Hey
I am experiencing the following problem with my new Sensation (EU, unbranded, ROM 1.28.401.1, radio 10.42.9007):
From time to time it suddenly loses its signal and the only way to fix it is to disable and enable the radio (flight mode or testing-menu).
Any ideas how to fix/debug this?
I could get a new SIM card or flash the leaked RUU with the newer radio or get a new unit. How should I continue?

Search "Death Grip" and learn how to hold your phone to avoid this problem.
Stinks, but you can get around it.

It's certainly not the death grip problem I meant! I flashed the leaked RUU yesterday evening, until no the problem did not occur again.
Check the networks.. i select GSM only and it works better...

I will definitely try this later, because I been having this problem for a while now, and it only happens when at home!!! and nowhere else!!!
I'll let you know guys!!! wish me luck guyz, cuz if this dosn't work .. ama take to them chines around the corner, and pray they bring back safe!!! ...
I also have this problem and nothing seems to resolve it.
Its certainly not the death grip issue as it happens when the device is sat on a table and not moved, can change from 3 bars to no signal and back again.
I however dont have to disable the radios though as it just comes back on its own.
I always have mine set to GSM only due to the intermittant 3G in my area so its alos not that either.
This never used to happen to either my magic, Desire or Desire S, or any other phone ive had recently for that matter, very, very annoying.
Upgrade your RUU.
1.35.401.1 has fixed this for me - no sleep problems, WiFi connects a HELL of a lot faster, and temproot still works
(I have (and have had) no touchscreen issues)
I have exactly the same problem as dndxn
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App
Same problem here.
t-mobile US.
Also, it has happend on 2G and 4G.
Hoping for a update soon.
So far flashing the newest leaked RUU fixed it for me. But flashing also included a full wipe, so doing one might also help.
Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, .... it worked!!!!!!!!
I changed the Network setting to GSM only and now I have my network signal back ...!!!! full bars!!!
is there anyway to guide others having the same problem to this thread???
Thanks guys ....
Hello,
As soon as I tap the wi-fi icon, it turns to an "error" state.

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.
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

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.
Hi.
It stopped to work about 2 months ago, when I first time did S-off on my Sensation, and installed few ROM's. WiFix is not working, changing wpa_supplicant is not working becouse there is no "wpa_supplicant" in misc/wifi ... I have even changed motherboard and it's still this same problem... Any help ?
@And photos are always blurred on one side ...

Try Using INSERTCOIN Sense 5.xx If still problem Presisit u Got Big Problem

I too first s-offed my HTC Sensation a few months ago, and ended up with broken wifi. When attempting to turn on wifi, it cycles on/off twice, then will either say "Error, unable to search for networks," or simply, "Error." I've tried different roms, going back to the original RUU. My wife has an identical phone that I s-offed today, and her phone functions flawlessly. I checked everything and we have the same versions of all. Thanks in advance for any help!

You cant flash boot.img because of this ,but other kernel files may flashed , then finally u will get some problems related to these wifi,bluetooth drives. there is a post about this in dev section.please read it. you have to unlovk ur bootloader eith revolutionary..

Both of my phones were made s-off using the revolutionary method. After comparing values of software versions, baseband, etc of the phone with working WiFi vs the other, leave me with the only difference of "unknown" for WiFi Mac Address on the non-working phone. Thanks in advance!
Yeah, it's identical problem, i made s-off with revolutionary and it doesnt work for few months ... Even after changing motherboard ...
Well, I moved up to the 3.32 firmware, and Android Revolution HD 6.6.0 after reading that it had a good radio included. Unfortunately this did not solve my problem, however this ROM is fantastic! After tinkering about with the phone for half the day myself, my daughter tried something I hadn't though of... percussive maintenance. The darling little two year old grabbed my phone, and in a moment of triumph was off with great speed. She soon went face (no, phone) first into the ground. As device popped free, it was clear... while my screen may be broken now... she, among us all, finally got my WiFi working!
After fighting with it so long, I think I'd rather have it this way...
So what ? She thrown it to the ground and it started to work ?
hehe

I don't really want to try it on my phone ...
Yes indeed! It's been working since then. I checked, and it now has a value for the WiFi mac address, that it previously had not. I'm personally not really impressed with this as a fix (I'm calling it the "Sophia method," in honor of the little one. ), as I feel it could potentially come back at any time. I'm the type of person who likes concrete reasons for malfunctions like this, so this still kind of drives me nuts. I wish you luck with your phone as well, and certainly don't recommend the Sophia method! Thanks folks!
Maybe you had bent wifi antenna ?
WPA_Supplicant is in etc/Wifi, not misc/Wifi
Has anybody had any success in solving this issue, other than by the 'Sophia method'?
After attempting to S-OFF using the revolutionary (unsuccessfully, although I'm not sure if that's relevant), my WiFi is exhibiting exactly the same symptoms.
Tried everything, no luck. Maybe in a strange way, it's comforting that thousands of other people are having the same frustrations with their Sensation's wifi not working. Maybe I'm really not doing anything wrong and the wifi card in these phones just sucks.

I actually solved this issue on my friend's Sensation, which started exhibiting the issue after a failed attempt to S-OFF using revolutionary.io. In the end, I resorted to the wire trick to S-OFF, which let me then flash to Cyanogenmod 9, solving the issue.
Hello friends. I have the same problem but in my Sensation not working Wifi, Bluetooth and FM Radio. Has anyone of you and three unworkable and you managed to solve the problem. Thank you in advance and sorry for my bad english
Hi, for some reason my wife's U11 just decided to stop working - but only the sim and wifi. The no sim message shows and wifi won't turn on. I've reset network settings and have gone as far as a complete factory reset to no avail. It seems to me to be a hardware issue, so I'd like to know if there is anything else I might be able to try? I'm out of ideas, and if it truly is a hardware fault, then that kinda sucks, but oh well. It was a nice phone while it lasted...
I should add that bluetooth still works.

This is starting to get interesting. If you have any updates, please let us know.
I've managed to downgrade it now to Android 8.0. Same issue.
I don't want to believe that this is a hardware fault. But it really seems to be...
Maybe its the antenna? I don't know. MAybe I'm going to root it and flash a custom rom and Wifi repair app.
But It really think there's an hardware defect for now..

That's super interesting to me. Do you know when it happened to you? It really feels quite coincidental to have this happen to a few people.
It happened just 2-3 month ago. First I wasn't able to turn the phone on cause of the WLAN issue. Cause my phone space was locked I wasn't able to authorize myself cause of the disabled connection. After a few tries I put my Sim card inside the phone, and it connected and I could authorize and disable this memory lock. But afterwards it never worked again with my sim card. It seems like it wouldn't even recognize my Sim Card. No Pin question or symbol at the upper front of the display. Nothing. It's really werid and annoying, that something like this happens. I can't believe that it's hardware related.. How would it be possilbe that it's hardawrare related and whe have suddenly the same problems nearly the same time...
I should note that my wife has had her screen replaced before (she dropped the phone and it basically cracked all over). Have you replaced yours?
Yes I replaced mine too. But nevermind I had that issues before. My phone ran all well with cracked screen and one day I had that issues... So I changed my screen in the hope it would fix it.

I'm wondering if it will be a more widespread problem. I'm going to try and get in touch with HTC and see what they have to say. Will update if I hear back from them.
Okay, that would be great. But I don't have high expectations that they'll answer. Due to the fact that they have stopped there smartphone section for now and no more official updates and stuff like that.
But let's hope die at least...
I have exactly the same issue. It happened yesterday. It was just there, sitting on my desk, one minute it was working and I was checking my e-mail, the next one it was not. The phone now detects no SIM card and if I try to enable wi-fi it just hangs in "enabling" status for some time until it gives up and disables it again. I am not 100% sure, but I think I also had a short time in which wifi was no longer working and the SIM connection still was, I remember seeing the 4G logo and maybe I even browsed the internet for a short while. By the way, I have not replaced my screen. Now I know that I can probably spare myself the hassle of doing a hard reset.
It is really suspicious that this weird problem is happening to several people within a short time frame. It would be cool to hear if HTC has anything to say, but I am also not expecting anything from them now, especially for a phone which is out of warranty.
In case it can help, as the author reported, bluetooth still works and it is possible to connect the phone to the internet using bluetooth tethering on another phone (the good old M8 helped here ). This doesn't solve the issue, but is much better than nothing, most apps will work and it is easier to make a controlled migration to another phone.
Any news here?
Same issue here!!! Help!!!

I have the same issue with a U11+ bought in Germany (I know, other model but hey). I have tried using the other sim slot and using another (definitely working) sim. WiFi doesn't work either. My phone has no visible damage (not even scratches) and no parts were replaced. I can't remember it ever getting wet either. For me it stopped working on 2. of September.
Sorry guys. HTC were really slack at getting back to me, and unfortunately they want me to send the phone in to get it inspected. I know it's out of warranty and since my wife is well and truly into her Huawei P30, this phone is unfortunately going to just have to remain this way. Sorry for not having any better info.
The same issue I am facing now. No SIM CARD Detected and WiFi isn't connecting.
What things I have tried doing so far?
1.) Factory Reset - 3 times.
2.) TWRP Based RUU Restores ( 2 possible versions tried )
3.) Tried Restoring zip based restore
4.) Did a Full Internal + External SD Card Wipe and then flashed RUU.
5.) Restored stock ROM.
Nothing is working at all.
Now, Trying to do S-OFF but as the phone itself is not booting into a normal OS, I cannot install Sunshine app and proceed. Help needed, at least in getting the OS to work.
Thank You.

It seems there's no way without replacing hardware to fix it. But if we don't know what causes this error we cannot proceed.
I tried the same things as you did. Also unlocked bootloader. My device is starting but I cannot proceed to the main menue cause of no internet connection. I'd love to try a custom rom. That's the only thing missing.
Also if the phone is rooted there are WIFI Error fixing apps and check.
I have bought myself a OnePlus 7T pro MClaren edition and I'm really happy with it. But also I don't want to accept that the htc just died from nothing.
Same issue here, happend a few months ago and after a week the phone started working. Now again no SIM detected and wifi won't connect.
