[Q] Radio won't turn on - HTC Sensation

Apologies if this has already been fixed but all my searches have been in vain.
I've had my Sensation 2 days and am still on the stock ROM, everything has been working ok until today but now the radio keeps switching off. I've been able to get it come back on once by enabling Airplane mode and rebooting a couple of times, then disabling it again.
WiFi etc still works but I can't get the Mobile Network to switch on again.
All ideas and suggestions appreciated.

Try putting it on a different setting (auto gsm or something similar)
Go to phone and press *#*#4636#*#* and than go to phone information. Scroll down and try to select a different option. Also try messing with different options you see there like turning ciphering on and off (remember to put it on after you are done messing around).
Hope you can fix it. Otherwise call HTC or t-mobile.

Mine just started doing the same thing. Toggling ciper doesnt help. And the back of the phone is really hot also.

Try taking out the battery. And check again. Also call htc or tmobile.

I wipe the phone and reloaded a new ROM and now it is fine.
Was using Android Revolution HD™ 3.0.3 ROM. Went back to a stock ROM for now.

Random WiFi Drops

Hey guys.
I've recently bought my HTC Sensation (a good month ago now) and so far, its a brilliant phone.
However, there is one issue thats bugging me. The WiFi on my Sensation seems to keep dropping when the screen is turned off. The only workaround is to keep the device awake.
I've set the WiFi Sleep Mode to Never, still doesn't change it.
I don't think any of my programs are doing it. I used to have connection checker installed but I've since deleted it.
I'm sure this might be the fact that the phones from Asia, and would be running Asian Radio versions of the Radio drivers? I'm probably wrong but I would love someone to tell me what the hells going on!
Thanks in advance!
Having similar problems but with my HTC Dream. It's usually after it's on sleep mode for a while. Temporary fix: Uncheck wifi then turn it back on again... I'm too trying to look for a permanent fix. It's starting to get very irritating.
When your screen is off for a while, do you still receive emails/updates etc?

If you're talking to me... then no i don't receive emails.. Although it seems that the problem stopped after I switched the ROM from cyanogen to SuperE!
To the one with the sensation...is the phone on its back with the screen off? I put my phone down quick to do something and watched my wifi go away completely...its blocking the signal on its back.try putting it face down and see if that helps

Also make sure that best WiFi performance is checked, and set the sleep policy to never in settings/wireless/advanced. It will eat more battery, but it should help a little if this isn't already done.

[Q] Screen not turning off

Anyone else having a problem when trying to turn their screen off? My screen turns off and then immediately turns back on and brings me to the lock-screen. I have to press the power button 3-4 times in order for me to turn the screen off and keep it off. I use a case, but even with the case removed this still happens. VERY annoying, any help would greatly be appreciated!
EDIT: This happens to me on every rom I flash, I've used ARHD, InsertCoin, Pyramid3D, Sense-O-Maniac, and am currently running Hypernonsense. Same problem persists throughout, so I'm guessing the rom is not the problem
That is a very known issue, if you are on stock rom and recovery, you would be able to download an update from HTC, (if you live in Europe or USA) that would "delete" the error.
I'm having the same issue as well. Although it's a small little error, it can get annoying/irritating. My phone is fully updated from HTC and I'm having this problem.

I take it back. There is an update, lol. It's checked under automatic updates and it never told me. The other times it has, though

Are you using a stock, or custom ROM?
same here
Yes, I have the same problem, occurred exactly right after the Android version upgrade of my Sensation.
I'm in touch with HTC support, but of course like all support channels, it's very hard for the guys to understand what the symptoms are. I keep telling them that I can't see any networks to try to connect and the guys keep telling me to disable mac filtering on my access point...
Anyway, I'm on it. If I can reach a solution, I'll let you know.
update
OK, here we go...
I have removed the SIM card.
I left the microSD inside.
I did a factory reset.
WiFi works perfect... After one hour it is still OK.
I shut down and insert the SIM card.
The auto-config for APN starts and triggers the 3G connection.
3G is fine.
But WiFi is dead.
Again, it detects the APs nearby but then it shuts down in one second...
Then can't detect any APs, of course...
I shut it down and remove the SIM card.
No luck, WiFi is still dead.
I have updated the guys in HTC support...
Let's see what they'll come back with.
Here in Andorra, we´ve the same problem After Update.The same problem. Its something about the Country Of the SIM. Here, if you put an Spanish or French SIM, WIFI OK. BUT if you use an Andorran´s SIM: WIFI DEAD...
I have the exact problem.......
I expect it solve in a week or two by HTC otherwise.... No more HTC after the XE
I have the same problem. The problem appeared after upgrading from GB to ICS. When I returned to the RUU - the problem still occurred. In general, helps clear the Dalvik cache - but after a while the problem comes back.

Sorry was travelling and did not see the posts. It was such a major problem not
having wifi while travelling. Lots of the airports had free wifi and i had to keep
pulling out my PC to tether
I am on stock ROM.
Any solutions yet??
Same problem here. Wifi stays stuck on "turning on" and will never turn on. Sometimes it says error. Also, bluetooth exhibits the same symptoms, except it gives up after a while and just goes back to off.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Yeah I have the same problem.

I've tried many different roms, wifi works sometimes. Then it will turn on and off continuously, getting my hopes up then leaving me frustrated. I can't believe I'm considering getting another phone because of this stupid wifi issue.
Do you also have problems with getting notifications when wifi is on? For example whatsapp or gmail?

It's like it will work for a few days perfectly, then this intermittent behavior happens. My EDGE connection kicks in and I get notifications alright but my plan only has 150MB per month. (please don't laugh as I live in China, and don't laugh that my 4G phone is running EDGE). So I need WiFi to work all the time.
same problem i try manny roms but cant get the wifi to work did u guys find any solution?
I found a solution and you're not going to like it, I sold my Sensation and bought a Samsung Galaxy S3. Sorry HTC, byebye to you.

Broken WiFi??

This is really weird and I havent had this happen before. I have had this thunderbolt since January (had to send my first one back for repair and got a replacement). My phone is rooted and I have been on various ROM's throughout the months. Recently my WiFi stopped working. When I go to check off the wifi toggle, the icon fades like it is turning wifi on, but nothing happens. When I go into the wifi settings page, it takes a long pause before opening. and you can actually see wifi turn on, then turn off. turn on, then turn off. And I get a pop-up that says unable to scan for networks. Now I have tried this with several roms such as Bamf Soab, Plan 9, MIUI, and a few others with the same result for all. Couldnt be a ROM issue since I used Bamf SOAB with wifi with no problems. Didnt know if there was a folder or something I could delete which would refresh the wifi settings per say. Any ideas? Thanks!
Try installing stock recovery, relocking bootloader, and using An RUU to go to stock Rom. If wifi works there, then unlock bootloader again and reflash toms etc., if WiFi doesn't work when your phone is stock,then its most probably a hardware fault

It could very well be a hardware problem. My last Thunderbolt had to be replaced because I was having similar WiFi issues.

Desire S keeps rebooting, wifi won't connect

Hi,
This is my first post.
My partner had a Desire S and it's got an odd problem.
First things first, it's stock and not rooted.
It's been working fine and then wifi started to give errors.
When switched on it said 'turning on' and then went to state error.
Switching wifi off, then back on fixed it.
This happened once a week or so for a month. Then it got worse.....
Wifi just wouldn't switch on. Either permanently 'turning on' or 'error' state.
So I downloaded the RRU for ICS and put that on, it was originally running gingerbread . Same problem.
Hardware issue I thought.
And now it's got worse.
Now the phone is rebooting every 5 to 10 mins. Unless it's connected to power.
I tried it with aeroplane mode so wifi was disabled and that doesn't help. Battery has been pulled many times.
Any thoughts before it gets thrown out of the window?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Model: HTC Desire S S510e
Android: 4.04
Sense : 3.6
Software: 14.01. 401.2 710RD
As you have already RUUed to the latest version, which most of the time fixes software issues, I believe its a hardware problem.
You can try to RUU again if that helps.
On the hardware side, it seems the phone is having a hard time communicatin on the wifi modem, you might want to take off the camera cover and check from there. If not, might need to replace wifi chip.
Or better yet, send it to HTC for repairs.
