my wifi wouldn't turn on some times,
and i see no connection list in settings when ever it does turn on , all i get is the connection popup though witch i can connect
thx

me too. I turn on my wifi , I can't find any AP in my list even there is 2 ap nearby.

What ROM are you guys using?

So i finally managed to do hard reset ,
and noticed that the the wifi stops working correct after "Helti home" install
I might be wrong but it works prefect before that

i didin install helmi home but still my wifi doesnt working anymore. does anyone have suggestion?

The default setting for ActiveSync shuts down wifi when you sync. If ActiveSync is still running in the background on your device after you're done, you can't restart wifi.
If a soft reset or manually shutting down activesync solves the problem, change your settings on your PC's copy of activesync (File -> Connection Settings) to allow wireless connections when connected to the desktop.

thanks your solution works for me thank you so much

Keeping on wifi connection while on standby

My D2 will automatically disconnect the wifi connection when it goes in standby. My old cruise would always keep the connection alive, so that it would be available immediately after turning it on. Is there a fix for this?

A google search reveals!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-368241.html
Edit: although that worked on my XDA Orbit 2 (Touch cruise / polaris) it dont seem to work on my Diamond 2

I found this key in the registry:
HKLM\Comm\TNETW12511\Parms\HTCKeepWifiOnWhenUnattended
and changed it from 0 to 1, but that didn't work. After a restart the value was automatically changed back to 0.
Looking around on the HD forum it seems that HD has the same behaviour. People changed that using a program called HD Tweak. I guess we need D2 Tweak...

i would also like to see a solution for this

I have experienced this problem also. If you have push internet scheduled and the phone is on standby, it retrieves the data via data connection/3G as opposed to your WiFi.
Additionally, if you take your phone out of standby, it takes a few seconds for the phone to re-establish the WiFi connection. If you are too quick to access the internet or update weather - again it will start to do this through the data connection.
Does anyone know how to resolve this?

did you try Advanced Configuration Tool? You can enable/disable data connections, set them to always on and enable WiFi on standby.

Does it exist for D2 too already?

Yeah got it and it works on D2, the enable WiFi option is there

You could also go to Settings -> More -> Connections -> Wi-Fi -> Wireless networks -> Menu -> Advanced, there you can change how long the Wi-Fi radio should be on if not connected to a wireless network.

Unfortunately, www.touchxperience.com is down, so I can't download it now.

Thanks for the tip. This doesn't solve my problem, but it's good to know.

I found a 3.3 cab elsewhere. What option exactly did you change to keep wifi on on standby? The only logical one I found is Network >Turn off wi-fi if no activity. I changed that from yes to no, but that didn't help...

I know how to do it but it requires some code to accomplish - I actually tested this yesterday on my TD2 (the advanced config trick does not work with TD2). Unfortunately I do not have the TD2 with me right now ... Perhaps I'll muck with it a bit later anyways, else you'll have to wait 'til I have the TD2 in hand again Monday or Tuesday.
It takes a ****load of power to do this though, and I'm not sure if it works in true suspend... it works for unattended mode though.

Well, I found the option in advanced config 3.3, hidden under "More options". But indeed it doesn't work. Wifi still disconnects on standby and starts reconnecting after standby. If you have a solution Chainfire, I'd be happy!
Tomkarb, can you confirm that the Advanced Config trick really works for you?

Isn't there anyone that has a solution? The Schapps advanced config thing just doesn't work

The solution is in here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524490

Thanks! That works indeed!
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\TNETW12511\Parms]
"HTCKeepWifiOnWhenUnattended"=dword:00000001
I never found that out, because I always soft reset immediately afterwards, thinking that was necessairy for the change to become effective. The soft reset wiped the change away though.
I've made a cab that changes the registry value to 1. It also copies the cab to the installationdir and adds a shortcut to it in the start menu. So you just have to run it from the start menu after each soft reset/restart (if you need wifi on standby). It only works when you execute it when wifi is off. Turn it on after installation.

There's a great freeware that i use called WkTask, which is a launcher, among other things, and it has the option of turning off the screen, but not putting the phone into standby. Disable the automatic power off and turn off the screen, this should solve your problem. However, i'm pretty sure your battery will drain a whole lot faster with the device never entering standby and the wifi on.
For added functionality, create a shortcut in the windows directory called 'long_power.lnk', and point it at the same file that WkTask uses (you'll see the path when you add it to the launcher, its a 'command call' btw). Then you can press and hold the power button to turn the screen off instead of powering off the phone (which is something i never do, does anyone?)
Hope that helps.

Thanks for the tip. I don't use wifi very often, only sometimes to remote control my pc. So most of the times I want it to go in standby and save as much power as possible with wifi off.

BTW, another solution for some of you may be to use a different ROM. I'm using Topaz Essentials 1.6 ROM (TESS1.6) from chef Aman now, and this ROM doesn't have the wifi turning off problem.

Does not work on my HD2

Internet Issues on some applications

Hello,
I'm using my HD since it was released without major issue.
But since yesterday I have some issues with the internet connection over WiFi. I'm not using the connection from my operator because I have no data option and 1Mo cost about 10CHF (a bit less than 10$US...). The data connections are blocked by GPRS No Data (and HD Tweak there is the same option) it was working perfect till now.
I'm connected to my WiFi connection (I've tried at home and at work), and I can update the weather without any problem, I can also use the YouTube app, it's working fine. But others programs cannot connect, like Opera (very annoying), RSS... Also no more working with Facebook app, I've just installed it yesterday, and I had to install it with the USB connection because opera wouldn't connect (it's at this time I've notice the problem). When I've tried the facebook app yesterday it was working ok but a bit slowly, then today I've tried again and it's not working at all...
And the error message appear very quickly in all cases, like it didn't try to connect at all.
The problem should be somewhere with the connections settings because yesterday I was trying to configure MMS as I was not able to get it (and I'm still no able but I'm barely not using it), I'm pretty sure to set it back like before but it's so bull**** with all these settings everywhere.
I've tried a lot of thing, I restart many times, what can I try before the hard reset (I'll do it only if there is no other way because I've installed so many things on it, and I don't have time to do it again now).
Thanks in advance

Try a couple of things:
1. Go to Settings > Connections > Wifi > Wireless Networks > Network Adaptors and set 'My network card connects to' to The Internet
2. Go to Settings > Connections > Wifi > Advanced > Power Mode and set this to best performance
Soft reset and then let me know if this works

I had already try these step (except the performance/battery setting).
Anyway I was trying another time, I really don't know which change resolve the problem but after changing something for the X times I try Opera and it was not working, then I try the weather, it was working, and then Facebook app, it was working, and then ActivSync was able to sync my exchange data again and then opera was working again (without restart).
It's very stange and I don't like not to know what was the issue and even why it's working again suddenly... Maybe conflict between special app like Advance config, HD Tweak, Diamond TF3D Config, ChangeScreen, Lumos, ...
But now I don't wanna try to change anything since it's working correctly.
Thanks for the help by the way.

Wifi not available

I installed new rom from site because italian winmo 6.1 installed . It is now english but this time wifi icon not working RUU_Topaz_HTC_WWE_1.39.405.2_Radio_Signed_Topaz_61 .20t.25.10_3.43.25.19_Ship.exe
**** Hi again...
I found wlansettings.exe with total commander i can start wifi from there.. But in the communications part wifi icon is not active...
**** Hi
Same problem with winmo6.5.. I found a topic about 1st diamond but the treatment is useless with topaz

Any idea ???
Is there a solution about dead wifi icon..

i have same problem... wifi icon in touch flo settings is not clickable, but through standard windows settings (like control panel) i can turn it on/off and connect to networks without any problem. only in touch flo it looks like disabled.
it started when i wanted to connect to wifi via touch flo UI, but the wireless manager crashed repeatedly, so i turned phone off/on and since then is wifi controll in touch flo disabled.

I'm having this problem on my wife's Pure. Not sure if it was like this out of the box (shutter to even think about that day with AT&T bloat phone) Now running Dutty's Topaz Holy Grail LP. TF wifi setting is greyed out (subdued) and unclickable. I have to go to Settings/Menu/All Settings/Connections/WiFi/Turn on-off wifi/OK/OK/X. That's 8 clicks every time I want to turn on/off wifi. Would appreciate any help.

Did you install the Beam cab? Not sure why WiFi would be greyed out unless the Beam cab overwrote it. Mine is working fine.

I haven't installed the the beam cab.

[Q] More than 2 devices connected to hotspot.

On my wife's and my own Galaxy s4 running FreeGS4 v2.0 ROM - the hotspot works via menu, I have a toggle widget for it that works too. I can connect up with multiple devices to either phone...
But neither phone will allow more than 2 devices to connect at any one time.
I went into the LAN settings to confirm settings are correct - and they are, DHCP is active and allow up to 100 connects - this was default, i tried lower and lower numbers, all the way down to 8, but neither phone will allow more than 2 connections at the same time.
I tried to toggled airplane mode on and off, I've tried rebooting. I've tried manually entering the settings.
I'm starting to worry that it is a flaw in the ROM itself, but a friend of mine who also has the same phone and ROM as I do claims he can connect more than 2. So I'm not sure but I am at hair pulling out stage at this point.
Anyone have any ideas?
edit - search works! I found the solution, and I feel 3% more stupid for somehow missing it earlier

go to settings - hotspot - "press on configure->show advanced options->maximum connections" Thanks

Click on configure hotspot and page down in the pop up menu that appears. Click the box that says show advanced options and then set the maximum connections you want to allow. You can also set 2.4ghz or 5.0ghz in this menu.
