When the WiFi is turned ON, As we all know the device will constantly search for wifi networks around it, but the problem is whenever it detects an open wifi network (which requires a sign in via browser) it will immediately go into a bootloop and you will NOT be able to fix it with anything other than going outside that particular WiFi range and force your phone to turn OFF, then restart it again, (remove all cables). and it will clear the Cache since it rearranged the whole icons.
So this happened to me in the Airport and i had to go to an Elevator (Lift) in order to disconnect the phone from the WiFi range (since a metal room isolates all the wireless networks) and i restarted my phone there.
So updating to Android 5.1.1 will NOT fix this bug, and i have to turn OFF wifi before going outside my house, because even when i am driving my car my phone will get into bootloop because somewhere on the road there was an open WiFi network (with browser sign in) and even .1 second is enough for my phone to bootloop.
If anyone knows a fix please discuss it, FYI my phone is NOT rooted and NOT altered in any way, its stock.
Hi had the same problem. This has to do with your phone having a "null" wifi access point saved. This access point needs to be removed.
Quick fix is doing a factory reset and setup your phone as a new device. If you setup your phone with a google backup you will get the corrupt wifi access point in your phone again and the boot loop will start again when you enable your wifi.

I just upgraded my Droid X to Liquid 3.2 (full SBF to 602, ota'd to 605, rooted, then flash to Liquid). I love the ROM, but it appears that my wifi and GPS are now broken. Wifi tries to turn on but then turns back off after a second or two; GPS won't even attempt to come on. Anyone know a fix for this?
Edit: I rebooted into recovery, wiped cache and Dalvik cache, and tried again. Now the GPS appears to be working, and the wifi stays on. However, when I try to connect to my home network, it drops off after a second or two (once it connects, it keeps scanning, and then it disconnects). I logged into my router and saw that my phone was briefly hitting it, but all the router log showed was the transfer of an IP address, nothing useful for troubleshooting. Does anyone know of a log file on the phone somewhere that might indicate why it keeps dropping off of my wireless network (yes, I've double checked the password, and yes, the wireless network is functional right now).
I'm out of guesses at this point, so I'm hoping someone else can help me out.
Hm. It gets curiouser and curiouser...
I've been tinkering throughout the day, and if there is any generalization I can make, it's that between wifi, GPS, and airplane mode, one of them (occasionally two, but never all three) will work at any given time, but every time I reboot a different combination starts working. Go figure.
Help anyone?
you got same problem i got. let me know what you figure out. I will post if i figure it out
I could not figure out wifi, so I went to vortex. I like the liquid but the wifi is a big problem and I did not have a lot of time to mess with it right now. I may by another droid x just to mess with things of this nature. If anyone comes up with wifi solution please post.
So, before rooting, my One X had great Wifi connection. No issues. Now that I'm rooted, I can't connect to wifi to save my life. I tried the wifi fix (not the ROM, but the 3 files instead) and still nothing.
I've tried turning off Mobile Network while wifi was on, turning mobile network on while wifi was on, tried restarting the wifi....
I cannot get a connection to the Store, browsers won't open webpages, it's essentially done for. Yet every other device in my house can access the router just fine (and it's not just here, it's elsewhere.)
Anyone have any ideas how to fix this short of flashing the new ROM (which I can't do from my house since the HTC drivers always fail to install.)
Have you tried running fix permissions to see if there's some sort of error holding things up? The only other thing I could think to do is to do a factory restore of the phone, unfortunately...
Having an issue with my phone, its been a bug for a bit. I do admit I should ODIN to stock, but before I spend a 1/2 day resetting and restoring my phone figured I would post here.
Symptoms:
Lost ability to Auto connect or connect to WiFi. I must reboot whenever I connect to a new signal.
EXAMPLE:
I Leave my house in the morning, WiFi is on & connected to my home network. I arrive at school, I must reboot in order to connect to the WiFi. All of the connections show from my house, it does not auto scan nor show any current connections
I have tried programs from the market nothing will refresh the networks.
Any suggestions, or should I ODIN see if that helps if not warranty my phone?
Running KitKang now, but seemed to have happened somewhere when upgrading throughout 4.3.1
Downloaded a program off the market FXR WiFi and problem is solved.
The phone constantly resets when trying to connect to unknown networks that require a password. It took me ages to figure out what was causing it and it's a real pain. You could just be walking down the street and it'll try to connect to a WiFi network that will kick off this constant resetting. You have about a second to turn WiFi off, before the process starts again.
Anyone have any ideas on a fix? I mention EE as they have their own software variant that enables WiFi calling in the UK, not sure if that's relevant?
Whilst I mention WiFi calling, that's pretty rubbish too, constant interference on my end only - didn't get it with iPhone 6?
Thanks in advance....
Flash with stock 5.1.1 ROM via odin.
So, I bought a cheap "4k action camera" to play around with. It has wifi, and I was working on getting it connected to my phone .
While doing so, the wifi on my phone sort of.. hung. I couldnt switch to my usual wifi network, it was just sit and spin, eventually wifi stopped showing my networks altogether. If i open ip the wifi settings, the indicator just spins, i cant turn off wifi, and no networks are listed. After doing so, I cant even shut down my phone without holding the power button for 10 seconds.
I'm just trying to get this cleared up, anyone have any suggestions? I have my phone connected via ADB, but it's stock, no mods, no root. I've considered a factory reset, but I'd like to avoid that if I can.
Thanks!
Well. After a few hours of fighting with this, I ended up unlocking (which of course wiped my phone). This way I'm free to root or flash in the future without that being a barrier again. The wipe, of course, resolved my problem.
I'm trying to decide if I want to jump straight to a custom ROM now or not, before I get too deep into getting my phone set back up. Any suggestions?
Thanks for reading!
