possible wireless G wifi exec won't connect fix

[Vomithaus]

I have not tried it yet, but I sure hope it works!

Mine just cycling from 'connecting' to 'available'. I even flashed back to wm5 from wm6. Same thing. Tried two routers (both 'g' routers though).

Here it is:

And the text incase it vanishes.

Enable Wireless G (802.11g) Support in HTC Universal Pocket PC Phone

HTC Universal also kwown as Qtek 9000, T-Mobile MDA Pro, Orange SPV M5000, O2 Xda Exec, i-mate JASJAR, Dopod 900, Vodafone v1640, Vodafone VPA IV, E-Plus PDA IV, Grundig GR980 and etc as it’s be re-branded and marketed by different vendors and network operators. One major disappointment and weakness of HTC Universal is it’s only support 802.11b-compatible technology, and thus unable to connec to WiFi G (802.11g) network.

It’s possible to make the HTC Universal based Pocket PC phone to compatible and able to connect to 802.11g-only access points by a registry tweak, but the speed would still be the same as 802.11b (11 Mbit/s).

The registry tweak is to change and add the following registry decimal values using a registry editing tool like the PHM Registry Editor at your HTC Universal based Pocket PC:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TIACXWLN1\PARMS: dot11SupportedRateMask=1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TIACXWLN1\PARMS: dot11SupportedRateMaskG=8

After adding and editing above registry key, soft-reset the device.

Your right... and it doesnt work as well..

Wow. My old Dell axim 5 with a wifi cards connects to EVERYTHING... How come this can't?

I am really running out of idea's. I have searched this forum from top to bottom.

I have:

Re-flashed to wm5 (from the O2 site)
Tried every setting under the sun on TWO routers.
Tried with WEP, without it...
Hard reset, soft reset... ect .ect

I managed to CONNECT... I could ping and everything.. but I had to be less than one foot away from the antenna..

HOWEVER, it can pick up the SSID from as far away as the other side of the house (in the basement). This was about the limit of my Dell WIFI CF card too.

Some hope anyway...although it sounds hardwarish..

The book actually mentions an external antenna. Is that a typo? (look in the specs at the back)

I pulled my phone SIM card out and things seem a little more promising.... I tried many times with the phone connect icon in the connection manager turned off, but it's probably still keeping a connection somewhere....

Been through the whole gambit now. Searched this forum completely... tried different roms, tried registry hacks.... everything..

One thing people should be talking about on this forum: Ther e are quite a few people who flashed their pda's and ended up with this problem. Beware!

I guess I am now stuck looking for an SDCARD with some memory on it.

I upgraded my XDA EXEC to WM 6 by using CE Rom (2.02.00 WWE) to get luck for WiFi. I am not able to connect my university WiFi.

I am using Authentication - WPA, Data Encryption - TKIP, EAP Type - PEAP. XDA EXEC shows the WiFi available, but never get connected.

I observed many users of our university network, having windows mobile 5 / 6 based pocket pc, are able to use WiFi. But most of them have the IEEE 802.11b/g in their devices.

Please advise how we can get the settings done in XDA EXEC to get wifi.

Thanks a lot in advance.
