Can someone please tell me how I can use the wifi on my existing wireless network. The device is finding the network, but every time I try to open internet explorer, it automatically uses the GPRS connection!!!!
XDA Exec
also, can someone tell me how to deal with the device freezing up. It keeps freezing and I have to do a soft reset, about 6 times a day. I have not added any software...
1. Go to configure network adapters in settings and select "Internet" (My & Wireless network interface connects to) then secect the wireless adapter.
2. I would do a hard reset and replace it if the problem presists

Hi All,
Had a search but couldn't find anything relevant to my issue, here or on google.
I have wireless router at home and all of the necessary info to connect is stored on the phone. I use SPB Phone suit to switch the wireless on and off. However when I switch on I'd always expected the device to find and connect to it, and for some time this did happen. Now, however, I have to open the wifi settings and connect manually.
I quite happily informs me of other networks, but never connects to mine without a push.

Thanks

Ensure that you have your own Access Point set as preferred.
May be that you have had a wireless connection in another area.
Just be thankful it connects at all is my advice!
same here. must soft-reset the phone to connect at all sometimes.
how do i set my home wlan to be prefered?
I've been triying to figure this out for awhile but here's the basics of what's going on:
I have a Japanese HTC Touch Pro, (and yes EVERYTHING is in Japanese, but this doesn't really bother me.) We don't have MMS over here, so we use a constant 3G connection and mopera U to push email to the phone.
So, when i'm in my Comm Manager I have a Data connection on as well as the phone connection.
If I try to turn on my WiFi it will turn off after 3 seconds (just enables it and disables it)
If I try to use my bluetooth connection, same thing (enables BT, then turns it off again)
If I connect my phone to my PC via USB it will try to connect at first, but will suddenly disconnect after a few seconds.
Well, I figgured out that Active Sync won't allow the connection while the phone portion is turned on. Easy enough, I turn my phone into flight mode and it connects just fine and syncs. While this is a tad retarded, I will accept it.
However, In order to get bluetooth to work, i need to disable the 3G connection. Now.. here's what I don't like:
I *HAVE* to have my data connection for email/internet or anything. But, the phone will only seem to allow either the Data connection through the 3G OR bluetooth/wifi, not both.
Now, if I have BT enabled first, then try to establish the data connection I get an error telling me it cannot connect to the 3G network, same effect though, it will try.. just won't allow it.
What really makes me mad is i'm not wanting to have it networked to anything, I just wanna pair it with a headset so I can listen to the mp3 player while on the train and send out emails from my phone.
I tried calling HTC (good help that was) about it, and they suggested hard reseting the phone, soft reset, ect ect.. There's not really a problem, i'm sure there's just a setting somewhere to allow the multiple connections at one.
Does anyone know of any tricks or ANYTHING I can do so I can use my phone the way it was intended?
Did you ever find an answer to this? I am having a similar problem with my Fuze. When bluetooth is enabled, eventually the phone begins to refuse to open a data connection. :-(
No, i never found an answer. I'm not tech savvy enough to find it out.
But its REALLY annoying. I just want to use my USB headset, not connect bluetooth to any network or route messages that way.
Not sure if this is the fix to your problem, but this helped me when Wifi kept turning off, its a setting in WinMoDevCenter, it stops all data connections when connected to sync
in WinMoDevCentre go to Mobile Device settings -> Connection Settings -> Allow Data connections (last check box)
after that i was able to use wifi while plugged in just fine
Hello all,
I have just got a Sony X1. It connects to my home wireless fine. My question is once its connected will it automatically do all browsing/downloading/email through the wireless or do I have to tell it?
Im just worried because my daily 3G usage is very high (nearly 10mb yesterday) even though I try and only download large files when connected to my wireless. I want to make sure its not downloading through 3G when the wireless is switched on..
Thanks!
default is using the most accessible connection...
if wifi is connected it won't try to access the internet thru 3G..
you're safe as long as you make sure your wifi is connected and you have an active internet connection
In my case I've seen many times that the phone still uses the 3G connection even if WiFi is available and connected (maybe for power saving reasons?). So I always disconnect the 3G connection when WiFi is active. Currently I use Mortscript to do this for automatically.
If this problem occurs, you can also use a small useful app called NoData
(can be found in the forum)
Hi, Guys.
I'm pulling my hair out trying to stop my WM6.1 blackstone (Touch HD) from attempting to connect to the data connection when I do something network related on the phone. Because It's already connected to wifi.
I'm connected to wifi, and can browse the web, use messenger etc.. But if I attempt something like entering a network path like \\NETDISK\share into the file explorer, it says "Cannot connect etc..." and it's trying to connect via the HSDPA connection, which can't access my local network anyway. It needs to use the wifi...
Is there any way to stop it trying to connect? In the connection settings, I've deleted all modem connections, leaving just the wifi connectivity. If I try to add wifi as a modem, the option is not there...
I'm really lost with this. Please offer any advice you can. I'm close to twisting it in half..

Hi,
What about putting that networkpath in the adressbar of your browser ?
Dirk
I'm getting so tired of answering this question.......it's very easy
I say you should try and figure it out alone...because that's how I did it!
1- you need a modem Wifi

Gooodman, thanks for the reply, while i'm sure many will find this thread useful now, It's of no help to me.
I do have connectivity via WiFi, It's not a normal networking issue, my network is setup perfectly.
The issue is that the Touch HD is always trying to connect via other means even when wifi is available and connected.
For instance, I'll open messenger, or click download on the aGPS data, and the phone attempts to connect to the internet via my phone service provider, when wifi, is connected and ready.
Some apps connect via wifi fine, it seems to be the WM software itself attempting the connection rather than any of my applications.
I don't think it's as straight forward as the first replyer seems to think.
If he'd be so kind as to post this incredibly simple resolution, i'd be very greateful.
I also struggle with this, but this seems to affect it:
a. Start\settings\connections tab
b. Connections
c. Advanced tab
d. Select Networks button
e. Play around with the drop down menu's, especially the lower one.
I cannot be more precise as I do not completely understand myself, but this has helped me in the past.
I apologize if this has already been addressed. I looked, but couldn't find anything.
Here's my problem. I have a Tilt 8925 and WMWifi Router. My internet sharing connection settings are through Media Net. I have used this connection method for many months. Well, today, I connected my laptop through the WMWifirouter and everything was fine for about 5 minutes. Then my connection was lost, and upon trying to re-establish my connection, I notice that the internet sharing connection is trying to connect through AT&T ISP or something like that. I have repeatedly tried to switch it back to Media Net, but it keeps kicking back to the ISP setting. I have no way of connecting through ISP so, what happened and how do I fix it?
Thanks in advance!
Not sure if this is related or not. I never really paid attention to these settings before, so I can't say. If I look under the wi-fi connections settings tab on my phone, it brings up Configure Network Adapters. It is set to Virtual Ethernet Intermediate Miniport.......under that there are a whole bunch of other things. If I try to change it to IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi Ad......, it appears as if it accepts the changes, bbut I then go immediately back into the settings and it is back on the virtual ethernet setting. Shouldn't I be able to change it, and could this possibly be why I can no longer connect using the WMWifiRouter?
Any help at all, please???!!!!
Even just a response of I'm not sure is better than no response at all.
