SOLVED! LG G3 Won’t Connect To Wi-Fi

Every now and then, LG G3 could run into bugs that mess up various features and Wi-Fi is not an exception. Hence, if your LG G3 won’t connect to Wi-Fi, you should first assume bugs to be responsible and restart the device. Other solutions include enabling and disabling Airplane mode, booting into Safe Mode, wiping cache, performing a factory reset, sending in the device for repair, etc. 

The Usual Suspects

In most of the cases, LG G3 should have an easy time establishing and maintaining wireless connections. Still, if your LG G3 won’t connect to Wi-Fi, it’s suggested that you take these possibilities into account:

• Bugs.
• Interference from third-party software. 
• Corruption.

A List Of Solutions

Restart 

• Step 1: Press and hold the Power button.
• Step 2: Hit Power off and restart then confirm your decision. 
• Step 3: Determine whether the issue persists. 

Enable And Disable Airplane Mode

• Step 1: Press and hold the Power button.
• Step 2: Hit Turn on Airplane mode then confirm your decision. 
• Step 3: Wait for a moment, press and hold the Power button then hit Turn off Airplane mode.

Boot Into Safe Mode 

• Step 1: Press and hold the Power button.
• Step 2: Press and hold Power off until Reboot into Safe mode comes into view. Proceed to hit OK to confirm your decision. 
• Step 3: When the screen comes back on, you should see Safe Mode on the bottom left of the screen. At that point, connect your phone to a Wi-Fi network and witness the result. If the device manages to connect to the network, feel free to conclude that a third-party application is the root of the problem. For good measure, you should get rid of apps you don’t need, especially reinstalled ones. 

Wipe Cache 

• Step 1: Press and hold the Power button.
• Step 2: Hit Power off, confirm your decision and allow the device to shut down all the way. 
• Step 3: Press and hold Power and Volume Down buttons at the same time. As soon as you see the LG icon, let go of the buttons for an instance then press and hold them again. 
• Step 4: In System recovery, use Volume Up/Down buttons to navigate to Wipe cache and press the Power button once. Confirm your decision if prompted. 
• Step 5: See how things turn out. 

Perform A Factory Reset

• Step 1: Press and hold the Power button.
• Step 2: Hit Power off, confirm your decision and allow the device to shut down all the way. 
• Step 3: Press and hold Power and Volume Down buttons at the same time. As soon as you see the LG icon, let go of the buttons for an instance then press and hold them again. 
• Step 4: In System recovery, use Volume Up/Down buttons to navigate to Factory data reset and press the Power button once. Confirm your decision if prompted. 
• Step 5: After the process finishes, test out the Wi-Fi functionality on your phone. 

Send In The Device For Repair

None of the above works? Then there is a good chance that internal components of your phone have sustained damages and you must send it in for repair. If your phone is still under warranty, the cost of repair would be covered by the warranty. However, if the warranty is no longer valid and the repair expense is too high, get a new phone. 

What Should I Do If I’m Unable To Recall My SIM Card PIN?

In the beginning, avoid guessing the PIN as entering the wrong PIN multiple times could result in your SIM getting locked. Instead, look for the PUK code on the plastic SIM card cover and use it to create a new PIN. In times of need, you could request a new code from your telephone company as well. 

Is LG G3 Waterproof?

For your information, LG G3 does not come with a water resistance certification. That means you should do your best to keep your phone away from liquids if you want to keep it in working order.

Optimizing The Operation Of LG G3: Suggestions 

• Uninstall non-essential applications to save space as well as resources.
• Move items (photos, clips, …) you don’t need from internal storage to SD card, cloud, …
• Check for updates from time to time. 
• Pick up a cleaner app to remove junk from the device. 
• Reset the device at least once a month.
