Hi there!
I'm new to this : since i upgraded to the offical rom by HTC to wm6 and downgraded the radio rom to 1.40.30.00 to be able recieving calls, now the gsm and gprs are working fine but impossible to connect to wifis ...
Is there any relation between the radio rom and wifi ?
thanks for your help!

Are you able to connect to wifi but unable to use any internet apps (Poket IE) If so you will likely need to go to programs/proxy manager and disable the proxy. If can't actually connect (The wifi tower doesn't show the connection arrows) then I'm not sure... Hope this helps.

Thanks but my pocket IE is working fine, and the wifi tower arrows are in movement but not stopping!
CJ
My 838 had the same problem too after i upgraded to WM6 . Whenever i try to enable the Wifi the arrow spinned and then stopped without any message. But it was impossible to enable it. Any help??
upgrading your radio has nothing to do with wifi connection... Does that wifi connection require a WAP of some sort?
I just found out that by putting off the gsm, the wifi connects with no problem, but impossible with the gsm on !
CJ
I get wifi working with gsm on.

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.

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 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...
