Help, I had a Tmobile MAD Vario and I was playing around with it, I think all I did was press the wifi option to switch it on, and it was taking longer than normal, so I just pressed the red key to exit out of the screen.
Now, whenever I want to turn the wifi on, I click on the wifi option but nothing happens, even no 'egg timer' - the whole thing just hangs and I have to remove the battery to reboot it!
Any suggestions would be gratefully recieved,
Thanks

When you turn on the switch, does the top-left LED blink green?
Also, what happens in the Comm Manager when you turn on the Wi Fi switch?

What do you mean? which switch, the wifi switch? no lights come on when I switch on Wifi...
When I turn Wifi on and off, The Comm Managers "Flight Mode" Button Turns on And Off... But thats when PHONE is also off... If phone is on, and I switch Wifi on/off, nothing happens
Sounds like you might have a broken switch or a bad wifi chip.
No....
I'm pretty sure the switch is fine.... even if the switch was broken, I could turn wifi on and off manually...
I'm not exactly sure why the wifi chip would be bad... The phone is almost new....
I'm asking for any fixes or any programs for my pocket pc that might fix this? I really don't want to mess with the hardware...
I'm pretty sure its the software anyway...

I think Drewcam may be right. If your switch (and there is only one switch on our phones - the WiFi switch) does not cause the top-left LED to blink green, and activating WiFi in the Comm Manager doesn't do it either, there is something really wrong. You may want to try flashing back to stock. And if that doesn't work, bring it to your carrier's store because you have a broken part of the phone.
I have the exact same problem and the exact same result with the "fix"....
Um....
Well, there is a green LED that flashes every few seconds, but it flashes even when Wifi is OFF...
I'm going to try to reflash to stock rom, anyone have a link to it?
I have semi-good news!
I reflashed to verizons stock rom, and after a hour or two, I checked my phone, and It had found my router (and two green LEDs were flashing) ... I could not connect because the security key was wrong, and soon after, I lost the connection...
A few minutes after that, it detected my router again... and lost it again....
Is this a good sign? The wifi started working randomly, and it stopped working randomly, I'm beginning to think there may be a loose connection...

It sounds as if you have a broken WiFi switch, but I'm glad you had it working temporarily. If you can get it to stay in the "on" position, then you can use the software to turn it on/off. Unfortunately, it doesn't work if the switch is stuck on "off".
Hi.
Now, this is not happening all the time... only if the kindle is not used for awhile.
wifi is turned on and i'm having some fun... i put it away for 1hr, when i come back the wifi can't turn on, i swipe the button to ON and it just sits there the wifi does not see any routers. I do a restart and the wifi turns on and connects in a giffie.
i thought for sure it was the kindle fire Stock software failing, but after flashing CM7, it still does this, only at least 1hr after screen shuts down. any ideas? anyone having the same problem?
could this be a hardware problem?
Thanks!
maybe this is helpful:

Yeah I tried that didn't work, but my friend just phoned me saying it's working now after a fully charged battery, I thought it was very strange it had about 60% on it
Try to remove the batterij for like 2 min. and put it back in. Start the phone, hopefully it works again. However this is the second time I got this problem (with the stock rom). I kinda hate Samsung right now.
Whats going on...
Quick question. Unsure if anyone else has experience their Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 3 locking and unlocking itself. For me, it literally just started a couple of days ago and i've notice that my phone will lock itself up when its changing between WiFi, 4G or 3G. Even when dropping the wifi connection, it'll lock itself up. Even more annoying is when you go in to input the password, the screen will turn on when the home or standby button is pushed, flash and turn back off.
I haven't found any solutions on the web. Need help please!
Thanks yall
