WIFI will not turn on

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.

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.

Unable to start Wifi & Bluetooth

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..
Wifi mac address shows as 00:02:00:00:00:00

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...
Hey guys,
if brysclar's hint about the battery (see right above) doens't help you, you might want to check out a detailed summary I've written about this issue here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/qa-wifi-stuck-mac-020000000000-g2-g3-g4-t3452133

No Wi-Fi, no Bluetooth and no FM Radio [D855]

I'll try to give as much information as possible.
Yesterday I was surfing the internet and suddenly my phone froze and randomly restarted. After that I wasn't able to connect to wifi nor bluetooth. I was running android 6.0 with 30B modem, rooted and with TWRP. After that I flashed Modem from v21C Firmware. I don't know if doing such was responsible for the next thing, but my Wi-fi mac adress and bluetooth adress disappeared from Hardware information. Note that my IMEI information did not disappear.
After that I did a full factory reset with .TOT method. That didn't solve my problem. Tried upgrading to lollipop, did not work. I've done like 10 factory resets only today, I've tried to fix persist partition following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/guide-to-fix-persist-partition-t2821576, same results.
In 4.4.2 and 5.0(all versions I tried from lollipop), both wi-fi and bluetooth adresses showed up as anavailable. Sometimes after rebooting, my phone would connect to wi-fi and show my mac adress, and would crash after 30 seconds..
On 6.0,my mac-adress shows as 02:00:00:00:00:00 and bluetooth adress as unavailable.. Need some serious help here, tried so much stuff nothing worked..
I'll attach some screenshots that may be useful
Any questions and any tries to help me are highly welcome.
Enjoy 6.0 on your phones and thanks for reading :fingers-crossed:
-------------------------
Edit:
Adding some logs. Half a year passed, no solutions.
1 out of 100 reboots wifi works. I've gathered some logs of 1 of the moments wifi works. Hoping someone can figure something out. Tried lots of roms, nothing seems to work.

Forgot mentioning that both wifi and bluetooth show as trying to connect on notification bar, but when I go to settings and press on them, both say "turning on (wifi or bluetooth)" when the button is grayed out and off..

did you tried to use the cse flash in flashtool to fix this?

Did CSE flash, normal flash, TOT factory reset, wiping wifi's definitions.. Nothing seems to work :crying:

More info:
During the night, I removed the battery from the phone and booted my phone. After that Bluetooth would work, and Bluetooth adress would show up on "Hardware informations". Then, I turned off bluetooth and tried to put it back on. Bluetooth adress disappeared and my bluetooth would not turn on. Hope anyone helps..

I'm having a very similar issue. Wifi and bluetooth won't turn on and cycle. On some reboots, Wifi will turn on but the phone will shut down shortly thereafter. I've tries several different ROM's and can fix the Wifi, but no the power not the shutting down.

I'm having the exact same problem but a bit worst. I can't even turn my phone on. Phone came back from repairing, guy couldn't fix it. Tried some rom's, many "fixes" from the internet, nothing. Seems like the only way to solve this will be by hardware..

exactly same problem with my g3 too
even i was using stock 30b firmware and after one week of usage it suddenly crashed and stuck in bootloop hence downgraded to lollipop and tried all roms,factory reset,different modems etc but still not fixed
waiting badly for an solution

I'm having pretty much the same problem, along with overheating and screen fading. I'm using stock Lollipop, never rooted. I've tried a factory reset and a new battery with no results.

Any solutions?

Guys I've sent my phone to a local repair shop and they said they took it to LG's official partner.. I've been waiting for a while and it doesn't look good.. A friend of mine bought a g3 recently. I suspect this problem comes from a corrupted or missing file. I'll ask him to help me on checking files if the local shop can't find a way to fix the phone. If everything fails, the only possible solution I see is a new main board or a new phone..

LG G4 H818P reboots when connected to internet

I need help with my LG G4 H818P, the phone reboots when I connect to internet. This happens with both Mobile Data and WiFi. I have V10L, Rooted, Xposed installed and activated, Viper4Android installed and activated.
The problem happens randomly, there is no specific time after which phone reboots after connecting to the internet. Some times it restarts immediately upon connection while sometimes once or twice in 30 minutes or so.
Please someone help me in pinpointing the issue. I can provide a list of all my software installed if any one wants to know that if any software is conflicting or doing this.
Any help will be appreciated.

Assalamualaikum.
I too faced the same problem. After turning on my WiFi it stucked. It's not turning off. I searched on the internet for the fix. But could not find it. So I came across a fix by myself. First u have to power off your device. Then power on. As soon as you power on the first thing you have to do is to go to setting and then go to WiFi(you should do this quickly otherwise u won't be able to go to WiFi settings). Then go to Advanced settings then turn off Scanning Always Available. See if this works?
