[Q] Unable to turn on wifi - it says turning on and does nothing

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,
PRASHANT GAJJAR

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

Hello guys, my brothers tablet seems to have a problem. It cannot connect to the wifi literally. He factory reset the whole thing , and its stocked. But it just randomly happen yesterday when he was playing castle crasher, my tablet seems to be working fine on the router. But the problem is that when i press the button to turn on the wifi, it won't even turn on. It will still disconnect the button. So he cannot even access any wifi or anything. I tried looking around google to find the answer but it seems to be not a problem. My brother hasn't drop his tablet or anything.

wiping cache doesnot need rooting you can do that even when your phone is not rooted

[Q] Stuck on WiFi Turning on
Hello,
I've seen this issue with various phones and various fixes... But I don't want to Hi-Jack anyone or anything. Anyway, I tried the dev build of "L" at one point... and my WiFi randomly stopped working. I thought "welp, it's a dev build... not gonna sweat it" and went back to stock 4.4.4... flashed back to factory, no dice. It seemed to turn on long enough during the setup process to "connect" but it disappeared when I rebooted to go to ART. Thought, welp, no experimental anything. Flashed back to factory, no WiFi. Not even during setup. Tried the various things I've seen around... obviously various factory resets, tried rooting and renaming wpa_supplicant.conf, flashed paranoid android because someone said that's the only thing that worked... it didn't. I do notice the kernel seems to be the same for PA and 4.4.4, so I could try another kernel, but have no idea which to try. After I put TWRP on, I cleared every cache, etc I could. Flashed back to stock after clearing system and no dice, tried running wifi fixer, tried installing macman... nothing. I did see someone say if the phone gets too hot, the WiFi chipset can come off, but the WiFi chip-set is the same as Bluetooth, and that's having no problems. I appreciate any suggestions, I really want this to work out. Otherwise I have a year with a phone with no WiFi... To kind of clarify (re-reading, I see I wasn't too clear about the actual problem), the WiFi toggle switch is set to "Off" and where your networks would display it shows "Turning on WiFi". This isn't just one network acting up, and this has been going on for a couple of weeks.
Edited to add: when I unlocked the bootloader today, the setup process showed me my networks but settings froze when I put the password in... so the hardware seems to be connected...

[Q] "Turning on Wifi" and stucks.... ?

Hi Team,
I bought Huawei Honor 6 yesterday and whenever I am trying to switch on wifi, it says "Turning wifi on" and it get stucks and never actually turns on. Have tried rebooting several times. Reset to factory settings as well but all in vain. Please help. Really disappointed as it was a brand new set. Just FYi, wifi did work for couple of hours.
How to get this fixed?

Well, it seems to be a hardare problem, if the reset didn't help. I think you should return it.

Nexus 5 WiFi Crashing Phone

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!
