WiFi and Bluetooth Error - MAC address Unavailable - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a HTC desire Z (Bell) that I had stock android on that I got second hand.
Ever since I got it the Wifi and Bluetooth say error and the mac addresses are not in the phone info.
Anyone have any idea what this could be caused by or how to fix it?
Thanks,
Chuck

So your not getting the issue now? If you do just flash a diffrent rom and that should fix it.

Yeah Im still getting the issue. I flashed CM7 on it and I still have the issue.

This is a long shot, but is your Wifi and BT turned on when you are checking for the MAC addresses?
If its off, it will show as unknown/unavailable in Settings/About Phone Menu.

My previous rom was stock android (sense) on a Bell HTC desire Z.

Any ideas at all? I'm thinking I'm going to rewrite my bcm4329.ko with someone else;s if I can find a copy. Maybe they'll fix my wifi. Found out that in the logcat it wasn't loading the WiFi drivers.

I am currently having the same issue with a Desire... tried everything apart from unrooting... there has to be a fix for this!

Has anybody figured a solution for this? I am currently having the same issue. Cm7 nightly 171
It first appeared 2 days ago on cm 7 nightly 168. I have done a superwipe, reinstalled radio and all that good stuff.

same issue
I got the same issue. Any one has solved it?

Go to your home screen, turn on Bluetooth, wait 4-5 seconds, and get to Settings and check it again

HTC desire car mode

Hi. I am currently having an issue with my phone that it keeps going into car mode on its own. I have no idea why this is happening. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there a solution?

maybe you could try removing htc car home using adb then reinstalling it
Hi. Thanks for the suggestion. How do I do this?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Hmm maybe theres something wrong with your powerconnector. As i am aware the desire starts the carmode if it detects a certain powersource (i.e. the cardock) at one Pin of its powerconnector. So there might be a hardware issue as well (slight shortcircuit or something similar). Is it mainly happening while connected to your poweradaptor?
Er, I have the latest 2.2 ROM on my stock Desire and I don't have this car panel at all. Where are you getting it from? Are you running a custom rom?

That's great, thanks.
So I take it that this isn't on general release and that the app has been ripped from a leaked ROM?

I love this rom...however, is there any way to make the gps more accurate? I have tried gps status, aid, etc. but they dont address my problem. I get a lock within about 5-6 seconds, but the accuracy never goes below ~26 feet. On cm7, stock, gorilla hd, and other roms, I always got 6 foot accuracy sometimes even 3.3. So is there any fix?

[Q] Signal dropping during calls

Hi guys, got a strange issue here. Whenever I dial a number the phone will ring a few times then the signal bars will jump from whatever they are on to nothing with an x and call will fail. However; the phone will still be ringing on the other persons end, and if I redial then it will jump into the call I tried to make previously. The same could happen again during the call. Strangely, this only seems to happen when I bring the phone up to my ear, if I use hands-free it only happens 1 time out of 10. Anyone have any ideas?
I'm using SuperNova Xtreme ROM, any more info needed?

Well, I've just done a quick Google and found that sometimes simply taking the back off the phone and hoovering everything out can help, as well as blowing/hoovering on the line between the earpiece and the screen. I'll try it out and post my findings.

Hey, I've managed to fix it, but only by flashing with an entirely new ROM/RUU. It's the only thing I could find to fix the issue.

[Q] Wildfire without WIFI

Hello,
I have a problem with this mobile phone. When I try to turn on WIFI, it looks like it is trying to connect. But suddenly turns off itself.
I tried to flash mobile (several times) with multiple roms, wiping mobile before. Nothing of this has worked.
I have no idea about what can I do. somebody knows what can I test to know what is the problem of this mobile?.
Thanks in advance

if he did our s-off guides and roms would not work for the device... it would most likely brick it.
