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
Community,
I would really appreciate some help with my S4 WiFi issue which is killing me for about 8 weeks. I have tried like everything i could find on the internet, but i cant find a solution that works for me. Time to hookup in the XDA and hoping for that one magic trick. I'm a little experienced and really no moaner or lazy technician, but i can't find any solution. Things i have tried:
- Battery removal while the phone is on.
- Slapping the phone on the backside.
- Reseating WiFi cable after removing the grey back from the phone.
- Editing build.prop
- Editing/removing WPA-SUPLLICANT file.
- Factory reset.
- Numerous of other ROMS.
- Uploaded the new Modem file, nothing worked.
- Tried to downgrade to 4.3, but it seems once your on 4.4.2, there is no way back.
- Disabling WiFi in Service Mode.
- Tried the "WiFi Fixer" App.
None of them seem to work in my case. Any suggestions you guys have to help a brother out?
Try to do a factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, wipe cache partition via a recovery and then flash the official rom again (obviously the flashing part is done with odin).
Hope this helps, let me know if not.

Did this before, except the Dalvik cache, since i don't have the option in the recovery menu. Yes the flashing is done with Odin. Any idea how to get rid of the Dalvik cache another way?

Hi mate ,
What rom do you have , stock or custom ?
I see you tried a lot of things , Wifi is kernel controlled what kernel you have , did you tried a different kernel?
when you said "Disabling WiFi in Service Mode." you mean using the dial code *#0011#?

I'm currently using i9505XXUGNG2, but i have tried NK4 and NJ8 just to remember some of them. Tried around 20 different ones, but none of them work. The NK4 worked for like 5 minutes, but then i came back to the same old %!#@$. Download are all from samfirmware, so i think they are stock? I have used customs roms in the past, when i owned a S3, but can't find any ones i can flash with Odin for S4. Should i try with an custom rom? And you know where to find them?

Well in principle the stock rom should be better , unmanipulated if you will , if the problem is present wit a stock rom is most likely it will be present in a custom rom
When it first showed this problem? , similar problems happen when you have a bootloader / modem mismatch
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50787570&postcount=2549
when using custom kernels sometimes too but if you are stock that is not the case
You could try a different modem ( check page 1 of the post i gave you) , also did you try switching the power save mode of the wifi off (*#0011#)??

That is from a stock rom.
After all you have done and if you tried different roms I start to believe it may be hardware related, i was going to suggest to try a different kernel but in a way you already had .....
When the problem first showed up? , if you scan for wifi networks can you see then? what happen when you try to connect? you said when you had NK4 it worked for five minutes.....did you try it again and see if it works again even if only for 5 minutes??

I can't enable WiFi. By drop down and through settings. What happens is that the WiFi button lights up, like it's trying to enable the WiFi card, but fails after a couple of seconds, no error code is displayed. Scan is greyed out. I have got it working on NK4 for 5 minutes yes, and then it broke again. Already tried the exactly same rom again, but no success.
The problem showed up couple of weeks ago. Not directly after the upgrade to 4.4.2. But after a couple of days after the upgrade through OTA.

In case you might suspects it is an hardware issue, i might let it resolve by the Samsung store in my city, since it still has warranty.

I am also facing similar issue after i upgraded from 4.4 to 5.0 through Odin. My phone is 32 GB, running BTU/UK unbranded firmware. I rooted it to resolve the issue and tried some fixes like Editing ro.securestorage=true, changed it to ro.securestorage=false but it didn't work. Please help.

Hi, thank you for the reply. I did some work on the device and flashed CM 12.1 via TWRP. Wifi worked good in it but I missed S Pen & S health (S Pen Helper Add-On wasn't good in CM 12.1). Hence, i searched about downgrading to 4.4 KitKat only to get back wifi and Stylus both. I have been partially successful in my effort i.e. I have flashed BTU firmware 4.4. and got the Stylus back but wifi problem persists. The wifi button simply does not turn on. It's different from the problem most people face regarding not scanning particular router or forgetting passwords etc. I am just trying to explain so that you guide me to the specific solution. I have tried short code *#0011# and turned OFF power save mode too but it didn't fix either. I liked the CM 12.1 but the trade off with Stylus was not in my favour therefore I had to revert to Stock ROM. So the current state of my device is shown in screenshots attached. Please help!

Tried both the applications. Even rooted my phone for the second app to give it access but nothing worked. IMO these apps can only fix when the wifi button is green but the internet connectivity got some issues like resolving DNS etc. In my case, the wifi button stays grey always. It turns dull green when i tap it and goes back to grey again. From the settings menu, when I swipe the wifi icon right to turn it on, it freezes for a while and gets back to left. I can still use Wifi with Custom ROM like CM 12.1 but I can't compromise the S Pen functionality which is why I returned to Stock ROM. In Stock ROM, Data Network & Bluetooth etc. are working fine. It's just the wifi which won't Turn On at all.

Wifi sudddenly broken?
I have been using AICP nightlies and everything has been great.... I was looking around in MiXplorer and dropped my phone (pressing many buttons catching it) and now my wifi will not turn on... at first my data wasn't connected either but then I flashed the http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=11326 and l got my LTE back but still my wifi will not turn on... . Oh yeah, and it says "Google play services error" persistently... I've I also wiped dalvik cache, cache, system and restored the system i had backed up w/ TWRP . No luck. I tried dirty flashing the newest release for hltespr which was the 20150925 from today with GAPPS-LP and no luck.... Whatever I hit in MiXplorer really effed some stuff up I suppose.. I have a full backup I can flash but it was over a week ago and I will lose a bunch of work..... Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this issue w/out formatting and completely wiping and starting over? If I have to go back a week or two it will truly be detrimental. Thanks in advance to any kind sir who will accept this mission!!!:fingers-crossed:
Wifi stuck on 'turning on'.. My Galaxy S4 won't let me enable Wi-Fi.

I don't know. But when something worked fine before and then, for no reason, stops working, then it might be the result of a hardware problem.

sometimes I click on 'hotspot' and it turns off wifi
so I play with this..
turn on hotspot turn it off, then reboot the device and then wifi is working for like 10min and automatically tuns off and it stars again..
its barely working thats why I thought it might be system error.

System error should disappear when you flash another ROM.
Did you clean flash or dirty flash?
Also, if the problem persists I suggest flashing a stock ROM (clean flash) and see if it fixes Wi-Fi.

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.

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
