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..

-->
synchronization error and a messege appears.. "Windows Live is unable to connect. The service may be temporarily unavailable, or you may be in a place where date coverag isn't very good. Pls try again."
<--

I had posted about this earlier. I had similar problem. Then I went to MS site to seek help and got my answer.
Copy paste the url address and try to sign in from normal PC.
thats what I did and now I have no problems.
Hope it helps.

thanx for your reply aniel1,
could you please further elaborate which URL are we talking about??... when i get the error, it doesn't gives any URL address. if what you tried to say was sign in with Windows Live on desktop PC then i did it already and it works fine... but doesn't get signed in on my UNIVERSAL.
am i missing anything?

farehmani... have you tried this...
connect the unit to PC via USB and let it sync with AS. Once completed, open Live. It will open GPRS to sync, cancel the GPRS connection via the bubble on the top bar. Once cancelled, Live should try to sync via AS and it should be successful.
Hopefully once it's fully synced with the server you shouldn't have anymore problems connecting. Let us know how you get on.

hi SpyderTracks,
i havn't had tried this solution so far, i would love to give it a go... but at the moment,,, i'm using vista and i am unable sync it with Windows mobile device center... i don't get the sync option. just the file transfer.
do i have to experiment your suggestion in winXP?

Interesting... my flatmate is having the same problems in Vista for some reason we can't seem to work out... that's one of the many reasons I returned to XP I know it's old but at least it works
I don't know if it will work without WMDC recognising the device, but in theory it should anyway, so long as it's recognised by Vista as a mobile device... in theory Give it a go, let me know. Good luck!
I can't remember if you tried with wireless, but you can try that too after disconnecting the GPRS connection, just connect to wireless and try syncing. Sorry if that was the original problem, I'm really tired and my memory is failing me.

cheak your connection setup

You may need to check whether your WIFI connections, or 3G or GPRS connections are set to "work" or "the internet".
also check our internet exceptions and and see if you are inadvertantly blocking your IP address ranges.
you could also try and check that your "network card" setting is using "the internet" as compared to the specific WIFI AP connection type.
I had similar problems and its likely to be due to this, you need to really have them set to "The Internet" in your WIFI, in your AS and in your GPRS or 3G internet connections.
I only use it on WIFI at home or work, NextG or 3G is just to expensive to use, all need to be set to "The Internet" and when the 3G/NextG connection bubble comes up, I just cancel it and then it goes to the WIFI connection.

Thank you for your help... But believe me: It's not a network problem.. For a lot of reason..
It doesn't work even by my ADSL (using Active Sync), It works ONLY when i delete my user/pass and i connect for the first time! Every time i want to use i have to do this workaround... So it's not a connection problem.. Because it works.. ONLY the first time..

T Mobile & instant messengers

Did T Mobile UK block the IM ports?

in t-mobile ger they are blocked, but i can still access them with palringo or other encrypted apps tho

I haven't tried my phone-as-a-modem connection in a while, and yesterday when I tried it I could not connect to any messenger.
It's a shame, it was a good service.
Anybody knows if O2 UK blocks the ports?

did u try palringo? if it doesnt work, something must be wrong with your data connection, works for SO many people...

Well, I was trying from my PC (as opposed to running palringo on the phone)

WiFi problem

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...
Dirk

Hmm
I havent tried deleting cookies and skyfire
Now ill try all of the above and report back!

Internet Connection Settings?

Hello,
I have re-flashed my Cingular 2125 with the latest Radio and 6.5 ROM, just to keep it in my laptop bag as a spare. (My TP2 crashed on my last trip, and I realized I should keep a second phone with me).
The phone seems to be working properly after the flash--I can make and receive calls, and the "E" is displayed in the taskbar (which I assume means it's connecting to the Edge network since I use AT&T), but when I open IE, I can't get to any pages becuase it says my connection isn't setup properly. Any ideas what settings I need to change?
Thanks for the help!

Just giving this a bump, hoping for some help. Thanks!

Most probably you will have to set this manually for the GPRS connection. If you are lucky, then the HTC connection Setup (search the forum) may set it up for you. It is tedious to do though...

Thanks for the help. The HTC Connection Setup tool didn't work, but it got me on the right track and I found what I needed. Good to go now!
