wifi performance vs kaiser/tilt

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!

I THink WMWiFiRouter perm-killed my WiFi

So, I've been through 2 Moguls and both have the same problem.
First time, i downloaded and installed one of the newer builds of WMWiFiRouter. I started running it, turned on the hardware switch, and found my iPod Touch unable to get signal, despite the being inches away from the phone. I reset the install, and uninstalled it. running a new ROM, and the WiFi still didn't work. Read as "Unavailable" when it was on. So I called Sprint, and got a replacement, since i just assumed it had already been a replacement, and I assumed they gave it to me with Bum WiFi.
So Today I got the replacement. In the store i turned the hardware WiFi switch on, and got networks listed. I was happy to get WiFi on, so I installed WMWFR.. Again I received no signal. My Laptop couldn't see it at all. I upgraded the ROM, AND hard-Reset the device, and WiFi isn't even searching for local networks.

The only version that works for my Mogul is 1.20 any other version new or old I've tried doesn't work for me.. If you need a link PM me.

Version .89 works perfectly on DCD's 3.2.6
What rom/radio are you working with? I was afraid from the horror stories to upgrade wifirouter so I stuck with this one and is working perfectly.

What rom/radio are you working with? I was afraid from the stories to upgrade wifirouter so I stuck with this one and is working perfectly.
I just also remebered that a long while ago I had a custom rom running and when I was first introduced to wmwifirouter, can't remember which version, wifirouter would work but then I could not seek any wifi networks on my titan. I had to revert back to stock rom then flash new and a new version of wifirouter came out which took care of the problem.

Well i think i was running the M2D Round 4 ROM, and what ever the newest Sprint radio is, and tried it again. It killed my WiFi, again. I reflashed to Stock ROM and I still can't recieve any signals.

Wow, I stumbled upon this thread and I have to say that I have used WMWifiRouter since it came out and I have not ever had a problem with it on my Mogul. I have the latest version 1.25, could be there is a new update already, anyways it should back up your wifi settings, registry and all, before it does its thing. It does have a recovery feature in the options menu. I don't really know how it could stop your wifi from working. A hard reset should fix the problem since from what I understand it changes some of the registry settings so that it can bind the radio to the wifi.

The Difference
My question is:
When using WmWiFi Router, for those that are using it...did they buy it or torrent it?
Perhaps those with success are bought, and without are torrenting / using initial free versions.

have you guys with broken wifi seen this?

I installed that and my phone won't boot past the HTC screen. I have DCD 3.2.6 rom with 2.40 radio. Performing hard reset now.....
oh, and i forgot to turn my wifi switch on while installing the cab, maybe that's the reason....?
edit: after the hard reset, I tried the cab again with my wifi on, still no luck... oh, and i did a soft reset, and it won't boot past the HTC screen.. another hard reset required.

I can not turn on wifi in my htc elf

Hello, i need your help. I can´t turn on wifi in my device. I try with a lot of roms, radios, etc. but it impossible. When i touch de wifi icon the machine think a few seconds and then it stay in grey again. Sorry for my poor english.

I have the same problem here. I own an HTC TOUCH (ELFin) - IPL 2.21.002 / SPL 2.21.0000 and the original ROM from Orange (Spain). I can not tell you when it happened but i tried several ROMS and Radios and what is happening is: I go to Comm Manager, and tap on WLAN icon to turn it on, I see Windows spinning ball and finally I get the grey icon again.
Can somebody help me with this please? I really don´t know what to do

Hi
You write you tried many roms but your SPL shows your device is Cid locked Unless you flashed back you your original orange rom ? Anyway did you use wifi before flashing? did you try Settings/Connections and not only Commanager?

Hi! I had exactly the same problem after sim unlocking the phone.
The wifi could not turn on, no matter what I did.
I tried other radios, other roms, my roms but wifi was not working.
I could not even see the MAC address of the wifi chip.
The field inside the Wifi program was empty.
So I was absolutely sure that the wifi chip was not working anymore.
But one day after about a year of non operating wifi I tried to change my rom.
After some flashing and installing I tried to start the wifi without hope.
And IT WORKED! And the MAC address was visible again!
I don't know how that happened, I don't know how to guide you to fix it,
but don't give up trying!

Here is solution for your problem:

Hi there ! My girlfriend owns T-Mobile MDA Touch that has the same problem as described above: Pressing the grey WiFi icon (Comm Manager) > Thinking for a few secs > Icon stays grey. I spent last 2 days of searching for a solution without success. Even this forum seems too difficult to me. I don't understand to many terms too... I would really appreciate if someone patient helped me. I've already backuped the phone via WMDC (& Outlook) so far. I also tried the hard reset too but it didn't fixed the problem. I would also like to know if her T-Mobile MDA Touch equals HTC Elf ? Green & red button on her device is larger that on the picture of HTC Elf...

I was surprised when I succesfully turned on the WLAN today. I hope this will last forever !

Prophet is warming up, battery consuming very quickly, wifi doesn't turn on

Hi every body,
My Prophet is warming up itself, battery is being consumed very quickly, wifi doesn't turn on.
It seems wifi problem created by wm 6.1, allthough it worked fine 1 day after updating my prophet wm5 to wm 6.1.
I have tried with wm5 again, and it doesnt get warm untill I turn on the wifi manually, but with wm6.1 it gets warm from the boot, no need to turn on the wifi( if I turn off the wifi by registry tweek, it doesn't get warmed).
I have tried with most of the available roms(also radio roms) here, same problem, but definitely it's wifi was great before updating to wm6.1.
Can any one please help me in this situation?
Will be glad if you can.
With thanks.

[Q] rooted slide with no wifi

I am having some major issues with the wifi on my slide. When I have the rooted software installed. I have tried both the stock cynogen 6.0.0 rom and the teamfenix version but still cannot get the wifi to work on my home network. I haven't found any other roms to try though.
fyi:
Works fine on stock rom
home network is open with no mac filtering or anything like that.
I also have heard that flashing the radio might help but I thought that was separate from the wifi and the antenna works fine. I also have no issues with a data connection through the network.
Also if someone could recommend a way of transferring the phone program from the sense rom to the root rom that would be great. (I like the way it gives you the number it thinks you are about to dial, makes calls more fluid actions)
So... ideas?

A few: The latest known radio for the slide is 7.09.35.10. If you have that you don't need to reflash it. CM 6.0 has a known issue with the wifi that you can fix by turning on bluetooth. You don't have to have bluetooth connect to anything, just have it on. I don't know why that works but it does. Or you can flash the latest nightly for the slide. You can find it through ROM Manager, but you'll need the paid version to do that, which is totally worth it, or find it in the cyanogenmod forum. However, if you go ahead and flash the nightly, beware that things may or may not work (although the last several I've run have been damn stable) and DO NOT POST BUGS IN THE BUG TRACKER!
Also, on a side note, bluetooth in call audio does not work. Meaning you can not talk on the phone through bluetooth. Stereo bluetooth works great though, so you can listen to music no problem.

How do I check what radio version I have?

If on CM6: Menu>settings>about phone then look at the baseband version. It's the last set of numbers. If on stock ROM it's the same sequence except after you go into "about phone" you need to go into "software information".

Where can I find the radio update? Can't find it on the HTC website or on here.
edit: actually - it seems to be working fine now for some screwed up reason. My roms seem to do that... if my phone is in a good mood when I do my nandroid restore, then it works even better than before (hey look that rymes). If not, then it says "F*** off and die, I'm not giving you internet you fascist SoB.". As you may understand my phone has major mood swings... I think it gets PMS.

The CM6 thread has a link to the latest radio I believe. Also, something that worked for me is under the WiFi Settings menu, press Menu > Advanced, and change Regulatory Channels to 14. I saw that posted in one of the CM65 threads and it worked for me.

I found something interesting out about my phone. Apparently those moods I talked about are just the wipe not working properly. If I wipe it 3-5 time beforehand everything seems to work better.
I can even get golden sun working on the gameboid which I had thought was too unstable to work (just that one game though not the whole program).
