I'm not an absolute noob, but is it possible to bork the phone's Wi-Fi? For the last few ROMs (MikG stock, SavagedZen stock, and Deck's w/ Tiamat) Wi-Fi would turn on randomly, scan for a couple minutes, then turn off. Other times, when I would go into settings and turn on Wi-Fi, it would turn on, get IP address, then turn off.
Now, when I jumped to the newest SalvageMod w/ Godmode, when I go into settings and try to turn on Wi-Fi, it says "Error" under the word "Wi-Fi" while in settings and doesn't turn on.
I'm trying out Stock 2.2 for a while, see if it happens again. I'm just wondering at the possibility. I have updated my radio/wimax/pri/nv before, but not recently.
I have eliminated the possibility of an app, because I kept the ROMs stock just to see if it would happen. And it did.
Any help would be appreciated.
While rooted, had you used wireless tether at any point? Also when flashing between roms, did you do a full wipe?
I always wipe 3 times between ROMs, volume buttons are worn out haha. Don't use Titanium backup, I always do fresh installs. Wireless Tether did come with MikG I think, I never have installed it from the market.
Router's good, I tested it at home and at Starbucks and a lakehouse.
Alrighty, well I ask because if wireless tether starts with errors, it'll break wifi and you have to reboot. Also did you use any custom kernels?

Correct, therefore you may want to uninstall the Wireless Tethering app and just use the Sprint Hotspot (which is hacked). This has also happened to me before.
MikG 2.2 with stock, SavagedZen with stock, Deck's w/ Tiamat, and SalvageMod 1.3 w/ Godmode. Problems started around the MikG time (not blaming the ROM)
Oh, and I never used Wireless Tether
What recovery are you using, because it almost seems like you just have bad wipes, since you did everything right.
AmonRa 2.3, I wipe 3x by hand (data, cache, dalvik, sdext, android.secure, system, boot, factory reset) and use Virus's Superwipe.
I could reflash AmonRa again, if you think that would help

Well I would try to reflash it, and see what happens.
The problem persisted in 2.2, so I flashed AmonRa as a PC36IMG. I wiped everything I could except SD card 3x, and installed the new Director's Cut. It now has returned to its old problem of turning on, scanning, then off.

Try switching kernels. Also you're sure you have the right wep key if its encrypted? it'll do that if its the wrong code, scan, disconnect, and repeat.
I flashed back to an older radio and then back to the newest one. Wi-Fi magically just worked again! Everything else but Wi-Fi worked, that's odd, I had downloaded it from the same place.
It is working now on Director's Cut, going to try it on an AOSP ROM and see what happens.. thanks for the help! I'll hit my thanks button on my way
Hello,
My Droid Incredible can not connect to 3G nor can it connect to 1X. Luckily, I can still receive calls and sms. A couple of days ago, I upgraded from CM 7.0.2 or 7.0.3 to CM 7.1 RC1. A couple of hours later, I installed Synergy, wiping the cache and dalvik and data in the process. After a day of having that rom restart every 30 minutes or so, I restored the backup I had made of CM 7.1, without wiping the cache, dalvik, and data. I then noticed that I could not connect to 3G and to 1X. I thought I might just be in a dead zone, even though I have never had connectivity issues, so I didn't worry about it. Then, I noticed the same thing at my work, and anywhere I went no connectivity. I tried flashing a different kernel, Chad's incredikernel, 2.6.38.8, but that didn't work either. Any suggestions?
You need to install either liberation or the rooted leaked ota, set it up, then do *228 option 1, reboot *228 option 2. Then go back and reinstall fresh your cm7. I would fully wipe both installs, which means going to mounts and storage and wiping boot, dara, system, and cache. You have remnents of synergy on your phone. You need a real good wipe.
Thanks for the quick reply. I'm going to try that right now.
Let me know if that works. You may want to download vr superwipe.zip and keep it on your sd card to flash right before the rom, its what i use everytime. If ive helped you please hit the thanks button! Gracias
I only installed up to the root leaked ota and it works fine now. I actually think that the phone is faster with the ota than any other rom I've tried so I'm going to stay with that at least until I get home from my work.
The ota is smoking, it is what i use also.
If ive helped you, please hit the damn thanks button!
This is my first Rom everything was installed correctly but when i went to use my GPS it does not work. Is there a solution to this?? Not trying to spam just want to see if anyone else is having the same issue and if they were able to fix the problem
Known issue. The only known workaround is to flash back to a Touchwiz rom, get a satellite lock with Maps or GPS status, pull the battery (don't just reboot, actually pull the battery), boot into CWM, wipe factory/data reset, flash CM9, flash Gapps, reboot.
Has worked every time for me.
Hi all,
I'm only posting this because I have been unable to find any answers otherwise, but about a week and a half ago I started running into problems with the wifi and bluetooth in CM 12.1. I cannot get either to turn on. I've attached a screenshot of the wifi settings menu when I attempt to turn the wifi on. I'm not even able to toggle the wifi select option, it's just stayed in the off position like the screenshot.
I'm also running into a similar issue with bluetooth. If I try to turn bluetooth on, a similar screen as the wifi is shown, but bluetooth will not turn on. Then I get a pop saying "Unfortunately, bluetooth share has stopped."
Both problems occurred on the same day, but worked perfectly until, so I am unsure as to what may have happened. I was running the 05-27 nightly when the problem started, however I am currently running 06-09.
I've already once tried to wipe dalvik cache, cache, data and system with TWRP, then reinstall a later nightly (06-09) of CM 12.1, but saw no success. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
So, I was running Kyubi ROM and loving it, but I thought I would try another ROM. For some reason it would not load, so I restored my last back up of Kyubi. Now, I dont have GPS any more. I have done a Factory Rest and reloaded Kyubi. I have tried a fresh install. I have tried another SIM.
I have run GPS Status and tried deleting and reloading GPS data. Nothing
Any thoughts?
Thanks
UPDATE: I turned off Allow Mock Locations(not sure how it got turned on) and my GPS seems to be working again.
