A few days ago I noticed that my network would always stay on 4g. Normally the phone kicks over to my home WiFi without a problem. Now I can't turn the Wi-Fi on, but when I try to turn on the Wi-Fi from the settings, it turns the mobile hotspot on. I've never had a problem before. I have FoxFi that I use to turn on my mobile hotspot and it's always worked fine. The hotspot still functions perfectly fine, but the wifi doesn't. I am rooted and running a 4.3 version of Nebula ROM. Also, I just noticed when I boot my phone up, it starts with the hotspot activated. Not too long ago I flashed the full firmware here . And here is the Nebula ROM.

My phone has had absolutely no problem connecting to Wi-Fi for the longest time. About a month ago, it started refusing to connect to Wi-Fi properly. If I go to the wireless settings, as soon as Wi-Fi turns on, it turns itself off immediately, and it keeps doing this over and over. I've tried different kernels (including stock), different ROMs, which sometimes fix it for a little while but it always goes back to this. Is anyone else experiencing this problem, or know how to fix it?
Just happened to use wifi hotspot a lot lately in cm7 and i noticed that a lot of times, the connected device will lose internet access, and it turns out that even though the hotspot is still on, it freezes and you can't turn it off. It hangs. Anyone had thus experience and the solution?
Another thing, how can you enable access control?
Thanks
Got a Headache? It's all in your Head.
Has anybody faced the issue of WIFI not working? It seems like my antaena is broken.
1. I first was on MyRom then it turned on and off.
2. I went to PA3+ then it workrd and stopprd after three days.
3. I factory reseted, it worked for two hours.
4. I ODINed back to stock, same thing.
5. I UNROOTED, same issue.
WIFI won't conect at all, the widget stays half green (half the tone as other activated widgets) and in settings, the switch stays at off but it says turning on....
Any solution?

I'm assuming you've tried multiple WiFi connections? Like, a free wifi such as mcdonalds or starbucks, etc? Does it just say scanning for IP, or "connecting?"

Actually it says "Turning on..." and no, I have always connected to my work or home WIFI.
Hi
I got a used galaxy S3 for cheap, but wifi was not working on it. Turns out it was the antenna cable inside the phone, so I replaced that part, but it still didnt work. I downgraded the software from 4.1.1 to 4.0.4 (via ODIN), and wifi worked, so I left the phone alone for a few hours. Then I started using the phone and downloaded a few apps then all of a sudden wifi stopped working, and the phone won't connect anymore. Tried rebooting, reflashing, going to *#0011# and turned off wifi power saving mode, but still didnt work. WHen I enable wifi or bluetooth, the I/O switch gets greyed out and it just says "Turning On..." . Anyone know what the issue is? Could it be a hardware problem (wouldnt think so because it worked for a bit).
thanks!
No one has experienced this problem on their phones?

Kernel issue. WiFi drives are built into the kernel. Flash anoher stock kernel if your on stock or flash aosp kernel if not on stock

I'm experiencing similar trouble with my s3 the wifi never turns on. I've only started having this issue since I got a factory reset done because of some other trouble and now I'm sick with this new issue.
Did you find anyway to fix it yet. 923
I run stock rom, all updated and since the last update a few days ago (droid 7.0 build BDB90W) when I turn on wifi hot spot it turns ifself off again immediately. I've rebooted, double checked settings..
I'm out of ideas !!
I found the problem, basically the phone just decides to revert back to to WiFi when in range of my home router. Smart I guess but too smart as I wanted to hot spot a device off my phone on purpose....
So move out of Wifi range and problem goes away!
