Very big problem with my Desire and Wifi Connection

Hey guys,
im running a Desire with the newest Leedroid Rom. Everythings working perfect,
except the wifi network connection.
My Problem:
After i updated from branded 2.1 to 2.2 with OVA Update, i cant connect to any
encrypted wifi. I dont get an error or something, it just tries to get a ip adress
and then it says Connecting... and then it starts again from trying to get an
ip-adress and so on and so on...
The only thing thats working is to connect to an open wifi hotspot.
Things i tryed:
- Other Router, other settings, other decryption, other keys,and so on
It has to be a problem in updating process, cause with 2.1 it works and after i
update to 2.2 i cant connect to any wifi anymore.
I really need help cause i think this cant be a hardware problem, cause everything else is working.
Sry for my english, tried my best
nge89

Do a full wipe and flash leedroid again.

I have done full wipes like 100 times, also im always testing new roms,
so i was on modaco,leedroid,cyanogen and installed them many times.
So that cant be the problem
nge89

First how do you do a full wipe?
Second what is a OVA update? is it the same as OTA? And what does the update have to do with your wifi not working on leedorid? Did you OTA update form a rooted 2.1 rom?
Has wifi ever worked on 2.2? What radio are you using?

I do a full wipe with all 4 wipe options, dont know the exactly names.
Yeah sry,with OVA i mean the OTA.
No, i did a OTA Update from a branded unrooted 2.1 Desire to the branded 2.2 Froyo version. And wifi NEVER worked on any 2.2 version.
I just rooted my phone when i was on branded 2.2 version, cause i wanted to
try some of the nice roms.
In this time i never used wifi, only mobile network connection, cause i was long
time not at home and couldnt use any wifi, now im back here and trying to solve
my wifi problem.
Just checking my Radio version and i have 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2, but i dont
know why, thought i had installed a newer
Should i try the 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27?

Yes looks like 2.1 radio, try the newer but do not pull the battery during the update it will reboot twice and don't touch anything during the process. I take no responsibility for what happens and I suggest you do some searching on the radio flashing process. Also don't forget to check the md5 of the download.
Might sound a bit scary but if you follow the procedures and don't do anything stupid it should go well.

i encountered the same problem only i'm on 2.1 after downgrading from 2.2 and rom jumping. did a wipe and even tried to nand restore my original stock rom. is this a radio error?
the phone was working fine. this issue happened to me while i was trying to fix a battery drain problem, i did a dalvik + cache wipe and the battery was fixed but the wifi started doing this. my phone could still be on the 2.2 radio

Would be nice if you would post the radio version

was about to edit my post with the info, you beat me to it
Radio: 5.11.05.27
HBoot: 0.93.0001

Im now also on 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27. Still the same Problem.
That u can imagine how it looks like:
1. Wlan -> power on
2. Select my Wlan Acess Point
3. Type in my Wlan Key
4. Its says Wlan -> " The Connection is now being established"
5. Wlan -> "Authentication with "Wlan Accespoint name" "
6. Wlan -> " Not Connected"
7. Wlan -> "Scan..."
After this steps it repeats from step 4-7 again and again and nothing is happening.
nge89

Also tried with another keyboard, in another thread someone said it worked for him
with another keyboard. But not for me, still the same problem.
nge89

ok i fixed the problem and now Wifi works perfectly!
I downloaded the same version radio and flashed it again from AmonRA recovery and now the Wifi and mobile network work just fine.
I got the radio from this thread and it has the instructions on how to flash the radio.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687464

I just flashed the radio with clockworkmod and with install zip from sdcard. Is that wrong?
You had the same problem like me?

no its not wrong, thats what i did only with AmonRA. yeah from your description i had the same problem. The wifi would detect my wireless network but would refuse to connect and kept giving me "unsuccessful" errors.

The problem is, that i dont get any error.

Some one any idea?

flashing the radio again didn't fix it?

Did you try to disable any protection (wep, wpa, wpa2) on your router and then connect? Also try to disable dhcp on your router and assign static IP adress to your HTC device. I had problems connecting to wifi but after I assign static IP everything is ok.

Yeah, i can connect with disabled security. With static ip and crypted wifi it
doesnt work, i cant connect.
nge89

Then your problem most probably lies in "shaking" between HTC and router. Did you try with basic 64 bit or 128 bit wep? In many cases shaking troubles occur when one device doesn't support encryption of another. For example I had troubles connecting my windows 7 because of ****ty drivers off my wireless card. I could only use wep. Also can you check that portable wi-fi hotspot in wi-fi hotspots is disabled? And try to add your wireless manually so when you enable wi fi it should connect you automaticly without having you to enter your password.

Serious Issue with my phone(WIFI and SCREEN)

So I have no idea how this came to happen but i am currently having issues with my phones wifi. Each time i turn on the phones WIFI and connect to any network it kills both the 3G data and the WIFI data, making it so i have to reflash a new rom to use data again. Another issue is that when i turn off my screen if i am connected to the wifi it will not turn the screen back on unless I do a battery pull. Lastly if i go into settings to try to turn off WIFI i get a force close and have to reflash to get my phone running again.
Things I've tried
1.Flashed New Rom
2. Flashed New Radios and Kernels
3.Connected to multiple wifi hotspots
4. Used a RUU to reset to factory settings
5. Root and Unroot
6. Tried new SD card and Battery

Do me a favor and take a screenshot of your "about phone" information. Also, which recovery are you using? When did all of this start? Now when connected to a wifi network, it temporarily disconnects your 3G data. That is normal. You also stated that it disconnects your wifi data. Please explain?

When i connect to wifi it makes it so no data works. Ill post a screenshot of my phone.If i connect to any wifi hotspot and try to connect to the internet nothing connects it fails everytime no matter if it use 3g or wifi after that until i reflash my rom

You don't, by chance, have an adblocker built into the rom you're using, do you?
posting & replying via the XDA Premium app.

I was using CM7
I have tried almost every rom and even used the RUU from sprint to bring it back to default and rerooted it,i'm using hardware 002 and wondering if its possible i messed up my wifi when i used the 802.11n patch a while back also do you think flashing someone elses nanroid could fix it?

Also when i hit wifi it will get stuck saying turning on and wont allow me to do anything on the phone until it is reset

I do not recommend flashing a nandroid from another device, however, I do recommend flashing a different kernel. Kernels can have an effect on wifi, the camera and other things.

i flashed a few different kernels

Well, you may have to call Sprint and have them troubleshoot from their end.

[Q] Wireless problem on the Desire HD

Hi,
Iv noticed if i leave the wireless inactive for a period of time (still connected at full strength) it will stop working as in there will be no data activity at all. I wont be able to access any websites, or use whats app messenger. The only way to resolve this problem is to switch the wireless off and back on again for it to reconnect and normal data activity begins.
Android version: 2.3.3
Software number: 2.50.405.2
I have the latest software installed including the recent wireless fix that was sent out OTA. I thought that would of fixed it, but clearly not.
Does HTC know about this and any fix in the pipeline?

Anyone????

Go to > Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi settings
in Wi-Fi settings press menu > Advanced > Wi-Fi sleep policy and set to never
Hope That Works.

Oh...my radio is: 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2

The Radio you have is fine..
this can be one of the following problems
1. your phone software is playing up
2. your Wi-Fi router DHCP leasetime (google this) is too low hence the drop out.
3. your Wi-Fi antenna is not functioning as it should (I doubt it)
What I would suggest is try updating your phone software to the latest. if you already have the latest version then I would suggest you backup any important data saved on phone and do a Factory data reset under Setting > SD & phone storage, if that still doesn't work I would check your router settings step 2, try everything I've mentioned if all else fails........
You can always root your phone and Install a custom ROM. I used to have so many problems with the stock HTC rom: gps not fixing, bad reception, call history problems, system slowdowns now I am Using Android Revolution 5.2.5 with Radio_12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M Excellent reception NO PROBLEMS and a very fast and healthy phone

Hi thanks for that! I think its due to the software installed on the phone. Before the froyo update, the server lease time was exactly the same and no problemo. Its just recently after I installed froyo things started messing up with the wifi. But iv selected the 'Best Wi-Fi performance' option and it seems fine so far, no inactivity.

[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

Can't turn on WiFi

Hi guys, I have discovered an issue few days before. My WiFi don't became on when I turn on the screen. Same as if I want to turn it on manually, the switcher in settings came back to off position itself again and again. But after few try it stayed in on position - but only sometimes. Sometimes I have to reboot phone to get working wifi, immediately after reboot it working without issue. Maybe it have something to do with deep sleep.
I have tried reflash the ROM(leedroid), kernel, uninstall Magisk and now even restore stock TWR backup. But problem is still here. I'm S-ON and don't know what I can try next.

Is there the possibility that the Wi-Fi module of the phone itself (hardware) is acting up ? Just thinking out loud for a bit......

I don't know how to verify it. But I'm not alone who have this issue acording to LeeDroid thread. But I think it must be software issue. If try to switching it on again and again, after few try it generaly turn on the wifi.. From the other end, when wifi working and I turn screen off, wait a few minutes and turn it on, wifi is still running. I have the option that turning on wifi in sleep mode..

It's very strange that just a handful of the complete user base is having this issue. You also restored your stock rom so it's not a leedroid thing for sure, it's also not a mismatch firmware/software (because it's happening on stock software too)
I'm running out of ideas to be honest

Mine even bluetooth stopped too. But I will try flashing official rom and see if that helps.

I've had the opposite problem where my wifi won't turn off unless I reboot it.
I'm about done with this phone. WiFi has always been crap, and phone still reboots randomly several times a day, despite going to Oreo from a clean RUU and trying a couple different ROMs (Maximus and LeeDroid).
Sad thing is, my M8 is still kicking and is bulletproof. My son puts that thru the works and it can't be killed.

I have same problem. In WiFi settings, I always set Keep WiFi on during sleep to 'never'. After I did something with radio settings using dialer code *#*#4636*#*#, I have started facing this issue. For now, I set that setting to 'Always'. I don't know if resetting phone will fix it. I'm using official software from HTC.

I will going to downgrade to Nougat and try it on Nougat firmware with the guide I posted bellow as I'm S-On. Hoping that I not ended up with bricked phone
https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/how-to-rollback-oreo-to-marshmallow-s-t3787101

Hi guys, let me inform you that I'm o Nougat now and my WiFi problem is gone, it working without issue! So it is not a hardware problem and it has nothing to do with ROM or Kernel. It is something in Oreo (or firmware) what causing this. Maybe there is a problem in OTA to Oreo, who knows. I will take the OTA (by official way) to Oreo later this week and we will see

I'm still on Leedroid Oreo, I turned off button light notifications and volume button tweaks and I have not had the wifi problem since.

Those are totally not related to each other, code and settings don't come near Wi-Fi actions. BLN is btw a kernel tweak, volume buttons a rom tweak. I bet my life on it that its something else.
And to ensure you, i use the same tweaks. All fine on my end.

I have tried take OTA by official way = WiFi issue on Oreo
I have tried install OTA from recovery = WiFi issue on Oreo
I have tried install Oreo RUU after OTA to Oreo = WiFi issue on Oreo
But everytime when I downgrade to Nougat, WiFi wokrs like a charm..
Anyone have idea what I can try next? I think that issue is in the Oreo update
@Mr Hofs Wich version are u using? WWE? How you upgraded to Oreo? Thanks

Ah oké, i installed the 2.41 ruu and updated via OTA. My Wi-Fi is always on. I'm not using the option to turn it off when the phone sleeps.
Full setup
- 3.16 firmware via official ota
- Basic leedroid rom
- Root via SU (no magisk for me)
No modifications whatsoever.

So u updated by the official way as me (setup is same for me). Interesting. Can you try turn on the option which turn off wifi when phone sleep (only without charger) and test it for day or two? Watch on your wifi when You wake up your phone..
It might be enough if you turn it on when you go sleep and watch wifi in the morning when you wake up your phone. And your phone have to unplaged from charger over night..

Sure, will start testing it after work. will report back tomorrow.

Also maybe good to mention is that i am using a 5ghz network. I put the option that my Wi-Fi always go to sleep. Let's see what happens til tomorrow

I wonder if turning wifi scanning off, in location settings, is also a trigger. I think I didn't have any issues with it, then yesterday I turned wifi scanning off and today my wifi toggle didn't work and I had to reboot my phone to ge it back.

I've been playing with different Wi-Fi settings last night and this morning i unlock the device, Wi-Fi reconnected and it continues as nothing happened.
Sorry but i just can't get it to fail.
