Till now,more than 30 people have the problem, I really hope someone could help us!
Sorry about my broken english!
the problem happened like this:
1.the wifi botton is gray
2.flash any roms/baseband/kernel could't help anything.(wipe is done.cwm or fastboot)
3.many phones' wifi broked after some day the phone restart itself .
4.after the phone reboot is completed, they tried to connect any hotspot,but the wifi setting is stucked at "wifi is opening".
5.some people changed their antenna,nothing happended.(the phone has no warranty in china)
6.wifi mac and bt mac is "Not available"
hope for a sollution!thank you!
Sorry about my broken english!

why there's nobody here
so.. these 30 people all have galaxy nexus? or what?
they all connect to different hotspots/APs?
What? they changed their own antennae?
I would suggest to try changing the router to another channel if possible, setting a static IP, then perhaps a different encryption on the router, for a start
Hardware failure, because the wrong baseband was flashed... If it grey, that means it's on, and mostly connected, but it doesn't have the connection to the internet, and where it says "WiFi is opening" that is also because of the radio
You need to set it to your carrier/country you can't just use any ROM/radio

The wifi is opening,but not connecting,form the router you can find that.
The phone hasn't been released in china,so the chinese have to buy the phone from other countries.And the baseband they have flashed I think is various,because of the signal is worse than other phones which have a banseband for china.hope you can understand my poor english= =
Since I've updated to Android 4.3 on my Galaxy Nexus (Maguro), I've noticed an issue with the WiFi. Sometimes, when entering the range of a known WiFi network, my device doesn't automatically connect, as if it doesn't know I'm in range or hasn't scanned for the WiFi networks nearby. This issue has been reported on the official Google Bugs tracker here. -->
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=58230
If you have this issue, please visit this link and star/report it so that Google will know. For now, I've found a few ways to resolve the problem, and wanted to share them.
Solution 1: When I go into Settings < Wi-Fi to view the WiFi networks, I notice that at first it shows the network I'm trying to connect to as "Not in range," but then it immediately connects to it.
Solution 2: I also found that turning WiFi off completely, and then back on again allows my device to see the network and connect.
Both solution 1 and 2 are manual fixes. While both are easy to do, they require you to actually take action to reconnect to your network. This can cause you to miss notifications, etc. if you aren't aware of what's going on. I didn't like that too much, so I made a simple Tasker profile to help.
Solution 3: This requires a little bit of knowledge about Tasker, but I'll try to explain it well enough that anyone can get the profile setup and working.
First we will create a Task called "Wifi fix." This task will have 2 simple actions.
Disconnect Wifi
Reconnect Wifi
Now we need to create a profile to trigger the task. I'll name it "Wifi Fix Profile."
This is going to have 3 context triggers that all have to be met before it will execute our Wifi fix task, all are state contexts.
First we will use Wifi State Connected, with the Invert Checkbox checked
Then, Variable value "%WIFI" matches "on". Both "%WIFI" and "on" are case sensitive, so be careful.
Lastly, Display State "ON". This one is optional. I added it because I don't want wifi constantly disconnecting/reconnecting while my phone is asleep if I'm not near a network. So instead, the profile can only trigger while I'm actually using the phone.
After that, all you need to do is go into Profile Settings (by long pressing the profile name) and set a cooldown. I use 5 minutes, you can use anything (or nothing) you want.
Basically, what this profile does is when your wifi is on but not connected to a network, then it forces a scan for wireless networks by disconnecting, then reconnecting wifi. Simple, and it works.
Theory:
Now that we have a workaround, back to the problem. Based on the solutions listed, namely solution number 1, I believe that the problem lies with how often/ when WiFi networks are scanned for. This could be due to the new WiFi Setting Google added in 4.3, "Scanning always available". It has been reported that disabling this does not fix the issue, but I haven't tried it myself. I also tried changing the wifi scan interval in build.prop, but that didn't seem to make a difference.
Hope this helps some of you!
I had problems with Wi-Fi on 4.2 so I just got in the habit of expecting Wi-Fi to be a little wonky and haven't paid much attention to it on 4.3. Have you noticed the same issue on custom roms as well? I'm running slim bean is why I ask.

Can someone please verify for me, so I know its not just me, that network speed tests using speedtest.net are erratic and performance is horrible when bluetooth is on and connected. My theory is also that it continually gets worse over time to the point that your wifi begins to actually stutter and stall.

Yes, I do have the issue on both custom and the stock factory image. I am also currently on Slim Bean Beta 1 (it's my favorite), but I also had the issue on Cataclysm.

Expose your case here:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list
Then come here and recruite some people to star your posted issue, the more stars the more atention Google puts on the issue. If you do it, add 1 star from me for sure.
I also have this problem with my GNex running CM10.2 nightly 0708. It is a real shame that google introduces a new bug in 4.3.
Android 4.2 suffers from a similar bug and they never fixed it and promised to fix this in 4.3 and now we encounter a new one :crying:
The 4.3 problem is already tracked here https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=58230 I think.
Will test your tasker profile and report if it works. From your description it sounds like a good workaround for this bug.

OP edited with link to Official Google Bug tracker, thanks for finding this!
I also changed up the tasker profile to disable wifi and then enable it again instead of just disconnecting and reconnecting. Seems to work better.

I promised to give feedback for testing the tasker profile. After 3 days I am sure that the tasker profile described in OP is working fine.
For me it is a good workaround. But I am still hoping that google will fix the problem, because for normal users this must be a real annoying bug.
I'm not experiencing any dropping issue..I'm curious about one thing anyway, all of the guys are experiencing dropping issues are actually running latest bootloader and latest radio? did you change RIL? latest means from 4.3 jrr update, and RIL well, you tell me..

It's not a "dropping" issue, but rather a reconnecting issue. When entering range of a known, configured WiFi network, our devices don't connect to the network automatically.
As far as being on the latest, bootloader, radio, and RIL, yes, I am. I flashed the factory image way before flashing any 4.3 custom firmware, and I had the issue there, as well as on the custom firmware.

Well, I believe we have a radio/ril issue here.. I saw this happening multiple times during years.. Update to new fw, new radio, new ril, poor/problematic connection...sure the problem here is a bit weird but, is well known that a certain radio module doesn't work in the same way in every part of the planet, same goes for its interface libraries..I honestly don't know why you and many others flash a factory image when a new Fw pops up..if it's a matter of having the latest stuff, OK, but if someone claims it is mandatory then it's absolutely pointless and 100% wrong..the hour before 4.3 appeared on Goole platform I extracted the system image and booted a working ROM.. That's it..I will never ever flash a factory image unless it is a matter of sending my device to the manufacturer for repairing...so I currently have old radio, old ril, old bootloader, new 4.3 roms, and I don't have the issue...of course it is just a theory, and could be 100% unrelated but it is worth trying another radio, possibly with its ril but this last thing doesn't really matter on a nexus device...bootloader afaik it is not related with radio module so i wouldn't change it but the point is that the radio gives different performance according to the zone where it is used..edit: I just flashed latest radio, all is fine..this could be both a proof of my theory is wrong or right...I would try If I were you.

I'm going to try a different radio now because I'm curious, but I wasn't aware that the radio had ANYTHING to do with wifi. I thought the radio was only the mobile radio. Was I mistaken?

yes, you was, my friend; radio has everything to do with gsm/umts, wifi/bluetooth connections...it is exactly what a radio module does in the phone, to be precise, radio.img is that piece of software that virtually connect the radio chipset hardware with the basic software..the RIL (radio interface layer) instead, is what connect the software previously mentioned with the actual OS (the rom), but I read somewhere it is not so important in aosp roms, while it very important in other OS, propietary ones, like HTC (that has a specific RIL different from the asop one)...
You probably know it as "baseband", which is how google used to define it..in samsung environment is a.k.a as "modem" , whatever you call it, we are talking about the same thing, I keep calling it "radio" because of the old froyo times we learned to call this way, since changing the baseband it's just changing the radio.img..now, be very careful, flashing this kind of stuff may brick your device IF something goes wrong in the flashing process..however, I flashed tons of radios, and I've never experienced any hard brick..here on maguro we have the opportunity to fash it from recovery which is what I suggest you to do, so you'll avoid any issue whatsoever, and remeber, it may not be related to your problem but, as I stated before, radio module controls all the wireless signals, included network/provider frequencies, their range, and their geo-location, as well as bluetooth, and anything communicate wirelessly into your phone, it's worth to give it a shot in my opinion..here some extra info for you:

Ok so in the past hour I've noticed that my phone has disconnected from my wifi a few times. It does connect straight away however when I try to load a page it won't load and I have to wait a little while longer until it works again.
Has anyone else had wifi issues with this device?
Any body have any wifi issues at all?
Yeah I'm having the same issue with my home's wifi.
Doesn't seem to occure at work though(or maybe I haven't noticed it since I do work there).
Talking about the 4g version.
Hi, thanks for the reply.
Apparently this is a common issue with the S4 as well. I did update my routers firmware yesterday and it didn't disconnect at all last night however ill keep watch on it.
have you tried anything to fix it?

Haven't tried anything yet.
I'll probably try flashing the latest fw at some point - which I think doesn't void your warranty.
If you find something out, let us know. I'll do the same.

I've got a new router coming from Sky. (Sky Hub.) I'll see how that acts before I flash my phone.
Let me know how you get on.
Can anyone explain how to get the MH5 Firmware and what steps need to be taken to flash it?
Yes I am too. I made another thread asking if people knew if the 9190, 9192 and 9195 have different wifi antennas. I am really bummed out over this.
Can you describe the wifi issue you have? What FM are you running?
No Wifi issues here.
So I did have issues, but that was the fail of Xposed-Framework, without that framework, there is no problem.
As a matter of fact you are able to stop the Wifi Power Safe Mode und the Service Mod (*#0011#) ... That stops a lot of Issues

hello , i have problem with my new htc m9 it cant connect to wifi networks ???
wifi turned on but cant see or connect to any network
my android os 5.0.2
please help
Have you tried a Factory Reset?
Same Problem
Exactly the same problem I think the problem from sim.. Slide out and do restore factory settings... Wifi will appear relates and you can contact. But if you put sim you cant contact and dont see the network.we need update from htc because this problem in some contry
I from syria ????
I'm not having the exact same problem but I am having a problem with WiFi
Yesterday I received my wife's M9 upgrade and started setting it up. I noticed it was going REALLY slow downloading over Wi-Fi, so I activated the SIM and it dropped off the home network. It immediately picked up pace and apps began making download progress. I have more than a dozen other devices working without issue on my home network. When I reconnected it and attempted to reach any website, it just stalls.
Tonight I'll try pulling the SIM out and / or Factory Reset to see if I can get it working.
same problem
i have the same problem what should we do?
I returned my device and got another new one. Immediately out of the box it seemed to be working better but developed similar issues. I disabled a setting named minimize battery use on Wi-Fi and that seems to have improved it, but it still seems to have issue with my 5mhz 802.11AC router.
I think we can live with it the way it is, until they push a fix. Hopefully a fix anyway.

DNS issue?
My problem is similar to what Jason V described. My phone connects to my home WiFi okay, but the internet connection alternates between working very slowly, or not at all. Strangely, removing the SIM card from the phone fixes the WiFi connection, but as soon as I reintroduce the SIM card, the WiFi issues return.
I'm going to attempt changing the DNS server to see if that helps at all. If it does I'll let you know.

problem completly solved with new update (1.32.401.17) from dear htc
Still...
Mine version is 1.32.841.15 but the problem is still there... I can't use Wi-Fi....
I could before but now after a few updates I can't... ( Just to be sure that we have same problem, I can turn Wi-Fi on but it doesn't show any networks.)
Solved
Simply update to latest build which as by now is : 1.32.501.17 and fortunately solve 2 M9 devices wifi for me.
you can find these Ota updates in here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/development/ota-1-32-401-15-firmware-noredtext-t3072571

I was chatting to HTC for about one hour! But our biggest problem was that they don't know there is such a problem! They thought it's a problem just for me.
I informed them about it (at least, informed the chat person!) so I think we can expect an update from HTC in few weeks...
And that's weird that we can use Wi-Fi Hotspot but not connecting even finding networks!
I think the best is to wait a little...
But I'm still really confused that how did some other people updated their phone to 1.32.501.17 not 1.32.841.15 ?!
Hello everyone i'm new here, some time ago i have updated my tablet's android version from 4.3 to 4.4.2 through ota update, after about one month later my tablet started having a weird wifi problem (i don't know if it is related to ota update or not) my tablet shows good wifi signal but it wont connect (it connects only when it is near router's antenna though and this is really weird) and no it is not a router problem because it is the same problem everywhere, i tried EVERYTHING to fix this problem (wifi fixer apps, factory reset, reinstalled android firmware with samsung kies, rooted my tablet and even installed a custom rom) but none of these methods didn't solve the problem.
Does anyone knows how to fix this problem? did i miss something??? could it be a bad kernel? or maybe a bad configuration that should be changed manually, or is it just a hardware problem?
Did you try with stock Lollipop firmware?
