[Will1524]

Hey guys for some reason the other night when my phone turned on the wifi toggle was stuck. I can no longer recieve a wifi connection and am forced to use lte. I've tried rebooting and all that jazz. Any ideas?

Sorry to say this dude, but I don't think there's any solutions to this. This happened to my phone too, except it looks like you're still on gingerbread. My problem only started happening once i updated to ics. I've been searching every single forum for a solution to this and I haven't found one so I just gave up and accepted the fact that my wifi was broken haha!
But if you do find a solution PLEASE let me know because I would be very very glad to hear one

ok so right after I answered this post it gave me a bit of inspiration to do a little more research on this topic that has been bothering me for about 6 months now.
ANYWAYS
I found some stuff saying that it could be a sim card problems so I just pulled out my battery and pulled out my sim card. Then I turned on my phone (without my sim card in it) to see if my wifi would work, and it did! So I put my sim card back in, reboot my phone, and now my wifi works again!

This COULD be just a fluke because sometimes my wifi randomly works and then about 20 minutes later it'll conk out again and never turn back on again, but I just thought I'd let you know try it out for yourself

For anybody reading my above post, this method DOES WORK. It's been 2 days and my wifi has been working perfectly throughout the 2 days!
