Hi,
I just upgraded to 1.40 rom and noticed that once I turn off wireless from the wireless manager, i can;t turn wireless back on until I reset the device. Is anyone else having this issue?
Thanks,
Skumky
Yes and no.
I've experienced the same problem, but I've also had it with 1.12, 1.22, 1.31 and 1.33 too so I'd comfortably say it's not specifically related to 1.40.
I've also had this problem with the following radios: 1.02, 1.06.02, 1.08, 1.10 and 1.12. (I like to upgrade hehe)
Sorry that wasn't much help, but really just trying to say I think it's more a bug with the operating system itself and not a specific version. Perhaps combination of software affects it and thus you've never had it before. I don't know :-(
I have also upgraded to 1.40 and the wi-fo worls perfectly. I dont face your issue.

No problems to report here about the WiFi-module. Works fine. Is it related to the security-level that you run on your WiFi-network? I use an 64-bit WEP-encrypted protocol, and leech on open networks , so more then 64-bit it won't get. Maybe an increased security-protocol causes the system to hang?
No problems here. I did have that problem in an earlier rom combination however.

I had the same problem, so I ran the WLANPatch.CAB from the Cingular update. This cured the problem, so I put it in my extended ROM and did hard reset but the problem came back. As a temporary solution I just rerun WLANPatch.CAB after Hard Reset and no problems so far..
I have that problem all the time. When my wireless manager reads "not connected to network" before I turn it on, it usually works, but after I've turned it on and off again it says "wireless off" instead, and then there's often no way to get it to work again.
I have a feeling this is caused by Omega One Battery Pack's custom "ok" button - I guess it closes the app in an incorrect way. What I usually do is tapping Start->Today instead of "ok" to exit the wireless manager after I've turned wireless on or off. This seems to solve the problem most of the time.
same problem here as well. Was trying for the last hour to turn wifi on, no go. Did a soft reset and wifi was already enabled when it startled back up. This has happened to me with previous roms as well. Guess its a "feature" of the phone.
SBP Pocket Plus will cause this also (customized close)
Has anyone tried my suggestion? Make a habit of just tapping "start :arrow: today" instead of "ok" each time you use the wireless manager and the problem should occur a lot less. If it does occur, the only way out seems to be a soft reset.
Also, does anyone know of a more structural way of actually solving the problem instead of working around it like I do?
Yeah. Don't turn it off!
Don't Turn it Off..
The only problem with that is that when you drive down the road, it tries to connect to everyone's wireless network and keeps popping up those ' Do you want to connect to John's' network' boxes...
Exactly! That's the fun part! And around 70 % of those networks, at least here in Norway, are totally unprotected! :twisted:
Ah!... so now I understand what "free internet" means in those Norweigen commercials :wink:
Hello,
My T-Mobile MDA Vario spoke Dutch which was very unformortable so I unlocked it and installed the Qtek ROM. Installation was fine.
However, it kept on being confused about the state of the "flight mode"; either I could make phone calls even though the icon said it was not connected to the network (aerial with X) or it did not want to connect to GPRS even though it was on the T-Mobile network
Otherwise it all worked fine.
In an attempt to get rid of this annoying behaviour I installed the K-Jam ROM found on the FTP server of this website. Installation was fine again, however now the device soft resets itself all the time and does not always want to turn on when I push the button on top. The soft reset frequency is very unpredictable, and turning phone on or off does not really make a difference.
Any clue?
Many thanks in advance
Manhattan.
It looks like the reset problem is solved after installing an updated i-mate ROM that resides in the upload section of this site's FTP. It seems to me it has only an updated extended rom part, perhaps someone has figured out what's the difference?
thanks
manhattan
what's the filename? i couldn't find it...
K-JAM_WWE_1010903_106_10110_ship.exe
i new to this whole pocket pc thing, and i found this site and started upgrading my t-mobile mda. first i upgraded the rom to the k-jam upgrade and everything worked fine. then i started messing with the registry with registry wizard. that was fine also. but as soon as i hit the edge icon tweak, i can no longer connect to gprs. i get a msg saying
"Cannot connect. make sure your phone is turned on, or tap settings to check your connection settings. "
can anyone help me. i didnt alter the settings from when it was working so im unsure of what the problem is. any help is greatly appreciated
sounds like ou ahve been doing a fair amount of tweaking. Even in the registry. Are you sure it was the Edge icon tweak that did it as my Cingular 8125 is running 2.16.9.1WWE and I have made that change and mine works fine. My wonder is if one of the previous changes didn't take affect until a reload or a new program load, and that is what actually caused the problem. I loaded some cingular cabs yesterday and it broke activesync.

yah i know. but even after i restored my original registry settings i still cannot connect. when i try to connect, the window that shows gprs is trying to connect flashes 2x then it reads the msg i posted. any ideas
none here... I hope someone else can help, or you can hard reset and try to do the changes slowly soft reset a couple of times after each change until you figure out which one cased it. Each change including installed programs.
Sorry
mine does the same thing and I have been able to get it to connect without reset. Tap your signal bar on screen and turn on flight mode than turn off it will reset connections. It happens after every sync or charge for me and once we are able to unlock the cid and install the cing ext rom it might go away.
i actually just got rid of the program and it works now
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
My kaiser phone has standart rom, win 6,1. It is laging all the time from the day I bought it. My memory card is almost empty. I read a lot in this forum, but nowhere found the solving to my problem.
I am thinking, maybe it lags because of my connection, sometimes it is 3G, sometimes EDGE. If any one knows where the problem is and how to solve it, THANK YOU.
Is the actual phone lagging, or just your connection speed?
Trying a different ROM is a good idea, you will find one that is certainly faster and more capabile than your stock ROM.
everything is lagging. I have to click some times, or even wait for about 5-10 seconds or more, until phone reacts.
Reflash your current ROM or grab a new one (how to's are in the ROM dev section), something must have happened in the registry or something that is bogging it down.
Tried a hard reset? Solves all manner of problems.
thank you guys, I will try hard reset and maybe then will flash my rom

Maybe you sold your Kaiser. I have the same problem: orig. wm6.0, orig wm6.1, Tir 18 and others, tried different radio and hardspl. But the lag is often there, not ever but often. I can't say why, I think it's related to the gsm signal: try to work putting the phone functions off (airplane mode) and play bubble breaker....
wayting for Android porting.

I was having the same problem while i was using Windows Mobile 6.1 . Then i upgraded my ROM to 6.5 and this problem has almost disappeared. I have an observation that this thing happens while i am roaming at a low or no signal point. Finally Windows Mobile 6.5 proved to be the remedy for me.
Use task manager and kill all the programs that are running. Many times when my Tilt (WM 6.1) is lagging there are 8 to 10 programs active. In IE, clear the history and hit the delete files button, this usually clears a lot of memory. Make sure that you have plenty of free "Program" memory, install non essential programs to the microSD card to free up some space. My Tilt usually runs quick just by making sure to check these things every now and then and it is the stock rom.
I also use Raiisak's KaiserTweak, increased my cache file size for faster ops plus many other tidbits, HTC Home Customizer by emunutz, FdcSoft TaskManager a really good one with regedit, HTC Classaction 3d drivers, EXT mod for File explorer, etc. Just another route you can go if you don't feel like flashing.
