[HTC Sensation] ziddey:
I'm having a different problem than you guys since upgrading to 3.33. Wifi works and all, but it won't stay connected. This is true with sense based roms and aosp builds.

I have wifi set to always on when screen off.

Sometimes I can go long stretches without losing connection. Sometimes, it seems every time I wake it up, it's back on 3g, with wifi reconnecting immediately.

It seems sometimes the setting reverts to never on when screen off by itself. Switching it back may fix it for a while. Sometimes it still says always, but it's not the case.

Anyone have a solution? This happened with 3.32 as well, but it was a lot more infrequent, and might have been because of htc smartsync (didn't use the app to disable it back then).

Wifi being connected is pretty crucial since I use sip calling and have poor/no reception at home.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I think this is a "feature" (ie one hell of an annoyance) called SmartSync. Go to the HTC One X section and search for "disable SmartSync" then goto the thread created by j4n87
[HTC Sensation] ziddey:
Mentioned in the post I am using that app to no avail. It's not just a problem between 12a-7a. It's all the time.

I've been checking every half hour for the past few hours and every time, it's disconnected.

I just switched the wifi sleep policy to never and back to always on, and it seems to be holding the connection again. So it's looking preliminarily like the bug is with the sleep policy switching, even though it's still showing always on when screen off. Not sure how long it lasts and when it reverts again.

I've tried a bunch of different roms, both sense based and aosp. All have the same exact problem. Tried reflashing 3.33 as well.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Have you got any apps like Juice Defender or similar that manage wifi policy because they can override the other settings
[HTC Sensation] ziddey:
no. I've observed this with a barebones flash before logging into my google account so no apps autodownloaded. although my sip client can manage wifi power supposedly, but i don't have that feature enabled.
[HTC Sensation] bogddy87:
No, flashing RUU doesn't fix that problem. ICS or GB, doesn't mather what you will flash, non of them will help us. What has caused the problem it's sticked somewere and nothing will remove it until everything will be flashed mannualy or something like that. Or...it is another way to resolv that. Replace whole motherboard.. :) jokeing. mb it's ok. just something "evil" :)) it's sticked somewere somehow :confused::confused:

Hope it will not be a problem posting an external link but i found something and i think it's interesting

http://blog.linuxconsulting.ro/2010/04/porting-wifi-drivers-to-android.html

It's about wifi drivers path...

We need devs here :D
[HTC Sensation] PoRJ:
I've got the exact same problem that you've described after installing Cyanogen RC2, have you got anywhere in finding a solution to this issue?
[HTC Sensation] bogddy87:
No, i don't...

It's so "much fog" :)), around that problem. Seems to nobody have an answer to that "mystical" problem. All what i've found here and there is about driver failed to load. In my oppinion, it's not a hardware problem. It's about that stupid chipset which seems to forgot his job :))

Anyway, i has had a conversation with HTC a few days ago an their answer was "we know about that problem after official ICS upgrade. We will not relese any other update untill our engineers will found the propper patch for that issue"

Somewere official ICS builds, doesn't match with hardware part's of our's phones...

I don't know what to say...for the moment i'm waiting but i think about HTC Sensation, that will be my last HTC device. Samsung!!! wait for me :))
[HTC Sensation] chronic8000:
I have got the same problem with no wifi, works on stock htc rom flashed by RUU but as soon as I flash recovery then a rom like cm9 it just says no wifi. I tried nearly every rom for the sensation, flashed boot.img with fastboot, tried a bunch of radios and even trips firmware but still the same thing no wifi. I think it is to do with boot.img in some way though I have att a logcat.

Is this someway involved ipconfig.txt i tried looking for the file and couldn't find it...

[HTC Sensation] bogddy87:
Well guys...gooood news. My phone is solved now. All functions are up and ready to be used :laugh:

Like many others from here, guess what...it was a hardware problem :laugh:

But what was the explination for that it's amazing. How this problem come to our phones..

When we make ICS upgrade, all drivers from OS are upgraded. That's good... usually. But not for all devices.

Some devices, don't get propers drivers, and when they ar tring to run wifi..bluetooth or fm radio ( what's running on b4329 chip ), don't run proper and final result it's a fired chipset :D

That was explination from gsm service

If they lie, i lie to. Don't blame me :laugh:

Good luck guys at chipset cooking

WiFi is killing me

I'm so tired of this WiFi error. Have tried all possible ROMs, Kernels, Radio, RIL, boot.img, wpa-supplicant, WiFix and have edited so many system files but no luck. I give up. I'm not a developer or anything but due to this error i have learnt a lot about android. Been running Viper S ROM and WiFi was fine even after 3.33FW update. Suddenly this error shows up and I'm stuck only with 3G. I want WiFi back and many others. Anyone out there who can help? Please Devs come up with some solution. :( :fingers-crossed:
[HTC Sensation] bogddy87:
Can you make a logcat?

When you will run logcat, please try to turn on bluetooth. If you will see in logcat an error like "D-bus error...bla bla", for sure it's a hardware fault like it was at me

:(
[HTC Sensation] rhishavphukan:
There was no error regarding Bluetooth. It was fine I guess. I cant see any error. But my problem is WiFi.

[HTC Sensation] bogddy87:
Did you tried to make a downgrade to a low firmware version? Maybe a GB version? If not, follow this guid but be very very careful

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

If you will go back at stock version and wifi still doesn't work it can be a hardware fault. I'm not an expert but till now, all your phone symptoms look like mine was...
[HTC Sensation] rhishavphukan:
Oh I dont wanna go back to S-ON as last year I tried, I bricked my phone and luckily HTC replaced my phone. Now m out of warranty so i dont wanna take that chance. But so far what I have read in a million posts that going back to stock or even GB is not helping. So no point trying as our dear friends at this forum help by reading. So i'l just wait until Devs come up with some thing.
[HTC Sensation] winnerx:
I had this problem for around a month and finaly found something that works for me. Wifi works for me if i turn off google location service in the location settings, it also works if i remove the sim card, but thats a bit impractical for me.

hope this works for others
[HTC Sensation] rhishavphukan:
yup. Tried the above mentioned. Doesn't work. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] Brolly916:
hello bogddy87 was your problem just wifi ? or 3g and bluethoot too? can you tell me what is call the part you replaced ?
[HTC Sensation] Jusnice:
I would like to know as well on the part u replaced. I have been trying to fix wifi on this phone 4 months. I have tried everything possible with same results "wifi error". This will Def b my last HTC device. They do not give any support for this situation or fix for us not in any warranty.
[HTC Sensation] shiggins9:
I've been devoted to HTC for years now. But after this wifi ordeal, I'm thinking about Samsung too. I never give up on a phone issue. I'm obsessive about spending whatever time is needed to research and fix the problem. But I am not getting anywhere on this issue.
[HTC Sensation] ziddey:
3.32 works just about flawlessly for me. I have a slightly more elaborate setup, using Y5 and AutoAir to automatically switch wifi on when at home and then switch airplane on. Once away from home and wifi is lost, airplane mode and wifi are automatically switched off. When on wifi, Sipdroid connects and intercepts native dialer dialouts. When on cell, Google Voice intercepts. This way, all calls originate from one number and are received from the same number. Planemodetweaker allows wifi/bt to be usable in airplane mode and not get automatically toggled off if on previously.

With 3.32, it doesn't seem to ever randomly lose wifi connection or otherwise fail to connect like I've seen with 3.33.
[HTC Sensation] martinphonefixer:
Hardware problem?

I've been struggling with this problem for 2 days, Wifi will not work with AOSP roms (Bruces kang & OS2). When I install a sense rom the wifi works fine, can connect to router surf the net download etc. But if I turn off the wifi in the settings i cannot turn it on again at all, all i get it wifi error after a period of time. If I reboot the phone it starts working again, but if i switch it off it stays off. This happens on aroma HD. I have used an RUU to downgrade to GB and still get the same problem as with aroma HD. I'm beginning to think this is some kind of wierd hardware problem.

Ive seen somwhere that you can use a heat gun to heat the wifi chip up and reflow the solder, anyone else done this with success?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
try wifix manager and see if it works

best wishes
[HTC Sensation] martinphonefixer:
Yes tried that, doesnt work.

---------- Post added at 08:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 PM ----------

When i check the logcat during wifi switch on I can see:-

wifi_load_driver end error 2

Failed to load driver

driver failed state.

But as i said before i'm getting problems with all roms and with RUU. Are the drivers seperate to the roms somehow?

Or is this still a hardware problem.
[HTC Sensation] shiggins9:
I agree the problem exists on all roms, I would have been happy with ANY rom if wifi worked. I'm pretty sure the chef cooks the wifi drivers into the rom. I really liked the ViperS and Kang roms, but I even used a stock RUU and my wifi would continuously turn on and off every second. Many people said they would get a message "wifi error." I never got that but it would keep trying to turn on. Sometimes I could see SSID's, so I thought it was working, but it rarely would connect for more than a few seconds. I didn't go as far as to modify hardware. After reading countless threads, apparently some people that sent their phones in on warranty got statements from HTC admitting there was a flaw in the Sensations and replaced their motherboards for free. But of course they denounced all these posts on "blogs" as being unproven.
[HTC Sensation] martinphonefixer:
I'm going t try the flow solder hot air station on monday, I will also be swapping boards with a known good phone on sunday, i will report the results here.
[HTC Sensation] martinphonefixer:
Ok the faults follows the PCB with the ribbon cable and the cameras on it. The once defective phone now accesses wifi with no problems, however the once good phone now has the problem. This is definatly not a software problem in my case. Tomorrow I will attempt to melt te solder on the WIFI chip to try and cure and dry joints. KILL OR CURE
[HTC Sensation] martinphonefixer:
SOLVED

I used a hot air soldering station to heat the wifi chip under the little lid on the top pcb with the camera on it. Had to use a temp of 420c. the wifi problem is fixed but I forgot yo remove the camera module first, unfortunatly I think i've cooked it abit as the images are now a bit blurry. Will know for next time.
[HTC Sensation] Deathless93:
Did Bluetooth work for ya?

Ive got the same probs with wifi and also with bluetooth.

Can u do a movie or a picture, where I can see, which part of the mainboard I have to heat?

[LG Nitro HD] Kct385:
I had my Lg Nitro rooted. Super user installed. I pulled down the widget thing? And saw I had an update... thinking it was an update for one of my apps I clicked ok to update.. phone rebooted into Clockwork recovery... and here it has been for the last two days.

I tried some cw recovery loop fix.zip, I've tried flashing a new rom onto my sd card and running it, seemed like it installed fine except when it requested I reboot... I rebooted as it called for and back to Clockwork recovery loop it sent me. Now my question is my phone bricked? If so do I follow the sticky "Unbrick Nitro" at the top of the thread or what do I do?

Thank you for the help
[LG Nitro HD] rani9990:
Nope, it's not bricked. Just follow the unbricking guide to fix it back to normal. And read what the updates are for more carefully :D.
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
Not necessary to use unbricking guide if he can get to CWM. Just install a ROM of your choice.
[LG Nitro HD] rani9990:
He says all ROMS go straight to CWM.
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
I'm guessing he didn't wipe data/factory reset.

For the OP: Try installing CM9 after doing wipe data/factory reset.
[LG Nitro HD] Kct385:
I thought I tried doing that, I'm a complete noob with this so I may not have. Thats through CWM I'm doing Wipe/data/factory reset correct?
[LG Nitro HD] neph81:
You're boot looping into CWM because your /misc partition has a flag on it that is forcing it back into there. CWM should automaticly clear this flag, but it is not in your case. You will need to find someone with a good DD image of /misc and then flash it on to your phone. There is no other way out as flashing stock recovery back on to your phone will leave you in a brick situation. You were in the middle of taking an update and by now, you've move likely cleared the update from the phone and any chance of it going thru. Also, don't use CWM boot loop fixes for other phones. They will clear partitions that you need kept in place and will possibly delete stuff you still need.
[LG Nitro HD] Kct385:
Thank you, okay so let me make sure I'm following here.. basically there is still an on going issue with my phone causing my the constant CWM loop. And I screwed up my phones image of /misc. So now to remedy this I need to flash a new image of /misc? Is that correct?

Assuming correct if I were to find a good image, how do I get it onto my phone, through SD card and then what?
[LG Nitro HD] neph81:
You didn't screw up your image. LG uses the /misc partition to tell the primary boot loader which way to go (fota update, /data format, or into android)

What you need is a DD image and it needs to be done exactly correct or it will not work. Someone with root access on their Nitro needs to go in adb shell or terminal and do this command

DD if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p25 of=/sdcard/misc.img

This file "misc.img" on their SD card needs to make it to your SD card.

Once there, ADB into your phone while in CWM. You will need to mount the SD card using Mounts->mount sdcard from inside CWM before hand. Then do this command.

DD if=/sdcard/misc.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p25

Once done, reboot your phone and it should be back to normal.

I made an update package for the LG Spectrum that does this automatically, but I do not know if our /misc partition is different from the Nitro one.

Edit: The person making the DD image needs to be in SU when they do it. I forgot to mention it, but being as I am going to work, I thought it would be good to know in case they run into an issue.
[LG Nitro HD] Kct385:
Ok, this sounds reasonable. Well in the mean time of waiting/hoping for this file I'll get aquainted with ADB and command prompts also i'll try to see if my phone will show in ADB.

Is there a website or anywhere in particular I can find that file and the .img files required in the "Unbrick nitro" thread that is stickied at the top. The links in that thread are all not working.
[LG Nitro HD] neph81:
You're best bet is to have someone on here or possibly a friend you know that has the same phone make the image for you. I made my image from my phone before I started messing around with it.
[LG Nitro HD] rani9990:
This sounds a bit complicated. Couldn't he just follow the unbricking guide? Seems faster and easier :D. Just saying.
[LG Nitro HD] Kct385:
Well assuming I can't get one of those DD of a working Nitro /misc.img, can I follow the guide here -

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1582553 starting on post #4. Because it looks like the link I just posted the OP was in the same predicmant as me, as he could boot in recovery.
[LG Nitro HD] neph81:
I fail to see how doing one DD command is harder then 4 + a bunch of other stuff, but he could try it. The thing is, once you remove CWM, you lose any chance to ADB into your phone if you messed something up. This is the only thing I've found on the Spectrum that is not fixable (Being stuck with a /misc flag after removing CWM).

Hell, if someone can provide me with a copy of the misc.img, i'll even make it into an update.zip for easier install.
[LG Nitro HD] Kct385:
Oh I'm definately trying the DD/misc if I can get an image. As far as I can see from posts it'll require ADB with those 4+ files anyway.
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
Here's my misc.img from a Nitro HD.

As a side note, if this post is accurate, it may be safe to just completely blank out the misc partition.
[LG Nitro HD] neph81:
If the above misc.img doesn't work, or if you just want a flashable .zip file, here it is as promised. Please let us know which one works for you as I will tweak my update.zip accordingly.

http://androidfiles.massivefilehost.com/nitro/Nitro_CWM_Bootloop_Fix.zip
[LG Nitro HD] Kct385:
Yes, thank you for all of the help. I've got all the files downloaded. Tonight when I get home from work I'll run it and see where that takes me.
[LG Nitro HD] Kct385:
My phone is back from the dead!!!!!!! Thank you so much! Neph & everyone else you guys are life savers!
[LG Nitro HD] neph81:
So which one did it? I'd like to officially post the zip with the correct misc.img in it in case others need it.
[LG Nitro HD] Kct385:
The zip worked for me, thank you!
[LG Nitro HD] mtdew2kx:
Does anyone know why the zip would fail with Status 6, installation aborted? I have the same issue and cant get anything working. I can get in CWM, and I see LG-P930 in device manager... Drivers are installed, so is ADB, and driver wont recognize.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InTheater:
Hello xda devs,

plenty of times this pages have give me the answer to my Android questions. Thanks for that. Today here my problem :

I got to have a "cheap" chinese phone, a replic. of a HTC sensation (box say Star a3...) with already IceCream.

I have it as a second phone: running, swimming pool, often lying in the car...

the problem I have, is that form time to time, the phone lose the sound. Never-mind I change to silent and back to normal; never-mind apps like "Wired Headset Routing Toggle"; never-mind if it is the music playing, the incoming call's ring, or the morning alarm. The problem persist ...

I hadn't found what causes the sound to disappear, but the only option to get it back working is to reset the phone, very often only after unplugging the battery and turn it on again (software restart often do not solve the problem)

Something "funny", when the sound get lost, the back speaker emits a "dik-dik-dik" very low instead of the expected sound.

seems to be nothing about hardware, because a reset makes it working again, but neither a software because just restarting the phone often so not solve the problem...

does anybody knows something about it that can light me up a little ?

as said, I have it as a second phone (first is a real sensation) so my arm-band, car dock and so is reusable, so I wish not to "return and get back the money paid", but trying to make it work.

Hi, you dont look on Chinese phone forum? Look around gooigle for some forum and look for an update for your handy. When you dont found a rom,look for the same on your handy and flash it. Maybe my answer help. And you need to find many answer for your handy, because its a cheap copy and make a long way around the world from china.

Hey guys, I'm hoping someone can help me out. I've tried searching the forums and using different methods to recover it, but none have worked so far.

SO I flashed the ICS Domination theme over Diet ICS rom, stuff was continuously force closing, so I factory wiped with the intention of re-flashing just the rom... after a reset the phone was stuck on the samsung boot screen.

I've tried using Odin to load the stock Rogers rom, it says it worked, but trying to boot the phone up its stuck on the samsung boot screen.
