ok, so i did the 3g boost thing, just to try it out...and well..when i did that then my wifi would switch off immediately after turning on...unless i rebooted the phone with the wifi turned on (assuming by click count) and in that situation the phone would boot up with wifi on, when i switched it off then 3g would pop up but wouldn't work at all...now, i don't have shit...no 3g icon..no wifi workin...nothing whatsoever....i reversed the process for the 3g boost...i restarted and cleared dalvik..i do not know what else to do...

please help me out here, and i would prefer smart answers...not people who think they are being helpful..i've messed around with plenty of android phones so i know what to do before asking for help...please don't be an idiot

Firstly try Settings>Wireless/networks>Wi-Fi settings>Advanced Options (press option key)>Wi-Fi Sleep Policy. Switch it off.

Secondly, you may possibly need to restore your APN files if your 3G has completely stopped.
