Hi all,
I have a big problem with my Prophet and its WIFI, I didn't manage to connect to anything.
First, I had the Orange French rom.
When i tried to connect to my hotspot with WPA protection, although the prophet could see the hotspot, try to connect to it, connection seemed to stay blocked... status was "connected to network" but no IP given (DHCP is activated on my hotpot).
Then I read that WPA wasn't well supported by WM5 so i put a WEP encryption on my hotspot. This time the prophet connect and an IP address appeared in wifi sttings, but connection reseted all the time... connected, not connected, connected again, not connected...
impossible to stabilise the connection.
I tried on another hotspot without encryption, and same thing, connection reseting again and again...
Now I've just tried with the last dopod rom which I've found right here, but no change, the wifi connection is impossible.
I'm kinda lost, dunno what's going wrong with something that should work without any problems...
Does someone ever seen something like this?
Could it be a material failure?
Thanks a lot for your help!!! :wink:

It was a hardware disfunction, replaced today with another prophet which works fine
New Prophet Revision out ?
Hello,
I Just got my XDA Neo (o2Germany) 2 days ago and because i´ve read about the Dopod Rom beeing faster, i upgraded immediatly.
The Problem now is the bad Wireless performance, i never get a good connection - Still if i am right next to the Router/Accesspoint...
Did i understand you right that this is a Hardware failure ?
Can I correct this with a different Rom ?
The Problem is that i cannot give it back to o2 now, because of the Dopod Rom - Maybe i have to try the Downgrade Method presented yesterday...
Can you give some more information about Wlan performance ??
THX !!
Hi,
First of all, did you try the wireless connection with your first original rom?
And what do you mean by "never get a good connection", could you explain that point? does the prophet connect and disconnect?
You must know that wifi performance are kinda poor on this device from what I heard and what I saw... you'll never get something like your laptop for example.
But I'll do some test at home and see how it's going now that I can really connect (I never could before, so I never really tried :wink
Anyway, in my case it was clearly hardware as I have the problem on my Orange rom, then I had the same problem with the Dopod one.
Now I just received a new prophet, and it worked fine on the first try with the Orange rom...
I'd like to try with the Dopod again but until they find a way to downgrade, i won't take the irsk... or maybe yes, i dunno
First of all: Thank you for answering so quick !!!
Yes i can connect, and i can also Use Opera, Internet Explorer and so on...
But i think it is really slow, i never got the connection far away from "poor" ...
Even the original o2 Xda neo rom was not better...
I will have to try some different Roms when downgrading will be made possible i think.
you said your o2 rom wasn't better? is that right?
it is slow for me too (right now i'm on my prophet over wifi)... but i don't think the rom would make a big difference, i mean, the dopod us supposed to be the fastest...
I think the device itself have a poor wifi...
could you confirm that your o2 rom was as poor as the dopod or did i get it wrong?
maybe you could also test your connection speed too.
If you tell me how i can test the Connection, i can do for sure !
I did not "really" test the o2-rom, i started the XDA and after Windows was ready, i saw it is quite slow in the menue - wireless was detected and i connected but signal quality was exactly the same bad thing i have now.
Edit: TXRATE is "Auto", after 2 Minutes or so it drops to 2Mbps
408 Kb/s is what I get when I run a basic speed test.
that ain't bad... and I t ink pocket IE is quite slow too...
We are not on a PC after all, the proc speed also affect the connection speed.
I think that it's already nice to have wifi on a little device like this
I`ll do a DSL-Speedtest, i think this is what you did, too ?
EDIT:
Downloading is very fast can you give me a clue wehre i can exactly see the speed?
exactly
Mhm, after a new Hardreset a interruped the *.cab file installs with the first reboot - The System is much faster now. The Wireless Quality is not better but i can Download and Phone via Skype without any Problems and interruptions.I Think my System had an overload, now it is fast and it works.
I will test the wireless range tomorrow...
Hello I'm a really newby to ppc's.I have a question.

I have searched a lot on this forum and have not found any solution to the wifi problem on HTC diamond....I am sure there are experts in this forum who have worked around their way and I would request them to post their comments as to how they have got their WIFI talking on HTC Diamond...........
I am trying connecting to my home wireless network. It finds the network but unable to connect to it. Any help please? Has anyone managed to get it connected to any Wifi? I ahve already set the power management to "best performace...no succes.......
(My laptop and O2 stealth does get connected to the same network and it an open wifi connection)...........PLZ Help.....
There is no wifi problem on the Diamond. it works fine for on every ROM I have used.
It sounds like you haven't set the access key in your Diamond.

Would be kind enough to elaborate......Mine is open WIFI router, there is no need for any pass keys......my other phone O2 stealth perfectly connects while HTC diamond doesn't.........
Please do have a problem and that the reason there are so many view on this thread in just 30 minutes....
thanking you in advance for your help........
i've never known any problems, have u flashed a cooked ROM or changed the Radio?
if so, i would try going back to stock and see if it works then, if not, send it back as faulty.
I'm not aware of any 'known issue' with the WiFi on the Diamond either, certainly mine and my girlfriend's both work fine in this respect. If you've never successfully connected to any wireless network then you've got a hardware issue; send your phone back to be repaired and stop wasting time looking for a software solution would be my advice.
wifi,,,
Glad that a lot of users doesn't had problem with the wifi, but it's an iminent malfunction, and looks to be a hardware problems...
I had change my rom and radios a lot, and the issues are the same:
Opened the comm manager or the settings-connection-wifi, turn on the wifi, and it's turn off again...
In my case, often worked properly after soft reset, and i often connect with 3g or gprs, but...it's a suck!!!
Step by step......connecting to wifi....

Would you please step by step elaborate ....connecting to an open wifi network......will be really greatful........
if your diamond is not connecting to your router there is some posibilities. Are you at home or work, at work on the AP you can have security setings and MAC filtering. At home if you have not implement security and mac filtering you can be to far of your router, You must be between -60 and -80 Db max and at -80 it is easyer with a MIMO router, etc...
Got the same problem as you
this is how i fixed mine.
1) I download a radio rom thing and install it
2) restart the device and the wifi is working perfectly.
No problems at all!
Got the same problem as you
I download a radio rom and install it but still turn off again
HTC touch pro problem wifi

Hello,
There is a problem with my Touch Diamond 2 phone and it is about the connection with WiFi. I recently updated the rom to manilla 2.5 because HTC has made a rom update on their site for us as users for free so I decided to update it. But now I have a problem that I haven't had before and that is that if I connect to wifi and enter the passkey it is all right connected, but when I open the opera internet browser or just want to update the weather in the HTC menu it says that it has no connection or I get a red page with some error information like 'Can't connect to server..'. It do show the 2 arrows that means that it has connection. It also has a IP address in the settings but still no connection. If I connect to normal 3G or HSDPA network it has fast internet and works fine (but it costs money of my mobile subscription of course... )
If anyone could help me I would appreciate that much!
btw: I googled already but the posts on forums that I could find are like half so there is no solution brought because people are giving no answer. I hope that you guys could help me out with this
Thanks!

I don't know about that issue myself, so if I came across that same problem I'd have to use the search option. Did you try and see if anyone else has had the same problem?
i try to find something but i cant' find that someone else have the same problem.
wow man! reviving a thread from mid-2010! you have every right to revive it because it is your thread and you couldn't find a solution to your first problem.
but i am confused! its been more than 6 months since you reported the problem. how come you haven't tried a newer ROM? v1.43 and v1.48 are very very very old! latest is v3.14, try it and let us know if it fixes your problem. if you have a T-Mobile HD2 or a branded HD2 (vodafone, etc), then choose a latest official ROM appropriately.
good luck!

that was when i open thread now i have 3.14 ROM also i was at 1.72 ROM ...but still the same maybe i need to try with android.iIf i don't find any solution i'll try that
aah ok so you have tried the latest ROMs...so you see how it can help us and save all of our time if you post more information instead of copy/pasting the old version of the question from mid-2010?
here are some more things to try to isolate the cause of the problem:
1. try your device on some OTHER wifi network, e.g. at your friend's house or in a coffee shop, etc. does the wifi hang on ANY wifi network or just the one at your house, for example...?
2. when the wifi dies, leave it DEAD, do not disconnect/reconnect wifi. try to ping your HD2 from your desktop/laptop, assuming all devices and computers that you own are on the same wifi network. tell us what happens.
3. same as step 2, there are some programs for windows mobile that you can run on your HD2 to see your device's IP assignments, etc. such tools can also be used to ping your desktop/laptop from your HD2. i think one program that can do such things is "network browser". tell us what it shows regarding network card information BEFORE your wifi dies as well as AFTER your wifi dies. also tell us if you can ping your desktop/laptop from your HD2 after your wifi appears dead.
4. does it make any improvement if you run your wifi on "best performance" instead of "best battery". note that "best battery" is the default setting which can cause reception issues in case the wifi signal is weak.
5. yes! certainly try android, it should help isolate the problem further to confirm/deny if it is a hardware problem. but you should know that your device's MAC address will be DIFFERENT if you install android (this is because both the SD and NAND versions of android and MAGLDR currently available have no automatic way to read the actual MAC address from your device's firmware). this might cause your router to behave BETTER if the problem lies somewhere in the router's configuration. it might solve the problem for you, but you will have to shift permanently to android just to fix the wifi issue and you might never find out what router setting was affecting windows mobile if the problem really was the router settings. tricky isn't it?

Ok thank you so much man i'll try all of this solution and i'll write again tnx again
Hey
I have the same problem with my HD2. I cant load any pages after 5mins of being connected to WiFi. Disconnecting and connecting again works for the first 5mins but then you need to do it again. Very annoying.
If I changed the battery saving settings in the WiFi options, it seemed like it helped sometimes.
I searched alot on the inet, but I couldn't get it to work properly.
I sent a message to htc.com support and they told me i had to perform a hard reset and upgrade to the newest official rom. I did this but none helped.
Now I've sent it for repair under warranty. I'll let you know if they fixed it when I get it back. I'm not sure if there is any other sollution, but I hope they will fix it for me.
Regarding the previous post about how to isolate the problem I will tell you how my device responded to these situations:

"Best performance" seemed to extend the time on which my WiFi would die. So I think this definetely has something to do with the problem. However I tried alot and nothing really solved it. Tapping 'Renew IP adress' a few times seemed to help too.
I read on the net about battery managing for WiFi on mobile phones in general, and for other devices who could choose the option to block the auto managing the problem was solved. Our HD2 however doesn't have this option.

I have tried alot of android builds (NAND & SD) but all had the same problem. I didn't spend much time figuring out what I could do about it while in android but by connecting the regular way the problem occured quite fast.
