Does wifi turn on? (Does the left LED blink like it does when wifi is turned on?)
If not, then it could be related to a cingular cab - did you install any of the cabs from the original cingular extended rom?
left led does blink.
ive also gotten as far as picking up a network.
i have tried everything, i cannot get my wifi to work at all. i dont know whats up.
the settings i needed (which i replicated for the new rom) on the old rom, was this
I would select networks, MY work network, this connects to the internet.
then in the WLAN adapter i had to manual enter my dns servers.
thats pretty much it to get it to work, but now with this rom it wont
Similar or different problem? Not sure. PARTLY SOLVED!

Hi NG,
I updated my O2 XDA mini s (German) from OS 1.3.4.2 to 2.16.9.1. (Radio 02.07.10 included). To be honest, I was never really happy with the quality and reliabilty of the radio. 4 out of 5 times it did work, but once in a while, especially while roaming, it gave me a headache. After unlocking and updating to the new version, WLAN looks to be working quite well, at least for connecting to access points, but it seems that it can't browse external websites. VXutils give back a socket error trying to access external (outside my home network) websites/Email.
Internal (inside my home network) connections work like a charm. Termincal Services client accesses my Win2003 Server no problem and I can also connect to a website hosted on my internal server. (http://servername:port).
Whenever I try to connect to external sources, the browser stops afer not successfully "locating" the respective server. On the other hand locating might not be the problem. Performing a ping to an external site with VXutils properly picks up the right ip address but cannot send/receive ping!
GPRS works as supposed. Can connect to sites with no problem.
May be somebody experiences the same problem or, even better, has a solution.
By the way I used @Work for all possible settings. The work profile is set up for both connection types.
Besides that, the new rom is really nice
EDIT Well after some time playing around, I have solved the problem or better the problem partly disapeared. In 'Settings' 'Network Adapters' I switched from Use server-assigned IP address to manual and entered IP, DNS, Gateway, etc. With these settings it everything worked after a soft-reset. Going back to DHCP and soft-reset, it first worked an now it doesn't anymore. At least there is a work around and I'm trying now some other things. All machines currently work with the DHCP settings correct. I will check and keep you updated if the problems comes from Server settings or from something in the PDA EDIT

i get as far as NETWORKS being detected. when i select one of the 3 that i pick up, i cannot connect. My own, pops up, and i get as far as entering the network key, then it tries to connect and doesnt.
this happens WITH or WITHOUT the DNS servers manualy entered in. anyone with some knowledge care to chime in and assist? thanks!

I can't get my WiFi card to initialize. After the upgrade, the card stays off. LED doesn't light. Is there a driver somewhere I could try to load?

did you change your Wizard to 802.11g. I found that once I did that, the card stopped working.. the setting was 4, but when i changed it to 8 it stopped worked..
it was some registry key. 802dotg or something ..
sorry i cant rember excatly.

Danrw. Concerning the registry settings, after patching the os I did change the registry settings. One already existed with the right value as shown in the 802.11g thread. The other one, DotG, I added.
After that, it did pick up a only G router!
As far as setting DNS manually. It is not enough to just cange the dns setting. You have to enter all the information and even after a soft-reset it takes some time to have the settings picked up... Use vxUTIL 'Info'-Screen to check the current settings. I did test wlan before and after applying packages from the extended rom. No change on reliability or performance on WLAN IMHO.
As far as I understand. Your problem is actually connecting to the router/Access Point. For testing please disable all security on your router and do a soft-reset before trying to access. Also since we have heard of several problems with model 9100 not realizing if an access point is available or not. Also change the SSID of your router and if possible the MAC Address of the router.
Don't forget to soft-reset and first try SDIO Adapter inyour pda with auto IP/DNS/etc. settings.
Another thought. Embarassing, but once I messed around with trying to get a new pda online and forgot to disable the mac filter settings in the router, which resulted in being able to see the active router but it didn't let me connect. After those two days I was missing a lot of hair.
Good luck

I did but only the minimum. I trimmed down their install to the basics. I narrowed it down to one of two CABs. Either the gprsstall or EnableEONS. I didn't install either of those and I"m now back up and running. Of course, I still can't get it to prefer WiFi to EDGE.
I had experienced the same problem with home wifi network after upgrading my rom. I saw in my laptop that the key was set to 2. I went to the network cards, clicked on my wifi network, and under Network Key swithed the value from 1 to 2. I can now connect to my wifi network at home.

I do not know if my solution will work for you because I upgraded my rom to 2.16 but lets give it a try. I use d-link DI-524 wifi router. Start menu > Settings > Connections (tab) > Network Cards [I must admit earlier today when I was trying to connect my k-jam to the wifi, I did get as far as it asking me for my authentication code and afterwards it timed-out] --> select your wifi network [at this moment as I'm trying this out my wifi on my k-jam is off] --> Network Key (tab) > it was the key index that I had to change from 1 to 2. Before doing this though, go to your router's wireless configuration page through your webbrowser and make sure the keyX (it looks for d-link this can be from key1 to key4 or at least on mine) and make sure the key index you select on your mda is the same number that is used on your router for code authentication.
Also I noticed after resetting my k-jam that I could get connected to my wifi but I could not surf, in wifi setting on my k-jam I had to hit renew ip and then I was able to surf.
I hope this works for you. Good luck and many late nights.
no luck with this for me
even tried removing wep all together. tried multiple routers.
i can detect the ssid's, but i cant connect to them. times out on the connect.
Mine worked no problem...you may already have had this suggestion but here was my process.
Unlocked with lokwiz
Upgraded
Reset before extended ROM apps installed
Installed total commander
deleted extended ROM
Upgraded again
i re-installed the CINGULAR ROM and WiFi works like a charm
......any clues?
Here's what I ended up finding out for mine. First, at the time I wrote this, I was running the 2.16 ROM. Now I'm running the 2.17, but the fix is the same with either.
Don't load the cingular add-ins GPRSSTALL or EONS. I narrowed it down to those two that were causing the issue. So, the only ones I install now are CingularMMSAccount, EdgeIcon, TimeStyle, WiFiRate4, and SmartDialingEnable. Thats it, and its all I've seen to be necessary from Cingular's little bundle 'o fun. Everything else I haven't found interferes with my ability to use the phone at all.
Hope this helps...

New problem this morning....
All of a sudden the phone won't connect to my wifi access point....it's been connecting and working fine for a couple of weeks, but this morning had lost the connection details for my home access point!
Anyone had similar issues? or know of a reason why?
cheers

This happens to me a lot. It seems to be if the router is switched off and it makes a number of attempts to access it and when it gives up it 'forgets' the settings. Anyone else got any ideas?
Save WM6 Wi-fi access point settings
I have posted this on another thread but will repeat it here as this seems to be the same issue.
My understanding is if there is any problem connecting to Wifi, WM6 deletes the Wifi settings for that access point. I think my friends have come up with a quick solution to this problem. Wifi Hero is a little application you can get for $2 that saves and restores your wifi settings using standard Windows Mobile APIs. Search for "Wifi Hero" and you should find it or the direct link is http://www.wireless-apps.net/desc.php?d=d1&id=246823

Hi, i have a very strange and unpleasant problem with my Hermes.. At home I am using my wifi connection to receive mails etc. My Hermes connects to the wifi network normally, but when I want to use internet connection (IE, Outlook..) it will start GPRS. I have to turn wifi of and back on to be able to use it. It is pretty annoying as you can imagine. Now I am using latest Tytn WWE rom, but i have had same problems with T-mobile rom.
My old Wizard is connecting normally and has never done something stupid like this Do anyone have some clue what may cause this strange behaviour?
Have you confirmed that the home WiFi connection is configured as 'Connects to: The Internet'? In comm manager turn off the WiFI then go into settings/connections/Network Cards and you will be presented with all the networks used or previously found by your TyTn wireless card.
Select you named home wireless connection and you will be presented with the screen "Configure Wireless Network". Make sure that the entry against "Connects to:" i sset to The Internet - then press OK (top right), then dismiss the settings windows.
Try the connection again - it worked for me a while back. If already set at "connects to the Internet" then try deleting the settings and creating the entry again: press and hold on the connection (your home WiFi) then select "Remove Settings". Then turn on networked and set it up again remembering to select "connects to the Internet" when asked during the configuration of the WiFi connection. Of course you will again be prompted for a network key if you have a secure wireless router.
- if you all this then sorry but you didn't say. Hope it helps
I have already set it to connect to the internet few days ago. But i will try to remove those settings and do it again.. Hope it will solve the problem.
Thanks for your help. I'll report later..

Mine does the same thing and I am set the same way, even though it connects to GPRS etc it still uses the WiFi (ran speed test on IE to confirm)
Hi
I hear good things about Danielherrero's bandswitch app. This is a long thread and I think there are revisions along the way so best read through a sample of the pages:

Whether it will solve your particular issue I don't know - but worth a look?

Hmm.. I am already using that band switcher. Really a great program but unfortunatelly it cannot solve this issue.
But.. I can see a light at the end of the tunnel I've deleted my network settings and than set it again. And now it seems to be working! Hmm.. cannot be quite sure if it isn't just lucky day, but I've tested it more than 10 times and it seems to be OK.
Anyway... thanks for your help
Hopefully it will continue to work.
PS Is "cancer man" still alive or have the ciggies killed him off?
Mike
Glad to hear it worked OK. I too found it was teh only way to get mine initially working - since deleting and recreating the link it has worked OK (3 mths plus)
Aaah.. I heard that cancer man is still alive. But.. trust no one Hope he will not follow the Marlboro Man..
And by the way.. After few hours it still seems to be working. Thanks guys!!
Out of a month of use it has happened to me only once. I just turned off wifi then turned it back on. I believe the tytn is not recognising that it has a valid Internet connection.
Anytime I turn off wifi connection and try to connect with 3g after it there´s no application can get any access to internet.
Even softreset or deleting and typing new ISP settings don´t work except hardreset until I turn on wifi and turn it off again.
Really weird!
Can anyone help me please!?
Thanks!
I had an issue recently that sounds very similar. I altered some wi-fi settings, specifically to have a fixed IP address on my home network and when I was away from my network, 3G stopped working.
My fix was to use the wizard to set up my data access again from scratch (Start - Settings - Connections - Connections Setup). After this, everything worked again. Not sure if this'll help, but might be worth a try.
I still don't know why one affected the other, but if I go anywhere near my data settings, it happens and is repeatable.
Problem fixed with original rom
Thanks for answer, but I tried your advice couple of times before.
No result!
but its the same, I have static IP at home too and connection works fine but after disabling wifi no internet connect available.
Now I flashed original HTC rom and I have no problem anymore. It has to deal with the cooked roms of Dutty (both versions v1.7 and v1.8 extreme).
I would like use one of these roms but I have to fix that!
I've had the problem and was fixed by - in connections... "Programs that access the internet use:" was "My work network" -ie wifi.. instead should be "Internet over GPRS"
changing it fixed it.
i find it annoying it should have "Try wifi first, if no access THEN use the Expensive data plan"
I´ve had tried that options too...no result!
But it has to deal with your hint I think. Maybe my settings don´t effect like it does with your handheld. Maybe something´s wrong with writing settings in registry?
I have a same issue.
there´re lot of people having that same issue....
Maybe Dutty by himself is able to give us answer?!
I´ve flashed Dutty´s 1.9 now but I have same issue again.
What´s wrong with my settings?
Same settings worked very well in original htc rom.
What the heck is going on?
Hey all, just registered on this forum (heard a lot about it )
My main problem with this phone is, my data connections are seriously messed. I mean, the phone is brilliant no doubt about it but this darn internet problems are getting me more and more frustrated. Basically, my internet was working fine without Wi-Fi, Twitter updated would come smooth, YouTube videos took a couple of seconds to buffer, Opera was fast etc. etc.
Now here's the problem, I am not sure if this is connected to the Wi-Fi or not, but the FIRST ever time I used my Wi-Fi, after I came off the problems started. Now YouTube videos take minutes to buffer (a 10 second vid took 2 mins yesterday), Twitter takes forever to update and Opera, well let's just say Google takes so long to load I have to close the browser. Are there any fixes and has anyone else been experiencing this problem? At one point it got so bad I could not take ANY phone calls or texts. Vodafone has assured me it is not a fault on their behalf as their signal should be super strong in my area so what is the problem? I hope someone can help me as it is really frustrating!
Thanks
Anyone have any ideas as to what is the problem?
It seems not many are viewing this
Sorry if I have frustrated any of you or this is quite a popular topic, I just haven't found any topics of the sort yet. If anyone could care to guide me to such a topic would be appreciated...thanks.
My suggestion: simplify and diagnose. Do a hard reset, set up your 3G connection (don't set up Wifi just yet), and make sure that works OK. If not, then it's probably your provider's fault. If 3G's OK, try adding Wifi.
Bro, I assure you I've done around 5 hard reset (even forgot to back up one time )
Resets don't seem to work, I've checked around on a few of the major networks forums and a few others are having this problem. Could it possibly be that it is the phone? Or have other HTC HD2 users never experienced this?

Im on Vodafone UK and havent seen this happening.
Have you checked your access point settings?
No I haven't, how would I check this?
I went on connections and it said programs using the internet should connect using "My ISP", is that the case for you Audio Oblivion?
No mine is different but that is just the title of your internet connection profile so it doesnt actually matter.
What does matter is the connection setup itself.
Go to:
Start->Settings->Menu->All Settings->Connections->Connections
Here you should see the menu page for your ISP settings.
Click on "Manage Existing Connections"
On this screen highlight the entry you have (there should be only one) and click on "edit"
the name for the connection i have set as "Contract Internet"
modem is " Cellular Line [GPRS] "
Access Point name is "internet"
User name is "web"
Password is "web"
dmain leave blank.
click on the "advanced" button
make sure that "use server-assigned IP address" i selected here and on the second (servers) tab
Click ok and finish.
Thats the manual setup but your device should also do it automatically. To force the automatic setup:
Start->settings->menu->all settings->connections-> connection setup
hope that helps!
When I'm on manage existing connection there are 3 selections. "Auto Pick", "PAYG WAP" and "Contract WAP". That may be the problem? It is using WAP instead of internet?
***Edit : This is extremely weird, when I try to create a new connection using the name "Contract Internet" it says that name already exists, but I can't choose it...wtf? Anyone care to help? I think we may have found the root of the problem

Yep... sounds like you found the issue.
For starters... are you on contract or pay as you go?
Secondly... on manage existing connections... which entry is highlighted by default... auto? payg or contract?
Well, I created that connection and that fails too
What the hell could be the problem. May I point out that this was all a sudden problem, only started occuring after I connected to a Wi-Fi network for the first ever time!
I am contract for sure, with an unlimited data plan. This is so annoying, the phone is so good but problems like this make me think it sucks, even though it may not be the phone
not sure why wifi would have caused this but it certainly does sound as if your connections are messed up... you shouldnt even be using wap.... and it sounds as if the normal contract internet settings have become hidden somehow.
anser the questions in my previous post and i can try and get this sorted for you.
ok... if you are on contract then the settings i posted previously are the correct ones.
What i would suggest you do is try the auto setup as per my previous post also.
once this is done soft reset and report back!
There is no option for auto setup for me :S
I just come to the main screen where it says
"MY ISP"
Add a new modem connection
Manage Existing Connections
"My Work Connection"

Any ideas as to what i should do next?

The auto setup is one step before that screen... under all settings->connections
before you hit the connections icon there should be another icon next it that says "connection setup"
Nope, unfortunately I don't find that screen. Could it be because of the new ROM? It's on the latets official ROM I downloaded, as now I notice I get the vodafone logo when load up the phone from a soft reset.

oh... it could be that Vodafone have cooked in their settings and removed the auto config in their new rom... im not sure as i dont use it. Perhaps someone else can confirm this?
Going back to my question before... when on manage existing connections screen... which entry is selected by default; autopick? PAYG? or contractWAP?
Contract WAP as far as I am aware...I guess I'll have to ring them up and talk to someone in a call centre in a third world country that are probably being paid 3p an hour.
no you dont need to do that mate...
if you setup a new connection using the settings i posted previously you will be fine.
you dont have to call it "contract Internet" you can call it whatever you want... the only thing thats matters is the settings are correct and it is selected as default.
