Is anyone else having this problem after recent updates? Previously WiFi calling worked (although it would turn itself off from time to time). After my phone updated recently, not only will WiFi calling NOT work, but the option is totally gone from my advanced settings.
I tried accessing the menu via dialing ##4636##, but that doesn't work anymore either. (I remember it working months earlier when I was troubleshooting the issue of the wifi calling turning itself off).
I also used the adb shell to turn on the following setting:
wfc_ims_mode=2
But that doesn't seem to have any effect either.
Any ideas?

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?
Ever since my phone got the XNPH38R update I've been having an issue with wi-fi
If I connect to wifi it works fine but as soon as I lose the wifi signal it can't seem to reconnect to the same wifi without rebooting the phone. Its especially annoying when I walk to get the mail or come home from anywhere.
I've tried manually connecting to the wifi after being disconnected in the android wifi settings menu but it doesn't connect until I reboot my phone.
I'm running the 64GB oneplus one on t-mobile in the usa.
Any suggestions?

I've had this issue on CM, except it'd work when I manually connected back to the wifi - I believe it's an issue when the phone goes to sleep it's failing to resume wifi connections.
The only thing I could suggest is try downgrading back down, or doing a clean re-install, and reporting this issue on CM's jira, so they can fix it.

I'm on OMNI now, so I can't really help you out, but do try unticking that 'wifi optimization' option, or perhaps using a tasker profile to turn off and on wifi whenever the screen display turns off and on respectively (at the trade off of loosing connection, so you won't be able to download stuff while the phone's off).
i have the same problem..
WiFi authentication issues
I'm having issues when connecting to my work WiFi, My device can see the WiFi name and it shows as "saved,secured". When I go to connect it shows "Connecting" for seemingly minutes then reverts back to "saved.secured"
The phones WiFi works perfectly fine on many other WiFi networks, just specifically my works WiFi
As far as troubleshooting
-My first thought was Password/credentials-related so I checked that and everything is good on my side
-I have done a bunch of googling and apparently its a known issue with this latest update or something to that means?
-People suggested going to the phone app dialing *#0011# to disable the wifi psm(power save mode) which i did and for a day this worked,then the next day at work it didn't.
Checked the wifi psm was still disabled and it was/is
-In the means of troubleshooting I even re-enabled/disabled WiFi PSM which did not help
-I disconnected from the WiFi network/forgot the settings and reconnected
-Ive rebooted the phone
Now given the fact that I can connect to every other wifi network with ease I really do not want to factory reset
Any Ideas
Hello! I've been struggling with this problem for two months already. Basically, when I turn on WiFi tethering it works fine. I get high-speed transfers and well signal strength. However, hotspot becomes unresponsive shortly after screen turns off. Not a single ping can be received. I also noticed, that signal rate drops drastically shortly before it disconnects completely.
This issue stands to all devices I try to use with my OPO - laptops, smartphones etc.
I've already tried:
setting settings put global tether_dun_required 0 on ADB
changing hotspot WiFi frequency
changing hotspot SSID and password
changing battery mode
disabling battery optimization for "Android System" (sadly no Tethering app were found on the list)
I don't use any kind of battery savers. Nor of my Xposed modules should affect system in such a way. My Oneplus is running the latest CM ZNH2KAS3P0, however this problem had been present on previous ROMs already.
Any tips? Thanks in advance
Maybe....
Wifi -> Advanced Wifi Settings -> Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep ?
It's also set to Always, without effect
Encountered similar issue of WIFI from OPO mobile hotspot keep disconnecting. Troubleshot by putting the same SIM card in other phones where there was no such issue, so OPO is the issue here. Tried many suggestions but don't work, until I went to phone "Settings", then "Network & Internet", and lastly went for "Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth" to find this issue fixed finally!
Hello,
I have a carrier unlocked Pixel 2 walleye that is rooted (magisk, no custom recovery) and on Verizon
android version 8.1.0
build #OPM1.171019.021
when I try to activate wifi calling, i get the spinning circle for a long time, and then it finally says "unable to activate wi-fi calling. please try again later"
I have HD voice activated on my verizon wireless account.
I tried the VoEnabler module in Magisk
Wifi calling is turned on in the phone info screen (*#*#4636#*#*)
The only thing i guess i haven't tried is installing a Verizon ROM instead of the stock Google ROM.
Before I went that route, I wanted to check here and see if anyone else was able to get it to work for them.
Thanks in advance.
ok so i had this issue twice on the same phone and i am rooted as well. i think the only way to get it to work is to disable root, activate wifi calling, then reactivate root.
I have enabled this feature while rooted on 2 different PIxel 2's.
This sounds silly but turn off wifi and try to activate it. I've been unable to input my address during the activation process multiple times unless I am on cellular.
thanks for the suggestions everyone. with wifi turned off, it still won't work. I'll try the unroot path next time there is a new system update. It's not a critical need at the moment, but it is rather annoying that i can't activate it.

I don't think your problem is related to root unless it's a Magisk module of some kind that's the problem. I'm on Verizon, rooted with Magisk. I haven't had wireless calling turned on but after seeing your post I thought I'd check and see if it works on mine. It connected without any problems for me.
Did you ever figure this out?

I'm having a similar issue, except that I can enable wifi calling but always get the "Turn off airplane mode or connect to a wireless network" message when attempting to place a wifi call. Everything with regard to wifi calling is set up correctly. I thought I had this narrowed down to Oreo version and patch level, but I honestly can't come up with a repeatable scenario that breaks it. About all I can say for sure is it seems like when I flash back to bone stock, OPM1.171019.021, wifi calling works as expected. However, it seems to break after a while, even without applying any updates. My gut says it's related to root, but I've also seen it work with root. I also have a suspicion it has something to do with the type of authentication on the wifi network, as the first time I ever saw wifi calling work was when I connected to an open SSID. The problem is, right after that, it worked fine on a WPA2 network on which it never worked before. This is on Verizon with a Pixel 2 from the Google Store. I have a hard time believing it's a Verizon issue, though. It's more like the phone does a check for wifi connectivity and returns "false" for some reason.
*** I should add all my testing has been done by turning on airplane mode (thus disabling LTE/3G) and then enabling wifi. My office at work has horrendous cell coverage, but I haven't gotten it down to zero bars without airplane mode to see if it works then.
