Just put a new Sim card in my phone (switched carriers) and now my WiFi refuses to turn on. I have tried to reset the network settings, switch back to the old Sim, and even factory reset my phone. When I go into my settings and look at my phone's status, I have no WiFi MAC address, it just shows "Not Available". I'm pretty sure it broke, but I want to see if I can fix it somehow software wise before I go and buy replacement parts.
E1: BT still works, so it is not the modem.
E2: Removing Root has not worked either.
E3: Can't force on with ADB.

I enabled Data and disabled "2G Only"
But it doesn't use any data!
I paid for a one month...
Help?
Are there any Access Point Names? If your data connection doesn't know where to access the network, it won't.
How can I make one??
Doesn't 3G or Data connection should be automatic??
Go to Settings > Wireless > Mobile Network > Access Point Names
Then menu button, and Reset to default !
Make sure Data Enabled is checked in Mobile Network settings
If reset-to-default fails:
Go to the site of your carrier, they will have instructions to automatically set your phone, and if they don't support your phone, they will tell you how you can set it manually.
Unfortunately nothing works!
I think that phone itself doesn't have 3G!
Or maybe MiniCM....
Because I inserted my SIM into another phone (GS2) and the Data worked without any problems and automatically!
Weird... it's working now!
Maybe after using it in another phones did something?
My guess is: you turned your phone off to get the sim out and turned it back on with your sim inserted again AND data connection on... it probably searched for networks at the sim-initialization during boot. If you had left data connection off it probably still wouldn't have worked lesson learned i suppose. good luck
I have recently lost my data connectivity while toggling Use packet data. Since then I have tried resetting the APN, restarting the phone, disabling SIM lock, even a factory reset, but still no trace of the"E" sign, this is also the case with other SIM cards. How can I ever fix this ?
Hi all,
I've been using my Samsung Galaxy W for quite a while now, but have only recently given any serious attempt at setting up the phone's 3G connection. I have entered the correct APN data for my provider - using Telstra after unlock - and all settings are correct, as I was initially successful in getting a data connection. However, I ran into an issue when I shut down my phone. Whenever I start the phone back up, I get a glimpse of the 3G icon in the message tray, but after Media scanner has done its thing, that 3G icon then disappears. Initially I could no longer connect via 3G, no matter what settings I fiddled with.
Eventually, I found that the only way to fix the error was to dial *#*#4636#*#*, access the phone info menu, and then to manually enable the data connection. Even more confusing is that when I hold down the power button, my phone states that the data connection is already, and always was, enabled. My packet data is also on... and the phone has not put itself in flight mode. Also, as I said, the APN settings are definitely correct.
Does anyone know why I must manually enable the data connection whenever I restart my phone?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Phone is rooted and running gingerbread 3.3.6
Yeahhhh so my old phone was having some issues so Sprint got me a new (refurb) LTEVO. Phone looks great, but it doesn't connect to wifi no matter what I do. I've already tried factory resetting, setting to 2.4ghz only, and nothing, wont connect. Tried on my WPA2 network at home, as well as our WPAe at work. Exact same symptoms. The phone will randomly see the networks, so naturally I select it and enter my credentials. Immediately the phone will say the network is out of range. A few minutes later it'll pop-up in range again, I try to connect, same thing.
I thought it may be related to the wifi antenna on the phone but it seems to be okay. I already did a factory reset and no change.
What are the chances I got a dud phone? I want to root and install CM10.1 but I don't even know if it's worth it if I'm going to have WIFI issues and will have to take the phone back anyway.
Anyone run into this?
Does it work on a WiFi that doesn't have a password

Just tried, same issue. As soon as I hit connect it doesn't even bother trying to connect. It immediately says "saved" under the network I tried connecting to, and within moments that network disappears. When it reappears it says 'not in range'.
I think this phone is hosed.
Hello,
I can connect to all the Wifi but home Wifi which stubbornly rebuffs me with 'Network access denied'. The issue happened after I came back from a trip to france then China and tried to connect. I live in HK and the network (that had not changed) could be detected, but connection impossible. All other Wifis are fine... and this happening 2 weeks after I bought this phone..
I tried to reboot restart the phone, forget the network and reconnect to it, changing SSID of the phone, changing IP address. The phone won't connect.
When I go in 'Setting, Backup and restore', I find no possibility to reset all the networks, contrary to the possibility that seems to exist on other Huaweis>> Is this normal or this could be linked to a phone issue ?
So basically I am totally stuck after trying in total 2 hours of everything I found on the Internet.
If the last option is to totally reboot the phone to its infancy factory state, I am afraid it will be more painful to reinstall everything rather than having no Wifi.
Do you have an idea of something else I could try ? Thanks for your help
