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)

hi could someone plse help i installed wm6 on my ameo the t mobile friendly rom but now i cant get a fix on my wifi ive got a belkin n1 router i know thats working because my universal works fine. i also tried pocket hack master to try and slow down the cpu on the ameo becase i found it in another forum but still could not get it to work. any suggestions plse .thanks in advance
Does the WiFi light flash when you switch WiFi on?
Do you have the latest radio rom (1.45.00)?
Can you ad-hoc WiFi between your Athena and Universal?
Have you tried looking for updated firmware for your Belkin?
The only reason I ask, is because I couldn't connect to my WiFi network either but my Universal could too. Did all of the above and it works fine now
hey yoor right the wifi light isnt flashing wat to do. pleasse post have to go will try wen i get back thanks
The first thing I would do is flash the radio Rom to 1.45.00.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319993&highlight=radio
still not working
hi tried everything you guys suggested but no luck also tried flasing all the roms i could find with no luck can somone post me a link please who has a t mobile ameo of the rom they are using and wifi is working properly.thanks in advance
If you have re-flashed the Radio rom and WiFi still doesn't work, I would say your device is faulty. Send it back for repair.
if this is the case anybody know where i can get the t mobile rom from for waranty.thanks

Hi
I use Belkin and and PK3.0 wm6 with WPA-TSK security enabled Wi-Fi connection to my athena no problem. You may have set up 54g connection only enabled in the router settings.
on the device start>> settings>> connections>>Wi-FI>>network Adapters then select IEEE 802........ and Select "The internet". Then press ok and reset the device
Belkin routers sometimes don't connect to the devices if you select higher security in wireless settings in the router. Therefore check the router's wireless settings.
set the device settings as above then Try modify settings in the router's wireless security settings. then save and restart the router and try connecting to the device.
I hope this will help you to connect to the Wi-fi internet. good luck
I dont know if this will help, but I have trouble connecting to my netgear router at home. It connects, but then shortly after, although still connected, loses its connectivity to the internet. To fix it, I have to turn off the power save mode to the wifi card and have the slidy bar to maximum performance to keep a connection
My preferred setup for WIFI
First and foremost, do a hard reset on the router by holding in the reset hole at the back for a few seconds until the lights blink.
Make sure security is OFF on the router and try to connect to it with your Ameo. If it works then yeehaa.....
The best setup I have at the moment with my router is with security DISABLED (believe it or not).
I then log into the router on my main pc and add a MAC FILTER list (i.e. the MAC addresses of the devices I wish to be allowed to connect to my router)
People may see a security-free router but they will NOT be able to connect unless their MAC address is on my router's list.

Errr - if they want to, yes they will. All they need do is scan the network for an active MAC address and then spoof their own MAC address to one already active on the network. OK, it's unlikely anyone would go that far but I would much rather simply use the security!
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 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...
Hi,
so kernel sources are released. Is there any fix for hero's wifi problems? I mean dropping connection to AP. It is so annoying, I tried to do everything: change channel, mode, encryption... Nothing helped. It is Linksys wrt160nl. The same applies to other networks (some public hot spots).
I never had this problem with my Linksys WRT54GL...

Could you paste your wifi settings? (mode, encryption mode, channel)
Using the Modaco custom ROM 2.8 (never had problems with modaco ROM and generic)
Router: Linksys WRT54GL running Tomato 1.25 firmware
Wireless Mode: Access Point
B/G Mode: Mixed
Channel: 1 - 2.412 Ghz (try a free one)
Security: WPA / WPA2 Personal
Encryption: AES
Group Key Renewal: 3600 seconds
No Mac Filter
Under Advanced Settings I changed "Transmit Power" to 251mW for a better signal, the rest are default values.
Try to update your router firmware
Are you alone with this problem?
greetz
In case you haven't done so yet. Check out the Wifi Sleep Policy (access by pressing menu when you are in wifi menu). Normally the Wifi is turned off then the screen is turned off which can cause problem.
Similar problem with netgear wnr2000

Hi got similar problem with my router netgear wnr2000.what i found funny is that when i reset the router, the phone connects perfectly to the router, but after abt 24hrs or so, it fails to connect.even if i reboot my phone, or reset the connection on phone.fails to connect.it will only connect when i reboot the router. i will try the 'aes' encryption n see if that helps.will update if it works
Thanks for your replies. Please could other members share their experiences, used options and solutions. This issue is too common to simply forget it. I am trying to find some kind of pattern or special options, it requires.
i dont have a problem with wifi apart from the wont find or connect to n-range device other wise i use wifi all the time it never drops, on stock orange uk firmware
I have a Sitecom WL-173 router.
I cannot connect at all. I can, but only with no or WEP security. That is no option for me.
When I use WPA or WPA2 my Hero does view my network, but does not connect.
I called HTC about this problem. He told me that they do not support all routers. He could not tell me which they support and which not.

I also have the same problem. The way to solve it is to change the above setting to 'G' only. Not mixed/Hybrid.

I have not had any problems trying to connect to WiFi networks, until i went over to my mates place where he has the Virgin 50MB B-Band and also a D-Link wifi-N router, and my Hero could no see the network at all, even though his iPhone connected straight away.

I'm sorry, it hurt even more when i was sitting there pissed off that my Hero wouldnt connect to the Wifi!!!
I have Virgin 50meg at home no problem at all, went to my GF's who has basic Virgin cable 10meg on netgear G and would not connect at all.
No idea why, as it should be all fine!
I have the same problem. It is so ****in annoying. My router is a Linksys WRT54G with Tomato firmware v1.25. Router is in "G only mode", WPA-2 PSK-AES security, I've set a static local IP for the phone, the phone's wireless is set to always ON... I basically tried everything I could think of. Ended up rooting the phone and installing Modaco 2.9... but didn't change anything. The only way I can get it work again when it drops is shut the Wi-Fi off then on...
Worst of all this is the problem seems widespread (but not universal)... What the **** does HTC think putting a ****in smartphone on the market with defective Wi-Fi... This is non-sense.
I really hope someone comes up with a fix or HTC updates this... otherwise we might want to start thinkin bout class action.

Is it a router setup or a Hero setting?
Pleaes explain if it's one of the options
probs here too ...
Linksys WAP54G v3.1
vs
HTC Hero
was working perfectly for first month or so, but has been getting worse and worse. ie, for a few weeks it would see the wifi but would usually fail to connect. now I'm lucky if it can see it at all!
have reflashed the wap with dd-wrt and experimented with a lot of settings. no diff.
have reflashed the hero with hero21 comunitry v1.6. no diff. (and also latest radio)
it just starts and stops when it feels like it.
oh, and my eeepc works fine on the same wifi, so I know it's not some wap screw up.
tried every tip I can find like 'use mixed mode' or 'g only', etc etc.
I am starting to think it's a hardware fault?
Same problem
Siemens Gigaset Tiscali modem with wpa psk2 tkip and T-mobile hero rom.
Sees the modem and connects with security first time but then says 'remembered out of range' on wifi settings but interestingly in wifi buddy it constantly has the syncing symbol next to the network.
Really annoying.
I've tried WEP and security off, wireless g only etc etc.
I have problems too but seems different to yours... but who knows : in fact i can't connect to wifi when the SSID is masked. Even if - or course - i put manuualy the ssid before with the good wep key. It happens on a livebox ( orange box )... but if i press the button to show the wifi network - it has to be made when you connect a device for the first time on this box - then it connects to the network... else it tells me that the network is out of range...
So does the wifi on hero has problem with masked SSID ? To compare i never had this problem - on the same box - with the touch diamond and the touch hd... and at home, not masking the ssid, the connection is ok without doing anything.
Ciao

I had the same problem with a Zyxel 660 router. I was able to connect to the wifi (WPA/PSK enable) but there was no data transfer possible.
So I updated the Radio ROM to the 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29 version and it solved the problem.
Hallo everyone,
on Friday I bought a new Folio 100. Unfortunately it seems that the Wi-Fi doesn't work: the tablet connects itself only after I turn off and on my wireless routing.
If I disconnect the tablet (or the connection is lost) and then I try to connect it again, I have no chances The Wi-Fi connection cannot be established. Same if I turn on the Folio and try to connect it without a previous off-on of the router.
I have a WEP 64 Bit encryption. I tried to change it to WPA-TSK but the problem remain the same. I tried to connect to my Galaxy S using WPS2-PSK no way. The folio connects itself only after a restart of the router or with not protected nets.
I tried to install the Dexter mod 1.3a, with no results. Now I have the original FW 2.2.5.0053 back on (and the problem remains).
There is something I do wrong or I can still try or the tablet is definitely defective?
Please help me!
Thanks a lot in advance!!
Paolo
I had a similar problem: my WiFi network was seen as out of range by the tablet WiFi manager. And whenever I put the Folio in sleep mode, it lost the connection.
So, I changed the WiFi policy (in WiFi advanced settings: press menu button when on the WiFi configuration page, and choose advanced settings) to never turn off.
The tablet still has some difficulties to catch the network at startup (usually, I have to wait like 2 minutes), but now it keeps it.
Hope it helps...
Hello SinDeus,
thanks a lot for your advice, I've already tried this setting, but in my bedroom I've a bad signal and from time to time the connection get lost... and you can understand that it is really annoying to stand uphalf asleep to reset the modem. )
Anyway for the moment I've solved the problem exchanging my Belkin modem with a Zyxel of a friend of mine. The connection process is still quite slow, but at least it works without requiring a router restart.
Bye Paolo.
mine still not working...keeps on connecting/disconnecting......giving up soon...btw am using foliomod 1.3...even before when am using the stock rom..its so freaking hard to connect to my belkin router...only a few times tht i successfully get connected...help please!!!!
Hallo Neworder,
I had to exchange my router, the only way I was able to conect with belkin was restarting it.
I've also tried with static IP adress and changing the encoding type (WEP, WAP-TSK etc.) but the results was always the same. Even with the new modem the process isn't that smooth!
Quite annoying.
Sorry that I can't help you further.
the thing is if am connecting the folio to wifi connections in cafes/shops/eateries,no problem...fast and painless.
time to change modem router?
btw pademat which model of belkin u r using?am using a belkin 54g.
and ur new modem?zyxel which model?
