Hey, everybody. I can use some help! Ok, so I write lists of things to do on my phone. When I want to add to a list, I touch the screen to put the blue cursor into position to type. Of course, the cursor lands in the wrong spot so I have to touch the screen one or more times to put it in the exact spot (such as in the middle of a paragraph. Here's the problem: As soon as I touch the first letter I want to type, it automatically pastes whatever word the cursor was next to before I put the cursor into the spot I wanted. I have to constantly keep backspacing to erase that autocopied word. I've checked all the settings I could find on the phone but can't see how to turn this function off. I'll have to get rid of this phone if I can't fix this. I never had this issue on my last Galaxy phone. Please help!

Hey guys, I've been having a problem with the wifi on my universal for awhile, it just won't turn on, antenna stays off, no scanning, it's just off.

Going into the Wireless lan settings in the control panel "Wireless LAN OFF" is displayed, click "Turn on WLAN" it thinks for a few moments then returns to off with nothing changed.

Does anyone know if this is fixable? It doesn't appera to be a software issue, as it has continued on 3 diffreent ROMs... so i'm not sure how to proceed
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hma4:
I don't have Universal, But did you test an official rom or a cooked rom ?! because some of the cooked roms don't have the right wifi driver :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Balur:
I don't think its the driver, since 3 different ROMs, and no one else has complained about such thingcs in any of those ROM's, also it does work sometimes but thats maybe 1 in 20 reboots.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] wizzmaster:
i have the same problem...although my universal has an official rom...

but Balur i have another problem please tell me if you have the same thing... sometimes when im lucky and get the wifi on and log into a wifi network sometimes the (new wifi network balloon message) appears 5 to 10 times and other times even after i log into a network i cant use the internet for anything browsin, messenger or anything else....

again that occurs frequently but not all the time....

hope anyone could help...

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Bellers:
hello people, fist time poster here. had my uni for about a month now. very useful device, I was loving using the wifi until 10 mins ago when the whole device turned off randomly whilst browsing through wifi. plugged it in to charge, when starting up I get a couple of errors saying certain things won't start. now wifi doesn't start and I get the same problems as others on here. do we have a solution to this?? also, can I actually turn this device off? I've tried holding the power button on for 20+ seconds and had no joy.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] EvilJogga:
You mean "really" off, like as no battery would be inside?

Nope, you can't ;)

You can switch the active pda part off and set it to silent, but this wouldn't prevent the device from switching back on on phonecalls. Even if you turn off the radio stack it still would power the display's backlight on and show a notifier if a reminder was set up.

Really turning it off is only possible by removing the battery. Yes, it is a windows mobile device.

Concerning your problems after the crash you should be fine by coldbooting after recharging the battery. The latter one often causes some troubles with the Uni.

WiFi also dead but on a HTC Artemis

Hi Guys,

I have the same problem but on my HTC Artemis aka XDA Orbit. Only occurred when I was flashing with different ROMS. Even when i flashed original ROM still same thing.

I did read on the forum somewhere that the issue was due to the device not having a valid mac address.

Anyone shed any light on this matter?

There are tools out there for other HTC devices to get Wifi back but not sure if they will work on the uni as they dont work for the artemis.

hi @ all

this tread is a bit "past" but now i got the problem mentioned by balur. i used google and the forum search, but i was not able to find a solution. i hope smb. can help me, because i need the wifi on friday!

Wifi Stopped Functioning after flashing Roms

I have had similar wifi problems with my uni,

My uni was working perfectly for a long while when using "Tomal's 7.7" with Radio 1.18 . . . since then I tried testing with "T-Mobile official ROM AKU3.3" where the flash process when without a hitch.

However I had to change roms again since the T-Mobile rom wasn't very good. but i never got as far as testing the wifi

- - - -

I then tried to flash Tomal's 8.5 Beta, I ran into problems, and was stuck at the bootloader, I tried unlocking the uni with mtty, But i had

copied and pasted

the commands, and it kept on returning errors, after disconnecting and connecting with mtty again i tried

typing

in the commands and successfully unbricked my uni.

I attempted to flash Tomal's 8.5 Beta again, this time it worked without a hitch, but then I couldn't turn on wifi.

Wifi cannot be turned "on" from the comm manager or from WLAN. It just remains "off".

So I tried flashing back to Tomal 7.7 and wifi still didn't turn on.

Then I tried flashing Tomal 8.5 Beta again and still no wifi.

I've now tried flashing Radio 1.15 and - still no wifi

- - - -

I havn't the foggiest why wifi isn't functioning at all. Have I messed things up when I copied and pasted the commands into mtty?

Or did flashing the T-Mobile rom cause the problem?

Good luck and don´t forget to vote!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] paulorosa:
I have a freind with the same problem.

I try to :

Update the ROM's, try several

Update the Radio Rom, try 1.09 and 1.18

Hard Reset several times

Soft reset several Times

Use alternative software, to turn on the WIFI.

And always no sucess.

What I have read is that in Athena PDA, some times during the process of Unlocking or upgrade, the device can loose the MAC ADDRES. I think is because of CID lock....

They develop an utility to set a new mac address , but I don't think it works on Universal.

I try to find a way to see the mac adresss of WLAN Card, but all the tools (ex: vxipconfig) can only see the mac addres if the wifi is turned on .

Also read something about the possibility to create a script vjvolubilis to turn on the wifi and run it before conmanager... Din't try....

suddenly Wifi works again!

Had a similar issue with my Diamond. Posted this a week or so ago:

I had the same Wifi will not turn on issue after I had several ROMs tried.

I gave up on an easy solution and I decided to install the latest (dutch) official rom. After that, I also changed the SSPL back to the original (1.35) version. Still WiFi wouldn't turn on. I started to look for my bill/warranty papers and then today, I dropped the phone, battery fell out, so the phone had another soft reset. When connecting to the PC, I noticed something (strange?): the font of the page on which you have to choose between activesync/dsikdrive/shared internet had changed wrt after the SSPL change. It was again to what it used to be when using the original ROMS. For me, this meant that something in the phone had changed, so I tried to switch on WiFi one more time. And guess what: it worked again! I don't understand why (maybe the drop itself?). I will keep on using WiFI and see if it remains stable and post it here.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lyndel4:
So did anyone find a fix for this problem as yet? I have a HTC Prophet WIFI still wont turn on :(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] srabd:
Same problem here

I'm also having the same problem. I've tested three different official ROMs (two of qtek and one of xda) but still can't turn on wifi.

Wiki says you can fix the problem by disassembling the phone:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=UniversalWiFioff

Anyone has tried it? I don't know what to do...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lyndel4:
Hey thanks alot for this I also agreed thats a hardware problem but am not technition so am afraid to open my phone myself to try and fix this if anyone has time r any videos showing were the wifi antena is located becouse I tryed to look for it but no luck just posting a video or picture of it will be greatly appreciated and again thanks for the wiki it looks like a hardware proublem :( but some people fixed it it was software for some and hardware but if it dont work no mater how much rom we flashed becosue I even tryed the WM5 and if that dont work then it must be a hardware problem.

PS when you try to turn on wifi does your PDA gets warm like you can feel it warming up?

I removed the battry cover like the wiki said and it seems to work I sow the wifi icon on but left now am able to go to the wifi settings but still it wont trun on al see what I can do but this is a big improvment so far :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] srabd:
Also in the wiki you can find the "HTC Universal Service Manual" which have a very complete guide for disassembling the universal (it starts at page 12). You can see a photo of the wifi antenna location at page 18.

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC Universal Service Manual

Maybe a few...

Sometimes after a soft reset Windows Mobile says my wifi is turned on, but I can't find any access points, and my MAC address is different time to time... Then I turn off wifi and I can't turn it on again...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lyndel4:
Thats different to what I have my WIFI wont turn on no matter what I do even after a softreset I dont understand it I removed the battery cover like it said in the wiki and it worked for a secound but thats it it wont anymore and I even read the service manural they show the picture of the antena on my Device but not the WIFI antena plus not even the service manurals have solutions for the WIFI problem if you got any luck with your let me know ok :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lyndel4:
Hey I found this maybe you can give it a try and let me know if it works for you ok :)

Wifi wont start Solution!

Hi,

I have found a way to fix this!

if your Wifi is not damaged (Broken hardware) then this solution will help you to fix the starting problem...

Works for HTC HD

but may work for all, its a simple action.

do this:

go to HKLM\ControlPanel\wifi\UIDelayAfterBoot=220

if you dont have this DWORD then create it!

It's will start the WIFI after 220 seconds on boot!

If your full boot takes less then 2 minutes, then you can change to 150

This fixed my problem!!!

Please reply if it solved your problem.

Good luck

Something Different worked for me

Great thread, so glad I found it. I tried the 'create new DWord' and that enabled me to get WiFi running after a reboot, but then noticed I had an extra folder 'ETHERNET' which wasn't on my other devices (I have 3 Universals at the moment) so I deleted it, re-booted and now all is well!

Back to Square One!

So I'm playing with my second XDA again and I have my original problem where the wifi won't switch on. I've tried lots of different ROMs, including the latest T-Mobile ROM and I can't get the wifi back on. Earlier in this thread,

but it seems this link no longer exists.

Does anyone have a link to the info, or any other ideas of what i can try?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] orb3000:
Have a look here, hope it helps on your problem
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] phil.cooke:
Thanks, but I'm not sure how linking me to a stickied thread that doesn't mention wifi issues will help me? I've got roughly 20 ROMs available to me already without needing to look through the sticky.

If you have a link to the dis-assembly thread specifically mentioning the wifi issue I'd appreciate it. I already have the service manual that shows the WiFi antenna but no details as to what to try if it works intermittently.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] phil.cooke:
No Further Forward

Well I'm still trying different things. Have tried going back to the base T-Mobile ROM and working forward from there. I even went as far as to lock my extended ROM and had to unlock that again. Tried the SIM unlock again, tried radio 0.00.00 and then 1.18, back to 1.15 now.

I've tried a whole variety of different ROMs but no success either way.

Any other ideas as to what I can try? I've tried a few gentle drops to see if it's a dodgy connection but nothing else so far.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jwhistler:
Verizon (and Samsung, too) would prefer that you help boost their profits by purchasing a new phone.

The S4 would probably run Marshmallow perfectly fine...if Big V put its mind to it. However, by the time they pumped-in all their bloatware and crapware onto the phone, it would run so poorly that you would throw your hands up in exasperation and run out and buy a new phone!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
The s4 will not be getting 6.0

Will anyone make a rom that's flashable for people who don't have mdk? Because looking at some of the screenshots it looks aesthetically way better than lollipop.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jam0688:
Unfortunately you're stuck on lollipop. Even if someone was to try to port a MM TW rom over to the s4 without the firmware or modules to support it it would be pointless.
[Samsung Gear S2] burtonfamily101:
I have the AT&T S2 3G but with my Nexus 6. I realize now that of course my Nexus doesn't work with NumberSync so I am stuck with auto call forward option. I am debating of move from the N6 to maybe a Note4 least until I can get a S7 when it comes out. Here are my questions,

1. How does text messages work, Will they both show up on the watch and phone? For example if I leave my phone behind and I get a text and respond on 3G just with the watch. Will I see my reply on my phone when I go back home to use it? So my text log will be the same on watch/phone..?

2. One last one is getting phone calls, I am assuming that with the on BT only my phone will ring. The watch will ring only when its on 3G mode right?

Sorry if these are dumb questions, the guy at the AT&T store couldnt give me a for sure answer at all.. I'd rather trust you guys here instead.
[Samsung Gear S2] slaytanic:
Actually, it's easy to get numbersync to work. :) you just need to update the imei in att system with an att phone that supports volte, even if you're not actually using that phone. :). Did it with my moto x pure.
[Samsung Gear S2] burtonfamily101:
I tried that with my wife's S6. But soon as I put my sim back in the N6 I got a text saying it was turned off. Can you explain on what you did exactly?

Thanks
[Samsung Gear S2] slaytanic:
I called them and said I was using an HTC desire 626, and changed the imei to match an att 626, then put the sim into my moto x pure, and set up number sync. Maybe the n6 is just a jerk when it comes to that? There is a soc code that care can add "numbersync on" that MIGHT help with the issue.

---------- Post added at 08:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 PM ----------

I actually have the 626, and waited like an hour before swapping sims.
[Samsung Gear S2] burtonfamily101:
Was the HTC desire 626 an extra phone? Guessing that I will need an older phone to lie about my IMEI #.
[Samsung Gear S2] slaytanic:
Yes, I had to finance them to get the credits for porting my numbers over with directv and unl. I may have a damaged HD voice phone at work that you could use the imei from. (All legit, phone with cracked screen used as a trade in to "recycle" ). PM me if needed.
[Samsung Gear S2] Zagzagel:
I have an iPhone 6 Plus and an international Samsung Galaxy A8 with no HD Voice or VoLTE. Since my SIM card is tied to an iPhone plan, Numbersync works no matter which phone I have on me. For example, if I have the SIM card in my iPhone 6 Plus, I just leave my Galaxy A8 connected to the charger with WiFi connected. If I am away from home, my Gear S2 3G is able to connect to my Galaxy A8 remotely to receive notifications, and it will ring if I receive a call on the number tied to the SIM card in my iPhone 6 Plus.

There is now a work around for the watch not being free with a purchase of a galaxy device. :). Make sure they look up the coupon code
[Samsung Gear S2] burtonfamily101:
Thank you! I got the NumberSync to work perfectly. However I seem to have lost VM. Did that happen to you?

And thanks for the heads up about the promo. I still might just keep the N6 now that I got NumberSync working.

[Samsung Gear S2] burtonfamily101:
I was trying to have the same VM as the phone. But for whatever reason if the watch has numbersync on it get a busy signal. Ive tried messing with the actual voicemail number on the watch itself to match the phone but no go. I may have to call ATT again but dont want them to tell me that me IMEI dont match.
