After upgrading to JK4 via Kies I've noticed some strange Wi-Fi behaviour. It seems to manifest at different times and for no apparent reason, so I'm starting a thread to see if a) anyone else has this issue and b) if so, how does it manifest for them.
First manifestation: after turning on Wi-Fi through Notifications the text switched to "On" but the Wi-Fi symbol did not turn green. Going into the Wireless and Network settings on the phone caused a temporary lockup, when it did let me in Wi-Fi was showing "Error". A reboot of the phone fixed it, temporarily.
Second manifestation: after turning on Wi-Fi through Notifications the text switched to "On" and the Wi-Fi symbol turned green, but it did not connect to my wireless network automatically like it should. Going into the Wireless and Network settings on the phone caused a temporary lockup, when it did let me in Wi-Fi was rapidly switching from a "Turning on" state to "Turning off". It did this about 10-15 times in a few seconds then went to "Error". Turning on and off the Wi-Fi again solved this issue.
Every time I solve this it seems to come back within a 24 hour period. I didn't have this problem (from what I can see) on JK3. I factory reset before and after flashing to JK4, and I flashed JH2 back just to be on the safe side beforehand.
Let the discussion begin!

I quickly tried out after reading your post, and I did confirm your first issue happening, but only when I turn my Wi-Fi on and off really quickly. Also my phone didn't lock up as you described either. Basically, I could only make that issue to surface once I turn off the Wi-Fi, and then turn it back on as soon as my phone reports it is disconnected. When I go into Wi-Fi settings, it does say "Error" there, but if I check the "Wi-Fi" there again, it connects automatically.
I almost never use Wi-Fi because I get 6GB of data, but I can see this becoming a very annoying issue if you have to use Wi-Fi frequently.
Edit: Actually, I ran into a different issue just now. I kept on playing around with my Wi-Fi, and confirmed this happening: Wi-Fi text turns to "ON" but the icon doesn't turn green. When I go into settings, it says "Turning Wi-Fi On.." or something similar and is stuck there. I wasn't able to turn on nor off the Wi-Fi. Reboot fixed issue...for now I guess.
I have also had this issue but I believe it has to do with trying to turn on wireless when your preferred network has a very weak signal. When I'm next to my router, I can turn wi-fi on and off rapidly with no issues. I have only had the issue in my room which has a much weaker signal.

i was having problems with my wifi today...i wasnt able to pickup any wifi signals and i couldnt manually turn the wifi on either...i got a few force closes on some apps and decided to reboot the phone, hopefully sovling the problem...instead i got stuck in the boot loop at the i9000m logo and now my internal sd card is done....hopefully i can return this pos at bell(im on rogers) and do a hup through rogers for the iphone4...at least thats a stable device.

I've never tested right beside the router, but my room is next to the room which has the router so I would think I'd have a fairly strong signal.
Interesting, though...

I tested my Wi-Fi pretty much right beside my router as well...like less than 3 feet away. My phone was reporting it was seeing an "excellent" signal.

I find my wifi on my phone to be pretty solid.
I have an occasional issue where it does not see my wifi router at work, but all I do is turn it off / on and off she does. Just happens with the work router. Never had an issue with my linksys at home.
I've experience this issue with JH2 and it was caused by a change to fast in the settings. Just give your phone some time to connect and get identified on the network before you turn it off ans don't torn it on right after you disconnect it and you should be fine.
Been having the same issues since upgrading to JK4. Wifi gets stuck in "enabling" state occasionally when it try to turn it on. Sometimes I have to go as far as restarting the phone to get it to work again. Not a huge deal but still a nuisance.
I have seen both of these situations occur once after applying JK3 from Odin. It was shortly after booting it up for the first time including the "ERROR" text. I attributed it to a one-time glitch and it has not come back since. When I am home I force WiFi on and leave it in that state until I leave the house for work the following day so I am not constantly messing with the settings.
I get a similar issue butt only when activating my mobile AP.

I've been having a similar issue with my wifi since upgrading to JK4. I've gotten the "error" message on enabling wifi, but as others have mentioned it may be because I'm re-enabling it too quickly after turning it off. However, in one instance yesterday I tried re-enabling it several times after turning it off via the control widget and was ultimately forced to reboot before it worked again. Also, this morning I found that after leaving home and coming to work, I was still only seeing the wifi hotspots near my apartment rather than the ones in my new location (one of which I have saved and automatically connect to). I had to reset the wifi to find the local hotspots. Other than these wifi issues, I'm really loving JK4 so I just hope they get sorted out.
HI, i had no problem with Wifi. Since last time I got to the hostel and have a weak access point I have a bug with Wifi : when I activate it, it says "connecting... ". But nothing happens, it doesn't list access point around me too.
I found a way to make it work: I uncheck Wifi, check airplane mode then check wifi again. It works but I have to do it every each boot or wifi deactivation..
Is there a parameters or cache file stocking the weak ap I was trying to connect when the bug appears at first?
Thank you
Problem not solved but changer: now it work but wifi is never activated at startup.. can't force it to auto activate. Strange...
Anyone else have this problem? I just started having it, first on Phiremod 6 and now just updated to 6.3 hoping for a fix, but no dice.
I have sent back 2 nooks to BN for exchange because of this issue. I didn't know doing the airplane mode thing would temporarily fix the issue. I even did the 8 hard reset and restore and the nook would get stuck on finding wifi window - turning on wifi but nothing would happen. My nook was manualnooted 1.2. Strange?
I'm on nightly-87, Dal's 1.2GHz OC Kernel 5/23, and I'm experiencing something very similar. I went from 7.0.2 to N87 without a hitch, but I immediately started to see the WiFi icon go gray and lose it's connection. I was forced to restart WiFi as a remedy. As of today I'm getting something closer to what you're talking about; when WiFi turns on, the nook will infinity cycle through: disconnected->connecting->disconnecting->scanning. I've wiped Cache, Delvik-cache many times to no avail. Also tried re-flashing N87 and the OC Kernel, which did not work. I'm still not able to connect to my home network(netgear, WPA). But, after enabling/disabling airplane mode, I was able to connect to my LG vortex and obtain the interbuttz.
The last time I did a fresh install was around N20 something. As far as possible causes to this erratic and ethereal bug, my money is on certain update paths for both the OS and Kernel having different remnants. Example: with 87 different experimental OS installs and, to a lesser degree, the three different stable OS installs. There are technically !90 different upgrade paths. Compounded by being paralleled by kernel installs, but I believe when a kernel is updated the former is completely replaced instead of merged. I'm not calling out the Dev's, it would be nearly impossible to foresee and head-off all of the permutations of merging 87+ releases.
I'm no expert, just my two-cents. I'm not really concerned about this as a long term bug. There are fine people hard at work, and unfortunately have far more pressing issues to contend with. It's a sad reality that community driven projects, notably the nook Color, rarely reach maturity or complete/efficient hardware-software integration before the allure and newness of a product wares off.
As a consumer of .rockbox, a Linux based OS for G5.5 ipods and below, Of which I've been using for years and years. And, I would say it's just now becoming 'perfect', even with it's lack of support for many peripheral devices. I'm long term with my gadgets.
I'm rambling now.
Hope this helps to narrow down symptoms and possible causes.
It seems that my problem is a known issue of cm7 (when you click airplane it stay on forever but the checkbox remains unchecked). Try a tool from market that shown me the airplane mode and unchecked it from here. Since I didn't reboot from that test I don't know if it's solved for now.
my NC on CM7 just stopped connecting too
I turned on my NC this morning and my WiFi no longer works either.
All of my hotspots say 'not in range'.
I tried all of the tools I have to turn off 'airplane' mode (just in case it was on)
but, nothing seems to get me 'out of the mode.
What can I try next?
Wifi miraculously auto-fixed itself, and then broke itself again

While researching potential solutions... CM7 auto-fixed itself after about 15 minutes.
I didn't touch it.
All of a sudden I heard the Gmail tool beep at me with new messages and the market with a few apps updates that were available.
Now it seems to be working fine.
I spoke too soon, I just powered off and on again to see if the problem was fixed
permanently, and its not... its back to the 'not working' state.
(I hate when that happens, because I don't know what caused it, and I don't know what fixed it!)
This happened (WiFi not hearing any APs) to me a few times with nightly 87, but hasn't happened since I upgraded to n94.

SAME! Bump.
Same issue.....latest nightly on VG SDcard solution. Never had a problem until recently. Was runnning 7.03(flawlessly) then suddenly started experiencing the issue, flashed the latest nightly (113)...worked for a bit, rebooted and now nada..... just sits at connecting..... then goes to disconnected. Cycles every couple of minutes.....
Any suggestions on what to look at?
**** Note ; WIFI works fine when I boot to EMMC (Nook 1.2) . So I do not believe this to be a hardware problem.
I was just looking for this issue also.
I was doing great with nightlies and the OC 6/18 kernal, this morning I updated to the Nightly 114, and I received no wifi connection on booting up.
So I did all the normal things (1. turn on/off the airplane mode - No change, 2. fixed permissions - no change, 3. restarted multiple time (aft all the prior changes) - no change) Ok I thought, I will go back to my previous nights backup (Nightly 113). But I still get no wifi. The widget says trying to connect, but none of my networks are showing up within range. I run wifi analyzer and I see NO networks (normally I would see about 5 to 7 of them).
So I begin stepping back, I reinstall the Nightly 113, with No OC, and while the wifi is off on bootup, once I 'turn it on' now I see my networks.
I'm cooking with gas now, so I install the OC 6/18 - No Wifi
So I install the OC 6/13 - Still no Wifi
Both times, the Nook boots up with the wifi 'off' so I turn it on, but no connection or sensitivity.
I again reflash the Nightly 113 only and while it again boots up with wifi 'off', I am able to turn it on and it actually sees my networks.
So strange, I am stuck without my OC kernal, but as least the nook works again.
Does anyone have an idea why this is happening to people?
Thanks

The issue in the OP isn't related to the one you're talking about. Try deleting one or more of your remembered wifi access points with wifi on. Let it rescan and, if it's not some other issue, it should find your access points and connect.
Suffering this same issue as well on my Nook Color. I believe the problem lies under /data, and here's why. First, I made a backup of /data, and then wiped everything:
* I restored my device to factory 1.2: Wifi works
* I flashed CM7 nightly 113: Wifi works
* I flashed dalingrin's OC'd 6/18 kernel: Wifi works
* I restored /data from my backup: Wifi is stuck at "Connecting..."
I thought it might have something to do with the settings.db file under /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/, but when I deleted that file and rebooted, it made no difference with the Wifi problem.
Something under /data might have a problem with the latest CM7 builds, but I couldn't say what exactly. I'm not an expert at this stuff, so I can only share what I've observed and tried for myself.
Hi. I have the same problems with Wifi since this morning. Is there any other solution then turning on and off airplane mode? thx
Formatted /system and /cache, and wiped the Dalvick cache, then flashed only CM7 nightly 143.
The problem still exists. Wifi is stuck at "Connecting..." Has anyone found a solution to this? It's obviously something to do with a setting/file under /data, because if I format /data, Wifi works like normal. But when I restore my backed up /data, Wifi is stuck at "Connecting..."
I think I found a solution. This worked for me, so I hope it works for others.
Shortly after writing my previous post above, I decided to play around with my NookColor, to see if I could get the Wifi to work normally again. Here's what I did, which fixed the "stuck at connecting" problem for me:
1) Go to Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi settings
2) Check to enable Wi-Fi, if it's not already enabled
3) Click every wireless network in your list and choose "Forget"
4) Make sure every wireless network is forgotten
5) Check to disable Wi-Fi
6) Check to re-enable Wi-Fi
Instead of "Connecting..." I now see "Scanning" and it picks up the routers around me! I selected my router, and it connected! I am now able to browse the web, update my apps, and all seems to be working normally now!
You can also watch if airplane mode is really off using Android assistant:

Man, you really had my hopes up with this one. You're the first person I've seen say every remembered network needs to be forgotten. But I followed your steps exactly, and my NC still will not connect. It sees all wireless networks available. It knows which ones are open and which ones are secured. I can go so far as to enter the password and click Connect. It says "Obtaining IP address from...", then quickly flashes "Unsuccessful", then "Scanning...", then loops indefinitely. I even took your steps one step further and rebooted before turning WiFi back on. Still doesn't work.
This is the fourth time this has happened to me. And every time, the only way I've been able to fix it is to completely reinstall CM7. That's not a fix, that's a wrecking ball. I'm pretty desperate to find a fix because my NookColor has become a joke, almost unusable. Right when I get it to the point of enjoying it and getting it set up just the way I want it, this happens. And the damn thing is useless without WiFi.
I also installed the latest nightly build, which was from last night. Nothing.
Guys,
I updated my tab a few days ago. Now the market looks different but unfortunately I'm facing another irritating problem which I have no clue how to solve.
Every time that I turn off the tab, and let it be idle for 10 minutes, when I turn it back on, the WiFi icon will show no bars - which translates into no internet connectivity. That happens while the WiFi button is still pressed (green in the pop-up menu). In order for the device to connect to the net I need to turn the WiFi OFF and than ON and it works.
I checked the WiFi sleep configuration and they are set to "never turn it off" I also rebooted the device but with no change.
Please let me know what to do... as this thing sometimes just drives me crazy.
Thanks.

Flash a custom rom bro. Otherwise you are stuck with Samsung's awesome bugs. If you don't want to flash a custom rom there isn't really much you can do about it considering you're not rooted. What did you update to? KMP???
I did the regular Samsung update -the latest one that was released a couple of says ago. The problem with rooting is losing the coverage I have for insuring the device... which I'm reluctant to do. I'm sure it has a solution somewhere...
Yes I confirm.
This "reconnect" issue is being discussed on many forums with no solutions yet. (except custom ROM)
I had CM11 on my Nexus 4 and did a full wipe, then flashed the official Lollipop image (using flash-all.sh script). The process went smooth, without any problems.
Now, I am having WiFi issues. When I turn on WiFi from quick settings it changes the icon, but doesn't connect to the network yet. If I try to access WiFi settings it opens them up, but I can see only the actionbar and a blank white screen. No networks shown. Sometimes I even get "The app is not responding dialog". It sits like this for about 30-60 seconds and after that it connects to the network and I am able to access WiFi settings.
Sometimes I can't turn WiFi on at all. Quick settings don't change the WiFi icon to the ON state. If I try to turn it on from the Settings, the switch does literally nothing - not even "Turning WiFi on..." shows up.
I tried to reflash the system - still get these issues. Tried reflashing just the radio module - didn't fix it. No idea what to do. KitKat worked just fine.
Does anyone else have similar problems?
Same issues, but on a Nexus 10.
I have exactly the same issues as you, but on a Nexus 10. Running LRX21P 5.0 Lollipop.
+1
I used Wugfresh 1.9.6
Downloaded and installed LRX21T
Did a complete wipe (cache and factory reset)
Did a selective restore of ~75 apps from Google backup
Played with the machine for hours.
Rebooted, now got no wifi
Anyone suggest a workaround?
EDIT: I came across this post in the Nexus 5 Thread , where he suggests changing your router's channel to something below 12. I changed mine from 13 to 8 and now wifi seems to be working.
EDIT2: Sadly the above was a red herring. The problem seems more complex. Hopefully Google will release a fix soon

I don't think my problem depends on the available WiFi networks. But thanks for the response.
I have the exact same issues, Wifi doesn't turn on at all. It doesn't matter if I press the quick settings button or the button in the menu. It says Wifi on, but nothing happens. After the screen goes dark, Wifi turned itself off again.
Any suggestions? Thank you!

I'm having the exact same issue. Wiped with ADB and flashed LRX21T factory image from Google's website. No error codes during flash.
Wifi is great - if you leave it on all the time. As soon as it turns off, it will NOT turn on. I get no error message, no timeout like it usually does when Wifi isn't working properly, no crash report. Nothing. Just a stalled Wifi acting like it's turning on. If I exit Wifi settings page, and come back, it shows as being off. Turn it on, and it just hangs the same way.
So frustrating.
It's for sure not the network I'm on, as it also doesn't turn on when I'm not near Wifi, or when I'm at a friend's house. Rebooting the phones makes the Wifi work again...until it turns off for ANY reason. Then we're back at square 1.
I'm having this same issue...
My WiFi seems to turn itself off. Then there is no way I can get it to turn back on unless I reboot the phone.
Very frustrating.
I have the same issue.I sideloaded the OTA and everything went great,no errors during the installation.I was on stock 4.4.4.
When I turn on the Wifi it takes around 30 sec to connect to a network.If i click on the Wifi menu in the setting it usually freezes or I get a black screen.After that Wifi works fine,but another thing I noticed it doesn't remember new networks.I don't know if a factory reset would help...
Anyone find a solution yet? Did a factory reset eliminate the problem for somebody?
I got the same thing. Currently, I'm using Power Toggles to do the on/off setting.

I'm facing a different issue. Whether I have WiFi on or off, it always appears active in the battery usage stats ('scanning always available' is off)
WiFi was off when the screen was off from about 3 am to 2 pm.

I am having the same issue. very frustrating. it was working perfectly last night on my home network, but now it wont connect to my work network. it has the same issues as everyone else. the wifi toggle will turn on, but it will not show any networks. then after a couple of seconds it will turn itself off.
^^i am having that issue as well. the battery usage stat page is showing wifi as on even though it is off.
Have the same issue. After some standby time, turning Wifi on again, it showed me networks where I am not close to anymore and didn't show me the actual networks where I am right now. This seems to be a serious bug that needs fixing. I don't want to reboot my phone to fix it. Didn't Google delayed the Lollipop-Update because of some Wifi issues?
I have all the symptoms listed in this thread. I filed a bug report too: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=80028&q=LRX21T
Found this thread when this problem popped up for me after flashing the factory images one by one. Might try to find a source-built ROM using a later version to see if it got fixed.

Decided to install N a few days ago and test it out, everything was going fine but after returning home from work today my wifi will not reconnect. I've added the info for my wifi back in several times, the phone says the network info is saved, but it never connects or even appears in the list. Don't really feel like wiping again right now, so did anyone else run into this and manage to fix it? Any ideas? I've already tried all the usual stuff, but no luck.

Apologies if this is a silly response but is N official? I thought it was a beta? I'm assuming if that's the case then you'll get variable success with connectivity and functionality.
Do got have the most up to date vendor and is the kernel your using optimised correctly or should you expect issues!

Definitely not a bug. I have been using the preview since day one, and WiFi is working completely fine. Here's what you can try - wipe cache from recovery. And then if it still doesn't show up, you may try resetting your router settings.
I have faced such issue, but that would be subjected to all my devices connected to that specific router. Caused generally by lousy internet connectivity, or some router issues.
I had already tried doing both those things but the problem still persists. I guess I'll just have to try a factory reset or wait for the next update and see if it resolves itself.

The next update is near. In case you can't wait, factory/reset would be good option.
Went ahead and rolled back to MM and everything was working well, then I reinstalled N and wifi was again working without issue. I just returned home from an interview though and wifi will not detect my network again. SSID is still saved, but won't appear in the list or connect. Did a cache wipe from recovery, re-entered my wifi info, reset modem and router, but still no luck. So it appears to be something that I can replicate, and only with N. Here's hoping the next update fixes it.
I'm on the N beta preview 3, and my wifi will randomly stop working on my 6P. I have to switch it back each and every time. Also, when I return home, my 6P won't automatically reconnect to wifi like it did on MM. Definitely seems like a bug.
I am using the latest preview. Wi-Fi won't connect. It shows both the 2.4 and 5 ghz options as saved, but it won't use either one. Older version of Android connects fine to same router. I have a NetGear router.
same issue
Yes I would like to report having this issue as well on the 6P in N beta. I have a 5x on MM in one hand 6P on N beta in the other . 5x has connection fine 6P does not using 3 different routers.
Android N on 5x experiencing same issue. Any resolution?
I can report the same. Has anyone discovered a fix?

Wifi works great on preview 4. Might suggest a full wipe of your phone and flash again. ATTACH]3800543[/ATTACH]

Mine works well however if you turn it off and then travel away from your router with wifi off; it will fail to reconnect upon returning to your home wifi and turning it back on. Do you ever turn your wifi off for an extended period of time?

WiFi Issue
Don't know if related. In my case, cannot turn on/off wifi. Even while of it shows the progress bar as if it was looking for networks. Have no wi-fi at this point and unenrolling from the beta isn't sending me the rollback to marshmallow. This on a Nexus 6P
Temporarily fix
I found a temporarily fix till the next update (hopefully) fixes it. Hop to advanced setting and click on wps button. Wait for 5-10 second then click cancel. Hop back to wifi list and you should find your SSID. Sometimes it won't connect even though it's saved and appears in the list. What you want to do is keep clicking on connect. This should help, atleast it does for me. Nexus 5X on Android N.
