[Q] Wifi problems

HI, i'm having serious problem with my sensation . i'm running an android revolution hd gingerbread, using original radio. After flashing some roms , i realized my wifi dont work anymore. Thought it was beacuse of the new rom so re flashed last rom , but my wifi still dont work. Sometimes they turn on trying to search a network but after few sec the turn off again. What shall i do?

silly question but i had the same problem with a new router and it was a mistype of the password (0-o,i-1,i-I) and so on caps can be a problem

I had this same problem , but it has been solved by itself. I couldnt turn on my wifi, then one day it started to work. But when I went to Slovakia ( skiing trip ) one week ago, it stopped working again. After few wipes and re-installs it shew earlier saved networks and one new which i couldnt connect to. I had a lot of ROM's and no one works. And I have some problems with camera focus too. After installing some software i cant get focus on camera.

this is usually due to the wifi module in the kernel not working as it should so my suggestion would be to flash a different kernel (bricked or faux) and it should work again

Have you tried to restore the stock ROM?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529941

I agree I would recommend flashing the full ruu to take you back to stock Rom I did the same thing to get rid of my problem and flashing the full ruu did the trick I'm now s off Revolutionary style and flash 4ext custom recovery and su file and custom Rom the correct way

Hi,
I believe THIS PATCH will restore your hboot to 1.27 and not "LOCKED"
Silly question,did you try rebooting your router?

EDIT: it says -Revolutinary- and HBOOT is 1.27.1100 Thanks!
router works, coz we are using several phones and notebook @home...
I am afraid the worse scenario...burned chip or motherboard.
Or maybe if i get back to S-ON, unroot and restore complete stock...?

Hi,
The other thing worth considering are the 2 gold pins inside the phone,just above the camera lens.
GENTLY lift them to make a better contact.

I am afraid, even this is not working. Pins definetly have some resistance and resting to its place. :-/ when i return from vacation, i´ll take my precious Sensation XE to a doctor, he will know perhaps.

I have this problem too. I've been using ViperS 1.1.0 for a few weeks without any wifi problem. Yesterday, the wifi was working like normal then in the evening I flashed HyperNonsense 3.3 just to try it. Didn't like it, so I restored nandroid of my ViperS, then flashed yank555's faux123 kernel v2.52. I only realised wifi is not working today morning. It just shows "Turning On", but nothing happens. Could it be kernel issue? Previously i was using yank555 v1.9 without any issue thoguh.

i also have the same problem with the wi fi turning on for 10 mins then it shows error
mine came with the initial ics ota update a very common problem i see on the net not only wifi but bluue tooth also not work
i installed the latest ota a week or so ago which cured a few bugs but still no wifi or bluetooth
so.... i did jb s offf , root etc installed CM9 this fixed the blue tooth and made the screen move reactive and smooth this is one cool ROM BUT still no wifi
any and all suggestions welcome but please consider i am a noob http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/confused.gif and may need a few signposts
thanks in advance

I honestly don´t know, i thought, wifi is (almost)only kernel related, but now i see, that it is not :/ It is almost exactly my problem, i was using ViperS and changed kernel...but it didn´t suit me, so i restored the previous one...than i woke up and wifi is gone i cant solve it for now, i don´t have any freetime at this moment for making full stock condition.
i have tested stock rom with stock kernel, with some other HBOOT but still the same.

Your wifi stops working through an official update? You should claim it! it is not your fault...for me, everything works, except thing about wifi like tethering etc., thats a serious problem, even reflasing the whole phone (rom, radio, hboot, kernel) doesn't help :/
I had Xperia Arc before Sensation XE and reflash always helps, no matter what happens.

I thing, if you changed rom, kernel etc. and wifi is still not working, another rom will be no help i am afraid but take your chances! it is not working for me. I can flash any ROM, any Kernel and the result is the same...

All I had to do was pull that file out from the directory and turn on wifi and *poof* it worked again. When I turned wifi on it created a new file and everything has been great so far this afternoon.
In case anyone wants to give it a shot who is having wifi issues you can find the wpa_supplicant.conf file in /data/misc/wifi/ directory on your phone. Simply cut/rename the file and put it somewhere else. If you have wifi passwords you want to save, you can open the original file using a text editor and copy the settings over to the new file.
I believe the cause of my issue was actually Titanium Backup. Looking at the last time it backed up my wifi settings was back when I wasn't running ICS yet. Yesterday I did restore an app using it and must have accidentally restored that old backup. Their formats are different from Gingerbread to ICS apparently and it was causing errors.
i found this on another post dont know if it will help but it could be the problem with the ota update from gb to ics
now the silly noob question how do you access the directory ????http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/icons/advanced/sign.png
i got into the directory but it doesnt seem to work in another thread someone got it to work with a virtuous rom
ill try that on thr weekend
enjoy your vacation

hmmm thats iteresting, but if you do full-wipe and flash some rom and kernel, these files are rewriten...but because i am curious i tried it and!!! it is not working for me :-/
And how to get into this directory?Simply... download dome file manager from Play Market(i lika Total Commander), but you can use whatever you like, set in options "root function everywhere" and allow superuser. than you can go in any directory and read/write/change
EDIT: ou, now a see whole post, ignore my instruction i am mega-sleepy

WIFI Problem

Hey people..
I have a little problem with my WiFi conection.
I have reairep my Sensation thanks to ganeshp (Thanks man!). I had to install a ROM ´cuase we couldn´t find the original one for Sensation Vodafone in Spain...I´ve installed virtuous_inquisition-v4.0.2 wich is quite good. But I can´t acces to Wi-Fi (problem I have since I installed IceCream).
Ganehp says that probably is a Hardware problem...there´s anyway to check it, or repair my WiFi conection
I ´ve flashes my boot.img as a solution people says works, reflash the ROM with and withour any wipe,...
Thanks all

If your wifi manager shows the network for a couple of seconds and then disapears use wifixmanager. Its an apk which should fix that problem upon installing the fix but requires root. If the wifi signal doesnt catch at all flash a different kernel probably sebastians kernel and it should start working. The last resort is to use another rom. I had a problem where the wifi wouldnt catch at all so using lightning 2.0 rom with sense 4.0 now with sebastian kernel. works like a charm

[Q] Sensation - "Wifi Error" or "Wifi Turning on" but nothing happens....

[Q] Sensation - "Wifi Error" or "Wifi Turning on" but nothing happens....
I am a newbie ... but i have already installed several roms , firmware, kernels etc....so i think i get the basics.
I downloaded from XDA ... and installed tha CyanogenMod 10 Jellybean 4.1.2.
Now i face this WIFI error...
CASE 1 (95%)
When i start the phone everything seems to be ok, i click on Wifi, and it says (TURNING ON) but it never turns on or OFF for that matter, and it stays like this infinatelly.
CASE 2 (5%)
When i put the phone on charge durring the night, i look at it in the morning and WIFI works fine, but after say 30 min ... its OFF and then we go back to CASE 1.
I googled this a lot.... tried many sollutions like, Wifix, deleting the supplicant file, flashing the Boot.img again etc. but nothing...
ANY IDEAS ????
When i go into bootloader i see the following info :
-Revolutionary-
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.12.100
RADIO-11.24A.3504.31_M
OpenADSP-V05.6.0.2226.00.0418

you are S-OFF.you do not need smrtflash with S-OFF
give it a try again but this time disable smartflash
smartflash it is only for S-ON devices

Hi I was running jelly bean also and my Wi-Fi wasn't connecting. I reflashed my rom WITHOUT smart flash because we are S off. I wiped cash, wiped dalvik cash, wiped data factory reset, then tired again and my Wi-Fi connected! You might try this. It worked for me. If not try the apk wifix.you can find it in Android theme and app I believe. See if those two things help. Best wishes.

Just so everyone that want to help knows my SANSATION story...
My phone was Vodafone Branded
The guy i bought it from rooted it ... and used Elegancia Rom.
Then i installed the newer version and then again it worked fine.
2 months ago i installed revolution 6.8.0 and flashed the new firmware 3.33 as i remember with (hboot_8x60_1.27.1100_20120113_signedbyaa.nb0)
....
6-7 days ago the wifi-problem appeared out of the blue.
AND THEN I STARTED GOOGLING IT... INSTALLED VARIOUS ROMS, Revolution 6.8.0 again, Elegancia Sense_4.1_V2.2.0, Clockworkmod 10, and so on but no luck.
I tried Wifix , no luck
I tried deleting the supplicant file form data/misc/wifi ..... but no luck
I reinstalled the firmware file PG58IMG and tried some more... BUT STILL NO LUCK,
Phone works ...
BLUETOOTH works
APN works
WIFI - Doesn't work SO .... WIFI HOTSPOT doesn't work also ..
ANY IDEAS ANYONE ???

When using WIFIX ... and press *#94349# + call ... i get the error -> Connection problem or invalid MMI code
So no luck there either

Because it is simillar topic, I just want to add my +1 to problem with wifi on Bruces CM10 ROM... when turning on and off wifi, phone sometimes frozen fo about 10s and then goes reboot...

using an ruu.exe returning your device back to zero and starting again with rooting
but you will still have S-OFF
see here

read it carefully

So you mean i should flash the oldest RUU corresponding to my phone ...without changing from s-off to s-on ???
ITS GETTING ALITTLE BIT COMPICATED NOW !!!
PS. how about changing to another firmware say back to 3.32 ?? doesn't that flash a new Radio and kernel .....so new wifi settings ?
Also ... should i mention this if i go into bootloader --> USB cable --> fastboot and "getvar cid" the result is -------> 11111111
if i use an application called GetCID ..... it says VODAP006
Which one do i have ???? I know i changed it to 11111111, but why do i get different readings ??? whick on is the correct ?

if i use an application called GetCID ..... it says VODAP006
Which one do i have ???? I know i changed it to 11111111, but why do i get different readings ??? whick on is the correct ?
thanks !!

ok try to change fw first to see if it will work
about cid you have supercid(1111111)
the app shows only the default cid
the good for being S-OFF is you can flash whatever ruu you want
but try first to use 3.32fw version
edit:changing fw surely changes radio but i am not sure if changes kernel
because kernel is including in boot.img and boot.img is including in the rom not in a fw zip
but let's hoping

I will try changing the Firmware ....to 3.32 tonight, and see whst happens.
Which rom do you suggest !!?? Do you think Revolution 6.8.0 would be ok .. ??
I am not sure if 3.32 is ok with any rom .... or if its ok with ICS roms in general ..
ANYONE ????
Thank you !!!

the difference between 3.32fw and 3.33fw is only radio upgrade so any ICS rom should work in that fw
Revolution 6.8.0 is very stable rom as reported from many users but i have never tested it by myself

Can't get the WiFi working

Hi there,
I have a problem with my HTC Sensation XE: Can't get the WiFi working.
When i hit the switch to put it ON, it stays on OFF and gives me "Turning on WiFi..." message forever.
- It is not a Radio / RIL problem since, i've tested many ROM's with many Radio / RIL's and it still doesn't work.
- It's not a Hardware problem since, sometimes, it works after various reboots or battery unplugs.
- When i write "getprop" in the terminal i get:
[wifi.interface]: [wlan0] | but if i write ifconfig wlan0 down the answer is SI0CGIFFLAGS no such device
[wifi.softap.interface]: [wlan0]
[wifi.softapconcurrent.interface]: [wl0.1]
[wifi.supplicant_scan_interval]: [15]
[wlan.driver.status]: [unloaded]
[wlan.sim.enabled]: [1]
I really don't know how to get it working again.
[Questions]
* What does the WiFi working / not working depends by? Kernel, Firmware, Radio, RIL, ROM ecc ?
* Is there any way to fix this?
Let me know fellas!

After unsing WiFix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45909421#post45909421
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phone Specs:
ROM: Android Revolution HD 7.3 ( Android 4.0.3 )
Sense: 3.6
Kernel: SebastianFM 3.0.16-v1.5.2
Baseband: 11.76C.3504.00P_11.29A.3504.18_M

it depends from kernel mostly
try a diffrent kernel and see how it goes
you can use also the wifix manager app

I've tried a lot of kernels while changing ROMs but, the problem doesn't seem to get fixed ( actually i'm on a SebastianFM kernel ), however, after the WiFix got installed and activated through *#94349#, i've restarted the phone and the WiFi worked for 2 minutes ( in fact it scanned for wireless network, recognized them and almost connected ). After 2 mins, the WiFi stopped working again and, while trying to reactivate it, I saw that now I can't even deactivate it and i get the "Turning WiFi off..." message
Even tried to change the country code in the app from US to IT ( i'm in Italy ) but nothing happens...
At least i can confirm that it is not a hardwer problem.

take out your back cover and lift up gently the pins which are responsible for the wifi
after that check your wifi

I had it too. But when I install revelation 1.0.2 rom and flash sebastian kernel it works good.

That works for you?

Hello, I have a problem which is almost similar to yours. I tested EVERYTHING, i mean everything i could find in this forum and in the internet. I knew that the Sensation has a problem with the Wi-Fi when i was buying it. (I bought it second hand - the seller told me that the problem with the wifi came after an official update to 4.0.4 Android). It was on low price so i starter looking for a solution to the problem. I found so many things and i said to myself that i will buy the phone, fix it using the forum (I really love u guys, on all my 4 Android phones i used ROM from here) and use the phone with no problem. So i bought the phone. Unlocked the bootloader, made it S-ON, installed 4ext recovery and starter trying everything to fix my problem. I will describe my problem now :
I Installed all versions of ICS, JB (4.1, 4.2 and 4.3), all the various kernels - the problem is that, when i turn the WI fi on i use the phone for 1-2-3 minutes (depends on the load and things i do on the phone) and after that it freezes and reboots. This is on everyrom ! Also while the wifi is turned on, if i want to lock the phone and turn-off the screen - the phone reboots again. I tried to use it without SIM card, tried WiFix Manager on all the ROMs and it didn't help. On ICS ROM WiFix manager helped me to get rid of that "Turning WI-fi on....." message and turns the wi-fi on, but the problem with the reboots persists. I asked the developers of the ROM, wrote in the SebastianKernel thread about that (they just didn't wanted to help me after i told them that flashing boot.img and WiFix doesn't work , I am with 4ext recovery with enabled "smart flash" - no problem with the boot.img) Now i am with MIUI ROM + Sebastian r31 with aroma installer kernel- also having the problem. Can anyone help ?
P.S : I took the phone to a service ( to exclude a hardware problem) and they confirmed that the phone has no hardware issue, the problem comes from the software. I attached a last_kmsg file from such kind of a reboot when the wi-fi is on and i try to turn off the screen.
P.S 2 : I Just installed GetRIL apps to get my RIL and the app says "Unknown RIL Found" ot shows my md5sum and the baseband but the RIL is not found ? What does this mean ?

actually try to return the device to stock by using a ruu.exe

This process will start a long journey of going back S-OFF, installing recovery, Unlocking bootloader etc. and will consume a decent amount of time which i am not sure i have. Are u sure that going back to the far past RUU at any point will solve my problem ?

I don't think this will solve ur problem as I also had the same problem if WiFi and BT for 1 year and I was not able to solve it (story is long) I the tried every thing ruu etc nothing worked , but when I disassembled and reassembled my phone from local market it started to work and I was like o.0 only that fixed my fix problem and its working till now

actually if you are on S-OFF you will remain on S-OFF after ruu installation
so need for S-OFF again nor unlocking bootloader again
if you are on S-ON just use the unlock.code bin after ruu installation to unlock the bootloader
no need for extra steps
