Just rooted my gs2 and everything works great except my wi-fi. It scans for about 10 seconds and then it turns the wi-fi off by itself. Any suggestions?

I have a rooted Nexus5 which aint running any custom rom. I have noticed that my wifi drops . the icon shows active on the status bar but there is no data transfer.
i thought it could be one of the xposed modules which might be interfering so i unrooted my phone and put it back to stock. The wifi signals were fine for a day or so and i am now facing the same problem again.
I downloaded the Wifi Analyser app from the play store to check if there is any interference from other routers in the vicinity. I have changed the channels multiple times but to no avail. At the same time my laptop & desktop connects fine to the router.
I am currently running stock 4.4.2 build # KOT49H

Try an app called "Root- Push Notifications Fixer". There are two versions one that requires a rooted device and one that does not I use the rooted one and off hand cannot remember the difference. Below is the playstore link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andqlimax.pushfixer&hl=en
This app resolved a WiFi issue I was having. I originally blamed my router/device but it was neither. I use it on both my Nexus 5 and 10. Read the app description for the issue it addresses.
Good luck.

I had something similar on my Nexus 5. The wifi speed would drop dramatically at random and it looked like web pages had stopped loading. My connection is 25Mb but the N5 would drop to 1-2Mb. I'd then have to turn wifi off and on to get the speed back up.
After searching around for the same issue a few people suggested turning off mobile data while using wifi. After doing this the speed has never dropped. I've since set up a Tasker profile to turn mobile data off when connected to wifi and back on when wifi is out of range/off.
Might be worth a try.
Its helping mate . will try it for a day or two to see how it works .

Me, I've tried everything and nothing helped at all. App Wi-Fi Analyzer tells me no signal. Tried a few kernels also. Waiting for rc of cyanogenmod to see if anything will change.

guys , looks like i have finally sorted the problem. I called my ISP and he suggested that it could be a looping issue with the router. He advised a hard reset which i have done now. i can now connect to wifi with my phones
sometime my Wi-Fi lost data even the connection is still on. I'm using Franco kernel r32. I don't know how to fix it. Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

I know I'm jumping the gun here. Because neither the download booster or the hotspot mod have been made for the galaxy S5 yet.
But I was wondering if this possibility is far fetched?? I do a lot of traveling and sometimes hotel wifi will not cut it.

Now that we have a working native hotspot thanks to miked63017. My original question was, is there a possibility to combined WiFi and LTE using the download booster to create an super fast hotspot connection?

I am far from an expert but I don't think the wifi could operate in AP mode and stil connect to another AP for extra d/l speed.

The reason I thought this would be possible was because of the MiMo(multi-input multi-output) capabilities of the S5. I know there are things that would pose an issue like not being able to be connected to WiFi while creating a hotspot.
But that's what the muti input side is for, taking in WiFi and LTE. It almost makes since to be able to send that combination speed out as hotspot.

It would be more like one ap with two aggregated backbone connections. Possible, yes. Doable on the phone, don't know but if the S5 still turns off wifi when you turn on hotshot that would be the trick.

So MiMo would theoretically allow the wifi chip to setup an AP and also be connected to seperate AP, and 3g/4g, to aggregate data? That would be awesome. I have tried bridging two wifi networks with one wifi card on desktops but have never been able to get more than one connection per wifi chip. Where AP mode would be its own connection.
:fingers crossed: maybe we can...

In theory I believe it should work. I could swear, I am 99% sure of this, that way back in the day you could wifi tether to your phone while it was connected to wifi. Might have been the S1 or S2. I am positive that worked because I remember testing the hotspot once and getting some crazy download speeds. This was when I only had 3G and could barely get 300k. And I was freaking out trying to figure out how it was going so fast. Then I realized the phone was connected to wifi:silly: So MiMo isn't needed for one singular stream. It's basically just doing incoming and outgoing traffic on the same feed. But adding in the LTE should work on MiMo. If LTE had it's own card, does it?, you shouldn't need MiMo either. You would just have to first get the aggregation working which I think somebody got it enabled right? And then disable the wifi from shutting off during hotspot. After that it would work without anything special.
Just wanted to give this thread a bump.
Has anyone heard anything about this idea working?
Hey guys and gals. Is anyone else having problems with their WiFi not connecting to certain networks after the 4.4.4 update? My phone will connect to my home WiFi with no problem..but won't connect to any other WiFi source. Any ideas??

No issues here. Connects at home, work and wifi at other people's houses.

Have you tried changing your wifi frequency on your phone?
Yep..it works fine at my house which is a 5gjz wifi network. But won't connect to anything else. Not even the mobile hotspot on my S5
Edit: changed the frequency band on my galaxy s5 mobile hotspot to 5ghz and now my Droid connects to it. It seems the phone will no longer connect to any 2.4 GHz networks

I have this issue with 4.4.2. Its been happening to me for awhile. I recently wiped my phone and started over and thought it was fixed but it can back last night.

Solo...Verizon sent me a replacement device..and lo and behold..I'm having the exact same issue. I can not connect to any 2.4Ghz WiFi networks. I'm at a total loss as to how to fix this. Verizon replaced the phone with no argument.. Yet my replacement does exactly the same things.

Go to Settings > WiFI and press the menu icon, choose Advanced > WiFi Frequency Band. Ensure this setting is "Auto"
It is.
P.s. all of a sudden after a few reboots seems to be working.

Now it stopped again...and won't connect to any 2.4ghz wifi again... sooo frustrating. It clearly has to be a bug in 4.4.4

Could it be your wifi router is going bad? are you having this problem connecting to networks other than your home network?
Yes. Nothing that runs on 2.4ghz. At my work that's all we have. At home on 5ghz works perfect. Router is dual band..and my S5 connects fine. Also when I turn on my S 5 mobile hotspot and set it to 2.4 gigahertz that doesn't work either

Given that no one else (from what I saw here) can recreate, I would say it isn't software but hardware. CLNR devices do have issues. Call Verizon again and see what they say
I've contacted both Moto and Verizon. Verizon is sending me another replacement. Hopefully this one works better than the one I have in my hand at the moment. The strange thing is that the phone I had before this one was fine before 4.4.4. Sooo idk. If I don't have any luck with this next replacement then I will call Moto and have them send me a replacement.
Edit: its a shame too..cause this phone is ridiculously smooth

UPDATE!!!: Soooo after 2 hrs in Verizon...an hour on the phone with customer service..and and hour on the phone with Moto tech support..a chance call from my Motorola rep and she fixed my phone in 2 seconds. Apparently..there is a glitch in 4.4.4 that prevents the lower frequency wifi from working with Bluetooth. Turning off Bluetooth and a quick reboot and WiFi is perfect!!

I was wondering if anyone got bluetooth tethering to work? I have a nexus 7, and turned on bluetooth tethering on my phone, and paired with the nexus 7, set to use for internet access, but, it just keeps telling me I'm offline, even though I'm connected. anyone have similar experiences or have any solutions?
Use Foxfi. It worked for me but the speeds topped out at 2.5 mb.

I just tried FoxFi. Using wifi hotspot says that I am not subscribed to the service, and using the bluetooth tether in foxfi won't let me use it for internet access on the paired device.
Sorry I misread that. I had trouble with Bluetooth to my tablet also. It did work to my laptop though.
