WiFi issues fold z4

[Kenso62]

The WiFi won't turn on. I am do not want to factory reset my fold

Any solutions?

You could try a soft reset of your network connections. This only affects the network connections but it will lose any saved passwords

Or simple turn your phone Off and On.

I've tried all that and nothing worked. I even had a Samsung Tech on smart tutor and couldn't solve the problem. And all this just started today.

Have you got airplane mode switched on by accident?

WiFi button won't just activate. It is not in flight mode as data is working perfectly fine

I have exact same issue. Wifi won't turn on. Can't run diagnostics on wifi because you have to turn wifi on before you run it

I ended up sending mine in for repairs and the next thing I was being asked to pay for screen damage repairs which I refused as my screen was perfect when I sent the phone in. However, I have since received an email saying that 'they are waiting for spares' to repair the issue. I have now been without my phone for a week!!

This issue has been happening to people for a year. 

Here is the z fold 3 thread: https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/galaxy-z-fold-z-flip/fold-3-wifi-not-turning-on/td-p/6368540/pag...

Here is a more recent thread for z fold 4:

I can't believe they haven't resolved the issue. Was looking forward to z fold 5 but might have to chose a different phone now.

My phone was returned unrepaired because of a 'damaged' screen. This sucks
