After weeks of no problems, suddenly PIE and messaging would not download when connected to my wifi at home. It may have happened after I messed with the WLAN settings, checking the box to turn off wifi after 2 minutes of not being connected.
SPB software is the only new software I have added during the period my wifi wasn't working, as best as I can recall. Oh, I also run PIE+ plug-in for PIE.
So now I uncheck it the "Turn off wifi," soft reset, and everything is back to normal, EXCEPT, get this: when I start to do the mobile speed test on dslreports, the test will start, but before it changes screens to give me the result, PIE completely shuts down! I always ran the tests before with no problems.
Any ideas?

Have had the phone for about 2 weeks now. I have had the won't wake up from sleep issues 3 times already. Mostly overnight then in the morning won't wake up. Did the Active Sync manual change and shut off active sync was not connected to the charger overnight and in the morning locked up... Strange...
But the real strange thing is the phone loses the User name and password on the My ISP settings... It is truely a completly strange thing!!! For no reason the phone can't make a data connection. No error message nothing just trys for like 1 sec to make a connection then fails and no message nada..
First time it really confused the daylights out of me. Checked the connections and low and behold the username and password were missing. Put them in and voila it worked. Then 1-2 days later they dissapear...
Anyone else seeing this? I am at a complete lose as to how its happening.
I can only think that it may be pocket weather trying to do an update using the connection manager and it hits something it does not like which forces the username and password to be erased... That is the only program trying to get at the internet on its own...
I've had the won't wake from sleep issue a few times, but I've noticed it's only when I leave wifi enabled. At first it was overnight but then I noticed it was only after like 15-30 mins in sleep mode.
As far as it losing gprs settings, that's been fine with me. I had a weird issue where every other soft reset would reset my cleartype in landscape mode reg hack back to the default setting. That's been cleared up by that tweakcl.exe that was posted in another thread.
Thanks for the feedback! It is really a strange thing!!! Must be a software issue on losing the GPRS data settings.
Today I lost the bond with my BT headset. It was there yesterday working fine and today nothing in the Bluetooth connections... WEIRD!!!
I must have ghosts/gremlins in my 8525 or senility is setting in early...
I have a question. I've only had a WM5 device for about 9 months now. I now have Cingular 8525 and for the past 5 days I have left it on overnight only to find it frozen, won't wake up in the morning and the battery drained.
I did the Activesync hack, scanned the notifications queue and did not see any notifications for midnight on the dates the device would not wake up.
Its frustrating.
I was wondering if WM5 did some form of house cleaning nightly. It seems that this house cleaning wakes up the device and somewhere it freezes on and finally the battery gives out. I don't have any backup software going on.. Nothing. I just find the device won't wake up, won't even soft reset. Plug it in for a minute, then it soft resets with a dead battery.
I am going to look at the notifications queue tonight and delete any notifications I see that are for 0:00 and tomorrow and see what happens.
I am hard resetting it Monday and re-installing if I can't figure it out. It has been really annoying these last 5 mornings.
Sometime when I reboot I see a NO GSM message. Then get no radio, then about 10 minutes later I get service. But the password and the userid on the wap data connection has been erased and my bonded blue tooth headset password is forgotten, the device is there but it prompts me to bond with a passkey when I go to intiate the headset...
Thanks for your thoughts
This has, I believe, alot to do with your microSD card - see the link below.

Thanks I'll check it out. I do have a sd card in the device. It may be the cause.
Thanks.
I use SPB Backup, to initiate automated reboots. What it does is back up to ur microsd and then initiate a reboot. i do this every second night. which is cool, keeps the fone fast.
Nightly lockups were a pain in the neck for me - I have had 2 Orange M3100 and both suffered the same nightly lockup issues.
I found that 4 things have fixed the issues and i found that all 4 have to be done
1. Fake server trick
http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=112638
But i found that not deleting the new server works fine
2. Untick Enable Advanced Network Functionality
Under Settings\Connections\USB to PC
3. Stopping Activesync running when not needed
In the notification queue there are 3 entries to start replog.exe (activesync)
you can safely delete the instruction to start after time change - This will stop Activesync from running.
NB the other 2 need to be there, do not delete any other notification of replog.exe
4. Never leave activesync running so always do a soft reset after syncing or at least before you charge the phone.
Not saying that these will work for everyone but they have worked for me on both phones.
try XBar. It incorporates cron, so you can schedule whatever program to run whenever you want it. Grap a copy of quickreset and run it. It will reset the Tytn at whatever time you set it for. I have mine resetting at 5 in the morning.
You may disable the standby mode when the unit on the external power supply. I have done, and I think it's not a big deal and it does not worth to struggle with locks on wakeups with external power!
I having a sort of similar 'morning trouble' with my TyTN, but limited to GSM connectivity. When I wake up, I am most of the cases disconnected from network with 'No service' message in the baloon. Searching for network is unsuccessful, nothing works until I soft reset the device.
Just a thought: You do have the "poweroff after x minutes" setting checked right?
I had what I thought was the same issue this morning, but it was caused by me unchecking the above setting (I do this during meetings when I'm using my BT keyboard) the previous day. This morning, while it was still dark out, I pressed the power button and nothing (the backlight was off and this actually put it into powersave mode). I pressed it again and still nothing (device came out of powersave mode with backlight still off). Because it was dark when I did this, I initially thought that I had the "won't return from powersave" problem.

I have a similar problem. Every monring when the device is still plugged on the wall charger, it hangs before I wake up. I would therefore miss a lot of calls or other notifications. I have done the defragmentation of the card, but it still doing the same thing every morning.
I have also tried all your steps above, ecept step 3, which I need your assistance as to how to delete the particular file you were referring to.
Many thanks in advance.

holy crap, i thought i was the only one that used xbar.. i have been using this program for 2 or 3 years, this is my one and only must have program!! FYI 3.2 beta was released
anyway.. on to this problem, i used to have this on my wizard, what i found was that plugging it and leaving it on would cause the lock up. Now when i plug it in i hit the power button and havent experienced it since on my wizard or on my 8525 yet. and i still get all of my push mails etc.. however i will say that if i get a call or text while im sleeping the device does wake up and the screen stays on..
another program you might want to try is SKSchema... they have several scripts that you can run, including a soft reset at a certain time. I also use the script which allows me to toggle between 3G/UMTS to save battery when I don't need 3G.
"Fake Server" did not work for me
Tried what is outlined - fake server, soft-re-boot, stopping activesync. Not sure how to delete the specific files in the notification queue.
Worked for one night! Next night back to the sleeping Tytn.
I am going to try spbTime to trigger an alarm at 12:01am and see if that helps.
TyTn does not "die" anymore!
The fake server is definitely part of the answer. As is stopping ActiveSynch. This needs to be combined with one other suggestion made on the forum of leaving the unit on when plugged in. This however has the potential drawback of "burning" the screen with the same image as when left powered on.
In addition to Activesynch, the problem is with the Notification queue (again as someone suggested on this forum). In the Suspend/Sleep mode under power, the unit cannot notify and goes into a perpetual loop.
Here is what I did that has now worked for 11 days. I installed spb PocketPlus and placed the "Screen Toggle" icon on the main screen. (According to spb, "Toggle" simply blanks the screen but does not put it to sleep/Suspend). So when I plug the unit in to charge it, I simply "toggle" the screen. The screen is blank (just like "Sleep"/"Suspend") but the unit is powered up. This has the added benefit of allowing you to listen to music with the screen blank.
I have now gotten to "toggling" even under battery power. Miraculously, my intermittent BT and Wi Fi issues have also disappeared. There may be cheaper solutions than buying Pocket Plus, but spb's Pocket Plus is convenient and has some other nice features.
Mortsaver might be a cheaper option?
Active Sync
I don't know if any of you have tried Active Sync "beta" 4.5". Its seems to have fixed many of my problems with connection and some of the issues described here.

This problem affects CRT and plasma displays (phosphor based), but not TFT.
Hi there
First time poster, shame it has to be a cry for help!!
I've got the touch HD, and I love it, however over the last week or so its started losing its HDSPA and 3G connection and dropping to phone only. At first I thought this maybe network related (T-Mobile), however it seems to do it in all locations.
I'ver noticed when it does it, the data connection slider in the settings tab, is switched to off, and as soon as I flick it back on, it picks up the signal fine (only to lose it again after a random amount of time). I've downloaded Tweak HD and set the internet to always on, however that doesn't make a difference.
I've not installed any custom roms, its the factory build, really hope someone can help
Thank you
Do you see the connection drop while the screen is on or is it after you have put the phone in standby (screen off)?
It seems to be random, I can be halfway through browsing the web and it'll drop or just coming out of standy.
The most common time seems to be when I do a send/receive on the email tab, it shows the 'H' icon then as soon as it starts syncronising, it drops out to radio then I have te re-send to get it to connect again.
I seem to recall the same thing happening to me back when I was using the stock rom. For the first week everything was fine, then the connection would drop when I turned the screen off or even when the phone was on. If you've tried setting the connection to "always on" and that does not fix the problem, then I would next try and download Schaps Advanced Config and enable/disable the different power management settings. I've suggested this to a few others for disconnect problems in standby and it seemed to work.
So, my brother and I have been running MoDaCo 1.1 core for a couple days now.
My phone has stopped connecting to the mobile network. All it says when I try to connect is "Standby for connecting to mobile network" with a green checkbox. I also notice now when I select the checkbox to connect it turns green instantly and shows that standby message. Before it would take a couple seconds to connect and turn green.
I have tried changing the mode of operation and it still doesn't want to connect. There is no 1x or EVDO in the notification bar. Wifi and GPS still work fine.
My brother's phone is still working fine. I have no idea what the problem can be.
Anybody else having this problem with MoDaCo 1.1?
I think that it has something to do with airplane mode. I enabled airplane mode yesterday, then turned it off. I didn't realize my data wasn't working after that since I don't use it while I'm at home. I am not sure if that is exactly the problem, just trying to think about how it could have stopped working.
I've noticed mine will do this at random on the MoDaCo 1.1 ROM. Every now and then I'll look at my phone and realize my EV symbol at the top is gone and I have no network connection. When this happens both the option in Settings and the small on/off widget on one of my home screens say it's still turned on. If I turn it off and back on, then I just get the "Standby for connecting to mobile network" message too. The only way I've found to get it to work again is to reboot the phone.
FYI this same problem happens to me with the stock ROM, even when it wasn't rooted. I've noticed it only happens when you turn airplane mode on, and then off.
Hmmm...I never touch airplane mode and I never saw this happen once in the month that I had the phone with the stock ROM. Maybe my problem is unrelated then.
Even when I reboot my phone it still doesn't work. I have tried messing around with the widgets turning things on and off multiple times and still nothing can get it working again.
I just went back to an old nandroid backup from before I put MoDaCo 1.1 on the phone and it seems to be working again. I'm going to put 1.1 on again. I'll use it for a while and try to recreate the problem to figure out exactly what it is.
Sprint/HTC has to fix that. it's a bug.
All day today I have been having Wi-Fi connectivity issues. None of the other devices in my home are experiencing this. It is just my OnePlus 8 Pro that keeps dropping Wi-Fi and refuses to load games. While I'm on Facebook or any other app it refuses to load. It doesn't matter what frequency I am on or what channel I am on. It is not my service provider I have already called and asked. I think something is messed up. So is anyone else having Wi-Fi problems on the OnePlus 8 Pro?
Do you have a private DNS active?
Same here

Mine will only stay connected for short periods. If I put it down and leave it for a while 9 times out of 10 it's swapped me back to mobile data. I've reached out to OnePlus to see if it's a fault or a known problem they're working on.
This is actually happening to me as well. 10.5.8 stock rooted. I see that exclamation point next to the wifi signal sometimes and nothing else in the house is having issues.
Okay so this is what you have to do to fix the problem. Click onto your Wi-Fi and let it go into the settings then swipe up on your screen and go into the app info. Clear your cache. Turn your Wi-Fi off and back on and it should work just fine
I have a much better fix. Change your MAC privacy setting to "Use device MAC" and change from default "Use randomized MAC". Wa la I haven't had a drop all day. This has been driving me crazy!
It might actually be a really simple problem with a simple solution, just i need to see a screenshot with the diagnostics, or the troubleshoot from the device why doesn't it want to keep the connection steady. You can actually learn all these things related to the wifi and some little programming things really easily, it is not that tough, trust me. I took the cisco programming course from SPOTOclub.com, during this pandemic, and in one month i was already an expert in the wireless connection and the LAN and so on and so forth.
If you're having Wi-Fi connection problems or see an Wi-Fi icon with an exclamation point Wi-Fi problem, try the solutions below:
Make sure Wi-Fi is on. Then turn it off and on again to reconnect.
Make sure Airplane mode is off. Then turn it on and off again to reconnect.
Press your phone's power button for a few seconds. Then, on your screen, tap Restart Restart.If you don't see "Restart," press and hold the power button for about 30 seconds, until your phone restarts.
