I updated to Lollipop 5 days ago on my Galaxy s5 and haven't been able to connect to wifi since. I tried forgetting the network, rebooting, checking power saving mode, powering up in safe mode, and I did a factory reset, but nothing worked. I can't find anything else to do. If someone could point me in the right direction or even say that I'm going to be wifi-less until I get another phone update that fixes it I'd appreciate it. This is incredibly frustrating and I don't know what else to do.

I was going to say factory reset because that works for me but try sending it back and getting a new one
will it connect and then drop the connection will WiFi not turn on because if WiFi won't turn on it could be something wrong with phone and needs to be sent back but if its not staying connected for me a factory reset usually fixes it
Thanks

I spoke with someone from Verizon and she said it must be a problem with the phone. I got a replacement sent to me. Thanks for your help
The Lollipop update is almost of phone killer. Horrible cell signal, wifi is rendered useless, battery drain x 100, and the lag.........My suggestion would have been to completely downgrade back to KitKat or install modem firmare from KitKat.

First of all wrong forum, either put this in the phiremod thread, or in general or somewhere else besides development, Do not make a thread in Development unless you are developing something.
Second of all, did you load anything new before you went to sleep, did you make any changes?

I had this happen to me twice with CM7, the only way I was ever able to fix it was by doing a full wipe and re-flashing the rom. It was not pleasant but it was the only thing that consistently fixed the problem. To make it a little less painful in the future try using the My Backup Root app from the market.

Hey nemith, thanks and thanks for all the great work you've done and are doing!
Yes, I know Airplane mode is broken, perhaps I should have been more elaborate in response to the OP in asking him to "Check that out.", meaning search. I'm guessing he inadvertently touched the setting and spazzed his wifi and if he had spent a sec to search wi-fi problems he would have found his answer and perhaps dug into settings.db and fixed it.
Then again, it might be easier for him to just re-flash.
I've had the exact same problem with CM7 stable 7.0.2.
Although it automagically disappeared when I deleted my remembered networks and all available networks showed up then.
thanks it got fix by its self then it came back after another week when i turned off wifi to save battery then i tried the airplane mode thing and then came back and it worked agian so ill just not ever turn off my wifi and get that my back up root incase i have to re flash CM7
I seem to be having the same issue with my NC, I just recovered into clockworkmod, fixed permissions, wiped the cache, then wiped the dalvik cache, then went into my wifi, "forgot" a hotspot and that solved it. It started scanning again; No reinstalling or rerooting required.
Hi guys,
this is my first time using these forums and I wouldn't have done that if the problem was easily solvable. However, this is a major problem for me and I couldn't find a thread nor a solution to it, so I'll post it here.
I have the i9305 4G version of the S3. I have had it for about a month now, and it worked fine, up until now. The phone suddenly starts to restart itself (not reboot!) for about 10 seconds, then goes back to the dashboard.
The problem seems to be the WiFi. Right after I get the "Connected to ... network" message on the bottom of the screen, the phone vibrates immensely once, then everything freezes for a few seconds, then another 2-3 vibrations, before the Samsung logo comes up with the LED light on. After a few seconds again I'm back in the dashboard until I get the "Connected to ..." message, and so on the process repeats itself.
Turning off WiFi seems to solve the issue, but once I turn it on again the problem reoccurs.
Something else I've noticed is that if I have WiFi turned off and cellular data network (for instance 4G) turned on, the "4G", "H+" etc. logo does not appear, even though I'm connected to cellular data! Don't know if it can be related to my main problem.
I have tried everything I'm aware of. Unplugging the battery, factory reset and back up, hard reset, wipe cache pertition. After the factory reset I can use WiFi again, but only for a few hours until the problem reoccured. I THINK once my battery is fully charged the problem occurs.
Note: I haven't even touched stock ROM, kernel etc. Nothing is flashed. Phone is in the same condition as when it came out of the box. Android version: JB 4.1.1
I would be forever grateful if you could help me out here, I can't have a phone restarting itself and vibrating like crazy every 10-15 seconds.
(Sorry in advance if this was the wrong place for this thread.)

UPDATE:
Seems like my issue isn't just related to Wifi. Cellular data network was actually related to my issue, as I first feared. If Wifi is turned off and cellular data turned on, the same thing happens. Seems like the issue occurs every time I try to use the internet either way.
Anyhow, if I let the phone reboot itself without turning on or off anything at all, it will reboot about 5 times until either Wifi or cellular doesn't work anymore even though the status bar tells me that it is turned on!
This seems to be a serious connectivity issue and for the first time I'm suspecting interference with the phone's wireless network hardware. If none of you are able to provider an answer, I guess I have no choice but to hand it in to get it repaired or replaced.
Still noone who has a solution to my problem?

My solution to your problem would be to just bring it to whoever you bought it from and demand a replacement. That isn't normal behaviour.
you can boot into recovery and do a factory reset and cache wipe
if wiping does not solve your problem, just return your phone.
I don't know if this is related, but, I had this issue once (the cause is not wifi though), and samsung fixed (or replaced) my phone.

I'd wipe the phone and return it. This is not normal behaviour and should fall under warranty... Wiping might fix but this may happen again if there is an inherent problem with your handset....
So i remember that i just rebooted my device and next thing i know is, wifi is stuck with 'WiFi is turning on'
Things i have tried to fix it : factory reset, hard reset and when none worked, paid a visit to lg service centre where it started working automatically. Came home, worked just fine but for 2 days.
Now it's been a week. I even flashed stock rom thinking it might be 4.4 rom issue. And nnope. Sane issue. So i guess that means is isnt software issue.
BUT here's what happens. Same modem, mother's galaxy mega2 connects, her laptop connects. I today tried connecting my phone to her phone's hotspot and it connected in first try. Confusion is, i don't know if it's modem that's faulty or phone ( idk if software or hardware )
Also, i noticed when i try to turn on wifi now, it shows no connection available and the wifi icon in drop down menu keeps blinking without being blue. I think it should just turn blue even if there if no wifi to be detected. Sometimes it stops blinking and doesnt turn blue still
It's so confusing
Any help will be much appreciated !
hi, it has almost been two years, did you fix the problem meantime?
Hi there, I had my phone for about 5 or 6 months where it was fine till recently.
The problem was that I am unable to turn the wifi on. in the main settings the slider is greyed out and a text is on screen saying turning on WIFI but it does not. it does not even show the list of networks. it quick settings it shows as searching but nothing is listed.
in the about phone settings it shows the mac address to be 02:00:00:00:00:00.
This occurred a few days ago but no new software was installed the most recent being a week before to the April security update.
I have tried multiple things such as turning on the airplane mode then off, switching phone on or off, safe mode, factory reset, wiping the cache, taking the sim out.
There has been instances where I am able to connect to a wifi network but it does not last long (few mins) except when taking the sim out which lasted about half a day. (tried again but did not work)
My phone is not rooted and has the stock rom.
There has been some research on this matter where people have done something with the presist(I think that is what it is call) folder but there was no result on it so I have not tried it due to wanted to keep the phone unrooted due to warranty concerns.
I would love some solutions in figuring out this problem.
Thank you for your time.

Have you tried performing a factory reset and flashing the factory images?

Same problem dont know what to do.... Factory reset\Flash factory img and other not helping at all...
Damn. I had the same thing with my n5. WiFi never showed up to the party. That's why I got the 6p... And the g4.... And the
This problem is exactly what happened to me also, since two days ago. I was searching for a solution and found this thread. Can anyone here who had this problem share how they fixed the issue? is it really a hardware problem?
Thanks!
I got 2 LG G2 d800 and both started not connecting to wifi, it gets stuck on "turning on wifi", both happened on the same day so I don't think its a hardware problem probably an update of Google services, anyone has the same problem and maybe a solution?

I am experiencing the same problem since yesterday. It just says Turning Wi-Fi on... and it never turns on. It happened when I had my phone charging and noticed a facebook messenger update. The wifi has turned on and worked for a while (especially after some reboots) but then it got back to doing the same thing again. I have reset my phone but it doesn't let me do a hard reset using the power and volume down keys.
Any ideas on how to solve this?
sorry to say, but its broken (99%). i had the same problem. but my luck it was i guarantee time (short before end)
regards

I have made it work for a few hours, somehow. I finally managed to figure out how to factory reset it. I did it a few times until the wifi was working completely.
I started downloading apps and it worked perfectly. Then I decided to try a reboot and the wifi when out again. The difference is that now I have a MAC address and before I didn't. It's still stuck but there's some progress, I guess.
I thought about rooting my phone, but I'm scared of ending up with a brink since I have never done it before.
Me too with my g2:
About 3 weeks that my wifi, hot spot & the stock radio app aren't working like they used to for 4 years!
Did factory reset but it didnt helped
