WIFI will not turn on - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys i have a lg g3 that has been running fine on kitkat
it the received the lollipop update OTA and all went fine apart from now it wont turn the WiFi on
you can click it on and it moves to on but seems to be always trying to turn on..?? without turning on.?
any ideas..?
I have done a reset etc still no joy

Did you try to reflash? (I think that you mean by resetting that you full wiped your phone and not reflashed the rom)

Yes after it updated to lollipop I lost the ability to turn on wifi..
It was there to turn on but would not it showed it trying to turn on but just hung trying to turn on..device updated from kitkat to lollipop via its own update OTA.
Cn not work it out

Same issue here.
I get around it by forgetting network then just signing in again. Wifi works perfectly until I leave the house and return later. Then I just do the above and viola, working wifi.
I've checked with speed test app and wifi is definitely working.
Funny thing is, if I switch off wifi then turn back on it also works.
Only when ive left home and returned later does this bug arise.

Hello guys,
This thread is a little bit old, but I am curious to know if you found a workaround for this issue.
I have the same problem as the OP (not at the second poster): since I received Stock Lollipop the WiFi won't turn on. When I try to, it says "turning on" for a while then acts like it is off.
I just bought my LG G3, NCIX the reseller, refuses to refund me or replace my phone...
I performed several factory resets and tried to flash different KK stock Roms. The weird thing is that the WiFi works with KK...
Thanks for your help.

Identical experience here.
I recently got a D855 16GB, which was on stock unbranded V10a, jumped through several OTA updates through V10g, V10j, and V10k (IIRC) all with wifi working fine before getting the lollipop upgrade OTA for V20c.
Immediately wifi will not switch on - the switch itself is on, but with the off section a lighter grey compared to the bluetooth switch.
On the wifi screen itself it says "Turning Wi-Fi on..." but after a while the switch reverts to off.
It's now had OTAs to V20e and V20h, but wifi is dead on both versions.
Note that this is stock and unrooted (never rooted) so I can't believe it's something I've done. Next trick will be to root and poke around /data/misc/wifi.

Does bluetooth work or the problem is only with the wifi? I also have the same problem, wifi, bluetooth is not working and when I check in the settings the mac adress it says "unknown".

Accountability
Unfortunately this isn't a unique problem. There have been countless bad updates from multiple manufacturers. In this litigious world, I'm surprised no one has sought damages for bad updates that effect usability.

I have the same problem from yesterday. wifi and bluetooth seem to be turning on but they never turn on. i've done many factory resets but it didn't work. has someone found a solution?

^^^ Exactly the same issue. Would love a solution!
Same issue. Tried Hard and soft reset and have also updated firmware using LG Mobile Support Tool but had no success.

ok, after 24h with this problem I think I got it back to working. Let me explain what have I done:
1. Mine is a dual sim model, that I bought in hong kong by the end of 2014.
2. Yesterday, I removed sim #2 (no longer needed), without removing the battery. I had a couple of messages indicating to restart the phone, blah blah. Can't remember if I finally restarted it or not.
3. This morning I saw no wifi connection in my phone, only 3G. Tried to start wifi in the quick access menu, but this kept blinking, never starting wifi. Restarting phone... nothing. turning off bluetooth... nothing.
I figured out that the problem had to be related with the SIM as this is the last thing I had done with the phone. Thus, I tried this, with success:
4. I turned off the phone, changed sim from slot #1 to slot#2 and started the phone. Wow, it worked for some minutes, then stopped, then started again. Well, a good sign.
5. Changed again sim from slot #2 to slot #1: Wifi working again. After some time it stopped working, but soon started again. Hasn't given me more problems (after only 30 min, that's true).
Hope it helps.

I have exactly the same problem and I think we're not the only...
D855 :
-Wifi and Bluetooth doesn't work.
-Wifi keep turning on itself and the battery drain..
-3g/4g works perfectly.
-Downgraded on kk and Wi-Fi works so it is not a hardware issue
-Even on fulmics Rom Wi-Fi and Bluetooth doesn't work
HEELP ME PLEASE

Got the same problem here. I have my G3 since november 2014 and recently I rooted it to install CM 13 on it and Xposed bcs I got tired of the laggy software of LG. One morning I woke up to drink some water and saw my phone restarting a lot of time... ok I thought its a simple bootloop. Tried to install CM again, didnt fix it. Flashed stock software and still... Bought new battery and new power flex and the problem is still there. I go into download mode, installed the software with LGs support tool and got pass the bootloop, but now wifi nor bluetooth works. I thought it's the software so I dared myself again to root it and installed TWRP and CM13, but it wouldn't boot. I installed then Liquidsmooth, based on CM13, and got it to boot up, but in the configuration menu where WiFi is needed to be added it couldn't turn on. I skiped it and in the middle of the process it started again to restart. I don't know if it's a hardware based problem or software... But I would like to try everything out before I have to buy a new phone.

I installed CM13 and in the setup screen I actually had wifi and I could connect to my router. It was kinda strange. But bcs I have some problems beside wifi, the reboot thing, I couldn't test out if it works too. Try flashing CM13 or ROMs that are based on it like Liquidsmooth. Maybe it will help.

[Q] OTA Weirdness - Tab Pro 10.1

Got a notice of an OTA last night. Figured it was for Lollipop so told it to proceed. Once the tablet rebooted the WiFi radio was disabled. Looked in settings which showed that WiFi was on, but no radio. Went online an saw that Samsung hasn't sent out the Lollipop update for the 10.1.
Question 1 - how do I restore my tablet since I can't get WiFi turned on?
Question 2 - where did this weird OTA come from?
Thanks for any help you can give.

Others having same issue
Thought I'd post this as info. Checked over at Android Central and several people appear to be having the same issue. Looks like bad firmware from Samsung. Bad build number is: KOT49H.T520UEUAOD1. Wiping and factory refresh may help temporarily, but eventually the wifi radio will be disabled. I'm going to wait for Samsung to get their act together and flash a fresh build when it's released.
Thanks for the help.

My 10.1 Tab Pro was updated too but wifi is working fine. I'm not rooted though. Same build number that you mentioned.

Wifi Issue as well
I had the same update come across last night and now I can't connect to wi-fi to save my life. Really pissed off. Done 2 factory resets already, reset my modem at home, turns out it happens everywhere and not just at home. Wifi says it's on but doesn't pick up any networks in my area and won't connect to the 1 that is already known on my tab. PLEASE HELP
Got the update last week. Wifi is fine but now daily I get a random reboot. Never had any problems before. Thanks Sammy!

You can download an earlier firmware from sammobile.com. If you are in the US, use the firmware for cellular South and make sure it's a 4.4.2 that you are downloading. After you download it, you can flash it with Odin. There are several threads here on xda that describe this process. If you still need further help, post again.
TabPro 10.1 SM-T520, v4.4.2 Build KOT49H.T520UEUAOD1 No wifi after update
Boy am I glad to find you guys with the same problem as I have. Couple of days ago I saw an update message and decited to go for it. Well, as all of you know, wifi stops working. Factory resets gets it working again but once everything is restored it stops working again! This is quite frustrating and I hope Samsung is working on a fix right now. I haven't been on XDA for a while and only rooted phones before. So how is the rooting/mod scene for tablets. Any good Custom Roms out there we can use until/when this is resolved? I'm good with directions and done some custom roms on my phones before. Let me know what's the good ROMS out there are...the bloatfree version is a welcome even without KNOX, I don't really use it.

Thanks for your feedback.
I had to use the firmware from November 2014 to get it to work and restore my wi-fi.
Again thanks
KOT49H.T520UEUAOD1 is the problem
Well I figure this particular firmware has a problem. Because even after factory reset, wifi works once and goes back to not working. So the best solution is to get an earlier version. I went back to Sep 15, 2014 version and it works well. Took forever to download from sammobile though. So if you need to flash to a previous version that works. I have post a link to the firmware I have on my OneDrive that got it working again, hopefully it will be faster for you to get your tablet working again. Here is a link. This is for the US Tab Pro 10.1 SM-T520.

thank you for those who warned about the wifi problems this OTA introduced. I'm just going to keep ignoring the tablets request to update. I thought i got a great deal on this tablet when i got a refurbished one for under $300 several months ago... but samsungs lack of support for this tablet is astonishing.

Unable to start Wifi & Bluetooth

My LG G3 wifi & bluetooth stucked at turning on. Tried factory reset, flashed the ROM & use FXR wifi fix and rescue but still not working. Have not tried changing to another Kernel yet. Could it be hardware problem?
I don't think so... Maybe an app is in conflict with wifi & bt.

Similar issue on my end - About a month ago, I opened a support ticket with LG. They returned as "repaired" and my phone worked for about three days before the issue returned.
Using Titanium Backup, I restored the bluetooth system software and it worked for about a day. Considering flashing my phone back to stock and starting over.
If anyone has experience on finding a permanent fix to this issue, I'd be all ears.
Try booting into safe mode and see
I'd be very interested in a fix for this too.
I've a completely stock unrooted D855 that last week seemed to over heat and shut itself down. On restarting it's eaten it's way through the battery in very short order, gotten hot and shut down again. Rince and repeat a couple of times. I've then factory reset and its continued to do the same thing.
Further investigation has shown the WiFi and Bluetooth "turning on" constantly without ever actually turning on. And I've then discovered that the MAC address (and Bluetooth equivalent) are missing.
Would appreciate any help possible
Seems like i'm not alone. Yup my phone auto restarted few days ago after turning on wifi & it keep rebooting if the wifi is turned on. Only stable after i flash the ROM but the WiFi & Bluetooth issue persists. Safe mode does not help.
Same issue started 2 weeks ago. Factory reset didn't fix and battery life being killed by constant searching for BT and wifi. Unlocked G3. Waiting for Marshmallow in the hope it fixes it.
You could also have broken firmware when i got my g3 wifi turned on and off and always dropped connections i ended up reflashing stock with flash tool and tot method and it fixxed i had a bad firmware download straight from lg
hmm so no one has a way to fix this issue?

On 4.4.4 = boot loop, and for android 5 battery drain and wifi bluetooth issues.
Waiting for marshmallow
i found a post by someone else in another forum that fixed this problem. I followed some of his steps to reboot into safe mode to turn off the bluetooth & wifi but it didn't work so i turn on Airplane mode while i'm on safe mode & reboot again in safe mode & it works.

Any fixes with Marshmallow ?
Would be good to know a fix as recently happened to me. Can now only use data for Internet and am getting through a battery in 3 and a half hours as the phone is constantly trying to connect the WiFi and BT. Tried Factory reset. Used LG Mobile Support to update software. Now finally have the lovely Marshmallow but the issue remains. Please help!
Has anyone found a solution to this problem?
Anyone found anything on it?

New Battery
Hey everyone, I had the same problem. After installing an OTA update, my D850 crashed. When it started up again, I had no WiFi/BT. I tried several factory resets, flashing multiple custom roms, tried unrooting and returning to stock. Was convinced it was a hardware problem. As a hail mary, I ordered a new battery off Amazon. I put the replacement battery in my phone, and WiFi and Bluetooth are now fully functional. Is it possible that everyone with this problem just has a bad battery? It's definitely worth a shot.
probably a hardware issue...
Hey guys,

[Q] disappeared LTE all firmware

What is done:
first I flash 30B bump, the problems starte. then flash 30B LGUp, flash 21a and 21c, change band in ingeneering menu, delete lteconfig, flash 30b bump with modems: 21a, 21c, 30b hybrid, change of operator, manual config APN, manual search network. All this does not help.
Any ideas?
no ideas?
Idem.
But after reboot 4G is ok, but again...every morning i lost signal 4G...only 2G/3G is ok. So..reboot & 4G is up......disappointed.
Same on my G3. I downgrade from MM to LP but problem persist.
Same here....tried rollback to kitkat stock, LP stock, CM12, Cm13, and some other roms with no luck....have just flashed stock LP for repair...
so today I tried swapping my SIM with my friend's
he is using G3 with stock 21A, and his SIM is of the same carrier as mine
after swapping, I found that my phone (and of course his phone, too) is working normally
my phone is normal even after swapping back
did some different tests like switching on and off with 3G, LTE etc., everything is normal, at least at this moment
Still working with you? So it is sim card fault? With me after searching networks everything seems to be ok, but I couldn't connect with LTE. Only sometimes successfull connection.(once a day and after reboot same...) Very strange. :/
I lost network signal randomly... i tried with 30b hybrid modem, 21a, 21c... kdz method, twrp bumped rom... and doesnt help me at all.. my network signal gets a rotating circle randomly... and in that time my phone is out of coverage... it is .... hundred times in a day... i dont know what to do, please help
same here when i use sucks 30b D855, but now everything is ok with me.
Steps that have been followed:
downgrade to lollipop 5.0
install CandySIX Rom , then try to connect to my carrier network , at the first time it not give me anything , but when i reboot my phone , LTE appears and everything fine
back to CloudyG3 2.5 then i found that the problem resolved
My phone now works well
OKAY, i found a solution to the problem and here is what i found :
Pacote-san said:
Same here...
Edited: Fixed this deletings the folder LTEconfigs on System/app
Had to then configure it to auto GSM/WCDMA then switch back to LTE auto
It connected at first with 3g then it went LTE and worked normally

Some people got their phones back to normal by flashing some roms (like CM, ACIP, stock, etc.), but that didn't work for mine
not sure if it was sim card fault, but my problem solved (at that time i was back to LP stock 20h) after swapping my sim cards with my friend's.
i am still using that sim card at this moment, working fine since last thursday
Same problem here, have signal drops on MM roms with LTE connection.
Tried all methods above, nothing really helps .. ;((
The signal is fine on LP roms, tho i installed N&N so i was able to change network type to GSM/WCDMA auto, having steady signal now, but missing LTE speed, trying to find solution to fix this, but unfortunately for now.
Same, my G3 doesn't recognize my sim sometimes or it just loses signal randomly, making the smartphone almost useless.
I tried CloudyG3 2.5 Lollipop, then upgrading to Marshmallow with many radios flashed (also the hybrid one) , then I tried to come back to a stock Lollipop ROM and the signal is always unstable. I'm going crazy due to that. I'm starting to lose hope too.
I think I've tried every possible solution to the connectivity problems I've read since flashing 30b.
Freezing LteConfigs gave me more stability, but didn't solve the problem completely. Tried editing the build.prop to force LTE as preferred network type, this didn't change anything. Don't even know how many times I've changed my apn settings.
Tried every combination of modems possible: 21a/c modem with 30b rpm/tz, pure 21a/c, pure brazilian 20c, brazilian 20c with 30b rpm/tz and nothing. Changed sims multiple times, didn't work.
The only way to get a reliable connection is to limit the phone to 3G... but that isn't a solution since I pay for unlimited 4G. If I let the phone in auto mode, the instant it tries to connect I lose all connectivity and it would take up to 2 minutes searching for the network.
I'll flash the stock rom today and if it doesn't work I can safely say it should be a hardware problem.

I had exactly the same problems I tried all of the solutions mentioned modems/roms/etc but what solved it for me was flashing the Pure stock MM kdz now no signal drops or 4g problems.

Did you root after flashing the kdz? I'll try with pure 30B but having no root is almost as bad as no 4G.

No not rooted it yet, to be honest I don't like the kingroot app it looks way too suspicious to me + the rom is smooth and stable at the moment so I thought I would stick with stock for a while.

Can't turn on WiFi

Hi guys, I have discovered an issue few days before. My WiFi don't became on when I turn on the screen. Same as if I want to turn it on manually, the switcher in settings came back to off position itself again and again. But after few try it stayed in on position - but only sometimes. Sometimes I have to reboot phone to get working wifi, immediately after reboot it working without issue. Maybe it have something to do with deep sleep.
I have tried reflash the ROM(leedroid), kernel, uninstall Magisk and now even restore stock TWR backup. But problem is still here. I'm S-ON and don't know what I can try next.
Is there the possibility that the Wi-Fi module of the phone itself (hardware) is acting up ? Just thinking out loud for a bit......

I don't know how to verify it. But I'm not alone who have this issue acording to LeeDroid thread. But I think it must be software issue. If try to switching it on again and again, after few try it generaly turn on the wifi.. From the other end, when wifi working and I turn screen off, wait a few minutes and turn it on, wifi is still running. I have the option that turning on wifi in sleep mode..
It's very strange that just a handful of the complete user base is having this issue. You also restored your stock rom so it's not a leedroid thing for sure, it's also not a mismatch firmware/software (because it's happening on stock software too)
I'm running out of ideas to be honest
Mine even bluetooth stopped too. But I will try flashing official rom and see if that helps.
I've had the opposite problem where my wifi won't turn off unless I reboot it.
I'm about done with this phone. WiFi has always been crap, and phone still reboots randomly several times a day, despite going to Oreo from a clean RUU and trying a couple different ROMs (Maximus and LeeDroid).
Sad thing is, my M8 is still kicking and is bulletproof. My son puts that thru the works and it can't be killed.
I have same problem. In WiFi settings, I always set Keep WiFi on during sleep to 'never'. After I did something with radio settings using dialer code *#*#4636*#*#, I have started facing this issue. For now, I set that setting to 'Always'. I don't know if resetting phone will fix it. I'm using official software from HTC.
I will going to downgrade to Nougat and try it on Nougat firmware with the guide I posted bellow as I'm S-On. Hoping that I not ended up with bricked phone

Hi guys, let me inform you that I'm o Nougat now and my WiFi problem is gone, it working without issue! So it is not a hardware problem and it has nothing to do with ROM or Kernel. It is something in Oreo (or firmware) what causing this. Maybe there is a problem in OTA to Oreo, who knows. I will take the OTA (by official way) to Oreo later this week and we will see
I'm still on Leedroid Oreo, I turned off button light notifications and volume button tweaks and I have not had the wifi problem since.

Those are totally not related to each other, code and settings don't come near Wi-Fi actions. BLN is btw a kernel tweak, volume buttons a rom tweak. I bet my life on it that its something else.
And to ensure you, i use the same tweaks. All fine on my end.
I have tried take OTA by official way = WiFi issue on Oreo
I have tried install OTA from recovery = WiFi issue on Oreo
I have tried install Oreo RUU after OTA to Oreo = WiFi issue on Oreo
But everytime when I downgrade to Nougat, WiFi wokrs like a charm..
Anyone have idea what I can try next? I think that issue is in the Oreo update
@Mr Hofs Wich version are u using? WWE? How you upgraded to Oreo? Thanks

Ah oké, i installed the 2.41 ruu and updated via OTA. My Wi-Fi is always on. I'm not using the option to turn it off when the phone sleeps.
Full setup
- 3.16 firmware via official ota
- Basic leedroid rom
- Root via SU (no magisk for me)
No modifications whatsoever.

So u updated by the official way as me (setup is same for me). Interesting. Can you try turn on the option which turn off wifi when phone sleep (only without charger) and test it for day or two? Watch on your wifi when You wake up your phone..
It might be enough if you turn it on when you go sleep and watch wifi in the morning when you wake up your phone. And your phone have to unplaged from charger over night..

Sure, will start testing it after work. will report back tomorrow.
Also maybe good to mention is that i am using a 5ghz network. I put the option that my Wi-Fi always go to sleep. Let's see what happens til tomorrow
I wonder if turning wifi scanning off, in location settings, is also a trigger. I think I didn't have any issues with it, then yesterday I turned wifi scanning off and today my wifi toggle didn't work and I had to reboot my phone to ge it back.

I've been playing with different Wi-Fi settings last night and this morning i unlock the device, Wi-Fi reconnected and it continues as nothing happened.
Sorry but i just can't get it to fail.
