[Q] Wi-Fi issue on 5.1 stock - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have a big issue on my Nexus 5 runnig L 5.1. Basically, I made some mistakes flashing various rom/kernels so I had to wipe evrything and flash the stock rom in order to fix it. Evrithing went fine, but now my wi-fi doesn't seem to work. I can't see any wifi network.
I have unlocked bootloader with the latest twrp. Hope you can help me solve my usse. Thanks in advance!

Turns out it wasn't the issue, but I managed to fix it. Basically the 5.1 hates wi-fi on channel 12 or 13, so I fixed it changing my router's channel from 12 to 10. So I leave this post here, just in case somone alse has some issue. You may close.

Wifi Doesnt Show any available connection

hi,
I have a nexus 5 with lollipop 5.0.1, xposed (gravity box, amplify and greenify activated) and franco kernel.
My problem is that in the wifi settings i dont see any wifi available, my phone just connects to the few wify that i had already saved.
I donwload a third party app (wifi manager) and from the app i can see every connection available near me, so the problem must be rom related, not hardware related.
I tried flashing system and boot from 5.0 image, but that didnt solve the problem (i tought that going back to stock kernel and deactivating xposed would have helped). So i tried to flash 5.1 (i'm actually still with 5.0.1 because i want to use xposed), i flashed boot system radio and bootloader and that solved the problem, without wiping any data or app.
Since that solved the problem i thought that maybe bootloader or radio had something to do with it, ann i flashed again 5.0.1 with the new bootloader and the new radio but the bug was still there, nothing changed.
Is this a common bug?i searched in the forum and trough google but i couldnt find anyone with my exact problem, do you think you can help me?
If you need any log i'll post it here, just tell me what you need!
Thanks in advamce

Anyone?
Bump! I still have this problem

Hot Spot Issue - Continued

Hello everyone sorry for this new thread and but I wanted to make sure I give more information on a fresh thread so I can hopefully fix this issue.
The issue I'm having is: When Hotspot is enabled on my Mate 8 Device, the 4G connection does not work on the device itself. However, anyone connected to the hotspot that I enabled has internet access via my Mate 8. Both cannot work simultaneously, only one or the other. This started 3 days ago.
What I did to perhaps cause the issue:
I rooted the factory ROM and changed something with the "Disable Service" app. I diabled the FusedLocation service. I rebooted then it was stuck on bootloop
I proceeded to wipe the phone on TWRP and installed a B180 ROM(Basic, stock international room - rooted) - Problem with Wifi Hotspot persists.
I thought it was the ROM's issue so I upgraded to B320 OEM ROM via 'dload' method - Problem Persists
Installed TWRP 3.0.2 and flashed another L29 B3xx ROM - Problem persists.
every time I installed a new ROM I wiped everything off the phone before I did so.
I'm absolutely stumped.
Please see the image i attached to my findings on my phone.
As you can see when Hot Spot is on, the 4G is "disconnected" and does not get an IP address.

Any help is greatly appreciated again. Thank you for your time!

Hi, I have the exact same issue, I am using a completely stock phone, with stock recovery and not rooted.
Have you found a fix to this problem?
Thanks.

I really need help! (wifi issue/downgrade issue)

Hi everyone
Please help me out!
So I had a weird issue with my hw2 that it couldnt find any wifi network right after pairing to a phone
But for some reason after I updated my watch to android 8, this issue was fixed and I could use wifi...
But I had to factory reset the watch because I also flashed official oreo on my phone, and after factory reset the wifi issue came back!
So I want to know if there is a way to downgrade my watch to 7.1.1 and upgrade it again and hope that wifi would work!
And also is there anyway to flash custom rom over bluetooth?(cause there is no wifi)
Really need help working this out and unfortunately Im not a developer to see if I can read any logs or anything...

hello, very strange your problem, you should try to ask in the ROM section, maybe someone will deal with your problem, sure it is not a hardware problem?

MAC Address 02:00:00:00:00:00

After updated to Lineage 17.1 i am facing problems with Wifi. In Lineage 17.1 everything works fine (except wifi-calling and volte). When flashing back to Stock (via Oreo-RUU or TWRP Restore) i don't get any wifi-connection. If turning on wifi, system turns off immediately. In settings I found, that mac address is 02:00:00:00:00:00... searching this problem, i found out, that this problem happened often via update from android 5 -> 6. Flashing Stock ROMs didn't help, restore of prior LeeDroid Backup neither.
Did anybody face this problem in former times? Does anybody know where MAC is stored / what the problem may be?

I am experiencing the exact same issue. Same MAC address, same wifi issue. I tried flashing to stock Oreo, same issue. I'm going to try flashing stock Nougat, but I have doubts about that working. I also tried clean flashing the RR-P 7.0.2 ROM, and the same issue happens there too. I could not fin a way to restore the MAC address. I was able to look up the original address from my router's device log . . .
My HTC is the US T-Mobile version. @Golv can you help us with this new issue?
-UPDATE-
So far, going to stock Nougat INSTANTLY works. Right on the setup menus, all the wifi networks show up. Odd how stock Oreo gave us issues, but Nougat didn't. Will be going to RR-P 7.0.2 and seeing if the fix sticks I removed the SIM card when I put the phone back to Nouagt BTW if that affects anything.
-UPDATE 2-
Flashed stock Oreo after flashing Nougat, and in the setup menus, the wifi networks are showing up in STOCK OREO. Still with SIM removed. Now to flash the RR-P rom and see if I'm all set.
-FINAL UPDATE-
Flashed RR-P 7.0.2. Everything is back to normal.

Thank you very much! I checked whether the sim card has an effect, removed it and flashed Stock Oreo -> problem still exists. Then i flashed Nougat an experienced the same effect: Wifi worked right on the setup menu.
@Golv do you have any idea why this happens? I think, this problem should affect anybody, who wants to go back to prior versions.

I believe it is related to the hosd_signed.img file that likely writes over the persist partition. By downgrading, we are overwriting the hosd and the nougat ruu then formats and rewrites a new MAC address. It was interesting to see this happening, but I'm glad I found a workaround.
Sorry for the delay in reply. For some reason notifications stopped coming to me ...
Most likely you should change Mac address setting from random to device’s Mac address before switching to stock (Settings - Network - Wifi - Network details - Advanced - Privacy - USE DEVICE MAC).

10.3.4 WiFi and 5g connectivity issues

Hi guys,
I've been having a WiFi and 5g issue since upgrading to android 10. My WiFi disconnects and reconnects randomly, and this is not an issue with my router. If I turn off WiFi, my 5g does something similar. It disconnects and reconnects.
I do have magisk installed but no modules currently.
Any help would be appreciated.
Are you using the stock kernel?
Yes I am using stock kernel. Also to clarify I'm on oos 10.3.4
Im considering downgrading to 9.x.x because it so bad at the moment
Hi,
I'm having similar issues and considering going back to 9.x also.
Have you done it or managed to fix it otherwise?
I am currently full stock 10.3.4 after a full factory reset and still the same issue. (which happened also on lineageOS 17.1 so is it possibly a modem firmware issue?)
