[Q] cannot turn on Wi-Fi

Hellow to everybody! Sorry for my bad English.
I cannot turn on Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi router on my DHD. The phone just types "error" and nothing happens.
One day before, there was a bug: I turned the sound off and put my DHD into the bag. After one hour, i found my phone turned off. I tried to turn it on but the device only made 3 "vibrates" and LED indicator started to blink and that's all! I put off the battery, inserted it back - nothing helped me. So at the end i just put battery off for one hour and after that DHD turned on. Next day, when i needed wi-fi i found that i can't turn it on.
What i have tried: changed Roms, restored from backups, changed radio to the last version - nothing helped me. But one or 2 times after rebooting wi-fi router strated working for 1 time i.e. when i turned it off, i cannot turn it on again.
please help!

Hate to say it, but it sounds an awful lot like my DHD before I sent it off for repair. After having WiFi off for a few days, it gave me Error when I tried turning it on. Bluetooth and hotspot dead as well, along with volume up button. Tried a few other custom ROMs and 1.32 RUU and nothing worked. Sent it back and got it back, now everything is working again. All I can see in repair status, is a software update to official Gingerbread, but I doubt that was all they did. Good luck with your DHD mate, I think it needs a pit stop, like mine did :-(

I can only agree with that! Sorry m8

Thanks guys, tomorrow i'll try to send it to service center )

[Q] Computer rarely recognizes USB connection w/ Evo

No internet yet in the new house I moved into, so I'm trying to use wired tether (wireless has always had that stupid No Internet Access with the caution triangle symbol).
Less than a week ago I tried using Easy Tether and it seemed to work fine, tried it again a day or two later and it took a little bit longer but my computer still recognized it. Next day my connection suddenly becomes extremely faulty, literally connecting and dropping about every 5-10 seconds.
Yesterday I tried connecting it and it took about 10 minutes until my computer recognized me Evo. Today I have left it in for about a half hour and received nothing, the hell is going on? I tried different USB ports, all pretty much resulting in the same thing. My cables fine because my little LED light on my phone lights up and charges, but the computer never recognizes nor does it even make the notification noise
I tried checking Device Manager just today and never before so I don't really know what my phone is supposed to show up as. Regardless I don't think it's there.
Any ideas?

Update: yesterday my evo was sort of recognized after being connected to my computer for nearly 45 minutes, my phone brought up the option of choosing between charge, disk mount, tethering, etc, but my computer gave an error message about device drivers not being installed, i tried to search device manager to uninstall the drivers but it wasnt listed, seems like a paradox..

Is it charging ok? Kinda sounds like your USB port may be borked.

I get that from time to time aswell.. and I've also noticed everytime I take my phone out of sleep mode while its charging via computer, it asks me if I want to Charge/Sync/Disk Drive/USB Tethering.. is that normal?

WIFI Problem

I've had my Xperia Play for a little while now and this is my first problem I've had with it. I held down the power button to turn it off and waited for a while. I then took out the battery and looked at the IMEI code and the Serial Number and then placed back in the battery back in the phone. It then rebooted and said I was connected to my WIFI connection but the time and date were wrong. It also came up showing 2 missed calls from earlier in the day.
I went into the settings and turnt on and off WIFI but still no luck. I've also tried rebooting my phone multiple times and have had the same outcome. I can use the browser on my phone but can't connect to things such as the android market or youtube. So the phone comes up with a WIFI symbol at the top of the screen but I can't go on anything apart from youtube and the market. Any suggestions?
Please Help me as this is really annoying.

Exactly the same problem I had before, I can't remember what I did to fix it, if you come up with a solution post it please, weird thing is this issue started as I was going to read this thread.

I wasn't paying much attention when I fixed this but I think I might have fixed it by turning off the option in time and date settings that uses internet values. Then the time swt itself and then I just turnt it back on. Its working fine now. Very strange.

HELP: Phone shows USB connected/Charging, when not plugged in

I've got a samsung epic 4g Touch on the sprint network. the phone randomly shows the USB connected/MTP message in the status bar when the phones not plugged in. when i try to reset it in this situation, it shows the battery-charging screen, and wont restart untill i yank the battery. after which it runs normal again.
any ideas whats causing this?

what rom are u running?? have u tried booting into recovery and doing a wipe??

I had this same problem, I think it had something to do with the power where I was staying. I was charging it in a hotel and it did this all day, took it out to my car charged it for 30 minutes and it fixed it. My guess is some type of brown out, or power failure in the middle of the night that caused it to charge abnormally

Bluetooth issues.

I was wondering if anybody has any issues with bluetooth not been able to reconnect or just not sending sound to the bluetooth device, sometimes on mine I have to reboot the phone cause the BT doesn't turn off....

So I am not the only one this is happening to.
I have the Telus variant of this phone, stock. Talking to their tech support, they would have you believe that this is only happening to you.
When phone is first turned on, bluetooth works fine for trip into work. I turn bluetooth off when I get to work and leave the phone on for the day.
I turn bluetooth back on when leaving work and it is intermittent weather it will connect or not. If you go to the bluetooth screen and tap to turn on bluetooth, it shows "turning on..." but does not turn on, no check mark in the check box. After about 30 seconds it stops trying.
At other times it shows it is on and connected to my speaker-phone. When I get an incoming call, the phone will ring instead of the speaker-phone. If you try to answer using the phone you get nothing because it is connected to the speaker-phone but not transmitting.
I am on my 3rd bluetooth speaker-phone, 2 blueant S4's and a Jabra freeway. I have had connection issues with all devices.
I have sent my phone into Telus repair twice and they did a factory flash the first time. The second time I was given a refurbished S2X. The problem is still there even on the replacement device.
The connection issues don't seem to have any consistency factors, ie after running a certain app and it is hard to recreate for Telus staff at store when trying to show the problem.
Lately if you try multiple times to turn on bluetooth when the connection issue is happening, the phone will lock up and turn itself off. At this point I have to remove and re-install the battery or the phone won't turn on.
We have a hands free driving law in Ontario so I need bluetooth to work.
I hope Telus and Samsung can get their heads together to sort this out. I am really starting to get frustrated with this problem.
