WiFi Issue With 9800...

[tb5...]

my friend has a 9800 as well...
an he seems to be having a issue with his wifi...

i guess when he turns on tha little switch on the side... no icon appears
an therefor no internet access...

his phone is out tha box and other than tha task manager prog tha htc home plugin and streaming media program that i gave him hes done nothing to it...

any ideas???:confused:

I assume you mean 6800, not 9800... but anyway...

The wifi (as far as I or other people on this forum know) is a hard-switch. That means that it isn't really controllable by software, but rather when the switch is on, the wifi radio is on, and vice-versa.

If the operating system doesn't recognize that the wifi is on, it sounds like the switch might be broken. However, rather than relying on the icon to come up, try going to settings -> connections -> wifi and checking whether it can detect anything there.

Good luck!

the wifi is software controllable when the switch is on, so make sure he doesnt have any software that disables the wifi (i have SPB phonesuite on mine, and if i turn off wifi in phonesuite it doesnt come on when i flip the switch)
