EDITED: I'm running the 2.17 basic ROM from the ftp site and I love it, except for the fact that IE will not load any pages through WIFI or ActiveSync! BUT... Agile Messenger works perfect through each!
All of the above works fine through GPRS (slow though!)
The stock ROM (1.08 I believe) did not have this problem at all. I've read all over the place that this 2.17 is the best ROM out there, most stable, etc.
:x
Please help
run your 8125 under the faucet. theres probably dust inside that needs to be washed out.
LOL

@Tweker: DO NOT DO THIS!!! It is just a joke.
@Everyone else: With a dim bulb like Tweker reading these forums we must be more careful about our jokes.
Yeah, that was a complete waste of a post. LOL
Anyhow, here's an update:
Agile connects and operates just fine through GPRS, WIFI, and ActiveSync. But PIE wont even load a page through WIFI or ActiveSync, it will only work through GPRS (very slow).
That is very odd, since Agile connects perfectly fine!
As I said before, this was never a problem on the 1.08 stock ROM. It's been a problem on almost all the other ROMS I've tested (2.17, 2.21, 2.25)
Are there any registry keys that tell PIE where to look for default connection?
The device connects just fine to my WIFI, and like I said, Agile Messenger connects and runs perfect. So this isnt the standard problem that a lot of people have posted about their WIFI not working at all, and/or trying to use proxy.
HELP!?
Another update:
I'm still having this problem. Cannot find a fix. PIE still will not work through the usb active sync or WIFI!!
But Agile Messenger does!!
I've tripple checked all settings. WLAN is set to "The Internet". Network Cards are set to "The Internet". ActiveSync is set to "The Internet".
Those settings were set that way on other ROMS and I never had a problem... I'd really like to stay on this ROM because it's my favorite by far! Except of coarse for this little problem!
Come guys - help!!
Internet Explorer will not load any pages through WIFI or ActiveSync!
Agile Messenger does connect and works perfect through each!
Any ideas??

Hi,
yesterday I field-tested HitchHiker (latest available version) on my Wiz, and it worked quite well. The only problem - one I had already experienced with the earlier ROM version - is that after using it once the Wizard begins behaving strange. Namely:
- Slower menu response
- Softkeys sometimes not working
- The power button takes several tries to actually get the device off
Is this just me, or is somebody else experiencing the same problems?
I'm beginning to think the problems come from some inter-app incompatibility (who knows... maybe HitchHiker doesn't like the G-protocol enabler, or something like that)... any suggestion/solution?
Also, I'm welcoming suggestions for other wardriving apps WITH a sensible option to connect to found APs (WiFiFoFum, in example, is very stylish but won't allow you to select a specific AP to connect to when you want to)...
Thank you in advance for your help!
Well, I don' know about hitchhiker but like you, I came to be very dissapointed with wififofum so I switched to Wifi companion and I'm very happy with it, no glitches whatsoever
Wifi companion was pretty good but my trail ran out but after I sorted out the Hitchhiker crashing problem (make sure you register your MSN details, although you dont actually have to connect) I havent had any issues at all, seems quite stable.
Huh?
Are you saying that adding a profile in Msn Messenger makes Hitchhiker stable?
It makes no sense at all... but since even HH's installation is crazy, I'm trying it anyway...
I can vouch for that post about Pocket MSN registering.
I don't know what it is.
When hitchhikers goes to connect to a wifi point, it tries to connect to google to verify connectivity on the wifi, and then it sends up a notification saying connected.
Just before that notification pops up, my hitchhiker would always crash. That is until I filled out Pocket MSN info (After seeing to do that in another thread)
I know it's crazy. Doesn't make any sense what so ever.
Worked for me
Just tried it and it works fine. Just another way MSN is encroaching on our lives :lol:
He's pretty unstable, always mumbling to himself...I'm afraid he might try to off me further down the road :shock:
I can't believe it, I just read this topic..I never got HitchHiker to work..now I simply registered my pocket msn, and hichthiker connected! without a soft-rest or anything HitchHiker depends on pocket MSN!? its unbelievable.
I always loved the simplicity of the prog, but after connecting acociating etc, the connection was lost. Just register your MSN and the damn program works..VERY strange!
On my 8125 I've been running the first test 2.25 for a while, nothing seemed to work properly. So I flased back to 2.17 basic from the ftp.
I installed agile messenger and it works perfect through usb pass through. When I disconnected the usb it instantly signed me off, forced gprs to connect, and signed me back on! Now this is how it's supposed to work!! I love it. This is the first time I've ever seen this work properly!! And I've played around with most the ROMs here.
Here's the problem...
I saw the new official 2.25 release and flashed to it, thinking it would be the best out there... and now the above doesnt work. In fact, if I pull the usb cable agile just sits there like it's still online. It takes many many minutes before it slowly starts noticing that there is no connection.
This is unacceptable, so I flashed back to the good ole 2.17 basic. Guess what?? agile still will not disconnect/reconnect after i pull the plug on usb.
I really wish there was a stable fix for this. I mean, it should notice the connection is gone, and force gprs to connect!
Any help/suggestions? Registry edits to make this happen??
Anyone? Any ideas?
How could this have worked great, and now not work? I flashed to the same exact 2.17 rom, installed the same exact version of agile, both from my pc.
Weird!
Does agile not use some sort of heartbeat to detect connecton status? If not, it should! Messenger programs should have some way of detecting connection drop, and then force a reconnect...
I'm guessing this is just an Agile problem! It just doesnt recognize when a connection is dropped. It should force another connection (GPRS) when needed. Hopefully they'll correct this in the final release!
Hey guys,
Strange problem I got here... I connect to internet via WiFi, use any internet app without any problem, except for Pocket IE and Outlook. I have no idea why is that so because few weeks ago all that worked fine!
I suppose Pocket IE doesn't know about existing connection, it doesn't seem to try to use it (no "Locating..." or this sort of stuff), just "Connecting..." for 0,25s, then "0 kB" for 0,25s, that's it!
Maybe you've experianced sth like that, I don't feel like hard-reseting my Wizard again...
Thx, TroLoo
Get Net Front for PPC v3.3 Much better.
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.
Hi, I recently got my Topaz a couple of days ago, I have always had winmo devices from the start and am loving the Topaz, I instantly upgraded it to a 6.5 Rom from this site.
I am having issues with my Wifi not working properly, it connects but the internet traffic doesnt go anywhere, i have tried a tracert from the device and it doesn't get past my internet router.
Other devices on my wireless network are fine and my old winmo device worked fine.
GPRS connects fine and resolves pages and email etc.
Anyone have any ideas ? Its driving me crazy !
Thanks
Hi,
it's quite difficult to help you without knowing your ROM and radio versions,anyway I solved a similar problem by setting to "Maximum Performance" the slider in Wifi's Power Management tab. I suggest to try different radios, in my experience the latest two absolutely require this setting to work properly
Thanks man, that setting worked a treat !

Frustrating...

What are your symptomes? Do you at least have a "connected" icon but cannot surf the web or upload weather forecast? Did you try other internet accesses (other modems,routers..)? I know it's ridiculous that a stock device beahves like that..maybe you should consider to try an upgraded radio.

Thanks for your reply.
The TD2 tries to connect but continually fails. I have the same settings on my MDA Touch (HTC ELF) which has flawless WIFI performance. How do I upgrade the radio (which might improve my TD2 in other good ways)? I didn't think the radio would have any influence over the 802.11 network adaptor.

Ps. After finishing typing this I checked WIFI and managed to connect for a nearly a minute...
Try to change a rom (And radiorom too). I noticed that Tom Condom's ROM have some problems with Wi-Fi (On my device), Rx on it is 54mb, Tx is laggy 1mb.
Wi-fi on Shadowline's rom works pretty good - rx and tx both are 54mb.
P.S. My radio is 3.44.25.27
