Hi there,
Long time lurker. I'm no programmer and so thought I'd have nothing usefull to say aside from inane comments about upcoming projects just creating more mess to read through.
So now is my time to shine, well, what i mean is ask you guys for help. so here goes.
Firstly I'd like to make it clear this problem occurs when my phone is unplugged from usb...
Ok so every time i flash something to my phone, (either a rom or a radio) my Wifi will work just fine for around a day, and then packs up. It greys out, and on the comm manager screen it will not switch back on. Hd2 thinks about it for a few seconds, and then gives up. I've gone to every single settings page where turning Wifi on is an option, and still it lies there dead. Just to clarify, I'm not turning Wifi on and not finding any networks, or only certain networks,,, the adapter simply will not turn on.
If common sense serves me well, this feels like something is messing with my radio rom after installation. The same happens when booted into android, so i don't think it's an OS issue.
I've tried as many different Rom and Radio combinations as i feel is necessary to figure out that I need to ask you guys.
Any help would be highly appreciated as I love this phone (got it a couple of weeks ago) and even enjoy trying to figure out all the problems it seems plagued with but just can't figure this one. I live in england a bought a TMOUS on ebay so that's my model.
P.S I searched and searched and searched before posting and only found one other thread with this problem but it never really came to fruition.
Many thanks in advance,, Babble over.

hey everybody
I must say, I love this phone. Coming from an HTC S710, I really must say that it has improved in so many ways that it makes the S740 pretty much the phone I always wanted.
However, there is one thing that keeps annoying me, maybe someone else has also made this experience: My Wifi sometimes acts up. What I mean is, sometimes (read hardly ever) it works just like its supposed to, most of the times it takes somewhere between 30 seconds and up to 4 minutes to.. well, I dunno exactly, to load the driver I suppose, and occassionally it won't switch on at all. A soft reset will fix this most of the time.
I have yet to find out what triggers this. Also, I have tried several hard resets, and even with a completely clean device, literally seconds after whiping it completely, this behaviour consists..
Please share if you have experienced something similar

I had problems with Wifi on my devices in the past. Switching power mode (Settings->Connections->WLAN settings->Power Mode) to maximum performance always helped, therefor I automatically switched it on my S740.
You should give it a try. If that doesn't help I would say you probably have a faulty unit.
Yeah, I remember that from my S710. Wifi wouldn't work properly if it wasn't set to max performance. Already tried that, to no avail. Will have a replacement in a couple of days, maybe I just got a lemon this time..
[update]
received a new unit today, no more such problems. must have been a faulty unit.
Glad to hear that.
Wifi driver
can anyone help me in downloading the wifi driver for HTC s710
can anyone help me find the wifi driver for HTC s740???
i downloaded a progam, that made my sound go boom, i uninstalled it and later i tried to turn on wifi, it goes off after about 2secs..
WTF!?
Edit: Solved o'o
It works! I mean yor advice! Thank ya! ;]

Thank you man. That helped me a lot. I thought that i have a faulty unit.
Greetings
So for some reason, every night (overnight) the phone will lose signal (perhaps the strength isn't the best in my bedroom) so when I wake up I have no signal.
Unfortunately, when I then venture out, the phone will not pick up a signal again. Its almost like it's a bug that once signal is lost it has real trouble finding it again.
The only solution is to reboot. Setting airplane mode on and off again doesn't help.
Its starting to annoy me, has anyone else seen this behaviour?
Hey mate. Have you tried a factory reset? What bout flashing the Omega ROM? (Has a different radio inside).
Also, have you tried changing from Auto Select Operator to explicitly choosing Optus? I know Optus only has one network (as opposed to Telstra who have Telstra and 3Telstra) but just something that sprung to mind as worth trying.
Hi mate. I imagine its definitely a radio/kernel issue so I'm hoping a custom rom will fix it.
A mate of mine said he had the same problem with his Nexus when that first came out.
I'll have a look at your suggestions, thanks
Yup, every night.
Apparently the issue with the Nexus was to do with the phone putting the radio to sleep after a while, then never waking it up until rebooted.
Annoying.
In case anyone's actually reading this, I had the phone replaced yesterday and this morning I still had signal, so that's promising. I'll keep an eye on it.
That's good to hear mate. Keep us posted.
Hey lads, so ive been here on this forum for a long time and got a LOT of resources for my note and other phones so thank you ALL for that over the years. Now onto my problem. I started having the reboot problem where it will automatically reboot after a few seconds of booting up. I know there are threads concerning this and the usual suspect is the power button, concerning which I have messed with it, cleaned it, kissed it, caressed it, (ok seriously now) i shaved it down a bit so it wont be making unnecessary contact. I even removed the button completely. The first time i did it it seemed to work for a couple days but then it started again. I saw threads indicating it could be a battery issue as well so i ordered a new oem battery and unfortunately that didnt work either. Im just about ready to toss it (no warranty) but i thought i'd put this out there in case any 'higher level' users here may have any final insight to give me before i do that. I always appreciate advice and help of any sort so I'll go ahead and thank you all in advance
Thanks! :laugh:
looking forward to hearing from u lads.
Edit: oh and it doesn't happen in recovery or download mode. It just stays on no problem. I have flashed new and original roms, kernels, recoveries using odin etc. all to no avail
So I recently got my old bricked evolte replaced by Sprint. The one I was given worked fine the entire time the device was powered on. However, once turned off and back on, its screen would not work. It stayed like this for hours, until I finally started playing with it and realized it would come back on after playing with it for a little bit. I also found out that with this error the home screen pops up for a second when powering on your device, and that's exactly what I had. I read up on the error and found out it was a software error, and to reset to factory settings. So, this fixed it, I thought.
So now, after it is apparently fixed, it still does this to some extent. It will do this if the phone has been powered on for a while, and the screen won't stay off for more than like 2 or 3 minutes. Also the home screen doesn't pop up any more like it used to with the other error.
So what should I do? I was thinking of going to Sprint, but my problem is hardly reproducible. It only happens when it's been powered on for a long time, and won't do it twice in a quick succession. I feel that even if I could show them the problem, they might think they've fixed it when they haven't because it won't do it twice. I would like to root my device, but I'm afraid they're going to say that I'm the cause of the problem if I do that. If it's just a software problem though, maybe flashing a custom rom would fix the problem.
What do you guys think? What do you think is the best course of action? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Never mind, I didn't know Sprint would order you a new phone if it was a minor problem like that. I thought they would only repair yours. So feel free to close this thread.
My Verizon XT912 has done some strange things over the last few days. Firstly, when we went in to upgrade another phone, my service was interrupted about every 10 seconds or so, switching between 4g to 3g to no service and the only way to get it back was to restart the phone. Even then, the phone would only get signal for a few minutes, ultimately resulting in no service. Now, even on the stock rom, will not display a signal in an area where all of our other phones display full 4g signal (I have the triangle outline with the crossed circle) and the phone restarts when any app is selected, or even when left alone. I personally think something failed on the motherboard. What do you think?
I have the same phone and am having the same problem. I am pretty damn good with phones and have had a long time to mess with this one so know it pretty well. I have had this problem before and was able to fix it using RSD although I had to try many times. I tried a ton of different things and in the end have no idea what fixed it. I highly doubt it is a hardware problem, as when I fixed it the first time the phone was much faster than it had been in a long time. I am convinced it has to do with roms/partitions and the way the stock rom is flashed to it through fastboot. Right now I am once again for the 4th time stuck with this problem and when/if I come up with a better answer for you and other people I will make a thread with all the details I have about this specific problem and how to fix it because there are a lot. One thing I know is that anytime I have had this problem SU of any kind had serious issues, no matter what app (Superuser/SuperSU), or rom, or slot I was using, hence the theory it isn't inherently hardware related... that and the fact that I fixed it twice months ago, a couple days ago, and am stuck on it now. I hope to have some more info for you and everyone else on this soon as I haven't been able to find ANYTHING related to this so far after many many many hours of searching. If you or anyone else has anymore info on this or that might in some way help with this please post it here. I will be watching this thread for a while.
