Can anybody help?... i have installed all the wm6 roms available (thanks to everyone that has created one of these) Anyway my problem is i have a bthomehub and i am having some troubles connecting the universal to the homehub via Wifi. The universal can pick up my wifi signal fine but then when i enter my encryption key the uni then comes back and tells me the key has been entered incorrectly ( i know this is not the case ) I have even tried removing the encryption off the homehub and the universal still does not connect. I know that there is not a problem with the wifi on the uni and WM6 as i took it round my friends and connected up to his dlink straight away.
Any suggestions would be most helpful
Nevamind folks. just solved my own problem for some reason it would only let me connect if i specified a static IP on my uni. Bit of a pain but still i can live with that..
Cheers anyways
strange, i just got the homehub with phone etc, and my uni connects no probs
Looks like there's some wireless issues here -
I have a Dlink DI-524 b/g router, set to WEP with a small key.
Running WM5 - wireless fine.
Running WM6 Black edition 1.2 - Can see access point, says key is wrong.
Running WM6 Black edition 2.0 - Can see access point, says key is wrong.
Running WM6 XDA live... .20 - fine
Pretty sure XDA live .10 was fine as well, but that was a few weeks back now .
Tried all the settings available, WEP,WPA,WPA2,Hex keys, Ascii keys, no encryption at all..... no go. Can see the AP fine..... takes about 30 seconds before coming back with an incorrect key error.
Anyone else see this?
Sorry dude, Im using WEP 64bit key and works a treat (reception sucks in the loft though)
hmmmmm.
I've tried 64/128 bit keys and everything... perhaps its an issue with wm6/router software. What model AP are you using?
Just tried mine and it works flawlessly...
Maybe try and reset the router/wap?
Been there, done that as well
It's a bit of a puzzle.
It's strange that one flavour of WM6 works and not another. I might have to do a bit of scratching about in the registries/dll's of both and see if there's anything different.
But it's not too critical, as long as one version of WM6 works for me
WPA PSK TKIP running fine here......
No problems with WPA-PSK using TKIP on D-Link DSL-G604T.
Also fine here...
I am using the back 2.0 right now and I have no issue at all.
My settings are:
WPA2 AES RADIUS on a Dlink 2100 AP
from now on... can you please post all issues with Black 2.0 here
Wellll.... I was going to post there, but I was unsure if it was just a WM black issue or a larger one involving other flavours. I did a search before posting and there were hints of similar wireless issues with other roms and other people.
And I've found some sort of solution -
Flashed it back to WM black, finally managed to get it to connect with wpa-2 with an pre-shared AES key. After that, all connection modes work - open/wep/wps.
Will check the registry settings and see if there's anything obviously different now than from the default install.
Funny I was having a similar problem, but it was with WM 6 Black Edition V1.2.
My phone was not finding one of my wireless routers, even when I was standing right beside it, but it would connect to my other one fine. They are both identical and are setup identically, so I dont know why this was happening. It only happened with Black 1.2, XML, and LVSW were fine.
I just now flashed Black V.2 and everything is running fine again.
Very strange... it seems to be the opposite of what happened to you.
What type of router?
I have a router at my office - MN-700 by Microsoft - that causes this problem with all versions of WM6. You will have to reboot both your cable/dsl modem and router and all will be fine. All will be fine until you re-connect your phone via your USB cable and re-sync. After that, you'll be back in the same boat and have to reboot the modem and router.
I have two routers at home - one by dlink and one by linksys - and neither have ever exhibited similar behavior. Therefore, I think it more a router (perhaps firewall?) problem, than a problem with WM6.
I'm now $.02 in the hole....

you can
Start->Settings->Connections(Tab)->Wireless LAN ->Power Mode->Best Performance
The Setting is Maybe fine.
There's loads of us happily wifi-ing with Black V2.
I look after hundreds of clients wireless networks... and you may not be surprised to learn that 99.9% of wep problems where it says "incorrect key" are caused by...wait for it... an incorrect key!
Don't cut and paste the key. TYpe it in manually.
However - other options:
Do you have mac filtering enabled on router?
Have you set your device to ask for a specific IP address?
Have you set the device to max performance?
Finally... change the SSID of your home network. All the mucking about you have done may have left some residual mess in the device registry and it is getting confused.
also before typing just check in a word if you are typing the key correct... maybe theres a problem with your hw keyboard... and you don't know it...

hmm...i recently upgraded from WM5 to WM6 LVSW0326 ROM and faced this same problem...same setup, same router, same WEP and it worked for a while ...then it died. Refused to connect.
i am sure the WEP is correct as i have the same key on my other wireless devices... and know what is even more interesting? i disable WEP and my device connects ok!
so i know it is not the router or the wifi protion of my hermes, more like the ROM is not sending the network key properly...even after asking for it several times!
anyone has a cab for just the wifi portion?
edit: never had this issue with WM5 even with WEP enabled!
I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM...
i tried to post my problem in the 1.2 and 2.0 forums, but no one could help ....
i found a weird round about way to make this work every once in a while...
i would go to my network adapters > IEEE wifi adapter > change the specific ip to one that i knew it would work from my router...
this would make it connect, but woudln't work right....
so then when i change it back to "use server-assigned IP"... it would pick up the right address from my router and work .... and all would be fine.... but then when i turned off wifi and tried again, it would fail again.
a problem i see is when it's trying to detect my network, the IP address in the grayed-out box reads (fe80::209:2dff:feef) but when it would work correctly, it would have a normal IP address....
maybe there's something in the writing to the wifi that's different in america???

It's work! Thanks!
I did try "This is hidden network" and all the others' suggestions! This is the simpliest and workable method!
Thx again! I can surf by wireless Lan again!
I wonder if MS have seriously reduced the power output on the wireless when its set to BEST BATTERY. It seems a) its set to that by default rather than in the middle and b) quite a few people are having problems with their wifi.
I have Belkin N1 router and it connected fine first time even on low power - and on BEST PERFORMANCE I pick up more of my neighbours SSID's than I used to with WM5
I've had most of the problems listed here.
The new LVSW now has this problem also but Vanilla works fine for me, old LVSW's, XDA Live. Upon changing the protocol the router uses I could connect on the first attempt, subsequent attempts would not work.
I have no trouble with the works router.
This seems to be something other than Microsoft, maybe worth asking LVSW what he did differently on his latest.
I have a cingular 8525 (WM5, and updated from cingular) which can connect on my wireless at work, but when I want to connect to my personal wireless at home it cannot connect, but it does for unlocked wireless around my appartment.
There's nothing wrong with my wireless system, because my laptop can connect all the time.
It keeps telling me that the password is wrong, but it's right because it works for my laptop.
A highly trained friend in computers tried to fix the problem and he doesn't understand why it doesn't connect, even if i leave my wireless unlocked.
My wireless is from comcast and it's a fast cable-DSL.
I'm thinking to download WM6 and see if it gets fixed...
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks!
I've experienced that too. Here's how I fix my problem.
1.set in PPC as hidden network.
2. Turn on WIFI, delete existing connections, then add new connection and assigned new key ( I use WEP) and that's it.
BTW. Did you set MAC filtering on your Router. If you do , you need to add the PPC MAC address to the router....
Good luck
I agree with pl55, however maybe you should post this in the main Hermes forum as this forum is for questions related to WM6...
Just a gentle suggestion
Mate,
There a few of us who have had strange things take place with wifi on the HTC handsets. Me being one of them. My wifi at home is 100% stable when it comes to pc's yet when it comes to my handheld it is completely unpredictable - until...........
I have just upgraded my ROM (again) to Black Shadow and all of the issues have gone away. I haven't even had to do anything extra. So what does this tell me????? It tells me that there are certain things in certain builds that cause anomolys problems.
I would give a different ROM a shot. I can vouch for the Black series but I am sure the others are equally good.
Before you do all of that, you might want to see if your handheld is actually seeing your SSID (if its not withheld) by using something other than the wifi software on the handset. Try something like wififofum (great little app).
Good luck.
Hi,
Data connection runs pretty well on my M3100 but not with two particular apps which are WLM and Resco FTP addin.
With WLAN, WLM works perfectly but not Resco FTP.
What should I do? hard reset?
Thanks for your answers.
I just went back from a hard reset and it has no effect...
im having the same concern actually. ive switched from 3g's latest rom to black satin from jasjamming and have the same concern with the Windows Live. the initial synch went fine and emails were deliverd. but, since then i get a synch failed message each time. if you figure it out, please let me know and i will do the same. thanks
Try messing arround with FTP parameters; try connect using passiv mode, ...
I've already tried this...as adviced on resco faq.
Nothing more...
Now Resco FTP works through WLAN, don't know really why but...it's ok
However that's still not working through Data.
Resco FTP and WLM do work with WLAN so this means that the real issue is the data connection.

how exactly would i go about changing the FTP parameters. i know it's the file transfer protocol but don't know where or how to mess with these parameters? thanks
I made it!!!
Everything works now.
Here is what I did :
First, remove the OrangeWorld connection w/proxy that Schap's tool auto generate and manualy create a new OrangeWorld connection w/o proxy.
Second, remove the specific connection for WLAN and AS that the wiki advices.
That's all !!!
ps: The first part is pretty specific to my carrier but maybe the second point will be enough to solve your problems.

ok, so excuse me guys. but, im still a little confused. i know where the WLAN connections are and the only one i see is the connection for media net. is there something im missing? could you give a more detailed description of what you did second? and sorry im not grasping what you are advising of : )
If you look in the wiki for schap's 3.54b rom :
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Cooked_ROMs_QA_Schaps357b
It is said that to solve the connection issue with WLAN and AS you have to create another connection.
I did that and in fact this was the cause of my problems.
I removed this connection and now everything's fine. But if you did not create this connection then I believe your problem deals with something else, maybe your carrier settings.
ok,thanks much.
I have been flashing a few 2.03 ROMs in the last few days and in all of them I find the same malfunction. I first tried with a few cooked ROMs and finally also with the stock one, same result.
Problem is with setting a static IP in WIFI. At first, it works all fine. However, soon after disconetting WIFI, you get the surprise of being unable to use the data connection over GPRS. I have trying everything (dunno how many soft- and hard-resets, even changing radio's), the only solution I have been able to find was simply that of deleting all parameters referring to the WIFI connection (including hence the static ip). By doing that, all gets back to normal. Simple solution but kind of annoying if everytime I want to use WIFI and static-IP (quite often in my case) I have to set all parameters again and again. I am now back to a 2.00 ROM which has not this problem.
Any chance someone can suggest a more elegant and stable solution?
cheers, much appreciated
Same problem here.
best regards
Got the same problem
Got the same problem here: running Dutty's V4 ROM I can't connect if I have a static ip address listed for my WIFI connection. I did have the same issue once before on a 1.93 ROM which was fixed by a hard reset, but no joy with that this time.
bump! so many new good roms flying around... i wonder whether this bug with WiFi/staticIP has been fixed. ???
thanx

Can you explain more?
How can I set default connection?
Thanks
well u can use wi-fi profiles, to make profiles for each ESSID with the static ip and wep key if any, i have 4 profiles each with different statics ip's and keys. and when using gprs, i just click on dhcp only and voila. altho i didnt had the problem with static + gprs data, i'm not using gprs so much, but still i think this is a good solution, will upload cab tomorow here ( i found it on this forum somewhere cant remember exactly) cheers

i had the same problem, thx for the cab, works until somebody will fix this problem...
today I've tried to make a rom with new wm build and eom and drivers from 2.00 (which don't have this problem) but gprs doesn't work with static ip... so i think it is caused from last wm build... damn microsoft
I'm having a similar problem - I have a static IP and can not connect to wi-fi unless connected to activesync...
Can the wifi profiles program help? If so what do I have to do on it? Do I have to change any values?
Any other ideas?
His!…
the same problem with Touch PRO from the update of ROM.
Installing the old ROM it even follows the problem.
Greetings
I have the same problem as well. I can connect to wifi at home with or without activesync , but sometime I can't connect free wifi at Mcdonald or car wash. Can someone help pointing out problem? or setting I need to do. Many thanks
I'm having the same problem with wm 6.1 build 21043, this sucks so much. I thought it was a problem with the hardware in the Diamond at first, but so many other people are having it that it's more than likely a problem with Windows Mobile.
Any fixes?

Turn on DHCP server on, that means AP will gives you automatically IP, and you can use wireless connection...
In options in "select networks" , select "my work" or something similarly, don't use ISP!
I don't have problem with active DHCP server on my HTC diamond, and i can use everywhere wireless connection...
I use Cloudy1.1 rom
