2 Himalayas, weird GPRS hardware prob?.. - General Topics

Hi,
very weird GPRS internet problem here, I have two Himalayas on O2, have cloned the ROM (using SPB clone) onto both phones so both identical software, radio version, settings etc.
One of them will connect to O2 PAYG GPRS, always has.. setting from this site worked no prob. Other phone connects, then says "The page you are looking for cannot be found" in IE.
So (because the one that works has dings and scratches and I assumed the hardware was at fault on the other) I swapped the insides around. The only part I swapped was the main circuit board. But when I put the circuit board from the WORKING XDAII into the non-scratched covers of the NON-WORKING one it no longer works!!?! And the other phone now does work! Is some important GPRS chip located on the touch-screen/front cover part or something?
Very hard to figure out........ anyone familiar with that error in IE, when connection settings are definitely correct??
ROM 1.60.00WWE (have tried others)
Radio version 1.10.00 (have tried others - no difference)
Protocol 1337.18
ExtROM 1.60.50

Please Help - Wifi Disabled

I jsut dicovered my new G4's wifi has been disabled by operator. Can anyone help to activate it? There is a red cross over the comm manager on today screen. Please help!!
Do I feel silly or what.
I got rid of the icon (and the whole tray) so I didn't remember, but the cross just means your WiFi is off (not flight mode as I said earlier), which is the default state. Open the comm manager (you can use the button on the left side of the phone) and tap the antenna icon. this will turn WiFi on.
Just in case I am wrong (phone operators don't like devices with WiFi because it reduces data usage by customers) hard reset your phone and quickly soft reset before customization is installed (there should be a 3 second countdown).
What the above poster said.
Or perhaps flash your phone with a new/clean ROM from e.g. qtek. (here)
But flashing the device is not really everyone their thing, so you need to figure out whether you wanna do that at all. Giving it a hardreset without installing the extra apps almost gives the same result.
But don't forget to use the 'ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe ' when you try to update, else you get an error. But that's all in the topic there. And don't forget to fully charge battery before update
(hey, this is the upgrading part of website no bad to lead people to the dark side eh? )
wifi
I have tried so many romes and none of them will turn on my wifi is there some trick I need to know about? did you fix your wifi?
Well, when using a different rom I guess the operater doesn't have that much to do with it anymore.
Just when you go into the com-manager you see an icon that looks like an antenna thingy with a little cross next to it. Just press it and there you have wifi (should become yellow without the cross).
That should be working standard with a 'normal' rom like the new qtek one. Connecting is another story though once the wifi is enabled (connecting with wifi is a bit tricky at times).
I flashed the qtek rom on my Dopod 830 (bought in China) successfully. However, the wifi on the comm manager still failed to activate. So the assumption (conclusion) is China Telecom simply removed the the wifi chip.
I think you may just have a faulty device.
To my knowledge, no phone company actually has the facility, or would bother with the enormous cost of modifying devices in such a way.
Could you be more specific as to what happens? I have a feeling there is a big misunderstanding here somewhere.
You press the button on the side, the comm manager comes up, you click the icon with an antenna and...
a) noting happens.
b) error message pops up.
c) wait cursor (circle with 4 colors) appears, but the button remains with the x.
d) non of the above.
I think you may have rushed a bit with flashing different ROMs. Try putting the original ROM back, without the extended ROM and see what happens.
Thanks levenum! My problem is (c), there is a waiting sign and the icon remained x. The original rom is in simplified chinese CHS and now I am having the 2.20.7.34 wwe with everything running fine except wifi. Will try to flash back to a CHS rom and see what is happening.
Well that does sound like a hardware / driver problem, but it is more likely a fault than intentional deactivation.
Is the phone under warranty by chance?
If so, once you have the original ROM you might try getting it repaired in the lab.
Also check the phone details on the site of your phone company. Do they state this model has WiFi or do they 'conveniently' omit it.
I checked with China Telecom and Dopod, they said the wifi chip has been removed. I am not sure how they can remove the chip but many phones selling in China have got wifi removed. How can I know the wifi is physically removed or is jsut deactivated?

I have exactly the same problem with you, as I searched the forum, some poster tell that Dopod from China mobile, the wifi chip is factory removed.
Does anyone have the schematic of the full-function prophet, so i could locate the wifi chip position, so i can upgrade my Dopod 830 by hardware way
thanks

wifi problems...Jester AKU2.2 upgrade a solution?

I have the HTC Prophet (XDA Neo) but it never finds or displays any network. My biggest worries are, that i dont know if it is a software or hardware problem.
i did several hard resets, turned on the wifi in the comm-manager and no network is displayed altough there are several networks in this house ranging from secured to open networks...
i also tried programs like wifiknife and hitchhiker but no networks are displayed... wifiknife says that "tnetwln1 is found and ok" .... but then no APs are found...
I wonder now if the installation of the RUU-Prophet-G4-AKU2.2-2.20-2.47.21-Jester-r1.exe could bring me any help.
Can I install this on my Prophet? I think i have G4 and nothing installed since i bought it..
here are also my version numbers:
IPL 2.15.0001
SPL 2.20.0001
GSM 02.19.21
OS 2.15.4.47
ROM:2.15.4.47 GER
Date 3/9/06
RadioRom: 02.19.21
Protocol: 4.1.13.09
extROM: 2.15.4.140
I would appreciate any help. thanks. Avenarie
I have the similar problems. Although BT now works like a charm, WiFi is not possible at all. I cant connect to my Linksys WRT at home or at work using wpa-psk.
This is really annoying... any solution is worth extra beers.
Edit: sorry, i misunderstood. I'm using Jesterz 2.2 and cannot get a connection, but it lists all accesspoints correctly.
So Upgrade to jesterz may not be a solution for you
I have the same problem for 3 months on for now...and there is no solution i think. i'm starting to think of an harware problem but never bricked it or dropped it( an if it is a hardware problem how can i see the mac add of the wifi adapter when wifi is on right? ) complex problem.....sorry for the bad news...=(

Phone Setup

Topically on Laurentius V5 Rom I´m facing some serious difficulties with phone and data connections, while travelling europe on a german T-Mobile SIM.
Tried different Radio Roms in every problematic case (Austria, Italy), none seemed to impact those difficulties (no connect at all, no re-connect after connection loss due to weak signal, no data connect...) USA and Canada p. e. had no problems at all.
My thinking was, that a SIM Card should enable any (i.e. also non branded) phones to connect, also while roaming (i.e. even preferred networks... should be SIM card specific).
Troubleshooting my problems, I´ve analyzed the latest official provider Rom and found 2 cabs, doing a lot of phone and connection specific registry modifications.
Do cabs like these need to be applied to the WWE roms to assure full telephony functionality?
Is that, why JWrightMCPS provides his different flavours?
Phone setup
Hi,
I've never seen this cab's in any ROM, but I will have a look at them.
Thank you
Leo
Extended Rom Cabs
Hi,
Sorry, but I was unprecise.
The cabs are provided with the topical german T-mobile Uni Update, but they come with the extended rom.

Odd Problem with Radio

After upgrading my Tornado (O2 XDA Phone) to WM6 I have had problems with Radio. I use a analog Dual Sim, so I turn Flight Mode on and off to switch between the two Sim Cards. But after upgrading, when I switch to one certain of the two sims, it logs onto the GSM network but I'm unable to do phone calls, send sms etc. I have to reboot to get back GSM functionality. Further more, GPRS connection with this sim is impossible all the time, even after rebooting ("the remote party has ended this connection"). With the otcher sim, everything is allright and with another phone with WM5 everything works with both sim cards.
If searched and tried all combinations of different ROMs and Radio versions, but nothing helped, even downgrading to WM5 didn't (I think the original Radio wasn't included in the WM5 Rom).
Has anybody a clue, how to get it working?
u should be update gsm(radio version) to more lvl,i think.
i am is 4.1.13.28 now. have NOT any problem.
i have same problem("the remote party has ended this connection") too when use 4.0.13.20
check ur radio version.........
in setting/other/about...

you should read the posts by Steve Maillet \ (eMVP \) at http://www.pocketpcjunkies.com/Uwe/...t-is-the-driver-API-call-to-register-a-device
im kind of new at this, i couldnt quite follow what he was talking about. im trying to manually load the wifi driver in my friends htc tornado .it suddenly stopped working after flashing a new rom.we tried 3 or 4 different roms before going back to the original rom but still the same result. in the comm manager it says driver not loaded. i wonder whats wrong since when we search for wifi the driver in the windows folder i.e tiacxwln.dll, you find that its still there.
If the driver is not loaded at startup with a shipped ROM than the device is either broken or has no WIFI. The Tornado has two flavors, one without and one with WIFI. If the HW is not on the PBA (or broken) then the driver will not load.
Look up the IMEI of the device (*#06*). If it starts with 356298 it is a QTEK 8310 (with WIFI) if it starts with 356536 it is an O2 XDA Phone (no WIFI) or a similar built device. This is true for all such devices that have crossed my desk - but I am limited to Germany, so I have no clue about American (T-Mobile SDA there - has WIFI) or French (Orange SPV C600 - has no WIFI)
Best evidence comes from opening the device. Under the LCD there is the WIFI chip. If you see blank space and unsoldered contacts then the device has no WIFI HW.
Lets discuss this in the Tornado Forum
it shows 356537.... i think the hardware might be broken since it worked before flashing new rom.i will ask him if has dropped the phone before
