[Q] Cant get wifi to turn on (treo pro WM6.1) - Networking

I inherited a Sprint Treo Pro from my daughter-in-law... I cant seem to get the wifi to enable. I go to the com manager and click the turn on button, the little wheel turns for a little while then back to the screen without wifi on...
If I go to the menu/settings/wireless lan it tells me that wifi is off and offers to turn it on. I click the link and nothing happens. If I go to settings network cards it shows "IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible WiFi Adapter" is there. I have tried a hard reset/soft reset to no avail. Help?

O2 Xda neo not detecting Wifi networks

Hi,
I couldn't find any other thread about this problem:
My O2 Xda neo has stopped detecting Wifi networks.
I activate Wifi in the comm manager, Wifi appears to work (the antenna icon appears, but not "radiating"), but never searches for wifi networks, only asks me to add a new one, whereas before a few weeks or so, it would display all the Wifi's found in my vicinity.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
n
i have the same problem...and couldn't find a solution for about 6 months on now....=(
Have you try on setting\connectons\wifi ? it has the list of avaiable wifi access points that were detected when you turn on wifi on comm manager.
(with the wm5 rom on my prophet, it auto connect to wifi access point whenever i turn on wifi on comm manager but when i use wm6 rom, I have to go to setting\connectons\wifi and connect to avaiable access point manually )

i still cant find any visible connecting point for me....but my house is wifi hot spot....i sit beside the router still cant detect anything....><"
haiz....><"
are u on Active sync or not? I remember that the Active sync on winXP have an option to disable wifi whenever you connect to pc (I use window mobile device center on Vista and don't remember exactly ).
sometime, when i can't connect to wifi, I check on setting connection and I found that the wifi icon with the name "WIFI" is replace with the same icon but with name "network card". I just soft reset and everything was fine then
Try Hard Resetting the Device
I have the same problem here with prophet g4 and wm6.1 konrad (tryed shadow's too).
Autosearch of wifi networks is missing.
maybe this our solution:
but how to proceed??
I wonder if this is hardware rather than software. Try an official WM5 (AKU2.2) ROM from the ftp/wiki and see if you still get this problem.
Can a hardware issue be fixed???
Hey all I am having the same problem on a Wizard wifi LED is blinking antena icon is up but no detection of APs I am ready to throw this thing. Some one hook a soln up please!!!

Another Wifi Connect Problem!

Am using O2 XDA Atom Life with Official WM6 ROM Update. The Wifi worked fine for sometime and then now I can't connect to my network.
1) The "Connections" tab in Wifi-Utility is missing
2) When I turn the Wifi On using "Wifi-Utility", It can see my network but when I click on, it goes to "Network Adapters".
3) "Wireless Manager" cant detect Wifi is on if I turn on using "Wifi-Utility"
4) The Wifi Icon doesnt appear though I turn on using Wifi utility (but the orange LED flashes though). When I changed the Registry DWORD to 3,5,8 the icon appear but its not getting connected.
Please help.
I also have a problem with WIFI on my HTC Touch Diamond Vodafone. It not turn on. I try many ROM's (original,...), try RADIO, SPL, Hard-SPL, but WIFI dont't work and i can't see MAC address. Any sugestion. THX.

WiFi issue on Ipaq 6915

Hi everyone!
Usually, this forum gave me all the answers i needed, but this time i had to start a thread.
WiFi just stopped working. I don't know when it exactly hapeened, because the PDA wasn't used for several days.
Now, when i go to Ipaq Wireless, WiFi tab and turn it on, it says Status:On, Network: Searching and the WiFi icon i orange color.
But, when i go to View WiFi Networks, it opens the Configure Network Adapters window every time. And when i choose HP iPAQ Wi-Fi Wirelress adapter from the lower list it opens settings window.
After that, when i go to Advanced in Ipaq Wireless window, in the Main tab, field Status says Off., and none of the other fields have anything in them.
And the WiFi LED is not blinking when i try to turn WiFi on.
Maybe there is some registry setting i accidentaly modified, because i tried to fix my dissapearing SD card (after suspend mode) problem by chaning registry values, which seemed to help other people.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.
Unplug your phone from the PC will solve the problem.

It wasn't plugged in the PC.
Clean reset did it.
WiFi is working again. I guess it was a matter of conflict with some software.

[HELP] WiFi isn't working / turning on!!

Xda-viewers,
yesterday i tried to put on my WiFi, but it didn't work anymore
I have my HD2 for about 1month, very happy with the phone,
and this is the first mayor malfunction
When i press WiFi ON in the comm-manager it shows it's loading,
and then nothing, doesn't go ON,
turned the phone off-on, soft reset.. nothing..
anyone else had this glitch?
hard reset or other solution?
It always worked, untill yesterday
If I were you I would go for a full backup with SPB, and then restore (maybe excluding everything regarding the wifi) after a hard reset
I would try doing hard reset.
However, I had the same problem with my old Fujitsu Siemens Pocket Loox N560 and they had to exchange mainboard.
Do you have it charging? I can't seem to connect to any Wifi networks when I have the phone plugged in. Once i disconnect it, it works fine.
If you are connecting it using USB, make sure WMDC / ActiveSync is set to allowing your phone wireless connections while connected to your PC!
???
phone is fully charged
not connected to PC or anything
not working, going to try some things
anyone goto suggestions except hard reset?
else i hard reset tommorow,
thankz
You mean you can't turn ON or NOT CONNECTING?
If its not connecting, did you try to delete the connection settings from advanced wireless settings and try reconnecting again?

I've got exactly the same problem - have only noticed it today.
If I go into wireless network config and select my network there and click connect, it takes ages before it says "connected" and then immediately changes to "not connected". I've obviously checked and rechecked my settings. It simply will not connect any more.
i also can't remember installing an update which would cause this probleme..
Connected to PC
When connected to PC, in the comm manager, the WLAN is dissabled, can't even push it, maybe something went wrong with disconnecting and this is the reason why my WiFi is not working - going on?
Anyone?
I'm not at home, so can't do anything with mine at the moment, but out of curiosity, did you use then Wifi N option in BsB Tweaks? That's the only thing Wifi related that I can think of touching recently.
Tried it
Indeed, thought the same,
tried to put Wifi-N off, soft-reset, but no change
Almost at the edge of HARD-reset

I really hope it doesn't need a hard reset. I'm not gonna be happy if I have to do that AGAIN!
I'm gonna keep searching, in the hope of finding a solution.
Out of curiosity, do you ever use the Wifi router app?
WM-Wifirouter
I tried to use the Wlan-Router with Comm manager,
didn't work that well,
installed app I had on my P3600: WM-Wifirouter,
this worked like a charm,

I've solved my problem! Yay!!
I don't know if this will be of any help to you, but give it a try and see how you get on.
Basically, when using the in-built wifi router, it assigned the IP address 192.168.1.1 to the wireless adapter. This is fair enough, for a router, but obviously not for when you want to connect to a wifi network and get assigned an IP address automatically.
I had seen other people suggest that this may be the problem, so I'd already checked my IP settings for the wireless adapter, and they were set to automatic.
However, if you run the wifi router and then go to your IP settings, it says 192.168.1.1. Set it to automatic while the router is running.
This made my phone get a bit upset, and I ended up reseting it, but since then I've been able to connect to my home network again.
So...
1. Run and start the wifi router
2. Go to settings, Connections, Wifi, Wireless networks, Network Adapters (tab)
3. Select the network adapter (Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter)
4. Change to use a server-assigned IP address, instead of a specific one
5. Click OK
6. Reset the phone - don't close the wifi router app first.
7. When it starts up, go to the comm mananger and disable wifi.
You should now be able to start wifi and connect to your home network. (It may do it automatically if you don't do step 7 - I'm not sure).
Give it a try and let us know how you get on
Sensational johncmolyneux!!!
I had this problem too - it was doing my head in, but now seems like an obvious conflict. Thanks for finding the solution.
Now all I need to do is solve my BT Voice Commander problem (reported in many other threads) and the HD2 will have the same functionality as the Hermes it has replaced ;-)
Cheers,
Lordbowl
You still haven't hard reset?! I am doing hard reset every 6days because of mod/theme and other crap testing
Backups with resco/pim/office2007 entreprise on windows 7 beta do the trick to have phone working in 15 minuts.

-When I try the WM-Wifi-Router app which I used on my P3600, it says not abble to connect WLAN
-All my settings are server-assigned-IP-address
Still not able to put on my WLAN,

comm manager and/or WI Fi can't turn off issue-t-mo usa

I went to the C.Manager. I can't get it to work right.
This is what it's set to:
Wireless Connection(Disables all wireless connection): ON
In-Flight Internet(Enable Wi-Fi and Direct push): OFF
Phone(Change phone settings): ON
Bluetooth(Turn on Bluetooth): ON
Wi-Fi (Connect to Wi-Fi Network): ON
MS Direct Push(Retrieve Outlook mail as it arrives): OFF
Data Connection(setup data connection): ON
With it like this, if I do a reset on the HD2, when it reboots, I see a Wi-Fi icon at the top. I click the icon, it says "Multiple Connections Detected", I click on the the wi-fi icon, New window opens titled Wi-Fi. Listed says wifi(Turn on wifi):OFF. Next line says Wi-Fi Networks, which has nothing listed.
I never changed of of the wi-fi stuff till today. I did do ONE regedit, for the Wireless N feature, but I changed it back when I got all these problems. And no, I don't know if I had this issues b4 that one edit change. And yes, I did a soft reset after every reg change.
1) I tried clicking the wi-fi on this screen.button pushes down but nothing happens. I press "X" and close the window
2) I launch Comm Manager. I try clicking the Wireless Connections Icon. It' still says ON. BUT Inflight Internet changes to:ON, and Phone changes to:OFF, Bluetooth changes to:OFF, Data-Connection is greyed out.
I press it again. Busy sign comes up, nothing changes.
3) I press Phone. It switches to:ON. And InFlight Internet changes:OFF
4) I press bluetooth, and it turns: ON
5) I press Wi-Fi and still nothing changes(Still:ON)
6) I press Data connection. It switched to: ON
7) I click In-Flight:OFF, changes to ON, and turns off PHONE.
8) I press InFlight again, nothing happens.
9) I press Phone, and it turns on the phone. and turns OFF the In-flight.
So... Wireless Connections:ON and the Wi-Fi:ON. Neither one does anything when I click it. Both is always GREEN ON.
ALSO
Under Settings-menu-all setting.
I click Connections and selected Wi-Fi.
"Turn on Wi-Fi" says: ON
I can click on it, and it says OFF
If I check Comm Manager, Wi-Fi is still ON and so is Wireless Connections.
I do a reset of the HD2
ANd I still get the wi-fi telling me theres a signal.Nothing changed. And when I go into "Turn wifi on", its checked again.
That little attenna I get after soft reset, only started after the regedit. I never had the wi-fi on b4 now. But I checked and that is reset to show 1.
"39. Speed Up Web Page Loading Considerably
The following registry tweak will enable almost instantaneous web page loading in the web browser. It apparently enables wireless N mode but seems to work with cellular data too. Go to:
HKLM/Comm/BCMSDDHD1/Parms
11nModeDisable = Change from 1 to 0"
Can't turn off wifi either
I have exactly the same problem, will be forced to hard reset, I think. Does anyone have any ideas?
