Wifi problemo help! - Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development

Hey dudes and Masta Developas! I'm having a WIFI problem with my Titan or Sprint Mogul PPC-6800. ROM: Default Sprint 3.56, Ok so WIFI used to work for me until this morning when something unexpected happened! I tried to connect to WIFI and it just stopped connecting (didn't show any error screen) and started radomnly connecting to another preset WIFI setting. WTC! I Soft Reset my phone a hundred times and figure out the problem but I couldn't. It would be awesome if some cool dude out there could help me figure this out! Thanks....

Have you tried going to Start > Settings then tap and hold on the wifi network you do NOT want to connect to and when the menu pops up select Remove Settings. Repeat until the only remaining network is the one you want.

I already tried that and it still doesn't work! Help

If your using a custom ROM, did you install a carrier cab?

For some odd reason, it happened to go back to normal?! NM thx for the help appreciate your time guys!!

WIFI Turning on by itslef with seitch in off position

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

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

O2 Atom upgrade to wm6 but wifi problem

Hi All,
I upgraded my O2 Atom to ATOMWM607WWE4PP. Everything is running fine
and this is really a good ROM. My Atom is working fast and lot of good features

The only problem I have noticed about wifi. I am trying to enable this through
wifi manager but after trying 10 sec it could not make it on.
Any suggestion how to fix this ..

fix wifi via registry
first and foremost let me caution you in changing the registry, it could crash your system.
HKLM\System\State\Hardware
edit or create a dword Wifi. i think the value for "off" state is "1"
if you are a risk taker, try changing it to 3, 5 or 8. mine is set to 3, the wifi is on, if set to 8, it is connected. i hope this helps.
btw, after i was able to turn the wifi "on" via registry, i am able to turn on/off(toggle) wifi via wireless manager already. i don't turn on/off wifi via registry anymore. i only use the registry to see/verify the values. good luck and let us know how it turns out. thanks.
When I test the WIFI, I got "GetAdapterInfo() Failed".

dude, this could not be fix via registry, definitely. try to do self diagnotics(specifically the "WLAN Module Test" but i'm not sure) to see if the adapter/device is still functioning. your last resort would be to do hard reset or reflash. good luck bro...

you need a registry application. there a couple these around. i'm using the one that is build in dotfred taskmgr. its free try to google it for the latest version. good luck and oh btw, when you are at it already. the HKLM stand for "HKEY_Local_Machine". good luck...

hi makan07, i'll try my best to explain, once you are able or successful in turning the wifi on, you should be able to use wireless manager to turn the wifi on and off, you should not be depending on the registry anymore, once you get the wifi on. if you can't turn it off just like you mentioned then i think there is a problem already here, i'm sorry to say but you have to do a hard reset or a reflashing of your OS.
with regards to the searching, try the wifi utility interface/configuration/UI(user interface) found in your settings(connections group of applications). start>settings>connections, there should be a wifi utility icon there, then go to the "Site Survey" try to hit that then re-scan button. this should do the trick, if not, here is the last option but let me warn you first that messing with registry, as I have mentioned, could mess up your system; if you're a risk taker then try changing the registry value to 8 or 5 and see if the icon change to searching. just keep on trying to experiment on the registry values and see if somehthing works out. good luck...

thx for all your help.. my wifi can connected but i still can turn it off. i should use reg edit to off the wifi..

it's good to hear that your wifi could be connected already, at the least. kindly share how you were able to connect it, other might have or encounter in the future the same problem. what value in the registry is needed for the wifi to be connected?
with regards to turning it off. i guess we are out of luck but have you tried other means other than the registry, like turning it off on the wifi settings program group, i mentioned before :
"...(connections group of applications). start>settings>connections, there should be a wifi utility icon there, then go to the "Site Survey" try to hit that then re-scan button..."
there is a menu that also turns the wifi on and off in this area. and other wifi applications.
lastly, i could send you a registry file that you can run directly by clicking/selecting/running or double clicking it, if you have a registry application like resco installed. the said file will update your wifi registry. let me know if your interested.

i still confuse. is every atom life have a wifi problem??, is problem because unofficial rom?
wifi working without sim card
Friends,
I have noticed one thing - When I took out the sim card from my mobile.
It is perfectly working with wifi - I can on it or off it and using internet without
problem.
When I put sim card in, it does not work despite of setting the registry key.
I have tried 2 or 3 different and face the same issue with it.
Then I upgraded the latest ROM from kumara last_final .. 6.1 and same issue.
Does that mean there is some problem with ROM ??
Regards,
Jagjeet Singh

have u try to use original ROM for atom life?
Re:
I have not tried, Do you think this would resolve this problem ...
I am not aware if It works properly on O2 xda Atom ?
Hi Floks,
Can anyone please have a look and suggest something ..
Regards,
Js
Same problem with a brand new Atom Life. When I first used it, I didn't yet insert the SIM and the wifi was working great. But when I inserted the SIM, it couldn't connect to wifi. Moreover, it didn't show the first tab in the ``Wi-Fi'' control panel, labeled ``Wireless'' (the one where the list of available SSIDs and those with saved settings appears).
Changing the registry key doesn't work for me, maybe it is because our wifi network doesn't broadcast SSID and is WPA2-protected with pre-shared key...
Anyway, the only fix that works for me, is to reboot the device repeatedly until the wifi loads correctly. Most of the times it loads on the second try, mut sometimes it takes some 8 or 10 reboots... When it loads well at the boot time,
I even tried to look into the list of device drivers and services, none of them seemed relevant to wifi.
To sum up, I can't seem to find any handy solution to this problem and I'm becoming really desperate for it... Hope I won't have to turn it off very often so I don't have to reboot it like an idiot...

No 3G with cooked ROMs?

Hi Guys.
So I was finally able to get a cooked ROM on my Fuze using an older XP machine that I had. But now, after trying both ROMeOS and DCS, I'm not getting any 3G signal. What i do get at times is the hsdpa signal, but i don't actually receive it; none of the data services are working (internet, weather, youtube, etc.). Could someone please tell me how to get 3G on my Fuze?
EDIT: It seems like I am getting the HSDPA signal at times but its very tempermental
anyone have a solution?

In start>settings>phone>band do you have the auto in both drop menus on??
also try start>settings>connections>advanced network> in the HSDPA try to see which option is used. try to use 'enable HSDPA Only' or even disable it completely and see what happens.
had the same issue and this seemed to fix it.
Advanced Config Tool>menu>more settings>Comm manager - Add 3g to comms manager.
Open comms manager and switch 3g off > soft reset > switch 3g on > soft reset
Good luck
thanks ill try that out when i get a chance. what rom were you using?
EDIT: nvm saw it in your sig
did you run the network config wizard after flashing the rom?
it prompts (or detects) your country and operator and configures most things for you.
if it's not part of your cooked rom, look for it as a .cab
yea i ran the config but it still doesnt connect to 3g. I'm trying the suggested solution now
still not working....
I still cant run apps like cellular video and the youtube app. Youtube just wont load the vids, and CV gives me a message that says it's only supported to 3G phones. I really hope theres a solution to this since I really love ROMeOS but I want apps like youtube and CV
haha i give up. I officially ***king hate this. I feel like I spent 300 bucks on a phone that is perfectly engineered and has crap software on it. Im so agitated i can't even think straight. I'm really close to just getting rid of this phone and i dont even know.
Well... felt good to tell someone.
I am having the same problems. I am using an ATT Fuze and I flashed ROMeOS last night and now I cant to connect to the internet or use the youtube app via HSDPa/HSUPA, 3G, or Edge. I can use these applications if I turn on Wi Fi, but if I use cellular internet I get a big red sign that says "ERROR" and then followed by "the remote server refuses to perform the request. This address is not available". It also shows an H on the top bar if anyone was wondering. Any fix for this or just try a different ROM?
Update: I tried a new ROM and same thing. Does anyone have a solution? I am sure us two aren't the only ones with this problem!
I am getting pretty desperate, can anyone help?
same problem here, my area supports hsdpa but with a speedtest i have between 24 and 36kbit

go to start>settings>Connections>Advanced network>GPRS "make sure CHAP authenticaion is selected. that is what ATT network uses. then go to Start>Settings>Connections>Connections> select manage existing connections and then go to the proxy tab. make sure your remove both check marks and you should be good to go.
Wow, thank you HackMimic that worked! I tried everything I could think of and was about to go back to stock ROM just to use 3G, but now I can continue using flashed ROMS. To the original poster of this thread try the above and it should work as I had the exact same symptoms you described and now I am cruising along on HSDPA! Once again thanks HackMimic!
no problem. i had the same issue back in the day when the connection setup app first cam out i noticed that it always seem to set the GPRS Settings to PAP instead of CHAP which is needed for MMS and the net over here in america. also noticed issues with proxy selected. glad i could help.
Yea I tried HackMimic's fix but not directly from you . I was reading on how to configure skyfire and they said to do that, and what ended up happening is all of the sudden the youtube app worked and so did everything else. Regardless, thanks for the solution. I'm a little more amazed everyday by the wealth of knowledge on this forum

No DATA Connection After JB Update

Hello Everyone,
I need some help, I updated to JellyBean but now I have no data connection! I am not rooted, I have tried restarting my phone, turning airplane mode on and off, nothing seems to work. It seems nobody else is having this problem, is something in my settings wrong?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
I am having the similar issue. After updating, WI-FI stopped working, but I am able to get on the internet through the 3G connection.

Try playing with the Sprint Connection Optimization, and playing with the Power Save setting. Also, do generic reboot process.
so i had the same problem not being able to use my wifi at home but the 3g worked fine. before the update, my wifi worked so i knew it wasnt my wifi. i even tried to forget the network and enter my password again to reconnect. that didnt work either, i knew it probably had something to do with that sprint optimizer because it asked me to confirm something or another. i just got fed up and did a factory reset. that did it, still wondering what exactly caused the problem with the wifi...

[Q] WiFi failing after clean install

Hi
I'm a first time poster here
I'm having a problem with the wifi on my s3. I've searched the forums but the problems see to be different.
I can install a rom and when it goes through the initial account setup. when i get to the wifi i see my home network strong signal. i tap it and put in the password and it disappears, leaving me with my network not in range. Which is strange because it's working fine on this laptop.
i did the power saving turn off via *#0011# - no luck
i've wiped and reinstalled numerous times. each time i can tap on my network before it vanishes
Please point me in the right direction

one more try one more fail
Just tried android revolution rom. same problem
it picks up some networks, very low signal, but not the home router it is on top of. i can turn the wifi on and off and occasionally get a glimpse of my home network, but then it disappears.
really frustrating as i can't log into my google account and download contact info. makes the phone almost useless
Wipe phone flash your original stock rom or its update and test .
