Kaiser - Wifi Problem - Any solutions?? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Hi everyone,
I got my new Kaiser (AT&T Tilt) last week, unlocked of course, and I have reformatted it yesterday, and since then, I am unable to get Wifi to connect to any network! The device shows me the available network and everything, but it says it's connecting to them and then it just says they're available
Any solutions? Suggestions?

same here.... but no solutions yet....

What ROMS/Radios are you using?

Actually, a solution that would work is to power cycle the device (remove the battery for a few mins out of the device, put it back in, and run again) however, I am not sure about this solution as it may be a temporary one!
The ROM I have is:
1.57.502.2
Radio:
1.27.12.11
Any suggestions on the ROM/Radio?
-W.

just a suggestion of what works for me.......my POS router, i can only connect to it if the wifi power mode on the kaiser is set to best performance. same sh*t with the wizard and the hermes. i seriously should get a new router

i had the same issue. But today i triedd q-mobile rom, which has a different radio than before. It works now. I am finally connected to my router. I have a Tilt as well.

I've noticed variations in performance and willingness to connect to APs depending on the Radio version. On 1.27.12.32 it would sometimes connect, other times not - and take a long time! On 12.17 it connects pretty quickly to most APs. If it doesn't, I turn Wifi off, then on.

Actually, It used to connect to the same network (probably different AP) with no problems at all!
I encountered the same issue today, and even after a powercycle the same thing happened..

I had the same problems you guys had. tried to connect then would say available.
i took your advice. first i tried to install the radio that comes with the q-mobile. i couldnt install it to my phone, the screen would black out.
next i went ahead and installed the latest version of q mobile. now it works. and btw q mobile is one fast freaking rom! the screen goes from landscape to portrait in a flash!
thanks!

Mine abruptly started not connecting to any network as well. I'll try the powercycle idea. I have the AT&T standard ROM.

So if I powercycle it it works, except that when I try and connect to what wifi it works for a minute or so and then causes the same problems.

ok, need help with my wifi also, if I go to Wireless Lan settings it says LAN is off, and has a link to click to turn it on, I click it and it connects, shows info including signal strenth, then it disconnects.........it wont stay connected

I am facing the same problem. anyone help?

Hmm, sounds like the same problem I was having. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366526
Not really a fix but a better workaround than having to reboot all of the time.

Wifi Problems with TyTn II
I have a HTC TyTn II and i have some problems with "wlan".
I cannot connect with my router.
I tried it even withouth a security key but it says connecting and for the rest nothing happens.
Ive resetted my router to default settings so everything is open but still i cannot connect my phone to the router.
My router brand is:SMCWBR14S-N2.
Details of my Phone:
Rom version: 1.56.404.6
Rom date: 08/28/07
Radio Version: 1.27.12.32
I hope you guys can help me, Thnx

Hi,SMCWBR14S n2 router the same problem for me but when i turn it to 802.b it works.
I think there is something in the mixed mode what the pda dont respect.

I have a similar problem, but with a twist.
When I'm at my parents, I can connect to their BT Homehub Wifi with no problems at all, even on power-saving wifi mode.
At my house, I have a Siemens Wifi router (from Tiascali), and I cannot connect to this (says it is available, shows signal strength, but won't successfully connect) unless I turn off the encryption/security key.
The only difference between the two networks (apart from the names) is the BTHomehub uses 64bit WEP key and the Siemens uses WPA-PSK key (AES/TKIP not specified in router setup page). I can change the key method on the Siemens to 64bit WEP, but it still won't connect. My laptop connects without problems to both networks.
Is this a problem with encryption handling by the Kaiser?
ROM: Dutty's WM6.1 WWE 29/04/08
Radio: 1.65.14.06 (tried the other radio version of Dutty's rom with same results)
Chris
edit: verfarkas, that's something I haven't trued yet - I'll give it a go when I get home tonight. That would be a nice simple fix - by default, my Siemens router has the "b" (and other suffixes) chosen automatically.

Change to best performance
I was having all of the above problems until I set my power save mode to "Best Performance". Go to settings -> Connections -> Wireless LAN

NO WIFI connection after upgrade RUU_Prodigy_2170706 FRE

Anyone has an idea how to solve this?
i have installed the new RUU_Prodigy_2170706_21707106_20710_QTEK_FRA_Ship ROM on my qteck9100 and all went fine, all works perfectly execpt WIFI
Now each time i want to connect to my wifi network its goes on a neverending seraching, trying to connect end nothing.
I tryed wiht the WAP security on, without any security , without an mac adress filter but no way to connect.
i tryed also to go back to ROM RUU_Prodigy_2080702_102_11310_QTEK_FRA_Test that worked perfectly but i have an error message saying that the rom is not compatible with the device..
suggestions are welcome
thamks
sorry cant help too much, im in the same boat, tryed two different roms now, but no go
finds the network, asks if you want to connect, then after a few mins it stops trying to connect!
Also in the available networks list, they stay available even tho some of them i passed a mile or so ago in my car!
I finally could install RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE ROM and with the DJVW HTC Wizard Optimizer the Wifi wrok perfectly
with the old 2.08 test and the Optimizer,the wifi connection was fine.
Maybe with this last ROm 2,17 the Optimizer don't work ..
im running Custom_RUU_Wizard_1050402_101_11210_O2_ENG_CID.exe.html
but still not working for me, whats this, DJVW HTC Wizard Optimizer ? cheers
DJVW HTC Wizard Optimizer installed and still the same, ohwell,
I had the same problem until I adjusted the NIC power settings to favour better performance it would then connect..
I read somewhere on here that another user had to stand nearer to the AP to connect but once connected all was fine?
same issue for me ...

i had the k-jam ontop of the router, and nothing
I tryed the WIFI connection in a public place with a provider called
"monzoon" and its worked fine.
As this acces is a 802.11b i start really to belive that "Wizard optimizer" do not work with the new ROM
At home with my Belkin Pre-N router that works only on mode "G" and "B+G" i still have no connection.
There is no change if i change performance setting and by the way with the piblic network i was on "best battery" and not on "best performance"

Unfortunately, I've always had the same problem with my secured network with both my MDA(HTC WIZARD) and my Wing(HTC Herald). Do you have Dlink router, by any chance?
Originally change the wifi settings, removing 4X mode and placing the TX rate to 11mb and not 22mb fixed the problem but the problem is back (but so is the 22mbps apparently..)
Just changed it back to 11mbps and it worked!!!
i have my network runnin off a linksys wireless b router model befw1154..and yea i tried changin them settins and still nothing like i said it still sees it and tries to connect but wont ....
I've got a similar problem. Secured network at home (Dlink 614+), won't connect. It'll go from connecting to unavailable, then available again. I've narrowed it down to the router (I think). Every time I change a setting on the router, it reboots itself. Directly after the reboot, I can connect with my wing and stay connected. As soon as I disconnect and try to reconnect, it won't do it. So my only fix so far is to reboot the router when I get home and keep the wifi on.
One time, I went out to get a haircut and connected to a wifi network around there, then as I came home, it was able to connect. Maybe it has to do with the wing "refreshing" a cache or something.
I haven't tried the 11mbps thing posted above. I'll have to try it when I get home. Hopefully that'll fix it, because constant rebooting of the router or finding another wifi spot isn't a real solution for me. I hope the wing will get a software upgrade or something that'll make it more compatible with more routers.
I have the same 614+, so it might work for you. I mean, it still happens but not as much as it did before.

The hot-spot open wifi problems

My wifi works as a charm connecting to my home router and most networks.
Some networks, however, disconnect me after ive been connected a few minutes and after that, I cannot reconnect to the same network without performing a soft-reset.
Signal is full strenght and the networks with issues are open networks without any passkey or such, i.e., they require only that you enter a login and password at a login webpage. These are "hot-spot" networks so to say, such that usually exist at airports, hotels or as in my case, the university.
Ive been searching this forum 10 times and read perhaps just as many threads about different wifi issues. Power consumtion is set at "best performance".
What happens is the following:
-After a soft reset, the kaiser connects me to the correct netowork and says "connected".
-I login at the webpage
-Start surfing for a while. And after a few minutes, I am disconnected.
-When trying to reconnect, it says "connecting" and then jumps over to "availible", where the phone immediately tries to connect to another network.
My thoughts about the problem:
1.) It is not the networks fault as I can connect to it after a soft-reset.
2.) I believe that it is something ugly written in the registry or in some sort of cache, which is cleaned after a soft-reset but prevents me to reconnect to the network without resetting.
3.) Ive been talking to the support here at univ. but they claim it is the phone since no one else (10 000 student and employees) has a problem such as I
4.) Same problem with a.) original rom b.) Duttys V3 c.) Duttys v4.
5.) I have tried altering : 3g, active sync, hspda, bluetooth, work/internet, power settings..
In some threads I read that other people have similar problems but in those threads, the problem never seem to have been resolved and the threads seem to be "washed away" over time (people not caring / giving up?..)
I would appreciate your help or even thoughts
Peter
bump! Come on now... someone has an answer.
Does it happen when you delete the offending connection and re-setting it up again?
I had the same problem before with a wifi connection on one of my local coffee shops. It'll connect for a few minutes, will say its connected and a few mins later it'll disconnect. After i deleted the connection under my "Wifi settings" and going through the setup, it works like a charm.
the same happends to me at home with my Buffalo WRZ2-G300N, and at many hotspots... i can't find any solution.

If by, deleting the connection, you mean deleting the settings for the offending connection, then unfortunately yes, I have tried that.
Thank you for the hint though!
Ok - I'm experiencing the exact same problem. I can connect fine to my home router - using a WEP key, however, when I connect to my university network via wifi - it connects (after a soft reset) works for a short amount of time and then stops. Only a soft-reset works.
At uni i have downloaded the SecureW2 SecureW2 Open Source EAP-TTLS client for Windows mobile as this is what my uni network requires - are you using something like this ?
As a first step, I am going to use my network sniffer to check the traffic and see whether the connection is dying over the air.
I think we might need to pool all our info on this one - as it's a really annoying problem that must be happening to alot of people.

It is great (sort of ) to see more people with the same problem. Which radio are you on? I have never changed mine, which is 1.27.12.32.
I'm on Radio version 1.27.12.29... I'm going to run some tests at uni tommorow to see what I can come up with.
these are my versions:
CE OS 5.2.1620 (build 18125.0.4.2)
ROM: 1.56.405.5
ROM Date: 8/28/07
Radio: 1.27.12.11
Protocol Version: 22.45.88.07H
All,
I can confirm that I am having the same issues with the German HTC stock ROM.
This device has so many bugs that it is hard to believe.
Regards
GZ
Spent some time looking at the problem yesterday - can someone please try out the following;
Set Kaiser/TyTnII so that it stays on all the time (no sleep or power options set), reset the device and let it connect to the AP - leave it 'connected' for approximimately 10 minutes, open IE and see whether you can browse internet - and if you can - for exactly how long before the session hangs?
Do the exact same thing as above (soft-reset) only start IE just after the device connects to the AP and time exactly how long before it hangs.
With both these tests its very important that the machine does not go to sleep or standby etc...
I've dragged out my old Hermes which I am taking in to uni to test with on Monday along with my TyTnII.
Final question, can anyone who has this issue please post;
Device Name (I presume a TyTnII)
Radio Version
OS Build
Access Point Brand/Model
Exact Security used to connect with (WEP/WPA etc...)

Wi-Fi Connection Issue, Cab Solution ?

My Kaiser went away for a repair to fix a faulty USB connection, the handset had never had an issue connecting to my wireless network (Belkin N1 running in mixed mode b/g/n)
Now the handset was not repaired but replaced with a graded handset, as hard as I try I can't connect to my network, I've been through all the settings and have tried all sorts of options on both the router and handset...but all to no avail...
Handset details:
ROM 1.56.405.5
ROM Date: 8/28/07
Radio Version: 1.27.12.32
Protocol Version: 22.45.88.07H
My question, could my handset issue be resolved by loading a CAB to fix the Wi-Fi Network issue or possibly a ROM upgrade (non cooked if possible) or is it likely to be a genuine hardware fault and require the replacement of the handset...again.
I started a thread over on MoDaCo with some good advice coming back mostly to do with the router settings, I thought a post on this forum may bring out a few Kaiser hardware/network experts....so feel free to offer advice

I've had a similar problem recently. After flashing a new ROM, I couldn't connect to the internet via wifi, even though my phone gets an IP address from my router. After flashing a bunch of different ROMs with no success, I found that I had to slide the wifi power setting from "Best Battery" to "Best Performance" and then I could ping my phone and connect to the internet.
I'm not sure what changed, perhaps I broke the internal antenna due to dropping the phone a couple times.

Cheers for the input Roto, I have ramped up the power settings and this makes no difference in my case, I'm pleased to confirm I've not dropped my phone yet so that shouldn't be an issue.
I don't really want to flash the whole ROM, just a possible CAB solution would suit me just fine.
Its pretty frustrating as I'm not in a 3G/HSDPA area at home, so wireless via my router is as good as it gets for me at home.

Internet Sharing problem

So I connect to internet on PC via Kaisers USB which connects to HSDPa.
Problem is that HSDPa connection disconnects aprox. every 8-10mins.
I dont know why, on my Wizard everything works fine.
Where is the problem?
Thanks.
BUMP
So, im using kaisers internet connection on mine PC (internet sharing,usb) and every 10minutes connection drops.
Where is the problem?
Thanks.
Please provide some additional information. Such as: Carrier, ROM version, and Radio version.
I frequently tether for several hours at a time and do not have an issue with disconnects, so there is probably a settings issue that will not come to life until we know a little more about your situation.

Carrier name is "VIP" , location: Europe(Croatia)
ROM: WM 6.1(nothrills)
r 1.65.14.06
g 25.81.40.02H
d 3.14.00.00
I had the same network setup on HTC Wizard and everything worked just fine...
Have you tried any other ROMs or radios? I was able to tether using the NoThrills ROM back when I was running it.
You can also try reflashing the same ROM and radio again in order to eliminate any possible problems stemming from a "bad flash".
Do you have the kaiser tweak installed?
No i didnt try any other ROM or radio..
Everything works fine on that ROM and radio ,only internet sharing is a problem..
And yes i have installed KaiserTweak.
Do you have it set to disconnect your internet?
No i didnt set to automatic dissconnection...
Maybe try another tilt or reset the phone????
huh...i've finally setup everything on this ROM and everything works very nice...so i dont want to flash another ROM (of course if this is only solution, i will..)
strange how nobody had this problem..
NoThrills is a WM6.1 ROM, and your phone would have shipped with a 6.0 based ROM since 6.1 isn't out yet. Did you have this problem prior to flashing to NoThrills?
Well i didnt try on 6.0 original rom...
I've flashed it same day i've got it..
Think i will flash some other ROM..
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
When you say that HSDPA disconnects are you sure it's disconnecting or just downgrading to idle. On my Kaiser I see that when the connection needs to pull data from the net, the icon changes to H (HSDPA) and when idle it changes to just 3G but remains connected. I can see that it remains connected because the signal icon has the 3G logo on top of it.
Cheers!
Rayan
I noticed too that when connection is idle stands 3G icon and when downloading there is H.
But yes, it just disconnects..
When I'm using connection on Kaiser(not internet sharing), it doesn't disconnects..
