Hi all...
Not sure if anyone else has come across this, but with my 8125, I got into the habit of connecting to my lan via wifi and just leaving wifi on even when I set the 8125 to sleep. Whenever I would bring it out of sleep, the wifi would just connect again. The 8525 refuses to wake up so I end up having to do a soft reset.
Other issues... I had also gotten used to leaving gprs enabled since I have an unlimited data package. Again, with the 8125, everything was great. With the 8525, not so great. When leaving gprs enabled, the connection seems to die even though it still says I'm connected. I can't browse the internet, update Pocketweather, etc. I end up having to disable gprs for a bit and then trying again.
Anyone else have these issues? If so, did you fix and how?
TIA!
*bump*
No one else is having these issues?
i had the wifi issues you describe on my 8125 (it would not wake up after connecting to wifi and going to sleep). i have not yet used the wifi on my 8525.
Do you have a media card installed?
Do you have any apps installed to this card?
If so then, using a microSD adapter, plug it into an XP machine and run defrag on the card. This solved my problems immediately.
If this doesn't help you need to look at what apps are installed on your card and uninstall if necc.

Thanks, I'll check that out. I do have a few apps installed to the card.

I'll try that... but would you (or anybody) care to explain why this solves the freeze problem?

I have an XDA mini and a Sandisk SD WiFi card.
When I load the drivers and insert the card it works fine.
After about 20 minutes of use i disconnect and remove the card.
My issue is that when i re insert the card a couple of hours later or the next day the card will not initialize. I have to do a soft reset to get the card going again.
Anyone have any clues or ways to resolve this?????
That is true! It happened to me! But you dont need to soft reset your jam! You only have to go to the AP Browser of your card add again your access point and press apply and it will be fine! My sandisk wifi+256 works better with 1.06 than with 1.03! The good thing is that when you turn wireless off it wont turn off your bluetooth too as it used to do with version 1.03
what do you mean by AP browser?
Just click on the wifi Antenna located on the lower right of jam's screen and then click on AP Browser
The card does not initialize.....i don't get the antenna coming up. :?
i have the same problem
if i boot w/ another sd card, it doesn't recognize the wifi card
or after i switch a number of cards, same problem
works fine after soft reset tho
I have discovered the root of the problem and it seems that when i have 2 applications loaded i need to soft reset to get the wif going again. They programs are SPB Software house's GPRS monitor and weather applications. When i remove these the card works fine....as soon as they are installed again they kill my card.
I use both those programs (SPB pocket plus 2.1) and GPRS monitor and my card works fine all the time!
I use pocket plus 2.5.
I have done a hard reset and reloaded everything and the some thing occurs. I will try it again this evening and see how i go.
try 2.1! I had many problems with 2.5
the main reason for me using 2.5 as opposed to 2.1 is that it allows the integration of the gprs monitor and the weather into it tabs.
Without it the apps simply take up too much real estate on the screen.
This may be the cure to the card not initializing on a soft reset:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18327&highlight=bluetooth+today+timeout
Kind of the same problem but with the built-in bluetooth.
I seem to be having problems with the SanDisk wifi card too.
I loaded the drivers from Sandisk, inserted the card and it appeared to work okay at first.
Later when I inserted the card all I have now is a pop up box "unable to connect to the wireless card Netcard. Is it inserted?" The card little red light does not illuminate at all.
I have done a soft reset, reloaded the drivers, and removed spb pocket plus 2.5. I still have however the spb GPRS monitor.
Short of a hard reset i am stuck.
Could the card be dead?
I have a MDA Compact with UK T-mobile ROM etc.
Thanks,
Mike.
I removed 2.5 and installed 2.1 and seems to work fine now.
Keeping in mind that i did a hard reset and reloaded all my software.
After a hard reset and no other software, still no joy
Phoned Sandisk technical support, and after half an hour of reloading drivers etc the conclusion was the card had died
So it is being returned for repair/replacement.
Interestingly Sandisk tech. said that the card would be discontinued shortly due to the number of pda's with built-in wifi. Also no drivers would be developed for WM2003 SE or any future software versions :evil:
The problem is when you use the phone application either incoming or outgoing, the wifi card drivers dont get initialized again so a soft reset is needed. The wifi drivers and phone appl drivers dont interact well with each other.
What i do is i kill the phone application using some taskmanger temporarily, insert the wifi card then you will see the led blinks on the wifi card (works most of the time) after which relaunch the phone application. So no reset needed.
I use my Sandisk WiFi everyday, and don't have the problem you describe (touchwood). I do all of the things you said, and have no problems. I use GPRS Monitor 2.3.0 too (constantly running).
I use driver v3.00.04. Have you tried a hard reset and progressive install of all your apps to see the cause? (yes, it is a pain)
My Jam freezes every so often when i take out my Spectec wifi card. Has anybody else experienced this? Here is my procedure for taking the card out:
Exit all applications running, stop the radio and exit the wifi program. Then i wait about 10 seconds before removing the card. The Jam freezes after that.
I tried the E300 drivers from ampda but I could not get the Wi-Fi Companion to run properly. It would not recognize an IP even though it was connected.
I tried a search on this subject but without much success. I appreciate any help and I apologize if there is some obvious thread that I missed.
i`ve got exactly the same problem - anyone got a solution??
Just picked up a Vario II on T-Mobile. It's fantastic. Best phone I've ever had.
I have two small problems. When I connect to the Internet using GPRS/3G it works fine but if I subsequently disconnect and then try to re-connect, I can't. Sometimes I can connect twice in the same day but usually I have to switch off and back on before I can re-connect. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Also, I have installed a micro-SD memory card (512Mb) and it works fine - but I can't get my camera to save photos or videos onto the card. I can change the settings in the options - but it "forgets" my settings and resets to main memory every time. Again, any ideas how I can fix this?
Cheers.

Ok, gone and ripped my DVD (thanks to the good advice in other thread), looks ok on PC and wanna transfer it to PPC.
I installed WM5torage to the device storage (not microdrive) yesterday and it connected to my winXPhomeSP2 computer.
today however, it says upon trying to Activate wm5torage:
"cant switch to mass storage USB driver, error 1f. Maybe some running programs have files open on storage card, preventing direct access. Try to close all running programs."
Sure enough i closed them all, no luck.
Soft reseted, no luck.
Only thing changed between today and yesterday is installing TCPMP to device storage (not microdrive).
Anyone seen that error "1f" and got around it?

I'm not sure what's gone wrong for some of you, but try uninstalling WM5torage (I know I did), then soft-reset and re-install. Then soft reset again. This time activate it before you hook it up to your PC.....PC should recognize it as a Drive!
Let us know if you have any joy.
P.S. It's best to deactivate WM5torage after your data transfers...BEFORE you disconnect.
If you don't you may experience some strange behavior and will have to reset.

Hope this helps.
still shafted, cant get it to activate whatsoever
Try turning off all your today plugins, then run it.
yep, that was it. turned off SPB plugins and wm5torage works.
turn em on, wm5torage wont work.
bizarre considering they were active when it worked yesterday though...
For anyone else browsing - I occasionally get this problem when 'Craptivesync' doesn't unload properly. I have to kill AS and then start WM5 to get it going.
Something random
I have found that if the last thing i have looked at in file explorer is on the microdrive wm5torage will not work.
Simple solution is to open file explorer and go to my device, close it and then open and activate wm5torage.
Might be coincidence but may be helpful
After installing Miri's rom 6.5.x my HD2 started crashing every time I connect it to the PC whether it is on ActiveSync or DiskDrive mode. It sometimes crashes right after I connect it , but most times after I disconnect it. I have installed Steve007 and SUperboy007 Elegance theme , Midomi , ManilaBirthday , Klaxon , NetRipper's KeypadLedControl , CorePlayer 1.3.6, AppToDate, JWMD Icon Changer, TouchPal, cleanRAM, TorchButton, Chainfire HD2 3D Driver Patch, Mosko.Mobi FIM , Jaguaralani HD2 Action Screen , SRS WOWHD , Resco Explorer and Resco Photo Manager , Xtask , SPB Backup and BSB Tweaks 1.6.
Could you please tell me what is wrong ?
I did hard reset after I flashed the rom.
Anybody?
your whole device or just audio manager?
dont know if this is of interest to you:

My problem is different.My whole device crashes and needs a soft reset after I disconnect it from the PC
Have you installed any of those to the storage card? Because the storage card is not available to the phone when you connect in file mode, though it should be ok in active sync mode. Most of those things should not be installed on storage card anyway.
Also, when you connect the phone it seems to me that it starts to prepare the pre-selected option right away, so if the last time you connected in file mode, this connection will be opened as soon as you connect, and if you change to another connection, the first connection is dropped and the other opened. To avoid this you could go into the usb settings and change connection mode before inserting the usb cable.

I've found my HD2 the same problem. As most of my apps were installed on SD card, when I connect the phone to PC, it's OK until I run an app that was installed on card while the phone remains connected to PC. Afterward, the phone freezes without any word.
Just a piece of my own experience...
Are there any new hints on this item?
My HD2 also freezes, as soon as I disconnect from USB, using hard disk mode. (When using USB to ActiveSync, there are no freezes).
this used to happen to me 2 months ago, but i cant rememeber what was eactly the reason, it may have been 'a theme, task manager or as i rememeber i suspected G profile '...
nothing of these is installed on my device (beside the OEM task manager).
Thanks anyway!
Just try to give it some time. Due to the fact that windows as well as several programs use some kinda autoplay options when external storage device are connected it may take some time until you can use your device. Mine freezes for seconds to one or two minutes until it can be used.
I remember when I made a rom and it didn't include a few oems in my kitchen, it caused freezing when I tried to access the sd card when connected to the computer
have you flashed a new rom to see if the rom isn't the problem?
I only flashed the new official Vodafone 1.72 ROM.
Exactly same kind of problem in HTC touch HD
I know I am discussing this in HTC touch HD2 forum, but I have HTC Touch HD and facing exactly same kind of problem. Have Upgraded from 6.1 to 6.5. Worked flawlessly for 5 months until now. Phone freezes in the Today screen right after connecting to computer thru USB and have to resurrect by resetting. I have Winterface UI installed. It used to work fine before. Please help.
I have noticed after many many efforts and after reading many subjects about the freezing issue, and after almost dumping the HD2 in the garbage, that the reason for this problem is the SD card 32 fat. I have switched a couple of 8GB cards and the system freeze starts within minutes. Then I copied every thing onto a 4G card 16fat and the mobile is flying since then.
Also avoid spb-traveler as it has a conflict with the device making it very slow and full of errors.
Still a problem...
I was excited when I saw that someone had posted on this subject, as I too am plagued by my phone crashing when its connected to USB to the pc. Unfortunately, the post was from a long time ago. I'm using the newest T-mobile rom 3.14.531.1 and it occurs EVERY time I plug the phone into my Windows 7 computer or my Mac...
I don't specifically believe that it's related to the SD card itself, because I can connect in Android via USB and this isn't a problem. I suppose, this could be an issue if it's just related to WM 6.5. My next option (my phone is not with me currently) is to remove the SD card and plug in the phone and see if the same thing happens. If it still occurs, I believe that would 100% rule out the SD card as the issue.

Well, I removed the SD card and when I plugged it into a computer it STILL acted weird. The symptoms seemed different though. First, I can't hit the start button. Well, I can physically touch it, but it does not respond at all. Nor does the start icon at the top take me to the start menu. Also, I tried to go into settings > Menu > All Settings to then turn off sense to see if that was the problem, and it won't even let me in to the 'all settings.'
I guess next step is to just do a hard reset in hopes that this fixes the problem, that or move to a custom rom. I just don't really want to do either because I have a lot of stuff I'd rather not tweak to get to where my phone is at again.
If anyone has any ideas, please help.
Thanks
Hey
Just turn the data sync options like fb and twitter to off. ANd you phone will be running in no time. JUST went to the same problem today and found turning data options off as the best solution.
