G4 won't show non-remembered wifi networks - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've noticed a new issue with my g4, it will only show wifi networks that I've previously connected to on the list. If I'm out of range of my remembered networks, it shows that there aren't any available. If I'm connected to a known network, it shows only that network on the list. I'm on vzw, rooted, xposed, and debloated. I recently went through the whole debloat list and I'm not sure if they're related or not because I didn't notice it until I tried to connect to a new network. I've attached a screenshot, there are 4 other networks that my chromebook sees just fine. Mirror of screenshot Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have no clue of it's because of something I've debloated or not. I haven't tried a factory reset yet.
Thanks!

I had this problem on 3 notes when I received an upgrade to lollipop

wifi network detection issues

I recently bought new note 10.1 2014 edition wifi only version. Out of the box it had troubles in detecting my home wifi network. I managed to fix by enabling and disabling wps connection settings from my ZYXEL wifi router. But the problem appeared again in a month with just one reset of the router. My galaxy S2 and S3 have no trouble finding my network so I don't understand why the tablet can't. Both the phones actually more networks than the tablet actually so it's not limited just for my own router. I really hate Samsung for this. I believe the issue is not about hardwarehere.
S2 is running on neatrom latest version. S3 is running on original firmware 4.1 from Samsung and is not rooted yet.
I have been running into similar wifi problems without a real solution. I've noticed it had helped a little too connect to a 2.4ghz network versus 5ghz. But that cuts out the new wireless ac band that this tablet wad suppose to work with.

After your suggestion I digged into the settings of the router. I could not find the option you mentioned but managed to get it working by changing to 802.11b+g+n to 802.11b+g. I am sure this was not a problem before but helped for now.
Anyone else with similar troubles..I wonder if only mine is buggy piece...
i just got the note 10.1 2014 edition wifi only version and i am having problems with the wifi i have a rooted phone which i use the hotspot and my wives phone is connected to the hotspot and my laptop i have no issues with it but just as soon as i connect my table the 4g signal cuts in and out all the time any ideas on what i problem could be
This is a problem with the Note 3 too... Samsung seem to screwed the wifi drivers badly. I found going to wifi, hitting settings again brought up an advanced menu and unticking "scanning always available" and "auto network switch" fixes it a bit...
Thanks for the information I will give it a try
Hi. Recently set up with a new wifi hub and phone, laptop and tablet (Note 10.1) all connected fine. Even more recently the signal gave up in certain parts of the house so a lot of settings were changed, including network name. Phone and laptop found them fine and have been working ok but tablet can't find the network at all. No way of downloading apps onto tablet and diagnosing the problem but save changing the settings again and risking the signal going back to rubbish in the top of the house, is there anything I can do to figure out the problem?

[Q] Wifi issues

Hey guys,
So all of a sudden, my wifi is searching and not connecting in a campus setting. My Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 is still connected to the same wifi my Note 4 was. I have tried rebooting, removing battery, shutting off and on data and wifi, and airplane mode. Nothing reconnects it. Also tried forgetting all networks since there are 5 when searching for networks it finds and reconnecting to one, still no dice. It's been 4 hours, still can't reconnect. Any ideas?

Have you tried to forget the network and then ADD it with + Add Wi-Fi network? I actually had an issue playing with a Galaxy note 10.1 2012 edition, I turned my hotspot (sprint note 4) on and named it the same as our current network (was showing how open networks aren't always the network they say and anybody can create a Starbucks-Guest network.... I used starbucks-guest because I didn't want to put my schools on here). The tablet didn't see the network even after reboots, but when I added the network manually it connected right away. Also was this connecting to the same access points or different ones on the other side of campus?
Yep tried forgetting, re-adding the wifi spot and nothing.
I've been having wifi connection issues since day one of getting this phone.
Not sure if I have the same problem.
But at least once a day, it seems the phone can no longer make a connection to my wifi.
The only solution is to either just power off the phone and restart or do what Sprint asked me to do.
Sprint said to try and reset the network connection information by dialing ##72786#
The phone will power off and then restart do some background stuff and then power off again and restart.
Once that is done, all is fine.
I've never had this happen on any other of my Android devices. I even use a static IP with my phone setup.
And yes, I have tried just using the default of DHCP.
I had thought it was my router (Asus RT-AC68U) which transmits both 2.4ghz and 5ghz. I have both setup and I try to use 5ghz the most.
I did upgrade the router software because I was one version behind, but that did not fix anything.
Also, I had a Sprint femocell in my house (provided for free from Sprint) because I had bad signal issues years ago.. But because this phone uses LTE and now it seems the phone comes with built-in WiFi Calling. (Means instead of using the cellular network it will use my network and ISP to make Sprint calls, all voice and text messages come through normally, it's basically a built-in femocell).
I returned that, whoops still in the box, need to get that mailed out fast.
I'm not sure how widespread this issue is, but I suspect it's bigger that just the two of us here. And if I'm in the wrong thread, please let m know.
Thanks
Rob

[Q] Suddenly can't see my 2.4GHz wifi.

Hey all
I have a T-800 with IronRom on it. Everything was working fine for almost 2 months now. Starting yesterday, my tab is unable to find my 2.4GHz WiFi, but is still able to find/connect to my 5GHz WiFi or other 2.4GHz networks (public hotspots).
Other devices see the 2.4GHz network fine, and can connect to it. I've just rebooter the router and payed closed attention to what happened. Once the router is online, i can briefly see the 2.4GHz network, i tried to connect to it and my tablet asks for the wpa2 key. When i entered it (it's pretty long) i clicked connect, but the network was already listed "out of reach" by then.
Some more info:
I have rebooted all related devices
Tablet CAN connect to 5GHz network
Tablet CAN'T connect to 2.4GHz network (out of reach)
Other devices (laptop, phones) CAN connect to the 2.4GHz network
Tablet CAN connect to other 2.4GHz network
I have tried a Wifi Analyzer app, that also can't see the 2.4GHz network.
What could cause this or how could i diagnose/fix this issue? Any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks a bunch in advance!
Perhaps some program you've installed recently has made changes to the system or settings that's prohibiting connection?
You seemed to have established there is nothing wrong with your network, and even the device can use both bands...
I would backup, reset the device and see if its still an issue.

Thanks for your reply! I have performed a reset and the problem persists. I have contacted Samsung support and they say it's a hardware issue and i should send it in.
The repairs are outsourced to Dynafix (can't post URL because I'm a new user). Any idea on how they handle rooted tablets with a custom OS? Should i tell them upfront?
You should get it as far back to stock as you can... ie - odin a stock rom.
If its indeed a hardware issue then it shouldn't matter but don't give them that reason.
I managed to fix the problem with the suggestion of a friend. My 2.4GHz connection's channel setting on the router was set to automatic. I assigned it a fixed channel and it immediately popped back into my available networks. Weird problem, but I'm glad i didn't send it in for repairs because they would've charged me for it.
Had the same problem and it was rom related. I changed the rom and coud enable auto channel again in my router...

Sprint S6 MM update and wifi issues

I just took the 6.0.1 update for the Sprint S6, and I am having some interesting wifi issues. I can't get any sort of Internet connection at home, even though it is connected to the network. However, I went to Starbucks and I was able to get a connection there. Then I come to work, and I get no connection here. I had read that the Verizon S6 had similar issues with the update, and it had to do with MM having issues with tkip encryption. Can anyone confirm that this could be the problem with the Sprint update?

I was experiencing extremely bad/slow wifi connectivity after installing MM. I deleted my my wifi extension configuaration (MM kept connecting to my wifi extender difinition - slower speed). That improved wifi performance close to pre-MM. Also turned of smart network switch (settings - more - smart network switch) witch seemed to improve the reliability of my wifi connection.

I am having this same problem too. I am also having issues with text messages not sending.
My network connection, both at home and traveling, has been flawless. My suggestion to you would be to switch your home router at AES, see if that resolves the issue and then switch back and see what happens.
There is at least one ticket open on Google's Android site regarding the TKIP issue. Open since May, I might add.

Issue connecting CCA

I have a CCA which was working wonderfully till now.
But, I am facing issues recently. It won't show up n streaming option on my any Music Apps, not on my Android Phone or PC. It also shows as unavailable on Goggle Home app.
For a few weeks it was hit and miss regarding it showing up as an option. Now it's totally missing. Can anybody help please?
One of the reason might be change of WiFi Modem/Router due to change of provider. But, I am not sure. Any particular setting to check in router?
If you changed your wifi network name or passcode, you will need to reset the CCA and set it up to the new network.

It's possible that the issue you're experiencing is related to the change in your WiFi modem/router. It's also possible that there could be other factors at play. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
Check to make sure that your CCA is powered on and properly connected to your network.
Make sure that your CCA is up to date with the latest firmware.
Check your router settings to ensure that the CCA is allowed to connect to the network.
Restart your router and CCA. Sometimes, simply restarting the devices can resolve connectivity issues.
If you've recently changed your WiFi modem/router, try restoring the CCA to its factory default settings and then set it up again from scratch. This will help to ensure that the CCA is properly configured for your new network.
If you've tried all of these steps and are still having issues, it is necessary to contact the manufacturer of your CCA for further assistance. They may be able to provide additional troubleshooting steps or identify any underlying issues with the device.
