Wifi keeps forgetting wpa-psk password...

Every time my phone can't connect to Wi-Fi for whatever reason (reason being signal too low for example, NOT wrong password), it forgets the stored password. How to fix this? This is driving me crazy.
anyone? noone has this problem?
Sometimes when I am on my girlfriends wireless, which uses wpa, my device will forget the password mid session. So I will be happily browsing and all of a sudden it asks for the password again...
Is that your problem? Or different?

[Problem] V28G WIFI Problem

I have flashed V28G a few days ago and I found a small bug about wifi.
My home wifi has disabled the broadcast of SSID and I use the wifi provided in my university using 802.1x method.
When I turn on wifi on phone in school, although the SSID has been stored, the phone cannot automatically connect to that SSID.
I need to remove all my SSID stored and rescan the wifi network. After that, everything is normal.
Is there any workaround for this problem/bug?

Download and Install from Market WiFix manager using 3G, then change country code to where you live, then reboot .

Real fix for the problem with V28E&V28G is deleting every saved SSID from your wlan list and make them again.
That is caused by buggy google "recovery" about access points with V28E&V28G

Does anybode was another solution for that?
Is very anoying make this everytime we want to conect to a wlan with a special protection...
It should work normally after you once remove & reinstall all SSID:s from the list.
I just discovered that if I remove the SSID of WPA2 encryption, it can connect to SSID using 802.1x automatically!
So now I don't need to remove ALL SSID and them again.

Wifi problem: Obtaining IP address... never connects

I recently restored a backup of my AMCHA 4.4.4 rom (from p.a.n's CM13) and I can now not connect to any wifi network. It always sits on Obtaining IP address. If I select static IP and enter the details I can connect but not by using DHCP. Is there any way to fix/reset my wifi settings?
Thanks

Hi,
You should try several thnings:
1. In WIFI settings, forget your WIFI network and connect again
Or
2. Fix permissions of the file below using a root explorer app. Set 'read' and 'execute' for "user" and "group'" (and also maybe "others" if no luck)
system/etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-run-hooks
Then reboot the phone and try to connect to WIFI
Or
3. Reset your router

I have a wifi problem too, whenever I try to connect to it, it says saved. It doesn't even try to obtain an ip.
tried flashing stock multiple times but nothing worked. it's not a router problem as I changed my router and tried with multiple wifi networks, same thing is happening. dhcpcd-run-hooks already has read and execute for user & group. tried other but still doesn't work.
I think I messed up with the wifi settings using the xposed module "Phone ID changer" as when I try it launch it now, Advertising ID, wifi MAC and Wifi SSID is unavailable. The app can't assign a random one. I don't have a nandroid backup, my SD card got corrupted a while ago and I lost all my backups.
Do you know how to fix it?

I already had your issue a few times but after forgetting the network and connect to it again, problem was solved.... It seems to not be your case.
If you also have the problem with every router you can try (Wifi at home, at work, from a friend, etc.), it means the problem is your phone.
If you already tried all 3 suggestions of my post without luck and if you think something is messed up in WIFI settings, it means flashing official firmware + FULL WIPE should fix your issue.
If it's not the case, you should:
- Google a bit more (although I'm pretty sure you aleady did that...) because that's what I'm doing right now to help you.
- Ask yourself if it's not a hardware issue?
Sorry if I don't help much more. I really hope you will find the culprit :fingers-crossed:
Thanks for the suggestions, still can't get it to work on any network.
I wanted to avoid a full wipe, but i guess I'll give it a go. Cheers!

Brand new X4 won't accept long WiFi password

Trying to connect a brand new 8.0 X4 and set it up on a Netgear router with a long password, f27b6794e4ee160fdc6b51edf4cea072fcac6419eda404aa7e2260ef49568cc6, WPA2 encryption. But, the phone won't accept the long password.
Any ideas?
Thats a long password wow.
Shorten the wifi password?
Perhaps the space in the password is the issue?

Can't connect to any Wi-Fi, wrong password always

I have saved several Wifi networks in my phone, and couple weeks ago I noticed that my phone cannot connect to them anymore. I tried forgetting the network, and entering it again, and after entering the right password with the correct encryption (WPA2), it always says that password is wrong. These Wifi networks did not change their passwords, also I can connect to them using my other phone (Huawei P8 Lite) or laptop. I've double-checked the passwords and am sure I enter the right ones. Any ideas what's happening?
