Wi-Fi turning OFF automatically when turned ON Whenever I try to turn on my WiFi, it shows Turning Wi-Fi on but automatically turns off. I have not recently installed any app, and earlier it used to work absolutely fine. I even tried doing a factory reset, but it's still not working. Not sure whether it's a software or hardware issue.

I am using Micromax Canvas A116 phone running Android 4.2.1
Go to settings > wireless connections > wifi > more > advanced
Make sure wifi timer is off and that 'Keep wifi on while on standby' is on. Try it again. If this doesn't work go to your phone. And dial *#0011#. This is a hidden setting number so it opens a menu, it ain't calling anybody so don't worry about your money. Press more > wifi > wifi powermode off. 
If that doesn't work either, it's probably a hardware failure. It might be malware as well, and then ressetting your phone doesn't work. The malware will be in your system files so you need to reinstall your software completely. This loses warranty so I advice you to go to a nearby phoneshop and ask them if they want to check your wifi and repair it. They mighr even reinstall your software because if you do it yourself you lose warranty.

Have a nice day,
