Over the last few months (since our company decided to deploy Goodlink 5) I have been having all kinds of problems with some of the ROMs but not others (i.e. Black works but Schap’s doesn’t) when it comes to getting GL5 to work.
In trying to figure it out, I decided to Mattk_r’s wonderful Pandora Kitchen.
As I was playing and testing I found that after a flash with a new ROM that I had just created, WIFI was working (I was playing with PeekPocket). I then installed GL5 and moved on with my life.
Having WIFI at home, I decided to try to connect. What I found was that I couldn’t enable the WIFI radio in Comm Manager or Settings.
After some playing around, I found that I could replicate the GL hang a few times by having the WIFI enabled (although it only happened a few times and I haven’t been able to figure out what state the WIFI stack has to be in to actually cause the hang).
A Google search revealed that the GL admin folks have the ability to disable WIFI (among other things like Bluetooth, camera, activesync... etc).
So my theory is that our admin folks have disabled WIFI on the devices through various policy settings. Because there are different flavours of ROMs that, I assume, treat the WIFI stack in different ways, sometimes GL is successful in applying the policy (and works) and sometimes it isn’t (GL hangs).
What do you think? I would be interested to know if those who have problems with GL and some WM6 ROMs, what their GL admin have disabled (if anything).
Cheers,
Baggy.
