[Q] Wifi won't turn on - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Hello, noob here
I have been using CM 10 for about two weeks and everything was fine (sort of). However, after the latest nightly, my wifi will no lunger turn on. NO it is not a connection problem with my router or any other, the rom will simply read "Turning Wi-Fi on..." in setting but it will never actually turn on. This is happening on 2 differente CM nightlys as well as the most recent Unnoficial AOKP. Any suggestions?

You need to flash your boot.img I used to have the same problem with my vivid. But this is something you should have re-searched its all over the place lol

How did you fix? I flashed another rom to ensure it was not hardware related. Which it wasn't so I flashed CM7 back on and everything works fine now.

try going to the wireless settings, and forgetting all of the networks that you have saved. And then it should work again. This is a bug that's shown up in the other CM7's as well, including my ****ty HTC legend i had before i got my infuse

I'd check your APN settings. As for the guy above you, it sounds like he is complaining about the normal stock radio performance. For some reason, HTC seems to think it's OK for the signal indicator to bounce around like crazy...Try making a backup and flashing another ROM like CM10 and you'll probably see it go away.

Ahh dude the whole reason I'm in this dilemma is because I wanted the ota update and wanted to stick to stock roms for the time being. Isn't there a way to flash a radio on stock roms? Btw this happened because I super cid my phone.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
I'm on 1.06es I think, my signal isn't desperately bad, but a phone like this should be better. Other people report the new ota update solving the H / 3g switching thing, but not for me.

I see the latest radio is 1.08ts.50.02.16 from TMOUS

[Q] Can I remove verizon completely

Hi,
not sure if this has been discussed here or not,
so i have a simple and easy question. I currently use a rooted Verizon 32gb Xoom, with a 4.1.2 CM10 rom installed by Rom Manager.
I do not ever plan to use the Verizon hardware and software in the future, is there a way to completely remove the Verizon software,
so that I can kinda convert this Xoom into a wifi only model ?
Is there a problem doing this that you can think of ?
can I just flash a different modem with cwmr ?
I really despise Verizon and do not want to see the 3g signal meter in the notification panel.
i know it sounds a lil whiney, but i do want to know, what it would take to disable any verizon functionality.
thanks in advance,
Use LAIOT Linux to install Stock MZ604 ROM, then root again and blah blah blah. Else you can try installing AOSP ROM.
Both links on my signature (better saying, 7Heavens have all it and more )
"This Story Ends Where It Began"
I keep mine in airplane mode and just turn on wifi. I never see the 3G icon. I've been doing this for over six months now. I originally did this because I was afraid verizon would try to disable my Xoom. I figured if it never connected to their network that I'd be safe.

I was under impression you could just flash any rom intended for the wifi version and it'll work

This'll work, just flash a wingray rom
Sent from my Blade using Tapatalk 2
I am on a 4G rooted xoom as well that I never use the verizon data. If I were just to install a wingray ROM instead of stingray and keeping in airplane mode, would I be able to expect a increase in battery life?
Possible battery Life increase is the only benefit I see in switching from stingray to wingray.
Well yea you will but then if you want to use wifi it'll defeat the purpose of airplane mode

I just bought a new ($200) 3g version to replace my recently damaged WiFi version. Can I flash a fully stock wingray firmware to it? Or better/safer to just flash a custom wingray ROM?
Thanks.

[Q] Sensation 4G ViperS 1.40 broken WiFi

Hey guys, flashed ViperS 1.4 on my Sensation 4G (TMoUS) with 4Ext, didn't change much as of overclocking CPU/GPU, wiped cache/delvik, booted fine, WiFi wouldn't do anything except say "Turning on..." I decided to look into it, someone suggested to another person with similar problem to instead reflash as an update and don't wipe anything and that didn't do the trick. WiFi works on other Roms, just not this one.
I did some extensive research but couldn't find much to help my position. Any advice?

Hi,
Are you s-on?
If so, follow Extra 1 in THIS GUIDE
I in fact am S-Off, I am hoping that the fix is in 1.4.1, I noticed a lot of people with the similar problem with no known solution.

Weak WiFi on jb ROMs?

I have been trying out a few ROMs and it seems the WiFi on the jelly bean ROMs are weak compared to ICS roms. Has anyone had this problem.

I've used Bruce's CM10 builds and recently switching to the official Cyanogen CM10 builds. Last week I tried out Nikez's JB 4.2 AOSP build. I had great wifi on all of them. Like satndin gout in my front yard with the wifi router in the basement in the back of my house good. So it's not the ROM itself. (Though it could be a combination of the ROM and some app or mod you're running)
You might have a weak connection on the wifi anteneas inside the back case of the phone. Take the back cover off, look at the gold pins on the phone, and make sure they are all raised up. You can take a tiny screw driver and pry them up a little more to make sure they are getting good contact with the back cover (which is the antenea). Juts be VERY careful when doing it.
It might not help, but it's a cheap thing to try.
I have tried that too but its strange I can switch to a ICS ROM and I will have full bars in my whole house but with the jelly bean ROMs its one or two bars unless I'm right next to it.

I've got some WiFi tweaks in my kernel that might help. My kernel, Sultan, has the WiFi voltage increased to the max and it has some WiFi signal parameters altered at the kernel level so WiFi networks with weaker signal can be seen. If my kernel doesn't really help then I can build a kernel just for you that forces the system to use the BCM4329 WiFi driver instead of the BCMDHD WiFi driver; that may help. BTW, if you download my kernel then make sure you download the one for Jelly Bean and not the one for Sense.
I tried your kernel and my WiFi is still weak compared to ICS but does seem a little stronger
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app
This is a confirmed issue, its not kernel related, because even with the kernels with improved wifi voltage (which is more voltage than stock), its still a weaker signal than on an ICS based rom.

Is it an issue with proprietary drivers/code or a issue with JB itself?
I tried two different ones but both the same still weak WiFi ... I am new to HTC so I might not be wiping something right but anyways what kind of recovery should I use and what should be wiped every time I flash a new ROM

most users who are S-ON(like me) 4ext has a feature which calls smartflash
before flashing any rom you have to enable smartflash before flashing(if you are S-ON)
and then flash the rom
for S-ON devices it is one way to boot a rom after installation
if you are S-OFF you don't need that feature
So if I'm s off then ext4 isn't really a must have for me

In your case TWRP should work just fine

4ext was really buggy for me. 1 of the many bugs I experienced with 4ext was that sometimes after flashing a kernel the phone would get stuck at the HTC screen and I would have t use fastboot to flash a boot.img file in order to get my phone to boot; flashing another kernel in the recovery didn't work and it would still be stuck at the HTC screen -_- If you have S-OFF then use TWRP. Just my 2 cents.
