[Q] WiFi and Bluetooth Problems

This is my first time using a custom ROM and I have experienced problems. I used the GingerIceJelly (Kernel) Custom ROM
When I first flashed my android:
its seems to be working perfectly at first. But as I tried the Wifi, I encountered a problem. I was able to connect to a secure Wi-Fi hotspot. But the problem was that it does not transmit data (internet). I have tried to connect to other Wi-Fi connections (with or without security) but still cant transmit data. Other devices that I used to connect to those routers where able to have internet/transmission of data.
After reading the thread again, someone suggested to have it reflashed. So I reflashed it again.
2nd Flashing of same custom rom: (followed the instructions obediently and diligently)
Bluetooth wont work anymore (especifically wont switch on). I have tried switching it on through the notification bar and at the settings but the results were the same. It says "error"
Wi-Fi problem solved but bluetooth seems to have problem now.
Thank you in advance for your help guys!

Thanks for the reply sir.
Well, I decided to reflash for the third time. Bluetooth now working perfectly and was able to send files normally. But the WiFi problem still exists. I tried your solution sir. But still no change. Wi-Fi can still connect but still no transmission of data. Same goes with the other networks I've tried.
Thanks anyway sir.

yes, i already flash stock via odin. I was quite frustrated for having that problem. I decided to flash other custom ROM for now (TD Kernel). Wifi and Bluetooth now working perfectly. :good:

[Q] Why does my Wifi & Bluetooth not working even with stock rom?

Hey guys,
I have a Galaxy S4 (i9500). I installed Omega ROM v22 on it and everything went smoothly, Wifi & BT working perfectly.
After a few hours of using the device (nothing special at all, texts and stuff like that) - I noticed my wifi isn't working and by not working I mean that I click the wi-fi button and it changes from gray to the mid-state between gray to green for around 20 seconds before it goes back to green ago.
If I open the menu to see my networks it just says "Enabling" without any networks there.
I had to drive somewhere so I went to my car and tried to enable Bluetooth, and same thing happens there - Bluetooth will not turn on and will stay stuck on mid-state between gray and green for a while and go back to green.
I flashed omega rom v22 again and the problem was gone, or so I thought. I went back to the car for another drive and realized the bluetooth issue is back - and when I got home I realized the wifi issue is back as well.
I figured I need to reset everything so I tried the following:
Full wipe (including dalvik and even including "internal SD card") and then flashing stock rom (from the official website, stock rom of my country).
The issue was back after a few hours. I do not have BT or Wifi access. Yesterday Wifi suddenly started working for a few hours but then it stopped working again.
I really need help! I have no idea what to do with this issue!

Well rule number one when you have problems after flashing without wipe.
1. perform a full wipe and see if the problem persists.

Tried that, no luck.
What else would you try?
In some places when people had problems with Wi-Fi they said to flash a different kernel but I don't see why I would have this specific issue with Omega Rom and why the default kernel with it wont work well?
Maybe this could be a root issue? My root works fine but I have this weird gut feeling like this is some permissions thing that's going on.
I'm trying to think why it would work right after the wipe but then stop working shortly after.
Another symptom: It randomly started working for a few minutes and then stopped again (around three hours ago).
Any idea what's going on?

Well, if you fully wiped and didn't restore any apps and settings then it can be two other things.
Or it's a bug in the rom or a hardware failure in your phone.
I would suggest trying a different rom first. Do not restore anything, not even your google account.

wi-fi fix?
Do you actually have an i9505? or is it a canadian or att version? if its the latter sometimes the devs offer some wifi-fixes, also try a different kernel. otherwise it could be that your radio/modem are not compatible with the version of the ROM you are flashing.

Tried arrow ROM and this issue doesn't seem to happen in this rom. Hope it stays like that...

Sadly, it did happen with this rom, after just a few hours.
I'm now using stock rom and still suffering from the issue.
Does anyone have ANY idea what I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

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:

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.

[Help] Can't turn on wifi

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?
