Wifi problem - or To Return or not To Return

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.

does any one have a solution?

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?

Problem with switching off -Acer n300

Hello,
I have a small problem with switching off my Acer n310. I have it about 2 years and a occasionaly when I work on it just switch off. Sometimes even after I start it. It ussually goes a few times a day, so its quite annoy.
I tried to change any settings, reinstal system for a new version but without any help... I'm quite sure, that is not problem of some application iside because this PDA switched off again I reistaled the system.. If anybody could help, I would really appreciate. You know. It's not so big problem -I just switch it on and ussually it works -but when you do it all the time over and over agan it's flustrating.. Thank you for an answer.

Strange network problem

Some time ago I wrote a thread at the Diamond section about a problem with my HTC Diamond, regarding the unusual waking up of the phone in random periods of time. This happens on a freshly installed ROM from the HTC, official one. Nobody could help me, so I switched back to my Touch Cruise, again after freshly installed ROM (no third party software installed) and the problem started apearing again. I came to the conclusion that the problem is somehow related to my SIM card. I guess there is some bug either in WM or in my mobile operator's network, regarding something with 3G or HSDPA. My opinion is that on random intervals my phone recieves some kind of a signal from the network or loses some kind of a signal, which makes it to wake up. I reached this opinion because there is a certain place on the road between my home and office, where the phone ALWAYS wakes up. I guess there is a weak spot in the network.
My question is: How can I find and read the system log of Windows Mobile 6.1 ? I am asking this because I am almost certain that there will be some kind of information or error message on the times of the wake, which will help me determin the problem.

try to use your phone in Airplane Mode.. if it happened again then it doesnt belong to your network

I Found the problem !!!
Finally after months of agony, I have found the source of my problem. It was my SIM Card ! The damn thing was broken. I found that this is the problem, because I was already given up on my Diamond and wanted to sell it. So i put my SIM Card in my older Touch Cruise. And as you guess, the Touch started to act the same way as the Diamond. I went to my operator, exchanged my SIM card with a new one and now everything works as a charm. I don't know really what was the problem, but I guess it was some Voltage issue or maybe the card just wasn't getting the right signals. The important thing is that now I get to keep my Diamond and enjoy it without the problems I had.
Thanks for the replies !

Different Touch Pro every soft reset

Hi all,
I've got the Touch pro for a few months now and I've tried different roms. I really like it but I have a pretty annoying problem. I've had problems with every rom I've tried and I don't think it's due to the specific roms or the radio roms I use. For instance, I've used the RomeOS and I got terrible gps fix (sometimes need a soft reset to get a fix after 15 mins) I got a bug where the phone app would launch everytime I slid out the keyboard. Also sometimes tf3d just won't start, or very slowly. With the .19 rom I got problems with normal phone reception and text messages were not being sent. Soft resets would help most of the time but not on the long term.
Now I thought I could fix the bad GPS reception with a different radio rom and that seemed to work but after a few days it turned bad again and I needed soft resets and fresh flashes of the radio roms to keep the gps working.
I'm currently using M-rom with the australian radio rom, comming from .19 which was good for a few weeks and then didn't give me any gps locks anymore. As usual it started out good but now after a few days the gps sucks again. Also the phone launching bug is back. The strange thing is that a friend of mine is using the exact same combination of roms with the exact same phone (mda vario IV) and he has no trouble at all. I always do a hard reset before and after a flash (after customization) so I don't think the problems are caused by bad flashes.
Does anyone know what's causing this or what I can do to find out?

Are you installing any additional programs on your TP? Your common denominator may be something you're installing afterwards.

I only use pimbackup to restore the contacts. I don't install much other programs...

Same problem with mine (KPN - Dutch as well). GPS starts to take more and more time after using it for a while. Even worse is not using it for a while and then using it again. My (not optimal) solution: download the QuickGPS data earlier then required, and then turn the phone off using the power button by holding it a bit longer. Subsequently go outside in the garden and start Google maps. Wait a few minutes and pray that you have a fix.
