I am trying to connect my phone to wifi and its stuck at turning on. My Bluetooth and GPS are working fine. I am also able to see MAC address for my wifi and Bluetooth. But my wifi is not working. I have tired Flashing stock ROM, custom ROM, Performing hard reset etc. None of them worked. I am wondering there might be some data corruption or some file missing that is causing this problem. Similar to this "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHGQn0Av2hI" where his moto g is having the same problem.
My S6 is currently running Android 7.0 Stock ROM
See the Attached screenshots
Please Help..... Its WIFI
Hello - currently having this issue on my S6 right now.
Updated from 6.0.1 to Stock 7 using Odin and Samfirm
Then a combination of custom roms and stock flash, also didn't work.
Upon trying to access FSM (service mode) I don't see any of the wifi power save options that most people report that fix it.
Any idea? There are a few of us in the internet with this but never a solution
There's a good chance that this information is useless, but I got this on another Samsung device, after writing 0 to /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill1/state.
WiFi stuck on turning on;
WiFi and BT MAC addresses are OK;
GPS and BT are OK (tested);
WiFi Direct is clickable after using the back button but does nothing;
After a few attempts it gives up.
After writing 1 the WiFi started working again(tested). But it didn't stop working by itself, it stopped working because I wrote 0.
Logcat's attached.

For no apparent reason, my phone won't connect to wifi. Says ERROR on wireless connections. It's a rooted device. Tried different roms. Same error.
Anyone?
have you tried a different router or wifi location?
If you have your phone rooted try flashing a diffrent kernel to see if that fixes the problem
he said he tried different roms....
I am also seeing something similar. Running stock froyo ROM with Overstock kernel. What I've noticed is that this doesn't seem to happen when the phone is first booted. After running for a while, the wifi toggle just stops working; resulting in the "Error" status as mentioned by OP.
The only ways around it is to:
a) Reboot, or
b) Use the 'airplane' mode toggle to switch to airplane mode and back, and the wifi toggle works again.
If there was a simple solution around it, that would be great.
I got excited when I saw your airplane mode idea... But it didn't work! Will try a different colonel
Have a look at this thred
I had much the same problem and followed the advice in this thread.

Mine does this whenever I arrive home. If I come to work the WiFi connects right up. But when I get home, the WiFi doesn't connect and shows "error" in the settings.
Going to/from airplane mode worked on my first Captivate (1007 running Paragon RC6 ROM), but it doesn't work on my new Captivate (1101, rooted, stock Froyo). The only thing that works for me is rebooting the phone.
Wifi Fix
Use FXR Wifi Fix app. Worked for me.
Ya sometimes it's just a hotspot acting funny...
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...
So I've had my Nexus 5 for roughly around a month and I hadn't experienced any issues others have had with wifi not connecting until now. My N5 will show im connected to my home wifi with full bars, but going into quick settings shows it to be orange. Suggesting there's no data transfer, I cannot use any internet based apps with wifi. I've tried some suggestions, switching my router off then on, rebooting the phone, turning some settings off in the advanced panel in wifi settings. All have failed.
I was just wondering if anyone else has this problem and if anyone has a fix to it.

There was a thread around here somewhere that suggested turning off your mobile data helped fix this problem, I think it was in the N5 General forums.....here it is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2550690
Don't know if it'll help or not, just saw your thread and had just looked at the other one, figured I'd toss it out there.
Thanks for the reply, just tried that solution but still no luck.
I have a similar problem except that there are phases of wifi not working.
Sometimes I would have around 20-30 seconds of WiFi not working and there would be no data transfer.
Speeds are still fast when it is working however.
I played a little with only using mobile data and no wifi, and everything worked. (Small sample size however).
Seems like this is a WiFi only issue.
So somehow overnight the wifi has managed to fix itself, will report back if the problem returns.
The issue with the wifi returned unfortunately.

Don't know if you've tried this but change your WiFi frequency band in advanced setting to either "5 GHz only" or "2.4 GHz only," whatever your router uses. Might be worth a try.
Thanks for the help, but I've tried changing some settings in advanced wifi settings but it hasn't worked. Even what you recommended I've tried that before and it didn't work.
wifi issue
Also I have the same issue - Im connected to router by wi-fi, home and work and time by time (5x a day) wifi stops working. Wifi is enabled in settings, but there is no connection. Restart the cellphone helps, but after that, maybe an hour, it appears again.
Issue was in 4.4 and still appers in 4.4.1.
Yet did not found how to solve it.
I have the same issue on my gnex running shiny 4.4, but I also had the same issue on 4.3. Tried the wifi options, nothing worked. Unfortunately, no solution for this device that has to last one more week. The double swipe down and tapping wifi gets the connection back, but it is only a work around.
The N5 connects seamlessly to my home and work wifi. A few days ago, I flashed the hammerhead factory image, TWRP and the 4.4.1 update.

Hey,
I have the same problem with 4.4.2.(factory rom, no root or not unlocked). Sometimes the wifi not works and get orange. I must put airplane mode to fix it. Its annoying.
But as well happens to me:
When I go out from office or home (where I have wifi connections saved in phone) the phone automatically switch to data plan from carrier. But when I come back the phone stays with data and there is not automatic switch to wifi. Sometimes it help to put wifi off or always airplane mode on/off for a while.
I do not know if it is normal behave of android but I would like have automatic switch to wifi.
I tried to change wifi details (changing bands, etc.) but not helped.
Please help. Thank you.
Is custom ROM or kernel will fix it??
For some unknown reason, as soon as I updated my router's firmware, the problem disappeared.
Updated Android 6.0 solved the issue

So I had the unfortunate experience of having my wifi go down while on vacation and for 3 weeks I spent a good chunk of time wiping and reinstalling multiple versions from Cyanogen, Paranoid android and 4.4 - 5.1 to no avail. I just did another factory wipe today and installed the new Android 6.0
The Finger Pointing Game is OVER
Read through 30+ pages of other android users with similar experience and some people send their units back to LG and some even managed getting a new handset. There was never any hardware issues with my unit I just couldn't turn on the WiFi but after the install WiFi works? Guess next time you push a software update to our Phones CHECK YOUR SH*T google and Maybe DON'T Take 3 months to FIX your F*CK Up.
I have a similar issue. Since Lollipop my phone almost never automatically connects to my WiFi anymore. What's wrong?
Hey guys,
I'm having some issues with my Wi-Fi connectivity on my N5 and it's freaking me out! :crying:
When I'm trying to connect to my home network, the Wi-Fi icon is getting orange after some random time.
Some times it gets back to white, some times it's not.
I know its a known issue but nothing seems to fix it.
I tried everything - reboot my phone, reboot my router, reboot into safe mode, forget the network and connect again, toggle into airplane mode and back, change Wi-Fi settings to connect only to 2.4 GHz, avoid poor connections, update my router firmware.
NOTHING worked!
The only thing I haven't tried yet is factory reset but I read some people saying it didn't help them either.
Only turning Wi-Fi off and than on again makes it "white" again for some other random time.
I'm running stock everything on a rooted device with Android 4.4.4 build KTU84P.
My Wi-Fi is working great with other devices in the network including a Nexus 7 2012 and some laptops.
And it seems that my Nexus 5 is connecting fine to other Wi-Fi networks.
It worked fine in the past and I think it all went wrong when I replaced my Modem.
Any ideas what else can I try?
Do you think maybe the Lollipop update will fix this annoying issue?
Thanks!
Forgot to mention (I guess it is obvious) - I can't connect to any website or run any network connected app when I'm "orange" (I know it means I'm not connected to google services).
Tried also to change my Wi-Fi channel. still not working.
Doesn't anyone have an idea what is wrong here?
This is really frustrating ... :crying:
Well, I'm kind of talking to myself here, but in case someone else is facing this annoying issue, here is what fixed it for me eventually:
Configure a static IP to my phone in the router configurations ! :victory:
Before that, I also tried to disable Wi-Fi optimization in the phone Wi-Fi settings, buy it didn't seem to help.
Hi.
I only have one wifi network around atm. My N5 was working fine with it, and yesterday it started disconnecting from it.
Right now, when I try to connect, it connects for 3 or 4 seconds (it gets an IP address and actually connects to the Internet) before jumping back to data connection. When entering the Wireless menu on my phone it says "WiFi Connection Failure".
I thought I might have tweaked something I shouldn't (since also yesterday I installed Franco kernel and App Ops), so I went back to stock (using the Nexus Toolkit) and in the process I updated to the newest 5.1 release (I had LMY47D version and upgraded to LMY47I).
It didn't help. I also tried changing the router channel and security type to no avail.
Of course, I also tried to turn airplane mode on/off and forgetting network. And I just downgraded to LMY47D to see if that was the problem. But it didn't fix it.
I'm attaching the logcat. I hope I did it properly.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
UPDATE: I noticed it works in Safe Mode. I'll try to find which app is causing it.
I'm having exactly the same problem.
Updated to 5.1, after a run with Nike+ and Runkeeper, with GPS and Cellular Data on, battery drained and phone switched off. After a recharge, this problem emerged, different ROMs, different stock versions, different kernels. Nothing seems to make wi-fi work again.
