Not sure if this problem is specific to me or not. Since upgrading to the standard SE 2.20 (no modofications or updates) I've experienced problems with GPRS.
Most of the time I can connect no problems, and the every now and then my XDA II tries and tries to connect but eventually fails. It's not due to the network strength or location, as I've experienced the problem whilst on a 3 hr drive using TomTom Traffic.
The only way of resolving the problem is either a soft reboot or switching the radio off and on again.
Any ideas, is it worth reflashing the radio back to an older version?

I'm having problems with my Wifi stop working after a minute or so even though it says it's connected.
I updated my Radio to 1.5 and back to 1.48 a few days ago and now I'm having problems with Wifi. I've done hard reset and factory reset on the router and still have the same problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Nope. Try using Wififofum to see if anyone in the area is using the same Wifi channel maybe. Otherwise try going to a wifi hotspot and see if your device can stay connected to that. Or resetting some of the power settings on your device, since if the wifi detects the device as 'off', it disables itself. just a few early morning ideas
thanks for the reply.
My wifi works perfectly fine at home, all my computers laptops stay connected.
The phone connects no problem, and shows it as connected all the time. But after a minute or so where its working normally and I am able to open web pages, all of a sudden pages cannot be loaded and I lose msn connection, but the wifi icon still says I'm connect, so does the wifi manager with excellent signal strength
I've just tried re-installing the original HTC WM6 Rom and tested the wifi with nothing installed on the phone (only sync'ed it) and still get the same problem.
Has anyone experienced this or anything similar?
You've got to consider that your laptop incorporates a much better antenna than your Hermes. So if you've got a low but still stable connection with your laptop your Hermes might not even see it. If you've got a medium connection with your laptop you might have an unstable connection with your Hermes.
The above is based on my own experience.
Even if I sit 2 metres away from my wifi router with full wifi signal strength on the phone the same thing happens.
wish u luck!
have you tried turning the wifi power saving to zero power saving mode, ie best performance, I find that with wifi in power saving modes its very irratic
don't know what I done, but its all working fine again now. Think it might have been the power settings on the phone
Radio 1.54.07
Yes it seems the radio does affet thw wifi and Bluetooth... have problems with both now. so going back to 1.50 it seems to be the most stabale of the new radios
THE RADIO HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WIFI PERIOD END OF STORY! the Wifi drivers and such are in the Os.nb or ROM file not the radio file!

Ok so they are, changing the Radio is still affecting how they both work.. tried it few with diff roms and 1.54.07 radio with the same results. bluetooth and WiFi act erratic in all cases when 1.54.07 radio is installed yet with 1.50.00 works fine.. no problems
I Have JASJAM (Herm100)
When I Turn on, after Soft Reset/shut down, (Even hard reset), when I try to use wifi, here's whats happens:
1) It finds all networks around (status:Available),
2) It tries to connect to network, by asking me for (un)secured connection confirmation... (Status:connecting)
3) From 'connecting' status it becomes to 'Available' (instead of 'connected')*
4) After 2-3 retries of different networks(step2), all networks become 'Unavailable' and It cannot connect to any network anymore. and its not finds any new network until next soft reset.
* sometimes it establish connection and I can surf the net, very slow, but it hold it for less than one minute.
* Signal strength does not a parameter, battery is 100%, and network is set to Best Performance.
* I Have no problems to turn it on/off with the comm-manager.
* I'm not sure when Exactly it happened, but I Suspect that it happened around the time that I've upgrade to 1.54.00.10 radio, but since I've read that it does not affect on Wifi, I suppose it's not related.
Any suggestions ?
I use Schap's 4.30 should I Change to other ?
Thanks
I've found the cause, now searching for fix
I've changed to CRC 9.2 Rom..
(The schaps looks better to me...)
Same symptoms.
After few hours of trying, I've found the cause for this problem...
It happens when the wlan is set to 802.11g or 802.11b/g or 'mixed mode'
It can connect to 802.11b only, with no problems.
That means that I Cannot connect to most wlan I can find.
Please note that the schaps and crc roms already has the 802.11g tweak.
If there is a solution to connect to 802.11g or mixed, please let me know...
I'll search for solution, if I'll find one, I'll post it here.
Exactly the same problem!!!
Hi,
I use Schap's ROM 4.31 and Radio 1.38.00.10
I have at my homenetwork new Belkin N wireless router (working in b/g mode), every device connect without ANY problem, notebook, even another PDA (Asus), but TYTN does not. I tried every possible setting...
I will be REALLY VERY HAPPY if someone find solution...
Otherwise this is the main reason, why I will buy another PDA (Xperia)
I was trying several WM6 and 6.1 ROMs around on my Atom (original), and now my Wi-Fi doesn't work anymore.
I first tried Sonblack's first WM6.1 firmware, that one worked, then later I tried Kumara 6.0 and 6.1, after putting my SIM card in for the first time, Wi-Fi stopped working. I can search for access points, but can't connect to any. I tried downgrading the firmware back to the official O2 WM5 Chinese firmware which the device came with, upgrading to Sonblack's later versions, (20273v2), neither seem to fix the problem. I did a search on the forum, tried the registry DWORD value change, also tried turning on and off the radio, doesn't work either.
Anyone know what is going on?
Thanks.
I just did another test, and it seems to prove that the Wi-Fi hardware is working. I downgraded my unit to the official WM5 English ROM, then configured the device to connect to an ad-hoc network with my laptop. That one worked fine, using the randomly generated IP address. The two devices pinged each other and can see each other just fine.
So that leaves with the question, why can't my Atom connect to access points? The symptom looks like it's a bad key or something, but I tried entering it a few times and it isn't. I even tried disabling the security, still no go.
Finally got it working, but in a not so nice way.
I had to go to my router, and disable Wireless G support. Once I switch my router to B-only, it works just fine. However, I do recall that I didn't have to do this in the past, and it would be pretty useless since I can't configure other people's routers. And I do recall using the device on several G networks and it worked fine there and the speed would fall to B speeds.
Anyone know how can I get it back to it connects to G networks as well?
Hey, you could try this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=266604
In fact, please do - the thread suggests the atom may have an 802.11g chipset clocked down to 802.11b speeds. "b" wifi is what is stopping me getting an atom.
Actually after I flick my router to B-Only, I got it connecting, and switched it back to Mixed-G and it still worked. So I guess it was one of the ROMs that had a flaky driver and caused the wireless to act like this.
And no, I tried the conversion, didn't do a thing. Still connects as B, so it's a hardware thing.
In Feb2008 I bought O2 Atom Life with WM5. Played with 2/3 different Wireless Routers successfully with no issue. Next day I upgraded to official WM6 Rom on O2 support site. Now WIFI works with one Router with no issue but as soon as I try to get another router, I get problem of no connect.
After playing with it a lot I found following solution. I go to WIFI Settings and manually enter DNS IP in Wireless Cards Setup. That is 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.2.1 which is router's DNS IP. No other change required, even keep "Use server settings" (auto) in Card's main IP Address.
See following solution carefully.....
Start Menu >>> Settings >>> Connection Tab >>> Wifi >>> O2 Wifi 892b/g Wireless Adaptor >>> Nameserver TAB >>> Enter DNS as 192.168.1.1 or whatever your router's IP is. >>> CLICK OK. Now your WM6 finds new wireless router in area to connect.
Even sometimes deleting the IP in DNS Settings and leaving it blank (auto) also connects to WIFI with no issue. May be I am not having proper solution but trust me 802.11g or 802.11b or whatever type router is, it surely connects and I am using this way since many many months...
Hope this helps... please inform if this helps...
I notised that somethimes when I turn on the wifi function of the HD2 WM65 unit, there's quite a long delay in negotiating my residence internet connection via Wifi.
As it's only 2 meters away, it should be immediate. The observation is that I turn on the HD2 WLan function, as it polls the air, negotiates, the Motorola analog vDSL router (Netopia 7347) restarts itself. Same as if I do a HTTP connect from workstation and a software restart from the admin panel. (!)
Ok, I have a freshened ISP connection in time for my HD2 web connect but it does take also 60sec to get that new connection and kill any file transfers I may have going on my PC.
Has anyone else heard of this? I haven't gone to any Netopia or Motorola forums but as the HD2 is what initiates it, I thought I would start here.
I upgraded my radio rom some months back to "Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14"
using WM65, the boot screen gives:
R 2.15.50.14
G 15.42.50.11U
D 1.66.76641
thanks in advance,

still occurs, any fix?
I had absolutely *no* issues with the cellular network whatsoever until yesterday noon, that's when the problems started, all of a sudden.
I started experiencing disconnections from the 3G network intermittently, like every 5-10 seconds it would disconnect and reconnect, extremely unstable. I then put the phone in 2G mode, but I lost my EDGE data connection despite the APN's configured properly. I even called up the provider and had them deliver the APN settings to the phone, but to no avail. My data connection just didn't work, i.e. no 'E' symbol, nada,
Thinking it might be something to do with the ROM, I restored my 2.1 backup via xRecovery, but experienced the exact same issues. Extremely unstable 3G with it's intermittent disconnects etc and NO data connection when it 2G mode. In the 'About Phone' status, it just shows 'Unknown' as the mobile connection type and 'disconnected' in the connection state.
I even went ahead clean flashed the 2.1 .435 ftf via flashtool, but the same issues persist!
What do you think the problem could be? I triple checked with my operator and they say the data services are active on my number, no problem from their end.
Could it be a hardware issue? I unfortunately don't have another SIM I can test with - that said I greatly doubt it could be a hardware issue.
What do you think?
I'm on Wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3 v4.4
Could be a network issue. Do you have this problem at a different place. May be in a different cell. There's always issues initially after deployment of new 3g deployment.
There is rarely a problem with only the data part. As all the protocol stack are not changed or fiddled in these new rom.
So less chance of the rom.

Yeah probably a network issue due to the super important india-pakistan semi final.
