[Q]nexus 5 cant find wifi

Hey guys!
So I have a problem with my nexus 5.
Lately it seems as if it does not find "new" wifi connections... It connects to the one it already has saved.
If I click scan no wifi networks appear even though there are many(my pc and other phones get good signal)
I also get the notification saying "There are networks available" but when i touch it no networks appear...
Any ideas?
Cheers!
EDIT: I just tried adding the SSID and it connected fine and works great.... So the problem is the actual scanning...

You say that it happens "lately". So it worked previously? Anything change right before the problem arose? What is your phone's configuration, i.e., ROM, kernel, Xposed, runtime, etc. Have you rebooted the router? (I know, your other devices see all networks, but, what works for one may not for another)

I would suggest that the router you are connecting to is set to not broadcast the SId - simple (but not too effective) security measure.

Same problem here! I got my N5 yesterday and wifi was perfectly connecting to my router. The I unlocked the bootloader and root by using WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit and phone is not detecting anymore my wifi network. Phone wifi works since I see the others wifi around but not mine!:crying::crying:
I did the following but problem still present:
- powered off the router
- changed SSID on router setup
- removed security on router setup
- add manually the wifi into Nexus 5
I have no clue on what I can do more....pls help!
EDIT: solved: I noticed my router was set on specific channels for wifi, then I modified to AUTO

If i remember correctly, Nexus 5 version 4.4 had issues connecting to WIFI channel greater than 10.
I had this issue also.

[Q] Is Nexus 5 supports wifi roaming/ changing AP?

Hi,
like in subject is our N5 supporting wifi roaming/changing access point based on signal strength? I have two access points with the same SSID but on different channels. My laptop is switching between AP from upstairs and downstairs and iPhone 4S I had before N5 was switching too. Unfortunatly Nexus is not... Is it supported by our phone or not? Is it at all supported by Android OS?
BTW I wanted to ask another thing related with wifi. I changed wifi option "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" to "Never" but it's not turning off when I put my phone in to sleep. How long does it take to turn of wifi after locking phone? Could you check Is this option working for you guys?
Thanks for all answers, Zibiksior

Anyone?

hello and sorry to be late but i didn't actually had nothing to say but i'd had the same issue.
Yesterday frustrated by the roaming not working i tried to set wifi network frequency on n5 wifi advanced settings to 2.4ghz only and volià, wifi romaing seems to work correctly: as i change the room n5 suddenly changes ap without loosing connection.
can anyone confirm?

I will check it today at the evening and report back.
EDIT. Nope its's not working for me. @Riekr what Rom are you using?
Sent from awesome Nexus 5

Stock ROM, anyway I'll check further as it seems to switch from one ap to another but not vice versa. Please also check that all parameter are the same except the channels (as per specs) and that the channels does not overlap with WiFi analyser (to improve performance)

Yes I have the same configuration. The same ssid and pass in both AP's. Only chennels are different and not overlapping also. I'm using now purity rom with Linaro kernel.

Did you manage to fix this? I'm having the same issue.

That option does work and will switch over to your data connection when the phone is asleep. There is an option in the WiFi settings called "scanning always available" which will prevent the WiFi chip from ever truly disabling itself however.

From what I can tell my Nexus 5 changes fine, however I have only tested it on the same router.
I believe "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" to "Never" only turns the Wi-Fi off if there is not an active connection currently using data, otherwise things would get dropped packets, etc. Correct me if i am wrong though.

2.4ghz wifi networks not working

Hey guys,
Flashed stock 5.0 on my nexus 5 using TWRP.
After the device booted up, i noticed it could only connect to 5ghz wifi networks and not 2.4ghz.
Any ideas why this is occurring?
Cheers

Same here

Yeah strange. I'll try re-install the stock ROM and see if I notice anything different..

Yes, exactly the same problem here. Funny thing is that I can see the network, but can't connect.
EDIT: So it seems there are multiple issues, found some bug reports related to what I'm experiencing:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=78702
https://code.google.com/p/android-developer-preview/issues/detail?id=1548
https://code.google.com/p/android-developer-preview/issues/detail?id=1620

Oh ok, I can't even see them. Do you get an error, or the phone just refuses to connect with an error msg?

On WLAN Settings there is a Menu called Advanced
There you can select if 2,4 GHz, 5,0 Ghz or automatically both.
Maybe after putting automatically you see them both?
I seet the WLAN, can put password, but it tries to connect and then stops connecting and always tries to reconnect from time to time...

Thanks guys! I worked it out. My routers 2.4ghz band was on channel 13, I changed it to 7 and it showed up. Don't understand why it couldn't see it before, but now it works! Hooray! Cheers!
If you're having troubles guys, try to tweak the channel on your router

Confirmed this is the fix for some dumb ass reason Google cant see higher that 11 channels by the looks of it. File under Bug or Friday coding issue!

And what if your network at work has above 11?
Then you can't do sh**... Seriously Google

Yeah, WiFi in 5.0 is major screw up. There are at minimum 3 major issues:
- 2.4 GHz band channels above 11 unusable
- https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=78702 (or https://code.google.com/p/android-developer-preview/issues/detail?id=1548 reported on developer preview)
- https://code.google.com/p/android-developer-preview/issues/detail?id=1620
And then there was that excessive power consumption related one - supposedly responsible for the 5.0 release delay.

I think for solution you can wait for beta 4.
Currently only way to fix it as follow:
In your wifi settings, goto advance and select frequency band of your wifi as per your router.
By default it'll be automatic, change it to 2.4 or 5 GHz as per your router's frequency.

Question Anyone having s23+ wifi issues?

My galaxy s23+ is not connecting to my router's 5 ghz band.. tried every router. I noticed after i reseted the phone, it connects easily to my home wifi 5ghz band when i restart my phone. Then if i go outside and use another wifi then come home and try to connect the 5ghz band. It doesn't connect until i restart the phone. While phones from realme or redmi don't have any of this kind of problem. Its simply a wifi issue. Does anyone have a solution? Its frustrating to restart the phone everytime i come home. I even searched google but there are no fix.

Try putting it into airplane instead of a reboot, toggle off/on.
Clear system cache.

Don't go to the service centre. They are usually a bunch of jokers.
Have you tried 'Reset Network Settings'?

You might as well do a factory reset too if the network reset fails. The service center will do that anyway if set in for repairs...

I am seeing a similar problem. Sometimes my phone doesn't load anything. Turning off wifi and connecting again helps. Another thing I noticed is that when I switch rooms my older oneplus 8T would connect seamlessly to a strong wifi within the house. S23+ isn't doing that. Suddenly video will buffer and I see that it's connected to wifi that has low coverage in that room and then I have to turn off/on or manually connect to the correct wifi

You have to enable Intelligent WiFi to have the network switched automatically.
You have 2 WiFi at home?

'Intelligent WiFi' is already enabled. I have a wifi extender that has a different wifi name because I made a typo while setting it up. OP8T used to connect between the extender and the main wifi smoothly but with s23+ I have to intervene
