Q: What can I try to solve my problem.
Problem: Wifi and Bluetooth stop working. Wifi is hang out after switching on and back to off state, Bluetooth can be turned on, but I can't send any files to other devices (tried windows phone and another android 4.0.4 samsung galaxy s2 stock rom).
I've already tried:
1. ROMs 4.0.4 (blackout), 4.1.x codefireX and jelly time - in all of them the problems where pretty similar.
2. During installing new rom, in clockwork i've wiped out user data/make factory reset/wipe cache/wipe cache for virtual partition as well.
3. Try to use WiFix Manager, applying a fix with no success.
4. Try another SD card to be sure about the old data wiped out.

If someone have any suggestions I will be greatful for any tips. I've used custom roms for 2 years, with no problems, just follow the instructions here on forum, but now I'm stuck. Thanks in advance for any help and finally - thanks for all devs for their very good work :D

Try CyanogenMod 7. If not then run an RUU to return to fully stock. If that doesn't work then its a hardware problem and needs to be repaired

Success is sweet but revenge is so delicious

No not the same person :) very weird. Although my bluetooth doesnt turn on either I also noticed yesterday my Volume buttons have stopped working completly. My DHD is out of warrenty so I have ordered a new mainboard Flex cable also hoping it may fix the WIFI as the connectors for the battery cover are on this (http://www.tmart.com/LCD-Flex-Cable...C-Desire-HD-Inspire-4G-G10-A9191_p161463.html) if it works I will let you know.
Did yours just pack up or was it after a flash or something, Have you tried going back to a previous restore?

Unless you are the same fella, the two of you can try and find any common variables. Quite odd that both of you have the same issue around the same time.
Thanks for all the tips. I'm not the guy from the mentioned thread. It's true that my volume buttons also stop working. It happens just one day, when I didn't do anything to my DHD, I don't even install any kind of updates at that time. I've using 4.0.4 blackout for about 6 months, with no problems, everything was working. Then, suddenly wifi stop working, bluetooth also, volume buttons too. Looks as hardware problem to mee but I want to be sure, before spending money to repair it.

I'll keep fingers crossed and hope that flex replacement do the job. Can't wait for the good news.

The main board flex cable did it, wifi has never worked so well, volume buttons too and bluetooth. Very fiddly to install and i will say there is no guarentee it will fix your problem.
I ended up ordering from ebay as tmart took my money then said they had no stock. £28 in the end and dont forget the tools, getting the flash cover off is painful without the correct tool. There is a you tube video on dismantling the phone, good luck.
