Hi im new to these forums, and to smart phones. Ill try to give as much info as i can, My Altell 6700 i just got it off of ebay. It started having a problem with the wifi. Ill have the wifi up and running and it will be working fine, but then for no reason it will shut off (the wifi). So i went to the comm manger and tried to turn it back on, but when i click on the button, it loads for a sec, then it go right back to off. I didnt know if yall could help me with this. Also im running WM5 if that helps, ill give yall any more info if you need it.
Thanks,

there are two factors of why i think my wifi isnt working
number one)
i had put the wifi route program on my phone a few days ago
I happened to see a thread yesterday with someone saying they think that the program killed their wifi
and number 2
my girlfriend dropped the phone yesterday and im wondering if the physical wifi switch got messed up due to that..... the phone didnt even fall that hard
im wondering what could i possibly do to fix this problem
or what could be the cause of it
Wifirouter
I think it is most definitely wifirouter. I never heard of a physical drop causing wifi not to work. When you power wifi on do you get a tower on the status bar on top that is stale or is it constantly searching to no avail? Also are you running a stock rom/radio? If not what are you using?
I will say that the only true fix if it is wifirouter is revert back to stock rom. Then you can flash dcd's or nue room
Try looking for a program called "EffComm" it's a today screen plug in that toggles wifi, bluetooth and phone. Give that a shot if other conventional methods don't work for ya.
hi im new to android phones but i got 2 htc heroes, 1 for me and 1 for my gf, i rooted and installed fresh rom 1.0 on my phone no problems at all. my gf decided to keep hers stock.i had installed fresh rom and rooted my phone because i was having 100% awake problem, i tried everything i could read on the forums but nothing has helped. its not really that big of a deal considering im getting what i consider excellent battery life for my phone.
but my gf's phone has now started having a problem that i cannot fix, her vibrate on her phone just stopped working completely, i checked the settings and everything is enabled and everything looks good, so i did a hard reset which didnt fix the issue, then i restored it with a back up.
i figured at this time the best thing to do is go to sprint and swap them both out, im loving the phone, and the freedom to customize it, i just hate the 100% awake problem, and the no vibrate is a big deal as it vibrate with calls,texts, or keyboard feedback.
if you guys have any input on what it might be that would be great, but all these phones started having problems when they were stock and not rooted, with minimal apps downloaded.
Thanks in advance

When the phone is powered off and you very first power it on, it should vibrate right away. That is hard coded in to the phone. Does it do that?
If not then the vibe is defective.
no it didnt, i just went ahead and traded both my phones for new ones, both are working great, no more 100% awake for me and my gf has a phone that vibrates. Now its time to root and flash with Fresh 1.0 again.
TY for your response guess it was just a bad one
quick question, when you exchanged the phone, was it still rooted? im having the same problem with my phone and its a little annoying. ive been looking around to see if there is a way to unroot the phone, but it doesnt look like there is a way to do it.

yea it was rooted and still flashed with 1.0 they took it back no problems, since i was still under the 30days return policy.
vibration not working
i rooted my phone with just some rom i found and about an hour ago the vibration stopped working. this is bad for me, i need the virbation more than anything. my 30-day warranty is up but i do have the insurance on my phone, will they let me exchange it even though it is rooted?
Thanks
I was having a similar problem. I downloaded the volume control app and unclicked and reclicked the little vibrate icon above the actual volume level and it fixed it for me.
i want to get up and start using mobitv since i just got it..
i opened it the first time and it loaded good and asked me to update in order to continue so i did.
and now everytime i open it up i get a blank black screen, and sometimes a notification saying that i need a connection to get started. but i have my wifi and my data connections already connected so i dont see what the problem is.
anyone care to help? i tried searching but all it gave me was threads about asking where to download mobitv
reboot the phone.. or did you do it already?
yeah i already did countless times.. lol this is like the only app that isnt working for me for some reason.
umm.. i think you should take back to tmobile.. and tell them the application doesnt work, dont just stay quite talk to them they should solve the problem or they will give you a new one.
so i should take it back just cause mobitv isnt working? theres gotta be something else lol.
well i don't know about you..but ill want my hd2 without any problems i don't want to mess something up they'll do the job for me. but i don't know maybe somebody in here know what is going on with you hd2.

I had the same problem. Do a HARD reset, (see wiki). This should fix your problem.

Sorry, dual post.
I have never had this problem before or read about it. I keep wifi on at my house cause it's faster. Well tonight I went to plug my phone in and I took it off wifi but my 3G won't come up. I've tried everything. Pulled battery out, went to airplane mode and then back tried to update prl. I can't get my 3G to come back on. I have an app called quick settings that I've had for a long to turn off my 3G to save battery and it just says connecting.I've deleted the app and downloaded it back again and nothing. This has never happened to me before. How can I get. My Internet back? I am really lost on this one. It's like it's locked up and wont come back on. Thanks. By the way I have just about full reception.

You might have to do a factory reset. Before you do wait a bit and see if anyone has other ideas.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
That's what I was afraid of. I'm on 2.1 and rooted but nothing has changed on my phone for at least 2 wks. No new apps or anything. Will factory resetting break my root?
Wait a while. This has happened to me on occasion and it has nothing to do with anything I did.
Check with sprint to see if there's a data outage in your area. Or you can try traveling to a different location to see if you get 3g somewhere else and then update your profile/prl from there. I had the same experience with a similar app. Went to an area where I got 3g, called sprint, and they updated my profile. Try doing that to see what happens.
I let it try it all night last night and woke up and still no 3g at the top. i can turn wifi on and it works fine. it just wont bring up the 3g icon and when i look in the quick settings it is greyed and says connecting. ill wait til i leave the house today and try it later. i just dont think its gonna work it just seems like the 3g is locked since it wont even displays the icon but hopefully im wrong thanks for the help guys. i know what you mean b3nny but my phone wont even displays the 3g icon at the top. i would assume if there was an outage it would still display the icon at the top.m,y wife has a hero and her internet is fine so no outage. thanks for trying to help but i think a factory restore is my only option. im about ready to go get to sprint and get another epic.
if i go to sprint and show them my phone i have insurance but this should go thru the manufacturers warranty. would i get a new or refurb one? i know if you use the insurance you get a refurb but what about the warranty? its not only this reason but my phone freezes a lot and will back out of an application for no reason at all. im just done with this one. there has to be one that works better than this one.thanks
Is your 3G Data enabled in the settings?
Not completely sure if it applies to 2.1 as I am running 2.2, but try and go to: 'Menu->Settings->Wireless and Networks->Mobile networks' and see if the box is checked by '3G Data'. Again, I am running 2.2, so I dont know if it is exactly the same, but worth a check.
so i know theres problems with wifi sometimes but i cant get it working at all. ive rebooted 6 times and reflashed once. and still the slider for wifi wont move. ive asked elsewhere and noone knows what to do,
thanks for the help

I am also having the same problem. I first noticed it while I was on Atmosphere so I thought I might go ahead and load android to see if the problem followed me and it did. Im wondering if there is something wrong with the wireless chip or if there is even any way to communicate with it
