I have a problem with my Wi-fi Radio, not the normal "cannot get Wi-Fi Switched on" or "connects to AP but gets no IP" but something quite more serious.
I removed all AP settings from Wi-Fi Settings, so it is as if there was no AP installed before on the wizard. Then after switching on the Wi-Fi the Wi-Fi icon appears at the top of the screen with the tower and it's circle around it and the 2 arrows running from side to side. Then the wizard goes beep and shows another tower next to it (meaning that it got a AP) I enter the passkey for my AP and then it starts to connect.....only it doesn't connect it says in WI-Fi settings "Connecting" and then says "Unavailable" after about 6s
This only started about a week ago and happens with different AP's with security enabled and disabled, and different Roms (mUn aRTM and Core2n) as well
Yesterday I had it connect once to the AP whilest on charge and Wi-Fi on but after removing the charger and the wizard went into standby I could not get the Wi-Fi to connect again....
If anyone (with Working Wi-Fi) would be so kind as to give me an Reg Export of the [HKLM\Comm\TNETWLN1] key so that I can get mine back to standard. (I've tried every regedit known to man to fix this and not sure I put everything back the way it was)
Does anyone else have or had this problem??
Oh Well
Oh Well,
It looks like a faulty radio afterall, Took a friend's Wizard installed the same ROM and it connects without problems...
I guess that the money spent on the AP is now wasted since the Wizard was 90% reason why I bought the AP at home...

I hope someone can help as this is sending me potty . For the past three weeks I have been trying to set up my XDAII to work with a Safecom SDIO Wifi card. It works fine outside the house, can pick up public networks, can pick up the work network in work - no problem. It can even pick up my home wifi router and connects (with WEP key) - lets me access for one or two pages, then locks me out with the blank page problem (discussed elsewhere on here).
I have tried switching off WEP protection on the router - connects no problem for first page or so, then no connection from then on.
In the Safecom utility, it never lets me set the AP (nothing comes up when clicking the button, even where I know the system works and is not WEP protected).
I have installed Hitchhiker and that again picks up the network, then keeps "looping" (my term) trying to connect and assign an IP.
I have tried setting the IP to static on the router, switched off WEP and switched on locking to specific MAC addresses - still same problem.
Does anyone know a solution to this please?
ROM 1.72.00WWE (date 3/15/04)
Radio 1.17.00
Protocol 1337.28
Ext Rom 1.72.181
All these came with an o2 update off their site.
Many thanks

update
After more frustration I have hard reset my XDAII and reinstalled the driver. it works first time (after putting in the WEP key), but after a few minutes/pages it drops the connection (or rather, it claims to be still connected but the green light flashes like crazy and I get the blank page error again!).
Taking out the wifi card and putting it back in makes the connection again .. then drops again and I can go through this ad infinitum. This is better than before but most annoying having to reset wifi every few webpages.
Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this please?
Many thanks

Does anyone have a solution for this please? The error has returned and drops the connection after successfully pulling in one page (solid green light, then immediately starts flashing and will only go to another page after switching off and one, or popping out the wifi card.
Many thanks

I have the same problem with a 802.11G card and a Magician.
Led stays connected all the time, and I have to pop the card off and put it on again, for it to work.
The card works perfectly on my HP5500, and hangs on both mine and my friend magician (his has 128megs ram).
I think the problem is a bug in SDIO driver on the PDA.
Hi,
I've been a palm user for ages but now but i was trully missing wifi capabilities on my past units... Since my enfora wifi sled for treo died on me I made research for a new smartphone that would do wifi and I ended up picking htc hermes.
Everything works fine so far BUT WIFI(the sole reason i went for that unit).
First test : I have an old netgear wep and 802.11b only router at home used as a switch. Tried to get it to work with it with wep no go, without encryption no luck. Says connecting, then all of a sudden, the network becomes unavailable for few seconds and then pops back as avail... tries to connect again, unavail and this goes on forever...
Second test : there is a unencrypt wireless network detected, said to myself I would *try* it. Magic, it gets an ip and everything. I can connect to the AP with IE. I didnt tried to axs internet or do further, it was connected !
Third test: @work, Ive read on forums ppl had working wifi with WPA+tkip. At work I have a couple of linksys WAP54GX, so i did setup a WPA + TKIP wireless network. It worked the first day. I was pretty happy, finally wifi DID work. Could SSH to boxes browse internet everything was fine.
The day after, I decide to install opera mobile. It worked like a charm for an hour... then all of a sudden everything was slow as hell -> soft reset. To my suprise, the config that was working few mins ago wasnt working anymore... Now even the WPA+TKIP setup that was working few hours ago stopped working. Same deal, connecting... , then wireless network goes unavail, goes back avail and fails to connect.
Anyone experienced similar issues ? I doubt its HW related since it did work for a day... and i still can connect to the unsecure wifi from neighboors (that always worked). Is there any application or tools or simply logs I could dig in to figure out out what is going on ? I mean if it wont connect id like an error msg not the whole ap go unavail for 1 min then pops back like nothing.
Is there anything avail for troubleshooting wifi connections in windows mobile or we only have the M$ way of having no information whatsoever ?

My HTC HD has WIFI Problem: WiFi will not turn on most of the time.
After tapping the Wi-Fi Switch (in Communications Tab) it hangs for about 7 seconds then stops.
Sometimes after 6 seconds the wifi Icon will appear for 1/2 a second but then disappears.
The only way I can get it to connect at all is if the device is cool and I remove the battery for a while....
...Then restart it and Wi-Fi will switch on sometimes (but fail most of the time).
I have flashed the ROM (by different Cookers) many times, Hard Reset the device many times, and used all different power settings: Still no good.
If error reporting is ON I get error message "device.exe' problem.
As I live in Australia I would have to pay heaps for freight if I send it back to UK so I'm loath to do so.
Anybody know what should I do to fix it?
(PS. My old Diamond connects every time)
I have a similar WiFi connectivity problem, but after reading of the poor service provided by most vendors and HTC itself, I will try to gather some more experience with the problem before I contact HTC or my vendor, and hopefully find a solution. Bellow is my experience so far:
I own an HTC Touch HD since January and have a similar problem, only it surfaced last week. Before I had only used the WiFi connectivity briefly. The problems started after I installed an AP on my house expressively for the new PDA. The node is fully open and set to B/G/N protocols.
After a couple days of medium (couple hours per day) use the WiFi connection suddenly quit, the device would try to connect (the top bar showing the WiFi connection animation continuously) and after a few moments gave up with a dialog box stating the current network settings were wrong (even thou they worked fine a few hours earlier).
I tried several hot and cold resets, but only solved the problem after flashing a new ROM; even then the same symptoms reappeared after a couple of days of regular use. Again no re-setting would cure the problem, and now not even flashing the ROM again would work. Nonetheless, some hours latter the WiFi would connect perfectly with the same nodes it refused to before, and in very short time.
I have witnessed this cycle twice and have yet not been able to find a trigger for it, but will keep my eyes open for any tell tale signs, and post any findings here.
What I found out is that If you are using CommManager in TF3D together with other wifi mgr it screws up the wifi. Either you use CommManager or you use 3rd party one but not both at the same time.
Agreed!
Yes I agree completely; something on the permanent storage area got corrupted last week after I installed WiFi Monster (which I like, and recommend, only not at the same time as the standard connection manager).
I managed to get the WiFi conection working again (if only for a couple of days...) by doing the Start>Settings>Clear Storage thing and following the re-install.
Ok, so at least now I know of one more thing that can screw up th HD's WiFi besides itself!
i cant connect to my wifi in my same bedroom !!!
Enhancing WiFi performance
If you get very low range, or frequent connection interruptions, it might help to go to: Settings>Connections>Wi-Fi>Advanced>Power Mode and set it to "Best Performance"
PS. I wonder if anybody gets intermittent WiFi problems like myself. One day it works perfectly, the next it will not connect showing a dialog box: "Warning Cannot connect to the network. Check your network and service provider settings and try again"
Fresh flash of WM 6.5 over radio 3.42.50 on a Titan. Under Network Management, I've selected that "Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using:" My Work Network, since I don't have a data plan. I go to Wifi settings, select Add New, put in the ssid, click through the security settings (temporarily disabled for this test purpose). My network shows up as "Unavailable". (I'm standing right next to the router). I click "Connect", it says "Connecting" for a couple of seconds and then goes back to "Unavailable".
What should I check first? I'm at my wits end.
You shouldn't have to "add new", your ssid should be automatically discovered and displayed in the list of wifi networks.
Did you connect to a wifi with your phone before, or is it a first attempt ?
Yes, I'd been connecting just fine until a few weeks ago. In fact, the refusal to connect was what prompted me to flash the thing -- figured that starting over might help.
So, your wifi connection was working well, but suddenly, for some obscure reason, it stopped working. Therefore, you decided to reflash your phone, but it didn't help, still not working.
Is that correct ?
I know I sound like a complete doofus, but yes, that's basically it. The weirdest thing is that every once in a while it'll find a wireless network and connect. But the connection never lasts for more than a few minutes, and then when it's gone the network is "Unavailable". And to anticipate your next question: There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for when it works. At this point I'm thinking I'll pick up a used Titan or Vogue on eBay and junk this thing.
Did you try a different rom ? Could be a faulty rom.
I've tried several different roms, yes.
this happens in some roms...
go2 wireless lan settings and then go2 power mode.change it to best perfomance frm best battery
I have a problem with my Nook Color's Wifi.
I received my refurbished Nook on Monday, and installed cm7 that night. I've got it overclocked at 1.2ghz and running smoothly for the last 3 days without any hangups or any other signs of problems.
The wifi was working great until this morning. Now, when I turn my WiFi on, it hangs on the Connecting... notice under Wi-Fi, and it eventually goes to Disconnected, and none of the nearby networks show up. The message then continually cycles between Connecting and Disconnected.
I was wondering if this was a fixable problem? Or if this is a damaged hardware issue.
I've taken a (bad) cell phone picture of the WiFi screen where it shows both the Connecting... message and Disconnected one. The top network "Commodore" should be active, and both my laptop and phone are connecting to it just fine right now. I've attempted rebooting and turning the device off for 15 minutes.
I'm really hoping I don't have to return and exchange, because I really like the Nook Color, but without WiFi I just simply can't use it.
1. activate wifi
2. go to wifi scanning
3. remove one secured SSID
4. add a secured SSID: generally your own one.
It disable airplane mode and everything is back online.
