I just finished a clean flash of Lineage OS kitkat from milaq and the wifi settings is stuck on "Turning WiFi on". The MAC address in listed at "Unavailable" under Status.
Diving deeper, I got terminal working and see the following from netcfg:
Code:
lo UP 127.0.0.1/8 0x00000049 00:00:00:00:00:00
dummy0 DOWN 0.0.0.0/0 0x00000082 42:6e:b7:fa:06:25
sit0 DOWN 0.0.0.0/0 0x00000080 00:00:00:00:00:00
ip6tnl0 DOWN 0.0.0.0/0 0x00000080 00:00:00:00:00:00
wlan0 UP 0.0.0.0/0 0x00001003 00:1d:fe:eb:a1:c9
A kernel module is present at /system/lib/modules/ath6kl.ko while dmesg logs the driver as working (I think) and one suspicious message:
Code:
ath6kl: temporary war to avoid sdio crc error
ath6kl: ar6003 hw 2.1.1 sdio fw 3.2.0.144 api 3
ath6kl: firmware supports: sched-scan,sta-p2pdev-duplex,rsn-cap-override
Code:
wlan0: link is not ready
I originally suspected a driver issue, but now I wonder if Android is not using the right interface. What can I do to check if Android is using wlan0?
I have read about reloading the kernel module which I haven't tried yet. ifconfig doesn't return any messages and ifconfig wlan0 reports:
Code:
wlan0: Cannot assign requested address
Appreciate any pointers as to which area to focus my debugging.
Did you resolve your issue? I am having similar issue and would like to elaborate and hopefully get some help here:
I have been using the HP TouchPad since fall of 2011, loaded CM9 in 2012 and worked perfectly since until about a month ago, wireless stopped working (will not even bring up any wireless network), just stuck on "turning wifi on".
Browse forum, tried many solutions like removing /data/misc/wifi & DHCP etc, nothing works.
Loaded a few different ROM, a couple of them after initial reboot was able to access wifi, then after a day or so, it will stop working, yesterday, decided to try loading 7.1.x using instructions here, after loading kitkat 4.4, again, wifi worked for a while, then this morning it stopped and stuck on "turning wifi on" again, continue upgrade to Evervolv 7.1.x successfully, unfortunately, again, wifi is stuck on "turning wifi on".
Reason why I kept trying and not chalk it up as HW issue is that wifi connected perfectly in WebOS, it stays on for days and never lose connection after Android OS started to have issue, nothing on Router (Netgear R7000 on DD-WRT) setup has been changed in last year, all other 11+ wireless devices work fine.
Can one of the expert kind soul here shed some light and help me with this? Really puzzle me..., this will be my last hope before finally giving up on it.
Thanks
My hp touchpad started one week ago to fail to detect any wifi. It is supposed to be searching, but don't find any wifi.
I have checked the wifi with webOs and it works.
I am running Lineage too.
I have installed CM12 and now wifi works again properly.
I'm afraid I will have to come back to this old version
I'm having the same issue with wifi never turning on. WEbOS has no problem connecting but I've tried many different versions and combinations of Android but none of them work. Some above seem to have had a connection and then lost it but my TouchPad would never turn on wifi after I installed android. I've also tried several different suggestions I've found on the internet but none of them have worked. About a year ago, I tried different versions of KitKat and now I tried another version of KitKat that is supposed to be the most stable but still no luck. Can anyone help? Is there a solution to this problem?
Thanks,

Hi everyone,
I was driving from Wash DC to Montreal about 3 weeks ago. Once I got to Syracuse NY my N1 just froze. I took off the battery and then it wouldn't boot. ( I was running frf50 + froyo radio since the first day it was leaked). I thought maybe a routine wipe would fix it. It didn't work. I was out of options and had to wait until I get to montreal to use a laptop and see whatsup. Once in Montreal I downloaded a Rordriguez Froyo and the phone booted up. Now the problem started. Wifi doesn't work. Whenever I turn it on it says unable to scan for networks and then another error pops up saying " Sorry! Activity wifi settings (in application settings) is not responding." I tried a million different roms and radios and the problem persists... Yesterday I flashed another froyo rom and wifi worked and actually connected to my home WLAN. Then suddenly it stopped working again... Can anybody help me? this is so frustrating, especially since I have only 2 bars of EDGE in my basement. I think it might be the Wifi driver that is causing all this. If somebody can link me with the Wifi driver I might be able to fix this problem...
Thanks!
PS: All radio related stuff work ( bluetooth, 3G...)
if you flashed a lot of roms....and it didnt work, chances are its a hardware issue, not a wifi driver issue as thats reinstalled with all roms
hey, i am new to the whole android system. i have had my captivate for about a week. its running on 2.2 and its rooted. i updated to 2.2 as soon as i got it and the wifi worked perfectly. only problems that i herd of the wifi messing up was immediately after the 2.2 update but mine worked fine for about a week. the error that i get is disabled secured with wpa wpa2 psk. don't understand it, nothing changed just stopped working, any help would be useful thanks.

Try rebooting your router.
ive done all that. i just went to a few friends houses and it connects fine to all of their wifi one being the same ISP. so something happened to my router or accidentally changed a few settings. other than that i have no clue. the error i used to get is disabled secured with wpa wpa2 psk, and now after messing with a few things it just says disabled.
Used to be a common issue in 2.2 based ROMs, atleast in the ones I tried. Switch to a 2.2.1 based ROM.
When mine does that I usually make the phone forget your router, disable wifi, unplug router, plug it back in and then turn wifi on and find your router. Works for me hope it works for you.
Sent from my Captivate running Continuum 3.5 with SuckerPunch #58.
updates? mine has d same issue, that's y Im connected via static ip now
I figured out how get it working. I download fxr wifi fix and rescue from the market and it actually fixed it lol. Basically the process put you in air plane mode, and removed all the previous remembered wifi connections. It has to do something else because I tried that a million times manually but I'm not complaining. Worked like a charm
I know some people use roms. But I haven't really looked to much into them yet. Any recommendations? I've seen a few on YouTube but some major features were not working. And where do I d/l them?
that solution worked for me. thanks
Good Morning,
For some reason, recently the wifi on my phone isnt connecting...i constantly get "optaining ip address"
At first i thought it was something with my router, but my phone is doing this on open networks and on my friends router.
It was working perfectly up until about 3days ago.
Any ideas on what i can try?
I have the exact same problem and am looking for a fix as well.
It starting happening to me after I updated my radio version to 3805.x.x.x because the phone wasn't working on the previous version.
I had the same problem with CM7 Nightly #66 and 67, but after i updated to Radio 20.2810.30.085AU_3805.06.03.16 i don't have that problem any more.
Now my WiFi connect and gets a IP very quick.
Update:
So I've tried 2 things without any luck.
1- I found on another forum that updating the kernel helped a few people. So I flashed 2.6.35.14-Tiamat_IncS-v1.1.2. That didn't fix the wi-fi.
2- I took jkolner's advice just above and flashed a radio for a 2.33.669.2 RUU. Although nothing else broke, wi-fi was still a no-go.
I will keep searching and post back any finds.
SOLVED
Previously I was running CyanogenMod7 7.1.0-RC1. After trying the 2 things posted in my previous post, I proceeded into trying CM7 Nightly #68. At the moment I can now connect to my home wireless network.
I'm so happy to get wi-fi back! And I hope it will be able to help others as well!
Last month i was on holiday for 3 weeks without any WiFi in range, so i know how it is to do with no WiFi ;-)
Hey guys! I have only just joined XDA Developers so please excuse me if I have posted this thread in the wrong area. I have a Samsung Galaxy S Advance (GT-I9070) running stock Jellybean firmware (4.1.2 ITV) but as you all know the stock firmware for this device is full of bugs and freezes often. I successfully rooted my device and installed Team Canjica's CM10.2 ROM (4.3) from the thread on XDA Developers but the WiFi wasn't working. I then installed Maclaw's CM11 ROM (KitKat) because I thought that might solve the issue but it didn't. Here are the details:
Device scans for nearby wireless routers.
I type in the password for my home router.
Device saves router. "Saved, Secured" message displayed.
I tap on my home router in the list to connect.
Device says "Connecting" for a couple of seconds and then goes back to saying "Saved, Secured".
I browsed through the forums and some users suggested switching WiFi Frequency to Auto and turning off WiFi Optimisation but neither of those methods worked for me. The ROM was installed successfully and all other features are working properly so I don't think that is the issue. And my router settings are also alright since I am able to connect to it from my Nexus 7 (2013) properly. Can someone please provide me with a working solution for this issue? I will start receiving very high data usage bills soon because my data plan isn't unlimited. Thank you!
Is your ssid hidden (not broadcasted) by any chance? i had those troubles on hidden home network. Sometimes it worked after a while, sometimes it didn't. What helped me is to broadcast ssid for a moment, get connected with phone, remove broadcast (it will reboot router so phone will lose wifi for a moment). Then somehow it got connected normally

I just checked my router settings and SSID Broadcast is enabled. I tried flashing OmniRom 4.3 thinking that this may be because of a problem with CyanogenMod but the problem still persists. Is there any additional kernel that I was supposed to install perhaps?
CyanogenMod 11 version ?

Just a detail to those who have not upgraded to JB stock and think it is impossible to use it without problems:
All bugs and freezes in Stock JB currently are perfectly finished.
I use STOCK, only with modified kernel (cocore 8.2) without freezes or bugs in months of use.
Enjoy the developer's work (cocafe), because without it JB probably would be impossible in SGA. However we have JB 100% functional and bug-free.
About KK and WIFI bugs:
The only KK (or based) ROM that used without WIFI bugs was RR 20140313.
In fact, the only issue is incall vol. in my experience.
WiFi Direct, Camera -> Panorama is laggy , Screen Recorder not working Not Tested
I also noticed that the battery is worse durability.
But I went back to JB Stock -- personal preference.

Actually I did try that method. Flashed Samsung's latest stock firmware I9070XXLQL (ITV) and then rooted and installed CoCore. To be honest overall performance was much better and UI smoothness was improved. But after a couple of days of regular usage with just a few basic applications such as a note taker, train arrival time, WhatsApp etc. the device started freezing up a couple of times a day again. I admit it worked much better than before but freezes and hangs were still quite frequent. Running OmniROM 4.3 now with no issues so far except for dialer FC, laggy panorama and non functional WiFi hotspot.

This means probably you have typed wrong password. Also check that in keyboard it capitalise first letter automatically. forget the network and connect again
WIFI not working with cm-11-20140521-UNOFFICIAL-janice and cm11.0_janice.nova.201406
Same wifi problem with cm-11-20140521-UNOFFICIAL-janice and cm11.0_janice.nova.20140601. Wifi not connecting even after giving the right password (used to work correctly with jb4.1.2 and still works with desktop) only showing saving and connecting wifi. Then the wifi connection is shown to be saved. If wifi does not work with cyanogenmod11, then what's the use of upgrading?
Is wifi is not working in any custom kitkat Rom?
Please suggest a solution.
Try couple times to connect. I remember sometimes I had to reconnect 2-3 times before it gets connection. And the problem with kernel was about WIFI not turning on at all, it was not even search SSIDs.
I've been lurking for a while and attempting to solve this problem on my own but I've run up against a brick wall and I need some help.
A bit ago, I was running an older stable CM10 build with no real issues. Then, suddenly, one day, the wi-fi stopped connecting. It sees everything broadcast and saves the network, but any time I tried to connect it would, essentially, time out. It would try for a few seconds, then go back to saying "saved". I tried a few different things to test the connection, rebooting the tablet, rebooting the router, removing all security from the router, installing a new router, and trying a public wi-fi. The results were all the same: the tablet can see all the broadcasts but not connect to any.
So, I wiped CM10 totally from the device and installed CM10.1. When I tried setting it up, the exact same thing happened. It can detect all the wi-fi broadcasts but cannot connect to any of them (and as a side note, any time it tried to connect, the wi-fi bars would drop out from full to one bar).
All in all I tried installs of CM9 (that I had used successfully before), CM10, CM10.1, CM10.2 and Evervolv 4.3.1, each from wiped touchpads. EVERY one of them had the exact same problem. The wi-fi when in WebOS works great, so I'm not thinking it's a hardware failure. There's just something odd going on with android installs and my touchpad and I need help.
If anybody has any ideas, I'm all ears. Thanks!
