my friend has a 9800 as well...
an he seems to be having a issue with his wifi...
i guess when he turns on tha little switch on the side... no icon appears
an therefor no internet access...
his phone is out tha box and other than tha task manager prog tha htc home plugin and streaming media program that i gave him hes done nothing to it...
any ideas???
I assume you mean 6800, not 9800... but anyway...
The wifi (as far as I or other people on this forum know) is a hard-switch. That means that it isn't really controllable by software, but rather when the switch is on, the wifi radio is on, and vice-versa.
If the operating system doesn't recognize that the wifi is on, it sounds like the switch might be broken. However, rather than relying on the icon to come up, try going to settings -> connections -> wifi and checking whether it can detect anything there.
Good luck!
the wifi is software controllable when the switch is on, so make sure he doesnt have any software that disables the wifi (i have SPB phonesuite on mine, and if i turn off wifi in phonesuite it doesnt come on when i flip the switch)
respect for the responses ill pass that info on to him...
*thumbs up*

Dear all,
I'm wondering about Wifi telephony on the QTEK 9100.
It works fairly well with various software soutions. However, the phone has to stay "fully on" (except backlight) in order for th Wifi connection to remain up. This alters battery life severely.
I'm wondering if it is possible to have the Wifi connection stay up during power save mode, with some kind of "Wake on WLAN" event that would wake up the phone so that IP phone software can process incoming data.
Some of it already happens for GSM. I'm wondering whether the GSM part is "fully independant" (like on a different processor), or if it's handled by the main processor. In the later case, it may be possible to achieve something similar with Wifi telephony.
Thanks in advance for any hint.
so there is no way having WIFI enabled and lettign the pda go to sleep mode / power save mode ??
is there an APP that leaves power save mode off if the WIFI is enabled, so only the screen goes of light, and the pda stays on ?
P.

It's fully independent. It's very cleverly written; this is why, for example, listening to incoming IMAP IDLE or Push Mail callbacks don't require the CPU at all.
yes i got that part on my own, thats why the GPRS connection stays on... but still there should be a registry somewhere to prevent device to go to sleep if WIFI conneciton is made..
tried all the powermode stuff in regisrty, nothn worked... out of clue...

I don't think you can do this - the WI-Fi module is completely independent of the radio module. Furthermore, you'll constantly need a LOT of power to keep the Wi-Fi connection up, as opposed to GSM/GPRS, where handshaking is only done during roaming to another cell and/or every (AFAIK) 10-20 minutes. Otherwise, the PDA doesn't trasmit anything, a sopposed to the Wi-Fi case.
That is, it seem sit's impossible to do any long-term Wi-Fi "listening" in the current Wi-Fi / PPC architecture.

all i need is a tool that disables POWERSAVE mode if WIFI connections is made, or even if WIFI is enabled...
that would do all the work....
anyone ?
i think the closest thing is in phm powertoys (http://www.phm.lu/products/PocketPC/PowerToys/)
the screensaver option... what it does is turn off your touchscreen like in "sleep" mode but if u use this you might want to disable the power save option cause while u have screensaver on its still gonna count down n shut off ur ppc hope this helps!
I can not on wi-fi. Help me.
What happens when u try to start it from comm Manager
nothing, buton Wifi no chance when i click it
Mumble. Right. When you switch on Wifi, does the icon change colour?
It should match the colour of one of the other active options, such as Phone or Ringer.
When the wifi is active, how are you 'testing' that it is working?
If I switch my wifi on, it will eventually pop up a message about other secure wifi networks available, but if you haven't any in your area then that will not happen.
Do you have your own wifi transmitter, such as a router, wireless access point or another computer/device?! If so, what?!
Still not chance. Wifi can not "on"

What are you trying to mate your PDA Wifi too?
Also, there is the Search feature at the top of the site, click on that and put something in like prophet+wifi and have a look at other peoples responses.
Oddly enough I had the same issue. I'm on a WM6 Prophet and my wifi didn't start.
After som soft resets, I realised that the BT was on, so I disabled it and tried to star Wifi... It worked like a charm.
Try that, Bluetooth on and off and then try connecting wifi.
Is there a way I can reconfigure the WiFi switch on my Mogul to enable Bluetooth instead of WiFi?
Unfortunately, I believe the answer is no for the wi-fi switch is hardware employed to the wi-fi radio. Soft buttons can be re-assigned but the physical wi-fi switch would have to be re-soldered to the BT radio in order to perform the operation you are requesting...
i wouldnt give up just yet.
I say that because with some of the early cooked ROM's people would have the switch turned off but the WiFi would still be on. So that makes me wonder if it really is hard wired or ifs its really a software controlled thing.
I have read many threads related to this topic with the same conclusion. However, if there is a way to re-map the hardware wi-fi switch on the side to BT, etc then I stand corrected and I am pleased that somone has enabled the modification.
Currently I know that the physical wi-fi switch can be left in the ON position and wi-fi can be enabled/disabled through the 10-button comm manger by editing the registry. Some guys at PDAPhone have a thread where they were inquiring about re-mapping the wi-fi switch to toggle vibrate but with no success.
I will research this and see if anyone has yet successfully remapped the wi-fi switch and post results here...

I say keep looking, sooner or later someone will find it. I can confirm that in the past I have seen my wireless function with the switch in the off position. Granted all I saw were available wireless networks, didn't attempt to join or verify. I just wish I could remember what ROM I was playing with when I saw this occur.
Depending on the adapter (mine is set to TNETW12511) setting in the registry, your wi-fi will connect while disregarding the hardware switch's position.
But re-mapping the entire physical connection itself to another function (vibrate, bluetooth, etc) outside of wi-fi capability may be more complicated...
If the switch is physically located in the wifi radio good luck ... I could see how one could enable or disable it with software because your just bypassing the function of the actual switch. Remapping the switch to work for an entirely different piece of physical hardware seems less likely. I'm not saying its impossible but ...
it would depend if the software is aware of the switch at all, it would seem to be a hard switch, but if wifi was indeed enabled with the switch off then it would have to be a soft switch
although it could also be that the custom rom was aware of the wifi, and just didnt realize it was powered off
YES

A couple of the new ROMs from PPCkitchen (19588 & 20270, I think) have a new app in the System Settings folder called "nueWIFISwitch CPL v1.3". It allows you to edit the hrdware switch bahaviors.
Hope I'm not too late to help. I see the O.P. is from a while back.
Just checking in.
anybody actually get this to work.
the nue app would work it we could get a bluetoothON.exe and bluetoothoff.exe
then just map those programs to work with the nue app - and there you go hardware on off bluetooth switch.......
anybody....
I've done a search, but can't find any way to get a plug-in for the Today screen where I can switch wireless, etc, on or off...
Any ideas or recommendations?
I must admit, that would be handy
Having to click the signal icons at the top of the screen, then a specific one, wait for a second for it to tell me there is no wireless connection (yes - I know! - it's becuase you went to sleep becuase I ignored you for a minute, so you turned yourself off and turned off the pigging wireless connection for me! ), and then click comms manager...
is indeed a PITA
Just found http://www.paulbdesign.com/effcomm/ which appears to work on a WM6 screen (i.e. not TouchFLO).
However it doesn't have GPRS which is my main concern as I can never tell how much data I'm using and I'm paranoid it'll be doing stuff...
Hi
is there any program which turns on WIFI for windows email checking and turn it off afterward(even in standby state)?
Would LOVE it !
Yes there is But, its not free, it's $10.00. The app is called "ct scheduler" It'll allow you to turn on/off wifi at anytime you like and however many times you like. Theres more features also, like turning on/off bluetooth, sending a sms at a given time, schedule a softreset, adjust volume at chosen times, and more. i love this app, but again, it's $10.00.

try sk tools i think they have something that will do it or a app that will

I think you mean SKSchema.
What I'm looking for is this:
An app that uses the GPS to turn WiFi ON at predetermined coordinates.
So for example, I walk to the coffee shop, GPS knows I'm getting close, turns WiFi ON. WiFi auto-connects while I'm there, as I step out, it times out at the preset time (part of wm6). I drive to the office, again, GPS know to turn Wifi ON and phone then auto connects to the network there. Same when I get back home.
This will save me some $ on data plan and get me a faster connection when I'm in a friendly wifi zone.
Thoughts?
