Wifi - New Rom

hey I've searched pretty much everywhere and I can't find a solution, Got K-jam Rom 2.16.9.1, apart from not being able to find a better Rom, I can't fix my wifi issues, weak signal - struggles to connect and usually gives an error stating that it couldn't assign IP adress. ok so far I've put wifi setting to full performance and placed a registry hack, but nothing changed. assigning my own IP I haven't tried cause I don't know how to do it! anyhow I know this wifi problem is old, but perhaps there is a solution out there!
anyone come across a solution ?

Try to update the Radio ROM.

I'm having this same problem and I can't figure out how to fix it.
I'll try connecting to wifi at home and work and it'll say it's connecting but never actually connects, and then an error message will come up saying "cannot obtain a server assigned IP address"
and I've already updated my Radio to the 2.19.11 version. I also tried changing the access point name from "wap.voicestream.com" to "internet2.voicestream.com" and that didn't work either.
Please help!

ah dude if your using t-mobile, then u have to get 2.69, works best

If you have T-Mobile and you're having this problem it's because you can't use the proxy while you're connected to wifi. You have to go in to connection settings and remove the check from the use proxy checkbox.

i just checked the proxy setting and it actually wasnt checked...but im at my friends house and the wifi is actually working. i guess it just doesnt work at home and work haha.

If it works at your friends house and not at home or work, is your network protected? Did you supply it with the keys if it is?

Yeah at home my network is password protection and I do have the key, but still doesn't work :*(
The one I connected to earlier was an unsecure network, btw.

I have i Mate K-Jam with ROM 2.16.9.1 WWE. Post that I have upgraded Radio Rom to 2.47.11 which is available on XDA ftp site and it works well with 64 and 128 bit WEP key and over Wireless Access Points which are G or B standard.

It sounds like you may be using the wrong type of security on the network. Log in to the network with a laptop and then check the security settings. I generally use WPA-Personal with TKIP. However there are several other possibilities. My WIZA100 works fine with my g-54 set to TKIP.

I admit that I am somewhat unaware of some of the workings on the Wiz. However, I thought that the Radio Rom was only for the GSM functions. Does the ROM also include the Wireless Radio functions?

TyTN wireless problems

Hi!
I have a huge problem, with my tytn HTC
I have a wireles network at home. It is built like this:
Cable modem --> (not wireless)Router--> computer (conected to the router via UTP cable, that means with ordinary network adapter card).
In this computer, i have WIRELESS USB card, configured as Access point (AP), so the wireless networks works just fine. With my laptop i can connect to internet through this card with no problem at all...
But, when i try to connect to internet with my TyTN, it just won't work... it finds wireless network, it sais it is available, but when i try to connect, nothing happens. it sais "connecting" and than- nothing happens... after several tries, it sais that my wireless network is unavailable... when i reset my Tynt, it sais it is available again, but the same story again...after several attempts to connect to wireless network, it sais unavailable and that's it...
What is wrong? i tried everything, im quite desspered here...
Well, tnx in advance for any suggestions and advices...
I appologise for my bad english, too...
TNX!

Do you have any restrictions in your Acess point configuration? If yo have, just remove it or reconfigure for acess with your TyTN. Try to remove WEP or MAC filtering or firewall...

Resolving your wireless problems ...
There's actually several things you need to check.
First, on the Router side, insure that you are not restricting your wireless access. For instance, is your Router set to G Only or is it b/g?
Next, on your router side, make sure your router is not hidden. If so, then you'll need to manually add the router via Configure Wireless Networks on your TyTN. At the top is "Add New...". Choose this and insert your settings for your wireless router.
On the TyTN (HTC Hermes) side of things, you need to see if you are set to be B only or if you've upgraded (I think most ROMs on this site have this fix installed) and your device is seen as a G device and therefore can connect to G only devices.
These should hopefully resolve your issues.

i removed restrictions and firewall and still nothing...
Next thing, my wireless Access Point is set to 54g Auto.
On my Tynt i have installed Windows mobile 6 profesional, CE OS 5.2.1437 (build 17944.0.3.1)
I don't know exactly where should i look if my HTC is wireless is B or G...
I tried to change settings on my AP from 54g Auto to 802.11B and to to 802.11G and vice versa, but still nothing...
As i wrote before, i don't have wireless router i just have an ordinary router and then wireless USB card in one of the computers, so i can connect with my laptop to internet over this card. With laptop it works excelent.
So, can anyone suggest what kind of OS should i install on my HTC in order to fix this, and where can i get one?
TNX for so far, and TNX in advance for any further information or suggestion!

Still having problems...i tried everything...
i tried to connect to wireless network at friend's wireless router...TyNT found a signal, everything was just fine, then asked me for key (friend has WEP protection), i typed the password, and then i couldn't connect again...
I havo no clue whatsoever anymore...
Anyone with same problem?? Any suggestions?
Tnx in advance for any advice...

hmm...
I guess it is a hardware problem with my tynt's WI-FI...i can't think of anything else... i tried everything, still can not connect...
Im getting quite desspered with this HTC... i guess i'll sell it and buy NOKIA N95 or something like that...
well, if someone by any chance know where the problem is, i thanks in advance for every advice or suggestion
TNX

I have nothing to contribute as we have similar problems. I have learned from other users that development team from Htc is preparing a patch which will be released in two months time. Let's wait for it then.

I have tried to flash older radio didn't help ...
I have tried disable wep on my router ... didn't help

Hi!
I'm just wondering are there any solutions been found?
Or it's definitely hardware problem?
WBR!

problem
so Ive found my problem ....
Ive upgraded firmware in my router to newest version and problem appeared.
When I've removed encryption wpa2 and set my router to no encryption my wifi worked again.
So I've bought different wifi router and I've no problems now.
So anyone who is having dead wifi in hermes try to deactivate wifi encryption and try a different router (friends house or public wifi hotspot)

Recently bought my wife one of these devices and just spent two whole days looking for a solution and that was it.. mixed mode - I had mine set to "G" only! Sometimes the solution is too simple for the geek to be able to spot I guess - maybe the wife would have found it faster!
Thanks for the solution.. as with all forums I always suggest a FAQ with these solutions or links to the threads/posts with these tips and resolutions.

Lucky... Mine did not connect anymore, flashed black majik over schaps3.6 and voilla! worked again... without touching the router.... Will try last schaps tonight.... I´m tired of flashing and reinstalling....

Connecting Hermes to WPA-PSK protected Wi-Fi.

I've searched every forum on the XDA site and used "The Google" to search the Interwebs and still haven't discovered an answer so I'm hoping that some of the Gurus (Guri?) can assist.
I can't seem to connect to my wireless network which is protected using WPA-PSK.
I can see my network but, when prompted for the key, I don't have one. My Netgear router uses a "Passphrase" and doesn't actually generate the hex key.
Can anyone point me in the correct direction or, offer any suggestions that may be of assistance?
Thanks in advance.

Did you solve the problem? I have a similar problem! I have been away from windows mobile for a while using the iPhone and now I feel like a newbie. However, I was able to flash a new ROM, Hard SPL and radio. My iPhone connects to my network, but my FUZE just shows that it is trying to connect after entering my security key. Can't figure it out?

updating the router firmware helps many

i have deal with the same problem but in my notebook with vista, and i solved it by changing se security protocol to WPA-PSK, with dta cifrate TKIP, not i repeat NOT AES, and it solved!!!
Give i try, it should work....

Fulgore69-tried that and still no luck. Did change on both network and FUZE.
Rudegar- tried that too!!
I am still stuck? I will figure this out

maybe wifi area use MAC filtering, u must registering MAC addres PDA for conecting wifi area

HD2 WiFi problem **HELP**

Please help, ive had my hd2 for a few days now and have had nothing but problems, might just give it back!
It picks up my home router but simplify wont connect, it just displays a small rotating circle likes it working but nothings happening.
When i remove the settings and retype the key code it keeps saying incorrect code but it isnt,
Anyone any ideas, can i some how reset the wifi settings, its taken me a few days to customize the phone so i dont really want to do a hardwear reset. Ive already a software restset.
Bloody htc!

What protocal are you using on your router? WPA, WEP?
Oh if your using an older Belkin router, I know of about 3-4 models that used to have trouble with WinMo, an update Router flash fixes it though.
Give us some more info on your router etc and Im sure we can help though

Sure your using the right password/key? if it says its wrongs it is probably wrong lol. Maybe try changing it to a more basic password as a test? like "password" and see if it can get connect.

Hi
Calm down. Give some information about your router and the type of security You use.
try these
1. Reset the router once
2. If you use MAc access list on the router then add your device's MAC to the list.
3. If you use N router then in the settings untick N mode protection.
Give more details about the third party software on the hd2 using radios (eg: tomtom, igo,gpstuner like these)
Good luck

HI guys thanks for helping out.
Obvious first - yes the key code is correct i use it on my laptop and iphone.
security mode says WAP-PSK/WPA2-PSK. Its a siemens ive been on the ip server addres and cant see any issues, im on my laptop using the wifi now and its working perfet.
Ive tried everything, changing passwords, settings both on the router and on the phone.
The hd2 is full of really stupid bugs!

Try to hardreset the PPC.
If it won't work, try to update your ROM to the latest available.
If it doesn't want to work, then try to connect to another WiFi without password and see the connection is successful.
If it works with an unprotected WiFi, try to connect to a different router but with protected WiFi.
If it works, then there is a problem with your router and I suggest to update your router's firmware.

funny wifi
the problem wit my hd2 is most of the time it shows wifi connected but i cant surf the internet and sometimes out of the blues it connects to the internet,cant figure out wats happening....

HI kholk, thanks for the help, ill work my way through it and hopefully get it sorted!

Have you found the solution? I can help you my friend i had the same situation

I tried to connect yesterday my hd2 with my router. First it wasnt working aswell. Then i set the next things. Channel 9 (was auto), Encryption AES (was tkip and AES). Network mode is Mixed. Further have you installed Mac Filter? I installed this also. So if i have a connection thats it. I must fill in my macadres from my phone for i get fully connected.

Hi guys thanks all for you help call HTC UK support and their amazing advice was to do a full hard reset!
I really am having a lot of problems with this phone and i cant understand why their have been so many issues?!

Hi guys,
I have the same problem- HD2 shows it is connected, but no access to Internet(other- laptop, SE990 phone is connected and working OK)
For not to write about all, now situation is:
1. On router wrt54g2 temporary disabled wireless security, only mac filtering is on(laptop mac, SE mac, HD2 mac is allowed), router firmware is up to date
2.HD2 is like new after hard reset, no settings is done for connection to home network. HD2 wifi is on, looking for access points and connecting to only one available open network in my area- to my home network and shows it is connected but no access to Internet.
3. In router I can see all connected clients by mac. All 3(lap, SE, HD2) are connected. I use Network Magic software too but it is showing only my laptop and desktop are connected. SE is not connected according NM, but it is working OK.
P.S.
Do not know what else can help you in my problem(maybe some other router setting, but as other devices are connected without problems so maybe it is not important for now)
So only my HD2 can not access WWW
Can You guys help somehow please

I've got a similar problem with an HD2 over here. Wifi does switch on, but it just won't connect to my router. The cirkel that is supposed to show when connecting to a network doesn't show either. I'm using WPA2-AES security, and yes, i did use the proper network key. I haven't tried connecting to other networks/using an alternative encryption method because a lot of other devices will then have to be reconfigured and it's not my own place. My Touch HD and 2 laptop connect to the network without any problems. The only solution I came across until now is doing a hard reset, which I would rather not do... I'm using a stock dutch rom (V1.43). Is it possible that upgrading to the newer 1.48 will solve this problem?

Have you tried removing the wireless security password and trying again? Test to see if maybe you are indeed typing in the password wrong.
Also check your exception list on your router, it might be blocking any other devices coming in.

I have the same problem.. Get the spinning loading circle and thats it.. But if i turn my belkin wires g router running wpa2 off then straight back on again the phone connects fine. But if i then leave my house or disconnect from the network then try and reconnect it wont and have to do the same process again. Luckily im also running a speedtouch 585 modem router which the phone connects fine to.

hey maybe it takes only a WEP key and not WPA as most people have. this is certainly the case as mentioned in the Wifi router article below -
http://www.mobilityminded.com/5438/wi-fi-router-on-htc-hd2-application-overview

Again me
It seems that it is problem with my router. HD2 was able to connect to open wireless a.p. in my town and all sow to my friends router which is using WPA security. So my linksys is not compatible, or i will try some other settings on it, but as other router clients have no problems, i am loosing my hope to have my HD2 connected at home unless i change router. But then another problem- which router will be compatible with all my devices in prise range of 100$
And replying to blackheart2925 my friend is using wpa not wep, i do not know other settings on his router but it is not security problem.
One thing is strange for my HD2 shows it is connected, router shows mac of HD2 among connected clients, but only HD2 do not have access to internet

how are you connected to internet is it router which dials to isp or you have made a broadband dial up on your desk top ...
if you have dial up shortcut on desktop then you can not use internet via hd then change setting in router
better way is hard reset router and then reconnect hopefully it will solve your issue ..........

Router "dials" to my isp and share internet for all connected devices...
Yes, i am going to hard resset my router, but have not much hope i sucsess

PROB:
If your HD2 connects to router but you cannot enter any web site, do this:
SOLUTION:
enter your www router settings - wireless - access control - MAC Address Filtering Table ->>>>> add your HD2 MAC adress
enter your www router settings - firewall - access control ->>>>> add your HD2 MAC adress
so, you have to add your MAC adress of HD2 into router TWO TIMES into TWO PLACES!

HD2 cant connect to wifi :(

Hi All,
Just got my new HTC HD2 from Virgin, however I cannot for the life of me seem to connect it to my home WiFi (I've not tried it elsewhere yet).
I've still got my MDA Compact IV here with me and use the same settings as the HD2 and that connects first time no problems, but the HD2 isnt playing ball!
It sees my wireless network at home (full strength) and starts to connect then simply says "Available". No notification of incorrect wireless key etc...reported.
I have used my Compact IV side by side with the HD2 and no issues so I am puzzled as to what I need to do now
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank

Are you sure you didn't set up some MAC address filter in your wireless access point?

I've not enabled MAC address filtering on the router at all, just simple wifi security key access.

Flash a new radio?
(check my sig under hspl flashing guide)

if you are using wep, heres something to try.
routers can be set to three types of wep key
open
open or shared
shared
in my experience if you areset to the middle one, "open or shared" mobile devices can have trouble connecting.try setting it to just "shared"instead.
course it could just be my router but I have seen this behavior in three mobiles including my hd2.

Current router settings is WPA-PSK [TKIP]. I even tried turning off security and got nothing My router is Netgear WGR614v9 - it came with my Virgin broadband deal.
Current ROM version is 1.48.405.2 (71294) WWE and radio version 2.05.51.05.2
Its most annoying that the HD2 on the face of it seems like a really good handset but then I cant get the Wifi connected which most basic handsets have no issues with
Any other possible solutions?

I got the same problem
I have the exact same problem.. Cant connect to my AP with my leo... got no mac secure on, even if i remove my security(WPA/wep or whatever), it will not connect...

I had the same issue when I applied hint 39 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638
Result: couldn't connect to my network with WPA2.
After restoring the parameters everything is OK.

Right finally got it working!
Installed the Touch_X_Wireless_Draft_N_ON.cab cab and then uninstalled it and now it seems to work.
Cab can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584415
Hope that helps others out too

I had this issue too, could see my home Wifi network, but the device would just say, "Incorrect Network Key". But it was correct!
I now have it working strangely by changing router Security Options to (WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK)
Connects with no hesitation now!

my advise is disabling WEP password in both HD2 and the router.
it works perfectly.

"Incorrect Network Key" problem
Bro you made my day! I spent whole day to figure out a solution to the exact problem. I wish I had seen your reply before. When I changed my cable modem's setting as suggested and encryption to AES, it worked
