Hi all,
I have a very strange issue, after modifing my Wifi antenna on a Witson unit I made an error by picking the wrong antenna to solder (bluetooth instead ofg Wifi.
The bluetooth antenne was just a wire with no ground and I made the mistake of grounding the replacement cable.
Result dead Wifi and bluetooth, no way that either were possible to activate in the menus.
So I reached out to the vendor and asked if they could send me a replacement board.
After receiving this I modifed the right antenna, however stil no Wifi with the new board.
Strangely the MAC address is not a valid one, it shows 02:00:00:00:00:00 and says IP address - not available.
Now I tried a rooted ROM to gain more access to the unit and deleted the files under data/misc/wifi and rebooted, no luck.
Used the app -Device ID Changer Pro- to change the MAC address but after a reboot it goes back to the original one.
What is going on?
Normally speaking I would suspect by changing the motherboard it would have resolved the issue.
Changing a Wifi antenna would not cause the MAC address to behave in such a way.
So any sugestions how to resolve this are apreciated because I'm running out of ideas, even the vendor doesn't know what is wrong with this.
Thanks

I have in the past seen a mac address all (or mostly) zeros. The problem went away in my case. Obvious question but have you tried a factory or network settings reset?
Hi xdamember2,
Yes, tried them all, did a factory reset, first in the original ROM a factory reset, then installed Malaysk's ROM on it to gain root access.
Did in the recovery after loading the ROM a factory and data wipe before trying the rest.
No luck and that point, then tried a few times Device ID Changer because of the root functionality within Malaysk's ROM but no luck either.
Tried the network reset before and after that, also nothing.

Well, sorry but I don't have any more suggestions. My wifi works ok but requires occasional manual intervention on the hotspot. It's a completely different problem and not as serious.
same problem for me.. no wifi... removed the px5 and returned to the old px3 and all working fine

I have been Googling like crazy and I've found several posts on various different boards. There's really no reason to link any of them, most are regarding older HTC phones.
What I've managed to find out, is that on some HTC phones that get this problem (if it's not custom rom or an upgrade issue) the WIFI antenna is loose. It just needs to be opened and re-connected.
ORG POST BELOW:
So, went to bed....turned wifi off because I was low on battery. Woke up, charged the phone. Tried turning on wifi, but all I get is "Error" after a couple of seconds. No wifi icon or anything else in the notifications bar. 3G work fine, can turn this on and off.
What's up doc?
Oh, I have stock rom and havent changed any setting, updated anything or done anything to my phone at all since yesterday.
Bluetooth won't turn on either!
Broken antenna in the case? Bad connector pins?
Anybody?
Did a factory reset, changed SD card, wiped that, did a factory reset. Wifi still won't turn on, no icon in notification bar, get "error" in the "Wireless & networks" menu.
Removed back cover, cleaned contacts, checked for cracks in the cover. Nothing.
The phone is 35 days old.....this is a new record for bricked phone for me.

The store/repair center has, according to the manifest I got, done the following:
- Conductive Fabric.Flash to Chassis.PYD
- Rigid-Flex Board ASSY.Upper board.w/oGPS diversity
antenna.w/o_Regional_ID. PYD
- Adhesive-Double Tape.power-keyFPC.CN-4490.PYD
- Conductive Fabric.Flash to chassis.PYD
Apparently, they changed the whole board. It also appears as the camera is new, because there was a small scratch on the metal casing and that's now gone.

No, they just changed your Main Flex Ribbon Cable, as I just finished repairing mine myself from water damage (power button wasn't working at all and it would randomly turn off either mid call or receiving a call 8/10 times). When I was quoted £110 to fix it at the shop I was like screw this, went on to buy the Main Flex Ribbon Cable (which is essentially the whole upper board of the phone) for £44 off ebay and changed it over myself. This part comes with the camera case which you mention you had a scratch on. When you change the boards over you actually have to unplug the cameras from the old one and plug em into the new one. Everything works fine now except for the wireless, which when I try to turn on, it comes up with error now. I'm just happy that I can use my phone without worrying about missing calls or not being able to turn it on without adb commands while I am out, leaving me essentially stranded....

If you're rooted, boot into recovery, wipe dalvik cache and cache then reboot. This worked for me.
I'm having the same problem on my HTC One S - When you press the wifi button to connect it instantly turns itself off and reads "Error". Does anyone have a clue why it's doing this??

Feb end, during my Jakarta visit purchased a Chinese tablet cum phone (Advan) running on Android 2.2.2.
Whenever I turn on WiFi I get the message error.
Can someone help to solve this ?
What does the error message say specifically (or is it just "Error")? To rule out a hardware problem, I'd recommend flashing back to factory settings if you can't get it resolved an easier way.
When I click on wifi..it says turning on and after a few seconds it simply says "Error". I tried the factory reset, still the problem persists.
Try turning on bluetooth and then wifi... If the error is still there then i guess its hardware issue
OMG.. Just noticed even blue tooth is not getting on...
You know what? Fake china tab with no bluetooth and wifi hardware. In short you got ripped of your money :/
Looks like I am ripped off. However, the wifi was working fine initially, I downloaded some apps. As of now, once a while it shows my wifi setting however when log into wifi I get the error. Today the bluetooth is working. When I checked locally, they told I need to change a IC inside, which I am scared to touch. Any clue/help on how to reinstall android 2.2.2 ? Let me try it also.
If they said you need to change the IC inside, then it sounds like you got a partially ripped off, as they sold you a shoddily assembled tablet or else used shoddy equipment (ICs, etc) on the board.
Trying to reinstall the OS may put you in even deeper water unless you can contact the manufacturer and get it directly from them.
I recently got an LG Lucid 2 (VS870) which is running android 4.1.2 software VS7011A. I have also tried it on VS87010B. When i go into the wifi settings, I can see and add networks, which then say "saved, secured." it does not try to obtain an ip address or anything, it just says it is saved. It worked fine for about a day, but then stopped connecting.
I have rooted it with framaroot 1.9.1 (apk attached), which installed with no problem. I have used CWM touch recover, which does not need flashing, by playfulgod (apk attached)
It has this problem for all wifi networks i have tried, and resetting the router did not help. Other than initially rooting it, i have not changed anything along those lines. I have looked all over the internet with no successful solution, and any help would be appreciated.

i did this exact same thing
seems the defualt mac address is overwritten when the kernal is flashed with the unlocked one, once done, nothing fixes it, ive tried, it seems the unlocked kernal messes with the phone somehow for some people. but i found a work around, you have to install an app called macChanger and spoof a random mac address you must do this once in awhile or at every reboot, ive found no way to set the mac address so it seems we are ****ed, best bet it to just keep it as a nice mp3 player or a movie phone
Seems to work

I revisited this issue, and I found what appears to be a solution. I tried your suggestion, and seeing it worked, decided to mess around and see what i could figure out. I edited the mac address on the last line of /data/misc/wifi/config
and after a couple reboots, the address i entered seems to stay as the device's mac address and wifi continues to work.
I attached my edited version of the file
works Mac address issue fixed, needed to reboot at least three times
Hi guys,
I need help. Once I encrypted my phone. Location service/GPS is not working on my phone.
Before encryption. There is the location icon always comes up when I access something like Google Maps. even tried installing GPS toolbox. Able to see the satellites and all.
But after encryption, the location icon does not come up. But somehow in High Accuracy mode, it does get somewhere of an approximation of my location.(from network and Wifi).(This does not go well when you are navigating around)
Have you guys encountered this. I have even tried flashing the new L09 Rom and it is still the same.
Also searched around the forums (Looks like the old Samsung phones had this issue where after encryption the GPS would not work). But the post is way back in 2011. And they din follow up on the posts on how it was fixed.
I have factory reset my phone a number of times, flash new rom(the one shared on this forum)
Also played with the settings nothing happens. I still cannot get GPS to work after encryption.
Also another thing I notice is that during the encryption a strange error came up and say that Settings have stopped working. I do not know whether there is a coincidence or not and whether it has anything to do with this GPS problems..
Any help is welcomed. as having a phone with no GPS is really driving me up the wall.

Really sorry for late response - but you can fix this problem using attached file - this is apk from China version of Mate7 make you be able to give (or revoke) access to system data storages (including GPS) to applications.
I had the same problem as you - and using this apk i've fixed it successfully.
it doesn't work for me - can anybody sent printsceen of settings of this app?
Thanks
@nchee + @mireczeque
Have you BOTH re-flashed the stock rom by using the official HUAWEI procedure (i.e. three buttons pressed togheter and ROM saved on DLOAD folder)? If so, do you have ALSO applied a WIPE DATA FACTORY RESET plus a WIPE CACHE PARTITION?
I had some problems with APPS crashing when I tried restoring my HAM with B130. I WIPED everithing and THEN re-flashed fresh B130 from DLOAD sdcard procedure, and everithing worked perfectly. I hope this help.

Hello Everyone!
Yesterday I made the change from S5 to S6 (G920F) and I have a big problem with the bluetooth performance of the phone. It can't connect (for example JBL Charge 2+) or constantly drops connection, even the bluetooth device is near the phone (Galaxy Gear Fit, Samsung HM1100 Bluetooth headset, bluetooth mouse, etc) Today I searched thru the Internet to find a solution, but I didn't find anything else than the "cleare cache, then everything will be fine" thing...Is there any REAL solution to this problem (custom Rom, Kernel, fix, etc.)?...Now I'm very disappointed...Thank You For Your Answers
Marshmallow 6.0.1 Stock, not rooted...full factory rom
It's Bluetooth, there's bound to be a problem or the other.
Boot into recovery, do a cache wipe, then perform factory reset.
If it that doesn't fix it, you must have got a phone with a defective modem. Go to the nearest service centre and have it checked out.
