Wifi Strange Problem

Hi!
I have a problem with my p3600. It is wifi related.
There are some wifi's that, when i connect i can navegate for a little time, then it suddenly stops working (says connecting....) and then wifi won't work again until i reset the device (stop/start wlan doesn't work, it doesn't find the AP's again, no networks found).
When i soft reset, everything works again, but when i connect, and try to navigate, it stops again.
I have tried almost everything (move slider of power to the left...).
I am not sure but i think it only happens with some wifi's...
Any Help? Thanks!

Hi, I've got the same problem.. I was able to connect to the wifi at my school last month and works perfectly, but then suddenly this problem comes in.. anyone can help?

Hi,
Same here.
WiFi works fine at home but it only works a few seconds in my university.

Hi,
My device does this too on occasion, I've gotten around the habit of resetting the phone every two-or-so days.. Keepin it working.
Does anyone know how to set proxy settings for the wifi?
I can set them for other connections, but that..
Would be nice to have one set of settings for each SSID or something?

Try to disable power saving for wifi.

i really need help with active sync

i've been searching around many forums for the past week and cant seem to find the answer. My mda connects to active sync for like 3 days and suddenly stops working. My computer recognizes the mda and you could hear the sound but active sync doesnt. The freen wheel keeps spinning and says connecting . Everytime i do a hard reset it connects for a quick minute and then it stops. I tried installing a fresh copy of windows and still it wouldnt work. Ive installed and reinstalled active sync about 10 times and still nothing.
update i have noticed that its starts doing the spinning wheel thing when a big G appears at the top of the screen

the g means its on gprs, usually so shouldnt be whats causing it.
do you have any firewalls installed? when you plug in your vario its connection to the computer emulates a network connection so your vario can see the internet when plugged into the pc for example.
its possible that your firewall is blocking it, so try disabling and see if it helps.
as for why it might work then not work, im not sure, maybe something about what active sync does might trigger some kind of attack detection.
hope this helps

Wifi won't turn on.

Hey guys, I've been having a problem with the wifi on my universal for awhile, it just won't turn on, antenna stays off, no scanning, it's just off.
Going into the Wireless lan settings in the control panel "Wireless LAN OFF" is displayed, click "Turn on WLAN" it thinks for a few moments then returns to off with nothing changed.
Does anyone know if this is fixable? It doesn't appera to be a software issue, as it has continued on 3 diffreent ROMs... so i'm not sure how to proceed

I don't have Universal, But did you test an official rom or a cooked rom ?! because some of the cooked roms don't have the right wifi driver

I don't think its the driver, since 3 different ROMs, and no one else has complained about such thingcs in any of those ROM's, also it does work sometimes but thats maybe 1 in 20 reboots.

we need a solution plz

hello people, fist time poster here. had my uni for about a month now. very useful device, I was loving using the wifi until 10 mins ago when the whole device turned off randomly whilst browsing through wifi. plugged it in to charge, when starting up I get a couple of errors saying certain things won't start. now wifi doesn't start and I get the same problems as others on here. do we have a solution to this?? also, can I actually turn this device off? I've tried holding the power button on for 20+ seconds and had no joy.

You mean "really" off, like as no battery would be inside?
Nope, you can't
You can switch the active pda part off and set it to silent, but this wouldn't prevent the device from switching back on on phonecalls. Even if you turn off the radio stack it still would power the display's backlight on and show a notifier if a reminder was set up.
Really turning it off is only possible by removing the battery. Yes, it is a windows mobile device.
Concerning your problems after the crash you should be fine by coldbooting after recharging the battery. The latter one often causes some troubles with the Uni.

WiFi also dead but on a HTC Artemis
Hi Guys,
I have the same problem but on my HTC Artemis aka XDA Orbit. Only occurred when I was flashing with different ROMS. Even when i flashed original ROM still same thing.
I did read on the forum somewhere that the issue was due to the device not having a valid mac address.
Anyone shed any light on this matter?
There are tools out there for other HTC devices to get Wifi back but not sure if they will work on the uni as they dont work for the artemis.

i was able to get my wif working bygoing into the wireless manager then network cards and had to change it so they all were set to connect to the internet

hi @ all
this tread is a bit "past" but now i got the problem mentioned by balur. i used google and the forum search, but i was not able to find a solution. i hope smb. can help me, because i need the wifi on friday!

I solved the problem of Wi-Fi turning off by going to ActiveSync - Connection Settings and enabling "Allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop" option.

Wifi Stopped Functioning after flashing Roms
I have had similar wifi problems with my uni,
My uni was working perfectly for a long while when using "Tomal's 7.7" with Radio 1.18 . . . since then I tried testing with "T-Mobile official ROM AKU3.3" where the flash process when without a hitch.
However I had to change roms again since the T-Mobile rom wasn't very good. but i never got as far as testing the wifi
- - - -
I then tried to flash Tomal's 8.5 Beta, I ran into problems, and was stuck at the bootloader, I tried unlocking the uni with mtty, But i had copied and pasted the commands, and it kept on returning errors, after disconnecting and connecting with mtty again i tried typing in the commands and successfully unbricked my uni.
I attempted to flash Tomal's 8.5 Beta again, this time it worked without a hitch, but then I couldn't turn on wifi.
Wifi cannot be turned "on" from the comm manager or from WLAN. It just remains "off".
So I tried flashing back to Tomal 7.7 and wifi still didn't turn on.
Then I tried flashing Tomal 8.5 Beta again and still no wifi.
I've now tried flashing Radio 1.15 and - still no wifi
- - - -
I havn't the foggiest why wifi isn't functioning at all. Have I messed things up when I copied and pasted the commands into mtty?
Or did flashing the T-Mobile rom cause the problem?

No WIFI
Same here. I've tried 2 different upgrades now and the WIFI simply will not turn on. I've tried all the tricks in this thread, still no WIFI. anyone any ideas?

Fix WiFi WITHOUT cable?

Hi, im having some problems with my 8125. First, WiFi stopped working, dont know why, i cant open the settings for wifi, only for wlan, and when i try to connect via comm manager, it simply doesnt work.
THEN, the usb port broke, so i soldered it back, but apparently sth went wrong, now my device charges, but it wont sync. Im happy with my ROM and my Radio as it is, i mean i could change it but since my phone wont sync i cant, not big deal, i can manage files through the card or BT, but my problem now is that apparently the only way of fixing my WIFI issue is by flashing it, and that i cant do without sync..
any solution for this? tried also wifi apps (wifi monster), to see if they could get it to work, no luck.

in case you want to flash a new rom for your 8125 maybe you can check your wiki for wizards, i think you can flash any rom in bootloader mode where in you can disregard syncing with activesync.... better read more here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard
wish i gave you a little idea that its possible to flash even if there is no activesync connection (the least i know)
enjoy

thanks for the reply, but with sync i meant that the pc wont recognize the device, tried in 3 different computers, 2 vista 1 xp, none of them could recognize the device, 2 of them did in the past. i must have soldered it the wrong way, missed a pin or sth..
so thats the thing, any way to fix my problem without using the usb cable?

Try doing a hard reset, just make sure you back up all your contacts, ringtones, whatever before you do it.

hard reset did the trick.. or thats what i thought. i mean, i did it (lost evth btw), and it worked, first time i turned it on from comm manager, the icon didn change, but it did turn on, checked on settings>connections, and there it was "wifi", great i thought. then, after some hours, dont know, a soft reset, but without adding nor installing ANYTHING, it does not turn on from comm manager anymore, and the wifi settings yet again, GONE! WTF is wrong with this! i mean why the damn "wifi" icon suddenly disappears from the settings menu?
but (sometimes, not always) i am able to turn it on from thw wlan settings, sometimes it has the "wireless" tab, from where i can turn it on by opening some network menu and clicking turn on wifi, but that "wireless" tab does not always show neither.
ill try changing the comm manager and see what happens.. but isnt there some king of shortcut that i could use to acces the [insert nasty, nasty insult here] "wifi" settings???

seems to be working ok with this app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299070&highlight=wifi+shortcut
very useful btw, but very heavy too, im looking for sth light that wont use that much storage.. some kind of shortcut or script..

think i found the problem, i mean, not the why, but the what, in registry, the wlan drivers key is missing, HKLM\Software\Drivers, inside there should be a folder "WLAN" with a/some key/s inside, but there isnt such thing in my phone..

Weirdest issue Data & Wifi connection but no internet???

Hi, I have got a very strange issue, I have data and wifi connected but cannot connect to the internet with either, if it was just one or the other but with both data and wifi, I have tried many 'fixes' but nothing works, I restart the phone and both work fine for a while but after I wake the phone from standby neither work again... maybe this is a clue any ideas? thanks

What does not work? Is there only a particular app that doesn't work over either one of them?
Did you ever use a VPN for this phone?
Also, do a factory reset and see if getting back to the original settings it will work.
