How can I fix my WiFi problem?

[hardingt0110]

I have not been able to turn on wifi reliably for ages now - It all started when I upgraded to WM5. Now (even if I downgrade to wm2003se) I cannot turn it on. I press the wifi on button, the cursor comes up but nothing happens), leave it for a couple of hours, and then press again - it will sometimes turn on. It then stays on for about 30 mins, and turns off (I have the wifi set to never turn off).

I cannot diagnose the problem - can you?

Any help GREATLY appreciated - feel free to ask for more details.

What you can do is to check the following keys in the registry:

HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Parms\HTCPreloadstatus --> 1
HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Parms\HTCPreloadwifi -->1

Both dword with decimal values. Next, when you made the changes, softreset and check if your wlan is working.

Keep us posted.

Cheers.

i do have a directory called tiacwln1, and another called tiacwln.

I have attached them here, so you can have a look yourself:

(rename .doc to .reg if you need to)

I press the wifi on button, the cursor comes up but nothing happens), it will sometimes turn on. It then stays on for about 1 - 5 seconds, and shows connecting BUT DOES NOT CONNECT and turns off (I have the wifi set to never turn off).

I cannot diagnose the problem - can you?

HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Parms\HTCPreloadstatus --> 1

HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Parms\HTCPreloadstatus --> 0 :mad:

The other setting
HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Parms\HTCPreloadwifi -->1

Stays same

And after that, have you tried to soft-reset the device ?
There's a good change if don't, the change won't have any effect just like on you're desktop/laptop etc.

Of course, That's what I said that "I tried it but on Reboot My settings return back "

After the Reboot/ ie after the Soft reset.

No Luck:confused:

I have the same problem.
the value change back to 0 after soft-reset.
I tried several times even waiting for some minutes before soft-resetting.

@jeasbe: I just wanted to second your finding...

Actually I suspect some hardware/EEPROM issue like this (Hermes):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=304004

this is my story:
1. Got the Dopod from the provider with Chinese ROM (living in mainland China at the moment). Did not test WiFi.
2. After strongly insisting on an English GUI I got an update to an English ROM from the provider. Since then no WiFi
3. Asked the provider about WiFi on my Dopod. He confirmed that it was not working but had been working with the Chinese ROM before.
.... (so excluded user problem ;) but still no solution)
4. Decided to upgrade by myself assuming the problem lies in the ROM version.
.... Upgraded step-by-step with the various ROM versions to XM6 according to tutorial 'n checked for each ROM version for WiFi. Still no WiFi.
5. Installed the WiFi patch for the commgr. No WiFi.
6. Read about that registry hack. Values do not remain after soft-reset. No WiFi.
7. Colleagues have the same problem (but still with the English ROM from the provider). So will ask one of them to hand-in to the provider to change back to Chinese ROM in order to see whether WiFi is working with that setting. But doubting it :cool:

8. any other ideas appreciated ...

It looks like the Hermes guys (Drummer) found a solution:

However, I am not an expert so don't whether it is possible the adapt the approach somehow to the Wizard.

I found out that if you have a CHS version officially sold in China there is no WiFi feature in the phone - this rule applies for all models from any manufacturer.

I am not sure though whether it is really hardware (like missing the WLAN chip) or software issue (on a level below the ROM, because change to different ROM [incl. change of IPL/SPL and radio] won't help).
