E-TEN X800 Blog 2: Wi-Fi = No-Fi
Posted on 09 February 2008, at 2:49 pm, by Christopher Spera
One of the biggest draws to all of E-TEN’s devices is their radio offerings. Since the very beginning of my association with them, they’ve had just about ever method of connectivity known to man jammed in their device offerings:
- Quad-Band GSM
- EDGE (now 3G) Wireless
- 802.11b/g Wireless Networking
- GPS
That’s one HECK of a lot of connectivity for one device. E-TEN also tends to make their devices relatively affordable, considering everything that their devices do. However, not so much on my particular X800…
Shortly after I posted the unboxing of the X800, I started getting an error message from the Wi-Fi radio. The error is very cryptic and the Wi-Fi radio will NOT turn on:
Error
hwifi_off_result = ?
I have NO idea what this means other than it is broken and it will not go. Up to this point, I haven’t heard anything back from E-TEN about this problem. I first tried contacting them about it, about a week or so ago. If anyone out there with an X800 has seen this, heard of this, or is experiencing this, I’d appreciate a heads-up on where you are with the problem right now. I am still trying to research it and haven’t found a resolution as yet.
I will keep everyone posted…
