Hello everyone,
have you experienced this issue: phone part working only after soft reset and only for one call or one data connection, after that even the phone seems connected to the network, I am un reacheable...
...and is taking very long time to conect to the network...
could this be a hardware failure?
I'm on wm6 2.20

I've noticed the phone not work until after I changed the band. I haven't noticed your issue. Check the band anyhow. The settings depends on your provider.
I tried... not working
Thank you anyway.
I have the same issue, The phone just stops working and the icon get an exclamation mark. Then I need to soft reset to get the phone working again
I don't know why but it seems that if you disable "HSDPA Switch" (in settings, open "HSDPA Switch" and uncheck the box, then Soft Reset), the problem disappears.
the exclamation mark means you don't have a signal. I've read here about updating the radio as the older radio seems to be better. I've had no problems with my reception yet. but do think the original radio rom was better.

Here it works perfectly. I use 1.45 radio ROM with WM6 from xda. I have set phone for auto/auto for band settings and have no problem. It always tries to connect with best possible speed HDSPA/UMTS/EDGE/GPRS. I keep the connection always on as my provider charges me for first 100 KB and then for each 1KB in one go. I can see that my signal is much better then in my Universal or in FS T830.
It was a hardware failure.
I'm waiting now for the phone replacement.
Thank you for trying to help me.
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
of wm6 I am enjoying.
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.

@ all
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...

Hi I was hoping someone could help me with this. The only way I can see to disable the phone signal is to turn on airplane mode, however this will obviously prevent me from then enabling wifi. Is there a way to run the handset with just wifi enabled?
erm, kinda! you can use a settings widget included in the touchflo UI to disable mobile data, but not turn the whole phone off apart from airplane mode that i know of.

haha very good.
I wanted to do something similar. That is, have all wireless turned off except for GPS (in order to preserve battery life). I put the hero in airplane mode and then turned on the GPS. Nice to know that works! Not sure why you cant use the same procedure for Wifi (but I can't either).

Will not help... you can still make emergency calls without the SIM... it won't turn off the GSM/3g radio.
does anyone know of a widget that will just toggle the phone on/off like the HTC Widgets for bluetooth, wifi etc. ?
Just found an application in the market called "Airplane Autoswitch" which apparently switches on airplane mode according to a schedule, but keeps WiFi switched on. Assuming it works, this definitely implies that you should be able to write a toggle widget to do the same thing on demand.

Dave
An app as just been released called "airplane mode wifi" which seems to do what you are asking.

Hi
Since last update (9 dic) everytime I restart the phone I can see the 3G icon on the systembar but the 3G data connection is off on settings.
I have to set the 3g data connection on and then off to make the 3G icon disappear.
With the 3G setting off I reboot the phone and the 3g icon is back again ...
Any one is having the same problem ?
Thanks Iosu
How did you turn off 3G? Did you just turn off "Data Connection".
I am trying to figure how to do it on me AT&T HTC Titan.

yes I turn off data connection
I think your issue is different
Hello Iosub,
The 3g icon could be just indicating that you are using the 3g voice ( not the data). On my old Nokia's they would show the 3g icon even though I never used data.
Hello nemets,
Unfortunately not all the carriers allow the 3G connection setting in their Cellular setting. Though the option does exist as evidenced by the How-to Cellular settings page on the Microsoft website.

thanks for your answer.
i don't think that is the issue.
1. Because when i go to settings the data connection is off
2. Because if I turn on and the off the data connection the icon disappears
3. Because this was not happening with firmware 1.08 this is new with version 2.1
i think is a bug with the new firmware , lets see if someelse has the same problem..
Thank you
found a fix
I have found a fix.
I have turn on flight mode and reboot.
then I have turn off flight mode and reboot
I have reboot 5 times and no more 3g icon on startup. Only if I have the data connection on prior reboot witch is the correct behavior
hope is no back again
Iosu
I've noticed strange behavior with 3G (H) indicator.
Sometimes the icon appears even with Data Cellular off, I also see that restart behavior.
Will try the Air Plane mode trick and see if it solves this ODD thing.
What I don't understand is: why in the H**** this is done by firmware? Shouldn't this be controlled by the OS?
PS: when Cellular Data is OFF, even if the icon is in the screen, there is no connection working.

I was having the same issue.. After my trick it has been fixed.. try it
also. now my batery live is longer
Iosu
I also noticed this bug, once yesterday and twice again today.
However, I couldn't identify what triggers the issue, it seems to be happening out of the blue on my phone.
At first I thought I've fixed it by turning cellular data on/off but that proved to be only a temporary fix (as it occured again).
I also agree the issue has an impact over battery life. Usually my battery drains very slowly overnight (~2%) but last night it drained 10%. I examined the Battery Status graph and it clearly showed the battery drain going down abruptly around 5 o'clock.
I will try the airplane mode fix and report back.
UPDATE
I tried it but didn't work, maybe I didn't do it right:
- turn cellular data ON
- turn flight mode ON
- reboot
- turn flight mode OFF
- reboot
- turn cellular data OFF
After a few hours, the H icon appeared all of a sudden on the status bar...
the issue is back
Now the trick does not work :-(
Time to find a way to fix it
HTC response is to reset.. Why in the hell they always give the same answer ?
Iosu
Hello,
My Titan has this problem too.
I have made the "Airplane" solution but since yesterday the 3G icon appeared again.
Any solution for this or should I reset the phone?
Thanks

Another Trick
Hi
I have found another trick.
step to fix
1.- Set DataConnection ON
2.- Go to a place where you lost the antena coverage connection completly, example a garage
3.- Go to DataConection turn OFF
Now move to a place with Antenna coverage
you will see that there is no more 3g/h simbol.
Hope this helps
Hi to all,
Unfortunately I ve got the same annoying problem after the last update through Zune. Hope this trick works,but maybe a permanent solution is another HTC update to correct this bug...
The above trick worked for almost 24 hours,now the bug appeared again. Thanks for your help anyway. One question please : what if I hard reset the phone? That means no more updating through Zune? Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas!

The problem is that if the Hard Reset solves the problem...

I guess that hard reset may be the solution since the bug came up after the last update.
I think I m gonna try it.
