Anyone having/had this issue before? The wireless switch is off but somehow the wireless randomly goes on.
I'm on DCd 3.2.6 and I have WiFiRouter installed, not sure if its cauing this.
Not randomly but after soft resets I get them pretty much every other time.
Yeah I noticed same here, why?
yeah it has to do with wifirouter i just installed it to see what would happen and it does the same thing after every soft reset.
I have the same problem....
I installed WiFiRouter with my last version of DCD 3.2.5. I don't have it with 3.2.6 and I get the same wifi enabled afte soft resets.

If someone finds a key that turns it off and on I will make a cab that fixes it.

Must be WiFiRouter as I uninstalled it and no more WiFi after soft reset. Can some one look at the registry settings from it and see what might be the culprit?
I think it only happens after a software reset after having used it only.
Can anyone else confirm?

Not for me. It turns on for me about every other soft-reset, regardless of whether I've used WIFIrouter. Not a huge problem though. I just flip the switch on, then off, and the wifi turns off and stays off (until the next soft-reset, of course).
I get something similar, the WiFi icon in the title bar will "appear" to connect to something but never does. The slide button on the Titan is in the off position and WiFi is off in Comm Manager. Wifi will not connect to my home WiFi network unless I turn on both the slide switch and turn on WiFi in comm manager, then it will connect. Also the WiFi led will not blink, unless I "really" have it turned on.
So I have just learned to ignore the icon, but I will randomly check to ensure that everything is turned off.

not the solution that i expect. will have to uninstall wifirouter and only install it when needed... *sigh*
I experience the same issue on occasion, and I have never installed wifirouter.
same..
same problem, 3.2.6 and Wifi Router, i think its messing with us. the Wifi doesn't seem to be "switched" on. so i guess you can ignore it.

This is a known bug with WMWiFiRouter and out Titans.

Since I upped my radio to 1.4 I have had a problem with my WiFi not enabling. I am using ROMS cooked up in DCD's Kitchen 1.6.9 and 1.6.10 and am using the 10 Button Kaiser style CommManager. When I turn WiFi on it turns back off within a second or two. I am having the same problem in either ROM and I just re-flashed the Stock 2.09 Verizon ROM back in and although there is no WiFi button on the CommManager the WiFi status is saying off when I look at the advanced tab of the Wireless LAN settings.
I am reasonably sure this started when I went to Radio 1.4 as WiFi used to work for me. I have also gone up to and back down from the 2.13 radio and that does not seem to affect the issue. This confuses me because I read other threads where folks talk about WiFi in both of these radio versions.
Has anyone else seen symptoms such as this?
Thanks,
Ks.
have u tried soft set or hard set or updating the radio ?
Yep, the only radio I have not tried is 1.47 but others aparently have WiFi working with 1.4 and 2.13. I am thinking there must be something else, perhaps in the extROM, that is causing me problems since this problem seems to transcend Kitchen versions and the stadard VZW ROM.
Thanks,
Ks.
No prob.....
Are you sure the WiFi slide switch on the side is turned on? I am not able to ever use a software switch to enable/disable WiFi

Oh boy
Thank you for pointing out the obvious to me and the symptoms certainly fit that diagnosis. As an ex-6700 user I absolutely forgot about that dang switch. All is working again.
I hate doing stupid things.

I learn from experience like everyone. I came from the i730 and I still catch myself using a PhoneAlarm button on the today screen.
My WLAN will not start up. When is comm manager, click the icon, it goes blue for a half second and then goes back to grey with the x. Should I install the radio again?

Did you slide the WIFI button to the on position?
I have been unable to use wifi since the new radio
Yeah, I'm a dumb ass! I got the phone yesterday as an Asurion replacement for my XV6700 and installed this ROM first thing. Saw the switch after I wrote the post.
Well it's nice to know I'm not the only one with the wifi issue. It's really strange. After a hard reset or flashing my ROM, I have to have the wifi find my network when Windows starts before I install anything. If I start installing stuff and come back to the wifi later, it won't work. Just a annoying mental glitch I gotta tell myself when I hard reset that the wifi needs to be setup first. At least I know it isn't my phone acting flaky and just some weird glitch.

I got mine working I think it was because I dropped it, I have to press in and over to make it stay on. ( Guess I will need a new one)
I know this is not supposed to be able to happen, but on two occasions today and since upgrading to new radio and DCD 3.0 my wifi has turned on and detected networks with the wifi switch set to off, not sure why this is happening and I can not duplicate it on demand, trying to turn on wifi with the switch of via comm manager still does not work. Trying to find some kind of pattern but it has only happened twice.
Perhaps with the new radio there is a way to turn it on and off via software, or perhaps my switch is malfuntioning.
I had a similar experience as well.
I noticed it when I soft reset (not all the time, but 1/10 maybe?) and when trying to activesync, it would sometimes turn on.
I wish there was a way to figure it out, this means that it should be possible turn on wifi via software doesn't it?
Now that you mention it one of the times it came on was right after a soft reset.
Yep, this is becoming a well known problem.....well, for me not a big problem, just a slight annoyance....in the new ROM/Radio. It must have something to do with the radio, because I never experienced this in any other ROM. I'm wondering if WLAN may be turning on when there are short lapses in carrier coverage, and when an app (like activesync....I sync my e-mail using outlook)is trying to be connected to data (the internet). I just turn it back off when it turns on by itself. It doesn't ever seem to turn OFF by itself when I'm actually using WLAN.
EDIT:
one thing that may support my theory is that when you do a soft reset, it takes a bit to connect to the carrier network, and this just happens to be one of the times that WLAN turns itself back on..
And yeah, the battery usage definately sucks....plus when WLAN is turned on, and you're not connected to an access point, you could have data throughput issues as it keeps trying to see if it can connect through WLAN and/or radio......
I need it fixed , I didn't catch it earlier and my battery lost 85% today wihtout me even using my phone. Normally I get 2 full days I haven't really used my phone today and was fully charged this morning now I am at 15%, very poor performance for my typical use.
I am running dcd's 3.0.1 on my XV6800 and noticed that the wifi will turn on with the switch in the off position. It has happened to me a half dozen times or so. It only does it while I am on a call. Any suggestions? Has a solution been found yet? Any help is appreciated!
Same here, but has only happened a of of times.

It only appears to happen while in a call for me as well...it happened with no additional software installed at that point so I'm certain it has something to do with the rom itself...I'm guessing the new radio but who knows for sure...
shame here
i know what it is guy its wifirouter setting changes it makes all phones with this app will have the same deal!

And I hvae never had the problem. (and I do run wmwifirouter)
i saw this when the kitchen first came out as well. i also saw that it wanted to connect to a roaming alot more than it should as well.
sprint will tell you to set you phone roaming settings to "sprint only" the phones and ROMs come with "automatic" enabled.
my sprint buddy told me long ago to change this from auto to sprint only. soft reset. let it conect to a good sprint connection. then switch back to "auto" and soft reset.
i haven't did this for a year or so, but when i started seeing the roaming icon after many of the soft resets i thought about it. since i did this i haven't seen the roaming nor the wifi bug.
i think it is the theory that when you softreset the phone set on auto looks for the first tower, which could be a roaming tower. this takes a little too long to conect. in this longer than normal connection time when something like activesync wants to connect and has no internet connection it will enable wifi to connect if it has to.
i have noticed in the past with other ROM's as well that if your phone is in flight mode and you soft reset. as soon as activesync tries to connect and cant it will turn on wifi.
try this. turn on flight mode. soft reset. open active sync and hit sync. you'll see.
so for the record... this is not a dcd bug, but rather a windows mobile bug. wm 5 and 6. the best fix is to set it to sprint only or do the trick i stated above.
Are any of you running the HTC Home Plugin with the weather patch?
Because I installed it on my XV6800 and on a soft reset the WiFi was acting wacky. As if it was looking for a signal.
All I did to correct this issue was to disable automatic roam / download of the weather.
Well what I noticed so far is this, mostly happens after a soft reset, but sometimes it does it at random. Only happens when I have DCD 3.0.1, I am not seeing it with any other custom rom and I think I have tried them all. I have not had any roaming icons or the like and with telus customizations on you have two options for network, there is standard and automatic.
The only reason I hold on to it being dcd 3.0.1 is that no other version 3.35rom I've installed has done it, the ones I have installed off the top of my head are the stock sprint rom, DCD 3.0, 3.0.1, no2chem 5053, and two others that I can't remember as well as my own stripped down version of the stock sprint rom.

Did you have this issue with your Stock ROM?
I only ran the stock 3.35 rom for about a day but I seem to recall it happened then as well. I didn't think it was necessarily DCD's rom but was an issue with the new radio. I'll try the steps cody recommended and see if that does the trick.

Nor have I.
I just switched to sprint only, and after a soft reset, the wifi did not turn on as usual.

No I did not, however I also did not have it on there very long. I flash often, and I am constantly tweaking, "My name is jjlwork have a flashing problem" lo
Interestingly enough I am able to reproduce by following cody's instructions with the flight mode -> soft reset -> activesync
hi, ive been searching the threads for days, and cant figure out why the gps never pickes up a signal. i have an xv6800 verizon. dcd 3.2.3 rom, radio 3.42.30 garmin mobile xt, and tried tomom 7 (both installed fine). installed the carrier cab, and gps fix, and used the gps on off app, also i have the location setting to on and not 911 only what else can i do.
thanks in advance

I would get a program that shows the NMEA messages like GeoScout and see if you are even getting anything. Could be your GPS chip is hosed. Good luck sending that back in if it didn't come with it turned on like from Verizon. If you are in a clear space and you have reset the phone and you get no NMEA messages then I would think that either you have a bad flash and to start over or your GPS chip is bad.
Mine was acting similar which was every frustrating. SO tonight I flashed the new radio 3.42.50 and it did not help. I then reflashed DCD 3.2.5 and my GPS magically started to work again. I now lock 4 satellites from inside my house in about 15 seconds. The only bad thing is it shows my location in Gmap and Live about 10 blocks off. If I do a soft reset it has the correct location. If I exit maps and relaunch it is off 10 blocks or so again. No big deal really, I'm just happy it's working again.

Try using this GPS Tool.... When starting it up, click on the Clear Memory, then open the port. click on Nav Init..... This should help ya....

I've only owned my Omate Truesmart for one day and the WiFi decided to give it up. I turned the wifi off once today and as soon as I tried to turn the WiFi back on it would not work. Whenever I touch the button to activate WiFi it lights up blue for a second and it then stops. Tried it several times today and nothing different. When I try to get into the wifi settings from the "Wireless & Networks" I'm greeted by a blank screen too.
So far I'm considering if it's a software issue I might try to return it to the stock firmware with this guide. However I'm waiting until I get some input from other people. I don't have cellular data access because I don't have a sim card in it. Any help is appreciated.
So what not stock firmware are you running? BTW both BT and wifi hang on stock firmware. You need to disable quickboot and reboot.
Question. What is wrong with my flashing guide so I can fix it.
Oh nothing wrong with the guide. I haven't used it yet. I'm on the stock firmware. How do I disable the quickboot?
Settings/System/Accessability, it;s the last option.

I got my Omate today and am having trouble with Wifi. If I turn wifi on it crashes the phone and cuaes it to completely power off. It will run for as long as I like with airplane mode on and will not crash if I turn bluetooth on. I found this suggestion and turned quickboot off and rebooted. Still the same behavior with wifi. Has anyone else reported this? Any suggestions?
I'm running firmware 20140120
I have a weak wifi signal on my Omate. Unless I'm right next to the router I can't pick up a wifi signal with the watch. Is there anything that I can do about this?
Sounds like the wifi antenna connector came lose. Contact Omate and get it replaced. The only other option is to disassemble it and reseat the connector.
