropping again. Most of the time it just doesn't see any wifi networks available. I've tried resetting to factory, I've reset default networks under wifi settings, I even applied the new system update that came out yesterday, and still no luck. This is very aggravating. Anyone have any ideas?
I have a Samung Galaxy S4, GT-I9505, Android Version 7.1.2, using LineageOS 14.1-20180309-NIGHTLY-jfltexx. Baseband version: I9505XXSPQA1. Kernel version 3.4.112-Lineage-ge8d93e0
It has worked fine for months. But on the 1st of July, while a friend was borrowing it, it was all of a sudden unable to see any wifi networks. My friend doesn't know what he did to it as he was just trying to connect his wifi. Now I can't find ANY wifi networks. None at all! All other devices in the house can find and connect to wifi networks and to the home wifi network.
I've tried the following:
1) Restarting the phone
2) Turning on airplane mode and looking for wifi networks.
3) Restarting the router
4) Factory resetting the phone
5) Flashing the same Lineage OS version from the SD card using TWRP.
6) Removing the battery for 1 minute and putting it back in and restarting the phone.
What happens normally?
I go into wifi settings by pressing and holding down on the wifi icon in the notification tray. When I get there, there is a blue moving bar near the top which makes it seem as if it is searching for a network. I still attempt to turn on the wifi using the switch to the top right. There's a message in the middle of the screen saying "Turning Wi-Fi on …" And then it searches and searches. Eventually the "on" and the wifi switch get greyed out and are unresponsive to any touch, but there is a moving blue bar just under it that makes it seem as if it is still searching, but it sees none. If I wait long enough and the phone screen times out and I turn it back on, in wifi settings, at the top it says "off" but the blue bar under it is still moving as if it is searching. If I press the switch, the same thing happens.
If I got into "Configure Wifi" the MAC address is set to 02:00:00:00:00:00 and the IP address is "Unavailable".
Doing all this gives me the impression that it is a hardware issue, not a software one.
But I'm wondering if there are any solutions that I haven't tried, or is there agreement that it is most likely a hardware issue.
My wife took it to a local market to see if they could fix it. The guy went to the TWRP app that was installed and claimed that somehow it had been used to delete the wifi software. It didn't seem right or likely. I don't think he knew what he was talking about.
Can anyone help at all please?
get a new phone lol serranoltexx is old

Hello, If you have any FULL Backup include EFS, preload etc. Restore. If you don't have backup, you can try flash STOCK ROM using for ex. samfirm - https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
Also you can use one of thread https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/...-02-00-00-00-00-00-after-3-5-5-update.480733/
Let me know if there is any progress.
