Dear all,
I've a problem regarding WiFi and flight/airplane mode after upgrade to ICS with my HTC Sensation (S-Off & Root).
The problem is that WiFi turns automatically on at night when the phone is switched into airplane mode with active WiFi.
I tried the original HTC Stock ROM (3.32.401.5) and ARHD 6.5.2 / .3 including a lot of factory resets and several WiFi sleep policies, but nothing works.
Another user (BerntBalchen) at androidforums.com has the same problem (cannot post ext. link here).
Any ideas? Is there a logging tool to see which process is switching on WiFi?
Thanks,
Chris
Yes you can run what is called a logcat with ADB. The only problem with that is you would have to have your device connected via USB all night with a the logcat running to see what is turning on your WiFi.
To learn about ADB and how to set it up just Google ADB or do a a couple of searches here on XDA there is plenty of how to guides out there. Most importantly though you will have to download the Android SDK from the Android Open Source Project. I think there is even a guide on the AOSP website.

Hi everyone, first, this is my first post, new to the forums, at least as a registered user. I have a problem with my phone. I know most of you are wondering why I have not just read the other posts on the forums, but I have. I have attempted every solution to the problem posted previously.
Background: Phone: Samsung charge.
I was being impatient and did not want to wait for the gingerbread update form Verizon. I flashed the leaked gingerbread 2.3.4 onto my phone using odin. Everything went great. I was able to use my phone with no problems except shortened battery life, but nothing major. About a month ago the battery life was impossible to maintain and there were some software bugs, like clicks during calls, startup taking forever, around 2 minutes on average!, and random restarts that never happened before. I decided to look up some fixes and found that verizon and samsung had released GB 2.3.6 for the charge. I got excited and decided I wanted to get that, but I could not via OTA. I read some forum posts and they mentioned attempting a factory reset on the phone then trying OTA update. I went ahead with factory reset and everything went fine. My startup time is around 25 seconds now and no random clicks or gliches, but still not on 2.3.6, which was the whole point. I then decided to just flash the stock 2.3.6 rom to the phone.
Problem: When I plug my phone in to multiple computers it will charge but not connect to the computer. This means on my Mac it does not show as an external drive, which it has in the past. On my windows 7 machine it says that drivers were installed but could not be used (I can get the exact quote if needed.) I attempted to go into device manager and solve problem that way but it shows my phone as "unknown device". I have tried to enter download mode when hooked up to windows computers and no connection is found.
Possible solutions attempted and their outcomes:
1. As stated, I attempted the method shown in a thread on droid forums for installing the samsung drivers. I have attempted multiple times to install the drivers on my windows machine and the device remains "unknown".
2. I have attempted multiple cables on multiple computers, both mac and windows 7. No change.
3. I have installed adb and attempted to locate devices using adb devices command on mac. No devices found.
4. I have attempted all methods with both usb debugging checked and unchecked.
5. I have tried every possible usb port I have.
Ideas/questions I have had that I have no idea are possible or how to fix!
Would a factory reset take away the ability to connect to a computer from my phone. So, is there a piece of software in the build I have that controls the connection between the computer and the phone, an identifier of sorts, which is now missing, now that I have reset the leaked ROM.
Is there a way to flash a new ROM without connecting to a computer, via the sd card, and what is that? I have read some things in other posts but am too much of a n00b to understand most of them when using sdcards.
ANY help will be greatly appreciated. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! I have been at this for at least 6 hours, sifting through forums, searching google, attempting fixes that others have stated worked for them, only to fail every time. Thank you all.
i've had a few issues with this on my Droid Pro. with windows connection a connection assistant came up with some options that I was able to get it to work as a drive.
Getting it to work with adb is another issue alone. The phone needs to be in "debug" mode. I would search for a tutorial on this because you need to edit files on the computer.
for example on my windows I needed to edit one set of files, while on my linux I had to edit another set of things.
I leave my phone in debug mode because i use it for my android app dev on both computers. try that and see if it shows up on your mac.
I tried rooting the phone with a couple of one click methods available on the xda. it failed and also my wifi was not working. I did all the tricks i.e. factory reset, wlan test, flight mode but the wifi did not work. Then i updated my phone thru kies and now it is running android 4.0.4 but still wifi shows turning on error, bluetooth too is not working. Pls Help.
The wifi issue I have noticed on every device that had any version of ics below 4.0.5. Bluetooth seemed to have issues at first when coming from an upgrade, so I had to delete my devices and re-pair. It corrected any issues I had with Bluetooth.

Good Morning XDA-Mindhive!
I've been encountering this issue at work with connecting my phone to my desktop, hopefully I can get a little help.
I'm currently using CleanROM 5.5.1
Kernel version 3.0.31-381038
When I connect my S3 to the computer, I'm getting the following error
There was a problem installing this Hardware:
SAMSUNG Mobile MTP device
Required selection not found in INF.
I have switched usb debugging on and off, still get the same issues, and have went directly to samsung to install the drivers, I did notice that during the install it had issues there too.
My only concern is I remember in a previous build having KTweaker, which after some research it would appear I do not have. I had intially set it up for fast charge so I would not be prompted everytime I connected my phone. I no longer have KTweaker so I'm wondering if it's possible after flashing the new clean rom if it somehow maintained that setting and is not not allowing me to connect it to my desktop.
Any ideas or more information that could help?
I've encountered a problem that I'm thoroughly convinced no one can help me fix (mostly due to the amount of time I've already put into seeking a fix). I recently rooted my phone, and it worked, but now I am starting to experience problems. I used VRoot to root the phone. All of the problems I'm experiencing happened after an attempt to boot my phone into recovery mode using the ROM Manager application.
PHONE INFORMATION
Model # - VS870 4G
Firmware - 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean)
Kernel version - 3.4.0-g2696711 [email protected]
Build # - JZO54K
Software version - VS87012A
Issue 1:
My phone no longer connects to wi-fi. Upon selecting the connection and inputting the pass-code the phone only saves the connection but makes no attempts to connect. It can't possibly be the router that is causing the issue because the phone was able to connect flawlessly before I tried booting into recovery mode.
Issue 2:
My phone's status is currently "Rooted" but it doesn't behave like a rooted phone. When attempting to install applications that require root, the applications insist on informing me that my phone is indeed not rooted. When attempting to re-install lost applications after the numerous amount of hard resets I've done, the applications are shown to be already installed yet they are nowhere to be found on the phone.
Issue 3:
Even after installing the updated USB drivers (and multiple re-installs) any computer I plug the phone into refuses to recognize the phone if it is in Emergency mode, yet it is still recognizable in the default mode.
Issue 4:
In order to install apps, I have to download the .apk file because my phone will not connect to Google Play even when I'm directly connected to the internet via usb or using 4G. Various other applications that require an internet connection refuse to work as well which is making the troubleshooting process extremely frustrating.
Fixes I tried -
Reboot, hard reset, battery/SIM/SD removal, selecting the "Avoid poor connections" option, reset router, re-setup wireless connection (tried without a pass as well), switching the IP setting to "Static" (doesn't allow me to select connect if it is on static), toggled the 802.11g only mode, toggled the routers DHCP server option, unrooting phone (SuperUser deems it impossible due to the lack of a su binary, which I don't understand seeing that when the phone is in emergency mode the status of the phone is "Rooted"), installing a stock firmware install via KDZ, as well as failed attempts to manually install CWM (my purpose of trying to manually install CWM is due to a lot of the fixes I found having "being able to boot in recovery mode" as a requirement, which my phone lacks)
So here is/are my question(s):
If I'm not able to unroot the phone, is taking the phone to a manufacturer no longer an option?
Is there a way to "reset" the wireless hardware/software on the device directly that works around my current issues?
Are there any alternatives to installing the KDZ stock firmware file where the device isn't required to be in Emergency mode?
I'm still not exactly sure what a su binary is but is there a way to install it independently?
Thanks in advanced~
And the intricate thesis pattern.

Have you tried connecting to different routers? Does the connection to that router work on other devices?

of course as i said i have tried everything it is not router problem other devices can connect normally to many routers i have tried..
i am also having a similar problem, even with the stock rom, Wifi would see connections, try to connect, then show "Disconnected"
this is to many different wifi points at my workplace.
same at home, where i have an open connection.
i remember this happened after i installed busybox - when i uninstalled it, this problem vanished - but only for a few days.
when it started happening again, i installed Wifi manager app and used that to connect.
now it started working again.
yesterday i flashed cm11 Android 4.4.4 based rom and again not able to connect to wifi - either through the main wifi settings or through the wifi manager app.
still looking for a solution
i uninstalled busybox, but still no luck.
now i am afraid my rom might malfunction, as it might need busybox somewhere in the background.
earlier on stock rom i was able to boot into safe mode, and then my wifi could connect.
here when i boot into safe mode, system ui crashes, so no way to check if wifi might work.
moved to Mokee 4.4 , still no wifi.
moved to 4.2.2 aokp redefined v3, still no wifi, even in safe mode.
at least the rom is very smooth.
I couldnt get my wifi working,
but this reverse tethering windows tool helped me.
