I thought I'd try out a USB Host Mode patched kernel (even though my new Note II should be here Monday) but that stopped the wifi working for some reason. I tried flashing another kernel (no host mode) to fix it and the wifi is now working but shortly after booting the signal disappears completely.
It's fine when the phone boots and can ring/access the net but very quickly I get "No service". I also flashed a new radio just in case and still not working,
I'm running CM7 on it, tried flashing Tiamat kernel and ManU but both do the same. Any ideas how to fix it?
Hmm, even going back to the host mode kernel I tried first isn't giving me signal now. I did start to think it might just be a coincidence and be something to do with an upgrade I ordered today but my old Kaiser is working with my SIM card.
Odd.
I reflashed the CM7 zip and its working again now.

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:

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
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.
taob;15238893I'll try flashing a new radio firmware said:
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.
I have just recently flashed JVR guys, and what seems to happen with the phone if I turn on the WIFI from Touch Wiz slide menu on home screen sometimes phone gets rebooted.
Now, on the other hand if I turn on the WIFI from settings menu phone acts normal.
Phone was rooted with CF,
I then went back to JV5 with JVQ Euro version from Ramad same problem happens again, somehow touch wiz slide menu fails on WIFI.
Any ideas that I can rebuild this package with root commands or even fixing it.
By the way I already tried re-flashing so that does not work.
I went to the authorized dealer ) they were using the same Odin as I do same problem happened, no hardware problem they found.
tr posting in the right section and try changing the kernel
try galaxian
weird
I only face this wifi problem on JVS. It connects and disconnect from time to time. it's like every one or two mins, it disconnect by itself, which is annoying. doesn't happen tho when I flashed back to JVR using Odin.
I also flash JVR with CF-Root no issue at all for Wi-Fi. Try superclean script http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166954 and tick re-partition when reflash
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.
Hello:
My wifi is not working, on the menu on cM9 it just have this stupid message "Turning wifi on" and nothing happen... In other mods it says "wifi error", its not grayed but it says it. If I switch on it goes back to off with the same message.
My phone felt and I had to get the screen changed but it started BEFORE. Bluetooth seems to work.
Tried basically anything I found on google::
-CUstoms (CM7 and 9, WC) and stock roms w/ full installs with wipe/factory reset and so on
- So-called "forcing wifi" aps
-*#*#526#*#* dial on the phone.
So its not lupus ...
ANY help is welcome. Im starting to think its hardware, any way to be sure?
I had this problem once on CM9 but I think a reboot fixed it. Not sure though.. Anyway your problem is worse if flashing other ROMs doesn't fix it.
Also, use the Q and A section in future please
