Upgraded ROM for AT&T Question - Proxy - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I upgraded my ROM the Cingular/AT&T 8525 the other night. Everything works fine now. However, apparently the wise folk over at AT&T have decided to add a registry key to PIE to check for their proxy. It can be disabled, however, each time the phone is rebooted, it re-adds the registry key. Any ideas how to fix this?
I have to keep changing the registry key each time I have to reboot. Here's a link I found that answers the question. The problem is, is there a way to completely eliminate the key.

How can I fix my WiFi problem?

I have not been able to turn on wifi reliably for ages now - It all started when I upgraded to WM5. Now (even if I downgrade to wm2003se) I cannot turn it on. I press the wifi on button, the cursor comes up but nothing happens), leave it for a couple of hours, and then press again - it will sometimes turn on. It then stays on for about 30 mins, and turns off (I have the wifi set to never turn off).
I cannot diagnose the problem - can you?
Any help GREATLY appreciated - feel free to ask for more details.

What you can do is to check the following keys in the registry:
HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Parms\HTCPreloadstatus --> 1
HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Parms\HTCPreloadwifi -->1
Both dword with decimal values. Next, when you made the changes, softreset and check if your wlan is working.
Keep us posted.
Cheers.

I have attached them here, so you can have a look yourself:
(rename .doc to .reg if you need to)
Thought I had some progress there, but now all is back to normal...
Still no luck... found this: http://www.teksoftco.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=194

-jeasbe'
Thank you
The registry jack worked 4 me i don't know how to thank you really you helpde me a lot
No Luck..Need to USE THIS URGENT
I tried it but on Reboot My settings return back from
HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Parms\HTCPreloadstatus --> 1
RETURNS BACK to
HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Parms\HTCPreloadstatus --> 0
___________________________________________
The other setting
HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Parms\HTCPreloadwifi -->1
Stays same
And after that, have you tried to soft-reset the device ?
There's a good change if don't, the change won't have any effect just like on you're desktop/laptop etc.
No Luck

After the Reboot/ ie after the Soft reset.

the value change back to 0 after soft-reset.
I tried several times even waiting for some minutes before soft-resetting.
So it means ??
NO LUCK ??

@jeasbe: I just wanted to second your finding...
Actually I suspect some hardware/EEPROM issue like this (Hermes):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=304004
this is my story:
1. Got the Dopod from the provider with Chinese ROM (living in mainland China at the moment). Did not test WiFi.
2. After strongly insisting on an English GUI I got an update to an English ROM from the provider. Since then no WiFi
3. Asked the provider about WiFi on my Dopod. He confirmed that it was not working but had been working with the Chinese ROM before.
.... (so excluded user problem but still no solution)
4. Decided to upgrade by myself assuming the problem lies in the ROM version.
.... Upgraded step-by-step with the various ROM versions to XM6 according to tutorial 'n checked for each ROM version for WiFi. Still no WiFi.
5. Installed the WiFi patch for the commgr. No WiFi.
6. Read about that registry hack. Values do not remain after soft-reset. No WiFi.
7. Colleagues have the same problem (but still with the English ROM from the provider). So will ask one of them to hand-in to the provider to change back to Chinese ROM in order to see whether WiFi is working with that setting. But doubting it
8. any other ideas appreciated ...
another thread with similar issue:

It looks like the Hermes guys (Drummer) found a solution:

However, I am not an expert so don't whether it is possible the adapt the approach somehow to the Wizard.
any news here? ive got exactly the same problem

I found out that if you have a CHS version officially sold in China there is no WiFi feature in the phone - this rule applies for all models from any manufacturer.
I am not sure though whether it is really hardware (like missing the WLAN chip) or software issue (on a level below the ROM, because change to different ROM [incl. change of IPL/SPL and radio] won't help).

New ROM GPRS no longer works... (solved)

I just installed WM6 on my Wizard and can't get any data connection working on my phone. I have all the correct settings from my operator and have a set up the correct profile.
An other issue that I am having is that on every reboot the input settings are reset! I hate word completion and it always comes back.
EDIT: Solved
Why not put the solution here? Someone else might need it.

new 8525, wifi button doesnt turn on

Yes I have searched for days and RTFW to no avail. New 8525 from warranty. I dont have a data plan as I only use home wifi or the rare hotspot. I flashed hard spl, flashed WM6. Everything on the phone works perfect except the wifi button stays X ed. Wont recieve broadcast from router at any distance. Did something happen in the flash. Is it the radio missing something or a driver missing. I reflashed the ATT WM6 ROM from HTCAMERICA just in case and have same problem. It doesnt seem like this has happened here yet or I am blind from reading for 3 days. Thanks so much in advance, you all rock.
perhaps you need downgrade your spl to 1.01 and then use mtty to fix
your wifi
wifi on hermes
i have a hermes (herm200) with wm6 pro (from TNT series) everything works so well, except the wifi.
it will not start at all,
blakest suggested using mtty to fix, but where to start? perhaps someone could do a step-by-step?
or a stable enough rom will do.
tia.
I'd suggest also looking at the registry to see if its activated.
You need to use a registry editor then go to HKEY_local_machine>software>HTC>CommManager>WLan. 1st entry should be value name : default, Value data : \WLanMgr.exe
2nd entry should be Value Name : Device name,
Value data : 5-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\TIACXWLN1
Some newer roms don't have these filled in (especially the WLanMgr.exe value.
Hope this helps...
Cheers...
its better to move for warranty

Internet Sharing....

OK I hsve looked all over these threads for the answer to Sprints Touch Internet threading issue. Ive tried deleting the registry that doesnt allow the drop down menu. I have installed cabs that modify the registry for me. This is a brand new phone with WM6.1 Could there be a fix to our previous way around this on the new phones? like an updated software that requres more that just that registry edit? Anyone else having this issue? Anyone been able to fix it?
Check the registry again for the proper name of your provider in the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings\ForceCellConnection=Sprint PCS
For weeks I suffered trying to correct my issue. Hard reset, following edits, making new connections etc. Then I noticed, my "ForceCellConnection=Sprint". Check your connection name. Once I discovered this and changed the name - all is perfect. I have used my Touch many, many times for tethering and it drove me crazy when it stopped working. Good luck!
I figured it out....... When deleting the registry, you need to soft reset afterward, THEN when your phone restarts, you run IE or HTC weather or something to open a connection, THEN you run Internet Sharing, select Sprint PCS and it will connect =) Finally a way around a brodband card, and whats sad, is that it ran at 1158kbps for download test, my home dsl only runs 1320 LOL!

Disable / stop / uninstall network wizard auto configure

My phone preconfigures a network when I enter a sim card. The sim setting would be correct for my provider, but I have my own network settings combining corporate and provider settings. The phone however kicks them out every time I start it up.
I just want to kick this wizard out, but HOW?!?! Can't find it in the registry etc.
You could try unlocking the extended rom and then deleting the carrier.pxp file that is in there. That would stop *any* configuration I think - but htat might be more of a nuisance if you end up roaming.
(This is a GSM-specific answer by the way. Don't know about CDMA)
John
Solved the issue by going into the registry. If I can't edit the wizard, I can at least kill it's configuration. Just look for the setup the wizard suggests and edit it to the right settings.
Could you tell me how you got that wizard disabled? You said, that you've bee in the registry. What keys are there to change?
disable connection setup
I had the same problem as well, and seeming there seemed to be no answer thought I'ld post where the keys were on my phone (HTC 3600i) this will be different for the palm but might give someone a starting point
HKCU\Software\HTC\Connectionsetup
On the HTC there are several keys that seem to relate to auto start and auto detect, I set them all to 0 and haven't had another problem.
Also just try searching the registry for connectionsetup thats how i found it.
