SOLVED: Wifi won't turn on/connect - Wifi : Error (Stock rom)

[Sebastian768]

I have been Googling like crazy and I've found several posts on various different boards. There's really no reason to link any of them, most are regarding older HTC phones.

What I've managed to find out, is that on some HTC phones that get this problem (if it's not custom rom or an upgrade issue) the WIFI antenna is loose. It just needs to be opened and re-connected.

ORG POST BELOW:

So, went to bed....turned wifi off because I was low on battery. Woke up, charged the phone. Tried turning on wifi, but all I get is "Error" after a couple of seconds. No wifi icon or anything else in the notifications bar. 3G work fine, can turn this on and off.

What's up doc?

Oh, I have stock rom and havent changed any setting, updated anything or done anything to my phone at all since yesterday.

Bluetooth won't turn on either!

Broken antenna in the case? Bad connector pins?

 

[Sebastian768]

Anybody?

Did a factory reset, changed SD card, wiped that, did a factory reset. Wifi still won't turn on, no icon in notification bar, get "error" in the "Wireless & networks" menu.

Removed back cover, cleaned contacts, checked for cracks in the cover. Nothing.

The phone is 35 days old.....this is a new record for bricked phone for me.

How did you fix it? I'm haveing the same problem

The store/repair center has, according to the manifest I got, done the following:

- Conductive Fabric.Flash to Chassis.PYD
- Rigid-Flex Board ASSY.Upper board.w/oGPS diversity
antenna.w/o_Regional_ID. PYD
- Adhesive-Double Tape.power-keyFPC.CN-4490.PYD
- Conductive Fabric.Flash to chassis.PYD

Apparently, they changed the whole board. It also appears as the camera is new, because there was a small scratch on the metal casing and that's now gone.

No, they just changed your Main Flex Ribbon Cable, as I just finished repairing mine myself from water damage (power button wasn't working at all and it would randomly turn off either mid call or receiving a call 8/10 times). When I was quoted £110 to fix it at the shop I was like screw this, went on to buy the Main Flex Ribbon Cable (which is essentially the whole upper board of the phone) for £44 off ebay and changed it over myself. This part comes with the camera case which you mention you had a scratch on. When you change the boards over you actually have to unplug the cameras from the old one and plug em into the new one. Everything works fine now except for the wireless, which when I try to turn on, it comes up with error now. I'm just happy that I can use my phone without worrying about missing calls or not being able to turn it on without adb commands while I am out, leaving me essentially stranded....

If you're rooted, boot into recovery, wipe dalvik cache and cache then reboot. This worked for me.

I'm having the same problem on my HTC One S - When you press the wifi button to connect it instantly turns itself off and reads "Error". Does anyone have a clue why it's doing this??
