wifi help, yes again i know...

i read pages of threads on this forum, but im not getting nowhere fast!
I'll start at the begining, mda t-mobile original rom, working as it should, upgraded the rom several diff ones and not working, tryed the origainal rom and not working!
rom now on the mda,
ROM version 2.8.7.1WWE
radio version 01.13.10
protocal version 4.0.13.24
ExtROM version 2.8.7.101
ive intsalled DJVW WLAN 302.11g Activator 1.0.cab
Now the problem, when the wifis switched on it takes awhile to even detect the network, my old ipaq would be conected as soon as switched on?
when it does detect the network it trys to conect for about 2mins then gives up ( in same room as router )
it wont conect but i can see the mda has downloaded about 20kbs of info, but can get no further?
Am i missing something here?
Also where do you go to check you have the latest drivers, updates, newest rom etc
Thanks for taking the time to read this :wink:

Hello,
I have found that i am having similiar problems with Wifi after updating to the latest qtek 9100 ship ROM on my qtek 9100 device.
the device can "see" the WIFI but it will not/connot "use" it.

Ya same here. I can turn on the wifi but it doesnt connect anymore ! I know fopr sure that there are at least 4 wifi connections around me normally but I dont see any of them !

I had this problem but was able to fix it by giving my router my DNS settings (that I got from my ISP).
For some reason, certian routers will not serve the MDA with any sites unless it has the IP address of your ISP's DNS server.
This should take care of your problem.
If this doesn't work, go to your public library and see if you can get on their wifi. This will help you troubleshoot to see if there's actually a hardware problem.

Actually the problem i had is unusual in that i could connect to any open WIFI zone aswell as our work and home one, BUT it will not carry any traffic AT ALL. Only uses GPRS NO wifi.
I actually hard reset the device yesterday and ensured that Push email was switched off - WIFI is functioning fine now.
There is still one problem. When i cannot the device to my PC for an active sync. It will sync with the PC but throw an error when trying to sync with exchange server via the WIFI.
The error on the PC active sync is
"The server could not be reached. This can be caused by temporary network conditions
SUpport code:85002003"
It also throws an error on the device.
This is a right pain and did not happen on the previous version of the ROM. It means i have to do a seperate exchange server sync when disconnected from the PC. ANyone have ideas on how to fix this.
Incidently, another thing I have noticed with the NEw ROM is that contact lookup is noticeably slower - sometimes I have to wait for a few seconds
before the contact i am searching for actually comes up. This is in comparison to the immediate results of searches in my old ROM.
Jass

right ive reload a rom, and the wifi works, then after adding each of my aplications, ive tested the wifi conection, i found wififofum being the problem.
now i know the developer of wififofum has an wizard himself , that runs this aplication no problems, ut on mine it seems to just freeze the wifi, giving a rssi signal of 90 no matter how close or far im from the source?

Finally I got the latest updated 8125 from Cingular

I am very new to this forum. Well, I exchanged my 8125 and received a newer one interestingly updated with ROM version 2.25.11.1 WWE, ROM date 5/11/06, Radio Version 02.25.11, Protocol version 4.1.13.12, ExtROM version 2.25.11.102. Very fast, especially with connecting to router. I had problem with connecting to my private network with my previous phone so I called warranty people and got the old phone exchanged. Then newer version is lot better. Another funny thing I noticed is, I can not connect to my private router, when I don't have any service. This means that Cingular ROM has something that prevents the phone to connect to private router if we are out of the service area. In another way, we have to have data plan ( pay per use or whatever ) to use the wi-fi inbuilt in our phones. Which I think is not fair. What if you are out of the coverage area and you still want to get connected to wifi.
I am just wondering, is there any way to get over with this. I can assume that if we unlock the phone then there shouldn't be any restrictions as I expressed.

actually you dont have to have the phone part on. i turn flight mode on on my 8125 and i have cingular too and it'll hook up to our wireless network with no problem. thats what i use to listen to sirius on my phone. i turn it off that way it wont bother me or the music. you just have to mess around with the settings.

I have the 8125 with the latest ROM. Before I had to do a hard reset, for unrelated reasons, I had to delete the GPRS connection in order to get my wifi to connect. After doing the hard reset I've had no problems connecting to my wifi, even with the radio on, and without having to disable GPRS. Phone and all other functionality is working exactly as it should.

ActiveSync slowing up Vodaphone V1605

Hi, I have a user who's Vodaphone V1605 (Hermes) slows down to a snails pace when using it. If I get him to check the running programs the only thing running is activesync. Once we kill activesync the PPC speeds up again. If we do a Soft reset Activesync starts automatically.
Is there anyway to stop Activesync starting automatically?
I have searched the internet and cannot find any tweaks or hacks to do this as it is becoming quite annoying.

O2 XDA Orbit GPRS and WiFi issue!

Hello
I have posted this on the Artemis board, but got no reply.....
I have an O2 XDA Orbit that uses Push Email and exchange server syncing. Recently I have noticed that if I turn flight mode on at night and then off in the morning, it requires a soft reset to get the system to sync my email and calendar via GPRS. Up to a month ago this was not an issue and it has manifested itself on both WM5 and WM6. The server is running on 2003, but was upgraded to 2007 (at which point all fell down!!). Server was rebuilt with original 2003 settings and it works, but I get this niggly problem in the mornings when trying to sync on my way into work. Reception is good, but the GPRS will not open a session until the phone has been reset.
The following information is taken from the device:
ROM version - 3.4.206.2 WWE
ROM Date - 18/4/2007
Radio Version - 02.67.90
Protocol Version - 4.1.13.28
ExtROM Version - 3.4.206.101
The irritation with the WiFi is that the option to close a WiFi session from the top bar on the screen has been removed and now you need to go into the Comms Manager to close a session.....anyone worked out a way of retrieving the old functionality?

Wifi isn't working after upgrade to WM6

Hi.. please forgive me, but I've been searching this forum for a couple hours, and tried everything I have read.. but my Wifi still doesn't work.
I have a Cingular 8125. It was running the factory WM5 yesterday, and my Wifi worked fine. (wifi is the main reason I got this phone).
I upgraded my ROM to the latest Hornet (wow, it is FAST - thanks!) and everything works great but the wifi.
IPL: 2.21
SPL: 2.21
GSM: 2.13.11
OS: 11.0.4.0
I tried the Hard Reset method and the other tricks I found on here... i'm starting to think I might need to upgrade my IPL/SPL too? If I go back to WM5, will my wifi work again?
Thanks for any hints you can provide.

Always making things
Make it men! maybe it works for you but I can tell you that IPL and SPL dont change the WIFI performance maybe your wifi radio is dead...
if you want to upgrade your ipl and spl try the Aku 3.08 for wizard and download that rom search exactly with that words on thi web... but remember its only for G3 (G4has too much issues and bricked problems)
post your results... and remember unlock upgrade and downgrade are recomended in XP, flash with your batt full charged and please downgrade to an original first before upgrade a coock ROM.

I don't want to try upgrading the IPL/SPL.... if I can't get my Wifi to connect under WM6, then I will go back to WM5.
My wifi radio isn't dead - it connects to my home wireless router and gets an IP address... but I can't call up any web pages using Explorer or Opera. However, web pages come up fine using EDGE/GPRS (I have AT&T). It's almost like the WM6 isn't configured right, to let Explorer know that it can use the Wifi (when wifi is connected).
thanks

Does you have the conection set?
Maybe on conections you have set all the ports edge gprs and others to let the IE in from that ports... maybe you can conect via wifi changing the advanced conections setting to not use proxy server or change from the first option from My ISP to My work network... i did it once and it works!

OK, I have a little bit more information.
The Wifi connection *IS* connecting me to the Internet, for about 15 seconds after it starts up. Using PING, I can ping the IP address of my Wizard for about 15 seconds, before the replies cease. I can also start up the Wizards Internet Explorer and call up a web page or two, before it stops working.
So, I can turn off Wifi, and turn it back on, and surf the internet for about 10-15 seconds at a time.
Does anyone know of a registry setting or something that is controlling this? Why doesn't my Wifi connection stay "active"?
Again, this issue is occuring with the latest "Hornet 5" ROM which I downloaded on Friday.
Thanks

Well.... today I went to a sports bar to watch the NFL. I turned on my wifi, and guess what? It worked perfectly. I stayed in touch with my friends via instant messaging for the entire game, no problems.
So... My wifi still doesn't work from home (it was working fine last Friday), but since I really don't "need" it to work from home, I guess I can live with things the way they are. I will spend a little more time troubleshooting my home network, but for now let's just say this is "case closed".
Thanks!

OK, one more entry, just to perhaps help anyone else who might be having this problem.
Still perplexed about why my Wizard's Wifi would not connect to my home network, I went out to my back porch and scanned for other networks in my neighborhood. My Wizard found 3 or 4. After 10 minutes of this, I came back inside and tried to connect to my own home network again.... IT WORKED!
I suspect that there is some flag or registry setting that is set by WM6 and/or ActiveSync during the re-flash process.... WM6 must initially set this flag to something like "this network can only connect via ActiveSync". After I scanned a bunch of wifi networks, at some point this flag got reset and WM6 let me connect to my home network via wifi.
