I believe most people face this problem. I hv no solution to it, but I personally believe this is not a hardware prob and it can be solved. Hope to start this thread so everyone can discuss this together and come up with something.
got this from other thread...

put registry editor shortcut in \windows\startup
put wififix.reg in \Program Files
all this does is set the HTCPreloadwifi=1 everytime i need to reset my device. i think the problem is the value was resetted to 0 everytime you reset your device. That's why the wifi doesnt work. not sure if this works for everyone. but for me its working nearly everytime.

is this a good idea?
Pehaps it is useful to give some more specific details. Indeed there are several users that run in to these problems, but many more (including myself) never experienced any misbehaviour whatsoever. There must be a difference somewhere.....
i faced the prob which when u set the HTCPreloadwifi to 1, it revert back to 0 after soft reset. then i found that this is actually bcoz of the file "WiFiInit", which is in the startup. so i removed it from the startup, set the HTCPreloadwifi to 1, then power off and on it instead of soft reset (soft reset might work, just play safe.)

rondol1, will you stay here in this thread. who knows, we might spot the difference between your "working" device and our "half-working" device. appreciate that.
The point is, I never changed anything after flashing the ROM and WIFI works right away. I have noticed that with WEP encryption enabled things don't go that smooth. Without security OR with WPA enabled, I don't experience any problems with WIFI. About Bluetooth, I really don't use it, only to connect my TomTom GPS receiver and that give no problem whatsoever. But that comparison isn't fair, cos the TomTom app takes care of it by itself, without the general WM6 settings.
Perhaps it's good to mention that I use the latest WM6 builds, I red your post in some threads from older ROM's too. Could be that those earlier release had more bugs on this point.
i'm using Fantastic Mobiz v2.0b4....actually wanna to load up other new wm6, but instead of avoiding, i think we shd try to solve the problem..
anyway, i am thinking about whether there is anything wrong with the registry that caused the prob, or any 3rd party software that is interrupting the bluetooth's functioning. is there any way to "compare" the registries?
I don't know, but I hardly use any 3d-party software. And about solving the probs on early WM6 builds: isn't that a Microsoft job? If there is a problem in the OS, we don't gonna solve it by changing some regs!

haha...ya...but i meant a cooked version of wm6. the developer might hv added something which works on his but not on others. any assumption hv to take into consideration. i guess that is how most probs are solved.
seems like no one patronize this thread...ahah , anyway i will still try to update what i've discovered until the next version of rom is up. who knows, people might be desperate and found this thread. i just hope someone will join in the discussion or i will look like a bloody fool who participates in my own thread.
right now, i insert btdwake and btlauncher to my startup folder. it works most of the time (not sure it works bcoz of the files that i put in the startup folder).
i still think that it might be a registry problem. will compare the registry with a working set's one of these days.
I've got also a problem when trying to enble Wifi, what you've done exactly? Does it works?

hi Gaexu. well...it is easy to make things work, but problem lies on the steps that make them work. enabling my wifi is fine, but not perfect.
I suppose your prob is when u go to comm manager, click on the "Wlan", then u see the radar (loading), after that, nothing happened, the icon still show the grey icon with the cross.
steps:
1.)first you gotta remove a file called "WiFiInit" from \windows\startup\ folder.
2.)next, go to the registry using PHM Registry Editor. go to HKLM\Comm\TNETWLN1\Parms, there are 2 reg dwords - "HTCPreloadStatus" and 'HTCPreloadWifi". change their value to "1".
3.)power off the device and on it back.
the reason to remove "WiFiInit" from startup is bcoz it seems to cause "HTCPreloadStatus" value to revert back to "0" after a soft reset. actually i've remove a few more things from startup, but i dun think there is any "linkage".
sorry about this, but don't expect the wifi to be enabled as easy before upgrading (at least not for me). to enable the wifi for the first time (after you soft reset everytime), go to comm manager, click on WLAN. then the radar thingy comes out, rotate a few round and disappear. while it is rotating, observe the "G" on top, it changes to the wifi icon and revert back to the "G". that means wifi is detected. click on WLAN again, and same thing will happen. now, push the on/off button to black out the screen(standby mode) and turn on again. wifi comes alive.
i am too long winded. this is my first time in my life typing more than 6 lines in a forum. do let me know if it doesn't work. good luck.
Thanks for your help
The Wifi works, but just for about 30seconds or 1minute... then it turns off
does anyone know this problem?
I will try it again and again,
thanks

hv u change the value in the registry?
Yes, "HTCPreloadStatus" and 'HTCPreloadWifi" have the decimal value 1.
HTCResumeWifi = 0
I will retry it with another network (not the one from my University) maybe it works...
Gaexu, so how's your bluetooth? working perfectly?
i looked through the registry and found that many of the bluetooth keys are incomplete after comparing with other devices...but i need to extract more info from a workin prophet...
Hi scarymoviesg
Now my Wifi works perfekt (not with the one from the University but with all the others)
Thanks a lot!!!!!

I was having problems with my data connection not working so I reset the phone and restored with titanium backup. Got the data working again, but now there is no security lock. I can enter no numbers or any numbers and hit the OK button and the phone unlocks. When i go to location and security and click on change screen lock, the next screen appears briefly then closes. The swipe fingerprint button on that screen is greyed out. So the security feature is disabled.
I have all the files from an older titanium backup when the screen lock was working. I am wondering if there are any files i can replace to get it working again. Any ideas appreciated--
Fingerprint Restore Problem
If anyone finds a solution to this problem, would you mind posting it?
This is the second thread I have come across while looking for the answer, and like a lot of the time when the original poster figures out a fix, the solution is never posted in the forums.
I just ran into this problem this morning, and I'm running in circles trying to figure out a fix. I would greatly appreciate any help anyone could offer on the issue.
Thank you,
-Newbie

My screen lock is still disabled.
did anyone figure this out? im having trouble changing my screen lock. it keeps briefly going to the swipe finger authentification then popping back to the location and security settings screen. i cant change anything
Is there anyone who can help with this?
I seriously want to throw my phone at the wall right now...
I just flashed my Atrix and reloaded all backups from titanium pro and the issue I'm having has to do with my security settings. Every time I click on "Change Screen Lock" the prompt for my fingerprint comes up for a second and then goes away.
I had a fingerprint prior to the flash and I believe that's why I'm having an issue. I've already tried clearing data in Titanium pro for my settings and my fingerprint scanner 2.2.1.
I can't think of anything else to do, any help would be appreciated.
I shouldn't reply to this with an answer because YOU should know how to search as this has been discussed many times before (4 old threads that i can count).

Yeah, well I didn't see those threads so maybe you know something I don't...
Anyway, I don't understand that fix. I ended up just deleting the backup in titanium and flashing again, now all is well.
Thanks for the help any way.

You're not searching right. There have been at least two threads about this issue just here in the XDA forums that I've answered this in.

Though please note that my fix only works if you have root. Do you have root?

ok, thanks i´m sorry for the mistake i didn´t search it that way, besides the name of the post is quite different from that i´ve searched but still thanks for the help man, and i´m not root yet, i´m a little affraid of rooting my phone because when the screen is black in the camera app, there are zones of the screen that looks a little bit darker than the others, and i think soon i´m gonna have to take it to warranty, that´s the main reason of why i don´t root my phone
I'm having some serious issues trying to fix my girlfriends tablet. It's a Motorola Xoom running Android 4.1.2. The issue it's having is that even though the tablet is connected to the internet none of the apps (play store, YouTube, etc) will connect. They all say 'no internet connection'. The only way I know the tablet is actually connected to Wi-Fi is that the internet browser still works. This might be unrelated to the issue but every single website I go to it gives me the warning 'Security warning: There are problems with the security certificate for this site'. It's very annoying. Sometimes I will have to hit cancel 10 times before the warning goes away.
I'm hoping that this is something I can fix without doing a complete reset because there are pictures and stuff I don't want to lose. Since I can't connect to google play I can't back them up to am app like dropbox either.
I hope someone here can help me fix this, thanks in advance.
Okay well if anyone is wondering I found a fix for this. Somehow the date reverted back to 01/02/1999 and I had to go to the date and time settings and sync it with the network. Hopefully this will help solve someones future frustration since I couldn't find a single thing about this after hours of searching for a solution.
Embarrasing as it is, I'm sure this has happened to many others ever since the introduction of the very first kinds screen locks. I have a Samsung A10, which can be assumed why I'm in this specific thread. I would really appreciate if someone could assist me in unlocking my phone. Some points for whoever reads this: I have never rooted my phone, it has no custom recovery or anything really done to it. USB Debugging is not enabled on it either, and I really do NOT want to lose my data. I currently have a pattern saved as the password and as mentioned I forgot it and I have had no access to anything thus far, I've been searching for hours on the internet trying to find a solution. All of which require something that needs another thing to be present for it to work, like using ADB commands, I need USB Debugging enabled I've tried using Aroma File Manager and to no avail it does not work, and then from what I perceived, I need CWM for it to work. LIKE WHY DID NO ONE MENTION THIS!!! At the end of the day, i don't mind doing a factory reset just as long as I can access my data and store it safely, my problem really just revolves around my data of which I really wish to not lose. I sure many would understand that I'm very frustrated and I'm earnestly requesting some assistance in regard of my dilemma.
