WM5 WiFi

Hi guys and girls.
I finally plucked up courage to install WM5 and suprisingly, it worked like a charm! not one single problem
There is one cherry on the top that would be very nice if anyone can help.
On the today screen there is a nice little bluetooth icon in the bottom right hand corner; is there any way to get a wifi icon next to it instead if having to go into start > Settings > connections > WLAN to turn it on?
Appreciate any suggestions offered.
Cheers

can someone please send me the orginal wirelessmgr.exe file? i tried to load the wirelessmgr.exe from the universal and now i cant turn wireless on or off

Codiac, I have taken a hotkey (camera, I don't use that much anyway, but any key would do) and mapped that to WLAN_MAN. Works very nicely, but I hope there will be a fix for the dissappearing WLAN (and BT, even though that doesn't matter that much to me since I never turn off the unit when I'm using anything BT) in the near future.

I never thought of that works spot on now :lol:
Must remember in future to engage brain before fingers :?
Cheers Mastiff

I added the program into O2plus apps tab

Codiac... how did you get the bluetooth icon on the Today screen? I just upgraded to Mamaich's Patch 5 but I don't have a bluetooth icon

me too..i can't see the bt icon and sometimes i quicly need of it..how can i show it?

Read the Wiki about missing files, patches number 1: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_WM5_Patches_ChangeLog

This is wierd?!?
After I did the upgrade the nice little BT icon was on the today screen, never bothered with it because BT is useless. Read these posts and had a look to see if I could work out how it got there and it has dissapeared?!?
The only thing I can think of is that I accidentally uninstalled one of the patches downloaded from wiki.
ill try and get it back on and let you know how I did it
Cheers

OOPs, sorry should have read Mastiffs post properly first
Mastiff is right, you need to install ba_wm5_fix_v1
Cheers

Well I've installed the BA_wm5 patch, but still have wifi problems. On 2003 my BA used to turn on wifi every time i turned on the unit, great as i have wifi at home and at work, now it always defaults to off and I have to switch it on every time I've turned off my BA. It's driving me nuts as I use email via wifi at work all day. Is there any way to get the wifi always on? Please....?

That's what I've been *****in' about for more than a week now...

Surely there's a way to default wifi to on, here's hoping somebody works it out before i downgrade to 2003.

i douwngraded to wm2003se..wifi on wm5 don't work at all..dosn't connect on my AP (on wm2003se is very fast)..so..because i need it i'll wait a more stable version..perhaps backlight regolation will be fixed

Backlight regulation was fixed more than a week ago! And I don't really know why you have WiFi problems, I have only one problem, that it defaults to off.

The default to off is the problem. I use my BA for work only. At home I use my wifi network to access work schedule appointments, and when in the office I use their wifi hotspot. At present i am having to tun on wifi realistically around a hundred times a day to update my joblist.
Is there a way to add any sort of utility to startup to turn it on at power on maybe?

I've tried everything to make my WiFi work but no luck.
However, I think I'll hold on because I really like WM5. I've ran through all the registry setting but nothing I've tried so far has made a difference. Enev tried downgrading the encryption settings on my MIMO. Furthermore, when I take off SSID broadcast, my BA seems to be able to see the AP but still fails to connect.
It's really annoying because I like to synchronize Avantgo over WiFi and most importantly use my BA when I'm in the bathroom doing you know what. Somebody please help!
Hey Mastiff, what security settings have you got enabled on your Access Point?

Cytrax, did you install activesync 4 to upgrade your rom? You can't sync by wifi on activesync 4 at all, they've removed the option from the program!

cytrax, I have 64 kbit WEP and MAC access control since the 128 kbit WEP was slow to access with another CE unit I have.

Thanks for that info, mastiff.
OK, this is wierd! At this particular point, WiFi works on my BA. However, it only works when I'm at work. The settings configured on Work AP is very similar to what I've got at home. The only difference is I use Netgear MIMO at home while Buffulo Airstation is deployed at work. This is really freaking me out (well, not exactly, but it's annoying).
I also tried with an old Belkin AP last night but didn't get any luck. I think I'm going to try 64bit WEP once I reach home. Watch this space!

Kaiser/Tilt won't connect to internet through PC

I have tried everything over the last two weeks:
disable/enable proxy
AllowLSP registry entry
firewall settings
home and work networks
wired and wireless connections
and I still cannot get the WM6 device to connect to the internet through my XP PC when it is connected via activesync.
Does someone have the silver bullet perfect solultion?

yes,
i installed Dutty's Rom and that fixed the dillema, before i was not able to fix it, didn't matter what i tried.

I've been unable to solve this as well on my stock Tilt. I'm not really thrilled about flashing a new rom (I'd no doubt brick the little bugger).
It would be nice to know what's blocking the connect, though.

If you're AT&T you need to run the disable proxy cab to connect to internet usin A/Sync.

....and three seconds later, that worked (I've been tinkering around all moring trying to solve that).
Thanks a ton Gsleon3!

Finally! It is hard to type as I jump up and down. The remove proxy cab worked!
So now the question, what doesn't work when the proxy is removed? Looks like at&t video and medianet pages don't work and weather on the HTC home screen.

On my Kaiser the remove proxy cab didn't work..What else can I do to use my xp's internet connection?

where to find the cab file?
Can anyone tell me where to find the disable proxy cab file? I've been searching on the forum but i can't seem to find it.
thx

dutty's threads have it.. a collection of cabs

i have the opposite problem - i want my tilt to NOT connect through the PC and to use MediaNET instead (because we block streaming media at work)
however i find that when the phone is usb connected to my PC i get no internet at all.
can anyone advise?

nevermind - searched and found solution to my problem

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?

WiFi Router HELP!!!

I may sound like a newb but here goes, how do i turn my tilt into a wifi router so i can connect such things as my psp, xbox360, etc. to the internet? Ive read and everyone says theres a program on the phone to do this but i dont see this great program. Im using dutty's newest rom apr 01 and not seeing this wifi router program/app anywhere. Is there a cab for this? Anyone know how to connect such devices to the internet using my phone? I have the unlimited data plan through att. Thanks!

Hello pulyka, I have this program installed on my Tilt, but my laptop doesn't see the Tilt's wifi connection when the program says its connected.
Am I missing something?

You aren't the only one. I've never been able to get it to work on my Tilt, when I used to use it all the time on my Mogul.

I hear now this program costs money. If no guarantee for tilt compatibility, can refunds be granted if it doesn't work?

I must say that the IT manager at my job has this program installed on his Tilt and it works fine. He actually used it in a meeting the other day when the main signal was too weak.
He is just so busy that I haven't been able to have him check out my phone, to see what is the problem. So there is some hope for Tilt owners and WMWIFIRouter.

Worked fine on my Tilt running Sleuth 3.0 Rom.
Try the earlier version, it is still free and it works fine (just a little less polished).

I tried the WMWiFiRouter .91 once. My tilt took too long to connect to the ad hoc network so I stop using it. I think that's the problem. You have to wait until your phone to connect to the network before the router starts working.

USB to PC - Internet sharing

I'm not sure if it has been mentioned yet but if you go to HKLM\Software\HTC\USBtoPCPopUp\OnlyTwoChoice and set that to 0 Internet sharing will now be on the UsbtoPC Pop Up screen!

UsbtoPC works perfectly for me!

Does it work?
If it doesn't work, I suggest you try WMWifiRouter 1.30 (I tried it and it works, and gives you many options, like use the phone as a Wifi adapter, use the computer's internet and share it via the Wifi on the cell phone, use the cellphone's internet via wifi, bluetooth or usb. Great app!

PdaNet
If you have problems with the USB to PC link try, PdaNet it works great for a few $$. I have used this on all my WM phones. They have versions for all different phones. Even the scarlet letter "A" phone.
Below is a link to the webpage.

It does work!
Worked for me, also working is wifi sharing , so two easy methods, but this one is easiest

Nice apps for tethering here
good stuff thanks guys

Thanks, it works! I figured it would, but I finally got a registry editor, and I can't beleive what you can do just by changing little things like that.
Well I found a problem, If I do this tweak for some reason it causes my HD2 to hardly work, and I noticed that isHome.exe is using 95% cpu. As soon as I undo the tweak, I have no problems. Any Idea why?

good stuff
thanks
