On March my phone died due to burned RAM IC so I send it to repair. After repairing the phone everything works just fine except Bluetooth. The Bluetooth would connect and disconnect unlimited times but i wasnt worry about it since I don't use Bluetooth. Couple weeks later I decide to restart my phone to see if it fixes the Bluetooth. Somehow it made it worse. I couldnt turn Bluetooth anymore. So today I restart my phone again and now I couldnt open Settings. I tried to factory reset and now I'm stuck at Internet Connection on the setup screen since i couldnt open setting to connect Wifi or mobile data.
TL;DR
Phone died
Send to repair
Everything works except Bluetooth
Restart phone
Bluetooth wont turn on
Restart phone again
Couldnt open settings
Factory Reset Phone
Stuck at setup because settings wont open

I've been using BlackBerry Connect on my Tilt for a few weeks, and it's worked well. Then yesterday night, the Tilt suddently stopped being able to boot past the Windows Mobile screen. I did a hard reset and restored a backup, and reinstalled BlackBerry Connect. Everything seems to be working fine, EXCEPT:
Every time I receive a message when the phone is powered off, it turns on. I don't get a message, and notifications aren't set to do anything when I get a new email. It doesn't even go to Messaging if it's not there already. It just turns on. And I'm going bonkers trying to figure out how to fix it--in part because I'm not sure if this is a BB Connect problem or a Messaging one or what.
Any suggestions? I see another message from someone reporting something similar, but saying it's the new Tilt ROM--and I haven't updated my ROM, so that's not the case here. But I *did* redownload the BB Connect application, so perhaps the new version is flaky?
Hello friends,
I have a very strange problem:
My WIFI suddenly stopped working. When I try to set it on in the comunictations section in the settings tab, it shows like it tryes to set it on but it stays off. even when i try to do it through the old winmo interface it cant set it on.
I tryed soft reset and even hard reset it twice.
nothing works.
any ideas?
if it try to connect and fail
the only way to get it working again is to pull the plug from the wifi
router for 10sec and reinsert it
same way with mine and on all handheld devices
my laptops don't seem affected
and if I set the ip gateway and dns manually the handheld can connect fine
so the issue must be with the dhcp in the router
It doesnet works
you dont understnad.
my WIFI device or driver just wont start.
i cant get it to ask for IP so it has nothing to do with DHCP.
it happens everywhere and every net
please help
i tryed to hard reset it again and it didnt help
anyone????
HELP!!!!
Have been talked about earlier.
Had the same problem with my first Diamond and it was replaced cause it was 3 days old.
I have mine for 8 month i think. maybe less.
shall i replace it?
nothing i can do?
Had my phone for a few months now and recently found that it can't connect to my secure network at home.
When I turn wifi on I get the dreaded connect/disconnect message while it constantly tries to connect to my network. If I leave it on then the battery will drain overnight while the phone tries to connect. I have an iphone which connects to the network no problem. As does my laptop etc
To try to fix this I deleted all my new apps, especially the push ones which give me news updates, etc but this has made no difference.
The weird thing is if I turn off my router's security then the phone will connect and works perfectly fine. I've tried using all the different security settings (even WPS) with new passwords etc and everything seems to setup fine on the phone except it just doesn't want to connect (or more accurately stays connected for a microsecond).
If I go back to an open network it connects immediately and stays connected.
I think this is the root cause of the wifi connection problems that many other people are getting. But I'm at a loss to try to understand why it won't pick up a secure network but works fine otherwise.
My phone is using 2.2.1 and has been rooted
Any thoughts?

Root the problem highly unlikely ..
Secure home network test .
Remove security from Router that is no password .
Remove that connection from phone .
Reboot phone let it pick up router and connect .
If it does then delete reset router password and add in phone .
jje
Thanks for suggested fix. I'll give it a go and let you know if it worked.
Root was a bad choice of word..... I meant that while looking for a solution to my wifi problem I noticed many other people complaining that they can't connect to a wifi network for one reason or another and I was thinking that maybe broken security is a common cause of many wifi connection issues.. In my case there was nothing physical at all to suggest that security was an issue, especially since all my other devices work fine on the same network.
Cheers
Hi, tried your suggestion but I still cant connect. The first time I rebooted the phone it knocked out my internet connection! I've setup a static IP address for my PC and the phone was insisting on trying to connect using the same address and creating a conflict. I fixed that so that's not the issue.
This is what I've tried..
I checked to make sure DHCP was enabled in the router, rebooted everything. No luck.
I tried adding an IP Address Reservation for the phone and assigning a dedicated static IP Address. No luck either
I tried connecting the device using WPS. It all went as it should - my router saw the device, added the mac address to the list of devices etc. The phone acknowledged the handshake. But again it still wont connect.
I checked the router log and it says "DHCP IP: (192.168.1.2)] to MAC address B4:07:F9:336:3D, Tuesday, May 24,2011 03:08:48" which I think is what it should say.
OK I've just fixed it!!! Or at least its connected.
All along I've been securing the network with WPA2-PSK. I just changed it to WEP and the phone connected immediately. I hadn't considered WEP because I read that its not that secure and I do all my banking etc through my PC.
I've tried all the other security options and only WEP works with the phone. I suspect its a compatibility problem between the phone and my router (a Netgear WNT834B v2) because both the phone and router work independently but not very well together. There's plenty of posts discussing the Galaxy S connecting to WPA networks so it can do it.
Now, after trying all the other security options. It won't connect again even on WEP. Bummer. It is acting slightly differently in that its trying to acquire an IP address instead of simply not connecting, although it doesn't seem to be able to find one.
I need to try this on a friends network and see if the router or the phone is to blame. I've no idea... but the phone's a bit too touchy for my liking
I had a similar issue, I had to reflash the ROM to get it to work. Backup all your contacts and stuff and then do a full factory resetting. See if that helps, if it doesnt, reflash the ROM. It should work.
Well I've spent the last few days looking into this issue and it's considerably more widespread than I first realised. The problem is that while many people have a wifi connection issue we all seem to have variations on a theme.
As I say in my case the phone will connect and stay connected to an open network but won't touch a secure one. I tried many suggested fixes and nothing's worked so I am now trying a factory reset.
A couple of questions: there appears to be two ways to do this, a factory data reset through the phone menu; and a hard reset using a combination of volume buttons, etc. The hard reset seems to be the deeper of the two.
When you say full factory setting which one did you mean? I am currently data resetting and therefore using the "authorised" Samsung reset
But how long does this process take? My phone has had a black screen and been vibrating every 10 seconds or so for the last hour. It's getting quite hot and there appears to be no end in sight. Has the phone hung or something? If it has how do I get out of this without bricking the phone? It's beginning to concern me because I'll have to do something real soon.
As an aside, in my search for a solution I found something that might help someone people (it didn't work for me). According to the bloke who posted it, the problem for everyone is that the wifi drivers have not been installed properly and if you enter *#*#526#*#* on your keypad it unlocks a service access that reinstalls the wifi driver. I tried it and the phone told me the software was installed successfully but no change.
Waited long enough so pulled the battery out and restarted the phone. I get the startup screen but after that the screen goes black and it vibrates again every ten secs and I can't get in.
Have to try the other reset.....
Things are going from bad to worse..
Have managed to start a full factory reset using the volume, power and home button but it's gone back into the black screen and vibrating every ten seconds.
I know Im going off topic here but Ive now reset the phone, wiped the cache, tried to apply the sd card update (aborted because it can't find the directory) and it always comes back to the black screen and vibrating every ten secs.
Am now trying to reflash the rom. Oden reports that the flash was successful but the phone wont reboot. I tried a couple of times - one with Re-Partion checked and the other unchecked but neither will reboot. What could be causing that? I somehow remember that my firmware was JPH but I could only get hold of JPK. Could that be the cause?
I seem to have solved all the issues at last. Thought it was going to be a bit over my head for a spell.
Once I discovered that the only way I was going to get into my phone was by flashing the rom the first problem I came across was I didn't know which firmware my phone was using previously, apart from the fact it was 2.2.1 and from Asia. I guessed wrongly and after "successfully" flashing the phone it wouldn't reboot. I then noticed that there were only three variations of the 2.2.1 firmware for my region. The second one I tried went a little further than the first but I got an error message about the SD card. The third one installed no problem.
So I instantly checked the wifi signal and the phone connected to the secured network. And stays connected - so far about an hour and a half.
It's amazing how the phone deteriorated the way it did. Hope it doesn't do it again.
Thanks for any help/suggestions
Since the update to 4.4.4 my phone sometimes refuses to connect to any networks.
Even my home network that normally works fine.
I notice that when the problem occurs, WiFi refuses to turn off.
When trying to manually connect to a stored network, it asks again for the password. But even if I enter the correct password, it still won't connect.
After rebooting the phone, everything is OK again for a couple of days, and then the problem starts again.
Does anyone experience the same problem, and does anyone have a fix?
Thanks
Marc

may b u need to repair your phone using PCC. or visit service center. but they will do the same.
also take backup of everything u need
You Can factory reset your phone or Reflash phone using flashtools or update service
For some strange reason, the problem does not occur as often anymore.
I'll leave it be for now...
Rebooting the phone every 2 weeks is not that big of a problem...
My phone hanged while I was watching youtube, it restarted, and when I tried to open my wifi, it does not work anymore, it can be turned on but it will not detect my wifi in the house. I can still use my bluetooth and data but I can't use my wifi function. Is there a solution via software, or is this an IC problem in my internals in the phone? I feel useless using this phone because I can't use my wifi, its hard using data everytime because it is costly. I already reformat my phone but still my wifi won't function. Hope someone can give me a solution to my problem. Thank you.
Did you charge your phone while watching yt? Charging cause heat and that was the problem for your motherboard. The wifi ic dead issue affect many Mi11's unfortunately.

I was not charging while watching youtube. i was on an aircon environment also. it just hanged and then restart, and I noticed that my wifi was off, so i turned it on, and that was the time that it did not detect my wifi anymore.

It's probably fried but we could check with a dumpstate board to be sure. If you want to get one:
You can get one from going in system info, all specifications and press a bunch of time on CPU, it will start a backup. Once the backup is done go into internal storage/MIUI/debug_log.
You will see a bug report zip, extract it then you will get another file called bugreport-venus..Inside you will find a dumpstate_board.txt...Copy it out and open it.
With a text editor search for the word VOLATILE, copy from platform init to chargelib
Do this.
Settings.
Connections and Sharing.
Under the heading Other
Tap Reset WiFi, Mobile Networks, and Bluetooth.
Tap Reset.
This will delete all network related setting, including access points, WiFi networks and Bluetooth pairing, clear the cache related to these settings and reboot your phone.
Try again to connect to the network.
If this doesn't work. Try a complete factory reset. If not, your motherboard is fried.
i hate to be the bearer of bad news but i've suffered from a similar issue a month or so ago and odds are ur motherboard is fried, its a common issue with Mi 11 unfortunately.
