After upgrading to official WM 6.1, no wireless connection - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

I've made a backup with REsco backup, then upgraded my Kaiser to WM 6.1 (italian) got from HTC club.
After flashing, i've restored the backup.
Now everything is ok but the wireless connection. My kaiser wont find any wireless anymore.
Do i have to go back to 6.0? Or i can flash another ROM, maybe a cooked one to get rid of my problem?
I'm fairly new to cooked roms, so i'm also asking to you wich one, of those developed in the forum, is the preferred with most features? I prefer italian ones, but i've no problem with english.
Thanks

try changing the channels. after updating to 6.1 (official, english)i had to change from channel 6 to 11 for his highness the kaiser to find my wireless network.
there could also be other reasons, but for me this helped

The problem is... that i can't find a way to change the channel. The Kaiser isn't finding any wifi network even outside my home, where i know there are dozens of wifi networks.
The signal stay at 0
The SSID, BSSID, TX speed, TX speed are emtpy. Mode = Infrastructure, Channel = 11
all textboxes are not editable

maybe this can help you...
but you need pocket rar to use it so install that as well

If the backup you made was from a Windows Mobile 6.0 installation then that's a problem. That backup should only be used to restore a 6.0 installation otherwise you get problems.
FWIW my WM 6.1 (stock) installation WiFi is working fine - it's GPS thats gone to the pack with this official HTC upgrade.
My suggestion is to do a hard reset, then configure your WiFi and get it working. Then install all your programs from their original cabs - testing after each one to make sure no one program breaks WiFi.

Internet Explore fix?

Maybe I am a bad searcher, or there isnt a thread for this:
Is there any kind of fix for wifi on a Kaiser? I can connect via Wifi (home or in a hot spot), but when I use internet explorer I get a error:
"Page cannot be found. Check the name and try again."
Everything works fine in G3.
I am using Dutty's Hybrid v2 w/ radio 1.65.20.29 on an at&t tilt 8925.
thanks
First make sure under your WiFi connection it is set to connect to "Work" NOT "the Internet". If it doesnt work after that set your main connection to My Work Network. Let me know if it still doesnt work.
Still wont work. Same issue reguardless if it is set to "work" or "the internet."
And you have your connection set to My Work Network right? Go into the proxy settings for it and make sure the option for "This network connects to the Internet" in NOT checked. If it still doesnt work I would try an new radio. Some radios have problems with the WiFi and will not allow it to function.
*Also note, the radio you are using for that ROM isn't 100% compatible as that ROM was made before the radio. I had that exact ROM/Radio combination and had some minor issues with it. The biggest problem I had was some voice calls people wouldnt be able to hear me very well, it would cut in and out on their side but I could hear them fine. Change the radio and it worked fine, use the same radio on this ROM I have sounds 2x clearer than it did before.*
Internet Explorer problem
I have upgraded my HTC ROM with WM6.1 official HTC ROM available on net, the problem is when I connect my HTC to Wifi available in my home and try to use explorer it stuck and I cannot browse any thing, then I have to reset the device.

I have the same problem. Upgraded to 6.1 too and after that it doesn't matter how I connect (wifi, EDGE, 3G, HDSPA) - the internet explorer will freeze the device, I can only view wap pages without problems. If the page is 12KB or more, than for sure, the whole device is frozen and only soft reset will save the day.
I have the same problem too!!!
Same problem here. I upgrade my tilt with L26_Kaiser_Diamond_V6 ROM, but before that, i was the same problem with WIFI connection in my house network. I can connect to my network but not the internet explorer not work!!
ROM : L26_Kaiser_Diamond_V6
Rom Version: 3.29.707.0 WWE
Radio Version: 1.65.20.29
Radio issue ?
I run the official HTC 6.1 French version.
I have the same issue.
I'll try to change the radio as mentioned by KDKobes.
I'll let U know.
Did you Hard Reset your device after Flashing?

I had exactly the same symptoms after flashing the HTC WM6.1 ROM, plus some others: random freezes, but the most annoying was the IE freeze, had to soft reset every time...
I fixed everything by doing a Hard reset: read my post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2292379&postcount=127
I hope this helps...
Osc
Hard Reset not solve the internet issue for me. I flashed my phone with diferrent Rom and still having the same problem. Also i try different radios like 1.65.20.29, 1.65.14.06, 1.58.25.17 without success, and HardSpl upgrade to 3.29. Any idea?
start, settings, connections tab, wifi, network adapter tab - select the IEEE 802.11b/g adapter and try that connected to work or internet.
Nop.... The same problem!!!!! Thanks for the tip.
It's been difficult, but it's solved for me
I first downgraded my radio to 1582620
As a result I had no sound for the entire day.
I just came back from work:
-reinstalled radio 1.65.20.29
-made a Hard reset
And now everything works correctly.
.....
Thanks, i will try it!!!!
Back to initial state
Hi,
After posting, I reinstalled my programs and applied Kaiser tweaks.
I am now in the same state as before: Wifi works well, but IE doesn't get any page and keeps saying it cannot get the page.
HHHHEEEELLLPPPP.
Possible solution
I desactivated HSPDA with KaiserTweak, soft reset: now it works.
another possibility ?
if you have your IE cache set to the SD Card ... that will cause freezing issue too !!
make sure it's cache to your internal and flushed it regularly
i found something
its a start.. im having the same problem too.. if you keep your kaiser sync'd the internet works..try and see if your results differ
I installed a new wireless router in my house, my wifi works like a champ now. Also my wifi has been working on hotspots around the area, really didnt try anything. Just working after I installed a new wireless in my house. hmm.
Hey
what security setting do you have for your new router?

Internet connection - USB/Bluetooth

Not sure how this has come about but I used to be able to connect to internet really easily through my work laptop when the TyTn II was connected by either Bluetooth or USB. Now I don't seem to be able to connect to either????
When connecting through USB I seem to be able to connect to the PC via 'Internet Sharing' which also lights up the 'Data Connection' icon but when I try to use IE it just says 'Cannot connect using current settings'. Thing is, I haven't changed anything and it used to work fine. Getting a bit fed up with the whole TyTn II at moment as I seem to spend more time fathoming why it's not doing what I want than doing it. Beginning to think a seperate phone/PDA may be best way ahead.
Unsure of whether the problem is related to the official 6.1 upgrade or the install of NoData (as I got fed up with accidentally hitting the weather and Quick GPS refresh and having the phone eat money).
Regardless of what I try I can't seem to get it to connect to internet albeit phone shows as connected via both Bluetooth or USB.
Short of solving this (and I'm not sure where to start) I'm temted to do a reflash and leave out things like No Data etc etc and just see if it works again. Bit of a nuisance really.
Tried searching all manner of related topics but no joy so far
It is a problem with the WM 6.1 official HTC update
I had exactly the same problem in reverse with my TyTN II when it was running the WM 6.1 (the same official HTC ROM that you have). By 'in reverse' I mean I couldn't initially do internet related things on the TyTN II using my home internet (either via USB or Bluetooth connection). It was fine before but after the upgrade thats when the problem occurred. I didn't have any additional software installed apart from Tomtom Navigator 6.032 (HTC Version) so I don't think your NoData install will be to blame (at least not solely). I did manage to get pocket IE working under these circumstances though after I had a fiddle around in the connections tab under settings - or was it Activesyncs settings.... I could never get the automatic Quick GPS updates to occur though, even under those settings and I still had to manually update (although it did use the home internet connection when I did this).
I remember that I changed a drop down selection from something along the lines of this device is connected to 'Auto' to make it 'The Internet'. Sorry for being so vague but I've now reverted to the original WM 6.0 ROM (more precisely I had HTC do it for free under the warranty) and none of the options I'm looking at now ring any bells. Perhaps someone else recalls more clearly what settings change is required.
I think the most important part of your post is:

Thats how I felt about the HTC upgrade that wasn't. I was quick to go down the upgrade path but since it's been back with WM 6.0 other than a few uncommanded resets in the first day or two which haven't since reoccured, the device is now rock solid again. Of course it'd be nice to think the latest HTC upgrade didn't introduce more problems than were already present but in my experience their current update is more trouble than it's worth (and you haven't even mentioned GPS). If you decide you want it reverted under warranty, I found the HTC Repair Centre (at least here in the UK) to do a fine job of it. I dropped off my phone in the morning, after booking it in over ther phone the day before and it was ready at the end of the same day.

Or you can always download the original shipped roms here off the wiki and flash it yourself. It only takes about 10 minutes. You dont have to download a special SPL for an OEM rom

The spl is an issue - reverting it

I was tempted to do that myself (and even asked HTC for the downgrade file to do so) but there are a couple of issues for those of us that like to keep things 'HTC Official'. A big one for me is that since HTC was responsible for creating the buggy WM 6.1 ROM, they should also accept responsibility for fixing it (fat chance of that, I agree with what -888- wrote in the WM 6.0 vs. WM 6.1 thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432482&page=4 along the lines of the best developers being assigned to the latest and greatest products). If they're not going to fix it, then they should at least revert the device to a reliable state. I was in a fortunate position to be in the area of the HTC Repair Centre but if it means sending the phone away, I understand why some might prefer the DIY option.

There's alot to digest about ROM (and Radio and spl) flashing in the wiki and that takes much more than 10 mins. Although a special spl such as hardSPL isn't used with the HTC official setups, the spl does need to be reverted from the 3.28 version with the official WM 6.1 WWE, back to a 1.xx version with WM 6.0 for proper functioning. That isn't just a simple case of running the RUU program like the upgrade to WM 6.1 was - it has to be manually reverted (presumably using something like jumpSPL and the procedure in the wiki for restoring a device for warranty purposes) so it gets more complicated. I was expecting spl version something along the lines of 1.56 on my WM 6.0 setup (to match the ROM numbers) but they installed 1.93, presumably because it was more reliable or offered other performance benifits. Perhaps the ideal spl is in the package already but again this cant just be run like the WM 6.1 upgrade was so there's some jiggery pokery involved
I tend to agree. Not sure why I really bothered with 6.1. One of the first things I did was use Kaiser Tweaks to turn threaded SMS off.
I didn't realise that reverting to WM 6.0 would require more than reflashing so that makes it a little more problematic. I'm not near a HTC Centre. The whole device certainly seems more buggy under 6.1 than it did before and this internet through laptop problem is a nuisance. Being fairly unimpressed with Co-Pilot I don't use GPS that much and, withe the aside that i think I've used the keyboard twice since I had it (another 'essential' I'd put on my list for phone/PDA attributes), I'm beginning to wonder if return to factor state and sell it might not be the better option, reverting to a Nokia E51 and Ipaq 214 Enterprise combination
Post is an option.

Of course it's up to you but don't forget that even though you may not be near a HTC Repair Centre, you could still call them up on the phone to make the booking and post the device to them once you've arranged to have it reverted. They should do it for free but confirm this so you don't get any unpleasant surprises.

Internal GPS

I have WM 6.1 Pro and tomtom navigator 6. I want to ask that is there any way i can make my built-in gps search faster for the satteline beside using quickgps? thank you
What exact ROM are you using? Early WM6.1 ROMs (those ported form other devices, before the official one came) had very long times to first fix (several minutes).
The current ones have normal times of about 30 seconds.
It's WM 6.1 Pro
CE OS 5.2 19214
I dont know if it is a current one or the one was ported.How do i know? i bought it as used

Is 'it' a HTC TyTN II, AT&T Tilt, Vodafone v1615, O2 XDA Stellar etc? If you bought it used, the previous owner may have changed the ROM or Radio/SPL through a process known as flashing. Does it all appear the same as whats shown in your manual for the device (or if you don't have the hardcopy, what is shown on the downloadable manual from the device provider)?
Check out the XDA-wiki pages if you're new to your device, it'll answer lots of questions you may otherwise be tempted to ask here needlessly. Newer WM 6.1 versions of HTC TyTN II ROMs (including the very latest UK released World Wide English - WWE one) have terrible GPS times to get a satellite lock when compared to the original WM 6.0 ROMs so if GPS functioning is important, for the mean-time until the ROM is fixed, you may want to have it reverted to an older ROM that works faster.
I never used to have problems then I sent my phone back for repair and they updated me to WM 6.1 which was the start of my GPS problems.
Anyway I've just set the external GPS to 9600 as suggest by CHfish and hey presto back to a fast fix. Don't set anything else on the external GPS as this can really bugger up your internal GPS.

Phone functionality died this morning

I've had my Tilt running pretty smoothly on the stock firmware since I bought it over the summer (camera stopped working, but that's a different story). Anyway, I did a backup this morning (SPB Backup), and after the reboot I couldn't get a voice signal. If I pushed the phone button, nothing would happen! Now here's the weird thing: I'm able to get a data connection (was able to get new email), but the phone icon still says no service. Has anybody experienced this before, or know of any fixes? I've soft-booted a few times, but didn't want to hard boot if there was a simpler way.
And yes I did search this entire forum for similar posts, but didn't find any.
Thanks in advance!
have you tried a different SIM from a different operator?
you might want to try a different SIM from a different operator just to be sure your SIM and/or operator is not the problem.
if it works with another SIM, you can be fairly certain that it is NOT a hardware issue...in which case, a hard reset will more than likely resolve your problem.
also, are you able to receive incoming calls? what kind of a message does the caller get in case your phone doesn't even wake up and ring? finally, have you tested sms text messaging? try sending a message to someone and also try to receive an sms text message from someone...these little steps will help you confirm whether or not you are experiencing a hardware issue...in which case you might want to consider having it checked/fixed under warranty.
keep searching...cheers !!!
Happened to me once. I tried everything, but didn't work. If it's under warranty, AT&T will replace it. I went through 3 units in the 11 months I owned tilt.
hmmm have you tried flashing another Radio? (don't know what happened to your camera, but if you've got cam & phone issues, it's worth checking the Radio...
It's happened to me twicw also. This is an SPB Backup quirk. I'm afraid a hard reset is all that's left to do.
Well,
first of check if you're connecting to the correct network AT&T and not accidently logged on to the T-Mobile network - perform a manual network search / selection on your device.
If the above step does not help, try to restore your device with the SPB Backup you made. If that also does not work, well, then ... yeah ... hard reset! I would not really consider a RADIO FLASH on your device since it semmed to be working fine for you before that?
Thanks for everyone's suggestions. I tried doing a full restore of the latest backup (that morning), and that seemed to bring back the phone functionality. However, the restore also eliminated a few of my main programs, which was very weird! So, I did a full restore from the previous backup and tested that one out. Everything was like it should be. Then I did a restore of the latest backup's tasks/appointments (only things that changed), and now I'm back to full operation
As a side question, since I'm running WM 6.0 and want to flash to 6.1, would I be able to do a full restore from SPB Backup... or would that be incompatible with the upgraded OS?
You won't be able to perform a FULL RESTORE. There are a couple of changes in WM6.1, so, just to be on the save side I would suggest that you back up your PIM data, then flash to 6.1, restore your PIM data and reinstall all of your application.
BTW:
I was running WM6.1 on my MWg Zinc II and couldn't find any real advantages other than THREADED SMS. The Pocket IE gets a whole bunch of new bugs (for example Frames in websites are not shown or not shown correctly) and experienced a couple of incompatibilities with 3rd-party software application. If you still want to take a chance, good luck! However, I do not believe that you can go back to WM6.0 once you flash to 6.1!
I wouldn't upgrade to 6.1 if you're running SPB software. I was running 6.1 without problems, then loaded SPB Phone Suite, Diary, and Pocket Plus, and suddenly Garmin XT couldn't locate satellites at all. It took several hard and soft resets, and a visit to the SPB forums to realize that 6.1 could be the culprit, and it was. All problems disappeared with 6.0. There was a post at the SPB forums that *seemed* to indicate that SPB apps hadn't been fully tested--they may have used the word "certified"--with 6.1. Good luck.
No, that's not it -- I'm running the latest versions of all of those SPB titles on a stock 6.1 with no problems.
i have no spb apps on this one and i have the problem...it just can't fix the network
it happened few days ago to a guy that isn't quite familiar with ppcs he somehow turned it off and when he turned it on he couldn't get the network...eventually he hooked up after half a day (i'm not sure for how long did this problem last because i don't know does he use soft reset and flight mode)...so i took the kaiser to test it and to see what happened..i messed with flight mode and SR it couldn't find the net at all
tried wm6 and two wm6 radios
tried wm6.1 and two wm6.1 radios
i'll try android...just to test the module itself..if there are any hardware issues

After flashing data connection cannot be established

Hi there,
I tried now several ROMs (amazing what some of you guys are doing here!!) but experienced an awkward problem: some ROMs (which I flash through my PC) are working properly but won't let the phone establish a data connection, although the phone setup recognizes my provider and installs are provider credentials. What can be the reason for that? What is puzzling me is the fact, that this is the case only with some ROMs - any advice?
My second question would be in regards to a ROM I am looking for: of course everyone has his own favourite, but which one would you recommend with the following features: stability & speed, no funky skin/animations necessary, Winmo 6.5 or 6.1, German language (at least keyboard)
Thanks!!
