[Q] Wifi 'error' and bluetooth not turning on - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I know I know there maybe threads already about the same issue but couldn't find the right answer.
the thing is. last night I accidentally dropped my T-mo G2. hence all was working before and after(just as it seems to be) but when I tried turning on wifi it says error. tried to reboot, reflashed with full wipes. tried another sense ROM and reinstalled the radio. still the same thing. is this a hardware issue? I still have mobile data working. and I have a DZ hboot. before this actually happened I used wifi ages ago. so I really don't know what caused the problem. any tips?suggestion? or clues anyone out there can point out? thanks in advanced

From what I understand, the radio is just dealing with cellular data.
You most likely damaged your Wi-Fi antenna; have you tried running alogcat while turning on/off Wi-Fi to see what's happening?

let's see. I'll post a logcat in a while. and yeah I think I damaged the wifi antenna when I dropped it

GPRS Service: Disconnected

Hi
Im having trouble connecting the internet over 3g. Im on o2 and using Defrost (although the same happened on opendesire). When i type in *#*#4636#*#* under phone information is says GPRS disconnected.
I have entered many different APN's and have done repeated wipes, as well as reflashing new and old radios! Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? or anyone on o2 have the APN's that are working?
bump
Anyone?
A smart phone without internet kind of sucks!
I know this sounds silly but you've not disabled mobile network under settings/network have u?
ha no ive not. Ive been searching for ages and found nothing. Strange thing was when i wiped and installed Defrost on its own it worked, it was only when i restored all my apps that it stopped working, so it must just be an app which is causing it. No idea which one though
any luck with your issue , Am having the same issue and would love to know if the issues is solved.
I'm waiting for the solution too...

[Q] Can't get wifi to work on G2 with Gingervillian rom?

I recently installed GingerVillian on my G2 but after trying all the reboots. and other solutions i've read on the forums i still can't get wifi to work. After rebooting once it will let me add my wifi network but it will never connect. It tries to then wifi turns off and back on and does this repeatedly never connecting. I turned off wifi sleep so that isn't the issue neither. How do i fix this? I'd love to have GingerVillian on my G2 but it's just not functioning properly for me. Any resolutions to this issue and i'll try again but for now i'm gonna restore my old OS
was it 1.5?, I think I had it work for me, when I get home I will reflash and post result.

try rebooting it
I would agree, try rebooting. Just loaded 1.5 on my G2 and the wifi works here at home.
I got exactly the same problem after installing ad free, and titanium backup..
Don't know if any of those apss could result in such behavior.
Tried Fix Premissins through Rom Manager with no luck.
Tried also to uninnstall those programs, still no luck.
It seems like the phone dissconnects the wifi after a short while.
i have to re-enable it, but still no luck.
Enabling Wifi-tethering works though. the AP appears on other devices, an connects. Also enabling traffic passing through my 3g connection.

FYI, i called t-mobile and are sending a free replacement. now i just have to figure out how to revert to stock os
Flashed with CynogenMOD.
Works perfect untill i enable WIFI, then it boot cycles.
Rolled back to GingerVillian, Same problem as before.
Flashed my radio, and now it works perfect again.
Seems like a glitch in the radio image or something?
solution: newest Radio?
So which radio would you suggest?? I am having a problem with my wifi running the radio ending in 26, which I believe is from T-mobile.
I am not sure witch Radio you should pick,
I found mine under Phone specific tutorials.
My signature shows whitch i am currently using.
Go visit the phone specific forums and search for your newest radio in some of the tutorials.

[Q] desire roaming randomly

Hola,
A few weeks back, out of nowhere, my Desire started roaming back and forth which sucks cause internet gets disconnected every 2-5min or so.
This was not during a ROM change or anything else, it just kind of happened... and it is still happening.
I had never actually flashed different radios before, it always worked the way it was with any rom I used... today I flashed a couple different radios... issue remains.
Btw, no issue with wifi or phonecalls, not sure about gps signal.
I don't see how the APN would be wrong as I didn't change it for over a year and had no issues before.
Anyone got a clue what could be wrong?
(S-OFF, CWM Touch Recovery, cm7r2 hboot) if that matters...
Obviously I'd be really happy if anyone could help me solve this!
Thanks!

Wifi error?

To start off, this happened maybe a month ago. I was on my phone just listening to pandora and for some reason the WiFi shut off. I tried going turning it back on but it got stuck on "Turning Wifi On". I was on EliteMod ICS. I thought maybe it was just an app or something, so I superwiped my phone to start all over again and flashed a new rom. For some reason when I went to this new rom "CM10 Flinny" I honestly did all I could. I have tried every rom. I even took off root and s-off and started from a "New out of the box" state. And it still won't work. Could it be an error within the phone? Or does it have to deal with hardware? I don't if this helps but when i check out a logcat of the phone, it says like wpa_supplicant not found and the javastate or w.e it is can not be started. I never play with the wifi too, barely use it and it just happened out of nowhere which is leaving me confused.
And also if it does have to be with hardware. Can anyone tell me where to get the tools to open up the phone? And the certain items I need to get it working again. I'm already ordering another part since my phone's home keys don't work either. Weird that many problems came up all at once.
Similar problem here except my WiFi stopped working on mimcry 1.5 I also get the WiFi error cannot connect to suplicant

[Q] Major WiFi issue out of nowhere?

Hey all. I need some advice. This morning my G3 (D850) dropped WiFi connection for no reason. It says the signal is good but the network info says saved, secured. It will attempt to connect over and over again and if it does connect the signal is weak as can be and it drops the connection within 2 seconds. My coworker has a G3 also and is connected to the same work network I am. His connection says excellent where as mine said good. His device connects just fine with full bars. I'm baffled. I've already tried manually selecting 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz instead of auto select and that didn't help at all. I've tried manually turning off WiFi and turning it back on. I've tried turning airplane mode on and then off to refresh the connection and that didn't help. I've done a battery pull as someone in one of the android authority forums suggested that (apparently I am not the only one having this issue.), didn't work. I've unchecked WiFi optimization - no dice. There was another post on a different forum here on XDA that said turning off WiFi and then deleting the WiFi config folder located in data/etc/wifi and then rebooting fixed the issue for them so I tried that. After reboot when I tried to turn on WiFi my G3 rebooted itself. Does it everytime. SO, I had to restore to a nandroid backup (btw I'm on rooted stock 10f) to get the phone to stop hating my WiFi toggle attempts. Last ditch effort I did a factory reset hoping for an easy fix... Nope. I don't know what else to try. It was fine yesterday all day. This morning it was perfectly fine and then randomly started having this issue. I haven't altered any system files whatsoever. I really don't want to send my device to LG for warranty replacement so I'm hoping someone can help me out that may have had this issue and resolved it. The only difference between my device and my coworkers device is he is still on 10d and I am on 10f. That could be the issue I guess but that doesn't really explain why my device has been perfectly fine until this morning and I've been on rooted 10f for weeks. I am planning on flashing back to straight bone factory stock 10d when I get home here in a few hours from work but Idk if that will help or not. Judging from the amount of google search results of "LG G3 WiFi connection problems" this seems to be an issue for several people. I won't know if it's on the software side or hardware side until I get home but in the meantime has anyone had these issues at all? People have had success in changing to Static IP but I would have to do that for every connection I attempt to connect to and that's a pain in the a$$. Also, that does nothing to identify the root cause of the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. =)

Thanks for the reply. So it turned out my phone just randomly decided it doesn't like my work network anymore. Idk why lol. I got home and it hooked right into WiFi. Gf's WiFi and open networks as well. I call shenanigans. I went ahead and flashed back to 10d anyway though.

I am having the same issue! But it is happening in other networks too...sometimes I get the phone to connect but it only works for a while and when I check the networks it only says Saved, even if I try to connect again
Having the same issue, whether at work or home, my wifi has become near useless. I've even gone as far as trying a different ROM. Didn't work.
Same thing here
I also have tried factory reset, installed a new ROM, changed settings in my router... but the problem remains I don't know what to do anymore, I use wifi a lot!! I searched through other topics but no one seem to know how to solve it. Unfortunately my warranty already expired, I took my phone to some technicians but honestly it didn't help at all...they all said it was a software bug and I should wait for an update but if it was just that a new ROM would fix it,right?
I am not very familiar with phone hardware but I assume that if it was a hardware problem I wouldn't be able to turn it on or connect to any network, right?? (any experts here???)
Any solution is welcomed.
anyone please?? :crying:
P.S : I tried a new baseband, new kernel and new ROMs. So far, nothing changed.
I can connect sometimes but get kicked out within minutes. At other times I only get the saved,secured message.
This is happening in every network
