hey i need some help with this wifi I am unable to connect unless i am extremely close to any router I have tryed all the radio roms any help would be great
What do you mean by extremely close to the router? Can you say how meters?
The radio rom doesn't affect the WiFi signal, only the GSM signal.
Have you tried the following?
Go to CommManager, press Settings - Wireless LAN - Power Mode & select Best Performance & OK. This will increase your WiFi signal but it eats more battery.-
by extremly clost i mean as in laying the phone on the router or within in about 1ft yes I have tryed the power settings and they have had no affect
ok i tried reflashing to the button 105 rom that is recommended when cid unlocking and i seam to get a better signal any idea what would change between wm5 and wm6 that would cause this?
well I was wrong guess it was wishful thinking on my part
there is such a thing as being too close to a router if it's closer then 20cm to the router it can cause problems
ok lets put it this way if i get more than 1ft from the router it loes the connection and will not even detect it
also i am aware that is is possible to be to close
I have tried several hotspot and have had no luck with them either
does anyone happen to know which of the 2 antennas in the wizard is the wifi i notice s that i would assume are the antennas just not sure which is which
thanks,
yonu
well I think I have found the problem I had to open up the phone today as the keyboard ribbon was loose. it looks like the stock wifi antenna is loose I will get it resoldered and see what happens. now my next question down by the internal BT antenna and on the back of the wifi antena are antenna ports does anyone know what the jack type for these is they are larger than U.FL.
Thanks,
yonu
well resoldering the antenna did the trick if anyone is interested when i get around to modding in a stronger antenna i will post phots and instructions but it will be a few days as i am happy just to have the wifi working again

Hello People,
I have a question,
I'm having big time problems losing my WIFI connection, after like 15 minutes.
It still says that i have a connection and that's correct, only no Internet connection. the only thing I have to do then is disable WIFI en enable, and then it's fine for 15 minutes (sometimes more, sometimes less).
I flashed original Roms and Cooked Roms, but the problem persists.
If I update the radio, will it also help to improve wifi? or is it for signal fot network improvement only?
Btw.: does somebody have the same problem as me with there Artemis?
It sounds like you have a hardware fault. An upgrade of the Radio will not improve WiFi reception. An upgrade of the Radio should improve the clarity of your calls and also the batery life.

Is there anything I can do? the strange thing is, it will happen always after 10-15 minutes. Sure this is a hardware problem? And also what I find strange is that nobody has this issue with a Artemis, (couldn't find anything). If it was a hardware problem, isn't it so that there must be more users with this problem?

it might be a hardware fault caused by something u did (dropped etc). You should be able to get it fixed for free by the company u bought it from, if its under a year old.
I have exactly same problem since upgrading to official o2 wm6 rom - connection to home router drops after about 10 minutes, but wifi light still flashes on orbit /cannot switch comm manager off without soft restting orbit. Tried hard reset to orbit /restoring default router settings, still same.
I have experienced that problem with my HP RX 3715 and Imate Jam also with FS Loox N560.
WiFi Connection drops after about 15 to 30 minutes.
When I changed my wireless router, the problem disappeared.
I use Belkin 802.11B/G
Using a router ?
I would have a go at updating the firmware on your router, it solved my wireless problems (laptop dropping)
Need help drop me a message

Thanks very much for the reply's, also MN8.
I already have the latest firmware on my router.
I will buy another router to see if the problem disappear.
Thanks..
I had that same anoying problem on linksys access point in office. In home im using edimax, its lose connection too but not that often. I have HTC Artemis. Can someone help me?
btw. 3 laptops use linksys ap in office w/o any problem. Also I dont have any problem with my edimax ap on few laptops. Its only on my HTC Artemis.
I have the same problem.
As you said updating ppc rom or updating the latest router software didn't solve the problem.
What i do is turn off the ppc then turn on again after 2-3 seconds the wifi is working again.
If there is a real solution please share with us....
Hi all!
I have a nagging problem with my wifi-connection.
First of all -> sitting next to the wifi-router works perfect. So it does work.
But, walking to the next room, the connection drops dead.
Strange thing is that PeekPocket finds the network (it's in Red, and 90db?)
On my laptop, the connection is perfect throughout the house.
On configuring wireless networks, it just doesn't pop-up when removed.
It seems like the built-in wifi manager makes the reception worse. Any options I could do? Like other radio rom, or software?
I use WM5 now!
Thanx!

PDA devices haven't powerful GPS receiver.
You can change Wireless LAN settings more performance.
-Goto Wireless LAN settings.
-Click to Power Mode
-Change meter to left (best performance). But your device will charge more battery

GPS? it's 'bout wlan..
That what you wrote maybe makes better a little data transfer; but anyway it can't improve the range of wifi.
I have the same problem .. and wondering how to add an additional internal wlan antenna (home made)
my solution..

my solution at home; I bought 7dbi antenne for my adsl modem
Hmm. I understand.
But.. don't you mind the better way is to increase wifi range of prophet?
There must be on prophet's PCB place where is possible to connect even
a short cable with 1/4 L antenna (~3 cm).
So, i need a service manual.. or other electronic schema..
..but i have googled for many hours and for now, i've got nothing :/
I'm glad to see it's a common problem
Funny thing is that my laptop shows 'perfect connection', and my phone finds 'nothing' :lol:
It's a hardware thing I guess. Where is that antenna?

Exactly. Wififofum or other wireless scaner shows -90dbm even if signal is quite good in fact (good for example, said laptop). In few centimeters near AP signal grows to about -50dbm
(on other PDA, loox 420 shows -17dbm in that situation).

Yes. is a hardware issue.
Antenna is under the upper case, above the battery. it's a piece of metal..
about electronic diagram i have wrote in other topic, but it's without reply :/
( -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355046 )
Maybe I can help you with that issue in a few days.
I know a person who fixes these phones at a company that fix phones. He usually knows where all the hardware things are.
But there must be some people here who would know so?

EDIT
I just did what you said, and flipped the cover on the top back (it's just clicked). At the moment of doing that, it finds the Wifi-signal and now I 'm connected :S
Really strange.

I have just flashed my wizard back with Wizard Love in hopes that it would fix the Problems I have had since I got it connecting to wireless networks to access the internet.
This did not work though... So I wanna know what I should do next. I just flashed the phone today so all settings are the defaults.
I have in network cards the following:
SDIO WLAN...
NET 2000...
Remote NDIS...
Virtual Ethernet Intermediate...
PPTP NDISWAN...
AsyncMAC NDISWAN...
L2TP NDISWAN...
I can't at the moment see any wireless networks and I am at the university and my city has a city wide wifi network too. so they are available just can't see to connect... A typical protocol would be great as most of the posts I've read users are having trouble connecting not seeing networks... at this point I am envious of them.
Thanks
I wonder...If you knows how to enable Wifi? You need to start it in CommManager (Some ROMs requires you to click the buttons for 2 times in order to start it).
If it is started, you can see an additional LED lits with the phone signal LED.
Arrgggonauts
So, I installed a couple different ROMs of WM6 and still no wifi connections??? I can't see any access points or my home router yet and I am ready to give this thing the toss... The device came with the box and CD from cingular so I think its authentic. But I can't tweak settings to get a wifi signal for nothing. The LED blinks and the antena icon is on in the toolbar but no signals... I will entertain the most entertaining suggestions..
is it possible the sdio card is dead???
just wondering here... is it possible that the sdio wlan adapter is dead and if thats the case can I replace it and how difficult is that????
I have searched a lot on this forum and have not found any solution to the wifi problem on HTC diamond....I am sure there are experts in this forum who have worked around their way and I would request them to post their comments as to how they have got their WIFI talking on HTC Diamond...........
I am trying connecting to my home wireless network. It finds the network but unable to connect to it. Any help please? Has anyone managed to get it connected to any Wifi? I ahve already set the power management to "best performace...no succes.......
(My laptop and O2 stealth does get connected to the same network and it an open wifi connection)...........PLZ Help.....
There is no wifi problem on the Diamond. it works fine for on every ROM I have used.
It sounds like you haven't set the access key in your Diamond.

Would be kind enough to elaborate......Mine is open WIFI router, there is no need for any pass keys......my other phone O2 stealth perfectly connects while HTC diamond doesn't.........
Please do have a problem and that the reason there are so many view on this thread in just 30 minutes....
thanking you in advance for your help........
i've never known any problems, have u flashed a cooked ROM or changed the Radio?
if so, i would try going back to stock and see if it works then, if not, send it back as faulty.
I'm not aware of any 'known issue' with the WiFi on the Diamond either, certainly mine and my girlfriend's both work fine in this respect. If you've never successfully connected to any wireless network then you've got a hardware issue; send your phone back to be repaired and stop wasting time looking for a software solution would be my advice.
wifi,,,
Glad that a lot of users doesn't had problem with the wifi, but it's an iminent malfunction, and looks to be a hardware problems...
I had change my rom and radios a lot, and the issues are the same:
Opened the comm manager or the settings-connection-wifi, turn on the wifi, and it's turn off again...
In my case, often worked properly after soft reset, and i often connect with 3g or gprs, but...it's a suck!!!
Step by step......connecting to wifi....

Would you please step by step elaborate ....connecting to an open wifi network......will be really greatful........
if your diamond is not connecting to your router there is some posibilities. Are you at home or work, at work on the AP you can have security setings and MAC filtering. At home if you have not implement security and mac filtering you can be to far of your router, You must be between -60 and -80 Db max and at -80 it is easyer with a MIMO router, etc...
Got the same problem as you
this is how i fixed mine.
1) I download a radio rom thing and install it
2) restart the device and the wifi is working perfectly.
No problems at all!
Got the same problem as you

Hard reset
Take it to the vendor of the phone

Are you sure it is actually connected to the wifi? Have you tried to load a web page?
Sounds like your wifi antenna coax might have come off the little connector at the end of the coax.
If that's what happened, it's not terribly hard to fix.
Did you drop your phone on the ground before this problem started happening?
Sounds like a hardware issue because you said you've tried other operating systems on the phone and the problem persists.
And since you do get a tiny bit of a signal when your phone is right next to your router, the actual wifi circuitry is still functional.
I have had my wifi coax unattached, and was able to get a very slight wifi signal with my phone right next to the router.
Try loading a webpage via wifi with your phone right next to your router.
If it loads the page, then your wifi does in fact work. Then the problem is very likely to be a disconnected or damaged wifi coax, which is pretty easy to fix, and cheap to buy.
yes i can load webpages when it stays connect would you happen you know a guide or tut i can follow to fix this. I actually just fixed my other hd2 and the wifi works fine so it must be hardware
