[WM2005] Wifi Resume Fix!

Ok guys, I believe I've found the regkey to fix all the dropping wifi issues within WM2005. This has been tried and tested on my Blue Angel SX66 Cingular with the hack listed in the wiki to get up to WM2005. Anyways, to the patch, unfortunately I don't know how to make cab's so follow along. Get yourself a registry editor (i.e. TRE) and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\"Your Adapter Name. Mine had 2 keys, tiacxwln and tiacxwln1, tiacxwln1 was the ticket for me" Within the Parms folder you'll find a DWORD value named ResetOnResume which should be set to '1' change that value to '0' and hit ok in the bottom left corner. Give your BA a soft reset and all should be good. I haven't tested this for side effects, but it now reconnects to wifi on resume without a hitch. Please post results back here, I hope I am not jumping the gun!
TIP: To find your adapter name go into Settings>Connections>Network Cards>Network Adapters and look for "xxxxxxx Compatible Wireless Ethernet" again, mine was called 'tiacxwln Compatible Wireless Ethernet'.

Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!!!
This has been my number one gripe with WM5, everything else as just been small annoyances. But this one... I use WiFi a lot, actually almost every time I turn he thing on. I even got WiFi in my car! So thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Oh, do I have to say that it really works? :lol: Qtek 9090 btw.
You who try this, don't forget to turn off the unit for 15 seconds before you do the soft reset, this flushes the registry.

This also appears to work on WM2003, at least with my SX66 running the current revs from the SX66 Standardization Project.

WOW ... its perfect ..... you're realy MAN !!! thx thx thx.....

I've updated BA_WM5_FIX.CAB so that it sets this registry value:
ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Blueangel/wm5_test/BA_WM5_FIX.CAB

with this registry setting wifi on my BA will not stay off. anyone else getting this?

Yes, I see the same thing. Now suspending the unit will turn on wifi on resume. So is that a problem for those who worry about battery life? Probably. Do I care? Nope! But then I'm in my own home around 90 % of the time, within reach of the charger. No, I'm not a slacker, I actually run a business and work 8-10 hour days, but I have my office at home!

Sorry guys I don't understand what's happening. What's going on with the wifi?

brn2prgrm: On WM5, if you turn Wifi on, switch the device off, then back on, Wifi does not resume. This action was default on WM2003SE. The registry key that makes Wifi resume by itself when you turn the device back on was found, and then integrated in the WM5 patches CAB. That's basically all

Eh...it was he who found that key! What he's wondering about is why it isn't possible to make it stay off when you have enabled this key, even if WiFi is off when you suspend, it will turn on when you turn on the PPC again, which it didn't do in WM2003. It was restored to last state, on or off.
Another thing: Has anybody tried this hack with the wireless control app from the Universal that was posted here a while ago, to see if it stays off then?

I think there is a TYPO in the cab file.
I found the reg setting as tiacwln1
Shouldn't this be tiacxwln1 ????

yes, it is a typo.
I've removed the mistyped key from BA_WM5_FIX.CAB and made a BA_WIFI_FIX.CAB which sets the correct registry value. They are in the same dir on FTP

I don't understand the wifi thing:
I get some connections from my neighbours,but my own linksys won't connect?
What do I have to do to connect my MDA to my linksys router??

since I upgraded to WM5 I can't get my wifi to operate 100% of the time--for example, when I connect to wifi--the signal is locked then I try to send/receive my email and then my SX66 tries to connect via GPRS--do I have a setting that's incorrect? or is it because of this thread which is now patched?? HELP--I use my wifi a lot and lately I can't TIA!!

I'm waiting for a patch that does exactly what you thought off, restores its last stage. Not sure hwo long would it take to come out with it.
Anyway, I do not find it a hassle to Turn On Wifi once again instead of it swtiching on by itself upon power up..... I use wifi a lot too though, but haven't found a prob with it.

how about a registry patch that fixes that bluetooth auto turn off annoyance?

O2 XDA IIs (wifi)

Wifi Problem Connection!!!!

I need some help, I upgrade my Rom to the Dutty's WM6.1 and the Radio to 1.58.16.27, but now my Wifi is not working, actually, find my router signal but it cant connect it, i dont know why, I already put it in Best perfomance but nothing happens.
Does anyone know what to do???
Thanks
Sorry about my bad english.

Did you go through the wifi set up?
Maybe you just need to type in the password for either PSK or WEP encryption.

Your english is just as good as mine so no need to appologize.
Have you tried another Access Point? I have posted in an older thread about this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=376003
Not sure if any of this applies to you or not. Hope it helps.

thanks for your concern, i've tried 3 differents access points but nothing happens, in my wifi settings i can see my router signal, it says connecting, but stay connecting and never connects. the same happens to the other access points. it has the password writen and everything.
Do you have another solution maybe?
thanks

Did you type the password previously during set up?
Or when you were going through the setup, you see a bunch of asterisk (*)?
If its the latter... erase all of the asterisk (*) and retype the password.

thanks, but still having the same problem, is trying to connect but never connect it....
I dont know what to do now, I try everything!!!!

Possible fix
see my post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2060140&postcount=83. I had the same problem as you. I think it has to do with some DHCP registry problem, but don't know much about registry settings so not sure.

Im trying but still happen the same thing, the arrows are going to the opissite directions that means that is trying to connect, but nothing happens.
thanks for that post, if anynoe has the solution please help me,
Do i have to try a different Radio?
please let me know
thanks

Maybe somebody with the same problem?? or any thread???
thanks

Does anybody has the solution or maybe something that i can try???
thanks

ooops delete

I had a problem like that when I tried to connect to my access point. I don't know for sure what caused it but it suddenly started working after toying around - one of the things I did was gave it a static IP address rather than using DHCP (which I prefer anyways tbh), it does indeed seem to be DHCP related.

I did the same thing, it connects to my router but i cant get internet (surf, messenger, weather, etc) , nothing, just its connected but nothing happens, maybe the radio version? i dont know what to do!

I still have the problem!!!!
Any solution please!!!!
I need some help
thanks

same problem here. wifi was working just fine yesterday. today, after charging over night, i try to connect to my network at home and it keeps saying connecting... but it never establishes a solid connection. also tried other available networks while i was out during the day, and it did connect, but then it couldn't access the internet, not even to update my weather on my today screen. haven't flashed recently, haven't hard resetted. only thing i did between the last time it worked and until now was active sync to transfer music from my computer to my SD card through usb (my card reader doesn't support SDHC) and charged it over night. I've transferred files from my computer to my phone in the past without any problems.
any help is appreciated!! thanks!

i hope this help... it's not a technical response, but good luck
this response is horrible, but i had the same problem. I changed my router and now it works fine. old: BUFFALO, new: BELKIN N1 Vision. I figured out that the unit has some intereference problems... my old BUFFALO work in another appartment well with my Kaiser but not at home... (tried moving BUFFALO from my house to another neighborhood house and works fin...)

it can't be the router that's causing the problem because it was working fine up until now. i've also tried other networks, and it will say that it is connected, but then i'll try to view a page and it won't load.
i've been using Dutty's WM 6.1 Rom that was released on April 9 and using the NIKI Radio 1.58.16.27 for about a week before this problem started also, just like jmcorral.

Same here. I think it's Dutty's rom...no offese to Dutty. I bet other people got it to work, but I've had Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid and the NIKI Radio 1.58.16.27 and I've tried a bunch of other radios with no luck. I'm going to try and switch roms and see if that helps at all.

Wifi not connecting
Maybe this will help.
If you have Duty ROM, check that Network Plugin is not activated.
I also solved the same connectivity issue for a friend that is using the the ATT original ROM. The problem was the battery settings. It was set at maximum savings.

sorry for the noob question, but where can i find if the Network Plugin is activated?

Major!! Wifi Will Not Turn On!!

I've tried it all!! The wifi will not turn on at all. In the settings tab and under connection, the comm manager wifi switch pressed will cause the wait cursor to come up, but after the process it wont turn to on. Can anyone please help me.

Is the Wifi antenna icon comes up on the top menu ?

Not Sure What you mean.
1. Go to comm manager
2. Hit WiFI and the wait icon starts (should be a quick spin and its on, but the icon goes on for a while).
3. Switch instead of turning green animates back to off.
I have not loaded anything other then SKtools that could change the registry or system in anyway (no other tweaks except Schapp's)
I looked all over this forum and found tricks for other HTC phones, tried one or two, but they are made for other phones. I looked over the GPS and in Google Earth disabled it. I have also done a hard reset. I also get a device.exe error.

Please somebody help us. My diamond's wi-fi doesn't work. I try a lot of tfink. I try a lot of time hard reset. And several times upgrade diffrent roms. Now i use 1.37.401 europa rom. But my diamond's wi-fi still not work.

Got my phone from orange.

I have the same problem with german htc touch diamond and several roms.
I think the hardware has an error. Bull**** !!!
Has anyone an other idea?

I had this issue with my S710, if you turned the wifi on it would flip to on for a second before going back to off - only happened if I has it hooked up to a pc via usb. Not sure if its the same with the diamond?

I couldn't enable Wifi properly on my last phone despite hard and soft resets. After trying lots of times, I gave up and sent the phone back to Orange. I currently have a Diamond Touch that has no problems enabling, but can't connect to my router using WPA2.

I think I have the solution for wifi / wlan problems on diamond
Over one week i try to start my wifi (100 hardresets, 5 new ROMs) and then i believe it is an hardware error.
Under ...\connection\wifi\ was not the tab "wireless", only the tab "networkcards"
My last try was the solution:
1. In my HTC Kaiser is the same wifi-hardware
2. I export the registrykey "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\TNETW12511" from the kaiser to a .reg-file
3. I delete this registrykey on the diamond and import the .reg-file from the kaiser
4. Before I can start wifi i make about 5 softresets and try to start
5. But the start was only successful when I make first a connection to the pc with ActiveSync and then a softreset
This is my solution, please answer me when it works for you too
One problem is still there: after an usb connection wifi will not turn on. I must make a softreset but thats no problem for me.
Its the same what "huwwatkins" describe at #13 with the S710
Here is my regfile from kaiser

I have heard of this... The wifi does not go on but the bluetooth does. I was told it was a bad chip.

same here, called retailer today. told me HTC is working on a fix. will be available in about two weeks. let ya know

Same problem here..
I have the same problem. Tried everything - no luck. Thinking of turning it in for repair - should I flash the original SPL/ROM for warranty reasons or can they tell it's been flashed anyway ?

wifi working fine on mine
i have no problems at all

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

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.

Aaaaaargh!!! $£(% ActiveSync!

Hi folks,
Just having a problem that's really winding me up... I really hope some kind soul can help...
OK, I have a laptop running WinXP Pro and ActiveSync 4.5
I have a Kaiser (T-Mob VIII) running the shipped ROM...
Everything has been working fine for months, ActiveSync (never used it to Sync items with the PC, purely to explore the device and move files around etc), and Internet Sharing worked without any problems...
Anyway, I'm just visiting my folks and my Dad's been having a nightmare with his Nav Cam 7700 Sat Nav unit. Basically support for the device has folded and we've lost faith. I did some reading and it turns out you can 'tweak' it to run TomTom...
So, I connected his Sat Nav to my laptop (it runs CE Core 5.0), and used Mobile Registry Editor to adjust its 'init' values to kick-up explorer rather than the (terrible) preloaded Sat-Nav software... Everything went fine, we've now got his gadget working fine and all the problems he had with the terrible software it ran previously are solved
The only issue I'm having now though, is that my laptop completely refuses to connect to my Kaiser... The system-tray icon turns green and 'spins around' for a while when I connect it, but after a while it throws up the 'troubleshooting' tool because it can't connect. Needless to say, that doesn't help solve the problem.
I've un-installed and re-installed ActiveSync, checked all the old Application Data folders, DLLs and INFs are gone (removing some by hand where necessary), and I've been through the registry on my laptop to make sure none of ActiveSync stays behind...
The problem is exactly the same
I've even tried connecting my work phone to the laptop - that's a Hermes running a HTC WM6 ROM - it behaves exactly the same as the Kaiser...
Hard-Reset of the Kaiser and changing its device name didn't help either.
...The [email protected] sat nav unit still connects fine though! £%^$)%!!!!!!!!
I'd be sooooooooo grateful for any thoughts people have, as this is driving me nuts now - I really don't want to have to reformat and reinstall my laptop just to get AS working...
Thanks,
Rob.

Bro, I'm having a big problem with the mini USB plug.... when you plug the cable to your device, does it shake or it's very stable?

The plug seems pretty stable...
I guess it can be 'wiggled' a little, but nothing that gives me cause for concern - it seems as 'tight' as the connection on the Hermes I have with me (and two more that are back home)...
I was wondering about cabling/connections for a while, but I tried Internet Sharing too, that still works fine - so there's a solid-enough connection between the laptop and the PDA - it's just that ActiveSync isn't playing ball :s
Thanks,
Rob.

Try this...on you phone go to start...settings...connections..usb to pc and uncheck enable advanced network functionality. See if it works then.

jhernand1102 - you have got to be on the shortlist for the position of 'The Font of All Knowledge'... Based on your reply I should probably now be asking 'Why are we here?' or 'What's it all about?'
That worked (in case you hadn't guessed by the paragraph above! )...
I'm confused though...
1) Why did it work with the option enabled before, but not now...
2) What have I actually turned-off? The geek in me will be a little upset thinking about 'Advanced' functionaility that was previously enabled but now isn't...
Thanks
Rob.

You are not missing anything by disabling the advanced network functionality. As a matter of fact, the USB2PC application that runs on the Diamond and Touch Pro actually advises you onscreen that you should disable it if you have connection issues.

Yeah, when I went in there I saw it was the same on my Kaiser (duh!!! - silly me!)
The thing is though, I couldn't understand why it worked with it set before, but all of a sudden didn't want to.
That caused me to do some more reading...
So with that option enabled, Sync is handled via an RNDIS gateway, with it disabled, it's basic serial-over-USB. So, for basic things, disabled is fine; but for more unusual network communication configs involved in your ActiveSync, it might be better to have the advanced network functionality enabled...
I could probably manage with the serial-over-USB method, but I would a) like to know I can use RNDIS gateway should the need present itself, and b) as a bit of a geek, I'm not happy with something all of a sudden refusing to work - especially if it's an aspect of 'functionality' to some degree...
So thinking about RNDIS not working, I started messing about with Windows, and my Firewall...
I'd already set ActiveSync (all three main executables) as trusted apps in my Firewall config, and made sure that the ports required by it were open to everything inside my internet gateway.
I made sure that Windows Firewall (lol) was disabled...
I tried with my firewall 'disabled' - running, but allowing all traffic... Still no Sync...
So, god only knows why, I just quit my Firewall app, removing it from memory...
ActiveSync worked!
I re-started my Firewall, and made NO CHANGES WHATSOEVER to its configuration...
ActiveSync still worked!
...So, it's all working again - and in effect, nothing's changed.
I'd still really love to know how connecting the Win CE Core 5.0 device knocked out sync for anything which wanted to use RNDIS... I guess I might never find out... If anyone has any good theories, I'd be interested to hear, but I am prepared to cut my losses now it's working - Never look a gift horse in the mouth!
Thanks again for all your input folks,
Rob.
