I've tried various ROMS, currently using the clean Tilt rom. After a hard reset I am able to turn on the WLAN and connect to my home network. After a while, I am no longer able to turn on the WLAN. If I tap the WLAN button in comm manager, I see the spinning beach ball for a few seconds, then nothing happens. The icon doesn't light up, it doesn't search for a network, no error is displayed, just nothing.
Has anyone seen this problem or have an idea of what else I can check?
Did you install any of the custom comm managers? It's pretty common that they break the WLAN enable/disable. I use the 10 button one but there is a reghack to fix it.
I just did another hard reset. Still using Helmi_Tilt_AKU.0.7.0.R1.BigStorage.exe ROM. After the initial startup and customization ran, I was able to turn on and connect the WLAN. After that, I did a power off. (Hold the power button 5 secs). When I turned the Tilt back on, I was no longer able to turn on the WLAN. I had not installed any software.
I'm reflashing with the original ATT rom. I'll report back after I've done the same test with that ROM.
I reflashed the original ATT rom. Same Issue. I think I just have a bad unit. If I power cycle. sometimes it works, sometime it doesn't. I haven't been able to get a consistent result.
Final result. It was a bad unit. I got a warranty replacement and it's working fine now.

I recently bought a bluetooth keyboard mainly to use while on wifi, but to my disappointed wifi dont seem to work with bluetooth on!
Another problem, my ppc keeps shutting down while i'm using my bt keyboard, tried few "keepalive" apps but it still shuts down, found only one way, thats adjusting the power settings not to shut down permanently, but this needs soft reset every time
Anyone with experience or suggestion on either the above?
Nevermind that, I found out that wifi needs adequate signal strength in order to function properly with bluetooth on.
About the power issue, the main problem was not knowing when the PPC will shut down, so i wrote a morscript to prompt a countdown when its about to shut down, and option to reset the idle timer.
Thanks all..
I've done the upgrade by few days, and i've discovered this strange behaviours (don't know if they are already known):
-When i remove and put again the battery on the boot i see
R none
G none
D 5.xxxxx
so radio is disabled,
doing a soft reset repair the situation.
-Occasionally when i turn on flight mode, the phone goes off, and after few seconds it returns on automatically. Sometimes instead, the phone goes off, but the right green led continues to blink.
-When sound is off or volume is 0, and i receive a flash sms message (i've not tested with other events) the event sound play anyway (very annoying).
I have seen the first two problems (I'm using Antz ROM at the moment). I think they are both related...it's as though the ohone itself is crashing and WM5 cannot talk to it, which would explain the lack of driver version numbers on the reset. I had both after messing around with flight mode. It took a power down, wait 15 sec, then soft-reset to get me going.
I suspect it may be something to do with activating flightmode while wireless is on, but that is a complete guess.

Mmm, i think not, because i've discovered while wireless was off.
However i think that the worst problem is the sound playing when volume is 0...
Check those two:

I am using the 'standard' WM5 version, and this 'radio none' thing happens to me too when I remove the battery, so I guess it's WM5 related...
anyway soft resetting again works for me too
Hi there,
My wireless (wi-fi) on my TILT keeps automatically turning on after I do a soft reset. I turn the reboot the phone with wireless off, but when I reboot it, the wireless automatically turns on and starts looking for a connection.
This is depleting the electrons in my battery and is becoming very annoying.
Any ideas or solutions as to what may cause this and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance for the help.
it's one of the cabs you have installed, the comm manager if I'm not mistaken. I had that problem with one of installs as well. If you can't live with the comm mgr, learn to turn off wifi when you soft reset, otherwise wipe it clean and steer clear of crappy cabs. I'm sure there's a registry edit for it somewhere, but too lazy to dig.
Could you be more clear on this comms manager?
My phone seems to have it installed but i cannot uninstall it.. it came with the phone
I also notice my phone trying to connect to GPRS randomly with nothing set to update automatically etc
Its becoming a pain in the arse as i can cancel the connection 100 times and it will keep going and i have to power the phone off to stop it
I have the 6-button gray comm manager that lists Airplane Mode, Phone, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Beam, and 3G. All the buttons are horizontal.
How can the comm manager be causing the problem though...please elaborate.
Thanks again.
if all fails you can try this solution:

post #4, not really recommended but its a fix
i leave my wifi on all the time(default settings- off on standby)
and i get about 15 hours with low-medium usage
just updated to 6.1, hard reset, everything stock. this happened before the update too. basically, i hit the power button and it turns off, and 2 seconds later it turns back on, and will only stay off after it times out based on the power management settings. anyone know where to start looking?
Most likely it is a some piece of software that is causing the device to turn back on, have you tried performing a hard reset, and not installing anything to make sure that it's something in the rom?
yup. just did a hard reset with the 6.1 update, and its still the same. do you know of any registry entries i can edit to make it so it just doesn't wake up without the power button, no matter what software is calling it to?
I know it sound weird, but my Kaiser can't be switched off anymore:
The device is set to turn itself off after 1 minute on batteries.
(Would not switch off automatically.)
When I press the on/off switch nothing happens.
When I press and hold the on/off switch, a dialog comes on that informs that the device will be switched off and unsave information might get lost.
But the "busy icon" for minutes comes on and the Kaiser does not switch off.
Pressing the stylus into the reset hole resets the device, but the problem remains the same.
Any ideas?
Thank you very much in advance.
Thanks

PS: I tried to search the forum intensively but I can't bring up useful threads.
Solution found
Looks as if I found how to cure the problem myself:
Everything else but TomTom 7,450 seemed to work on the machine.
TomTom hang when I tried to start it.
And using TomTom was the last thing I did yesterday.
So I tried to uninstall it.
But the WM uninstall hang as well while trying to remove it.
A Reset would not help here either.
So I manually deleted all files in the Navigator Directory
and did a reset.
Ran uninstall again. Then reset.
And from now the device was back to normal as far as the
on/off button is concerned. (YEPP!)
Reinstalled TomTom and all is back to normal as far as I can see.
