I have problems with my wifi...it doesn't work anymore and whatever I seem to do, follow advices from other threads and so on, it just won't work. I've flashed several ROM's, both CM9 based ROM's and other (VI, HyperNonSense, OrDroid, ARHD...) Sometimes it finds different networks but after a while it just displays "Error".
Does anybody has any tip for what I can do? Is there someway I can test my phone to see if it's a hardware failure?

Hey guys, I've been having a problem with the wifi on my universal for awhile, it just won't turn on, antenna stays off, no scanning, it's just off.
Going into the Wireless lan settings in the control panel "Wireless LAN OFF" is displayed, click "Turn on WLAN" it thinks for a few moments then returns to off with nothing changed.
Does anyone know if this is fixable? It doesn't appera to be a software issue, as it has continued on 3 diffreent ROMs... so i'm not sure how to proceed

hi @ all
this tread is a bit "past" but now i got the problem mentioned by balur.
i actually use maxstegis rom(5.2), but i also tried it with te shipped one from t-mobile.
i used google and the forum search, but i was not able to find a solution. i hope smb. can help me, because i need the wifi tomorrow!
1) Perhaps some of these ROMs are based on others that have the same problem.
solution: choose another ROM. Tomal8.2, minhanhtran, nncuong are ROMs that I vouch for that work on my maching with no WIFI problems
2) Perhaps your radio is not good
solution: try flashing another radio. I use 1.18, but many say 1.15 is the most stable. I have had problems with neither - but it may be worth reflashing your radio to make sure it is ok and stable.
Personally, I think if your original t-mobile ROM doesn't work, then you have problems with phone hardware. First I'd check other things can connect to you WLAN, to make sure it's definately the phone that's not good - or perhaps try and connect to a friends WLAN.

how can connect to a friends wlan? Quote(Balur): "returns to off with nothing changed." i cant even turn it on!
but thanks for your help!!!
I've the same problem with Tomal's 8.2. An other rooms I've tried.
The only thing I did was to change my 2Gb SD to a 4Gb HDSD
I experienced automatical turning off WiFi on Tomal 8.2 when i installed some tweaks - one to edit system settings and speed up Uni, second to disallow applications turn on GPRS - only manual turn on.
I'm not sure which of them was causing it .... don't you have something like that installed?
I'll try to find exact names of them when I'll have a while ...
Yes I had the XCPU Scalar. But now, even if I install an Original Shipped ROM, I can't turn on the wifi. I think that something is swiched off permanently, but I don't know what nor how.
All this time that I have been flashing ROMs, I have noticed that on Some ROMs GPS fixes like a charm without even modifying any setting in the ROM(gps.cong and gpssetup). Whereas on some ROMs, no matter what you do, gettin a fix is a pain.
I read somewhere that maybe if we flash only the modem(inside the tar) of the ROM in which we got the fix properly, then it might solve the issue.
What do you people have a say?
okay.. no replies.
GPS questions are apparently not very often get solved
I would try it but i want confirmation of a dev if this is possible before i do something wrong with my phone
I have sensation 4g,
I experienced some problems on the device.
The first problem is most severe and the device can not connect to WIFI, I use the WIFI 3.33 versions just goes on and off.
And I use the WIFI versions 3.32 stuck on turning on. Tried it all!
I exchanged dozens of Rom's changed kernels and radio files.
And nothing helped!
I searched the forum here Related topics but none of the methods did not help me.
And the second problem - my machine vibration is not working properly it works after a few seconds of work such as the vibration of the keyboard is simply stops working.
I have not seen reference to this problem on the forum but I was hoping that someone has experienced this problem and could tell me the reason and solution.
Thanking you in advance!

Hi
I picked up a t959w off craigslist. The guys said he couldn't connect to wifi or anything, but I guessed he just screwed something up. However, after flashing AOKP or CM9 I can't get any data, wifi etc..
Is there any way of diagnosing this?
Thanks in advance for the advice.

First goto, setting, about phone, what does it says for baseband? Sometimes too network drivers don't flash fully, trying flashing something like Hefe's 0.81 kernel and flash it twice if needed.
Baseband is T959WUQLB6. I'll try hefe.
Ok. There is some command to get logs of the wifi and what its trying to do, but I can't recall them off hand, but if reflashing a new kernel, then reflashing again doesn't do it, might be hardware somehow. You did get the phone with capacative buttons DOA, so who knows what this person did to the poor phone. lol. I assume calling/messaging works with the modem flashed.
sup xda..
I've been experiencing a fault which I couldn't find on any other threads, but if I'm missing it please direct me to it.
First thing's first... I've been running CM10 stable, tried the default radio and various others.
So this is what happens - turn on navigation or maps, and it'll work for a moment, give me directions and locate me. 10-15seconds later, my position on the map has frozen and "GPS signal lost" is muttered. Reception on 4G and any network connection is lost as well. It'll stay out of action for about a minute, then pick it up again, and the whole failure starts over.
As mentioned ive tried various radios, the symptoms are the same.
I've tried a clean slate of CM10, the various nightlies etc to no avail, same problem.
Today I tried RebelROM (02122013.. android 4.1.1) - no issues! So I ask...
Has anyone else had this problem? Why might I be experiencing this on CM and not another ROM?
thanks
No one huh . Oh well I guess I'm one in a million.
