I have always had wireless problems on the Nook Color, and this is one of the most frustrating of all.
Scanning for networks (in settings) is not finding any networks (just keeps scanning forever), BUT I am getting notifications about wireless networks becoming available, and the networks are showing up just fine on apps such as Wifi Analyzer.
I have deleted all of the saved networks (someone told me that was supposed to help, but it didn't). I assume i just need to reset something somewhere, but I have no idea what). I guess there is always the big reset (complete reinstall), but I would rather avoid that if possible.
Any ideas?

I just got my Diamond2 - it is my first personal Windows Mobile phone, and so far I am generally pleased with it.
I have been developing applications for Windows Mobile and WinCE devices for years as part of my work, and has thus used such devices extensively, so i don't consider myself a noob.
I have a serious problem though. At home I have a hidden Wifi network (no SSID broadcast). I can configure this network just fine, and the Diamond2 connects to it and all is well. However, when the phone loses connection to the network, it doesn't reconnect and it loses my network profile settings totally, or at least so it seems. That means I have to enter my very long WPA key again (or have it in plain text on the device so I can copy/paste it, but I would rather avoid that).
Anyone else have this problem and hopefully a solution? It is really the only thing annoying me right now with this device.
Not sure to be honest but why not just have it on broadcast SSID if you already have WPA security on it? I know it's not a fix to what you want but the fact it's hidden is probably the whole reason it won't reconnect.
That is the solution I have deferred to right now, and it seems to be working.
I just think it ought to work with hidden networks as well, and indeed it does, it just "forgets" the settings when disconnected and doesn't reconnect.
Thats strange. I have mine hidden as well but it works just fine.
It also works 2 other places which I have tried that runs no SSID broadcast. The keys used are WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK.
Have you tried Hard Resetting your device? I know its a pain, but mine also had some bugs out of the box which got fixed after a Hard Reset..
I have the same problem now.
I have a hidden wireless network and can configure it just fine in the topaz.
It works quite well and fast (54Mbit WPA2, PSK, AES) and connects without problems most of the time.
But then sometimes it tries to connect to my network (I can see this in the wifi overview) without success.
My wireless setting then disappears completely from the topaz.
Then I have to recreate the complete wifi setting from scratch again.
This setting can be used at once just fine, but will fail and disappear again after a while (number of days? number of reconnects?)
Does anyone know, where the wifi settings are stored?
Couldn't find it in the registry with searching for the wifi SSID.
Maybe a backup could be made and restored if the setting is gone again.
It sounds like a bug for me, because you can explicitly configure a hidden network (via checkbox) and the setting should not be removed in case of any connection problem to that network.
I have a Nexus 4. I'm currently on 4.3. My phone auto-connects to every single open wifi network I walk past. Starbucks, McDonalds, Nordstroms, etc... every single one. I've tried both setting and not setting the "Notify me of open networks" option in the Wifi settings. No difference. Well there is, one setting just causes it to silently connect. I have NOT connected to these networks before. At the end of the day I have like 15 AP's queued up in my list that I have to delete.
This might be the most pants-on-head retarded design I have ever seen in a phone. I have only a few productivity apps on my phones. None of them meddle with wifi settings as far as I can tell. So, can anyone help me? Please don't offer me the advice of turning wifi off. I understand that is the kill-all for this, but it's akin to suggesting that longer battery life can be had by turning the phone off between charges. There has to be some option I am missing that is a never-connect-to-open option. I bounce between client offices all day and I need wifi to work smoothly.
Yup, same here. I've disabled the setting to notify me when an open notification is available, and it just connects to all and sundry, often causing me to lose connection with a server. Anybody aware of a fix for this? Do I need to root my Nexus 4 first?
WiFi 'scan/connects' with other networks.

Set your WiFi to be active on your network only, uncheck open networks, and select manage networks to a single AP, yours.
I manage a single connection on my Droid X, and 'forget' all other networks, and do not store any network data from these either.
This is the only way I am certain my phone will not look for other networks, but then again, you can turn off 'Update over WiFi only' as well.
Deselect anything that will cause the phone to look for a WiFi AP, but also remember that once done, your apps such as Email and FB may still attempt to update via the phone's network and not WiFi.
This started Feb 3rd or 4th. The phone will connect to the wifi network, with a good signal. It will then re-scan every 5 seconds or so. This is causing all sorts of data transfer issues from downloads freezing to apps losing connectivity while running.
I am running on Verizon.

I am now running Android 5.0 but had NOT updated to 5.0 when this problem started.
I scoured google a bit and found an ATT forum that is essentially reporting what I am.
forums.att.com/t5/Samsung-Discussion-Support/Samsung-Galaxy-S5-Wi-Fi-Connectivity-Problems-After-4-4-4-Update/td-p/4190704
All other devices on the network are operating without issue - phones and computers - as was mine until now.
I have power cycled everything.
I have checked the routers settings.
The phone has been power cycled several times.
The phone has had every wifi setting that would be causing this scanning, that I know, disabled.
The following are off in Wifi > Advanced:
Wifi notifications
Passpoint
Always allow scanning
Smart network switch
I then, after the above, updated to Android 5.0. The issue still persists. Help me please.
My device does this, too. Cant say I have ever really noticed, I dont know if it has always done this or not.
I am not experiencing any issues like you describe.
Now that I think about it, I think it will always scan at a set interval when you enter the Wifi settings. It assumes you are looking for a network to connect to. I doubt its scanning when you are not in that setting.
I had this problem the other day. I went to wifi settings and had it forget the network and then rebooted and reconnected to my wifi network and it seems to have resolved the issue. others have just switched airplane mode on and off and this fixed it. good luck
Quick question/help. My phone wifi can not seem to be able to detect any new wifi network at all. But my already known networks from when I set up this phone in the beginning still work as long as I m at home. So I came to the conclusion that I have turned some kind of process off that have caused this problem. I use TiBu, Amplify Battery extender.
When I use other Wi-Fi apps, Wifi Fixer. I'm able to see other networks that are normally there.
So I m just wondering what is the process that takes care of this wifi scan, or this thing that allows the phone to show what it detected.
I have an SGH-I337 that is running Cyanogenmod 11-20151112-SNAPSHOT-M12-jflte with baseband I337UCUAMDB, and I am experiencing some odd WiFi behavior.
The WiFi will be connected, showing in both the notification bar and the WiFi settings, the notification bar with show traffic (blinking up and down arrows), and yet apps won't be able to access the network. I can restart the WiFi via settings and this will usually restore app connectivity, though not permanently; eventually apps will lose connectivity again. Rinse; repeat.
At times I'll get annoyed at having the WiFi problems and turn WiFi off and use LTE. However, the WiFi eventually turns itself back on, often times exhibiting the connectivity issue that drove me to switch to LTE.
Another issue is that the WiFi will forget the settings for a given network. The WiFi app will simply show the network, not indicating that settings are saved, and I'll have to enter them again.
I haven't been able to establish a pattern to these issues, and it's driving me mad! Has anyone seen anything like this? Have any suggestions, besides taking a handgun to the phone?
