Hello,
I'm running the W03 Slim on my Canadian Note II, and almost every time wifi has been disconnected for a bit (i.e. during commutes) the wifi shuts off by itself and refuses to turn back on. Pressing the wifi on-off button shifts the position of the button to "on" but no networks appear. If I leave the wifi settings page and go back, the wifi is back in the "off" position.
This has been happening consistently since I moved to Denmark from Canada about a month ago. Things I've tried, based on search results:
-changing wifi region code to Europe (no option for Denmark or Scandinavia)
-wiping caches
-taking out and putting back in sim card
-taking out battery and letting it sit for a minute before putting the batter back
-re-flashing the rom
Luckily I've found out that the issue can be stopped with a reboot or by switching airport mode on and off, so it's not that bad of a problem. That said, if anybody's got any ideas for fixes, I'd appreciate hearing about them, as I'm worried that I'll forget to check one time while I'm at home and will eat up all of my limited data.
Thanks in advance for the help!
Hey have you found a fix for your wifi problem?
I have the same problem.... started like a month ago and sometimes wifi would just work but most of the time its dead....
I have tried reflashing a stock rom ... and all the AOSP, AOKP, CM11 Roms I could find and still no go...
Anyone have this problem too? I need my wifi !!!!
Edit: ok, it looks like my problem was with the replacement housing i bought on ebay. since i first dropped my phone on a street pavement... the chrome edges were all messed up so in order to replace that, i had to replace the whole housing for the phone... everything looked exactly the same as the original but i guess just a couple millimeters off can make a big difference... took a long time to find the problem... snapping the main board back into the housing and taking it out again....not fun. So if anyone needs to do any housing replacement and you get this problem too, just hit me up with a pm and i'll show you what i did!
Cheers!
Simple fix to wifi.. apparently this phone has a faulty antenna.. bad spring or connector. Slap the back of the phone a few times on yur leg or hand. Antenna is located top back right of phone. Its a quick fix. It worked for me. After flashing n restoring everything I could think of this worked!!! Just now. Or u can search fix note 2 antenna and take back off to clean etc.. b just whack it!
I am having a somewhat similar problem. My Wi-Fi sees saved networks, but does not connect automatically or even remember passwords.

Hi,
Wondering if anyone is experiencing this issue.
Got the uk version of galaxy nexus, GT-I9250 ordered from an online store from the us. Only within the first 24 hours I experienced a time where I suddenly lost my 3g.. the signal bar shows no service. Only way to get back is to reboot phone.
After it happened few times and doing some testing, it turns out the radio just shuts down. Going to settings, about then status shows radio off. Going to the secret menu that gets accessed by typing a nmber also says radio is off. There is a button to turn radio on.. but it does nothing.
Tried factory reset, .didn't install any apps. Still issue occurred. Also noticed at random time before the total radio sshutdown, I do lose 3g few a minute then comes back.
See my screen captures showing issue attached.
The preferred network type when the radio works is shown as GSM/CDMA auto. During issue its unknown as shown in capture. Changing from unknown to gsm/cdma auto after failure does nothing.
Of course ttried to turm 3g on/off.... airplane mode on/off.. nothing works except a reboot.
I am on Kk1 radio. I didn't try kk6 as i didn't want to touch the phone in anyway to void warranty. my buddy has same phone but doesn't experience iissue. Same phone, same carrier, same city.
Any thoughts?
Maybe exchange it for a new one? My only advice

Have you tried running logcat to see if there are any logs to suggest whats crashing your radio?
Mine done exactly the same as yours and I am with Orange UK who stated I have a faulty sim card and are sending one out in the post to me so hopefully if that resolves mine you can also ask for a replacement sim card as well.
P.S I found that speediest.net knocks wireless/radio off sometimes and also wireless on mine can totally freeze as well so hoping this will be fixed asap by google.
I have same issue - loosing signal completely just with no reason very often. Turn phone off/on - works fine. I have brand new sim card and phone from Handtec, Vodafone UK.
Ditto for me as well. Purchased from Expansys, second round. It will move between 3G and H then shut off. Happened once so far. I'm using a MicroSIM with an adapter, both worked fine and are new.
I'll be watching this very closely. Someone with a Google account can post this to bring it to their attention?
Happened a second time but came back on. Attached a screen shot.
It does happen where the signal is lost, then comes back. That could happen few times before it goes down and then never comes back up at all. I used a program called signal alert to tell me when. It happens. I found that during the day signal is fully lost a number of times but it comes backafter less than a minute. at some point its lost and doesn't come back and only reboot fixes.
Bmstrong, the capture u showed me shows you lost data, but it seems you still have voice. Look at the screen I posted, u can see no bars what so ever in my signal meter.
When the issue occurs, its random, so by the time I find out and i ran alogcat, I would have missed it. Alogcat only shows me few minutrs before. However, I kept looking at alogcat after the fact and there was nothing that i could see that explains this.
I did try another sim while the trouble is occurring and no use.
I have requested rma from where I bought it and just waiting for authorization. Will share my experience with it and the store after.
Thanks,
Bmstrong, go to settings and about, then status to see if it says radio off. If it doesn't then it either your really lost 3g..maybe coverage or a different issue. In my case radio says its off and never comes back.
sorry to post a little off topic. but how do you see the first screen in the OP's post?
I'm getting this issue too, does anyone have any more information or has resolved this?
When going into the phone info screen does pressing "turn on radio" work for anyone? I have to do a reboot before I get signal back.

Luxferro, type *#*#info#*#* in your dialer.
I am on my second International HTC one X and both devices would lose the carrier signal quit often... I would either go to airplane mode, or turn the network off and on and it would grab it again. Sometimes it would be good for the day and other times, I would have to do it a few times....
I wanted to think it was my carrier having issues (MTS in Winnipeg MB Canada)... however, this has never happened on my many other devices. Now I wake up today and turn on the mobile data, after awhile... it does not connect, under settings it says disconnected because service is unavailable. I tried reboots, restart, airplane mode, checking apn settings.... on my last reboot, it says No signal/emergency calls only.
So now I am fearing a hardware issue (but I find it odd it happens on both my one xs).
I love this device and aside from this potentially huge issue.... I have no complaints, so I will ask here and see if you guys have any solid input.. before I contact htc!
I also popped my sim in and out, as of right now...
Thx in advance.
**update: it almost seems like putting wifi on, knocks out my carrier signal.... after an hour of doing the above things, I turned off wifi, went to airplane mode and now my signal and data is there (it makes no sense) and it is quite a hassle
The weirder part is, it seems to only be in the morning.... once I am up and running, I do not seem to have many issues through out the day, but If I put wifi on long enough... It goes to no signal/eventually....
If I do not put on wifi, it either does not drop.... or I am not noticing.
I've just begun having network problems but I'm not sure it's related to your situation. I'm in Australia on the Optus network.
It happened suddenly yesterday. Service completely cuts out for extended periods. It will occasionally come back on for a short while (long enough to download all my sms) but will then cut out again. When the signal does briefly come back in, the signal strength is decent: it's an all-or-nothing proposition.
Did you manage to resolve your situation? Would be interested to know what resolved it for you.
I've had this phone since early April when it was released here and the is the first issue I've had with it. I haven't done anything new to my phone in the past week so I'm finding this strange. I'm running Leedroid 4.0.0 but I've had that installed for weeks without issue. I'm worried it could be a hardware issue.
I'm going to try reflashing it tonight to see if it's a software issue.
I grabbed my brother's S II X because he was tired of it (phone having some issues that I didnt get so far, but he's not the most responsible phone user out there). Screen is cracked (not a huge crack, touch works 100%), bezel in poor condition, but otherwise works great.
Except for the Wi-Fi, which most of the time I cannot get working for some reason. It just stays off, or if I go in the Wifi menu and turn it on there, it shows "Turning On...", then stays there. Sometimes it starts working for absolutely no reason, sometimes it works from a cold boot, sometimes it works after enabling data/4G and messing with other stuff. I can't replicate the fixes. And it will also "disable" itself automatically for no reason after a while (could be minutes, could be hours).
A quick search made me realize this was a recurring issue with a few phones, not only the T989, but the fixes are missing.
It was doing this on stock 4.0.3, now I flashed AOKP's latest nightly (2013-02-22) and the issue is still there. I havent touched the kernel at all, other than dumping AOKP in there (if it includes a custom kernel then I guess I did, but otherwise I havent flashed anything else other than AOKP).
Anybody knows what is going on, or a tip to figure it out? Its rather annoying not being able to use Wi-Fi, especially since I was hoping I could change carriers to drop my plan prices by half by losing unused data.
I have a Canadian/Telus T989D, using the TLLE4 radio. I will try the TLLG2 (Koodo) radio and see if the issue is still there, but Id like to have a few ideas to try out since Im not really used to the inner workings of an Android phone.
Up, I really need tips on how to try and fix the issue. The phone is barely usable, the USB won't connect to the computer 19/20 times, Wi-Fi doesn't really work, and BT doesn't even turn on. I needed to remove the SD card from my old phone to put in this one and manually transfer pictures I took for job, to put them in the computer...
I flashed TLLG2 radio (Koodo) and Wi-Fi worked immediately after, but again stopped working shortly after. EDIT: BT doesn't seem to work on TLLG2, now that Im back on TLLE4 it works, but WiFi still doesn't work
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.

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?
