Hey
I recently flashed Miui English, latest version.
But I quickly faced the following issues :
- It didn't ask for my PIN.
- Wifi worked, but weird bugs occurred.
I found it weird, so I did what a topic advised : I edited /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini
The modifications were only applied to the power saving setting.
I rebooted and I'm not sure if it happened immediately but eventually wifi didn't even work anymore. So I installed CM7, no changes.
Flashed back the 3.4.3-11 Blur .sbf and ... no changes ! Data and cache Wipe doesn't change anything either. Of course I also restored the tiwlan.ini .
So whatever the ROM it is I'm using, "Invalid Sim card" and wifi "connects, disconnects, scans, connects, disconnects" but never ever connects.
How do I fix this ? It seems to be software-side 'cause it appeared when I installed Miui.
Please, it's scary.
Hello Everyone. I've searched XDA and the net high and low trying to figure out what is going on here, but it has come time to post. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
Bought my S3 from T-Mobile a few years ago, have installed a number of roms on it, but most recently updated to CM 10.2. I started having boot issues (phone would stop booting after a couple of restarts, not a sudden death syndrome phone, BTW). After using ODIN to load on root66-UVUEMJC (tmobile 4.3), and running into more issues, I ended up loading Stock 4.3 from Kies (yes, I realize this is a horrible mistake now).
That got me on my feet again, I used ODIN to install clockworkmod rom manager, then re-installed CM10.2. It was at this point where I noticed that I no longer had cellular network connectivity anymore. I've tried another t-mobile SIM in my phone to make sure it wasn't that, and it had the same problems:
On startup, my phone will connect to the cellular network and fill in all the fields under Status (including IMEI), but after a minute or so, I loose that and the device goes to "No Service". Nothing I've tried has been able to get this fixed. I have attempted to flash the latest modem as well with no luck.
As mentioned, any help would be greatly appreciated on what to look for / do to get this thing working so I don't have to drop a load on a new phone.
Thank you!
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".

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.

Hello to everyone! I have Samsung Ace 2x (GT-S7560M) with Public Mobile, Canada. After the phone become incredibly lagging, I have decided to flash it with custom ROM, which I successfully did following instructions on this forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...7#post50909757). I like my phone back again, the ROM is amazing.
BUT there are two huge issues - it is not connecting to Mobile Network and Bluetooth can not be enabled. (WiFi connects and working fine).
As I mentioned earlier I am with Public Mobile and able to make calls and recieve/send SMS messages with CM11. After every reboot there is message : "SIM card added. Restart your device to access the mobile network." , which can be easily bypassed by pressing right bottom button (not sure about the name, probably "Escape"). The phone indicates TELUS Network.
I read over the posts on this forum and tried to change settings in Prefered Network to GSM/CDMA auto(PRL). Also checked APN to Public Mobile (tried Telus as well) but no success in getting back 4g network.
Any suggestion? Really do not want to go back to official ROM

Unfortunately your issue with Bluetooth is super common with this phone and roms. In fact, as far as I'm aware there's not a single kitkat rom that doesn't disable Bluetooth. You might find a solution buried in one of the other threads pertaining to this phone, but I'm almost positive there's not a solution.
Just about every rom I've flashed for this phone gives me the sim card added message when I start it up, ignoring it is the best fix I've come across. Regarding your inability to connect to a network, it seems you've already tried everything I would have suggested. Which cm11 build did you flash, by the way?
If you can't get that sorted out you aren't stuck with going back to stock. There's also another cm11 build for the IIx/ Trend, as well as Omni 4.4.4, PAC 4.4.4, Beanatalk 4.4.3 and ALLEGEDLY SlimKat (I can't find the download link to save my life, but a few people have said someone ported slimrom to this phone).
Sorry I couldnt be of more help bru.
about my ROM
thank you for response, I am currently using CM11-20141114-UNOFFICIAL-kylessopen (240DPI) with gapps - kk -20140629-signed.
Hmm, the first time I flashed that same build I had quite a few issues and they rectified themselves when I flashed a different gapps. I think it was the January 2014 4.4.4 full package (when I've got some free time in an hour or so I'll let you know the exact one), which I found odd considering it was super out of date and yet cured what ailed me. Next time I flashed it the 20140629 package worked fine though, so who knows. You've tried redownloading that gapps package right? Sometimes an ever so slightly corrupted gapps zip can do this kind of stuff. Unfortunately I'm not super familiar with the ins and outs of this phone since its just to tide me over until I can afford to replace my Note 4 in earnest, so my ability to help here is mostly guesswork and drawing parallells. I hope you get this on the ropes dude. If you can't get it sussed out in the end I'd recommend going with Beanstalk. It doesn't have a working theme engine unfortunately and is ever so slightly more buggy (well, less buggy I. Your case I guess), but it's waaaaaaay more feature rich than either of the cm11 builds. If you value stability more than customization than Omnirom is your best bet. ALL of the roms for this phone are kinda glitchy, but I found Omnirom to be the least so.

About 3 days ago my phone started to have Wi-Fi disconnecting issues. I formatted everything outside of external sd card and put back the same rom I had installed with no previous issues, xdabbeb's 47a rooted following instructions 100% as I had previously. Still, wifi issues where it will connect / disconnect. Rebooting the phone or turning on / off wifi or even bluetooth has no effect. Complete randomness seems to "fix" it but wifi will only stay on for a few minutes at a time. Multiple other devices on my same network have no issues. Still, rebooted and even factory reset the router just to be sure. No change.
Something I thought was an isolated issue, I had a "no sim" message a few months ago and Verizon replaced my sim card and the problem seemed to go away. Today though, while trying another reformat, I got the "no sim" card on the initial setup screen and before even finishing the setup via wifi, the wifi disconnected multiple times.
I'm thinking hardware is to blame especially since there were no apps installed to conflict with the os software.
I'm really not wanting a new phone, should I look to replace the motherboard? I can diy it np. Or, should I bite the bullet and buy a ::shutter:: new phone.
Orrrr... is there anything else I should try software wise?
So since having issues and formatting down to internal storage and reinstalling the stock rooted 46a kdz with no positive results, I flashed the 10b and attempted to take the OTA's. The OTA's failed for 10b so I flashed the 24b and was able to take all the OTA's. I'm on 47a right now and haven't had any wifi issues. I'm going to give it a few days of usage to see if it's "fixed." Afterwards though, I plan to go back to the stock rooted 46a so I can use my rooted apps like titanium and hopefully find the issue still fixed. I do know there is a kingroot option for stock 47a, but I also find a lot of negativity about it's communication with sensitive data and installing apps behind the scene so I'd rather not go that route.
I'll keep updating in case anyone else has similar issues.
