Hello all,
I am having a REALLY annoying issue on my Z5. The WiFi on the phone will not turn on. I press the toggle from the quick settings in the notification panel and nothing happens. I go into the settings to turn it on and it just says 'Turning on...' forever. I am on 6.0.1 and firmware 32.2.A.0.305. I am having this problem without root on a clean system and I am also having the problem with root and Androplus kernel. Also happening with stock kernel aswell. I have attached a zip file with a video of the problem (ignore the date of the video. I have had the problem for months and have been trying to fix it.)
Any help?
Thanks!
Sometime I have this issue, too. After a reboot everything works fine.

For some reason wifi will not turn on anymore... also the icon under settings/connections is gone...
just reflashed to stock rom to see if that was the issue but no luck..
any help would be great!
Okaaaay... I am going to share my story because it ended up fixing my WiFi issue and I have read some similar issues. So after being rooted on 4.2 I broke it with the OTA 4.3 I wanted to check it out. I then used chainfire to root again. I blacked out hangouts, I installed 4.4 launcher, and xposed framework with 3 modules. I noticed that when I toggled my WiFi on it would hang, it would get stuck on "turning on...:" sometimes it would turn on, and I would enter my password, then it would hang right after I pressed connect then eventually it connected. If I restarted my phone, turned off the WiFi or left the area.. I would go through the same issues. When I pressed the toggle it would not show up as green to display on or grey to display off. It was a dark green trying to turn on.
My recovery is TWRP. This is what I did to try and solve it. I took off all the xposed modules. Nothing (as suspected), I did a factory reset.. it did not work. I tried *#0011# and pressed the menu button and selected wifi and turned off wifi power save. That did nothing.
I finally made the decision to break root put everything back to stock in case I need to take it back. Instead of Odin I thought I would give Kies 3 a try. I downloaded Kies 3, plugged in my phone and selected Tools>Firmware upgrade and initialization. It went through its motion.. I noticed that KNOX went back to 0x1 it booted up. Wifi worked.. perfectly! I also had all my apps still installed and didn't lose texting or have to put in my accounts again.
I am going to re root it and see if it recreates the problem.. Hopefully not. I'll advise.
**Update** Re-rooted..using chainfire's method WiFi works great..

do you solve the wifi problem with this? i have the wifi problem...
I was using my rooted Android 6.0 with that kernel chainfire uploaded here on xda with the supersu 2.52 beta, and it was working fine for a few days until my wifi started to stop working, turn off, then turn on after a few seconds, lag, reboot, turn off, on, off, on until it stopped working. Putting the phone to airplane mode then back to normal or safe reboot could get it work for 10 minutes and not every time.
Solutions I have tried and didn't work:
Reflashed android 6 without wiping data
Factory Reset android 6
Flash 5.1.1 with wiping data
Clear Dalvik Cache
echo -ne the .macaddr file
delete the wpa_supplicant files
Nothing worked. When I dial *#*#4636#*#*, wifi state shown "UN-INITIALIZED"
What to do! I need to fix my wifi and can't afford a repair shop, and I'm out of warranty and outside the US so can't return it.

I just started to have the exact same issue last night. Wifi won't come on and if it does my phone reboots. There is a thread about it on Google Nexus help forums: https://productforums.google.com/fo...ification#!msg/nexus/yx5kGasv2lE/Pbx5KNQjCAAJ

Nexus 5 WiFi problem with Marshmallow
Hello, after updating my Nexus 5 to Android 6.0 the Wi-fi is no longer working. It keeps trying to connect but never actually turns on the Wi-Fi or show any networks. I've turned it on in Safe Mode and it still has the same issue.
Please help!

I tried that but didnt' help. Almost every time I turn the wifi on my N5 eventually reboots. I did have wifi connect for a few minutes today to my 5Ghz wifi but then failed for no reason.
I am guessing the wifi chip has burnt out or its some other hardware/software problem. My N5 is a day 1 shipped phone and had no other issues with it. Such a bummer....

So its probably not the same issue. Did you tried all bands? Is it doing the same thing on different rooter brands?

Did you tried the option in the developer menu I was talking in my post above, it fixed my wifi problem caused by Android 6.0
this problem is severe
i have Nexus 5
Since ive updated to stock 6.0.1 (Build M4B30Z) my wifi has stopped working completely
Things ive tried
- ROOT, delete wifi persist folder (Wifi works but requires restart once wifi stops working)
- Lineage OS (Wifi works here but requires multiple restarts)
- Revert to Stock versions 4.4.4 and 5.1
- Heat gun over Wifi Chip (doesnt work at all) may be ive done it the wrong way
any suggestions to restore my phone
I have SM-920V , verizon branded galaxy s6 . my problem is , when i turn on phone , it restarts itself...
I've tried everything , reseting/erasing , flashing firmware with odin , flashing and updating firmware with KIES . It still same , restarts before or on activation screen and can't past it .
It's turned on only for minute or less and then restarts , bu when it's in download mode i can flash firmware without any restarts or so... (more then hour)
So any suggestions?
try this, turn off wifi as soon as your phone boots up.
i can't , because settings menu is not acceptable on activation screen
Also it's not connected to my wifi network (i've mac filtered network)
I had similar issue with wifi being the culprit.
As soon as it boots up, wipe down notification tray and disable wifi toggle. See if that works.
If nothing works, take it back where you bought it for replacement.

Anyone have them?
Hi, i recently installed the Resurrection REMIX rom for the shield k1, and it's impossible to connect to wi-fi as the activate-deactivate button is locked (gray) and it does not work even after a reboot, i can bring the wi-fi list in the notifications bar but if i try to deactivate it, it activates again.
is anyone facing a similar issue? how can i fix it? this wasn't a thing when i had the stock ROM with android 6.0.1 and i'm truly annoyed by this.
update: tried reinstalling the custom rom, now i can't complete the setup, and using power + volume down will not bring recovery mode to restore the stock ROM, now i'm left with an unusable device, what a nice day.
