Trouble with WM6, Internet Explorer Connection

Hello,
I have trouble to get my internet connection work. Normally i go to Start->Settings->Connections->Connections and rightclick on the existing connection.. Then my PDA connects. But after upgrading to WM6 my PDA does nothing.. I tried to execute welcome.exe again ( maybe two missing files) but this didn't work for me...The Settings for the connection are the same as i have used with WM5.
Pleaaase help me ? anybody?
Thanx

I found that if I have GPRS running with the Smart1 Rom, and I then disconnect it, I can only get it to reconnect by either soft-resetting the phone or toggling flight mode on and off. Did you hard reset your prophet after flashing the WM6 ROM?

WM6, Ie, GPRS
Yes, i made hard resets for several times now, but the internet connection doessn't work. Maybe a language problem?

Do you guys only get a "x" at the GPRS icon? I have run cabs to install network setting of my carrier correctly, but still unable to connect to the internet via GPRS. no matter using IE or MSN or or Worldmate

Nope.. My Device doesn't do anything at all. Normally i would get this message that my device is connecting. but i do not even get an error message. The same situation when i try to send/receive Emails...
???! quite annoying..'cause my settings ( proxy, Accesspointname etc. is 100% correct, because this are the settings that would work for WM5..

This is the same situation that I mentioned. Don't know how to fix on this Smart1 NEW rom v1.

So it seems to be a Bug.. I hope it will be fixed in further release. I am wondering that nobody else have this problem ?? I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299023, so i guess that my Network (O2) does not have a 100% functionallity..
Additionally i' ve tried the AKU 3.3 ASERG Rom. Here the Inet Connection works, but the ROm doesn't have this Look&Feel of WM6.. The Today Skin is like on WM5 ...maybe this can be improved?

I had the same problem and found the answer. Go to Settings>connections>WLAN settings>Power mode in power mode change the power save mode to Best performance instead of Auto. Once this is done it should work.
Stupid that it comes configured not to work out of the box. I was getting ready to return mine before I found the solution online. Hope it works for you.

thx man, i tried tht but still wont work, i tried keeping the bluetooth on as well... nuthing...

hey i'm kinda having the same problem..
i've read over almost all the threads on the board but just wanted to confirm..I have to setup manually a GPRS network in order for DATA via GSM to work? I'm in Canada and data here is insanely expensive so I only want to use Wifi. Just trying to make sure that it won't connect without me knowing it.
Also when the right LED at the top blinks green, meaning its connected to the network. Does that mean its connected for regular voice, or connected for Data?
Thanks guys. New but I hope to catch up fast with my new toy.

What you have to do is go to comm manager and press 6. Let me know if work. Good luck!!!

Hi,
I have the same issue, and Comm Manager the option 6 is grayed out and not available. Is that because I need the admin rights ??

settings-connections-menu-advanced.
the for internet choose whatever wifi access point that is saved in there.

Does anyone have the solution for this problem. I also have the problem that my s710 connects with my wifi-internet, but the internet itself cannot be used. I get the error "cannot connect the internet".
I have had internetconnection yesterday, the day that i bought the phone. But now, it doesn't work anymore.

thanks guys, it worked for me like a charme!!!

universal and wifi

hi everybody! finally i got this wonderful mobile phone! i'm just disappointed by the fact i can't connect to any wireless network... not even mine, which is proprly configured... i can obtain the list of all the networks, i see if they are free, if they are encrypted and so on, but when i try to connect to mine or the free ones appears "connecting..." and then it skips this connection and try with the following one... how comes it does so? i tried with different versions of OSs but it's always the same issue... i also disassembled it and everything is it its place... can anyone help me please? thanks

Welcome to forums
Yes, you have one of the best devices ever made!
Try a hard reset or reflash another ROM
Here instructions:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
Good luck,

already tried, but nothing... i tried to use the tomal one, the italian one and the chinese one... but it's not working... do u have any idea why? in my opinion the hardware it's fine, as long as it can see the networks the wifi is working. but the software is not responsible because i tried 3 different roms and it's always the same... i really can't imagine where could be the cause...

Try to do A doc format

what do you mean?
EDIT: now i read about it, i already did it and i'm flashing right now!
EDIT 2: No, it's not working... always showing "connecting" but then just goes back to "available" status for the network, it just does not work...

OK one thing you should notice is Universal is only capable b class of wireless so.. and see what class of wifi modem you have and try to install following cab (which i got from Jonny) it should make it capable of wifi b and g and see if problem still presists try another wifi modem and still same then i suspect it might be hardware issue....

also, isn't the radio responsible for wifi connection? perhaps try a different radio?

mine is b/g both active... i'll try that rajivshahi!
@jonny: i both tried .18 and .15... should i try the previous ones?
EDIT: I tried installing that .cab, but it's not working... do i have to do something in particular after installing it? what do you mean by hardware issue? what could be wrong with it if i see the networks?

the cab just creates a some registry. so try to connect to other modem and see... if everything fail then it might be issue with uni's hardware... as if it was software issue flashing to another rom and another radio should fix it...

just a quick question.... does it connect to a open network or is it just the encrypted oneş.... i cant connect to any other than a WEP network...???

Try this (Configure Wireless Network, DON'T activate "This is a hidden network")

Maybe this will help:
In my case, after a hardreset, I cannot connect to a Wi-Fi Network until I do the following.
1.Turn on Wi-Fi--> when your network shows up, enter the Network key and hit "Connect". (Here is, where the device tries to connect, but does not! IS THIS YOUR CASE?)
2.Go to Wi-Fi-settings (through the Communications-Manager) --> push and hold your finger on your network to open the context menu --> select "edit".
3.At the "Configure Wireless Network" page make sure the check for "This is a hidden network" is NOT set! --> Hit "Next".
4.At the "Configure Network Authentication" choose for Authentication "WPA-PSK" and for Data Encryption: "TKIP". (Make sure the Network key is entered.) Hit "Next" and then "Finish."
Again your device will try connecting and (hopefully ) be successful!
Cheers,
mdajj

RAM: 64MB
Radio: 1.18

Welcome aboard
Thanks for that tip, hope can solve the issues some members reported

the point is that i can't connect to open networks... now i don't have any encrypted networks i can access... and i tried to set the networks as not hidden, bit it's not working... mdajj got exactly what happens to me "hit "Connect": here is, where the device tries to connect, but does not!" and it shows directly "unavailable status for the network, while the router is on the same desk i am sitting in front of. T_T
now i start thinking that the uni can connect only to encrypted netwoks... how could it be? i bought it because of the opposite reason...

Wifi cannot connect if signal is too low.
Unmount the device, check the wifi/antenna connection and make sure that it is not getting touched with other assembly...

i already did it, and i checked again today, the antenna is fine it does not touch anything and its shape is perfect... BUT today i noticed something missing, i have no idea why i never noticed before... the conductive tapes are missing, but even if they were in place, they'd not touch the antenna, so i guess it's not a problem... am i right?

wifi connection problems
Can I suggest a non technical approach. I also had a lot of problems with wifi a couple of years ago, it turned out to be the BATTERY I had a noname battery from Hong Kong that I think just wasn't generating enough power. The phone and everything seemed to work fine except for wifi. When I replaced the battery wifi suddenly worked perfectly. If you know anyone else with a Uni that works on wifi swap the battery and give it a try.

i also thought about that, but even when the power supply is connected to the phone wifi does not work... and then i have 2 batteries, one is not original, Yaobao brand, and the other one seems to be original, but with both does not work... [both 1620mAh]

Thinking about this, I don't know whether this is relavent, or simply an earth... but the original battery has metal case (or partially), which has a contact pressed to it when inserted in Uni. I have replacement batteries with solely plastic cases, so the contact isn't made. This doesn't affect my wifi, but it's just a thought.

yea, u r right, i did not noticed before... i have both kind of batteries, with one it makes contact, with the other it doesn't... and it's still not working! by the way thanks for the help!

Blow some hot air around the board (if you have a hot-air-station). This is the last thing you can try.

Hello
I have installed this cab without success ( i have also restarted it ...)
Thank you for your help

then turn off standby of your PPC, let it be ON all the time

crazy solution i need a power battery so
i have found some settings for a HD2 but nothing for Diamond 2,

Try this one - been using it on my TD2 for ages & works a treat!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=483149

well this topic has long been discussed
According to my knowledge, the only way to having wifi always on is to disable the power timer say like "if device will turn off in a minute or so". I personally have tried so many apps which are claimed to having wifi always on, but most of them are in vain, then finally i got one to get it to work is "Oldsap Dontsleep". It does very simply job, just yr device won't go off, that's it
thanks

You can try 2 things to see whats the problem:
Find another router and try with that one.
Try to connect to another network and see if it works.
If none of the above works, then we are talking of a defective phone most probably.
EDIT: Something that you can try right away is to switch the authentication on the router to something else for example WPA2 and see if that helps.
EDIT2: Also be sure that the DHCP on the router is active. Kinda lame I know but it can cause such problems.

Try to switch the authentication first if you havent done it already. Just to try to do something while waiting 2 days

Go to your neighbour and try to connect on his wifi ,if it works then you have to reconfigure your network,if not then it's probably phone defect ..
