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.

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.

Hello;
My lg g3 has some strange and weird problems.
First it switch off randomely and does not switch back on normally, so i have to plug usb cable connected with charger or pc and then press power on button and then it turns on.
secondly it looses signals where as other phones have full signals at the same place with same carrier.
it was on stock 10R but then i decided to root it and install custom rom that might solve the problem, so i downgraded to 10C (since rooting 10R is bit difficult), rooted and now installing TWRP. but still problem is same.
so i think this has nothing to do with rom. Please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks
same here

Hello All,
I bought an LG G3 from Dubai couple of days before. It was working on Kitkat until I updated it to Lollipop 5.0 recently. Now, after the update, my mobile data is not at all working. I tried restarting the phone several times, switching between airplane mode and normal mode.
Has anybody faced the same problem with the recent update? How can I solve this problem?
Thank you

Did you try deleting the APN and reimporting the APN settings
I find that i have the same problem on my Australian G3 which is currently running v20F

You can request your network operator for the APN settings or you can add it yourself if you know it. I got mine delivered on my mobile after sending an SMS to the provided number by my network operator.
You can also Google for the APN settings. For example, 'sprint apn settings lg g3' since you mentioned it's on Sprint network. Then you can add those settings yourself by going to Settings->Networks->Tethering&Network->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names->New APN (on the top right)
Good luck. Thanks!
The problem is I can't find the access point its missing, and my network operator said the problem is with the phone
KITKAT was working pretty ok
Hello everyone,
I bought a few weeks ago from amazon this phone: LG G4 H815 5.5-Inch Factory Unlocked Smartphone (Metallic Gold) - International Stock (No Warranty)
I know it says no warranty but I have to try. The thing is that yesterday, out of nowhere, the camera stopped working. Whenever I open the app it shows the buttons but the screen remains black. After a couple of minutes it shows the message "Cannot connect to camera".
I tried the following without success:
-Stopping the app and clearing the cache and data
-Rebooting in safe mode
-Disabling Nuplayer in the developer options
-Factory reset
Please help.
Thank you!!

I got the same issue and had to take it to service center to get it repaired. Since mine was under warranty the repair was done for free. I was told they replaced the board.

Hi all,
I bought an LG G4 from Aliexpress Two months Ago, I think it's an LG G4 H815T (hong kong version) It was working perfectly until I decided to upgrade the firmware (to android 6) with LG bridge and since I made this action, I could not get signal on the phone (most of the time) and some times I get full bar signal but only emergency calls are allowed.
I tried also to downgrade to android 5 again but with no succes (I tried all possible roms and for all variants)
the strange thing is that the phone was working quite good so I'm sure that it's not a hardware problem.
Can any one please tell How can I fix that?
thanks in advance
Does any one faced the same issue before ?
Same here
I don't know if you are talking about the same issue but this occurred for me randomly. Before restart used to fix it but now nothing helps, also when I search for carrier it says your sim card can't connect to any or something like this although I have full signal bar :|
Same issue with mine
Try to restart the phone when it's connected to a power-supply or a running computer, it works for me
Same issue with
My problem is the same please help me?
thanks...
My LG G4 H818P also have the same problem.
Hope there is a solution for this.
