WiFi not working since day 1

Ever since I bought the phone the wifi has not worked. I have tried different ROMs to see if it would fix it but it just wont connect. I turnit on but it just turns back off. Ihave searched everywhere and cant find anything on this issue.
Does anyone have a clue?

Are you rooted or HTC unlocked??? When u bought the phone was it stock non rooted and it never worked?

Yes I am rooted... it was stock when I bought it and did not work then either.

Then its hardware related if when you slide the on position it reverts back to off... that usually happens on a rom when u have an incomplete kernel without the correct modules but since this happened while you where UN rooted then its hardware...
The only thing I can think off to be sure is using a PD file and going back to stock if you have the same problem then its your phone.

My WiFi recently stopped working I've tried pd15img.zip, rooted stock zip, basically everything i can think of but WiFi doesn't work just errors out on me.

[Q] nexus 7 keeps restarting after 4.3 update

this is my first time making an account/posting on xda after being a long time reader and user. just need some help with my nexus 7 32gb WiFi (Australian model) i have loved this tablet and I have never had a problem with it, its unrooted and has never been dropped or anything like that, i updated it to 4.3 ota last night and almost instantly after that I have noticed it keeps rebooting itself like so many other people have problems with on earlyr versions like 4.2, please tell me what I can do to fix this, I can't find any straight help, my location is off and always has been, but I have noticed every now and again I would notice (on earlyr version) fused location would always stop working and ask me to force close randomly, that now doesn't happen but instead it retstarts, so do u think this could be the problem? any help would be awesome, thanks.

If you're having a problem with 4.3 you can try two things.
1. Revert back to 4.2.2
2. Try a rooted official stock ROM.

I fixed the proble,m, I found a site that finally gave me a good option to try besides rooting as I don't want to root my nexus 7, turns out HD widgets was cashing the issue, but the issue only showed up after this update, thanks for ur help though.

I've had random reboots on 4.2.2 and one since updating to 4.3. Usually happens when I am mounting or unmounting a USB drive, but sometimes it's for no apparent reason.

Thanks to all the posters, but I need help..

First of all, thanks to all the guys who post on here and develop some of these great ROMs. I bought a Note 3 online that had a custom rom installed and no backup. The phone turned on and off and didn't work properly. Just reading these forums helped somebody who knew nothing about this stuff to somebody who was able to install the verizon stock back onto the phone, then root it, install safestrap and install two custom roms (jelly beans and lite). The phone works great with the exception of the following: when using the camera lines appear on the screen and show up sometimes on the pictures, secondly my gps is a little off and doesn't see exactly where I'm at and doesn't work properly. This is the same on both roms I boot from. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

Go back to stock and see if the problems persist. If so then it's the phone and not the rom.

The problem persists. I actually, read about disabling wifi and image stabilization and that's pretty much eliminated the lines when using the camera, but I can't figure out the issue with gps.

Download an app like gas status and see if that helps. Besides that just might be a defect.

Samsung keyboard on stock kitkat not working?

If I flash stock kitkat my Samsung keyboard won't work (force closes over and over).. I've no problems with any custom roms, on sweetrom now with no problem.. It's not a massive issue but it's annoying me! Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix it?
P. S- installing SwiftKey etc isn't fixing it..

You may need to do a full wipe when you flash stock, it's possible something has corrupted somewhere along the line.

Yeah I've tried all the usual tricks, re - downloaded stock from several places with no luck.. It's baffling me..

Format all your data in system via CWM - then reinstall your ROM from scratch, it'll fix any coruption issues. ->>> Important >>> Make sure you make/get a PIT file for your device before you change anything in case you need to sort your partitions out for a reflash

I'll give it a try thank_you...

Nope still got the same problem.. Must be some weird conflict with my phone that I can't pin down.. Like I say I'm on a custom rom anyway but it irritates me because I know it's still there...

How bizarre , I'd stick with the custom ROM for now just in case something else gets crazy corrupted - This Kitkat stuff atm is causing havoc all around.

Yeah I think you're right, maybe different batches of phones and buggy kitkat are causing problems for a few of us? It'll all get ironed out in the end hopefully..

I got the same problem. KitKat update failed in the end and had to CF_Root in order to boot up.
Action Memo (with pen) are not working for me as well. It is all linked with Handwiting somehow.
Is your Action Memo broken also ?
The only thing that I didn't do is Wipe Data/Factory Reset in Recovery mode.
Did you try that ?

got the same problem as yours, no idea why though, after the update samsung keyboard and action memo stopped working.
I think I will wipe it tomorrow but it seems it's not working either

I'm checking around and they say that problem probably lies in the application S Pen Keep, there is no data on this one ... I guess as you said it's linked to the handwriting recognition. tried to do that using Snote transform into text as well and it immediately stopped working as well..

For time being I'm using different keyboard and I like it better than stock one. I really don't want to wipe a phone. Takes so much time to install everything back.

Did u guys intentionally or unintentionally uninstalled Samsung apps? From what I've understand, certain Samsung apps needs to be either freeze thru TB or disable it...

Haven't touched it. I've upgraded to KitKat without updating a bootloader and it happened.

same here, got the OTA update, after that it simply stopped working.. I don't need the keyboard .. I need the action memo more

Mine still isn't working, I'm on omega rom now so it doesn't affect me, but it still does it if I flash stock... Strange..

try to download another stock rom? maybe that will fix it.. if it did .. let us know... try to download the newest one that came up in Poland..

mine got fixed by formatting and wiping, re-download another stock rom I guess yours has some form of data missing ..
@Colide , just go back to factory settings , will resolve the issue, do it from the recovery of course.

I kinda hate it to wipe data. Lot of apps to reinstall. Thanks for a tip. ?

Missing 'fingerprint' service

Hi, I got a problem with fingerprint sensor since buying my phone (it was bought as used). Seller did a hard reset before selling phone claiming that fingerprint sensor was fully working. I was trying to add my fingerprint. Sometimes it worked, sometimes I saw error saying that my fingerprint sensor is not working and I should reboot my phone to fix that - of course it didn't help. Hardware test (*#06*#) sometimes showed proper version of the sensor, sometimes 0.0.0.0.
So I tested few custom roms, but it didn't fixed my problem. It actually made it worse. Before testing custom roms I was able to find 'fingerprint' app/service in all apps. I couldn't find it on custom roms so I came back to newest stock, installed all updates and updated all apps and still I can't find this app/service/whatever it is.
Is there any way to get this back or something?

If you used aosp based custom roms then they wouldn't have had the fingerprint service.

What rom should I get to make this work?

Is 5.0 G900FXXU1BOE5 stock? I got this one currently but I still can't find 'fingerprint' in all apps.

Sounds like it, try doing a full reflash.
Sent from my Tw5ted SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Full reflash is wiping data in recovery then flashing ROM with odin? I did it and still nothing.
EDIT: Ok I got it now in all apps. However hwtest says fingerprint's version is 0.0.0.0 and I can't add my fingerprint in settings. Any advice?
