I THink WMWiFiRouter perm-killed my WiFi

So, I've been through 2 Moguls and both have the same problem.
First time, i downloaded and installed one of the newer builds of WMWiFiRouter. I started running it, turned on the hardware switch, and found my iPod Touch unable to get signal, despite the being inches away from the phone. I reset the install, and uninstalled it. running a new ROM, and the WiFi still didn't work. Read as "Unavailable" when it was on. So I called Sprint, and got a replacement, since i just assumed it had already been a replacement, and I assumed they gave it to me with Bum WiFi.
So Today I got the replacement. In the store i turned the hardware WiFi switch on, and got networks listed. I was happy to get WiFi on, so I installed WMWFR.. Again I received no signal. My Laptop couldn't see it at all. I upgraded the ROM, AND hard-Reset the device, and WiFi isn't even searching for local networks.

The only version that works for my Mogul is 1.20 any other version new or old I've tried doesn't work for me.. If you need a link PM me.

Version .89 works perfectly on DCD's 3.2.6
What rom/radio are you working with? I was afraid from the horror stories to upgrade wifirouter so I stuck with this one and is working perfectly.

Version .89 works perfectly on DCD's 3.2.6
What rom/radio are you working with? I was afraid from the stories to upgrade wifirouter so I stuck with this one and is working perfectly.
I just also remebered that a long while ago I had a custom rom running and when I was first introduced to wmwifirouter, can't remember which version, wifirouter would work but then I could not seek any wifi networks on my titan. I had to revert back to stock rom then flash new and a new version of wifirouter came out which took care of the problem.

Well i think i was running the M2D Round 4 ROM, and what ever the newest Sprint radio is, and tried it again. It killed my WiFi, again. I reflashed to Stock ROM and I still can't recieve any signals.

Wow, I stumbled upon this thread and I have to say that I have used WMWifiRouter since it came out and I have not ever had a problem with it on my Mogul. I have the latest version 1.25, could be there is a new update already, anyways it should back up your wifi settings, registry and all, before it does its thing. It does have a recovery feature in the options menu. I don't really know how it could stop your wifi from working. A hard reset should fix the problem since from what I understand it changes some of the registry settings so that it can bind the radio to the wifi.

The Difference
My question is:
When using WmWiFi Router, for those that are using it...did they buy it or torrent it?
Perhaps those with success are bought, and without are torrenting / using initial free versions.

have you guys with broken wifi seen this?

I installed that and my phone won't boot past the HTC screen. I have DCD 3.2.6 rom with 2.40 radio. Performing hard reset now.....
oh, and i forgot to turn my wifi switch on while installing the cab, maybe that's the reason....?
edit: after the hard reset, I tried the cab again with my wifi on, still no luck... oh, and i did a soft reset, and it won't boot past the HTC screen.. another hard reset required.

Wifi will not activate

After flashing with a new ROM etc..
When I go into communications, and tap on wifi.....it turns on for a sec and then turns back off. Any suggestions?
Here is what I have done so far.....
Started with: Radio v. 1.39.00, ROM V. 2.13.656.2, Bootloader 1.2
Went to bootloader 2.40(via Hard-SPL-MF.exe), Scrosler's Titan ROM 3.26 w/touchflow. and then Radio 3.42.30.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions or solutions.

Try the hardware switch on the side of the unit. The software switch was never able to work under most ROMs that I have ever used.

I toggled that (WiFi switch), and it does the same thing for me.

Should I try another ROM or radio version? I don't want to do a bunch of flashing.......anyone know a good firmware version (and radio v.) with everything working and ready to go in terms of functionality? I don't mind putting all the carrier info in etc, just want all the radios to work afterwards (wifi, eV(cellular data), cell, bluetooth, IR)

Never heard of the problem. I say reflash because something happened.

Changed the battery power option under wireless to best performance.....everything works now

That's odd behavior. Post if it happens again.

When I use the ppckitchen my wifi refueses to work. I'm actually about to reflash it right now to DCD to see if it fixes it

Same Problem Here
The Switch seems to be malfunctioning...WHen I turn it off, it turns on the software for a second, then shuts off. WHen I turn it in the same thing happens. Really weird.
THis happened BOTH TIMES i reloaded the ROM.

im using the Kaiser Comm Manager(10 Buttons), and on it it always appears that the wifi is turned off, but functions fine with the switch

i have the exact same problem since a couple of month and i cant seem to find a fix for that. I dont even know if the problem is software on hardware related.
i have used dcd 3.2.6 and 4.1.2
and im currently running ryan 2.0 i think wm6.1
maybe i should try wm 6.5
the only thing i know is that i would REALLY like my wifi to work :'(

DO you see a MAC address in the WLAN advanced settings?
If not, you just need to write a new MAC address and your WIFI will work, or so I have heard.
so... how do we enter in a MAC address if it is missing?
Anyone?

guys
theres no fix take it to sprint and they will replace it happen to me twice

VERY Strange WIFI problem

Ok
so for the last couple of days I've noticed that when at home, if I turn on the HD2's Wifi, my entire home network stops working. The router can no longer be accessed, even by wired Ethernet.
I figure it was a router issue, so I bought a newer better one by a different company - and what do you know: The same problem persists! As soon as I enable WiFi in my HD2 the router becomes unaccessible - and as I turn it off, all is well again.
I'm a computer technician, an MCSA and usually pretty good with those things, yet this issue baffles me. What on earth could cause that?
No other WIFI devices cause this issue, only my HD2.

What is the radio firmware version on the phone and what is the make, model and firmware revision of the router.
2 IT engineers are always better the one

My older router (with same problem) was 3Com 3CRWER200-75.
I replaced it with an Edimax BR-6524N. Same weird issue.
Both have latest firmwares.
My phone radio version... To be honst, I don't know how to check. My ROM version is 1.48.405.2 (71294) WWE - which is the stock rom of the Israeli version as supplied by Newpan.
Also worth mentioning, this didn't happen until a couple of days ago. Everyting was fine for months with the same exact configuration. SOMETHING must've changed, but what?
And how is it possible for my phone to kill two different routers?

I have the same problem with my laptop when running windows 7 but not linux....seems too me at least my problem is a driver issue.could be the damned for you too possibly. Was there a possible divert update on your phone?
I do not have an hd2 so I am not sure.
Edited for auto correct mistake

You check your phone radio revision the same way you check your rom version. Go to settings, about phone, software information and look for the line "radio version".
Your actual rom version is quiet old and if you are still using a stock rom then you may want to have a look at the htc website for your country and see if you can get 1.66 rom or newer.
I personally have never experienced this problem but i always use linksys or netgear networking equipment. The linksys router i have at home i've had for many years (it's a wrt54g v2.0) and it still works perfectly even though it's cpu and networking chipsets are overclocked and it runs a custom firmware.

Well, the ROM is the latest available for my country :-(
But anyway, I managed to solve it by deleted all my wireless preferences and just 'rediscovering' my home network from scratch. Surprisingly that worked and solved the problem, even on my old router.
Now I'm wondering if I should return the new one and stick to my trust good old one, or stick with the new one? It was pretty expensive, and I don't really use an N wireless connection anywhere anyway, so... What do you think, XDA?

You have no need for it, get your money back.

the hd2 is capable of N speeds. You just need to enable it in the registry. Personally i would use the old one till it dies and keep the newer one in a box till then but the choice is yours

The newer one is a lot of money I spent for something I didn't even need eventually. I'll be turning it back, I think.
Thanks to all who helped You guys rock!

great to hear that you've found a solution!
A thought came to mind while reading this thread.
Wonder if it's possible that a certain radio file/setting on your HD2 might've been corrupted and instead of generating the usual wifi signal, it could've generated a signal on the same frequency that completely jammed you're router signal?
Similar to the radio jammer units available in some countries that can be used for GSM, Wifi, etc... just a thought!

Im glad you brought this up because I had the exact same problem (accept I could connect via ethernet just wifi went dead), almost brought a new router after spending 2 days trying to set it up :/ It wouldnt allow anything to see the router wifi wise let alone connect to it via wifi. I havent turned my wifi on the phone since then but ill try reseting my settings later to see if that works. I didnt wanna risk screwing the router over lol. Im on stock 1.48 rom and radio on o2 as well

That's an interesting thought, and if it's true - reversing it could be a tool for evil - just imagine being able to shut down networks just like that...
Anyway, I'm glad my issue was solved. That Edimax N router is really expensive, and I like my trusty old 3Com way better.

[Q] rooted slide with no wifi

I am having some major issues with the wifi on my slide. When I have the rooted software installed. I have tried both the stock cynogen 6.0.0 rom and the teamfenix version but still cannot get the wifi to work on my home network. I haven't found any other roms to try though.
fyi:
Works fine on stock rom
home network is open with no mac filtering or anything like that.
I also have heard that flashing the radio might help but I thought that was separate from the wifi and the antenna works fine. I also have no issues with a data connection through the network.
Also if someone could recommend a way of transferring the phone program from the sense rom to the root rom that would be great. (I like the way it gives you the number it thinks you are about to dial, makes calls more fluid actions)
So... ideas?

A few: The latest known radio for the slide is 7.09.35.10. If you have that you don't need to reflash it. CM 6.0 has a known issue with the wifi that you can fix by turning on bluetooth. You don't have to have bluetooth connect to anything, just have it on. I don't know why that works but it does. Or you can flash the latest nightly for the slide. You can find it through ROM Manager, but you'll need the paid version to do that, which is totally worth it, or find it in the cyanogenmod forum. However, if you go ahead and flash the nightly, beware that things may or may not work (although the last several I've run have been damn stable) and DO NOT POST BUGS IN THE BUG TRACKER!
Also, on a side note, bluetooth in call audio does not work. Meaning you can not talk on the phone through bluetooth. Stereo bluetooth works great though, so you can listen to music no problem.

If on CM6: Menu>settings>about phone then look at the baseband version. It's the last set of numbers. If on stock ROM it's the same sequence except after you go into "about phone" you need to go into "software information".
Sent from my Rooted Slide

Where can I find the radio update? Can't find it on the HTC website or on here.
edit: actually - it seems to be working fine now for some screwed up reason. My roms seem to do that... if my phone is in a good mood when I do my nandroid restore, then it works even better than before (hey look that rymes). If not, then it says "F*** off and die, I'm not giving you internet you fascist SoB.". As you may understand my phone has major mood swings... I think it gets PMS.

The CM6 thread has a link to the latest radio I believe. Also, something that worked for me is under the WiFi Settings menu, press Menu > Advanced, and change Regulatory Channels to 14. I saw that posted in one of the CM65 threads and it worked for me.

I found something interesting out about my phone. Apparently those moods I talked about are just the wipe not working properly. If I wipe it 3-5 time beforehand everything seems to work better.
I can even get golden sun working on the gameboid which I had thought was too unstable to work (just that one game though not the whole program).

[Q] Unlocked HD2 Need Rom that connects with AT&T

Hello all I have a PROBLEM!
I have an unlocked HD2 using AT&T, my signal is extremely weak so my thoughts were to add an Android Rom in hopes to increase the signal but I have tried several NAND Roms:
RAFDROID
HYPERDROID CM7
NEXUSHD2 GINGERBREAD
HYPERDROID GBX
ARKAT DOUBLESENSE
REDUX V1.2
I am using the MAGLDR 113, installing using CWM 3.2. I am not sure which radio i have... perhaps that's the problem?
It would recognize the AT&T network and would say registering to AT&T but after 30 seconds or so it would say unable to connect at this time.
PLEASE help I am currently phoneless.
Thanks
PS it doesn't have to be android anything with a signal will work

Try this radio 2.15 its the newest one procedure is the same as installing magldr
1.make sure the phone is off
2 hold the volume button down and turn the phone on
3 connect your phone to your pc thru usb
4 flash the radio from your pc.
hope it helps
in the future post questions in Q and A section or you'll get flamed

Thanks for the link to the radio I appreciate it did not see to help the signal issue. In regards to improper posting that was an oversight on my part is there a way to delete it from here and post in the proper category?

it might just be your location...see if you get better signal elsewhere

Tapatalked u see

rom has nothing to do with the connection you're getting, if you have the latest radio(2.15.50.14) and the proper apn settings for att, then is definitely the service in your area. I have TMO and I get crap signal in my home with any and all roms, but once I'm outside I get good service, plus in data speed you'll only will get Edge/2G speed , but I'm sure you already knew that happens when using a TMO phone in ATT and vice versa .

I'm using my HD2 on AT&T and mine is working great. I'm running Rafdroid Desire HD Froyo. No signal problems at all.

Lets check whether your device is having a loose connection or not first. Put on your wifi, stand some feets away from the router and see if you can connect. If your having weak signal, stand near the router and check. If you still have a weak signal put on your bluetooth and see if you can discover any other bluetooth devices.
If you are having problem with these two connection as well, then my friend its time to open up your device and prepare for surgery.
Else, despite getting full wifi and bluetooth, if you are still having network problems, then place an aluminium foil on the back side of your device in full.
now see if you are having any improvement. These are just preliminary tests to check whether your device needs some serious disassembling.

I'm having the same problem, although I do get connections sometimes but then when i try to send a text or make a call it says network unavailable. I do have gprs data turned off on my phone's account with ATT. I messed with some settings in the phone options after dialing that *# thing and it worked but like i said after one text it just stoppped and when I go into network settings and click att it says registering and then after a few seconds it says unable to connect

After a few more hours of searching I found a way to get a much me stable connection. However, sometimes I lose signal but not like before, when I used to get a warning notification in the taskbar thing. What you have to do is go into the special phone settings by going to the dialer and typing *#*#4636#*#* where it says wcdma preferred you need to change it to GSM only and do a reboot and you should get much better signal.
