How can I fix my WiFi problem?

I have not been able to turn on wifi reliably for ages now - It all started when I upgraded to WM5. Now (even if I downgrade to wm2003se) I cannot turn it on. I press the wifi on button, the cursor comes up but nothing happens), leave it for a couple of hours, and then press again - it will sometimes turn on. It then stays on for about 30 mins, and turns off (I have the wifi set to never turn off).
I cannot diagnose the problem - can you?
Any help GREATLY appreciated - feel free to ask for more details.

What you can do is to check the following keys in the registry:
HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Parms\HTCPreloadstatus --> 1
HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Parms\HTCPreloadwifi -->1
Both dword with decimal values. Next, when you made the changes, softreset and check if your wlan is working.
Keep us posted.
Cheers.

Dont seem to have the directory Tnetwln1
I am using a Blue Angel with xplode wm5 AKU 3.5.2 rom kitchen 2

i do have a directory called tiacwln1, and another called tiacwln.
I have attached them here, so you can have a look yourself:
(rename .doc to .reg if you need to)

Thought I had some progress there, but now all is back to normal...

Still no luck... found this: http://www.teksoftco.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=194

Thank you
The registry jack worked 4 me i don't know how to thank you really you helpde me a lot

No Luck..Need to USE THIS URGENT
I tried it but on Reboot My settings return back from
HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Parms\HTCPreloadstatus --> 1
RETURNS BACK to
HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Parms\HTCPreloadstatus --> 0
___________________________________________
The other setting
HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Parms\HTCPreloadwifi -->1
Stays same

And after that, have you tried to soft-reset the device ?
There's a good change if don't, the change won't have any effect just like on you're desktop/laptop etc.

Of course, That's what I said that "I tried it but on Reboot My settings return back "
After the Reboot/ ie after the Soft reset.
No Luck

I have the same problem.
the value change back to 0 after soft-reset.
I tried several times even waiting for some minutes before soft-resetting.

So it means ??
NO LUCK ??

@jeasbe: I just wanted to second your finding...
Actually I suspect some hardware/EEPROM issue like this (Hermes):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=304004
this is my story:
1. Got the Dopod from the provider with Chinese ROM (living in mainland China at the moment). Did not test WiFi.
2. After strongly insisting on an English GUI I got an update to an English ROM from the provider. Since then no WiFi
3. Asked the provider about WiFi on my Dopod. He confirmed that it was not working but had been working with the Chinese ROM before.
.... (so excluded user problem but still no solution)
4. Decided to upgrade by myself assuming the problem lies in the ROM version.
.... Upgraded step-by-step with the various ROM versions to XM6 according to tutorial 'n checked for each ROM version for WiFi. Still no WiFi.
5. Installed the WiFi patch for the commgr. No WiFi.
6. Read about that registry hack. Values do not remain after soft-reset. No WiFi.
7. Colleagues have the same problem (but still with the English ROM from the provider). So will ask one of them to hand-in to the provider to change back to Chinese ROM in order to see whether WiFi is working with that setting. But doubting it
8. any other ideas appreciated ...

It looks like the Hermes guys (Drummer) found a solution:

I found out that if you have a CHS version officially sold in China there is no WiFi feature in the phone - this rule applies for all models from any manufacturer.
I am not sure though whether it is really hardware (like missing the WLAN chip) or software issue (on a level below the ROM, because change to different ROM [incl. change of IPL/SPL and radio] won't help).

Wifi will not activate

After flashing with a new ROM etc..
When I go into communications, and tap on wifi.....it turns on for a sec and then turns back off. Any suggestions?
Here is what I have done so far.....
Started with: Radio v. 1.39.00, ROM V. 2.13.656.2, Bootloader 1.2
Went to bootloader 2.40(via Hard-SPL-MF.exe), Scrosler's Titan ROM 3.26 w/touchflow. and then Radio 3.42.30.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions or solutions.

Try the hardware switch on the side of the unit. The software switch was never able to work under most ROMs that I have ever used.

I toggled that (WiFi switch), and it does the same thing for me.

Should I try another ROM or radio version? I don't want to do a bunch of flashing.......anyone know a good firmware version (and radio v.) with everything working and ready to go in terms of functionality? I don't mind putting all the carrier info in etc, just want all the radios to work afterwards (wifi, eV(cellular data), cell, bluetooth, IR)

Never heard of the problem. I say reflash because something happened.

Changed the battery power option under wireless to best performance.....everything works now

That's odd behavior. Post if it happens again.

When I use the ppckitchen my wifi refueses to work. I'm actually about to reflash it right now to DCD to see if it fixes it

Same Problem Here
The Switch seems to be malfunctioning...WHen I turn it off, it turns on the software for a second, then shuts off. WHen I turn it in the same thing happens. Really weird.
THis happened BOTH TIMES i reloaded the ROM.

im using the Kaiser Comm Manager(10 Buttons), and on it it always appears that the wifi is turned off, but functions fine with the switch

i have used dcd 3.2.6 and 4.1.2
and im currently running ryan 2.0 i think wm6.1

DO you see a MAC address in the WLAN advanced settings?
If not, you just need to write a new MAC address and your WIFI will work, or so I have heard.
so... how do we enter in a MAC address if it is missing?
Anyone?

theres no fix take it to sprint and they will replace it happen to me twice

Keep Connection Alive - Ozone

Hi everyone,
I ordered my Ozone the day it became available on VZW's site, and xda-dev has been the only place that I've been able to find any truly helpful info. This is my first smartphone, and the community here has been invaluable. Thank you all.
I have a couple of issues that I haven't been able to figure out yet. The one from the title - I use two apps; Pandora and WMtorrent, that time out - no matter what I've tried- when I start them and put the phone down. Especially frustrating in Pandora... I can only sing along with the first two minutes of any song now - very embarrassing at parties.
I am making an assumption about the source of the Pandora problem, I know it isn't supported on the Ozone. If I'm wrong, please correct me.
I've hunted around in the registry, but I haven't found anything to tweak connection settings yet. Any advice appreciated.
Also, if anyone knows how to set the phone to always use wifi when available, that would help too. I set Start> settings> connections >advanced to either automatic or wifi, and as soon as I get out of range it defaults to VZW as the preferred connection.
Lastly, the HTC ref name for my phone is 'Cedar'. Any difference worth noting? I'm looking forward to the cooked ROMs that are being developed for the Maple.
Thanks again for a great community.

When you into COMM Mgr to turn Wifi On, turn Data Connection off at the same time.

I'm having an identical problem with Pandora except I find even if I'm surfing the web or making button presses within Pandora, the song still times out after about 2 minutes. That happens with each and very song but it will eventually switch to the next song if I let it sit. I'm on the Sprint HTC Snap.

With the HTC Dash 3G (T-Mobile version of the Snap) there is a couple registry edits you can do to keep the connection open.. perhaps there is something close for the other versions. Here are the reg keys foe the Dash 3G:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\
{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\
Connections\*your connection name*\AlwaysOn = 1
There will be two *your connection name* to look for one is Data the other Internet (Internet is usually assigned to WiFi connections or 3G)

Yup, that worked for me! I bet it'll kill battery life though. This must be a problem specific to pandora since none of my other streaming radio/youtube apps lose collection. Still... Many Thanks!

I tried this reg edit but it still cuts out. One time one song played all the way through, never before or after that though. I'm using a 3vo rom on the HTC OZONE for Verizon (CEDAR) any thoughts? I think I'll update to the latest rom by 3vo tomorrow.

I tried changing my power settings but it didn't seem to help, maybe I just need a clean start, time for an updated rom! Thanks for the help though!

I'm now running the latest rom from HTC tried the registry edit, rebooted my phone, and still my pandora cuts out after about 2 minutes. Any suggestions on what my power management settings or any other settings should be to make this work?
Thanks.

Navigator demands data connection at start

Hi all,
firstly the software situation:
I have an HTC Touch Diamond2 wit a german Vodafone branding. Last week i installed the new official upgrade for german Vodafone devices - ROM version 2.16.162.1 HTC Touch Diamond2 (Voda_ DE).
With the old ROM and WM Version i didn't have this problem. Now - with every start of my TomTom Navigator after about 10 seconds a data connection is started. If there's wifi around - wifi, if not - mobile service. When i switch off the connection it stops and for some minutes - until i turn off the navigator it remains switched off. I haven't tested if during some time of the navigation it is turned on again.
In other discussions other users (with other navigation software) have also affirmed, that they also get an unwanted data connection.
Since then i have tried everything that i could think of. I looked over every setting in the TomTom software. Tried over TomTom Home. Tried reinstalling TomTom. Tried resetting to factory settings of TomTom. Nothing helped.
I then made a couple of hardresets of the device and i formatted the memory card also a couple of times. I then installed everything fresh - still demands data connection.
I then tracked the connections with a trafficmonitor software - one time wifi connection, one time mobile service ceonnection.
Looks like this:
WiFi:
system : 3.5 K
WZCSVC.dll : 1.2 K
mobile connection:
system: 1.2 K
WZCSVC.dll is Wireless Zero Configuration Service and i can at least understand why it is making traffic, since wifi is in use.
What is "system"?
Also - why more traffic for "system" with wifi than with mobile connection?
Yesterday i also tracked the connection and there was another .dll service which name i unluckily didn't mark. But it was gps*something*.dll.??
Could AGPS or Quick-GPS have something to do with this behaviour? Or the My Location service? I disabled and declined every setting that i could discover for those services, but i may have overlooked something?
Any ideas?
Please HELP!
Any suggestion would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Problem solved (looks like it at least).
After installing HD Tweak and disabling A-GPS no data connection starts with starting the navigator.

Glad you solved your issue, but let me witness that in my case (i have A-GPS ON) when i use tomtom (7.916.9189) no data connection is going on. Anyway,just to be sure to keep your problem under control, i advice you to check also the weather update settings.

If you mean the two options which appear directly when the HTC Sence Weather Tab is opened - "update weather automatically" and "update with roaming" - i've checked them many times - they are off. If there is another setting where they can be adjusted i would appreciate it if you told me where and how. But i don't think this is it. Unless TomTom Weather is doing this.
But as i mentiones - there was a gps*something*.dll file, that caused the data transfer - that's why i thought it is something GPS related.
But I wouldn't mind to use another solution because now i think my gps signal is not that strong (at least in buildings).
Do you have 6.5 also? I don't think it could be a ROM thing?

As far as i could test it it makes the connection just once after starting the navigation. It doesn't keep pulling data the whole time. If it does it the whole time during a navigation - i don't know, haven't tested it.
But you can at least test it quickly before travelling - navigation on - status check. If something's moving - you have a problem.
There is one simple solution - you can either disable all automatic connection types - then you would't be able to surf the internet. In my case i didn't want to have to disable everything and/or to enable it by hand every time i use the navigator.
Or you can install HD Tweak and disable A-GPS. It's really very easy.

Without A-GPS enabled make sure you don't enter the wrong coffeeshop!!
By the way..Also TD2 Tools and Tom's Topaz Setting Tool can enable/disable A-GPS and are more specific for our devices...your choice...and have a nice trip

Hi,
have you tested HD Tweak? I'm just asking for comparison reasons. I used it just because someone said it worked.
If the other two are more suitable for the Topaz i would of course prefer them. Is there "a better one" comparing the two?
P.S. Following question just entered my mind. If i uninstall the other tweak software what happens with the changes i made with it. I mean i guess it changes values in the registry so that the settings are changed? I suppose everything will stay as the software "left" it before being uninstalled?

I use HDTweak to increase overall sound volume only. I had it installed for months in a previous config and I was quite happy with it, but the specific tweak apps look more friendly to me. I guess that if you uninstall hdtweak without restoring the default settings you will keep the tweaks applied..at your own risk

bluetooth connection problems

Hi guys !
I'm opening a new thread because I would like to fix a bad problem of the neotouch that actualy is causing me many problems.
The neotouch has obviusly bluetooth connection but when the phone is connected to another device via bluetooth and the phone goes in stand-by mode, the connection go down...it just reconnect instantly at wake up...this is bad for me as I need to have phone connected also in stand-by mode..
I think that there 2 way to fix this problem, or we say to the phone to not disable bluetooth when stand-by mode is on or we prevent the phone to go in stand-by mode when a connection is up and running. Personaly I think that the second one is the easy way ...
So I have really no idea of how I can do this, so I hope that unforseenenemy, arto, netnerd and anyone that know can do this kind of things can help to figure it out...also a rafyvito's help would be appreciated...
Thanks in advance to everyone that get interested...

yes device still go in sleep mode but if you tried to comunicate with the phone via bluetooth from an external device it respondes now ...without it doesn't

so here are a few updates ! :
we have by right now 2 method to use our bluetooth connections !
The first is a registry tweak and you can find it here :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Power\State\Suspend\{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}
-change (Default) DWORD Dec to 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Power\State\Resuming\{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}
-change (Default) DWORD Dec to 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Power\State\Unattended\{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}
-change (Default) DWORD Dec to 1
this will continue to let you phone to go in stand by mode but will keep connection open so expect a low increase of drain battery ( anyway I have not noted much more consumption. ) this is thanks to Funky B.
The second way is use a program called "don't sleep" bluetooth that basically turn on bluetooth and disable stand-by at all for the device when the program is turned on. This has been created ad hoc from oldsap so many thanks to him for his job , you can find the program here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=483149
