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?

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.

Wi-fi scan problem

I can no longer connect to wifi.
I turn it on and it scans for like half a second, returning no results, only sometimes it finds a few low-signal secure adress, only to disappear a few seconds later. If i try to connect to an open network it's stuck on "connecting" and then it disappears from the list again! It won't even show the remembered ones.
I tried flashing a different kernel, another rom, even trying the wifi on the stock froyo, but still same issues.
Anyone who could help me solve this issue?

Download wifi manager from android market. See if that works

Same issue sadly, can't find any network.

You have already tried other ROMs and kernels, but I think you have to flash another radio....
You got to search which radio version works the best with the ROM you use

I have the same problem. The guys from HTC Romania told me to sent the phone to the warranty, but the phone is rooted. I`m waiting for an unroot .
HTC Sense works for you?

Flashed all 3 radios specified in this thread:

Still nothing.
And yes HTC sense works.

[Q] Wifi problem ICS Vision

Hello everyone,
I have installed ICS AOSP Vision Beta8r4 (BTW great ROM), but when turning on wifi my phone doesn't find any network. It should show around 5 networks including my home network. I know that in this rom wifi is working. I also faced with the same problem using andromadus.
I guess problem is in my phone, not in rom.
Please help me to solve it.
Thanks.

Have you tried any other (non ICS) ROMs to see if WiFi still works? Did it ever work with an ICS ROM? Have you tried Taz's Desire S port? I'm pretty sure most recent build has working WiFi. Also are you full FULL wiping? Boot, System, Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache, the works?

You have to turn it on, wait a bit, then it should be available to turn on again, turn it on and it will work

I have made that before. I have noticed that it takes two times to turn on. but anyway after wifi is on ("on" icon turns blue) there is not any network showing.

Dear devs, I have installed ICS B9R1 and still wifi doesn't work (no networks), please give some sugestions.

This is a VERY peculiar problem... Are you sure you are waiting long enough? Because I did notice that it took awhile to turn on... You could try throwing the g2+wipe or whatever it's called, other than that though... this seems a very odd problem.
I will try to think of what else could be causing it but I imagine you will in fact require a dev for it since my knowledge is not extensive enough on the subject :/

thanks. maybe I am doing something wrong when installing rom (wipe is not full). may you give me link for full wipe instruction?

I'm having exact same problem, most of ICS roms have no wifi working, in last Virtuous Quattro Beta same problem. When i turn it on it sees no networks, on the last build after some wipe reinstall circles i was able to scan for wifi networks, but it never did connect. It's so sad that i cant fully move to ICS because wifi is absolutely must have for me. I wonder if someone could help us

Wifi problem is region based and some devs of other devices already making fixes
This script fix helped me http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1403801
Sure it helps u too and let's hope devs we'll get it fixed in desire z roms

ICS WiFi

After updating to the final ICS rom I noticed that the WiFi really sux big time..always dropping even when I am sitting next to my router!even more it just keeps disconnecting and connecting every minute..I tried the Wifix manger as suggested by one good friend but no go!nothing improved at all..I thought about sharing my WiFi suffering in case anyone experiencing the same difficulties or have any suggestion to sort this out,thanks alot for any help provided

It happened to me once: it kept connecting and disconnecting. Forget your network then connect again and it should work. If not, reboot the phone and try again. It worked for me and since, it didn't happen again.

reply
I've got the same pro just like u even with Acronuim ISC V1.0

I tried everything and all the suggestions but no improvement..I cant connect for more than one minute without disconnecting..hate this

Did you try to reset your wifi?. It seems you are the only one who has this problem.

Hey There,
i`ve updated my Arc S to ICS today via the Guide here on the Forum. The Problem i`m having now is the following: My Wifi Connection on the Phone won`t wory anymore. More specifically, the connection with my Wifi Router. The interesting thing is, that it worked just well, before i updated to ICS. In the Wifi Tab it says "Authentification Problem".
I`ve rebooted my Phone twice, resetted the Router, unplugged the Power Source but nothing seems to work. Although i can connect to another Wifi located nearby, I can`t connect to mine.
Any suggestions I haven`t tried yet?
Thanks in advance.

Hey josephnero,
the fix seems useful, but how do I install .apk files without any kind of File Manager or Connection to the Internet?

Do you copy & paste the wifi password?
Had the same problem and found out that during copy&paste I get one unwanted space so the password is wrong.

Hey, no I didn`t c&c the wifi password. Just typed it in again. And I actually Triple-Checked

Jack, have you tried forgetting the network and trying again? Are you able to connect to any other WiFi?
I would also check the security its trying to use, ensure that it's set to the same on your network.

Hey, I`ve tried all the possible options that are there. The main Problem I`m having now, is how to install .apk files onto the Phone without a Wifi, Bluetooth Connection. I wanted to try the fix that was mentioned earlier, but I can`t install it.

What about USB? Or a sd card reader? Failing that do you have a data plan?

Yeah, USB I do have
But still, how do I Install an app onto the Phone/SC Card? The Phone is rootet and I have Superuser rights. Yeah, and I do have a Data Plan, but the Volume is used up.

Then just plug the phone in set the phone to debug mode and allow installing from unknown sources and push the .apk into /data/app and check the permissions. You do need to have adb from the SDK though. Have a look around on here their should a how to.

SIM Reboots Device

My HTC Desire will reboot whenever the sim card is inserted in the device as soon as it connects to the 3G network. I've tried it with several sim cards and it happens with all of them (though a couple have worked for a short while, all the rest rebbot immeditely when 3g connection is established. I've tried resets, different roms, different radios and i just replaced the entire SIM-SD tray...
Can anybody think what the problem could be and a possible solution? I've run out of ideas and i can only think of the motherboard.
Thank you

Try flashing a new radio.

i've tried several radios.... same problem..:crying:

Ok, i've studied the issue a little further and this is what i've found:
If mobile data is on the phone will reboot as soon as it connects to the network but if mobile data is off or phone is in airplane mode then, when it boots it'll vibrate once and then switch off (and NOT reboot)
Does this mean anything to anybody? Is there any way I can log what's going on?
Thank you
EDIT; SORRY, MY MISTAKE, PHONE WORKS FINE IN AIRPLANE MODE AND IS ALSO WORKING WITH MOBILE DATA OFF, SO THE PHONE ONLY REBOOTS WHEN IT'S CONNECTED TO MOBILE DATA. (for good measure i just flashed a new rom, new radio and new kernel and the problem is the same)

I had this problem before, I know it sounds bizzare but try changing the sdcard, it worked for me
