Since I upped my radio to 1.4 I have had a problem with my WiFi not enabling. I am using ROMS cooked up in DCD's Kitchen 1.6.9 and 1.6.10 and am using the 10 Button Kaiser style CommManager. When I turn WiFi on it turns back off within a second or two. I am having the same problem in either ROM and I just re-flashed the Stock 2.09 Verizon ROM back in and although there is no WiFi button on the CommManager the WiFi status is saying off when I look at the advanced tab of the Wireless LAN settings.
I am reasonably sure this started when I went to Radio 1.4 as WiFi used to work for me. I have also gone up to and back down from the 2.13 radio and that does not seem to affect the issue. This confuses me because I read other threads where folks talk about WiFi in both of these radio versions.
Has anyone else seen symptoms such as this?
Thanks,
Ks.
have u tried soft set or hard set or updating the radio ?
Yep, the only radio I have not tried is 1.47 but others aparently have WiFi working with 1.4 and 2.13. I am thinking there must be something else, perhaps in the extROM, that is causing me problems since this problem seems to transcend Kitchen versions and the stadard VZW ROM.
Thanks,
Ks.
No prob.....
Are you sure the WiFi slide switch on the side is turned on? I am not able to ever use a software switch to enable/disable WiFi

Oh boy
Thank you for pointing out the obvious to me and the symptoms certainly fit that diagnosis. As an ex-6700 user I absolutely forgot about that dang switch. All is working again.
I hate doing stupid things.

I learn from experience like everyone. I came from the i730 and I still catch myself using a PhoneAlarm button on the today screen.
I know this is not supposed to be able to happen, but on two occasions today and since upgrading to new radio and DCD 3.0 my wifi has turned on and detected networks with the wifi switch set to off, not sure why this is happening and I can not duplicate it on demand, trying to turn on wifi with the switch of via comm manager still does not work. Trying to find some kind of pattern but it has only happened twice.
Perhaps with the new radio there is a way to turn it on and off via software, or perhaps my switch is malfuntioning.
I had a similar experience as well.
I noticed it when I soft reset (not all the time, but 1/10 maybe?) and when trying to activesync, it would sometimes turn on.
I wish there was a way to figure it out, this means that it should be possible turn on wifi via software doesn't it?
Now that you mention it one of the times it came on was right after a soft reset.
Yep, this is becoming a well known problem.....well, for me not a big problem, just a slight annoyance....in the new ROM/Radio. It must have something to do with the radio, because I never experienced this in any other ROM. I'm wondering if WLAN may be turning on when there are short lapses in carrier coverage, and when an app (like activesync....I sync my e-mail using outlook)is trying to be connected to data (the internet). I just turn it back off when it turns on by itself. It doesn't ever seem to turn OFF by itself when I'm actually using WLAN.
EDIT:
one thing that may support my theory is that when you do a soft reset, it takes a bit to connect to the carrier network, and this just happens to be one of the times that WLAN turns itself back on..
And yeah, the battery usage definately sucks....plus when WLAN is turned on, and you're not connected to an access point, you could have data throughput issues as it keeps trying to see if it can connect through WLAN and/or radio......
I need it fixed , I didn't catch it earlier and my battery lost 85% today wihtout me even using my phone. Normally I get 2 full days I haven't really used my phone today and was fully charged this morning now I am at 15%, very poor performance for my typical use.
I am running dcd's 3.0.1 on my XV6800 and noticed that the wifi will turn on with the switch in the off position. It has happened to me a half dozen times or so. It only does it while I am on a call. Any suggestions? Has a solution been found yet? Any help is appreciated!
Same here, but has only happened a of of times.

It only appears to happen while in a call for me as well...it happened with no additional software installed at that point so I'm certain it has something to do with the rom itself...I'm guessing the new radio but who knows for sure...
shame here
i know what it is guy its wifirouter setting changes it makes all phones with this app will have the same deal!

And I hvae never had the problem. (and I do run wmwifirouter)
i saw this when the kitchen first came out as well. i also saw that it wanted to connect to a roaming alot more than it should as well.
sprint will tell you to set you phone roaming settings to "sprint only" the phones and ROMs come with "automatic" enabled.
my sprint buddy told me long ago to change this from auto to sprint only. soft reset. let it conect to a good sprint connection. then switch back to "auto" and soft reset.
i haven't did this for a year or so, but when i started seeing the roaming icon after many of the soft resets i thought about it. since i did this i haven't seen the roaming nor the wifi bug.
i think it is the theory that when you softreset the phone set on auto looks for the first tower, which could be a roaming tower. this takes a little too long to conect. in this longer than normal connection time when something like activesync wants to connect and has no internet connection it will enable wifi to connect if it has to.
i have noticed in the past with other ROM's as well that if your phone is in flight mode and you soft reset. as soon as activesync tries to connect and cant it will turn on wifi.
try this. turn on flight mode. soft reset. open active sync and hit sync. you'll see.
so for the record... this is not a dcd bug, but rather a windows mobile bug. wm 5 and 6. the best fix is to set it to sprint only or do the trick i stated above.
Are any of you running the HTC Home Plugin with the weather patch?
Because I installed it on my XV6800 and on a soft reset the WiFi was acting wacky. As if it was looking for a signal.
All I did to correct this issue was to disable automatic roam / download of the weather.
Well what I noticed so far is this, mostly happens after a soft reset, but sometimes it does it at random. Only happens when I have DCD 3.0.1, I am not seeing it with any other custom rom and I think I have tried them all. I have not had any roaming icons or the like and with telus customizations on you have two options for network, there is standard and automatic.
The only reason I hold on to it being dcd 3.0.1 is that no other version 3.35rom I've installed has done it, the ones I have installed off the top of my head are the stock sprint rom, DCD 3.0, 3.0.1, no2chem 5053, and two others that I can't remember as well as my own stripped down version of the stock sprint rom.

Did you have this issue with your Stock ROM?
I only ran the stock 3.35 rom for about a day but I seem to recall it happened then as well. I didn't think it was necessarily DCD's rom but was an issue with the new radio. I'll try the steps cody recommended and see if that does the trick.

Nor have I.
I just switched to sprint only, and after a soft reset, the wifi did not turn on as usual.

No I did not, however I also did not have it on there very long. I flash often, and I am constantly tweaking, "My name is jjlwork have a flashing problem" lo
Interestingly enough I am able to reproduce by following cody's instructions with the flight mode -> soft reset -> activesync
So I rooted my TB soon after I got it, flashed BAMF 1.5 in combination with imoseyon's kernels and everything was kosher. I used Navigation frequently, had no GPS lock problems, etc etc. This was the case all the way up through BAMF 1.6 remix/imoseyon 2.2 (running extreme, the under-volted 1.41). Recently, however, since (as accurately as I can pinpoint) BAMF 1.6.2, my GPS not only locks very slowly (5min+), but after locking, it will also reboot the phone. I've downloaded GPS Status from the market and looked through that, I've changed my pool from north-america to us, and quite frankly I'm just out of ideas and I can't find anyone else who has had this same exact problem.
I'm currently running...
BAMF 1.6.3 remix w/ some of Pilot's mods
Imoseyon's v2.4 kernels, currently the extreme (under-volted 1.41)
1.12.605.6 CDMA and 1.13.605.7 LTE radio
CDMA Radio version: 1.16.00.0223r
LTE radio version that came with 1.13.695.7
Right now I'm going to wipe data/cache/dalvik and re-flash 1.6.3 remix with the stock kernel and see what happens, but in case that doesn't fix is, does anyone have any clue whats happening?
Could be wrong, but i think its the Kernal. I had this exact problem. Switched from Extreme to normal and haven't had the issue since.
GPS still sucks for locking on. Have to open up nav, set my destination, then open up the gps status app and eventually it locks and the nav starts working. I've tried everything i can think of.

I'll give the kernel switch a shot. Did you do the switch with his speedtweak.sh, or did you flash a new one?
I've been working on this issue for a little over 24 hours now and haven't had any luck. Yesterday I toggled off my 4g using the menu that loads after entering *#*#4636#*#* into the dialer (i was trying to conserve battery life, but only briefly). I was running SHIFTAO5P at the time and for the life of me I cannot find the setting to re-enable the CDMA/LTE connection. When I first noticed the problem I decided, for some unknown reason, to reflash SHIFT and proceeded to effectively knee-cap my phone. It wouldn't boot so I flashed an old copy of BAMF2.0. Phone booted but only 3g was available. I tried two other ROMs in the hopes of fixing it, but to no avail. I finally flashed back to ****AO5P and still had the issue. I just finished flashing a new kernel and have tried 4 different radios. Still only getting 3g. Anybody have any ideas? FYI with each rom flash a full wipe WAS completed.
This thread can be disregarded. I finally just fixed it, albeit by accident. In the phone settings I had chosen every single option available and tested them out but I guess I finally got the order right. I guess if anyone else ever has this issue you can try this:
1)Enter the Phone Info menu via LTE Toggle or *#*#4636#*#*
2)Change to CDMA Only ( I got a force close of Phone.apk at this point but I went with it
3)Enter back into the Phone Info menu and you'll notice the selection has changed to "unknown"
4)Turn off the radio
5)Turn the radio back on.
6)4g connects
Help! I am currently running GeeWiz 2.6 but after 1-2 reboots my option, home and search button all stop working.
My back button still works and it hasn't been just in GeeWiz that I have experienced this issue, I have had this problem in both TSM and Superclean (which are basically the same but still).
This is weird but if anyone knows help!
Update 02/22/12 : The problem has gotten worse now all my buttons except for the back button don't work on 2.3 gingerbread stock that is flashed in Odin! I will flash 2.1 and 2.2 to see if anything works.
I had this same issue when I first bought my Fascinate. Is your phone in airplane mode? If it is, try disabling it and restarting. That should fix your problem.
I always have my phone in airplane mode seeing as it isn't even activated with verizon, I use alot of Voip so I shut of 3G to save some battery. It seems to have fixed my issue on stock, im going to ty this out with CM9 and see if it works but so far thanks dude!
No problem. As long as you remember to switch off Airplane mode before, or shortly after, rebooting, you should be okay. It's related to the Activation Screen, so this problem should go away entirely if/when you activate your phone.
