Wifi grayed out

This has been going on for some time now. I cannot actually pinpoint when it happened. But whenever I am at work, I can connect to the network and it's grayed out. I can still browse and use some app but I don't get notifications from my apps and cannot use Google Talk, for example. That entire app is grayed out.
It's an 802.1x EAP - PEAP - MSCHAPV2.
Anyone got any ideas or tricks to fix this? It used to work before and it doesn't. I do not believe anything changed on our end. And I also cannot just restart the router at work. Thanks in advance.

Can you access gmail directly? Sounds like google services may be blocked by your network admin? Just a guess...

Im trying to understand what exactly is happening with you.
Are you getting a wifi signal and no notifications?
or are you not getting any wifi signal at all?
If you are getting a connection but notifications and google apps dont work, it could be that your work router those ports blocked or has a firewall infront of it.
If you are not getting any wifi signal at all, I would try and backup everything, and do a factory rest - update. basically a stock, unrooted wipe and reflash.

Don't know why our how to fix it. But I know that if your wifi is gray you still have data connection. And if it's blue your connected to Google services as well
Jellin' like a felon

Okay, thanks guys. The ports may be blocked. I get WiFi connection, but the indicator is grayed out. When that is so, I can still go into an app and use it with manual refreshes but I never get notifications automatically like I'm supposed to. They only start to pop in one I leave with and get back in the cellular network. And for an app like gtalk, I cannot use whatsoever as I'm signed out.

This happened to me before and basically it was how my IT guy setup our WiFi network in our office. I couldn't use any Google push services on my phone (gmail, gtalk, calender, etc...). Every thing would work fine when I was on data connection, but would stop on WiFi. I just stopped using my work WiFi when I was in the office. It definitely had something to do with the firewall/privileges of the WiFi network.

port blocked..
google push notification and so gtalk need ports like 5222,5223,5228
usually in a work wifi only port 80 (http traffic) and 443 (httpS traffic) are open

Yea... but I'm on one of these tiered data plans from Verizon where I hit at or near the cap every month. I'm trying to use free WiFi as much as possible lol
Thanks again to all.

Do you have wifi set to turn off when the display turns off?

I came across this thread because I'm having the same problem with my GS3, the only thing that solved it was installing a WiFi manager app from the market.

Factory reset plus downgrading from 4.2.2 to 4.2.0 was the only thing that worked for me.

FIX FOR GREY WIFI/MOBILE DATA, and google account sync
HI THERE, sorry im new to e forum, anyways im using a SGS 3LTE with custom rom CM 10.2 android 4.3, CWM touch recovery. So many people are not able to connect to the play store and services over wifi, but only over mobile data. Another issue is that the cellular data and wifi tend to remain grey, unlike that of android 4.0 and back which remains blue. So to solve this heres what i did.
DID EVERY F**KING CRAP OUT THERE. DIDNT WORK.
What i did: use a file manager with root access, look for 'hosts' file in systempath 'system/etc/' and deleted it. So far so good, its permanently blue for both wifi and cellular data, and also i am able to access google apps and store without a hitch.
DO SHARE WITH ME UR FINDINGS/RESULTS AND SPREAD THE LOVE PEOPLE
On a side note: i used to flash and modify small roms for my old htc hd2, but the above fix was heard from a website from god knows where LOL, im singaporean, i speak singlish, and im proud of it so im not gonna apologise for the broken english

In case this helps anyone, the way I solved it at home with my Galaxy Nexus is by changing the setting of the router to Wireless G or N only. I have two routers, so I set one on 802.11g and the other on 802.11n only. By default my DLinks came with mixed wireless protocols. The problem with this is that it seems to confuse devices. That's why they also used to take long to connect to Wifi in general. Since I've made them only one standard now, they connect very quickly. Also, because I had mixed B, G and N on my best router, I never got to really use N. Turns out I had my authentication on WEP, and the only way you're getting N is by using WEP2 with AES.

Fix is here
Hello There, I tried to reset phone,clearing chache,Data but it wont work but now
I have a quick solution on this issue and grey wifi becomes blue in some minutes.
All you need is "Rooted Phone"
1.Install : Root Explorer
2. Grant SuperSU permission to Root Explorer
3. Mount Root Explorer into Read/Write (R/W).
4. Go To System > etc > locate "HOSTS" file in etc folder.
5. Edit Hosts file using root explorer
6. Insert the symbol # before the second set of IP address numbers then save the changes and exit.
7. Reboot your phone...
8. wifi icon will be blue as you start your phone back and some apps like Google play store,keep,etc will be start as normal.
Thanks.

Getting No 3G/4G.

Hi,
It started yesterday afternoon, I am not getting any 3G/4G signal on my Note 2. I thought it maybe a "Sprint tower down" problem but when I got home my wifes (unrooted) phone had no issues. I've tried turning airplane mode on/off, restarting and pulling the battery. Nothing worked.
Late last night I got 4G back and I thought everything was ok. But this morning it was back to no data.
My Mobile network settings:
Data enabled (checked)
Network mode: CDMA+LTE/EVDO
When I go to Network operators it gives me "error when searching for networks" and Sprint is not on there.
When I press "choose automatically" it just sits there saying "automatic registration.
I'm on ParanoidAndroid version 3.99-RC2
Kernel: 3.0.64-CM-gbc8f4c9
PRL # 55015
Before I flash back to stock does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Randy

I was thinking of that. But I wasn't quite sure how to do it on a AOSP rom. It's easy on a touchwiz.
I ended up factory reseting and flashing back to the previous version of the PA rom. It's working for now. Maybe just a bug in RC2?
Thanks for the suggestion.

Not sure how well this works with Rooted phones, but try updating your data profile in Setting>System Update. If that doesn't do it try dialing ##72786# and let it go through SCRTN. Again, not sure what effect this will have on a rooted phone, but it's worth a shot. If all else fails call customer care and have them refresh SPS, GEMALTO, and OMA in that order.

I can never get these "##***#" codes to work. I'm wondering if that is because my phone is rooted? Am I missing a step? Thanks.

Hmmm, I just tried it on mine, but it didn't work either... I wonder if it's because it's a non TW rom, and maybe the TW roms have it built in by samsung for sprint. I'm getting ready to flash back to a TW rom, I'll report back with details, for science.
Edit: For science. Flashed digiblur, tested SCRTN, it worked. HFA, PRL update, all ok, phone rebooted and works without issue. So, if you are keeping score, SCRTN works in TW roms, but not AOSP, or so it seems.

If you guys can, back up your current AOSP build and flash a stock one click. Current "safe" PRL is 2006 so once you get on you'll probably get that pushed to your device. Bet that will fix your problems. Then simply restore your AOSP backup.

APNs switching?

Starting about .. oh, 3 or 4 months ago, I've noticed my phone dropping data, OR, getting stuck on 'E' or 'G' symbols, even in areas that have LTE. Every time I notice this, I go into APN Settings, and I find that the selected APN has changed. (Usually from 'T-Mobile US LTE' to just 'T-Mobile US'..)
I don't have any APN apps or anything, but have been running AOSP v4.3 (then v4.4) since about the same time this started.
Any ideas on what to check? Am I going crazy? (Is my phone going crazy?)

You could delete the APN's that you don't want it to switch to. Just leave yourself with the one you want, and it shouldn't be able to change.
Now that MIGHT cause it to switch to nothing, leaving the phone without any connection. But if that happens a revert to the nandroid backup you make before trying this would fix it, at least back to what you have now.

Okay -
This didn't work, but it DID change the.. er.. way to fix -
What happens is that the data symbol will vanish - no data. Voice works okay. Since there's only ONE APN, if I go into the settings, it's still selected. (Leading me to believe that when I had multiple APNs, the top one WASN'T actually 'selected', the code was just marking the first one as active, when none were. Silly Radio lists..)
I had to add and save a 'dummy' APN entry, then select it, and then reselect my real APN, and it starts working.
It happens maybe once every other day, so it's not a big issue.

Have you tried to force LTE?

Yeah - the phone seems to ignore that. Meaning that, it will still drop data, forcing me to unselect and reselect.
Though, I spoke to the developer, and it looks like it's a ROM issue, actually, and I'm running the lastest build now, which is *supposed* to have the fix. We'll see after the holiday tomorrow.

Text now

Hoy hoy, my point and goal in this post is to get an answer for my question here. As well as a quick result to a Google search for anyone looking.
Text now is selling a galaxy s 3 for 99$. I had the T 999 model for T-Mobile and had good luck. But I know all too well the hazards of root.
So according to the info here, in the attached photos would I be in the right place. Also text now runs all the calling and texting thru data 4Glte so data is gone at 2Gb at that point there its all gotta be WiFi. Yam

You're in the right place

Im unsure if I will be able to use the native dialer. The stock Rom from this carrier always routes the calls thru the text now app. I have the bars for tower signal but it seems I won't be able to make calls unless I've a data connection, which will shut off completely once the allowed data is used. Then only works on wifi.
Am I doing something wrong or am I stuck with volte voice over lte?
And will this be changed during flash.
Any known hazards?

That you have modified the system

Okay well that makes sense because the phone number in settings and about phone is different than the phone number in text now and text now has rerouted any dials even from the native dialer over to their app to make calls. I wonder if I flash different ROM that has a native dialer allowed that I would call from the number in settings?
This root and flash will be very interesting I wonder what will happen I will definitely be posting the outcome.

I'll try and flash is stable rom and hope for the best

I went ahead and flashed an older Rom from 2013 the APN was not working properly. I should've pulled a log but didn't think of it. So I nand restored via cwm. Upon reboot I had two impassable errors logs providers stoped and android prosses.acore stopped surely the apn and latter issues are unrelated. Still I'm going to try and find a way around the apn issue. If it happens again (likely so) ill be sure to have a logcat .zip to flash as so not wasting time. Any suggestions for apn backup/restore apk's are helpfull. Thanks and sorry for the faulty question with no log for help to go on. Ill make sure I have one if I post again.

Straight talk LTE problems

Ive read a few posts about this APN issue. I tired over and over to do the sim card trick with my new pixel 2 xl from google on pie 9.0. It would not stick. Whats funny is when i factory reset the phone, the SIM activates just fine and i get LTE. As soon as i reboot the device I lose LTE. Nothing is changing in the APN settings from what i can see. The default loaded settings are correct, its missing the mmsc info but mms and lte work just fine. No idea what its deal is. I may just switch to an att sim card if this keeps happening. which sucks in my area. Ay suggestions?? I tried to boot twrp but when i fastbooted the img it would get past the screen pattern so i gave up. Also seems like once i updated to 9.0 im stuck with 9.0 roms? There isnt many of them so far....

wanted to add, USB tethering seems to work just fine, still have LTE. im afraid to restart my phone. I dont feel like factory resetting again. I wonder how long i can go without restarting my phone lol

I had a similiar issue with Verizon. When I would reboot I would lose LTE. In order to reboot without losing it I had to put phone in airplane mode, reboot, then turn off airplane mode and all was well. From what I read it is some type of provisioning bug. I don't think I've had this issue for a while now, it seems to be sporadic.

i travel for work a lot so i use 20 to 60gb a month on my phone. So the tether is important and with Verizon straight talk i usually get amazing service and speeds. Im coming from a Moto X pure that had no hotspot service detection, very open bootloader, tons of roms. I should have done more research on the pixel 2 before i bought it. I like everything else about it but the strange OS issues and the lack of support is a bummer. I figured google would have just left this phone very open and easy to tweak.

Yes and with that kind of data usage Project Fi
would not be a good fit for you.
