My wifi works as a charm connecting to my home router and most networks.
Some networks, however, disconnect me after ive been connected a few minutes and after that, I cannot reconnect to the same network without performing a soft-reset.
Signal is full strenght and the networks with issues are open networks without any passkey or such, i.e., they require only that you enter a login and password at a login webpage. These are "hot-spot" networks so to say, such that usually exist at airports, hotels or as in my case, the university.
Ive been searching this forum 10 times and read perhaps just as many threads about different wifi issues. Power consumtion is set at "best performance".
What happens is the following:
-After a soft reset, the kaiser connects me to the correct netowork and says "connected".
-I login at the webpage
-Start surfing for a while. And after a few minutes, I am disconnected.
-When trying to reconnect, it says "connecting" and then jumps over to "availible", where the phone immediately tries to connect to another network.
My thoughts about the problem:
1.) It is not the networks fault as I can connect to it after a soft-reset.
2.) I believe that it is something ugly written in the registry or in some sort of cache, which is cleaned after a soft-reset but prevents me to reconnect to the network without resetting.
3.) Ive been talking to the support here at univ. but they claim it is the phone since no one else (10 000 student and employees) has a problem such as I
4.) Same problem with a.) original rom b.) Duttys V3 c.) Duttys v4.
5.) I have tried altering : 3g, active sync, hspda, bluetooth, work/internet, power settings..
In some threads I read that other people have similar problems but in those threads, the problem never seem to have been resolved and the threads seem to be "washed away" over time (people not caring / giving up?..)
I would appreciate your help or even thoughts

bump! Come on now... someone has an answer.
Does it happen when you delete the offending connection and re-setting it up again?
I had the same problem before with a wifi connection on one of my local coffee shops. It'll connect for a few minutes, will say its connected and a few mins later it'll disconnect. After i deleted the connection under my "Wifi settings" and going through the setup, it works like a charm.
the same happends to me at home with my Buffalo WRZ2-G300N, and at many hotspots... i can't find any solution.

If by, deleting the connection, you mean deleting the settings for the offending connection, then unfortunately yes, I have tried that.
Thank you for the hint though!
Ok - I'm experiencing the exact same problem. I can connect fine to my home router - using a WEP key, however, when I connect to my university network via wifi - it connects (after a soft reset) works for a short amount of time and then stops. Only a soft-reset works.
At uni i have downloaded the SecureW2 SecureW2 Open Source EAP-TTLS client for Windows mobile as this is what my uni network requires - are you using something like this ?
As a first step, I am going to use my network sniffer to check the traffic and see whether the connection is dying over the air.
I think we might need to pool all our info on this one - as it's a really annoying problem that must be happening to alot of people.

It is great (sort of ) to see more people with the same problem. Which radio are you on? I have never changed mine, which is 1.27.12.32.
I'm on Radio version 1.27.12.29... I'm going to run some tests at uni tommorow to see what I can come up with.
these are my versions:
CE OS 5.2.1620 (build 18125.0.4.2)
ROM: 1.56.405.5
ROM Date: 8/28/07
Radio: 1.27.12.11
Protocol Version: 22.45.88.07H
All,
I can confirm that I am having the same issues with the German HTC stock ROM.
This device has so many bugs that it is hard to believe.
Regards
GZ
Spent some time looking at the problem yesterday - can someone please try out the following;
Set Kaiser/TyTnII so that it stays on all the time (no sleep or power options set), reset the device and let it connect to the AP - leave it 'connected' for approximimately 10 minutes, open IE and see whether you can browse internet - and if you can - for exactly how long before the session hangs?
Do the exact same thing as above (soft-reset) only start IE just after the device connects to the AP and time exactly how long before it hangs.
With both these tests its very important that the machine does not go to sleep or standby etc...
I've dragged out my old Hermes which I am taking in to uni to test with on Monday along with my TyTnII.
Final question, can anyone who has this issue please post;
Device Name (I presume a TyTnII)
Radio Version
OS Build
Access Point Brand/Model
Exact Security used to connect with (WEP/WPA etc...)

Hi everyone,
I got my new Kaiser (AT&T Tilt) last week, unlocked of course, and I have reformatted it yesterday, and since then, I am unable to get Wifi to connect to any network! The device shows me the available network and everything, but it says it's connecting to them and then it just says they're available
Any solutions? Suggestions?

same here.... but no solutions yet....
What ROMS/Radios are you using?
Actually, a solution that would work is to power cycle the device (remove the battery for a few mins out of the device, put it back in, and run again) however, I am not sure about this solution as it may be a temporary one!
The ROM I have is:
1.57.502.2
Radio:
1.27.12.11
Any suggestions on the ROM/Radio?
-W.
just a suggestion of what works for me.......my POS router, i can only connect to it if the wifi power mode on the kaiser is set to best performance. same sh*t with the wizard and the hermes. i seriously should get a new router
i had the same issue. But today i triedd q-mobile rom, which has a different radio than before. It works now. I am finally connected to my router. I have a Tilt as well.
I've noticed variations in performance and willingness to connect to APs depending on the Radio version. On 1.27.12.32 it would sometimes connect, other times not - and take a long time! On 12.17 it connects pretty quickly to most APs. If it doesn't, I turn Wifi off, then on.
Actually, It used to connect to the same network (probably different AP) with no problems at all!
I encountered the same issue today, and even after a powercycle the same thing happened..

I had the same problems you guys had. tried to connect then would say available.
i took your advice. first i tried to install the radio that comes with the q-mobile. i couldnt install it to my phone, the screen would black out.
next i went ahead and installed the latest version of q mobile. now it works. and btw q mobile is one fast freaking rom! the screen goes from landscape to portrait in a flash!
thanks!
Mine abruptly started not connecting to any network as well. I'll try the powercycle idea. I have the AT&T standard ROM.

So if I powercycle it it works, except that when I try and connect to what wifi it works for a minute or so and then causes the same problems.

Hmm, sounds like the same problem I was having. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366526
Not really a fix but a better workaround than having to reboot all of the time.
Wifi Problems with TyTn II
I have a HTC TyTn II and i have some problems with "wlan".
I cannot connect with my router.
I tried it even withouth a security key but it says connecting and for the rest nothing happens.
Ive resetted my router to default settings so everything is open but still i cannot connect my phone to the router.
My router brand is:SMCWBR14S-N2.
Details of my Phone:
Rom version: 1.56.404.6
Rom date: 08/28/07
Radio Version: 1.27.12.32
I hope you guys can help me, Thnx
Hi,SMCWBR14S n2 router the same problem for me but when i turn it to 802.b it works.
I think there is something in the mixed mode what the pda dont respect.
I have a similar problem, but with a twist.
When I'm at my parents, I can connect to their BT Homehub Wifi with no problems at all, even on power-saving wifi mode.
At my house, I have a Siemens Wifi router (from Tiascali), and I cannot connect to this (says it is available, shows signal strength, but won't successfully connect) unless I turn off the encryption/security key.
The only difference between the two networks (apart from the names) is the BTHomehub uses 64bit WEP key and the Siemens uses WPA-PSK key (AES/TKIP not specified in router setup page). I can change the key method on the Siemens to 64bit WEP, but it still won't connect. My laptop connects without problems to both networks.
Is this a problem with encryption handling by the Kaiser?
ROM: Dutty's WM6.1 WWE 29/04/08
Radio: 1.65.14.06 (tried the other radio version of Dutty's rom with same results)
Chris
edit: verfarkas, that's something I haven't trued yet - I'll give it a go when I get home tonight. That would be a nice simple fix - by default, my Siemens router has the "b" (and other suffixes) chosen automatically.
Change to best performance
I was having all of the above problems until I set my power save mode to "Best Performance". Go to settings -> Connections -> Wireless LAN
My Kaiser went away for a repair to fix a faulty USB connection, the handset had never had an issue connecting to my wireless network (Belkin N1 running in mixed mode b/g/n)
Now the handset was not repaired but replaced with a graded handset, as hard as I try I can't connect to my network, I've been through all the settings and have tried all sorts of options on both the router and handset...but all to no avail...
Handset details:
ROM 1.56.405.5
ROM Date: 8/28/07
Radio Version: 1.27.12.32
Protocol Version: 22.45.88.07H
My question, could my handset issue be resolved by loading a CAB to fix the Wi-Fi Network issue or possibly a ROM upgrade (non cooked if possible) or is it likely to be a genuine hardware fault and require the replacement of the handset...again.
I started a thread over on MoDaCo with some good advice coming back mostly to do with the router settings, I thought a post on this forum may bring out a few Kaiser hardware/network experts....so feel free to offer advice

I've had a similar problem recently. After flashing a new ROM, I couldn't connect to the internet via wifi, even though my phone gets an IP address from my router. After flashing a bunch of different ROMs with no success, I found that I had to slide the wifi power setting from "Best Battery" to "Best Performance" and then I could ping my phone and connect to the internet.
I'm not sure what changed, perhaps I broke the internal antenna due to dropping the phone a couple times.

Cheers for the input Roto, I have ramped up the power settings and this makes no difference in my case, I'm pleased to confirm I've not dropped my phone yet so that shouldn't be an issue.
I don't really want to flash the whole ROM, just a possible CAB solution would suit me just fine.
Its pretty frustrating as I'm not in a 3G/HSDPA area at home, so wireless via my router is as good as it gets for me at home.
I have recently procured an HTC Diamond mobile and is facing the following problem:
I have a Linksys Router at home. When I switch on the Wi-Fi in my Diamond, it gets connected to the router. In the status, I can see the signal strength, Tx, Rx rate etc. But when I open the browser (both opera & IE), the web pages does not open. Error message stating check the url or does any other programme using the internet works? appears. Even my weather does not get updated. Using the same router, I am able to connect my laptop as well as my desktop to Internet.
When my diamond is synced using active sync, my mobile is able to connect to the Internet & Weather application also get updated.
Kindly help me to resolve this issue and make diamond connect to net using wi-fi.
Thank you in advance.
I have the same problem sometimes
I just changed parameter in settings -> connections -> wireless lan -> power mode -> "best performance" instead of "best battery" and it seems to work now.
I'm new to WM, so I don't know if it's a bug: when I don't use my phone I press the power button, or I wait it to go to "sleep mode" in 40s.
When I press power button to reactivate the screen, I can see in the first seconds that the wlan was disconnected and connects again.
So it seems that wifi is always disconnected when the phone is in sleep mode? That means no mails can be received ? Can anyone confirm?
Thanks
Hi there for both of you!
I had a connection problem with my Diamond at home. It was almost the same as tkak just I couldn't figure out whether ActiveSync connects or not. I managed to bypass this to set my routers DHCP timeout from 1 week to 3 hours and it all went away. The network status showed periodic connect/reconnect during the problem so it might be a different prob than yours.
Peio64:
WM6 keeps WiFi connection asleep during sleep mode. Imagine the battery usage if it was connected to WiFi all the time. So be happy with that and beside it is usable. WiFi automatically tries to connect to the closest hot-spot if it was connected before each time you switch on. Normally it shouldn't take more than 5-10 seconds and the whole process can be followed on the top bar.
Mails: Use DirectPush and GPRS connection and e-mails will arrive instantly. Google for setting this up. With Wifi I dunno - if you schedule ActiveSync for a periodic check whether your WiFi will be used or a new GPRS connection. I think GPRS can be used while the device is asleep but I'm not sure. Someone should test this. Probably whichever is quicker to build up a connection will be used for data transfer. (Note: on some forum I read that if you disable GPRS auto check with a tweak battery will last longer so I guess this means that GPRS is always connected.
Regs, Cina.
Does your diamond obtain an IP adress from your router, and is the connection setup as 'connects to internet'?

Thank you for your answer,
I had a SE P1i before, and wifi was connected all the time with push mail. With the diamond and its weaker battery, I set up my mails schedule to connect every 15 min so wifi only needs to be active every 15min, even in sleep mode, I don't want it to be connected all the time this is of course a battery waste.
HSDPA is connecting in sleep mode there's no problem with that, I just wish to use wifi for mails when I'm at home as my data plan is unlimited for web surfing but only 10Mo/month for pop/imap connections.
BTW I don't use the "keylock" option, is it different from sleep mode in this case? I can't see the advantage of keylock versus sleep mode
I had an ETEN M600 for ages before and I found that for sync it always used GPRS even if WiFi was available. The cause for this was GPRS was available while device is asleep so it can start syncing immediately after wake up (does it needs to wake up for sync?). So you probably have to switch GPRS (HSDPA) off while you're at home.
Keylock is for locking hardware buttons and touchscreen while it is active. (You won't dial up anyone from your pocket). It has nothing to do with sleeping just if you set up the registry tweak the device get locked (Keylock software is started) if you press power to send it to sleep. (I've almost written "off" but it is obviously not true - you can switch it off with a long press on power = soft reset).
Hope this helped a bit.
Cina
Okay thank you, I checked and HSDPA is connecting every 15min in sleep mode even with wifi ON. If I switch data off I suppose nothing connects and no mail is received, which is I think it's a weird behaviour.
By the way, I have set my data connection to swich off 10 seconds after not being used, and it works perfectly and reconnects automatiquely when it needs to. But for the wifi I can find that option, it's stays connected all the time when I use the phone, even if I don't need to. Is it possible?
Maybe it's due to the fact that it's always checking if there are new networks? On Symbian UIQ3, you can pre-configure networks, give manually priorities for each networks (1.Wlan work, 2.Wlan home, 3.3G etc..) and for each application (web, mail, etc). When the phone connects it checks if the network "1" is available, if it's not it checks the network "2", and once it's connected it doesn't check anymore. Is there a WM6 advanced network tool like that?
(Sorry for my english)
I did the following and now it gets connected to the web:
I just changed parameter in settings -> connections -> wireless lan -> power mode -> "best performance" instead of "best battery".
I do not know why this needs to be done like this.
Thankyou all for resolving my problem
I'm experiencing problems connecting to my WL Router (DrayTek 2820n) using WiFi when the router is set to Auto instead of to a specific channel. I've noticed from some threads for other mobiles that people are exprience similar problems. Does anybody knows what is the story around which channels are supported on WiFi: 1-11, 1-12 or 1-13. My router is set to 13 by default. In addtion to that Diamond has problem to connect to some channels even in the 1-11 range. So how can I check, which channels are supported and for which region?
Edit: I did further testing and it became obvious that when using Auto channel selection on the router, Diamond wouldn't connect. When selecting manually any channel between 1-11 it works OK, but when selection channels 12-13 it stops working, which makes me believe that the Diamond doesn't have support for the channels for non-US regions.
Does anybody have any idea how to change wifi region to support 12-13 channels as well? So far I couldn't find anything on the net that would help me doing it. Is it possible that it might be WM 6.1 issue and not Diamond?
HI I am actually having a diffirent issue but still related to wi-fi. When my phone awakes from sleep, it promts me to connect to my wi-fi server at home, when it was already connected jus minutes before. I have to re-enter the pass phrase everytime it awakes from sleep. This does not seem normal as my 6.0 touch didnt do that.
Any takers on this?
For more channels, it depend of US version or EU version. You need to changer your firmware but the problem is that in France for Internet you use PPoA and Belgium PPoE and I do not know if in the US they use the same so you will probebly losse your ability to connect to the Internet. Having more channels is not interesting because you need a hope of 5 between channels ( ex : ch1 + 5 = ch 6 and ch6 + 5 = ch11) between ch1 and ch6 place a ch11 for avoiding interferances. In 802.11g that is a question of scheme.
Sorry for my poor English.
Problem connecting to home network wifi
Hi, i've been using diamond to connect to my wifi home network but since few days is not possible anymore even if nothing was changed in the settings of the router.
The phone recognize the network as available, i push connect, it comes connecting but instead of connecting to the netwok it goes back to available.
Password is correct and the setting are the same as few days ago.
Any idea which setting should be modified?
Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone,
I have one problem with my diamond. I disabled the "data transfer" with the improved comm manager. I usually use wifi when i'm home, however, i've seen that even though wifi is active, HSDPA connection is activated as well so i got charged, this sometimes happens when updating weather data or downloading emails.
Anyone with the same problem?
Yes - having he same problem.
I have WIFI at home and at work - so i want to use GPRS only when i am outside. never managed to do this - except when i kill GPRS fully - and even then Opera, the weather and push-mail wont work. :-(
WiFi Channels 12-13?
I need to bump up this issue again.
I can't find anywhere in this forum how would you change your WiFi channel range from US to EU (i.e. 1-11 to 1-13). My Diamond was purchased in Australia and I was hoping that the new SW upgrade would rectify that, but it looks to me that's not the case. Any idea if that can be done in registry?
Thanks.
Change Channel range from 1-11 to 1-13
***Bump***
Has anybody got any ideas how to increase the channel range from 1-11 to 1-13?
Hi, I am having a seperate problem from all that are listed. I have the linksys rangeplus router, and my Diamond wont even detect my network when it searches, yet my computer and PS3 do fine. Can anyone help me?
another problem...
Hi,
i have a problem with the wifi on my Diamond aswell..
I have a router at home which is encrypted. When I try to connect to it, I type the encryption key and it says Connected but i cant surf any pages. When i go back to wifi settings my home network switches between Not available and Connecting...
However, when i remove the encryption, everything seems to work fine. Since i dont want to treat my neighbors with free internet, does anyone have any tips for me?
(it is set to Best performance... +i'm sure i enter the right key...)
Thanx
The same over here... I found out, that some of cooked ROMs had this problem, but official worked. Before I couldn't connect via WPA2-PSK AES, all other encryptions worked. Until now... I tried to flash official ROM and RADIO, but it doesn't work anymore. I'm pretty sure it must be hardware problem. I need to send my Diamond to get fixed, but... The closest repair centre is in Prague (GSMobile)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!BUT BE AWARE!!!!!!!!!!!
I owned previously Qtek8310. After I send them my Qtek to replace the joystick, it came back with broken motherboard... This repeated 3 times and everytime they broke something else. I've got my Qtek8310 back as a total crap, destroyed and scratched... I called and send a claim to HTC Europe in London, but nothing happened since then. I don't believe them anymore. If you love your Diamond avoid to get it fixed in GSMobile!
I've tried several radios and none of them have fixed the problem. Even when I have full bars in an HSDPA area, the first time I connect using Facebook or Opera or try to update weather or check my email, the icon shows I'm connected but apparently I'm not because I'm unable to download data. If I disconnect and then reconnect, it works perfectly the second time. If I keep it connected, it continues to work without a hiccup. I only have the problem when I connect for the first time after a few hours of being disconnected. I don't leave it connected all the time because it torches my battery. This quirk seems weird to me. I hope somebody has experienced this and can help me fix it.
I'm on AT&T and have the Tilt.
I have had this problem in certain areas. Near Dulles, VA, Greenville, SC, and a few other semi-major towns. I have no clue why it does this. I usually end up turning off 3G and going GSM only. Then I don't have that issue. Granted I loose the high speed connection, but it just has so much trouble in those areas. I have even tried multiple radios to no avail.
proxy server
If you have ATT, you need to remove the hidden proxy after disconnecting your data connection, then start an internet accessing program. The cab can be found under your windows directory.
I'm really astonished that this is happening...and I can't figure out why. My neighbors just got a wireless router hooked up, and i get about 1 bars worth of signal at my house. It is an unsecured connection and my Kaiser keeps connecting to it whenever I turn on Wifi. It will no longer connect to my wifi network no matter what I do. I click on my network in wifi settings and hit 'connect' and then it connects to my neighbors again...I delete it, start over...and no matter what I do it always connects to it. It's obviously some sort of glitch...any ideas on how to fix without a hard reset which is what I'm about to do because it is so frustrating. Everything I use is wireless, and nothing else was affected...just my Kaiser. Anyone had this happen to them before?

get your own internet connection and stop stealing signal from your neighbors!.
On another note, try to set your connection instead of best battery try best performance settings>wifi>advanced>power(sorry dude, if these are not the correct names, but I'm on my touch 2 phone with WM 6.5 spanish rom ..)
I'm on stock AT&T Tilt Rom WM6.1 I've tried all settings available through the Windows UI. So it must be somewhere in the registry that I need to change. I can delete all networks and scan for new ones...two come up...mine, and the new (neighbors)...I've been connecting to mine automatically for years now....and even if I click connect on my network...after its all said and done with the logging in...it connects to the wrong one still...grrrrr
