So here is the situation. before i use wifi tethering, I can connect to my bome network. After i run the wifi router app, and turn it off, I can no longer connect to my home network. It finds the network fine. tried disabling router password too. It just continues to try to connect but never does. Only fix I can find for this is to perform a hard reset. I hate doing that.
Ok i had the same problem wifi already finds the network but cannot make connection and how much you trying its getting worse. I don't have my own network and hard reset didn't work. I think it happened because in the registry the phone cannot refresh the information that fast. Try to don't use wifi some time, few days that's worked for me and if someone knows what the problem is, help us!

same problem here. I´m using a vodafone-stock-rom. It has never been different.
But you do not need to go through a hard-reset. If you trigger wifi manually, everything will work again without problems (settings, more, connections, wlan). If you don not want to go this way, just start your phone again (soft reset) and everything will be fine too.
Ill try that. but a soft reset does not solve my issue

Hey guys, I'm new to the Inspire sub-forum.
I was handed down this phone by a friend of mine, (phone only. no box) and it is a bit banged up. Enough so the wifi hardware is failing. (I'm assuming so because it doesn't work.) My question is, how do I go about repairing it? Should I take it to an AT&T store? Also, I have not yet rooted it.
Thanks in advance!
Try to reflash the stock ROM. Look for RUU in the inspire 4g forums.
Or, you can call HTC and see what they say. They might be able to do a warranty swap. Not sure if it'll work since you are not the original owner. Worth a shot though.

Thanks Kirk! Although flashing the stock ROM didn't fix it I appreciate your help. I will try calling HTC and hope for the best.
Is the battery cover damaged or broken in anyway? WiFi connector is bridged or built in to the battery cover as an external antenna I think ..
Whenever I removed the cover I get no WiFi..and you can see some gold colored contacts

There is some damage there actually. My volume rocker won't toggle down only up, but I can't really see any physical damage. Any ideas for a fix or am I SOL? D:
I'll post pics in a sec, camera is charging.

Try connecting to a WiFi router when they are as close to each other as possible.

It will not let me. A box pops up and says "Unable to scan for networks"
By the way I really appreciate you guys helping me out!
Edit: I should mention WiFi automatically turns itself off after it says "Unable to scan for networks"
Try bridging those connectors with a piece of coppee or a paper clip. See if it changes.

Then that might be serious internal problem that might require taking the phone apart to see whats broken.
Also, HTC will not honor the warranty cause of the fact that theres physical damage.

Considering the phone will not have warranty, I probably will take it apart later and find out what's going on.
Also, it's time to root and flash a ROM.

Thank you, now I just need the tools!
Also, I managed to connect to my router some how.. perhaps that smack I gave the phone did the trick
There is still an issue though. I just ran speed test and am getting low speeds so I'm not 100% sure it's using my WiFi connection. I'm not familiar with sense at all so can you tell me if data connection in the notification bar disappears when WiFi is connected?

The wifi indicator on the Inspire looks very similar to the iphone wifi indicator.
Look to the left of the cell signal http://img841.imageshack.us/f/device22.png/

Easy enough, turn on airplane mode then turn wifi on. Let it connect and then try to browse the internet. That will 100% tell you if the phone is using wifi and not the cell signal.

Ah ha! I see now. And surprisingly my WiFi is now working 100% right now and I am very happy! Thank you guys again for the help! Now I'm just paranoid about every little bump that might disable my WiFi somehow
This could just be extra precaution/I'm not sure if HTC would help you out, but you could ask for another battery cover. I hear on these forums that you can get replacements pretty easily...
hey guys, i suffered a lot from disconnects with my wifi when holding the phone in landscape mode
well i tried a app which helped my desire hd a lot, and now .. well i can hold my desire s in landscape without loosing connection
*removed cause its not working*
would be nice if people from u suffering from the same problem can try it and confirm if it is working or not
greetings
Looks good for those without root/S-OFF.... So do you know how does it actually work? Can it change the signal strength threshold somehow?
Tried it. I don't think it does anything to mine. Signal still drops. But not sure if does anything to the threshold.
What does it really do actually?
Doesn't work.
I think it just resets the wifi. ._.
well i don't know what exactly it does, thats why i putted unconfirmed in the thread title, it helped me with my desire s and 2 friends with a desire hd
quote from app description:
This app solves problems in Android OS which cause the Wi-Fi to stop working properly.

that's all i can say what the app is doing
simply thought maybe its helping some others here too
seems to work on my desire s =) but can't test it 100% now beacuse i can't play any online games, im in school and they have blocked all port
also kaspersky say that my phone was block. liked i changed to a new sim card. don't know why. made the program change something on my simcard? hmm
like i said i don't know what exactly the phone is doing, it's talking something about reseting wlan and deleting all data and such
i only wrote her that it worked for me
maybe someone don't have such a extreme death spot and got a faulty wireless duo bad flash so this is helping only for some

try covering the entire top plastic part (the part with the camera with your hand & see if the wifi drops using some app like wifi analyzer)
Well like a fool as my Wifi wasn't that bad.
The result being that I now have no Wifi connection at all.

u must add your wifi + passwords again after using this app, it's mentioned in the app so read first
yes it asked me to configure my wifi again & i did it
but the signal still dropped like before
dont see the bars they are quite misleading ( i am usually able to browse with no bars)
use some app like wifi analyzer
well for wifi analyzer it's already too late cause i can't make a before/after compare now
I tested it with WiFi analyzer before and after, there was still the -20db drop and nothing changed
well then maybe i had some software bugged wlan too and the programm was able to, so it will stay a myth that it's a help for the desire s signal dropping
well thank you guys for confirming it

That is what I did and it made no difference, I had to do a factory reset to get Wifi back. Perhaps I was just unlucky.

Hi all
How can we leave wifi ON while we turn off the screen??
If you got the charger in, it will remain on.
But with the charger out. your wifi will be turned off and will be turned on again when you turn your screen back on.
Is there a registry hack so we can leave wifi on just like in windows mobile??
Thanks
You can't. It's not possible yet.
sucks.. hope microsoft will put in an option in apollo or tango.
tragic...it must be fixed asap!!!

What a pitty! I guess I'll be returning my Lumia 900 since I am sometimes in areas where there is no reception at and I still need work emails and whatssapp notifications.
Major design flaw if you ask me. No clue how MS believes this is a good behavior. At least give us the option!
Well, it's usually a good behaviour because it saves battery and that's pretty sure the reason why MS did it this way. But you're right a setting would be nice. Anyway, the data connection does still work.

If your cellular reception is not phenomenal, 3G drains battery way quicker than WIFI. I have done tests and seen that for myself. Again like you said, an option would be the best thing to do as everyone can be made happy with it.
Here's a trick: http://mobilitydigest.com/wp-tips-tricks-keep-wifi-running-all-the-time/
Thank Jim for finding it and myself for sharing it!
Hi,
Sorry for my language, I'm french. I'll try to explain you my problem.
Sorry one more time if I'm not in the good place to post here.
My SGS 2 switch off himself (itself?) after few seconds of using (all king of using : when looking photos, calls, apk, SMS etc.).
I don't have this issue when the phone is charging.
Just 1 second before the phone swtch off itself there is a trouble on the screen like when you call someone and put the phone near the TV set !
Thanks for all
Jeremy
Hi,
I recommend resetting your phone. Just backup your data, that should help and if it persists you might have a larger problem.
Hope it helps
Thank you for helpin.
But already done :/
Maybe my battery causes these troubles ?
The phone switch of just when I use it a little bit when it's on battery, not on charge.
I feel the battery is the problem, I feel it's a little bit swollen.
Private messages for pictures because I haven't post 10 times yet...
Please help me !

Try replacing the battery may be defective, are you running any custom rom or kernel?

Yes I'm waiting for the mailman.
Custom ROM, custom KERNEL from few months, but I have this problem for +/- 10 days.
To specify, my phone doesn't switch off when I call... It did that in call just one time.
What could make these issues ?

Many things but most likely a bad battery. I had similar shutdown issues on my SE Xperia X10. I bought a new battery and everything works fine now.
I have received my battery ! PolarCell from Germany.
1800 mAh !
I have no problems now !!!
