[Desire General] mblenton:
I tried all of the combinations - settings/wireless, status bar, specific widgets - nothing works. At least I have consistent behaviour :-)

This is my original post on miui forum (when I thougt it was miui related). It explains what actions I performed while trying to nail the problem. Still no luck.

Hello,

Recently I've noticed that wifi on my HTC Desire is acting very strangely - it connects just the first time after reboot, every other time I get "Error" message in Wifi settings. Where I can check what actually went wrong?

After looking in the logs, I hope to have more information on this issue, but for now I believe it's hardware related, since the same problem appears even with the fresh install of the latest MIUI or after restoring a backup.

Thanks.

You can use the MIUI Android Logcat miuiandroid.com / community/link-forums/logcat.82/

Or you could try a fresh download install again : reboot into cwm, factory reset > wipe dalvik > clear cache partition install rom

But try the logcat and also check you router etc and other things that may influence.

Regards

If you require more help speak to ibotpeaches as he is a HTC expert : join the miui irc chat :)

Hello Pele,

Thanks for the reply.

I've tried already clean install with wiping everything, even restored an old bkp which for sure is correct, but all without luck. I don't think it's a router thing, since the same problem appears regardless of my location (at home, at work... all the same). I'll join the miui irc chat, good idea, thanks!

Regarding the logcat - the link you sent is just a form for pasting logs - am I seeing it correctly?. Is there some specific miui logcal app? I've installed 'aLogcat' which seems good, but I couldn't find anything on *wifi* or *wpa* which could indicate some sort of error in any of the logs aLogcat is displaying.

Cheers,
mblenton

Hi,

Try to restore your back up without wifi settings. Failing that yes come to irc chat for about 12pm GMT+0 and chat with ibotpeaches

Hello Pele,

I've tried several combinations of rom/backup flashing, titanium backup restore etc. but the problem persists, even on a clean installation with just one accesspoint defined.

Update: I've updated to the newest radio, but the problems are still there.

Yes, you need a logcat to further figure this out.

Hello iBotPeaches, thanks for the link, I didn't realize Pele's refering to that logcat. I'll have to set up abd, though.

In the mean time, I've tried the following (plus the actions described earlier):
- Format system and boot partitions (since Wipe Data/Factory Reset doesn't do that) and clean latest miui install
- Clean Cyanogenmod install

Nothing's changed, I still can connect to wifi network the first time after power up, and then all I get is 'Error' msg. Interesting, but reboot doesn't actually help, just power off/power on.

Hello again,

I've installed adb and used logcat to generate this file: ge.tt /9UkgUaF/v/0?c

I'm not quite sure what would be interesting for debugging purposes, so I performed the following procedure:
0. Wifi is enabled, but not working; power down the device; start adb logcat - waiting for device -
1. Power on (wifi will be enabled and connected to SSID Hotspot)
2. Open browser, open google (everything works)
3. Close browser, turn off wifi (via status bar, but it doesn't make any difference)
4. Open settings, try to turn on wifi
5. Wifi couldn't be turned on, 'Error' message is displayed
6. Power down the phone

Thanks in advance!

Yet another update, not I'm pretty sure this issue is not miui related.

I've installed Gingerbread RUU and performed the power-on/wifi-on--works/wifi-off--won't-start-anymore procedure with the same results. Here are the logs: ge.tt /9sOVXbF/v/0?c

Where I should look for help?
