OK I got an old Skyrocket that I am using as a IP camera.
However the phone keeps dropping the signal with the comment: Authentication Error.
I have rebooted the device, turn off WiFi and turn it back on Forget the network and attempted to reconnect but it just throws up Authentication error.
Other devices can connect to the same AP and work fine. I use a WiFi Repeater because the north end of my house is a weak spot for WiFi coverage.
which rom. did u clear caches, reset etc.
if yes then a clean reinstall of whatever rom ur on seems the best solution

so still no go after reset. custom recovery?
suggest you use jellybean firmware.
install a custom recovery and use that for clearing caches/resetting when the need arises.

Hey guys,
I've noticed in the last few days that my Wi-Fi just doesn't work any more. It won't even allow me to turn it on. When I go to the settings, it shows the option to turn Wi-Fi on, but it is greyed out now. I don't know what happened.
I'm using CM10 nightlies. I usually flash the new one every night and that's when I noticed this start happening. Since it started, I have tried flashing back to some older ones, even doing the full factory resets and cache wipes. No luck. Even after doing a fresh wipe, when the phone starts the initial google set up, the LTE isnt even working. It takes a few minutes for LTE to finally turn on, but the Wi-Fi has yet to.
Any suggestions as to what I should do?
Thanks

I just tried this right before I read your message. I wiped and flashed CleanROM 5.0. Sure enough Wi-Fi was working, but then went back to the CM10 ROM and it appears to not be working again. I've been looking at the CM10 thread and nobody else seems to be having this problem.

This is one x section...
on my phone running cm10 10/12 wifi just stops working. can't turn it off and it won't scan properly for networks. i have to reboot. happens everytime. that's the only bug actually i found with 10/12.
Hi All,
need a bit of help as i am stuck and banging my head on the wall now... i was previously running cataclysm mod on my nexus 5 the Dec 5 variant and didnt upgrade to the later one... yesterday i unlocked the bootloader and then flashed stock rom the latest one available..
now the problem... for some freaking reason my N5 would not connect to my home wifi.. it would report as "wifi connection failure" though it has no problems connecting to the other wifi n/w( had a hotspot going with my nexus 6p and also connected to my neighbors wifi )
i did factory reset... and in the end flashed YAOSP rom my @Yank555 on my N5 just to see.. but now it wont even report as my wifi visible so that i could connect...
please help... i have tried changing the name of the wifi with no luck.. and also tried manual ip on the N5 with no luck..
thanks again
Rohit
which version on cataclysm were you running? If you were running 4.4 or 5.0 and updated to 6.0 with your latest update then it is possible there are files left behind from cataclysm. Simply try rebooting into recovery(even stock recovery if that's what you have) and try wiping the cache, and dalvik cache, and reboot. If this doesn't fix your issue, maybe try doing a completely fresh install.
To do this:
1.)unlock bootloader
2.)Download custom recovery img and fastboot flash recovery (nameofrecovery).zip
3.)Boot into your downloaded recovery and wipe all these partitions "/system, /data, /cache" then wipe dalvik.
4.)Reboot into download-mode to enter fastboot once again.
5.)Now reflash your stock img files you've downloaded from google.
Hopefully this should resolve your issue. Give me a thanks if this helped

Flash a custom recovery image so you can wipe all partitions that are included in the stock MM software. Look in your stock zip at all the fastboot img's then boot the phone into custom recovery (TWRP preferred) and wipe all partitions that are included with your stock zip. Then fastboot reflash all stock img's

Before investing money in new equipment try contacting your ISP. Tell them about the problem. If the problem is hardware based, there are numerous possibilities to fix the problem.

Try power cycling the modem. Unplug from wall for 30 seconds and then plug it in and wait for it to refresh(all the lights to light up like normal)

No problem! As a last resort just call your ISP. Comcast or whatever. They can work everything out for you over the phone.
You should have a go at enabling the old DHCP client in developer settings (see screenshot below). Could just be the new DHCP client messing with you.
As for my ROM, on HH/shamu you should be able to use ANY channel worldwide (so I see no reason for it not to see the network).
But on stock ROM (or ROMs unmodded in that regard) channels are restriced (2.4GHz channels above 11 or 5GHz DFS channels won't be usable).

Yesterday Wi-Fi works fine, but today it doesn't work.
I've always the "Turning Wi-Fi on..." message.
I had Puxe Nexus Rom, but then I've tried with stock rom and with a Nougat rom, but the problem persist.
I've do a lot of factory reset and try some tricks...
The only thing that happened:
I'm from Italy, this morning there was earthwake and in my town there was a tiny shock but it does not make sense that wifi no longer works...
Someone can help me?

I've installed multirom to try more rom.
I've installed Nougat as secondary, boot it, Wi-Fi works.
Reboot, Wi-Fi doesn't work.
Flash your .zip, nothing.
Re-install Nougat as secondary, boot it, Wi-Fi doesn't works yet. Do a dirty flash, nothing.
Install Nougat and flash open-gapps, Wi-Fi doesn't work. Flash your zip, same problem.
Before I've tried also with stock, using Nexus Root Toolkit and I've yet problem...
Only sometimes, when I flash a ROM, Wi-Fi works and it have a normal MAC address. When it doesn't work, it have 02:00:00:00:00:00.
EDIT: same problem with CyanogenMod.

You would have tried flashing the same custom ROM again and try flashing the Gapps this might have solved the issues
The problem appeared after upgrade to nougat. I tried factory reset, it was ok for the first hours and now, the problem returned.
Anyone facing the same problems?
Phone not rooted, running on official rom and problems occurs even in safe mode....

Hi
How did you upgrade?
OTA , flashing??
If OTA did you upgrade al your apps , maybe one of them is making trouble
If flashing , how? and also did you upgrade your apps
Hey, thanks for the answer. It was OTA. I suppose all apps are up to date since I restored to factory settings and re-installed them.
The problem is still there even in safe mode...

Hi
yeah is odd , i would think it has to be app related .....
When you get the error ..after you introduce the password? what about if you ask your phone to forget your old connection , it allows you to connect to the new one then?
I would try to wipe dalvik and cache from recovery and /or reflash stock rom again..maybe something went wrong at least the modem

I tried to wipe the cache with no success. I am on a trip right now, and I cannot wipe the dalvik for the moment.
I figured out a walkthrough though using a third party app called "WIFI manager". I even managed to install a certificate and use it for a connection to an "eduroam" network...

I did experience a similar problem a few months back when I was playing around with a Custom ROM. Although my Wifi appeared to be Flipflopping, that wasn't actually the case. It wasn't holding on to my Wifi network; it used to connect and disconnect from the network while the actual Wifi on my Phone stayed on all the time. I did a clean install using Odin, rooted again and installed the same ROM, and it was fine. A Nand Backup always helps, incase you need it.

Follow the Good Old method..Flash Stock ROM using Odin, do a clean installation and then try installing the ROM you are using, take a backup of your Apps/Data ,use TB.

I am suggesting you return to stock ROM. No TWRP no custom anything. Factory Samsung firmware from sammobile that you flashed via odin.. smart switch may work too. It restored my s6 edge
