Trouble with WM6, Internet Explorer Connection

Hello,
I have trouble to get my internet connection work. Normally i go to Start->Settings->Connections->Connections and rightclick on the existing connection.. Then my PDA connects. But after upgrading to WM6 my PDA does nothing.. I tried to execute welcome.exe again ( maybe two missing files) but this didn't work for me...The Settings for the connection are the same as i have used with WM5.
Pleaaase help me ? anybody?
Thanx

I found that if I have GPRS running with the Smart1 Rom, and I then disconnect it, I can only get it to reconnect by either soft-resetting the phone or toggling flight mode on and off. Did you hard reset your prophet after flashing the WM6 ROM?

WM6, Ie, GPRS
Yes, i made hard resets for several times now, but the internet connection doessn't work. Maybe a language problem?

Do you guys only get a "x" at the GPRS icon? I have run cabs to install network setting of my carrier correctly, but still unable to connect to the internet via GPRS. no matter using IE or MSN or or Worldmate

Nope.. My Device doesn't do anything at all. Normally i would get this message that my device is connecting. but i do not even get an error message. The same situation when i try to send/receive Emails...
???! quite annoying..'cause my settings ( proxy, Accesspointname etc. is 100% correct, because this are the settings that would work for WM5..

This is the same situation that I mentioned. Don't know how to fix on this Smart1 NEW rom v1.

So it seems to be a Bug.. I hope it will be fixed in further release. I am wondering that nobody else have this problem ?? I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299023, so i guess that my Network (O2) does not have a 100% functionallity..
Additionally i' ve tried the AKU 3.3 ASERG Rom. Here the Inet Connection works, but the ROm doesn't have this Look&Feel of WM6.. The Today Skin is like on WM5 ...maybe this can be improved?

Wi-fi not turning on in my T-mobile MDA doesn't work after ROM upgrade!

Hi,
i am having T-mobile MDA brought from US by my brother. recently i upgraded to WM5 2.26 and suddenly found that my wi-fi not turning on after the upgrade. when i switc it on, it tries to switch on for seconds and suddenly switches off. i am able to see the wi-fi adapter SDIO WLAN wireless adapter in the list of network cards available. but even trying for many options of changing the settings for this, i am unable to switch on the wi-fi(WLAN) in the COMM manager. i have tried upgrading to wm6 professional(TNT_5.0_Wizard_TouchFLO) got from this site. no use. It is still not turning on. I have tried hard resetting and other stuffs. no clue. All other operations seem to work fine.
Please any one help me to correct this.
My MDA config:
ipl 2.26
spl 2.26
gsm 2.47.11
os 6.0.0.0
Thanks in advance,
VM Karthik Kumar

I noticed the same problem and all I simply had to do was turn the wifi on again and it stayed. Not a solution but it's what worked. Hope it helps.

yeah same here but also tried hard reset and used to start via creating a shortcut made by me from windows directory.it worked but com manager wont work otherwise

I had alot of problems with WIFI, I had to turn it on then off then on again for it to work. Then I found this file to replace a DLL and it works great!
Just copy the DLL file to your windows folder then do a soft reset.

Will try and come back!
Hi guys thanks for the solutions. I have already tried all the options available in this forum for wi-fi,
Joe! let me try copying the dll you have attached to my mobile and see what happens.
will come back with the updates.(Hope to get resolved)
Thanks for all the guys in help.

it did not help! problem still persists!
Hi,
i tried installing the wifi fix in my mda and have done soft reset and still found wi-fi not turning on. I have even switched the MDA off and restarted again and tested. it doesn't work.
Any other option to solve this.
Also i am not able to see any mac address or other settings in wi-fi settings. everything is empty. i can't key in any ips too.
Help me if possible...

my Wifi wouldn't turn on in the last couple of days. I found that it was because I set up overclocking with omapclock plus.

Data connection auto disconnects every 5 min! Help, pls!

Hi!
I have AT&T Tilt and facing very strange problem - when I connect my Tilt as a bluetooth modem or using Internet sharing (bluetooth or USB) the data connection starts, I can download files and open Internet pages, but data connection disconnects every 5 minutes.
I've tried several different ROMs and Radios, tried different carriers, tried different laptops, but all the same.
When I plug the same sim-card into HTC Touch and connect it as a modem - everything works just fine and no disconnects.
Please, help!

Wrong section!

Sorry.
Which section do I need?

Yeah I was having the same problem but it seemed to go away if I moved the phone closer to the computer.

I have this problem before. It has something to do with changes that AT&T has down on there server to not allow tethering. If you give a few hours it will stop. But as soon as you do something that causes the connection to reconnect it will time out again.

The problem is if I try another phone (HTC Touch) everything is OK and I have no disconects.

universal and wifi

hi everybody! finally i got this wonderful mobile phone! i'm just disappointed by the fact i can't connect to any wireless network... not even mine, which is proprly configured... i can obtain the list of all the networks, i see if they are free, if they are encrypted and so on, but when i try to connect to mine or the free ones appears "connecting..." and then it skips this connection and try with the following one... how comes it does so? i tried with different versions of OSs but it's always the same issue... i also disassembled it and everything is it its place... can anyone help me please? thanks

Welcome to forums
Yes, you have one of the best devices ever made!
Try a hard reset or reflash another ROM
Here instructions:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
Good luck,

already tried, but nothing... i tried to use the tomal one, the italian one and the chinese one... but it's not working... do u have any idea why? in my opinion the hardware it's fine, as long as it can see the networks the wifi is working. but the software is not responsible because i tried 3 different roms and it's always the same... i really can't imagine where could be the cause...

Try to do A doc format

what do you mean?
EDIT: now i read about it, i already did it and i'm flashing right now!
EDIT 2: No, it's not working... always showing "connecting" but then just goes back to "available" status for the network, it just does not work...

OK one thing you should notice is Universal is only capable b class of wireless so.. and see what class of wifi modem you have and try to install following cab (which i got from Jonny) it should make it capable of wifi b and g and see if problem still presists try another wifi modem and still same then i suspect it might be hardware issue....

also, isn't the radio responsible for wifi connection? perhaps try a different radio?

mine is b/g both active... i'll try that rajivshahi!
@jonny: i both tried .18 and .15... should i try the previous ones?
EDIT: I tried installing that .cab, but it's not working... do i have to do something in particular after installing it? what do you mean by hardware issue? what could be wrong with it if i see the networks?

the cab just creates a some registry. so try to connect to other modem and see... if everything fail then it might be issue with uni's hardware... as if it was software issue flashing to another rom and another radio should fix it...

just a quick question.... does it connect to a open network or is it just the encrypted oneş.... i cant connect to any other than a WEP network...???

Try this (Configure Wireless Network, DON'T activate "This is a hidden network")

Maybe this will help:
In my case, after a hardreset, I cannot connect to a Wi-Fi Network until I do the following.
1.Turn on Wi-Fi--> when your network shows up, enter the Network key and hit "Connect". (Here is, where the device tries to connect, but does not! IS THIS YOUR CASE?)
2.Go to Wi-Fi-settings (through the Communications-Manager) --> push and hold your finger on your network to open the context menu --> select "edit".
3.At the "Configure Wireless Network" page make sure the check for "This is a hidden network" is NOT set! --> Hit "Next".
4.At the "Configure Network Authentication" choose for Authentication "WPA-PSK" and for Data Encryption: "TKIP". (Make sure the Network key is entered.) Hit "Next" and then "Finish."
Again your device will try connecting and (hopefully ) be successful!
Cheers,

Welcome aboard
Thanks for that tip, hope can solve the issues some members reported

the point is that i can't connect to open networks... now i don't have any encrypted networks i can access... and i tried to set the networks as not hidden, bit it's not working... mdajj got exactly what happens to me "hit "Connect": here is, where the device tries to connect, but does not!" and it shows directly "unavailable status for the network, while the router is on the same desk i am sitting in front of. T_T
now i start thinking that the uni can connect only to encrypted netwoks... how could it be? i bought it because of the opposite reason...

Wifi cannot connect if signal is too low.
Unmount the device, check the wifi/antenna connection and make sure that it is not getting touched with other assembly...

i already did it, and i checked again today, the antenna is fine it does not touch anything and its shape is perfect... BUT today i noticed something missing, i have no idea why i never noticed before... the conductive tapes are missing, but even if they were in place, they'd not touch the antenna, so i guess it's not a problem... am i right?

wifi connection problems
Can I suggest a non technical approach. I also had a lot of problems with wifi a couple of years ago, it turned out to be the BATTERY I had a noname battery from Hong Kong that I think just wasn't generating enough power. The phone and everything seemed to work fine except for wifi. When I replaced the battery wifi suddenly worked perfectly. If you know anyone else with a Uni that works on wifi swap the battery and give it a try.

i also thought about that, but even when the power supply is connected to the phone wifi does not work... and then i have 2 batteries, one is not original, Yaobao brand, and the other one seems to be original, but with both does not work... [both 1620mAh]

Thinking about this, I don't know whether this is relavent, or simply an earth... but the original battery has metal case (or partially), which has a contact pressed to it when inserted in Uni. I have replacement batteries with solely plastic cases, so the contact isn't made. This doesn't affect my wifi, but it's just a thought.

yea, u r right, i did not noticed before... i have both kind of batteries, with one it makes contact, with the other it doesn't... and it's still not working! by the way thanks for the help!

Blow some hot air around the board (if you have a hot-air-station). This is the last thing you can try.

No Signal/No Data Suddenly on Dash 3G (T-Mobile/Ookba 3VOLUTION ROM)

Hello all. It seems as though I've come across a pretty serious issue with my Dash 3G. I have been using Ookba's 3VOLUTION ROMs for some time now and over the weekend, my phone suddenly stopped being able to make/receive any calls. I re-flashed the phone to the latest 3VOLUTION ROM (04/10/10 build) and it hasn't fixed the issue. I've put the SIM into another phone and it works perfectly, so I know it's not a bad SIM card. I don't know of any software settings that can persist like this (after a ROM flash). Furthermore, why it happened suddenly is totally beyond me. Does anyone have any suggestions I can try? This is terrible timing as I just had a job interview and I need to keep my "ears open" for a possible callback.
Thanks guys!

Bump - anyone have any suggestions?

I have the same problem. I switched from my personal SIM to my work SIM (another provider) and now it looses the service contact after a few minutes.

I realized this happens when I have the data connection on and the GPS on at the same time. This happened to me the first few days with the original ROM too when I first got the phone. So when I use google maps or evernote with gps, the phone service shuts down. Weird.

Mine is the Ozone by VZW (CDMA) but after it was flashed to the 3VO ROM on WM6.5, I got errors on the GSM side when using the T-Mo prepaid Sim, data connection was turning itself off so I couldn't even access T-zone (which was working just fine earlier, already unlocked & running 6.5)
Took me a while to check, goggle & search - realized that some of the GRPRS & Proxy settings were locked by default to the VZW embedded Sim, and had to go into Connections & under Advanced (Menu - Right Soft Key)
to change it. Sort of tricky since the wap, mms & other settings were all set properly but it was easy once I changed it to T-Mo's proxy & WAP names as created. Same for using AT&T's MEdiaNet, as otherwise, as soon as the GSM network was found, data connection was turned off.
Take a look at yours and check the various Menus & Settings screen to see if it might've been reset to default, etc. etc.

Anyone Figure This Out?
Just happened to me this weekend (T-Mo Dash 3G). Simply stopped connecting to the network for voice or data. Worked fine on Saturday but dead Tuesday morning. Also running 3VOlution ROM. I called T-Mobile and we played with network settings, etc. but no luck. Tried a hard reset and that was no help.
Reset and rebooted countless times after changing any setting I could think of. Hopefully someone has figured this out or it looks like I'll be buying a new phone tonight.

Bad SIM ...

Was a bad SIM. I swapped mine for my wife's and the no signal followed my SIM. Dropped by T-Mobile this morning on the way to work and they gave me a new one free, no questions asked. Phone's back to normal.
