Need Help with Phone Radio Toggling and No Network Connection - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi. I have been trying various programs such as PocketZenPhone (version 4.5.1), Tweakster with VJVolubilis, and PPC Profiles to create scheduled phone profiles on my 8125. With each program, I have run into the same problem. When the program toggles the phone radio back on from flight mode, it will not connect to the AT&T network. If I use the CommManager or the tray icon available from BatteryStatus, toggling the phone radio will result in connection with the network.
I'm thinking this might be a Wizard issue or a WM5 issue. Is there something I can do to help these programs connect to the network automatically rather than just turning on the phone radio (ie a registry hack that would automatically connect to the network when the phone radio is on)? Thanks.

Not the smoothest meathod, or most practical depending on where you are, but how about wi-fi? Either a card, or better yet built in. I remember reading that some devices actually turn the phone radio off when utilizing wi-fi, but it can be done manually easily!!!

I don't utilize my wifi often. When I do, the wifi doesn't affect the phone radio. I'm looking for automated phone setting based on time to shut down the phone radio and bluetooth at night while keeping my phone on standby then to go back to previous setting in the morning.
I'm guessing this is more of a Wizard issue since others who have used the program haven't had the same problem. The question is why toggling the phone radio would result in no network connection while using the CommManager that came with the phone would result in network connection.
Another problem I came up with is now my phone will not give an audible ring. When I set my phone at level 4 for the ringer, it sets back to zero when someone calls. I think it is the setting I left it in when I uninstalled the program. I'm not sure.
Any thoughts or help? Thanks.

Update to the second problem that I mentioned. I reinstalled PPC Profiles Pro and reset my phone setttings and it solved the problem. Unfortunately, I still have the phone radio toggling problem.

GPRS Stops Working

Traded up(?) to the Niki from a Tornado, I use push email from the works exchange server, over Vodafone contract GPRS, the Tornado was always great for this.
Setup the Niki with the same GPRS settings, when I turn it on everything works, push email, internet browsing etc. After a while it stops working, can't sync, can't browse the web, or even get a weather update. Though it still says it's got a good GPRS connection.
Switch off and back on and it all works again for a short while, then same again.
I've even flashed wioth Tom's ROM to see if that improved things, still the same.
Stoping and starting the GPRS connection doesn't help.
Proxy, DNS, other issue ?
Any ideas ?
I have the same problem. The only way to restore it in my experience is by activating 3G in the comms manager (or restarting). From there the phone will log off from the data connection and log back on again. From the searching I've done it seems to be a problem related to WM6. I also use push mail and, when this happens, it's very annoying. Haven't found a solution yet. I've tried an alternate DNS address (still nothing), I've tried upgrading the radio to a Kaiser ROM (same problem), and I've tried using Toms ROM (still the same problem). I was hoping that upgrading the radio ROM would solve it, but it hasn't. I'm going to try and have the phone on 3G all day and see if it drops out of connection. If it doesn't then that would indicate some problem with the GPRS side of WM. I don't think it's a setting thing, but I could be wrong. I wish I could find a solution though because I'm considering moving to an N95 8Gb...
I have the same issue,
see my post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374226
but with no reply...
When it occurs I can switch off the phone part (plane mode), but I can't switch back on, it stucks to plane mode... I've to shutdown the device to be able to restart a good data connection.
Maybe a WM6 bug... or radio rom issue .. I dunno
Thanks both,
I've changed the radio rom to this one, RUU Nike Radio 1.64.08.21K , which is a hacked Kaiser one, seems a bit better, still a low signal, but quicker reconection, and the GPRS stays up longer.
Vodafone UK
Tom's Rom
RUU Nike Radio 1.64.08.21K
Cheers.
GPRS connectivity issue
Same issue here. Push mail, GPRS, internet stops working after a while. Sometimes it works for a day or less. I place it into plane mode and then turn off plane mode. and it usually works. Sometimes i have to reboot the whole thing, but not very often.
The display still shows G in the top box, but doesn't work.
Anyone have any fixes, or suggestions...
OMG, didn't know that this is a common problem.
Waiting for the SE XPERIA X1.

Please Help with Toggle Phone Radio, No Network

Hi. I have been trying various programs such as PocketZenPhone (version 4.5.1), Tweakster with VJVolubilis, and PPC Profiles to create scheduled phone profiles on my 8125.

I too have been having inconsistent results with vjvolubilis. I have written a mortscript to toggle between GSM and AUTO and incorporated vjvolubilis for radioon/radiooff. Sometimes the network does not "engage" and have to manually cycle the radio to get "back on".
Have you found a solution?

Wireless starts automatically? (and: weather not updating)

I switch wireless OFF, some time later, it all of a sudden is ON
I'm using Elegancia ROM now, but have had it before on Miri ROM as well (same base).
I used task manager to debug, since I suspected ActiveSync to be responsible which I have set to sync every 10 min, but no luck.
(!) possibly related: weather for "my location" only wants to update when I'm at home and connected to my wireless network. Update is not working when I'm at work and using Edge GSM. Again, I've had this before as well, and problem disappeared automatically since I flash a new ROM every few days Any ideas? It's driving me nuts! I can't have Leo win over me
This is a bug, that happens if you use a third party tool to turn off WLAN.
If you use the comm-manager, it won't come back.
It's related to activesync in following situation:
Third party tool disables WLAN, while activesync (especially direct push) and gsm/umts data-connection is running.
-> entering no coverage of data-connections or roaming situation will trigger WLAN on.
There is NO tool on the market, that will turn off WLAN like the comm-manager does. Even not G-profile.
I was thinking of running comm-manager with a command line switch to toggle wlan, but I don't think there are such switches.
Well, I think we'll have to live with this (this is a really old bug)

T-Mobile HD2: Wifi Keeps Turning On Automatically

So I've noticed this over the past few days since I've been flying and in bad service areas. When there is no network access, such as being in Airplane mode, or in a no service area, my Wifi automatically turns on. I have Activesync polling every 15 minutes, so I can only imagine that the phone is trying to access the network, is unable, and starts up Wifi.
Is anyone else having this problem, and does anyone know how to turn it off?
Thanks.
are you using 3rd party software to toggle Wifi? (e.g. Wifitoggle) It seems that only the Comm.Manager can turn on/off Wifi properly.
I've used the HD2 Connectionz shotcuts. Even without using those it was happening, though.
I am having the same issue as well.......anyone fixed this?
me 2.
But I've only noticed this after using a Wifi toggle.
I had it after installing the home tab quicklink toggles, uninstalled it, everything OK again.
Now I've installed the End key with Wifi... and the problem returns...
I'm going to check my dialing rules, maybe that will help.
I have been having this issue too over the last 2 or 3 weeks, i have no wifitoggle or anything like that installed. I turn my GPRS off when i have finished using my phone and if the phone cant get a gprs connection when locked it seems to auto turn the wifi on in the hopes that you are next to one of the few wifi spots you have enabled on the phone!
This needs looking at and fixing cos i find my wifi connection drains the battery big time esp when there is nothing to connect to as i am at work!
guys i m having the same issue ..i think its a bug in hd..2 i just got the phone 2 days..ago any solution
wifi
This issue still hasn't been resolved in the 3.14 rom with 2.14.50.04 radio....
using energy rom september 23/24 21679
I believe it's related to the wi-fi toggle in cht, still testing...
edit: The wifi issue IS solved when using Comm manager to turn wifi off, not using the toggle as stated by ozkaya
have the same problem, did some research on this and for me anyway its is, I have push email set up from google and if i am on a phone call wi-fi turns on to keep the connection alive, also if i have no service then again wi-fi to keep connection active
Anyone found the solution for this issue already? I have got the Raphael, but the issue is the same. Activesync with gmail, it checks for mails every 30 minutes. Whenever there is no network it automatically turns on the WiFi. I replaced Radio on my device and the problems are not too often, but it has only something to do with the strength of signal. For me this happens only when I have ActiveSync synchronization set up. If I use IMAP all is ok.
EDIT: I think the issue is about toggle buttons in CHT. When I got to the connection manager a switch off the WiFi there instead of by the CHT Toggle button, the problem disappeared.

This is definetly the case, the issue only hapoens when switching off wifi using Cht toggle. Use com manager and alk is ok

Annoyances and bugs in Xperia X2 MR2-Release [Updated 3 July 2010]

Hi all!
I started again a new thread where i write down my findings in the MR2 release of the X2. It's originally on the Esato-forums, so i just put the link over here:
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=196737
Nice THKS.

YEp, and having the phone on silent does not make things better either...
Fix
i used registry editor and changed the value of calldrop from p(play) to none.
Rene,
when you hear 3 tones after call finish - is bluetooth activated in this moment for your x2? For example, do you use BT connection to your X2 in your car (handsfree)? Do you think that there is some special requirements for BT headset using to generate this sound on main unit if call was finished?
when you see bad power consumption results - is wifi activated in communication manager in your X2? I think that if you activate wifi - it can be reason for huge additional current if unit can't find appropriate wifi network for some reason.
For example, I found that if I activate wifi - I always should connect unit to charger every day. Then I found that this is specific issue only for me. The specific way of my wifi using is followed - I use 2 different wifi connections to my X2 (on home - secured network through router and in office - open wifi network). I do have connection issues every morning in office and every evening in home. Even if my X2 reports that it's connected to office network - I can see in status bar in Today screen that it's trying to conect again and again - and also I can't use browser or Goggle maps because no data connection is available through wifi. After I power off/on my unit - it can really connect to office wifi network and I can use browser and receive mails e t.c. When I return to home, I see that unit still be connected to office network - but it's impossile. And again - I can't use browser or receive mails by using my X2. After I power off/on unit - it can connect to home network. I can't fix issues in office and in home just turn off/on wifi in communication manager - issue still be actual after this. So, what I do every day - I turn off/turn on my unit every morning after arrive to office and again power on/ power off unit every evening when arrive home So I should spent 2 minutes every morning and 2 minutes every evening to reboot unit. On other hands I think that this is step to avoid more serious issues after couple of days of Windows using - you know usially you can see performance degradation after 1 week of using of any WinMob device - looks like this is result of lot of memory leaks, memory corruptions inside MSFT SW.
if we are talking about unexpected password issue or issue when you can't unlock unit by LOCK icon sliding left or right after press on power on button - for me it looks like memory is corrupted in MSFT lock app. As result some password is requested even if user never activates this password for lock screen. But it's clear that in reality, unit doesn't story in memory any password to compare with entered one - otherwise after power off/on sequency unit still ask password from you. But as I see in the same situation with my X2 - after I remove/insert battery and power on unit - I never see again this issue just after unit goes to Idle.
I think that memory, which is used by MSFT Lock code, can be corrupted only in scope of the same Windows process (of cause if memory is isolated for all processes in WinMob - I hope it's true) - so only other MSFT code can corrupt this memory. Do you know about any public forum where we can ask help from MSFT to see in this issue? I never see that Aaron wrote anything about any contacts in MSFT - but I think that MSFT should be also responsible for any product if Windows logo is applyed to device with WinMob?
To reduce the probability of this issue I never use AutoLock and always lock unit by click on Lock icon in Today panel or by long press on right HW kwy (with key sign).

IT WORKED!!!
thank youuu
wifi
Hi! I have a similar issue with the wifi that PanichUS described.
The phone sees the network, tells that it's available, but I am not able to connect to it (so I can not do internet browsing, read the emails, etc.)
This happened to me while switching from one network to another, which were in two different places (and the phone was showing the network still available of the place I have already left). But in my case rebooting the phone did not help.
This is not the only case. The same thing also happens to me after I use bluetooth. The phone is connected to the wifi network (I could do internet browsing, etc.), I use bluetooth, and after that I can no more recover the connection. Again it shows that the network is available, but I can not connect to it.
The only thing which helped by now was restarting my house router.
Is the MR2 the last release of the firmware by date? I have bought my phone recently, and for me it seems that it was updated: I have radio, and the theme with grey background (X2 Titan) was activated in the very beginning.
MR2 is last update for X2. Don't wait another update.
Try turn off Wifi in Communication manager before power off and turn on Wifi back in Communication manager after power on.
Wifi
I have discovered that in fact I don't have problem to connect when using an open network, while with the protected one is always an issue.
Reboot of the phone doesn't change anything even if before doing it I switch off wifi in the connections manager and delete all the settings. Nothing - only reset of the router what helps.
I also tried to use other software (Wifi Monster) - the same thing.
The phone is really wonderful, it really has it's spirit with all these panels and generally the interface, but the wifi issue is really annoying!
My advice - don't install Resco Photo manager on X2.
Great app but works very bad on X2.
I instaled older version Resco.Photo.Manager 7.03. This work good.
Wisbaradvance 4.05 is verry unstable,problems and problems.
