After a marathon of rom´s installation (went from all wm6.5 to kavana´s wm6.1) and back to wm6.5 rom´s, I am unable to get the wifi working properly with Auto power save mode under wifi settings...just work as it should if "best performance" is selected, with the battery vampire results...This happens no matter what rom I am using (wm6.5 or wm6.1, same situation).
As far as I recall I was able to use the wifi with auto power setting before I´ve installed kavana´s wm6.1.
Any clue?...:confused:

I could change the topic in some sense...is anybody having wifi working ok with "best battery" or auto option selected into Power Mode options of Wlan settings?..cause the only way I can have it working properly is setting "best performance" option, and it is a pain for battery life...:(

Using Kavana Ricky Remade Best Battery working fine, i always just keep on Auto but decided to try to verify.
I'm not sure why some peeps have issues with wi-fi and others don't what ROM are you using now as you say since using Kavana? Remembering Ricky remade the base is still the same.

Hi Stylez, thanks for coming back..:)
The problem started since I´ve installed Kavana´s ROM...before that, I never get a single problem connecting wifi with auto setting. After that installation, I was using a lot of different roms during the weekend, and all of them have the same problem with wifi connecting only with best performance setting..even returning to 3vo series and Lovebabyjing (present rom) I have the same problem, and-again- never have that wifi power setting problem with those roms.
I am a complete dumb, but it could be possible that installing a rom could mess my wifi radio and that damage could be permanent? or in other words...is there any setting that keeps on hardware regardless the rom you install?
Thanks for your support, as always ;)

When we flash a ROM all of the previous ROM "should" be overwriten wiped, yet we know that's not always the case to which is why back when Ricky & i made RoseROM there was a bit about hard-reset after flashing, i don't think that a ROM flash is likely to cause the issue mentioned just because no other cases mentioned "even though has been some weird no wi-fi cases" and also like previous said i'm using Ricky Remade and the base is exactly the same, could just have been the timing, what i'd advise is flashing back to stock ROM then performing a hard-reset, then flashing custom ROM, sorry i can't give a decisive caurse of action or fix.
Always happy to help as much as can :)

Ok Stylez, thanks a lot...In my search for a "cure" I´ve reflashed to a stock rom but forgot to do a hard reset..I´ll be doing that and see what happens.
Interesting you are using the ricky´s remade of Kavana...does it fullfil all your expectations? sorry to be curious..:p

Good luck :) "my gut feeling is it's not going to help"
I'm very fond of Ricky Remade was my first ROM flash ;) PagePooled @ 4.5MB get about 28MB of RAM on first boot and 25MB pretty much all day only thing i could wish for is that someone makes a fresh weather app, but then i use Tilt as main device with M2D and weather4me so that was just me being picky lol

Wow...I should try that rom :D..I can see you´ve discarded wm6.5 roms...I can´t decide which one will be for a time..I am a flash addicted:D
If I could get any weather app working flawlessly with a WM6.1 (and of course, getting my wifi working ok again) maybe I will keep that rom for a while..
Thanks again brother

I know this might be a dumb question to some of you but...does anyone know how I can assign a DNS to my wifi?
Unfortunatley my internet service provider has assigned a dns for my connection, which means that I cannot use the internet unless I enter that number.
I even called HTC's tech support and they couldn't help. They said that I was not running the original rom and the new one was missing important settings. Is this true?
Unfortunately, I don't have the stock rom. I'm currently using Ricky's remade WM6.1
Can anybody help, please?
