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.

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.

HELLO
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.

Have you maybe tried to change the kernel of your device? I have never done that so I am scared if I would damage something.

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.

Hi everyone,
I have LG G3 d855 (Europe version). I bought it online, not at any network. I had an lollipop update really fast (Poland). Yesterday I rooted the phone, it worked fine, and installed the BlissPop rom. I missed the Quick Circle option though, so today I installed the ChupaChups rom for lollipop. And now my problem: The mobile data connection is not working. I can make calls, send texts, connect via wifi, but the data connection over the network is not working at all. I went back to stock - I downloaded and installed the European version using kdz method, it didn't help, so I did it over LG Flash Tool. It still does not work. Do you have any ideas, what to do with this? I feel like I'm going to cry, I'm very nervous about it, because I use mobile data almost all the time...
Maybe there's something wrong with the modem driver? I really hope someone is able to help me. Thank you in advance!
Edit: Maybe I used the wrong stock rom? I don't even have the option to update to lollipop anymore.

Seems like a modem baseband was flashed somehow.
Flash the modem back to the correct stock version you had and it should fix the problem

Do you know where I can find those modem drivers?
Edit: I checked which version of software I should use with my IMEI no. It's 20h. Would it be enough to flash the stock rom over kdz, or do I have to find somewhere the modem driver for this version? If yes, do you have any idea where can I find it?
Thanks.

Not sure.
I have the G2 and we have these files in our Development Section where you find ROM files etc.
Should be there as flashable zip files in the same section for the G3

Ok, thanks! Last question before I do the final step - I have the ROM I am supposed to have. I rooted the phone, installed TWRP. I've also found the modem driver for my rom. And the question is - how should I flash the driver? Should I mount system or do anything apart from just installing the zip? Should I clear any cache?
@CaPlanePourMoi Wipe the modem partition in Recovery and then just flash the modem zip which will replace it. If that doesn't work, you can go back to BlissPop that includes it's own Modem and install Xposed for 5.1 Super-Alpha and the QuickCircle Mod for AOSP, all 3 of those I'm using with no issues whatsoever!
So I installed the modem driver (20h) yesterday, but it didn't help. I decided to install the BlissPop ROM, and mobile data (with LTE) works just fine. I will go back to the problem on Saturday and keep you up to date. Thanks!
Update
Update: Hey everyone - it seems like I didn't find any solution. I tried to go back to the ROM based on stock again (it was Cloudy this time), but the modem still didn't work. It was acutally working for a few seconds (I had 4G connection), but then again it was lost and it didn't connect anymore. Wifi works fine. Do you have any ideas on how I can flash the modem correctly? And how can I uninstall the modem that I have now in recovery? I didn't do that, because I cannot find this option.
Thanks in advance!

I have a very similar issue
my LG G3 is the D855 on AT&T , and was working fine on Cloudy 2.2 or 2.3 Lolipop without any issues!
All of a sudden last Friday 5/22/2015, mobile data stopped working, but WiFi is still okay.
I just did a full wipe, updated APN, and the issue still there
I haven't change any major things in probably 2 months, not sure what's going on.
Finally, contacted AT&T, and made sure that they remove from the network,a put my back(troubleshooting). As well as changing the sim, and APN, but nothing worked!!
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
UPDATE: So my last attempt, I contacted my provider AT&T, and they requested to try a default APN settings, even though what I used was working fine.
I did, and immediately my mobile data was back!!
Everything is working back as normal, and for some reason the network APN required updating
Did almost the same few days ago! I have finally solved my problem. Here's the explanation:
In Poland we had a network called "Era", a few years ago it was bought by T-Mobile. I searched the internet for T-Mobile APN settings in Poland and it didn't work. I have also found the APN settings for the old network, "Era" and surprisingly it's working. I don't know why T-Mobile settings don't work while they do for other people (and at this point I'm too afraid to ask. )
HI, i have the same problem on my d855 with wind (i'm in italy), i was rooted with custom rom and when i came back to stock i lose data connection. What i have to do? what do u mean for restore default apn? the default of my carrier? or the default for g3?
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.

just say thanks into that thread and vote to be able to other members to be sure that this helps. I am so happy that this method helped you. HF
So the problem I'm having with my G3 is that the Network either drops and comes back repeatedly or completely drops and does not return. This only happens on 4G. When I go into network settings and change network mode to 3G it works fine and I get a constant signal all the time.
I have been using Fulmics ROM and I thought maybe that was the issue. But it wasn't.
I tried 3 different sims from three different carriers (Three, EE, O2) on several stock firmwares. (20N, 21C, 30A, 30F).
Each scenario is the same; network drops when phone is on 4G network mode, but its fine on 3G mode.
However, I have noticed that if I leave Wifi OFF allowing 4G data to connect first, then its fine. I can even turn Wifi ON again and the network is stable. I can even turn Wifi and Data OFF and the network is still stable.
But, if I toggle aeroplane mode, where Wifi connects first or where Wifi and Data is turned OFF; I am back to the network dropping.
Also, I live in London UK so there should not be any signal issues. Can anyone tell me why this is happening. I doubt it's software issue as I've tried several firmwares.
Any help is appreciated.
Mate I'm afraid there is a high possibility it's the Fulmics ROM.. I'm still trying to read up on the issue myslef, there's a ton of reports in the Fulmics thread and around.

I'm using an UK bought LG G3 as well (from Three) and started experiencing similiar issues after I flashed Fulmics. Even tried rolling back to 4.4.2 using a .tot file but didn't really help me.
Still scouring all around trying to find how to fix the issue..

Hmmm looking back now this issue did start when I first installed fulmics 3.5. But shouldn't everything revert back to stock when you reinstall stock firmware.

That's what I thought but I guess it's a little bit more tricky.
Anyways I think I managed to restore some kind of stability in the signal, still unsure about the process though. Seems that different stuff are working for different people. In a few days I hope to have some information to give you how to fix it.
In the meantime try checking the Fulmics thread for ideas and suggestions (that's where I start off from).

Yeah let me know when you find a fix. Really appreciate the help.
One thing that is sort of a temporary fix for me, works on Three, EE and O2 (only ones i tried), is connecting Data first when on 4G mode.
So if I toggle airplane mode and if Wifi connects first then the network drops or keeps refreshing.
But, if I leave Wifi OFF and Data establishes a connection; the network is stable and I can then turn Wifi On again and the network will remain stable.
I just have to make sure the network does not lose connection (i.e. tunnel or airplane mode), and if it does ensure Data connects first.
Also, another thing. After I reinstalled Fulmic 5.3 it seems 4G mode is sort of stable. As in when on 4G mode instead of dropping the network it connects via 3G automatically. But this only happens with Three.

Okay here is what worked for me - open this guide and download the Three specifiic Lollipop and Marshmallow .kdz files.
Flash the stock Marshmallow firmware first using the LG Flash Tool method. Your phone probably won't automatically get recognized since you're running Fulmics now so you'll need to change the COM port as described in post #
After that downgrade to stock Lollipop using the LGUP method. Personally I downloaded more updated (I think, not sure) files from here.
Then I proceeded to re-root and clean install Fulmics 5.1 and the 5.2 and 5.3 OTA updates from recovery. Booted and network works without drops now with 4G connectivity.

Also, another thing. After I reinstalled Fulmic 5.3 it seems 4G mode is sort of stable. As in when on 4G mode instead of dropping the network it connects via 3G automatically. But this only happens with Three.

I changed my carrier and got an automatic SMS with configuration for my phone and instructions to save it. I should've known something was fishy when I recieved the "congratulations for setting up" message even before I recieved the actual settings. Anyways 4G was running fine on my new carrier with 32 mbps speed which is okay, much better compared to the same carrier 3G network, however I only had 3 bars of connection so I gussed what the heck, I should save that configuration after all, it might make things better. What a bloody mistake. I lost 4G connectivity and my phone refused to connect to the 4G network, only 3G (just as you describe).
What worked for me in this scenario was wiping the cache and dalvik (not really sure this step is even necessary to be honest, but I was headed for a full rom re-wipe anyway and decided to try with this first), going into the hidden menu and choosing LTE only connectivity (Fulmics Tweaks -> Hidden Menu [or the hidden code for the phone app if you decided to stay on stock, which I dont have] -> Modem Protocol -> RAT Selection -> LTE only. At this step my phone got to the usual 3 to 4 bars of connectiviy but was displaying "Emergency mode only" and no data at all. I proceeded to Settings -> Networks -> More -> Mobile Networks -> Access point names -> Reset to default from the menu. If network mode doesn't change back to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto automatically, change it back manually. At this point I had restored back my 4G connection and everything is working normally (30-32 mbps connection stationary in my house through a wifi hotspot next to my laptop).
Good luck, I would follow the steps as described just in case. I tried many reflashes before that should've worked but didn't for me. However different things work for different people, hope this works for you and please report back

Okay here is what worked for me - open this guide and download the Three specifiic Lollipop and Marshmallow .kdz files.
Flash the stock Marshmallow firmware first using the LG Flash Tool method. Your phone probably won't automatically get recognized since you're running Fulmics now so you'll need to change the COM port as described in post #

I'd like to thank you so much for this information! I was having signal drop issue after installing Fulmics ROM. Tried to flash stock ROM but no success. After doing the downgrade via LGUP method to LP my phone is getting full signal again (at least I didn't notice any drop until now).
Thank you!

Sorry for the late reply.
I followed your instructions and unfortunately it didn't work. :crying:
I first tried with the D85520f you provided and then with an updated D85521C firmware. But nothing worked.
The temporary fix, which I found works, is to ensure 4G mobile data establishes a connection first before Wifi (turn Wifi OFF then ON after data established). Then there is no signal drop until I go through a tunnel or phone restarts (signal drops completely), which means again i have to ensure 4G mobile data establishes a connection before Wifi or else it'll go back to the constant signal dropping.
Guess I'll just stick with 3G at all times. I've spent too much time trying to correct this than actually finding enjoyment in using the phone.
Anyway really appreciate the time and effort you took to help with this annoying situation. :good::good::good:

Modem 21C should be your answer! Please try with that.
Is anyone still out there

I flashed dummies and get dropped 4g data like this.
I have tot back to stock and didn't help... not Kdz
Haven't downgraded yet to LP yet.
On turborom now.
Can I just flash this modem? Have a link to the 21c modem?
Flash in twrp or send via LG flash?
Zenfone 2 ZE551ML on straight talk,
stock ROM 5.0.1 latest release(not beta tester).
have tried resetting APN settings
Have set APN settings to straight talk directed settings.
have multiple disabled and enabled data and disabled data caps from phone.
multiple restarts, multiple attempts to manually choose network with error messages saying cant connect at this time try again later.
AT&T should work just fine even t-mobile LTE service. they both worked a couple days ago.
ive contacted straight talk and they've had me reset and update the APN settings. had me restart the phone a few times, no luck
still receive texts and calls just fine.
any advice would be great. (if i can avoid resetting the phone to factory defaults or installing a custom ROM that would be ideal)
thanks,
I have straight talk and while I never had a problem with data I have had some other problems. Any problems I ever had was solved by dirty flashing the same rom I was running. Since you are on stock you should have no issues downloading .184 LP from ASUS and using stock recovery to update with ADB. On a side note I have been running the MM beta since it first found its way on his site and my service has never been better, don't be afraid to try it.
