[Q] - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I have tried to find something about this issue but I didn't find anything I hope that I'm not duplicating Anything
So I'm running 7.1 RC1 on HTC Desire and I'm having an very irritating issue ... sometimes (I can't figure out what is the cause of this) I'm not able to switch on data connection on my phone (I'm turning of data connection when I'm not using it because I don't have unlimited data package) than I have to restart my phone and after that I'm only able to start data connection. Somedays I'm able to turn it of and on without any issues for days and sometimes it happens 1-5x a day
And since today morning I'm not able to turn on data connection at all ... restart doesn't help. I've tried to wipe dalvik cache and nothing changes at all.
Please, be so kind and try to help me.
Solution: Messed up elixir widget totally messed up APN settings ...

[Q] White Icons Data/Reception Problems

I'm helped a friend install cyanogen mod 7 stable on his G2 and he told me this morning he lost the ability to go online. The icons show H, but they're in white and cannot access the internet.
I got his phone back from him and sure enough, data doesnt seem to work.
I've followed these steps thus far:
1. Reconfigured APNs - added the one with the proxy 216.165.155.50
2. Installed a new radio - 26.04.02.17
What else can I do? Should I wipe the entire system and restart? I was dreading doing that, but I'm stuck right now. Anybody have any opinions?
Edit: I've searched for a few hours and came up empty handed, please guide me in the right direction.
Try turning off Mobile Data and then turning it back on. If that doesn't work, with Mobile Data on, try turning wi-fi on and then off again.
Then try a reboot.
If still unresolved after the reboot, do a wipe/reflash.
If still unresolved, make sure the radio on the phone is compatible with the version of CM7 you are flashing.

[Q] Wifi not connecting at all on CM10

I had the wifi issue on 4.0.4 too, where my ion wouldn't connect to my wifi after it got disconnected but it would have worked again if I put my phone into airplane mode, disabled wifi, then turned it back on, took it out of airplane mode and reconnected the wifi, but after I installed the cm10 it doesn't connect at all it can't even find my network. I've tried adding the network manually but it still says its out of range. anybody else having this issue? has there been a fix to it ?
my wifi on cm10 working great, had no problem since i installed cm10.
maybe you can try re-install cm10, better do clean install, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik and format system.
hope it help you.
Well I figured it out it connects if you change the region code in the wifi settings and that's great cause there's no need to reboot the device anymore every time.

WiFi not turning on?

Ok so a couple of days ago I installed a 4.0 ready radio on my galaxy s2 and then went on to install Jedi Knight 6 ROM (4.0.4 and radio is UVMC6) and after installation everything was working fine.. I was messing around for a while.. it worked today, I shut my phone off to charge it up real quick, and when I turned it back on my WiFi would not connect. Well not necessarly connect.. it just wont even turn on. When I go into settings and click WiFi, it just sits there saying, Turning WiFi on, and never changes.. I can't seem to imagine what could have happened to it, and I really dont wanna have to reinstall the ROM again because i just spent hours getting this one all set up to my liking...
Anyone got any ideas?
EDIT: BTW, I have tried many things.. Tried airplane mode to disable everything then turn it back on, obviously tried rebooting the phone, i have tried wiping cache in CWM recovery and also tried fix permissions in recovery (another topic said to try those..)
Nothing has worked so far, i'm about to try reflashing my radio, see if that works.. but I really really dont want to have to reflash my whole ROM.. So if anyone has any other ideas please help, i'll edit if the radio works..
EDIT 2: Reflashing the radio did nothing.. it's really wierd, the data, bt, gps.. all of it works fine, it's just the WiFi that's frozen turning on... cant get it to stop turning on and can't get it to actually turn on..
EDIT Final: Ok well, i guess nobody knows what might have been going on.. so I just wound up reflashing my ROM, which obviously fixed it.. i just had to lose all that time spent setting everything up... But oh well.. Kinda sucks nobody even tried to help..

+1 I'm going through the same thing now
I have been having this same issue as well. It started out as stock happening sporadically. One thread suggested rooting and removing my account. Problem still occurring. Tried flashing multiple ROMs and now WiFi hasn't connected at all always stuck at turning on. I have tried clear cache, fix permissions, as well as reinstalling ROM dirty and with factory reset. I'm hoping this isn't hardware failure because I just bought this phone used but it seems to be a reoccurring problem with others as well. Any NEW suggestions not given from quick Google/xda search?

I'd suggest to check your Wireless Access Point (modem or router) wireless settings for security, check and see if it's set to use WPA/WPA2, which is common on some modems/routers, change it to either WPA or WPA2 (preferred) not both, it's a known issue with WiFi networks and having it set to using both, I had the same problem before with my phone connecting to my WiFi.
Also if you use MAC Address Filtering on the modem/router, you should disable/clear that and let phone re-connect before enabling mac filtering again.

The problem I am having is not that it won't connect to a particular network. Wifi will not initialize on the device at all and is stuck in "Turning On..." state. I found more and more posts where people ended up having to send in to Samsung so I spoke with them and even though I purchased the phone used its thankfully still under warranty and they will be replacing it. The did not confirm whether or not it was a true known device issue but were quick to file the exchange for me.
sigh, me too!
Just started having this problem on 4.3.1
great.
In my case, I had to wipe system and data before reinstalling my ROM.
Though the only reason it was happening to me was because Beanstalk 4.4.2 didn't want to get past the splash screen when I tried to install it so I downgraded back to ICS 4.0.4 without wiping. Good luck getting this issue fixed. Also another kernel might fix thingz for you if your current one does not like your device.
I have a similar problem. After a while, WiFi gets disconnected. If I go in settings - wifi, i get the message "unfortunately, settings has stopped" and I can't get WiFi to work again until I reboot the phone. The Wifi works again for a couple of minutes then stops.
I have flashed various different ROM (CM11, PA) but keeps getting the exact same behavior.
I've rebooted in safe mode and I don't get the problem now.

[Q] Data connection randomly disconnects (Carbon JB ROM)

Hello,
I have an issue that my data connection (internet) keeps disconnecting randomly and I either have to switch it off and on again, or turn airplane mode on and then off, or even restart the phone to get the data connection working again.
Is this normal for this rom? is there some fix for this? For a first few weeks everything was fine, but now it is intolerable.
I had this issue on stock rom too, but only a few times, when I completly lost signal, I had to restart the phone.
Help! i don't want to flash the rom again and start from scratch again
Thank you in advance!:laugh:
No one can help? Anybody facing the same issue?
Sent from my GT-I9195 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hi, I seem to have the same issue. I deleted the other unused apns and now it seems to be better, but I just did this now, so in not too sure myself yet. Any help would be appreciated.
// didn't help
SOLUTION

[Q] SlimKat 4.4.4 and WiFi Reconnect issue

First, I've had this issue since Build 6.8. I was hoping a Clean Install using Philz Touch Recovery v6.48.4, which is the latest, and selected Wipe Data and select Clean to install new ROM which Formats /data, /cache, /system. I also wiped Dalvik.
Once completed I did the following:
Clean Install of Slim-d2lte-4.4.4.build.7.0-OFFICIAL-5979
I then installed
Slim_full_gapps.BETA.4.4.4.build.7.x-190
Rebooted and waited for SlimKat to boot-up. WiFi/Data both full scale. Everything Restored just fine and things are running smooth.
Then after running a few errands outside of WiFi Range, I returned home within WiFi range only to find out that WiFi had not reconnected. It tells a WiFi connection is available but will not reconnect to it. So I go into Setting and select WiFi and tried to manually reconnect. It says connecting and then goes back to Saved Connection without connecting. This same thing on other WiFi connections such as McDonald's or other open WiFi Connections.
I then do a re-boot and everything is back to normal. WiFi connects without issue and again things are fine and running smooth.
Every time I leave WiFi range and then return within WiFi range, the problem re-occurs. A Re-Boot and everything back to normal.
One thing I've always noticed when doing a Clean Install as stated above, all of my previously stored WiFi connection are still there. Same on Ringtone/Notification Tones.
With the problem I'm having, could it be something that is not being wiped/cleared out during the Clean Install process. Or wondering if it could be somehow that the WiFi Radio has gotten corrupted.
I have also tried different Kernels but again the result is the same.
Hope this is not too much of a noob question and I have searched about everything I can think of. Wondering if anyone has had this problem or have any ideas of what could cause the problem.
I really hope I can get this figured out. Thanks
If you don't have to manually reconnect and enter your password, then its not being wiped. (Or you are restoring it from a backup.) Have you tested it after the clean flash, but before restoring anything? What are you restoring and how?
It sounds like a Rom issue otherwise and you should probably ask in the rom thread.

First I don't know what I've missed wiping. When I say restoring, I'm referring to letting Google re-downloading everything from the Play Store.
I know the WiFi radio are in a different location but like you, when I do a Clean Install by formatting /data /cache /system and wiping dalvik, I wasn't expecting all the stored WiFi connections to still be there, but they are.
Its possible its being restored by Google's backup, but I don't use it myself so I'm not certain about that. Its also possible the rom may save the config file elsewhere. Again though, I don't use cm/aosp based roms so I'm not too familiar with any of their specifics.
Next time you try a clean flash, do not sign into google during setup. Instead go straight to testing wifi to see if it still remembers the connections. Do you have it set to auto connect to any open networks? If so you might want to turn that off.
Have you searched or asked in the roms thread yet? It might be a known issue or something a few others have encountered and know how to fix.

Ya I don't sign into Google at the initial start up after the flash because my WiFi is no able to connect. I will double check the auto connect feature. But I having this issue with other 4.4.4 ROMs also because I tired however on those ones I am amvle to toggle WiFi on but in advanced it has the region set to Europe and when I switch it to Canada it doesn't want to save the change
