Wifi Issues - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I recently got back into the country and I had thought to update my CM nightly to the latest revision and I have run into some really weird wifi issues. Currently my wifi is unable to find any networks and I have even tried installing different wifi scanners from the market to see if any can detect any and they all fail to. Yes I have tried searching various threads but the only similar issue(find 0 networks) seemed to have magically solved by trying to add a new network and it just connected, which did not work for me.
Surprisingly turning my phone into a portable wifi hotspot still works which makes me think it is not a hardware issue but I may be wrong. I have tried going back to my previous backups of my roms and none of them seem to be detecting anything. I have also tried various radios and I am currently on the one listed below. If anyone knows the solution to my problem it would be great.
Rom : CM 7 Nightly build 92
Baseband: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26M
Kernel: CM Stock 2.6.35.13
Any help is greatly appreciated thanks.

Flash superwipe through recovery and then flash a fresh rom. See if that fixes it.

Data/apn issue in latest rom's for nordic users

I have now tried several of the latest roms and I cannot get data network/apn network on my phone. Seems something has been removed.
Wifi works great but not data.
For example it worked fine in defrost 2.3, but it does not work in 2.4d. What was changed? Also tried leedroid, opendesire and issue is the same.
This is a call out to all devs ... please fix as phone is pretty much useless without data/apn network.
I love your work on these rom, so i hope you can fix this also....thx
Update:
Using latest radio.
Tried manual APN settings from ISP.
Tried *#*#INFO#*#* and changing network type (WCDMA, GSM, auto etc.)
Tried every possible wipe.
My network is fine... I'm from Denmark, and i'm Ising CyanogenMod...

The Leedroid rom APN list has been fixed, but the uploaded zip was corrupted. Expect a new upload with working APN list when leedroid wakes up and discovers what has happened

Wireless Tether

Please help! All suggestions are welcome.
After flashing OMJ's 2.2 ROM on the first day of its release (knowing that wireless tether would not work), something has been preventing wireless tether from working in all ROMS.
I have tried everything I know (which is not much)... different combos of radios and wimaxes, several different ROMs (based off both 1.3x and 1.4x), different kernels... nothing can get it working.
I am guessing that there may be data somewhere that did not get wiped through recovery or through doing my nand restore.
Thanks!
There are a couple different updates for the Wireless Tether app floating around. Versions 2.0.5 pre 4, pre 5, and pre 6. I've had success with all of them varying by rom. Can't post the links right now, but some of the rom threads have them posted in the OP. You'll probably have to try each one til you find the one that works. One of them should.
[EDIT] I think there's a pre 7 also.

wireless hotspot for 3g works fine on cm6. it's a 2.2 aosp rom. no sense. don't ask about including sense. won't happen. 4g currently doesn't work, and i'm not sure that a 4g hotspot will, because sprint's implementing a MAC confirmation with 4g hotspot (they really wanna charge you 30 bucks a month for it).
but, 3g hotspot works fine on cm6 2.2. that's my point. that's all there is, don't ask for more.
other roms have 4g functioning, so i'd assume 4g hotspot works on those, if you pay for it.

I know pre7 works on my ROM and most other Froyo ROMs.
Pre7 only works on the HTC stock kernels iirc. If you're using an oc kernel please try the other versions listed of it doesn't work for you

yea the pre 7 works, you can jus google it like i did
sorry that I did not make this clearer in the original post but I have indeed tried all of the different wireless apps (including pre 7) with a variety of ROMs and nothing is working.
The problem I am focusing on is that I originally had wireless tether working on fresh 1.01 (based off 1.47), I created a nand backup, flashed OMJ's 2.2 ROM, then when I restored back to the Fresh ROM my wireless tether was kaput.
None of the combinations of different version of the app, ROM, kernel, radio, and wimax (and I have probably tried 50+ unique combinations over the past week) have provided any working results.
I even went through the entire ROOT process again, and still nothing is working.
EDIT: What I'm trying to emphasize here is that once I flashed a 2.2 ROM wireless tether stopped working on ALL ROMs... even the 1.3x and 1.4x based ROMs
I have the same problem... the program starts just fine but the download data amount gets stuck at . 4 and my laptop can't find the connection at all. Had OJ Rom and now running latest version of fresh... please help!

Well I installed the pre-8 version of wireless tether and it worked one night and then I had the same problem... I'm using easy tether now until I can get this thing working again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Two weeks later and I still have not solved this... any help?
Wireless Tether is working fine for me.Fresh 3.0.1 w/Netarchy Kernel 4.0.3 and pre-8 tether .apk
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I understand that for nearly everybody wireless tether IS working. However, given the ludicrous number of combinations I have tried, including everybody's latest and greatest app/ROM/kernel it is safe to say that my problem does not lie in the use of something out of date.
I need NEW suggestions from someone way more experienced than myself.
pretty weird - mine has worked on every rom I've tried.
have you tried CM6?
Also where exactly are you getting stuck?
im having the same problem tried pre 8 now 7 both say activating wifi interface failed, starting access point -failed,
Tether working fine, except I can't watch espn videos for some reason.

try this maybe
Had the issue after running ava v3.
Wipe everything, data cash, dalvik. Dont flash your previous radios or wimaxs, they arent for froyo. Once everything is wiped flash your new rom. Evio 1.1 works great. When you open wifi tether, it should ask you for user permission, if it doesnt somethig is wrong with your su app.
We need more details about your issue. Otherwise all anyone can suggest is wipe everything and flash another rom and try runnig the app. Or like someone else suggested uninstall and reinstall verious versions. But the first time you run wifi tether super user should pop up, if it doesnt this is what is preventing u from running wifi tether.
I'm sorry I did not specify exactly what was happening, but I thought that since this was a well known error for the early adopters of 2.2 people would be familiar with the nature of my problem.
When I put ANY rom on my evo (regardless of whether it's 2.1 based or 2.2) my wireless tether program does not send data. The app itself works fine (gets SU request), creates a network, it just doesn't transmit data because of the authentication Sprint worked into froyo.
My UNIQUE problem, is that this problem persists even when not using those early 2.2 roms. I have tried HUNDREDS of variations of radios/wimax/app editions/ROMs/kernels (including the latest releases) and it does not matter what I do, when I start up wireless tether it stops at .4kb and will not transmit the connection to my computer.
I have gone beyond wiping all of my data (through amon recovery), I even went back tot he 1.3x RUU and went through the whole root process AGAIN and still the problem persists.
There is something on this phone that the data wipes are not removing that is blocking this function, and I do not know how to revert it back. PLEASE HELP.
ive got mine working but its alot slower then even dialup..tried 7 and 8 and same results with both.. Tried on the AC rom and a stock rooted here (using a stock rooted off this forum which the op says works fine for him ...

[Q] Wifi Tether Problems

Hi all. I've looked for weeks through hundreds of threads for a solution to my problem but haven't found a solution. My apologies if one exists.
I am running an odin-rooted EL29 stock rom. I have downloaded various versions of the Wifi Tether app but am running 3.1-beta11 right now. I can get my Win7 Pro laptop to see my phone's wifi but cannot successfully connect to the internet with it. The wifi icon in the system tray continues searching after I tell it to connect.
I've followed the many tutorials on how to do this but none of them work. Does anyone here have any solutions for me to try? Please, of course!
Okay, so I just noticed the sticky at the top of the list about Wifi and others for EL29. All of these fixes look like brand new ROMs, though. I would rather not wipe everything and start clean if I don't have to.
I too had many problems with WiFi and WiFi tether. I actually went to the WiFi Tether home page and dl'd every version there. I paintakingly install each until I found the only one that worked was version 2.0.7. Only problem with this version is that encryption doesn't work.
Also, and I presume you are with Sprint, keep in mind that most of the newer ROMS have the Sprint HotSpot app working fully including encryption and for free.
I tether all my wifi machines to either WiFi Wireless Tether or Sprints HotSpot.
Good luck,

IF Ive helped, HIT the Thanks button.....
Have you tried going into the settings and under change setup method change it from Auto to WEXT(adhoc)
I was having a similar issue and that seemed to work for me.

I don't think Beta 11 works. That was my experience. Beta 6 & 7 worked then I figured I should upgrade to the latest and tried 11 and it didn't work. Saw a few other people who also had problems with 11 and went back to either 6 or 7. I know for sure 6 & 7 work on Stock but haven't tested any other ROMs.
The Calkulin 2.8.1 Rom can be flashed without wiping your settings and data. Just wipe cache and Dalvic cache and flash the Rom. Make a Nandroid backup first of course. I have flashed this Rom over stock several times with no issues at all. The Rom has the Hotspot hack which lets you use the Sprint Hotspot software which works perfectly and Sprint has no idea that you are using it.
This is what worked for me on a stock rom, Odin rooted + CWM.

Stuck on airplane mode * CM10 *

Hey guys !
This is my first post so i guess you can consider me a noob.
I was going to post in the developer section ( particularly the custom rom section which i needed to ) but i can not as a i am * noog * so to speak.,
I was wondering if anyone could help me.
I recently installed Cyanogenmod 10 along with trip's custom kernal.
everything works perfectly except for the fact that when i turn airplane mode on, then i turn it off, it still thinks it's in airplane mode.
So i can't receive calls , or do anything that involves cellular data.
I've reflashed the rom and kernal but it doesn't seem to work
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance
Have you tried another kernel? Also try reflashing it + installing modules if it has any.

I had exactly the same problem when I updated to HTC's latest official firmware. I think that the latest radio driver doesn't like some networks (particularly smaller networks that may be setup in a non-conventional way).
Unfortunately, I can't help you because I still have no connectivity with my HOX after scouring the web trying to find a way to correct it. (As I said, it only seems to be a problem with smaller networks so it isn't a very well known issue, although I do know other people who have the same problem.)
All I can say is that the latest radio driver seems to be the problem and without S-OFF, it doesn't seem possible to downgrade it. It seems like the only option is to wait for HTC to release a new radio which will hopefully fix the problem.

All Rom - Problem with Wifi

activating the wifi goes in and never active - tried all rom same thing
Need lots more info, I assume you are rooted as you say you have tried all ROMs, can you clarify, ROMs based of 2.2 and 2.3 and 4.x ? Have you tried different radios, have you attempted to go back to stock fully? Have you checked if its hardware related maybe bad connection @ WiFi antenna? Do you when this started? Have you tried different modems or does your phone not see any? Please give as much info as possible if you want accurate help
