Hi HI! Happy to be here... WiFI Active Sync issue

Hello all,
Wow, am I glad I found this place. I got my Universal last weekend, and this site has just been a life saver.
Anyway, I got a bit of a problem. My Wifi works, except when I plug it into USB, and then it drops Wifi. Looking at connectinos, it's looking for a connection, and it finds one, but it will not take an IP. Any idea why?
Also, ActiveSync 4.2 seems to have an issue finding my Universal when I unplug, then replug it. Anyone else getting this?

Wifi issue on Tmobile MDA-- Help Please!

Thanks for taking the time to read me,
My wifi signal level on my MDA is always very low (one bar or nothing) even when I'm at 3 meters form a wifi router. I've tried many different routers and hotspots and always getting a very weak signal, while my laptop is getting maximum strengh. Because of this weak signal it's very difficult for me to connect in a hotspot, I'm loosing the connection all the time...
I've tried to hard reset the unit, same problem.
I've contacted Tmobile, and after hours on the phone I've convinced them to send me a new device. Belive it or not same issue on this new unit!!!
Does anyone in this forum knows something about a weak wifi signal on the Tmobile MDA?
Note that i never changed the firmware:
ROM version 2.26.10.2 WWE
ROM date: 6/7/06
Radio version: 02.25.11
Protocol version: 4.1.13.12
ExtROM version: 2.26.10.105
Any help is appreciated,
thx

Do I have a dud battery??

Hi,
Got my Hermes (xda trion) very recently. Have noticed a battery performance about as good as that of the Exec.
In fact, had full charge yesterday at 12pm. I now have 30% left (4:50pm). Bluetooth and wireless have been off. Call time: 9 mins exactly. Push email on (fairly good 3G reception). That's all the useage it's had.
Is this what I should be expecting from the Trion or have I got a dud battery??
Thanks in advance,
HPJ

HPJ,
I too found that my battery ran out of power very quickly - but only when at work during the week. The problem appears to have been caused by the Vario II (Hermes) spending all day jumping back and forward between networks whilst hunting for the best signal - only an issue at work.
I would recommend that you try one of Daniel's applications - he is working on Comm Manager Pro at the moment but I think that Bandswitch will probably help you - it solved my battery life issue completely. Although the Bandswitch application (very small footprint) will not increase the signal you may find that forcing the phone to operate in a particular band helps - this is very easily achieved via the Bandswitch interface rather than going into settings each time. I now regularly switch to GSM each day when I get to work and it has solved my battery run-down issue completely!
Comm Manager Pro does much the same and more. It allows you to define a location (according to Cell ID and LAC Code) from which you can set the CMP application to (amongst other functions) switch to a particular band - or even turn the phone off).
I hope this helps you. I'd just posted this elsewhere on this site and you will find plenty on both Bandswitch (linked) and CMP too.

Immense help, thank you Tony.
So if I understand this right, I have downloaded BandSwitch and run it, and I can now choose at will whether I want to use 3G (UMTS) or normal speed (GSM)? And for the phone to not have to continually decide which to use, I'm saving loads of battery? Simple as that?
I am currently testing, and fingers crossed it has solved the problem.

I havent found this to be a problem with my TyTN, walking around Uni all day I get varying areas of GSM and UMTS. Ive quite happily left it uncharged for a few days and still been left with around 25% charge remaining. The two main causes of battery drain i have noticed (as a trend in threads requesting help over the last year) have been the radio version and sometimes 3rd party apps.
What is your radio version??
also what apps have you installed?? (include the O2 crap)

Hi Mr Vanx, and thanks for taking a look.
The only apps I have are PocketTv (not even used yet), Kevtris (game), Sprite Backup (from O2, and Adobe reader (also from o2). Thats it.
The details of the phone are:
ROM version: 2.15.206.1
ROM date: 03/23/07
Radion version: 1.38.00.00
Protocol version: 32.71.7020.12H
ExtROM version: 2.15.206.101
Thanks for any help you can give.

Battery performance is terrible
I have tried upgrading my Tytn from WM5 to WM6, WM6 Black 2.5 and now on Black 3. The battery perfomance seems to be getting steadily worse.
If I leave it on my desk in a great 3G area on standby with just push email running (no wireless, bluetooth or anything else), I get about 6 hours sometimes 7. I don;t use it to make phone calls (I'm deaf) although I get the occasional text.
What's up with that? It doesn't even last a working day. Any suggestions?

The common factor with your case and the one above is Pushmail. There are a few things to consider here and they are outlined in the links that follow. In summary some folks find with Pushmail enabled the battery drains very fast, others notice little effect. So it may be a combination of things you may need to look at:
First to confirm it's pushmail causing the problem - you could run a test day with it not running.
How often is pushmail activated (reduce frequency)
Should you set to use GSM only - uses less battery
Do you get several e-mails large size etc etc
Is your device activating - though possibly not using wifi when pushmail is activated?

greetzz frontcode

Hello frontcode,
After you install HS++, enable it as a Today plugin. On your today screen, you'll notice some new information, like battery life and signal. Tap and hold to get the submenu, click on Tray Icons. Right above the bottom bar, there will be new icons, the middle one being WiFi. Click it and then on Turn on WLan.
Tell me if it work or not.
Cheers

ok i have done the thinks you say bud nothing happens i can`t enable the wifi (wlan)
it freak`s me out !!

Hey man,
That's pretty weird...
What do you think about flashing a new ROM?
When I used my Wizard with the original WM5 ROM it sucked... it was very slow, bad camera, bad signal, etc.
Read around the wiki about flashing and think of it.
Cheers

UPDATED Title: Bad 3G/HSDPA lag/timeouts with 1.43, 1.48 & 1.61 ROMs

Got a little question for the french users in here. Can you one of you guys tell me what is the Radio version on the SFR (french Vodafone) ROM? I don't remember it and now I'm running 1.48.
I'm asking this because my data connections is acting up. sometimes when I browse (or do anything else that requires data to be sent/received) the goddamn connection just stawls for 20s. For example I'm browsing with Opera, when I click a link it goes from 3G to H, but every once in a while (well it happens rather frequently!) nothing happens (it doesn't change to H or quicly changes to H then back to 3G in less than a second) and the request times out. It renders the HD2 useless so I have to use a Wifi connection which is a pain in the ass. My iPhone, HTC Diamond, and HTC Trinity work perfectly (all with the same SIM). Unfortunitely I directly flashed to 1.48 and didn't use the phone with the SFR branded ROM (1.44 IIRC) so I don't know if this only happens with the current Radio.
Cheers
UPDATED the thread title as it seems to affect users all over Europe and with all ROMs.

this can help you?

Same problem with Bouygues Telecom and official ROM here.
I turned off the HSPDA in the advanced settings. However i keep switching from 3G to Edge when moving around, in zones that suppose to get fully 3G.
@ugo83130 : Is it the last ROM that you have here ? Is there a release history with the fixed bugs ?

Thanks!
The HD2 seems to have a spotty radio or antena. It keeps going back an forth between 3G & H is place where I didn't have any problem with my Diamond and iPhone 3G. As if sometimes the the data request is rejected by SFR. So the connection stawls for a little while then goes back to normal eventhough I'm sitting and didn't move!

Hello,
not a SFR problem.
I have exactly the same problem with Orange in France.
Waiting for a new radio rom.....

Was the problem here when you were using 1.43 version of the ROM?
Just wondering...

I think this is not just a problem in France because I to have this problem with the radio switching between H and 3G all the time and I live in Holland.
BTW. I also had this on 1.43 so I guess it is not 1.48 related.

Thanks for the input guys.
Just to be clear, going from to 3G to H when a data request is done is normal (it then goes back to 3G when the request is fullfilled). The problem is when it just doesn't go to H and nothing happens for 20s or when it hits H then directly goes back to 3G is less than a second as if the phone lost connection with the network or the request was rejected. This shouldn't happen especially when my iPhone 3G, HTC Diamond and HTC Trinity (just did a test with it) never exhibit this problem.

Upping this one to get more feedback

That's certainly the most important bug of the HD2. 1/3 of my calls fail when 3G is enable. I have to disable it to avoid such problems.

The Radio or Antena does seems to suffer from some sensivity issues. I tested the HD2 and Diamond side by side (2 SFR SIMs with identical full internet contracts). And the Diamond didn't have any problem at all going from to 3G to H then back to 3G when the request were fullfilled. The HD2 kept messing around, sometimes waiting 10/20 secs t'ill it hits H eventhough it was showing more bars next to the 3G/H icon.

It's worst than that. Even in Paris, i have never got HSDPA, but only EDGE. That's ridiculous.

Up please post your feedback if you encounter the same problem.

Those having this problem, can you post you Radio version?

Having exactly the same problem with mine here in sweden..
Operator is 3, no problem with my old Xperia X1
It happens occasionally and i have to turn radio off and switch back on again to get up again. To make a regular call is no problem, just data traffic switching from "H" to "3G" and then it is stucked..

Hi,
I have the same problem on SFR in France.
ROM : 1.43.406.2 (70124) FRE
Radio : 2.04.50.22_2
Before switching to SFR, I runned on an Orange SIM for 10 days and didn't notice that kind of problem.
Some users also posted on htc-touch-hd.forumactif.biz they encounter the problem with SFR.

@ Golgi : Bring people from htc-touch-hd.forumactif.biz here to get their versions too Thanks.
