no wifi channel 12/13? - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have been using channel 13 on my wifi and winphone for almost a year i just updated to os 7740 bootloader 5.1 on my htc pro 7 and noticed after about 2hours of trial and error that it no longer picks up channels 12 or 13.. is this normal behaviour as it use to pick it up previously. infact it was picking it up after the update untill i enabled internet sharing after i disable it and the wifi restored my network disappeared..
thanks

Hey,
I think I've the same issue like you with my HTC HD7. If I wanna connect to my WLAN (channel 13) my phone wont connect. After change to "1-11" everything is fine.
I've no idea why... :-(

I've done abit of research on other devices and im seems these channels are illegal in the USA so I think that is why we can't use them what I dont understand is why it worked fine on everything below the 7740 update and why it dosnt realise where not in the USA. I've ended up switching to channel 1..

Treo 750v on 3 uk problem

Hi Guys, just want a bit of help. Last week I started to have problems with my Treo 750v. Had it for about 4 months and it was originally on Vodafone uk. I unlocked it since and upgraded to WM6. Im using Three UK and it was working fine. Suddenly I lost my signal and can't get my 3 sim to work. I installed different roms and radio roms and still not working.
I tried to use the 3 stage tero unlocking software and I couldnt get pass the 2nd stage, it always give me errors. (I have net framework 2 installed)
Im having a hard time looking for Roms and had no success in changing the radio rom.
I tried a vodafone sim and it got some signal but when I tried to call, it wouldn't let me. It just gave 3 beeps and then hanged up.
I dont know what to do anymore. Any advise is appreciated.
While it worked fine ware u able to use Three Features ig. Free Windows Live messenger, Mobile TV, Skype etc. did it all work as it shuld (integrated with three network price plans ?) r u on PayAsUGo ?

Yes but i never tried to watch tv on it. I was able to surf the internet and download my emails via pop 3. I'm using pay as you go with £5 internet monthly add on.
I have updated my radio rom and installed new rom and still cant get it to work again. Does anyone here who uses windows mobile device on three uk network experience any problems? I'm thinking of getting a new WM device again.

[Q] Mango B2 Can't Connect to Ad Hoc

I am stuck using wifi tethering on my trusty TP2 for my laptop and just tried connecting my HTC 7 Pro to the wifi and it doesn't even show up. I never tried this on NoDo, can anyone else confirm this doesn't work? If so this needs to be fixed.
Sidenote: I remember reading that Microsoft hasn't included tethering yet because carriers don't like it. However, I think this is mostly restricted to US carriers because in Europe I've never heard such things. Give us built in tethering!

WiFi tethering: Internet sharing no longer works - Anyone else experiencing?

Hello,
since the last FOTA update from HTC to 1.45.403 (Android 2.3.4) I can no longer connect WLAN devices to the internet via WiFi-Hotspot on my HTC Sensation!
Before that update it worked.
The devices (tried it out with a Samsung TV and the original WiFi-stick connected and a WD multimedia box, both worked flawlessly before) successfully find the Sensation's AP, successfully connect to it and also the DHCP test succeeds.
However no internet connection then works.
Did anyone of you experience the same?
Could it be that this FOTA update sent by HTC now requires some software token to be sent by your mobile operator enabling WiFi tethering, hence defaulting tethering via firmware to "disable"?
Mobile operators do not like tethering, but they cannot detect (and consequently block) it easily - unless (just my speculation, no idea if this is the reason, why it won't work anymore) HTC would change WiFi tethering and internet sharing via 3G to default off on software level.
I have to mention that I have an unbranded HTC Sensation without any operator-specific software and the update did not come from the operator but from HTC.
(Or at least that's what I saw.)
Any advice ?
Thanks in advance.
Correction:
Software version is: 1.45.401.3
Have you tried using different security settings for the WiFi hotspott? Go to settings\wireless & networks\Portable WiFi hotspot settings. You have three settings WEP 128, WAP (TKIP), and WPA2 (AES). Mine is set to WPA2 (AES).
Problem is that it does not even work with security settings switched off
I really feel lost.
Could it be that other apps interfere?
But I'd rather doubt.
If you are using the WiFi Hotspot app that came preinstalled on the sensation from tmobile and you dont have a "Tethering Data Plan" they will eventually figure you out and block the app from working.... I found this out myself and had to go ask the nice lady at the Tmobile store why it happened... and that's why.
I can verify that at a certain point of data usage tmous will cut off wifi tethering. They can tell the data is being shared n want u to pay monthly for the service. Found out from a Friend who is a tmo employee.
Although I'm still tethering free for the time being..

Mine does that too now, any way around it
I could be off on this, I work at TMO and I know the Amaze and GSII shipped with the ''latest'' SIM cards, which we were told had to be used for WiFi calling to work correctly, but oddly enough thats when I noticed tethering quit working on all out demo's
Works flawlessly with CM7 for me.
Actually today and yesterday works just fine for me.... so i dont know why it did the one day but no problems now..... wierd
my branded sensation stopped wifi tethering 2 days ago and i just tried and its is working now... Kinda weird i gurss . . Maybe it was because i used 5.46gb of data this month....?

In the UK, we had similar issues from time to time on giffgaff network where following services were affected:
Marketplace app purchases/trials over the 3g
IE in built - music search, local scout etc over the 3g
Zune purchases, streaming, smart dj - over the 3g
It still happens to me ever so often. One of the theory is that giffgaff blocks certain ports or proxies. One or more of these might be required by live services dependent protocols. I don't know how closely this relates to your issue, but if even with a strong 3g signal you face the same issue and solve it using wifi, may be this is a possibility?
Confirmed via Microsoft answers. Lots of users are having issues with tellme not connecting in the US and Canada.
Hopefully this gets resolved before the Lumina 900 releases here or there will be many unhappy customers.
Not working for me either today. But it will work when you are plugged into Zune via USB. Wont work when you are not. I dont know how to report this to MS

That's because it uses your pcs connection when connected to Zune
It just started working so i am thinking they fixed the problem on their end.
Also... oddly it just started putting periods at ends of sentences. I never saw it do that before. Only question marks for questions.

Data mobile issues after upgrade to Android 12

Hi everyone!
Two days ago I upgraded my OP 7 Pro to Android 12 (GM1913_11_H.30) but I noticed a weaker coverage of my mobile network data and, the worst thing, when I make a call the mobile data has always deactivated.
Before the upgrade it happened only often but now I always have mobile data disconnected.
However, I don't remember such weak coverage before the upgrade and the phone is in Edge mode most of the time..
Do you have the same issues?
Do you know how we can fix them?
Hello !
I got the same issue..
Version : OxygenOS 12.1|Android12|GM1913_11_H.30
since I updated my 7 pro , I m losing my network coverage too often..
With android 11 I had any issue about network but since I updated to android 12 my network going away. I use everyday hotspot mode to share network with my computer for work and I get constantly disconnected.
I saw few post complaining about it but any informations came from OnePlus , sadly
I found a way to get back my network without rebooting my device or waiting 10 mins.
I disable my Sim card then I enable it..
now I m looking a way to roll back to android 11 or if isn't possible, I m thinking deeply about a factory reset.
OnePlus 7 pro Europe
French operator : Sosh (orange)
I already reset my wifi settings but nothing changed
If anyone got information about it, I m all ears !
Cheers!

I don't think you'll fix your issue through a factory reset, because it seems to be a well known issue in Android 12 with this phone.
Android 11 has as drawback the battery draining, in fact, I was pondering to roll back to Android 10 (10.0.1) bit, however, I discovered that my carrier doesn't support the VoLTE feature on this phone. Thus, I decided to migrate to a new phone...
