I bought a second hand HTC P4350 off eBay. As soon as I received it, I registered it with HTC eClub and downloaded the Windows Mobile 6 upgrade. The upgrade process was flawless.
The problem is that Wi-Fi is not working. I press the button on the right, the comm. Manager appears, and there’s an “X” over the Wi-Fi icon. I click on it, the round color circle appears for a few seconds, and then it goes away, and there’s still an “X” on the Wi-Fi icon.
So I tried it differently. I went to “Start >Settings>Wireless Lan> Turn on Wireless LAN” but nothing happens.
What could be the problem here?
Thanks.
Ok, try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326655
Step 2: (Fixing WLAN button malfunction, somehow it doesn’t work by default on Wing): **Thanks for beowulf6’s post for this fix.
Change "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE \HTC \CommManager \WLAN= "Windows WLanMgr.exe " "DeviceName" = "{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006} TNETW12345"
the end of this long String is the WLAN-Adaptername of the Device.
just change in this Example "TNETW12345" into "TNETWLN1"
-Step 3: (Fixing Wi-Fi setting launch issue) **Thanks for phatman81’s post for this fix.
Change "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\CommManager\WLAN\ Default:"
\Windows\WlanMgr.exe --> \Windows\ctlpnl.exe
Good luck
Tried it, not working
Any more suggestions?
-Step 3: (Fixing Wi-Fi setting launch issue) **Thanks for phatman81’s post for this fix.
Change "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\CommManager\W LAN\ Default:"
\Windows\WlanMgr.exe --> \Windows\ctlpnl.exe
On the last line instead of ctlpnl.exe put WLANSettings
That should do the trick. You will need to click on left soft button on Menu to access your Network Configuration screen! Good luck!
Ok, now I can see the WIFI settings, but as for changing "TNETW12345" into "TNETWLN1", my P4350 says "TIACXWLN1". SHould I change anything there?
Thanks
Hi,
It seems like I have this problem to.
When I go to Connmanager and tap my Wifi button, it starts to scan but eventually it wil not start. The Wifi icon still has a red cross in it.
I have tried every way but my Wifi wont start.
I have searched for the registry strings above, but cant find them.
So my question is if someone knows which string enables you Wifi adapter....
I have the P4350 With WM6. No extras installed. I use the HERALD-USPL-beta3full
Pleas anybody help me otherwise ill have to send it back....
The problem is that i cant find the specified keys above... In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE \HTC \CommManager
is no Wlan folder, and no defined strings......
i changes all that on mine and it still does not work
I'm having this same problem with my wi-fi.
It has started when I tried to change my official version of p4350's WM to the one with the TOUCH's Cube and touchflo posted in this tread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=345347&highlight=cube+p4350
I heard that Touch duo don't have wi-fi, and I'm affraid that this could have removed my "Sdio Wlan" driver from my p4350.
I've made a hard reset, and installed the official WM for my phone, but it still not working the wi-fi.
Please, someone can help us? Cause it's really sad to loose that funcionality on the device.
Could it be just a reenstalation of the SDIO WLAN driver? If yes, how to do this?
Can anybody pleas tel me where the registry keys for WIFI are..?
If I know where to look than ill try to find the answer my self. But i cant find the correct keys and values.
If i find out, then ill post the solution right away.!

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem.
When i go into the registry path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE \HTC \CommManager
I do not have a WLAN folder.
So i cannot change any registry settings related to WLAN.
I did a fresh install of WM6 from the HTC website and do not have any programs or apps loaded on it besides my registry edit application.
When i go to Configure Network Adaptors, i can see teh SDIO WLAN Wireless adapter and i can change the ip address settings, just to check and see if it works.
Please help me!!!

Hi guys,
I've been playing with PIToday for a couple of days now but I noticed one thing: My bluetooth icon on the Today screen disappeard after using PIToday. The only way to get it back for me is unchecking PIToday and soft reset. This is a bummer!
I've been checking some sites for solutions but could only find the solution mentioned above and one solutions for a 3870. This was putting a shortcut to the bluetooth icon in the startup folder. In the case of a MDA II, there is no such shortcut possible. I checked the registry and Windows directory but the is no .exe file which will start the bluetooth icon. Only .dll. But I don't know where to point it to. :?:
Any other suggestions? Because I would like to buy PIToday but I still want to access my bluetooth from the Today screen.
Wouter
Even though I am a huge fan of Pocket Informant, i experienced a lot of issues with the PI today plug in and stopped using it. It may be incompatability with other software I also have installed but as well as the missing BT icon it also caused instability (lock ups) and the occassional auto soft reset.
In regard to the missing BT icon though PI today is not the only culprit. Users of Pocket Breeze from SBSH Mobile software have reported the same issue. Only way to restore it is unselect the today plug in and soft reset.
Ed
Hi Ednap,
Somebody suggested a sort of sulution for me: Using Zenphone. In Zenphone there is an option to turn bluetooth on and off in a profile. And it seems to work!
It is not the solutions but a least it is workable.
Wouter
hi,
some kind of solution
get the tool "No Plugins today" (h**p://www.ictinus.com/NoPluginsToday/)
install it (of coz)
insert into your registry a new string like this
HKEY_LOCAL_MASCHINE\init\LaunchXX where XX is the highest number of the Launch under INIT (I use "Launch90")
enter as the stringvalue the path to the tool e.g. "\Storage\NoToday\NoPluginsToday.exe" or whereever you have installed the tool
insert a link under \Windows\startup or \windows\autostart (depends of the language) and point it again to this tool. Rename the Link in such way, that it will run last (eg. "XXXNoToday")
ok, thats all, reset your device, and enjoy your Bluetooth icon
It is not a failure by any of the Today-Plugins, which make the icon vanish, it's just a timeout of the btdll, caused by Plugins, which need too much time to initialize itself, so the icon just nor appear.
What does this thing?
after reset it removes the todayscreens, the bluetooth icon appears, and after that the notoday-tool switches the plugins on again.
you need some more time (3-4 secs) after the reset, but, who cares, you got the icon back

Nice work, IvkovicD!
I'll give it a try and I'll post this solution also at the PIToday forum. I'm sure this solutions is a great help for Deje the maker of the program.
B.t.w I tried SnoopSoft Dash Today Advanced today to see if I like it. It is not bad. A bit slow but guess what happens?
My headset profile is now gone! First I thought it was because I had too many Todayplugins but after removing a few and soft resetting it still wouldn't come back. Any suggestions for this one?
Thanks,
Wouter
To create a shortcut to Bluetooth copy the following into a shortcut file (text file with lnk extension i.e. Bluetooth.lnk):
34#\windows\ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,23
and copy it across to your PPC
My headset profile is now gone!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Might it be that your profile is just gone from the Today screen? Check Settings>Personal Tab>Today>Items Tab and see if Profile is checked.
Hi Mark,
No. The headset profile was not there anymore in the list. I contacted Chris Scott, who makes DashToday and the only solution he had for now, was to uninstall the program.
Not realy a good option in my opinion.... Especialy because I just bought the program because there is no trial avaliable.
For your other solution:
I want to make sure that I realy understand. You want me to make a textfile and name it i.e Bluetooth.lnk. In this file there should be the line:
34#\windows\ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,23
Then copy this file to my PPC and presumably to the startup directory?
Just want to make sure.
Thanks,
Wouter

Copy it to the Start Menu folder. It won't bring back your bluetooth icon back but you will be able to access the settings from the start menu.
Thanks,
I give it a try later.

Hi,
I know this effect. I've have this "vanishing", too, if I install too much today- plug ins. Just grab your favourite registryeditor and delete some build-in today-registry entries for today items, e.g. original-task, or some of the other build in ones. If you need it (I don't believe that , make a backup, but really, do you need them?)
reset your device, the missing plugs should appear again...
Sometimes, the OS just do not display some today-plugins, if there are too much entries into registry, even, if you do not activate them...maybe at MS nobody thought that someone needs more then 5 todayplugs at once...
just joking

Hi Dejan,
Sounds like an interesting solution. Want to give it a try but I can't find the path to the right regkeys. :?: Do you know were those keys are to be found?
Wouter
Hi Dejan,
I found the reg keys. (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today) and deleted the Task, Calendar and Owner Info keys. Then I did a soft reset but my Bluetooth icon didn't reappear.
Too bad.
Did it work for you?
Wouter
If I press wlan button in Comm Manager than WiFi should be ON but it is not. I did use some different roms but still nothing. Somebody know what to do ?
settings-connections-wireless lan - there is only message:
Wireless LAN is OFF.Turn on Wireless LAN.
It does not work. Please help me.
Go back to wm5. If your lucky it might come back. The more I dig through here the more I see people with wifi problems after flashing. You might be out of luck
HOWEVER
I noticed under WM6 the bubble that pops up when you click on the wifi tower ALWAYS says 'turn on wifi'
Good luck!
Same problem with my WI-FI, Not working please help!!!!
Hi All. I am facing the same problem with my WI-FI as Vomithaus is having. Whenever I try to to connect to WIFI from Commmanager, it tries to and then to show disconnected. When i go to settings> Wireless LAN, it asks me to "Configure Network Adaptors", and lists all the adaptors and going into them asks about the ip settings and stuff like that. By the Way I Bricked my phone once and then i flashed with T-Mobile Ship WM6.0 RUU for the WING. And I strongly suspect that the registry setting are not right or the Radio ROM is F***ed up. Can any knowledgeable person help me please? I would greatly appreciated any help.
Same problem with my WI-FI, Not working please help!!!!
This is the addeneum to the last post. The last remaining screenshot for the above post. The last screen shot of the "Wi-Fi Status" in the "Settings > Connection", gives me an option to "Turn on Wi-Fi" but toggeling it results in nothing. Thank You everybody for your time and consideration.
It might help us to figure out how this happened too. I bought the EXEC off of ebay and it was like this from the get go. The previous owner flashed it to wm6 about 1 month ago, but said it was working fine... all he did was hard reset to get rid of the personal information. I want to believe him, but there are a few people on here complaining of flashing the exec and losing wifi. (even the official rom from O2).
Flashing COULD have damaged the transmitter, but it seems more likely that a setting is wrong somewhere (especially since there is a slider bar for WIFI battery vs performance).
This is good news (somewhat), but the bad news is that if there is one, no one knows about it. I have messed around in the registry (there were some promising entries related to POWER), but nothing that even showed a response. I found the entry that connects to the slider bar, but PERFORMANCE = zero, so there is nowhere to go there but WORSE.
This really sucks, is all I can say. I blew $500 on something that is useless (well... not useless, but no WIFI? WHY COULD IT HAVE NOT BEEN BLUETOOTH!)
Another step I have taken is contacting PPC Tech's via email and asking them if they have any idea how to repair it, and how much $$$
I'll keep you informed.
Can you tell me if yours EVER worked, and if so, when it stopped?
I just looked closer at your screenshots.... Do you have a WIFI card? (it say's 'adapter').
No, I dont have a WIFI card but this is way how windows handles all is peripherals (services), as an add-on card. just like you laptop.
Guys, There is a registry fix for this problem.

I am afraid Ron that this is not a case as suggested in Beowulf6's solution. If it is the solution I dont know how to exactly implement it. But I am posting here the exact registry key screenshot for you guys to take a look also. I can't see and TNETWLN1 or TNET12345 key here in my device. I still think it has to something with the registry. Can any one here with a T-Mobile WING verify and post their screen shot? or maybe send me a registry backup to compare with? It would be really grateful it some does that. Thanks everybody for a few seconds to read this.
In my herald i can't see TNETWLN1 or TNETWLN12345 too.
I did use Mobile Registry Editor for that , what you guys are useing?
(sorry for my English, if you dont understand me just tell me please)
Look at the screenshots, there a Reg Folder with the name WLAN, open it, and then open the key with all the numbers and letters. At the end of that line is a code. TNETWLAN1 is what it should be for the Herald.

It is like Bio88 says.
You are already on the right track... click on WLAN and you will find the key.
Change the value of the key into TNETWLAN1
Done

Hi Please look at my screen shot again clearly. I did post what is inside the WLAN folder. There are only two keys :
1) (Default) \Windows\ctlpnl.exe
2) CmdLine cplmain17
I still can't figure where is the key with numbers and letters. Sorry If I am a bit dumb or wrong. Thanks.
it is possible if you use the default Commanager that you dont have this registry key.
I dont know if it helps if you create it on your own.
but for me where i installed a different commanager, the Key was there and i edited it for the wlan button.
My Tmo Wing has "TIACXWLN1" in that registry key.
Do those changes apply to the herald and the Wing interchangeably?
Hi,
I need to toggle wifi (turn it on/off) in my program HButton.
I that moment, I use following procedure:
1, find registry HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State search for key that starts with {98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006} – I read somewhere, that this is way to find out WiFi device name
2, use GetDevicePower / SetDevicePower for that name
But two bugs was reported to me from users
- on some devices WiFi registry key wasn‘t found.
- Sometimes, it doesn’t work after device boot, if it wasn’t at least once turned on using another tool.
Is there another way to turn wifi on/off, or how to find WiFi device name?
On my device (Trinity w6.1) it works fine, so it’s hard to find a bug.
Thanks for help

Hi i have a strange Problem wieth my HTC touch! (ELFIN)
But I think i need an expert for Wlan-techik here! Thats why I post in this Forum!
I cannot activate Wlan!
Doings so through the CommManager will show the "waitig symbol" for 5 Secondes the Wlan says off again.
I have read!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=301960
My Registry Key for the Commanager seems to be correct!
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE \HTC \CommManager \WLAN "DeviceName" = " {98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006} \\ TNETW12511
The Settings for
HKLM\Comm\TnetWln1\HTCPreloadStatus --> 1
HKLM\Comm\TnetWln1\HTCPreloadWifi --> 1
I could find in another place! : /HKLM/Software/HTC/Wifiint
Setting them did work once. I could afterwards use Wlan for a whole day. And then suddenly it went off again and never came back on.
No Matter what rom or radio-rom I used! No matter who often ein soft- or hardreseted the Touch.
It seems as if the driver isn`t loaded correctly. In WiFiFoFum the device isn`t llisted!
Because of a hardware problem?
Because of a faulty driver? Can I exchange the driver?
Is there an errlog somewhere that will help?
How does the Commmanager try to start Wlan anyway?
Does it call an external programm? Whats is the name of it?
Is there a way to make sure there is a hardware defect?
Can someone answer these Questions?

You need to use the toshiba settings not the HTC one in comm manager, or try this:
Go to key in registy "HKLM\Software\Drivers\WLAN" and copy the value from 'AdapterName" string. Now go to key in registry "HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager\WLAN" and edit "DeviceName" string. You see there value like this: "{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\TNETW12511". Delete the last part of this value ("TNETW12511") and past the value "AdapterName" which you copy at end. Make soft reset and that is all. Now Wifi button on your device should work properly.
You should search this site as you will find the answer to most questions here. YouTube won't be much help for something this specialist.
