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?...
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..

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 ..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
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
A relevant question
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?

Hello everybody,
I'm using WM6 for Hermes LVSW Edition (2007-03-26). And suddenly I've got several problem with my phone:
Sometimes it wont start after a soft-reset
Sometimes it freezes after a period of time
Sometimes I cannot end calls. Press red phone button onscreen, or hardwarekey
Sometimes when I open Device Information, Radio version and Protocol version are empty
A lot of sometimes, so I didnt know exactly what to do but I tried a lot of thing to solve it:
Reflash and reinstall all my software (SPB Pocket plus, Tomtom, Resco Explorer)
Reflash ROM and leave it without other software
Hard reset
Finally I tried flashing de Radio-Rom with version 1.38.30.10. And it hassen't crash for 2 hours! Wow!
Does anybody experience the same problems?
I had this issue with previous versions of WM6 but with LVSW 26-03 and WM Black 2.0 don`t have problems at all
Regards,
Primoz
I've had problems with both
It only happen 3 times since it came out. Oh well, beta stage ROM is usually like this. Same as Vista beta test.

I would suggest that you flash first Radio V 1.38.00.10 then do a hardreset then install LVSW again. And then you should test it some days without installing any additional software - especially those three you mentioned. For me and my unbranded HTC Tytn LVSW and Black 2.0 worked great without any bigger issue.
Another issue
Another issue: When I call myself (Something I don't very often ) i got redirected to my voicemail even though my phone says I've got good reception! After that happened, my phone went to no service and up to good reception in 2 seconds.

What is wrong with 1.38.30.10?
According to a lot of posts here and in some other forums its draining the battery very fast.
And referring to your "selfcalling" problem: Every once in a while I notice the same with my SE P910 so I think its a provider problem. Sometimes I got the message "new voicemailmessage" although my phone showed me full reception.
Yes! So i am not going mad.
Well i was running 1.38.30.10 and i was receiving same problems. (My phone has full reception and callers kept getting forwarded to voice mail. Even SMS's wouldnt go through)
I changed over to 1.38.00.11 and its working fine for 2 days now.
I am running XDA .20 if that helps.

I have had this issue with every rom on my device. It happened with the stock Cingular rom and every rom I have flashed since then. It doesn't happen every call but does happen at least once a day for me. Not a big deal but kind of annoying when it happens.

suggest you try the genuine hermes radio instead, 1.38.00.10. It MAY be something to do with being a trin radio, or even try the newer 1.38.30.10?

im going to give this ROM just a few more days of testing before i flash another one on...
i would blame this all on the radio.. i experience the very same issue on wm5 roms and i am using 1.35.00.11 radio, have tried the 2 different 1.38's and still had the problem.. i didnt have this problem on 1.33 but the reception was horrible... so i picked the lesser of the evils and stuck with 1.35.....

Same experience, the radio to take me less problem level was 1.34.
1.38 was very bad, lot of call lossed, sms lossed. 1.35 was not so bad, but lost same calls. 1.34 works fine (or as fine as it can) and better than 1.33.
So far im happy with my RADIO (check my sig). Havent ahd any of those issues, and trust me i had many of them. Business clients would complain to me why my phone was off all day long, when in actual fact i had full signal!!!
Anyway, will let ya know if something goes funny with this RADIO..

okay, this radio sucks...i have full bars right now, and when i called my self it went straight to voicemail...i have to travel next week, i dont have time to test a good radio, can anyone recommend me one? how is 1.34?
Hi there all,
I've installed one of the WM6 cooked roms and have experienced problems with my WiFi and connecting to available hot spots. Before you flame me I have tried the search function but to no avail... could some one tell me if there is a rom which does not cause this issue? Is there a fix?

That thread's all about what to do if you already have the problem (summary... wait). He's looking to avoid the problem in the first place. Seems that now that they know the cause, if not the cure, someone might know what's ROM or procedure is causing the issue for so many people.
Pointed him there as that is most likely where the "cure" AND other information can be found about this issue (ie: don't load this ROM or whatever...).
Thanks Dave for clearing that with Jeffrey. The issue is my wireless lan works on the original os and has not vanished like the others. I was just wondering if there was a version of WM6 for the Jasjam that did not create the issue with the wifi connection. The only issue being it does not connect like to any of the discovered hot spots...
From what I have read the problem is mostly in the latest releases. For example you might want to check the LVSW 07/05 thread as I don't think it had the wifi problem.
it seems all trial and error.. I'm currently (well still actually) using the latest LVSW and i dont have any serious trouble. The one thing was that it wouldnt connect right after the flash but it did after the device detected the network .. No logic there i know
Ye i need to fix my sig
hi all, sorry to be a pain but will LVSW 5/19 update potentially cause any wifi probelms coz i am about to update mine and my gf's and i dont want to get *****ed at. if you know what i mean -.-;

Although no one can say for sure how your phone and the software you use will work with a specific ROM, the best thing you can do is read the thread specific to that ROM and see what others are saying.
So far I've installed Black 2.5, Black 3.01 and LVSW 5/19 and all of them have given me issues with wifi. My wifi still works but it is highly picky with what AP it will talk to.
With the original WM5 I would regularly connect to at least 6 AP's at various places and now with WM6 using the above mentioned flavours it will only connect to one of them.
I have not gone back to the original WM5 to be 100% sure but if the full RTM HERMES specific WM6 still has troubles then I will be most disappointed.
First of all this community has helped me tremendously in setting up my Cingular 8525 with WM6 and all th tweaks and tricks. I have been browsing and reading these forums for about 3 months now.
I am running Schaps 3.60a rom for sometime now and everything has been great. Recently I added the medianet data plan and my data works fine, but I have a problem with turning bluetooth on. when I try to turn bluetooth on either via com-manager or through settings, it doesn't do anything. If I turn bluetooth on via com manager and then soft reset, then when the phone turns on, bluetooth is switched on. Any reason or fix for this? I have searched, but could not find anything on this issue.
Dunno if you are using Phoneweaver but it happens on my phone with phoneweaver
no, I am not using phone weaver. if it happens with phone weaver, then I assume it might be one of my installed programs causing it. I'll uninstall installed programs, one by one and check what is causing the error, and report back.
its gone from bad to worse, I cannot turn on bluetooth at all now. Not even with a soft-reset. looks a hard reset is needed
Its know Problem
He will fix it with his new rom.. its a known problem with 3.06a so you hve to deal with it now or try the previous rom 3.54. I cant wait till his new rom comes out I think theres a beta now but wait for the full release
i am facing the same problem here... my case is a bit tricky... after i hard reset and installed all the program i need, my bluetooth still working until i setup my Windows Live.
i turn off the Windows Live for today. it works fine for few days... the problem occurs again... now i had no idea how this problem happened. What I did to fix this is to switch to Dopod official ROM...

this has helped fix the same problem on my t mobile mda II runing Schaps 3.60a rom. Thanks
Just upgrade to Schaps 4.01
i have gave up on the location feature i have tried everything and it just seems that it just not working here in San Juan, Puerto Rico for some reason it use to work before but apparently not any more if any one know what else can i do let me know, things i have tried:
1. different radio
2. use task29 before flashing
3. go back to original shipped ROM and flash a custom rom without using task29
4. lot of registry hacks related to location settings
5. different agps settings
...... any other suggestions???
You are not alone with this problem, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6118508 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=662178
So it seems to be a wider problem :-(
I wrote to HTC support 3 times in last 2 weeks about this problem, but till now no response from them. Maybe you should also send a question to HTC about this issue.
any one with a new solution?
I wrote to HTC support but without any reasonable answer or solution :-(. Maybe you should do the same and everybody who has such a problem. that should be a way to create some pressure on HTC.
Yeah I had this problem too... 3 things... Find the "QuickGPS" update... settings > location settings... htc location service (checked) and turned on, google location service turned on.
then if all else fails try this .cab from this thread on HTCPedia
http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=888
This will usually get the weather working which is a sure sign GPS is working!

So I am not sure how to turn on google location service. So, I don't know if that is still causing me to not update location.
I did install your cab to main memory and soft reset the phone, but I had no luck.
I am running an Energy 23557 Sense 2.5 cookie home tab Apr 14 Rom. Please, please help. I have seen this my location work 1 time. I have absolutely no idea how it did and cannot get it to do it again, any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Update
I am a moron, I have been avoiding flashing a new radio, cause I am weird when it comes to things I haven't tried before, but now my location works.
I flashed the 4.49.25.57 radio for T-Mobile and now my location updates perfectly. Thanks to all that have put up posts on this site.
Below is the link for the page that shows all the newer radios. After much thought and listening to others who have flashed new radios. Everyone needs to do this. The stock radios SUCK.

Are you still running the original tmobile 6.1 ROM? I certainly understand if you are (I only recently stepped to 6.5 myself)...but the .57 radio is the one that comes standard on the tmo 6.5 upgrade, so most tmo users probably have it already. However, I've heard of the .57 giving the same improvements to Tilt2 and custom ROM users as well...so for any GSM users wanting to try other radios, that is proably the best one to start with.
Yes Sir

Yeah, check my sig. I am running a newer Energy ROM and it doesn't come with the radio we're talking about. But, yeah, this IS totally the best radio out there, hands down, if you are a T-Mo user at least.

Did you happen to notice any improvement in your GPS reception after you flashed the new radio? I'm suspecting that the reason the new radio cleared up the my location issue is because of better GPS performance.

I noticed a dramatic improvement. I don't have the lag behind issue. Not that it was much when driving, but now it's basically non existant. My google maps, bing, trapster, weather radar, all of them find my gps signal 100 times faster than before. It's truly amazing to me how much difference a new radio makes.

You may have seen it already, but make sure you check out my thread about the cab I found to fine-tune GPS for tmo users. It sounds like you may have it dialed in ok already, but this is just one more way to help get optiumum results
I think I found the sollution for this problem.
1: Go to settings tab
2: Go to more
3 Go to connections
4: Click on connections
5: Click on excisting connections
6: click on edit
7: Click next
8: Delete the name of your portal (portalmmm or something like that, it ends with mmm, thats what i remembered)
9: click next
10: click finish.
Now just update your gps using quickgps, and if all is well, the gps should work again!
Goodluck!
Hi All:
After seaching the forums all day and trying to decipher whats going on, I have to resort to noobish actions by posting a new thread.
What I have is a Kaiser, NAND flashed to Thoughtlesskyle's not so super froyo RLS18, radio ROM has been flashed from 1.70 to 1.65 and back twice, all "androidupdate.tar" files installed for the issue I'm having, and it seems to be Froyo related as I wasn't having this issue with Eclair builds.
Essentially, I don't have a data plan and would like to use the WiFi on the Kaiser, but even after Kernel replacements and ROM flashes across builds (I thought "Super Froyo" from Incubus26Jc was kinda cool, even tried a gingerbread build), I have yet to get it to work.
My guess is there's something going on in the wifi script that I'm not seeing. It has been replaced and still has an issue. I only get "Error" after trying to start it.
If anyone has a spare finger to point me in the right direction, I would be greatly appreciative. The little woman is getting lonely waiting for me to finish this...
I'm guessing by the views that this is either a still ongoing problem, or someone wanted to see what the noob posted...lol.
With an average 5 views per hour though, I would think some people are still searching for an answer.
It is strange, after my first installation, I already had the wifi, without any problem..
Maybe you have a wrong kernel, or a wrong radio? I don't know.
I will upload you my SDCard folder, then you could give it a try..
I will edit this message and give you the link when it is done
EDIT : Here we go ! http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9CBZ29P2
Wifi not working can be kernel based prob and build based too.. i suggest get a latest kernel from Kernel thread and try using another build.. mine was working fine till i used android i dont anymore coz it sucks the battery out.. still best of luck to u hope u get it to work
Ok, i got it to work... Thanks anyway Zebra...
What it turned out to be was an update overwrote another update and reinstalled the "bad" wifi script. I reinstalled the update and got it going.
BTW, I did happen to find a hardware clocking script with the wifi fix included, but the Kaiser doesn't support 600MHz clockspeeds...PFFT.
Battery has been fine for 2 days with moderate/heavy use (pandora/market/browser/txt/phone). The battery is a 1350mah type and I'm got around 11 hours on day one and so far I'm at 56% today. My day starts at 5am, and my old i930 is usually dead by now.
