Hello!
Since I installed YOG4PAS1N0, I have an annoying problem with my wifi:
Whenever I turn wifi off, I'm not able to turn it on again. Tapping on it doesn't do anything. Entering and leaving airplane mode doesn't help either. The only way to turn on wifi is to reboot the phone. Then wifi is turned on when the phone started.
After installing YOG4PAS1N0 I didn't do anything. No app installed or any settings changed. Nothing.
Can anybody help me finding a solution please?
It happened to me just once: i switched my profile with one that turns wifi off, then turning it on again by any means would not start scanning for networks resulting in an empty list. A full reboot solved the problem, but now I can't seem to reproduce this issue. I rembember my headphones were plugged in but I can't see why that would interfere with wifi interface.
I don't use any profiles, though.
When I try to activate wifi and hit the wifi settings, my phone literally freezes for 10 seconds before I can use it again - with disabled wifi.

It seems like wifi on my phone just won't cooperate with me.
The problem's never the same but the general concept is the same. Either my wifi doesn't turn on, or it'll turn itself off after some time. Sometimes I turn on wifi in comm manager and I'll get the loading thing, but then it doesn't turn on.
Other times, it'll turn on only to be instantly turned off again.
Other times it'll turn on. I'll start surfing the web (or doing nothing for that matter) and it'll be turned off again!
Sometimes it'll turn on, work fine, and then I'd lock my phone and turn off the screen for a while. Afterwards, I turn on my phone again and it's turned off again. It was on before I turned off the screen (and it should stay on.. it did when I first got my phone).
I recently hard reset and flashed to Energy Rom, Mercury. The problem persists. I guess this means it's a hardware issue right? I've checked many settings (including all of the settings in advanced config) and it seems like wifi isn't acting as it should..
Anyone have any ideas?
hard reset, flash new radio/rom

thats not going to work he said that he just flashed the newest mercury rom and that means he has probably got a good radio too . unless its just the radio .
other than that i don't know what to tell you about wifi other than i don';t use it much .
the rom works fine and the radio doesn't affect wi-fi. there are some settings that disable wi-fi after a period of no use. it could be that. only reason that would occur while you're actually using it tho would be that it was using your data connection and not wi-fi the whole time so wi-fi stayed inactive and decided to shut off. check your wi-fi settings.
I made sure that I disabled data connections (since I don't have a data plan. I cannot connect to the internet if I do not have wifi on).
I'm pretty convinced this is a hardware issue.. Looking at my wifi settings, there's no reason why it should turn off, and the only thing I noticed was that in advanced config, it's set to disconnect wifi after 2 mins of inactivity. I often get disconnected from wifi like 4 seconds after turning it on (and often while I'm trying to load a page in opera too).
I tried to resolve this problem for quite a while without success . I connect to a WiFi without problems by pressing radio button or through settings. Also I can disconnect without problems. But there is this thing: I am connected at my home lets say on WiFi and I go without turning off my WIFI to another place lets say work, and my phone won't connect to that WIFI automatically (radio button for WiFi is turned on). So I need to turn the button off and turn it on again and then it will connect, or I just go to settings for WiFi and it will start scanning and connect to WiFi immediately.
More about this behavior: if I am connected to WiFi and go out of range and then in a range of another spot lets say in 10-20 minutes my phone will connect automatically. If its longer period maybe 20 minutes or more it wont connect automatically when I get into range. Also I dont think that has something to do with phone getting to deep sleep, because this morning I was walking to my home and listening music all the time and when I got home my phone didnt connect automatically. Nothing. It just seems it stops scanning, also when this happens I am not notified about open networks when I get in range.
My WiFi setting is always set on always connected and this happens even when I flash new stock ROM. While ago when I flashed version 2.3.4 this wasnt a problem, now even when I flash that one I have this same problem. I also tried few different stock ROMS without success.
I know this is not a big deal but it is irritating and I would like to fix this, so please help
Check your wifi sleep policy.
Press menu in wifi settings and set it to 'never'

Wifi sleep policy is set that way already
My rooted Nexus 5 ver4.4.3 suddenly has issue with wifi. In about 24 hr, wifi connection cannot be re-established. Even I turn off the wifi button in the setting I still see all the available wifi there. Close it and reopen the wifi setting, the wifi shows ON. It fails to connect any hotspot, encrypted or not. For any encrypted hotspot, it asks for password again and no password knows.
Only reboot correct the issue and I uninstalled several apps but condition remains.
will capturing bug report help? Should I wipe device clean? How can I do full application+data backup?
Hello everyone,
I recently encountered an issue with my Nexus 5 that has been driving me crazy for the past couple days.
So basically I was streaming a video on you tube the other night, until my Nexus 5 froze up. My phone was taking way too long to respond, so I decided to hold the power button until the device shut off, and I held the power button again to turn it back on. (duh) As soon as it turned back on, I was no longer able to connect to my home WIFI. So now whenever I try to connect to our home WiFi, I get an "authentication error" and the WiFi network status just comes up as 'saved" instead of "connected". My mobile Data works fine, it's just my WiFi that isn't working anymore. Did I accidentally fry a component within my Device that allowed me to connect to a WiFi network? If there is a fix to this, please let me know ASAP! :crying:
'forget' your wifi network and put in the password again; should fix it.
Do other devices still connect to the same WiFi network?
Rebooted the router?
As above, also forget the network and re-enter the password.
For completeness, test the Nexus on different WiFi networks as well.
Very last resort should be factory reset if you can't get it to connect. If it doesn't connect on fully stock unmodified software, then you have a hardware problem.
Hi all,
For the past few days, my Galaxy s6 WIFI got crazy.
When I switch it on, it scan for networks, find some and the network it knows and connect to it.
but than, it keep scanning all the time.
meaning, all other networks are gone and I can see only the network that it connected to, after 2-3 sec it start to scan again while still connected.
showing 2-3 networks around, and than stop scanning and all of the networks are gone again (except the one it connected to), and after 2-3 sec, all over again.
In addition, if I try to switch it off, it looks like I can't - it keeps start and stop scanning all the time in a loop. like on and off, on and off - and in addition its killing my battery.
The only thing I managed to do is, when I clicked to switch it off, a sec before it got crazy there was a line there so I clicked on it and turned off the option of
letting apps to search for WIFI automatically.
This solve the switch off and on issue - so when I switch to off, its stays off.
I don't know how to get back to this screen (of letting or not to apps to search for WIFI) tough.
The first problem that it keeps scanning when on even if connected to a network - still can't find a solution for it.
I found someone with the same issue on a local forum, he did a factory reset and couldn't located the problem.
Can someone advise?
Thanks.
