OK, someone please give me a hand with this one.
I'm far from a noob with this PPC stuff, and I've played around alot, but this one's got me stumped. If there is a simple fix, I'll go to the nearest brick wall and ...........
OK, I have the 128Meg Jam (US version) and I finally decided to upgrade to the lastest i-mate offerings of their ROM update called...
JAM_USA_11200_188_11210_ship.exe
The upgrade went smooth/perfect without any hitches and or hangs. Whew! So next was the daunting task of installing all my apps, games, emulators, etc...
So before I got in too deep, I did a soft reset, and deleted the ROM installed Skype (installing a newer version later) and deleted the AntiVirus software also.
Soft reset was next.
Then downloaded the latest drivers for my SPECTEC SDW-820 Wi-Fi card, both the Canada version 1.25 and the US version 1.25.3 (same version as the WM 5.0).
NOW... Guess what?!?
Up till this upgrade, my SPECTEC rocked with FAST X-Fer speeds, both up and down! I loved it and used it alot!
Now the damn JAM/SPECTEC combo sees a signal, grabs the signal, and tells me it's "connected", but yet the Wi-Fi icon at the top does the "searching" animation. When I click on the icon at the top, it says...
"No modem at above number. To check your connection settings and change them if neeed, tap Settings".
It's looking for a GPRS signal!
When connected to my PC via ActiveSync, I can use the internet with/without setting up any "Rogers" settings.
I've done soft resets, hard resets, re-installs, etc... EVEN a "hacked" E300 Wi-Fi driver from another chap (ampda) and a Wi-Fi companion, and still the same results... Sees signals, "says" it's connected, but IE, MSN, etc. don't work!!
If ANYONE has a fix for this, or has experienced this, please help me out! I LOVE my JAM, and it's to me the perfect little do-it-all, but I'm soon approaching this "Can Jam's fly" theory!
Talked with Chris and Impact Wireless, and contacting others... Everyone is stumped, but it seems to be the "newest" ROM offering.
Awaiting help,
Rick.
ROM version: 1.12.00 WWE
ROM date: 05/28/05
Radio versoin: 1.12.10
Protocol version: 1337.42
ExtROM version: 1.12.188 WWE
Im getting a similar error with mine atm, im going to be backing up and performing a hard reset in the next day or so...will keep you in formed.
Im currently on 1.06 again (long story) and it has suddenly "stopped working"
I think its a application i have installed that may have caused it.
Imp
OK...
AFAIK, most of the things you have mentioned are a settings problems if I'm not mistaken...
I mean in many cases you can connect your PDA to the internet using Active-Sync but applications like IE or MSN messenger won't work... all you have to do is to go to
Start>Settings>Connection:then Tab connections and manage your connection in order your desired application will get the right settings.. you may also edit the advanced settings as well ( select Networks )
Another thing you can do is to go to
Start>Settings>Connection: Network Cards.. and choose the right card and the right option (work or the internet)
In most cases... if you edit your connections settings, things will work for you... for instance you can delete ( temporarily) the GPRS setting for your JAM, so when you use you WiFi card... it will be the only option....
I know this sound weired, but I have tested it before, I used to do a lot of internet via BT or cable + Active-Sync but after I did a ROM upgrade.. things did not work... all you have to do is to tweak the settings a bit, and I guess you have the same problem, because you say you get connected... so this is just a matter of settings IMHO
Another thing, I think you can try older drivers for your card... it might work
I hope things will work for you
cheers :wink:
Well, I got it working! FINALLY!
Bye.
.................. LOL! Ok, Ok, here's how I fixed it.
I really don't know how!
I went to Wireless Wave in one of our malls here, and the store manager let me take one his new Audiovox PPC6600's up to the food court where I know there is an open HotSpot.
So I installed the latest SPECTEC SDW-820 v1.25.3 drivers, and did a soft reset, popped in the card, launched the W-Lan utility, and would you believe, it worked like a champ, right off the bat! With the settings at stock. I didn't have to change anything to "Work", and it worked perfectly.
So......
I brought it back, and went back for the real test now that I know that my Wi-Fi card is fine. So, same thing, did an installed, soft reset, popped in the card, and again, it worked perfectly!!
So, I'm wondering in all of this, if for some bizarre reason, that the "contacts" might have maybe been dirty?!? I really am not too sure, however, I am taking this moment to thank all that have been patient and helpful with this issue. My JAM doesn't need flying lessons now. LOL
Rick.
P.S. Wi-Fi worked at "The Internet" settings, as well as "Work" settings. It just automatically decides to go to the Wi-Fi card when it's in place. Neat!
P.P.S Can surf the internet using PIE and use MSN on the JAM while activesynced. No Wi-Fi card installed, and GPRS off. Using ActiveSync v3.8
Hi all,
Firstly, apologies for being a bit of a newb here, but this is my first ever PDA type phone, and im getting myself confused, and for no real reason it seems !
I've done a bit of searching around, and from what I can work out I am going to make a few assumptions
1 - I should be able to, without using my WLAN connection, browse the internet on my HTC3600 through internet explorer, using my Vodafone 3g or GPRS connection.
2 - there is a way to enable some random wizardry chip inside the phone to activate GPS, and if I was to install TomTom Satnav software, this would work with no extra dongles etc.
Now. if my assumptions are correct (and one should never assume anything) I would be greatly appreciated if someone could in easy to follow newbie freindly (as in, click on start, programs,) instructions as to how I would ...
1 - do what is required to get GPS working
2 - do what is required to get the 3g web browsing working.
Im sure this would be a useful sticky if you cna help me do this, but having a search round on the forum I havn't seen these instructions spelt out. Aware that whatever you tell me I do at my own risk etc, but would really appreciate some help here
cheers all

Usually I would say search and stop being a noob but I'll be nice today.
1 - I should be able to, without using my WLAN connection, browse the internet on my HTC3600 through internet explorer, using my Vodafone 3g or GPRS connection.
Correct, however you'll have to setup your internet settings for Vodafone, you can usually find these settings on vodafone's support website or by calling customer service.
2 - there is a way to enable some random wizardry chip inside the phone to activate GPS, and if I was to install TomTom Satnav software, this would work with no extra dongles etc.
If you have an older ROM loaded on your P3600 then yes you'll have to upgrade it to enable the GPS. You can check your ROM by going to start->settings->system->device information if it's 1.15, you'll need to upgrade it to get GPS, however if it says 1.23, your GPS should already be enabled. You may also want to look into upgrading your P3600 to WM6.
Here are some useful links
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Trinity
http://trinityguides.info/
BTW, don't get too attached to this phone, the screen will probably stop responding in about a month and you'll have to send it in to get serviced.
Good luck.

Don't do anything apart from going to Start/Settings/System/Device Information and checking what is listed for Radio ROM. If it ends in **.**.11 it is GPS enabled. If not, as vanydotk says, you will need to update the Radio ROM.
Any GPS aware application (TomTom etc, etc) will automatically initiate the GPS receiver as needed, as long as the applications settings point to the correct GPS port (COM9) You don't need any additional hardware.

Make sure you have a 3G SIM card, and 3G is enabled on your account (it isn't always).
Use This Guide to manually configure the Vodafone settings (HTC did have an automatic file to do this, but it's been pulled from their site). Note there are different settings for contract and PAYG accounts.
Be very aware that mobile browsing can be very expensive. Before you do anything, make sure you buy a data bundle, or it may cost you up to £3 per MB of data.
Also a newbie and had spent some time reading the forum looking for answers... Can any experts clarify and/or confirm my question below? I know it s a very basic question for many here, but I would really appreciate it if someone can help me to get this working.
Do I have to have Mapping software installed on my Trinity in order for the GPS to work?
I go into the Camera mode by pressing the "shutter" button. Tap on the camera icon (upper left in landscape view) to enable GPS. However, nothing happens. Looks like it just keeps trying to start GPS.
The screen message reads: "Initializing GPS..."
What do I need to do to get the GPS working?
According to a previous post. My device came with the GPS enabled based on the ROM versions on my Trinity.
Some info:
I purchased my D810 in Hong Kong but I am using it now in Taipei.
The ROM info are as follows:
-ROM version: 1.23.707.6
-ROM date: 02/08/07
-Radio version: 1.35.00.11
-Protocol version: 32.68.7020.10H
OS 5.1.461 (Build 15671.3.3.0) Windows Mobile 5.0 with Messaging and Security Feature Pack. English version.
I am currently on a pre-paid phone service (FarEast Tone) so I do not have access to 3.5G, etc.
Thanks in advance!!!
Hello,
Does someone noticed about gprs or edge icon in htc wizard.
When the edge icon is disabled ( i.e In default settings ). It shows G Icon at the top of screen, that is normal. BUT when we press the power button at the top of the device and press it again, The device wakes-up. But the G icon changes to E icon and resets after softreset ( i.e G icon )
Points:
1. G icon changes to E icon when we wakeup the device!
2. Only After softreset it goes to normal. i.e G icon but same probem after wakeup!
I tried all the roms in this site but same problem. Also changed the radio rom.
Please someone check this in your phone
Many Thanks

The GPRS / EDGE Icon 'E' or 'G' changes according to the service available in the area of use.If the Edge sevice is available in some area,it'll automatically change to 'E',otherwise,it'll remain 'G' as default.

Hello,
Ok, but why the icon should change only after I wakeup the device.
Another thing I noticed that:
When I connect to internet via GPRS but it shows as connected to EDGE in brackets when I click on that E icon. I do not have any EDGE connections only GPRS!
Thanks for reply

GPRS icon not visable after wakeup
Hello.
No reply
Just uploaded some screenshots...
After I start/boot my htc wizard it will be like G icon in top of the bar ( i.e screenshot_1 )
After I press power button the device will go to sleep mode and again I press the some button ( i.e power ) the device will wakeup. but the G icon will be conveted to E icon ( i.e screenshot_2 ) that's the problem.
Another thing I noticed that:
I connected to internet ( i.e GPRS ) before going to sleep mode and I clicked on that G icon and it showed as "connected to GPRS). But when it goes to sleep mode and when I waked it and the icon has changed to E icon. And again I clicked on that E icon and it showed "connected to EDGE" instead of showing GPRS.
I have disabled the "EnableDifferGprsEdgeIcon" setting in registry. Plz you also disable this before you test the my problem.
Plz anyone check it and tell me.
Many thanks

GPRS/EDGE is the same thing. gprs is a slower network than edge. it still comes from the same provider. If you notice, in a city you will have EDGE almost always, while in some parts of the country you only have GPRS because they have no need to update towers.
as far as the wizard is concerned I do not believe it is capable of 3G so it will only get EDGE/GPRS.
I tried to use a sim card from ATT but it did not get 3G speeds. My friends phone is also not 3G capable even though it came from ATT.
I'm not sure what your concern is. if you have E vs G it means there is a better network around, but it still comes from the same carrier.
Gprs / Edge
Thanks...
By-the-way. I edited the operator name and given it as cingular. But the my default operator is cellone.
My sim is of BSNL not the at&t.
My problem is that why the icon should change when the mobile goes to sleep mode. After wakeup the icon will be changed ( i.e E icon ) and also my connection details will be changed ( i.e GPRS to EDGE ). This problem only occors upon going to sleep mode and after wakeup.
I tryed all the wm6 and wm6.1 roms in this webiste, all have same thing. But this problem will not occors in WM5. The icon will be G and will not change upon Sleep mode/wakeup.
This problem is only with WM6 & WM6.1.
Many thanks
Srikanth
thats weird.
I sometimes get pissed when im otside of a city and it turns to G. then I feel like I'm in the boonies.
I never saw the issue you are describing. maybe it is your network.
Gprs / Edge
Hi,
OK. I will try with other networks/sim cards.
Many Thanks.
Srikanth.K
Gprs / Edge
Hello,
OK DONE.
Now the E icon is stable/visible after startup and also at wakeup.
What I did is:
1. Enabled the "EnableDifferGprsEdgeIcon" setting in registry.
2. I Downloaded and installed the GB-SOFT GPRS Tweak app.
3. Opened the software and there was 6 tweaks in page.
4. I ticked on the "Search GPRS [G-E-3G] on start radio" box & rebooted.
5. Now: At the startup of my device, the G icon will not display and only the E icon.
6. And also will not change after wakeup ( Thats stable ).
Ok, now the E icon is stable. So I edited the "EnableDifferGprsEdgeIcon" and given it as 0 to disable it ( i.e To show G icon instead of showing E. )
But without luck. The problem rised again.
I think that, this problem is due to RADIO ROM.
I Tested some of other radio roms also but had no luck. Today morning I also flashed to WM5 offical rom but there is now problem with it ( i.e GPRS Icon is stable ).
Do you know which RADIO Roms is the best and fixes my problem.
I tested these 4 Radio Roms:
1. 02.07.10
2. 02.71.11
3. 02.37.11
4. 02.47.11
Many thanks
Srikanth.K
Try these both,they are considered to be the most stable and with good radio signals :-
Radio Rom 2.19.11
Radio Rom 2.69.11
Same problem
Hello
Tryed these radio rom also as you given but have same problem.
I think that the GPRS will search only when wake up but not at the startup of the device.
May be, there are some tweaks in registry that can be made to search the GPRS on startup of the device or an startup app.
Do anyone know that, GPRS and EDGE are the same sevice or thay are different?
Does anyone know that, any software/app that show where I am ( i.e Network Name, Name of area & etc )?
Many Thanks
Srikanth.K

No you don't have to install any drivers to get WiFi working (it's not like desktop Windows). Your problem description is incomplete. Please post exact symptoms of your problem. It will help you get the answer you are awaiting.
In connections manager when i tap the wi-fi to turn it on, apperar like is loading someting (i'm not getting any error message), after that the wi-fi is still off.
From Settings -> Connections -> Wireless LAN when i tap Turn On Wireless LAN i'm not getting any reactions, the Wireless refuse tu turn ON.
I install Wireless Today Plugin, the wi-fi is not available in the Today Plugin as well.
Have you already tried a hard reset?

did you do a hard reset ?
if not I had problem with cooked rom seeing wifi but no connect and a hard reset fixed the problem.
How to do a hard reset , lay the TC on a flat surface and hold down GPS + IE keys and use the pen to reset (hold it a couple of seconds) and then follow the instructions on screen.
Hard Reset is my friend , after hard reset is the same.
Now the Polaris has udK_Syrius-R0_WWE, the wi-fi don't work eather.

Syrius R0 has radio ROM included and should be a confirmed working configuration. If it does not work for you it could mean that there is something wrong with your Polaris hardware. My advice is to flash back original ROM and SPL and return the device for service to HTC. Search for threads regarding returning your device for guarantee reasons.

Can you see if you can download from the HTC site ?
http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=59&cat=2&dl_id=113
With my Orange SN i get: "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device."
I use Windows Mobile Device Center X64 v. 6.1 in Vista X64, may this be the problem?
i have exactly the same problem with my Cruise,
it has wm6,0 original SFR
gobar, was your wifi working BEFORE you flashed?
if not then hardware.. if it was then its possible theres another solution.
Wi-fi was working ok with the original Windows Mobile 6 Orange Romania Rom.
1. i try to update without hard spl, at 1% stop & give me someting about vendor id, from then the wi-fi refuse to work.
2. i have SIM Unlock & Hard-SPL and update to official windows mobile 6.1, wi-fi don't work
3. i have try some radio rom & custom rom's, the same
After the update the wi-fi problem apear.
No solution for my problem?

i bought my polaris in hk, and brought it back to japan. when i tried to connect it to my wifi net work at home, it did not detect the network at all.
anyway, i did a little bit of research with my wifi network setting, and found out my polaris detected the network when the wifi channel was set below 10 (or 9?). I was using the network with channel 13, and this was the reason why it did not detect the network (although i don't know why it does not.)
i sent it to htc usa for repair (i spoke with htc hk and japan, but they said i had to talk with htc taiwan or usa. because i had such a hard time to communicate with the support guy from htc taiwan in english, i eventually called htc usa despite i live in asia...), and they fixed it and sent it back to me, which took me ONE MONTH. however, i simply found the problem remained the same, and it did not detect channels over 10... after spending one month to get it fixed...
check your access point setting. if it is set to use a channel over 10, just change it below 10. it worked with mine. g'luck.

I had the same issue because the o2 ROM sets you up just before Windows launches after a ROM update, or hard reset. The stock ROM is network independent so it doesnt do this.
Anyway, go to Start/Settings/Menu/All Settings/Connections/Connection setup, then just choose UK and O2 respectively.
I hope that helps.

Thanks for the quick reply, but I have tried this, and even downloaded the updated settings (very slowly over GPRS) dosnt seem to have made a differance.
I'm running through Random Radio Versions at the moment trying to find one that works, and provides me with the signal strength i had before. If i find out I will post this info here to help others in the future.
Obviously if someone has already solved this issue please let me know to save me some time
There should be a 3g/GSM switch in the Comm Manager, GSM will be only GPRS and Edge wheras 3g will include 3g and HDSPA. If it isnt there, there is a tweak (either reg edit or a cab file i think), search through the forum and you should find it.

Would this be the same as going into the band settings and configuring them as Auto? Thesrs loads of numbers in here that im not going to even pretend to understand Shed any light on what the UTSM settings should be etc... or should they be left as AUTO?
When setting up a data connection, i only get the option of "Cellular Line (GRPS) and not Cellular Line (GPRS,3G). I assume this is my problem?
Ahhh so confused, I'm on my 3rd Radio version and none of them have made a differamce yet

Settings tab on Sense, Wireless controls, then you should have a switch that says 3g, in your case it should be off, turn this on. If it isnt there, let us know!

No 3G option, I did have a look for the CAB/Reg tweak, but from looking at it it just changes the band settings from GSM to auto (which mine are already set at) if this is not the case whats the best way of adding this switch?
http://www.ad-grafiska.se/HD2/LEO TWEAKS/Touch X add 3G commmanager.cab
This is from the sense 2.5 tweaks & mods cabs thread, it will add the 3g button. Try and see what happens, if it doesnt work then I will see what settings I have on mine

OK ive installed the CAB (Thanks for linking to it for me was a great help). After restarting my HD2 i now have the option to disable/re-enable 3g.
However (heres the bad news) it was already set to on. Iv switch it off/Back on etc... and i'm still only getting GPRS, with no 3g option under the new connections manager.
The_cool, are you on O2 in the Uk aswell? If you try to set up a new connection can you select Cellular Line (GPRS,3G)? I only get the GPRS option.
What ROM/Radios versions are you using?
If you had the stock O2 rom, flash the radio that came with your phone -
Leo_RADIO_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50_22_2(from HTC ** 1.43)
see the radio thread.
radios are independent, I should be surprised if its that.
have you tried the icon your sim card installs? look in start, probably down the bottom , looks like a sim card and called o2 (or whatever sim you have in) and has one option...get settings?

I am from the UK but I am on T mobile, running topix 1.2 and my radio is the one that came with the offical 1.66 rom which is 2.06.51.07
I am abit confused when you say "with no 3g option under the new connections manager." Testing the switch on mine, when it is off, it says 3g as the heading and the text under is says Change to auto mode. When you turn it on, the phone goes offline for a few seconds and the switch now says 3g as a heading and the text under sayin Change to GSM mode. Your switch should be like this with the switch in the on position. Sorry if I am being patronising but I just want to be clear.
When you talk about celluar line, I am assuming you mean when you try to set up a new connection, this is only for data connections, not for making calls. If I am not mistaken, even if that wasnt set up, it wouldnt stop you from having 3G or H reception, you just wouldnt be able to using the data funtions on the phone until that was set up. But looking at mine, if I edit my connection, the 1st page that comes up is Enter a name for the connection and the then Select a modem. That is on Cellular Line (GPRS) which is greyed out and I still get 3g reception.
usually you will get good GPRS reception, 3g/H can be hit or miss. Try reflashing your radio or try a different one.
Try going to Settings, Connections, Advanced Network and then check that Enable HSDPA/HSUPA is showing in the HSDPA/HSUPA tab. The options on mine are Disable, Enable HSDPA Only and Enable HSDPA/HSUPA.

That only enables or disables HSDPA, even if diasabled you would still get 3g reception but i guess its worth a try.
perhaps the local antenna is having problems or other source of local interference?
I have personally noticed in comparing T-mobile and O2 that in most places T-mob have good to great 3G, whereas O2 is iffier on 3G, but faultless 2G.
I just flashed my sister's Diamond/Ignito with the latest official UK O2 diamond rom and now she only gets gsm and no 3g either. What the heck is going on?
Origional SPL installed and phone still has the same problem.
After speaking to O2 Cust Support it seems there are intermittant Network problems due to upgrades they are performing at the moment on their network. However that dosnt explain why my old SE c905 has full HSDPA when my hTC HD2 as 1 bar GSM or no signal atall using the same sim in the same location (and only the amount of time it takes me to swap over a sim in time differance).
Phone is going back today, as I'v only had it a week.
