Late edit:
It seems that a crowded wifi channel caused this.

Hello guys,
I have wiped my phone, and tried many, many roms, mostly Darky and Docs roms over the last year, and ALL of them have this wifi bug where sometimes my phone connects to a wifi, and other times I have to restart my phone and only then will it connect.
When it does not connect it says Turning on.... then says Error. I press again, it says Turning on again etc. Occasionally it connects eventually after I try again and again, but usually I have to restart the phone first.
Does anyone know why this is and what to do to fix it. It is very frustrating, especially when in front of an iphone fundementalist.
Help much appreciated!

i have this same problem
a fix would be so nice.
try different router.
if you have tried different Rom and kernel then it can't be that.
only your router or phone is bad.
**DamianGTO Steam kernel. 350MB Ram. 500HZ. all ext2. Steam Rom. Js5**
i find this problem is app specific. if i connect before anything is open its fine. if i open a 3rd party browser in edge data mode then switch to wifi while loading a page this error occurs sometimes. tested with 3 different routers and one sgs phone dxjpe modem

I get the error too. The only fix I found was to enter flight mode and then turn on wireless and then exit flight mode.

AAH I will try that!
It is not the router, I have the issue on every router I have tried. Ive also verified that Static IP and Dynamic makes NO difference at all to this problem.
I'll report back on the flight mode work-around... a lot faster than rebooting, cheers,
Mark.
Anyone know a fix for this bug?
Gad, at times like this I envy my wife's iphone, which JUST WORKS. My SGS has been spared me smashing it to bits out of frustration on several occasions...
I tried the flight mode suggestion, it does not work. The only thing that works is restarting the phone... which takes ages and Launcherpro has to be forced shut then restarted, media scanned etc etc... and only THEN can I try the wifi again, so its not a viable work-around.
Anything else to try ?

Hi
Darkys alternative wifi does not fix the problem. But my problem is not exactly like yours, my phone generally stays connected when it connects, where your connection stops working. Mine only becomes impossible to connect without rebooting sometimes. Occasionally it seems switching from STATIC to DYNAMIC or DYNAMIC to STATIC IP jiggs the phone's wifi somehow, and it then works, but often it just says Turning on... and nada!
Yep, a fix is desperately needed.

Hello
Having the same problem here. But let's just clarify. At least for me, and from the OP's description, the problem is NOT wifi not being able to connect. It is Wifi NOT TURNING ON at all. Takes a LOONG while with "turning on" and then "error" appears. Sometimes trying over and over again will fix it. Sometimes a full reboot, which as someone stated, is a royal pain.
Get this quite frequently. Doesn't bother me too much because it always works after the second time I turn it on (in the settings not in notifications) when it shows "Error".
Couple of things you could try:
Turn off Notifications under WiFi settings
Turn off Use Wireless Networks under Location & Security settings
My Wifi became a bit stable after this.
You could also try static ip addresses.
Had it happen last night. Went into task manager, killed everything that uses internet and retried it. It turned on immediately. Will test more to see if this is indeed a fix. It's still annoying enough, though.

I have this problem for over 6 months. Any fixes anyone????
Maybe its a harware bug. I may take it into a Samsung Store
This still happens to me too...any fix? Is this hardware or something?
Had this issue when I was using SuperPower App where it takes control of the Wifi sleep. Removed it and never had it again. Any one of you using some sort of battery saver taking control of WIFI?
Same problem here
Same problem here on stock 2.2.1 ROM. Like others already mentioned, my problem is getting the WiFi to turn on. Once it is on, it's problem free, but turning it on sometimes takes minutes to only get an error. Mostly trying again, turns it on quickly. But this afternoon I tried three times without succes. Than, after reading a lot of forum discussions on this problem (we are not alone...), I tried turning off packet data and then WiFi turned on in seconds. This suggests that apps having an internet connection open could cause the problem. It also suggests that icejagans is right by stating to turn the phone into flight mode might resolve the problem. I am not running any battery saver, task killer or whatsoever that could cause this problem. Last Saturday I even did a factory reset to see if that helped, but no, it didn't... Getting really annoyed by this problem and I hope 2.3 will fix it!
Bumb!
Please does anyone have a fix for this? Does flashing a different modem help?
When this happens, I go to Allshare app and enable wireless (when asked), it always works
So I just lived out a nightmare trying to figure out how to ' reverse tether' so I can use my cable internet while at home and not waste my data. I Finally get it working with connectify and virtual router only to discover that I get dropped frequently and sometimes can't even reconnect with a reboot of my phone and/or pc. unfortunately I haven't been able to test it on wifi anywhere else cuz there isn't much around. Can I get some advice in things to check/change on my phone (modem?) That might keep me connected? My girlfriend has an htc and she doesn't get dropped so it's something with my phone. I'm running 2.2.1 that came with serendipity 5.11. Nobody has issues with wifi that I could find in the serendipity thread so I'm at a loss.
Thanks a bunch

Did u try flashing to stock, and re-flashing the ROM u have on urs?
Actually, no. guess I should give that a shot. Does the modem affect wifi or no?

modem absolutely affects Wifi
I read somewhere on here that ths modem doesn't affect wifi. But them someone else said they thought it did. Do I want sure. I haven't had a chance to reflash yet but here is some additional info on my problem..
I seem to get dropped when my phone has been idle for a while. Like right now I am connected but when I am done writing this and I set my phone down itll be disconnected when I come back to it 9 out of 10 times. I got dropped just before writing this in the same way. I connected, set my phone down, came back maybe 15 minutes later and I was disconnected. I was on connectify at the time and couldn't reconnect. I closed connectify and launched virtual router which I am connected with now. Changing the tether program doesn't always work. Sometimes I have to restart my phone too. I have a feeling I need to look into a different modem.

Title pretty much says it all, everytime I turn wifi on, it tells me it's turning on then after a while it'll say disconnecting, then turning off and repeat teh cycle. I have tried restarting, I am rooted but it had this problem before root. Also, please dont just respond "take it to verizon" cuz they won't like my root.

Sounds like a hardware problem. Has it ever worked?
Network issue? It might have a limited connectivity situation going on and trying to continuously authenticate with your router.
have your checked router settings?

Yeah, it used to work fine, could it be an app I downloaded, or some superuser privelages messing it up? My phone used to freeze regulrly when too many apps requested superuser privs. No sure if same issue...

Is it possible to try connecting to a different network and see what happens? My D3 did the same thing and it turns out I just needed to reboot my router. I figured it out by going up to Starbucks where the phone connected just fine.
Definitely hardware. I had the same problem on my previous stock droid 3. Just went out one day. Took it to verizon and they sent me a replacement. Unroot and get a new one.
Also, gps stopped working around the same time. I wonder how widespread faulty hardware is now considering a lot of people with gps problems and if they might see wifi failing soon..
Since the update to 4.4.4 my phone sometimes refuses to connect to any networks.
Even my home network that normally works fine.
I notice that when the problem occurs, WiFi refuses to turn off.
When trying to manually connect to a stored network, it asks again for the password. But even if I enter the correct password, it still won't connect.
After rebooting the phone, everything is OK again for a couple of days, and then the problem starts again.
Does anyone experience the same problem, and does anyone have a fix?
Thanks
Marc

may b u need to repair your phone using PCC. or visit service center. but they will do the same.
also take backup of everything u need
You Can factory reset your phone or Reflash phone using flashtools or update service
For some strange reason, the problem does not occur as often anymore.
I'll leave it be for now...
Rebooting the phone every 2 weeks is not that big of a problem...
My phone hanged while I was watching youtube, it restarted, and when I tried to open my wifi, it does not work anymore, it can be turned on but it will not detect my wifi in the house. I can still use my bluetooth and data but I can't use my wifi function. Is there a solution via software, or is this an IC problem in my internals in the phone? I feel useless using this phone because I can't use my wifi, its hard using data everytime because it is costly. I already reformat my phone but still my wifi won't function. Hope someone can give me a solution to my problem. Thank you.
Did you charge your phone while watching yt? Charging cause heat and that was the problem for your motherboard. The wifi ic dead issue affect many Mi11's unfortunately.

I was not charging while watching youtube. i was on an aircon environment also. it just hanged and then restart, and I noticed that my wifi was off, so i turned it on, and that was the time that it did not detect my wifi anymore.

It's probably fried but we could check with a dumpstate board to be sure. If you want to get one:
You can get one from going in system info, all specifications and press a bunch of time on CPU, it will start a backup. Once the backup is done go into internal storage/MIUI/debug_log.
You will see a bug report zip, extract it then you will get another file called bugreport-venus..Inside you will find a dumpstate_board.txt...Copy it out and open it.
With a text editor search for the word VOLATILE, copy from platform init to chargelib
Do this.
Settings.
Connections and Sharing.
Under the heading Other
Tap Reset WiFi, Mobile Networks, and Bluetooth.
Tap Reset.
This will delete all network related setting, including access points, WiFi networks and Bluetooth pairing, clear the cache related to these settings and reboot your phone.
Try again to connect to the network.
If this doesn't work. Try a complete factory reset. If not, your motherboard is fried.
i hate to be the bearer of bad news but i've suffered from a similar issue a month or so ago and odds are ur motherboard is fried, its a common issue with Mi 11 unfortunately.
