I'm running stock 4.4.2 with Xposed. So the wifi connects to known networks or if ssid is manually entered but won't scan for networks/show scanned networks. I used Titanium Backup to remove a lot of bloat, was wondering if I could've removed something that could've triggered this issue?

Today while at McDonald's I was having a steak bagel and browsing the forums. I noticed that my phone was connecting to the free unsecured WiFi provided in the lobby. I would disable the WiFi and moments later it was back on and attempting to reconnect to the WiFi.
I checked my settings to make sure that I hadn't enabled that option for my WiFi settings and it was disabled. I also checked the AT&T Smart Wi-Fi app and it was also disabled there. After freezing the app with Titanium the problem with it forcing itself onto WiFi was resolved.
Did I miss something, or is this a known issue? If you had this same problem what did you do to resolve it?
Hey guys,
I just recently rooted my s4 and I have been experiencing issues with my wifi. As a first time rooter, I was curious if there are any ideas you guys have to help? Thanks
Rooting won't have any impact on your WiFi or any other phone performance. Have you made any other changes since rooting and what Wi-Fi problems are you having?
I haven't really done anything at all after rooting it. My internet connections just says, "Network disabled because Internet connection is slow". Although it is slow, it has always connected before rooting. Now, I can't even send picture texts or be in group text messages. I've downloaded a few apps, but none that affects wifi.
Do you have this problem on all Wi-Fi or just one? I'd try resetting the router
I have about 5 wifi routers in my house and it doesn't work for any of them. I haven't tried it on a public wifi, but I'd assume it wouldn't work there either. I'm currently posting this from my house, so I know the wifi is working.
My download speed is 9 mbps and upload is 2.5 mbps so I know that the home wifi is not the issues, it has to be the phone. Is there something I could have forgotten to do that has caused this? or anything else?

Same problem here. Already posted about it in another thread. Have updated to 4.3 and eversince the phone won't connect to a wifi network unless it's placed right next to the router. Any other device connects smoothly. Same info when i check the wifi scan "Network disabled because Internet connection is slow". The problem stands for any router, not just mine.
I have already flashed a stock modem.bin, made no difference.
Had any better luck?
Hey everyone. I just bought a used Sprint LG G2 and like the phone overall. I am having a few issues, the most annoying one it seems is that when my phone is on my home wifi it is always downloading/uploading. The arrows are active 99% of the time and the only way I can stop it from transmitting data is to disable wifi and it won't do it over the cellular data network. I have turned off automatic syncing and everything I could think of that would transmit data over wifi on my phone. I tried restoring the firmware back to shipping firmware using flashtools and taking all the OTA updates again, I have tried simply factory resetting it as well and then not downloading any apps or logging into anything and it still seems to persist. This is only on my home internet and I have tried 2 different routers now. I go to a large university with a campus wide wifi network and it doesn't do this when I'm on my school wifi. It also doesn't happen when on a friend of mines home wifi network with a newer Linksys router. I cannot figure out why my home wifi data connection is constantly active. I haven't had this issue with any other phone so it is something to do with the interaction of my phone with network or something.
Wow no one has this issue? That must explain why there isn't a ton of results when I google it.
If you download an app called GSAM Battery Monitor, you should be able to see which app is hogging the wifi.
I have gsam and wasn't aware of this feature. I was using another app that said the system was constantly downloading and uploading about 5kb of data at all times. It has to be something network side since its only on my home wifi but I'm not good with wireless networking if it's not a cell network so I don't even know where to start. I tried restoring both of my routers to stock and it didn't fix it.

After a few hours of use, my wifi will be connected but doesn't transfer data. If I disconnect or shut down wifi and try to reconnect, it won't work. My data plan then takes over. When I reboot the device, it works again. There seems to be a stability problem with my wifi. I'm running stock 5.1.1 rooted. Is there a way to fix this or is it a wear and tear issue that cannot be fixed? Is there a rom or something else that would improve the wifi performance? I have my wifi set only to 2.4GHz band.
Do you have a dual-band router that is broadcasting a 2.4GHz and 5GHz AP with a similar SSID name but different password?
It's a really specific scenario, but for whatever reason, on the stock Lollipop ROM with those conditions, it'll automatically add the other AP and try connecting to it and fail due to the password mismatch, and then kick you to cellular data. Marshmallow doesn't do this.
No, just one signal. I think my phone is the problem because it happens under other wifi routers.
I recently put rooted Lollipop PB1 on my SM-G900V (verizon), put AFWall+ on it, and thought all was good. However, when I restart my phone I can use wifi and VPN fine, but mobile hotspot tries and fails, even if I manually disconnect VPN first. I restart again and mobile hotspot works fine, but if I disconnect then VPN using native android interface is always "unsuccessful." I've tried OpenVPN client and PIA client instead of the native one but to no avail (I think the PIA one made it so my wifi couldn't come back on until a restart). Yes, VPN, OpenVPN and PIA are enabled in AFwall+ (wifi, mobile, vpn boxes).
It seems like restart is a toggle to use vpn, restart again to use hotspot, but not both. something wacky seems to be going on with the radios.
I suppose if I had to choose I can just restart and just use mobile hotspot and forgot about vpn, but I am just wondering if there's something obvious I've overlooked since it'd be great to be able to use both.
Thanks for reading.
It seems my network stack is messed up. With AFwall uninstalled, I'm getting DNS errors connected to wifi and/or mobile. I've unfrozen all system apps except Peel Remote, and nothing system-related is Greenified.
Changed DNS server from this tip here and rebooted. Wifi and data work now.
How could DNS have gotten corrupted? Should I just do a factory reset?
Testing to see if this fixed original problem.
Ok, the above DNS change did fix the original problem.
I restored AFwall+ from Titanium backup (app + data).
Ran wifi with VPN. Check.
Turned off VPN and ran hotspot. It tried, tried, and worked third time.
Turned hotspot off, enabled wifi, and ran VPN. "Unsuccessful."
Uninstalled AFwall+.
Wifi on, ran VPN. Fail.
Turned off wifi and ran hotspot with mobile. VPN works.
Turned off hotspot, turned off mobile, turned on wifi. VPN fails.
Restarted.
Wifi on, VPN on. "Unsuccessful" once ....then connected.
Wifi off, data on, hotspot on. Success.
Wifi on, data off, VPN? "Unsuccessful"
Try again manually. Success.
So it seems that I did something in AFwall+ that really messed up my network stack.
Is there an easy reset or fix to get things more stable again?
