My inspire has wifi problems - HTC Inspire 4G

Ok I have had my inspire for about a week now and yes it's rooted. I have been having problems with my wifi saying unable to scan for networks. Go into advanced settings and mac address is unavailable. And when wifi doesn't work I am also not able to use tethering. Sometimes everything works fine and sometimes it doesn't work for hours. Suggestions would be appreciated

Have you flashed anythingI, or are still on stock kernel.. or have you ever flashed a kernel?

I have flashed 4 different roms and get the same issue every time. I am new to the android world so I have not flashed any kernels by themselves.

That is the rom I am running. Also forgot to mention bluetooth doesn't work.

AR 5.1.9 Wifi Problem

When I'm on wifi my phone won't load any websites, the xda website won't load, neither will Google or any others. I knew there was a wifi problem with 5.1.8 so I waited for 5.1.9. Anyway can anyone tell Mike1986 about this problem because I don't have enough posts to ask him myself or better yet, could anyone give me a fix.

Sometime mine won't load on WiFi but corrects itself with a restart.

I went from 5.1.7 straight to 5.1.9 and i haven't had any problems yet. Have you tried deleting you connection and try re establishing your connect to your network

I am not sure what this problem is, but I've been running 5.1.8 since the day it was out, and even as I am typing this, and well, no wifi problems so far whatsoever.
There you go, it is supposed to be the wifi fix for AR 5.1.8
Wifi fix from AR 5.1.9
It looks like the only difference is the addition of this line in the file " system/etc/calibration "

I will have to say though, that I still have wifi issues despite implementing every fix I have found in these forums and trying multiple radios.
If I leave the phone on overnight, I always have to turn the wifi off and back on to get a connection, otherwise it seems to be connected but is not.
I also have terrible wifi reception. Sitting at the same spot in a cafe with my laptop and my phone shows a world of difference. I can pick up 6 AP's from my laptop but only see one on the phone.
Am running Cingular's OTA radio 26.06.06.30_M with HTC-RIL 2.2.0131HM
Thanks for the help everyone, the restart method solved it. Also is anyone having camera problems. When I record a video and play back it skips and its really starting to get annoying.

Wi-Fi issues still present after the Gingerbread update:-(

Wi-Fi issues remain after the Gingerbread update...:-(
When I connect to a wireless network and try to stream or upload something my phone starts to lag. Now I cannot connect to a Wi-Fi network and have to reboot my phone. This is the exact behavior before the update...nothing has been fixed in this release ... I sure hope LG fixes the issues before T-Mobile pushes the OTA.

Personally never had this problem. I would revert back to stock and try and get a replacement phone.
This is my third replacement and all of them had this issue. It would work fine for a while and then it would start acting up...
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
really 3 replacements with that same problem? idk maybe its ur wifi at your house?
It is not my wi-fi, the phone does it on other networks and I've used my wi-fi with other devices-no issues...

I had wifi problems.....until I switched to cynogenmod.
I was about to get a sensation, but cannot consider giving up the benifits of cynogenmod. The additional features it adds, although small, all add up to a much better user experience, not to mention that it fixes the phone.

Which security type are you using on your WIFI? Maybe it's an issue with that specific protocol. Try changing the protocol back and forth for test purposes. It's possible it's one of the newer types of security and they really just aren't aware of a problem yet.
Also double check the firmware for your device. I understand that you say you've had it on other wifi and other devices work fine on your wifi, but I've had XBox's and computers that had problems with the firmware I was running but other devices worked fine.
I had the same stuttering problems as you using wifi with stock Froyo. The phone was close to unusable when streaming or downloading anything. Most of the time if wouldn't even switch from 4G to wif which was more annoyingi. With the gingerbread update wifi has dramatically improved and the switching is well under 10secs. Cm7 or anything based on it never worked for my wifi network sadly.
I have this very same problem. Turning on wifi I would still see the 4G icon and data activity. This has got to be so annoying after upgrading to gingerbread. Also now I have a new issue with the browser. This is issue is when the screen locks then unlocks the browser would automatically go back to the previous page. I mean why so many issues with this phone?

Wifi Calling issues

So today I noticed that when I was going to connect to wifi calling it never initiated. I clicked on the app and it said currently not registered with the t-mo network so I cannot connect to it.
This is a new problem as I was connected to it last night. I installed Virtuous, but the same thing was happening before I flashed that. Anyone else have it happen to them or know how to fix it? Thanks
So are u still on virtuous unity?

Yeah, but I don't see that being the problem since it was working before flashing Virtuous.
Lmao. You flashed a TOTALLY different rom with a TOTALLY different WiFi calling setup. Just becuz it was working on one rom doesn't mean its gonna automatically work. You need to let virtuous team know about the glitch. Or flash a different rom.

naw it was not working before virtuous so I'm not gonna say it is Virtuous' fault. It may work itself out don't know.
make sure your E911 address is in my.t-mobile
Did it work itself out?

T-Mobile Data Connection Problems?

I recently upgraded my phone to the new ICS software, I flashed the Virtuous Inquisition 2.1.0 and then 3.0.0 they both worked fantastically but when I turned my phone on after being on standby it would have a data connection but it wouldn't communicate with anything.
So getting fed up with that I flashed the update given by InsertCoin ICS and then flashed the ROM.
It is now doing the same thing again?
It's very finicky as to when it works and when it won't. But when it works it works well?
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

same problem, it works, but not well, it used to go from 4g or H to 2g, now it goes to 3g and hangs. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Same here. Data seems really buggy on all the ics builds I have used for my tmo sensation. Not sure if it is firmware or Rom problems.

+1 I think I've had this problem with every android phone I ever had. I wish there was an option to just leave the data on at all times like home internet. I hate that it has to search for signal and connect every time I click something because it always hangs. Yea 4G is fast but if it has to dial up the internet every time I use it whats the point? The only fix I know for hanging internet is to toggle airplane mode. Which is some BS in IMHO.
Is there a way to disable 3g so it only bounces 4g to 2g?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
I flashed the virtuous firmware update and formatted all partitions except for the SD card, and its been working for the last week very consistantly.
To my knowledge there is no way to turn on and off searching for 3g and only switch between 4g and 2g. Because I believe Tmobile's. 4g is just faster 3g? Idk.

[Q] how to get wifi hotspot after rooting

I recently rooted my HTC inspire with Hack Ace and everything went fine. I want to implement wifi hotspot with out the message from att to pop up. What's the next step?
Get a tethering app. Some roms have the feature baked in.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
try foxfi, its good
I tried that one an also WiFi tether, pdanet, but eather say that is blocked by HTC or get the at&t message. I haven't flashed a new Rom yet or changed anything, just rooted. My main purpose in rooting is that, tethering.

Anything?

Now this isn't a "hotspot" app per say.
But it gives you the ability to use your phone as a wifi tether.
Try, easytether.
