[Q] Wi-Fi only xoom won't connect to wi-fi

Hello all-
For the past couple days my wi-fi only xoom will not connect to wi-fi. I have tried multiples networks and nothing. When I hit connect and type in my network key( i have double checked and made sure I was typing in the right key) it constantly switches between scanning and connecting. I am not or ever have been rooted, and I have tried a factory reset still nothing. I am on 3.1 which was updated OTA not pushed to my xoom. Please help. I know if anyone can its the folks here at XDA. Thanks in advance for your help.

First thing I would do is disable all security on the network and see if it connects then, if it does then its not a hardware issue.
Remember to turn all the security on though when your done

I gave it a shot and still nothing. I tried connecting to my MyTouch hotspot and at Starbucks as well. Do you think the xoom is broken. I used to be able to connect no problem. This just started happening the last few days. Thanks!

OK so what's changed in the last few days then, any updates or app installs that might have screwed something up....?
Have you switched the Xoom off and on again?
If all else fails do a backup and reset the device..
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App

Not much has changed. I haven't installed any new apps in a month or so. As soon as the problem started happening I uninstalled all apps I had installed since i bought it. After that didn't work I did a factory reset. I really appreciate all your help on this.

I know HTC have smartsync which turns wifi and data off if it is not used
this plays havoc with me at night between 12.00am and 07.00am.
Have a look at this

Doesn't that completely prevent your phone from going into deep sleep? Aka drain the battery ridiculously quickly.
I don't understand why HTC can't just get this right. I've never had any other phone that had trouble receiving notifications on Wi-Fi.

Same here. I tried every setting. Just have to restart my router every time before connecting. Annoying but working. And after the update the wifi signal is the worst. Much worst than before.

After updating to 4.04 I have the problem that connecting to my Wifi router is no problem, I get full signal (!), but actually using the network is nearly impossible! After using several apps and/or putting the phone in and out of flight mode, i sometimes regain a real connection, but in the morning or after returning home it's gone again...
The disconnecting in sleep mode and not always receiving messages I can live with, not being able to use Wifi at home and thus being forced to use 3G I can't. Anyone have similar problems and also know a solution? I'll try rebooting the router next time, could be a temporary workaround.

I have the same problem after the 4.0.4 update. Wifi signal is incredibly bad now when I previously did not have any issues.
Tried Best Wi-fi performance and its still not as good as the default settings on 4.0.3.
Anyone has any luck factory resetting their phone to restore Wi-fi functionality?

I have the same or similar issue.
My wifi disconnects every minute, even when the screen is on and when I'm using it. I got a replacement phone from T-Mobile and and replacement antenna cover from HTC but still have the same problem. My previous Nexus S and HD2 had no problems with this the wifi and the wifi disconnects on all networks I've tried so far so it doesn't seem like an issue with my router.
I tried a network monitoring app and the wifi disconnected over 350 times in 6 hours.
I am going to try this: http://www.androidcentral.com/how-work-around-wifi-disconnection-issues-htc-one-x-and-one-s

1. the router is fine, i have multiple tablets running on the wifi just fine. My brother didn't change any setting the tablet is just on stock the whole time LOL ( i know its gross but hey he likes it like that)
2, Yes going into settings and the pull down tab, none of them work when i press it on both the tab down and setting menu, it turns back off.
3. Its not rooted or anything. So i cannot really wipe the cache partition or download one via "wifi"

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

Android 5.0 WLAN Bug with PEAP/MASCHAPV2

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.
---------- Post added at 01:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 PM ----------
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.

WiFi "freeze"

Hi guys,
i'm writing here because i am experiencing a weird wifi problem.
Basically, at random moments while using the phone, wifi stops working.
The wifi icon still shows that i'm connected, but i cannot send nor receive any data.
To restore wifi functionality i must wait some time (20 to 30 seconds) or turn off and on the wifi.
I don't think it's an AP / Router issue cause it's the only device in my house that shows this problem.
I tried searching online but i couldn't find anything similar to my case.
Has this happened to anyone? There is someone who can help me solve this problem?
Thanks.

Try wipe saved WiFi. If still not work, try factory reset
