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.
1.40 WIFI
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:
Hi guys and girls.
I finally plucked up courage to install WM5 and suprisingly, it worked like a charm! not one single problem
There is one cherry on the top that would be very nice if anyone can help.
On the today screen there is a nice little bluetooth icon in the bottom right hand corner; is there any way to get a wifi icon next to it instead if having to go into start > Settings > connections > WLAN to turn it on?
Appreciate any suggestions offered.
Cheers

can someone please send me the orginal wirelessmgr.exe file? i tried to load the wirelessmgr.exe from the universal and now i cant turn wireless on or off
Codiac, I have taken a hotkey (camera, I don't use that much anyway, but any key would do) and mapped that to WLAN_MAN. Works very nicely, but I hope there will be a fix for the dissappearing WLAN (and BT, even though that doesn't matter that much to me since I never turn off the unit when I'm using anything BT) in the near future.
I never thought of that works spot on now :lol:
Must remember in future to engage brain before fingers :?
Cheers Mastiff

I added the program into O2plus apps tab

Codiac... how did you get the bluetooth icon on the Today screen? I just upgraded to Mamaich's Patch 5 but I don't have a bluetooth icon
me too..i can't see the bt icon and sometimes i quicly need of it..how can i show it?
Read the Wiki about missing files, patches number 1: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_WM5_Patches_ChangeLog
This is wierd?!?
After I did the upgrade the nice little BT icon was on the today screen, never bothered with it because BT is useless. Read these posts and had a look to see if I could work out how it got there and it has dissapeared?!?
The only thing I can think of is that I accidentally uninstalled one of the patches downloaded from wiki.
ill try and get it back on and let you know how I did it
Cheers

OOPs, sorry should have read Mastiffs post properly first
Mastiff is right, you need to install ba_wm5_fix_v1
Cheers

Well I've installed the BA_wm5 patch, but still have wifi problems. On 2003 my BA used to turn on wifi every time i turned on the unit, great as i have wifi at home and at work, now it always defaults to off and I have to switch it on every time I've turned off my BA. It's driving me nuts as I use email via wifi at work all day. Is there any way to get the wifi always on? Please....?
That's what I've been *****in' about for more than a week now...
Surely there's a way to default wifi to on, here's hoping somebody works it out before i downgrade to 2003.
i douwngraded to wm2003se..wifi on wm5 don't work at all..dosn't connect on my AP (on wm2003se is very fast)..so..because i need it i'll wait a more stable version..perhaps backlight regolation will be fixed
Backlight regulation was fixed more than a week ago! And I don't really know why you have WiFi problems, I have only one problem, that it defaults to off.

The default to off is the problem. I use my BA for work only. At home I use my wifi network to access work schedule appointments, and when in the office I use their wifi hotspot. At present i am having to tun on wifi realistically around a hundred times a day to update my joblist.
Is there a way to add any sort of utility to startup to turn it on at power on maybe?
I've tried everything to make my WiFi work but no luck.
However, I think I'll hold on because I really like WM5. I've ran through all the registry setting but nothing I've tried so far has made a difference. Enev tried downgrading the encryption settings on my MIMO. Furthermore, when I take off SSID broadcast, my BA seems to be able to see the AP but still fails to connect.
It's really annoying because I like to synchronize Avantgo over WiFi and most importantly use my BA when I'm in the bathroom doing you know what. Somebody please help!
Hey Mastiff, what security settings have you got enabled on your Access Point?

Cytrax, did you install activesync 4 to upgrade your rom? You can't sync by wifi on activesync 4 at all, they've removed the option from the program!
cytrax, I have 64 kbit WEP and MAC access control since the 128 kbit WEP was slow to access with another CE unit I have.
Thanks for that info, mastiff.
OK, this is wierd! At this particular point, WiFi works on my BA. However, it only works when I'm at work. The settings configured on Work AP is very similar to what I've got at home. The only difference is I use Netgear MIMO at home while Buffulo Airstation is deployed at work. This is really freaking me out (well, not exactly, but it's annoying).
I also tried with an old Belkin AP last night but didn't get any luck. I think I'm going to try 64bit WEP once I reach home. Watch this space!

Ok guys, I believe I've found the regkey to fix all the dropping wifi issues within WM2005. This has been tried and tested on my Blue Angel SX66 Cingular with the hack listed in the wiki to get up to WM2005. Anyways, to the patch, unfortunately I don't know how to make cab's so follow along. Get yourself a registry editor (i.e. TRE) and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\"Your Adapter Name. Mine had 2 keys, tiacxwln and tiacxwln1, tiacxwln1 was the ticket for me" Within the Parms folder you'll find a DWORD value named ResetOnResume which should be set to '1' change that value to '0' and hit ok in the bottom left corner. Give your BA a soft reset and all should be good. I haven't tested this for side effects, but it now reconnects to wifi on resume without a hitch. Please post results back here, I hope I am not jumping the gun!
TIP: To find your adapter name go into Settings>Connections>Network Cards>Network Adapters and look for "xxxxxxx Compatible Wireless Ethernet" again, mine was called 'tiacxwln Compatible Wireless Ethernet'.
Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!!!
This has been my number one gripe with WM5, everything else as just been small annoyances. But this one... I use WiFi a lot, actually almost every time I turn he thing on. I even got WiFi in my car! So thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Oh, do I have to say that it really works? :lol: Qtek 9090 btw.
You who try this, don't forget to turn off the unit for 15 seconds before you do the soft reset, this flushes the registry.
This also appears to work on WM2003, at least with my SX66 running the current revs from the SX66 Standardization Project.
WOW ... its perfect ..... you're realy MAN !!! thx thx thx.....
I've updated BA_WM5_FIX.CAB so that it sets this registry value:
ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Blueangel/wm5_test/BA_WM5_FIX.CAB
with this registry setting wifi on my BA will not stay off. anyone else getting this?
Yes, I see the same thing. Now suspending the unit will turn on wifi on resume. So is that a problem for those who worry about battery life? Probably. Do I care? Nope! But then I'm in my own home around 90 % of the time, within reach of the charger. No, I'm not a slacker, I actually run a business and work 8-10 hour days, but I have my office at home!
Sorry guys I don't understand what's happening. What's going on with the wifi?
brn2prgrm: On WM5, if you turn Wifi on, switch the device off, then back on, Wifi does not resume. This action was default on WM2003SE. The registry key that makes Wifi resume by itself when you turn the device back on was found, and then integrated in the WM5 patches CAB. That's basically all
Eh...it was he who found that key! What he's wondering about is why it isn't possible to make it stay off when you have enabled this key, even if WiFi is off when you suspend, it will turn on when you turn on the PPC again, which it didn't do in WM2003. It was restored to last state, on or off.
Another thing: Has anybody tried this hack with the wireless control app from the Universal that was posted here a while ago, to see if it stays off then?

I think there is a TYPO in the cab file.
I found the reg setting as tiacwln1
Shouldn't this be tiacxwln1 ????
yes, it is a typo.
I've removed the mistyped key from BA_WM5_FIX.CAB and made a BA_WIFI_FIX.CAB which sets the correct registry value. They are in the same dir on FTP
I don't understand the wifi thing:
I get some connections from my neighbours,but my own linksys won't connect?
What do I have to do to connect my MDA to my linksys router??
since I upgraded to WM5 I can't get my wifi to operate 100% of the time--for example, when I connect to wifi--the signal is locked then I try to send/receive my email and then my SX66 tries to connect via GPRS--do I have a setting that's incorrect? or is it because of this thread which is now patched?? HELP--I use my wifi a lot and lately I can't TIA!!

I'm waiting for a patch that does exactly what you thought off, restores its last stage. Not sure hwo long would it take to come out with it.
Anyway, I do not find it a hassle to Turn On Wifi once again instead of it swtiching on by itself upon power up..... I use wifi a lot too though, but haven't found a prob with it.
how about a registry patch that fixes that bluetooth auto turn off annoyance?
O2 XDA IIs (wifi)
Hi , I have recently upgraded my 02 xda IIs to WM5 ,
after applying the patch , wifi worked for a while , then now when i try wifi again, i get this error.
FORBIDDEN.
you were denied access because: access dinied by access control list.
Someone please help me.
I've tried it all!! The wifi will not turn on at all. In the settings tab and under connection, the comm manager wifi switch pressed will cause the wait cursor to come up, but after the process it wont turn to on. Can anyone please help me.

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. No wify. A "device.exe" error appear. Is there any solution?

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

Hi guys, I upgraded my Tilt to WM 6.1, downloaded from HTC web site, tilt sometimes freezes, in slide open positions the tabs text can be seen only pressing the tabs, plus when I open the menus only get a whit screen on the menu window. I unistalled the kaiser tweaks I was using with WM 6.0 but othing happens, keep doing it. Any Ideas?
Disable Cleartype?
Hello rudysan,
Before you removed kaisertweak, did you turn off cleartype in landscape first? Kaisertweak is merely a limited registry editing tool, and removing it will not undo what it has already changed in the registry. Put kaisertweak back on the device and see if you can turn cleartype in landscape off. Then, soft reset and see if that works. Good luck,
Dave
Thanks a lot Dave, worked perfectly. Great help!!
probably yoa can help me with something else, since I installed WM6.1 on the top bar pf the screen I'm not getting the connectivity service kind, like, G or 3G or E, only get an small x with the arrows like the WIFI. Any ideas, and thanks again
Is airplane mode on? That is the only way that I ever get that symbol on my taskbar. Try Kaisertweak and see if edge or GPRS or 3G are disabled , and if so, enable them and reboot. Otherwise, maybe you are not in a cellular service area. That symbol also shows when I'm out of cellular range. That's all I can think of. Hope that helps you,
Dave
Happy Thanksgiving
