Solution to i-mate 1.40 GPRS Disconnect

I was getting frustrated with the problems I was facing with GPRS in i-mate's new rom. Some people couldn't connect and disconnect properly, I personally was suffering from having my Red Phone button disconnect GPRS when I merely pressed it, not held it, every time.
I got pissed off with it last night, and decided to find the problem once and for all.
First, I cleared my extended rom, and did a hard-reset. I then noted that the red phone button sound reverted to normal, and that the GPRS didn't disconnect unless I held the red phone button. In other words, I discovered my problem lied within the extended rom.
So, then I went through cab by cab and tried to find out exactly which one caused the problem. All the obvious choices did not. I then stumbled upon the problem cab; the I-Mate customization cab (Default_ImateV112.002.cab). This little 74kb cab was causing my GPRS to disconnect whenever I pressed the Red Phone button. So, I recooked my extended rom without that cab, then hard reset. Voila, GPRS was working properly.
My comparison of the new I-mate customization cab with the older one, brought up one small difference in CM_Entries.xml, and it was exactly this small change that resulting in GPRS disconnecting when the Red phone button is pressed instead of held.
The lines that cause the problem are:
<characteristic type="Registry">
<characteristic type="HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone">
<parm name="Flags2" value="8" datatype="integer" />
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
The section of code that I identified to be causing the problem creates a key named "Flag2" within HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone. What this does is actually creates the Disconnect button we now see in the Connectivity bubble. It seems that enabling this button is the root of my (and perhaps other people's) GPRS problems.
Here is the information on this code:
To get just the disconnect/time online in your bubble, Tweak the following key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Phone]
"Flags2"=dword:00000000 = no button disconect in buble con.
"Flags2"=dword:00000008 = button disconect on buble con.
"Flags2"=dword:00000010 = button disconect and time con. on buble conection (hex)
Removing the key "Flags2" solves the problem, but removes the disconnect button (I assume this is the same as setting it to 0). The new default 8 setting is the problem. Setting it to 16, which adds the button and a connection length timer seems to be problem free from my testing, so if you like the disconnect button, I recommend setting it the key to 16 (DECIMAL, 00000010 HEX) and giving that a try, and if you aren't satisfied then remove the key altogether. Reset after any changes to the registry to see the results.
THE CABS BELOW ARE NOT PATCHES. THE SHORT TERM SOLUTION IS TO CHANGE THE REGISTRY KEY. THESE CABS ARE MEANT TO BE REPLACEMENTS FOR THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM CAB IN YOUR EXTENDED ROM, NOT TO BE RUN SEPERATELY
I have also made 2 cabs meant to replace the old Default_ImateV112.002.cab within your extended rom for a more perminent solution.
http://qlink.queensu.ca/~3bsg/16Flags2/Default_ImateV112.002.cab : Sets the key Flags2 to 16, keeping the disconnect button and adding a timer
http://qlink.queensu.ca/~3bsg/RemovedFlags2/Default_ImateV112.002.cab : Stops the key Flags2 from ever being created, removed the disconnect button[/b]

Sweet, (still looking for the coffee hack), thanks

Maybe imate fixed this already???
I did fresh install from imate website and after reading your post, I checked my Registry and it is already "16"

Let me verify this.
Edit:
I went through a lot of trouble to disprove this.
I just went to clubimate.com, downloaded a fresh rom, reinstalled the extended rom, and can disprove this. Nothing has changes. Flags2 is still set to 8 by default. Problems still occur with GPRS.

Great solution! Applied this to my pda2k and JAM and could not be happier. Make sure you upload it to the FTP.

Better why not use Phone Alarm 1.13.2 latest version.It does the same as explained and I am using it.....

Re: Solution to i-mate 1.40 GPRS woes
Your registry hack works very nicely...thanks.

My problem is more than not after a phone call the GPRS will not connect again until I either do a reset of the ppc or go into flight mode and come back out.
Any ideas on a fix for that?

tekhound, you have changed your registry and then reset your device to apply the changes? Go into your registry and change the Flags2 key in question to 16, then reset your device (or run the Flags2 = 16 cab I included in the first post). If that doesn't fix your problem, then your problem is different than those faced by others.

TLO...
I actually had your cab file already installed. I went ahead and deleted the reg key all together. Hopefully that will work, since I use the GPRS for my push email more than I use the phone.
Thanks for all of your hard work. I find it amazing that groups like this and people like you seem to know more about this stuff than the people who make or support them.

Update....
I was still having problems even after i made the changes and uploaded the cab TLO made. No luck on keeping the the GPRS not only connected, but be able to connect it again with out having to reset.
I decided to copy all of the extended rom files out completey and do a hard reset. Everything has been working fine so far without any disconnect or reconnect problems I experienced before. I have since gone back in and added the battery patch and a few other files I wanted.
I will add a cab at a time and hopefully see when the cab causing the problem is installed.
I have a sneaky feeling that one of those cabs does something that makes the BA not talk to the US T-Mobile network correctly. I have seen a few post on different boards from people that use the US T-Mobile network have similar problems when they updated their imate PDA2K device to the new version.
I will post with any updates.
Thanks again for everyones support!

i would like to know what you find, i had a similar problem before the Imate rom was released; gprs would not reconnect after the first connection without a soft reset. What worked for me was not installing the AKU26_RC20 Caller id cab. I was already using GBSOFT Tweak to enable the disconnect and time display in the gprs bubble. But other people reported no problem using that cab so may just be coincedence.

My experience is (unfortunately) consistent with tekhound's, even after installing the TLO's cab. Although TLO's cab is still an improvement with the Disconnect button and counter. I am also with T-Mobile in the US.

Odd. Then perhaps the different GPRS problems to not share the same cause.
I must say, I am not facing the same problem as you guys are. After changing the key to 16 and reset, GPRS has worked flawlessly.
However, I think it is important to note that everyone who is still facing GPRS problems is in the United States (I would assume using T-Mobile). Are all your devices SX66's as well?

I'm having problem using my i-mate JAM.
i-mate's forum led me here via howardforums....i-mate recently released their JAM ROM upgrade and that looks to be where the GPRS connection problems have surfaced. They are not being reported as specific to T-Mobile or even the US. Users with different carriers and/or the ROM for another country (at least saw UK referenced) are finding the bug.
From a quick scan of i-mate's forum for the PDA2K, similar symptoms are being reported after the ROM upgrade for that device.

I used the new hacked .cab for a few days and had no problems whatsoever when I installed it from a hard reset WHEN NOT INSTALLING THE EXTROM. The GPRS ran great and no longer disconncted with the touch of the red phone button.
Unfortunately, I had problems with "Phone Pad" among others which I thought could be solved by installing the full 1.11 EXTROM. After installing the extrom and the .cab fix, my phone pad was working fine, but now the damn "Unknown reason" Error message is back again which leads me to belive that there is something in the extrom that is messing stuff up.
I'm afraid that I'm going to have to head back to 1.06WWE now for the 5th time. It's pain in the ass as I have to set up my exchange server settings all over again. I'm getting really tired of Imate's piss poor programming. Do they not test their own software? I noticed problems minutes into the new ROM. It's unacceptable.
Well, that's my ranting raving for the evening. I'm sure that after I spend my Saturday reinstalling everything back to 1.06 that I-Mate will release a file to fix everything. :-(

Maybe it's me....but I thought that this was the B/A forum.....
:?

I also have the same problem with the new rom in HK. So, I can confirm that this is not operator related. It also happened to magician as well.
I installed again a previous version of wireless manager from other rom and will report later. Not the 'Remove wifi logo' one but 'Default_OEM_BA_09080401.CAB'.

thanks, TLO! I appreciate all of your hard work! This added the timer for me and doesn't seem to kill my GPRS connection when I hit the hang up button more than once, as it was before.
Now if I can just get the darn device to actually consistently MAKE a connection without requiring a soft reset...

The 'Default_OEM_BA_09080401.CAB' is no good.
It also had the same effect.
I hard reset my device and change the autoconfig file to NOT to install any patch. I then check the connections by turning on and off again and it's working so far. Will report again tomorrow.
Cheers,

Cingular 8125 rom upgraded to rom 2.16.9.101 successfully

I have installed the 1.12.10 GSM on it after making backups with aWizard. I am happy to report that it does work and that it does speed up the initial connection. Before (with 1.09.11 I beleive) I could log into (enter my PIN) and would still have some time before I would connect and get signal bars. It also seemed to increase refresh rates of the bars. Now the signal is usually found before I even finish entering my PIN muchless the today screen loading.
These tests were made in my basement at my house where I typically have been getting 1-3 bars. now to test 1.13.10 and 2.8 OS to see if it works.
I will say I thought it broke at first because I couldn't get my PC to talk to it after it reloaded, then I did another soft reset and the boot screen the second time didn't list the GSM version, even though the OS did see and use GSM. I re-ran the CID unlock procedure again since I could talk to the phone again. Reset again and GSM ver was on the boot screen again.
I also swapped out the boot screen for a bmp and that worked wonderfully. my only question is if there is a way to swap out the booting screen of the OS and not just the IPL Rom.
cheers,

I have just done the RUU install of 2.16.9.101 which also upgrades IPL/SPL to 2.16. It changed my radio version to 2.7.10 and my protocol version is 413.1.0.3. This ROM date is 2/6/06.
Immediate differences are the battery notification is now at the top where on Cingular's ROM it was at the bottom next to the comm switch program. That and everything is I-Mate branded. No Get Good, but instead now I have I-Mate backgammon and Skype. And instead of the Cingular Mail link now there is an I-Mate mail link.
I will update later with more.
More... OS ver 5.1.195 build 14847.2.0.0 IDK if this is different or not.
Update 11AM: I have tested more. ZPhone themes I can't seem to install... IDK why but with the original Cingular ROM I couldn't either. The original ROM had a bug that used the proxy of the modem setting on the wifi setting making wifi not work unless you went and disabled it since it is enabled by default. This new rom after installing "Cingulcustomize_No_Emails.cab" to get MediaNet back, wifi just works. Even with the Proxy set on the modem connection. My Bluetooh headset (Jabra HT800) works great. Comm Manager is real nice. Even showing you the status of SMS and GPRS/EDGE connection. I want to play with it a little more to see if I can control those two or not. Gone from teh Cingular ROM is the ability to click on the Edge status icon in the notification area and tell it to turn on Wifi. But the Turn on Flight Mode still exists under the Cell Strength bar. Signal strength is comperable to the 1.12.10 radio rom I had before the upgrade. And IDK if it is taking longer to load from a reset or not, but before the Phone radio would be up and running just as I was finishing putting in my PIN unlock. But now it is running and connected before I can even start to input it. Just observation, that extra second doesn't mean anything.

I also have the 8125, so I am curious if the Imate ROM will cause any problems after the upgrade. I am not sure I want to wait a few more months until Cingular gets around to providing their upgrade.
Some other posters with the test/beta Qtek AKU 2.0 rom reported that they had trouble with the device resetting itself and problems with Wi-Fi. Let us know if you experience any issues with this ROM.
How has EDGE speed been, any improvements over the shipped ROM? Have you tried push email?

ok, i updated my 8125 to the new rom and am having two issues atm. first, the phone signal icon and the battery icon on the today screen is cut off so i only see the edge icon. secondly, i cannot start wifi at all, no matter what i do :\ (it looks like it's thinking but doesn't actually turn on ) now i did apply the cingular extended rom to this so i dont know if that caused both issues or not. as for edge performance, i'm in an area with bad signal so i couldnt exactly test it. i'm going to be clearing storage tonight and see if that fixes both issues or not. i haven't tested push e-mail as clubimates servers AREN'T supporting direct push (ie they don't have SP2 installed or have it enabled on exchange).

Locked up
Well I am noticing that it is locking up if I let it sit for a while to where I can't bring it back up. I have disabled the lock code to see if that fixes it.
I would have a feeling that the problems you are having are because of the enhanced rom difference. it won't hurt to try it as is like I did since you are having problems with it.

were can I fine install
I look for the rom in the ftp but there is no RUU install of 2.16.9.101 can you please tell me where can I fin this rom
thank you

thank you for giving the info on where to get the link. I have been away from a pc today.
as an update: the phone seems to be stable with the new rom (I am actually using the phone now using edge and it seems faster than my old phone was which was a nokia.)
I haven't had it lock up on me since I uninstalled battery pack pro, disabled lock code, and uninstalled skype & backgammon so take your pick as to what fixed it. I will do some more expereriments to try and figure iit out.

Are you having the same issues as darkjedi who said he's having problems with WiFi and signal strength icon?

after the upgrade i cant find the GPS ICON
even i try to delete the redirect string in the registry like i used to do before
still i cant see the icon on my setting page
please anyone noticed this problem ?

i finally fixed the signal strength icon (but don't ask me how), but wifi is still borked

no more problems, lock ups or otherwise
My guess with my problems were related to Battery Pack Pro demo. Even on the original rom I couldn't get it to work right with the assignable hard keys.
Anyway, I did not modify the original EXE one bit like darkjedi said he did. He seems to be much more advanced as I don't know how to do what he did and not that familier with its registry settings yet. But I naver had any problems with Wifi nor with icon placement.
My home wifi does use WPS-PSK TKIP using a Netgear WG302. Battery life seems good, but I do get a little crackle every now and then on my end of the bluetooth handsfree. People I talk to haven't said they hear anything other than perfect clarity. I would have been told if they heard anything since part of my reason to spend the money now rather than later was my voice and signal quality on my old Nokia was getting to be bad and they wouldn't waste a second ragging me if voice and signal problems were re-appearing. But mostly the crackle is few and far between and usually when my headset is on the other side of my body or I am a few feet away from my phone.

i didn't modify the original EXE, i installed it as normal, then after the fact, copied the cingular extended ROM then installed each cab manually. i didn't get a chance to try wifi before i applied the extended rom, but i just might hard reset and try that.

i dnt see the rush to upgrade if u have a cingular 8125 since there goa offer rom upgrades for the unit. with all the bugs i rather just get a ad2 bt plugin (wish they made it) and just do that

what roms do they offer? On my past phones I have had to have major problems before they would flash a new version of the Rom (my last 2 symbian phones).

ok... the only cab I installed for Cingular was the one I mentioned earlier. I have since installed spb power plus and their weather app and I am still stable. Not one failuer and my bluetooth is actually acting better from some reason. I was working on my car today with teh phone in the car and I was about 10 feet away without any noise or other problems.

Is there any settings to configure edge? I only see GPRS in the connections section.
This version appears quite stable but's only my second day since upgrading my 8125 from the QTECH 2.8.7.102. I really like the Comm manager and the Push Email icon works great.
Thanks!

name of account
the only thing that I have notice so far is that the name of my celular company (I could see before upgrade) now i only see numbers.

On the new imate ROM I'm getting between 65 and 110 kbps on edge. Latency is still crap at about 1.5 seconds on average, but that's what it's always been for me.
Direct push is great. Assuming you have Exch SP2 installed, push works without any other changes. I'm averaging between 7 and 10 seconds for an entry to push out after it gets to Exchange. I haven't installed the device management tools yet, but I'll do that soon and let you know how well they work.
I just noticed wifi isn't working. If I enable it in comm manager, the button is ringed in green as if it's on, but the left green led does not blink and it does not detect my open, unsecured access point. I did install the cabs from my original cingular extended rom, and one of those appears realted to wifi, but not sure what it does. I'll mess around some more and see what I can do. I'm not totally heartbroken that wifi is messed up, but it does bug me that I don't know why it aint working.

Radio Rom Issue ? Reception Issue ?

Have a weird problem and wanted to see if anyone knows a fix.
I have siemens sx66 running wm2003
When using the phone through out the day the phone part of it stops making and recieving calls, even a reset wont fix the issue, after about 5 mins it will reconnect to the network and start to work fine, this happens about 5 times a day. It is not a reception issue since the phone worked fine in my house for the last year, it just started happening.
I upgraded to Helmi AKU3.2 1.3.2b windows mobile 5 and it seems to be more stable. Now when i lose the connection with the network a softreset will allow it to reconnect back to the network. One time when it disconnected i went into device information and for radio rom it said NONE, could this have something to do with the problem, is the phone deleting the radio rom or not seeing it sometimes?

Update:
To try to fix this issue I first smacked it a couple of times, this did nothing to resolve the problem, I then took the entire phone apart to see if there was anything broken, after noticing nothing I smacked the phone a couple of more times. After putting the phone back together the issue is still there.

doing a soft reset when "Radio: NONE" pops up seems to be the only solution.
btw, have you upgraded to Radio 1.15.00?

Hi all.
I'm facing the same issue.
Since I upgraded to Helmi's AKU3.2-1.3.1 I noticed, that the Radio Stack suddenly is lost. You will get no error message. Switching the BA on you will note that the Radio Icon has an "!". Soft resetting will not work. But strange enough, if putting th BA into craddle (or using an USB cable for syncing/charging) and then soft resetting will work, the radio unit is re-enabled again.
I'm now on AKU 3.2-1.3.2 and the issue still exists.
Unfortunately you cannot reproduce this behaviour. Sometimes it happens, but you can be happy and the BA is working for day's without any trouble.
Beside this: the BT stack performance is the worsest I ever met. Just noise, jitter and a very short range using my Headset (Plantronics M2500)
I will try AKU 2.6 this weekend hoping it will be more stable.

yes upgraded to radio rom 1.15 from 1.13 hoping it would fix the issue. Do you guys think the issue is hardware or software?

dr.x
You may want to downgrade from 1.15. There have been several reports in different posts that 1.15 presents several random problems. I installed it for about 2 weeks, but then my phone started making sounds like screetching metal, which led me to believe that I had a loose wire on the speaker or something like that. Then, I remembered about some people complaining about this Radio, so I decided to downgrade. Have not had that problem again. Moreover, I seemed to have weird reception problems in areas where I normally had good signal as well.
All in all, my bets are towards the Radio rather than the BA itself. So, downgrade your Radio and stop hitting your BA before I have to call "BA Services" for domestic violence :wink:
Hope this helps!

Hi.
I upgraded to Radio ROM 1.15.00 long time ago und as it worked fine.
As I mentioned before, i faced the problems with disappearing Radio Unit first after I upgraded to AKU 3.2-1.3.1
So I suppose, it will have to do with this ROM Version (AKU 3.2-x.x.x)

Tytn II freezing/ hanging in standby

Hi all - I have a weird problem for which I am hoping people here would have a resolution. Recently bought a Tytn II,
ROM Version 1.81.415.4 WWE
ROM Date 10/29/07
Radio Version 1.27.15.32
Protocol version 22.51.88.13W
Using with a 2 GB memory card
Now, i have noticed a few times that the device just does not come out from the standby mode - the Green LED indicating that the GSM is on is flashing, but when I try to call into it using anothe rphone, it indicates being switched off or not reachable. I try to start is using the power key, or any number of keys without luck - the only way out is a soft reset.
I have seen some people quote a similar problem, but not inding a resolution there, am posting this up here
Pls help - I am extremely reliant on this as a business device and will get stuck if it behaves like this

Have you tried a hard reset? I know some radio's/ROM's have this issue

mine started doing that a while back and I found that it was a combination of my phone automaticly reciving an email while it was asleep and this program I had that gave you points for AP's and cell towers I forget what its called after I got rid of that program and changed my email to retrive manually the problem stoped

What apps would I need after a hard reset ?

Hi - thanks for the valuable advice. I would do so - however, another problem is compounding the same - I got this from a friend, and dont have the getting started CD that comes with the pack - can you tell me about, on a hard reset, what apps would I need to reload from the getting started CD? Or would I not need the CD ? I have all the other contact data with me on Outlook, and the other files I have copies of on the computer, so I don't plan to use a backup/ restore.

The only thing I have noticed that gets changed is the sensitivity resets to default usually which can be changed back in KaiserTweak or Advanced Configuration. I would say if you have never done any ROM or Radio changes to the device, and its a new phone its probably got something wrong with it. That gives you 2 options. 1 - take it back and get it replaced if you can, or 2 - follow the WIKI and change you ROM/Radio, but read WIKI because you will need to HardSPl before flashing anything.

I had the Standby of Death SOD this is when the phone fails to come out of standby with a power button press. This issue only affects some people on some networks. I'm not sure if its a network problem or a software problem but as only a minority of people have it, I suspect its mainly a network problem there is a software solution.
The solution is to change the phone settings band option from auto 3G/2G to either 3G Only (WCDMA + UTMS 2100 in Europe) or 2G Only (GSM + AUTO) depending on your requirements.
Also read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540943&highlight=standby&page=2 where the resolution was to get a new SIM.
Obviously this only solves the problem when the crash is because of the sim and/or settings which impact the sim. To rule out a software cause its best to start with a hard reset.

I have the same issue once in a while. In my case gwes.exe hangs at that point which after that i have to soft reset. Still have no fix found though

I'm sorry but my fix wont work for you as its only for people whose phones only crash in standby there is no gwes.exe hang associated with it. Obviously it only solves the problem when the crash is because of the sim and/or settings which impact the sim. To rule out a software cause its best to start with a hard reset.

@nlel
I allready tried a hard reset but the problem returns after a certain time.
The gwes.exe does not hang when using the device, it only hangs when resuming from standby and does not allways occur.

Well in your case its very obviously a software or hardware problem and nothing to do with the SIM and/or settings which impact the SIM. I don't know what else to suggest if my solution doesn't help I don't know what else you can try to do btw how do you know gwes.exe is crashing when resuming from standby.
When it happens to me (because of phone band type set to auto) I cannot see what is happening on the phone at that precise moment as I have to soft reset. There is nothing that is obviously crashing at the same time.
By the way gwes.exe according to MSDN, its Graphics, Windowing, and Events Subsystem. GWES loads display drivers, printer drivers, and touch screen drivers, maybe you have a hardware fault.
Does it happen to both your Tytn II's?? and have you tried my solution or a new SIM ?

HTC Diamond WiFi issue, help needed

Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can resolve/give suggestion for my problem.
Basically i have experience problems connecting via Wi-Fi i.e the after activating wi-fi the phone will scan for available networks and give you the list. I then try to connect to my router (bt home hub which is actually speed touch) it does connect and stays connected for some time then suddenly the connection is dropped and under wifi it says that my access point is unavailable. If i turn wifi off/on again and scan for networks it comes up with "No visible Networks detected" even though there are like 5 access points in my house and i can connect to any of them using my laptop and old nokia e60. If i wait a while it will connect again but will not keep the connection. I have tried at home, work and some public places-every time is the same story.
Things i tried:
Soft reset/hard reset (many times)
Tried disabling phone radio in case3g chip interrupts
I tried with secure networks, open networks, different types of authentication/encryption, different router (more than 10) and every its the same story. I also tried several ROMS and ALL RADIO's available with the same result.
I am currently on Duttys_Diamv2.3 WWE RADIO 1.00.25.08, its a clean flash, nothing else is installed. I also have SPL-1.40Olinex installed (not sure if that could have an impact) The phone is vodafone branded btw (i had the same issue with vodafone rom which is why i decided to try other roms). I wonder if anyone has any thoughts/suggestions and would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

The same situation happened to my Diamond. I took it to the local dealer for HTC and after several days, I am told that the main board will need replacement. I am still waiting for it to be repaired as the parts had to be braught in from another country. I was also saud if the phone was less than a month old (which it is not) they would have replaced it with a new phone.
Good luck repairing yours and keep us updated.

Thanks Omar, I was kinda thinking that it may be hardware issue, but I don't anymore, I am trying something else actually as we speak. The only thing I haven't tried before is another hard SPL and I think that's the problem, I installed another version hspl1.34 and it seems more stable now and wifi keep connection, also with another hspl version (it was hspl 1.24) RAM under devise info>hardware showed 128, now it is 192. I will test in intensively and post my results here in case nay one else have the same issue. Hopefully I will not have to send it away for repair. Thanks for your info anyways.

In risk of sounding lame ...
Have ya tried 'Start' / 'Settings' / 'System' 'Wireless LAN'
Under Wireless LAN click 3'rd tab (strømtilstand in Danish - could be power-settings)
On that tab - pull the marker way to the left in order not to minimize the power consumption when tryng to hookup with the WiFi.
I had massive problems to get my local WiFi working at home - until I did this trick.
Best luck, Kindly

Yes i have thats the first thin you do anyways . I am now more than sure that the issue was with HSPL version 1.34, as soon as i got rid of it (installed hspl 1.24) all is fine.

With my phone, i tired all Hard SPL versions and even went back to stock SPL & Rom 1.37 & 1.93 and it still didn't fix the WIFI issue. it will work for 5-15 minutes then it will not work.
Anyway, I got a replacement phone as apparently they couldn't fix it.

...I have the same problems with you
However, I think the problem may caused by different ROM versions.
My hTC version Diamond initially flashed a Chinese version ROM, and the WiFi connects well, while I changed to Dutty's most updated ROM, this problem comes and I cannot figure out why untill now.
Some friends also suggested to go to the Power Management and change WiFi to "Best Performance", I tried and failed again.
WiFi can open and connect to Routers located in library of my university, nevertheless it cannot open any pages.
I'm also waiting for any person that can solve the problem and then help us figure out why....
thanks in advance!

I got the same problem as most of the people have. and i think "Fail to turn on wifi" is a very common among guyz who got HTC TD.
I dont know what should be done, i almost tried every thing. actually my phone was locked to 3 mobile Sweden and i unlocked it but my wifi was'nt working before unlocking too but i did'nt gave attention to it. Now i noticed it.. is that any one know how to lock it again soo that i can send my mobile for repairs or, any one know what should i do.

I would recommend upgrading your radio and your rom.
Ive been rocking the setup in my sig for some weeks now and its been flawless, stable and fast.

which rom and radio you are using. can you please help me in this matter.
and i think its not a hardware problem because its showing that hardware is connected to my device as its shown in the screen shoot

Hi,
Im using AlphaZero V7 NLD,
Im have 1 wifi point in my house, downstairs.
even when im on the attic i have 80% signal strengt.
My router is a draytek 2820G router.
Wifi for me is very good. .. correctly, AZTOR V7 NLD is very good for me.
im on t-mobile network.
Radio Radio v1.00.25.05 , Radio v1.00.25.08, Radio v1.00.25.16, where all good,
now testing Radio v1.08.25.20, HDSPA signal is bit weaker atm.
my best radia atm i think, v1.00.25.08.
im betting, that the starter of this toppic, who has 5 access points in his house all have the same SSID. This is not the way.
Or make 1 big AP aera, bij connecting the AP's to each other.
of try to set every AP its own SSID, and its own Channel.

i also have the same problem. it detects a wifi (my router at home Aztech brand), then trying to connect to it, and then it always showed the wifi as "unavailable". i put my phone 2 mm distance from the antenna of my router it also won't connect. i have change dozens of roms, win 6.1, 6.5, 6.5.1, different cook, MTTY, all with no success.
i've looked for internet and google for answers, i seen quite a lot of forum has described this issue, but with no solution. most of the ppl suggest in various forums to pull the wireless slider to "Best Performance", ofcourse i have done that, but is just the same result.
i'm still trying searching for a solution for this, i hope is not a hardware issue because my warranty has already ended. i'm currently using Gen Y R4.1B rom

Ok consider now wifi will work by re-flashing the spl.
But what is the relation between spl (os/winmo loader) with wifi?

another dang unsolved diamond wifi?
bravo.

same problem with wifi on diamond2
With Original stock WM6.1 i was unable to connect at all, after flashed official WM6.5 upgrade everything worked fine. However i decided to put cooked rom because of battery life and perfomance issues. Dutty HG6 for Topaz seems to be with glitchy radio, it works sometimes, very rare, and i'm still not up to the pattern when does it happen and why. Pretty sure it's not a hardware problem - so everybody relax, we will find the solution.

and i think its not a hardware problem because its showing that hardware is connected to my device as its shown in the screen shoot
