Wifi - New Rom

hey I've searched pretty much everywhere and I can't find a solution, Got K-jam Rom 2.16.9.1, apart from not being able to find a better Rom, I can't fix my wifi issues, weak signal - struggles to connect and usually gives an error stating that it couldn't assign IP adress. ok so far I've put wifi setting to full performance and placed a registry hack, but nothing changed. assigning my own IP I haven't tried cause I don't know how to do it! anyhow I know this wifi problem is old, but perhaps there is a solution out there!
anyone come across a solution ?

Try to update the Radio ROM.

I'm having this same problem and I can't figure out how to fix it.
I'll try connecting to wifi at home and work and it'll say it's connecting but never actually connects, and then an error message will come up saying "cannot obtain a server assigned IP address"
and I've already updated my Radio to the 2.19.11 version. I also tried changing the access point name from "wap.voicestream.com" to "internet2.voicestream.com" and that didn't work either.
Please help!

ah dude if your using t-mobile, then u have to get 2.69, works best

If you have T-Mobile and you're having this problem it's because you can't use the proxy while you're connected to wifi. You have to go in to connection settings and remove the check from the use proxy checkbox.

i just checked the proxy setting and it actually wasnt checked...but im at my friends house and the wifi is actually working. i guess it just doesnt work at home and work haha.

If it works at your friends house and not at home or work, is your network protected? Did you supply it with the keys if it is?

Yeah at home my network is password protection and I do have the key, but still doesn't work :*(
The one I connected to earlier was an unsecure network, btw.

Ref: Wifi - New Rom
I have i Mate K-Jam with ROM 2.16.9.1 WWE. Post that I have upgraded Radio Rom to 2.47.11 which is available on XDA ftp site and it works well with 64 and 128 bit WEP key and over Wireless Access Points which are G or B standard.

It sounds like you may be using the wrong type of security on the network. Log in to the network with a laptop and then check the security settings. I generally use WPA-Personal with TKIP. However there are several other possibilities. My WIZA100 works fine with my g-54 set to TKIP.

I admit that I am somewhat unaware of some of the workings on the Wiz. However, I thought that the Radio Rom was only for the GSM functions. Does the ROM also include the Wireless Radio functions?

just a basic question on wifi, is it possible that not all AP can be detected?

Hi, i thought this falls under hacking so I posted it here. First off, allow me to mention that my device is an O2 Atom. I work for a corporation w/c has it own internal security implementation. I'm not sure, if the said corporate security is the reason, that I could not detect any access points(AP)? But my pc w/c also has a custom corporate build, can detect and successfully connect to the APs. Can the corporate restrict or hide it from an unauthrorize personal device, like my O2 Atom?
The wifi in my atom is working fine, as I could verify this by connection from my brothers house, w/c has his on personal internet connection w/ wireless access point(AP) setup. I've also used several wireless detection applications here and there, but still could not detect wifi in the office area. Kindly advice.

The Atom (as far as I'm aware) only supports Wi-Fi 802.11b
One reason is the network you cant see might be a 802.11g or n, which is not able to be connected to.. you can nicely ask your network admin to enable .11b backwards compatability.
Another reason is because they are maybe not broadcasting the network name SSID, your device cant see it - even though it is actually there. I don't know if the Atom has the ability to specify a network connection it cant see.
Hope this helps.

can a registry tweak enable this 802.11g or n thing? i saw in one of the threads here the said registry tweak and sk tools has this. i tried both but still no luck would you happen to know if it is hardware or is it really possible to strech this capability on atom?

the g/n wifi options are hardware specific, so unless you want to buy a new phone you might be out of luck, sorry to say.
I'm surprised your network admin has not enabled 'b' compatabilty, but there's so many different security concerns he may have done it for the right reasons. Talk to them, it's the only way to be sure (be warned though - a lot of admins wont like you using non-offical hardware on their networks)

hi snachez, our network admin verified that our APs are running on B and G. i've also verified that my unit is B compliant. btw, my device is an O2 Atom. i think i mess it up with the registry tweak i mentioned before. apparently is it for another device. my mistake this is the said registry tweaks:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TNETWLN1\PARMS: dot11SupportedRateMask=1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TNETWLN1\PARMS: dot11SupportedRateMaskG=8

Your problem is probably that the SSID isn't being broadcasted, so you'll have to connect manually.

btw, i'm using a cooked rom. maybe there is somebody out there that is still using the official wm5 for o2 atom, please verify and post the default(O2 Atom official wm5) registry of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TNETWLN1\PARMS: Thanks in advance...

wi-fi router in hd2 working?

Anybody used the wi-fi router option on the hd2 to connect their pc to internet? I have startet the application and it says running, but no wi-fi router is found on mine or my colleagues computers. I tried the same thing with the wifi hotspot app for iphone, and that worked as a charm.
Just wondering if anyone else has got it working at all?

I've not been able to get a PC to see my phone, but friends have been able to see and use it on their iPhones.

I am using a Leo ROM on my Diamond 2 and it works for me.... can't wait to get my HD2!

Mine not.
Notebook see it. Connection between them establish but i cant browse

"The page cannot be displayed"

Works without problems on my notebook (Windows Vista). I've done nothing special with the settings.

HTD HD2
I've connected 2 notebook without problems!

Well, now it works like a dream! Dont know what was wrong earlier today, but a couple soft restarts seems to have made it work!
thanks for all replies

Mine's an O2 phone that came without the WiFi Router app installed on the ROM. I downloaded and installed Tom Condon's HTC WiFi cab from and it works well. The only thing that I don't have (yet) is the shortcut to the WiFi Router app from the Comm Manager interface.

Is this the one from the Bowman Pack? I have installed this and it doesn't work. Can you give a link to the cab you installed? Ta!
*Edit....this *does* work but the range is abysmal, the HD2 has to be sat on top of my laptop in order for it to work.

I heard O2 ripped the wifi app and drivers out of their ROM (not 100% sure). If thats the case you could always flash the Official HTC ROM which will restore wifi, clear a load of horrible O2 branding and add Youtube app Check out this Tutorial on how to do it.
By the way I've use the Wifi app and my Linux and Windows PC/laptops can all detect and connect to the phone. Handy if your out of cable...but unsecure due to WEP.

I had the YouTube app on my O2 ROM. I've now flashed with the latest official HTC ROM and WiFi Router is now fully installed.

I've found that name of Wi-Fi router needs no space !!! so, my computer could found it now...

been using wifi tethering with win7 64bit laptop no probs - nice function to have.

I tried to use, but can't see it neither in a XP nor a Vista!!!

my computer could'nt see it too

I could see and connect but no connectivity to the internet
Assigning IP took about 1 min

I can confirm it works fine for me, on an unbranded device.

It worked for me but only when I switched off my home broadband wifi router.

They may have been using the same channel, which would mean that the stronger signal would drown out the weaker one. I'd expect a home router to have a stronger signal so that would make sense. You can change the channel that your home wifi router uses, if this is an issue for you.

Surf the web on Hero with PC connection/HTC Sync

Hi guys, i would like to know if it's possible to navigate on Hero with the PC connection just like on Windows Mobile with ActiveSync. Thanks

not out of the box, no. HTC Sync is not designed to allow that.
I don't hook mine up to the PC at all so i don't know of any workarounds or third party apps, but i am sure that if it is possible, someone here will know how.
I know this has been asked before, and i have a nasty suspicion the answer may well be no.

Ok, thanks for the quick reply. This means that i have to wait a week before starting navigate with my Hero.. i've got a problem with my operator atm and i can't subscribe a data connection

Do any of the custom roms around here allow it?
I am able to do this on an older HTC Touch Diamond.

You could do it on a Touch Diamond, because this has long been a function of WinMo. I'm not aware if this is even possible within the versions of Android currently available, but I'm sure it will come eventually.

Can you not use your pc as an access point and connect your hero to it via wifi for internet sharing?

How would I do that?

first of all, youd have to find a hero that actually works with an Ad-Hoc connection!
Do you not have a wifi network at home? if so, just hook it up to that and use your broadband.

Can the T-mobile USA version be used as a wireless router?

If I have a laptop and I am a passenger using it in a car, can I take out the T-mobile USA version of the HD2 and have my laptop connect to it to access the internet (using the phone as a router)?

May be not out of the box but you can always update it with a custom rom and get the option to use it as a router

With this Cab installed it can I believe:
http://bwone.com/downloadsthebowmanpackpro2.zip
Take the cab file in the zip and put it on your phone then install.

you can connect the hd2 to the laptop with the usb cable and choose the built in internet sharing application or share via bluetooth. wifi router is a paid program but also excellent program since it turns the hd2 into a wireless router.

It's sad that they've seem to have taken out the native HTC Wifi Router app that was built into the Euro version of this phone...

Yeah, but you can still install the application file in the USA T-mobile version of the HD2 right?

reclaim wifi router with hard reset?
My Tilt had the native internet sharing option hidden. I received advice from this forum to do a "hard reset" followed immediately on boot up by a soft reset. It was great it took off all the AT&T garbage programs and gave back the Internet Sharing and other at&t blocked tools.
Will that work here on the T-Mobile HD2? And how?

Download the file in the 3rd post in this thread...unzip it on your desktop...copy the HTC WIFI sharing cab file to your HD2 SD Card...use the file explorer on your hd2 to navigate to the SD card...install...surf

Using the Wifi router cab worked flawlessly last week while I was in Vegas. I was using it with my macbook air and no problems.

so this only works for sharing a wifi connection, or will it work for using the cellular network as well?

When you use the WiFi Router Application, it turns your HD2 into a access point. The HD2, now an access point gets connectivity from your 3G/Edge/GPRS Data Connection and transfers it to the device ( notebook,desktop,etc) you connect to the HD2 Router application.
Simply put, you are using the HD2's data(internet) without having to connect cables.
Hope this helps clear things up for you
Thank you,
Monnie

sweet! this is what I was looking for.. did TMo include this application, or does it need to be installed from a separate source?
anyone try it on a mac yet? how is that set up?
edit: nevermind.. this isn't for "tethering"- it's for using your device as a wifi "hotspot", right? so I just open airport and tell it to connect to the name of my hd2 network connection...

wifi sharing
followed the exactsteps works great ....tried it on my iMAC perfect .....

I wanted the wifi tethering as well, but when I installed wifi-sharing cab it kind of wigged out my phone a little. No longer allowing me to use wifi on my phone it was thinking I was trying to launch the app and would not connect to my home router. So now I use the Internet Sharing App that comes with the phone. It is super easy to use with no side effects. All you need is a USB. Just go to start/tools/internet sharing. and bingo!

First, try changing the SSID (network name) on the phone...don't use whatever it defaults to, try "pandanet" or something.
Second, I know there's a couple of cabs floating around for the wifi router thing, the one I have attached here is the only one I got working properly..don't know if this is the same one you used or not.
