[Q] Wjfi & Bluetooth not working - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Bought a T mobile HD2 (unlocked) second hand with energy rom installed.
Got it home & I find that the wifi & bluetooth are not working.
It picks up the network signal fine & the data connection is working fine.
But the wifi turns on & will not pick up anything.
The bluetooth it seems does not discover & is not discoverable.
I suspected it may be somthing to do with the rom so I loaded up a stock T mobile rom with the same results.
I have updated the radio with the same results.
The phone has Hspl loaded & I am wondering if I could do a complete cleanout of everything including Hspl & reload a completly vanilla stock Rom would that help.
I have fiddled with all the settings for both wifi & bluetooth & still no results.
At this point I need help!!!!

Run a task 29 then the stock rom of your choice, check the radio installed is compatable with the rom, hard reboot after completing the rom flash (its a good idea to do that first as well in case you don't need to run a 29 or flash)

I've the same problem ...I suppose.
I used a Touch Pro in the last two years and Energy ROMs since September 2009. I never had problems with Wi-Fi an Bluetooth.
Recently I bought a HD2 and tried Bloutooth and Wi-Fi only after 1 week.
So, both the Touch Pro and the HD2 got the same ROM (Energy ROM) flashed , each by its own version, but two days ago I discovered WiFi not working (DISCOVERED, because I never tried it before)
The problem seems an extremely poor signal seen on the on screen meter, only if I'm close to the router (1-2 meters!) I couldn't establish a real connection, because the HD2 loss the signal every 30-40 seconds.
Bothered about this I tried with Touch Pro: the result is the same!
So I concluded: "It's the ROM!". Strange (never had problems with Energy ROMs) but possible. I flashed the stock ROM on the HD2: the issue remains. So I thought about the RADIO, and I flashed the RADIO 2.12.50.02 (compatible with ROM). The issue is still here.
I used Task 29 before another flash, then I tried an Artemis ROM with RADIO 2.12.50.02... nothing changed. (note that I tried almost every different settings about Wi-Fi,from BsB tostandard enhance settings)
Last (related?) issue: when I try a hard reset, the progress bar starts to "move" but after 3-4 seconds (about a third of the bar) the bar disappears and I got the "Press VolUp button" message. Then the phone has the first boot... but I wonder if the HR is complete, because it seems yes.
Finally I came to this thread and... another doubt: what about BT?
I tried both the Touch Pro and the HD2 Bluetooths but they can't connect or recognize each other (every "Find" and "Visible" options activated)
I didn't try yet with Touch Pro (flash etc.) but I am very bothered and dubious about it.

WIFI & Bluetooth
Thus far I have run task 29
Reinstalled a stock T-mobile rom
But no luck wifi & bluetooth still not working properly.
Decided to go right back to the very beginning & uninstalled HSPL by loading the stock Rom from the SD card
Stock rom would not upload & i am getting the SPL 1.42.0000 Screen plus "Upgrade Rom code error please try again"
The question I have now is which is the proper stock Rom for this T mobile HD2 & how do I find that out?

Sorry I can't help about this.
We are alone in this thread!

wifi & bluetooth
I think your right.
Ah well, at least I have a very expensive doorstop!

You are not alone. I am experiencing the exact same problem and have yet to find an answer.
Task 29 didn't help and reflashing the radio the traditional way (even with the stock rom) doesn't seem to overwrite whatever is causing this problem.
Would uninstalling the hspl do anything? I am running out of ideas.

Weird problem, can any pro help?

Hey everyone,
My hermes (which i replaced due to this and got a new one, same prob. so i guess its not a hardware thing) is dying on me after a day or two of usage.
it works fine after a HR, then somewhere within the following 24-48 hours it starts accumilating bugs (start menu wont open, htc home tabs going weird, programs folder is nowhere to be found and all kinds of weird stuff).
resetting the device (soft) always hangs at the same point - splash screen just after showing the rom version numbers.
i've tried to find bad blocks using mtty and it says my device is mint - no bad blocks whatsoever...
im on hardspl 1.30 i think, sim free and cid unlocked, tried several roms and several radios that have worked for me before (on my older device).
any ideads?
do hard reset then put the apps you like on one at a time. if there is a conflict somewhere it will show up soon after the problem app is installed. might be a couple of apps so it may take awhile to work out what one(s)..... cheers
This sounds like the problem that is cropping up lately after installing a 6.1 ROM. It is fixable by first installing an official (the official Dopod ROM is a popular favorite) ROM and then installing your ROM of choice. Current wisdom is that it has something to do with superstorage. Anyway, flash an official ROM first and see if that fixes it.

Auto Reboot after GPS fix... Strange Issue?

Hello to all...
I have a sprint touch pro (raphael) and so far its was working perfectly but all of a sudden the phone resets itself after 10-20sec. after getting a GPS lock in google maps and Tomtom 7. recently Tomtom says no GPS device...
Well I backup the registry every couple of apps/tweaks i install... but even when i restored the registry from when it was working fine... still the self reset issue occurs.
any idea as to what gives???
I did recently install bike dashboard and i think that was the culprit... even after uninstalling it, and restoring previous registry, the phone still is experiencing the same issue.
Keep in mind that if I dont use any software using GPS... the phone works fine!
I want to see If i can troubleshoot the issue before I hard reset it (then I'll have to waste a whole day just resetting it and installing all the apps/tweaks to get it back to what it was before)
ur not alone.
instead of telling you what to do, im going to direct you to this forum.
there is a quick and easy fix, but it hit alot of people last week.
heres the forum.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=92926
its happened to me, & others i know. flash a new updated radio & it should fix your problems.
I had the same issue... I just updated the ROM to the latest official Sprint Rom from their website & all is well. Your mileage may vary.
yea updating the stock rom will include the radio they included in the rom package. any custom roms dont flash a new radio. so flash a new radio & you'll be good =]

[Q] Bad flashing, plz help!

Hi all, i have a tricky one for you. MUCH respect to the one that can help me out with this one.
I belived my HD2 to be faulty and was to return it in for repairs. Having HSPL on the phone presented a problem so i tryed installing from SD card to remove it and restore the phone back to original ..... exept that didnt happen.
See, i didnt save my original rom back in the days when hspl showed up and apperently, you need to extract your original rom if you ever inteend to restore it to full original. So after some tries, with stock 1.48 and stock 1,66 i gave up and did a task 29, installed NRG rom and was back to normal ... OR so i thought.
The problem that started showing was a strange connection error.
"Dialer
cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings " some more text of non importense is displayed on there.
Thing is i lose the connection for like 1 second, it then shows this message and the connection is back again ... so i just press "Dismiss" untill it randomly will occure again now and then.
Now i tryed radio 2.10.50.19, 2.10.50.28, 2.12.50.28_2 with no luck.
I tryed to start with 1.48 stock installed from computer, then Task 29 with radio, then the latest NRG rom ... and some older. Nothing changes this thing, and the problem never occured before. I tryed just Task 29 and straight to NRG rom, nothing.
Plz plz if you have an idee, or think you can help, plz do, this is getting on my nerves, what if i never can save it!!!! ... oh my oh my
Best regards

[Q] Gps Not Finding satellites

Recently i unlocked HD2, and since then, gps does not detecting any satellites.
I use 2 navigation programs, Igo8 and Destinator 8 and 9, and all of them displays connection with gps, but i waited more than 2 hours to find satellites...both of them found nothing.

Do you have a clear view of the sky? And you could also try more gps applications but try to do it with a clear view of the sky if you haven't.Hope this helps.
I tried more than once. Also downgrade radio to 2.14 version but still no progress.

O.K. This should solve your problem. Upgrade your radio back to 2.15.50.14. After that, download and install the attached file on your phone. Make sure you install it TO YOUR PHONE and NOT SD CARD. Then run the app, download data, then run your gps app. You should be good to go. Hope this helps.
Tried ....nothing again...
I would try a task 29 then reinsall the rom, its likely just a software glitch
Go to GPS settings and mark "managed by windows" or something my rom is in spanish, then run quick GPS, and try first whit Google Maps if u have 8 Sat´s+ the GPS work Fine, if u dont want to configure GPS flash AKIRA ROM WWE is ready for use iGo 8 (That i have) ;D

Hello, had the same problem with my HD2. My phone was having an Eastern Europe type of ROM (Poland 1.48.479.1). After I've put the HSPL, I updated the phone to the latest Radio (2.15.50.14) and a custom ROM, i did see that GPS didn't work. In trying to resolve the problem, I installed a lot radios and OS's (custom Windows, SD Androids, NAND Androids, etc), but GPS didn't seem to work in the right parameters (there were sometimes when it worked for few seconds after waiting about 5 minutes). Then i decided to turn back cu SPL, and install the original stock Windows from the HTC site. Now the GPS seem to work fine. The Radio version is 2.05.51.05_2. Hope it works for your phone too.
Another problem that i noticed, is that when i'm starting Destinaror, appears a message that says
"Bluetooth connection is not possible. Please check that bluetooth connections are active and then try again"
What is this? Is this the problem generator?

I did what you said but the problem is still there. What to do?
Is the signal strength very weak, if so it could be hardware related & maybe wifi antenna connection issue which can be a problem for some;
