Hi guys!
I am writing this post hoping that someone can help me. Here it goes:
I bought a Cingular 8125 from someone in ROMANIA ( i also live down there ), at that moment wi-fi was working fine as in............ it was searching for wireless networks and showing them in Network Cards. The same day i flashed to wm6 ( downgrade, unlock upgrade etc. ) when i started wi-fi in wm6 and ............. nothing, no wireles networks in range, the wi-fi icon in the top of today screen did not show any attempt to connect or communicate for that matter. I downgraded to wm5 again (after trying different wm6 roms - none worked for wi-fi) and still nothing. I came to belive that there are some kind of settings in connection that y must take care of for my cingular to pick up nearby wi-fi hot spots. I am eagerly awaiting an answer from anyeone who has any idea about this.
Thank's in advance guys!!!

Hi there,
I live in Sydney Australia and have just travelled to Singapore on business. Unfortunately my JAMin refuses to connect to any of the local networks.
On previous trips, my O2 Xda II mini worked just fine. This is the first time I've travelled overseas with my new JAMin, and it just won't work.
I've looked at all of the Network settings and nothing seems to be wrong. I can even manually scan for the local networks in Singapore but cannot connect to any of them.
I upgraded my radio rom a few weeks back to the latest version (2.47.21) - do you think this could have caused the problem? I've just downgraded the radio rom (firstly to 2.20.21 and then 2.30.21) to see if that helps but still no go at all.
HELP! I can't be off the air for the entire trip.
p.s. My prophet is a G3 device and I used the correct ROMS. The phone works perfectly in Australia (Vodafone).

Have you already ruled out a Vodafone screw up or problems in the international connection? Usually if you can see the networks then your phone is working, if you can't attach to them then either signalling is not reaching your home network or your Home Location Register configuration doesn't allow roaming.
Try to contact Vodafone in Australia and report the problem. I doubt it is something with your phone.

Yes, you were correct. It was Vodafone's fault.
I've travelled with the same SIM for the past few years without problem so I assumed that my Radio ROM upgrade was probably at fault. When I called Vodafone Australia today they confirmed that when we changed some account details a few months back, their computer defaulted all of our phones back to "no roaming". Very unhelpful indeed! I'd now like the 2.5 hours sleep I lost last night trying to get the friggin' thing working!!!!
Thanks for your response.
Hi I purchased my Imate K-Jam G4 in the UK sim free and brought it to the Cayman Islands. I do not appear to have any GPRS or edge ability. My service opertaor supports both they tried to send me the settings but came back with handset not supported.
I am running the latest imate ROM and have hard reset a couple of times to now avail. When i click on the internet all i get is cannot connect with current settings. i have tried both types of authentication.
Can anyone help me?
Is it anything to do with the CID lock which reports 001?
Thanks any help will be appreciated
Update:
Ok i have now managed to get it to connect by creating a new connection.However although it shows connected i get no data. can't even open google. any ideas?
Ok now got it working. my sim was not enabled for gprs put it in my wifes phone which had a text with the service provider settings saved them and then put the sim back in my phone. all now works. However seems to cost a small fortune so looks like i am going to disable it again. :-(
Hi guys,
ever since my provider changed the stock Chinese ROM to an English ROM my Wizard's WiFi is dead. Unfortunately the provider is not willing to help but refer me to HTC.
Anyway, it seems I am sharing this problem with a significant amount of Hermes users. Luckily for the Hermes users, Drummer presented a solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=322225
My question would be twofold:
1. any other Wizard user having same problem with a dead WiFi?
2. any chance to adapt the solution given for the Hermes to Wizard (and how)?
Basically I understand what needs to be done (i.e. to "repair" a corrupted MAC address), but how can I identify the right location of the MAC address in the Wizard?
Cheers!
Interesting ... so none of the current "active" Wizard users on this forum faces this problem except for me (... and 3 other colleagues of mine).
Hmmm....
I read that and it's above my skillset at the moment. I have the same problem but am not entirely sure it is due to this.
Mine will work sporadically for a while then quit.
Almost as if it's a hardware issue and if I take the battery away long enough, it will work for a while then quit.
But I'm baffled as well because when it works, it works well.
Ipaqkiller,
thanks for the reply. In my case I did not get the WIFI up and running at all ever.
It seems it is not worth the effort with the "repairing" of the MAC address if so few have this problem (my colleagues don't bother about the missing WIFI as they just use the WIZARD as a ordinary mobile).
Best shot is to convince HTC to restore the EEPROM data (as my provider rejects to help) ...
Any ideas?
I received a new HTC Touch from my Chinese carrier - guess what's the problem with it .... yes, also no WLAN feature, even the comm manager does not offer the button for WLAN ...
I learnt from a mobile shop that normally my Chinese carrier deactivates/ does not offer any mobile with WLAN ... so my problem seems not a bad ROM update corrupting the MAC address but rather a business model of my carrier .. don't know though whether it is based on software settings or that there is even a hardware component missing ...
(1) Can anyone confirm that they have same experience with their Chinese carrier de-activating the WLAN feature in the mobiles?
(2) How can I tell whether the WLAN module (hardware) is there (without phisically opening the Wizard) and could be re-activated via software?
(As said, I already uploaded the Wizard with different ROMs (incl. changes of IPL/SPL, radio rom etc.) but never got WLAN working ..
wlan prob
my wizard also is havin prob like this..
my wizard searches the wlan but didnt connect it..
it says connecting....then suddenly it stops...and gives error not available..what kind of problem is that..
plz tell me what should i do?
I have an i-mate jamin and have problems with wifi...My rom is prophet touch VIII at the moment... but the problem isn't with the rom cause i tried many of the roms...the problem started while i was using latest wwe jamin official rom...there wasnt a problem at begining but it suddenly started 3 or 4 months later on, donno why... ( never dropped it ..=) ) .I can enable my wifi via comm mng ...the led is blinking i can see the mac adress of the wifi in the settings( so cant be a hardware prob i think) ..but cannot find any networks not even searches for them..and when i manuallay enter the network data even i'm a step away cant even find it..the problem is not new for me..it starterd actually before but one day turned to normal...i waited enough, (3 months ) but not even a change.....looking for your advise and solutions pls thnx in advance.
Hi all
Have been browsing your excellent site for some while now and have used many ideas with past and present phones.
Hope someone can help me as I have been very frustrated over this problem. I have a Orange M5000 which refuses to turn on the WiFi or at best now and again, at work it will turn on no problem but at home the only way to get it work is to turn on the WiFi and do a soft reset the WiFi then activates while Orange is establishing connection but before the UMTS appears. I have had a new sim card from Orange but if anything its worse. Dose anyone have fix for this or some info on the problem so I can get Orange sort it out.
Thanks in advance
Regards Andy
