I have the jf 1.42 installed and I noticed that my wifi keeps being enabled even after I turned it off. I know its on or was on because I get the notification of a new hotspt was found, but when I go to turn it off its already off at times, and when I am around hotspots that I have used before and the phone has remembered it would connect to those networks I was wondering if anyone has experienced or solved this issue

Not sure if it's a computer, ROM, Phone, or app issue, but after a few minutes or so of being connected via wifi tether, it just stops working. According to the phone, I'm still connected, but the upload/download numbers reset to zero and pages stop loading in my laptop browser. The only fix I have is to disable wifi tether and re-enable it.
Any idea what would be causing this? I'm on Fresh 2.0d and have whatever version of wifi tether came on the ROM.

It's actually shutting off your data connection. If you take a look your data becomes dormant. If you turn of data and then turn it back it works again. I think it may be with the version. I just saw I had 2.0 and I'm going to put 1.6 back on. I'll let you know if it fixes the problem.
Here is the link for 1.6
http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wireless_tether_1_60_htc.apk
If you put on your sdcard and install using a file explorer it will change the script that is used and work.
Actually, I just checked, and I'm already running 1.6. Any other suggestions? Haha
are you getting a or making a telephone call when it conks out?

When ever your data goes to 0 is Ev in status bar white or gray? Might try doing adb logcat when you start up wifi tether or when you have the problem. I don't know what is causing the problem, but whever I turn off mobile networks and turn it back on it works fine after that.
I'm doing a logcat and using my wifi tether right now to see if I still have the problem.
Might try removing the one off your phone and push the one from the link above.

I was having the exact same problem. Read the 2nd post..No. No calls or messages or anything when it happened to me.
For no apparent reason, my phone won't connect to wifi. Says ERROR on wireless connections. It's a rooted device. Tried different roms. Same error.
Anyone?
have you tried a different router or wifi location?
If you have your phone rooted try flashing a diffrent kernel to see if that fixes the problem
he said he tried different roms....
I am also seeing something similar. Running stock froyo ROM with Overstock kernel. What I've noticed is that this doesn't seem to happen when the phone is first booted. After running for a while, the wifi toggle just stops working; resulting in the "Error" status as mentioned by OP.
The only ways around it is to:
a) Reboot, or
b) Use the 'airplane' mode toggle to switch to airplane mode and back, and the wifi toggle works again.
If there was a simple solution around it, that would be great.
I got excited when I saw your airplane mode idea... But it didn't work! Will try a different colonel
Have a look at this thred
I had much the same problem and followed the advice in this thread.

Mine does this whenever I arrive home. If I come to work the WiFi connects right up. But when I get home, the WiFi doesn't connect and shows "error" in the settings.
Going to/from airplane mode worked on my first Captivate (1007 running Paragon RC6 ROM), but it doesn't work on my new Captivate (1101, rooted, stock Froyo). The only thing that works for me is rebooting the phone.
Wifi Fix
Use FXR Wifi Fix app. Worked for me.
Ya sometimes it's just a hotspot acting funny...
i have upgraded to Android Revolution HD(ICS 4.0.3). i did the super wipe before installing. the only problem im seeing is my wifi wont change from the ssid its connected to. so i leave work and get home but it still thinks its connected to the wifi at work. then i have to turn the wifi off then back on before it will connect to my home network.
so i wiped everything out again thinking something went wrong. same results.
anyone seen this before..or know how to fix? i didnt that this problem on Honeycomb
Thanks for any info
Hi.
I only have one wifi network around atm. My N5 was working fine with it, and yesterday it started disconnecting from it.
Right now, when I try to connect, it connects for 3 or 4 seconds (it gets an IP address and actually connects to the Internet) before jumping back to data connection. When entering the Wireless menu on my phone it says "WiFi Connection Failure".
I thought I might have tweaked something I shouldn't (since also yesterday I installed Franco kernel and App Ops), so I went back to stock (using the Nexus Toolkit) and in the process I updated to the newest 5.1 release (I had LMY47D version and upgraded to LMY47I).
It didn't help. I also tried changing the router channel and security type to no avail.
Of course, I also tried to turn airplane mode on/off and forgetting network. And I just downgraded to LMY47D to see if that was the problem. But it didn't fix it.
I'm attaching the logcat. I hope I did it properly.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
UPDATE: I noticed it works in Safe Mode. I'll try to find which app is causing it.
I'm having exactly the same problem.
Updated to 5.1, after a run with Nike+ and Runkeeper, with GPS and Cellular Data on, battery drained and phone switched off. After a recharge, this problem emerged, different ROMs, different stock versions, different kernels. Nothing seems to make wi-fi work again.
Hi all. I have a weird issue that after Googling it doesn't seem anyone else has had.
The issue started earlier today, in the morning. I was using my phone on the WiFi and it was working phone, then my phone crashed, restarted itself.
I noticed it wasn't connected to the WiFi, went to the WiFi settings and where it usually says the list of networks it said "Turning on WiFi" and the slider at the top was greyed out so I couldn't turn it off.
I tried airplane mode and that didn't help. But the phone was working fine on my mobile data so restarted.
Now the weirder part starts. I basically have an issue where, if I turn on the WiFi, my phone crashes, or doesn't act like it's turning the WiFi on.
Even going Settings and then pressing on the WiFi option freezes the phone.
The problem started when I was still using 4.4.4 however since the problem developed I've used my mobile data to download the updates and now have 5.1.1 I think.
The problem persists even after updating to the most recent version and doing a factory restore. The phone is currently completely stock with nothing downloaded on to it. All I did is go through the first time setup for the device.
The WiFi currently is off, and the phone is working however it won't connect to my data, it has the signal bars and then an ! instead of a 4G icon.
If I try to turn the WiFi on it crashes the phone.
The phone is still under warranty so I plan on contacting LG on Monday however it's currently 3:34 AM on a Sunday so I have a day until I can call them and was hoping for a solution in that time.
Thanks in advance. I have the phone to hand so anything you want me to test I'm able to.
There is some information I didn't type as I don't know what is important was trying to avoid a wall of text so if you have any more questions I'll answer I best I can.
Thanks for reading, I hope you can help!
