I'm on the stock 4.3 rom just released several weeks for Sprint. I never turned on the wifi scan as Google now always asked for when my wifi is turned off. So I saw that card and thought to give that a try. Then for the whole morning, can't connect to wifi. I finally remember I turned on that feature(in Settings->location->wi-fi scanning always available) and after I clear that(uncheck) and I was able to get IP immediately. I was like, WHAAAT?

Last week, I decided to finally unlock, root, and flash a custom ROM onto my Sprint HTC One. I started with the LiquidSmooth 3.0 Beta, which I really like, but encountered some issues with the WiFi connection.
Essentially, my WiFi connection will, at various times, stop working. When this happens, my phone still shows as being connected to the WiFi AP. Sometimes, I can get my data working again by turning WiFi off and then back on. Other times, after turning my WiFi off, it will refuse to connect to anything when I turn WiFi back on. At this point, I have to reboot my phone to get WiFi working again. Once, the WiFi started working again about 3-4 after I had noticed it wasn't working.
The WiFi generally seems to work best at home, where I have just 1 AP the phone connects to, though it will still sometimes freeze. It is much worse at work, where there are multiple APs as you move throughout the building. When the phone was using stock, the WiFi would usually take a minute or so to regain data when moving between different areas of the building, but now it usually just never regains connection. The notification will show that it is connected, but with 0 signal strength.
Looking around, I've seen that some other people have had similar situations. I tried the solution of renaming my device in the WiFi Direct settings. This seemed to make the WiFi work a little better at home, but no different at work. Some other people said they flashed a newer radio, but I seem to have the latest radio on my phone. And this issue is not related purely to LiquidSmooth. I tried out the SlimKat ROM and encountered the same WiFi problems.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I'm on university wi-fi. I think it's 802.1x, requiring username/domain and password. Which kinda sucks cause Chromecast doesn't work. But anyway, just about every time I turn the screen on, the wi-fi appears connected, but YouTube and facebook just give loading spinners and I think eventually time out. I have to switch the wi-fi off and on again to get the wi-fi to actually work properly. I don't have the same problem with my laptop, so I'm thinking it's a problem with my Note 3. I'm using rooted NB4 if that makes a difference. Any ideas?
Hello!
I finally did the upgrade to the Urbane rom to get Wifi working but I dont understand what is going on.
I followed the steps on the OP exactly as described.
I see that under Wifi, it can connect to Wifi network at work that my phone is also connected to.
Still if I walk far from my phone, it loses connection and the Wifi is not allowing me to keep that connection as I expected.
Am I missing something here?
Have you turned on cloud sync in the Androidwear settings.
(5.1.1) I was on wifi at home. I headed out and have been on mobile data for most of the day. I went for a coffee and my wifi won't work. Tried turning the phone off and airplane mode.
When I click Wifi it says it's on with no networks available. I click More settings and it says Turning Wifi on, but doesn't.
I'd rather not reset the phone, any ideas? Thanks.
yea, reboot your phone.

I had that symptom once, while waiting in a doctor's office. Shutting down and booting back up solved it, but this was a few OTA builds ago (i.e., I'm currently stock, lazy me).
Perhaps delete/forget your current WiFi connections and retry?

My connections don't even show up. I'm gonna let the battery run flat and then try... if not, then reset phone.
I let my battery die, my phone turned itself off after about 4% remaining. 10 hours later and when you hit the power button , it shows the low battery warning, but won't turn on.
So, the battery wasn't completely dead. I needed my phone, I plug it in to charge... And WiFi!!!!!!
Just updated to lmy48m... no wifi again. YAY!!! <_<
I'm having this exact problem w/ my WiFi, and I'm now suddenly getting the "!" appearing ever since updating to LMY48M.
i've been having this problem with build LYZ28J & LYZ28K randomly wifi would stop working. i'd reboot my phone and it would work again then it stoped, so i called Tmo got a replacement this time it took a few days and happened again this time i called Google and they called Motorola they had me wipe cache while i was on build LYZ28J and it worked... then i got the LYZ28K update then 3 days later this morning wifi stoped working again. So i figured doing a cache wipe would work again, but it didn't so i backed up everything and booted into recovery and wiped the phone thinking it would work but that did... still shows Wi-Fi toggle off and says turning on Wi-Fi. Called Tmo again they told me to take it to astore anfd get it diagnosed but im going to call google and see whats up. anyone have any luck getting this fixed ?
I'm also having this problem. Stock 5.1.1
Well I get my replacement phone today let's see if this issue happens I'm going to set it up as a new device.
I had the same problem. I've had pretty terrific success disabling Google Connectivity Service, which I think is somehow related to Project Fi. I went into apps, force stop, disable. Since then, I haven't had to reboot my phone. Before that, I was rebooting, toggling airplane mode, etc.
It's not 100% better though. I have had to toggle airplane a few times. But it's been much less frequent than before.
Suddenly happened today, probably the second time ever. No WiFi saved networks, couldn't locate signals, etc.
Rebooted the phone, everything fine again.
Odd.

I can not connect at all to my work's wifi where I have to enter my AD username and password, just can't connect. It worked mostly fine before Andorid 6.0
It is flaky on regular WPA2 wifi too at home, sometimes have to toggle the wifi or even reboot.
Wifi on the Nexus with Android 6.0 is poor to junk basically.
Hi everyone. I have an N7000, on stock 4.1.2. I've had the phone for several months now, and a few days ago rooted it using Philz-CWM6 method. I got root successfully, and had no real issues.
Last night, the battery drained fully, and the phone shut down. This morning I charged it up, and immediately noticed issues with the wi-fi. What happens specifically is when the phone first boots up, wi-fi works fine, I can browse the net, use any services that rely on network access, everything. After a short period of time, around 5 minutes at the most, I'm no longer able to access the internet, though the device is still connected to my home network, still has an IP, and can be pinged from another computer connected to the same network. If I turn my wi-fi off and then back on, it works about 50% of the time, but even then, only for a minute or two before it drops again.
I'm not too sure what the issue could be, it's not solely a DNS issue, as apps which don't rely on DNS, such as IRC don't work either. I've tried assigning the phone a static IP from the router, confirmed that there's no power saving options enabled for wi-fi on the phone, and rebooted both the phone and router several times with no luck.
Would anyone have any ideas where I could go from this point?
Went ahead and used Odin to restore back to the stock firmware, got rid of the root, cwm, and the yellow triangle in the process. Set it up as a completely fresh device, and the issue still persists. Tried it on both my home network and a public hotspot, and both produce the same results. After several minutes of use I'm no longer able to access the internet, but all the settings show me as still connected to the network, however when I try to ping the device from another computer on the network, it times out.
Really at a loss for what to do at this point. Would anyone have any ideas?
