Wifi turns off automatically and it's impossible to make it work again without rebooting. Am I the only one with this issue?

I have a variant of this, I've tried with both the .03 and .04 radios, it's the same, so it's not the radio itself:
I lose coverage so I get the wifi icon with the exclamation mark, instead of it reconnecting automatically. Switching wifi off, then back on, allows me to use wifi again.
I'm using the NX5 AOSP ROM, 5.0R6 (LRX21T)
We all get different experiences, but it sounds like the root cause is likely the same.
Give as much information as you can (Android version, radio, which particular ROM, usage), otherwise it's impossible to understand what could be causing the issue.

The same happens on my Nexus 10 (which doesn't have a radio as far as I know) with stock rooted 5.0.
Wi-Fi delayed list...
A very annoying bug that i am facing is when i enable Wi-Fi i have to wait more than two minutes to get the Wi-Fi network list meanwhile i might get messages like "settings are not responding" also none of the new Wi-Fi networks are saved b in to saved network list, so i have to enter wpa keys again and again....

Did you do a clean install or did you just install it over your 4.4?

once you click "flash all.bat" it formats and cleans everything, so I guess I clean flashed it.

I guess I'm just wondering if these are issues are due to not starting a clean slate. I typically try to do a clean wipe of the internal NAND whenever it's a major revision change (4.4 > 5.0).
But if the bugs are persistent for those of you who did a clean install...maybe it's better to hold off for now.
I did a clean flash all as well and have the same issue where WiFi is never turned off. Wtf google. Battery was awesome right before the update

Thanks for the info. I guess I'll hold for now.
as for me, usb tether always turns of itself when i wake/turn the screen on
stock image rooted using CF
wifi works fine
Mine would lose connectivity, meander about for 30 - 60 seconds, and reconnect. I set the WiFi antenna to 2.4Ghz (from Auto) and turned off "Scanning always available" (although I doubt the latter had anything to do with it) and it's been fine ever since. This was on a clean factory install -- no root, no OTA update; pure OEM Lollipop ROM.
Whenever i go to settings > Wifi settings the phone freezes for a couple of seconds and then it crashes. This happens like 70% of the time.
Anyone else having this ?
I dont have any wifi etc problems
Only thing i have noticed so far is the recent apps bug that shows up sometimes
--------------------
Phone: Nexus 4
OS: rooted Lollipop LRX21T
Bootloader: unlocked
stock Recovery
Bluetooth tethering between nexus 4 and nexus 7 breaks every 30 mins or so.
You have to reboot to get it working again.
Decided to take the plunge. Installed lollipop. Am happy to say that I do not have this issue occuring to me though.
yup, wifi issues for me.
Notice it when I get home, my wifi will not connect and when I go to check the settings it has been turned off. So of course I try to turn it on but everything I try does not work, I am unable to get it to turn on. Only a reboot will get wifi working again.
Not happy at all about this. and a couple of other features. Now I'm wishing I never did the update. Google you have taken my expensive smart phone and turned it against me.

It could be a combination of your router and something they've changed in how Lollipop handles networking.

I have the same issue. On my Nexus 4, I just set it to 2.4 GHz only, as 5 GHz has never worked since 4.3. I can only connect if I hold the phone up to the router. On my Nexus 7 where 5GHz actually works well, I like the fact it prefers 5GHz.
I've got an annoying problem with my phone where the Wifi turns off when my phone is idle or asleep. This means my WhatsApp for Web disconnects and also my Moto Connect plays up too.
I've got the same problem at home, work and parents house so can't be an issue with all 3 networks. The keep wifi on during sleep option is set to Always before anyone mentions this to me.
Phone is running Lollipop 5.0 in the UK and is NOT rooted.
I noticed it doesn't happen when the phone is charging though.
Any ideas?
Right I've now tried changing the Sleep setting to Never but get the same problem.
Also tried connecting to the router via WPS but no luck.
Router is a Superhub 2. I've ruled out that it's the Superhub as I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini that is running fine without a single drop out.
Definitely something Moto X related.
I've also tried on both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands with same results!
Try looking within the WiFi settings on the phone. Mine has this

Sent from my HTC One using XDA Free mobile app
Mine is identical to yours other than the fact that I don't have the wifi optimization option.
Right I've just cleared the cache as instructed by Motorola support.
Still have the same problem even after clearing cache.
Ok I can confirm that the issue goes away when in safe mode.
This is starting to piss me off as I don't have any way of checking if it's an app affecting my wifi disconnections!!!
I've finally found and fixed the problem myself!!
I decided to turn my bluetooth on (even though it wasn't connected to any bluetooth devices). This seems to stop the phone from causing the wifi to go to sleep!
It seems like it's a bug in the Moto X Lollipop firmware. How do I report bugs to Motorola??
It's funny how most say it's apps that cause strange behaviour but for me it's been the actual Android firmware each time I've ever had an issue!
I hope it gets fixed soon.

It's a known bug of 5.0, and already fixed for 5.1. Source, at the "Bug fixes section".
Great that you found a workarround.
Cheers!
Manuel.
Hey glad to know it's a well known bug. The work around still doesn't work. It still keeps disconnecting all the time! Driving me mad!! If the 5.1 update doesn't fix it for me, I'll need to try and get a refund and go for something else. Shame as I really like the Moto X but I can't live with an issue as stupid as this!
I'm not sure Motorola are aware of this issue at all. See their comment below from one of their support staff I'm speaking to now:
Santhosh: We have not received any reports regarding Wi-FI issue after the Android Lollipop update but please give me a moment I will provide the solution for this issue.
His solution for the issue was to get me to do a factory reset lol. I already did this when I first got updated to Lollipop!!
Going to try doing another one now to see if it actually makes any difference. Then will install a few apps at a time or something.
I am connected to WiFi just about all of time, and I have never experienced this.
Right I've done a factory reset and started completely afresh with none of my data or apps restored. WiFi has been solid; I've not had a single drop out!
I'm going to install just a couple of apps at a time and keep an eye out if the issue comes back until I find the culprit.
Hi
My phone was perfect (until now) with the WIFI since november 2014 even after I upgraded it to 5.0
But today, it suddenly starts with this problem by itself. so I restored it to factory defaults with no luck, I installed a new firmware, and still has the bug.
So, why it shows up until now by itself without any mod, app or update?
Sorry for my English.
Today I upgraded it to 5.1 and the issue persists
I had to back to stock 4.4.4. and now my wifi has been fixed so far, working good without interruption until now.
I hope this has fix the problem from sourse, and I'll wait a few days to upgrade it again.
EDIT: Has been a month since my downgrade to 4.4.4. and my WIFI still rocks.
Just want to say that I'm having the same issue since the update to 5.1. Wifi is set to be always on during sleep, but I regularly wake up my phone only to find it connected to 4G, and switching to wifi a few seconds after waking up.
I'm on a locked bootloader (unrooted of course). I did a full reset after the update...
I'm sorry to say that I've seen more little glitches since 5.1 than anything I noticed on 5.0.
EDIT: another issue I'm having is the stock mail client not syncing saying that there is no network connection. My exchange account (push) works fine however...
Just to say the issue has started for me too since the update to 5.1.
I've done 2 factory resets but no luck trying to fix this very annoying problem.
Motorola have asked me to send my phone in for repair so I'll try that and see what happens.
I noticed that WiFi stops working on my new G4 pretty often. The WiFi icon is on, and the connection is "up", but the data transmission stops working. I see the top arrow blink (is that transmit?) but the bottom arrow doesn't come up anymore. Trying to do anything fails and times out.
To fix, turning the WiFi off and back on makes it all work again.
Anyone else experience this problem? I know @jonathan3579 reports the same issue.
I am connected to 5 Ghz using an Asus RT-N66 running Merlin firmware. I have no issues with any of my other devices.
Using the "Switch to mobile data" option helps a bit by falling back on LTE when the WiFi stops working.

Same here. Very annoying. Love the form factor of this phone
I have tried the option to switch to mobile data when WiFi unavailable, but still have issues. May just go back to my G2 running Cloudy 3 ROM .

I didn't seem to have this problem at work, so I'll monitor it again today (I just got the phone 2 days ago).

I'm having the same issue at home. I could be watching a video and suddenly stops. I don't know if it has to do something with root. I noticed it starts happening yesterday. I never had this issue and I got this phone sine 5/27 when it was released. I'll do a factory reset.

I'm not rooted and mine has done it ever since I got it (and did a factory reset before setting it up). I doubt resetting yours will fix your problem.

Are you having this issue everywhere you go or just one specific place?
I had not noticed it at work, but I only got on the WiFi yesterday for a little bit. This morning it failed on me, so, that's two for two. Haven't used it in many places.
The hotspot works great though. I tether an iPod Touch in my car automatically whenever I drive and I haven't noticed any issues there.

I'm at work and I have been watching multiples videos and no issue at all.
I just noticed this today happening to me too. =(.
Pretty great phone otherwise! Also connected 5ghz to a RT-AC68U (the T-Mobile cellspot), flashed with an older Merlin firmware.
Had to reboot to get it to behave again.
Me too
I've been having this issue too. I've noticed that I lose data and WiFi calling simultaneously. I thought it was my router because we were having issues with the router dropping phones and laptop, but now with a new router it is only my phone that is having a problem.

Running DNSet has definitely helped with keeping the data flowing, and I appreciate that.
WiFi calling is still dropping. When I look in the settings it says "enabling" and just hangs.
What internet provider do you have I'm assuming Comcast

This issue appears to be due to the 5ghz radio. I am not sure if it is software or hardware, but if you connect to the 2.4ghz band, the issue will go away.
Its most likely a issue with lollipop

Lollipop on the G4 maybe, but I have used a Nexus 6, a Moto X and a Dell Venue 7840, all running Lollipop, without issues. The G4 is the only one that has this issue. I never tested my old G3 on this network with Lollipop, I sold it before the update rolled out.
Problem fixed?

I switched to 2.4 ghz and WiFi calling appears to be staying connected. My provider is Oceanic Time Warner and my router is T-Mobile cell spot.
Fingers crossed and thanks for all the help.
Did these wifi problems start after root?
Mine were happening before root, I think. I switched to T-Mobile cell spot router right before I rooted because my old router was regularly dropping connections, and I have been paying attention more since I rooted. I am also caring for 11 month old twins, so things are kind of a blur. What I am saying is I might not be the most reliable source. I can say that switching from 5ghz to 2.4ghz seems to have solved my WiFi issue.
So I have the T-Mobile variant of the LG G4. I had it unlocked straight from the carrier a while ago and all seemed well. Recently I noticed a huge amount of battery drain and 4G LTE usage from T-Mobile's pre-installed apps--mainly com.tmobile.pr or something which is the "My Account" app (imagine being at 60% left with 27% of the drain having been an app and only 9% the screen. Yeah, it was that bad)
This I obviously found unacceptable, so I went ahead to try and uninstall the bloatware. Lo, much to my dismay, Tmobile has locked it down so you can't uninstall the bloatware, and you can only disable it. This alone irked me enough that I wasn't satisfied with just a disabling. I knew I wouldn't rest until I had obliterated it.
I've had plenty of android phones over the years and done my fair share of rooting and flashing ROMs and the like, but I hadn't touched that aspect of my G4 because I wanted a dependable device for school and I didn't want to mess around with it. I knew I'd have to root it to get rid of the tmobile bloatware so I went and did that using the Low effort root method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/root-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765). When this was done a lot of my background processes started to continuously crash. I decided to go ahead and put TWRP as the custom recovery and just go ahead and get some dependable 6.0 ROM, and I found a couple of them.
When I flashed the first ROM, the play store services were crashing so I found the google apps package for marshmallow and flashed that too. It seemed to fix the issue. Yet when I would click on my School's WiFi at the setup (which is WPA2 Enterprise) it would crash and say "Unfortunately WiFi has stopped working." I thought that perhaps I mucked something up in the flashing of the ROM, or that maybe there was an issue with the ROM in general, so I decided to just flash another ROM entirely (after factory resetting it all the way). Along the same time as this I found a slightly more modified and feature packed version of marshmallow by this lad here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/h815-genisys-rom-1-0-classic-v10g-t3192649). I decided to go ahead and use this one since it had a h811 version there, that involved flashing a h815 and then flashing a patch.
The "Unfortunately WiFi stopped working" issue persisted, however. I found this odd. I then noticed that if I click any other network that ISN'T the WPA2 enterprise network my school is working that everything seems to work fine.
I went ahead and factory reset it all the way again in the hopes that would fix it. No luck.
I booted it to safe mode and tried to connect to the WiFi network from there. No luck.
I downloaded a third party WiFi app off cellular and tried to connect from there. No luck.
I can't enter the WiFi's name and try to enter directly because it crashes there too.
I can't "Forget" the network as it's never joined that network before so there's nothing to forget. It does let me enter the advanced options but a direct press causes it to crash.
So throughout ROMs and wipes and safe modes and all, this one issue has persisted, where my phone's WiFi will crash when it tries to connect to my school's WPA2 Enterprise network. I've tried plentiful fixes short of flashing back to a 5.0/5.11 stock (which I'm hesitant to do because I read something about phones bricking after they downgrade from Marshmallow using the .kdz files or something?).
I'd really appreciate any help that y'all can provide. I've read these forums for ages but this will be my first time making an account because I can't find anybody else with the same issue and its proving to be quite a pain.
tl;dr wifi isn't working with only one particular network and no fix I've tried under this sun has worked so far. help will be appreciated pls
Have you tried flashing this rom here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/development/rom-g4-h811-xtreme-rom-v1-0-7-28-15-t3167667
I am using this one here and I have no issues using wifi. I cannot speak for the 6.0 roms because LG has not dropped the sources for the Tmo variant yet.

I got the brown leather variant from Tmobile and it only says H811 as far as I can tell. Not sure of if its the "n" version or not.
I have not tried that rom but ill be sure to give it a go, hoping it will help solve the issue. I did some additional testing and can confirm the issue lies with all WiFi networks that employ WPA2 Enterprise security.
Will there be any issue with the Rom when downgrading from Android 6.0? I was reading about phone's bricking when trying to downgrade certain versions or bootloaders on the tmobile variants.
I'm pretty sure going back to stock 5.1 will be fine. The Tmo variant hasnt been upgraded to 6.0 yet and the ports don't update the bootstacks. Read here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/development/global-marshmallow-6-0-port-to-h811-t3232760
Update: It seems that any Android 6.0 flash cuts off the ability to connect to Enterprise wireless networks. I went ahead and flashed to the debloated stock rom on the thread you mentioned, but it cut off the ability to record video. As such, I went for the xTreme version that you mentioned, and flashed the camera restores and all.
Everything works fine now as far as I can tell. I also got rid of the Tmobile applications draining the battery and all that. All should be well. Thanks again for the help
I have a Moto X ver 5.1 developer edition that I've recently rooted just yesterday. I installed some apps from Chainfire, but the one in particular I want to talk about is Pry-Fi.
I suspect that this app could had done it because the day before my phone was behaving fine while both WiFi and the app running at the same time but today was different.
What I did differently was that I decided to start Pry-Fi before turning on my Wi-Fi and that's when the trouble happened and the WiFi option to turn it on is greyed-out.
I'll sorry that this doesn't really make much sense, but it's where I'm at now.
Do anyone else have a similar problem that's willing to help? Thank you!
UPDATE: I did a wipe on my phone and didn't fix the problem. At least, I know it's a more internal issue.
UPDATE_2: I fixed the problem,I just re-flashed the stock ROM if anyone cared. lol I did find out that it was Pry-Fi that ****ed my WiFi, don't know specifically what had happened but I do know that Pry-Fi was connected.
