At this time last night (even less than 12 hours ago), my phone was all fine and dandy, and reception was where it supposed to be. Now I can't get any form of Data, and no SMS messages are going through. I bought this phone at the end of August and I am currently using the AOKP Jellybean Milestone 1 (problem persists on stock ROM). I've tried pretty much everything I can find, short of bringing in the phone to a Rogers outlet... I'm pretty much at the end of my wits here. Help?
EDIT: As of right now I'm running some Emergency bull**** on Kies.
EDIT2: which failed.
EDIT3: I should probably note that I'm using Rogers.

Didn't work.
I'm also having issues with data drop! The network signal will be full and sometime when I wake the phone , there's no data connection.. Also happens when I answer the phone ...network mode is set to LTE/GSM/WCDMA running AOKP MILESTONE 1 JB... also I updated to the latest baseband and still having issues... It doesn't happen all the time but its happening enough to bug me! Any help is appreciated!
And forgot to mention when I reboot the phone I get the "restricted access change" and the clock resets to a different time... I have to go to settings and click on the automatic thingy for the time... And then it resets
I'm on stock, rooted odex. I believe the issue happened after I rooted. On boot, it forgets all previously connected WiFi networks. The only mods I've flashed was the 4-way boot (which didn't work since I have CWM and not TWRP). I've tried deleting the dhcp files in the dhcp folder and the wpa files in the etc/wifi folder. Neither worked.
Anyone else having this issue?
Edit: Factory wipe didn't rectify the issue. Guess I'll ODIN back to stock. Hopefully this is a hardware issue.

Figured out the issue. I mistakenly flashed the T800 autoroot instead of the T700 autoroot.
Hi
I am stepping in on this thread, because I encounter this issue.
I just rooted by Galaxy Tab S 8.4 (LTE) - T705 and I followed this site http://theunlockr.com/2014/08/09/how-to-root-the-samsung-galaxy-tab-s-8-4-lte/, used as instructed CF_AutoRoot_Port_T700_BeansTown106.tar with Odin3 v1.85 .
- when rebooted the wifi forgets the password, (as long as you dont reboot the wifi is okay, and i can connect to other network and connect back to the original wifi.)
Do anybody knows how to fix this issue?

I think you have to change some sort of file to something to make it remeber it. I cant remeber what the fix was but it was somewhere in the cfautoroot fourm.

HI,
Consider also using Skyhigh Kernel, it fixes your issue.

My nonrooted Tab S forgets WiFi on reboot and when I switch WiFi off and then on.
I found that this probably is a KitKat bug (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2685519)
If you are rooted then this is what fixed it for me.

Unfortunately I have no root, so I flashed the newest firmware (T705XXU1ANH1 – XEH from France) and it fixed Wi-Fi
So, I using mine tab with and 6 on the latest image from Brazil.
It is rooted and with TWRP.
It doesn't save wifi networks. If I turn wifi on and of it looses everything.
Just to be clear, it had this problem before I installed TWRP. It took me quite some time to notice the problem so I don't know if it is related with the root method.
I even flashed a custom kernel, but still no luck.
Does any one know of a solution for this issue on Android 6? Stok?
Thanks

try to flash a diffedent rom. i personally never had this issue but maybe a new rom may help.
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".

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

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.

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?

Same problem here, wifi and bluetooth mac address unknown, return to stock with kdz files, 10a, 10f, 20, 21a, nothing work, .tot method also not work.
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?
Same problem here. Wifi and bluetooth randomly stopped working. It works randomly sometimes..

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...

I have the same issue. Suddenly, my GN2 could not connect to any Wifi router (secure or open), while connecting to hotspots by others.
Phone could connect only if it is very close to the router (couple of centimeters)...which i don't really understand !!
My phone was rooted with TWRP, rune KK 4.4.2 and working very fine for almost 3 years without one issue...this is the first
I tried everything could be done....
- Factory reset
- Rom installation (CM 11.0)
- Stock Rom from sammobile (clean one 4.4.2)
- Even install modem drivers of other revision (don't recall it)
I gonna try marshmallow and see!!
Any other suggestions will be much appreciated..
Cheers,

I'm having the exact same problem!
It only connects to WiFi if I am standing less than 1 meter from the router! (otherwise it sees the signal, even from far away; but fails to connect)
I'm on 4.4.2, no changes for months solid as a rock then this issue appeared!
Any ideas/solutions?
