WiFi won't turn on

hello,
I know there are a few old threads about this but instead of digging up an old one I thought I would start a fresh, seeing how none have answers on.
I have a problem on my raphael, the wifi wont turn on, I click the button in comms manager and nothing happens, it thinks a while and then decides that it wont turn on.
This occured on the original HTC rom and the Energy 3.0 ROM I have on it now.
Has anyone found a fix to this?

hard reset or reload a new rom

To be honest.. I don't think there is a solution to this problem. If it's the problem that I have, then I think it's a hardware problem. Since you've had it happen on two roms now, it might be safe to say that a hard reset won't work.
My situation is similar to yours, except mine will sometimes turn on (and turn itself off in a few minutes).

well!
mild pain, I have tried it over 2 roms 2 radios and a hard reset, so none of them fix it, I dont think it is finding the card properly.

I had the same issue, i confirmed with HTC it is a hardware issue (i don't remember the wifi ever working working, but i did not try it for the first 6 months i owned the phone......)
I actually received my replacement phone in the mail (thanks AT&T) last friday

My problem is that my phone was bought at an import phone store... So they can't really replace the phone for me (I guess they probably can't afford something like that). All they've tried was to direct me to other places to fix the phone. I'd have to send it overseas to fix it =(.

Now that's annoying, I got my phone second hand so really can't send it off for replacement
Looks like the data upgrade orange just gave me 250mb - 500 will come in handy after all!
Thanks for your responses people, I think I will add this to the list of known faults on the wiki.

[Q] Galaxy S II Battery Problem

Hey everyone, I need some help here.
A friend of mine bought a Galaxy S II about 5 days ago.
Her problem is that her battery lasts for like half a day. The only thing she has turned on is mobile network (3g). No wifi, no bluetooth or anything else. She has installed several applications, but nothing too extreme.
What could be the reason? And how is this solvable?
I was thinking of calibrating the battery, and if the problem persists, take it to replace.
The main problem is that it is not sure whether they are going to replace it, since when she was looking to buy it, she could barely find it, and the one shop that had it said that it was the last one they had on stock. They all said that Samsung had stopped producing models and, thus, they had none left.

this may not be a problem of faulty battery in the first place. try changing few things (lowering the brightness, switching off all the radios when not in use etc) and see if that improves the battery life. if it doesn't, then approach the service center, they will get it replaced. hope it helps

If it is actually a hardware problem, will it be a battery problem? Or a problem with the device itself?

Could be some rogue apps. GO Launcher and GO Locker can cause this if not set up properly. Coupled with with poor internet coverage if your 3g is poor, can cause the phone to continuously fail at synching and not preventing it to sleep well.
Uninstall programs you suspect are causing your phone to turn on periodically or check the battery power usage in settings to see which apps are draining the battery the most.
If still troublesome install Better Battery Stats from the forum which can give you more detail as to the cause of battery drain.

[Q] WIFI & sound problem

Hi, i did not find any related to my problem, that's why i am opening this thread.
I did a brick on my tf700 at last September and the cheapest solution it was to buy a new board on ebay.
i did the replacement that it was easier than i supposed and it started to work like new, like the first time the system ever boot.
After some days i did again unlock and install cromix and during several weeks it was perfect until yesterday when I detected that it was not good WiFi.
It is like half of intensity compared with htc one. Just works up to 8m from router.
I open it again to verify contacts, board. Everything is normal.
Do anyone know about antenna problem on tf700 (on my last prime it was a lot)? or hardware problem that in a moment reduced the intensity, if it was no WiFi at all i understood as a hardware problem, but half is strange.
Another thing is sound. When i started tf700 no sound, just on phones. After some hours (from night to morning) tablet working, sound appear.... i don't understand.
I tried different firmwares, now i am on cmb 4.3, and it is the same.
Any help?

If you use a different rom and you still have the same problems, then you may have a defect motherboard..
You can try to install a stock rom to verify the issues that you have. If you still have the problems, then you can confirm that you have a bad board.. Good luck..:fingers-crossed:

I already ordered another board from other guy.
My doubt is if the problem is at the ROM level, or kernel level.
Is not possible to take a log to see what Android reports at startup for sound and WiFi?

Did you do a clean installation of your rom? If you flashed different kernels, you may have messed up the wifi modules.
Or it is another bug that has been discussed lately in the CROMi-X forum. If you turn wifi off and then on again: Does that change anything?
Some people had bad download speed when waking from sleep, whereas it was fine on a fresh boot or after toggling WiFi on/off.
If that is your problem, try turning off WiFi Optimization in the WiFi settings.

My bluetooth keeps turning on/off continuously

I have my phone paired to my Pioneer head unit and if it disconnects it will occasionally cause the Bluetooth to turn on and off continuously without warning or anyway to stop the cycle. The only way I found to resolve the issue was a factory reset. I just reset my phone yesterday and the same thing happened today when I tried to re-pair to it again after I left my car. As you can imagine, this is extremely annoying, I am hoping someone can provide some insight on a possible fix for this.

I've experienced the same thing with my BLU Pure XL. It doesn't look like anyone has responded; likely because there isn't a fix and the phone is so substandard. Bluetooth is weak; signal strength is pathetic, cheap glass, lacks friendly ergonomics. I could go on. I've tried to submit issues through BLU website - no response. I won't give them another chance. Likely will buy the new Plus 1. Good luck and if you find a fix please post it here.

So I noticed the Bluetooth issue only occurs for me when I am connected to a bluetooth device and a specific sequence of events occurs to cause it to happen. Specifically something like my vehicles aftermarket Pioneer radio where I can wipe the bluetooth memory of it (it has a 3 device limit). If, I wipe the bluetooth memory of my radio while my phone is connected, it will cause it to go into a loop and thus require a factory reset to resolve the issue. Since I discovered this, I have wiped the memory while the phone is disconnected and the issue does not occur. It has been quite sometime since I have originally posted here and I haven't had a problem since I have monitored it. Please let me know if this seems to be the same thing that occurred for you as well. Cheers

GPS issues after Nougat update

Hi all,
I'm shouting out just to see if anyone has experienced GPS symptoms like mine.
I installed the Nougat update (via LG UP I think). I then even hard reset once Nougat was installed.
Now when I use GPS in driving apps like Maps or Waze, it loses the gps lock and searches for location quite frequently.
I even downloaded the GPS Status app and did a cold start and refreshed my agps data etc...
I'm pretty sure I had no issues before the upgrade (but I also recently went on a long road trip whereas I don't normally drive which could have accentuated the dormant issue) so was just curious if this has happened to anyone else?
I'm familiar with some hardware G5 GPS issues so before I contact Verizon or LG I figured I would just see if anyone has had any post Nougat GPS issues.
Thanks,
T

I have the same issue. It is very annoying. Hopefully they sort this out.

Strange, could possibly be a coincidence and is the hardware failure finally setting in, but the timing sounds a bit suspicious..

Yes, I've got the same thing since the nougat update along with a host of other problems that I'll bring up in another thread. Ok, I'll touch on them here, but start a new thread rather than thread-Jack. Since the nougat update I have four noticeable problems, the NAV issue being one of them. Two other minor annoyances and one big one. When I plug in a fast charger, oem or not (I have several), I frequently get TWO notifications, one that says slow charge and one that may say charge, or fast charge. If I unplug and replug, everything is fine. I've also been getting ghost images when I change screens. Also, my multitude of Bluetooth headsets (mostly LG) have become unusable for phone calls. Fine for streaming audio, but unuseable for calls. All these problems started after the nougat update. I did a factory reset with no change. Verizon is going to send me a new phone. If it's not on nougat, I'm NOT going to update it! I was very happy with my phone until I got the update, now I'm just frustrated. When Google/LG/Verizon fix the bugs, then I'll update! Right now I'm just aggravated with the whole thing.

my also having same problem ....

fyi, I ended up contacting Verizon and they eventually escalated me to tier 2 and the tier 2 guy said it was a rare known issue to have a hardware gps issue and he said to swap the unit. Since I wasn't under warranty with them I contacted LG and will send it in to them.

..same issue
@up
What does "swap the unit" means?

@MARCIN2M - It means they were willing to send me a new phone in exchange for the old phone.
Update... I got my phone back from the LG repair center. It's the same phone I sent them (same serial number). On the very sparse notes that came in the box, it said they re-flashed the memory. I don't know exactly what was meant by that. GPS seems to work now.

Hi, were you able to find out what flashing your phone means?

Sorry tase25, I'm not sure. My gps is still working great even today.
