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
J

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

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!

[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?

WM6 wifi sucks?

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone experience bad wifi connections with WM6. I have highspeed at home and i connect it thur Wifi max..for my psp. thou, I have not been able to experience smooth internet surfing. It's slow and choppy, and I don't have any downloads or traffic going on? Does anyone experience this?
I also tried this tweaks and still no improvements.?
Does anyone out there have good experience with wifi on the wizard or it's just my setting? I want to figure that out? thank you for your time reading this post.
This is the original Reg Key on the Wizard "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\comm\TNETWLN1\Parms\"dot11Supp ortedRateMask" Dword (1). Leave this "as it is" and add the one that I added here and if its already in the reg then verify that its edited to the correct "Dword (4)" If the oder key is not there tahn it could be any othr problem but usualy I have this problem when I had both keys Dword 1 and "G" Dword 8 after I change that 8 to be a 4 my problem was resolved.
Please don"t change, edit or delete this one:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\comm\TNETWLN1\Parms\"dot11Supp ortedRateMask" Dword (1)"
For a stable Wifi on My 8125 I had to edit on the registry, I had to edit it as this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\comm\TNETWLN1\Parms\"dot11Suppo rtedRateMaskG" Dword (8) This one is not good on AKU3.3 or neither on WM6. But is not very stable with this Rom Faria's AKU 3.3 so you have to edit to:
This is the perfect reg key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\comm\TNETWLN1\Parms\"dot11Suppo rtedRateMaskG" Dword (4) After editing reset the device by turning off and on or by using the Shot down Key don't use stylus because could cause that the registry dosen't
gets saved.
hklm\comm\tnetwln1\parms\dot11supportedratemask
enable=8
disable=1

i got the orwells rom..and its perfect on wifi.. i geet an awesome signal..better thn wm5 ..and plus i can stream movies online !... like i was watching trailers and they were playing 150kkbps+..which is pretty awesome for a small device like that..streaming music at 100kbps +... id say just try out a clean rom and try out ...

Awesome!
Wow, your wifi must be really good to stream video online, what program are you using to stream video? I tried a few like handitv, but doesn't stream live.....and only work fast enough when I have my usb connected to my comp but not wifi?
Oh also I am using the clean WWE WM6 version. maybe it's my wifi max hmm, but I can play online with it on my psp thou I can't seem to get smooth wifi internet connection with my wizard ..even on my psp it's smooth internet.haha...
Well least I know wizard is capable of having smooth wifi on WM6, I'll keep reading post and researching then cause it's my setting problem then.
BTW what is your internet speed and what router you use? Also did you use any tweaks or modified the reg?

Try using a regular wifi router.

Would if I could.
I would have tried it on a wifi router if I had one, I didnt' choose to buy one cause I heard the connection isn't as fast as cable or ADSL. Only bought the wifi max for my psp.
But at least now I know WM6 wifi is capable of fast and smooth internet. Well at least one person replied he did.

WIFI works very well on my WM6, no speed problems, downloading like it should... using protected wifi network

does wifi max work on wm6.1?
I have an HTC Touch vx6900 upgraded to wm6.1 and I love it. My internet is lightning fast. Even while streaming live tv with orb and downloading torrents on my pc live tv is smooth, no buffering at all. I only like using wifi max for my psp when I am out of town so i can still play socom ftb2, at home I have a router. My problem is that I had wifi max running perfectly with my lame treo vx750. Now I can't seem to get it working with my HTC. I've tried reinstalling everything drivers and all. I'm at the point where my phone's internet is connected to my laptop with pdanet at 2.4mbps, and wifi max connected and set to an access point. Internet is still lighting fast on my laptop, but when i scan for a signal on my psp it will come up as wp_lan at 100% but the internet connection on my psp always fails. I've tried tinkering with the zydas settings and the PSP WIFI Max Media Manager settings but nothing seems to work. I must be forgetting something, does anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone gotten a setup like this to work? Like i said i had it working with my treo. I really wouldn't think my phone would be the problem, because an internet connection on my laptop has already been established. Just not on my psp. I've been trying to figure this out for days, I need help from someone smart lol

Differences is I use the dopod rom on my p3600?

Hi - I have been reading through the forum and I can see I can flash my p3600 with the new dopod rom to enable GPS . I just haven't picked up the courage to do it yet !!
What are the main differences (apart from the GPS) ?.........
Is the dopod a basic blue theme rather than the HTC green ?? Can someone upload some picture of the phone and the comm manager ??
Is there any other differences ?? I have spend quite a while getting an exchange server setup for push email to my phone, I presume this will still work with the new rom ?
Can I revert back to the HTC rom if I don't like it ? Should I make a backup of the current image before I flash the new one ??
Thanks

Some differences
From what I have seen, there are some minor differences. the HTC "green" theme is not there, and there it a DOPOD specific theme instead. The comm manager is a difference colour, but the same functionaility. The Dopod rom also comes with "Voice Controller" software, and something called "CAM Agent".
Apart from that, no other difference I can see, apart from the GPS working!
Lee

post more impressions for GPS please

GPS after upgrade...
GPS works well for me. I'm using it with the TomTom navigator 6 software. Simple to configure, picked up a signal in under minute and so far seems to maintain around 3-6 satellites. It picked up satellite signals in the car, and even occasionally indoors!

Please can you tell me if there is the option to connect through WPA2 Cisco Leap protocol in the wifi features?
Thanks in advance

WPA2
Well, there is an option to connect to wireless networks using the WPA2 authentication (amongst others), but I don't know if that is "Cisco LEAP" specific.

When u add a wifi lan, u can choose WPA2 AES. In the next page there should be a pop up menu with EAP TYPE. If Leap is not supported u should see only the choice "PEAP" or "Smartcard".
Would you try and let me know?
Thank you very much for your help

Thanks all for your imput !
Any chance of a few screen shots of the phone page amd the commanager ??

No.. you can only chose between PEAP and Smartcard with dopod rom

Speed difference?
Any noticeable increase in video playback speed with this new ROM?
And what about during gameplay?
Has the touch screen slowdown issue been resolved?
(see this thread for touchscreen issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=290519)

Hi,
little summary ...
1. WPA2 isn´t available with the new rom ? And with the old one ?
2. Has the touch screen slowdown issue been resolved?
(see this thread for touchscreen issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=290519)
3. Last but not least how is the GPS signal quality by comaprison to the SIRF ?
Thanks a lot !

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
