HELP! Solve an Internet/WIFI problem, win $$
Okay, to anyone who can solve this problem I will send them $10 via paypal.
So i've tried almost every Diamond ROM that interested me and the one that meets my requirements the most is MightyROM 4.8. However, that even has quirks that are becoming annoyingly unacceptable. Keep in mind that I have never had this problem before on my Touch Pro or any other Windows Mobile device.
Here's the dilemma, and I'm not sure if this is ROM related or is just how the Diamond is.
The way my wireless router is setup, is that it does not use DHCP, meaning to connect to my Wifi, I have to manually enter an IP address into whatever device i'm connecting with, OK so I enter my router information into Start>settings>connections>wifi>network adapters>IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-FI Adapter> 192.168.1.101, 255.255.255.0, 192.168.1.35, OK, Connect to my Wifi. All goes well. BUT now EVDO won't work! What? Yup, when I turn wifi off and am trying to connect via evdo, it gives an error about not being connected to the internet, even though the data arrows are lit up and it seems to have connected.
Here's the strange part, the minute I remove the settings for my router from IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi Adapter, my EVDO starts to work. But when I want to use Wifi again, I have to enter the settings all over again. Annoying? Yes very. It's as though EVDO is using the IEEE settings when it shouldn't.
So far I have not tried any other ROM other than MightyROM 4.8, so i'm assuming this is specific to this ROM as none of my other phones have ever had this problem before. What gives? Someone shed some light on this please.
EDIT: After more testing, i've discovered that when ip settings are blank, and evdo is working, I can enter my ip settings WHILE the evdo connection is active and have it still work until I terminate the connection or soft reset my phone, then it goes back to not working until I remove my ip settings for Wifi...
Infact, SOMEONE test out this scenario, enter some random ip address into IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi Adapter while EVDO is off, and see if it'll work afterward.
