I recently reinstalled the stock 4.1.2 rom after the new stock kitkat update killed performance. Problem is now, I'm having issues with wifi hotspot. It was working previously on the stock 4.1.2 before I upgraded to kitkat. And as I understand, the international e975 version has no blockages on hotspot.
But now, when I enable hotspot, the icon flashes and changes blue for about one second before flashing again and turns back off. Wifi itself is working fine.
I have a memory of facing this problem about 12 months ago when I first got the phone, but I can't for the life of me remember how I solved it. Any thoughts? Surely it's must be a common problem if this is completely stock / unrooted?
Thanks in advance team

I recently was using a sense rom never had issues with my wifi and a few days ago I flashed a MIUI rom on my G2 and wifi worked for a little while then I noticed no wifi? I then rebooted my device and tried to connect again......nothing it will say connecting then scanning then disconnected.So then i did a restore back to the sense rom it worked on.....nothing its doing the same thing I even tried the new cyanogen 7.0.0 stable release still nothing, can someone please assist me on what to do?
Maybe change the channel for your Wi-Fi?
Hi there!
My WiFi seems to disconnect and then reconnect every 5 to 10 minutes or so, after I have installed different KitKat ROMS. It happens with different ROMS.
My girlfriend also has a Note 2, and I also updated her phone with a KitKat ROM (Android Revolution HD), but her's doesn't disconnect at all.
You guys know what's happening here? I did flash latest MJ5 bootloader, but it says failed. Then I also flashed the WiFi Fix. In Download mode, Phone says, KNOX VOID: 1.
Thanks in advance.
Anyone?
It happens a lot now..sometimes. It seems a 4.4.2 rom issue in combination with my router.
Laptop doesn't disconnect, but phone of my girlfriend does as well. On her phone I also installed a 4.4.2 rom. Different one though.

Another user from Phoenix ROM is reporting the same. WiFi keeps dropping on his phone. Which ROM did you flash on your gf's phone ? And which ROM are you using ? The guy I'm talking about first flashed a stock KK ROM and then Phoenix ROM so he's on the newest boot loader already

Hi, thanks for replying! My girlfriend (still) uses the Android Revolution 30, I use the SupremeKat. I plan to install SupremeKat on hers as well, after mine is configured and all.
Before that we both had Android Revolution version 19, which is still Android 4.1.2 I think. No WiFi problems at that time....
Any idea who it was that reported the same issues?

It was @Puffin617 he flashed the official stock ROM first and then flashed the custom 4.4 rom called Phoenix ROM and he reported that the WiFi keeps dropping. I've asked one of the users on xda who has a bit more knowledge about such things that what could be causing this cause many users are complaining about battery drain and frequent WiFi drop not sure why is it only affecting a few phones when people have flashed the same stock ROM and your case a custom ROM. If I find anything useful to share I'll get back at you. Perhaps switch custom ROM? Give Dr ketan's version 7 a shot and see if that removes the WiFi issue. Good luck

I have same problem. Stock rom - not root. It drops and reconnect every 2 or 3 minutes.
Hi,
- Stock (or custom) rom 4.4.2 works fine. Wifi turns on and connects.
- Stock (or custom) roms 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 hang on "Turning Wifi on..." and stay that way. (The rest seems to work normally).
I have the exact same issue with my Nexus 4, but my Nexus 7 (2012/grouper/nakasi) doesn't have any wifi issues.
Things I tried:
Complete factory resets, factory images flashed (KTU84L/P), flashed Carbon nightly (20140621).
Flashed the radio from and KOT49H factory image (there isn't one in KTU84L or KUT84P), flashed the bootloader(s) from the 4.4.2, 4.4.3 and 4.4.4.
I even tried deleting (or rather renaming) the /data/misc/wifi and /data/misc/dhcp just in case.
Router is not the problem, I already tried resetting it, despite all my other wifi enabled devices having no problems.
Nothing turns on the wifi on my Nexus 7 (flo/razor) or 4 (mako/occam) when on 4.4.3 or 4.4.4...
I am suspecting Google of screwing up, but if that was the case, why don't I see a whole bunch of posts with this problem?
I'm running out of ideas. The weirdest thing is that on 4.4.2 (stock and carbon last 4.4.2 nightly) it works like a charm! And even weirder, it happens on 2 or my 3 different Nexuses.
Which roms have you tried? I'm running Pac-Man 4.4.3 (6/19 nightly) w/elementix kernel and WiFi works just fine.

That helped, sort of... ElementalX 2.13 doesn't work for me either, but 2.12 does!
I will test some more, but I'm considering staying on this combo for now until 4.4.4 (or maybe higher) matures a bit.
I still find it highly suspicious that Stock is giving problems too. I found a few comments on 4.4.3/4 release news posts on the net with this issue too.
I'm on 4.4.3 on Nexus 7 2013 (LTE) and mine does "Turning Wifi on..." hang every day. I reboot and the problem is sometimes fixed. If I reset my AP and then reboot the Wifi always works.
This is relatively new. I associated it with a newly installed App, Wifi Scheduler, but maybe its not the App.
Interesting.
Thanks for posting your question.
PS: I'm on AT&T prepaid SIM card, FYI.
PSS: I just had a problem with my PC network access, seems my DHCP router issued a duplicate IP address. Unsure if related.
Whatever the guys over at Carbon Rom did, it fixed my WiFi problems! Thread is Here.
They put some special fix in their rom. Nightly of the 24th has the fix. Those on a deb/lte will be fixed in tomorrow's nightly.
Can anyone help with this. I have a sprint note 4 that I rooted and was working great, but wanted the stock 5.0.2 upgrade. Used odin to install stock 4.4.4 and remove root. Worked fine phone took the 5.0.2 upgrade. Rerooted and installed wifi tether router but could not get it to work, found it is not working on 5.0.2, dam. Used odin once again to return to stock 4.4.4, rooted, installed wifi tether, everything works with one problem. When turning the screen on I now have a severe lag between the button push and the screen light up.
I odined back for other issues and still had problems. .even a backup was not working... i wiped everything, all data etc, 2 times then went back to nie....then took the otas back to lollipop. .now everything works fine except i still hate the colors

Fixed, it was a bad sd card had nothing to do with the dowgrade.
Good to hear you found your problem. However if it's tethering that's keeping you away from Lollipop then you can put that to rest because you can easily enable wifi/usb tethering without the need for a third part app like tether router (which i have payed for as well). If you expect to stay on the factory rom/firmware then Lollipop would be a wise choice due to the new ART (android runtime) and it's overall effeciency compared to KK . It has a lot of benefits and other than the stock colors, there's no reason you shouldn't update to Lollipop. Do a little searching here in the Sprint Note 4 forum and you'll find a few easy ways to enable the built-in tethering.
Thanks for the info, did exactly that, found galaxy tools would provide the tether

You are SOL for now. Cant downgrade rom OE1, but a new OTA is about to come out, I'd sit tight until then. or...Many people flash Noterized Rom. Try flashing that and continue your troubleshooting.
Stuck
Here is my screen
Hello,
My Note 2 was stock, and I decided to root it because I was having issues with the screen turning on and wifi sometimes not connecting. I used Odin to flash TWRP, installed a number of ROMs including Cyanogen and Liquidsmooth (currently on Liquidsmooth 3.2), and everything works fine now except that Wifi won't turn on.
I read that Kit Kat has caused wifi issues for some people, so I even downgraded to Jelly Bean (CM 10.2), but that did not seem to help. Does anyone know of any fixes for this or alternatively, any Lollipop ROMs that wouldn't have this problem?
[One thing I just noticed when I was double checking that I was on 4.4.4 was that the "About" menu shows my model number as GT-N7105 even though I downloaded the ROM for the SGH-t889. If that means I installed the wrong ROM, I can restore my backup of my stock ROM and start again if needed]
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Just wanted to post that I figured out that if I install Liquidsmooth alone first, without adding google apps, the wifi worked. In fact, I may have just been stupid to install google apps since it appears that Liquidsmooth already had google apps...
But in any case, the wifi stopped working after I rebooted, so I installed Jedi ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-2-tmobile/development/rom-jedi-source-project-4-4-4-t2895948, booted up, then went to recovery and installed the google apps for Jedi from the same link, and everything has been working great since then.
Hope this info is helpful.
