Something odd is going on with my phone. Last night and this morning on 6.2.1 XE my WiFi worked fine, then I turned it off while on my way to work and now I can't get it to turn back on. Just gets stuck at "Turning Wi-Fi on...". Already rebooted, wiped dalvic + cache, and fixed permissions.

I've flashed both the battery percent mod and the volume wake mod.

[HTC Sensation] howetechnical:
Just adding that I've restored from my nandroid backup just after first install, didn't help, and then re flashed the firmware. No dice. I then cleaned the contacts on my back cover, still no wifi. Any other ideas? My advanced settings don't even show a mac address for the WiFi device.
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
Can you open a terminal window? Or ADB on your computer, with USB attached.
[HTC Sensation] idtheftvictim:
Has anyone NOT wiped coming from 6.1.1? I hate setting everything back up...
[HTC Sensation] howetechnical:
I can do both. What commands are you thinking?
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
Last time I superwiped was 5.0.2XE. :D

---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 PM ----------

Type

ifconfig

And post it back up on here.
[HTC Sensation] howetechnical:
Ifconfig in terminal emulator returns nothing, just carriage returns.

EDIT: Adding that the same happens from "adb shell ifconfig". Just a carriage return, no eth0 or wlan0 data (not sure which it is in Android)

EDIT #2: Whoa, it seems that my interface(s) have gone missing. After doing an "adb shell ls /sys/class/net", I get the following output, the only one I recognize as being the loopback interface:

dummy0

gannet0

ip6tnl0

lo

rmnet0

rmnet1

rmnet2

rmnet3

rmnet4

rmnet5

rmnet6

rmnet7

sit0
[HTC Sensation] duskom:
Yes. You can go without wipe
[HTC Sensation] iceshark:
So if I am running regular 3.24, why would I want to load todays Revalution 3.24???? Is there a good advantage? Just asking.
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
But loopbacks are also used by programs installed on sdcard. Loop1 Loop2, and so on. You can't tell that way. My fault. Can you open a terminal window on your phone?
[HTC Sensation] howetechnical:
Sure can, what besides ifconfig should I run?
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
ifconfig won't show in adb term. Try it in terminal emulator on your phone, and read back if you can. EDIT: We are looking for the wlan0.
[HTC Sensation] howetechnical:
Su

Ifconfig wlan0

No such device
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
all lower case. ifconfig
[HTC Sensation] howetechnical:
It was, the xda mobile app capitalizes all first letters. Everything was lowercase. Just ifconfig does a carriage return, no data displays.
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
Not showing eth0 or wlan0.

Try

ifconfig wlan0 up
[HTC Sensation] howetechnical:
app_131@android:/ $ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH

[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
type

dmesg

Scroll down, and see it you see the wlan0 installed.

EDIT: Do you have Barnacle Wifi Tether installed?
[HTC Sensation] howetechnical:
No wifi tether is installed besides the HTC one that comes with the ROM, if that's even on this one (haven't checked).

Nothing about wlan0 at all in the output. All I see about any wireless lan is a repeat of this frequently:

[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
You've got a timeout on the sdio_register_driver. Do you have Barnacle Wifi Tether installed? Also.... Is this a fresh install of 6.2.1?
[HTC Sensation] howetechnical:
No barnacle or any other tether other than what comes with the ROM. It's a restore from a nandroid backup from this morning when WiFi was working. All that was done was a titanium backup restore of my previous apps, no system data. All are 3rd party. But again, the WiFi worked this morning even after the original titanium restore which is just before I made the nandroid backup (there was a reboot or two before making the nandroid backup, though, and WiFi worked fine after each reboot).
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
EDIT: DId you install 1.5 ghz kernel, or the1.2 ghz kernel when you installed. This looks like a kernel install failure.

---------- Post added at 12:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 AM ----------

Ok.... Forget restoring backups from Titanium. Nothing but problems. This is why I backup with 4EXT everytime before I install a new rom. I would install a fresh install of 6.2.1. There is cache on your sdcard that causes problems with TB restores. This is what you are using? Correct?

EDIT: Cache from sdcard will cause problems with restore. You can really only restore data with TB without maximum problems .
[HTC Sensation] howetechnical:
1.5Ghz kernel. It's so deceiving that it worked all night and all morning until I turned it off.

I didn't know 4ext could backup 3rd party apps. If that's true, I'll ditch Titanium in a heartbeat, as I never liked the procedures that it runs, but it always seemed to get the job done in the past.

Is there really nothing else that can be tried before wiping everything out and starting over again?
[HTC Sensation] brett_c:
This sounds like an issue I encountered early on with my stock ROM, unrelated to beats. The music player supports song skip and redial last call commands that can come through headphone controls. Sometimes even though you may not have headphones that offer this, the phone can pick up some "noise" and trigger these commands. I installed "Headset Blocker" from the android marketplace to fix the issue. If it happens again, check to see whether your phone shows a headphone icon, or a headset with microphone icon. If the 2nd, it thinks it's getting commands via the headset to skip songs.
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
Does GPS/3G/Bluetooth all still work? Just making sure you didn't fry a chip.
[HTC Sensation] howetechnical:
Yes sir, all working fine.
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
If you're not doing a fresh install, and super wipe.... it could be holding a setting that's keeping the wifi turned off.

(Failed to load wi-fi driver - sdio_register_driver timeout) <=== This is an install problem. The kernel didn't setup the module properly. You really might have to do a fresh install.

EDIT: You can try one thing. Try install another kernel. Try just installing 1.2, or 1.7 ghz kernel. It might just fix it.

EDIT: See this post for just kernels. ==> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424345
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
Just flashed 6.2.1XE and i'm having the problem where the screen has a blue tint.

Other that everything else is working perfectly.
[HTC Sensation] howetechnical:
Sorry, I must have misunderstood you earlier. I upgraded from 3.6.13, so yes, I did a superwipe and fresh install right after flashing the correct firmware. After that is when I did the selective titanium restore without any system data (left out a lot of apps I don't use as well) and then did a nandroid backup. If there's nothing that can be done to the current config, how are you accomplishing 3rd party app backups using 4ext? There are about 80 apps I use frequently, so re-installing them manually would be quite a pain, hence why I stuck with titanium for so long.

Edit: On the Kernel downloads, I don't see 1.2 available. As I'm not comfortable running 1.7 as a daily driver (over 30 calls every day, about 20 emails, etc etc), I can flash 1.7 then revert back to 1.5 without a superwipe, yes?

Edit2: Hah, just saw your reply to SebastianFM about your stability using 1.7. Maybe I'll try it over the weekend, though I do rely on decent battery life (at least 6 hours on a single full charge, as I charge in the car and at the office).
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
But when you do a *full complete* backup with 4EXT, you get a full complete backup. Yes you can't pick and choose what to restore, but you can do a complete restore of your previous setup. Which means it will run just like it did when you backed it up. But try just installing another kernel. I truly believe that is the problem.

---------- Post added at 12:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:52 AM ----------

I am using the 1.728 uv/oc from 3.24. It's running fine! You can then revert to a lower one if you like later. Just to see if your wifi comes back up. Otherwise you would have no choice, but to re-install.
[HTC Sensation] howetechnical:
No dice, looks like I'll be re-installing. May I pick your brain on the 4ext backup first? I was under the impression that the regular backup for it does an image backup of your setup, including ROM, Kernel, etc. How would I make it backup just my installed apps? I don't mind doing a full backup of the apps and then removing the ones I don't want after the restore, but I didn't think 4ext could do a backup of just apps, I thought it was all or nothing (including ROM, Kernel, system data, everything).
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
Yes you can revert back without a superwipe.

I get about 9 hours on it, with HEAVY use. But then again I carry a 10,000 maH Anker brick in my shirt pocket. I can recharge 5 times with this brick, so I really never worry.

---------- Post added at 01:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 AM ----------

If you go into the advanced backup menu, it gives you choices on the things you can backup. Take a look.
[HTC Sensation] howetechnical:
First, thanks for mentioning the anker recharging brick, didn't know they made one with that capacity. I'll buy it in the morning :)

As for the backup, and please excuse my ignorance on this as I haven't gone into the filesystem of Android hardly at all before, do I simply select to backup the data partition and then can restore that back onto the freshly installed ROM (even if it's on a newer base, or newer major version ROM alltogether such as going from GB to ICS)?
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
Here is a link for the battery. ==> http://www.amazon.com/Anker-10000mAh-Universal-External-Battery/dp/B005NGLTZQ

As for the backup.... It's like doing a backup/restore on Windows. It will restore you to where you were before. Like when installing a new driver, or program on Windows 7. It makes a complete restore file. The problem with Titanium Backup is people restore system files which causes malfunctions. [Such as yours] You can only restore Data with TB. Anything else, and you will mess up something. Just my experience in Linux. I've seen this so many times before on Ubuntu.
[HTC Sensation] nevrlow:
Do you have to use your recovery or can I use cwm?
[HTC Sensation] howetechnical:
Thanks, and I do understand what you mean, which is why I never restore any system data or anything in red from Titanium. I had a co-worker try to migrate one of our Ubuntu 8.10 Nagios boxes with snmpd, postfix, ftp, etc etc to 11.10 by including release specific data and configurations. Took me a few hours to get it back up and running right, and that's simply because I'm more well versed in Windows system administration than Linux. In any case, I just don't know (due to lack of experience) if the Data partition in Android contains any type of system related data. If not, I presume that entire partition can be restored on top of any ROM that's installed, whether it be Froyo or ICS, as long as the apps inside are compatible. Is this correct?
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
4EXT is the best choice. Not too many people using cwm since 4EXT came out.
[HTC Sensation] nevrlow:
OK thanks for the super quick reply
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
As long as the correct firmware is installed. You can't re-install GB using the 3.25 firmware. Won't work. I believe you need to use 3.12 to re-install GB roms. You would have to check out this post. ==> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21711154&postcount=1

EDIT: Actually my specialty is all operating systems.
[HTC Sensation] nevrlow:
So I can use ext4touch for all sensation ice from installs? Sry for being noob. Coming over from the nexus forum
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
Sensation ICS installs.... Yes....
[HTC Sensation] howetechnical:
But the ROM is in the system partition, which I would never try to reload with the incorrect firmware. Basically, will this process be OK or land me in trouble:

1) Boot into recovery (no need to load ICS firmware, it's already the latest)

2) Do advanced backup of Data partition only

3) Superwipe

4) Load 6.2.1 XE ROM

5) Do advanced restore of Data partition only

And also, can I use that same Data partition backup for the next version of ICS (or Jellybean even, if that's what they call it next year), presuming I load the correct firmware and ROM first of course?
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
Make sure you bootup the re-install, and make sure everything is working before you restore anything. If something is not working, then the restore would be useless. Now about the next version of JellyBean, i really couldn't tell you. They haven't released ICS yet. But I'm sure the XDA community will have ways around things. You just need to read the posts, and do searches. But If you are going to re-install that setup you have now, I would backup your data.... and then try installing another kernel. I think it WILL work for you. But it's your choice. Enjoy.
[HTC Sensation] howetechnical:
Thanks again for the help and advice, I've come away from it much more knowledgeable about 4ext and the backups it makes, etc. It's great to know I can simply backup the full data partition and re-load it onto a fresh ROM install without negative effects (presuming the ROM and firmware match, of course). Basically the same as Titanium Backup but without the chance of accidentally including system data in the batch backup.

Already did the superwipe and ROM re-load, booting that up now. Will run it for a few minutes to ensure everything works, then re-load the Data partition from 4ext advanced backup and my two mods. Thanks again.
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:

Edit: Hahaha, I was looking at that site about an hour ago.
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
Not a problem. I hope it works out for you my friend. Come back, and let us know.

That post is exactly where your issue lies....
[HTC Sensation] howetechnical:
Dang, even on superwipe and fresh install of 6.2.1XE 1.5Ghz kernel I have the same WiFi issue. I'll superwipe again, load ROM again, but choose 1.2Ghz this time.
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
I think there is something wrong with the 1.5, between you and me. Other people are having troubles with it. Seems the 1.2, and the 1.7 work without flaws. When I first installed 6.2.1XE, I installed the 1.2. Then i upgraded to the 1.7. I never touched the 1.5.
[HTC Sensation] howetechnical:
Given my problems, I think you're right :p I'll load 1.2ghz and then flash 1.7 on top, once WiFi is verified to be working.

On a side note, I've always been cautious about posting in this thread, because usually 20-30 minutes is all it takes to get lost in a sea of other replies and new posts. It's been really nice to take up about 4 pages on just this issue, I feel like I'm in the twilight zone.
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
Don't worry about it. Rod Serling is dead.
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
After my battery went flat in a hour, i just found out my phone isn't going to sleep when the screen is off.

Any suggestions?
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
Go into /Settings/power/battery use and see what's keeping it wake.
[HTC Sensation] howetechnical:
That guy freaked me out as a kid :D

I presume that this is the 1.2Ghz kernel (from Sebastians kernel thread), if I ever want to revert from 1.7:

Stock kernel 3.0.16-g9788208 for HTC Sensation and HTC Sensation XE
[HTC Sensation] DakuGaranto:
Anyone know why Equalizer (App from market) isn't working with HTC Music?

Currently installed 6.2.1 XE Rom
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
I have no apps open....

It's a bug that has happened with other ROMs before. Anyone know a fix?

I think last time it was the kernel :confused:
[HTC Sensation] howetechnical:
Uh oh, same problem with 1.2Ghz kernel, UnixSlayer. After a superwipe and fresh install of 6.2.1 XE, choosing yes to Sensation 4G (I'm a T-Mo user) and yes to Sony Bravia engine. WiFi refuses to turn on.

Any more ideas?
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
If you look in there, it will show you what's running. Look at mine.

---------- Post added at 02:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 AM ----------

Now it's starting to sound like a hardware problem. Just go back and explain how this first started, so I can get an idea as to what originally occurred.
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
I know where to look & like i said. I have no apps running.

The phone just stays awake when the screen is off.
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
Actually if the screen is on, then the phone is awake.
[HTC Sensation] sam razzy:
Totally a new revolution... This is not just a beginning... :beer:
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
It was meant to say off....

When the screen is off the phone stays awake.

You can tell when uptime and awake time are the same under Power Settings & under battery use the bar for awake is full.
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
What version ARHD are you using?
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
As i said before 6.2.1XE running at 1.2GHz
[HTC Sensation] howetechnical:
Here are my exact steps:

Last Night

-Titanium backup of 3rd party apps (no system data)

-Rebooted into bootloader, flashed ICS firmware for 6.2.1 (coming from 3.6.13)

-Rebooted into recovery

-Superwiped

-Flashed 6.2.1 XE, 1.5Ghz Kernel

-Booted normally. Waited a few minutes, restored 3rd party apps via Titanium

-Turned on WiFi, downloaded updates, etc.

This Morning

-Kept WiFi on all night, which it downloaded more app updates and some podcasts (they only download via WiFi).

-Used WiFi in the morning to check Facebook, bank account, etc.

-Turned off WiFi while driving to work to conserve battery.

-Used BlueTooth all day (still works fine)

-Tried to turn on WiFi tonight, wouldn't turn on. That's where our conversation started.

I'm going to revert back to 3.6.13 Nandroid backup (with appropriate firmware) and see if WiFi works there. If not, it's confirmed a hardware issue. That would really suck.
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
That was an issue with 6.1.x. Go to /settings/wifi/advanced. See what it states in the sleep policy.
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
It says always. But wifi isn't even on.
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
If you can't resolve this issue, I would sent a message to Mike1986. He might be able to go directly to the problem. At this point I am only using diagnostic procedures. I can't see why it would be hardware related. You didn't do anything unusual. But if you can't get it going from a backup, or fresh installl..... then something definitely is up. Sorry I couldn't help.

---------- Post added at 02:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:30 AM ----------

If it says Always, then your using 6.1.x. The new release 6.2.x has these choices.....

When Screen Turns Off

Never When Plugged In

Never
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
adb shell dumpsys alarm > AlarmDump.txt

Then have a look at the file, towards the bottom you get Stats. In here is the breakdown of what's causing the device to wake up. Look for Wakeups.
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
Hey... Glad you showed up. This guy has a wifi/network error. I was wondering if you've ever heard of it before on a thread.
[HTC Sensation] howetechnical:
Mine had an Always option on 6.2.1 XE also. I never had "When Screen Turns Off" or "Never When Plugged In". I never flashed 6.1.x, FYI.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
actually, the options are

Always

Only when plugged in

Never (increase data usage)
[HTC Sensation] howetechnical:
Pretty sure he means me. WiFi stays at "Turning Wi-Fi on..." and never gets past that. Dmesg shows the driver timing out at load. Tried a bunch of stuff with UnixSlayer, even to the point of superwiping again and loading the 1.5Ghz kernel as well as 1.2Ghz kernel (after another superwipe). Same thing. GPS/Network Data/BT work fine. Loaded Sebastian's 1.7 kernel on top as well, no dice.
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
That's funny. I'm reading it back from my phone. I have 6.2.1XE installed

---------- Post added at 02:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 AM ----------

Take a look at my post.
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
From what you're both saying it looks like the settings names are different on the Sensation and Sensation 4G.

As for my problem....

I don't have access to my PC atm (i'm not at home). So i can't do the ADB commands to check what's keeping it awake. Even though i said there aren't any apps running.

I still think it's the kernel. I searched and a few other people were having the same problem, but no one had a fix.
[HTC Sensation] howetechnical:
That's really trippy, now I REALLY feel like I'm in the twilight zone. I vividly remember my menu options because I went into the advanced settings, thinking there may be something there to help my WiFi issue. They were completely different than yours. I downloaded 6.2.1 XE last night.

EDIT: I think sromer's right about the differences in Sensation vs Sensation 4G. I have the 4G, do you have the non t-mo sensation?
[HTC Sensation] ansonchan:
so is it worth to flash 6.2.1 over stable 2.3.4?
