[Q] Wifi "stuck" requiring reboot

AlbertDude · Dec 31, 2013

Hi,

I've noticed that my XT1032 sometimes has its wifi "frozen".
What happens is that I'll be out and about and perhaps connect to wifi hotspot at a coffee shop.

When I get home, my wifi is "stuck" and still thinks it's seeing the wifi networks from when I was out. If i run a wifi analyzer app, it reports still seeing the wifi hotspots from when I was out.

Turning off wifi and turning it back on doesn't help.
I need to reboot the phone for the wifi to work properly and see and connect to my home network.

Anybody else getting this behaviour? Anybody have any suggestions on a fix?

no need to reboot, airplane mode for a couple of seconds fixes the issue.

Same here!!

I also have the same problem. In addition, what I noticed is - I turn off the WiFi in Settings page and when I go into Settings->WiFi, it shows that the WiFi is turned ON. Now if I turn it OFF here, again when I come out, in Settings page it shows that the WiFi is turned ON. This goes on and on until I reboot.

It's probably a software issue
If you are rooted,then install a good and stable custom rom and you are good to then

I think that's the same behaviour as on my phone and probably why turning WIFI off and then on again didn't fix the issue -- it probably didn't really turn the WIFI off whereas I'm guessing that putting it into/out of Airplane mode actually does disable and reenable the WIFI.

I can live with the Airplane mode trick -- much better than needing to reboot!

I have the same issue, but with another irritating problem:
It ereases all my previous saved wifi network.

I cant stand this. rebooting the phone always makes me loose all my previous saved wifi network. Did this happened to you guys, too ? I will try airplane mode and see if it stops erasing.
Hope kit kat solves this Sh*t

6 days since I moved into KitKat and no issues with WiFi so far. Hope it stays the same way

Me too!

Same issue for me. Doesn't happen often - but sometimes it does the same thing with my cell network connection. Also fixed with a quick airplane mode and back.

No one know a fix or at least the reason?
