I use both the Flip 4 and 5, but I only noticed the issue with my 4. All i did to fix it was turn on airplane mode, rest the phone, and then it went back to normal for me. Hopefully this helps you out a bit.

Have you tried going to Settings >General Management >Reset >Reset wifi and Bluetooth settings? There's a good chance that reseting and then setting up wifi and Bluetooth from scratch will solve your problem.

If you live anywhere near a Samsung service center, you should take your phone there and have them look it over. Maybe you'll be lucky, and they'll be able to figure out what's wrong and fix it for you.

Hello JRKing69, Welcome to the Community. We understand how frustrating it is when you are unable to use Wi-Fi on your phone.

Troubleshooting for Wi-Fi connection include:

1. Reset the settings. Settings>General management>Reset>Reset Wi-Fi and Bluetooth settings

2. Test in Safe Mode. https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-to-start-my-galaxy-device-in-safe-mode

3. Clearing the cache partition.

To get to recovery mode:
- Turn off phone
- Once off, hold down volume up and power buttons simultaneously
- When Samsung logo appears, release power button BUT KEEP HOLDING VOLUME UP until the recovery menu appears
- Use volume buttons to navigate down to clear cache (NOT CLEAR DATA/ FACTORY RESET)
- Use power button to select.
- Run the repair apps option and your device will restart.

4. A factory reset. https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00062029/
