Hi All,
My WIFI and Bluetooth have completly died, I have tried various ROMS with no effect and flashed back to Stock RUU with th esame results, a LOG cat shows failed to load driver as the error. What I was wondering is does anyone know where the chip is for the WIFI and Bluetooth ? I assume on the mainboard, but thought I would check.
Thanks
Dave
My usual advice, check the battery cover that it's properly seated.
Sent from a dream.
Thank's I have double checked that again now I am begining to wonder if it is a dodgy flash or the system partition is corrupting. I have taken a logcat of the system booting and finally trying to enable WIFI and it seems to have lots of permission errors. I am just re qiping everything again and testing.
I have also noticed the volume buttons have stopped working so, I have ordered a new mainboard Flex cable also hoping it may fix the WIFI as the connectors for the battery cover are on this (http://www.tmart.com/LCD-Flex-Cable...C-Desire-HD-Inspire-4G-G10-A9191_p161463.html)
Resolved?
Hi, did you resolve this problem? Got the same a few days back. No WIFI, no BT and no vol up.

I can see on many forums and google searches that many have the same problem as me: Volume button doesnt work, and bluetooth and wifi cant be turned on. Wifi gives "error" message.
It started after I installed latest coredroid. But I've tried many other things now: All wipes and formats, miui, cyanogen and stock rom, new radios - no solution.
Anybody knows what the solution is?
i have seen that exact problem with an overheated dhd...
did you leave it someplace very warm? Maybe forgot the phone inside the car on a very warm day?
in my case it went to htc for repairs
The exact same happened to me dude. Volume up, bluetooth, 3g hotspot, WiFi not working. When it happened, I had been on 3g only for a couple of days and had used it quite a bit for navigation. Tried other custom and stock ROMs but those features were dead.
Got it fixed on warranty though - no idea what happened, the status page just claimed they had upgraded firmware but I know that's not true, as I had tried that myself.
Anywho, if it's still under warranty, send it off to get fixed, it's definitely some hardware issue.
If you tried several ROM with same error, your hardware has been in trouble. Bring it back to the shop
Hello,
So, i got a wildfire s around 2 weeks ago, rooted and cwm-ed it in the first hours and been playing with it since then.
A few days ago i decided to try gps; surprise, it did not work! GPS Status app shows no satellites, while on another phone it shows ~7 in the same location.
I tried close to all the fixes available around here, flashed several roms (ones that worked, most sense based are stuck at htc logo anyway), manually edited values like SUPL_PORT, flashed latest radio, nothing works! I even get no connection on stock rom.
The phone is pretty banged up, is it possible the internals got damaged/desoldered/disconnected?
Since this issue arrived precisely after settling on a rom that's stable, my urge to test it against some bricks reaches critical limits
Any ideas? Beer will be served to honor those who help
Seems it's just me to find a fix. The problem was with the mainboard connector, the pins making contact with the antenna were dirty/bent downwards. Cleaned them up, lifted them up a bit and now i get perfect signal.
:good:
Hi !
Seems that I may have the same problem. My gps stopped working as I still used the original ROM (before any flash or bootloader unlocking). I tried several custom ROMs, but none of them fixed the gps signal.
Can you explain more accurately how you did fix yours ? Where on the phone are located the mainboard connector and the antenna you're talking about ?

I'm also searching for an additional explanation/illustration.
Thanks in advance!
I have some questions. (Copy from the old thread)
1. I mean that i read it here, but I'm not sure. At the moment I have very often the bug, that the volume button not works. Mute works, but louder and quieter not. I don't know when it doesn't work, but after a while no function.
2. Since a few days I have the wifi problem, that wifi works sometimes and after a while too, it shows empty bars and shows the connection but it doesn't work. In other case if I start the radio he can't find any WiFi. Why?
3. Since a few days the touchscreen doesn't work. I have set, that i can See if i touch. Then it shows a point. so i can see that the touch works, but there is no reaction. After a minuten the radio shows the bootlogo and have a loop. So i have start the radio new with reset or power off from the car.
4. Since a few days if i turn off the key normally all lights form the radio and display shut down. Additionally board computer shut down too after a few seconds. Now the light from the dvd tray is on and board computer too (after a lock from the car too). I dont know why but I don't know if that is so good (Battery).
All this errors are since a few days. I tried to do any settings but the problem is always here. Does anyone no about that? I think it's an app, but I don't know which one. The last chance (if I get no solutions) is to install another rom? That is really crazy, because it's only since a few days. The days before it works perfect.
I have JY 2.73 with the Malaysk Rom from September (1024).
Thanks
Update: Now i installed 2.59 JY and tried again. WiFi will always gone with no bars. So i turn off and turn on again. At the most cases it works. But the problem is here again. The same with the touchscreen crash. 3G doesn't work. always no bars.
So the previous MCU doesn't work again. Maybe a software error.
Could you please try to measure the voltage alignedto the HU while you encounter those problems? I rellay mean at the radio side (so not at the battery poles).
Such issues could be lack of voltage. If not and flashing does not solve it could be a defective unit.
Just to ensure: You flashed Firmware AND MCU? AM I right wit this assumption?
If not: Try to flash a new ROM first (probably try Malaysk ROM)
Btw: Moved to Q&A

Thx for answer. How can i measure that? Do you know which cable it is? And if the cable shows not the 12V? What can i do to fix the problem?
Sure. I have Malaysk Rom and the MCU JY 2.59.
you would have to get amulti- or vooltmeter and attach that between plus and ground pins at your HU.
If you don't know how you should eigther try to follow another way first if possible or ask someone to do it for you (it's electrics)

Thanks. I ordered a multilmeter. Maybe it's the battery. At the moment the car works really hard if I start it. The radio takes so much battery but the radio is off. So that can be the problem.
low voltage can cause many weird problems but you have to know a new battery might not solve your problem!
If you have low voltag while the engine is ruunning then you have a different problem. eighter there is a connection issue somewhere on the path the energy takes from battery and generator to the HU or your generator might have a problem. But that is open to check when we know if it really is a voltage issue.
Hi,
i'd like to give you an update for my problems. Since the last days I have the problems, that my car didn't start. Now we see, that the battery is nine years old. Now I charged the battery (tomorrow I'll get a new battery) and the first test shows WiFi works for 3 minutes. I know - that's not a lot, but I only can try if I have the new battery. 3G doesn't work - always the same. But that's not so important for now.
At the moment I don't have the volume error. I will test it, If i have a longer car drive.
The problem with the touchscreen is actually. Since a few time, after few minutes the touchscreen is bricked and I see the points that i touch it, but I can't click anything. If I touch ten times, twenty times or often then radio shut down and shows the boot logo... forever... it doesn't boot again. So I have to make a hard reset.
And the last point with the light board computer and the light dvd slot after plug off the key is actually too. It don't shutdown the lights on the standby time from 10 minutes (set it to 10 minutes). I know now, that I can shutdown it completely if I press the volume button for 3 seconds. Than it's turn off. So it's a setting problem from the firmware?
Today I plug in the key - nothing. Radio doesn't start. So I looked behind the radio and saw, that one thin cable is not in the wiring harness and I can see the wires on the cable. So I tried to put it in the wiring harness again. I hope it works longer now. I wrote carjoying and ask for a new wiring harness. Maybe all problems will be fixed, If i have a new.
Hello again,
now I've got a solution for the wifi problem. I've tried to connected wifi - i Known that doesn't work only few seconds and after a few seconds it shows 0 bars on wifi... now I disconnected my 3g stick and LOOK it works... full bars, no losing connection. I connect 3g again and the same problem after a few seconds.
So th3 3g stick (E1750 from Huawei) makes some problem OR the usb cable?
Huawei E355 also not working. Same connection problems with malaysk rom MTCD
Any suggestions?
Hello,
I have spent many hours attempting to solve the ongoing problem of the wifi button not responding but remaining gray when touched. Here is a quick chronology of symptoms and attempted fixes. I love everything else about the phone, especially the size, but am close to throwing my hands into the air. If anyone has any suggestions as to a Rom that may finally fix this, please let me know!
Wifi worked fine on phone for about 6 months, then became unreliable, not connecting after being out of range and coming back into range of wifi stations. I was usually able to force it to come on by a reset, pulling battery, turning off mobile data and calling *#0011# and turning wifi power saver off and on several times.
After this would no longer work, I rooted phone with CF-Auto-Root-jfltetmo-jfltetmo-sghm919.tar.md5 , was able to use wifi for a day or two, then nothing would force it on.
Tried multiple custom roms, including CM11 kitkat and CM12 Lollipop, same results, I would originally get wifi to fire up and connect, but after a day or two max, nothing.
Have flashed stock kernel for modem, nothing.
Took back of phone off, unplugged and plugged in blue antenna wire, nothing.
Recently flashed M919UVUFNH7_STOCK_ROOTED_DEODEX_KNOXLESS along with NH7_modem.tar.md5, wifi worked a little while, and as usual, wont respond to any resets, battery pulls, etc.
Thanks for any help you may be able to afford.
ive been having the same issue or a month or so now... cant seem to find a sulution anywhere. I too tried multiple roms, even the new 6.0 . I cant imigine its the wifi antennae because it works fine when it wants to... gettin frustrated with it.

Need more info....did you try to just Odin the official firmware yet?

I agree, flashing stock firmware is one of the first things that should be done in this case

I have a suggestion. Use the following link to get latest T Mobile firmware for the phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=
Sometimes it takes flashing the firmware twice for the full install of the radio to take properly.
To begin, remove the back of the phone, because your going to remove the battery after the first flash.
Boot into download mode by holding the volume down and power.
Assuming you know how to use Odin, before starting the first flash, unchecked the auto reboot option.
After Odin has reached the point of RESET, unplug the cable, remove the battery... Replace the battery, reboot into Download mode and
repeat the process, leaving auto reboot checked this time.
You are now completely stock. Your data will be basically left untouched.
Good luck.

Have you tried cleaning the hardware contacts on the antenna? I remember this same scenario on my old HTC Desire... the antenna contacts were dirty IIRC and they needed cleaning.
Wow, so I am not the only one still facing this issue! I flashed this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2539361 a few times and I eventually noticed the wifi issue as well.
Baseband: M919UVUF0H3
Kernel version: 3.4.0-2437203 [email protected] #1
Build number: KTU84P.M919UVUF0H3
Here's what I attempted:
1. Did a full wipe on the phone and installed full firmware 4.4.4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...mware-firmware-kernel-modem-recovery-t3193835
2. Flashed stock kernel from the same link above
3. Installed SuperSU, flashed TWRP
4. Installed and ran TriangleAway to clear KNOX counter
Same issue as OP--at first wifi would work but the connection would not stick and I was unable to activate the wifi button anymore. I tried uninstalling KNOX but I get an error "Failed to create KNOX mode." When I reboot into TWRP, I get the message "E: failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)."
I discovered that my EFS folder is empty. I don't have a backup. Could this be related to the wifi issue? Am I screwed?
Finally got the wifi working. Took the white shell that covers the board off and cleaned the contact on the shell with a q-tip and isopropyl, but it looked kinda scuzzy so I scratched it a bit to expose bare metal again. Then I went to the board side and pulled up on the tiny piece of metal that springs to make contact, enough to bend it to a steeper angle for better contact. Wifi and BT working steady for over an hour now. Thought id share.

Heres a link with pics of the locations of the antennas
Edit:
though the wifi worked briefly after this, it stopped working shortly afterwards... back to square one...
Hey guys,
After I broke my display a few weeks ago i bought a replacement screen + digitizer and repaired it. I also changed the battery. Everything worked fine afterwards.
Mobile connection, gps, speaker, camera, fingerprint reader, everything. Just the wifi doesnt seem to get a propper signal.
I have to stand right infront of the router for it to find the connection and even then its not stable.
Before the repair everything worked fine. I guess it has to be a problem with the connection from the wifi
module to the antenna? But i cant seem to figure out where the contacts are to check.
All the pins at the backside of the motherboard which connect to the battery case seem alright.
I looked for this problem on and I found a few people who had a similar problem but no solution
other then clearing the network cache or factory resetting which didnt help for me.
Another idea i had after looking for a solution for other phones aswell was that I might have accidentally switched 2 screws around on the upper motherboard because some of those create a connection aswell right? Gonna look at them the next time i have time to open it up.
I have oxygen with twrp and rooted it with magisk if that information is needed but i dont think its a software problem because it was working fine before.
Thankful for any kind of help.
I had some time opening it up again. All the right screws are in the right places and the antenna cable is also plugged in correct on both sides.
Any help regarding where the wifi connects to the antenna at the back of the phone or help in general?
Thanks already
Same problem on my OP3T, I've only opened it to replace camera, earpiece and loudspeaker.
Also bluetooth does not work and GPS is slow to get position.
I don't know what to do. It seems an antenna problem.
Any idea?
