Hello Everyone.
I'm new to the forum and this is my first post, although have been reading and applying a lot of knowledge you guys have! the forum is great!
Anyway, I have an unlocked HTC TyTN II, everything worked fine and I overall very satisfied with the device...
I made a foolish thing! I installed the "Wefi" utility and after playing with it for a little while, I didn't like the thing.. so, I decided to uninstall it.. however, now I find that my kaiser cannot longer connect automatically to my wireless networks after resume.. Now I only get the notification that it has found available wireless networks and, even though I chose not to show the message anymore, it does it every time, and when it does not, the phone doesn't connect to my WiFi.. so I need to do it manually... which is very annoying..
I already restored original registry keys under HLM\Comm\TNETW12511\Parms with no luck so far...
What can I do?... I'm still on the original WM 6.0, have not loaded any ROM changes yet..
Your help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

Fix for auto connect problem after removing WeFi
My name is Galia Finkelstein and I work at the support desk at WeFi. This doesn't happen anymore on the new version that's been released so for the older version we have a version fix for the problem with the automatic connection, just run this file and you should be good to go http://wefi.com/static/RestoreZCAutoConnect.exe
If I can assist with anything else please drop me a line at [email protected].
WeFi post-uninstall problems
Hi!
I am sufferring from the same problems as "obadillo" - see above.
I downloaded and installed the latest version of WeFi, but after a couple of days of use, I found that I didn't like it, and it also took up too much of my valuable "today" screen space.
After uninstalling, I found that firstly, all my previous wi-fi settings had been lost (WEP keys for my home network, my work network etc etc), and secondly, even after re-enterring these details, my device (HTC Touch UK Version - Orange UK) - (running WM6 Pro) refused to auto-connect when I switch the WiFi on.
After reading the reply from Galia (directly above my post), I downloaded and ran the executable, but found that it made no difference.
Any ideas anyone? I did email Wefi's support email address, but as yet have received no reply.
Thanks in advance!
I have also tried this fix with no success (running WM5). I have also sent an email to wefi support. No response. I would recommend you stay away from this software.
We-Fi Latest Version
I have found a (kind of) solution! I have installed the latest version of We-Fi (downloaded from their website), and then DEselected it in my Today programs. So even though its not in use, its wifi parameters still overrule the PPCs local params. This seems to allow me to switch on and off WiFi WITHOUT using the WeFi software, and it now autoconnects, even with the several wireless networks I have stored, whenever I switch WiFi on, it may take a few seconds to connect, but it now does every time.
Not the greatest "solution", but at least the problem is partially solved.
But as the good man above says, unless you're VERY sure you want to install WeFi, do not install, because you will lose ALL preexisiting WiFi connections and settings etc..
Have a good one!

Hello again, XDA devs!
I also had the problem and I'm struggling with Amir, some guy from the WeFi staff, to get the problem solved or at least recognized.
I left a complete description on my blog with links to people having problems. Here's the article (without links):
Before you consider installing WeFi on your Windows Mobile device, you might want to read this cautiously and save yourself some problems.
If you have not yet tried it, you're not missing much. Although promising, the app takes over your device. It controls your today screen, messes up your wi-fi parameters and some rarer stability issues were also reported.
First, the app needs .Net CF v.2.0, something that takes space and puts more useless crap on your device. Then the app doesn't just find networks and connect to them. Instead it overrides your wi-fi parameters and inserts its own code, thus the uninstallation problems. WeFi also takes a lot of your today screen's estate for basically nothing. How much screen space? Take a look.
Upon uninstalling it, many noticed their devices stopped automatically connecting to wireless networks, among other, rarer problems. The only known fix to the problem is to hard-reset your device and to stay the **** away from this app. We also saw a link to a .exe file somewhere but no one left feedback about it so we assume it's just as good as WeFi. You might also reinstall it, hide it and use it to take care of the wi-fi stuff or go in Settings>Connections>Wi-Fi everytime to select a network to connect to.
The developers were quick to comment about the problem and said they are working on it (see the first comment to this post). However their product page doesn't mention the problem yet and people still get caught. I left them feedback about *some* of the concerned device, assuming it's not all of them, hoping for a change. Feel free to do the same and put some pressure on these guys too.
You might also read one of those threads and see for yourself.

I'm trying to get the warning to reach all the download spots, if you guys feel like helping. This is just unacceptable, let's do something about it!
Haim head of WeFi Windows Mobile development team here
Hello all,
First, let me assure you all that we are doing our best to solve any user problem as quickly as possible.
Out of the thousands of mobile users we have, there are really only a few users who complained about this problem.
We released a fix that you can find in: http://www.wefi.com/download/client/RestoreZCAutoConnect.exe
which after executing and doing soft reset should solve the problem.
As our support team explained to “primemaps” via e-mails (sent in 08/07) this fix only works if you uninstall WeFi first.
What you are all describing is that ZeroConfig stopped auto connecting.
By avoiding the manipulation of ZeroConfig default timeouts in our next version (which should be released in about 2 weeks from now), this should not happen anymore.
If this does not help you or you have encountered any other problem – please send me an email to [email protected] and I promise a fast response,
it would help if you mentioned your WeFi version, Device model and ActiveSync version.
I hope you would all choose to install our next version and enjoy the many benefits it can bring you.
Haim
Can't work with it and can't work without it
With my HTC TyTN II I had similar problems as others have described, or maybe even worse: I could no longer work to any wireless networks. It would disconnect in less than one second every time.
I did a hard reset and that didn't work!
I also tried the "fix" the WeFi representative suggested but that didn't help at all either.
What finally helped me was Namwollem's solution: Install WeFi again and removed it from the Today screen (but kept it installed).
I can't help wonder if WeFi changes something in the ROM since a hard reset didn't even fix it.
One of these days I will have to install the ROM all over and see if it makes a difference, but I wish I could avoid that!
I hope others won't be stupid like me and install this #$%[email protected]#&$ software!
Nothing helps for my Diamond to restore Wifi signal
I have Htc diamond with newest Rom downloaded from htc.com.
My problem is that since i installed aplication WEFI(older version) and uninstalled it, i cannot see ANY available wifi networks.. I tried alot of things. I tried soft reset, hard reset, i installed WEFI (newest version) , in moments wifi works and shows available networks and i can connect, but after it doesnt work again.. I would say it shows networks only ocasionally(even if im always surrounded by at least 10 hotspots). I installed newest Rom again, i installed old official ROM, i always put mamximum performance instead of battery, and still i have no results/cannot see ANY available networks). I have a feeling like i really have a hardware problem with wifi now..But again i think whatever it is its caused by this aplication WEFI. Does anylone have any ideas? i saw some Rafael radio ROM , maybe i can try to install that?
Thanks
AArrrggghh!
This god-awful program rears its ugly head again! I have solved the problem totally now by getting a new handset!! Now I have my Touch HD (Blackstone), one thing I WILL NOT do is install this garbage!! A quick search thru the forums here will reveal a small and very useful program which will with one click switch-on WiFi (and auto connect to the signal it finds if stored in your preferred networks) and with another click will switch WiFi off! Its called AKWifiToggle, and while no where near as fancy as WeFi, IT WORKS and DOESN'T MUCK UP YOUR PHONE!!!
Recently I've been having problems with my Kaiser connecting to my Wifi.
Here is what happens reliably (when phone on it happens more often):
1) Turn on wifi from comms manager (it searches relentlessly)
2) If I try to turn wifi off in command manager at this stage it hangs the comms manager - not even task manager will be able to close it down.
If I turn the phone off (button) then it won't turn on again till a soft reset.
3) soft boot or remove battery - Kaiser comes back with wifi connected immediately most of the time however, it can also come back still searching in which case repeat soft reset or hard reset.
4) Once connection is established - I can connect / reconnect ok till the device is turned off then it happens again. If phone is off it appears to happen more reliably but I've not tested this enough, it happens either way eventually.
So phone on is 95% reliable but can be ok for a couple of times.
5) Once the wifi is in search mode the comms manager is useless and this continues ad infinitum (any attempt to turn wifi off will hang CM) and always a soft boot will bring the device back with a connection established to my wifi point.
Here's what I've tried:
1) Soft boot / battery removal
2) Hard reset without restoring any kind of back up -ie virgin restart
3) Hard reset without allowing custom install of t-mobile software.
Details of my device:
1) T-mobile Win mobile 6 - original rom
2) Hard SPL : SPL-1.0 Oliprof (CPLD-8)
so the only thing I've done to this machine is installed Oli's Hard SPL.
It appears therefore that no software is causing the problem. I am wondering if there's a possibilty of the Hard SPL causing a problem through corruption or do I have a hardware fault with the radio?
I'd be grateful for any help on this as to what I should do next. Please don't tell me to load win6.1 as this worked fine till now so isn't the problem. The only thing I can think of is to re-do the hard spl.
EDIT: Well I've just reloaded Hard spl 1.0 and the problem is the same so I'm out of ideas.
Just a few thoughts - although I do not have problems with my Kaiser, I have met problems with other folks.
1
Is the signal quality good - we know the range is not fantastic, so it's worth checking:
Start>Settings>Connections>Wireless Lan (Icon)>Main and look at the Signal Quality.
2
Start>Settings>Connections>Wireless Lan (Icon)>Power Mode(Tab) and change to best performance.
3
Does it do this with other networks? Don't rule out the Router creating difficulties.
4
Do you let the Kaiser go to sleep mode with wifi connected. If so I'd advise you terminate the connection in comm manager and turn off using on/off button rather than allowing auto sleep mode.
5
It might be better to allocate a fixed IP address rather than allowing the router to set it. Hangs can be created in the IP allocation stage.
6
Do you have any applications set to auto collect data? These could be weather apps, mail, time sync, quick GPS etc etc etc. If so you can try disabling those settings to ensure the crash is not a conflict between setting up the connection and simultaneous data collection.
These can be pesky problems to track down. I suspect that many of the above would be ruled out by your clean boot after a hard reset. If it always works initially after a hard reboot though, it does suggest that another app/process is interferring at a later stage.

Thanks Mike for your valued input.
Just to answer the questions:
1) Yes signal is excellent (I connect in 3 cycles of the animation plus after reboot it connects immediately)
2) I've tried these options - my current setup worked perfectly before, plus of course a hard reset and clean machine displays the same problems
3) I haven't tried on other networks but I've eliminated the router as the problem. I've tried dynamic / fixed - I normally allocate ip via the router plus lock down mac addresses. opened the system. However, this doesn't surprise me because I can cause this lock up without a connection. It's more rare but for instance, if I turn the phone on and delete my signin, normally this pops a dialogue asking which network to connect to. Sometimes that doesn't come up and it still hangs. It is more rare though.
4) No
5) yes tried all optons
6) No and especially not on a clean machine.
I've had the device for some time without any problems so something has changed quite radically which makes me think h/ware. If I were diagnosing this on a pc I'd be looking at both H/ware or a possible driver problem as it the network adapter is locking when it's accessed, however, on this device I don't see the logic of drivers unless they can somehow corrupt in rom even after a hard reset. Is that possible or heard of?
One observation is that when I get the hang and I try to look at the wifi settings I get the following message:
Code:
"To configure your wireless network, please enable your wireless network card".
This little clue seems to point at somethhing that's caused the adaptor to cease responding but somehow in the process locking the comms manager up (ie. if I goto comms manager and try to turn the wifi off, I'll get the spinner ad infinitum). Yet a reboot will kick it back into life again. And notably once it's running, and providing I don't switch the machine off, it'll work till the cows come home perfectly reliably.
I guess my question is whether there is any possible software cause that could exist AFTER a hard reset? Also the reliablity of this problem is enhanced considerably if 1) I have the phone turned on and 2) if I turn the machine off and back on and try to reconnect. Maybe that could indicate a power issue making the adaptor die I don't know what else would make the adapter lock up.
So far I've re-installed the (same) radio and Hardspl and neither of these have changed anything. I could of course go the final step and install the rom again but I haven't done yet as I wasn't sure what components other than the radio might be relevant in the rom.
Edit:
If it always works initially after a hard reboot though, it does suggest that another app/process is interferring at a later stage.

Just to clarify this: Wifi connects 90% after a soft boot initially. A hard reset makes no difference to the behaviour.
It may be a hardware issue, but it would be last on my list of suspects. (I KNOW it must feel as if you have tried everything already – and I think perhaps you have!!!)
Just a couple of further suggestions – since I am certainly not sure where the problem lies.
Having done a Hard Reset, I would 95% rule out a software issue on the phone (though it is possible with corruption of original data – but a remote possibility I think).
I hesitate to suggest a router factory reset, but it may be worth trying.
Two more things to try:

I am curious about why having the phone enabled causes more crashes. Have there been any phone network changes in your area. It crosses my mind that there have been a few reports of wifi problems when 3G is being used. Perhaps you could, as a test, try limiting the phone to GSM only and then testing wifi:
start>settings>phone>band – set gsm on both drop down lists.

There are a few reasons why I didn't spend more time on the router once I'd established a few things:
1) The adpator actually hangs and it causes abnormal behaviour on the machine. ie. comms manager hangs if you attempt to try to turn off wifi and the spinner comes up. Even more abnormally this causes one of two scenarios, either a) the machine no longer turns off or if you manage to turn off it won't turn on again. So it's causing a major problem with the whole system.
In my experience a no-connect situation never results in a hang, it just times out and a list pops up of other alternative wifi networks it's found and you can always just turn wifi off or use the machine normally at this point.
2) Wifi connects to my router no problem, always has and still will first time from a boot (providing I tried to turn wifi on and it failed before the boot). After a hang and reboot it comes back always connected - doesn't even search, it's a solid non animated connection icon. In other words the card has woken up and therefore has no problems with my router once it's alive.
As an outside chance that the router is getting confused about a disconnect / reconnect I've also rebooted it in between just to make sure - but the router can't tell my machine to hang or fail to respond.
3) I have managed to get this to hang after deleting my settings, ie. stopping it from logging on to my router but rather letting it come up with a list of wifi points it's found. Most of the time the list comes up but after several tests I've confirmed that it does eventually happen. The symptoms are the same when it does. At this point no list appears and we end up with the same deal as in 1)
Having said that I can give the router a try - resetting it isn't too much of a problem as I can backup my configuration but I'm pretty certain it's not the problem bit when problems get wierd then logic sometimes goes out the window and one has to try everything.

I'll follow the registry one just in case but both those threads seem to be from people who can't get a wifi connect at all, usually for s/ware reasons. This is different to my problem which is an abnormal adaptor / system hang caused by accessing wifi.

I'm curious too. I thought a problem with the radio as a whole but I've tested GPS and bluetooth without any problems, both on plus the phone. I also thought that some kind of power issue. If the voltage to the adapter for some reason dropped below a certain point it would kill it till it was kicked back into life. Just a theory. What would cause this, I've no idea, faulty component, dry joint perhaps.
I also had similar thoughts as you on possible changes to the phone service till I finally found it could hang without the phone too just less. This is like 30% to 95%, but multiple on/ off of the wireless and a couple of machine power offs will get it to happen when the phone is off. It just takes a bit more encouragement.
As for 3G I have mine disabled. I only ever turn it on if I am out and need internet via my service. I got caught out when T-mobile's 3G kicked in, in my area and my battery life went to hell about 18months ago - since then it stays disabled.
EDIT: This may or may not be relevant but I hadn't figured out which situation causes failure turn off. If comms manager is hung after a trying to turn wifi off the machine WILL turn off but not back on again. I just found that one other dialogue that hangs is going into the Wifi settings > network adapters > IEE 802.11b/g wifi adapter. This dialog hangs solid. At this point the off button does nothing. It's a reset. Just a strange reversal but it's also a confirmation that the adapter itself is the problem or has been put into a very nasty state.
Hello all,
Here's the problem. When I go to activate the wifi through comm manager, the button turns off, sometimes it hangs (clock showing) for 6 seconds, sometimes pressing over and over it will not turn. it will turn on for a .5 sec then go right off. At the times when it does turn on, the button below (GPRS or data..I think) will come on as well. There's a big "E" with the signal to the right, and then the little "e" on the top of the today screen will start bugging out with 2 small arrows on it I guess searching for a gprs connection..and a message saying the following:"connecting to media.net" or "connecting to att isp GPRS, connecting to ATT 3g" and "wap.cingular..cannot connect for unknown reason..yada yada yada" the popup messages drive me crazy I want to smash the phone to the floor. but no wifi.
My account has neither gprs or 3G and i'm sick and tired of it searching for it. I click the dismiss/hide button but it just comes right back on bombarding me with these popup messages over and over. Once in a while it will turn on but for a short time to the point it won't connect to the wifi spot, and over and over we go. Skyfire gives me "can't connect to server", and opera comes up, but by the time it does, the wifi button turn off. It's not even getting to the point of connecting to the coffee place. why is it looking for GPRS when all I want is free wifi? All I want to do is check my email once in a while. I live overseas by the way. I did do a clean restart many times but it doesn't fix the problem. I won't flash a new rom as I'm a bit worried so please to offer/recommend. The phone never fell to the floor so I don't think it's the issue. Anyway to configure it to stop searching for GPRS/3G? maybe I did something wrong in the kaiser tweak settings..?
This is an att phone ROM 1.57.502.2 ROM date 8/25/07 RADIO 1.27.12.11
PROTOCOL 22.45.88.07H
I've had the phone for about 2 years and the last 8 months or so it's given me the problems listed. I never took the time to deal with it, but I'm just fed up to the point I will never buy an HTC device again if I can't solve the problem.
any help appreciated..
BTW, on the right side of the phone the crack (between the screen and keyboard) is unusually large and has some play to it. Even though I hardly ever use the
keyboard/sliding mechanism.
Also, nice look to the forum. A much needed overhaul IMO.
Help please...
I have a similar issue, and I am blaming the age of the device for it's inability to connect to my wireless network at home. At work, it has no bother as the wireless gear is of a higher spec.
wow thats a lot of information in just 3 paragraphs! what i'm trying to say is that you've described the situation well but you haven't mentioned any steps you've taken to try to solve the problem.
first, if you don't pay for a data connection (3G, GPRS, etc), then you can disable the data connection using "modaco nodata". essentially, this will disable the data connection so that the phone never attempts to use it.
next, you need to clarify how long it has been since you last performed a "hard reset". if it has been ages since the last hard reset, back up all your data (messages, contacts, call history, photos, videos, music, etc, etc) and give that ***** a hard reset!
what the above will accomplish is TWO things:
1. it will reset the device and its software to "factory condition", hence the need to back up all your data and to be prepared to reinstall all your programs and settings and configurations.
2. more importantly, the hard reset will help rule out or confirm the possibility of a hardware failure.
lets talk more about number 2 above. if the problem is purely software related (windows has gone bad/corrupt, some registry settings are bad/corrupt, etc, etc), then hard resetting will fix it certainly. if the problem stems from a hardware issue, then the problem will persist after the hard reset.
thus, the hard reset step will direct you and the rest of us in a definite direction to try to solve the problem.
if you have already tried a hard reset, you should update your first post to reflect this fact. it is good practice to give as much information as possible if you need help troubleshooting an issue.
do let us know what happens and good luck!

Nice Post number
will try the "modaco nodata" patch and also I did do a hard reset about 4 months ago. though the problem was before that as well.
I'll have to backup and dod a HR then i'll update any problems. Thanks for now
Hey all,
I was bring back a Diamond from death, it was stuck at Smart Mobility Screen.
Now its alive, i have tried over 5 different ROM's 6.1, and 6.5 too, but whenever i try to turn on WiFi either BlueTooth, its just start thinking, then remain off.
Nothing happens.
Is this a ROM Bug or what?
Where can i find an original HTC ROM for it, which should be working fine?
Thanks in advance.

with WiFi OnDemand HTC by Krocher will allow the phone to activate and connect to the WLAN first and use it instead of connecting directly to the GPRS/3G. In cases when there is no Wi defined / known - Fi is found, the phone will connect to GPRS/3G. There ` s no need to disable your Wi - Fi, then it will turn off after a while the device is suspended.
Same problem over here.
A couple of days ago, I tried connecting to my home network, the way I always do, only to see the Wi-Fi icon on the top bar show up for only a few seconds, and then disappear (I was connected to the same network an hour earlier, and everything worked flawlessly). A few attempts later, it even stopped showing the icon. In addition to that, I lost the (Windows default) network list tab (Settings > Connections > Wi-Fi > Wireless Networks opens the network adapter list ('Configure Network Adapters')). After that, I tried soft resetting, hard resetting, then changing ROMs (MTTY step included), to no avail. Last night, miraculously, it started working. Now it's dead, again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT #1: This video sums it up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_jQc1JRGQI
EDIT #2: A couple of possible culprits:
1) Loose antenna/cable as in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846650
2) Erased EEPROM; possible solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=597195 (in my case, I doubt it's this one, as everything was fine both last night and this morning)
I can not turn it on at all.
Can't get it turned on ever.
When i click "ON" the icon starts spinning the wifi remain off.
I did updated the ROM,and Radio too, tried over 10 versions, and no success.
I will also get an error message sometimes "We're Sorry, device.exe stopped working" or so..
So my problem is not that.
same problem
any ideas ?
hi there
My wifi either sits searching or no network found it wont pick up any network
Its a stock rom never flashed only official upgrades

Hi there, I have the exact same situation, I tried everything, master resets, downgrades of spls and custom roms, and different radios. All didnt work. I asked the same question and no one replied, may mean there is no known solution. I also scoured the web for a whole week, reading almost everything about this issue and trying whatever was suggested to no avail. Now I am selling my HD7 with "the wifi and bluetooth doesnt work".
thanks for the reply and sorry to hear your phone is in the same boat as mine.
Mine seems to be getting worse, slowly affecting other functions of the phone. ive lost count of the hard resets i've done now. somethimes settings wont open, apps dont always open. got to pull the battery to shut the phone off as the screen dulls down if i leave it but it doesnt time off. and the power button sometimes works and sometimes don't.
think unless someone turns up with a magic nswer soon, i'll need to order new phone too. shame coz i really like the hd7
I am having the same problem. Wifi worked fine since I bought the phone on 11/2010, but stopped working last night. When I went to power the phone off, I had to remove the battery because it was stuck on the "Goodbye" screen (the first time this has happened).
Same problem, what can we do?

Exactly the same problem. I've flashed and reflashed, tried all radios from 5.51, 5.52, 5.69 to 5.71.
After a reset the wifi works once or twice then doesn't work anymore :crying:
Must be the module within the phone. I see the middle housing has two connectors for WiFi and GPS, perhaps the WiFi connector doesn't work but it looks like this little thing is only an antenna, not a module.
The part I meen is a "sticker" that's on the same piece of plastic as the kickstand.
Should i replace the entire inner part or would the antenna be enough?
Help: WiFi/Bluetooth Problem
Hi, I suggest you change the title to 'WiFi/Bluetooth Problem' as I also have the same problem. It does not detect either of the two WiFi protocols (WPA2 & WEP) as I tried both with my router (laptops and androids get them both perfect).
Bluetooth on the other hand, does not pair with ANY device. Brings 'Tap to pair' prompt', then the Error 'Not Supported'. I'm running Dynamics v2.0 - Newer WP7.8 custom ROM, but this was the same even with factory ROM.
So are there any developments regarding the problems here? I still got it, no Wi-Fi, no BT...
I have a problem with my WiFi too. everything was ok since I had my HD7 two years ago, and I started to flash many custom roms a year ago with no problems at all. but one month ago my WiFi stopped working without any obvious reason, my phone was connected to wifi and I put it on the table then I picked it up.... no WiFi at all and no internet sharing also. I can turn on or off the green switch of the wifi but only just for fun! and the Wifi icon which usually pops down from the top of my phone will never appear.
I tried to flash new or old roms, many many hard resets with no luck. Also opened my phone to check if there is a hardwear problem but seems not.
Now I'm using cellular for the internet untill I can buy a new phone and break this one.
Ik must be built in or so. Every flash I do, two reboots later, Wi-Fi breaks.
They just want us to get new phones :/
EDIT
I've also installed two different, brand new, SD-card (1 class 2 and 1 class 10) but this gives the same problem.
On a side note, the class 10 is way, way faster
/EDIT
Same here
The WiFi just stopped working out of the blue and nothing i've done has restarted it. It must be something with WP7 because now the wifi icon no longer appears and the Internet sharing option is blank.
