WiFIi problems XDA !!I

Hey I was wondering if some one could tell me what im doing wrong. Im trying to get onto a network it lets me connect to it but wont let me do anything els i cand use the web or anything
anyone got any ideas on what i should be doing. the wifi connects just fine but when i got to use anything on the net it wont work.
o and the wifi is my nabours. i asked him he sed it should work
thanks

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..

WiFi internet issue on WM6

I`ve got a T-Mobile MDA with WM6 and I cannot access the internet through WiFi. The access point that I connect to is working cause I am able to access the net fine on my laptop. I made sure that my network cards are set to connecte to the internet. I even did a softreset after I made the changes.
My internet explorer just sits there on locating. I am not sure if its just my WiFi card configured incorrectly within WM6 or if its a reg setting that isn't set right.
If anyone had this issue before and got it fixed let me know or give me some direction to start.. thanks in advance for your help.

This is a fairly common problem. For me disabling the Wireless G option in the registry did the trick:
Registry: HKLM\COMM\TNETWLN1\PARMS
Key: dot11SupportedRateMaskG
Value: 1

so I diabled it, soft restet, verified that the reg change sticked, which it did. I tried to access the net again with no go.

me too
I have the exact same problem.

Not much discussion about this
I tried the G fix. Didn't work. Funny thing. It started when I installed MB. Downgrading DIDN'T fix it.

Try setting the the Network Card to connect to "The Internet" instead of "Work"

they are set to that..

That actually worked for me. (The Internet instead of work fix) I also made sure that all the boxes for "Server assigned IP address were checked. I could have sworn I tried that already. I wonder if it will stay "fixed". I'm due for a soft reset...seems to be working. I've been thinking all along it was some stupid setting.

check the change your dns to 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 this may fix your problem
R

Changing to Internet and setting the DNS doesn't seem to help. Funny thing is, GMail via Midlet Manager seems to work (maybe its doing GPRS?). But IE just spins at Locating...

wifi internet issue on wm6
although i have the older version of t-mobiles' mda (wm5), i had similar issues connecting to the net even it sees a lot of wireless aps. either i cannot hold a steady connection or cannot connect at all. the solution i had was changing the channel on my wireless ap and updating my mda's parameters for my local wireless security. now i can go to the web using my mda even with poor signal quality. It is possible that you have several wireless ap's at your location sharing the same channel. hopefully changing the channel solves your problem.

simple possible solution, but check the proxy settings? I know with cingular, many people had trouble browsing the internet due to the MediaNet proxy settings. they removed the proxy settings and everything was fine then.

There is a known issue with your rom your running...there has been a new release. check the MB thread and you will see a recent listing about a 6 and 4 mb page pool, the wifi has been fixed.

I have the original MB edition and I do not have any wireless problems. I know he had to fix the re-released versions as the wifi did not work with them initially, but I was unaware of a wifi problem with the initial release.

WIFI problem don't even see networks
Hey everybody, still loving this phone and its diversity, but have flashed this little piece of hardware with the mb 4mb/6mb wm6 rom only to find that WIFI can't even be turned on!. And yes I've downed the fixed versions from a certain forum. When I turn on WIFI, It just gives the symbol in the top straight away. It just can't find the networks. I even manually added a network, it then tries to find it, but simply can't. WEIRD hey.
Is there a solution for this problem, cause I really, like the look and feel of the wm6 roms over the wm5 roms.
bye all and thanks in advance for the kind replies.

Did you try using WiFiFoFum at all to see if it can find networks? I have not had any issues with WiFi with the Most Beautiful edition whatsoever. Only thing I notice is that when the machine first turns on or right after a soft reset that I need to click the comm manager icon for wifi twice before wifi will turn on. Otherwise it finds and connects to networks perfect.

Problem with MIE
i have no problem to connect to my homenetwork with WIFI, but i cannot access the internet with the internet explorer. but it works perfect with the opera browser!

hmmm..
It's weird...
I never access the internet with the internet explorer even my wifi was connected successfully while I brushed wm6 rom.
A miracle has happened Today.
I install a WIFI Device for WM5, that one is simple Chinese language.
I tried to turn on the wifi but not work.
Then I uninstall it -> restar....
Then I tried one more time to turn on wifi, ok, it's work to connect but still can't open the web page.
I check the wireless lan, switch the power save mode to best performance.
Then....I can open web page????
Wow~~ I don't know it work cause the wifi device change something or just swtich to best performance.
Maybe you guys can try.
(Sorry to reading my poor English)

Same exact issue. Pocket IE doesn't work, Opera does. Did you figure it out or get it corrected yet?

T-Mobile SDA (US) [HTC Tornado] WiFi Issue

Upgraded today to WM 6.1 by illi and rickwyatt using kar hoe's guide (great job btw very clear instructions ). I am wondering if anyone is experiencing issues with WiFi connectivity. I do not pay for a data plan and WiFi is very important to me. I tested today with my home access point and it seems that I never pass the "Connecting to Network" stage on the "WiFi Networks" page. It'll flash my AP's MAC address for a second or so, but no actual connectivity. I tried connecting via WAP-PSK security, WEP security and even no security.. all to no avail. WM 5 had this problem when AP's had low signal (it would flash the MAC/SSID and then move on to the next network), but never to the point where I could not connect. Also, I notice the WiFi icon shows as a tower with a halo and the three dots (/°\...) while it's trying to connect. As soon as it flashes the MAC/SSID the icon turns to a dead tower (/\). I was wondering if this is a known issue, and whether anyone has experienced and/or fixed this. Please advise... Thanks in advance
P.S. Excuse the crappy ASCII art in trying to get my point across. Pls let me know if you need more info.

I know that for my wep secure home network - I needed to add the phone to the network before it would be accepted. Just knowing the wep pass code was not enough
The phone would just loop trying to connect with no luck.
Not sure what software you are using on your network / wireless router - but this may be the issue.
Good luck

I normally use WPA-PSK encryption on the network. Its a linksys wrt-54g router. It runs in b/g compatibility mode. I even tried to connect w/o security period. It kept dropping after flashing the MAC/SSID.

well here's an update. i an still having issues with the wifi but i decided to spring for the data plan. it's only $20 us on top of the phone bill. i figured thats not a bad deal since internet is so important for me. i'm actually sorting this on my sda.

I do same as far as wifi (no data plan). I see you got one now btw, gl.
I use same rom and I got no problems with wifi, maybe you need radio update or something simple as that.
On my home network you need wep key and mac address added on my router in order to connect (just a thought); I use linksys and can post more details on this with pictures if needed.
Using wifi and Devicescape ain't that bad for me.
PS
I had to reply just so others who didn't try this rom know its not the rom issue about wifi - I LOVE THIS ROM

hmmm... devicescape, you say? yeah that's definitely worth checking out. i'll play around with it at some point. you are totally right though, the WM 6.1 rom is awesome and I encourage anyone who is still running Windows Mobile 5 to go ahead and upgrade. Karhoe's guide is a very concise way to make this happen. i was actually looking to get a new phone prior to upgrading. i was thinking about getting the HTC Kaiser (TyTn II) although I was put off by the issue where it was released lacking hardware acceleration support for its ATI Imageon graphics processor. I haven't had a chance to play with the wifi on other access points yet, so perhaps this issue was specific to my home router.
P.S. Thanks for your reply!

Can you link the thread for the exact ROM you used. I am getting a Tmobile SDA soon and want to upgrade it to 6.1, just want to make sure I used the right rom for that works with the SDA as there are multiple threads/roms posted one by illi and another by ricky.
Appreciate it! Thanks.

htc fuze - just arrived, can't navigate and already 3G connected

Hello everybody,
Ive just received my HTC Fuze, i was kind exited. Just taked from the box to try the 3G browsing. I introduced the access points and the l/p settings for connection. It doest connects to the 3G network, but i receive no data, can't display any information. I don't know if the Fuze is faulted or something. Any idea???? thanks in advance.

htc fuze - alreadi connected to 3G network but wont navigate
Hello everybody,
Ive just received my HTC Fuze, i was kind exited. Just taked it out from the box to try the 3G browsing. I introduced the access points and the l/p settings for connection. It does connect to the 3G network witouth problem, but i receive no data, can't display any page/information. I don't know if the Fuze is faulted or something. Any idea???? thanks in advance.
PD: weather update works, and it connects to the 3G network. but dont work in Opera/IE

there is nothing to configure with the fuze if you are on the AT&T network. all you do is put in your sim card.

I had a few issues myself. If you were using isp.cingular then it might not connect there any more unless you purchase the tethering plan. Even then, isp.cingular will only work for direct push and tethering.

Try this
Start>>>>Setting's>>>>Connections>>>>Connections>>>>set up my proxy server>>>un-check "this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet"

i wound a useful thread, where you can disable some sort of hidden proxy.cab thing installed on device (programs>proxy tools), now IE works but still no luck with Opera, im looking forward to upgrade this factory AT&T Rom because i don't feel my Fuze very smoothly
PD: also check on what you suggested, but it was already unchecked.
Thanks for helping mate

im into another network, i bought my fuze unlocked in eBay, i tried the .cab app to uninstall hidden proxy (programs>tools>proxy) and now i can browse using IE, but not into Opera.
Im looking forward to change the factory ROM because it doesn't feel too smoothly.
Any suggested ROM/Radio to install, i really don't want cooked roms with extra apps/games
thanks in advance for the help mate

If I remember right, the default Opera browser on the Fuze is set up to only work with the proxy, so you'll have to flash a new rom most likely (but you really should do that anyway.)

WiFi Router

Anyone get one of the free WiFi Router/Hot Spot apps to work in the i920?
Tried the link at /forum.xda-developers.com / showthread.php ?t=357152 [which I can't post as a noob] - program installs and runs, but no Access Point is visible to other computers.

Followed the instructions at
http : // forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20628
still with no success. No computer can see the phone as an AP or Ad-hoc router

YES! I used it on my i760 and when I upgraded to Omnia 2, that was the FIRST thing I installed. Use it everyday. Everyone in our house connects to it. Am using now to post on this thread!
Are you sure you have ICS?
I installed that FIRST, then wifirouter. Started right up.

FYI --
If you really want an updated and 100% working version of WMWR for the i920, I suggest you go download the latest trial from www.wmwifirouter.com because this new version (while it is not free, there is a 30 day trial) will automatically install and configure itself. The earlier versions were not nearly as advanced as the latest version, and it is worth every penny if you decide to buy it.

I'm typing this using the Verizon OmniaII-920 [using nothing but the files attached]. Been using this setup since the II came out. It works.......bout all I can say

thanks ChillyCat , can you provide more details.
i'm lost here

You're right it doesn't show up on my thinkpad wifi map, even if I clinck find to remap.
But if you plug in the usb cable that came with the phone you can do WIFI to USB.
This works great, and is faster than DSL.
questions to [email protected]
I tried two other progs. I now have this running and have been using it daily since 2010.
This is the only connection I use with my laptop. The only problem I've had is if I fall asleep and
leave everything on, it might hang in the morning. "time out". But then I just reset my phone and
everythings back to normal. This is the BEST router app. It connects using WiFi, Bluetooth, micro USB
or any other hardware your phone can support. Currently averaging about 3.5 Mbps

it works for omnia2 i8000. heres how: 1. install first the WMwifirouter software only on you WMphone. 2. run the software in you WMphone. 3.in your laptop or wifi capable PC search the WMwifirouter wifi signal. 4. Finally connect it. then.. it works!!! you can now start your internet.
