Can WiFi be kept perpetually on

I apologize if this has been answered in this forum earlier. I searched and could not find the answer.

Here is my question. Everytime I reboot the phone, I have to manually switch the WiFi on. Is there something that I can do to make the default state on. That is, the WiFi, by default, switches on when the device is powered up--- exactly like the phone is on by default. Can this be done. Thanks in advance.
[HTC Excalibur] flaviopac:
You could do a script (using Mortscript) which swtiches on wifi everytime you reboot your phone.....

Try to ask your question

[HTC Excalibur] Empel1960:
Hi,

Just edit your registry as follows

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\TNETWLN1\Parms\HTCResumeWiFiAfterReset =1

If wifi is on before reboot it will activate when it turns on.....:)
[HTC Excalibur] debabratadey:
Thanks. That works...

Thank you very much. That worked like a charm...
[HTC Excalibur] ghostwheel:

how long does your phone last when the wifi is on all the time?
[HTC Excalibur] debabratadey:
Will find out

Will find out... Although I have a 2200 mAh battery... :)

Hi,

how I can flash *.nbh files on dash ?

what sofware I need to use fo this?

thank you!
[HTC Excalibur] xarejayx:
Deleted Windows\Shortcuts\Wifint.lnk - Can someone post!

What's up guys?

So today, I was messing around with my phone as usual, and was using the program "Startup Manager" and in the Windows\Startup\ folder there were 2 files.

btdwake.lnk

wifiint.lnk (not sure the exact file name)

anyway, i deleted the wifiint.lnk and rebooted, now i'am unable to turn wifi back on using Comm Manager.

What I need:

If someone can please post the wifiint.lnk found under Windows\Startup as an attachment to this post so i can try to upload it back to my phone and see if wifi will turn on now.

If I go to Comm Manager -> settings -> WLAN Settings -> Connection Status

I see:

Status: Driver is not loaded

So I'am guessing, the file that I deleted, handled the loading of the wifi driver.
[HTC Excalibur] Bupahs:
Creat a new lnk file yourself.

1. Open Text editor on your computer

2. Type in the following information exactly as you see it here

38#"\Windows\WiFiInit.exe"

4. save the newly created file as WiFiInit.lnk and place it on your device in the folder \Windows\StartUp
[HTC Excalibur] xarejayx:
Thank's Bupahs - Wifi is now working again :)

New Dash Battery green light too fast?

Does the Dash charge when the light is green ? I thought amber meant that it was charging and then it goes green when its 100% ?? I just bought a new battery actually and it stayed amber for about 10 minutes, then went green. Way too fast I suspected, because my original battery did this when it died whenever I used it. Could someone elaborate ?? Thanks
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Well it matters how charged the battery was when you plugged it in, if it was like at 90 percent or higher then yah it could happen in a matter of 10 minutes.

does anybody have an LED light app? or tweak or something. because i notice that the LED light doesnt flash orange when have new text, email and etc. ppc does this. and i thought smartphone does too.

what about if the wireless is from an un-secured router at my house? I am having a problem getting online. When I go to WLAN settings, it says no driver is loaded under "status"

[HTC Excalibur] ahmadiqbal:
I have the O2 branded dash. it says "xda" on the top right corner. I also cannot find any sign of wifi. under WLAN settings it says driver is not loaded. and in comm manager is only has Bluetooth and phone.

Is this the british version without WIFI? and if it is, how can I get WIFI enabled on it?

How to rid of annoying beep when wifi power safe turns on and screen switches off?

hi

i think ive located the beep noise to ding.wav in the windows folder.

i cant seem to delete or replace it.

could i change a registry entry.

i know many people would be prevented from being driven insane if this was fixed.

i have attachted a silent ding.wav which could replace it in order to stop hearing it.

cheers
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
Why do you turn the feature off?

in Settings->Power mode.....uncheck the box or set the time period for the "beep" to a longer time.
[HTC Excalibur] gixxum:
now thats just too easy...duh. we need apps to do this!
[HTC Excalibur] spitfire123123:
turning the wifi power save off will not solve the problem.

wifi will stay on unnecessarily and then you drain the battery.

WE NEED TO GET RID OF THE SOUND!!!
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
You control how long wifi can be kept on without being used in another setting.

WIFI along...will drain your battery. Period.

dash wifi problem

Hey,

I recently encountered a problem with my wifi after i installed rickywyatt v24. when i go to settings>connections>Wlan settings>connection status it says driver not loaded. Also when i go to the comm manager i click the wifi button and it loads and does nothing. I've tried hard reset loading different roms and none seem to work. I really need help. Thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Ok ummm this is weird let me check this out, I will reflash with this rom. If this seems to be the problem try to go with Kavana's Rom.
[HTC Excalibur] majedaly:
I have the same problem. Tried to update the radio version , but got error 272. Is it possible to update by a cab installation file? Is there any other solution (other than dropping the phone).

Thanks
[HTC Excalibur] cinimod1000:
Yes. Same here. Open network at work - autoconnects. WEP at home - have to manually connect. Hope this gets fixed in the release version...
[HTC Excalibur] indiekiduk:
Yep it was fixed on the HTC-S710 I tried. So likely will be fixed for HTC's WM6 for Excalibur.

[HTC Excalibur] Peacheasy:
WiFi beeps

Once my phone goes 'idle', it starts beeping if connected to wifi. There doesn't seem to be a set time to the beeps, as it will sometimes beep 30 seconds after, and then sometimes a minute after that.

I would like that turned off asap.

And the vibrate during on/off would be nice to see go away too!
[HTC Excalibur] Clymmer:
Wifi beep=annoying

I've been searching for a way to shut this notification down too. The timing is directly related to your wifi setting that controls how long after the lcd times out that wifi will shutdown.

Went throught the registry this morning but wasn't able to find anything to control the beep.

Anyone else have any ideas/leads?

C.
[HTC Excalibur] jeg815:
I'm also having this issue. My solution was to set me profile to silent. I don't hear the beeps anymore;)
[HTC Excalibur] Clymmer:
Well...that's one way of doing it. :)

I'd like to hear the other sounds though.

WiFI surfing while on a call.

For all you Dash owners, I am thinking about picking one up this afternoon and have a question. I had an E61, and I could browse the web via WiFi while I was on a phone call. I am just wondering if this possible on the Dash? Any input would be appreciated. THANKS!
[HTC Excalibur] bmwdan:
I cannot believe that this got no responses.

For what its worth (if anyone cares) you can surf the web via wifi while on a call. It is really slick if you want to look up and address or phone number you dont have in your contacts, or find information for whoever you are talking with. It is really cool.
[HTC Excalibur] fubutx:
Yes you can browse the web during a call thur wifi
[HTC Excalibur] chaznet:
...which is great but, I find myself more often wishing a call could happen during Edge internet use. If I'm streaming internet radio, or browsing, etc -- calls go to voicemail.
[HTC Excalibur] Clymmer:
Is there a reg key for this?

Has anyone found a reg key to turn off the beep notification that the Dash has dropped a wifi connection? One minute after my dash's screen shuts off, it makes a loud beep which coincides with my wifi setting to shut the wifi radio off at that time.

WM5 never made this annoying beep. Anyone found a setting or reg ky to shut this off?

C.
[HTC Excalibur] REDZMAN:
Actually, it's so simple you'll wanna shoot yourself.

None of the registry keys will stay permanantly if you change it to OFF, so just create a short 1 second SILENT .wav file on your PC, rename it to default.wav, and copy it to your /windows folder.

No more beeping.

Oh, you can make a copy of the original file if you want for backup.

THIS ALSO WORKS FOR THE ANNOYING BEEP WHEN A CALL IS INITIATED.

That file is called callstart.wav
[HTC Excalibur] Clymmer:
Brilliant!

Excellent solution. Thanks for the easy fix!

Wifi Hack?

There appears to be a wifi hack that will increase the range for wifi on your dash. I wasn't able to find it but people on the bottom of the page are talking about: http://www.slingcommunity.com/forum/thread/18402/T-Mobile-Dash-Slow-Streaming/
[HTC Excalibur] indiekiduk:
not wifi, the guy says gsm and bluetooth. Anyway it sounds like balls to me.
[HTC Excalibur] djdanska:
"I looking at between 260 Kbps and 470 Kbps on My Super Dash."

I would love to know how he accomplished this. LoL..
[HTC Excalibur] uwashock:
i did a speed test on my dash. 262-324 Kbps. I am in seattle, wa. So it is possible i guess.
[HTC Excalibur] countfloyd:
Bandwidth

You guys need to remember something important about data, whether it is wired or wireless.

The best way to illustrate what I am about to say is with a real world example:

Let's say you download a 1MB text (.txt) file over whatever broadband connection you want. So assume it is wireless in this case. Most if not all data transfer protocols have some built in method to compress the data that they are fed. In the case of the text file, that 1MB can be compressed into say, 300KB. On the other hand, let's look at a 1MB video file. These files are already compressed by whatever codec was used to create them. Unless it is a raw .avi file, it is pretty much impossible for the data protocol to compress it further. To see this for yourself, try zipping a txt file and similar sized video file and see how small their file sizes are afterward. The video file will barely change in size.

The quoted theoretical rates are usually attainable for uncompressed files but not for those that are pre-compressed. So when u download a text file or html page you will typically get higher throughputs than video.

In short, yes those rates quoted are possible but not for the slingbox :)

Cheers,

J

How is WI-FI streaming speed on your S620/S621 ???

surfing is fine on mine since page loading doesn't required much data ( I guess ) ...

but when it comes to video streaming ... it is so sluggish ... anyone find that's true ??

ex.

if I were to stream a video that requires ( 50+ kBytes ) ... the video would get sluggish and would pause so often ...

:confused: :confused:

tried streaming the same thing with my PocketPC device ( Axim X51V ) & desktop PC and it's normal though ( tested and compared ) ... thought it might be the site ..etc ... but that's not the case !!

and my S621 is even OVERCLOCKED to 240 Mhz ...still sluggish ... which is making me think that the WI-FI built in is not really capable :confused:

example stream:

mms://live30.impek.tv/loltv
[HTC Excalibur] UnicornKaz:
any feedbacks on this please ??

is it the processor issue ??? cause I know RAM wise ... we are hovering around 20MB ...

or is it just the WI-FI built in is like the old 56K modemn ??

seens 4 views on the attachment ... some feedbacks please !!

:confused:
[HTC Excalibur] djdanska:
The stream is working fine with my dash. Try changing wmp's speed to the max.I put mine at WiFi-Lan. (not even overclocked)

Push via WifI

Here's an interesting discovery I made tonight.

I decided to try a demo of Datviz's roadsync app.

I downloaded it, installed it, but when I tried to put in my mail2web exchange account, it wouldn't verify the connection, and contiue on to the serial nmber and registration pag.

Oh well, I thought, I guess it doesn't work on my phone.

Then, by chancee, I realised that Push email was working via wifi, with regular data connection turned off. I check active sync settings, and it too says it's connected.

So, it now seems I can use proper push email via WiFi.

Very cool for those who pay thru the nose for data usage, like me.
[HTC Excalibur] UnicornKaz:
Thanks for the input ...

actually ... I'd kinda put WMP in the back burner and never hardly using it at all ( useless, except in this case :p )... I only use TCPMP due to some of the "MMS" streaming ..etc

thanks for the tip ... I wondered why TCPMP doesn't have the option for internet speed setting though ..:confused:

bummer ... :cool:

when I used TCPMP on my other device ... never had a problem ( even without the speed setting ...etc )

:confused:
[HTC Excalibur] neurocutie:
I can do Slingbox over Wifi with the Dash just fine. It uses about 250kbs continuously.
[HTC Excalibur] indiekiduk:
yeh push over wifi is a new WM6 feature, its really good.
[HTC Excalibur] Henchman:
Ok, I just found out that in fact you don't need a 3rd party app for wifi push.

It's built in to WM6.

I did not know that.

Thanks for the info.
[HTC Excalibur] mofoliar:
is it for the dash? How do you setup the push wifi?
[HTC Excalibur] Henchman:
What I've done on my phone is simply left off the last letter of the GPRS config tool so it now reads: Internet.co

This prevents it from actually hooking up to the GPRS network.

I then turn on my wifi, go to activesync, and sync. After it syncs, it stays connected to my wifi network, and gives me instant push email.

No need to use wifisync anymore.

Now, if you want a push exchange account, go to mail2web, sign up for their $2,- plan. This will allow you to respond to emails and it will

show as if it come from the email address the original email was sent to. Instead of the response reading user@mail2web.com

Once you have a mail2web account, if you go into the email settings, you can click on a menu that will give you all the info you need to

connect to the proper exchange acccont.

You enter that info under the activesync server settings on your compuer.

And your done.

Slow wifi

Hello, I recently purchased an HTC S621 from my local Centennial Wireless store, it is running WM5 and ROM 1.19.422.2 and radio version 4.1.13.34_02.79.90. I very happy with it except for the fact that it has painfully slow wifi performance even when connected to my 802.11g network at home. It maxes out at maybe 8kBps and that is using mobile IE, mini opera and opera mobile. It does this where ever I am in my house and my computers have no problem running at over 4.2mbps even at the far reaches of reception. I'm running with just the default wifi settings as i don't know how to chance anything other then the encryption key. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Excalibur] snudel:
wifi is bad in that device. thats a fact.

and it is only b. so it does not matter if your access point is g or n.

you can go to the com manager and then press the right softkey (below the screen) and select wifi settings. go to power options and select best performance. that helps a little bit. but still the fact remains, that the wlan in that device is bad.
[HTC Excalibur] omaralt:
no something is definately wrong with your device. i've gotten over 1000kps over wifi with my device.

I connected to the wireless network at my church (which is only b) and it worked well, I was pulling broadband speeds even with terrible reception, but at my house it's terrible. Is it something with my network? The rest of my computers work fine. My broadband is Verizon FIOS 5-mbit

[HTC Excalibur] stevemw:
You may need to configure the WiFi settings (i.e., turn on available network notifications, networks to access) if you are not connecting to a specific AP at your work or home.

Also, check the Advanced Settings in Connections -- if you set Internet connections to Automatic it is supposed to use WiFi rather than data when you have WiFi turned on.
[HTC Excalibur] chaznet:
It works fine on my WM6 Dash -- if I had to set something to get it to work, I'd let you know -- but it just works. Have you changed your WiFi settings or something? Maybe that's interferring with things...

"No Service" after Wifi Use

Running German WM6 ROM I have noticed that leaving Wifi on seems to kill my phone service. (Where my provider was showing up it will show "No Service")

ie,

If I am using Wifi for ~1hr; it is a good chance that my phone radio no longer works.

I haven't been able to find a workaround, and require rebooting the phone.

Any insight or similar experiences?
