I've just got mine working, only took me about 4 hours of trying different things to get it working. It turned out it was to do with WEP Data encryption on my wireless router. For some reason the xda2I wasn't being sent the correct key automatically.If when you're connected to the wireless you go to settings-connections-network cards tap the name of the network & then network key you can untick the auto key setting. You then go to your router configuration make a note of the key & enter on the xda & if its the same problem i had all should be well. The easy way to check is to turn of WEP on both devices & it should work without doing any of the above.
Hope this helps,
Graham
It's also possible that the router needs to know the mac address of your XDAIIi
I use pocketWinc from www.cirond.com on mine. Only £5 or so, and better than the bult in Wireless Manager.
Thanx alot ill give them both a try

I had the same problem. It turned out that my access point was configured for "g" only. I changed it to "b+g" and it worked straight away
Thanks for all the help Its now working 100%
What would i do without this website sigh :lol:

Good, isn't it? A lot faster than GPRS, but would be faster if the XDAIIi used 802.11g. And in your case, it's free..

Hi all,
I've been searching countless forums for a solution to my problem, and I was not able to find a solution.
I purchased a T-Mobile SDA(USA, aka: HTC Tornado) with the belief that I will be able to connect to my hiome WIFI.
I tried connecting with original rom(T-mo SW 1.9.19.16) and I was able to connect to my access point, and I aquired an IP address, and everything, but internet explorer and Opera Mini browser was not able to connect to the internet. IExplorer keeps on "locating" then times out.
I am able to connect to a HotSpot location through wifi and also my G (GPRS) indicator is always on.
My guess is that TCP/IP use is somehow blocked for anything but T-mobiles HotSpots, and otherwise it tries GPRS(I do not have data plan.)
What I mean is that they restrict me to connect to GPRS or Edge in general, unless there is a HotSpot operated by T-Mobile.
Anyways if someone has an idea, please help me out, since I've spent countless of hours(not quite countless, but more than 48 hours for sure) on this, with no luck.
Please, anything, idea, reg hack, I accept anything.
Thank you.
PS: Now I'm running an iMate sp5m rom (i-mate_SP5m_WWE_1.6.331.6.exe) and nothing changed....
I'm sure this has come up before (try searching) but make sure your internet explorer isn't set to use WAP Network only.
Thanks for your reply...really appreciate it.
I was on a trip in NYC and I had a variety of WIFI spots, and to my very surprise I was able to get online through WIFI.
It seems that I still needed the iMate Rom, but my problem is my home wifi network.
It's weird since I enter my key and I get an IP, yet the connection is still not the correct one.
My next step is to look for a list of access points which have issues with SDAs, and if mine passes I'll start changing settings on my access point and go from there.
Thanks again, and if someone has a link to the list, I would appreciate it if it will post it.
And also if someone knows how to get rid of the GPRS indicator....
Thanks

If you're on WiFi, you should not be getting the G indicator; in fact, change it to E as it should be if on an Edge network (Cingular); look for a RegEdit to do that.
Re: your home connection not working. Are you sure you are on YOUR WiFi network, not a neighbors somewhere? If you have not changed your WiFi name to something that makes sense to you, I suggest you do that to be sure you are trying to connect to YOUR network. I have neighbors that have not changed their LinkSys names to something else, and there is no way for me to tell if I'm on theirs or mine unless my name is something unique to me and that I know.
Hi
Im havin a problem. In my office my HTC Prophet detects a Wifi signal and it connects to it very easily. But there is no browsing available.
Ive talked with our IT Department, they said they placed no restriction on use of WiFi and ours is an unsecure network. I gave a proxy in settings but still in vain.
My Rom details are in my signature.
Im looking forward to your help
Regards
Hey,
Have you tried connecting to any other wifi network?
Delete the settings from your prophet and try again.
Ive never had problems with wifi browsing with that rom. Does the connection work for any other apps that need internet, like weather?
Proxy settings shouldnt be needed using wifi??
Thats a good idea, ill try it on another network
Ive deleted all the settings n tried again i-e even mms and gprs settings
I gave proxy but it was in vain

yh dont even bother with proxy, its not needed for wifi, same for deletin mms and gprs settings lol... are u sure its not secured? That seems pretty slack for a company wifi lol.
Yup, its slack
Ive deleted all my settings and still no use
My colleague is running Wifi & browsing net with his nokia E-60, this means there isnt any problem with the wifi.
Yup it isnt secure, but im still unable to access it
can you update the weather using your wifi?
Did you look at Vincents thread for the rom to see if there are any problems?
No, weather doesnt update
Ive seen his thread whose link is in my signature, but no use!
ok asking the obvious now but just to check, did you hard reset after your flash? Did wifi ever work using your current rom?
Might be worth trying a reflash, backing up first of course
Yup, I did hard reset and WiFi worked after I installed this ROM on my Prophet
I think this must mean that there is a software clash with an app you have added, or registry is messed up. Have you tried deleting cookies etc in your browser? Your using Internet Explorerer yes? have you tried Skyfire out of interest?
Might be time for a hard reset...

Hi,
Do you have your device connected with a cable to charge or sync ? It might be you did not check the box in AS to allow wireless connection while connected to a cable...

Hmm
I havent tried deleting cookies and skyfire
Now ill try all of the above and report back!
hello, I recently purchased the tp2 and love it so far. I have done a number of tweaks to the phone with no issues except for the tethering one. I followed the instructions that are given to tether which included deleting and editing some registry entries but i am having an odd problem. When i go the the internet sharing program and i hit the connect button, nothing happens. the "connect" button goes gray for a couple of second the returns to white for me to press it again. the status says disconnected and never changes.
I tried a number of things such as:
1.soft reset
2.reinstalled the internet sharing and edited the reg again
3.opened a connection with my web browser first
from what i understand is that the next step after "connect" would be a prompt that says "connect your usb cable" or something like that.
Has anybody run into this problem? Can anybody give me any advise?
Thanks
Im using mine right now but Ive also had a few issues
Make sure your Data connection is active( in connections under settings) before you try to tether
Quote: "I followed the instructions that are given to tether which included deleting and editing some registry entries"
Question....where can I find these instructions....iv'e looked and can't find....THANKS!
HOW can I get Internet Sharing to work on my TP2
tp2 tethering
you dont need to make any registry changes for tethering to work. sprint doesn't see the data any differently(i have been streaming netflix through my phone to my laptop for a while). try a hard reset. with phone off hold power send call and end call buttons simultaneously until reset screen appears. follow instructions on the screen. also are you selecting phone as modem or sprint for the connection? be sure it is set to sprint. i ran into a similar issue and needed to call sprint to have them reset my data connection password and i updated profile afterwards and it worked fine. hope this helps.
I posted my tethering experience with Mogul and TP2 here.

I have tried the reg edit and it works for a while and then the phone will just power off like a soft reset.Has anyone have this issue and anyone have solutions
Thank you
I found it easiest to use the XDA-Tom Codon wifi cab for tethering. It enables you to use your phone as a wireless router for your computer and Sprint cannot see it. It works very well for me and its very fast, the only downfall is it runs your battery down considerably.....

Tethering vs WIFI use
Hi All,
First time poster here.
I have a new HTC TP2 on Sprint and love the phone. But when it comes to tethering, I have a few questions.
I finally got "Internet Sharing FIX" to work. It took a few connects of the cable to start it working.
When I installed "XDA-Tom_Codon CM Wifi Internet Sharing VGA" it seems to work but the data connection keeps dropping. Soft resets do nothing. A hard reset worked. But again after install the Internet Shareing FIX then Tom's WIFI sharing, the issue reappeared again.
It seems like these 2 cannot exist together on the phone. Is this true?
try this
install these: in order as posted make sure to soft reset after each cab
my bad here you go:

Which rom are you using? With a custom rom, does one experience these problems? I'd like to tether directly rather than wifi sharing. Does one do this with a custom rom and the above applications installed?
I am current using WiFi sharing on my TP2 with no problems from my home computer or iPod Touch but it doesn't work with my work computer due to it being locked down. :-(
If In install these three programs witll it allow me to direct connect via a USB cable?
Thnx.
I'm able to use ICS on windows vista via USB connection, but not for windows 7. Does the above fix solve the problem? (i'm using mightymike's rom)
Hello. My phone connects when I go to other people's houses or at school, but not at my house. My router is set up with a WiFi access list so that you need to enter the MAC address before being allowed to even see the network. I have triple checked that the WiFi MAC address from my phone is entered correctly as I did everything else. Does anyone have some advice?
I appreciate everyone's time!
Make sure the channel is set to one which your device supports.
I downloaded an app called wifi analyzer; will that help me find which channel to set it to? How do I know which are supported.

Go to the wifi settings (on your device) and see what channel it is set to (usually under regulatory domain).
maybe you should set the maximum number of channels, otherwise some routers might be excluded.
controls which channel is your router and then try to configure the connection manually.
Sorry for the late reply; I have been pretty busy.
I tried a variety of different channels but none of them seem to work. I had seen that the phone does not work on Channel 13 but that did not seem to be the problem. I have also tried changing the security password type on my router but that did not work either. Are there any other suggestions? Thank you again.
your router is wireless network is to advanced for phone allow you network to be seen and just have to enter a password to work it will work been there
ps when it works hit thanks please

I'm assuming you did... but just in case, you did hit the "Wifi Protected Setup" on the phone right?
I swear i'm not trying to make you sound like an idiot, but we all have our "oh damn i forgot about that" moments, know what i mean? lol
Lol no problem. But yes I did do that
i'm also assuming then that you took ALL security off your network, leaving it open with no password, and that didnt work either.
past that, I don't know what to tell you. some routers are better than others.... maybe yours just hates you?
Hey All
since upgrading to CROM-i v5 i have been having some issues with connecting to me work WiFi, i never had any issues before v5 but this seems like the only place that has issues. We use Cisco access points that run through out network and we are currently using 802.1xEAP authentication. All devices need to authenticate via MAC's which i have passed onto so they can add it in but when i enter in my details it just stays at "Connecting..." and just hangs there and never ever connects.
i use the tablet at home and it connects with no issues.
Anyone have any ideas???
Cheers

thanks again for the quick response sbdags!
So baggs, should I, a US user who is on 5.03, install WW version to try and make mine stop dropping connections after sleeping? I'm also having a hard time connecting to my ATT wireless router. And other places that I used to be connectable with before I got my 20x Dock. I love the dock but need wireless connectivity. I wanna watch movies in bed, err before sleepie time anyways.

It shouldn't drop a connection whatever version you are using. Can you capture a logcat from when you wake? Does the WiFi icon turn grey or stay blue....?
OK Will do

I keep trying to log into the network at home and on job sites but the wireless utility never seems to accept my passwords. I can't get a signal reading, which is bollocks as I see high signal strength from the access point in the wireless AP list. I will install logcat and capture some logs later.
I dont recall the wireless being this heniky before the newest ROM. :crying: Oh and sorry bought the bags, I see after more careful reading its "dags"!
seems to me that im not the only with this new wifi connection problemj hmmm i still havent been able to connect on my home wifi even with a reformat, factory reset and fresh install of the newest cromi 5.0.4

This may be mute, going to try flashing 5.04 and see if that makes a difference. But per your request Im attaching both startup and sleep recover logs. Hope it helps. I have no network connectivity at this point!
Edit0: I did the update and at first network didn't connect. So I "forgot" and then reselected my network and now I am connected and am getting email, updates from apps, and other goodies. Will try sleep and recovery to see if that works too. Just hope it works going forward so I can watch some movies and family guy episodes when trying to go to sleep. I'm happier for now at least. If this fails I will go back to 5.02.......

hey sbdags
sorry for the late reply just got back from overseas holiday and 2nd day back at work.
i reflashed using WW and still have the same issue. i think it might be y works WiFi they must have changed something and cant connect now. might have to get them to recheck that my MAC is still in the allowed group but just so weird that it stopped working.
will have to confirm what channel they are using and get back to ya. It does find the connection but when ever it tries to connect it just sits on "Connecting..." and just times out.

Just confirmed with our network guys here we dont have a specific channel set for wireless devices, they have set it to auto-select so it will choose the least congested channel and try and connect. They also auto-adjust down/up their power so they dont overlap with other points of the same network.
Dont know if that will mean much to ya sbdags. But i might try and dig up the older versions and see which version it started happening.
you recommend doing a wipe and then flashing? or is it fine to start from 5.0 and dirty flash the way up till it stops? also you recommend using a specific kernel? i have been using _that's kernel from version 5.

5.0 and dirty flash up should be fine. Also stay on that 4 as that is a stable kernel until you can determine if there is a problem.

Push and a drop down menu will appear.. Go to advanced.. If you have these options turn them off....

hmmmmmm just tried what you suggested @lj50036 actually got a little further than before, attempts to connect and does for a 1 second and then drops out and turns my WiFi off and then back on, and attempts to connect again and does for 1sec and then sits at Connecting... again and just keeps cycling around like that...
i was able to get a guest account and that connects no problems, but the way that i am trying right now actually authenticates through my domain account and allows me access to my works environment
thanks for the input guys much appreciated... i guess its just a lost cause.
