Hey all... after getting my phone back from repair... with no notes. i put my old orange sim back in, with it still not working. So got a new sim from orange, which once registered worked a treat. But now i have a problem, my wifi doesnt work on the phone... it see's the network but tries connecting and then back to square one... I have reinstalled the genuine 6.5 rom and still no worky...
any ideas peeps?
cheers
Is the network protected? If so, have you keyed in the passcode?
I sometimes have difficulty connecting to my router - usually a reboot (of the router) fixes the problem.
Hope this helps.
yeah, usally its not that simple to connect to wlan... for my router i had to put in standardgateway ip, passcode and stuff...sometimes even MAC address
Try to go to WiFI settings and move the Power Settings slider to the left, in "best performance" position. I solved this problem with some ROMs that could "see" the Access Points but couldn't connect...hope it helps.
EDIT: consider also to install a recent radio (not FM !! )
there is security on the network... wm 6.1 connected fine... passkey off and still no joy. installed .57 radio... no change. bar moved to best performance.. it can see but wont connect.. is this a 6.5 bug... dont really want to flash a custom rom as 6.5 is best performance and will lose all calenders etc as the backup tool fails to restore anything other than contacts effectively.
Did you reboot the router? This sounds very like the problem I have on occasion - the phone can see the network but nothing will persuade it to connect, then I reboot the router and everything is fine.

Hi,
My mini s seems to have a problem connecting to my home network. When i switch the wi fi on it searches but does not connect. I hard reset a coyuplke of day ago and switch on the wifi and it found my network then promted to enter key, which i did. The phone then connected no problem. No when i switch wifi on it doesnt connect. I go into network cards tab and look what networks are available and my network is there with available next to it but the options have all change (key be given out auto etc...) so i change them to the correct ones etc.. but still it doesnt connect? What i'm i doing wrong? I has worked in the past but not now. I have not installed and 3rd party software and my router is working fine (laptop downstairs works no problem off network).
any ideas
cheers
hi,
i just reseted my router and renamed my homenetwork and assigned a newwep key. started wifi on mini s and it connected straight away to the my newly named network. switch wifi off then on again and now it wont connect. it see's the network and says its available but wont connect. under the settings the network key has changed. it's defo a problem with the phone cus everything else works fine (laptop, psp). it's just not saving the network info???
and ideas???
cheers
think it could be because i've upgraded to o2 new rom??? Could somebody with the latest UK o2 rom please confirm that ther can connect to the networ?
cheers
This also happens to me with the latest O2 ROM.
What you have to do is to manually connect and perservere by going to Network Cards, tapping the network and then select Connect. It may take a few go's but it will connect eventually.
Report back how you get on.
You may want to set up your router to assign a fixed IP address to the Mini S's MAC address as well.
Sounds like the problem I've been having. I've also got an O2 rom and am having problems connecting to any wifi network, even though it worked fine the first time.
I've tried going to the network cards page and clicking connect, but it hasn't worked so far. talkingbollox - when you say 'eventually', how long are you talking?
I'll also try assigning a fixed ip address later, but my hopes aren't high.

Sometimes 2 attempts, sometimes up to 20.
Persevere!
20! I probably tried about 10 times before I gave up. Surely this is a fault. You shouldn't have to waste so much time just to get a connection! :x
I tried MAC address filtering too but that didn't seem to work.
Do you think this is a O2 ROM problem or a hardware problem? If it's just O2, I think I might try a different ROM. Any suggestions which ROM to use?
My Mini S came already with the latest rom I think, and it works fine with my router (BT Voyager 2110)
Are you guys using the 802.11g reg edit?? Maybe thats why its not working, I actually did the hack before I ever turned on my wifi so I don't know if it worked without it. Try it My wizard connects with my router in G only 8)
Search the forum you will find loads of posts about it, and I think somebody has even made a cab file that does it for you, along with some speed tweeks that make your system faster.
It must have taken me in excess of 40 goes to connect last night.
Yes, I am using the g mode hack. My Voyager 2100 is set to broadcast in both b and g (i.e. mixed) mode.
I had the same problem... what I did was just entering the dns adress of my router.
So the ppc doesn't wait for the dhcp server to asign it .. it works great when surfing at home !!!
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.
wi fi problem........

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,
I have NOT got connection to secured wifi net. I tried it at home and etc., when I try connect to open wifi, it is OK, but secure wep, wpa etc. is problem,
I reinstall my router at home, I unlocked my HTC and tried all avillable ROM from xda and a chanched different radio.
Now I have got official ROM from HTC - last from page support of HTC,
but problem is here.
I would like restore my ROM, but my pc update had failure and pls help me with this problem.
Try the following:
Change router channel
Try connecting to another router / network LAWFULLY!
Hard reset
Take it to the vendor of the phone
Anytime I turn off wifi connection and try to connect with 3g after it there´s no application can get any access to internet.
Even softreset or deleting and typing new ISP settings don´t work except hardreset until I turn on wifi and turn it off again.
Really weird!
Can anyone help me please!?
Thanks!
I had an issue recently that sounds very similar. I altered some wi-fi settings, specifically to have a fixed IP address on my home network and when I was away from my network, 3G stopped working.
My fix was to use the wizard to set up my data access again from scratch (Start - Settings - Connections - Connections Setup). After this, everything worked again. Not sure if this'll help, but might be worth a try.
I still don't know why one affected the other, but if I go anywhere near my data settings, it happens and is repeatable.
Problem fixed with original rom
Thanks for answer, but I tried your advice couple of times before.
No result!
but its the same, I have static IP at home too and connection works fine but after disabling wifi no internet connect available.
Now I flashed original HTC rom and I have no problem anymore. It has to deal with the cooked roms of Dutty (both versions v1.7 and v1.8 extreme).
I would like use one of these roms but I have to fix that!
I've had the problem and was fixed by - in connections... "Programs that access the internet use:" was "My work network" -ie wifi.. instead should be "Internet over GPRS"
changing it fixed it.
i find it annoying it should have "Try wifi first, if no access THEN use the Expensive data plan"
I´ve had tried that options too...no result!
But it has to deal with your hint I think. Maybe my settings don´t effect like it does with your handheld. Maybe something´s wrong with writing settings in registry?
I have a same issue.
there´re lot of people having that same issue....
Maybe Dutty by himself is able to give us answer?!
I´ve flashed Dutty´s 1.9 now but I have same issue again.
What´s wrong with my settings?
Same settings worked very well in original htc rom.
What the heck is going on?
Fresh flash of WM 6.5 over radio 3.42.50 on a Titan. Under Network Management, I've selected that "Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using:" My Work Network, since I don't have a data plan. I go to Wifi settings, select Add New, put in the ssid, click through the security settings (temporarily disabled for this test purpose). My network shows up as "Unavailable". (I'm standing right next to the router). I click "Connect", it says "Connecting" for a couple of seconds and then goes back to "Unavailable".
What should I check first? I'm at my wits end.
You shouldn't have to "add new", your ssid should be automatically discovered and displayed in the list of wifi networks.
Did you connect to a wifi with your phone before, or is it a first attempt ?
Yes, I'd been connecting just fine until a few weeks ago. In fact, the refusal to connect was what prompted me to flash the thing -- figured that starting over might help.
So, your wifi connection was working well, but suddenly, for some obscure reason, it stopped working. Therefore, you decided to reflash your phone, but it didn't help, still not working.
Is that correct ?
I know I sound like a complete doofus, but yes, that's basically it. The weirdest thing is that every once in a while it'll find a wireless network and connect. But the connection never lasts for more than a few minutes, and then when it's gone the network is "Unavailable". And to anticipate your next question: There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for when it works. At this point I'm thinking I'll pick up a used Titan or Vogue on eBay and junk this thing.
Did you try a different rom ? Could be a faulty rom.
I've tried several different roms, yes.
this happens in some roms...
go2 wireless lan settings and then go2 power mode.change it to best perfomance frm best battery
I having some wierd problems with my universals wifi ..
I can see my homenetwork when i scan for it. My Wifi is set up to a simple WPA password and no encryption.
My Universal sees the network and i can connect to it fine. The first thing i think is strange is when connecting to it, it has automaticly checked the box saying "This network is hidden" which it is not. I then continue and the rest of the settings it sees fine. I enter my password and it connects. Fine everything is working, but then suddenly it loses its connection and now i cant connect to it anymore. If i try to reconnect it just stops and gives up and then cant see the network anymore. I have to disable and enable wifi before it can see it again but i cant connect. The only way i can reconnect, is if i hard reset the device! A reboot doesnt help. I've tried another rom, but that didnt work at all, only telling me the password was wrong even though i knew it was not.
I have tried to dissable all security on the router just to test but it doesnt work either..
What is going on here ?
EDIT:
I just tried this with a number of different networks.. Dlink routers, Open networks, HTC Hero and HTC Wildifre S as hotspots.. All doing the same.. trying to connect and then it gives up ..
EDIT 2 :
I've now installed this rom, and with that rom theres no problems.. So i guess it has something to do with the drivers in WM6 roms for uni
