What Comm Manager are you using?
Check in the registry @ HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager.
The WLAN key should end in \TNETW12511.
Then soft reset, if this doesn't work post all the values in WLAN and I will have a look.
wow.. wifi seems to be working now.. ive done about 5 soft resets and that did nothing before... but anyways thanks for the help
I read wifi as wife.... and wondered what the hell you were doing on this forum! ;-P

A Hard Reset will fix that wife problem.
Hold down both soft buttons and Insert your stylus into the small hole on the bottom.
Am I sick? or is this just HTC humor (if so I didn't know they had any)
P.S. It's 11:30 pm on a Sunday, I really need sleep.

Same problem here, WiFi won't turn on.
I am using Schap's 6 button Comm Mgr cab on of the latest ATT rom release.
Checked the CommMgr registry key and it had two key values, the one did not end with the TNETW12311 as suggested. I tried changing just the ending but that did not work.
I also changed the Name value key to wrlsmgr.exe as that was the name of the exe I found in the Windows directory. That did not help either. If I run wrlsmgr directly then I can turn Wifi on and off.
I figure at this point my WLAN key is all screwed up so if you could provide me the correct values I will try to enter them.
Thanks!
Mark
Change name to WLanSettings.exe, I think let me know if it doesn't work.

Actually the WALN key should end in TNETW12511 and not TNETW12311

The executable required should NOT be "WLanMgr.exe" but should be instead "WLANSettings.exe".
Has this been done?
And it should be the corrected WLAN value of TNETW12511

Must depend on the ROM, I have had this issue before with one of Schapps 6 btn comm managers.
Those were the two changes I made to get it working.

A hard reset fixed it!
I restored my system from a backup and it stopped working. I turned off PhoneAlarm and - bingo - it worked again.
The "5" and the "WLANSettings.exe" followed by a hard reset seems to have fixed it for me too.
Thanks all!

Actually, if you made the changes and then did a hard reset, the changes went away. If you are using PhoneAlarm, there is a brand new release coming out today that will fix this (at least it fixed mine). The last release screwed WIFI up altogether.
Hilarious

and DaveShaw;
hilarious remarks both of you. Had a great laugh. Thanks.
im having the opposite problem i cant turn wifi off using 6 button com manager key is correct but when i try turn off to save battery it just turns back on any ideas lads
Are you using vista by any chance?
My computer at work has Vista and after I plug the phone into it, wifi won't turn on until i do a reset.
On the other hand, my laptop (xp) at home doesn't cause the phone to have this issue.
Im running wm6.0 that shiped with the phone.

Hi,
I lost the function of my disconnect or hang up button, the red hardware one on the side of the device.
Does anybody knows the registry entry for this button.
I do have HKLM\Software\oem\Keys but i think there is not this one.
The key just does nothing anymore, the green one works fine.
Thanks for helping,
Thomas
may be its a hardware screwup... did u drop ur exec ??
its allright again...
To my shame, I did not push strong enough several times... It works but needs to be pushed strongly. After breakfast it was much easier ;-)
So thanks, but IT WORKS!!
If I would know how to close a thread I would do so...
Thought my button was spoint too, but didn't push hard enough too.
Glad you manage to solve the problem, with some "energy". haha.
me, too...

I think there is a registry tweak but i am unable to find it.
all it needs is a restart!
this happens to my device sometimes that one of both of the keys stop functioning... they get fine after having a restart...

I think I have suffered from this since installing WM6 (most varients so far....) but it isn't a major problem, however I am sure the behaviour was different in WM5
If my Wizard is 'sleeping' and I receive a call I can use the Talk or Hangup buttons to answer or hangup the call no problems. When in the call if I try and lower the volume using the volume slider on the side it doesn't work. This is because it is locked, if I unlock it the button works. I am sure with WM5 the volume slider worked in a call even when the Wizard was locked?
I am currently running the last Faria WM6 ROM, however I have slightly re-heated it to my taste.
Andy
I'm pretty sure this is because smartskey is installed and configured to override the slider key when using the phone. Change the config and it should work the way you want.

I don't have smartskey installed, this is one of the things I removed....
it might suck.... but a hard reset might be all it takes to fix the problem
Hang on, I'm running WM5 and smartskey. Even with Smartskey the vol slider works in phone mode (device unlocked). I just called myself with the device locked, the slider and all buttons are ineffective except for the pickup and hang-up keys. So, there it is!!
Also, with the device locked, you can only hang up after a call, you can not hit the red key again to bring you back to the Today screen, you have to unlock for that.

Well this is maybe the 15th or so time I have re-flashed WM6 on this Wizard and it's been the same on all of them, I think a hard-reset won't fix anything

All of them.... Well, ROM's based on each of the 3(4?) base ROMs that have appeared. I am now wondering whether this might be a Battery Status thing since I have kept the same Battery Status settings throughout...

I've tried other WM5 ROMs, such as Molski's AKU 3.2, and if I remember, it did the same thing. Perhaps someone with another WM6 rom loaded can experiment and let us know if the same happens to them.
Anyone???
EDIT: I am using Batt status to lock it. I can try another lock program, hang on!!
Well, I tried just the Today plug-in lock, and the same thing happened, however, I can't rule anything out, I not sure if that plug-in uses BSdevicelock.exe or a different one. I did a search for devicelock and the only file that popped up was the BSdevicelock. I need to find a different one and try it.
UPDATE:
I tried a diffrent devicelock program and the same thing happend.

Yes Start/settings/system/regional settings/time/timestyle
press the time style button for the drop down menu. Once you do this press the up/down arrow to acheive the setting that you desire. Try setting it on h:mm:ss tt. That will give you 12 hour time as in 8:00pm.Good luck

There must be some other issue going on then. I have had the same problem before and I solved it by doing a hard reset. I think I may have also done a soft reset another time and then went back to the previously mentioned path to change it back to the proper 12 hour setting. Are you able to see the up/down arrows from the drop down menu under timestyle?? If not try a soft reset first.
Hard reset
Well the hard reset worked, I just hope I don't have to do it again

Make sure that you go into those settings and set your preference for timestyles even if it is correct right now. This seems to lock it in. you will know if it is going to happen again within 24 hours.
I did
Yeah, that was the first thing i did! Thanx everyone for the help!
just what i was looking for. no reset needed. Thanks for the handy info. didnt see the other time formats in the drop down.
tried and works.

I've used a bunch of roms so far and two of them so far have worked fine for days but for some weird reason when I would turn it on then it wouldn't turn on anymore. I am not gonna mention names because I don't think it's their fault I think it's mine. Both of them tended to do this right after I installed new software and then later on I would restart the phone. Is there some type of limitation of how much I could third-party software I could install in a rom?

Ok my guess is you are using a touch rom. Here is what I am willing to bet has happened to you. You flashed the rom successfully, installed 3rd party software while the home plugin was still active on the home screen and now you are having problems rebooting.
I have 3 solutions for you.
1. Hard reset(hold comm manager and voice button while pressing reset button.)
2. take out memory card and sim card turn it on and then soft reset once it freezes.
3. DISABLE home plugin while installing new software.
Hope this helps.

Yea that's no joke. Just today my Wizard running TNT.1437 Touch started trying to connect to GPRS over and over again and wouldn't stop untill the battery completely died. It was only at 3% to begin with but it died really quick(batterystatus probably helped)
I installed several programs on my Cruise and unfortunately the device cannot be turned off anymore.
If I hold the button on top of the device and hold it, you get the message that you are turning the device off....but it puts it in hibernate....
I don't really know which program caused the problem, since I seldom turn my phone off. So in the 2 weeks I have the phone, I tried to turn it off only once.
In the beginning the button worked...but now...not anymore.
I know I can try a hard reset, but I am reluctant...since I have to install everything again.
The software I installed were:
SBSH PocketBreeze (uninstalled it)
PZP tools (uninstalled it)
BatteryStatus Advanced
SPB Diary
HTC Home Customizer
At least these are the programs of which I think could have caused the problem.
Does anybody know how to correct this, without hardresetting?
Same situation for me .....
Maybe HTC HomeCustomizer ???
you can try soft reseting the device with the stylus and see once it is back on if the problem persists. then u might want to try uninstalling the last application u installed to see if it makes a difference.

I have used HTC Home Customizer and do not have this problem. Have you tried a short double press of the power button? Sounds like the long press power off works by your descriptions. You may also want to check if xpshut will work for you.

Problem seems to be resolved
The problem seems to be HTCHome v2.1 necessary for HHCustomizer to work. I installed it and i'm not able to turn off the device, after uninstalled it's all ok.
At least there is someone to share this inconvenience. Glad to hear you found out what caused it....however, does your Home Customizer still work?

Keypad service
There's also a service, keypad, that if stopped, disables all buttons. Not sure if this applies to you or not, but I had stopped it on my TC by accident, and had the same issue you described.
