HI, I have a Samsung Vibrant, everything in my phone seems to be working great except for the GPS. when I was on Android 2.1, the GPS seems to be working fine, but after the upgrade to Android 2.2, GPS really had not been working well. what I mean by it is if I did a factory reset, GPS will come back to life and it works for about a week. it's been happening 3 or 4 times already, which means I did a master reset 3 or 4 times. after about a week later, the GPS goes dead. it can not find the satellites. when I start the navigation, it can plot the route with 3G, but as I am driving, there are no movement, because it can not detect any satellites. I can't be master resetting it all the time, it's a pain just to load all my stuff back. I call T-mobile support and all they can tell me is to Master reset it again. since I did not get the phone directly from T-mobile, it is not cover under the exchange policy. . Can someone help me? thanks. I am intended to call samsung to see if they have a repair policy on these because this phone is less than one years old.
OK FIRSTLY if your phone is rooted then there is simply nothing to worry becoz the problem is in ur rom.. it happens due to system file corruption.. installing custom kernels not provided in the rom causes this problems... solution is just use another rom instead of this one..
ON THE OTHER HAND IF ur phone is not rooted and u didnt understand a thing above then probably u r using stock rom.. then the only problem that have occured is that the update package from where u updated your phone is corrupted!!
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM WITH UR PHONE HARDWARE COZ IT CAN RUN GPS, ATLEAST FOR ONCE..!!
so what u do is go back to 2.1 and wait for sometime for the update.. only way to do this is to download original 2.1 firmware from manufacturer's site (its troublesome!!!)
if u r unable to perform this on your own then just send ur phone for servicing to samsung.. u gotta spend money dude!! sorry!!
hope i helped u
GOOD DAY
OH YES ANOTHER THING is some softwares causes this problem..
this time when you factory reset ur phone dont install any software.. see if gps works or not for few days..
GOOD DAY
Hi, been a member for a while, haven't posted before though, (yeah I know, I'm an ass who just downloads and flashes roms), but I have a MAJOR issue now. I tried the MoDaCo.one rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1711783 and decided that it wasn't for me, so I restored my old backup of CleanRom 4.2 Standard. However, upon restoring this image, my phone keeps looking for a LTE connection, even though there is none available, and as such, will not connect to any mobile network. I have tried doing a total reinstall of CleanRom, i have tried resetting everything, i have tried changing the APN settings, everything I can think of. I even called AT&T to see if something was up with the data in my area, and it is all fine, in fact, while I was on the phone, the LTE turned off, (as LTE cannot run while the voice is connected for some reason or another) and I actually got a connection, so it is something with the phone trying to get LTE all the time. Is there some way I can fix thigs?
Also, after trying the MoDaCo rom, my phone only does a hot reboot/fastboot, unless I use the power button hard reset. Any help anyone might be able to give would be greatly appreciated, I can't really afford another $650 phone lol
P.S. If someone, ANYONE, can give any kind of help, I promise I will be coming in and trying to help anyone I can from now on. I'm a Linux Dev (Mint and SolusOS) so I'm not a complete and utter moreoff in terms of how the OS works.

Does Wifi stay on and not search for connection? Meaning does Wifi always stay connected?
Sent from my box of McNuggets.
thanx for the fast reply, wifi work exactly as it should, no issues there, but mobile data is all kinds of messed up. However, just for s#*T's and giggles I decided to try and see if maybe I could get miui v4 2.7.20 to work, and for some reason or another, mobile data works in this one. I'm not exactly sure what's going on, and to be honest, I think I'm gonna try a few roms and see if maybe its only default ice type rooms that work, which would prob mean that something in sense is messed up after the MoDaCo rom trial. If Anyone might have an idea of what's going on, I'm all ears.
Well if all else fails run a ruu and start with a clean slate.

Yeah, I think i may do that, maybe even relock the bootloader, unroot, and start over from a factory default and see if maybe I can get things repaired, or least working right lol.
My wifi was working fine before but yesterday I tried getting on wifi and the position seems to be stuck. It seems like it was to connect but it wont connect, i leave my phone to try and connect for many hours and it doesnt. I go to mysettings to try and turn the wifi position to off and i cant. Ive tried restarting and taking the battery out and nothing helps. I got my wifi to turn off, and after a few hours without trying to get on wifi i tried connecting and its back to what it has been doing, like in a stuck position. I got it to go off by turning the phone off completly for a few hours. Any help is well appreciated. Thank you in advance. I tried attaching a picture to better explain this, but for some reason I cant even attach a file.
What rom are you on?

I've been having weird WiFi issues recently too. I'm stock. I disabled the ATT Smart WiFi but that doesn't seem to fix things. Tried one of the WiFi applications to reconnect when it detects the failure but that works only about 99% of the time.

My wifi doesnt even connect now, it shows that its trying to connect but it wont. The wifi icon doesnt go to full green, it stays on a transparent green, like it wants to connect but wont.
If it was me I'd flash the stock from and get it back to the way it used to be. But if you're on stock now and haven't done any flashing its going to take a lot of learning on your part. You are going to have to learn to use odin and where to get the stock rom. Not sure if you're up for that.

If you both are on stock call ATT. They will be more then happy to help you. With your level of knowledge that is your best course of action. They will most likely tell you to factory reset your phone. You will loose all your apps and settings. Tell them you want to back that up first. They should be able to help you from there.

Guess this is what i will have to do, i just dont no if something is wrong with my phone. Thank you for your help
Hey guys,
I've been using this phone (skyrocket ROGERS version) and have had this problem ever since I "upgraded" to ICS; and I've had so many problems with this phone! I've just learned to accept that my WiFi will never work consistently enough for me to use it so I just always use my data plan (luckily I've got a lot of data).
THINGS I HAVE TRIED
Cm 10 stable
Cm 10 nightly
Cm 9 stable
Miui
Flashing stock ICS
Flashing stock Jb
Things I haven't tried
Flashing stock gingerbread (because this was the only time my WiFi worked consistently, but why go back to gingerbread)
If anybody has ANY insight on this it would be very helpful
I guess I should also mention that I've flashed everyone of these ROMs that I listed at least 3-5 times just to ensure it wasn't just a bad flash.
Hello,
I´m from Chile, and I´m really struggling with a serious problem. I got the XT1225, rooted and with SU, and I was with the stock firmware, but, with no reason, the screen stopped working. I was able to load and power the cell, but then, sometimes when the screen was locked, it won´t turn on. If I press the volumes buttons, it make a sound, but the screen doesn´t work. After a reboot, it works fine for a few minutes, but then, the same problem.
I thought that I messed some files, so I did a full wipe/factory reset, wipe system, and then installed the last Resurrection Remix ROM, but the problem persist. I can´t use it, I heard the sound from email or messages, but the screen just won´t turn on.
Please help!
Because this happened to me in differents roms, I don´t think this could be a software issue.
PS: Sorry for my English, I´m an spanish speaker.
Any help?
Based on what you've said, I'd agree that it doesn't seem like software, as long as you aren't flashing something similar with each ROM, like your favorite custom kernel or a specific mod. If you are consistently flashing something like that, stop and just flash the ROM. I doubt different gapps would do anything, since you had this issue on the stock build. You can try to revert back to complete stock, but I don't know if that will help. Still, its probably worth doing. Most likely, you have bad hardware, and that phone has to go out for repair (Unless you wanna try it yourself).

Ok, thanks for the reply. Thats what I thought, a problem in the hardware. Now I need to look up for a good tech service, because here in my city, it´s difficult to find one.
I am having the same problem the with mine at the moment. Did you ever get yours fixed or find out what happened to it? I'm using a droid turbo from the US. But same exact problem i can flash another rom and it will work but i cannot let the screen go to sleep or else it happens
Hi, for some reason my wife's U11 just decided to stop working - but only the sim and wifi. The no sim message shows and wifi won't turn on. I've reset network settings and have gone as far as a complete factory reset to no avail. It seems to me to be a hardware issue, so I'd like to know if there is anything else I might be able to try? I'm out of ideas, and if it truly is a hardware fault, then that kinda sucks, but oh well. It was a nice phone while it lasted...
I should add that bluetooth still works.

This is starting to get interesting. If you have any updates, please let us know.
I've managed to downgrade it now to Android 8.0. Same issue.
I don't want to believe that this is a hardware fault. But it really seems to be...
Maybe its the antenna? I don't know. MAybe I'm going to root it and flash a custom rom and Wifi repair app.
But It really think there's an hardware defect for now..

That's super interesting to me. Do you know when it happened to you? It really feels quite coincidental to have this happen to a few people.
It happened just 2-3 month ago. First I wasn't able to turn the phone on cause of the WLAN issue. Cause my phone space was locked I wasn't able to authorize myself cause of the disabled connection. After a few tries I put my Sim card inside the phone, and it connected and I could authorize and disable this memory lock. But afterwards it never worked again with my sim card. It seems like it wouldn't even recognize my Sim Card. No Pin question or symbol at the upper front of the display. Nothing. It's really werid and annoying, that something like this happens. I can't believe that it's hardware related.. How would it be possilbe that it's hardawrare related and whe have suddenly the same problems nearly the same time...
I should note that my wife has had her screen replaced before (she dropped the phone and it basically cracked all over). Have you replaced yours?
Yes I replaced mine too. But nevermind I had that issues before. My phone ran all well with cracked screen and one day I had that issues... So I changed my screen in the hope it would fix it.

I'm wondering if it will be a more widespread problem. I'm going to try and get in touch with HTC and see what they have to say. Will update if I hear back from them.
Okay, that would be great. But I don't have high expectations that they'll answer. Due to the fact that they have stopped there smartphone section for now and no more official updates and stuff like that.
But let's hope die at least...
I have exactly the same issue. It happened yesterday. It was just there, sitting on my desk, one minute it was working and I was checking my e-mail, the next one it was not. The phone now detects no SIM card and if I try to enable wi-fi it just hangs in "enabling" status for some time until it gives up and disables it again. I am not 100% sure, but I think I also had a short time in which wifi was no longer working and the SIM connection still was, I remember seeing the 4G logo and maybe I even browsed the internet for a short while. By the way, I have not replaced my screen. Now I know that I can probably spare myself the hassle of doing a hard reset.
It is really suspicious that this weird problem is happening to several people within a short time frame. It would be cool to hear if HTC has anything to say, but I am also not expecting anything from them now, especially for a phone which is out of warranty.
In case it can help, as the author reported, bluetooth still works and it is possible to connect the phone to the internet using bluetooth tethering on another phone (the good old M8 helped here ). This doesn't solve the issue, but is much better than nothing, most apps will work and it is easier to make a controlled migration to another phone.
Any news here?
Same issue here!!! Help!!!

Same issue here!!! Help!!!
I have the same issue with a U11+ bought in Germany (I know, other model but hey). I have tried using the other sim slot and using another (definitely working) sim. WiFi doesn't work either. My phone has no visible damage (not even scratches) and no parts were replaced. I can't remember it ever getting wet either. For me it stopped working on 2. of September.
Sorry guys. HTC were really slack at getting back to me, and unfortunately they want me to send the phone in to get it inspected. I know it's out of warranty and since my wife is well and truly into her Huawei P30, this phone is unfortunately going to just have to remain this way. Sorry for not having any better info.
The same issue I am facing now. No SIM CARD Detected and WiFi isn't connecting.
What things I have tried doing so far?
1.) Factory Reset - 3 times.
2.) TWRP Based RUU Restores ( 2 possible versions tried )
3.) Tried Restoring zip based restore
4.) Did a Full Internal + External SD Card Wipe and then flashed RUU.
5.) Restored stock ROM.
Nothing is working at all.
Now, Trying to do S-OFF but as the phone itself is not booting into a normal OS, I cannot install Sunshine app and proceed. Help needed, at least in getting the OS to work.
Thank You.

It seems there's no way without replacing hardware to fix it. But if we don't know what causes this error we cannot proceed.
I tried the same things as you did. Also unlocked bootloader. My device is starting but I cannot proceed to the main menue cause of no internet connection. I'd love to try a custom rom. That's the only thing missing.
Also if the phone is rooted there are WIFI Error fixing apps and check.
I have bought myself a OnePlus 7T pro MClaren edition and I'm really happy with it. But also I don't want to accept that the htc just died from nothing.
Same issue here, happend a few months ago and after a week the phone started working. Now again no SIM detected and wifi won't connect.
