Unable to start Wi-Fi

I have had a problem develop recently and I have not really changed anything that I can think of to cause this problem but my phone will not connect to wifi.
first of im on cm5.0.5.3, epe54b and im running launcher2... the problem is if i go to turn wifi on it just says "unable to start wifi" and I cannot check the box to turn it on...
now i could go back to one of my nandroids or reset everything but I dont really care to because I would rather figure out this problem as-is... any ideas?
I am wondering if a file got corrupted or something along the way, but more-less it was like one day it worked and the next day it said nope not gunna happen haha...

You need to copy in a compatible wifi driver to go with the new kernel.

like i said, i had everything working smooth and then after making no changes it all it came up with the issue...
on the other hand... it is working magically again between the time i first posted and now... i am going to see if i can get it to do it again and figure out what is going on

If it happens again I would recommend reflashing Cyan's rom and then gapps addon. You can do that without wiping so it shouldn't affect anything. If i continues after that, you may have to wipe and install.

JHaste, did you find a solution?

CM10 wi-fi issue

I guess everybody who flashed cm10 knows about this. Connecting to wi-fi takes a lot of tries to work, if at all. I managed to connect to my router at home, but it is super annoying to spend 20 minutes at work to reboot and change regional settings just to find out that it doesn't work at all.
Is there any solution to this? Have I done something wrong? Atm i'm running the latest nightly, but i also had the issue with the FXP 152.

Yes, its a well known issue. You could have asked in the cm10 discussion thread instead of starting a new thread here.
The trick is
1) Enable wifi, reboot
2) Search for network, reboot
3) Connect to network and enter password, reboot
4) This time do it all again and it will work.

So, the regional settings don't have anything to do with this issue?

Not that i know of, everytime i flash a cm based rom i just do those steps and it works.

Thanks then. Hope it gets fixed in the near future.

no need to write a post saying thanks..thats why there is a button. If you ever feel the need to thank anyone, just hit their buton and will be enough...

Wifi doesn't enable anymore

Hi all,
I'm running custom roms for almost 1,5 years on this phone and never had any problem.
But since a few weeks, i cannot turn my wifi on anymore.
I usually use 3G, but once I need to download some larger files (updates for example) I sometimes enable wifi. As I don't use wifi that much, I can't really then when this problem started.
When I try to enable wifi (swiping off -> on) it goes to on but the button stays "grey". Once I exit the settings menu, and reopen it again, it shows "off" again for wifi.
Turning it on via another menu doesn't make any difference too.
I already updated my roms, but still no luck. Tried difference modems as well, but no luck.
Bluetooth works the way it should, so it's only related to wifi.
I already tried renaming the "/data/misc/wifi/wpa_suppliant.conf" file, but after a reboot the system doesn't even recreate that file.
Also took the battery out for some time, but that didn't any effect at all.
Anyone that has some ideas what could this problem?
Thanks!

Try another kernel. Try reflashing your ROM too. BTW it's not modem related.
Smack that thanks button If I helped!
Always make a nandroid backup before trying anything risky.

Any kernel recommendations?
The phone is currently running AOSPA (Pananoid Android) 4-ALPHA, but without any difference when it comes to wifi.
Current kernel:
3.0.64-CM-g7fc3ce7

Go back to a stock rom and check. Wifi is kernel dependent.

[Q] Need a cm10 rom for htc desire c

Hello all
I was searching a cm10 rom for my htc desire c and found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265060
now my question is it: does mobile data work in this ROM?
I need a rom that work both wi-fi and mobile data.
I'm grateful to you for introducing me to something.
thanks a lot.

As far as the reviews go for this rom, mobile data works and WiFi is fixed in #build3 of Rom mentioned in the above link...
Sent from my HTC Explorer using xda premium

why the file has problem?
the file doesn't extract. boot.img is in the rom's file.

i am currently using this rom
hi i am currently using this ROM BUILD#3: ( WiFi Fixed ) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265060
this is almost perfect cm10 rom for desire C .
the only thing thats not working is FM radio as this is not there with any CM10 also i tried stock FM apk thisd party FM apps none of them works.
Now comming to WiFi - it works properly atleast for me .it connects normaly and also runs well .
the only problem that i face with wifi is that somtimes when i try to connect to my wifi it says authentication Err. so i tried with turning of the wifi password so after turning OFF password requirement for my home wifi it just connects instantly and not even single time i faced any problem with wifi password off. later i searched on the net for Android Wifi Authentication failed Err and came to know that this is a common problem with Android software mostly for JellyBean. so i obviously searched for its solutions and tried most of them which sometimes worked and somtimes did not worked and i did not want to keep my WiFi connectoin without password as it is not safe.
so i came up with my own simple solution which works every time form me on this ROM by cute prince. what i do is i when i want to connect to my home WiFi(with password ON) i enter the password and i get connected ,,then after using it for many hours or minutes if i dont want to use the wifi i simply do not TurnOFF the wifi of my phone ,,instead before disconecting i do is "forget the network" option this after that i turnOFF the wifi of my phone and afterwards when i want to reconnect to my wifi i turnON the wifi of my phone and select my wifi network then it asks for password,,(bcoz previously b4 truning off wifi i did forget the network option)..so i enter the password for y wifi and then i get connected instantly so this i how i got my problem solved but its safe simple ,needs no other third party app or or anything just simply reconnect and enter the password every time i want to connect.(NOTE-Authentication fault has got nothing to do with e rom made by cuteprince its a common problem with jellybean so pls dont do mistake of associating this problem with ROM do some research and youll come to know that thousands of people face this problem,,so if there was a problem with the rom then the wifi woulnoteven turnONN in the phone)
this ROM is just almost perfect and let me tell you its 100 times better than stock rom in terms of perfomance ,battery life improved massively ,,etc
every thing mentioned on the thread by cuteprince is true for the things that wworks.
so yes i do recomend this rom to try it if you want to.
Soon ill be sharing the Video that i made while installing this rom on my desire C which can help you .
---------- Post added at 01:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 AM ----------
hi here is the link to the video that i recorded while installing rom as i mentioned earlier
recording quality i not very good as its recorded with a vga cam of gioneel800 but that was the only camera tht i had at that time so u have to bare the quality and also its very shaky video as i was doing both the things recording and installing .
also there will be some balckout that means i m either connecting to pc usb or something else.
if i get time later ill upload a better version of this vid for now i just changed the orientation of video and added my name in caption.
pls do not upload this vid anywhere else .
this vid is just for refrence i should not be held responsible for anything wrong you do during your installation .
one more thing i had already unlocked my bootloader ,,rooted the phone and also installed clockwordmod so these parts are not shown in the video .
the video only shows installation of rom and gapps and firstboot after installation of CM10.
hope it helps

You don't have to extract anything. Just download N.O.P.E. or Prometheus kernel and flash that, then flash the ROM.

no. you don't need to flash the kernel in this ROM zip file. Flash the N.O.P.E or Prometheus kernel first, then wipe cache and dalvik cache and then flash the ROM.

Oh no.
I completely do all works and levels but after reboot Rom Not applicable and it stay on htc mark.
what should i do?

i never flashed any kernel with this rom
fyi i never flashed any kernel i have stock kernel i did not use nopr or prometheiuis i just have stock nernel
all i did was
1- Full Wipe means format /system, /data, /cache
2-flash ROM
3-flash gapps
4-fash boot.img ,,flash it using "fastboot flash boot boot.img" command from pc
..i dont remember whether i used boot.img from the cm10 rar file but the file which i used is this https://www.mediafire.com/?d4s699whdj9cq3i
one thing i suggest you to do i do make a video of the entire installation process and share it here so that by seeing that vid other experienced users can help you.
i hope have seen the video that i shared and did somewhat similiary to that bcoz the process that i followed i the same process which cuteprince has written there and let me tell you this htc desire C i my first ever android phone and the first ever android phone i rooted and the first ever android phone on which i myself without help of any one personaly helping i manged to install CM10 on my phone. note i did a lot of reasearch before trying it out you have to know the concepts not just reading 2-3 lines but get deep into it then only you will unserstand why v are doing what in a particular step (i dont know how experienced your so im suggesting it),,i spent entire day reading about it and then only i tried it out and i was lucky to find right files and right guide and i followed it and then i was succesful.

Are you sure you flash the N.O.P.E. v2.6 kernel or Prometheus kernel for cm10 and not sense? If you have flashed the cm10 one, then try flashing the lowest frequency kernel. Possibly the 767 MHz one.

I test it with 750 MHz and it's correctly worked.
but it's low frequency.
how others use higher frequncy?

The processor of each phone is different. Some processors can be overclocked ore than others. Yours probably can't handle very high frequency.

hi today i came to know about a major bug or dont know what to say to it
hi today i came to know abt a major bug or a fault or a forgetton thnig or dont know what to call it.
its related to charging of mobile under switch off condition.
its like this --if i keep my desire c OFF and then connect it to my charger> the normal default stock charger adapter or whatever you call it .
so when my phone is OFF and i wnat to charge it in OFF condition
1-i turn off my phone ok:good:
2-conect it to the charger:good:
3-i power on the charger by pressing the switch for the wall outlet and suddenly im taken into the recovery mode that i the CLOCKWORK mode im like what??:cyclops:
4-then i check it again the same process and all the time im taken into recovery mode when i connect my charger to phone in switch off condition. and its not just with one charger at same socket but i tried with 3chargers that i have and at all the sockets in my house .
so i dont know how to solve this and as far as i remember i haVe not enabled any such setting as i never saw any setting like that.
so i exactly dont know if its a bug that s causing it or what?

Flash minicm10. That ROM doesn't have this problem.

Dear Friend ... I Think if you switch into the Stuck / Android Rev , You would enjoy them more ... Because CM ROMs Don't have a good interface and also the are some kind of experimental and you can't expect them that make every thing work because they aren't suitable for the Device ... also I Recommend you not to OC because it makes your CPU survive less also more OC means shorter CPU life ... So if it works properly Just I Don't recommend you to OC it ... Good Luck
With Best Wishes

No connection in certain apps

Hi guys, I've had a problem for some time now and it's driving me nuts.
Basically some apps just lose internet connection after some time. Facebook and spotify are the most obvious.
In Facebook I can see the news feed but if try to read comment or reply it gives me an error. If I log out of the app I can't log in as it says I have no connection. If I open Facebook via Chrome I have no problem whatsoever.
Spotify is also giving me problem. If I search something I get the no connection error. But if I open a Playlist that was recently played I can open it with no problems..
Everytime a new firmware comes I update it, it works well for some days and then I start having these problems again..

Factory reset. If that doesn't fix it use Xperia companior to repair your phone.

OK i just tried both methods and it didn't work.. I{m now going to reflash the FW

Yup, reflashing the FW worked... I really do not understand what is going on. Let's see how long it will last this time.

OK so after re rooting the phone and installing all apps via titanium I'm getting that problem again.
If a reflash the fw again it works and then I reroot and back to the same problem again.
Of note I'm using xperifix with magisk 17.1 and I'm on the latest fw customized latam. I really don't know what to do but this is enfuriating..

I think i had the same problem. Disabling "mobile data always active" in developer settings seemed to do the trick aswell as rebooting the phone every few days. Try if that helps
