[Q]WiFi Woes "Turning on... Error" - HTC EVO 3D

After having the phone nearly a week I'm still having problems with the WiFi.
Fine for day one, then noticed when I took it out of my pocket a day later or so that WiFi stated "Error" and couldn't initialize, This happens continously now and sporadically at random intervals (Reboot does not appear to fix it but keep trying does seem to)
Anyone know of this or how to fix it? Or is it just a dodgy handset? (I've still got a couple weeks to swap it over luckily)
I've searched the forums and found something about the same issue after a flashed kernel but I am COMPLETE STOCK, EXCEPT For Root and S-OFF and even restoring to a compeltely basic almost "Out of the box" image does not appear to fix it.
I flashed my Radio today to see if it helps but it doesn't look like it currently.
Any help appreciated (Hope this is in the right forum.

this error is generally caused by a mismatch between the loaded kernel and the loaded wifi module.
the loaded wifi module must be compiled with and match the loaded kernel. flashing a kernel and then loading a custom rom (which loads its own modules overwriting the modules from the kernel) is generally the way this error occurs.
how you rooted the device could lead to the above wifi error i.e. custom ROM with root, which could result in the above situation, or just flashing superuser.apk which wouldn't result in the above situation.
the part of your comments which stands out to me is that the issue appears to be intermittent. i think the best suggestion and approach, at this point, would be to load a completely stock system.
if the wifi issue still persists, even though it is intermittent, it should be hardware related as my device has never had this type of wifi issue and i'm on a stock ROM. if you're on stock and still have this issue, i would def take it back as it would appear to be hardware related. hopefully the wifi issue will occur while you're at the store making it easy to demonstrate the issue.
hope that helps, good luck!
