I'm using a nexus 5, running stock rom and Franco kernel. I've noticed that my phone just doesn't seem to find wifi networks. It automatically connects to few known networks, but when I try to connect to new networks, my phone refuses to find the network. I know the network is discoverable since my laptop and other devices connect to it. Is there anything I could do to prevent it from happening?? I tried wiping cache but nothing happened.

Try flashing the stock kernel (boot.img) in fastboot and see if it works then or reboot the modem/router first. If it does its probably a kernel issue. Have you looked in the Franco kernel thread if other users have the wifi issue too.
I tried using the stock kernel, the situation remained the same. Shall I re flash stock (factory reset) and try again??

i am running AOSP EB v4.0.4 latest build. when i flashed v4 last month i started having this strange problem whenever i turn wifi on. the wifi appears to complete the connection then immediately drops it and retries the connection.
i thought it was the old baseband (since the installer offers support for both old and new BB's) so i upgraded to the march 2012 BB tonight and reflashed from scratch...same problem. i checked but there are no new software updates for my router so i'm ruling that out.
any ideas? considering my phone is literally empty of all files i cannot see what the difficulty may be.

I don't clearly understand what ur saying, does your connection only drop when u turn ur wifi on? Or does it randomlly disconnect sometimes and ur talking about ur data connection right not ur wifi connection?

when i turn on wifi, select my router and enter passcode it starts thisloop. i can see it go through all the init steps of establishing a connection. once it is done literally the next step is to start the whole process over again reconnecting from scratch to the router.

Have you tried a different router? I have a belkin and that thing is a pos, constantly giving me problems
Also, if your router doesn't have wpa (or some form of authentication) then enable it and try again. Sometimes that's helped me

you dont have to clear everything twice only the once when u flash your rom, and then go straight to flashing gapps. that shouldnt affect the problem your having but try flashing another rom and then EB AOSP again and see if it works i know that EB doesnt have wifi problems cause i used it before.
Might be nothing more than a weak wifi signal or a confused router. Occasionally get this behavior on my stock g2x with all updates. Try logging on from a location closer to the router. Unplugging the router to let it reboot also sometimes solves the problem.

This problem first happened upon upgrading to the Revolver 4.2.0 build, but I've had issue with AOKP as well so I'm posting here instead of one of the rom specific threads.
The issue is that my wifi refuses to turn on. When I switch on the wifi toggle, the button greys out and it gets stuck on "Turning Wi-Fi on..."
I've tried via CWM to delete the Dalvik, Cache, Factory wipe, reinstall roms, but nothing worked.
In the advanced tab it also shows that the Mac Address and IP Address is unavailable.
Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

It looks like a WiFi driver issue, install a custom kernel n try as suggested in above comment..

Humm, might not be the (only) problem.
I've tried using 3 other different kernels and none worked to fix it. I've cleared both caches and even reinstalled the rom for the kernel installs.
Not sure, but my CWM also suffers from the loop issue, though haven't bothered fixing it since I wanted to fix this wifi issue first.

Try going back to stock(unrooting) by using easy flash... if WiFi works fine with stock ROM then its just a matter or installing again...

So, after I flashed Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 for my Tab 2, it cannot connect to my wifi. I flashed it with the proper procedures, like wiping Data and Dalvik cache, I've installed the Nightly builds to try to eliminate the problem and they kept crashing, so I reverted back to 10.1.3 and still no connection. I've reset my router and made sure that my password was right. Now I have no clue what to do next
Forgive me if this is in the wrong place, I've just signed up today.

Have you tried other ROMs? I've never had any problems connecting to WiFi networks on my p3100 running CM11. I have that issue too on my Ideos X6 phone, but only sometimes, which I think is caused by cheap hardware anyway.

Charge your tab to aprox 70% or more and Try this:
1-download a STOCK firmware file from the internet for your region( the region thing is not necessary, but just for the sake of it )
2- boot into recovery
3- wipe data/flactory reset
4- wipe cache
5-wipe dalvik
6-format /system
7- boot into download mode and flash the STOCK firmware file using ODIN.
i am assuming you have used ODIN before in this case... if you have not, then:
1-download ODIN ( http://samsung-updates.com/Odin307.zip )
2-make sure you have the correct drivers installed
3-connect the device ( in the text box, it should say added)
4- click on the pda option and select the firmware file ( make sure ONLY auto reboot and F.reset time are checked )
5- click on START button to flash the file.

I don't think its a ROM related issue. There must be some issue with your router itself... try resetting your router and change WPA/WPA2 password once...and reconnect again with new password. give me a feedback so that i can help you further.

I reset my router, disabled TKIP encryption and disabled the MAC filter. I live in a house with 5 people so i don't think they would be happy with me doing anything else with the router. I'll try again at my friend's place and see if i can connect to his WEP connection.

I don't think you would be able to connect to WEP networks..as android versions >2.3.7 does not have access to those networks by default....but you can give that a shot.

It came in a apk that i moved to my tablet to install. Still doesn't work.
I'm losing hope.
I am having the same issue for about a week now. It does not appear to be router related, or software related either.
We have two P3113 tablets in the house, and when mine went wonky - set my daughter's with same software and her's connects without issue.
Rooted, not rooted, stock recovery or custom. Stock software from 4.0.4 to 4.2.2 and custom ROM's as well. Currently running CM 11 on both. One connects while the other does not
I think it may be hardware related

Your problem might be related to duplicated mac addreses. Could you check if both tabs have different mac addresses.
This also counts for all others, check if there are no other devices with the same mac.
When I was building CM for both my Xperia L & Tab, they both got the same mac address because they where build on tbe same host.

Mac addresses are different. There is an issue with the IP address on the one that does not connect. It is blank by default, and manually inputting the address does not help

This morning, when starting my commute to work, I noticed that the S5 wasn't connecting to my BT car stereo. I checked the phone and BT was off. I tapped the icon and it did the slight dimming for a few seconds and then went back to the off state. I opened up BT settings and tapped the slider to turn it on, got the message "Turning on bluetooth", but again, after a few seconds, it returned to the off position.
I'm running the stock ROM, rooted with the hotspot mod, and the restart menu mod.
I tried restarting, powering off and removing battery and restarting, restarting and hitting the BT settings as quickly as possible, but it still will not work. Permissions on /system/vendor/lib/libbt-vendor.so are rw-r--r--, so I don't think it has anything to do with permissions.
I read a thread regarding a different phone and ROM having this problem and they fixed it by flashing a different kernel. Any ideas before I take this route?
EDIT: Just to be sure, I rebooted into recovery and ran fix permissions. No change.
Does anyone have the stock kernel that I can try to flash or Odin? Thought I might give this a try before going with a modded kernel.
Thanks
As much as I hated to do it, a factory reset fixed the problem. Still don't know what actually caused the problem.

Are you going to reflash the mods you were using to see if the problem was the same? Also, you might be able to just make a backup of your system/data/recovery and flash it over so you don't have to factory reset.

I tried the backup, but it brought the problem back as well. Not sure if it was something in the system or days our apps. Still need to do some forensics.
If you flashed off of an SD card, sometimes you can get subtle corruptions? I thought I saw something about it before..

I'm assuming your stock unrooted? How did you update? ota? Fastboot? Does it do it for all WiFi or just one? You can try forgetting the network and reconnecting and make sure your WiFi connection is good. Is it doing it on any other devices? You can flash factory images and have a fresh install.
Think it's a Lollipop bug.
