Cannot enable wifi on droid incredible

i just got my droid incredible today.
i have not been able to get my Wifi enabled. I go to Wi-Fi settings then click on Wi-Fi to turn it on and then it just says "error" after about 5 seconds. There are about 10 Wifi networks within range of me so I know thats not the problem.
any suggestions?

Once you turn it on you need to click on the option below, WiFi settings and choose an open network. If they are secured, you will need to enter the security key to log in.

Cannot enable wifi

iphone 4s with ios6 cannot enable slider to turn wireless on/
already reset network settings, turned of/on airplane settings and resarted phone.

It may not enable. The only sure soltion is that Apple fixes its corrupt software. Apple however deny that this proble exists, so they may never fix it.
I have the same problem.

HT4623 Cannot enable wifi or Bluetooth on an iPhone 5

I have a iPhone 5c and both the wifi and Bluetooth will not enable. The slider buttons stay grey in the off position. The phone was issued to me with OS 7.0.1. It was recommended that I upgrade the software to 7.0.3. Unfortunately without wifi that is not possible . I tried installing via iTunes but the install crashes.

Hi Roadrunner558,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has steps to try if Wi-Fi is grayed out and unable to be turned on:
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim

With regards to the issues updating via iTunes and if the above does not work, I would recommend following this article to get the iPhone restored and updated:

TS1398 cannot enable wifi on my itouch

the last time i updated the software on both of my Itouchs, the wifi function stopped working. i have tried everything i can to get it to work. have others experienced this?

Ok, after I did 'Reset all network settings' and then rejoined my home network, that fixed the problem.
Illaass, my issue didn't have any settings grayed out. Everything 'seemed' to be connected, I even had the wifi logo in the status bar and the network settings, as well as my router, indicated I had an IP address. It just wouldn't connect.
I'm fine now so I would suggest to kajunklr to do the 'reset all network' settings path.

Satellite C55-A-199 with Win 7 64bit - cannot enable WiFi

Hi,
I have some problem with the wifi in my Toshiba Satellite C55-A-199.
I have downloaded and installed every drivers that I could find on the [website|http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp] but I am still not able to turn off the wifi by pressing fn+f12.
When I press fn+f12 the bluetooth can be switch on/off but the wifi symbol doesn't appear on the screen, and the red led at the front keeps lighting.
I don't know what could be the problem, but I hope I'll get some help here.
Thanks,
Piri
(I use win7x64)

Hi everybody,
_Thanks a lot Randy, doing what you said helped me solved the issue_ with my newly Satellite C55-A-1P2, but unfortunately I have discovered an even bigger issue.
I think this thread is probably not the right place to say my problem but I haven't found to much info regarding the issue. :(
If I'm allowed here this is what I'm encountering with the Wi-Fi adapter:
My Wi-Fi adapter (Qualcomm Atheros AR956x I think this is the one) is frequently disconnecting, stays disconnected for a minute or so and after that is reconnecting. For me that is a very big issue as I'm a heavily Wi-Fi user. I do have the latest driver installed from Toshiba site and using windows 7 ultimate 64-bit.
If anybody has any idea on how to solve this issue or if it's even solvable(if this is the case I need to return the laptop) or redirect me to another post related to Wi-Fi disconnections I will be forever grateful.
Thanks in advance.

Droid Incredible 2 Echo while talking on the phone

Anyone else have this issue?
When using my wife's Droid Incredible 2, you can hear your voice over the person on the phone while you talk. It is almost like the phone microphone is too sensitive. I have tried adjusting the call volumes, I turned off all the headset mic amp and voice amps as suggested on the support forums, and I even tried changing the phone configuration by setting all the hardware to communicate only via CDMA and still no dice.
I did some googling on this and it seems this is a problem with the Incredible 2's in general, but google/htc/verizon will not comment on this or provide an update. We are on our third Incredible 2 in the past month, and each one has had this issue. The Verizon store keeps giving us the ** run around of, "your past 15 days to exchange it, even though the phone echo is so bad you cannot talk on it for more than ten seconds."
I just wish we could exchange the phone instead of dealing with this garbage run around customer service. The phone is great other than you cannot really talk on it....
Here is the link I found on the issue by courtesy of the HTC forums:
http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/124/p/11431/49895.aspx#49895

Every Verizon phone I've ever owned has had this problem. I believe it's the way Verizon over compresses the cells in order to get by with fewer problems that causes the problem. I was with a GSM provider for six years and when the company I worked for entered into an agreement with VZ that made me switch carriers the difference in sound quality was like night and day. The GSM carrier was like listening to music in stereo while Verizon's sound was like mono - tinny with no depth of quality or richness. I notice the sound is louder on Verizon phones, no doubt an attempt to mask the poor sound quality.

Airport Extreme- PC users cannot connect to security enabled Wifi

I have an Airport Express and have setup a security enabled Wifi network. It works perfectly for me, but my PC user roomates cannot access it. I don't know much about the difference between WPA and other settings, so maybe I need to change the security. Please help. Thanks!

DrVenture:
Thank you. Yes, this did indeed work. The MacBook now connects just fine. I had one moment of panic when the Vista laptop referred to it as a "security key" rather than a passphrase / password, but I tried it anyway and that worked just fine too. So I'm happy again.
Any idea why WEP doesn't work this time?
Thank you for your help.

Hi samer almasri,
If you are having issues with enabling Wifi on your iPhone you may want to try a couple of things to troubleshoot. First of all I would quit all open applications on the phone and try again. See this previous thread for how -

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5581063
Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -

Using Droid Incredible internationally

I know there are a lot of different posts regarding using the HTC Droid Incredible in international CDMA locations. I am travelling to Israel which is a CDMA country. I plan on using my phone for wifi and GPS only (i have cached google maps around the area that I will be staying). I do NOT plan on making any phone calls whatsoever. I have been told to put the phone in airplane mode and then enable wifi. But I have also seen on this board people who have said that even in airplane mode, some apps (news, weather, etc.) will sneak data via autosync updatingand you will be charged the roaming data rate. Again, this is even when the phone is in airplane mode.
I have seen posts where it says for added protection you should go to settings ---> accounts & sync; and then disable "background data" to prevent this. But someone said they were told that android based phones just ignore this setting and still sync data even when the box is unchecked and in airplane mode (???). And also someone posted that even if you select "Deny data roaming access" that it still ignores this selection and does data roaming anyways.
Is there any surefire way to make sure that data is sent and received ONLY when connected to wifi and at no other time??

Hello ucsdjosh!
Israel sounds like a great place to visit! I would like to assist you with options for restricting network data while traveling abroad.
There are a few settings you can change to avoid data roaming charges while in Israel. First, I would disable Data and Data Roaming in the Settings menu. You can also enable Airplane Mode in order to turn off any network voice and data connections, while still having access to connect via Wi-Fi. This will ensure you do not incur any voice or data roaming charges while traveling abroad.
I trust I have answered your questions, and have addressed your concerns. I hope you enjoy your trip to Israel as well.

Droid Incredible 4g lte global services not working in UK

Purchased global plan for travel in UK, got here, no service. I contacted support and after nearly an hour with two different people, they've started a problem ticket. I can get a list of network operators on GSM/ dual, but cannot connect. I have tried GSM only as well. It does not seem that I have the very latest software update, but when I check via WiFi for new updates, there aren't any. Does anyone have any clues about how to get this thing to work?

The DROID Incredible 4G LTE should already be running either Android 4.0+ for its operations system. Which means you can disable many of the pre-installed applications. Go to settings > Apps > slide to the All view. Disable each application individually. You might have to uninstall any updates before the disable button is available.
The DROID Eris is only three years old. It was released in November 2009. 12 minus 9 equals 3.
Also you should be aware, you posted your message on the Verizon Wireless Community. This is a peer to peer forum where customers can give suggestions and advice to other customers with their questions and issues.
If you need immediate assistance call customer service at *611 from your phone or 1-800-922-0204 from another phone. You can also use the "Contact Us" link at the top of the website. However the response from that avenue might also be delayed due to the holidays.

How to create unique notification sounds for email on Droid Incredible 4G LTE

I have three separate email accounts pushed to my Droid Incredible 4G LTE. I can't for the life of me figure out how to set up unique notification sounds for each email account. It was a snap to do on my old Blackberry.
Same question for flagging individuals within my contact list. (E.g., if my wife calls it makes one sound, if a client calls it makes a different sound.)
Does anyone know how to do this, or, as they say, is there an app for that???
Thanks in advance!

I don't think you can on the email but got to each contact and edit them for different sounds, I'm not sure if it works on that new phone that way but as they don't have a dedicated room yet for it you had nowhere else to ask htc has good forums also

How can I get music I purchased though Amazon on my Android device(droid incredible) to my IPad 2 without using a computer?

I just got an iPad 2 a couple months ago, and I'm very eager to get my music collection purchased from Amazon to my device. I have had to get a replacement droid incredible and lost my login information for both my email and my amazon account. I have the music files stored on the SD card on my phone. I have the basic iPad 2, 16 GB, wifi, no 3G. I got an iPad to essentially replace my computer since it can't hold a charge anymore. I am almost due for an update with Verizon, so I would like to get an IPhone. However if I can't transfer my 100s of dollars worth of music, I'll have to suck it up and stick with android and be unable to have more than the 3 songs I have on my iPad.
If any one can help It would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds as if you have a computer but it won't hold a charge. Does it not work if it's plugged in at home? If so, you can simply transfer the music to your computer at home. You can either do this by connecting your Incredible to the computer and dragging the music from the SD card to iTunes or, you can contact Amazon and get your password reset and just download the music.

Portege Z930: Loss of Fn keys after Win 8 upgrade - cannot turn WiFi on/off

After many months biding my time I have just embarked upon upgrading my Portege Z930-11G to Windows 8 Pro.
Largely this has gone to plan with the exception that after running the Toshiba Upgrade Assistant I've lost the Fn key display and about half the keys no longer seem to function at all.
The only key I ever used routinely is the Fn+F8 option to turn WiFi on/off.
So now I cannot enable the WiFi on the machine.
There must, surely, be a mean to do this but I can't find it. Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm OK for now as I have a wired LAN in the house but once I get out on the road I'm going to struggle without WiFi.
Before running the upgrade assistant the Fn key brought the key display up across the top of the screen and I surely wish I'd turned WiFi on at that point.
The Fn key utility offers very little control of the Fn keys. It does not offer the ability to do anything other than disable five on screen notifications for keyboard backlight, power plan, touch pad, cursor overlay and numeric overlay.
All help gratefully received.
Andrew

> So now I cannot enable the WiFi on the machine.
First of all you can enable and disable the WiFi using function key but you can also enable the WLan in Windows 8 settings
Win key + C -> Settings -> Change PC settings -> Wireless
Now you can use the wireless devices slider to enable or disable the WLan.
But to get the FN key working you have to install the +Toshiba Function Key Utility+ for Win 8 and +Toshiba System Driver+ for Win 8
