Did you try going back to Stock ROM? I would strongly recommend flashing back to the Stock Rom and then --
Enter the following line of USSD code in your Phone Dialer to get into the Diagnostic Menu
type *#*#3424#*#* and you will enter in HTC Diagnostic menu 3424 means (DIAG)
Test your Wifi and Bluetooth from there. If you are still not getting any positive results, then go the Settings > About Phone > Software update and check for any updates regarding the phone from Htc.
I faced a similar problem regarding Wifi not powering on and it turned out to be a Settings Update which broke the Wifi. I uninstalled the update and the phone worked as a charm.
Good Luck,
Ravi.

The golden pins in the back cover also need to be clean in order to Wi-Fi work.
EDIT: Make sure the golden pins & back cover are very clean, and in contact properly.
All antennas are in the back cover.
Including bluetooth.

Hi i baught a sensation cheap coz the wifi r bluetooth did not work, tried every fix, s-off, radio, firmware everything but nothing worked at all. Turned out that it was the back battery cover, there is copper looking pins on there but they aint pins, they just conductive paint and they worn through to the plastic so this is what i done, look at the pics, now i have perfect wifi and bluetooth ever since. Its worth a try
Oh so many things to try out let me try them one by one and by the way where can I see the Ruu

Hey all I new here
I have a HTC sensation it broke twice so has been sent of for repair loads
Iv recently ft it back with the GPS not working it comes up with the flashing
GPS icon in notification bar but doesn't lock.
So I decided to root it and install fash Rom to se if it could fix the problem
But sadly hasnt.
I realy can't be bothered to send it away again because they are crap at repairs
U always get it back with something else broken lol.
Is there a place were I can buy a GPS receiver and replace mine?
Hope to here what you guys think.

It's not a hardware issue. Download GPS status from the market and clear the GPS cache. Should fix your problem.
Thanks for the advise mate. I tryd GPS status still no lock on any satellite.

Is that worth doing whether your GPS is actually working or not? As it seems to imply it'll see more satellites...

For the most part it should work. Usually whenever gps shows sats but doesn't lock it mostly has to do with kernels, ril/radio combos, and the version of superuser one is on.
I had an issue where the gps would not lock at all, but after a lot of troubleshooting, I ran into those issues. I just flash whatever rom I want, make sure the ril and radio combo works. Do not mess with the kernels for now and test for gps. If it doesn't work, try crypted's fix.
Thanks guys ill that. If it doesn't work can I jus flash a diiferent kernel and dif version of superuser if so what would you put on a HTC sensation on o2?

Did you reboot? And what kernel are you using? And have you confirmed that you have the correct ril/radio combo working with that rom you are using?

Just a fyi, I have always had problems with faux kernels and running gps. Is that kernel the bundled into the rom? Is there a more 'stock' kernel you can try?
Also use file explorer/astro to the system/etc folder. Make sure you just delete the suplrootcert. It's not needed to run gps at all. Totally optional file the gps.conf file uses, but I delete it anyways.
yea it was a bundle i think there was a stock rom. what rom and kernels are good for sensation.

Shut down the phone and take the battery out for 30 seconds. Put it back in and then turn the phone back on. That fixed the problem for me, and it also worked for a number of other people. It might work for you, although there is only one way to find out!

okay so i installed this rom to my tmobile htc sensation and now after a few hours i hate it and want to go back to stock is there anyway i can becuase i tried to use vol down key power button but it wont work it'll just turn on the normal way and i didnt back up anything at all i know that was a dumb move on my side but i just been stock htc sensation with sense UI on it again someone please help me !!!!
the rom i had been using was SENSEaY_XE35_v2.1.0 and now im trying to get stock again
Make sure that fastboot is turned off in your power settings. Now you can boot into recovery. Alternatively i am sure you can do it through the restart function on Senseay.
To get back to stock rom, i'm sure if you use the search tool you will find what you are looking for.
Android dev forum there is an explanation if how to go back to stock.
If one rom didn't work for you can always try another. Try ARHD or Insert Coin, etc.

Hello,
I have mine and my wives sensations s-off and rooted and both running the latest Android Revoluttion 3.5 Roms with beats. My phone is fast and everything works great, apart from very occasional black screen freeze and lock up. Quick battery removal/restart fixes it. But the wives phone lags, freezez, loses WiFi. What should I do to fix it? Tried reflashing the Rom, but to no avail. She wants me to make it s on and remove root. Any suggestions before I do?
Thanks

G'day mate,
As far as I know these problems are mentioned on the ARHD page, if you scroll down the first post, you'll see all the FAQ's, I also had these similar problems in the early stages of learning all about Android.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I super wiped, redownloaded 3.6.11 ROM and reflashed it. So far so good, but its only been less than a day.

It seems like all my phones are having problems this month.
Anyways, Sensation XE got updated to ICS in India a few days ago and i downloaded the update after which this WiFi and other wireless issues started.
My phones WiFi shows disconnected when i turn it on and when i turn it ON it says connecting and then gets OFF on its own. I tried forget network and the connected again but still the issue. Also my WiFi-Hotspot doesn't work....it reads 'turning on'...stays for a long time and then 'off'. Same thing is there with the Bluetooth. I re-booted, still nothing.
My phone is not rooted, S-ON and stock ROM....so i have pretty much no idea what to do. Tried reaching HTC via e-mail but no reply. So i turned to the best people in the job :highfive:
P.S. I dint have any problem with the phone when i was using Gingerbread.

My sensation had a hardware failure. The only thing that was wrong was wifi stopped working. Hope thats not your issue, it is a known issue with sensation though. Maybe check your back cover make sure it makes contact in all the spots its supposed to, you could have a bent contact, maybe see if wifi works with a different back cover.

It's not that. It's pretty much since I messed about with it. Can't understand why s-off wouldn't work. Anyway like I said I gave up and in temp rooted and left it as it was but the WiFi has an error now. There was one strange thing when trying to s-off. When I set it back to stock it would recognize the sd card, formatting only worked doing it through 4ext and even then I had to partition it first. Maybe thus info may help you find me a fix.
