Wifi connected but does not work at all - Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers

I have a nokia 7 plus and its wifi is not working at all from the start. As I turned on the phone and it asked me to download update at start and I connected to a wifi network. Then the downloading dialogue started and it never downloaded the update.
all other devices with that wifi work fine except my nokia 7 plus. Also it does connects with all networks but does not download any thing.
Please help.
Update: For those who have faced the same issue there are two solutions,
1. Try to download the latest update via mobile/sim data connection. Although it may he costly but is the only option I have found working wirelessly (as my data plan allowed me to do so). After the latest OTA installation i.e. Android 8.1.0 the WiFi will work like a charm (as in my case).
2. If you dont want to do it as first method, go to www.android.com/beta abd from there find your device i.e. Nokia 7 plus abd it will redirect to Nokia's website. Register your device for Abdroid P beta by providing sign up details. Now don't download the Android P beta and instead go for mannual rollback option as from there you will be avle to download latest stable build i.e. Android 8.1.0.
After downloading please follow the steps described in installing Android P beta on the Nokia website (same page).
After installation wifi will work fine and there will not be any issue.

I got 8.1.0 OTA update but Wifi connectivity is still a mess

android update question

Guys if there is an update for the 8.9 can you simply update over the air on wifi or do you have to update via a pc download?
Not checked my firmware version yet but suspect its not the latest version of honeycomb.
Ta.
I've only updated via PC i.e. using Kies but the option is there in settings.
just go to Settings > About device and hit Software update. you must have a google account and a samsung account and a working wifi connection. that's it
Thanks.
80% through my update now.
So easy only take few mins. :-D

[Q] Xperia ZR WiFi Troubleshot

I need help, my Xperia ZR cant connect to 2.4 GHz networks, it detect them, but when you try to connect, they go all the way down and it appears as "out of range", I have tried several 2.4 networks, until today I tried with a 5.0 GHz router and it connected in less than 1 second, so I dont know how to fix this problem, I would appreciate step by step instructions, like what to download and how to proceed, noob style.
I have tried PC companion factory reset, I have the latest update, and it did not solve the problem, I found this solution, but I dont know how to do it or if it would solve my problem:
This is an official solution I found after weeks of testing and research. In the end, the driver is not loaded properly or by default, custom ROM created the havoc.
I noticed that when running ADB GUI, there is this file missing from /system/data/misc/wifi called WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini .
I'm using ADB Helper Version 4.2.0.0, under build.prop Viewer tab, choose wlan.driver.config it points to that location. I downloaded it from somewhere on the Xperia developer forum website. Then I modified and modified until I found the solution.
In this file I modified the line gDotMode=3 (which is running in N mode only) to either 1 or 2 which s "a" or "b" mode.
I rebooted the device and the wifi works and N mode is disabled meaning you wont be able to connect in 5GHz mode anymore. But you will be able to connect to all the CURRENT 2.4GHz AP.
I read somewhere where ICS android allows you to Enable or Disable 5GHz scanning of AP. But was removed from later versions.
Now, my phone can connect to any 2.4GHz WiFi.
Thanks for any help

Settings doesn't control WiFi

Suddenly, I am not able to activate WiFi using Settings. It just hangs for a while and then tells me that Settings isn't working.. If I power off and then on, everything works OK.
Can I fix this?
Thanks.
Is this on original OxygenOS ROM? Sounds like your wifi driver crashed and burned, probably caused by something wrong in the driver or the userspace.
All you can do is make sure your system is updated, and if that doesn't help, do a factory restore and hope for the best.
I have unbricked a op3T 128gb today and i'm having the same issue. i bought the phone bricked and i have no info about the history of it. after the unbrick process i have oxygenos 3.5.1 android 6.0.1 on it. Kernel is 3.18.20-pref+
if i think about it someone might updated it and now it needs the modem updating or something? how can i update everything to latest oxygenOS trough Abd or without any wifi?
Wifi mac address is 02:00:00:00:00:00 hmmm....

You can always download the latest full OOS zip to the root of the internal storage, rename it to update.zip and the just enter normal recovery using volume up and power to let it install.

Technically, it's show that my XZ2 is connected to laptop but "no internet"

Have any members here are having this problem like me? Please help to advise.
With regards,

I have same hotspot difficulty with pie. Devices connect to hotspot but receive no internet - and there seems to be no answers
Weird.
It works at my site.
Bluetooth and USB tethering.
H8296 rev2
German h8266 firmware.
Full wipe and flash with newflasher.
Using Linux Mint Cinnamon x64 19.0 on a ThinkPad T460P.
Usb3.0 & Bluetooth 4.1
weird and annoying.
usb tethering the same. Connects but wont give access with any device I care to try (other androids, laptop pc, desktop pc, linux, windows...)
My device - Syberia ROM on redmi note 4X (mido) - tried 2 other pie based roms with the same outcome.
I've had to revert to miui 10 beta as I need a hotspot...

WORK-AROUND : Managed to Wi-Fi tether using AdGuard VPN (which isn't really a VPN) and VPN Hotspot app - Both from xda. The data is coming through, YAY! now I can keep Syberia!
I think I've been lucky, I have a UK customised Rev3 H8216 and have hand none of these issues.
However I did get the banding on my screen ( after Pie update), I powered off my phone over night and it's not appeared since.
My point is that no matter rev version you have, There's a problem somewhere in the XZ2
Guys,
I could access internet via tethering hotspot by now.
I changed device name, new password and paired with my laptop. Then, rebooted again and again.
I am not sure if this few settings worked. It's work in my case in Cambodia.
Cheers,
MKR

Wifi module broken - cannot add google accounts with Lineage 14

Hi there,
I still want to use my old Thor HDX7, but the Wifi is broken.
I can use Internet via bluetooth (tethtering), but not via Wifi.
My problem:
I have installed CM/Lineage 14 with Android 7.1
I have also tried installing several version of Gapps.
Installation run successfully, but there are no Google Apps after restarting from recovery.
I suppose the problem is, that I cannot enter Google Account after factory reset (as I cannot estalbish wifi conection)
During initial setup I cannot estabish internet connection, as I cannot choose Bluetooth tethering connection.
Does anyone have any idea how to use Gapps in this situation?
thank you
#Jens
