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.

Just suddenly yesterday my data connection started completely overridijg my wifi so that even with wifi on it still uses 3g/4g. Whats weird is that if no data is being used the cell radio seems to turn off and i only see the wifi icon. But when i try to use any internet related thing, wifi doesnt load anything, just stalls, then the cell radio turns back on and loads thru 4g. I know my wifi is working because it works if i turn on airplane mode before wifi it works. This is weird because ive had the g2x for 2 months and it just started happenning last night..
Also ive already deleted any myaccount related stuff.

I just started having this problem yesterday too. I thought I was the only one. I don't seem to be able to get anything via wifi.
I've been experiencing this from day one. It seems to fix itself quickly but I have to wonder how much data is being wasted on this.

happened again to me right now. I switched my access point to N....and now, G or 4G is always on. I did switch wifi off and on....and even turned the phone off....wonder if a N band is too confining for the phone...and it needs 4g help....
After flashing cm7 I no longer have this issue

Rooting and freezing the Tmobile apps fixed it for me
After reading the last few posts on this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044349&page=4&highlight=wifi+4g+tmobile+device), I tried the suggestion of freezing the Tmobile apps (Tmobile My Account, etc.), and it stopped this issue for me. I rooted and used AntTek App Manager to freeze these apps.
I've looked at other threads about this issue, and most have to do with installing a custom ROM, which I have not done, so I think this thread is appropriate.
Whenever I try to enable wifi on my triumph, it lists "Error" under the word Wifi in settings are will not scan for networks or even display a MAC address for the wifi device.
Im running a rooted stock triumph, I've tried rebooting, factory reset, stock nandroid backups, cleared /system, /data, davilk cache, Wefi, Wifi fixer, tried to start barnacle, all to no success.
Any help is appreciated. VM will not send me a replacement until they have refurbished models available, which could be weeks. I have weak data signal at home, so right now my triumph is mostly useless.
Turning wifi off, turning the screen off and on, rebooting has helped me but it seems like yours is a hardware issue.

Virgin Mobile has finally come through. I just got off the phone with a very kind associate and she was able to get a new model replacement shipped to me. Solved.
EDIT: for any who were following, I booted into Cyanogen's alpha build, which has confirmed wifi loading, and still experienced the same problem. It's safe to say this was a hardware issue. Now I just have to wait for my replacement.
Good to hear your gettin a new one, def a hardware issue

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.
I am currently using CM7. I was previously using leedroid. One night my internet suddenly stopped working. I was conected but i couldnt use it. So i switched roms thinking that was the problem but no change. The wifi works fine on my moms laptop and my dads iphone, but not on my inspire. If i disconnect from wifi, then reconnect it will work for a couple of minnutes then suddenly stop working. Any ideas on what is wrong? It has been doing this for days and its really annoying. Thanks
(Sorry if this is a duplicate topic i had to type this fast before the internet stopee working, and didnt have time to look)

Just curious. Even though other devices can sign on to router, have you tried resetting it. Sometimes they have an ip conflict and resetting refreshes the ip tables.
Yeah I would try resetting the router if you haven't already. I know I have had some connection issues before and it was caused by the router. My computer would work just fine, but my phone wouldn't connect.
It worked. Thanks soo much. I should have tried that in the first place.

The router is probably bad. I sell them at work and they go bad quite often.

I agree, they often fail. I use only linksys routers now and I still have to reset it every now and then.
Its not just at home.. its where ever i try to connect to wifi i realized recently. It is also a very new router
I'm having the same problem with mine. I'm running ARHD 6.3.3 never had the problem with Cyanogen. Is there anything I can do about the wicked not really connecting? I'm running Juice Defender, but I've been having this problem before I installed it.

I had same problem with cm7. Heres what I did - phone- wifi serttings, go to your router connection and press forget. Then I restarted phone, PC, router. Back to phone, wifi settings and re-entered router code, extra. Sounds odd but it worked for me

That happens a lot to me, too. I do believe it's the phone. My room is across the house from the WiFi modem, and my sister's is even further. Her phone catches the signal when mine doesn't. I would like to know the solution, too, if there is one.

Still not working. An app maybe?
I have tried everything.. nothing is working. Its not just at home its everywhere i go. Only thing i could think that would cause this is an app maybe? Is there an app that is known to stop the wifi from working? It has to be something like that. If its not i guess my phone just randomly broke.
So, I had this issue too. I bought and installed an new digitizer (again :/ ) but the tape/adhesive didn't get to me until 3 days after the digitizer. By time I got the tape/adhesive (I temporarily used electric tape on the 4 corners til then) I had gotten a ROM up and running. I took apart the phone, to put the tape/adhesive on the LCD (it was a replaced also) and on the digi. When I put the phone back together, the wifi would work, but no internet. I tried it with 3 different routers and the only fix was to reflash the ROM/a new ROM. This was like 3 days ago. Today I wanted to fiddle with the volume rocker to try and get my volume up working again.... well the same thing happened when I put the phone back together and booted up, wifi connects, but no internet, reflashing the ROM/a new ROM, fixed it. I think there's like something with the phone that 'detects' when it's taken apart, and like does something to the ROM. My Tapatalk accounts got logged out also. I did, both times, also try wiping caches to no avail. Also tried turning wifi off, forgetting the network, and then restarting.... to no avail. The ONLY fix for the wifi each time was to reflash the ROM Maybe someone else could try to recreate this, see if it's only me or not.
I finally found out how to fix it. It turns out I had wifi settings backed up from a diferent rom in titanium backup for some reason. I reverted back to my stock back up, cleared all my titanium backup stuff out, then re-flashed my rom. So thank you guys for all the help. Hope this helps you guys fix you problems.
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!

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.
