Yes!! I flashed the DCD rom on my friend's Mogul, and the wifi does not work. It activates, but it does not find any networks. I thought this was a hardware problem and suggested the HTC warranty or an insurance claim to my friend. But not, maybe not..
no, no...i think it is a hardware prob... it works sometimes for me with the OEM rom..and not other times.
what the hell is up with this!! it's the most annoying thing ever. I'm running dcd 1.6.10 and the signals (which are abundant) are only detected a small portion of the time and an even smaller portion of those times am I actually able to use the internet. so frustrating!

I have my data connection (3G, EDGE) ON 24 x 7 and I noticed that when I turned on Bluetooth on the device, it kills my data connection. The "U" or "G" icon disappear and the regular "Y" (antennae) icon is shown. All pending connection (i.e. file download) stopped.
This cause an issue with me because if I am downloading some data (I.e. Windows Live) and I need to connect to my Bluetooth headset, the download will fail because the data connection stopped.
Any one experienced this?
Anyone? Hello?

i have always had this issue whether hermes or wizard.. i think its just a common thing.. i dont believe there is a fix, but i could be wrong

Try a hard reset. If you've installed a lot of stuff, use SBP Backup first. If that doesn't fix then return it.

I have tried that, believe me. I also have 2 Cingular 8525 with different S/N and both exhibit the same problem. I am trying to avoid or at least delay returning the device until I confirmed that this is a known issue that won't be fixed until the next firmware.
In any case, I posted the question hoping that someone can help me just by turning on BT WHILE they're connected. Simple.
Throwing back the same suggestion you have given, would you return your device at the slightest hang or issue without posting on the forum, this one or anywhere else?

Thanks for confirming that. That's 4 Hermes (2 of mine, 1 belonging to my friend and yours) with the same problem.
Hey guys and gals,
I have used a tilt for the past week or so, and I'm realizing that my 8525 may have issues. I am on campus with lots of access points that are hidden for the most part with WEP security, and while the tilt never had any issues, my 8525 likes to drop the profile. While it's trying to connect, it will ask me for the WEP key again saying that it's incorrect, and if I dismiss that notification, it deletes the profile.
Am I the only one with this issue?
Thanks,
Joel
probably the ROM version...
what ROM are you using?
I am using the latest VP3G, 3.62.3, but if I remember correctly, the problem occurred in the WM5 rom from AT&T as well as the cooked WM6 I'm using now.
The radio version has not been touched that I know of -- it's still 1.16.
Anyone? Advice on what radio ROM to use, or would that fix the issue?
If your asking to upgrade the radio version for wifi performance, then don't because the radio has nothing to do with hermes wifi... Maybe a new os rom as mentioned will help...
I have the same exact problems with my 8525. My 8525 drops networks while my Tilt doesn't.
Mine had the same issue, i just upgraded to a different rom and it's fixed.
i had a similar issue but only when bluetooth was turned on as well. So when i want to use wifi i have to turn bluetooth off.
It didnt matter what ROM I was using.

Can anyone that switched roms confirm that they weren't using bluetooth all the time?
Turning on and off bluetooth is a major pain, but not as bad as having to drop another ROM on my phone
Thanks guys!
After flashing with a new ROM etc..
When I go into communications, and tap on wifi.....it turns on for a sec and then turns back off. Any suggestions?
Here is what I have done so far.....
Started with: Radio v. 1.39.00, ROM V. 2.13.656.2, Bootloader 1.2
Went to bootloader 2.40(via Hard-SPL-MF.exe), Scrosler's Titan ROM 3.26 w/touchflow. and then Radio 3.42.30.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions or solutions.

Try the hardware switch on the side of the unit. The software switch was never able to work under most ROMs that I have ever used.
I toggled that (WiFi switch), and it does the same thing for me.
Should I try another ROM or radio version? I don't want to do a bunch of flashing.......anyone know a good firmware version (and radio v.) with everything working and ready to go in terms of functionality? I don't mind putting all the carrier info in etc, just want all the radios to work afterwards (wifi, eV(cellular data), cell, bluetooth, IR)
Never heard of the problem. I say reflash because something happened.
Changed the battery power option under wireless to best performance.....everything works now
That's odd behavior. Post if it happens again.

When I use the ppckitchen my wifi refueses to work. I'm actually about to reflash it right now to DCD to see if it fixes it
Same Problem Here
The Switch seems to be malfunctioning...WHen I turn it off, it turns on the software for a second, then shuts off. WHen I turn it in the same thing happens. Really weird.
THis happened BOTH TIMES i reloaded the ROM.
im using the Kaiser Comm Manager(10 Buttons), and on it it always appears that the wifi is turned off, but functions fine with the switch

DO you see a MAC address in the WLAN advanced settings?
If not, you just need to write a new MAC address and your WIFI will work, or so I have heard.
so... how do we enter in a MAC address if it is missing?
Anyone?
guys
theres no fix take it to sprint and they will replace it happen to me twice
Ok
so for the last couple of days I've noticed that when at home, if I turn on the HD2's Wifi, my entire home network stops working. The router can no longer be accessed, even by wired Ethernet.
I figure it was a router issue, so I bought a newer better one by a different company - and what do you know: The same problem persists! As soon as I enable WiFi in my HD2 the router becomes unaccessible - and as I turn it off, all is well again.
I'm a computer technician, an MCSA and usually pretty good with those things, yet this issue baffles me. What on earth could cause that?
No other WIFI devices cause this issue, only my HD2.

What is the radio firmware version on the phone and what is the make, model and firmware revision of the router.
2 IT engineers are always better the one
My older router (with same problem) was 3Com 3CRWER200-75.
I replaced it with an Edimax BR-6524N. Same weird issue.
Both have latest firmwares.
My phone radio version... To be honst, I don't know how to check. My ROM version is 1.48.405.2 (71294) WWE - which is the stock rom of the Israeli version as supplied by Newpan.
Also worth mentioning, this didn't happen until a couple of days ago. Everyting was fine for months with the same exact configuration. SOMETHING must've changed, but what?
And how is it possible for my phone to kill two different routers?
I have the same problem with my laptop when running windows 7 but not linux....seems too me at least my problem is a driver issue.could be the damned for you too possibly. Was there a possible divert update on your phone?
I do not have an hd2 so I am not sure.
Edited for auto correct mistake

You check your phone radio revision the same way you check your rom version. Go to settings, about phone, software information and look for the line "radio version".
Your actual rom version is quiet old and if you are still using a stock rom then you may want to have a look at the htc website for your country and see if you can get 1.66 rom or newer.
I personally have never experienced this problem but i always use linksys or netgear networking equipment. The linksys router i have at home i've had for many years (it's a wrt54g v2.0) and it still works perfectly even though it's cpu and networking chipsets are overclocked and it runs a custom firmware.
Well, the ROM is the latest available for my country :-(
But anyway, I managed to solve it by deleted all my wireless preferences and just 'rediscovering' my home network from scratch. Surprisingly that worked and solved the problem, even on my old router.
Now I'm wondering if I should return the new one and stick to my trust good old one, or stick with the new one? It was pretty expensive, and I don't really use an N wireless connection anywhere anyway, so... What do you think, XDA?

You have no need for it, get your money back.
the hd2 is capable of N speeds. You just need to enable it in the registry. Personally i would use the old one till it dies and keep the newer one in a box till then but the choice is yours
The newer one is a lot of money I spent for something I didn't even need eventually. I'll be turning it back, I think.
Thanks to all who helped You guys rock!

great to hear that you've found a solution!
A thought came to mind while reading this thread.
Wonder if it's possible that a certain radio file/setting on your HD2 might've been corrupted and instead of generating the usual wifi signal, it could've generated a signal on the same frequency that completely jammed you're router signal?
Similar to the radio jammer units available in some countries that can be used for GSM, Wifi, etc... just a thought!
Im glad you brought this up because I had the exact same problem (accept I could connect via ethernet just wifi went dead), almost brought a new router after spending 2 days trying to set it up :/ It wouldnt allow anything to see the router wifi wise let alone connect to it via wifi. I havent turned my wifi on the phone since then but ill try reseting my settings later to see if that works. I didnt wanna risk screwing the router over lol. Im on stock 1.48 rom and radio on o2 as well

That's an interesting thought, and if it's true - reversing it could be a tool for evil - just imagine being able to shut down networks just like that...
Anyway, I'm glad my issue was solved. That Edimax N router is really expensive, and I like my trusty old 3Com way better.
My N*kia n95 used to f*ck up the router like this sometimes
Oh Noez!
So, everything has been fine. I have been playing w/ ROMS, every time I install one, I then hard reset, boot, and move on... All has been well, until today...
I had Kumar_s_TMOUS_Classic_V2.4.1_S23569_B2.14 installed all weekend, NO issues AT ALL! Yesterday, I got the bug and flashed Energy.Leo.23569.Sense2.5.MaxSense.Jul.10. All was well with that too, but I wasn't feeling it, so I went back to the same Kumar ROM I listed above. Data Problem!
I found that Data (which has showed "H" for HSPA since I HSPL'ed) was fine. I got back to work from lunch, enabled WiFi (but DIDN'T connect to a network), but then HSPA would not pull data. I went to the connections screen, WiFi was then grayed out, and Data Connection could be on or off, and #g on or off, same result no matter what...
I hard reset, same issue. I reflashed the ROM, same issue.
Now, I have flashed Kumar's TMOUS Premium V2.4 RC S23569 B2.13... Data doesn't work out of the box, even though it says it's there...
Any ideas? Please help lol
sounds more like a network issue. None of those roms should have a problem setting up network settings. (I assume you have been to settings menu all settings connections and tried running connection setup?)
Arent tmo upgrading all their high speed network all over the place at the moment? could be that, ,

I didn't know they were doing that. However, when I go back into connection manager, WiFi is grayed out after this issue. I'm not really blaming the ROM's since I have tried multiple, I'm just not sure what's up. I'm DL'ing a CleanEX ROM to try now...
Anyone else have thoughts?
And thanks Sam, much appreciated...
Now, under any ROM I load, the WiFi option in Connection Manager is grayed out...
do you have it connected to usb? that greys out wifi

I don't think I did, but I could be wrong. Probably a good call! Thanks...
Incidentally, it all works now. I flashed a CleanEX ROM as I left work, hard reset, and got intermittent data on the road. Then flash a Kumar ROM in the car, hard reset, and everything is back to normal. Odd. lol
One thing that was weird; as I was leaving work I tried to call 611 to test, and I got a msg that my phone isn't authorized on the network. That was AFTER running the connection wizard for TMo... lol
All good now, so whatever... lol
Thanks for the help guys!
