Hello all and I am here to address the problem i am facing with WIFI in my Galaxy S4.
When i try to turn ON WIFI using the the WIFI toggle from drop down it stays in light green state for some time and comes back to same state and it is not turning ON.
I searched the web to solve this problem and I found that to use a code in the dialer *#*#526#*#* to load a driver.And yes it says wrong number and ends the call.
But when i tried by tapping the WIFI toggle and immediately dialed that code the WIFI turned ON !!!!!!
Now the problem is : I should dial every time i need to turn the WIFI ON .
Please help me with this problem.
My Device details
AT&T Galaxy S4 updated to Android 4.3 (But i am facing this problem since one month)
Not done any modifications to my device
But i tried factory resetting which did not HELP.
Hoping you guys come up with a solution....
Thank you....

Hi,
Since last couple of days i m facing this issue.
When I try to turn on the wifi either from setting or from notification slider, the device does nothing and wifi status shows turning on.... but it never turns on..., tried booting the device several times... activated and deactivated flight mode.... but no luck... The device is just 3 months old and I dont want to root it to preserve warranty..... going to service center is the last optiin for me as they are going to take much time... anyone faced similar issue ? Is there any work around apart from rooting the device ? Seeking some help .... really frustrated...
Model Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 GTP3100 (WIFI +3G)
Thanks in advance,

Thanks for your suggestion... I did that after posting question here ! but it didn't worked as well !
If you're sure that it's not a problem with your network but your tablet and a factory reset didn't fix it, it should go to the service centre.
Can it connect to other wifi networks? What do you mean by never turns on - does it say its on but not do anything?

Hi There,
The device will connect to some network only when it's wifi is turned on ! The WiFi status shows "Turning on the WiFi" but it never turns on and shows me available networks to connect...
Anyways looks like visiting service center is the only option for me ! Thanks for your time mate !

Hey,
I have the same problem after updating my (tab 2 Wifi-3G 10.1) to Android 4.2.1. the tablet was working so well after updating, but after that I wake up and I had that anoyning problem. the problem is when I click on the setting and try to turn on the wifi it shows only (turning wifi on...) and nothing happening. it feels like the wifi cant start or establish the connenction, therefore no available wifi routers or Hotspots can be listed.
What happened the last two days, I tried to check if the tablet will work again after 2 weeks no charge and drain all the battery, SO IT REALLY WORKED BUT ONLY FOR 5 MIN and the problem came back again.
I downgrade to Android 4.0.4, tried fix apps like "FIX MY WIFI", also download the patch file " wpa_supplicant" and all these steps did not really helped or fixed this issue.
Internet and google didnt really gave me the good answer and also there are many tablets with this problem.
NOW, If anyone KNOW anything about that problem PLEASE TRY TO POST YOUR SOLUTIONS.....
Thanx alot
Hey guys!
I own a Samsung Galaxy S Duos.
The issue is quite clear from the Title itself.
The connection to the wifi cuts off randomly without any warning and I have to restart the whole modem.
I have been facing this issue for quite sometime and here are the apparent soluiions I tried:
- Turning off the cell and restarting it.
-Turning off the wifi (on the cell) and turning it back on.
-Forgeting the network and connecting it back again.
-Resetting the cell.
- Re-flashing the stock firmware. (It was a clean re-install)
I have done all these and still the issue persists .
I am quite sure that its not the modem's problem because I have got a number of other devices connected simultaneously to the same modem and all of the devices are connected to it flawlessly.
I have been googling for this issue throughout and couldnt find any solutiom for this.... so someone please help me....
P.S My cell works fine with other wifi networks........ So far I havent had any issues with other wifi networks maybe because I havent connected to it long enough
Hi everyone,
so i just recently set my phone back to stock and installed all of the OTA updates from t-mobile. But now I have a wifi issue. Whenever I turn WIFI on, airplane mode automatically goes on and I lose signal, but WIFI will still be functional. I know there was a simple fix for this before because I encountered this the first time I rooted my phone but I dont remember what it was, and I tried searching posts for it.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance
Hello,
A friend of mine got a problem with his galaxy tab. The WiFi button doesn't turn on. When you try to turn on the button, it gets greyed out and there is a message saying: "Turning on..." After 5 seconds the button turns OFF again and this goes on and on and on.
The WiFi used to work properly for about 1 year, but now it acts like this.
It is definately not a router issue, because all other defices work fine with wifi on. It also doesn't turn on when I appoach a different router.
Then I rooted the tablet using Odin, but that didn't help.
I read through several forums and people with the same problem did a factory reset, but that didn't help either.
Anyone that could help me please?
Thanks in advance.
P.S. I'm talking about GT-P5110, using Android 4.2.2 and build number JD39.P5110XXDML1

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!
