I just tried installing fring on a factory unlocked Vox and apart from the minor annoyances of it hijacking the home screen and dumping itself in the startup folder there was one big problem -- fring killed my wifi connection!
Fring could not enable wifi itself, so I tried enabling it through comm manager but the wifi connection just vanished after a few seconds and all my wlan settings disappeared. In addition, the wifi plugin status on the homescreen disappeared. I had to uninstall fring and do a soft reset to get it working again.
Anyone else have this problem or know what might be going on?
Same thing happened to me... I could not get the wifi to work again. had to uninstall fring and that was the only way it would work again.
Good to know I'm not alone. Anyone know what went wrong? There seem to be some happy fring-using Vox owners out from what I've read. FYI, my problems were with the Jan-08 ROM.
I use fring on my vox with no problems at all.
which rom exactly are you using? HTC or cooked?
I just have the standard HTC ROM... 1.34.405.1

Hi,
I bought the Excalibur and the Vox 'cause I though it would have been great being able to place VOIP calls from my phone, using the same setup I use with my ATA.
The files to enable VOIP and MS phones have been circulating since a while, but even though I tried couple of packages I still have some issues.
The problem I have is that, for some strange reason, when the VOIP cab is installed my phone sometimes loses "Calling and receiving" capability.
Sometimes I trie to place a phone call and the phone hangs, I can only switch it off and on again. Sometimes I even have to remove the SD card otherwise it will keep doing a Reboot Loop.
Other times I receive an SMS for a missed call, as if I had been offline. When I then try to call back my phone hangs.
This bug seems to affect only the Calls and not the SMS functionality.
Has anybody experienced the same issue?
Thanks,
Ka.
I also have the same problems except for the SD rebooting.
I installed the VOIP client from the workarround posted here and I also experience the same problems:
1) phone seems to work fine until I decide to place a call, when I finish entering the numbers and I hit the Call button, the phone does nothing (not even the beep) and from that point I know that I can't place calls (dial pad doesn't even works on home screen). I have to reboot.
2) I receive SMS from missed incoming calls. If I call my S710 from another phone I get a calling tone and then the answering service, but the S710 does nothing.
I had email accounts configured and I thought this problem was from GPRS not letting GSM calls come in (as it says in other threads) but now I have no active email accounts, no GPRS traffic and it is ever worst (3 to 4 reboots a day!)
I honestly don't remember this problem before VOIP client installed.
Anyone has this simptoms???
I do have the same probs
Probably others aren't experiencing the same because they disable the VOIP when no Wifi is available. I'll try to reinstall the VOIP Cab and try that way.
Bought the S710 for it's VOIP cababilities and possibility to hook it to my PBX and finally feel the freedom of VOIP (Ok, bit exagerating but you get my point ).
Anyway, since we're two at the moment, promised to keep you posted.
Thanks for your help.
Ka.
kast did you improve your VoIP configuration tool? I once tried it, but it never worked. I gave you feedback in another thread but never heard of you

Hi there,
sorry for taking so much time. Actually been quite busy lately and well, ok, must admin left this VOIP thing a bit aside.
Anyway, would you mind trying this version, hope it will work a bit better.
Tested with the provider you sent me and it seems to work.
(This is not a Cab Install thing, been packed up in couple of minutes, please unzip it and run it from your mobile.)
I think I'll get back to this so stay tuned for some little enhancements.
Ka.
COOOL.....Works on my modded Tornado with wm06...great!!!!Thanks!!!!
Hello Kast,
After my last post, I unistalled the VOIP software from within the phone's start>Settings>Remove Programs>Sleuth's WM6VoIP
I got this message "Sleuth's WM6VoIP was not completly removed. Do you want to remove it from the list of installed programs?", I didn't remove it.
I then changed the Settings>phone>Internet Calling>"Use Internet Calling" to "Never".
Since then I haven't experienced any troubles at all and I haven't rebooted the phone for some days now! problem solved but no VoIP!
I'll try your VoIP files and see what happends.
Cheers
P.S. My setting for VoIP was "whenever available" but i had WiFi off 99% of the day. (some days even 100%).
Hello,
i recently installed the htc custom rom (1.25.405) on my device. after install all was great, but after some time i began having trouble enabling the wifi from comm manager. whenever i press the wifi tab in the comm manger wifi keeps staying off. i had the same problem on my wizard and there the solution was enabling the wifi preload from the registry (HKLM->Comm->TNETWLN1->Parms). these string dont exist on the cruise.
does anyone know of a fix to this problem or how to enable the wifi preload on the cruise ?
Try your luck at HKLM\Comm\TNETW12511\Parms
Olioaglio
hey Olioaglio,
thanks for your replay. tried looking there already.
usually there were two strings needed changing:
HTCPreloadStatus-->dword, decimal 1 (standard 0)
PreloadWifi-->dword, decimal 1 (standard 0)
cant seem to find the equivalent inside \TNETW12511\parms.
Soulution found:
HKLM\Comm\TNETW12511\Parms\HTCPowermode=1
Seems like i spoke too soon. the wifi problem was resolved for a while and then came back.
i flashed the black widow skinny v.2.5 rom and again the wifi worked for a while until it stopped enabling (when i press the wifi button in the comm manager it will turn on and immediatly off). i tried flashing the bepe 0.65 rom and even the latest radio rom (1.58.25.14) but nothing helps.
does anybody have an idea ?????
Hi, I have the same problem; wifi is always disabled.
I tried to modify the key:
HKLM\Comm\TNETW12511\Parms\HTCPowermode=1
and it seems to work ... but after only 10 minutes, I tried, it is still disabled.
When I click on Comm.Manager to able Wifi, it load a few seconds and after it is still off.
ROM is 1.24.408.1 ITA, original.
Radio is 1.58.21.23, original.
Thanks
Yep, I had the very same problem from the beginning until I installed Bepe's Rom v.64. Then I installed Goodlink for work and that ruined it again.
Sounds to me like some software conflicts somewhere that need to get fixed...
Anyway, you can try Bepe's latest ROM. Just don't install that piece of rubbish called Goodlink.
Well it seems that it is indeed a program conflict, i have tried to disable each process running until i found the culprit, it was the Pocket controller loader, after disabling it wifi would disable without any problems, lets see how lost this will last...
would installling WMWifiRouter stuff up the wifi. I have a stock polaris and havent upgraded the rom. Wifi was working fine, even after I installed WMWifiRouter. Then after about a couple of weeks, wifi just would not come on at all. But strangely, then i tried to fire up the WMWifiRouter, it would go up to a point past saying "WLAN on" and then stop at "Waiting for ICS".
In the end, I had to hard reset but have been afraid to re install WMWifiRouter. I was using a .92 version i think but now it's payware and I havent got the new one either.
Jackinabox - how do I disable the processes like you did?
thanks

Hello all,
does anyone solved the WiFi problem?
it seems to be a program conflict try to find the program that causes it by enabling the running program processes on your pda.
hmm thanks promissed new ROM update from HTC is really needed
Hello.
I have an O2 Xda Exec with Ranju's v7.7 WM6.1
Everything works perfect except the wifi.
Why can't I make it work?
I open the connection manager, push the wifi icon and nothing happens! It stays off!
Can you give me some advice?
Thanks in advance!

I haven´t any problem with wifi on Ranju v7.7.
reinstall the ROM.
Actually that happened with every wm6 roms I have put in the past.
For example ranju's v7,6.
Do you think that this happens because I have the sdhc driver enabled?
Hello again.
I did some research on my Universal and found out that my device doesn't recognise the wifi module.
I ran the IPer, clicked on adapter info and there is nothing there! (Maybe that's because I can't switch the wifi on. I don't know)
Then, I ran wififofum and there is nothing as a device..
Can anyone please tell me what to do? Please, I'm desperate!!!!!!!
Is there any chance that you are using the Battery Status plug-in? I've experienced exactly the same problem (can't switch WiFi on) with both versions 1.04 & 1.05. If yes, just try to uninstall it.
Unfortunately I'm not using this plugin..
The only today plugins I'm using is the HTC Home VGA, Resco today and SMB GPRS Monitor.
I also do not use the overclocking application embedded with the ROM and I have the watchdog disabled.
Any other clues??? Please...
i have the exact same problem, with every wm6 i installed, now i tried the 6.1 and thats no good, my pda is useless without wifi
any ideas are welcome, i dont want to go back to a wm5 rom
anyone found the cause of this behavior?
I can sometimes switch WLAN on, after the "switching on" time, I turn my Universal off, then on, and WLAN works.
I have the same problem. It started with Tomal's 8.2 ROM and I think it could be when I started using SDHC. Another thing happens to me is that even if, in Stenigs-->System, the Performance is set to 624Mhz, when I test it with CPUID.exe the processor is working at 520Mhz.
Has anyone tryed to downgrade to WM5?
I've read that somthing may be erased in the UNI EEPROM that is not reinstalled with ROMs. But I've "no idea" about it.
a lot of ROMs has affect by WiFi issue when You protect with WPA PSK. Please search for thread : WiFi WPA-PSK Workaround and BubbleFix Service (CAB and OEM) - STABLE ( 1 2 3 ... Last Page) and install the cab. WiFi will run perfectly
Thanks for your help but my problem is that the wlan doesn't turn the WIRELESS LAN on, not the ecryption used. Without wifi, the Universal is just a very BIG cell.
I've even tried this WIFIService.cab but it hasn't solved the problem.
does not seem to work for Tomal's latest ROM
I have some truly weird problems, would love to hear if anyone has encountered the same pain as I have.
The symptoms are:
In the comm manager the wifi suddenly refuses to switch on. When clicked the row greyes, a few seconds pass and then the row returns to status off. This problem will occur anytime. After the phone has been off for the night, after in use for a day or whenever. No pattern.
Soft resets never helps. Power off will help, but not necessarily at attempt #1. Hard resets will not necessarily help either (I have tried six times).
Device.exe crashed on me a few times after one of the hard resets. Manila.exe too.. this also intermittent. :/
So I'm thinking hw-failure here and the phone will go for replacement on monday, please let me know if you disagree or have any tips how to solve this. As I use wifi a lot this is crucial functionality for me.
I have seen similar problems for the Diamond where hw-failure seems the likely cause too. Please note that I have not tweaked the phone at all.
best, Robert
Well, as noone objected the phone is now sent back. Hopefully the new one will not have the same "feature".
cheers, Robert
Hi,
I have the same issues on my Diamond.
Thx

I have the same problem too. My wifi was firing fine until i used Wifi router v.6 (Bummer!). since then my Wifi refuses to fire up. Raphael forum does not have solutions, bt i could find a solution for a similar problem in Athena Forum < http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387454&page=4>
is there a way to port this fix for Raphael?? sure, if comnex obliges!
Cheers!
I'm using Swtos ROM" WM6.1 WWE CE OS 20753, Build 20753 V0.5 Light" which is very stable & Very responsive (Superlative). but recently my Wifi refuses to turn on using Comm Manager/wireless manager. My wifi was fine until i used Wifi router v.6 (maybe!), since then my Wifi refuses to fire up & even Network configuration manager refuses to open up. I have re-flashed several Radio ROMs, OS ROMs, including the Stock ROM & yet no solution. This dosent seem to to be a HW problem but something to do with MAC address corruption.

Same thing happened to me. One day wifi worked fine and now it doesn't. When I try to turn it on via comm manager it does nothing. I'm using RRE with radio 1.12.25.19. I've tried flashing different radios and hard resetting my device. Has anyone been able to fix this?
Dear all,

I used it a bit for chatting and also skype call. It works. But on some Wifi connection, it keeps breaking. This happen at home on secure connection and the reception is good. I tried on unsecure connections and it didn't break.
I dont have problem with installation or starting the fring with my TP. I've been using it for couple days. It works fine for me except some echo on the other side. By the way the sound always on speaker. I dont know why or how to change it to be like a normal phone. Maybe this is the cause of echo sound. But if i use headset with mic, the echo is gone.
Hi,
I would like to know for those that have Fring working, Are you using the original ROM? I am using the original Asian Rom. Thanks.
Original ROM :1.90.707.4 WWE (Asian)
ROM Date : 08/23/98
Radio : 1.02.25.19
