[Q] No WiFi post-root issue

I finally understood how to root my Inspire to take it over to my pre-paid T-Mobile, but, now, I can't get to the internet via WiFi. I've tried my wifi, as well as other connections around me, with no luck. The only way I can get internet on my phone is if I use the passthrough option. I'm running the stock 2.2 OS with no ROMs. Have I done something wrong...?
Additional Info:
Forgot to mention that I used the ace-hack, Version 11A. Also, I can scan for wifi networks, and I can connect. I have a good signal, and I can login to my router and see the phone listed. The "Mobile network" setting has been disabled since I won't be using data with T-Mobile. I've turned on Airplane Mode and tried to get to the internet that way, and the same thing still happens; I can see the networks, and I can connect, but, I have no data coming in or going out.

Any luck? I just ran through the same version of ace hack 11 and I'm experiencing the same problem. I can connect to any wi-fi with an excellent signal, but can't connect to the internet.

No ): I ran through AceHack11A again for giggles, and, I still have the issue. I'm thinkin' I may have to install the stock AT&T radio, but, from what I understand of it, the radio has nothing to do with wifi.

I'll save you the trouble of installing the stock radio, already tried it. I was able to get things working though... here's basically my chronology of things:
- Did step one of the reverse CID, god the goldcard.img emailed to me, no problems
- Did step 2, downgraded. After the downgrade, I could still use wi-fi at this point without issue.
- Step 3... this is where the wifi internet issue was introduced.
- Connected to the internet with via my PC with USB cable.
- Ran the one of the programs that was installed in step 3: Rom Manager (while connected to the internet). It made me download and install Flash ClockworkMod (all done through the rom manager gui).
- I bought the full version of Rom Manager. I removed the free version that was installed, re-installed the updated free version, then bought the premium rom manager.
- Within ROM manager, clicked on Download ROM and downloaded the CyanogenMod rom (I went with the regular CyanogenMod, not the nightlies version). Installed it, and everything works great.
You can probably tell I'm a total newb to android, hence the annoyingly detailed description of what I did. Give it a go, maybe it will work for you?

same problem here, after root
update:
Ok, I fixed installing a stock ROM from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058042
Probably the problem has to be something with Rom Manager (is not present in the stock rom), I didn't check it anyway.

I have the same problem several days ago. I flashed the Revolution ROM, and it was resolved.

Hi, this is my first post on here. I searched the forums for this problem I just encountered that happened right after I plugged in my phone at work to get internet thru my PC using the data cable. At lunch time I went home and turned WiFi on and now it just keeps scanning and will not connect to my Wifi! It sees my WiFi which was working just fine since the day I brought it home. All this started because I wanted to try out using the data cable to get internet on my phone since my work doesn't have WiFi. I believe it has something to do with connecting thru the data cable pass-through connection. I am on stock ROM. I rooted the phone before but went back to stock ROM because it just seemed like too much maintenance for me at this time.
Does anyone know how I can fix this? Am I going to have to flash back to original ROM to fix this?

I searched some more on there and only found this other topic but since I'm not at home at I cannot confirm if changing it to charge only and restarting will fix the WiFi problem that I am having! I'll try this out later.

For anyone else having issues, please use this method.
NOTE: You DO NOT have to buy the full version of ROM Manager in order to fix the issue. The free version will work just fine.

What ROM are you running?

4G will not connect with differet ROM's (Wifi also)

Hey everyone!
Been lurking for months here and finally got the guts to try myself at installing a new ROM.
I have an LG G2X with Videotron here in Quebec Canada, we are stuck on Froyo and it will never get upgraded. :/
I rooted it without issues!
I also flashed CWM 5.0.2.8
I have backed up my stock ROM to SD Card.
I have installed the following ROM's with issues.
aokp_p999_build-37
won't boot, stays at LG logo
BionixReloaded_v1.4.1_FINAL
It runs. No 4G, Wifi connects and disconnects in a loop.
update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-p999-signed
Does not boot, stays at CM screen
update-cm-7.1.0-G2x-signed
It runs. No 4G, Wifi connects and disconnects in a loop.
Bionix2-TheLegacyContinues-RC1 with Bionix2-RC1-Patch
It runs. No 4G, Wifi connects and disconnects in a loop. I had 4G work in this ROM for a bit then it stopped.
Steps I have done from CWM
Wipe phone
Wipe Cache
Wipe Davik cache (or something like that!)
Formated System
Installed ROM from ZIP
reset permissions
I also backed up my APN settings from my stock rom and added into the packaged ROMS and still no go. The APN settings for Videotron were in them already. Phone portion works and SMS also, it does say Videotron when connected with cell antenna..
I know some people on Videotron have done it in the past and the only issues were with PAN settings which seem to have been added in newer ROMs.
I have searched endlessly and now I'm at a point where I can't see straight! lol
Any ideas would really be appreciated.
Marc

Ah man nevermind! lol I was tired and figured it out while driving back from work!
Thanks anyway!

Can you post your solution in case other people have the problem?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA

No probs!
In most cases I was just installing an update so I'm guessing that the ROM was partially running as I had not installed the base ROM and then the updates. But some of the full ROM's listed would not get passed the splash screens...
Now I have EaglesBlood™ Ice Cream Sandwich [AOSP 4.0.4] and it's running with minimal issues!
My Wifi and 4G are running without issues!
I've had a few EBLauncher crashes that required a battery pull...
The Voicemail notification does not work with this ROM for me...
EDIT: GMail does not Sync, I need to deactivate and reactivate Sync for it to work for 1 time only... Have to do this everytime I wan't to know if I have emails...
So far, no other issues. I will try to search for the issues I am experiencing now and see what I can fine. Could not find anything on the voicemail notification issue.

[Q] Can't Connect To Mobile Data

Hi, I have an HTC Sensation running Cyanogenmod 9's June 14th Nightly. Originally I was running the June 15th Nightly, but I realized that my data was not connecting.
I was using WIFI and that worked perfectly, but when I was out of range, my phone attempted to connect to T-Mobile's network but failed to do so. The HSPA+ icon flickers on and off while the bars remain full and white. I was still able to make calls but I have no data connection. This was originally on the June 15th CM9 nightly. I flashed back to the June 14th nightly and the problem persists. I have also tried re-booting my phone several times.
I flashed the stock ROM with the 1.17 radios and Data worked but when I went back to ICS ROMS with the latest radios it didn't work. I also tried installing the latest RILs and Data still doesn't work.
Here is how my homescreen looks:
http://gyazo.com/8e4c50313720c6ce34434292d6616a2e
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem using my new Miui Rom (it's based off cm9 nightly) . I used titanium backup to clean out my Roms and just like you I realized that my data keep starting and cutting out. I backed up everything so i re-installed everything one by one until something called Key Chain 4.0.4 finally was found as the missing piece. You might want to install titanium backup and check for that app (key chain)

Mine did that when I was trying to use different APN's. The only one that allows me to connect is wap.cingular
You could check that, I guess. Otherwise, try opensensation and/or a different radio.

[Q] Wifi Issues

I would have posted this in the Sensation Android development area, but I don't have sufficient privileges to do so.
I no longer have WiFi.
I am using the 4.1.2 CM Kang, and I originally had WiFi working with that ROM, but it stopped working about a weeks ago, and I can't get it to come back.
If I watch the Wifi on/off toggle, I can see it blink white for a split second then return to grayed out about once every 5-10 seconds.
I've checked the WiFi settings, and the only thing that looks peculiar is that the region code under Advanced says "Europe," but when I try to change that, it just reverts.
I have tried a factory data reset,re-flash of the ROM, and installing newer versions of the ROM with no luck.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

tried this ?

WiFi will not turn on

I tried to install WiFix Manager, and I followed the directions closely, but WiFi still will not turn on.
The country code always reverts back to Europe in the Advanced WiFi Settings.
I'm on T-Mobile US, running AOKP aokp_pyramid_unofficial_Oct-19-12.zip; a JB ROM; 4.1.2
I previously tried the CM10 Kang for the HTC Sensation, but switched ROMs to make sure that it wasn't issue with the ROM.
To be clear, my problem is not that the WiFi radio never locks to a particular signal, it's that the WiFi radio won't even turn on.
When I go to WiFi settings it just says, "Turning on WiFi...," and never actually turns on.
My best guess was that it had something to do with the WiFi country code, but that's really just a stab in the dark; open to suggestions.
Thanks

Surely, there's someone out there that can help?

In order of easiest and quickest to longest time it will take to do each one...
Install the latest version of the ROM (10/23) overtop of your existing rom (5 minutes)
If that doesn't work...
Do a full wipe and install a fresh copy of the latest version. (15 minutes, with Nandroid backup)
If that doesn't work...
Format your SD card (save all the contents to your computer first) (40 minutes between copying every to the computer and back to the SD card)
NON ROM RELATED OPTION IF YOU ARE S-OFF
Reinstall your firmware as it's possible something got messed up. You will have to boot to recovery after this and wipe cache and dalvik or you will get bootloops. (5 minutes, but a little more involved)
My guess is that the full wipe and fresh install is the most likely to work the first time.

is there a sensation specific guide for this procedure?

Still perplexed
How do I know which kernel and radio combination should work best with my ROM. I switched out to AOKP to see if that was the problem, and I believe I'm using the 3.33 Kernel, but I don't know how to check to make sure it installed correctly.

Had the same problem as you but a full wipe and reflash would bring it back. Seems to be a CM10 problem since it happens with Bruce's and Paranoid roms. Try a Sense rom and see if wifi works.

Is OpenSense considered a "Sense ROM?"

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926858
Try that rom, more stable and better performance than all the popular roms.

I had the same problem only option was another room Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_6.8.0 (this is the rom)

so long, and thanks for all of the fish...
I figured it out.
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S III. WiFi is working again.
Thanks for all of the help!

wifi cm10
I have tried several CM10 roms. It is as you said about the region code. It reverts back to the original and doesnt save it on the settings

Even though editing db file doesn't work. Actually it changes the country code. I guess the ROM changes it during booting. Because while it boots you can see that the wifi is connecting first then goes off. I have tried several roms. DOnno what the problem is. probably JB both on cm10 and aokp

[Q] GT-P3113 WiFi Frozen - Will Not Turn On after OTA Update

Friend Updated a Stock GT-P3113 using OTA update (Android 4.2.2) and it broke his WiFi. The WiFi does not turn "on" and cannot see any WiFi Networks.
The unit is out of warranty (bought last July i believe), and Samsung Customer "Service" says its a known issue the OTA but they want $100 USD to fix the problem they made.
So...
I rooted his device using Odin and installed CM 10.2 Official Nightly Build following all the wipe instructions. Booted up great but No WiFi.
I then decided to Return everything to the earliest p3113 Stock image, so I Signed up for the Samsung Official Forums, downloaded the Official Rom, and uploaded the ROM using Odin. Now running Stock 4.0.4, No WiFi...
Bluetooth seems to initialize and the ROM reads a MAC address, but I am unsure what to try next. I suspected a hardware issue but Bluetooth works, and the system never overheated...
Search Turns of only Hardware replacement, and WiFi Fixer does nothing. Any other ideas?

Agak nya sy juga tidak mengerti gan

Try to search in the forum about wpa_supplicant . I think i might Help.

I have the same problem!
