wifi problems

[iba12345]

I don't understand what is wrong with my phone.

When i enable wifi, my phone connects to the network and then the phone turns off. Sometimes it makes it to internet explorer and then it turns off.

I dont understand, calls work, music works, the phone stays on. but when i enable wifi, the phone just shuts off.

what could be the problem.

First I would try different roms (kavana, rose, official, etc) and see if it's a software problem.

If all the different roms has the same problem then it might be your battery. Put the battery on a flat surface and spin it. If it spins then the battery is bad.

way to mock a guy that is having problems...or maybe not mocking but lack of help....I have the same problem with every single rom I have tried...even back to official....wifi "driver is not loaded" i've tried everything....I was putting 6.1 rom on a friends dash, I have it on my shadow and it didn't break my wifi, but I can't get it to work on the dash....i'm glad i switched to the G1....i would imagine I just need to find a regestry string or some cab file to enable the wifi driver...I can't get the wifiinit.exe thing to work...IDK anymore..i wanna give up and give it back to him and be like..hope you didn't like the wifi feature...

If you can connect via wi-fi then it shuts of when open up IE or even just connected via wi-fi the chances are your battery is cuput as the phone will use more mA when using wi-fi.

How am I mocking him? Dash is known for having battery issues that shuts off the phone randomly. Most of the time it's because the battery is dying or bloated. If it's bloated then you'll be able to spin it on a flat surface.

The whole spinning thing now makes sense, it just sound crazy.....sorry about that....I think I need to start a new thread on my problem...I got a new wifiinit.exe and everything and still no wifi...

thats what mine kept doing..it is in fact the battery. when mine first started doing it, i took a volt meter to the battery and got very inconsistent readings. when i replaced that battery and tested the new one, it was very consistent. this happened to me 3 times and i finally threw the excalibur in the crap box and got a new phone.

the problem only happens when a load is put on the phone..such as wifi. it will idle fine, but even still, the battery life will suck and most likely your battery meter on the phone wont be accurate.

could be a memory issue. How much free memory do you have?
