no Wifi (hardware problem)

(sory for my gramatic; English isn't my native language)
Hello
I have NBD 9.1. I installed demo spb Pocket Plus 4.0. After while I removed it. Now I can't turn on wifi connection. No, that I can't connect to my router, but I can't turn on Wifi in CommManager. Erlier I had the same problem with other app, but I simply soft reset Wizard and have Wifi. Now i reset 5 times and no effect
What shall I do? HR isn't good answer

also having this problemd with NBD
I've also experienced this problem with NBD. Can someone point us in the right direction?
re-iterate: WiFi in CommMgr hourglasses (beachballs?), but doesn't start up.

Check the NBD Rom launch thread from where you downloaded the Rom for a probable work around or a cab file installation

I had the problem of the wifi not turning on in comm mgr so I took out the battery and put in the frige a few minutes and put the battery back in and now it works. I have a tmobile mda and am running tnt wm 6.1 pro on it.

Is anyone else having problems with a sx-66 and wifi. I have upgraded to all three roms, tried radio rom 1.15 and 1.13 and still no luck. I can see the network and it attempts to connect and then drops. I am trying to connect to a linksys router and I am using wep. I have other PPC's wm5 and wm6 and they all connect no problems. It worked with the 2003se on it. Any ideas would be appreciated. I currently have the xplode rom (fixed version).

I also have a sx66 and i used to have the same problems on different roms. But ever since helmis wm6 rom i have gotten it to work. I am currently using pdaviets rom.
It could just be the rom compatibility.
Im not sure if this is useful but try turning on Wlan first. Then afterwards turn on wifi.

I tried Helmi's rom with no luck, but I think I will reflash it and try again. If I don't follow the procedure that you suggested it will not work at all (wifi won't turn on).
Thanks for the suggestions... I will see if going back to Helmi's works.
greg

hi...
actually i have a helmi's rom.
i had the same problem, but i had discovered that you should turn on the bluetooth first, then turn on the wifi.
be sure you have all programs closed, and if you still haven't do it, softreset the device and try again

wlan manager first after SR
I use Helmi's WM6 rom. Issue was there in WM5 rom too, mostly after soft reset.
Workaround:
after a soft reset I first connect WiFi via WLAN manager (it tries to connect but doesn't). Then I use the COM Manager (I installed the HTC Touch 2.0 from xplode, but previous/other version also OK) and I connect without problem.
Use workaround anytime when WiFi seems non responsive.
Cheers

Ok i will explain something about wifi problems
Our drivers have a lil bugs in wm5-6
Wifi startup procedure in WM6:
1.Turn on the wifi from wireless manager (start=>settings=>connections=>wireless lan)
2.It will turn on and automatically turn off (this is afrer soft reset and you must do it after every soft reset if you want to use wifi on/off trough comm manager. it will stay on only after first usage in a fresh rom)
3.Turn on the wifi trough comm manager
4.It will detect your network(try to connect to it so the newtwork settings to be applyed - encryption, channel, ssid and password) but it will not connect to it
4. turn off wifi and then turn it back on (this time it will detect your network and it will connect)
this procedure works for me every time
i use linksys wrt54gc router with WPA TKIP encryption, tryed this on other routers and AP's also and it work flawlessly

For me, the following 2 steps always work:
1) Turn on 'Wi-Fi' from CommMgr
2) Once inside CommMgr, click (settings;Wireless LAN) and select 'Turn on WLAN'
With these 2 steps, my Wifi ALWAYS turn on (even after soft reset).
Sometimes, step1 by itself turns it on.
I programmed CommMgr to be the bottom-right icon for (Contacts) on screen.
My bottom-left button is programmed for Tomtom6.

check out xplode's HTC WLAN Manager cab
I have just installed xplode's HTC WLAN Manager cab which solved all my WiFi issues. Have a look (and download the file) at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1668110#post1668110
Also post your findings, whether it worked for you etc.
(Is there a way to combine these 2 threads (admin?), they seem a duplication.)
Cheers,

I gave up on Helmi's ROM and thought I would try yours: I wonder if your method might work better on your ROM?? If it doesn't, I assume your solution might!
But I am having problems installing your ROM: I suspect my problem might be blindlingly obvious. Your installation utility sees the BA and correctly identifies my unit and the Helmi OS. I then try to upgrade and with nothing changing on the BA, the computer stops seeing the unit and fails every time with Error 101. Sometimes if I try again it fails with Error 150. Rebooting doesn't seem to help. When it fails, curiously the upgrade utility hangs on the screen and the upgrade panel (with no progress of course) stays transparent in the foreground. I am using Windows XP and the original radio ROM as i cant see how the Radio could affect how the computer sees the BA.
Or is the BA just a buggy unit and should I stick with my Wizard? (I kinda like the thinness and size of the screen on the BA and wonder if VoIP might work better on a 400 MHz unit than a 190 MHz one?). Or has anyone managed to get any of the Wizard WM6 ROMs working on the BA?

licensedtoquill if you want to trash your BA I will take it off your hands.
The Errors you are talking about are old ones, you need to read the Wiki, not what the software says on the screen, I think from memory it says something like, do a normal reset now... ignore that and put the device into Bootloader mode (USB or Serial) then run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe update again.
DO NOT FOLLOW STEP 1 at the following screen. DON'T DO IT!

Yes, I had noticed that one!

It's rather funny, isnt it? It is designed to send you round in circles while showing a completely different device so as to say "Told You So!" But I can't imagine any device which would take this instruction to stop upgrading and start all over again in the middle of the upgrade process???
I do seem to have completely cured my WiFi problems (perhaps slightly labouriosly) by following your instructions. But what is Xplode's .cab file for??? In any event, it doesn't install, preferring to give an 'unsuccessful' error message instead. I wonder if it is supposed to be in Xplode's ROM or if it will be incorporated into some ROM in the future?
What mystifies me is why the BA ROMs are so much smaller than the Wizard ones? That so much seemingly has to be left out of them, to be installed later with all the conflicts which seem to ensue when you do this.
In any event, I am not about to junk my BA as I do prefer it to the Wizard at the moment for the screen size alone. You really can press an icon with a finger if necessary where on the Wizard, you invariably get the wrong one pressed.

Hi,
Ive exactly the same problem as you. It keeps trying to connect but without any success. It shows Wi-Fi: Connecting and after that Wi-Fi: Available/Unavailable, but not Connected. Every time it fails, damn !

keep wifi running in powersave/screenoff?

Hello, is there a way to keep wifi on while device is sleeping?
i use active sync over wifi and i dont receive new mail notifications while screen is in powersave.
i use wm 6.1 coocked. i have seen this behaviour in all roms tried. even original wm5.
tia

Schaps's Advanced Configuration Tool (last versions) in: Menu->Connection settings. I used this once, but battery was dead in short time.

Thanks 4 the info, found it!
However, wifi is still halting when device enter stanby.
I doublechecked settings.
The device got extremly slugish when option is true.
tried reflashing 2 wm6.1 roms but they behaved the same way.
Did i miss something ?

Bluetooth: Not being able to pair / connect

Hey guys,
I have searched for this problem on the forum but I can't find a solution. The problem I have is that my Bluetooth is not working like I would like it to:
When trying to connect from my TD2 to my pc (xp) / laptop (vista) I get the message:
Cannot connect
Your device hasn't been able to connect with 'pc-name'. De connection failed or the password is incorrect.
(I get it in dutch... so if my translation isn't the same as in the english version you know about it).
When using the pc / laptop to connect to the TD2 I get a screen where I can choose between two bluetooth services:
- Dial-up Connection
- Network Access Point
... These are the only two. When I use my old phone I can also use a Serial port connection (and even a few more).
The purpose of the bluetooth connection is to be able to synchronize my contacts with my Microsoft Outlook 2007.
Can someone please help me with this problem? I have already tried a few things, like soft- and hard reset. Updated the ROM, etc. But it is still not working. The only thing which DOES work is connecting the TD2 to my radio in my car...
Thanks in advance

Hi robje,
Ive got same problem with you.. but i managed to solve it ..try enable receive all incoming beams.. u can find it at all settings --> connections --> beam --> then check " receive all incoming beams"... good luck.....

Thanks for the quick help!
I already enabled this setting, but I still have these problems...

I've got exactly the same problem with my bluetooth,are you still using the stock ROM? I've currently got energyrom's standard2.5 installed so I thought that it maybe WinMob 6.5... My wife's phone is fine and she's using the stock ROM. I'm going to go back to HTC's stock ROM, so I'll give you another update after I've done this...
One note to add.. I've seen that on my older Diamond, the bluetooth COM ports menu shows "New outgoing port", whereas my new Diamond2 shows nothing on the same menu...

Update... I've flashed my Diamond2 back to the original HTC ROM and bluetooth is now working correctly. So it looks as though the problem is probably with WinMob 6.5...
Can anyone confirm this at all???

I think I am just using the Stock ROM (as I haven't installed any other). I am also using WM 6.1... as 6.5 is not yet available for the TD2 (if I am correct)...

The retail version isn't but a lot of the ROMs on here have been done with beta versions of 6.5 (mines on build 23016)...
Anyway,I've flashed back to my cooked ROM and bluetooth still isn't working correctly. I've been messing around with the "advanced configuration tool" and found that OBEX was disabled. However once I turned this on, it still wouldn't work correctly...

Yeah I also found the OBEX using Advanced Config. But that didn't seem to matter... I hope anyone knows a solution for this, because it's really annoying! I have contacted the HTC Helpdesk... but didn't get much help. After giving all details about the problem they send me a manual of how to turn on the bluetooth radio on a mobile device :|...

Have you tried reflashing with the latest update from the HTC website?

This problem is getting weirder... I've now found that I can send files from my TD2, it's just the recieving of them that won't work. So I think it must be a possible compatibility issue between WinMob 6.5 & the older version on my TD...

Has anyone got an idea to solve this problem...?

No intention of being a smartass though...
Have you checked the box "visible"?

Hey Magnus,
I do have checked that box and it's visible. I have done all there can be done (the easy way) on the TD2, but all settings are correct. I can also see a list of available bluetooth services on the phone, which also describes the one I need. But when I then try to connect my pc with my phone, I can only choose on my pc between:
- Dial-up Connection
- Network Access Point
Only those 2... when there are much more available according to the list on the phone...

Have you tried to connect to your "old phone" as you mentioned?

Need help enabling tethering

Hey everyone! I've been using NFSFAN's Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM on my HTC Touch for quite some time now. I want to use the built in tethering function. The problem is that in the Internet Sharing menu, I can't touch/select the 'Connect' button for neither the USB nor the Bluetooth connection. I think it was working before I installed Bell's Carrier cab.
Do you know any registry tweeks, or software that can help?
EDIT: Now I'm using IntrShrUI, but after a couple of seconds, the device connects in Disk Drive mode How can I disable that?

Have you made sure the screen doesn't time-out?
This was one of my favourite features.
