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.

same here.. any news?...

Did you set your battery for best performance in the wifi configuration? If not, try it and see if it works then

Yes.. the wifi is not working ,... the same for the gps...

Mines the same. Done a soft reset - nothing. Done a hard reset and all seems fine for the mo.
Got my phone from orange.

hard reset u mean erase all and start like new?
with this hard reset.. the same problem... any other option??

No Wify

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

Comm Manager problem

I installed the Advanced Config application a while ago (V2), was looking through it today and decided to add the 3G option to the comm manager and remove the MS push thing, when I saved those my comm manager seems a bit screwed up now no matter what settings I use in the AC application. Can someone advise how to get it back to the defaults.
Thanks

Hard Reset. We do it every day over here!

Before you hard reset try this .cab.....running fine here....

Thanks, that worked.
What does the Beam setting do? On older PPC's it was the InfraRed, but it doesn't seem to do anything to BlueTooth...

Says it right there in the link I posted.....
"Beam = Turn Beam ON/OFF
When On = your phone can receive files (Via BT) --> also more battery consuming when on.
When Off = Your Phone Can't."

Bluetooth And Wifi Problem!!

hi there i have had my diamond for about a month and now i cant turn on either my bluetooth or wi-fi.
when i click on the bluetooth on in comms manager it just has that annoying windows wheel and never turns on, and the same applies when i go through the main menu and wi-fi. this is very annoying as it did work beforehand and i am not happy.
p.s. when i search for new devices, it comes up with error message 'problem with bluetooth hardware'
any ideas?

Comms error...
You have a problem with your bluetooth hardware! That cannot be fixed by anybody here... return your device and get it repaired under warranty... that's assuming you haven't flashed it with a dodgy ROM!!

all i've done is put the manila theme on it to make the touchflo3d theme black instead of that t-mobile pink

Why all WM6.5 ROM Autoconnect to the Internet Service

Hi,
My blackstone connect to the internet service automatically draining my prepaid load.
Is this the same in all the WM 6.5?
WM6.1 doesnt do this. It only connects when I need it.
Does anyone have a fix on this. No push internet doesnt seem to solve this problem in my HTC BS.
Thanks

I found the problem finally.
Go to Setting -> Data Services -> Time Synchronization.
Just uncheck everything there.

Because that was not the root cause ...
Actually the cause of the so called problem is a lack of understanding of the basic WM and HTC data connection settings and more specifically the way the two operate together, or don't in this case. In fact there really is no problem and nothing specific to the WM6.5 ROMs. This auto data connection behavior existed in my stock WM6.1 ROM way back in the dim old days.
Let me try to explain it this way.
First thing to understand is that there are two controls for Data Connection. A HTC TF3D/Sense one which everyone knows as Comm Manager. The second deeper level one is the WM6.X one which you will find at Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > Select Networks > Your Cellular Operator Settings (GPRS Settings).
The second thing to understand is that when you do a hard reset as you must when you flash a ROM, the Auto Connection Setup process will automatically select for you and set the GPRS settings on by default. So, deep down there, WM6.x has set you up to use a data connection automatically whenever your mobile needs a data connection and your WiFi is disabled. This happens for example if your email is set to auto download every so many minutes. Remember, email is a WM6.X service.
The third thing to understand is that the HTC Comm Manager really only controls data connections from the HTC interface, ie. TF3D/Sense. For example, if you do a weather update, this is a TF3D/Sense service. So if you turn off Data Connection in Comm Manager it will just turn off data connections to the interface. But lets say your email does an auto send and receive, because the WM6.X GPRS setting is enabled, a data connection will take place regardless of what you did in the Comm Manager.
So how to get around this problem? Easy! Go to the WM6.X setting for Connections that I pointed out above. After entering 'Select Networks' use the drop down box to select 'My Work Network' in the upper setting for programs that automatically connect to the internet. This will totally disable your data connection and it will not turn on again until you do the reverse.
Now, to turn data back on, you don't need to go into WM settings. You will find that the Comm Manager is sort of connected to the WM6.X setting. Turn on Data Connection in Comm Manager and you will find that it brings up the WM6.X Connections settings so that you can go to the drop down box and re-enable your Cellular operator's settings for GPRS. After clicking OK a few times you will end up back at Comm Manager where you turn on Data Connections. If you skip this last step, it will turn on automatically anyway when a program calls for a data connection.
Now the quirk is that Comm Manager is not connected to the WM6.x settings in the same way when you want to turn Data Connection off in Comm Manager. In other words it does not take you back to the WM connection settings when you turn it off as it does when you turn it on. As I showed you above, you have to do it the long winded way and dig deep into WM6.x Connection settings to turn off your cellular data connection. Yes sure, Comm Manager could definitely have been better built in this regards. But it has been like this since day 1.
Programs such as NoData which some chefs cook into their ROMs provide shortcuts to reach those deep WM Connections settings. But frankly, once you know where to find the settings, it becomes second nature and I have never had the need to use NoData.
Anyway, hope this helps.

i loved yr explanation but: i had never this "problem" in WM6.1 even when i always kept the "programs that automatically connect to the Internet......" settings to "orange 3G" (my portal) and only the "programs that automatically connect to a private network..." on "My Work Network".
after 5-6 years of heavy WM use (look at my sig/list of devices) this is the first time i encounter this problem.

I think Clicking on a Nodata shortcut would be much faster than going through all those steps. I hope a solution is found soon. But all ROMs I have tried have this same problem. no mail accounts setup nothing. It still try's to connect.

Turn off my location settings. Also check if "automatically update weather" is turned off.
Did the trick for me on all 6.5 ROM's.

Workaround:
1. Before flashing any Rom, remove the Sim card.
2. After flashing, uncheck "Enable Auto Configuration" from connection setup.
3. Put Sim card back and have a peace of mind.

Heh ... if you did it this way you won't have any MMS (unless you put it in manually) or Data connection when you want to turn it on.

Yep ... NoData is a solution.
I kind of grew into the habit of drilling down for the GPRS setting from the days when ROMs were not cooked with NoData or equivalents. Problem with these shortcuts is that for some it meant that the basic WM settings were never learnt, so when something goes wrong or a chef does not cook it in, the user gets lost. This is the same problem with the MMS connection issue in M2.5. The cause of the problem here, from my own experience, is with the updated WM Connections Auto Config putting in the wrong MMS access point settings. So when that happens, those who never learnt how to do it manually in WM get stuck.

This does not work for me. I have tried any of the turn off methods and nothing has worked. Going to try what abwyatt has suggested and see if this helps. To me this is a real big problem for some people. Even for me I have a 20 hr data plan for 1 month for about 7.00 USD after that it charges by the mb. Just last night on my last flash I was tired and forgot to enable nodata and woke up this morning and the data connection had been active for 9 hrs.

I would differ on that. It is directly related to problems with WM 6.5 ROM's. And not only as users but as cooks we are looking for answers as well. Moving to General section just assures the problem will not be addressed by our cooks here that may find a solution.
Just my opinion

Point taken and I agree with your comments above. To to show users that we Mod's do listen as well, I will happily move this thread back to rom development

Thank you, and it's good that you see both sides.

I disabled mine from Settings>Data Services>ActiveSync>Sync data automatically
Now I only get auto connected after soft reset, then just disable from Comm Manager>Data Connection>Off and it doesn't connect by itself anymore
But still works when needed for weather mail etc.

Just to put my 2 cents on the table here. All wm6.5 roms I've tried have had this and I generally install NoData for quick fix, but after a period of time it started to bug me. So upon further investigation it did turn out to be an app seeking automatic update, whether it was email, QuickGPS, weather, stock, facebook, activesync or some other app. Having gone through all these apps or whatever apps installed on rom and then disabling them, the problem seizes to exist. The confusing thing is that it is not consistent, i.e. with different rom's it appears to be a different app which caused the issue!!

I've tried ROM like PhamQhuang, MaryOne etc. I think the problem is from HTC sense, if we switch to HTC sense off or set to windows default the auto connection working well (not reconnect when we off data connection)

Where Can i Find This ? Is it in some registry...?

whenever i have a problem with the buttons in comm manager, i always use advanced config to remove the button causing problem, reseting the device, then adding the button back in and doing another reset. that usually solves it for me.
