I have an HTC One S (unlocked T-mobile) which runs on stock 4.0.4. And over the last 8 months all I have been doing is looking for a solution for my Wi-Fi issue. It worked perfectly fine initially. But then Wi-Fi suddenly stopped working. I don't remember clearly if this was after an OTA update or not. The Wi-Fi keeps trying to turn on but doesn't go past the "Turning on" phase. I can't even shut it and it drains my battery very fast because the phone never goes to sleep. I don't know if this is a software or hardware issue. I have tried practically everything including a Hard Reset. My phone is not under warranty so I need someone to help me fix this issue. Will a jelly bean update (whenever it does come) solve the issue? Or maybe rooting the phone to CM?

Ever since upgrading to AT&T 2.2, I have a had an issue that on every other reboot, the phone radio does not turn on. I am not getting a SIM error, or any other error indication, nor does the phone go to airplane mode (bluetooth and wifi work). If I check phone settings, I get phone # unknown and no phone signal. Once I shut the phone down and turn it back on again, phone service is back.
I'd suspect a SIM issue, but this did not happen on 2.1. Could this be a bad flash (I could not get Kies Mini to push the firmware, I had to install via Odin)? Has anyone else seen this kind of flakiness?
Bump
Is anyone else seeing intermittent issues of the phone thinking it doesn't have a SIM installed? The good news is that I have not had two reboots in a row with this problem, the bad news is that I do see this on nearly 50% of boots.
I dont have the problem, if it does happens it only happens like once a week for me, it usually fixes it by going into airplane and back to regular

I tried that. On my phone, that does not remedy the situation. The SIM itself has not moved since the update (I can't remember if I pulled it when I ran the upgrade), so I don't think it's a loose contact.
att can fix
Bring the SIM and phone into ATT, they will fix it for you there, hopefully for free, that could work, just unroot before and unflash if you did, then say you have SIM problems and then tell them that you had it in during the update, sometimes that causes problems
I have this same issue. Yesterday after about 5 reboots the phone would not pick up any signal... at times and after several minutes, some signal would show up and then disappear again... After about the fifth time, I turned off WiFi, because it had been on the whole time and that fixed the problem. Signal came back after a while and was stable. Turning WiFi back on did not bring back the problem. I guess Froyo just does not like the WiFi being on when booting the phone. Hopefully this can help others fix this same issue when encountered.

So I'm new to the Droid Charge and still running stock. For whatever reason I've noticed lately that my phone will randomly show no signal and a lot of times when it does its because airplane mode has turned on by itself. Now I've been on Verizon for years and never had a problem losing signal in my house so it has to be a phone issue. Anyone else ever have this problem? any fixes?

I had that problem a little while ago, however I had just flashed a rooted custom rom. What fixed it was wiping and going back to stock then completely reflashing the rom and setting it up from scratch, I guess something modem or framework related messed up during that first flash but its been a few weeks and seems to be fine now

I hope I'm posting this in the right section, sorry if I didn't.
I have an AT&T HTC Inspire 4g. It has been rooted and then unrooted but I don't think that is the problem. I have an otterbox defender series. I dropped my phone some months back and I've been having this problem every since.
My wifi and bluetooth do not work anymore. They did before I dropped the phone.
When I go to turn on wifi, it say's "turning on..." and about 15 seconds later it say's "Error". (Note that I am not scanning for wifi simply just turning it on.)
On the bluetooth problem. I go to turn it on and it simply says "turning on..." then about 15 seconds later it says "Turn on Bluetooth" again.
I'm thinking that it is a hardware problem but I didn't want to take the phone apart without checking with someone other than AT&T or HTC, because they want me to send it in to them, to see if anyone else has had any of these problems before and figured out a way to fix it software wise.
Thanks in advance for anyone that may be able to help.
Did you try repeating the battery door and sim cover?

Old phone died, so after getting a new Pantech Marauder (Verizon) on ebay everything was working well. Then I decided to update to Jelly Bean because... why not! There didn't seem to be any major problems posted online.
Well, now the phone constantly reboots for no reason. The phone isn't rooted and is all stock. Only a small handful of apps are downloaded. Any ideas/advice?
So far I've tried battery pulls, restarting the phone properly and resetting the phone.
Thanks in advance!
The phone is still rebooting randomly, but the reboots have become so fast that you can barely tell now! All joking aside though, it's still kind of annoying. Haha. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Updated to KitKat. Unlocked bootloader, rooted.
Noticed for the last couple days whenever I turn my wifi off (because of poor signal, fact I'm at work, whatever), it turns itself back on within minutes. Tried to find any kind of setting that might be doing this, but no luck. A search reveals similar issues with some sprint phones, but nothing with the Razr Hd. Is there any way to stop the wifi from turning itself back on? If I wanted it on, I'd manually do it.
Never mind. I figured out it was an app I was using causing that. Weird that I first noticed it after I updated to KK.
