I have massive problems using WiFi.
If I activate it, the phone spontanously "crashes", means it reacts extremely slow and is totally unusable till restarted.
It's always when WiFi is on, just the time till it starts differs. I've tried some different ROMs (MIUI with LordMods kernel or stock kernel with vanilla ROM-settings and no apps, CM7.1 stable with stock kernel) and also different WiFis and settings and can say it's independent from an established connection, so it also occurs when there is nothing in sight to connect to.
I can't remember since when I got this problem as I only recently activated WiFi again for usage. Before I never had such problems. I accidentally flashed a zip file as a radio some time ago o) and then flashed the right radio again after I got the battery out for some time. Possible the phone got damaged somehow or is there a possibility that it's a software related issue like a module that doesn't work well with more recent radios in combination with my phone?
I tried radios 12.59.60.26_26.11.04.21_M and 12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M, same problem.
Thanks
See if the official software works, try to install a 1.32 RUU.

Hi all!
I've been using Desire for about six months and I've changed lots of ROM's without facing serious problems...
A few days ago I decided to flash a ROM with Gingerbread and Sense UI.
So I flashed LeeDrOiD 3.0.2 (full wiped).
After flashing, I immediately tried to connect to my router, in order to sync my Gmail account and to download some apps.
I noticed that although the device was successfully connected to my router, it could not connect to the Internet.
The browser wouldn't load any site, I couldn't sync my Gmail etc...
Reflashing the ROM and rebooting the router unfortunately didn't solve the problem.
I thought it was a ROM's bug, so I rolled back to another Froyo ROM (Internet was fine here), because I had to leave for vacations and I needed a fully functional device.
Now that I returned to my home, I saw that LeeDrOiD 3.0.3 was out! I flashed it, but I got disappointed when I faced the same problem.
The device was successfully connected to my router, but I had no Internet at all.
Then I flashed AuraxTremeGinger 8.5, and guess what... Again, the exact same problem.
So I asked a neighbor to give me his router's key...
I noticed that when I was connecting to his router, I could download anything I wanted.
Meaning Internet was working just fine!
I never had this problem with any Froyo ROM, never had it with any Gingerbread AOSP ROM...
Only with ROM's which combine Gingerbread and Sense UI.
Can someone find out what's going on here, or at least give me some advice about this?
Change the wireless channel
Sent from CM7
Meaple thanks for the reply!
I changed the channel from 1 to 13 and I noticed something really strange.
If I try to load any site within 4-5 secs from the time I change the channel, the site will be successfully loaded.
After 4-5 secs, nothing will work.
Which means that I have Internet for the first 4-5 secs (from the time time I'll change the channel), and afterwards nothing...
Did you flash new radio and ril.zip for gingerbread?
Most of gingerbread roms' ril are not for GB.
S-off RCMIXv8++ cm7hboot
htc-ril2.2.0131HM
You don't need the RIL if you're using the 2.3.3 Sense ROM as it's already in it. Radio is recommended, though
Thanks for the replies!
I flashed the 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08 Radio (which is the recommended one for LeeDrOiD), I even upgraded to LeeDrOiD 3.0.4 but still no luck...
It's really frustrating cause I can't understand what's going on...
Hi once again!
I revived the thread, only to mention that the problem was fixed by upgrading my router's firmware.
Hello all.
I hope this is in the right section. I have tried looking here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896213&page=447
For any answers, but at over 400 pages it's taking a while!!
I rooted via unrevocked the other day, and flashed Redux. I quite like it but am having the following issues:
WiFi, works fine at home, picked up the signal and signed in easy as. At work however it can't detect anything. On the stock 2.2 it was fine. This is a magor as 3g here is pretty slow. If I can't get WiFi working properly I'm going to have to look for another ROM.
Sound settings in menu. FC's every time.
Camera, may not be an issue as such, but does anyone know how to disable the camera sound? It's incredibly loud and annoying.
Cheers for your help, and if this is in the wrong place please point me to the right one!
Oh just point out what I have or have not done to try and fix this:
I have restarted WiFi router. No change. It was working fine until I flashed Redux.
Works fine at home, and can detect the neighbours WiFi.
I have flashed latest radio ROM 5.17.05.23
I have reflashed Redux. But did not to another complete wipe.
Have tried rebooting and hard reset (remove battery)
Fixed the sound menu issue with a full wipe and reset.
WiFi still not picking up at work. Have flashed a new Kernel 2.6.35.8 manu 1.4
Will see if that chnages anything
For me the screen flickers when I use Android Market and scroll up and down!
Very annoying!
Ok new kernel changed nothing.
Did full wipe are reflash. No change.
Flashed Leedroid 2.2 ROM. WiFi at work instantly working fine.
So flashed Oxygen 2.3 ROM. No WiFi at work.
There is something in those 2 GB ROMs that stops my Desire seeing my works WiFi net work. Any ideas??
I would try to flash radio:
http://www.mofirouz.com/ahp/?file=htcdesire/radios/32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23.zip
I hope you know how to do this. No warrany for any damage.
Cheers for the reply.
I have that radio already.
It seems it is a very common issue in 2.3 and is to do with hidden SSID on the WiFi.
Not sure why it affects 2.3 and not 2.2 but lots are complaining about it.
Will have to find out the SSID to connect
I seemed to have cured my SSID issue

Got me straight in. Once I had connected, reconnecting works fine. I even uninstalled the app to check and it's sweet as
I've been using my desire for about 1 year now and never had any problems until I decided to go back to Leedroid gingerbread rom and install the patches for A2SD+ with ext 3.
I was having restarts every 10-15 minutes on Leedroid, went back to CM7, currently on cm7 7.0.2 and I'm still getting restarts when I wasn't previously.
I have asked this question before and thought it was an issue with the SD card. Now the reason I thought it was the SD was when I was having loops of restarts I would take it out and it would be quite stable for a while. Formatted everything (SD and internal + cache) put on the latest radio rom and then put on the latest CM. Seemed to run fine for a while and then started restarting again. It locks up on the HTC screen occasionally and requires me to pull the battery.
I've noticed that it only happens when I'm using 3G internet connectivity. Just recently it tried to get a lot of updates and would start downloading them only to restart. It does eventually get the updates though.
To test this I can start watching a youtube video and it will crash. For example I just watched 1 minute of one video before it crashed, after reboot I started youtube again and it crashed immediately.
Can I stop log cat removing all the logs when the device restarts so I can have a look what's going on? Any other ideas on how to diagnose or fix would be much appreciated.
What's your radio?
My Radio version is
32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23 and I'm running CynogenMod 7.0.3
I used something else before I switched to leedroid an old one, I changed it to go to Leedroid then changed it to this hoping it would help.
Flashed newest correcspondig ril 2.2.1003G?
Thread for radio/ril here on xda:

No I have never flashed a RIL before, didn't even know what these where. I'll give that a shot and see what happens.

RIL (by System of a pWne!^)
Radio interface layer. This is a layer between the Radio and the ROM. It communicates with the hardware over the Radio and supplies an interface for the ROM so it can use the hardware. This is similar to a driver.
Whenever you flash a new Radio, you should also consider flashing the corresponding RIL for it. This makes sure, the Radio is getting adressed correctly.

I was running the RIL suggested above yesterday, had about 11 hours and no issues, updated all my apps, was watching youtube etc.. I was trying to do stuff that usually would make it crash. Eventually I turned on my wifi at home and as soon as it came on the phone rebooted. It then proceeded to reboot every time I tried to go on the internet, with either 3g or wifi, I tried about 3-4 times. Leaving it with internet off for about 30 mins, I came back to it and it started working on wifi fine. Strange. TL;DR ril didn't seem to fix it. Seems like if I can get it back to stock I can go to the shop and change it.
Well, this sucks. Upgraded from the Hero to the Desire Z 1.5 weeks ago. Downgraded it, rooted it, tried out a few ROMs, settled on Virtuous Unity and all was happy.
I used the phone in the car this morning as a GPS, 3G data connection was working fine, etc. I had a couple of client meetings, after which I pulled out my phone to check for messages. I noticed there was no mobile signal at all. I figured it was building interference, so I went outside. Still nothing. Wifi was working fine, GPS was working fine. I enabled airplane mode, then disabled it again to see if that would kickstart things. Still no go.
I decided then to power cycle the phone to see if that would help. It went through the usual reboot cycle, displayed the lock screen, then the SIM unlock screen. Then no matter what I do or don't do, about 5 or 6 seconds later, the screen suddenly goes black and the phone reboots.
Now it just does the same thing over and over again. The phone boots up fine, displays the lock screen briefly, then the SIM unlock screen, then it crashes and reboots. Whether I unlock the SIM or not doesn't matter. Within 5 or 6 seconds, the phone will reboot. I can see notification icons popping up, so everything appears to be working fine otherwise.
I have not changed anything on the phone this morning: it was sitting in my pocket the entire time. Same ROM, same radio firmware. I restored last night's nandroid backup just in case, but it didn't help. I thought perhaps it was VU's built-in overclocking that wasn't agreeing with the phone, so I restored a MIUI-based backup. No go. I went all the way back to the stock (but rooted) Bell Desire Z image I took when I first got the phone. Still no go.
I've tried booting up without the SIM card, and without the SD card. Nothing works. I'm guessing the phone suddenly developed a hardware problem. It would be something that is triggered soon after the OS has successfully loaded. Maybe something to do with the 3G radio?
There are no obvious errors or kernel panic messages in logcat. Everything appears to be proceeding normally, until it just comes to a dead stop. Anyone have other suggestions I can try?
Search this forum for "boot loop" and you'll find some things to try.
Thanks, burtcom, but none of the threads I checked apply here. Other boot loop problems more often have to do with the phone rebooting while the boot animation is still playing. My phone successfully boots and is in the process of loading user apps when it crashes. Also, most reports come as a result of something attempting to root their phone and then installing a ROM. I've already made it past that stage. I am able to boot into CWM, do my nandroid backups and restores, etc. The ROMs have all been working fine up until some point this morning. The fact that several different ROMs now all have the same problem makes me suspect a hardware issue.
Moved my SIM and SD card back over to my Hero, and everything works fine there, so I strongly suspect some hardware just broke on the DZ this morning. I'll try flashing a new radio firmware, but I can't see how that would fix anything, since the old version was working just fine all along.

Huh... so I flashed the latest Bell Canada 26.06.02.25_m2 radio.img, (up from my old 26.03.02.18_m3 firmware), and now the phone no longer crashes. I'm thinking maybe it isn't an issue with old vs new firmware, but that the old firmware was somehow corrupted during the course of the day. Re-flashing the original radio probably would have worked too, but now I have the latest one...
Hopefully this will help someone in the future with the same problem.

The phone no longer reboots, but I still had the problem of not picking up any signal whatsoever (voice or data), even though wifi and GPS work just fine. APN settings were verified to be correct. It turns out I had to go into Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Mobile networks -> Network operators -> Search network and manually re-register my phone on TELUS. Bizarre.
I had the same problem, update your radio and flash this zip on the Unity Thread
"For people experiencing random phone Freezes, this is due to overclocking, it's solved by lowering max speed.
Just flash this patch over: (link is on the thread)"
That's a different kind of problem, sengalang. My phone was working just fine overclocked to 1.2 GHz for over a weeks, so why would it suddenly start crashing like this? Problems due to overclocking tend to result in reboots at random times, and not at 100% predictable times like my problem. I did also boot with the MIUI and stock DZ ROMs, which do not overclock... same problem. Thus the root cause was not CPU speed.
Hello all,
Since a few months I have the problem that my 2G/3G seems to loose connection every now and again.
I used to use MildWild Oxygen 4.0 which was one of the most stable ROMS I ever tried
After that I tried
- several AOKP 4.0.4 ROMS
- the latest couple of versions of Sandvolk's ICS ROM
On all of these I had several problems with 2g/3g turning off every now and again, recently also the alarm clock stopped (or changing time, which i found very bizarre).
Now I re-flashed my NAND backup of MildWild 4.0, and I have the same problem.
Any idea what that might be?
I am using the latest radio version and the data++ HBoot, if that helps.
Ok - that seem to be 2 different problems.
The problems on Mild Wild and the alarm clock seems to be linked to enabling app2SD without wiping the ext partition up front. wiping and/or disabling app2sd solved the problem.
However, the 2G/3G loss on the ICS ROMS seems to persist.
I installed the latest sandvolks recently from scratch (0.13.1) and I had exactly the same problem.
2G/3G seems functional, but no internet connection possible.
Switching flight mode on/off several times helps every now and again, but also not consistently.
I am on the latest radio version, so I don't think it's that either.
Maybe a known bug to the ROM?
Any sort of help is highly apreciated
