I'm starting to see a real trend in these WiFi issues. There have been a lot of threads about it lately. I don't know what is causing the problem though.

I had my WiFi shut off again today with the same issue. The fix I posted earlier worked again but having to do this every few days is not going to be acceptable...

I REALLY am enjoying ics and arhd 6 but I'm afraid between this WiFi problem and the fact that T-Mobile WiFi calling doesnt work I might be going back to gingerbread...

There is something going on with the supplicant file. The contents keep changing. The last section that starts "netwrok=... has changed three times since I started watching it last night. The first time I looked at it the contents looked like this:

network={

ssid=(my network name)

psk=(my password)

key_mgmt=wpa-psk

priority=4

}

I deleted the file - it came back like this:

network={

ssid=(my network name)

psk=(my password)

key_mgmt=wpa-psk

priority=1

}

This morning I looked at the file again and it looks like this:

network={

ssid=(my network name)

psk=(my password)

key_mgmt=wpa-psk

priority=1

disabled=1

}

I'm in no way a programer, and I don't understand why or how the file keeps changing. I also don't understand the significance of the priority changing from 4 to 1 and what should it be?

Then the "disabled=1" entry just showing up out of the blue? what the heck is going on with that?

WiFI seems to be working this morning - at least I can call voice mail which I could not do yesterday before deleting the supplicant file.

---------- Post added at 06:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:34 AM ----------

Ok, I did some testing and found that if I change the entry priority=1 to priority=4 I can make about 1 or 2 calls and WiFi will quit working. If I delete the disabled=1 entry and change the priority to 4 WiFi stops working completely. When I change them back to priority=1 and disabled=1 WiFi starts working like it should.

I deleted titanium and all the titanium backups yesterday so that could not have caused the settings to change over night. Something else is going on.
[HTC Sensation] samuelrhaynes:
The fact that it has happened to quite a few people when upgrading to 6.5.1 is what's interesting, and that even when reverting back to gingerbread or a more recent version their wifi still doesn't work! I wonder whether Mike knows about it and is looking into it at all...
[HTC Sensation] stev32k:
Some further information. If I reset the phone the entry "disabled=1" is deleted and WiFi only works intermittently. I manually replaced the entry, changed the permissions to read only, reset the phone and the entry was deleted again and the permissions were changed back to allow read and write.

With or without the "disabled=1" entry the mobile network (T-Mobile) constantly connects and disconnects every few minutes.

The icon (see attachment) that indicates wifi is turned on (located on the status bar) comes and goes every few minutes. Sometimes I can make calls when the icon is missing and sometimes not.

This is really frustrating me.

No Wifi At ALL

I think I have the same problem. When I factory reset the phone, and wipe all data I am able to connect to wifi but as soon as i insert my sim card my wifi stops working all together and wont work again.

How can I fix this, i did the supplicant suggestion but it doesnt do anything. My wifi doesnt find any networks.
[HTC Sensation] stev32k:
I sent a message to mike1986 about the problem and he responded that there is a software bug and he is waiting on a fix from HTC.

In the meantime I'm in the same boat with you. I cannot make or receive any calls either by WiFi or the T-Mobile network. It's just lucky that I have a backup blackberry curve that works just fine. I moved the SIM card to it and I am back in business.
[HTC Sensation] jbetincort:
Wifi Error

You think its the same issue I have? see I havent been able to get it to work at all with sim card. Ive superwiped and reflashed several times. If I do it without sim card I think it works. How I got it to work orginally was after I booted and no wifi I factory reset and then I lost the beatz bootup animation and got an android one. The wifi was working just fine (no sim inserted) then I powered off, inserted my sim and started up and wifi just stops working. It stays "turning on" and wont find any network.
[HTC Sensation] stev32k:
Could you make and receive calls over WiFi without a SIM card inserted?
[HTC Sensation] jbetincort:
Well I havent tried wifi calling but if I reflash the rom with no sim inserted and do the regular stuff. I can use all the features. No problem. Get on market, download apps, setup my account with google and stuff. But when i Power off, insert my sim and boot up .... All that functionality disappears. I click on wifi and it says turning on.. and thats all and I wont see any networks at all.
[HTC Sensation] stev32k:
Yeah, my sensation works well with everything except as a phone. The internet is fast, email and messages are good, but I can't make or receive calls and that makes the device worthless to me. I don't need a mobile internet I need a mobile phone. I'll just have to wait until the the bug is fixed.

I am disappointed in the 6.5.1 ROM because it stated on the web page that it was "HTC Stable". I didn't update with any of the beta updates because I didn't want problems like this. That's a lesson learned for me.
[HTC Sensation] Zeustopher:
I'k glad to hear that mike is looking into it. Hopefully he'll be able to come up with a fix or that HTC will come up with a fix for it.

For now, I'm still sticking with ICS but only necaus ei have faith they'll get it fixed soon.

After digging though the 5,000 page development thread for the 6.5.1 ROM I may have found a fix. One of the guys posted this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21406675 I installed the zip and so far my WiFi is working again.
[HTC Sensation] cbbplanet:
so i've had this problem back when i was on mike's ARHD 3.5? It was 2.2 Froyo. Wifi have always worked for me and I was too lazy to flash or update but out of the blue one day, my wifi stopped working. It would try to turn on, then turn off, and turn on continuously. So I decided to upgrade my firmware, flash to the new ARHD 6.5.1 but however, my wifi will now try to turn on, and say error, and then turn off indefinitely.

Therefore, I don't think this error was caused by ice cream. Unless its because my wifi antenna is physically damaged? I will try with another case but hopefully someone find a fix for it.

ps. i did try the wpa_supplicant.conf but with no luck.
[HTC Sensation] samuelrhaynes:
Could just be a general bug in HTC mobiles, not necessarily from flashing.
[HTC Sensation] qdochemistry:
Omg ... I got the very same problem!!! Arhd 6.4 it was working fine but them stuck at turning on wifi. Though I dropped it pretty hard a day before. But I'm guessing it might be more than jz the rom b/c after I installed stock on it it still got the same error message. I jz got the repalcement and need to send that one back to T-Mobile soon. Anyluck with everyone else getting this to work besides the one person I believe?
[HTC Sensation] cbbplanet:
Did your WiFi work again after you got the replacement? Even with the arhd Rom?
[HTC Sensation] fixss:
i have same problem on all roms, but on official roms with sense it just hangs on trying found wifi, on miui 2.3.7 it is just trying to turn on and after that writes that it turns off, and my phone always goes in reboot if wifi module cant turn on normally. On Miui ICS wifi hangs on turning on wifi, but without reboots. But sometimes wifi turns on normally (two hours for reboots, one time turn on wifi normally). I try to delete file data/misc/wifi but without progress, like without progress was installing wififix.zip througt CWM, try to install official htc firmware - without progress. But i am sure that it is software problem, please help(
[HTC Sensation] SpeedyBang:
Have sb solve this ? I have changed my motherboard and it still does not work (bluetooth too) , it must be software . It didn't work on orange soft too . I tried to deflect wifi antenna but it doesnt work too... Any help ? I am so exhausted looking for solution for more than a month and half .
[HTC Sensation] Bessani:
got the same problem since 2 month.

cant test my wifi on gingerbread, because there i get a black screen-.- after configurate the internet option-.-
[HTC Sensation] kkdamion:
i have the same Thing as you it happend since i flashed AR6.5.1

wiping,flashing,diffrent kernels or roms deleting file's or firmware downgrading diffrent backplate nothing worked

in the advanced wifi settings the mac adress and ip adress says: not available

and in cm9 wifi on/off toggle is gray like when something is not installed
[HTC Sensation] Frankv120:
You should go into your wifi settings en disable WAP2 protection, immediatly worked for me :)
[HTC Sensation] jaron001:
been having this issue since ics also. i need wifi bad
[HTC Sensation] BrokenWiFi:
Sucks because it's been working for me for almost a month on 6.5.1

I was out of the country...and it worked flawlessly. Then like the second I stepped foot on US soil BAMM WIFI stops working.

Just indefinitely hangs on "Turning Wi-Fi on".

I'm so pissed because it was totally working perfectly for quite some time.

Superwiped and moved up to the newest release hoping that'd help....nope.

Tried pulling sim, nope.

Deleted _supplicant....nope

I have to wonder if Tmobile screwed my phone over with some sort of update or something. It seems quite odd that it was working flawlessly until I stepped back on US soil (I had data turned off while I was away)
[HTC Sensation] Sebastian768:
Simple......apparently, a lot of Sensations has flexboard issues. It has nothing to do with rooting, but it's a hardware issue. I've had 2 flexboards changed since I got the S XE.
[HTC Sensation] BrokenWiFi:
Well I feel like a dumbass...

I flashed the radio mike suggests w/ the rom, Wi-Fi worked the second I flipped the phone back on.

I still don't understand how it got broken in the first place. Unless TMOBILE updated me when I got back into the states?

At anyrate yeah.
[HTC Sensation] BrokenWiFi:
are Rawan

And now it's not working again.

WTF

Since it stopped working again I've tried the Wifix thing...didn't help.

Deleted wpa_supplicant.conf didn't work.

MEHHHHHHHHHHHH

I have no idea what the problem is now. AHH
[HTC Sensation] BrokenWiFi:
Any chance someone could post up a working wpa_supplicant.conf file?

I wonder if the one from /system or whatever is corrupt...so when it replaces it's still ****.
[HTC Sensation] BrokenWiFi:
Nevermind, that doesn't work either. Found one. Didn't help.

In Dalvik I can watch the wpa_supplicant spitting out "Could not read interface wlan0 flags: No such device" over and over amongst other things

I wonder if it's hardware?

FUHHHH
[HTC Sensation] BrokenWiFi:
So it went from not working..."Wi-fi turning on" indefinitely....to suddenly turning on for about half an hour. Then went back to not.

It HAS to be hardware related. I can't fathom a reason it'd be intermittent otherwise.

Anybody know anything about the hardware side?
[HTC Sensation] deadfazel:
Same problem!

guys i have the same problem.

i did everything and no luck.

i dont think its a hardware problem,because as you see its very common.

i think its a problem with the firmware.

it would be Apreciated if one of experts take a look for soloution.
[HTC Sensation] BrokenWiFi:
The only reason I thought it was hardware is because it wasn't working proper for me back on GB....which is why I switched to ICS.

I managed to fix mine last night, it's been working for 12hrs now..no hitches.

I'm not sure which part of what I did made it work. The 2 things I changed was the way I wiped, and the kernel install. Not sure if SebastionFM is the default? If so then it was the way I wiped. IDK

In 4ext before I ran superwipe I went to the mount options. Mounted /system /data sdcard...everything. Then formatted each on my own. Wiped Dalvik+Cache. Then went and made sure they were still mounted afterwards...and ran superwipe.

Then proceeded w/ the Rom install (mike1986's androidrevolution) same thing I'd been trying for weeks.

When it asks to flash a custom kernel I hit yes. I chose SebastionFM.

Wifi worked the second it booted.

Not sure which part did it, but something certainly did.

Hope that helps....this has been the most frustrating thing ever. Spent at least 25 hours flashing, reading, diagnosing...bleh blah blah.

Anyways..that worked for me.
[HTC Sensation] BrokenWiFi:
Still working.

So I'd say it's officially fixed.

Yay!
[HTC Sensation] deadfazel:
I did as you said...on virtuous inquistion4.0.1.

But no luck for me.......

This is driving me crazy.........
[HTC Sensation] movizdb:
Same thing here, the second i switched to ICS wifi stopped working --'

[HTC Sensation] @oha:
wifi is broken

Hi guys,

I have the exact same problem now.

I got this phone in August 2011 and maybe after 1 month excitement flashed and switched to ARHD from mike86. It was rock stable and didn't have any issues.

All of a sudden, yesterday, maybe after 2 or 3 days after common addicted update to another fresh ARHD 6.6.2 the wifi issue showed up. Also, during update I realized that my RUU is older and updated it too. I did it by flashing the firmware through the amazingly explained guides.

So, now I am at the same boat.

One unusual thing which I did before the problem came up is I wanted to send a file via bluetooth. Surprisingly, I didn't succeed to send it. The bluetooth was making the exact same behavior like wifi now for me.

I tried wifix, reflashing firmware, superwipe, rom.

Also tried the BrokenWiFi's last succeeded try.

No luck for me so far

I was thinking that the reason is firmware 3.32, but I'm not sure.

I appreciate if some of dev try to help us.

---------- Post added at 01:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 PM ----------

One thing I didn't try is deleting wpa_supplicant.conf file.

It's because it doesn't exist in /data. My /data folder is empty.

And I think deleting etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf doesn't help because it is the template or maybe I'm wrong.

Does anybody know why my /data folder is empty?

---------- Post added at 01:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:18 PM ----------

ok, I found out why it was empty. I didn't check Root Explorer in ES file explorer settings. I found the wifi_supplicant.conf and renamed it. Wifi is now on. Let's see how long it will work.
[HTC Sensation] BrokenWiFi:
Well, once in awhile it will stop working on me now.

Then I'll go wipe dalvik+cache...reflash radio. Once in awhile that'll cure it, othertimes it wont.

Lastnight it stopped working....I left it be and like 5 hrs later boom it works. IDK what the **** is wrong.

IDK

Very annoying. Deleting/renaming wpa_supp doesn't do anything for me.

I'm sure it'll just randomly decide to work again. Then I'll leave my house, come back and it's a coinflip. BAHHH
[HTC Sensation] @oha:
It's very annoying. My phone is like crazy now. And I'm really pissed off already.

Wifi starts randomly. Whatever I do doesn't make any sense. Sometimes rebooting helps, sometimes not. Sometimes rebooting + deleting conf file works sometimes not.

And the most annoying thing, I cannot give the hell idea what is the reason of such a behaviour.

I'm not sure that the reason is the country code - the wifix-theory.

Guys, at least we have to find what is a reason!

Any ideas?? :confused::confused:
[HTC Sensation] BrokenWiFi:
For me it's definitely not the country code thing. Tried it w/ no help. If booting w/ the sim card out makes it work...then that's your problem.

Yes, it's the most annoying thing ever.

I just got done wiping everything for the umteenth time....reinstall and boot....no wifi.

I don't understand what the hell the problem is.

It makes me want a new phone...wifi calling is one of the biggest features for me because I get 0 reception @ my house.
[HTC Sensation] BrokenWiFi:
In my case I have to think it's a hardware issue.

It being so intermittent makes no sense in terms of software. I don't see how some corrupt file or something would magically right itself in a random amount of time.

I think I'm going to take it apart and heat the chip. Hopefully break it beyond repair so I can go get a different phone w/ a clean conscience.
[HTC Sensation] BrokenWiFi:
Welp, it's been a fun run guys.

Today I punted my phone off the golden gate bridge (I wish).

Anyways, downloaded the stock RUU...went back to that. STILL not working.

It wasn't working when I was stock...so I came here...flashed this and that...never could manage to get it working for more than a day.

So now it's S-ON and ready to go back to TMOBILE. Hopefully they'll hook me up w/ a new one that works.
[HTC Sensation] alex62157:
the same here :( :(
[HTC Sensation] Datsun.510:
I have the same problem.

My Wifi keeps saying "Turning On" and just stays like that and grays out. I been reading and tried a lot of things. Different roms, kernels, Mike1986 Radio he has in his Revolution HD thread, WifFix, back cover of phone from a working Sensation, flashed firmware 1.17 and downgraded to Gingerbread, now the Wifi says "Error" when I tried to turn it on and shuts off. But still does not work.

The curios thing about my problem is that in both ICS and Gingerbread under /data/misc/wifi there are no files in the folder. In my other Sensation with working Wifi I have the files: entropy.bin, ipconfig.txt, softap.conf, wpa_supplicant.conf. Copied the phones from one phone to the other and still didn't work.

I just bought this phone used, sad thing is it looks brand new. With a very possible hardware issue. I really hope someone finds a fix for this.
[HTC Sensation] alex62157:
I did superwipe and wiped everything ... after that I removed my SIM from this annoying phone and flashed the ROM...

it has worked but the problem started again when the SIM came back to its native :(

Ba@aaaad luck

thanx HTC for this adrenaline !!!
[HTC Sensation] BrokenWiFi:
Do a search of "country code" and wifi not working or something.

If it works when your SIM is out then it's probably that issue.

There's a simple fix for it.

In my case it WAS hardware. The phone went back, got a new one and it works 100% perfect.

Yipeeee!
[HTC Sensation] BrokenWiFi:
So you downgraded back to Gingerbread using the RUU thing? And still those files are missing?

If you've tried everything I outlined throughout this thing it's probably the same hardware issue I had. IDK how that works though if you bought it used...dunno if you can return it?

I went straight to Tmobile...got a new device in the mail 3 days later.

as i work with phones all day everyday, i was thinking about the ideas that apple have when it comes to phones etc.

like the taskbar that you can drag down to show things like weather appointments etc i would be good if we could pick out what we want to show on the taskbars like iphone has, ok maybe there is a app out but is it as fluid as apples... maybe maybe not.

another thing is i have found on my hunt is the way companys dont put the widgets etc on market. like kddi and docomo.

Historians consider the first touch screen to be a capacitive touch screen invented by E.A. Johnson at the Royal Radar Establishment, Malvern, UK, around 1965 - 1967. The inventor published a full description of touch screen technology for air traffic control in an article published in 1968.
