My WIFI doesn't work, and I need some help fixing it.
I own a T-Mobile Wing, and decided to change the ROM. I've tried a couple, and so far the the best one for me is the Throttle Diamond II. The only problem is that this is a Herald ROM, not a Wing ROM.
I know that the differences between these two devices is what causes my WIFI problem, and that the fix involves changing the registry. I even found instructions for doing that. However, that fixed nothing, and I don't know why.
Here's what I did:
Changed "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE \HTC \CommManager \WLAN" to
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE \HTC \CommManager \Windows WLanMgr.exe"
Under that location, I changed Device Name to "{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006} TNETWLN1" and Default to "\Windows\ctlpnl.exe"
And here's the exact instructions I was following:
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

This made no difference. One thing that may be causing problems is that I'm not sure if the device name is right, but I can't find how to figure out what the device name really is, and I wouldn't be surprised if that's not the only problem.
I'm sorry if the solution to this problem is really obvious, but I'm just not seeing it, and can't find anything to fix it, no matter where I look. Could someone please help me?
also have a problem with my wi-fi switch. it doesn't work. also tried the registry fix, but that didn't seem to fix anything. will reflash to a newer version tonight and post back.
I fixed it, the solution was something really obvious that I should have been able to find before I made this thread. I just needed to install the 10 button comm manager, then the registry changes could fix the problem. RussianBear, here's a link to the cab file for the comm manager, thanks to Nyer78 for uploading it.

Hi
I have discovered this site just now as a was searching for information on how to updrade by qtek9100 for a2dp and use a bluetooth stereoheadset with it.
I found some leads but they all ended in my not being allowed to change the registry settings for
"local machine"\drivers\BuiltIn\"
I can not add BuiltIn\BtA2dpSnd and therefore not conclude the setup.
Is there anyone who can give me some advice on how to go about this ?
I have updgraded to the latest official ROM for sweden.

Try the CAB file attached
You might have to unlock your phone before you try and change the registry settings.

The cause for the problem may be one of the following:
1, you used a desktop ActiveSync-based registry editor.
Don't use desktop tools to chage the Registry. As is pointed out in my Registry Editor Bible, it won't work. Use a PPC-only registry editor.
2, you didn't shut down the PPC entirely after this (or waited long enough for the changes to be written to the Flash ROM as is explained in many of my WM5 & registry & flash ROM-related articles); this is why the changes haven't been stored.
Note that this has NOTHING to do with your phone's being locked. You do NOT need to unlock your device.
I recently installed the 10 Button Comm Manager and ran into the registry editing problem that seems to be very common.
My phone had the entry
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE \HTC \CommManager \WLAN= "Windows WLanMgr.exe " "DeviceName" = "{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006} TIACXWLN1"
and not TNETW12345 or any variation like most of the fixes posted suggest.
On my Wing I had to change TIACXWLN1 to TNETWLN1
I hope this post prevents an other noob from having to go thru the hassle I went through trying to figure out what the hell to enter into the registry.

That has been discussed 1000's of times already. thanks anyway!
Hi,
I am using a mini & it shows wrong spelling of the operator name i.e. GrameemPhone instead of GrameenPhone.
Would anyone be kind enough to give me a solution? I know there are lots of gurus out there ...
Cheers...
I am using a HTC Touch Viva (Opal), same problem. "GrameemPhone" instead of "GrameenPhone".
Very annoying
you can try xiaojin's font changer..it has an option to change operator name to whatever name you prefer..
Wrong Operator Name bug fixed:GrameemPhone instead of Grameenphone
1. Install any registry editor. Here is a free to download: http://www.phm.lu/products/pocketpc/regedit/
2. Run the registry editor and Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/RIL/OperatorNames
3. Select the OperatorNames from the tree list and add a New String Value from Edit menu of that registry editor. Give the value name is "47001" and Value data is "Grameenphone".
4. Save and reboot the device.
Warm Wishes,

Hi, i have been a long time user of WM. However recently i switched to HTC Hero (Android) which has the same problem - misspelled operator name. Any advise? Sorry, probably this is not the right forum to ask this. Rgds.
My goodness. I am revisiting same thread with another HTC after a year.
This time HTC Desire, same problem. GrameemPhone instead of GrameenPhone.
Anyway to fix it?
Haven't got solution for android.
WinMo: HKLM/System/state/phone/CurrentOperatorName

Thanks.
I don't have the WinMo anymore.
Planning to get a WP7 soon though
Meanwhile, if anyone knows how to fix the problem on Android, that would be great.

why should tamper with the Registry editor bappinath, bappinath ..! it only helps temporarily ... if at any time you change the operator if you akn replace the operator name again ...? can become tired
should just use this ===> it will fit with existing state and operator
I hope I'm right here..
I want to change the default install path of my HTC device. I'm sure there is a simple registry entry, but where?

bumping up cause i`m also interested in this

Hi guys...
I hate the search sensor button, on my Omnia 7...
I accidentaly pressing it all the time, I want to disable it, or even make it work differentely...
Is there any way, how to change its functionality?
And theres another thing... How can I change the default search provider via Registry on the DFT rom?
I found this tutorial, but cannot find that registry keys, shown here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...99&postcount=5
Thanks for the answers...
Nobody answers, but finally, I found the solution, how to change the search provider.
On mango, just add the registry key:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchProviders\Google]
and there a new value of:
"URL"="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&site=&q={searchTerms}"
Don't forget to set the Search provider in Settings - Applications - Internet Explorer...
And it's done
im on DFT rom but i can't do anything in registry. when i try to add new value registry editor is closing and phone going to home
@ Jonage - Thanks man, this works with me
@ eselcuker - please check that your phone didn't relocked after you first connected it to Zune after flashing DFT rom. For the Sammy Rainbow DFT ROM, you need to make changes on the registry by deleting the value on the PortalUrlint and PortalUrlProd both are under the DeviceReg before connecting device to Zune otherwise it will relocked. Please read the thread on the Sammy Rainbow DFT to find out more.
