Hello Everybody,
Lately i had some issues with my DHD wifi
my device is rooted and i keep changing rom's from while to while
around 10 days ago i had used a rom and i noticed that when i try to enable my wifi it says Turning on and keeps like that
no networks showing, nothing happens at all just this stupid message and i had to restart the phone once or may be more to make the wifi works
i thought its may be something with the rom so i just changed it
i tried several roms but it still the same issue and since yesterday i could not made the wifi back on
whatever roms i change whatever restarts whatever removing the battery it still refuses to turn the wifi on
it just keep displaying the silly word Turning on all the time now
Does that mean i had lost my wifi connection forever, is it something with hardware now?
Please advise and help
Thanks in advance
Is the battery cover on properly? It's the pins that serves as an wifi antenna.

yeah the cover is closed properly, any other suggestions?
I don't have a dhd but ibsae this thread in the main section of the app. Probably just a educated guess but ik the wifi modules might have something to do with it

The cover is properly closed, you mentioned.
The little contacts are making contact? (pull a little on them to make sure they will)
Also cleaned the contacts?

yes, there is contactspray in the market, for removing the corrosion which blocks a properly contact. Dont scratch with screwdriver or something to "remove" corrosion. The thickness on the cover is very little.
I did it with the gps contacts and after doing that i had a less then 5 seconds fix. Before none....

I bought a second hand phone and it did turn on however there were a numbers of problems with my phone, it had a power button that didnt work, unresponsive parts on the lcd and a quiet in call speaker.
Your best bet before trying to replace the whole pcb is opening your phone using a teardown guide
http://tjworld.net/blog/htc-desire-z-tear-down
Make sure you read it a couple of times and go through the pics so you know what your dealing with, find the power button, make sure its intact and adjust the ribbon cables.
Otherwise just find a cell phone repairer on a classified ad like criagslist or kijiji.

I hate to say it, but it was second hand for a reason. Ever try switching the battery? How about changing the power supply?

Yes. Start simple. First check your electron hose to make sure you are getting power to the device. Also check the battery as well as the prongs that connect with the battery tabs. If things are good there, then think about tearing into the phone.

no no, dont say that. This phone was fine for 3 months, i dropped it at a club i went to and water got inside the phone....i took it to 3 repair people and they all said the Main PCB motherboard is damanged (water) soo does anyone have any idea where i can find a motherboard?? i have no problem with costs of replacing it. As long as its not more than the phone itself.

You didn't mention water damage in the OP. You said something was loose. Water damage is completly different.
Try ebay.
Hey i found these 3 ads on ebay...do you guys think that a swap of the motherboards would be fine? heres the ads. I contacted the seller and they said the battery was used and thats it but phone seemes operational....i know its a risk, but is it worth it guys?
..need help on this one.
why swap the motherboards if the new phone is working fine. Just transfer data and you're done surely?

Reason being the other phones have minor problems, like speaker doesnt work, or some of those phones wont pick up signals and i think thats due to a bad radio flash or if i just flash a radio everything should be working fine.
can someone please clarify this? if i buy a phone with a speaker problem and transfer the main PCB board to my old phone...will there still be a speaker problem? or is the speaker a separate unit itself and not related to the pcb board?

one of the phones i am bidding for says it might not be able to guarantee a connection to mobile network (send sms,make calls) could that be a radio flash problem? would i be able to fix that??
another is one of the phones boots on and shuts off, i take it that could be a bad flash or something? its only about $20. just trying to weigh my options cause the new phones are lkike bidding for $350 lol im not that rich yet
I found out that my MOTHERBOARD is fine. There was water damage but not enough to go inside to the main board! My dad tested the battery voltage and found i wasnt getting any voltage.
i went to future shop and found a lady to let me use her battery and sure enough the battery was working and phone powered on!!! so i guess my battery was shot from dropping and popping out of phone while recording a video.

ordered these from ebay....are they any good? they look decent
Those look like the batteries I got. They were about 1/2 of the claimed mah rating. Worst case, they wiill get you running, and that charger is pretty good.

Okay, so I really need help with my Defy. A few days ago, when I was washing my Defy(yes I wash it), the usb covering came out and a little water went into the usb port. It was fine for an hour or two, but then the phone went into landscape mode and refused to budge. I was on CM7 and thought that there must be something wrong with it so I switched to the official Froyo. The problem was a bit better on Froyo but it remained as irritating. Now, when I press the home button, it takes me to the dock app. Also, whenever a call comes, it automatically puts it into speaker mode as if it was connected to the docking station.
Is there anyway in which I can possibly fix this? I really need help. :/
It's waterproof , but not up to that standard.....you might need to dry the parts before using it again.....
Try using a hairdryer
Herpderp Defy.

Did that quite a few times.
I think the usb area got affected the megnetic sensor for the docking which you're experiencing now.. I must be from the water penetration. Have you tried to uninstall the dock apk and see..

Okay, I installed CM7 for now. How do I go about fixing it from landscape mode?
I don't know if this has something to do with your problem, but have you tried recalibrating the compass?

Thanks but it did not work. I think that there's something wrong with the default orientation. Can you calibrate/reset that?

I think you should remove or uninstall the home dock apk as the magnet always triggered forcing your phone into lanscape.

There is no dock app on CM9. The phone is just stuck on landscape. It's the same thing with CM7.
Maybe this app can help you.
Although I would suggest you to disassemble the phone as much as you can and put the entire unit in tight raw rice container.
Next day, put it in the sun. (Just to make sure that there is no chance of water inside.)
P.S. : don't you have warranty left

Um, I want my phone to auto rotate again so that app isn't much help, but thanks anyway.
About the rice and sun trick, I did that yesterday but nothing came of it.
Also, I do have warranty left but I don't trust Motorola with my phone. Well, that's saying something but anyway. I'd like to give it a try and see if it's fixable at home but I may just be forced to give it in. Oh well.
Guys, reply please. :/

Have you checked which rotation options are selected at cm7 screen preferences?

Okay, so basically I've narrowed down the problem. It's something with the magnetic sensor as the phone thinks it's connected to a dock. I know this because whenever a call comes, it goes to speaker and the orientation is stuck on landscape like on a dock. Now, there is NO dock app on CM7/CM9, so is there anyway by which I can calibrate the magnetic sensor or is there any other fix?
Bump, really need help here.

Sounds like your ph is fubar ^^
You could just tell everyone it's a small tablet ;-)
& never wash your ph again :zoinks:
Okay, I've managed to fix most of the problem by uninstalling the dock app and the dock service on MS2Ginger. However, calls still get directed to speaker. Is there any way in which I can fix it? Also, I need a more permanent solution to this if possible. Thanks.
yesterday i dropped my DHD, and i realized the wifi stop working. when i turn on the wifi at settings, it just said "error", and wont detect mac address.
thingkng it just rom acting abnormally, i just reflashed over, aaand.. it still the same. so i factory reset, and it still the same. so i came with a conclusion that the wifi hardware must be broken, so i gave a try to 'knock' it and it works!
so after a small knock again my wifi dead again..
i wonder if it possible to nudge the wifi module, but i dont know where the module located,
the service centre said, they had to replace the main board and cost $145, duh!
anybody had tried to work with wifi antenae?
happened to me two days ago
Check to make sure your battery cover is on properly and not loose. I'm pretty sure that is the wifi antenna.

i'm not sure the battery cap has anything to do with this, but i'm pretty sure the battery cap was snap properly.
yeah, i hope someone had the clue how to nudge the antena,
The wifi antenna sits in the battery door, it's the little metal clip you can see in the door when taking out the battery.
You can try to fix yours if it's broken, or buy a new one on Ebay.
Hope it helped.

It happened the same to me, I repalced the battery cover and still no WIFI.
I tried using an APK named "FXR WIFI Fix and rescue" it fixed it, but after a day it was unable to connect again.
Looks like it's time to change my dear DHD
Duh, is it so hard to try for yourselves before giving an useless advice?
I just tried wifi with removed battery cover and it's scanning without giving any error.
gampangingats, if you are using Sabsa, it's still possible that this is a ROM issue, happened to me a couple of times, but system restart (full) always fixed it.
Right. This is a royal mess here, with everyone giving different ideas.
First ensure that both covers (battery door & bottom SIM/SD Card cover).
Then try a rock stable ROM (BlackICE, or something CM7 based is always good)
Then try the rooted stock ROM (search for it, its here somewhere)
Report back once you've done all that..
If not, go to the Ace Think Tank (in my signature) and post there. Resident HW expert Glevitan can help you out)
Earlier I took apart my htc one x to fix the wifi antenna issue, however after re attaching the the device to the casing I can't get any kind of audio or the lights at the bottom of the phone to come on, I have very small amount of battery power but I assume that isn't the issue and it's more of my ****ing up.
Advice?
You probably messed something up in the process. Take it apart again and reassemble.
Unfortunately this hasn't fixed it, this may be one for the insurance company

Hi guys
Need a bit of emergency help (or maybe a hug).
I had major wi-fi issues and believed it to be the usual antenna problem described everywhere. In my wisdom, I thought the procedure to sort out the connector under the back-cover looked easy.
It was! I opened her up, "re-sprung" the connector - all good. However! My screen will now not switch on. There are no obvious issues internally or externally - I think I know which connection on the motherboard is for the screen but still nothing.
The phone is definitely on as I am getting notifications. Can anyone suggest a possible issue I have overlooked? Maybe a hidden connector somewhere? Or is it off to the mobile phone shop for me.....?!
Thanks
James

Probably not what you want to hear, but was it actually really simple to fix the antenna?!

Haha - yes. It's quite obvious when you open it up what the issue is. The connector is a small "spring" that makes contact with some copper plate on the backplate. This spring obviously gets depressed too far and won't spring back to make the desired contact. In theory, easy to fix. In theory...
