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.

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?

Welcome to the forum
Try doing a hard reset or flashing another ROM
Good luck and don´t forget to vote!
I can not on wi-fi. Help me.
What happens when u try to start it from comm Manager
nothing, buton Wifi no chance when i click it
Mumble. Right. When you switch on Wifi, does the icon change colour?
It should match the colour of one of the other active options, such as Phone or Ringer.
When the wifi is active, how are you 'testing' that it is working?
If I switch my wifi on, it will eventually pop up a message about other secure wifi networks available, but if you haven't any in your area then that will not happen.
Do you have your own wifi transmitter, such as a router, wireless access point or another computer/device?! If so, what?!
Still not chance. Wifi can not "on"

What are you trying to mate your PDA Wifi too?
Also, there is the Search feature at the top of the site, click on that and put something in like prophet+wifi and have a look at other peoples responses.
Oddly enough I had the same issue. I'm on a WM6 Prophet and my wifi didn't start.
After som soft resets, I realised that the BT was on, so I disabled it and tried to star Wifi... It worked like a charm.
Try that, Bluetooth on and off and then try connecting wifi.
Hey guys, i have flashed to a few ROMs in the past and my phone would always give me the trouble of no data connection. My tmobile wing is hard spl and running currently on papa's black diamond. whenever i tried to go to the comm manager to activate the data connection, it just wont turn on while other buttons i have no problem turning on such as wlan and bluetooth.
i've also tried launching internet but it just says there's no data connection and ask me to go to settings. i still can make calls but just completely no data connections. i have also soft resetted it several time and no luck. =/
help would be great!
ps. i've looked up several other threads with the same problem, however, theres really nothing under connections except add new so it didnt help much.

I think you have to use the Network Wizard. If it is not in that rom, can install it using the cab, it's should be around this forum.
thanks live! but i'm not sure which network wizard cab file works and which doesnt.. so a friend helped me set it up manually. thanks though!!

What, have you heard that question before?
Ryan
yes my fone is having the same problem and now i cant flash to a new rom
i flashed for the first time yesterday, and had the same problem. just call tmobile and tell them somehow your data connection information has deleted, and they will run u through what to put in the fields. and don't forget to go to the network wizard, to make sure its on the right network.
Same problem except it WAS working (my gprs/edge) until I added my first wlan entry.. of my apartment's wifi which works. But after I was done using it i turned the wlan off from comm manager and expected to see the big E for edge and instead just see the two arrows with the little x under it. I can no longer connect to gprs/edge. If i open the internet explorer to view a page, it flashes a "G" with the arrows like it's trying to connect forever. At that point it will not even let me make or receive calls until I reboot the ppc. Network wizard won't fix it as I've already tried, twice... no change. My data connection for T-mobile is set up already under "connections tab" but it just doesn't work. My best guess is something has gone wrong in the registry... but as much as I've searched for this kind of problem I find nothing... just stuff how to fix wlan problems. btw, i'm on tmobile. Oh, it won't even activesync if my wlan is off now... I have to enable the wlan and let it connect to my home network... and THEN it will go through activesync without error. This is nuts, I already hard resetted once because of this and now it's the same story. Maybe it's just a prob with the opentouch 6.5 nofrills version that's just basic and let's the users add their own apps.
Why is my WiFi connection option grayed out? Now I can not activate my WiFi. What caused this and how do I fix this? Thanks for any help you guys can give me on this problem.
bahardman.
you you have the hd2 pluged in to your pc ?
this will stop wifi from working.
Duh!!! that was the problem, thanks Grantzxr.
Ok I have gotten my WiFi connection solved, but now I can not connect to the internet through my WiFi.

I have been having exactly the same problem! Even when the HD2 is not connected to my laptop the Wi-Fi stops being greyed out but does not switch on. The only way is going to Settings - Menu - All Settings - Connections - Wi-Fi and then tick the Turn on Wi-Fi. Wait around a minute until it connects... sometimes
I have the original T-Mobile 1.43 Rom (got my mobile only last week) and on the first two days it worked fine when connecting to my home Wi-Fi. But suddenly it just started doing its own thing. Most of the time I have the Wi-Fi icon showing but if I try and go online I just get an error message asking me to "check my data connection and try again".
The only modification I made was installing some of the wonderfull .cabs tested and tried on the HD2 by tboy2000 and by smaberg. Amazingly, the only one that did not work properly was the Touch X reset and wifi.cab; the Reset was OK but the Wi-Fi Toggle didn't respond. I am going to try and reinstall.
aiwama, let me know if you got it solved, and I will do the same for you.

Well, reinstalled the .cab, but I think that was not the problem. When I press the Wi-Fi Toggle and wait for around 50 to 60 seconds it actually connects - for a while - and then freezes.
If I press the Wi-Fi Toggle again it disconnects from the Internet. I actually went back every single time to check Settings (Wi-Fi box would respond accordingly) and All Settings - Connections - Wi-Fi and (un)ticked Turn on Wi-Fi box. So, the Wi-Fi Toggle works fine. But there's the freezing thing that I don't know where it comes from!
aiwama, I simply shut my phone done completely and then turned it back on after a few seconds, tried it and it worked just fine and its been working ever since. Hope it works for you also.
I have a tattoo for a couple of days and my wifi connection drops out every few minutes. Have searched around xda and google but haven´t found an answer that worked/helped.
I have wireless router in my house. We don´t have any free wifi connections around city so i don´t how it behaves on other connections.
Did anyone found any kind of a solution for this?
What's your router model?
Wifi Drops
Same problem here i got a Netgear WNR2000
have you tried your router's connection with any other device ? (ex. a laptop or another cellphone? ) 'cause it might be a router connection problem
I haven´t tried it with other devices i will do so... It´s Huawei echolife HG520b

i tried 4 laptops and 2 printers to wifi ( works well
I have also been having this issue over the past couple of days. It has worked fine since I bought the phone last month and now the wifi connects and then starts searching again immediately. The router is working fine with laptops and ps3 and another desktop in the back of the house. Im sitting right beside the router now with the signal showing full bars but instantly looping into the search mode and dropping connection. Have soft reset several times and nothing. Also does it with a friends router.
What's the deal here? Is there a fix or a setting im missing?

I have tried my friends laptop and nokia E65 phone and both worked without any problem!
So it seems to be android problem...
I have tried many things that I´ve found on google site and other forums and nothing helped.
Have been changing chanels, security, firewall, hard reset the phone etc. and always the same-every couple of minutes it loses connection!
It seems to be the problem with android 2.1 also....
Hope that someone has a valid solution (and soon)
I had the same problem as all of you. Some times the internet connection was fine and other it simply droped and I couldn´t even find the connection in the setings..
So I asked in a Portuguese forum what could I do to solve the problem and I was advised to use the app 'fix my Wifi'.. I have to say it worked perfectly. It needs some time to understand the problem (some drops will hapen at the begining), but when it understands, the problem disapears.. Until this moment, it never droped again.. I advise you all to use it..
Hello from Slovenia!
Same problem with wifi. I checked the wifi fixer, but i dont know how to do with this app.
I cant click on start or ok, when i start the app, because the text is over the button.
I´ve got DL-524, and sometimes it works perfect, that stop working for 30sec maybe, and then work and then again stop.....
VERY MAD !
Greetings
Hello.
What it says in the begining is that you need to select 'never' in the wifi setings, the part where you choose when does the wifi turns off. Don't worry, use a wiget to turn wífi off when you don't need it..
Then just leave it on, it will fix, in time, your wifi problem. Whit me worked perfectly..

I change it manual, to always on. So just start the problem and turn on wifi and check if somethink happened
I think, that app Wifi Fixer, isnt for the HTC Tattoo. It stops all the time, screen is not in the right dimension, its buggy.
Force close, when try to activate it
Any other ideas?
I try :
- No security, open network ( Same problem )
- No Mac Filter
- WPA Personal TKIP
- WPA2 Personal
I change everything but, still problems
((( Sad
That is very strange, because i have a tattoo (i'm writing in it this moment!) and i'm using the app.. it works fine, no screen problems. I open it (and an icon appears in the tab bar) and i dont have to do anything else.. It really woks great, the connection never failed again and, as i said, i'm using it and it didmt go down. Before thist app, thist was impossible..

But when you start the app, i get on the tab bar, response like thank you for using ...... etc. but when i go to the program, the main screen is bad, About button and Ok, are got, but the active is in the middle of the text. Text is over the button. Heh strange
That ís very strange. But you dont need to go to the main menu. Just make sure the icon is in the tab bar. Then just wait for the app to do is job.. as i said, it will take some time..
