Wifi Stuck w/Certain Roms. - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I'm having wifi issues with my Nexus. It started after flashing MIUI. I was using TWRP to flash, it took a while for the google logo to disappear and to get to the Xiaomi bootlogo. After it finally booted, the wifi was stuck to "turning on", but never ultimately firing up(couldn't get it to turn on nor off, even having turning it off). I've also noticed that I have the same EXACT issue with CyanogenMod. I completely returned to stock, i've relocked the bootloader and everything. I tried CM installer today and i'm rooted again with CM, but still I have the same exact issues as before. I don't have these issues with some other roms such as stock, official Omnirom and such, i wouldn't think it would be exactly a hardware issue, since it works just fine with certain roms. Would anyone have an idea why my phone is having this issue? It wasn't always this way. Specifically, I haven't been having issues with 4.4 roms. Does anyone think it could be something related to bootloader, or something?

i have a similar problem... i rooted my nexus and flashed a custom rom (PACman) when it boots wifi is disabled, also bluetooth doesnt work neither any sounds, no music, no speaker, nothing, so i flashed Paranoid android (both based on 4.3) and i had the same problem
so then i flashed stock, everything ok, then CrDroid (based en 4.4) everything ok, then OmniRom (Based on 4.4) everything ok too...
i posted it here and got no replies, hope someone could help

Yes, right now I'm running an unofficial CM 11, and no issues. I wonder if something needs to be downgraded, in order for things to be okay again. I would still like the option to be able to run 4.2/4.3 based roms. Maybe I could try flashing to stock 4.2 or 4.3, then reroot, and test my results

What radio/baseband version are you using?

Hi, I'm using AOKP last nightly builds and since 2013-10-18 Wi-Fi started to stuck, settings ui errors and other problems. So I just tried franko kernel with official AOKP releases and Wi-Fi now is working fine. But i've faced skype problems). After 4 minutes it hangs and i need to restart my phone.

[Q] Wifi won´t activate on stock 4.2.2/cm 10.1

Hi Guys,
I have a problem with my nexus 4. I wanted to use cyanogenmod instead of the stock rom, so i rooted my device yesterday and flashed the latest stable build of cm (10.1.2).
Everything worked fine, except for the wifi; it won´t turn on. It get´s stuck on the "turning on wifi"-page, wtih the button in off-position and saying "turning on wifi".
I´ve read some threads were people had the same problem, but nothing seems to fix it. I made a factory reset, wiped cache and dalvik, fixed permissions, but in didn´t work on cm 10.1.2.
So i tried a different build, cm 10.1.1 stable, but the problem persisted. I tried the same things I did on the 10.1.2, but it did not help. So I tried using the latest nightly, but that didn´t help either.
I thought i go back to the stock build to fix it, because it still worked after I rooted the device and still had the stock on it, but unfortunately that did not fix it. I made a factory reset, and wiped cache and dalvik again, but it just won´t work.
Long story short, i don´t know what to do now I rooted and flashed several devices before and never had a problem that did persist even nafter i tried multiple buidls of cm and wiping everything everytime; so if anybody has any idea where this problem comes from and how i could fix it that would be really great

Im having a similar problem, i think we have to flash a different radio ?
Still nothing
Flash a different radio? What excactly does that mean? I must admit I have not heard of that :laugh:
By the way, I just unrooted my device and relocked the bootloader, but that didn´t fix the problem either.
Stock CM Kernel? If so, try flashing kernels with prima drivers. If the problem persists, I guess it may be hardware. On another note, do you have bluetooth or GPS on? Try turning those off and try connecting.

I just tried the franco R163 with prima drivers, that did not fix it. But, speaking of the bluetooth, i´ve just noticed that the same problems occurrs with that. I trie to turn it on an it stays at "turning on bluetooth" without actually turning on. Maybe that helps to know what the problem is.
What other kernel with prima drivers would you recommend?
Edit:
I´ve read through a few threads on that bluetooth-issue, which apparently is more common than my wifi issue. I was wondering if my wifi-issue could have something to do with the bluetooth, because other users who have said bluetooth issue found their bluetooth temporarily on after reboot; then after a while the bluethooth issue appeared again.
In my case the bluetooth doesn´t appear to be on, but i was thinking that maybe it is, but the software fails to display that and that that is interfering with my wifi.
Could that be a possibility?
Out of the box my nexus 4 refused to connect to my TPLINK wr941ND router, wifi was set months ago, nexus 7 works as charm same with evo 3d and others. I thought wtf and turned on wifi on broadband modem, it showed up on nexus 4.... And suddenly network from router poped up as well. I switched off wifi on modem and nexus lost wifi from router. At this moment I went for a walk... When I come back done factory reset, reboot the router, no effect. Changed settings from WPA2/QSS to WPA without QSS - no change, then I changed channel from #13 (best in my location, all my neighbours using #1 and #6) to #1 and instantly nexus found network.... So it seems that sumthing is apparently with wifi, when I changed channel back to #13 it drops the connection and says that networtk is out of range. So finally I checked all the channels from 1st to 13th and it works from #1 to #10, 11 till 13 dunt work. Maybe this info will help sumone with simillar problems.

[Q] Problems with audio after flashing MGG

Hi!
I flashed a rom with MGG and got the same FC problems as everyone else. Flashed the stock MGG rom and cleared everything, factory reset etc. After that I didn't get any audio at all. Not ever during the samsung bootup animation.
I flashed another rom through cwm, same thing and no wifi. The wifi fix doesn't seems to work either.
Tried CM 10.2, there I'm getting wifi but instead no data trafic. Baseband says "unknown" even through I flash different modems. The wifi and data problems I can get around, its just that I can't flash older roms through odin until they unlock the new bootloader.
The audio problems in the other hand. Saw some guy having sound problems in the modem thread as well. Not to many have posted about this problem. Seems to be a pretty rare problem.
What could cause this, how to get around this?
Had to go to work with a non working phone so can't get any logs for you at the moment.
I'm concerned, please enlighten me!
Finally, flashed the latest CM 10.2. Got wifi and reception working!
Still no sound. What log would you like to see to find out what's wrong?

[Q] Why does my Wifi & Bluetooth not working even with stock rom?

Hey guys,
I have a Galaxy S4 (i9500). I installed Omega ROM v22 on it and everything went smoothly, Wifi & BT working perfectly.
After a few hours of using the device (nothing special at all, texts and stuff like that) - I noticed my wifi isn't working and by not working I mean that I click the wi-fi button and it changes from gray to the mid-state between gray to green for around 20 seconds before it goes back to green ago.
If I open the menu to see my networks it just says "Enabling" without any networks there.
I had to drive somewhere so I went to my car and tried to enable Bluetooth, and same thing happens there - Bluetooth will not turn on and will stay stuck on mid-state between gray and green for a while and go back to green.
I flashed omega rom v22 again and the problem was gone, or so I thought. I went back to the car for another drive and realized the bluetooth issue is back - and when I got home I realized the wifi issue is back as well.
I figured I need to reset everything so I tried the following:
Full wipe (including dalvik and even including "internal SD card") and then flashing stock rom (from the official website, stock rom of my country).
The issue was back after a few hours. I do not have BT or Wifi access. Yesterday Wifi suddenly started working for a few hours but then it stopped working again.
I really need help! I have no idea what to do with this issue!
Well rule number one when you have problems after flashing without wipe.
1. perform a full wipe and see if the problem persists.

Tried that, no luck.
What else would you try?
In some places when people had problems with Wi-Fi they said to flash a different kernel but I don't see why I would have this specific issue with Omega Rom and why the default kernel with it wont work well?
Maybe this could be a root issue? My root works fine but I have this weird gut feeling like this is some permissions thing that's going on.
I'm trying to think why it would work right after the wipe but then stop working shortly after.
Another symptom: It randomly started working for a few minutes and then stopped again (around three hours ago).
Any idea what's going on?
Well, if you fully wiped and didn't restore any apps and settings then it can be two other things.
Or it's a bug in the rom or a hardware failure in your phone.
I would suggest trying a different rom first. Do not restore anything, not even your google account.
wi-fi fix?
Do you actually have an i9505? or is it a canadian or att version? if its the latter sometimes the devs offer some wifi-fixes, also try a different kernel. otherwise it could be that your radio/modem are not compatible with the version of the ROM you are flashing.
Tried arrow ROM and this issue doesn't seem to happen in this rom. Hope it stays like that...

Sadly, it did happen with this rom, after just a few hours.
I'm now using stock rom and still suffering from the issue.
Does anyone have ANY idea what I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

Problems with CM12.1

Hello,
I have posted this on the cyanogenmod forum but everyone seems to be on holiday as I'm getting no replies. I'm hoping someone on here can help.
I recently had CM12.1 running on my S5 SM-G900F for about six months with no problems. I then switched over to CM13 and used that for about a month without any problems.
I decided to go back to CM12.1, I flashed the same CM12.1 Snapshot file that I had been using previously and it installed without error but when I rebooted the phone it would crash and reboot in a loop during start up. I wiped the phone and tried the install again about four or five times having the same problem until on the final attempt it managed to load the OS. Now that I have the OS running I cant connect to WIFI, the 'back' and 'recent apps' buttons on the phone don't respond (the home button does work), the camera app doesn't work (I get the error 'Can connect to Camera') and it keeps crashing and restarting on reboot. Everything else seems to work but the phone seems sluggish and there may be other errors that I haven't come across yet.
I thought that there may be a problem with the zip file I was flashing so I downloaded it again but it did the same thing. I've tried wiping and reinstalling several times but I get the exact same problems. The file I'm flashing is:
cm-12.1-20151007-SNAPSHOT-YOG4PAO333-klte.zip
If I go back to CM13 everything works fine so the problem is only with CM12.1.
I'm at a lost to explain why this keeps happening as I've had this running fine on my phone previously and wiping the phone and starting again doesn't do anything to solve the problem.
Any ideas please?
Come on people! Have a guess, I'm really stuck here!
I myself have not installed any custom roms on my s5 yet (bc of knox 0x0 lol) but try reverting back to the stock rom and then install cm12.1 again, maybe it could work.
Thanks, but I've tried that. Both stock rom and CM13 work without a problem. The issue only seems to be with CM12.1.
Can you tell what bothered you to go away from cm13 back to cm 12.1?

Bluetooth & Nougat SIM Card Issues

Hey XDA peeps!
I recently got meself a G4 Plus (32/3 GB, XT1643), and everything has been totally fantastic, except for this: connecting to a Bluetooth device is almost impossible, and using any 7.1 ROM causes SIM errors.
I've been able to connect to my Android Wear watch, but that's about it. I got Motorola's VerveLoop+ headphones too, and it connects to everything but my G4+. I tried multiple things, reflashing the modem file (NON-HLOS.bin), flashing stock ROM, flashing multiple ROMs from the forums (CM, RR, BS, AOKP), none of them fixed the problem.
I'm currently using RR 5.7.4 (MM), and 5.8.0 (N) recently came out. I tried updating but it doesn't read my SIM after the process. I tried flashing the 7.0 "soak" ROM or whatever it is, but nothing, same issue over and over again. I tried a full format and flashing RR alone through TWRP but same thing.
So, what do? Any help on either would be very much appreciated.

I have multiple Bluetooth devices and connections all day long and I'm on RR 5.8.0 atm but no issues like you happened to me ever(XT1642, MM stock modem). Maybe with flashing you messed up the modem so sim detection etc. Is gone? Did you tried to separately flash the M modem?

Tried it before and tried it just now, and still nothing... Right now I'm more concerned about the Bluetooth thing, its bumming me out. I reverted back to RR 5.7.4 from a backup, but even on 5.8.0, Bluetooth wouldn't work.
Anyone know what to do?
So if I understand correctly Bluetooth has never worked properly for you ever since you bought the phone?
If that's the case and it doesn't work even with stock firmware you should consider hardware fault.
I would put stock back and try to get it serviced.

No what happened is that after flashing RR, the thing stopped working. I tried reverting back and it's the same. It's not that Bluetooth isn't functional, I can connect to my laptop and my Android Wear watch, but it won't connect to my Bluetooth headset (the VerveLoop+ as I mentioned)

If it was working with stock, you should be able to get it back to work.
I would focus in making it work again in stock.
Make sure you flashed the right version for your model and so on.

Well thing is, I tried doing that before, after flashing RR the first time, Bluetooth stopped functioning properly, be it in CM or stock, same thing.
Note: I was able to fix the weird SIM thing with 7.1, but Bluetooth issues still persist.

I don't really know, I was looking for a workaround and I backed up my RR 5.7.4 ROM, then when I hit restore it wouldn't work, so I flashed RR 5.8.0 just to see what will happen and it got fixed... Really odd how that worked...
Edit: Never mind it, it went back to how it was after restoring my backup properly. I tried updating but it didn't work. For 7.1 issues, I'll just wait until the official update and flash the modem file for it, I really hope it works.
