my phone will not activate the wifi setting at all after installing icarus. upon first boot, i had to rely on wifi to set up my google account info. but since then when i try to turn on wifi, it simply won't activate. it doesn't give me anything in errors that are meaningful. wifi just won't turn on successfully. can anyone help?
 
Your rom is tweaking. Same happened to me yesterday. I just turned off phone and pulled battery for ten seconds before booting again.

You may have to reflash though.
 
I am having this same problem right now, were you able to resolve it? I really don't feel like re-flashing, but I guess I will :(
 
the only occurances of wifi crapping out that i have seen so far have been caused by barnacle and other teathering apps. they lock your wifi up.

you can only have one or the other, teather or wifi, not both.

freezing may not change the changes that your teathering app made to the system. maybe an uninstall will though.

i never had this problem because i only used teathering once. i'm on metro and it just wasnt worth it.

i uninstalled barnacle before i had any problems.
 
I uninstalled Barnacle and another app called Wireless Tether and my wifi turned on immediately. Freezing didnt work. Have to totally uninstall apparently.
 
unless you have a true 3G signal, which I'm not even sure the Ascend can use, its not worth it, its about as slows as dailup or worse!! ;)
