On my 8125 I've been running the first test 2.25 for a while, nothing seemed to work properly. So I flased back to 2.17 basic from the ftp.
I installed agile messenger and it works perfect through usb pass through. When I disconnected the usb it instantly signed me off, forced gprs to connect, and signed me back on! Now this is how it's supposed to work!! I love it. This is the first time I've ever seen this work properly!! And I've played around with most the ROMs here.
Here's the problem...
I saw the new official 2.25 release and flashed to it, thinking it would be the best out there... and now the above doesnt work. In fact, if I pull the usb cable agile just sits there like it's still online. It takes many many minutes before it slowly starts noticing that there is no connection.
This is unacceptable, so I flashed back to the good ole 2.17 basic. Guess what?? agile still will not disconnect/reconnect after i pull the plug on usb.
I really wish there was a stable fix for this. I mean, it should notice the connection is gone, and force gprs to connect!
Any help/suggestions? Registry edits to make this happen??
Anyone? Any ideas?
How could this have worked great, and now not work? I flashed to the same exact 2.17 rom, installed the same exact version of agile, both from my pc.
Weird!
Does agile not use some sort of heartbeat to detect connecton status? If not, it should! Messenger programs should have some way of detecting connection drop, and then force a reconnect...
I'm guessing this is just an Agile problem! It just doesnt recognize when a connection is dropped. It should force another connection (GPRS) when needed. Hopefully they'll correct this in the final release!
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.

we need a solution plz
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!
Has anyone seen this problem?
My HD2 disables the PC's WiFi each time I sync.
When I take the cable out of the HD2 the PC's WiFi network will go down and I have to go into device manager and re-enable the WiFi network card, sometimes even this won't work and I have to reboot the PC.
It also very often happens when I connect the cable but usually a troubleshooting of the network problems will restart the WiFi and fix without rebooting.
The thing is that my TyTN II works perfectly and always has, it is only the HD2 that I have the problems with.
I have tried several HD2 ROMs and I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate on my PC.
I did a search of the forums, (not easy when you can only do one search each 30 seconds) but could not find anything, searches for 'disabled pc wifi' only bring up the good old connecting to router problems.
Any ideas anyone?
ian
I'm having the same exact issue. It's driving me crazy. Every time I plug my HD2 to the computer, my wireless internet goes down. Anyone know what's going on?
I've kind of fixed mine. I tried different USB ports which re-installed the drivers each time. One of the ports at the back of my PC seems to be fairly stable although I do still lose WiFi occasionally but it's tolerable.
ian
A little more digging and I've found these two threads, which were helpful.

Just got my Arc yesterday and noticed a really wired problem. I turned on Wifi tethering and connected from my MBP, after a few minutes of normal usage internet stops working. Although Wifi still shows connected on my Mac but sites will never load.
I keep getting "WPA Key" incorrect error if I try to reconnect before I restart Wifi tethering on my Arc. Thing is this only happens when WPA is on, if I choose no security it works completely fine without any issues.
I also tried connecting from my Nexus One and the same thing happened after a few minutes, so it shouldn't be some sort of conflict between Arc and my MBP.
Everything else on my Arc works perfectly, I already tried a hard reset but it didn't help. Does anyone know what else could I try before sending my phone back to SE?
anyone?
Hey did you find a solution? Or has anyone got any suggestions, I have the exact same problem. I can connect to the phone for about 2 minutes then it suddenly stops working. I then cannot reconnect properly untill everything is reset. I tried using it without security after finding this post and it works for me as well - I don't want to have it open though, im in halls of residence so people will try using it. Im on three mobile, I wondered if it is a possible problem with their branded software. (USB tethering works perfectly)
I also cannot connect to the update service through the phone, it fails everytime but there is nothing wrong with the 3g connection etc, and only the update service has problems. I know this is not important, but it could be a sign that something is wrong so it is annoying me a little
Thanks

I have just bought my Htc Hd2 a few days ago. My Wifi on the phone seems to be playing tricks on me. I am connected to the Wifi, but only sometimes when I am lucky that I can go on the internet. I have no idea why it doesn't work 100% the time like the iphone4. I have tried factory reset the hd2 and it is the same. My modem connection works all the time I even tried going on the internet on the same wifi as my computer and it works on my computer. How can I fix this problem or is the hd2 always like that.
Have you already tried to increase your HD2's WiFi power in advanced WiFi settings?
Also what router are you using and what firmware are you running?
I had a LG Arena KM900 that would not play nice with my DIR-628 router
thanks uli71 for your suggestion. I think that might have solved the problem. I need to use hd2 for a while longer to see if the problem continues.
