WiFi SSID not showing up on my phone only - General Questions and Answers

My wifi SSID does not appear at all on my phone, however it works fine on my computer and other mobiles. Not sure if anyone has messed with the router settings, but is it even possible po hide SSID for specific devices? I've tried connecting through my laptop and then openin my laptop's hotspot, and again the hotspot name does not appear in my phone. Other WiFis work fine. I've tried restarting router and phone, resetting the network and bluetooth settings, but nothing is working. I'm using a nexus 6p with Statix OS, android pie rom. Anyone has an idea what the problem might be? Thanks in advance.

If you're using a custom ROM, it might be an issue with the ROM itself. You should post this question in the thread where you got the ROM so the developer that built the ROM can see if it is something they need to fix in their ROM.
To see if it is a result of the ROM you are using, try a different ROM to see if the problem still exists. If it works on other ROMs then the problem is definitely the ROM you are currently using and the developer will have to fix it.

[Q] WiFi internet shared by notebook doesn't work

I've been looking around for a similar thread but I couldn't find anything helpful. My problem is that when I create a WiFi network with my notebook, and share my wired internet connection, I can connect to it, but there's no internet connection available.
My Inspire is using the newest MIUI build with the Radio that is recommended for the MIUI from the Radio thread. Every other WiFi network seems to work (I have some difficulties connecting to my uni's network but that's most probably not related to this, since my home network and every other network works fine). When I connect to this network, I have excellent signal, I get assigned proper network parameters by my own DHCP server and everything seems to work fine except for no internet connection, no pages load, market cannot connect etc. My friend's ZTE Blade works on this network, and my other friend's notebook also does. I tried pinging the device and from about 100 packets, only 1 reached it. I really have no idea what could be wrong. Thanks for the help in advice
Okay, after testing some more I can't connect to my uni's WPA2 secured networks, only the WEP secured networks. When trying to connect to a WPA2 network it says connecting, then the network quickly disappears and says Disabled or Remembered. Really pisses me off I tried also the "Released for Desire HD - 04-28-2011" Radio, no help with this, either.

I would try a different rom. MIUI uses CM based drivers for WiFi and BT. I would check there.
Tried the official CM7.1 ROM, same result, and actually every other WiFi network works, so I don't think it has to do anything with the ROM.

Try a non CM based Rom. They use the same drivers as MIUI is based off of CM. They use open source drivers instead of the ones built by the device manufacturer.
What type of connection does your university use?

[Q] Wifi not working with LG P500

Hey guys, I have an LG p500 and I use custom roms. Currently using CM 6.5.7 (2.3.5) and randomly I got this. It says my wireless is disabled. I am unable to include a photo as I am new to the forums. But basically it shows my wireless name and "disabled, secured by blah blah". I've tried forgetting the network, still same problem. Reflashed and wiped cache and dalvik.
I am unable to connect to my wireless, it just says disabled. This randomly happened, and wifi was working fine for 6 months, It worked fine on 6.5.7 but just randomly said that. I can connect all other wireless devices to the router, so whats the problem

'Forget' all the networks until you no longer have 'Not in range' networks. Maybe reboot your phone and try connecting again. It should work.
Nope, didn't do it.
Still says the same thing.
I experienced a similar problem with my home network (with the same rom) and solved by introducing manually the IP adress, gateway, netmask & the DNS. (got them easily by looking at the properties of my wireless network from a laptop and choosing an IP address within the range supported by my router). Now my phone is always connected using this configuration, but it only works optimally with the network for which settings are valid.
Might be a ROM bug. someone alerted to mik about this bug to fix it?
I have the same problem too. My WiFi randomly stopped working and when I turn the WiFi on it says "connecting" and then "disconnected". When I try to scan for more it doesn't do anything. I am also using the Cyanogen Mod as well.
The problem is probably that usb debugging is turned on. Try turning it off.
explain me pls

WiFi problem with finding access point

Hi,
I'm a new owner of TF700
I've turned it up and have to say that I was impressed.
Right after that I encountered a problem with WiFi not finding my router (WRT54GL). The router's WiFi works (it is normally found by my PC, HTC One S, iPhone on daily basis). The TF700 finds tons of WiFis in the building except mine.
I also tried to manually add the WiFi and I just get-not in range. I tested if the WiFi works with creating a hotspot on my HTC One S and it worked.
Did anyone encountered such a problem/has a solution?
Thank you!

Hi,
I got the same problem after updating my TF700 to version V10.4.4.20
Is anybody has it resolved?
SSID gone on my Transformer
I have the same problem. Before Cyanogen mod 10 on my Transformer 101, my Netgear VVG2000 WPA2/PSK encrypted wifi ap worked fine, but after mod installation I can't se my SSID. It works fine on my SG2 and I can connect and see other wifi networks. Can it be because the MAC address has changed and the router blocks it or...? I also tried to change encryption mode to no avail. It has happened once before with a laptop and a never NIC software fixed it.
Hmmm...

What channel is the router using? If you are in the US and it is 12+ you may have and issue with it.

[Completed] Latest Android phones not connecting to WiFi router

At work we installed a new WiFi router a few months back. The connection is open and no one needs a password to connect to it. But many who bought android phones recently arent able to connect to it. I have a OnePlus One with android 4.4.4 which doesnt connect to the WiFi. My colleagues own Xiaomi, Motorola phones which they bought recently, which also doesnt connect to the internet.
The phones detect the WiFi signal, says the network is saved but fails to connect to it no matter what. The temporary solution is to make our laptop into a WiFi router and use it but this is seriously annoying. The router is from HP and I dont know the exam model number for it at the moment
I will be grateful if someone can find any solution for this problem. Also, I am a novice when it comes to gadgets so, if your suggestion is to manually set up my WiFi settings please do so with clear instructions or a video of some sort. However I will be happy if this problem gets solved in a straightforward manner.
Please help!

No need to configure wifi on your device IMO.
Sounds like an issue with the wifi router.
To check an fix the internet settings of the wifi router, you will need the adminstrative access/console/password for the router.
Then you can check that all new devices afre allowed to connect. On some routers you can restrict the access to a list of known devices or by enabling a MAC address filtering.
If you find such options on the HP wifi router, disable it and restart the wifi.
And make sure that the SSID of the wifi network is visible (= not hidden). Some Android devices have issue connecting to hidden networks.
Thread closed. Thank you.

[Q] Wi-Fi / MAC address issues on my OPO

So far, my wi-fi has been working fine on Android L - except for when I'm home where my router has white-listed its devices with their MAC-addresses. It worked fine when running Android 4.4, but I had no success yet on Oxygen, cm12 nightlies or cm12s.
Whenever i try to connect, it says "Connecting.." and switches to "Saved" after some time and then tries to connect again. I have removed the whitelist and it connected fine - but as soon as the router restarts, I can't connect again. Even if my device's MAC address is whitelisted.
Strangely, it does connect once after a fresh cm12 or Oxygen installation, but only once. Disabling and re-enabling wifi will not let my OPO connect to it anymore.
Anyone having similar issues or any advice? It seems like my OPO doesn't want to reveal its MAC address to my router. Other devices can connect without any problems.
From Ubuntu Touch porting I know that the OPO uses a default (private) MAC address at startup until it get initialized with the correct one, save somewhere in a config or firmware partition. We are also currently unable to use more than 2 OPOs in the same network due to MAC address collission. Maybe you have the same problem, as it turns out, as our port is based on Lineage/CM for OPO.

Try flashing the modem/radio from one of the latest stock fastboot flashable ROMs perhaps? This may resolve your issue, especially if you where on a stock ROM that was old before you started flashing custom ROMs. There was once an app that would allow you to truly spoof your Mac address, but I believe it wasn't working for anything above Jellybean or Kit Kat. It used to be great help for moments such as these.
