The other day I bought the samsung infuse from a guy, and he told me the wifi wouldn't turn on, so I assumed it was a software issue.
This is everything I tried:
-Factory Reset
-Flashed back to stock with root with Odin
-Flashed Flashed ICS recovery
-Flashed Beanstalks Rom
-Flashed CM10.2 Rom
After all of these steps, I still can't get the wifi to turn on. Ive also tried all the fixes I found online, dialing *#*#526#*#*, with fixer app, etc. Could this be a hardware issue?
Did you try turning wifi on when using the stock rom?

Yeah, it wouldn't turn on then either.
So I was looking t qkster's How-to on installing roms, and under the wifi fixes, I tried all of them, and FXR wifi fixer gets stuck at 'Deleting Profiles'. Still can't get it to turn on, could somebody please help?!?

It's not a MAC address issue for me as far as I know, I just can't get my wifi to turn on period. Like I can't even get to the point where it will scan for networks. Also noticed my bluetooth won't turn on, but I don't really use it.

try to use the code *#*#232338#*#* and check if the wifi mac address is available.

Found it in settings and it says 'Unavailable'. I'm assuming this is your issue too, but could it the reason my wifi won't turn on?

After browsing a bunch of forums I still can't find a fix... 160 views, So I'm not the only one having the problem. Surely someone can find a fix, I need wifi, I have a data limit.
So I flashed back to stock, and tried to flash drivers, and it said they installed successfully. But on stock GB it will turn on, scan, then turn off, not detecting any networks. Help??

Troubleshooting this require several directions.
1. Make sure the router or the wifi source is working properly. Are the other devices picking up the wifi signal also?
On the router, there is a dhcp lease time...set this on a different setting, ie..from Forever to 2 wks ..etc
2. Back up your data and pics etc and take out the micro sd card. Factory reset and data wipe with full format a few times from in the ROM. Boot into cwm and reset again.
The flash to complete GB stock - heimdall or odin with a complete re-partition - and try to run it stock. Try reseting the router again.
3. Open the phone and check the connections, remove the circuit board and the connections. See if anything is loose or corroded.
If after this and your wifi won't turn on, it could be hardware.
The easier solution is to take it or send it to a repair shop..repairuniverse and mobiletechvideo are two examples I've seen on other posts

Yes, all devices in my house are receiving wifi. I've done all of the above except for open my phone, which I don't have the means to do. This weekend I'll be taking it to a repair shop to get looked at. I'll let you guys know if they fix it, and what the problem was.

yeah...i noted that you did..couldn't hurt to try it a few times though...sometimes, wifi doesn't work right due to voodoo or partition mismatch..only a repartition or complete reset a few times with reformat may fix...

I took it to the repair shop, and he opened it and said it looked perfectly fine. Guess all I've got left to try is repartitioning.
can you tell me how to do it i have used the odin to repartation the device.

Turning WIFI on...
Ok, so i've spent the last few hours trying to troubleshoot the above error... and i have a solution that worked for me... I couldn't turn my wifi on at all... it just said "Turning WIFI on..." in trying to fix the issue i was trying to download WIFI Fixer via 3G... which failed with error 492... so i followed the advice on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1641114 which inadvertantly fixed my WIFI... So basically I cleared all Data and Cache of both Google Play and Google services framework... rebooted into recovery wiped cache, and cleared Dalvik cache, and my problem was solved... i hope this helps someone else.

ok this is like most other wifi threads for the g2x concerning the wifi... it just simply wont work. i've tried all possible methods i can find to get it to work.. tried all wifi/dns fixer apps i could find and still no connection..tried factory resetting and running the wifi at first set up no go.. tried the whole turn off data turn on wifi turn on wifi calling etc etc also no go ... and last but not least tried several roms/kernels like wg2x, eblood,cm7 also a no go...
wondering if anyone know other methods i can try to resolve this issue? or maybe im doing somethinfg wrong? or its just the phone and is in need of replacing?

Sounds like your connecting wrong or the password is wrong. Your phone's wifi is working as it is on, sees the network, and trying to connect. Your router is denying it.
Best solution would be to confirm your access. Perhaps remove any security and/or just default the thing. Could be anything.

I have upgraded my P6200 through MobileOdin ytd night, to ics
But afterwards, I can nv make my wifi works...
I have three router at home, it can scan them out initially,
but then it will scan again, and showed them "not in range"
so I can nv connect any of them even i typed in necessary security parameters...
I return office and try...still not working...
Occasionally, more serious situation, like the wifi switch keeps toggling itself on and off...= =
I have no idea why it would be like this...
And what should I do to recover it??
THank you all so much~~~

Recently I have been experiencing Wifi disconnects every 2-3 hours. I have tried Wifi settings by clicking on connect, tried choosing forget and resiging in and tried the app Wifi fix but all the app tells me is it is "completed" but it is not. The only way I can get it back is to reboot but then it only fixes it for a couple hours. I thought it might somehow be connected to the rom (CROMI-X 5.2.4) though it has never happened with any rom before. So, I reinstalled a older rom (CROMIX 4.7.0) which was always stable for me in the past but it started doing the samething.

Go into setting/wifi/advanced In there make sure you WiFi region is set to your area... Try unchecking some or all of the optimization for the wifi... See if that helps, let me know.. As always thx lj
The only thing I have checked in Advanced Wifi is Notifications Wifi on during sleep is set to never. As for right region I.m not sure what you mean, my mac and ip address' are correct.
Check your router as well. In my experience routers cause a lot more wifi problems than people realise.
It's worth rebooting them every now and then. Also download wifi analyzer and make sure you aren't on a channel with a lot of neighbours.
DIdn't you have a NetGear router? The latest firmware was known to cause issues. Did you downgrade it?
I rebooted my router and I moved to another channel, so now I will wait and see. What I do not understand is when I lose wifi on the Asus I will ask my wife to check the wifi connection on her tablet and hers is fine?
Well guys, I did everything you suggested and it is still doing it. I am now running 5.3a. Has anyone everheard of the wifi just suddely breaking on the Asus? The reason I ask is that even though I broke my Asus warranty I do have a square trade warranty.

Try flashing back to pure stock from Asus or a clean install at least.
When doing a clean install but I want to save whats on my internal card can I just move /sdcard to my pc before I do a full wipe or should I move other stuff also? What do you suggest?

If you just wipe from TWRP it only wipes you apps and data. You won't lose any media stuff so pictures, music, videos etc will stay. You should do a titanium back up if you want to restore apps and data.
If you choose format you will lose all so yes you would need to backup to either your PC or external SD. But you don't need to format to do a wipe.
Did a clean install and now wifi no longer stops.
I am having another problem, playstore apps updates or new apps do not seem to ever finish d/ling, the blue line just keeps running forever. I have tried stopping and restarting but that does not seem to do anything.
Should I post this as a new question?

Hey Guy,
I can not connect to our WLAN in the University. It is secured with PEAP and MASCHVAP2. Android wont connect. Does someone have this problem too? Does anybody have a Fix?
Same Problem :/
I'm experiencing the same problem here. I'm trying to connect to the company Wifi here at work and it's failing, although it is working for all of my coworkers that are not using Lollipop.
The Wifi is configured as a hidden SID with PEAP security. My phone tries to connect, then briefly shows "connecting", then after few seconds goes back to "saved". I would imagine it's going to drain my battery because it tries to connect every 10 seconds, repeating the pattern described above.
Does anybody know how to fix this?
i think i didnt had that issue today everything was ok...i will check next time
Really? Wow, but i cant believe that nobody had the same issue while preview.

My WiFi is working fine. PEAP/MSCHAPV2. Win2k8 R2 running RRAS, AD user authentication, and WPA2 Enterprise on the WAPs.
Did you Upgrade or installed a Factory Image? And How do you Installed the Factory Image?
I remember, that i have not made this step: ★Select "Wipe data/factory data reset", could this be the reason?
Same issue
I'm having the same issue. I installed via factory image
Did you Wipe/factory data reset after flashing the Image?
I'm connected fine with WPA2 enterprise using PEAP/MSCHAPv2. I flashed the factory image last night manually without wiping data (ie. I didn't flash userdata.img). Not having any wifi issues at work today. Sorry, I know that doesn't help you get yours working... but maybe collecting information about who it's working for or not working for and how they upgraded will be of some use.

I used the flash-all.bat that wipes data during the flash.
me too!
Maybe, flashing like phazerorg prevent some Issues . phazerorg can you describe all your steps here, tell us everything, every went to toilett and for coffee.

I did what the flash-all.bat script does, except I didn't flash userdata.img. Although just now I wiped cache for another reason and now my wifi is having the same issue as yours. It doesn't appear limited to PEAP/MSCHAPv2, apparently... looks like wifi on Lollipop has some real problems: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=78702
I might be flashing back to 4.4.4 because I need to have wifi working properly... too much of a deal-breaker for me if it's not.

I tried forgetting the network and setting it up again from scratch and now it connects fine. Not sure what happened, but now it works... doesn't change the fact that a number of people are having wifi issues with 5.0.
Hm, can someone, who has these problem, try to flash without userdata.img?
I sideloaded the OTA on to a stock, unrooted N5 and can't connect to my company's PEAP network with no Phase 2 authentication.
Got on to my work wireless using PEAP/MSCHAPv2 fine - sometimes notice a small exclamation mark next to the WIFI icon on the status bar, doesnt really tell you what it means but the connection seems usable and ok.
Used flash-all last night
Same issue - cannot log into company wifi after flashing factory image using flash-all including userdata.img yesterday. I don't know how to check what type of network it is but in Wifi Analyzer it says it is WPA2.
It was fine in the final L preview.
My home wifi that uses WPA/WPA2 PSK works too, so is connecting to wifi hotspot from another smartphone.
Hmmm... Have you all tried rebooting your device? For me, Wi-Fi isn't working on every other boot. I did a clean install of Lollipop too. My wife's Nexus 5 seems to be doing it too...
Okay, I now have rebooted several times now and it is working each boot now... WTF... well whatever. :\

If you have a exclamation mark on your wifi it's not working. You are using your wireless data. Try switching off your wireless data while using Wi-Fi and see what happens.

I have rebooted about once or twice at work but same result. Do you think more reboots would have worked?
I was mistaken, mine isn't working at all using PEAP/MSCHAPv2 ... Tried multiple reboots but i never get an IP back
Looks like i'll have to roll back to KK 4.4 as I need my phone on the work network
Edit - now it seems to be working - what the hell lol ... this is random! Ok it's connected fine and i can access stuff, but i still have an exclamation mark on the wifi icon.
My wifi was acting up, it would never turn on no matter how many times I tapped on the wifi icon or the ON switch. It was be stuck on "Turning on...". I noticed my WiFi MAC address would be 02:00:00:00:00:00 instead of my original one.
I decided to clean install and everything was working at the start then out of nowhere my wifi started acting up again.
Has anyone ever had a similar issue? Could somebody help me, please?

your phone shows only the real mac, when connected to a network. reinstall your rom or try to format data / cache partition to solve the problem.
Thanks for your reply @matze19999
For future reference, I clean installed again and did NOT restore previous wifi/network settings.
I had tried spoofing my MAC in the past and that might have caused the problem to begin with.

Spoofing without rooting is not possible so you might have broken something.
this problem is kernel related. you should back to stock kernel for your rom
