When I turn my wifi on, it does nothing. My hotspot doesn't work either. Problem started last week after I switched into airplane mode.
What I've tried:
-reboot phone
-cycle wifi and airplane mode
-clear cache and data for Android and Google processes
-reflash zv8 modem
-factory data reset
-wifi fixer android app
Nothing has worked so far. The only hardware change that i made was to replace the audio [headphone] jack and replace the battery with another brand new OEM battery.
LGG3 LS990
Sprint
Stock ZV8
Nova prime launcher
Stock kernel
Bumped and stumped
TWRP recovery
Any help would be appreciated.
I was able to resolve this issue. Apparently, there is an issue with the wifi and airplane mode on the lgg3 with lollipop 5.0. I found some other folks having the same issues on a t-mobile msg board.
What I did to resolve:
Turn wifi and wifi calling on.
Turn airplane mode on.
Long press wifi to view access points and wait for them to appear.
Disable airplane mode and select access point.
Problem solved.
In my case, it was absolutely a software issue. I will update if this issue returns.
Issue came back after an incoming call. Unable to get wifi back on using method stated previously. Still trying to mess with the phone.
Dangit.

I'm getting a second hand Streak 5". I don't have AT&T, but I recall hearing that dell had also made a Wifi only model. My question is: can I load a Wifi only rom (are there even any?) on it and disable the phone/3G?
There are no wifi only streak 5's only streak 7's have a wifi inly model
try dialing *#4636#*#* (*#*#INFO#*#*) then press call.
try phone information, I beleive there is a button to turn radio off, which should completly disable 3G radio.
Not sure if this will stick after reboot, but I think it should.
settings also gives you the option to turn off data, etc. and if there's no SIM card in it, I dont imagine it will use any radio.
I use APNDroid which seems to disable radio pertty successfully, only allowing wifi connections.
I use my Streak 5 in wifi only mode.
I started off just not having a SIM in it, but I found that cell standby was still eating loads of battery - as much as the phone idle was, due to the fact that they are still able to make emergency calls even without a sim.
The really simple solution is that I installed Widgetsoid and added a widget with toggles for Airplane mode and for Wifi on it. I assume any widget app that allows these toggles would work. I then turn Airplane mode on, which kills the cellular radio, both 2g and 3g, and turn on wifi when I need it - which overrides the airplane disable.
I've even found that JuiceDefender can auto-toggle wifi while in airplane mode based on running apps, though only after rebooting while in airplane mode - before the reboot, it quite sensibly saw airplane mode and left the radios all off.
Thanks for the tips.
Got it up and running nice, again thanks for the tips.
And just to clarify, even if I throw a custom rom (probably StreakDroid) I can't pull phone/3g functionality? Could I pull some apks from the StreakDroid zip to get make it wifi only, or would I need a custom kernel?
Just upgraded to HC after receiving my View yesterday. I'm not much of a hacker, so I went the stock OTA route. I don't plan to activate this tablet on Sprint, so I'm running in airplane mode. HC won't seem to allow me to turn on Bluetooth in this mode. Works fine if I exit from Airplane mode. Any suggestions to enable this configuration (airplane + Bluetooth)? Or should I just turn off the data radios and not run in Airplane mode? Will this have an adverse impact on battery life if I do this?
Now that Globatron has posted a way back if I don't like it, I went ahead and took the OTA HC update on the View.
I was unable to get bluetooth to turn on when in airplane mode initially. I did a factory reset and now it works. You will have to reinstall your apps and reconfigure your accounts if you decide to do this. It's probably better to do a fresh install of the apps anyway on a new OS.
I posted a question about this last week thinking it was a wifi problem, but it turns out it happens when I'm on data too, so it's an overall data problem... I'm just using wifi most of the time so that was the only place I had noticed it.
Occasionally my phone will stop being able to send/receive data. I'll turn it on and try to load a web page, for example, and it will just hang. Turning wifi on/off doesn't fix it, and turning data on/off doesn't seem to fix it either. The only solution I've found is going into airplane mode for a second. The frequency varies.. it seems to happen between 1-5 times a day, so it's pretty inconvenient.
I've read around a bit and it sounds like it's caused by the phone trying to get a 4G connection but it isn't able to or something, so it just hangs there and never lets the 3g/wifi connections get used (due to priority of connections or something). I almost always have wifi and don't care that much about data speeds, so if disabling 4g altogether would fix the problem I'm game (although I'd prefer another solution...). I tried the *#*#4636#*#* code to change it to GSM only (I read somewhere that that'll disable 4g), but it instantly reverts back to what it originally was, so that doesn't seem like it'll work. Is there another way to disable 4g?
I've got the stock ROM running Entropy's latest DD kernel.
I've had this same exact issue while running Miui and the Siyah kernel. What I've narrowed it down to is likely to be some sort of power save mode that kicks in when the phone goes into deep sleep mode. I haven't had the issue since I've ran the Kernel cleaning scripts and reflashed the latest Siyah kernel, but it reappears occasionally. On certain releases of Siyah, I've ran SetCPU at a minimum of 200Mhz to keep the phone from going into deep sleep just so it wouldn't turn off the cell radio.
Also, as a side note, I've had this happen when my phone loses signal. After so much searching, it will turn off the entire cell radio and display "Emergency Calls Only" until Airplane mode is toggled.
I had this same problem even back with my Captivate. Hoping ICS won't have the same issue. I'm running CM7 and Siyah kernel.
I am having the same problem Data wont work until i turn airplane mode on and off

Have you found a resolution?
Hello guys,
my problem relates to activating WiFi and/or mobile data on my phone.
First of all WiFi:
I'm used to enable it via status bar. But when clicked nothing happens but the symbol changing. When entering the WiFi settings through systemsettings WiFi is disabled. Enabling it there works fine, but is not what I would expect.
Before it worked fine.
Next problem.
When WiFi is enabled (it's most of the time when I'm at home) I disable mobile data (no matter if 2g or 3g). It runs over night till i leave home. Now when I want to enable mobile data, nothing happens. Even an analog work around described like above wouldn't work. The only way to get it working is to reboot the phone..
Any idea how to solve it?
My specs:
Samsung Galaxy S2 (int)
Kernel: Kernel_Siyah-Dorimanx-V9.10-[10-51]-[21-03]-JB-CM-AOKP-SGII-PWR-CORE
ROM: cm-10.1-20130321-NIGHTLY-i9100
Modem: I9100XXLS8
My fiancée and I got the same problem with the mobile data. I updated her phone with the latest nightly to be sure it's nothing that may have already been solved, so she got cm-10.1-20130320 nightly, I have yet to update from cm10, still running cm-10-20121209 nightly.
After turning on wifi or turning off mobile data (mobile data connection has to be interrupted) and leaving it off for a longer period of time, turning mobile data on again does not work. The button changes, the phone also reflects this in the data usage menu, the button is set to on, but nothing happens. Rebooting the phone then solves the problem, Mobile data can be turned on and off again for some time but leaving it turned off again will result in the same error. I hope this is somehow comprehensible.
Any idea what we can do about it?
I don't use CM anymore, but when I used to run CM9 that happened to me occasionally. Restoring a backup or reflashing the rom & kernel directly over the top of the current instal without wiping (if you're using another kernel) was the only thing that fixed it for me. You may find that reflashing the rom/kernel doesn't work; if it doesn't, I'd do a clean install (wipe/etc; tho I never had to do this to fix this problem).
Anyone know why I would have to toggle airplane mode to get wifi to come on? I'm rooted on Slim rom but it has occurred on every rom I've been on. Seems like it wasn't happening when I first got my phone but lately wifi just does not automatically come on by itself.
Also, when I'm at work (at a hospital) now I can't even connect to the wifi where I could before...
