The issue:
Wifi automatically turns off when it says "searching for networks", then turns on again and repeats the same thing over and over.
When it happened:
One day I was using Cloudy G2 3.3 when the wifi turned off. After that it didn't turn on properly and this problem kept occurring.
Attempted solutions:
Flashing a Marshmallow ROM, Flashing CloudyG2 3.3 5 times, and flashing xdabbeb's 39a stock rom. Every rom I tried ended up with the same issue.
Please, any suggestions would be helpful. I suspect a hardware issue but I'm not sure. How do I test the Wifi radio or whatever has the antenna? Any suggestions to fix the issue? Thanks in advance!
I have the same problem, my wifi does not turn on and I can not even move the toggle. It is stuck on turning on. I have not found a solution yet.

I wonder if we can somehow test the wifi radio to see if it's working.. I don't know

Why does there always keep being an error when I try to turn the portable hotspot on? It just says Error when I turn it on and stays off. It works again when I restart the phone. It's really annoying when I keep having to restart the phone every time I want to turn the portable WiFi hotspot on. What's causing this error and is it possible to fix without having to restart the phone?

Is this a carrier branded phone? I have the I9505G on AT&T and I can turn on and off the WiFi Hotspot without a problem (Even though I'm not paying for the plan, it must be skipping the entitlement check.)
My phone is a SIM free UK phone on 3's The One Plan that allows tethering. It just immediately disables the hotspot when I enable it and says Error when I go into the hotspot settings. Video: https://i.site647.com/SCR_20131005_161447.mp4
Did you managed to fix this?

Can you turn on WiFi only ? My Hotspot behaved exactly the same/
I could not do so either on a modified TW, but it turned out to be I flashed wrong kernel version. Flashed correct KT kernel and WiFi and hotspot came back.

No. I don't know whether or not it's an app I have or what that causes it to stop working until I restart the phone.

I don't have any problems with normal WiFi. It's just the hotspot that I have problems with. I am using rooted stock ROM and kernel. Android 4.2.2 and firmware build number JDQ39.I9505XXUBMGA

Maybe try wiping \system and reflashing the ROM. Only take a few minutes and may clear it up.
Very easy. You just have to turn on your mobile data before turning on the HotSpot, idk why does that happen, but I was really annoyed by that consequence before. I found a way and I hope it works for everyone too.
The solution that worked for me was
1. Turn on HotSPot
2. And then turn on Mobile Data
If mobile data is already on and then you try to turn on hotspot is when the error occurs.
I also have this problem on ASUS Zenfone Max Pro M1 non-root and non-modified. I have logcat reader installed on so I have so many logcat on this hotspot error (and hundred thousand of lines). I boot my phone on safe mode and the problem does not suffice so I made a conclusion that third party is the culprit and while also that may be the case, pie update might also the cause of it since I found bunch of system error on recovery mode.
Edit: The cause was on ASUS, they broke their root integrity with Pie update.
Hey everybody..
I can't seem to get my wifi to turn on at all. Every time I press the wifi widgets it just sits there and turns off. I try and do it manually same thing.. it just hangs at turning on. I've tried a factory reset and it's still a no go.. anyone else have this problem

Here is the surest way to solve your wifi issue.
Download the official stock Odin flash firmware for your phones baseband and model.
The best and most reliable place to download the firmware is at HTTP://SamMobile.com
Before you odin flash be sure to:
#1: make a nanroid backup of your existing rom.
#2: Do a full wipe including factory reset in recovery.
Good luck!
tbf I would not personnally myself make a nandroid backup of a non working rom.
I'd backup anything I'd need,contacts,messages etc
make sure you use your phones propper rom that it initially came with
Hi everyone need some help with my sprint G2 LS980 model.
I was using cloudy G3 ROM 1.2 with Dorimanx kernel. I never used the wifi toggle in the status bar drop down menu, it was always ON since I installed the ROM, one fine day my brother used my phone for a day and thinking that keeping WiFi ON would drain more battery, he used the toggle. since then i started facing issues related to WiFi. when he tried turning it on later in the day, the toggle got unresponsive and then in settings, the WiFi button just said "turning on" forever. re-flashing the kernel helped once. WiFi turned on and it connected to already saved home network. but the next morning when I got up, rebooted the phone once and it was stuck at turning on.
For 2 days, I lived without any WiFi then during the weekend decided to try a few things to solve it. Initially using the wifi toggle was known to create issues in cloudy G3 1.2 so I flashed omni rom and also the 4.2.2(ZVA firmware) radio, everything worked except for wifi, there too it was stuck at turning ON. Later I flashed the ZVC tot file using the LG flash tool so phone was completely on stock 4.4.2 LG firmware but in that too WiFi is stuck at turning ON. Also factory reset after flashing tot didnt help. Also took the latest ZVD OTA and rooted again using ioroot but didn't help
any help will be appreciated guys!!
regards,
Vrishi
help anyone? can it be due to a loose connector for the wifi module/antenna on the motherboard?
help
bump guys!! any help???
Hi, did you find a solution for that issue???
im having the same one !
Hi, i would like to find out when there is continuos problems with my wifi. At first the wifi would turn on completely after the icon was tapped. Then it stopped working all together. I fixed that by flashing Lollipop from SamMobile. Then about 2 weeks ago I tapped the wifi icon and it would stay dim green as if it was turning on and then it would turn off by itself in 10 seconds.

Ever tried flashing a rom or something?
AFAIK there is this bug in stock firmwares. Many have had this problem. Try cleaning the cache using recovery. Might help.
Or maybe try flashing a better modem.

Hi ive flashed all kinds of roms and wifi would sometimes work. Please tell me a good modem to flash.
Hi there, I got an issue on the OOS 4.5.12 after 3 days of using it. I got the problem , that the button looks stuck. I can click it and it will change its own color, but it doesnt turn on my wifi. Now I know I can clean flash the update again, but In want to know if someone had/has this problem too, and if someone maybe knows a work-around.
Edit: So I tested the device furthermore and found out, that I can't turn my Wi-Fi hotspot on... Wiping dalvic/ART cache didn't work neither...
Strange.... I didn't have this problem at all.

Same until today ? I will try to dirty flash the update, just to see if this will solve the problem. If it doesn't work, then I will be switching back to 4.5.10 OOS
Sent from my OnePlus 5 using XDA Labs
When I got this error I found out it was because I flashed new firmware and used an older kernel which didn't support the new firmware. You should read your logcat and see if there is any clue there.
Hello. Calling for help!
I have the exact same issue except i am able to launch and use WIFI. When i try to enable portable hotspot it gets stuck on "Turning on". The hotspot button in the slider shows enabling but the hotspot never gets enabled. I was on OOS 4.5.15 and upgraded to 5.1.5 after which i restored only the DATA partition from TWRP. I am currently rooted. I tried with editing the build.prop file and restarted but the issue is persistent. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I would recommend a clean flash to test without restore old data.

Thank you for replying. I dug a bit deeper last night. Deleting the entire wifi folder from root and restarting fixed the issue.
I had a lot of problem with wifi after flashed a not stock rom. Nobody could me help until I find the solution. Tell me Jelly do you have mac address or it show 02:00:00:00:00:00?
