I am unable to connect to new wi-fi networks on my BQ Aquaris E5 Ubuntu Edition.

Nothing happens after entering the network password. Previously used networks worked fine.

Resetting the phone did not help. It seems to have solved the same problem for someone else though.

I have used ubuntu-device-flash to flash the latest stable ubuntu touch image as well as build r42 from ubuntu-touch/rc/bq-aquaris.en:

ubuntu-device-flash touch --channel ubuntu-touch/rc/bq-aquaris.en --bootstrap --recovery-image recovery-vegetahd.img --wipe

Even that did not help.

Since the problem occurs after entering the password I suspect that there might be a problem with storing the password. Are the Wi-Fi settings stored somewhere where they are not affected by re-flashing the OS even with --wipe?

This issue started appearing after the OTA-11 update & is supposed to be fixed with the upcoming OTA-13 update. Meanwhile you may use OTA-10 image as a workaround.

I found a work around that seems to work on OTA-12 at least on my Nexus 4 which is documented at
How can I get a Nexus 4 running 15.04 OTA-12 to connect to a particular wi-fi network when it won't accept the password
The main bullet point is to enter the password in a note or text application then copy and paste it into the network manager connection dialog.

Try 'forgetting' the last network where the device was connected, tick the box in the settings to get the connection dialog up with the desired network and then 'connect'. That is how I recovered after having experienced what you have, reported the problem to bq.com and getting NO answer.
