[Q] HTC sensation "wi-fi" error . Can not turn wi-fi on.

Hello,
As soon as I tap the wi-fi icon, it turns to an "error" state.
I ve seen some threads here, but could not be sure about the resolution. To give idea let me sum it up. My device has been brought from US and I am in europe. İt is alreasy ship s-off.
android version : 2.3.4
software number : android revolution HD 3.6.0. by mike1986
kernel version : 2.6.35.14-Sensation-faux123-v0.1.8+
baseband version : 10.42.9007.00p .....
build number : 1.73.401.2 CL161971

basilcallly tells to apply a signed ROM . But can you please advise which ROM would solve my wi-fi issue. and how to apply that?
Thanks in advance

I also had similar issue when I flashed the original recovery to remove the rooting and clock work mod...
Now if u have the original recovery installed...flash the OTA updates through it and if you don't have the OTA you need to flash the original ROM
After the flashing ur wifi will work normal

hello,
actually I am so new to the stuf. I havent applied any updates to the device, but I guesss it has been s-off ed and applied a different ROM before it has been sold to my friend in USA. Now, which exact ROM would you suggest me to flash and actually where I can find it and read the how to ?.
Thanks

after stock and root i was on Revolution 3.6.1 and now i am using S3N5EaY v 1.4.0 -> agree .. its very smooth - fast and looks great. but still the most important thing is : battery life.. so before i had to charge 2 times a day on hard-use.
theres no need anymore at the moment ;-)
try out by yaself..

Ello m8,
It appears your in the same boat as me, i have the wifi error too, it doesn't even turn on to be able to see networks, let alone connect to them so it's quite horrible.
What i've done:
Flashed pretty much every rom i possibly could. (old ones, new ones, no effect)
Changed the recovery to 4ext (which works great but didn't help)
Changed kernels (a lot)
Changed Radios and RIL files (a lot)
Flashed an official RUU (no effect at all)
Went back to S-ON as described in the tutorial on the main xda sensation guide, then S-OFF'd again.
I'm now back on P3D v 8 and it's running lovely but alas, still no wifi.
I've changed the back cover (the yellow connectors at the top have something to do with the wifi) Don't mess around with these as you may break something, changing the case had no effect, apparently the wifi still connects without the back cover on the phone.
I am literally at my wits end with this and i got my phone for free from my work and i was only supposed to have had it for a while (4 months) so if i say it's broke, they may take it back and i've lost the phone completely, if that wasn't the case then i would have sent it back after i'd tried everything software wise i could think of.
I'm not saying that you are in the same situation exactly but if you are then it looks bleak and i would say anything next to removing the wifi chip and replacing it would mean the wifi will never work, plus tutorials for replacing the wifi on a sensation are scarce to say the least (torque screwdrivers at the ready)
If i get it working i'll let you know how, please do the same if you get any joy.
Oh i almost forgot, another thread on another site they mention using an app called wefi, i didn't have any luck but you might.
Good luck matey Hope you have more than i did.

Hi,
I am having the same issue.
Have been running android revolution HD 3.6.5. by mike1986 and previous versions of it (2, 3) and no issues with the WiFi, as one day it just started (yesterday to be precise). I did not install anything or played with settings that could mess with the wi-fi. One day ago was working ok and the next not.
Tried the Wefi app but it did not help either.
feeling hopeless...

Looks like this error is more common than it would first have appeared, read my post a few up for what i've tried, i even feel like dropping it if it's something inside so as to knock it back into place, but i haven't yet Lol that's desperation.
I've got an appointment with HTC soon and i'm getting it changed, if anyone gets this sorted then let me know as i'd rather keep my phone.

Hi,
I also tried all you tried and no results.
Changed the case with a friends phone but did not help either.
After a lot of reading through the forums did a logcat to see what the hack the phone is saying about this error and it seems it cannot load the driver.
If it helps smb to go deeper can post it.
Gave a thought or two about knocking it against the wall or throw it from the window but after-all, i think i can live for some time without wifi, my GPRS speed is not bad and maybe soon will be having 3G and during work time can use internet pass-through.
Worst case scenario, will sell it and get EDGE the new quad-core monster HTC will be releasing next year Q1 or early Q2.

Dude I got the same problem and I did the same procedure so far but same results as well.
I am just wondering if you got any better results for this issue.
Thanks

Same problem, bad results...
I had the same problem. Both my Bluetooth and WiFi would get stuck on "turning on" but never did, I flashed so many ROMs and Kernels, Tried RUU's from Europe,Asia, and USA and nothing worked. SO I CALLED HTC...thankfully I was still under warranty (It's a 12 month warranty) and shipped my phone away after flashing the latest official T-Mobile RUU, Un-Rooting, and going back to S-ON. It's been a week...I called and they said THE MOTHERBOARD needed to be replaced, which I think is the "default fix" if they can't solve the issue. So hopefully in a week I'll have my phone back...Best of Luck...don't mean to be a Debby Downer but I tried EVERYTHING. Give em a call, it won't hurt to try.

ICS Wifi and Restart Issues

Yesterday, I upgraded htc sensation to ice cream sandwich. After upgrading, wifi worked for few seconds and after that it stopped working. It's showing disconnected and not scanning the Wifi Routers around. Secondly, after every restart, it's shows that android is upgrading and optimizing the applications.
I have HTC_Asia_WWE HTC_044 Sensation. Any of you guys faced this issue? have you managed to resolve this?

For WIFI you can use this application , i used it and it's working fine with me now
http://www.fardjad.com/android/wifix/
also i have the same problem when restarting the device, and i have a problem with cell broadcast every time i disable it , after restart it's enabled again

I have exactly the same symptom on my Sensation XE - like you Asian sourced, but operating in Qatar. Like you - I know I could root, but would prefer to keep my phone unrooted and stock for the time being.
Reading about the Wifi fix at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21406675 it could be that HTC have screwed up the Wifi settings where it reads the country code is Qatar. Be curious to see if this is a common problem for all Qatari HTC ICS upgraders. The other common problem with ICS and WiFi seems to be the WPA_supplicant.conf file getting corrupted.
Question - if you rip your SIM out, can you see any WiFi SSIDs, and connect to any? This should show if you've got a problem a or problem b - as the WiFi country code is set by the SIM card. have you logged a problem with HTC? The more problems logged might be evidence they have a bug, rather then just telling you to do a factory reset or reboot your router.....

I have an HTC__038 (SuperCID'd) which I bought in the Philippines. I'm on Qatar for holiday. I'm running Virtuous Inquisition 4.0.1.
It's not the router's fault guys and factory resetting it would be just bringing the pain of reconfiguring other devices in your network. My nieces have phones running Android 2.3 devices and they can connect to the Wifi properly. WiFix didn't work for me either.
The thing was, that 5sec that the phone was able to see the SSID, I was able to configure it with WPA2 and managed to have it saved but after that no SSID's were recognized by the phone. So having no Wifi, I just left the phone alone to empty battery since I was just staying home.
After charging fully and doing a cold boot, the phone could connect to the home wifi with no troubles. I rebooted and emptied/cold boot again just to make sure and it connects without a hitch now.
I don't exactly know how this is a solution but you guys could try it and test your mileage on it.
ON SOMETHING UNRELATED: All I'm getting around Doha is HSDPA. Have you guys managed to get HSPA or HSPA+?

I've ripped my SIM out and tried it without the SIM, without success.
I'll point to my previous post that the wifi fix applictaion implies that some system security settigns for WiFi are based upon the country of the SIM card.
If everyone in Qatar (where HTC have no official presence) has this issue, I suspect the issue above. I strongly recommend that anyone who has the issue log it via the htc website, and be quite specific about the scenario, country of us and source of the phone. Enough users reporting the same issue will set alarm bells ringing and maybe get some action.
With regard to the previous post - tired a cold boot with a fully chraged battery and conencting to my home WiFi network without success. No idea if Qtel support HSPA/+. How does one tell?

Got same problem with restarting and optimizing apps, didnt figured out how to get rid of it yet, another thing that bothers me are all of sudden shutdowns, the usual message pops up sayin my batery is low (usualy 15-20%) and then it turns off the phone completely

I too am in Qatar, though I bought my HTC Sensation unbranded in the UK. Just upgraded to ICS and I'm without wifi, why didn't this come up on google BEFORE I installed it?
I've been onto HTC online and they tell me they need me to post the phone back to UK (or SPain/Taiwan if I prefer) and they will fix it, but I will loose SMS and anything else I've not backed up and all my apps will be wiped.
I'm furious!

A quick update. I've just got back home and taken my QTEL sim card out and put a UK Three sim card in and I have full wireless functionality, which is great. However I can't use this to make my calls, but at least it gives a clue that might lead to a simple fix.
Thankfully I didn't do the factory reset as advised by the muppet at HTC.
---------- Post added at 01:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 AM ----------
I swapped back to Qtel and wifi worked for maybe 10 mins, then stopped again, swapped back to UK Three and wifi worked again.
But this infernal upgrading apps everytime it starts is a PITA too.

Out of curiosity - does WiFi work if you remove the Qtel SIM and reboot?
Have you told HTC the solution/issue? I think as a community we've done pretty much all the debugging we can do - clearly Qtel SIMS are causing some sort of interaction with WiFi (system security settings) as per the WiFi fix apk for rooted phones. Ive also heard people having issues in other smaller countries which do not have an official HTC presence.
For those who still have the issue - I'm going to try to revert back to gingerbread tonight. I'm still very much a noob - I just want a phone to work and don't want to tinker with it - but it would appear that if I download an RUU from filefactory and have the right release for your phone it'll install automagically. If it's the worng release and you haven't rooted your phone, it won't install - no harm done.

After update a ICS my wifi turn on when I press power button all the morning

Yes, I tried no sim card first and it didn't work. Oddly it's not working with the UK sim at the moment, though it was earlier this morning.
I emailed HTC last night so obviously I've not had a reply yet.
I spoke to HTC about reverting back and was told it's not possible.
On the plus side, I've reinstalled the drivers and I can now get online with the phone using the USB cable with internet pass through, but it's not an answer.

On 1 - There does seem to be a lag issue soemtimes on wifi packing it in. On my inital run on ICS I'd used my phone for 5-10 minutes before it lost wifi, then it's been consistently bad.
I got a reply from HTC today, worryingly the ticket is status "pending closed". He asked for baseband and kernel release. Knowing the way an IT developer thinks it's a case of looking at the bug report for 2 seconds and thinking "this guy has rooted his phone and that's caused the issue - let's prove it by getting baseband and kernel release". I reiterated to HTC that by my count there are 5 people from Qatar who've posted on this issue, as well as some other "minor" locations. On the upside - at least the developer/QA team have looked at the bug and asked at least one question. Just need to get someone in the developer/QA team who's heard of the issue multiple times to take notice.
With regard to reverting back - not possible through official channels. But if you find the right RUU you can revert back without being rooted, to an official release. Subject to time tonight - that's my plan. You need to find things like your CID and use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195475 to translate it to the right release. Maybe use CID_getter (via market/play) and make sure you have the right SKU (I'm learning this on the fly!) and try and find the RUU at the filefactory link which is posted several times (I can't post it).
On the USB pass through - is there a special HTC driver? I couldn't get that working either!

For the USB passthrough I just went into HTC Sync on my laptop which I ever use and hit the update button and it installed the latest usb driver as part of it.
Another update:
I've just tried a Vodafone Qatar sim in the phone and that doesn't work with wifi either so it looks like a country issue rather than a provider issue.

Idle thought - I've had a thought that the issue might be character set related? I.E. Our phones are expecting one character set (in my case - the SEA language), and from the SIM it's picking up Qatar, running into an Arabic character somehow, and this is causing some sort of mis configuration on wireless.
I heard back from HTC again on their baseband/kernel question - I asked why the status was pending closed, they said it's part of the process they need to do when they go back to the user. They say to "kindly notice that HTC are working the issue".
As I'm the only one they're asking the questions from, do I revert back to gingerbread tonight and give up, or deal with the first world hardship of having a non smart smart phone in the hope I can help others?

Even I tried Vodafone sim and wifi wasn't working. Then I tried Indian Sim and bingo wifi was working. So I updated my ticket with HTC support team and their reply was standard one that we have forwarded your recent post to the team in head office. Man this is so frustrating.

Well I've spoken to HTC in the UK with a really nice guy there who didn't try to fob me off with the usual, reboot, hard reset etc etc
He listened to what I told him and admitted he has no idea what the issue is, they are going to report it and see what they can do, in the meantime he did suggest a factory reset would be worth a shot. I pointed out that if it is a fault with both Qtel AND voda that maybe they should stop the rollout in Qatar until they have tested it and fixed the issue.
I really don't want to have to reload all my apps and more importantly lose all the data stored in the apps so I'm off to find a backup.
If it's not working by Friday, I'm going to root the damn thing and flash a new ROM (even if it's 2.3) on it and sod the warranty.

I've done a factory reset very early on in this saga and it made no difference...
Edit - Someone in the ICS makes it to the middle East thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1570818&page=2 says it'll be fixed this month, although I question how they can know this yet HTC are asking me for questions on the nature of the problem - I.E. still debugging. Lucky it's early in the month.

[Q] does anyone have rebooting issues?

Hey guys, I've had my HTC One S for T-Mobile and ive had it for about 1 week and it has rebooted on me twice so far. not sure why. the first time it was in my pocket and i heard the T-Mobile boot up animation sound go off in my pocket and pulled it out my phone to see it was just booting up for some reason. then today i was going to look at my friendstream widget (on my home screen) and my phone locked up for a second and then rebooted itself. i'm not happy about it since i once owned a g2x which rebooted like crazy. i'm hoping it stops randomly doing this crap but i reported it to HTC since it gave me the option once it rebooted. my HTC one s is rooted with the stock rom with bloatware removed and carry IQ removed. i just wanted to see if i'm the only one having this issue.

It happens to me too :/ sometimes i wake up in the morning and i see the HTC error message. Maybe a software issue?

not sure why it does this. i just wanted to make sure i wasnt the only one having this issue. but i do hope its a software issue. i keep reporting it to htc when it ask me to send them the error or whatever it says. maybe htc will fix it

I had like two reboots, but then I updated the phone and the problems disappeared. Have you updated to the latest firmware ?

i dont think there is an update for the tmobile htc one s.

Two days since I bought it and already rebooted two times when exiting the mail client while network was switching from H to 3G. I upgraded it to the latest firmware OTA just after putting the SIM card into.

My son had a problem with random reboots. After enabling Best Wifi Performance in Wifi, advanced settings, they went away. This is on a TMOUS version. Could be totally unrelated to your issue, but worth a try. I've noticed that the wifi has some weirdness to it, like hanging on to a connection long after it's out of range. I hope there is a software update soon.

yeah i guess here in the US we havent got an ota update that i know of. i kept checking for updates but it said my one s is up to date.

Another reboot this morning. This time I received a txt thru Facebook Messenger. I saw it on my desktop and ear, exactly at the same time, the HTC One S rebooting. This might be app related this time.
My One S specs:
- EU edition
- Stock ROM, 1.78 OTA
- Wifi disabled

Yes my H1S reboots about 3 times a week, or the "Loading ..." window is seens 3 or 4 times a week as well.

one more time... I'm gonna consider switching to another ROM in a very near future.

rebooting on 1.78 stock and other custom roms too
Hi guys, I had this issue with stock rom on 1.78 and previous too, so it is probably a radio issue. If I am connected to my wifi network at home, then I go out, the phone switches to hsdpa (as it should) and then I come back home,the reconnection to the wifi network causes the phone to reboot.
I had this issue on all roms I used, both stock and trickdroid 3.1 / 4.3.
My wifi direct is already disabled, my location is Italy. I have seen also that people on the US T-mobile support webpage are complaining about something very similar, wifi related.
Thanks

I'm on tmous and have had two of these reboots since I got the phone on US release day.
As others have said, mine have only happened when I'm on the very edge of my WiFi coverage. It's like the phone can't decide which network to grab on to and freaks out. I don't have the issue when it's just normally switching from WiFi to data like when I go out and then come home. It only seems to happen when I'm right on the edge of WiFi for a few minutes.
Not a huge deal, since its only happened a couple of times. If I remember when I'm off this week, i'll try to get a logcat because I should be able to reproduce it at the edge of my back yard

that would be great, as it sounds like it is the same issue. I always found tricky to save logcats due to amount of information in them and spotting the exact reason for crashing.

One s keeps restarting + call nois I guess

My wife's... I got it locally from a guy from Craigslist... he told me that it was a replacement phone from HTC ... it did have the original screen cover on it ... but came in a box that had a sleeve for the phone like ones that were repaired...
It is restarting randomly
I did a reset from settings ... and it didn't help.
That is besides the fact that there is noise.... like tfffffffffffffff during calls.
What would u do.. I have a contract with T-Mobile that I terminated effective from the 19th of the month I guess ...
Its not rooted or anything ... stock everything ... other than that ... its a sexy phone that misses the search button

i have random reboots sometimes for no reason. also i have crackling sounds when talking on the phone only when im using wifi calling. i have no clue why it does this. i bought mine brand new from tmobiles customer service. also i have had tmobile replace my phones i got from craigslist all the time. i just instant message them online through there website and ask them to see if my IMEI number is correct in the system because i am waiting for an ota update and i wont get it if its not correct in the system. they change the IMEI number to the one i give them, then they tell u to wait 2-4 hours for the system to update. i usually wait a few days. then if im having an issue i just call them and tell them my problems and usually if they cant fix it over the phone they send me out a new unit no questions asked. hope this helps

as mentioned, wait for OTA. although, not sure that solved noise.
i rooted and am running LeeDroids latest rom and all noise is gone--perfect--

Thanks a lot guys ... so its not only me with the noise and reboot problem...
I called technical service and they told me that the ota update should resolve the issue with restarting and that the voice is a network issue - I think that they are full of it ... anyways ... until the update comes to me I will probably not have their contract anymore !!! I terminated effective the 19th...
Thanks for the tips ... I just didn't want to root until I check if its a hardware issue or not ...
Have a wonderful day

rebooting switching from hsdpa to wifi randomly
Hi, I am having the same issue of reboots. However, this happens only when my phone switches from hsdpa to wifi, when I get back home. But not always.
I had this issue with all the stock roms and with leedroid 2.1 (awesome rom, by the way, recommended!).
I also installed the latest t-mobile radio zip file, which came out with the 1.84 update, although I am in italy. Radio seems to work properly.
In order to make sure it is a phone issue I temporarily changed my wifi router, from pirelli to sitecom, so far no reboots, but I need to wait few days to proove it.
I rang htc customer service, they said that even if my phone is only 2 months old my warranty now has gone down in the drain, as I unlocked the bootloader. They suggested to send the phone for repair, but I will not do this because: 1) I know the repair centre of htc in italy, it is not actually htc but a subcontractor which prooved to be highly incompetent when I had to repair my htc desire 2 years ago 2) it is clearly a software problem, which could be resolved by future updates.
The level of competence of the customer service is a total disaster, they can only say "reset your phone" or "send it to repair", disguting!!!
So for the moment this is the way it is, but I love this phone, is very cool and I will live with this issue I guess til is resolved by an update.
I also have a galaxy s2 which I haven't switched off for a month by now and never rebooted!!! On the top of it with the latest update to ics is awesome, user interface is as fluid as a river, this is the very last time I buy an htc, I promise.
If there is any progress please guys post it here or in the other threads related to this topic.
Ciao,
Franco

WiFi Problems with One S

Hello everyone,
my wife has an One S and is quite happy with it. she has only one gripe. sometimes the phone just cant connect to any wifi network. she noted it after a few days owning the device without using it much on the road, allmost just using internet at our house via wifi when she got a message that her free quota is used up and she will be slowed down till the end of the billing perios.
Sometimes (apparently when away for some time) the phone cant connect to wifi anymore. it does not show the wifi symbol in the notification bar. when i look in the wifi settings its constantly switching between showning the networkname and the encryption details and showing "connecting" every few seconds. because she has used up all her bandwith for this billing period i wantet to give her access to the bandwith of my contract via the wireless hotspot function fo my GNex. here we have the same problem.
when she restarts her phone it immediantly connects to any wifi network she has access to.
after reading a bit i found out about some bug in the one s but as faar as i understand it that leaves the wifi sleeping when not connected for some time.
i tryed the fix about the static ip which looked like it helped, but after a few days we are at the same problem again.
she is happy with the stock sense and her unrooted phone and does not really want to mess that deep with her phone, but she is also not really willing to reboot her device every so often (she had an issue with her old phone, HTC Desire, that also could be fixed with a reboot but she could not stand it and got the one s as a replacement)
is this a know problem with the phone or something i could get fixed from htc? some settings that we could tweek? would a custom rom help? if so is there one as close as possible to the stock rom that fixes it? so if it helps maybe i could unlock her phone and install an "allmost" stock rom so she does not have to handle a totally new enviroment besides sense.

Have you updatet it to the latest official patch, 2.21.401.10?
I believe there has been updates to the radio so maybe it will fix the problem?

the phone is now three weeks old. dont know about that patch. my wife is not here right now so i cant check the phone. was it an OTA update? cuz i dont remember that there was one. or do i have to download it from the htc site?
wife just came back.
cant find any note of a patch on her phone the version of her software is 1.78.401.2
when i check for software updates i just get a message that no new software is aviable.
i also looked at the htc page there i cant find any firmware for the one s. just the htc sync manager.

That is quite old version. And yes the version I mentioned was OTA update. I got it couple weeks ago.
I think there is two explanations why it isn't available to your wife's phone, at least yet. Either its carrier locked or sim locked or whatever it is called in english. Or its the model with the older S3 processor.
How to tell which processor it has? There propably is better programs to look at it, but for example you can find that out with an app called OS Monitor. Now when you open it, go to misc tab and look at the "Scaling Range". If its 384000-1512000 then its the newer S4 model which should have the update available.
Now if the top clock speed is around 1700000 then its the older S3 version.

just checked, its the s4 version.
phone also has no lock of any kind no carrier and no sim lock. its totally free.
it just has a 1&1 (german internet provider) branding. but according to the seller it just has a different start screen and a couple of 1&1 specific apps (that can be uninstalled).

Ok, then I have no idea why it isnt working.
There is this, but I think its too much of an hassle for a update and requires you to root the phone.

I think you should take it to a service and tell them about the wifi issue. Maybe they can manually update it to the latest version to fix the wifi.

Radio doesn't have anything to do with WiFi.
