Hey guys
Been having an issue for as long as I can remember. I'm on cm9 nightlies...usually latest and whenever I'm at a friends house I can't seem to scan for wifi networks. My wifi works at home but its a hidden network I manually put in. As far as scanning for networks to join nothing comes up though. My list of networks will show previously joined networks and if I try to "forget" any of those nothing happens either.
Any ideas? I usually wipe cache and dalvik cache between flashing and prior to cm9 I was on stock...came with a clean wipe install too.
Edit: it seems like i can only scan and find networks while I'm connected to a network. I've just tried testing various times at home...while I'm connected to my network all of my neighbors wifi points show up. But if I disconnect from my network (leaving wifi on) nothing shows up. Anyone else experiencing this?
edit2: through my ocd I found this app that is a "wifi fixer" for older samsung phones....apparently it just clears out your wireless profiles....that seems to have done the trick and now i can scan for wifi normal again.
for future reference does anyone know where the wifi profiles file is located on galaxy nexus?
also you can close or put this as solved mods...thanks

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

Hey guys,
My galaxy note 2 got a problem of wifi. Doesn't like other wifi problems (cannot turn on the wifi), my note 2 can turn on the wifi but it cannot connect to the normal wifi (from router or modem) except the wifi hotspot (which can connect normally). When I tap "Connect", the phone showed "connecting" and then back to "saved", the wifi signal bar also dropped to zero for a while then back to full signal. I've tried many solutions but those are not working.
If anyone know the solution, please help me. thank you,
Is the phone running the latest stock ROM?
Hey All, I just got Motorola Moto M XT1663 indian version and I need help with 3 problems:
1. I'm getting ads on my phone screen despite deleting almost all the apps on the phone. I was unable to find any app that is displaying ads as soon as the phone gets connected to the internet.
2. My Wi-Fi connection disconnects automatically with no apparent reason. I have tried turning off Wi-Fi scanning as seen in another video but no luck. Wi-Fi connection just disappears and will not connect back unless done manually.
3. I'm not getting "system updates" option under settings->about phone.
Additionally, I have performed a hard reset on the phone but it also didn't help.
Any help will be really appreciated.
Hi. Not sure if anyone here can help, but I've been having serious wifi issues with my Sprint version Galaxy Tab 3 for almost a week now. The wifi signal shows that it's strong, but the network is "Turned off." I can connect back to the wifi network manually, but it just turns itself off again after another minute or two.
I deleted all the apps on it in recovery mode, and it did stay connected once everything was gone, but when going back into regular mode, the problem returned. So I factory reset the device, but the wifi "Turned off" nonsense continues.
This is not a rooted device. I've noticed that Sprint network crap comes up, but there's no way to access them outside of their popping up. One Sprint Connection app pops up but goes away almost immediately, and when I try to select it in the "open apps" list, it disappears. It also has been asking me to configure a hotspot. I select my home network and it connects for a little while, but again, just a minute or two.
Any ideas how to solve this problem? Thanks.
