OK guys!
I've developed a WiFi workaround... It's written in C++ (previous version was written in VB.NET)...
I've converted it in a Windows Mobile service... with a more efficient and more effective architecture...
It works as bubble fix only...
You can get it here as WiFiService.cab or OEM_WiFiService.zip... (you need to manually uninstall previous installed version of it)
The CAB and OEM contains the wzcsvc.dll fix too (thanks to vagus).
Let me know if it works...

OK guys!
I've developed a first version of a WiFi WPA bug workaround... It's written in VB.NET and probably it's not the best in efficiency but... it seems effective...
That's the way!!!
Tomorrow or later I'll translate it in C++ as a Windows Mobile service with another more efficient architecture...
WARNINGS
It's based on a timer with an interval of 3 seconds... so to guarantee the best stability wait for 3 seconds between manual turn on or turn off...
LIMITS
This does not handle power on/off wifi bugs... only fix the reboot bug...
It seems not working when a new network is first time connected after being configured through notify messages...
You can get the cab here...
Or can get my latest ROM here...
Let me know if it works... (pay attention... it's a "beta")

Testing!
Very good!
Thanky You!!!
Don't work for me.... It is working only partially, sometimes it will connect,
sometimes not (often)
I have better results when I manually turn on and off wifi to connect...
I think that this app is turning off wifi too fast....

Hi Mr Groch,
I would advise upping the timings to 5 seconds, this would give everything time to initialise and connect/disconnect cleanly.
ps........Good work!
Cheers,
Beast
New modified version... You can find the cab in the same place...
You can edit and test delays...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\WiFiWPA\Interval: seconds between wifi state monitoring (default is 5)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\WiFiWPA\Delay: seconds between turn on and turn off (default is 3)
I've tried to develop a C++ service... but it doesn't work... is anyone out there that can help?
New Version
This is written in C++... more efficient... but not yet a WM service... softreset required...
It works as BubbleFix too...
Let me know...

Excellent work. Exactly what I was waiting for. It works with my Netgear wi-fi set up with WPA-PSK. Could this be incorporated in the new rom Beast is likely to release for G4 devices?
It's still buggy, I think that there will be other versions soon...
When all the known bugs solved, I'll merge it in my ROM... (for Beast ROM you should ask him for it...)
BUGS (BubbleFix)
1. Sometimes it doesn't refresh immediatly the new status... and tapping again cause the wlan driver to act strange (the network adapter simply disappears!). To quickly solve the problem you can turn wlan on by Wireless LAN applet in Settings or softreset...
2. It shows itself when flight mode is activated too...
3. It doesn't handle keyboard input in the connectivity dialog... only stylus input...
I'll work on these bugs on Monday...
Let me know about other bugs!

Thanks. waiting for the next update of your Rom with this and VOIP fix. Well done!
bugy but works. Finally I can use wifi on my Uni... Thanx a lot.
fuih... at last, my WI FI is working alright now, I can connect anytime without any problem at all - thank you
UPDATE
New version available... download again the WiFiService.cab from here...
Now it handles the flight mode and better manage WiFi power on and off...
It's still buggy if used with the common (and old) CommManager... I'll probably develop a new version of CommManager that better handles WiFi...
You can disable the BubbleFix feature changing
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\WiFiWA\Balloon = 0
How does this work exactly?
I installed it on my htc touch, but I still can't connect to my WPA-PSK AES protected network :-(

The application is notified by windows when the Wifi state changes (through the HKLM\System\State\Hardware\Wifi registry value...)
When it happens, if the new state is "connecting" (i.e. 11 or 15) it switches off the Wifi device after 5 seconds (Interval) and turn it on again after 3 seconds (Delay)...
To solve your problem... you should verify two things:
1. What's the name of your Wifi device? I think you can find it HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\CommManager\WLAN\DeviceName
Fix: If you confirm it's stored there, I'll update the application making it read the device name from registry...
2. What are the states of the device written in HKLM\System\State\Hardware\Wifi? They would be similar...
Fix: Turn on and off the Wifi device and refresh your registry viewer window... Take note of the values and tell me...
I'll wait for your reply to update the app...
Pay attention: this workaround simulates the manual turn on and off fix... if it doesn't work manually, this application is useless...
UPDATE
New version available... download again the WiFiService.cab from here...
Now it reads the WiFi device name from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\CommManager\WLAN\DeviceName... it could work on other devices...

When I'm not connected wifi state is 7, when I'm connecting it's 15.

Well, the problem is the manual disable/enable trick doesn't work for me, but I thought maybe the timings were wrong so I was hoping your app would work for me. I can't understand why this trick works for everyone, except for me :-s
I'll try your updated version now, maybe this helps.
Update (recommended)
New version available as Windows Mobile service (with a more efficient and more effective architecture).
You can get it here as WiFiService.cab or OEM_WiFiService.zip... (you need to manually uninstall previous installed version of it)
For more information look at the first post of this thread...
There is another fix out here for WPA-PSK bug... I'm waiting for comments on it...
Wifi FIX
Hi,
I'm curious how progress is doing.
Going to test your fix Mamiware!
Keep you updated!
Thank you
Leo
Wifi connect's but buggy, wlan manager crashed the first time.
Needed to softreset the device to turn on WLAN again.
Wifi bubble to turn off wlan I don't see.
After the device has switched of because of power setting I can't turn wifi on again.
Need to softreset again.
I have wpa-psk tkip enabled.
CommManager version 0.9.1.1
Cheers,
Leo
btw. I'm using the latest fix

WOW! This disaster with my WiFiService!? I am encountering only a problem to start again Wifi with CommManager and WLanMgr after turning it off with the bubble (i.e. with SetPowerDevice D0)...
CommManager 1.3.7.0 and WLanMgr 3.17.0.0
First, I have just updated my T-Mobile SDA fromWM5 to WM6 using Karhoe’s fantastic guide. I am puzzled with one item at this time. I can turn Wi-Fi on and off in the START/ Settings/Connections/Wi-Fi Settings area, (and it works fine) but this is quite inconvenient.
My Comm Manager has eight entries, none of which include Wi-Fi. How do I add the “Wi-Fi” button (#4 in the picture below) to my phone? My setting opitions in the Comm Manager list only 1. Phone, 2.Bluetooth & 3. Profiles (no Wi-Fi)
Again the team effort to make WM6 available has been superb !!!
how is that possible? which ROM did you use? i don't think any WM6 ROM here lacks wifi option in comm manager.
Which Rom used?
ROM images included in the following files:
WM6GSMUpdate
Andot's V6 Perfect English Edition Windows Mobile 6 for HTC Tornado
Status Update - Problem solved
I was guided to perform a hard reset on my SDA to correct another problem I was having (6 second delay before received calls could be heard). After this hard reset I checked the Comm Manager and discovered I now have ten (10) entries (IP Phone and WLAN) were added). I then decided I would NOT load the COMM MANAGER Update in the EXTRA's folder (comm_manager_updated.cab) dated 7/24/07 in case this update caused my
previously noted problem. P.S. Under my COMM MANAGER settings key, I now have five options, including WLAN Settings and IP Phone settings.
Hi all,
I've programmed a nifty tool voor auto disabling gprs after a period of time. I couldn't find an app which auto disconnects gprs/umts for WM 6.5 so I made my own. It's still version 0.1 but works wel. .NET CF 3.5 is needed. If something doesn't work please mention it so I can change/repair it. It was tested and developed on a HTC Touch2.
Have fun
Winmohtc6
Nice tool..... Not to create double threads but you can put it aswell in the general section Windows applications..... http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=528
I own a Touch 2 and i've installed this app on my sd card (.Net 3.5 it was installed). I've checked the second option (search gprs on start data connection) and set the timer to 60 seconds. After reboot, i started data connection from comm manager, updated weather on homepage but even after 3 minutes, the gprs connection did not stop.
No other apps autoconnect this time.
What did i do wrong ? Or can you explain how did you tested it ? (I'm sure it works on your device )
Hmmm strange. I've tested it with autoconnecting gprs and not with manual connection via comm manager but that may not be a problem (in my opinion). I'm working on version 0.2 at the moment. It includes the option that the time stamp you save will be shown in the combolist after restart and it includes soft reset of the smartphone for applying settings. I'm working on it
Tested few minutes ago with gprs autoconnection.
Steps: reconfigure app, soft-restart phone, manual e-mail check for starting gprs. Connection is still alive and i didn't touch the phone 3 min till the screen turned off.
If it helps: ROM: 1.28.479.4 (66092), phone was bought unlocked (gsm operator free). If you need another specific hardware info, please tell me.
I'll wait for 0.2 version.
I appreciate your work.
Ops
Please share with us the registry keys that you change )
If wanted I can share the source code (vs vb.net 2008) . Send me a private message with emailadres and I will email it to you. I'm thinking of switching to OpenNetCF because it has more (and in my opinion better) references for programming on mobile devices.

Thanks And the phone disconnect GPRS .. but no one knows when
Am I the only one with this issue:
It seems that Bing Mobile v 5.1.2010.6280 loses the Navigation button on a Samsung BlackJack II - SGH-i617 running WM 6.1
A search on the web shows quite a number of users experiencing this same issue.
This condition only happens when your mobile device connects for data and attempts to generate directions. Once this happens the app loses the Navigation button permanently.
If your device does not connect to the internet for data, the Navigation button remains on the application.
Any help is appreciated . Thanks.
Hello all Seniors,

At my house, no issue I can connect Wi-Fi without any trouble but in my Office I am not able to connect Wi-Fi network...before updating the phone Wi-Fi was working great at the office. it shows on the phone saved network but no internet at all.
it is kit-kat version -4.4.2 when I hit 5 to 6 times on version button to check which version I am using it came with letter "K".
someone told me to uninstall McAfee app from phone but I checked in my complete app folder but I could not find McAfee app icon at all.

1. KNOX
2. Android Device Manager
any suggestion please? anyone in the forum have any solution or similar experience?
