i cant get wifi to turn on. AT ALL :(
 
greetings. I was hoping somebody could help me. my wifi does not turn on anymore (post 3.35 rom update). the toggle switch doesnt do a thing, and i dont even have a wifi icon in connection settings. well, sometimes its there, but mostly its a network cards icon. Im guessing i did something wrong, but for the life of me, i dont know what i did, or what happened. any suggestions? i miss wifi, so if anyone could please help, id really appreciate it. thx guys. a search gave me no results :( dschoenike

Are you using WMWiFiRouter? Sometimes this happens to me when the program exits and turns off WiFi. Running the program again, or just running the crash cleanup, fixes the problem.

If you're not running WMWiFiRouter, you could try using a different Comm Manager that has WiFi control in it. Let me see if I can dig up the 10 button one I usually use.

Try this one. Just make sure you don't have your current Comm Manager running or it won't be able to install.

That Comm Manager might not work. I just tried it on my phone and the WiFi button doesn't appear to be mapped correctly for the Titan (go figure since apparently it came from a Kaiser...). I'll look around and see if I can find one that has been edited for the Titan.

Edit: Maybe give this one a shot too...

well i got installed. Here's the new weird thing. (oh yeah, i have a wifi icon again) when i click on the wifi connect button, the little wifi symbol on the top right part of the screen appears for exactly 3 seconds, then disappears again. it wont stay on. :( grrrrr. almost seems like a hardware issue. maybe?

The button on screen won't be able to turn on your wifi if the wifi hard switch is off.

If the switch is on, then the soft button can turn it off (and back on)

Maybe you have a bad switch?

its gotta be a bad switch. i just noticed that wifi was on, and connected to my home router. as fast as it came on, it disappeared. :( anybody here thats smarter than me, know of any programs that would interfere with the wifi? it was working before the rom update, and i havent installed anything different from the previous rom. maybe i should just be happy with rev a. ;) 1200 down and 515 up. thanks guys for trying to help. much appreciated.

my hard button stopped working about 2 months ago. no soft button will fix it, i think its a hardware issue, but at the same time, i notice batt. drain with it on. Just no signal, and it also doesnt show up where it replaces the EV icon....id say hardware

Try to pop out the MicroSD card and switch WIFI on. I had the same issue and that enabled it.
