having problem when trying to enble Wifi and Bluetooth after upgrading to WM 6 - JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development

I believe most people face this problem. I hv no solution to it, but I personally believe this is not a hardware prob and it can be solved. Hope to start this thread so everyone can discuss this together and come up with something.

got this from other thread...

put registry editor shortcut in \windows\startup
put wififix.reg in \Program Files
all this does is set the HTCPreloadwifi=1 everytime i need to reset my device. i think the problem is the value was resetted to 0 everytime you reset your device. That's why the wifi doesnt work. not sure if this works for everyone. but for me its working nearly everytime.

is this a good idea?

Pehaps it is useful to give some more specific details. Indeed there are several users that run in to these problems, but many more (including myself) never experienced any misbehaviour whatsoever. There must be a difference somewhere.....

i faced the prob which when u set the HTCPreloadwifi to 1, it revert back to 0 after soft reset. then i found that this is actually bcoz of the file "WiFiInit", which is in the startup. so i removed it from the startup, set the HTCPreloadwifi to 1, then power off and on it instead of soft reset (soft reset might work, just play safe.)

rondol1, will you stay here in this thread. who knows, we might spot the difference between your "working" device and our "half-working" device. appreciate that.

The point is, I never changed anything after flashing the ROM and WIFI works right away. I have noticed that with WEP encryption enabled things don't go that smooth. Without security OR with WPA enabled, I don't experience any problems with WIFI. About Bluetooth, I really don't use it, only to connect my TomTom GPS receiver and that give no problem whatsoever. But that comparison isn't fair, cos the TomTom app takes care of it by itself, without the general WM6 settings.
Perhaps it's good to mention that I use the latest WM6 builds, I red your post in some threads from older ROM's too. Could be that those earlier release had more bugs on this point.

i'm using Fantastic Mobiz v2.0b4....actually wanna to load up other new wm6, but instead of avoiding, i think we shd try to solve the problem..
anyway, i am thinking about whether there is anything wrong with the registry that caused the prob, or any 3rd party software that is interrupting the bluetooth's functioning. is there any way to "compare" the registries?

I don't know, but I hardly use any 3d-party software. And about solving the probs on early WM6 builds: isn't that a Microsoft job? If there is a problem in the OS, we don't gonna solve it by changing some regs!

haha...ya...but i meant a cooked version of wm6. the developer might hv added something which works on his but not on others. any assumption hv to take into consideration. i guess that is how most probs are solved.

seems like no one patronize this thread...ahah , anyway i will still try to update what i've discovered until the next version of rom is up. who knows, people might be desperate and found this thread. i just hope someone will join in the discussion or i will look like a bloody fool who participates in my own thread.
right now, i insert btdwake and btlauncher to my startup folder. it works most of the time (not sure it works bcoz of the files that i put in the startup folder).
i still think that it might be a registry problem. will compare the registry with a working set's one of these days.

I've got also a problem when trying to enble Wifi, what you've done exactly? Does it works?

hi Gaexu. well...it is easy to make things work, but problem lies on the steps that make them work. enabling my wifi is fine, but not perfect.
I suppose your prob is when u go to comm manager, click on the "Wlan", then u see the radar (loading), after that, nothing happened, the icon still show the grey icon with the cross.
steps:
1.)first you gotta remove a file called "WiFiInit" from \windows\startup\ folder.
2.)next, go to the registry using PHM Registry Editor. go to HKLM\Comm\TNETWLN1\Parms, there are 2 reg dwords - "HTCPreloadStatus" and 'HTCPreloadWifi". change their value to "1".
3.)power off the device and on it back.
the reason to remove "WiFiInit" from startup is bcoz it seems to cause "HTCPreloadStatus" value to revert back to "0" after a soft reset. actually i've remove a few more things from startup, but i dun think there is any "linkage".
sorry about this, but don't expect the wifi to be enabled as easy before upgrading (at least not for me). to enable the wifi for the first time (after you soft reset everytime), go to comm manager, click on WLAN. then the radar thingy comes out, rotate a few round and disappear. while it is rotating, observe the "G" on top, it changes to the wifi icon and revert back to the "G". that means wifi is detected. click on WLAN again, and same thing will happen. now, push the on/off button to black out the screen(standby mode) and turn on again. wifi comes alive.
i am too long winded. this is my first time in my life typing more than 6 lines in a forum. do let me know if it doesn't work. good luck.

Thanks for your help
The Wifi works, but just for about 30seconds or 1minute... then it turns off
does anyone know this problem?
I will try it again and again,
thanks

hv u change the value in the registry?

Yes, "HTCPreloadStatus" and 'HTCPreloadWifi" have the decimal value 1.
HTCResumeWifi = 0
I will retry it with another network (not the one from my University) maybe it works...

Gaexu, so how's your bluetooth? working perfectly?

i looked through the registry and found that many of the bluetooth keys are incomplete after comparing with other devices...but i need to extract more info from a workin prophet...

Hi scarymoviesg
Now my Wifi works perfekt (not with the one from the University but with all the others)
Thanks a lot!!!!!

WM6 Essentials ROM Free discussion

Hi, this thread is here for posts that has no room in technical discussion related to this rom. From tech discussion, irrelevent posts will be deleted without excuse, without reason. So here's the correct place for them...
Well done
I just wanted to say well done for the new fast clean rom. I'm finally over 2.5!
Everything I need to work works and well and fast. Thankyou !
Now how do we get the touch interface on the Charmer as they seem to be getting working on the Prophet??? Maybe wrong place to ask, will wait. In the meantime, thankyou again.
the bt works fine with car set

nice to hear...go on with testing
WIFI confirmed
WIFI SDIO function has been confirmed by beta tester, loskarlitos - with some limitations like control panel not working , WIFI connection has been confirmed as stable and able to survive standby mode
Thanks Loskarlitos!
Excellent, a new rom to try!!
I can't believe I have only just found this. I could have been playing with it this evening. Its a little late to start messing now!!!
Thanks for all the hard work Nocturne.

i think the wifi control panel only works with built in hardware. thats why its removed from the official charmer roms.
hope you are right. i wil think about removal of it for the next ver.

I dont know if that's such a good idea. Some people use SDIO wifi cards and find those wifi settings useful.

as reported from my beta man, loskarlitos, and as reported above, this wifi settings applet seems to be working only with built-in wifi modules, settings are inactive for sdio cards.
Wifi SDIO owners, please share your experineces - than i can build fully functional rom stripped down from useless parts
Hi,
first of all amazing rom. Really really fast. It syncs great under Vista. To flash from Vista you have to use the "Another Flash Method". I encountered no problems with the 12 apps running, alarm or landscape problem.
Only the Calender and Contact buttons are still hardcoded to Start and Back.
problem with alarm was solved - it was really caused by underclocking charmer down to 95mhz (I'm using BatteryStatus for dynamic overclocking. 95MHz is simply not enough power to bring alarm window up and system behaves strange)
problem with changing landscape/portrait disappeared and never came back - but will keep it in buglist until this is really confirmed
lagge number of running apps stil remains - if lot of apps running, softkeys are not working as they should...hope somebody could try this on another wm6 device?
Calendar and Contacts issue
Been testing this rom for a day or two - I get the problem where Calendar and contacts won't start (whether from soft keys or the Start menu) and I have to soft-reset to egt it working. I admit I have been using iContact as well so I will uninstall that for a few days and see if the problem goes away.
closing some apps does not help? it helps for me...
customization?
Hi, when i flash yours new rom and make HR system was start and customization from old wm5 was started. In rom 4.4 customization was not started after HR, is this was changed in this release?
sorry for my english....
This was reported and will be modyfied in next ver. Till then, just skip the customization after HR
Ring tone changes....
Hi, next thing is that my ring tone changes to default without my command. I've seen this before in previous roms but in 4.4 it was ok.
I installed this last night. Seems nice and fast.
I noticed that the phone pad SIP and MMS are missing. (Installed these manually)
Also, i'm afraid the Bluetooth A2DP appears to still be the older, poorer quality version.
Cheers
phonepad sip is missing because i don't like it - it is not necessary. everybody can install it easily manually. but it will not eat precious memmory for us who does not use it ,-)
MMS support is there - no problem with it, thing you report is a bit strange...
it's hard with A2DP. Some testers were reporting it's the best A2dp they have seen - you tell the opposite. The worst thing is that i cannot test it - i do not have a2dp device :-( is possible that transfer quality is also dependent on used HW?
regarding those ringtone changes - i was testing this today (about 10 calls, some restarts etc - no problem. aren't you using any 3rd party software for phone profiles or things like that? I saw this with pocket zen phone..if not, try please to search for some dependency of this behavior so i can repair it
Thanks Nocturne.
I'm really starting to think I've flashed the wrong ROM. I've got so many on my PC now.
Can you confirm what I should be seeing under Device Information?
Thanks

questions after upgrading to WM6

1. A2DP icon missing
I want to re-direct skype audio to my bluetooth earphone. How can I do that?
2. I can not login MSN/windows alive though skype can login without any problem via WIFI. Seems MSN try to get online through different connection setting? how/where can I define the connection setting for MSN?
3. Phone module die without any sign. All incoming call is diverted to voice mail automatically until soft reset. As if the phone is switched off.
(I am not sure whether this is WM6 related)
this means you might miss important call without any sign!
Does anybody have same experience?
1) I dont think that was ever a default thing? Did you install something and forget? have a cooked rom? There are A2DP solutions in this forum, "Use the Search luke."
2) No, its shagged. I installed the windowslive50.cab file I had on universal, it works now.
3) No idea, mine works fine. Hard reset? Check your sim?
I can get online with my WLM but it does sometimes take a resync of the whole account to do it.
Skype did say (unless changed recently) that they were still working on transferring calls to bt headsets. Which means, currently, that it does not work through anything other than headphones and the mic on the phone.
Comm Manager
Hello,
It is possible to change the green color from the Comm Manager ?
Thanks
French Keyboard
I have upgraded my french Advantage and all is OK apart for keyboard layout. On my old Universal (also french keyboard) I had changes the registry for hklm/software/oem/qwerty layout to 1040C (hex) and it had worked.
On the advantage this does not seem to change anything, any ideas?
Also has anyone got integrated VoIP working? I have used a CAB file from Universal to activate it and SIP Config Tool to do the set up but it does not allow me to select VoIP from today menu.
Anyone got this set up and working? Integrated VoIP is the reason I upgraded to WM6!
Messenger Etc....
Live Messenger stops working correctly after a soft reset. Initially it works fine. Contacts show as offline, although they are still able to contact me and vice-versa.
As far as I can ascertain push email still functions correctly.
I cannot confirm whether this is related to MS's side (rather than the program) as I haven't had chance to check if anyone else experiences the same problems.
Have tried installing the separate CAB file but I am subsequently told that I do not have the necessary permissions (or something like that).
This comes from tests on a T-Mobile branded Ameo (not the brand new one I'm selling, if anyone decides to cross-check!)
I haven't come across any other problems. Seems a bit less laggy than the original T-Mobile ROM, loads up web pages slightly faster too it seems.
No other issues as yet.
Ive had no probs at all since installing the messenger cab.
Still using it now.
Do we know what version of WLM is on this new ROM?
I've pulled \windows\wlmmessenger.exe to desktop and looked at the Version tab...10.6.28.2700 is what comes out.
Pyrofer - can you do the same on your cabbed version and let me know what the version number says? Not always an accurate guide but worth a shot. Also the digital signature is 3rd May 07.
Cheers
Ant
EDIT - never mind, just seen ur post in general Athena tab...10.6.0026.1400
I wonder what is different? If anything? I also wonder whether this is actually a final release of the ROM that's just been leaked early, as WLM is a pretty central component to web using Athena owners (myself very much included) and for it not to work after a soft reset...hmm.
Hi royalmail,
I've got exactly the same problem you mention about the phone.
I was unable to answer calls.
So I belive you've use the second file to upgrade to WM6 (HTC001 ... with ipl...).
You have to go back to WM5 WWE using the last ROM posted in the Athena upload folder in the XDA FTP. After flashing your Athena to WM5, Use the first ROM posted (the one with a readme file included).
And voila! No problem at all since I've done it this morning, everything works fine!
Hope this helps!
Hi Thibale,
I flashed with the t-mobile version. the phone dead only once so far, though i am not sure it's caused by WM6. Anyway, thx for sharing your info.

Great release but I found some bugs:
1.
When I hang up an incoming call on my bluetooth headset the customised ringtone is back to standard????
2.
When I hang up an incoming call on my bluetooth headset the volume is set to zero and I have to manually turn it back on....
3.
Wifi is not working with my current radio 1.57.00.
Cheers and any fixes are welcome,

All of the above problems are still here after a hard reset......any suggestions?
I have the problem that the icons in the sms/mms textmessage not work. Realvga is a just in 96 dpi. By other DPi standaards i don't have that problem I have no problem with other things.
Media Player hangs the device if try and start it
96dpi

Before reporting bugs, please ensure you're on the new ROM then hard reset. You should perform a hard reset regardless of bugs or not to avoid some issues. Hope this helps some. Also, please update your posts and let others know if you actually did a hard reset after flashing and confirming the 4.0 installation or if the bug was discovered without doing the hard reset.

its supposed to be like that. it assumes that if you are answering it from the phone and not the headset then you don't want the headset.
Small things:
-No automatic softreset after HR configuration. Is this normal, or is this aborted because of No SIM-Card screen (cancel)? Did HR with SIM Card and still no automatic Softreset like usual.
-Device popups (start menu) do have a small delay. Is this normal?

the no softreset is a new feature. i cooked in EVERYTHING.
the delay could be because its loading the new enlarged start menu. if u dont mind that then leave it. if u want the regular menu in settings ull have the turn off or in the config app.

First impression? amazing even if wifi isn't working and media player crashes it.
Made a hard reset immediately after, radio 1.50, x7500, 96dpi, xp pro sp2.
I'll come back if i have more issues.
Officially now, as activesync and bt8010 declare, i have an x7510
Thank you all girls and boys

Skype
Under AP4 could not start Skype. Internet connection ok.
anyone with wifi issues
I want to ask you a few questions
- does the wifi totally refuse to turn on?
- if yes, then, when flashing AP4, did you have an interrupted flash? in this case, please describe me exactly when the interruption happened and how.
also, in this case contact me on IRC at http://java.freenode.net/ (channel name should be xda-devs, and pick a nickname as well). but a program will soon be available to make the fix easier and it can be published so I won't need to help personally.
- if it does turn on, then just check your wifi settings, you set up something wrong.
Issue: dealing with menus.
The issue is when I open a menu, by defult I should be able to press certain bottons on the keyboard in order to choose certain options. For example, when I attempt opening a video in TCPMP I would press file on the screen then press the letter "O" from the keyboard in order to access the option "Open".
It doesn't work in AP4.
Hardrested after the update.

Won't answer incoming calls

Has anyone else had this problem and/or found a solution? I have searched the threads but haven't seen anyone mention it. I have the Sprint TP and when I have an incoming call pressing the onscreen or hardware button does nothing to answer the phone. I can press a million times, but the phone doesn't pick-up. Any help would be appreciated.
Do you have stock ROM?
Have you tried soft and hard resets?
If it is stock and have tried hard reset, time for replace.
I dont know if you posted on PPC Geeks too, but someone over there was having the same problem. I had this problem as well, and it would only happen when a data connection was established. I just had to hard reset because I couldn't find any type of fix for it.
Yeah, I also posted on ppcgeeks. I think the problem is with Diamond Tweaks. Apparently it does something that changes the amount of time it take to stop a data connection when a call is coming in. Not sure which of the "Tweaks" that I changed made that a problem. eenieMINI directed me to this post that is supposed to hold a solution:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=458469&postcount=1
This fix will make your data connection always on
^^ no it wont...but it is the fix...I had the same problem.
I tried the cab file that was part of the thread in ppc geeks mentioned above and I am still having the problem. I do not have any tweaks on my phone, just the stock ROM and emoze, so that I can have push for my gmail.
I am a complete novice and would appreciate any help that can be offered with this. Also, when I disconnect emoze my phone works perfectly, so I know that it is the problem. I have contacted emoze but they have not answered.

I had this problem start manifesting itself when I installed Advanced Configuration (originally made for the Diamond) and tried everthing to fix it. Even setting all the settings back to default and removing the app didn't fix it. The only true fix was to do a hard reset. I havent had the problem ever since and have been using a registry editor to make the changes I wanted to do through Advanced Configuration Tool. I think because it's not 100% made for the Raphael it's making registry changes that don't necessarily apply to our phones. I dunno, that's my speculation.
I thought the directions on ppcgeeks was
straight forward. Go back to the link posted above and follow the directions. I would suggest printing them first id you are nervous. This was my first only reg edit (so far).

I had the same problem on the Touch Pro and on my previous Touch. Once Advanced Configuration was installed, I had major problems answering phone calls. Hard reset (and not reinstalling Advanced Config) solved the problem.

ok, try it and share here, maybe it can make us nike user more familiar with android
Nice... But!
Nice one there. There is seems problem with the hardware keypad. The hardawre keypad works though keypad #1 when pressed twice sleeps nike. Maybe the said button is mapped for that function. Better if we can bring it back to the original function. Thanks again.
uhm...
Hey,
I copied everything onto my SDcard, into the /andboot directory
Haret.exe starts, holding the D-pad...Linux starts etc, but...then it hangs with an error "sh: 2 unkown operand
losetup: /dev/block/loop1: No such file or directory
Failed
Failed to reach system.img on SD card"
And from there on every button I press gives my weird syntax...
anybody knows what I'm doing wrong..?
Installed on ext2 partitions, now take some tests on my nike 100.
Problems I found:
- On boot I have Voice Search not responding.
- If I try to set mms settings the apn disappear (i use Wind in Italy), setting only apn and name work (i'm syncronizing with gmail)
Thanks a lot for this tutorial!
Many thanks for this post.
Three questions:
You are using kernel with vibration for niki200/300 on your nike100 and your screen dont freeze?
What's the problem with data connections?
It's android 1.6?
Regards!

what do you mean by keypad #1? hardware numeric and alphabetically works on me.
and the android device keypad is different with winmo, in android there are back, menu, end key (CMIIW). so we need to map our device keypad to android one

The APN editing issue is caused from the paid market enabler script that is running as a service. It is trumping changes made to the APN list.
I am going to talk to dzo about making the same changes he made in the Donut ril for me. This should hopefully eliminate this issue.
The Voice Search Wait/Force close on start is a known issue and unfortunately in this build is more of an annoyance. For now just click the "Wait" button.
Okay, tested it today almost the whole day, started with full battery at 08.00, very surprised about the graphics and the response of my Niki, lot's of stuff are working, internet connection worked, hardware keypad was working normally, Gmail working, incoming and outgoing call's working, sms working.
Only tested those things because it's a phone and those things are the most important for a phone (my opinion).
Try to acces my sim-card to add contacts but wasn't able to do that.
Okay at 19.45 my battery is empty, be aware my battery is 3 years old.
Conclusion, for me it is a perfect working phone, sometimes you need a little bit patience to let the phone do his job.
Thanks youngsien
Any chance of getting CDMA functionality for this?

I've tried after I read this reply , ( try to hold d-pad or oress it twice)...
It's still not work.
maybe we need the file = "system.img") that not provided on sdcard.

hey, the creator Myn is here, is it ok if i post your build in here? i hope nike user can has some fun to get android run on their device.
Can you please talk to dzo to make bluetooth enable for nike too? i think this is the minus one for nike user, kaiser and polaris even can use wifi and bluetooth but for us nike user, we don't have wifi but we can't use bluetooth also
will wait for your next release. thanks.

no, system.img is created in /andboot when installing, no need to copy file "system.img". here is the step i usually use. when starting haret and hit run, lot of text (linux boot style) come out. ok from now press and hold center d-pad, after some page it will halt with the message "press center d-pad to....." then release your 1st d-pad hold then press and hold once again. you should see some weird code on your screen but that's ok. after that you will come to installer screen to make system.img and data.img on your sd.
hope you understand, sorry for my english
thanks

Darn.
I think it actually already has CDMA functionality since this came from the Vogue thread, but I'm not unsure as to how to get the default.txt file right so that it will boot. Does anybody know of a guide to the the android linux boot commands? It's possible that the devices differ enough to require some different commands.

theoritically is right, but i don't know about that, do you ever asked mblaster on his nike myn donut thread?he is more master in this, because he can compile zimage kernel for nike. maybe he know the answer.
Hi all, I've tested yesterday and this morning...
I found it unstable, after I have set the apn I tried to sync with gmail accont, but never work (always "problem with the sync" reported).
Sending and receiving sms work, make calls work difficult, sometimes i heard but on the other side doesn't hear me.
I try to reinstall and don't set the APN, but anything solved.
Last, after reinstall, when I call it goes to sleep mode but no more wake up (using camera button twice, or other buttons).
I'll do more test, hope this can help.
Bye
p.s. sorry, I speak english only a little bit
Hi all,
Nice build...
Anyway, although it's very hard to resist, imho it's a good idea to wait a few more days until Myn releases the next Versions. If you follow the original Thread in the Vogue forum, you'll see that there are still a lot of problems even for the Vogue Users. For that reason it's probably a good idea to wait until the big one's have been fixed...
