Opening a new thread with so little information... as your first post?
What speed DO you reach using WiFi, etc... more info would be nice.

yes, i found similar problem on WIFI. Everytime I clear up my Diamond, I need to sync all Outlook mails using pushmail. It's talking about tens MB continous sync-ing. However, WIFI always stuck in the middle, and say "waiting for network".. I don't think it is my internet connection problem. As I also doing this to my old HTC Touch even now, there is no problem. In my Diamond, I need to use GRPS, it is slow but more stable.
I think there is bug in Diamond's WIFI. :(

I'm having problems too... on my Diamond it takes ages to log onto Windows Live messenger and for the contact list to load up.. about a min... absolutely unacceptable..

Honestly, Wi-Fi has been a breeze. I've set up connections at my dad's place, my mom's place and my girlfriend's place and as soon as I'm in range, it automatically connects and it's rapid-fast as well. It's probably the thing I'm most impressed by, as the DHCP and Wireless LAN functions have been amazingly simple to set up.

My diamond is perfectly working. windows live messenger loads very Fast and WIFI is better than my polaris and kaiser. I can catch the wifi signal on my garden at the back of my house which I can't catch with polaris or kaiser, my latop does not catch the signal too. So for ME DIAMOND IS THE BEST.

Do you have any problems with live messenger dropping out when the device screen shuts off??

Wifi works perfectly fine for me. No drop outs or anything.

I don't know why, but only the stock roms seemed to support that, I was using mail2web, I got fed up with being unable to sync over wifi,critical while roaming, so I changed to Sherweb after trying 6 roms. Sherweb syncs fine.

I do agree... the Diamond WiFi module is almost like the TyTn2 one: a lot worst than Universal and iPod Touch (I have also them) devices.

I find wi-fi very flakey, it needs a really strong signal to be able to stream youtube without continually caching and that seems to mean being within a couple of meters of the router.
Its a shame because the GPS reception is awsome, I can pick up signals within a few seconds often indoors.

What happens to your wifi when the device goes into stand by, (screen shuts off etc). My WiFi disconnects when the Diamond goes into sleep mode...
Do you guys have the same propblem when the device goes into standby (i.e. when using live/msn messenger)?

Hey, WLM dropping when the screen shuts off, isn't a bug, its a power savign feature because when your screen shuts off it disables the Wi-fi, i don't know if there's a way to keep the wi-fi on when the screen shuts off but that would be useful. another option would be to disable settings-->System-->Power-->Advanced-->"turn off device if not used for"
tho this will kill your battery

Yes- WiFi off with screen off is designed behaviour, and AFAIK cannot be altered.
The WLAN radio uses around 600mA (4X normal power use) so would drain the battery very quickly if left on.
Those of you getting poor performance and dropouts- ensure you have Power Mode in WLAN settings turned to Max performance, otherwise it may struggle to keep a connection to a router. My Diamond has excellent WiFi and no issues with Exchange syncing.

Yea make sure the wifi power mode is set to 'best performance', I was having real problems with a slow connection but this seems to have speed it up somewhat.

Wi-Fi sucks on Touch's HTC. period. :mad:
a friend of mine has a touch cruise and we have the exactly the same networks and problems side-by-side. it's a well-known htc issue, but what do u can expect more from a ppc ?
i don't use wi-fi. hspda is cheaper and much more battery friendly. gg

Wifi on my Diamond is excellent. I take it and walk around my backyard and it still picks up the signal well. It also detects wifi signal from my neighbours too.:D
All in all, good signal and good speed.
