Ever since installing this rom i've been unable to use my WIFI.
How can i fix this, when i click it all it does is time out and never kicks in.
My WiFi has been a little flaky, especially if I've turned it on and off several times during the day, but usually a quick airplane mode toggle will bring it back.
Have you tried turning it on immediately after a fresh boot?

I have the most recent version of MIUI for Infuse. I have correctly flashed it and everything works great. However recently Airplane mode can not be turned off. No matter what I try the only way to get it to turn off is by reboot, and if I leave it in sleep mode airplane mode turns on and stays that way. Is there a fix for this?
Yeah same here. Can not figure out what to do. I have tried several available modems and they all seem to do it. I have tried UCKD5, UCKE3, UCKJ1, UCKJ2, UCKJ4 and UXKG3 and they all seem to have the same problem. HELP
Any solution to this? Thanks!
i have the same issue. it seems that the toggle doesnt really work through the settings. restarting the phone as of now is the only way to turn it off. unfortunately for me sometimes its on for a long period of time before i noticed that its on, and i end up missing calls/texts
Just installed this great rom. Definitely much snappier. Only issue I have is that the wifi does not go to sleep. Anyone else having the same issue.
Never mind. It was an app that kept the wifi on.

my dear friend can you please answer mw which was this program because im having this problem with all the latest nightlies and the 1.0.0.it has a wifi depp sleep issue and after many hous is frozen and i must rebooted with vol up+power button..i asked everybody about this problem but nobody till now told me what is going on..thanks in advance!greetings from greece..
I also have the same problem. Wifi never sleep and no apps or services are running.
This happens to everyone. Battery stats say wifi never sleeps, but it does turn off..although it seems it takes longer than on HC.
Battery life is same/better. It also goes to deep sleep.
I have not had this except when the nightlys got unstable.
did anyone try reverting back to complete factory stock (pushing factory images) and then putting eos on?
I bring this up because I got some crud lock in that factory reset and cach wipes would not clear. afterwards doing the above all was well.
also some live wallpapers and widets can be problematic.
I personally keep a unrooted untouch factory backup around to be able to start from scratch.
the eos 1.0 is rock solid for me except for a few browser crashes. I'm [email protected]
So this is a nontehnical solution to fix your wifi troubles. While your phone is on, turn the wifi off and then reboot the phone. When the phone comes back the wifi will still be off but you will be able to switch it on and off. If you reboot the phone with your wifi on, then your wifi issues will come back when you turn the phone off. I've used this technique for the last two days on AOKP v2 but if all of the ICS roms are using the same kernel then this should work in every rom.

Unfortunately I have not been able to reproduce this result. This method works for me and is reliable and I'm sure it can help others as well. I've tried turning the auto sync on and off and that did not help either.
I noticed that if it gets "STUCK" turning it on or off, if you wait long enough in the actual wifi settings not the notification bar or in the initial wifi settings (where it lists the available networks) you will see that the top button will eventually be able to be used. I am talking like a few minutes. Of course it would probably be quicker to restart the phone.

Which is why rebooting the phone with the wifi turned off is the simple solution for me.

One day my skyrocket started acting up. I have the AT&T version. what happens is The wifi could be working perfectly fine then when i let it sleep and then wake it the wifi is on and sometimes turns right back on and connects and other times it won't turn on, even when I try to manually. I've tried going back to pure stock, ICS Stock, and tried custom roms and it's all the same. Sometimes on first boot the wifi won't even turn on. Then sometimes when I'm out of wifi Range I turn it off and when I come back and try to switch it on it says "Wifi turning on.." then the toggle goes back to off but it still says that. Sometimes when the phone is in use, screen on, I could be browsing the web or on facebook and it shuts off and won't come back on. This has nothing to do with the Power Saving mode, I never touched that setting and I checked and it's set to "Always." So what could it be? It gets extremely frustrating. someone please help me :l
I searched the forums before I posted, I know this may fall into the development category but I couldn't post there..

when you say pure stock, do you mean you odin'ed back to stock? i'm no expert but if you've had the same issues on pure stock rom, custom roms it sounds as though it may be a hardware issue.

Well yes odin'd back, & also used kies through download/recovery mode. well the custom roms it does it on are all stock based... well I had installed MIUI but idk If it had done it on there. this issue is very frustrating..
i realized last night that the bluetooth does it too, so if it's a hardware problem does that mean the motherboard could be bad, not the actual components?
Hi folks,
There are two issues with WiFi on my Nexus 5. The first, which was happening before I upgraded to Lollipop, is that my phone no longer remembers WiFi passwords and I have to re-insert them every time. I've searched around for this and been told that it's because Android only remembers a certain number of passwords so I've tried forgetting quite a few old WiFi access points but to no avail. Any ideas on this issue?
The second issue has only started occurring since I upgraded to Lollipop and is driving me nuts. Basically I can only very rarely access the WiFi menu in settings now, making it near impossible to connect to new access points. Pulling down the notification shade and tapping the wifi icon just seems to turn it on and off rather than taking me to the WiFi area in settings - is that right? And then if I go into settings and tap on WiFi the screen goes blank and I get a force close message. Very occasionally or after re-starting settings a few times it will work.
Any thoughts on either issue would be much appreciated. I've read the thread on WiFi not turning on but don't think that's the issue and as I say the latter issue has only occurred since the Lollipop upgrade.
Thanks
Alex
With the quick settings, you have to tap the network name to go into the wifi options. The wifi pie slice thing turns it on the off.
Sounds like you could use a factory reset to fix your other problems.

I haven't ever encountered #1, so I can't help with that. However, with #2- touching the icon will turn wifi (or bluetooth, etc) on and off. If you touch below the line (where it says wifi, bluetooth, etc) it will open the settings menu. It matters where you tap.

Thanks for the replies chaps - I hadn't realised that tapping on different bits did different things. Regardless of whether I go in through the settings 'cog' or by tapping on the word 'WiFi' under the pulldown shade though the next screen is still blank and I get a force close message. In fact today one of the times I tried it the phone just froze on a white screen and only holding down the power button for ten seconds allowed me to turn it off and use it again. Anyone had any similar issues?
I'm having the same issues as you (both of them), and I'm also looking for the solution to it. For the first one, I'm trying to disable backup and renabling them. Read online that sometimes there's something wrong with the sync. Not sure if it solved the problem but will try.
For the second one, the problem is because it takes a very long time for the phone to search for wifi hotspots. So if you turn on wifi (ie clicking on the big button) and wait for about 2 minutes for it to search, wifi will work find. However, the 2 minutes is a long painful wait.... Im not sure what is the reason for the wait though, my nvidia shield tablet has no such issues.
Anybody has any solutions?

Both of these issues sound like you need a factory reset

I tried to do a factory reset yesterday. Took me a really long time but failed. So i ended up having to sideload the 5.01 factory firmware, which formated my entire phone.
In any case, it did not work. It still takes me a very long time 'turning wifi on...'
Any other suggestions?
