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 .....

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.
Ive been having problems with my data for a while. My conclusion is its not any roms or radios ive used, its the phone. T-mobile thinks the same thing. After seeing bruce's CM10 thread clogged up with posts about it i figured we could discuss it here.
A little more explanation would help. Problems with data is vague. Specifically, what about your data connection is considered a problem ie is it not connecting? Is it disconnecting? Do you only get 3G or 4G

I used to have data issues all the time with CM9 & CM10. Sometimes reflashing the ROM would help, but it got to the point where I had to flash a Sense ROM to get my data working and then flash CM again. That would work for a few days, but then my data would start cutting in and out again, usually after turning off WiFi. I finally formatted my SD card and have been free of data issues for over a week now.
It seems that perhaps some file or other from Sense ROMs that is left on the SD card is causing a conflict with AOSP and/or T-Mobile's APNs.

---------- Post added at 10:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 PM ----------
i just formated my sd deleted everything possible and flash rom + gapps.
still getting the data hanging issues.
the service is shown with signal flashing h then it will go off and drop its connection why =[!!!
it works when i flash a sense rom but not bruce's rom!
I just did a quick format. I forget to mention it in my previous post, but I also changed my radio and ril from the latest ones to the official T-Mobile ones - 11.69A.3504.00U_11.23.3504.07_M2 and 4.0.0024HMQ.

what was your problem with your service?
and could you provide those links please?
threw the OP up this morning before an interview just to get people to shut up in bruce's thread about it. most people with issues that sound similar to mine dont seem as bad. basically, i just have terrible service. even in places where i shouldnt. my network when i get to either 3g or H just bounces between the two. even the one time i actually got full bars of 3g it just kept bouncing to H and then bouncing back. if i have two bars of edge in my livingroom and try to send a text, itll just drop the service completely. if someone makes a call to me and im on 2 bars or less of any network it will just drop the network completely. happened once i moved from vegas to phoenix, flashed every ril/radio combination i could find. every one is the same. talked to other users in close proximity to me with a sensation and they said they get great service everywhere. happens on every rom as well. messed with APN settings, went to the store and got a new sim card. everything. Like i said, im certain my issues are worse than everyone elses but itd be interesting to see what different groups of people are experiencing with data issues to see if its something with our phones.
BTW - tmo at the store said "buy a new phone" AWESOME customer service i must say.

After a few days, my data would just stop working. I would have 3 or 4 bars but the 4g or 3g icon would appear for a second and then disappear over and over.
I found the radio and ril in this thread

I had this exact same problem on cm9. I've had to take refuge in viper's sense 4 rom until I could figure out what caused it. I was able to fix it once before by flashing a combo of roms and radios. Then it happened again and just stayed on viper as it doesn't reoccur on a sense rom.
Note: This happened to me before cm10 was even developed. I was running AOKP at the time. It also happened on a backup that was 2 weeks old before the problem first happened so its not entirely rom related.

this is what im saying. no combination of flashing anything fixes mine so just be glad you guys can still fix yours i guess. the tmo guy was like "sometimes things just break... so you should sign up for a new contract and buy a new phone" oh, and surprise, i had a 12 month warranty on the phone of course. goes bad at 12.5 months

So this sounds just like my issue. I've been running on BADOSP's ROM which is based on AOKP M6 for the past week or more with zero issues with data connectivity. Never a problem getting 3G/H where I was supposed to. I flashed CM9 last night to check it out and decided against it and reverted to my backup. I was running fine through the night on my backup but then set it in airport mode last night, came out of it and flashed a basic AOKP install for fun this morning. After that I can't get a data connection to stick on any AOSP type ROM. Not in CM9, not in AOKP, I've cleared/formated EVERYTHING went to backups of systems that used to work and now don't, nothing. Finally, I had a nandroid from Vipers Sense4 rom as well and it was basically exactly the same - seeking refuge for a working system in the mean time.
Seems no matter what now I cannot make an AOSP ROM work but I'm at least functional in a Sense 4 ROM. I would love to know what happened if anybody figures it out.

So in case anybody else finds this. I was having no problems in sense based roms it seems and only AOSP roms fail to establish a data connection. I had read a few posts in different places about wiping the SD Card but I didn't want to do that for nothing. So I restored a nandroid of an AOKP ROM and then selected to power off from EXT4 instead of rebooting. I then popped out my SD Card and powered on. It took a minute for the data to establish but it worked. I put the SD Card back in and it kept working. I have rebooted since then and it STILL works. I'm not sure what prompts the problem but ultimately this solved it for me. Been running 24 hours now with no issues. Hope this helps somebody else.

Unfortunately, this worked for a day and a half. This morning it suddenly started doing what it was doing again. Haven't had any time to troubleshoot or try anything as I'm about to be traveling so I had to revert to Viper's Sense ROM again.
I'm also having the same problem. It just started a couple of days ago when I was running CM9. I figured a wipe and flash would fix it. I am now on CM10 and still having the same problem. Anyone have a solution?
I just want to first thank everyone who worked on getting cyanogenmod to work on the jellybean boot loader. There is a problem that i am seeing though through the threads that wifi seems to not turn on. Unfortunately i have the same problem, i have had it for both the modified version on the 30th and still have it on the official version out the 31st. Has anyone else had this problem or even any vague idea as to the problem causing?
Wish I was posting with help I just wanted to cosign that I've also been going through the same thing from yesterday's unofficial to today's rom with turning the wifi on and having the tablet freeze. Hoping it can be worked out looking forward to using cm10 as soon as possible
I can confirm that i am still having the same wifi issues with the 11-01 official version.
I also had wifi issues initially, disable the wifi sleep policy and reboot, it would work afterwards.

for what it's worth I tried this but after the reboot I still ended up with the same problem, I think I'll just stick with cleanrom for now it's been running more than well enough
I updated to 11-2 and still no fix but I think I have come across something. I don't know if it just me but for some reason the wifi region in advanced is set to Europe. I try to switch it to US but never seems to save it. Am I the only one?

I don't have the issue. I have done this twice for each rom stock, cleanrom, jb hydro and I have wifi and gps. I'm using Twrp.
wipe cache, Dalvik, Factory Reset, System ( you must flash a rom now ) so be absolutely sure you have one available.
flash cm10
reboot
boot recovery
flash gapps
reboot
This didn't fail in a total of six tries. GPS is slow and not many sats but it does work.
Once I was stuck on bootanimation. I forced power down by holding power till screen went black. Power up and booted properly.
I miss spoke on the above when I listed gps - checking my notes and reflashing, gps does not work on nightly for me; it does work on the other cm10 jb for me. Sorry! Wifi does work on both.
DANG!! As of 11/3 version, I still have wifi issues. I have flashed back when there was no CM10 and have done exactly above and still cant get no reception. I still think that the region in advanced settings have something to do with it.

I'm sorry to hear that. I had hoped the problem was the difference in the way we handled wiping and flashing. I don't understand why my unit works and yours doesn't. I don't remember anything else I did that may have made a difference but I'll download 11-3 and try again.
I'll report with that status in a bit.:good:
I was on cleanrom, flashed 11-3 as above and have wifi. I wish we knew how to isolate this problem, I'll do some searching and look at some of my logs and dmesg. There must be an answer why some units work and others don't.
When you try to turn wifi on does it turn on and stay turned on or does it refuse to turn on?
I checked my region settings and they were set Europe, I changed to US just for fun but no difference in use. I have read in the US they are restricted to channels 1 - 11 instead of 1 - 14, maybe that is one of the reasons for that option.
I was on cleanrom 2.5 before also. Had no problems with it but wanted to see if CM10 was any better. What happens is that after i flash CM10, when you first start a tablet from scratch, it will search for wifi and say in the middle of the screen "Turning wifi on" and will stay that way. So i eventually have to skip it to go on to the Home screen. When I go back later in settings to wifi, says the same thing and sometimes crashes. When I go back to clean rom or original stock, have no problems.

I can't emulate that on my unit. Have you tried the cm10 by timmytim? If you need cm10 it may be an option. It is built on the cm10 you are trying to use but with some modifications.
I'm also waiting on the nightlies, in my case I'm waiting on gps.:good:

One last shot, it will only take 5 minutes and is easy.
Power off
Remove external sdcard
Remove from dock
Power on
I now updated from twrp 2.2.2 to 2.3.1 and tried BOTH 11/5 AND timmytim versions and still no luck. Do you think i need to try clockworkmod? I don't think that would make a difference.

No, I'm afraid not.
The last thing I can think of that could be different between our situations is your wifi.
I must begin by telling you my wifi router is an antique so I don't have some of the newer features.
This is a fishing trip. Take the little info I provide and try to use it to investigate your situation.
My router provides a table where I can list mac addresses of units I have programmed and only these are allowed access, even if they have the correct password, etc.
Some of the newer units have a button that automatically looks for units and self programs the router security features and any change made since the button was last pressed. If you have such then try to sync your unit again with cm10, otherwise look carefully through your router security options and see if anything stands out that may be different than with stock rom.
I know mac addresses and such are factory programmed but they can be spoofed and on units other than asus do sometimes change with rom.
For instance if I go to google play my TF300 shows as two different unit names.
Asus ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T
Asus Transformer Pad TF300T
That is enough difference to possibly cause your router to deny access.
None of this may apply but it is worth a try.
Good Luck!
wifi issues too
I am having same problem. tried 11-06 nightly and wifi will not even turn on. Tried other nightlies, same deal. Can't understand why not happening to all units. If anyone figures it out, let us know. I really want to try CM10! I think this is being discussed on the developers forum on the CM10 for JB thread as well.

11/06 and 11/07 are both broken for me as well. I saw a post by untermensch ( I think ) in the nightly thread where he was pushing some of his work for use in cm10. Maybe in a day or two everyone will have wifi.
I have read you can flash his kernel after setting up cm10 and get wifi. I have not tried that and if a fix comes soon I probably won't.
What I have done is flash his TF300T kernel over CleanRom and it is faster and smoother. I am not over clocking, using balanced mode.
Sorry I don't have any other thoughts at this time.
Good Luck to us all!

I tried the last couple nightlies and still no wifi capability. Tried a rom based on CM10, still a no go. SO, using cleanROM for now, it seems to work very well for me. I wonder why CM10 works for some and not others? Is there a difference in the hardware from unit to unit?
Wifi works again on nightlies 11/09
I still don't have gps.
LUCKY!!!! I read the post and now on 11/9 and still the same problem. I do want to ask a question though to all that do have the problem. Were you on cleanrom before trying CM10? Does this have anything to do with cleankernel?

I know you asked for those that didn't work but.
Just for more info and being fair to cleanrom.
I was on cleanrom when I flashed 11/09 and now I'm back on cleanrom till I see a size change on nightlies.
Hi I wanted to try Cm10 and data kept blinking a on and off. I tried get ril to see if it would help the situation. No joy. I am running 3.33 firmweare and I am s off. I ended up matching the radio with different ril from xda. Result was no data at all. I restored a backup and used get ril to match my current radio and I have signal again. However I would really like to run Cm10. Is there any suggestions to help with this problem. I've never had any data problems before? Can someone suggest a possible fix for this issue? I appreciate your input.
try flashing it again, this happened to me about a week or two ago and appears to be common with AOSP (the reason for this, I have no idea) but yeah if you absolutely need data, just restore a backup for about an hour or two
Here is everything there is to know about this problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1873374
The short version is...there's no permanent fix yet. It will fix itself in a few hours. But it might come back.
This problem is getting much less common on CM10 over the last 6 weeks or so. Prior to that it was a VERY common issue. It could be a combination of other problems in the AOSP framework that cause instability and T Mobile refarming their network nationwide.
Thank you for the answers ! That's good to know! I am Tmobile so yes the incompatibility makes since. I will give it another try and see how it fares. If I still get the issue, I'll just restore my nandroid. Again thank you.

Restoring your nandroid won't fix it. The problem has something to do with how the data network authenticates your device and how that authentication is done with the CM Framework.
The variable (whatever is changing so that this is not occuring 100% of the time for 100% of t mobile users) is on the T Mobile network side. So simply switching back to your nandroid backup won't fix it even though everything was working fine with that backup. Both your nandroid and the updated version of the ROM have the same flaw that can provide that unstable data connection. And whatever T Mobile is doing that is causing that flaw to show will occur on every AOSP rom with an ICS or JB base.
Switching to your nandriod, switching to CM9, AOKP, Opensensation 1 or 2, etc etc etc...none of it will make the problem go away. Your best bet is to turn data off for a few hours and try later. Just ride it out until the network is no longer creating that data instability.
Just for information purposes the developer of the basic CM10 and OpenSensation 2, Bruce, thinks that the problem has something to do with the T Mobile network not being able to differentiate between it's MMS network and it's Data network. Those two operate on the same bands and are very similar, but there's some subtle difference in them so the phone knows the difference between and incoming MMS and an incoming data transmission. Bruce has done some work to try and help that. Some people saw the problem stop cold and other people have seen it greatly reduced. That's not confirmed that that's the issue and the improvement may be coincidental. With T Mobile refarming it's network city by city they may be gradually changing changing the way that's done and inadvertently fixing the problem.
How bout a Sense ROM? I flashed ARHD when I had this problem and had instant data
Sent from my HTC Sensation
Thank you both. And thanks for the explanation. I suppose I got lucky that my backup did restore my data after using get ril again it was stronger. I did also hear T-Mobile is having tower problems or something like that. I'm wondering if that had something to do with it also. Maybe I'll give sense a try again. Too bad I was really hoping to give Cm10 a go. But I do need data. Again, thank you for your help!

We cant blame T-Mobile for this issue when we can clearly see it occurring ONLY on a specific handful of Sensation ROMs.
I've gone from a solid data connection on the stock Sense directly to a very unstable blinking data on bruce's CM10/Kang and OpenSensation 2 within minutes. Not a coincidence. All the while, my T-Mobile CM10 Nexus One sat next to me without an issue. Over the next day my gf complained about her Sensation's lack of data and still my Nexus One is fine.
Is being S-ON to blame?
idk, I guess I'll try the Android Revolution HD ROM next.

What build date of Bruce's ROM did you use? This was fixed about 2 months ago for most people.
When you downloaded the ROM, did you get the first one on the list?

I just flashed last weekend. I used the latest builds from http://goo.im/devs/bruce2728
This one: cm-10-20130109-bruce2728-pyramid.zip (data blinking on boot)
Then this one: OpenSensation2-20121123-pyramid.zip (did not fix) (so I followed it with OTA Dec 3 - did not fix)
My Method (coming from Official ICS Sense w/ hboot 1.27 on T-Mobile Sensation 4G):
HTCDev unlocked
left S-ON
flashed latest CWM then did a "wipe data/factory reset"
extracted boot.img from cm-10-20130109-bruce2728-pyramid.zip and flashed it via fastboot (necessary for S-ON)
flashed cm-10-20130109-bruce2728-pyramid.zip via CWM
switched recovery to latest 4EXT with SmartFlash enabled
flashed OpenSensation2-20121123-pyramid.zip over CM10 (no wipe)
I try to keep up with latest os, but 4.3 has me baffled. The first time I tried to install 4.3 was on Jellybam 10.2. I followed the instructions to the tee, but it didn't work. All 4.3 roms I've loaded I've never had a signal. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Now that all of the 4.3 roms have the custom recovery already on the rom, it still doesn't work. I have no signal. I thought about unrooting my sg3 and starting over, but that is a pain. So I'm basically stuck with 4.2.2. If anyone has anything to say about my problem please do so. Thanks

I'll second that. Was running cleanrom 7.0, thought I'd fool around with 4.3 Flashed a couple of different ROMS, and none worked. Restored my backup of Cleanrom, and still no signal. It shows 4 bars, can receive an occasional text, but trying to text or make a call the signal drops away. Help!

when you flash, co you clean flash? and what recovery are you using? This info would help in getting your questions answered.
i've been running Mastamoon's unofficial 10.2 (Android 4.3) nightlies (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2385652), and regularly flash back and forth between TW Roms as well and have never had any real data problems. sure, drops data every once in a great while, but Mastamoon puts a lot of work into cleaning up issues.
one thing: IF you flash, and you don't have data, did you wait more than a couple of minutes? Sometimes it takes a while on first flashes. Also, did you check what your status said? (menu >system settings >about phone >status? Also, check to insure your mobile network is set up correctly (menu >system settings >more > mobile network settings) and check your CDMA subscription is set to RUIM/SIM and NOT NV, and network mode is set to LTE/CDMA/EvDo sometimes during a bad flash, these can get hosed up.
like i said, i run Masta's unofficial version, and go in and out of data areas (no data in the subway tunnels) and it always goes right back.
give that a try, and if still having problems, add more information befor just saying "i don't get any data with any 4.3 rom

Good afternoon, and thanks for your help.
I wish I could give you more information, but I broke one of my cardinal rules about messing with my phone and didn't take notes. Suffice it to say I was trying a couple of different 4.3 ROMS in the forums, as well as the two available MIUI roms that were in there. I use TWRP.
I did wait quite a while before declaring no data, it has actually been a couple of days. It does show I have a signal, and I can get texts that are sent to me. When my wife tries to call my phone it goes right to voice mail, even when it does say I have a signal (4G, full bars). I also cannot send a text, it immediately goes to 'failed message'.
I tried setting my phone back to LTE/CDMA/EvDo, but I don't see an option for CDMA subscription. I wonder if I accidentally tried a Global ROM instead? All I am really looking for is some 4.2 love, I like what my daughters Nexus 4 has for lock screen widgets, and my Cleanrom installation is acting a little wonky now and again, so thought it was time to flash something new. Silly rabbit, trix are for kids.
Thanks again. Thinking of flashing a stock ROM and starting over. Any thoughts?

follow my last post; Mastamoon has his version of CM10.2 (4.3) running great, and is very quick at answers (during the week that is) as well a couple of other DEVs that follow that tread are always willing to offer help. AND he has a download app, that once you install will tell you when there is an update, give you a direct link to it, and after downloading, will check the MD5 to insure a good download.
providing you are on VZW that is.
I actually had this problem coming from hyper drive to dirty Unicorn. But i started out on the Droid X back in the day so I was used to it. While I don't know if this really works but it worked for me is do *22899 then *228# ( so the keyboard pops up ) i did it a few times also i turned it off the cell service and turned it back on using the toggle. While i dont know if that will do it it worked for me. I know LTE dont need do that because of the sim but it does for me in the hiccup.
A question i have that i cant post in the Dev Fourm because of lack of post. I been part of XDA for long time just never posted. But I'm running Dirty Unicorn and theres a option for fast charge but it does nothing. I've used this feature before and makes my car charger work better and home charging and my battery sucks now but does anyone know how to get it working? I've tried terminal did SU and FFC but nothing.
I'm running twrp recovery. I'm asuming the latetest version. And i do let it settle for a while. As for the settings you mentioned, everything is normal,and as it should be. The imei,meid, ect. Is normal. Thanks for the input.
I've fixed this by going full ODIN, putting a stock image back on, and following the instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2066133 Seems to be working, it is no longer on roaming.

When I tried 4.2 and turned off data it completely killed my signal. None of my recoveries of 4.1.2 had signal. Flashing back to stock fixed the signal problem.
Hellfire and Dirty Unicorns have worked great for me since going to 4.3 and 4.3.1. I use cwm touch recovery but idk how much of an effect recovery has with flashing a rom successfully.
But this tool makes rooting, unlocking the bootloader, and recovery very simple and easy. (but I would flash the latest recovery after using the tool just in case)

I believe fast charge is kernel related and not because of a rom. I haven't ever used fast charge but all the kernel threads always list fast charge as a feature. But which DU build are you running?
