I had downgraded back to Stock ROM 4.1.1 everything was fine.
But the WiFi is very sketchy. It stops or times out or something all the time. I can't seem to keep the wifi on.
Is there a workaround for this. I tried the trick of *#0011# and turn the wifi power save off but it doesn't stay off after a reboot it comes right back on. So I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Any ideas?

Might need to update your wifi drivers.
Also could be coming from your router.
Do you know where I can get the wifi drivers? Or is it in a Kernel or something?

updated kernel would probably fix your issue. If it doesn't though, chances are that it's coming from your router or your router's settings.
I checked my router and its working fine. There is no problems with it. I am a computer technician. So I know there isn't anything wrong with it.
I have tried several kernels and they are all doing the same thing. I'm afraid I will just have to go back to an AOSP rom or something. I didn't have problems with them...

Hi all. I have searched and nothing pertains to my problem.
I upgraded to a new rom (coredroid 7.1), and even going back a rom version my wireless keeps logging in and then disconnects for no apparent reason. It doesn't even pick up the IP address. Show's 'connecting' then 'disconnected' straight after. The one radio i have used has worked flawlessly.
Any ideas on what is going on?

It can be a kernel issue... some kernels are not compatible with certain routers to get info from them to connect. Try flashing a different kernel and see the results.
Ah I tried a new radio and Kernel but it still does the same thing. Rebooted the router and reinstalled my phone rom as well and nothing changes with the problem.
try flashing a rooted stock rom. if still cannot connect, i hope you're still under warranty and send it back to htc
Ah well after flashing a new radio and kernel then reflashing the rom, it decided to work again after I changed the channel on the router....... Confused yet? I was. So thanks for your help it's now working fine.
Hi, I'm having an odd wifi issue.
I unlocked my OneX, and flashed a rom, wifi was working fine until i restarted the phone, when i try to turn on wifi it says 'turning on wifi' forever.
Wifi never turns on again.
Exept if i flash another rom, then the whole thing happens again.
I have tried many roms, ICS and JB all with the same result.
And reflashing the boot.img didn't help.
Does any one know of a fix or some advice?
Do i have to send my phone back to HTC?
Thanks

Try getril from the market and see if you can find a compatible one for your baseband.
And now i have matching ril and baseband.
And the wifi still wont turn on.
Try reflashing modules for your kernel in cwm.

Haven't yet flashed module, but i was trying wifi direct and that works, so I'm thinking this is most likely not a hardware failure. Am i right?
Now I'm of to figure out how to flash a module.. Hoping i dont Have to send my HOX to HTC to fix this.
.... Woke up this morning and the wifi was on, i haven't done anything. But it works!
Now I'm gonna try a restart to see if it will work afterwards.
Ok, restarted the phone and wifi stopped working.
Then i just to check, restored a backup from super wifi password backup app, then wifi kicked in. So, now i'm going to flash a New JB Rom and not use the app to restore wifi passwords.
Hopefully thats it!
Thanks for the help on this dumb problem.
I bought this phone used from eBay and it worked fine for about a month.
Then the Wi-Fi stopped working. as you can see in the pictures, the wifi button (slider) is disabled/grayed out and if you go into the menu, it is stuck on "Turning wi-fi on".
I've tried everything from downgrading to 2.3.6 GB (currently on official ICS 4.0.4 through Kies) to installing Cyanogen mod ROM but it wont work. rooted then unrooted. everything else works great.
Any help would be appreciated.
I've attached screen shots to this post.
Thanks.

Yup. I did. I have other devices on home wifi that have no problems connecting. In addition i have tried at starbucks and work wifi. Still no go.
The WiFi on the Galaxy S2 wont even turn on to recognize/select networks (SSIDs) to connect to. As you can see in the pics, the Wifi ON/OFF button is grayed out/disabled.
Did you try flashing a different radio since the issue started? If not I would try it, maybe downgrade the radio to UVLI1 or even try re-flashing the same radio. I know I had this issue once before but fixed it somehow, I think it was just a reboot for me but if you tried all of what you said in the OP you would have rebooted a few times.
Did you use Odin to flash back to stock? If not, give it a try with a full wipe.
Although i have not tried to mess with Radio (noob here, not sure i wont mess that up), I did Odin the phone back to stock ROM with no luck.

When you flash a stock rom in Odin, it also flashes the radio.

Ah Ok. There you go then. and i tried with a couple of TMO stock ROMS (starting with GB 2.3.6). so obviously that hasnt worked. Thanks.
i found a possible fix, that worked for me. Go into your recovery, i did it with TWRP (latest one) and advanced and fix permissions, than i rebooted and worked! Give it a try.

To avoid any future hassles I contacted the seller and he agreed to take it back for a full refund, so i guess i'll never know what happened. Thanks for your help everyone.
I know this thread is nearly a year old, but I had this problem and figured out a fix that worked for me so I know its still relevant.
My fix was:
- reboot into latest cwm recovery (v6.0.4.3 touch for me)
- click "mounts and storage"
-click "unmount /cache"
-reboot
So far it has worked every time and wifi screw ups have happened rarely ever since. Hope this late post helps at least one person who was as frustrated as me!

My WIFI is off, and if I hit turn on, it got stuck on turn on. But if I were to back out and go back in, it would be on off again.
I'm using Kitkat
After awhile all i had to do to fix it was turn airplane mode on and off. But just the other day, I was flying so had my phone in airplane mode and now that won't fix it and neither will my original fix :crying:
I have the same problem
It was working fine stopped and did everything and still not working,
I have an issue on my phone where if my phone sits for extended periods of time with wifi off during deepsleep, I am unable to turn wifi back on until I reboot phone. I have tried cleanflashing current versions (without any kernels or addons) of carbon rom, cyanogenmod and Tasks rom all with the same issue. I believe this issue may have started since version 4.2.2........I have yet to confirm by relfashing previous version. Anyone else have this issue or have a solution?

The router's not the issue in this one, wifi on my phone just doesn't turn back on is what the problem is :S It just gets stuck at "Turning Wifi on..." and then eventually just times out.

I just flashed back to the last android 4.1.2 CM (10.1.1 stable from Jul10/13) and the problem goes away. So this is definitely a problem with 4.2.2 and my phone. Any ideas anyone? Is this just a bug?

I have seen 4.2.2 be a little picky with particular routers and their settings, so that's why I asked about your router. Have you tried a different kernel?

Yup, I've trieds Ktoonz, stock cm, and Task's kernels with no luck
I'm still having this issue with CM 10.2 (4.3 based) After a period of time (maybe 30-50min) of wifi being turned off, I am unable to enable wifi again until I reboot. I have flashed to a touchwiz problem and the problem goes away. So there's def something in the aosp/cm framework causing this issue.
Ok so a couple of days ago I installed a 4.0 ready radio on my galaxy s2 and then went on to install Jedi Knight 6 ROM (4.0.4 and radio is UVMC6) and after installation everything was working fine.. I was messing around for a while.. it worked today, I shut my phone off to charge it up real quick, and when I turned it back on my WiFi would not connect. Well not necessarly connect.. it just wont even turn on. When I go into settings and click WiFi, it just sits there saying, Turning WiFi on, and never changes.. I can't seem to imagine what could have happened to it, and I really dont wanna have to reinstall the ROM again because i just spent hours getting this one all set up to my liking...
Anyone got any ideas?
EDIT: BTW, I have tried many things.. Tried airplane mode to disable everything then turn it back on, obviously tried rebooting the phone, i have tried wiping cache in CWM recovery and also tried fix permissions in recovery (another topic said to try those..)
Nothing has worked so far, i'm about to try reflashing my radio, see if that works.. but I really really dont want to have to reflash my whole ROM.. So if anyone has any other ideas please help, i'll edit if the radio works..
EDIT 2: Reflashing the radio did nothing.. it's really wierd, the data, bt, gps.. all of it works fine, it's just the WiFi that's frozen turning on... cant get it to stop turning on and can't get it to actually turn on..
EDIT Final: Ok well, i guess nobody knows what might have been going on.. so I just wound up reflashing my ROM, which obviously fixed it.. i just had to lose all that time spent setting everything up... But oh well.. Kinda sucks nobody even tried to help..

+1 I'm going through the same thing now
I have been having this same issue as well. It started out as stock happening sporadically. One thread suggested rooting and removing my account. Problem still occurring. Tried flashing multiple ROMs and now WiFi hasn't connected at all always stuck at turning on. I have tried clear cache, fix permissions, as well as reinstalling ROM dirty and with factory reset. I'm hoping this isn't hardware failure because I just bought this phone used but it seems to be a reoccurring problem with others as well. Any NEW suggestions not given from quick Google/xda search?

I'd suggest to check your Wireless Access Point (modem or router) wireless settings for security, check and see if it's set to use WPA/WPA2, which is common on some modems/routers, change it to either WPA or WPA2 (preferred) not both, it's a known issue with WiFi networks and having it set to using both, I had the same problem before with my phone connecting to my WiFi.
Also if you use MAC Address Filtering on the modem/router, you should disable/clear that and let phone re-connect before enabling mac filtering again.

The problem I am having is not that it won't connect to a particular network. Wifi will not initialize on the device at all and is stuck in "Turning On..." state. I found more and more posts where people ended up having to send in to Samsung so I spoke with them and even though I purchased the phone used its thankfully still under warranty and they will be replacing it. The did not confirm whether or not it was a true known device issue but were quick to file the exchange for me.
sigh, me too!
Just started having this problem on 4.3.1
great.
In my case, I had to wipe system and data before reinstalling my ROM.
Though the only reason it was happening to me was because Beanstalk 4.4.2 didn't want to get past the splash screen when I tried to install it so I downgraded back to ICS 4.0.4 without wiping. Good luck getting this issue fixed. Also another kernel might fix thingz for you if your current one does not like your device.
I have a similar problem. After a while, WiFi gets disconnected. If I go in settings - wifi, i get the message "unfortunately, settings has stopped" and I can't get WiFi to work again until I reboot the phone. The Wifi works again for a couple of minutes then stops.
I have flashed various different ROM (CM11, PA) but keeps getting the exact same behavior.
I've rebooted in safe mode and I don't get the problem now.
