Hello I have searched the forum in hopes of someone having the same problem to no avail. I am on phone no 3 of the Verizon variant of the HTC One. My problem is that on all 3 phones I cannot connect to WiFi at all. It sees the networks it says connecting then stops and tries another 2 times and then says authentication error. I have tried 6 different WiFi networks both secured and unsecured at Starbucks, McDonald's, Burger King, Library etc all with the same result. I want to like the phone very much and for 3 phones in a row to have this issue is a bit much. I am on SW version 1.10.605.10 and not sure if this has to do with it but it says hardware version 0000. I've even contacted HTC and after 30 min on the phone from trying factory reset, booting the phone into safe mode, and everything else no go. On a side note after everything the HTC rep did admit this is a known issue on a "limited" number of devices. Oh and and factory recovery is gone as well we couldnt get it to boot into it, the screen goes black then reboots itself. The phone is on stock 4.2.2 and has never been rooted, thank you in advance

If you can boot into your hboot, you could try to root it and flash a custom ROM to if it fixes it. If not, you could return to stock and send it back...
I had this issue happen earlier today while I was tinkering with the s-off exploit trying to get it to work. I was using the Stock Rooted Odexed rom when I first noticed I couldnt connect to my WiFi network. After installing Newts NOS v1.0.2 HTCOneVZW I have had no problems with connecting to and using my WiFi.
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)

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".

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.

Here someone says it's the kernel that is having problems and installing a new one and going maybe back to the old one will fix it.

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,
My phone worked 100% good until i updated the firmware,now wifi and BT doesnt work...already tried hard reset and factory reset.
How can i reflash the firmware without loosing the warranty?
Thanks
same problem here. european h815, after yesterday update wifi icon start blinking and it unable to connect to wifi (and bt). before this update everything worked fine.
I've done a lot of searching around here and couldn't find anything that could get my WiFi working again. A while back I was following a tutorial that would let me edit my network bands, but I could never get it to work.. Shortly after I noticed my WiFi stopped working. I'm not sure if it's a coincidence or not. Anyways, I've tried everything. I've used stock RUU's to flash it back to stock (erasing everything), installed different ROMs, Kernels, etc. I've noticed the WiFi will work shortly after a fresh install but after a bit it just stops. Turning it on will give a WiFi error followed by "settings has stopped working". I've even opened up my phone and made sure the antennas were connected correctly but that didn't do anything. My Bluetooth works just fine though!
I'm s-off and rooted
Helped one of my friend - installed latest firmware update, but he has phone without root and locked bootloader + s
-on
Where can I find the firmware update?
Did you try using a different SSID ?
Or did you verify the RUU flashes clean ?
Maybe your WiFi Chip is broken
After applying the Android 12 OTA upgrade today, I can boot into the phone, however it looks like the System UI is constantly stuck instantly crashing upon launch, then reloading. the wallpaper is flickering on and off. I can take calls (and reboot the phone) just about, but I can't open any menu aside from the Power menu, or anything like that. Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve this? I'd try and enable adb mode or something like that but I can't beacuse I can't open any menu. I managed to boot into safe mode, but that had no effect and the problems are still happening.
Sometimes I can get it to briefly show the system icons, but it disappears too quickly for me to be able to do anything. If I was able to open the settings app, i'd be able to put it in USB file transfer mode to get my stuff of it, but I can't even do that.
Using the LG_UP tool, I can downgrade to the previous firmware, however I can't do anything as it then won't accept my encryption pin code. If flash the (broken) latest firmware back on, I can decrypt the phone, but I'm back where I was again where the system UI app just instantly crashes.
Right, so I think it's related to the lock screen. I was able to (somehow) manage to get it to the home screen from where I could open the settings app up and everything was fine, and was able to turn on USB file transfer mode. However as soon as the phone locked again, it stopped working. But it's very wierd.
You could try to do a factory reset. I think you have to start the device while holding one of the two power keys.

I think that would work, but i'm trying to avoid doing that as there's still stuff i'd like to get off of it. Maybe a future firmware update may fix this bug.
Most probably there will be no further update. Do you have a chance to take a look at the system protocol via "adb logcat" during the crash? Typically the notorious "com.android.systemui" is the culprit.
PS: In fact it does not matter, but is your device some 820 (G8) or the downgraded version 810 (G8s)?

If you do decide to factory reset, please let us know if it resolved your issue.
idk which g8 you have but my g8 from xfinity just a few hours ago got the ao 12 v40a update and it did the saame thing the bottom screen buttons (home, back, etc ) flashed on n off crazily,
once i figured out the specific recovery mode combo and performed data wipe reset etc
it has seemed to of fixed it, phone calls and messaging are operational are what ive so far checked asa working phone out not recieved any incoming calls yet but messaging works

It's the G8S. And I didn't have debug mode enabled, so adb doesn't work.

Yes, i'm pretty confident if I did a factory reset, it would work fine, but I really don't want to do that until i've got all my stuff off it.
i hear ya, understood, i just thought id fyi,
that the reset, as undesireable as it is. has appeared to fix the issue and phone, is as far as i can determine fully operational . the finger print reader, phone calls, and messaging all work
i just got the phone fixed less than an hour ago, after installing the 40a update a lil before noon or 2 hours ago lol
