Since upgrading to BMB4 I am having an issue at work where my phone will not switch between access points properly. It appears to be a problem with the phone *disconnecting* from the access point when I no longer have a strong enough signal. If I walk from my desk to another part of the building, it still says I am connected with a strong signal, even though I am not connected at all.
In fact, several times when driving home I have looked down after realizing I haven't received any e-mails in a while to see that my phone still thinks I should be connected to the wifi at my desk.
The only workaround I have found so far is, if I go from my desk to another part of the building, turn wifi off and back on, then do it again when I return to my desk, or anytime I notice that my phone thinks I have a strong wireless signal but I don't.
I tried a full factory reset, but no dice. Had absolutely no problem prior to BMB4.
Anyone else seen anything similar? Any ideas? Anything buried in the service menus that could be wrong? If not, would rooting and reflashing the radio be likely to help (can you give me a link to the right one to try if so)?
Thanks!
The radio wouldn't have anything to do with it. You are probably a victim of just some simple file corruption. It happens, I see this more with OTAs than anything. That "transitioning" from one OS to another while attempting to preserve precious data.
I would recommend you root it, install "TWRP" 2.5.0.0 for your device (which is basically a recovery or "bios" for the device - or basically a kernel), and then install a ROM that has been updated to BMB4... off the top of my head, i would say you should give tweaked 2.0 a try. It's solid (others are as well, but i know for certain that one will give you zero issues similar to the one you are reporting.)
The links for twrp, with instruction on how to install can be found in the "orginal development section" and the tweaked ROM can be found in the plain "development section" of the forum here.
As I said, very likely that your issue can be resolved by starting 100% fresh. New system install (which is not formatted when you wipe data obviously)
So again, root, install twrp recovery, install tweaked 2.0. Follow directions to the T.
Good luck
I was reading and wondering if I actually wrote that question. That is EXACTLY what is happening to me since the update. I never have an issue at home, it is just moving from AP to AP at work and also being 'connected' when I am miles away from the AP. I don't really want to factory reset, so I tried turning off wifi power saving using "*#0011#" and that seems to be working...
[SIZE="4"I used the CF-Auto-Root and have been running C-Rom with the lean kernel for about a month or so. Originally after rooting back in January I used Cyanogen Rom Snapshot M5. Anyway ever since I rooted my phone I tripped the knox counter and it still pops up SELinux Reinforcing every time I reboot or turn on my note 3. I there a way to fix and reset this as I am not running stock Samsung Firmware so I have not tried triangle root yet. Also, I have not been able to use my NFC or connect to my WiFi at home although when I go to other places that have WiFi I can connect just fine. I was wondering if anyone else is having the same issue's I have read a lot of threads and still can't find a solution. If I need to unroot then re-root using another method. I tried the NFC fix and it said successful when I ran it through my recovery but it didn't do anything. I also tried to fix the app2sd card and have not been able to do so either. I was wondering if someone can help me out or point me in the right direction. Thanks![/SIZE]
NFC FIX
Please help I tried the NFC Fix that was recommended and it messed up my phone bad. It was for the Canadian Version and now I have to do a restore, but if someone could please tell me how to fix the NFC problem with the CF-Auto-Root and if there is a way to fix the unstable WiFi too that would be great thanks
First, I've had this issue since Build 6.8. I was hoping a Clean Install using Philz Touch Recovery v6.48.4, which is the latest, and selected Wipe Data and select Clean to install new ROM which Formats /data, /cache, /system. I also wiped Dalvik.
Once completed I did the following:
Clean Install of Slim-d2lte-4.4.4.build.7.0-OFFICIAL-5979
I then installed
Slim_full_gapps.BETA.4.4.4.build.7.x-190
Rebooted and waited for SlimKat to boot-up. WiFi/Data both full scale. Everything Restored just fine and things are running smooth.
Then after running a few errands outside of WiFi Range, I returned home within WiFi range only to find out that WiFi had not reconnected. It tells a WiFi connection is available but will not reconnect to it. So I go into Setting and select WiFi and tried to manually reconnect. It says connecting and then goes back to Saved Connection without connecting. This same thing on other WiFi connections such as McDonald's or other open WiFi Connections.
I then do a re-boot and everything is back to normal. WiFi connects without issue and again things are fine and running smooth.
Every time I leave WiFi range and then return within WiFi range, the problem re-occurs. A Re-Boot and everything back to normal.
One thing I've always noticed when doing a Clean Install as stated above, all of my previously stored WiFi connection are still there. Same on Ringtone/Notification Tones.
With the problem I'm having, could it be something that is not being wiped/cleared out during the Clean Install process. Or wondering if it could be somehow that the WiFi Radio has gotten corrupted.
I have also tried different Kernels but again the result is the same.
Hope this is not too much of a noob question and I have searched about everything I can think of. Wondering if anyone has had this problem or have any ideas of what could cause the problem.
I really hope I can get this figured out. Thanks
If you don't have to manually reconnect and enter your password, then its not being wiped. (Or you are restoring it from a backup.) Have you tested it after the clean flash, but before restoring anything? What are you restoring and how?
It sounds like a Rom issue otherwise and you should probably ask in the rom thread.

First I don't know what I've missed wiping. When I say restoring, I'm referring to letting Google re-downloading everything from the Play Store.
I know the WiFi radio are in a different location but like you, when I do a Clean Install by formatting /data /cache /system and wiping dalvik, I wasn't expecting all the stored WiFi connections to still be there, but they are.
Its possible its being restored by Google's backup, but I don't use it myself so I'm not certain about that. Its also possible the rom may save the config file elsewhere. Again though, I don't use cm/aosp based roms so I'm not too familiar with any of their specifics.
Next time you try a clean flash, do not sign into google during setup. Instead go straight to testing wifi to see if it still remembers the connections. Do you have it set to auto connect to any open networks? If so you might want to turn that off.
Have you searched or asked in the roms thread yet? It might be a known issue or something a few others have encountered and know how to fix.

Ya I don't sign into Google at the initial start up after the flash because my WiFi is no able to connect. I will double check the auto connect feature. But I having this issue with other 4.4.4 ROMs also because I tired however on those ones I am amvle to toggle WiFi on but in advanced it has the region set to Europe and when I switch it to Canada it doesn't want to save the change
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..
How about your imei?

I have an old twrp backup from boot and system partitions, do those contain them?
@myclarity while in twrp choose restore and check if your backup contain them
check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/efs-lg-g3-efs-backup-restore-t2907329

Also, forgot to say that, if I try to turn on wi-fi, if I connect my phone to my computer, computer will recognize I attached something and will start charging the phone, but I won't be able to transfer items to my phone since it won't appear anywhere on my pc..

Same situation here. Only 6.0 shows 02:00:00:00:00:00. Try everything, like you
I have more than 20 twrp backup with efs, modem etc, nothing work. I also can't boot from cm13.
Waiting for a solution

I think I found a solution but I can't test it since I'm having problems connecting my phone to my PC ( another problem appeared..)
May I ask yo to install busybox and try this on adb?
adb shell
su
busybox iplink show wlan0
and see if it shows your real adress, if it does
busybox ifconfig wlan0 hw ether (adress)
busybox iplink show wlan0

I don't have my phone with me, sent it to repairing. Any news?
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 g3

what is the exact problem ur facing in ur phone.
Hello guys!
I have weird problem!
I got broken OP3 A3003 (64gb model) and repaired it. It works perfectly but there is just one annoying fault that i cant seem to find answer to. The WiFi will not reconnect to saved hotspots after i toggle it off and back on again. Everytime i must give the password again and again. after i connect it works perfectly an no hiccups at all. just the reconnecting not working. I can see the saved network in the list but deleting it does not work. I havent yet rooted, im on latest stock and the bootloader is locked. Tried factory reset but same problem occurs.
Searching web and Oneplus forums pointed that there is couple others having same problems but no solution from anyone.
Do anyone have had any of this kind of problem and how did you solve it?
I like Oxygen OS itself but rooting is a must! after i can give logs or stuff if needed!
Update to latest oxygen os or open beta, if updating won't fix your problem then perform a factory reset.
Like I said I tried factory reset but did not help unfortunately I updated to open beta 38 last night but did not help either. 'm gonna try open bootloader and flash the firmware again completely and see.
