Stupid me. In my excitement to keep up with the latest news on the US Open at Torrey Pines, I downloaded and installed the mobile leaderboard from usopen.com. It was advertised as working on WM6 devices, and the install went fine. When I started the program, it blinked the screen, turned off my wifi, then quit. The US Open program is called MYlbCab.cab and is available from the www.usopen.com website.
Apparently, this crappy piece of code messes around with connection settings. I immediately uninstalled the code, but now I cannot make any data connections -- not over cellular and not over wifi. In fact, my wifi will not even connect. You know in CommMgr when you hit the button to turn on wifi and the little wheel spins in the middle of the screen for a couple of seconds and then your wifi is up? Well, that doesn't happen anymore. When I try to start wifi, the button lights up, but then nothing else happens. I can still make/receive voice calls, but no data -- no browsing, no email.
I have done multiple soft resets with no effect. I turned the phone off, took out/replaced the battery and restarted. I have double checked my connection settings, and I think they are ok. I have double checked my wlan settings, and they look good. Are there some registry settings that this US Open junk could have messed up?
I have been searching the forums for things like "hermes wifi registry" and cannot find anything that helps. Would some kind soul please answer the following --
-- Point me to a post that details the proper registry settings for wifi.
-- Is there something else that could have gotten messed up and give me the same symptoms.
Thanks.
