WiFi on G3 is giving me headache...
It wont work at all....wifi icon from a drop down menu is not responding.
Wifi Icon in the settings menu is grayed out.
I cant see available wifi networks.
Phone randomly restarts itself...
The phone was serviced and new battery was installed...
Funny part is that when i brought phone to service the technician tried wifi and it worked like a charm.
No hiccups,no freezing,no restart. NOTHING. I tried it myself and it worked too.
I brought phone back home and voila...same issues all over again...freezing,wifi not working etc,etc.....
I tried to flash 30b,30v,30n its all the same......
I tried different home router and the problem remains.
Anyone have any ideas? Is it hardware related issues?
It was faulty hardware, you should guarantee it.

I'm really hoping this isn't a hardware issue as I would dread having to go get my EVO replaced and restore everything to how i have it, but I'm having an odd problem.
WiFi randomly stops working after a reboot sometimes. I turn it on, it scans for about 4-5 seconds, says "Unable to scan for networks" and then WiFi turns off. The only way I can solve it is by flashing back to flipz' stock rooted ROM. Reboots won't solve it, battery pulls won't solve it, turning on and off different networks won't solve it, nothing. Has anybody else had this issue or know how to fix it? Thanks guys.
did you update your firmware/software? the sprint rep had be update EVERYTHING before activating my phone.
yep. problem still occurs
After 2 days of testing I've narrowed it down to being either a setting or a corrupted system file from a backup. Hopefully it won't show up anymore.
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
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.
Hi
I got a used galaxy S3 for cheap, but wifi was not working on it. Turns out it was the antenna cable inside the phone, so I replaced that part, but it still didnt work. I downgraded the software from 4.1.1 to 4.0.4 (via ODIN), and wifi worked, so I left the phone alone for a few hours. Then I started using the phone and downloaded a few apps then all of a sudden wifi stopped working, and the phone won't connect anymore. Tried rebooting, reflashing, going to *#0011# and turned off wifi power saving mode, but still didnt work. WHen I enable wifi or bluetooth, the I/O switch gets greyed out and it just says "Turning On..." . Anyone know what the issue is? Could it be a hardware problem (wouldnt think so because it worked for a bit).
thanks!
No one has experienced this problem on their phones?

Kernel issue. WiFi drives are built into the kernel. Flash anoher stock kernel if your on stock or flash aosp kernel if not on stock

I'm experiencing similar trouble with my s3 the wifi never turns on. I've only started having this issue since I got a factory reset done because of some other trouble and now I'm sick with this new issue.
Did you find anyway to fix it yet. 923
Hi everyone,
I'm running into what seems to be a common issue with this phone - getting a no service error. This started happening after I turned my phone on this morning, and I don't recall changing anything that could have caused this.
When I look at the testing menu, the network status flickers between no service and emergency calls only. The network mode defaults to "Unknown", and when I try to change it to anything else it will return back after a second. The radio status is set to off, and if I click the button to turn it on, it does not appear to do anything. I've tried rebooting my phone several times, pulling the battery, reseating the SIM card, clearing the cache, but nothing I've tried so far seems to work.
Is there anything I can do that minimizes destruction (clearing all data or doing a reflash) to get this working?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I'm not sure what I just changed, although my phone decided to connect to the network... Huh!
