can't turn on WLAN

[pooksee1802]

Hello everybody,

first of all - thank you all: helmi, xplode, all pdaviet guys, and others - you're making magic with BA roms, really thank you.

Please help me, I have an annoying problem: most of the times I try, I can't turn on WLAN. Rarely, somehow I manage to turn it on, but it happens very rarely, and this is driving me crazy.

I don't know whether it is a rom problem, or something else.
I have tried almost all roms available, because i read explode somewhere said that his last rom solved this problem...but nothing.

Something curious: this is the third BA i own, and I saw this problem before, but somehow i could turn WLAN on (I'd press the WLAN icon in comm manager many times, etc.), but on this BA it's just almost impossible to turn WLAN on.

Any ideas, please?

You need to go to the COMM manager, then go to Settings (down the bottom) > WLAN settings.

Then press "Turn on WLAN". If it doesnt come on after that, go back to COMM Manager then press wireless button.

thank you for the advice, but I'm aware of that trick - It does not help.

I used it on other BA's, and it was working, however, on this one it does not (most of the times).

Namely, I would think the WLAN module is simply dead, but then, sometimes, (unfortunately quire rarely) I manage to turn it on with the above procedure - first in comm manager, then settings, "turn wlan on", then comm manager again...

I don't get it, is it the ROM, or just my BA? :confused:

i'm using BA_ROM_CE_OS_5.2.19716__Build_19716.1.1.0_PV_DVH__ 16MB_Ram_16MB_PP as it is the only one that supports the new Wifiv2 driver

Do the search for "dead wlan due to erased eeprom"

Flyboy:

tried, but nothing. reflashed ba with BA_ROM_CE_OS_5.2.19716__Build_19716.1.1.0_PV_DVH__ 16MB, (the version without ram - although I don't understand what's the difference), then cold boot with no yes,yes...), installed wlan v2, but nothing, can't turn wlan on. Thank you anyway...

hmm...interesting, I assume you meant the hermes subforum topic (Dead wlan due to erased eeprom? *SOLVED*), but it's quite hard to follow, as it is for hermes... Also, posting a question there would not be liked by drummer10630, I mean he's great, helped many people, but for our BA the procedure is not the same, so he couldn't help me...

Anyway thank you all who read this, especially for your much needed help, I appreciate it.

after flash try cold boot with no NO,yes... just format the storage!!!

[pooksee1802]

flyboy, tried that too, but no success.

I think I'll have to give up, I'm depressed.
shit.

Bump.

Anyone else had any success stories they can post? I am in the same boat as pooksee1802.

WiFi will turn on, detect the network, go through all the settings but never complete the connection. It will connect maybe once in 20 attempts. It isn't that it simply doesn't work or is definitely broken, its just that it very rarely completes the connection. When it does complete the connection it works fine until the next time you need to connect.

i have the same issue...tried everything...no can do :(

wifi goes up, find the access point, requesting network key, then it retry connecting till dead by itself

i found a weird thing : whatever I set it to using Open + WEP, after tap "connect", it goes back to WPA-PSK + TKIP thing...

really annoying :(
