I recently followed instructions from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s6/development/g920aucu2aof3-to-of4-flashfire-update-t3181135. All is well besides wifi will not auto connect after a reboot. Once rebooted, it takes about 10-15 seconds for wifi to turn on and requires to manually connect to a network. Once connected, it stays connected until a reboot. I have searched and came up with nothing related to this. Thanks for any insight.
I just had the same problem and to fix it i had to edit my build prop. You just need to change something from true to false or vice versa.If you still need directions let me know and ill post how to do and what to do.Its a very simple fix

Sorry forgot about posting till now. You need to edit your build prop. I'll attach a screenshot of what you need to edit. You just need to change from true to false and reboot. You should only have to put the passwords in 1 more time and then they will stay. If you need anymore help let me know.
Just what I needed, Thanks!

I have not been able to turn on wifi reliably for ages now - It all started when I upgraded to WM5. Now (even if I downgrade to wm2003se) I cannot turn it on. I press the wifi on button, the cursor comes up but nothing happens), leave it for a couple of hours, and then press again - it will sometimes turn on. It then stays on for about 30 mins, and turns off (I have the wifi set to never turn off).
I cannot diagnose the problem - can you?
Any help GREATLY appreciated - feel free to ask for more details.

I have exactly the same problem with Xplode's WM5 Rom. My solution is to perform a soft reset and turn it on then which (mostly) works. I would love to find the answer to this one as it is annoying ...
If you're using the conn manager to turn on the wifi that probably won't work. Try going to wireless properties and turn on the wifi from there. It works for me.

It's well documented in baniaczek's latest WM5 ROM. You all would've known if you took the time to read throughly.
Turn on WiFi: Do it only once after soft reset. This procedure will load WiFi driver into system drivers. Start Comm Manager. Select from menu: Settings/WLANsettings. Tap "Turn on WLAN". If there are any WiFi networks available - device will try to connect to. Provide proper parameters (network name, authentication, encryption, keys etc). Probably device would not connect. Go back to "Comm Manager". Turn WiFi off. Since that use only Comm Manager to turn WiFi on and off. There is easy way to recognize if it is required to load WiFi driver, or it is enough to turn on. Look at todays wireless plugin. If there is listed WiFi in any state - there is no need to load driver tapping "Turn on WLAN". Resolving this issue is not easy.

Yes, I have tried this, but there is no WiFi in any state in my today screen. I have tried downloading the program from teksoftco.com, but it only works to turn bluetooth/phone on and off.
I cannot turn WiFi on and off by following baniaczek's tutorial. He says that "Resolving this problem is not easy", but does not go into it. Can you provide more info?

I have successfully flashed my phone with the CyanogenMod-4.2.4 rom, enabled WIFI and can browse the internet.
BUT, when I try to activate my Gmail through the activation wizard with WIFI enabled I get the following error message: “Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server.”
I am using a T-Mobile pre-paid account, which means I don't have a data plan, so activation over WIFI is my only option.
Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Frustrating is more like it. I have spent days search this forum and the web for an answer.
I started out with CyanogenMod-4.2.3 installed and I thought that might have been the problem so last night I flashed 4.2.4 and still have the same problem.
I can browse the internet so I have a hard time believing it is a connection problem. I did come across a post earlier this week where someone was having issues with his WPA2 connection. Later today I will change the connection type and see if that fixes the problem.
If you can think of anything else I might try that would be great.
Thanks for the quick reply.

I changed my WIFI settings to WEP and WPA but still got the same error. Any more suggestions would be great.
The problem is probably due to gapps failing
keep trying and maybe it will go through

I finally got it to work and for those who may run across this thread with the same issue here what I did:
I ran across a thread on a different forum that stated the reason I was having the problem was because I skipped the initial activation process when the phone was first turned on. Well with CM4.2.4 and other rooted roms there is an option to skip the initial activation process, which I did.
So I went back and reread the other threads about how to activate your phone over wifi and they all state the same thing, you will need root access, which allows you access to execute debug commands from your PC to control your phone.
So I did a hard reset and re-flashed CM4.2.4. Then after I rebooted my phone I followed the instruction on this thread http://modmygphone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9471 to turn on the wifi. Once the wifi was on I disconnected my phone from my computer and proceeded to activate it, which worked like a charm.
Hi, everyone. When I turn on my wifi, it seems like it tries to scan; but it does not find a network, even if I'm just a few feet away from the router. This only began this morning, and I don't get any error message. What makes things worse is that if the screen goes to sleep with the wifi on, then the phone becomes completely unresponsive and I have to pull the battery.
I've tried several things already, and even factory reset and flashing back to root did not help. Has anybody else experienced this problem?
BTW, I'm this happened when I was on Continuum 6.1, if this helps.
I'd really appreciate any guidance you could give me. Thank you so much, in advance.
Could be your WiFi antenna some how got damaged, you may try to get a replacement
just my 2 cents

Here's a free app from the Market that might get you back in business, 'FXR Wifi fix and rescue'
It's helped clear up a couple of issues I've had in the past. Hope it helps!
If you are rooted:
Delete file data/wifi/bcm_supp.conf
Delete file /data/misc/dhcp/dhcp_list
reboot the device and it will create these files again and you will have to enter your WiFi password again in order to connect.
Hope this helps..

I've been having some wifi issues with my phone as well and haven't been able to nail down the problem yet. I tried looking for the files you mentioned but none were there. What I did find was:
/data/misc/dhcp/dhcpcd-eth0.lease
/data/misc/dhcp/dnsmasq.leases
and didn't even have a data/wifi folder, let alone the bcm_supp.conf file.
Do I need to manually add these files or copy them from somewhere? I've rebooted, I've deleted all wifi networks then rebooted again, still the phone doesn't generate these files. Any ideas?
It would be helpful to know what Rom you're currently using. If it's any of the Gingerbread Roms it is a known issue. Usually toggle airplane mode remedies it.

Probably the permission issue?? Can you do the chown to the /data folder?? I am just guessing..

I'm using CM7 build 57, Glitch kernel v11, and root explorer. Not sure how much more permissions I can get.
Also in reply to Rhiannon, how does putting it in airplane mode help? Curious
Before everyone starts pointing me to the router - its not the router. I was able to connect to my router both at home and at work, but because I was having some other issues, I had to do a factory reset.
Now, I cannot connect to the wifi. I keep getting the message "Obtaining IP address ..." and nothing changes. I have searched high and low for a solution for this problem but I cant seem to get anywhere.
I am running Froyo stock, but before I did a factory reset, I rooted my phone with the SuperOneClick application. Now, I still have the Super User app after factory reset.
So - to reiterate - I have run the factory reset and I am currently have Froyo on my Captivate. However, once I did that, I am no longer able to connect to the internet.
Can anyone please help me figure out how I can get help connecting to Wifi again? It would be very much appreciated.

Well yes, but the problem is - it happens at EVERY wifi location and I cant feasibly go around asking everyone to reboot their router.
And another bit of information is - if I assign a static IP, my phone shows that it is connected but I cant navigate anywhere on the browser and the Market says that there is no connection.
Hopefully then that thread will help...

The dhcpcd change didnt help ... is there anything else you can suggest for me?
Try a new ROM?
Hello,
Today I have bought a Moto X.
I can't set it up because it doesn't want to connect to my wifi.
I have restarted my router and my phone countless times.
I have turned off the firewall on my router.
I have cleaned the cache on my phone.
But I am still having problems.
When I tap on the network I want to join and tap on "Connect" nothing happens, I get no error messages, nothing!
The connection bar just goes from 4 bars to 1 bar and after a second back to 4. (I am sitting next to my router.)
Sometimes, it says it's connecting but it stops after a few seconds.
The phone has Android 4.4.4
Can someone hlep me please? Thanks!

Much more info....rooted? unlocked? which variant?
If rooted, use root explorer or similar to browse to /persist and tell us what files you have inside...
Lots of people have borked their /persist partitions and this prevents WiFi from working...
Or it could be a hardware failure. Only step-by-step troubleshooting will give any insight into this, but need additional info.

Thank you for your answer.
I have not rooted the phone.
It's an unlocked model.
I think my router is having problems because I am at my sisters house
and I can connect to their wifi without any problems.

Good deal! I'd say you have your answer. Try resetting your router (should be a reset button on back). Aside from that, contact the manufacturer or replace the router...we can't really help with router troubleshooting here.
Good Luck!
