My PDA is O2 Atom Life. In my office, I must use LEAP to authenticate to the access points. As everybody knows that O2 doesn't support LEAP, so I have used Odyssey Access Client to do that.
After installation, I created a new profile in OAC, power on the WiFi, wait few seconds, use IE to navigate on the internet and everything works fine. When I completed to play on the internet, I disable the OAC and power off the WiFi, there is no any error message appeared. After that, I connect and disconnect the WiFi for several times. Then I soft-reset my O2, I found that the phone calling service becomes unavailable. I have tried to disable/enable OAC, power on/off WiFi and power on/off phone service, but no action can wake up the phone calling service again. So I uninstalled OAC, then reboot. The phone service can work again and the original WiFi service also works fine.
Does anybody know the reason for the error occured? Is it that my usage incorrect? What is the order to enable/disable OAC and power on/off the WiFi?
I found a method that can recovery the phone service without uninstall OAC. The method is just run the "OdyIMCEUninstall.exe" in the OAC folder, and then reboot my device. I have used some registry viewing tool to compare the changes made by that program, the difference is in the NDIS device (that program may remove a layer from the networking stack).
After reboot, I run the "OdyIMCEInstall.exe" in the OAC folder and run OAC client program to enable Odyssey and dim the "Connect to" check box. Then power on the WiFi, everything works fine again. Both phone service and wireless service works properly!!
Anyone can tell me why OAC can affect the phone service? NDIS device is also related to phone service?
I think I get something similar on a Polaris I am testing. No simcard so I don't know about the phone, but if I install Odyssey it works, then after any reboot I have to reinstall Odyssey or I have no wifi access. Odyssey cannot even see any networks.
Is this the same? Any idea to try out appreciated.
As per what t2k269 said - I misread this as "uninstall" but running the install file fixes this. Good spot and thanks.

I dumped my three year old Sony Ericsson P800 for a sleek, chic O2 XDA Atom in March 2006.
It was a dream device and I enjoyed discovering myriad of features as this was my first PPC. My main usage is as a highly used phone (more than 6 hours per day on long conference calls) and PIM applications (calendar, contacts etc). I hardly play games, I only have Scrabble loaded. O2 Plus is my today plugin, I don't use any other. I have a 0.5 GB miniSD card on which I load podcasts or videos, though I watch rarely.
I started facing a number of problems that I haven't been able to solve:
1) If I set up the SETTINGS > SYSTEM > POWER > ADVANCED > ON BATTERY POWER TURN OFF DEVICE IF NOT USED FOR 2 MINUTES; it is supposed to turn off the screen. If a call or SMS comes it is supposed to come alive.
This never worked for me. Invariably the screen would fail to come back alive and I'd need to poke with stylus to Soft-Reset the device. As a result my screen was always on. Expectedly battery life was very very low. This is my biggest grouse.
2) The WiFi stopped working one day in July. It used to work very well and I was using Agile Messenger with my home network for few months. That day, it just crashed as I turned it on WiFi and surfed for sometime. The screen turned kind of white and a mix of colors. I tried a lot of things after that including flashing the May ROM, old ROM and so on. No avail. Nowadays if I turn WiFi on it may work for sometime. I may even be able to connect to O2-Connect or the web. But crash it will. And after that the WiFi option also sometimes disappears from the Wireless Manager. It reappears after a number of reboots. Practically WiFi has become unavailable.
3) Browsing using pass-through with ActiveSync using the Internet connection on laptop never worked for me. Tried many tweaks but never got it working.
4) 2 and 3 above mean I have no working Internet connection on my Atom. I used GSM dial-up networking through my ISP account. But it is so damn expensive. Haven't tried out GPRS yet (no idea how well Airtel's Mobile Office GPRS in Bangalore India will work with Atom).
5) Recently, I have been experiencing silence on my phone during calls where I can't hear the other people talking whereas they can hear me. I tested dialing into same conference with Atom and another Nokia set. On the Nokia there weren't any silences while my Atom had multiple silences of couple of minutes each. This has made my Atom practically useless for the phone function.
I'd be very happy to try out any suggestions that you may have. Before I totally give up on it.
XDA Atom
ROM:20060426B1WWE
RADIO:R060428N_MN1ARC_RS00049
ExtROMEX0018
upgrade to 0822 RadioRom which you can find in the Upgrade part of this Atom forum, and see if there will be any improvement.
Wi-fi Shut-off when we do the first activesync.
I tried closing all programs by going to settings => memory => running programs => close all.
After that I did the soft reset and started the process "Start => Settings => Connections => WiFi Utility => Menu => Turn on WiFi.
Menu => Jump to Network Cards 3. Under Wireless, select your desired network. (If your network is hidden, kindly tap on "Add New")
Enter your network name (if needed), proceed to Network Key.
Select your Authentication, Data Encryption type and your Network key.
Proceed to 802.1x if needed (it is usually disabled)
Tap on Ok, go to Network Adapters => O2 Wi-Fi Wireless Adapter
Configure your IP and Name Server if needed. (If your network allows automatic assign, you might want to exclude this portion)
Tap on Ok, Ok. Proceed to WiFi Status, check if the status is Connected and IP Address is obtained.
Kindly try to use Internet Explorer to surf the internet"
and started the Wi-fi but it would not go on it showed Wi-fi off instead of the routine radio off.
When if went to Wi-fi => about. It showed Driver: Wi-fi not enabled, Firmware Version: Wi-fi not enabled, MAC Address: Wi-fi not enabled.
I tried the hard reset also yet the Wi-fi would not turn on.
So I reinstalled latest version 20060426-mot0822 of the Atom and before I did activesync I ran the Wi-fi and it worked well . After the first Activesync the same problem started.
For Activesync I am using the new version 4.5.0, Build 5059, Beta taken from the Microsoft site where it has the facility to keep on the Allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop yet the Wi-fi switches off.
There seems to be a problem with you software and your technical department needs to study it deeply and provide a suitable solution for it
I have just upgraded my o2 XDAiis to Helmi WM6 and the new software works ok. i have a number of issues.
1. when i put the pda in the cradle my wireless internet drops out. every time and only when i try to sync the device. the wireless manager on the laptop pops up telling me unable to connect to wireless connection.. if i remove the pda and manually reconnect it, it works.. put the pda back in, drops out again.
2. i can no longer sync my ACT contacts.. i am using ACT v6.
it doesn't work and i have to unselect the act options or activesync crashes.. worked fine with WM2003
can anyone suggest a newer program to sync my contacts ?
3. the sound for the phone icon on the pda changes every now and then.. if i have the volume turned up.. it will change to vibrate.. sometimes after i view my calendar and go back to the today screen..
any ideas ?
1. AS-file-connection settings-allow wireless connection when cradle
2. dont know
3. dont realy understend the problem, is the volume changing from load to quited or vibrate chaotic?
Let me guess, you have a Centrino laptop with an Intel wifi card, and your wifi connection uses WPA security?
The problem is a bug in the Intel drivers. I fought for months with that issue. Intel finally fixed it in drivers released a couple of months ago. Just go to your laptop manufacturer's site and download the latest drivers, or go direct to Intel.com and get them there.
As an alternative solution you can switch the PPC's USB sync mode from RNDIS (the default which triggers this problem) to serial mode, but you will have to remember to do it every time you hard reset.
Go to Start->Settings->Connections tab->USB to PC icon, and untick the box that says "Enable advanced network functionality". Sometimes a soft reset is required to make the change.
If you don't have an Intel wifi card then it must be some other issue.
yes.. i have an IBM laptop with centrino and i am using an intel wireless card with WPA security.
however i have the latest drivers - 9.0.4.36
i will try the settings change to disable advanced networking features
Has anyone on Verizon with a xv6800 gotten WMWifiRouter to work? I have tried and tried and still have no luck. I installed ICS like others have said and this has still not made it work. If anyone has a xv6800 and has WMWifiRouter working, please help me out with some directions. Thank you in advanced for your help.
Mod Edit: Moved from Titan Upgrading
I use it every day
So far you said that you installed ICS so that should be ok. Make sure you turn on your wifi before wifirouter, and you know it is right when the 3 simi circles stop flashing and stay lit and the message is 'connected to wifirouter ready'. If it is like that then it is working and the problem is that maybe the wifi on the other end needs to be told to look for ad-hoc connection, some will not see one by default. Ad-hoc is the mode it uses.
It says it is conected but also says it is searching for ICS and WLAN and it never connects.
make sure your WiFi switch is on
yep

That is what happens when the wifi is not working because it must bind with it. Go into your commanager and see what your wifi looks like and that the ad-hoc connection 'wifiminirouter' is there.
i was having the same problem. I uninstalled it, turned on the wifi switch then reinstalled it. I originally installed with the WiFi switch off and that apparently was the problem.
I got it. Thanks for your help everyone.
Okay, I have to ask since I haven't figured the program out. What does this program do? It allows a computer to connect to my phone via WiFi, while my phone is connected to the data network, thus giving my computer internet? I don't know.
Thats it exactly

You get a cookie ;-) and not only that but it doles out many ip addresses so anyone in range of your phone can share it's EVDO.
Sweet! I like cookies! This phone really is a magic phone.
I have to admit I was wondering if this was going to work.
I live in a 1x world up here in NW Arizona. Yesterday was a road trip to Vegas, Wife had the laptop and she surfed the net through the connection and then when we got to Vegas we hit EVDO and life was very good.
I think I am going to have to get a Amp with a good external antenna for better reception though.
But this brings up another possible situation as posted above others may intercept the wifi. But cruising down the road that should be a very remote hazard.
The only problem developed last night on the way home . It was searching for ICS like the switch was off. I verifed it was correct. Looked at settings and the wifi icon was missing in action. Soft reboot brought it back and life was good again.
Conflict with Exchange
I installed the program on my Verizon 6800. My phone puts out a signal, my computer recognizes it, gets an ip address and connects, but when I open internet explorer I get the "page cannot be displayed" error.
I do have my phone receiving push email from exchange server. I went into communications manager and turned that off, but still can't connect.
The wmwifirouter site mentions this problem, but I was wondering if anyone has had any success connecting?
Thanks!
do you have your wifi switched turned on BEFORE you open wmwifirouter? your computer will still connect even if the actual connection to the internet is not there. disconnect your computer from the network. close wmwifirouter (or just soft reset for good measure). turn on your wifi switch, then start wmwifirouter, then connect. if you're on a laptop, just shut off your wireless until wmwifirouter is connected.
Thanks for the quick response.
I followed your directions:
1. Soft Reset,
2. Turn on WiFi on phone,
3. Open wmwifirouter program,
4. Turned on wireless connection on computer.
Again, everything connects, but get the same IE error. When I select the wireless network in my office, my computer connects instantly.
In the wireless LAN settings on my phone, the configuration shows:
SSID: WMWifiRouter
Mode: Ad hoc
BSSID: 02-18-41-33-01-09
Tx Rate: Auto
Channel: 11
Signal Quality: Almost a full bar
This program would be absolutely awesome if I could get it to work!

Do you haveto run a custom ROM to use WMWiFiRouter or can you use Verizon's MR1?

I have WIFIRouter and love it. The only problem I have is after using it on my laptop, I have to delete the connection. If I do not the computers (Dell) wifi will only search for my phone, and will not connect to the router in my house until its gone.
I know this is not a phone issue, but a computer one, buut thought someone here might know.
Thanks
Reinstall with WiFi on - Reboot require
I was also able to get my xv6800 to work (using an iTouch) using the above suggestions. I uninstalled ICS and WMWiFi, reset the xv,and reinstalled ICS and then WMWifi "with the WiFi switch" on - thanks for the help!
I noticed that when I reinstalled ICS with the WiFi switch on, it said the changes would take effect after I restarted the xv, which it didn't do when I installed it with the WiFi switch off..
I also had to turn on the WEP encryption rather than "None" to get it to work, although that might have been fixed if I'd just reset the iTouch.

Hello,
I do have here a problem on WM6. Every time to time my device connects to the internet (GPRS) and stays connected.
I have installed the nodata application, ans disabled the GPRS connection. It works ok, but the device becomes very slow to respond the commands after a while. Some application is trying to connect to the net. Connmgr.exe process is getting almost 100% cpu usage.
I have disabled every automatic update, activesync and son on but the problem remains.
How can I find which app is trying to connect?
Regards
Cabiri
my 2 cents
connect via your activesync/device manager, and get online via your desktop internet connection. now with netstat -b or any packet capture tool, try to find out where it is connecting. you will get an idea about the prog from remote address. like if it connects to msn.com, it'll be live messenger.. something like this.
you can also use a advanced task manager on the phone to check which applications are running in the background.
hope that helps
Thans, I will try both soluctions.
Cabiri
same problem here. this is happening to me just last few weeks. i can't remember if i was messing with some options in any program, but even if i did i was just turning off automatic connections since i don't like them. i also tried to uninstall my latest software, but that didn't help.it is possible that it is some kind of malware, but kaspersky antivirus did not find any problems. i hope that someone will find solution for this becouse it is very annoying.
p.s.
if this causes significant data transfer you can go to Settings/Connections/Connections -> Advanced tab -> Select Networks, and change settings to "My Work Network"
if you have a weather update, this maybe the one triggering your mobile to connect to the Internet. just turn the Automatic Update off
no, it's not any weather plugin since i removed them long time ago. and when i used them automatic update was turned off. however, if weather plugin try to auto update and if it fails, then you get an error message. this one looks just like it continuosly try to connect and it uses almost all CPU until it gets connected. whatever this application is it looks hostile and i don't like it. the war is on!
thanks for help anyway
Hi,
I even disabled the HTC today plugin... and it remains doing the same.
Until now I had no chance to track the traffic, I will try on the next days.
finally i found the solution for my problem. seems like windows live messenger is causing all my problems. i found that phone is trying to connect to internet only after using wlm. usually after i'm finished using wlm i just terminate the program. and this is the problem. i should first sign out, and then terminate wlm. after this everything works just fine. so be sure to sign out before terminating wlm. i'm sure that this is the problem because i've tested my theory few times and i guess that this is it.
i hope this helps to you. if it does please report here
Yeah I have the same issue, i believe it's been on several version of Windows live messenger, actually, it's even on the version I have of WM6.1 (I have an Elfin with the blue elves rom from xda which has wm6.1)
it's quite sad that msft hasn't fixed this yet, it henders the phone completely useless and seems like it should be something easy to fix, stupid WLM should just not retry so brutely
anyways, actually if you change WLM to "manual" instead of "as items arrive" that does the trick too, but then now your push mail is gone ;( lame!
Hi,
I am the proud (but by now somewhat frustrated) owner of a HTC Touch pro 2.
I was used to BB connect (BES & BIS) on my TyTnII which went good (not without it's drawbacks).
Afther some reading on the forum I used the well known procedure (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4150074&postcount=35) to set up BB connect 4.0.0.106 and it worked just fine...
It workes just fine until IE or some other appliction on the phone tries to access the internet. Connection to BB is broken (of course...); and the connection is even re-established afther the other program is finished "using the radio" but then I can't receive or send any e-mails anymore (even with BB "connected"). Shutting down and restarting doesn't fix this and afther a couple of restarts the BB application won't connect at all ("data tunnel available" -> "disconnected"). (I do have PIN, EMEI and IP...)
Hardresetting the phone and starting from scratch is the only way to get BB working again...until some program accesses the internet again....
anybody? help?

YES there is alonger thread called 'BB connect not working yet' somewhere. I suffer the same issue and it drives me nuts. Simple solution is to go to comm mgr and DISCONNECT data service (sometimes it takes a few tries), then go to your BB connect software on your device, second tab [status], SuSPEND then RESUME. And then BB reconnects.
I do this several times during the day.
I also added a shortcuut to programs for the Blackberry Settings program (which is the last file in the Blackberry folder in Program files on the device), then added these on my start menu so I can easily run com mgr and BB settings. Would love to find a macro to do this!!
It seems BB needs to be the only data tunnel, doesnt multitask like others. Therefore to keep it constantly working you have to stop other things automatically connecting (like Weather automatically looking for your location - switch it off in the weather tab). TF 2.1 often automatically connects, but its not as bad as 2.5 which seems to try to connect ALL the time (and there you need to check the DONT CONNECT box in settings soemwhere).
I find I cant sync my folders perfectly and it often doesnt see when I have read emails on the PC (and leaves them unread). Also, the mail app hangs a lot. However, its still better than owning a blackberry!!
Hope this helps
Hi, thx for the advice...at leat it's a start.
Unfortunately, I now have another problem :
I set up everything perfectly and BIS is running perfect.
However, once I connect to my company's BES, the phone locks afther I get the imposed security policy and I am asked to enter a (new) password... (never had problems with this on my TYTN II).
I have to soft reset -> now the question for a pqssword reapears -> I am able to set a password -> WM6.1 boots -> BB connect is connected and services are apparantly downloaded to the device but I am unable to send/receive mails or sceduler data. (tries to send data but I get a red cross before the e-mail in the send box in sted of the green "v").
so what now ?
this should do it.
well...it doesn't seem to help. Got this cab installed and program is indeed running but stil no ability to send/receive e-mail.
Maybe I wasn't that clear in stating the problem:
1. BBconnect and BIS are running perfect (thx to xda-developers...)
2. I activate my companies BES and the BC software starts downloading services
3. Machine restarts and prompts for "new password" in order to activate security settings imposed by BES
4. screen freezes at this point (not able to input password)...I think this is time dependent : if I am fast enough it succeeds but wait a few moments and it is stuck...
5. soft reset
6. machine again prompts for password and now I am able to set it
7. Windows boots
8. BB connects; services all seem to be installed AND my schedule data has indeed been downloaded
9. BB seems to be running all right ("connected") but I am unable to send or receive both by BES and BIS and I get no scheduler data transmitted or received.
10. afther 1 or 2 soft resets connection is totally lost ("data tunnel available" then no "connection")
I re-istalled BC many times so far (both *106 and *104). I even have goten BIS to work for at least 2 days but if some other program starts connecting to the internet (both by GPRS or by WIFI....) I am back at point nr.9...
Any other thoughts ?

Im out of ideas, sorry. Something else you can try... put yr sim into a clean BB machine and see if it works properly. Borrow one from someone or go to your provider and tell them you want to test if it work for real for you (I did this - told them I needed to prove there is something wronf with the settings at work). then at least you can narrow down if its you and the device, or a technical work issue.
Hi,
I FINALLY got a break-through....
Re-read all the postings once again and solved the problem by:
1. terminate BBCMain.exe process
2. stop BlackBerryLog service
3. stop BlackBerrySecurity service
4. start BBCMain.exe (from \program files\Blackberry folder)
5. start BlackBerryLog service
6. start BlackBerrySecurity service (you need to authenticate after it's started)
It works now for 10 hours straight....fingers crossed
Thanks again ekerbuddyeker for your imput and support !
