I have tried bot 08/2# roms, SkyRaider 2.5.2, and now the rom from the leaked RUU (and done via RUU) , but all require me to connected to my DINC to PC or AC power to temp. restore multitouch to my display.
Any suggestions???
Thanks
I would get a replacement then, everyones that i have rooted have worked flawlessly. call 611 and state you need a warranty replacement due to int power
WRONG FORUM. But reinstall your stock os and take it to Verizon for replacement.
Sorry. Thanks, I will restore 2.1 update 1 non-rooted and contact Verizon. It is strange that every time I go back to 2.1 rooted or non-rotted I don't have the touchscreen problems.
wrong forum.
I had a 2.3.4 Incredible, but then was able to downgrade to 2.2, root, and turn S-off, after doing this everything was working perfectly for a few minutes, and then I went to turn on the wifi. Every time I attempt to turn on wifi, it immediately gives me an error. I suspect its not a hardware issue, because I just rooted and what not. I made a backup with clockworkmod before rooting the downgraded 2.2, and then after I managed to root it, I restored that backup. Did that restoration screw up the wifi? 3G works fine, I receive and can make calls and texts, bluetooth works, it just the Wifi error. Also, after downgrading to 2.2 the Inc keeps asking if I want to update, do I? Or will that get rid of my root and S-off and what not? Is it a matter of ROMs? I have been planning on putting on CyanogenMod, will that fix this wifi issue? Thanks
I have screencaps of software info and what not, but apparently I can't post links before I have eight posts. I can tell you radio is 2.15 and Android is 2.2

Flashing cm will probably fix your wifi issue. It sounds like your bcm4329.ko file is messed up. If you want to try and fix it with the rom your already running, try flashing a new kernel. I suggest gingertiny or incredikernel.
Thanks for the quick reply, I'm putting CM on right now, I'll let you know if it helps out.
Yep, flashing Cyanogen worked, thanks for the help
Hello dear WFS users,
I'm facing a very annoying and unpleasant problem on my Wildfire S sinse I have unlocked the Bootloader via HTC Dev.
The WiFi antenna sucks the life out of my Marvel's battery (I'm pretty sure this is the reason for the battery drain). I have made numerous factory resets, but non of my attempts to fix this actually work. For now I keep my device in a very "factory" state, without any 3rd party apps installed, without root and without a custom recovery. Yet, my battery can hold on for up to 10 hours of NO custom usage when WiFi is on. When Wifi is off, everything is ok. I check the battery stats in Settings -> About phone on a regular basis and every time they show one and the same thing: the phone just won't go in sleep mode while WiFi is on. Now, I have read about such problems with some extra apps, but all I have installed on the phone are the latest versions of the default apps (Gmail, Facebook, Maps, new Google Search, Market, Youtube). I use no widgets, except for the HTC Clock+Weather; I have deleted all Sync accounts, except Gmail. They have never created any problems, anyway. Just for reference, I haven't messed with my WiFi router/connection.
So please help me, what could be the issue here? What is keeping the WiFi on to drain the battery even when the phone should sleep? And how to fix this? I have Europe Marvel (RUU 2.13.401.2) with unlocked bootloader (1.08.0099) - it says "unlocked" on the top and all... Should I maybe reinstall the 2.3.5 RUU, or the bootloader unlocking .exe? Please, it's very urgent! Thanks in advance!

What radio version?
You mean the baseband, right? It's 47.23a.35.3035H_7.53.39.03M, the default one which came with Android 2.3.5, I believe. You'd need S-Off to change radio, right? Anyway, I'm S-On with unlocked bootloader. Just before unlocking the da*n thing I had no problems whatsoever.
Edit: I run the stock ROM and Kernel, too. Very peculiar issue...

Why dony you try some app like juice defender and set it to turn off wifi when you want... But thats not a solution... Maybe before flashing anything, contact htcdev.. In last case you should flash some sense rom, since i see you want all stock..
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
Thanks for your suggestions, b02. Although I like Sense I'm not a Sense-freak and I'm willing to try various ROMs. But at this point I don't want to flash anything new because I have to find out the real reason standing behind this WiFi issue. I have to be sure there is no hardware problem (fingers crossed). Juice Defender would be just a workaround and not a resolution of the problem, too.
So, I have dug extensively in the Settings menu and I found something I didn't even know it was there before.
In Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi settings I press the Menu button and two further options appear in the bottom of the screen: Scan and Advanced. Next, I press Advanced and the first option to be seen here is Wi-Fi sleep policy. It gives me 3 further options: After 15 minutes, Never when plugged in, Never, which obviously determine if/when the WiFi should go to sleep. By default (after numerous Factory resets and after I discovered this thing ) the selected option was Never, so I changed it to After 15 minutes.
Now, this change has worked for me, at least partially. The huge battery drain on standby has stopped for now. Yet, I'm not sure this has been the originally selected option before I encountered this issue. Could someone please check this for me? What is the selected option by default for him/her in this menu?
Only in this way I could be entirely sure whether I have found the solution or just a workaround. For now, WiFi needs 1-2 seconds to turn on when I bring the device out of Sleep mode. I have to say I don't remember such a behaviour before so I'm not sure what I have actually accomplished. Furthermore, I think the battery drain is still too big when I just browse the menu and the settings (with WiFi on). Something seems to operate in the shadows or whatever else...
Please help! Thanks a million!
So it turns out there was some error, which occured when I unlocked the bootloader of the phone. It was preventing WiFi from sleep and therefore draining the battery. I went to a friend to perform S-Off for me. Then he installed the Stock 2.3.3 ROM + Hboot 0.90.0000 + the respective radio (7.46.something) on the top (he had this ROM version in his computer). So now my phone is OK. The bootloader info states the phone is S-Off; the "***Unlocked***" signature is gone.
I have a couple of questions:
1. Is it safe to perform an OTA Update to 2.3.5 when S-Off? An update invitation has already appeared in the notification bar.
2. I intend to try m1ndh4x8r's ROM out. Do I need to flash the 2.3.5 official ROM before that at all?

about first id, since now you are unlocked, why do u care for that update.
as for second u dont need anything but to flash recovery, and rom u are willing to install...
have in mind that u need to clean cache,dalvik and factory reset, and you will need to install google apps in order to have martket gmail and so on ...
good luck
I recently unrooted my EVO to exchange for credit for an upgrade. I decided to keep it as a backup. I was on Hboot 2.18.001 and I rerooted through HTCDev, then PC36IMG to 2.2 to get S-OFF, ending up with Hboot 2.10.001. Somewhere during this rooting process I lost Wifi. When attempting to turn Wifi on, it flickers off and on and reports back that it is unable to scan for networks. In CM7, it causes more problems like force quits and lag. I am using this as a wifi only device as a backup music and game device.
I tried downgrading and upgrading the radios, I tried changing to hboot 2.15.001, I tried different ROMs (AOSP, ICS, Sense, 2.2, 2.3), I tried redoing a PC36IMG, I tried combinations of all of the above. I also tried nandroid restore. Still no Wifi. I am using Smelkusmod recovery.
Currently I am at a stock latest OTA ROM with root.
Any suggestions?
just wondering, did u ever drop it? thats what happened to my evo shift and i couldnt do anything on it other than install roms. i dont remember the version of the firmware but there was one that made wifi useless, meaning like it would turn on and find signals but wouldnt connect. my suggestion is to start from scratch, get the 2.2 ruu stock, before rerooting check to make sure wifi works, if it does then another suggestion would be to follow zedomax's rooting with revolutionary (witch i currently have now). if none of that works then eather sell it for parts or take it to sprint to get a refurbished one.
Good luck!
I successfully unlocked, s-offed, rooted my phone. When i put android revolution hd on it the wifi and maybe cell didn't work or something like that.
Anyway I have since updated to 4.4.4 and my phone has been very slow at times and sometimes will actually freeze up for a few minutes till I reset my phone.
Does anybody have any advice? Should I flash stock stuff on to potentially clean anything off? I haven't re-rooted the device since the update removed that.
Thank you for your time.
