Wifi error/not working Sensation ICS 6.5.1

When I first booted up WiFi worked for about 2 minutes. Found my home network, connected...appeared all was well.
Then suddenly it stopped and now it'll just read Turning Wi-Fi On... indefinitely. Eventually it'll say error.
Originally superwiped before flashing ROM, flashed the suggested radio.
I tried clearing cache and dalvik, didn't help.
My phone hates wifi apparently. Wi-Fi being junk is the reason I rooted in the first place. Was hoping this'd fix it. The fact that it's "intermittent" makes me wonder if it really is a hardware fault.
Any ideas?

Android Version: 4.0.3
Sense: 3.6
Android Revolution 6.5.1 by mike1986
Kernel: 3.0.16 SebastionFM #1
Hboot- 1.27.1100
Radio- 11.22.3504.07_M
Tried a factory restart w/ sim pulled, still nothing.
The odd thing is how it worked at first when I booted up..then stopped functioning alltogether.

I had the EXACT same thing happen to me this morning. I went to bed last night and wifi was working great. This morning when I took it off the charger I noticed that wifi wasn't running. Tried turning it on an it wouldn't turn on. I thought it may be a glitch so I tried restarting. No change. Realized I had fastboot checked so restarted without it. No change.
If I go to the Settings menu under the icon to switch on wifi it says error. When I try and turn it on it has the message about turning on wifi for a few minutes and then the switch turns off. I also noticed that it is draining my battery VERY fast (most likely because it is continually trying to to turn on wifi)
Not sure what happened or what would cause this. I'm running ARHD 6.2.1.
I was planning on upgrading this afternoon after work to 6.5.1. Hopefully this new wifi issue doesn't get in the way of that...
Any help would be appreciated.

You need to update your firmware first!
In ARHD thread Mike1986 states: 3.32.401.x firmware is required! So go to this tread and get the necessary firmware and you wouldn't have any wifi issues.
I'm also running 6.5.1 and have wifi on for almost the entire day without any problems!

Thanks for the reply BioTeck. I can't speak for BrokenWiFi but for me I've been running on 6.2.1 for about 2 weeks no (with the suggested firmware for that version) and haven't had a problem. Then all of the sudden this morning it started having this problem.
Any suggestions on what I can try? This evening I plan on upgrading firmware to latest as well as upgrading to 6.5.1 so I'm hoping that helps but are there any other suggestions I can try?

That's strange indeed!
If I were you I would try to flash the latest version of ARHD 6.5.1 and see how that goes? For me 6.5.1 is rock stable, fast and it feels smooth!

I did update it originally.
I decided to go through again...I just downloaded 3.32.401 from that thread...flashed it, superwiped and installed ROM. Still no dice. It reads all the same as it did before in the "software information" area.
I don't think I could have booted w/o that firmware correct? I'm coming from gingerbread originally...
Am I missing something?
Thanks a ton for helping me, I really really really really appreciate it.

Strange.... Apparently it's an ICS bug and has been posted here!
[09Jan]Turning on Wi-Fi gives an error after flashing hacked Kernel
This seems to happen if you flash the 4.0.1 kernel on a 4.0.3 ROM, make sure you've flashed the correct kernel for your ROM base and cleared both cache and dalivk after flashing.

On the ARHD thread, there seems other to have the same problem. Some of them solved the problem by reflashing. Perhaps you can try that as well and post this problem in ARHD's thread as well...

This happen to me way way long ago, back during the series 3 ARHD. After going through many things, a simple rom reflash fixed it for me.
I was never able to figure out why. I asked around in here and else where and there were some talk of it back then with a few tips for solution, which did not work.
As far as I could tell, that was the only time ever that I flashed a rom without turning off wifi before rebooting into recovery. I have since then diligently turn off wifi before flashing anything. Never encountered the problem again.
P.s. I recalled reading something about how the wifi is stuck on "On", while the rom trying to turn something that's already On, On and errored itself.

Wanted to update on my progress. I solved the issue on my phone:
I was messing around with it today while waiting for a meeting to start and I found where the wifi settings, etc are stored. It ended up being a corrupt/invalid wpa_supplicant.conf file. All I had to do was pull that file out from the directory and turn on wifi and *poof* it worked again. When I turned wifi on it created a new file and everything has been great so far this afternoon.
In case anyone wants to give it a shot who is having wifi issues you can find the wpa_supplicant.conf file in /data/misc/wifi/ directory on your phone. Simply cut/rename the file and put it somewhere else. If you have wifi passwords you want to save, you can open the original file using a text editor and copy the settings over to the new file.
I believe the cause of my issue was actually Titanium Backup. Looking at the last time it backed up my wifi settings was back when I wasn't running ICS yet. Yesterday I did restore an app using it and must have accidentally restored that old backup. Their formats are different from Gingerbread to ICS apparently and it was causing errors.

Unfortunately after reading your latest post, Broken WiFi, I don't know that the fix that worked for me applies to you but just in case --> Are you using (or did you use) Titanium Backup to restore any of your apps? Is it possible you have a corrupt file as well? Obviously you are wiping out that file when you superwipe so I don't think you have the same issue but it is probably worth checking.

Funny, it worked!
I had a feeling the supplicant was the problem..
In my last rom it wouldn't let me touch anything in /data even though I was SU and S-OFF.....
So I'd just delete the one in /system... but it never helped.
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooohooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Seriously, I've spent like 15 hours troubleshooting this...reading every thread on the net.
Never thought to try and delete the one in /data in this rom.
THANK YOU so very very much.
I can't post in DEV, but maybe you could let some people know over there that it's a fix.

I copied wpa_supplicant.conf from gb miui and it seems to be working for now, will test it some more..

Sounds like hardware..I had a problem with what turned out to be the battery cover, it has the antennas built in to it.. changed this and was good again. Worked for me..

After deleting the above suggest file, my wifi no longer says "turning on" but says error. If I hit turn on, it reverts back to constantly saying "turning on".
no luck for me

One thing you might try doing is deleting it and then try restarting the phone. That would be the next step I would do. If it doesn't work then you might have to start looking into a hardware or rom issue.
After you try deleting and then restart if that doesn't work I'd back everything up and try flashing your rom again.

I did try to cut/delete/rename the file through ES File Explorer and Super manager but the file doesn't move/delete/rename. Plus for some reason this file is under "/etc/wifi/" instead of "/data/misc/wifi/" /data is an empty folder in my phone. Maybe you are using different explorer?
By the way , I've updated my phone with OTA_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5-1.50.401.1_P_release_246627z7pljztztog0er50. Everything works fine except wifi. when I switch back to gingerbread , it works fine. even it worked fine when I installed hypernonsense ICS rom. any idea what that is? will be greatful for the help. regards

I've deleted the file and restarted many times, Wifi will say OFF or ERROR, i will try to turn it on and the same problem occurs, stuck saying "turning on". I've reflashed rom and firmware many times using different kernels and techniques etc. I can't believe it to be hardware related as everything was fine with version 6.3.1 and firmware 3.30... then updated to 6.5.1 and 3.32.. fine again however a couple of hours later WiFi was off and continued to say "turning on". I'm going to try to downgrade to 6.3.1 and 3.30 again to see if that helps..

I've having the same problem. I updated to firmware 3.32 and ROM ARHD 6.5.1 last Saturday and WiFi seemed to be working until yesterday. Today it won't work at all - I can't make or receive calls and had to move the SIM card to a Blackberry curve so I could get some work done.
Tonight I tried deleting the wifi supplicant file posted earlier and that seems to help for one or two calls then it's back to no calls at all. So then I wiped the cache and devlik cache and tried again. That may have helped, but I'm not sure yet.

I'm starting to see a real trend in these WiFi issues. There have been a lot of threads about it lately. I don't know what is causing the problem though.
I had my WiFi shut off again today with the same issue. The fix I posted earlier worked again but having to do this every few days is not going to be acceptable...
I REALLY am enjoying ics and arhd 6 but I'm afraid between this WiFi problem and the fact that T-Mobile WiFi calling doesnt work I might be going back to gingerbread...

Wifi won't work on ICS, only on HC - Help needed

Hello all I hope you can help me with this...
I'm having the strangest issue with my P6200L... Everything was working fine a couple of days ago... I was using latest CM9 by aorth here, browsing the web and everything when suddenly.... Wifi disconnected and never reconnected again...
The symptoms are:
- displays all available networks in range
- if I force to connect, all networks disappear and saved connections are "not in range"
- if I turn off/on again it displays all networks in range again, saved ones are "disabled", if I force connect it repeats the cycle.
I tried factory reset dozens of times. Didn't work.
I tried flashing CM9 again (with this and another patch I found on the thread (forgot where it is)) dozens of times. Didn't work.
I tried flashing official ICS (Open Austria) dozens of time. Didn't work.
Needless to say, I did data wipe/factory reset/format cache/clear dalvik twice between each flash.
And then I flashed stock Honeycomb. It worked. Wifi connected! All was fine!
Marvelous! Or so it seemed...
Now that I got it working again, I want to upgrade to ICS, so I flashed ICS Open Austria. Wifi stopped working.
"Ohh well", I thought, "let's try everything again"
Flashed stock Honeycomb again. Working.
Flashed CM9 + patch. Stopped working.
Flashed ICS Open Austria. Still not working.
Flashed stock Honeycomb yet again. Working.
Flashed ICS Open Austria. Not working.
Flashed stock Honeycomb. Working.
My conclusion: Wifi works only on stock 3.2.
Why? I have absolutely no idea whatsoever.
I've tried every possible combination of flashing and wiping data (except from stock ICS recovery, as I have one of those bad chips and I'm afraid of the brick bug)
Is there anything else left to try? Maybe copying some system files over from stock Honeycomb to an ICS firmware?
I'm really getting desperate here and I've run out of options. I'm hoping the community here on XDA helps me solve this mystery.
It is similiar to this bug here, but although the user there fixed it by several wipes/flashes, apparently I'm not having the same luck.

Hahahaha I'm 100% sure this is NOT the issue here
Wifi networks keep dissapearing when I try to connect. I have tried in 3 different routers with different encryption settings, so I'm sure this is not on my end.

Could be that you flash and incorrect firmware, maybe for the p6210 tab?
Sorry, I'm just guessing , I don't know what could be the problem.

No problem about that, we're all guessing
But no, I'm sure it's for the P6200 because it worked the first time I flashed. If it was for the P6210 my tab wouldn't even boot, partition layout is different...

I'm having this kind of issue aswell. Wifi is doin' fine with HC 'til flashed it to ICS. Damn, I really hope someone could help us regards with this issue. I also tried Wifi fixer, it helps but not that enough. 'Cause it connects me to my wifi but after a minute or two. It'll disconnect and reconnect. This is happening again and again. And it's kinda annoying when watching video on youtube or surfing the net. Well, just sharing my issue.

Yeah, I know how it's like... I reverted back to ICS while there isn't a fix... It's weird because it also happens on official ICS from Samsung, which it shouldn't

guys, I had the identical problem with wifi on ics. I returned to the hc and wifi worked. Then again the ics and did not work. Wipe cache, Dalvik, data, everything I tried several times and no results . Then I installed wifi fixer and it was a little better, over *# 94 349 # tablet began work with the occasional stop. a couple of times I rebooted it. and after one reboot started to work normally. I know that I m not helped, but it is my experience.

Are you talking about this app? I've tried that, but the only thing it did was to keep disabling/enabling the wifi... Several reboots later, same results... I'm glad it worked for you, but so far I'm not in luck

OK, I got some progress.... But it's still bad, keeps disconnecting... Here's what I've done...
I flashed CM9 with wifi patch and tried the app above. Restarted, no luck. Still didn't work.
I removed my SIM card, restarted in CM9, and Wifi worked! If I put it back in, wifi stops working.
I tried changing country codes with the app above, lost 3G SIM card connectivity. No wifi and no 3G, I though I f***ed up everything.
ODINed back to stock Honeycomb. Got a "no SIM card" error. But wifi worked.
Restarted several times, tried changing country codes several times, still got the "no SIM card" error.
After several attempts by removing/inserting the SIM card and restarting I got it working, finally.
Tried flashing ICS Open Austria. Both Wifi and 3G works!!! However wifi keeps disconnecting every 40 seconds or so.
Tried Wifi Fixer from Market, but all it does is monitor when wifi disconnects and then resets it. It connects again, but 40 seconds later it disconnects again, thus repeating the cycle.
It's still not usable, but it is some progress. I'm afraid to factory reset in official ICS because of brick bug, but I'm willing to do some more steps if anyone got some more ideas
THANK YOU very much for your response petrenj! We're getting somewhere here! :good:

Unfortunately I'm experiencing the same problem as yours. I have 3 tabs and all of them exhibits the problem in ICS. Wifi seems a lot more stable in honeycomb. I already tried xxlpl and xxlpn with/without wifi fix from aorths cm9. I'm also experiencing force reboots when I disable and enable wifi for sometime.

How odd... It's weird that some people have this issue while others don't... Also, I'm beggining to wonder if this is something that aorth or other dev can fix, seeing as it affects several different devices with ICS, and not only our tab. I don't think it's a hardware problem, because wifi works in Honeycomb...
So far, if we want to use wifi in our tabs we must remove the SIM card or just stick with Honeycomb... I've stopped using my tab for a while due to the constant data wipes/flashes and dedicated it to try to fix this issue... I really don't want to restore all my apps twice a day while switching between ICS and HC versions
Are there any P6210 users reading this? If yes, are you able to use wifi in your tab? As the P6210 doesn't have a slot for a SIM card, this shouldn't affect you, right?
Anyway, let's wait for aorth to be back from his trip and introduce this thread to him. He should be able to clarify something to us.

WiFi connectivity issue?!

wasnt really sure how to title this...
But recently i lost wifi connectivity when applying a few mods, so i removed them & was able to reconnect... sort-of...
1.) in the 'WiFi options" it says im connected, the icon in the notification bar shows im connected and drops mobile-data... but when trying to do anything that involves the internet: Reddit, Youtube, Phandroid, XDA, Pulse-News, ect... i have no connection... But what's weird is, is that when i run a speed test, it gets signal and runs the test just fine. Also And-SMB connects, as well as Fing, and Network-Info-2. they all get an IP and mac address... WTH!?
2.) when turning on the WiFi, it will say "obtaining IP address" after about a minute or so of that, it drops to "remembered" then tries rescanning, and tries to connect again, then drops it again... and this will go on forever, untill i shut the wifi off...
------------------
tried running Qkster's-WiFi-Fix (in CWM) to see if that would fix anything... still in the same boat...
- any suggestions?

What Rom are you running? It seems the mods borked it. Try reflashing

wifi fix sometime works...sometimes not.
this wifi issue is seen when switching between rom with changes to file system.
won't see it with eman to aeon or zeus.
will see it with stock rfs to voodoo ext4. cm9 ext4 to cm10 mtd. cm10 Mtd to gb rfs or ext4. etc.
good wipes and factory,data reset helps.
if you wipe and reset and reflash and it didn't help, you will need to Odin or heimdall to stock with repartition

well the Wifi-Fix seemed to fix it, but ive been running on MoM since 1.3 hit the lot. and there is a weird issue that when the phone first boots, the icons in the noti-bar are blue, then after the device goes to sleep or sits idle for too long, they wont turn back to blue... mobile-data continues to work and everything runs prefect, but wifi wont connect unless i either reboot, or set in airplane-mode for 20+ seconds, then swap strait to wifi from there.. and once the wifi is connected, it shuts off completely if i let the phone go to sleep.

Sorry, I can't see your signature from the xda app.
Anyways, the only way I see your issues completely resolved is by reflashing.

wifi fix sometime works...sometimes not.
this wifi issue is seen when switching between rom with changes to file system.
won't see it with eman to aeon or zeus.
will see it with stock rfs to voodoo ext4. cm9 ext4 to cm10 mtd. cm10 Mtd to gb rfs or ext4. etc.
good wipes and factory,data reset helps.
if you wipe and reset and reflash and it didn't help, you will need to Odin or heimdall to stock with repartition

Almost same here, I'm currently on unmodified 8/16 with inverted apps but the WiFi & Bluetooth is not functioning as it was back on MIUI v4. It started from the first flash of JB 4.1.1 CM10 and continued till now.
I tried ODIN back to stock roms using .pit with both FROYO, GB and a few different ROMs back and forth already with no luck. flashed back to CM10 from ICS following directions EXACTLY (the flashing instructions are crystal clear to me and I'm confident that I followed them 100% each time). Tried a few wifi fix apps already. Nothing worked.
Unlike others, at least on CM10 the wifi sometime (!rarely, when I press wifi ON from settings and keep it sitting for a long time like overnight ! and wifi does NOT switch on every time) comes to life and finds my DHCP enabled netgear router at home, but as I put my WPA2-PSK security code it accepts then just sits there saying remembered/saved. No connection done or getting IP address, nothing. Tried the same without security also. Can't browse either.
I can see the wifi MAC id in the settings though, NOT the network IP, can't set direct IP. Most interesting part is that it scans and finds networks as mentioned above. So, can't say the hardware is broken !!

[Q] How to fix? Wifi not turning on.

This problem first happened upon upgrading to the Revolver 4.2.0 build, but I've had issue with AOKP as well so I'm posting here instead of one of the rom specific threads.
The issue is that my wifi refuses to turn on. When I switch on the wifi toggle, the button greys out and it gets stuck on "Turning Wi-Fi on..."
I've tried via CWM to delete the Dalvik, Cache, Factory wipe, reinstall roms, but nothing worked.
In the advanced tab it also shows that the Mac Address and IP Address is unavailable.
Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

Try a custom kernel... aokp ICS runs good with raymanfx's harmony ICS or guevor's aokp ICS kernel

It looks like a WiFi driver issue, install a custom kernel n try as suggested in above comment..

Humm, might not be the (only) problem.
I've tried using 3 other different kernels and none worked to fix it. I've cleared both caches and even reinstalled the rom for the kernel installs.
Not sure, but my CWM also suffers from the loop issue, though haven't bothered fixing it since I wanted to fix this wifi issue first.

Try going back to stock(unrooting) by using easy flash... if WiFi works fine with stock ROM then its just a matter or installing again...

[Q] 4.2.2 Wifi Issues

I've tried digging through the interwebs with several searches and couldn't find anything about wifi issues on any 4.2.2 ROM for my mytouch. I've used JellyKang 1.8 and Baked BlackBean 8 and both don't allow me to turn on wifi at all, everytime i try to switch on it immediately reverts to off. Wifi did work with CM10.1 on JB 4.2.2 so I'm not sure why there's a problem using the other ROMs. Anybody know anything about it or can give me any feedback? It would be extremely appreciated.
Also, I've cleared cache, dalvik cache, fixed permissions, and factory reset before flashing Jellykang or blackbean.
***EDIT***
I'm also missing my MAC address, isn't that supposed to be there regardless?
And the toggle button for wifi is greyed out, I'd post the screenies I have if i could.
