I recently went through the whole spiel to flash Faria's new ROM to my Wizard, everything worked out great and I love the rom and all of its little goodies and doodads but there's one thing that does bother me and I'm sure there's a simple soultion....
Windows Live Messenger will not connect over WiFi, it always tried to get on my EDGE/GPRS for some reason, and when i used it with EDGE everything worked great? Any ideas or solutions?
Try connecting to messenger with the phone switched off but with wifi connected. It will use the only available connection. You can turn the phone radio back on once connected and it will still use wifi.

i had this issue too. since i NEVER use gprs (i don't have a data plan, do not intend to get one, and don't won't the bill if i use it), i reflashed and refused the carrier customization. without customization, my phone has no gprs connection configured and won't even try to connect via gprs.
I´m using TNT 19199.1.0.0 and Windows Live Messenger 10.6.0034.0800
I´m not able to connect thru Wi-Fi neigther. I´ve tryied disabling the phone radio and enabling the wi-fi only. Doing this, I can surf the web, and even log into messenger but on the internet explorer brownser (really bad), but still the Windows Live Messenger won´t connect. It would try to do it, even for some time (1 minute at least) but then it would give an error.
Even I can´t chech the hotmail messages using wifi, on the windows live messenger application, still i can log into hotmail on the web-brownser.
It´s seems that the Windows Live is trying to connect only using the GPRS data, regardless if there´s no GPRS data session, or even the Phone Radio turned off, and even with the nice Wi-Fi connection up and running fine.
Any different approach?
i used to have that problem, but sovled now
i did have the same situation
but i download another version which not add contact to my phone contact, it works perfectly~
no matter Wifi or GPRS, just talk anywhere~~
link please.
I have had my Fuze for a couple of weeks now and with all of the smart phones that I have had before this have all had the same issue for which I could not figure out a solution for it is a weird internet issue
some of the error msgs that would come up would be from opera and it would say something like "could not find proxy server" or "network problem"
when it tries to connect to the data network. But note that it can connect to the data network just fine just no use of the internet on the device for apps like Opera, Fring ,ect..
For example when I am using my device to surf the internet or something. after a while lets say I want to check an email or something that requires the use of the data connection for some odd reason the device wont connect for anything in the world it will just say can't connect to network. I have tried many trouble shooting techniques even actually listened to an att rep and followed their directions. But to no avail, I often turn to my last option hard resetting the device restoring the data and hoping that the issue will not come back. But it does after a while.
Now here is where the twist comes in.
I am still able to get a internet connection to my ipod touch via wm wifirouter 0.91.
so that is where the true issues comes in I can use the internet on my ipod touch via wm wifirouter but not on the actual device its self.
if anyone happen to have any advice or what not please feel free to send it over it would really help me out and others as well of course and if not at least this issue can be looked at by a future scientist for a possible cure
Hi there.
Just got a new HTC Titan on WP7.5, and it has come to my attention that annoyingly, whenever I try to download anything from the Marketplace through 3G, it sticks on the "Downloading..." screen. However, when I attempt to do this via WiFi, it downloads without trouble. I've had a look at a couple of threads with this same problem and there doesn't seem to be a true fix available for Windows Phone users. I've tried hard resetting the handset to no avail, and it's worth noting that the content I'm attempting to download is under 20mb.
Secondly, I seem to be having a problem connecting to Facebook/WLM Chat; on 3G, it connects successfully, displays online contacts and receives messages. Only problem being that, given about 30 seconds, it will randomly disconnect me. This leads me to have to resync both my Facebook and Live account for the chat to work again... for another 30 seconds.
Again, this works flawlessly when done through Wi-Fi - so you're most likely thinking that it's down to the network, right? Well, the browser works just fine on 3G at all times, so I'm unsure whether to blame the ISP for this one.
Any help would strongly be appreciated.

Can no-one actually offer any type of solution here?
Hi lately i have been experiencing troubles with my wifi.
The router signal is strong and whenever i turn on my phone it will be connected in less than a few seconds but WITHOUT connectivity. (ie. the wifi symbol shows connected but i cant browse the net)
The only work around for this is to manually disable and re-enable wifi for my phone to be truly connected. (Which is very tedious)
I know this may be a router problem as well but in the past i didnt have this issue.
Im using HTC Mozart 7 - updated to 8107
I was wondering if anyone is having this issue too and knows of a solution to it.
Thanks
unplug the router and plug it back in (after 30 seconds)
Home routers are noted to stop handing out addresses at random times. Rebooting re-enables this so the phone can get an address and get on the net.
Hm my router is working properly. All my other devices are connected with connectivity. Whenever i turn on my phone, it also says connected (but without connectivity), so the work around is to disable and re-enable my "phone" wifi and then my phone is connected WITH connectivity.
To do that is quite tedious every single time... and it seems like a connection bug in my phone if all my other WIFI devices are connecting properly
Thanks
Hi guys.
I have the same issues with my Omnia 7 too. Started a few days ago. Cant sync emails, nor surf on my phone. It seems like itss connected to my network. I have my latop and other phone working on it like a charm. Any ideas?
Hi,
I have the same problem on my Omnia 7 and it all started after the 8107.79 OS Update.
The WiFi works fine when you first connect but after the phone is not used for a few minutes and I turn it on, it's shows as connected but I can't load any websites.
If I disconnect the WiFi and connect again it works fine
This is a serious issue!!!
I have also tried to restart my router but this didn't solve the problem.
Did you guys found a workaround?
Thanks!
Same here
I have the same problem (after 8107 update).
It connects to my wifi, and strangely sometimes (but that's rare) working, and get pages to load on, but then it shows the connection, but can't load any page in IE.
Also, reconnecting doesn't solve always the problem.
Any suggestions what to do?
After i have done a hard reset, and reverted back to 7740, i don't got any problem to cennect to my home wifi.
But the disappearing keyboard is really annoying, so i want the 8107 update features, but not the bugs of it.
Still no other one have problems with the wifi connection @8107???
We are 3-4 who got the problem, so i don't think its so user specific...
Another news
After reverted back to 7740 i decided to update one more time to 8107. (If something will go wrong then I have a backup of my Omnia7 with WP7 Easy Backup).
So i updated to 8107 one more time (no KK2 update arrived, CSC and PDA is KI4), and now the wifi connection works fine.
So try to revert back to an earlier version (with a backup), and then update again, maybe it can solve the problem
Yea.. but that is really random then... its like saying ur update is better than my udpate!! haha even though its the same material overall
Im sure more people have this issue as well just havent seen this thread
Hello ! I have the same problem with my HTC HD7 I have to take off the battery to let WI fi work again this is very annoying!! A fix for this please!!
Sent from my HD7 T9292 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
count me too ! Omnia W
Not working - again
I've done a backup in 7740, so i reverted to it for 1 day, and there was no problem with the wifi.
Then i decided to give another try on 8107 - and it worked well for 3-4 hours. That was 2 days ago (as you can see in my earlier posts)
But now it have the same problem, connects to the home wifi, but after a while the internet is missing, however the connection remains! Can't load any page on IE and can't connect with any app that needs internet connection.
This is a serious problem, and i see that others have this problem too, so we should deal with it!
Any expert that know something about this issue?
HTC Trophy with the same WiFi problem.
I have same problem on my LG Optimus 7.
anyone with problems receiving incoming calls too? sometimes freezes the screen and have to take the battery out and put it again to reboot!
Same problem here with HTC Titan. The prob started after the 7740 update. Now running 8107. Turning the WiFi off and on again does work (thanks Mercea2) but, as he says it is tedious.
I'm having a similar (same?) issue on my Omnia 7 - the problem hasn't always been there though.
I've come up with a work-around - turn off 3G data while in range of WiFi, and turn WiFi off when not in range and switch 3G data back on.
If only one is turned on at a time, my people hub updates instantly. If both are on, it takes many attempts and a long time.
Seems like there is some issue switching between 3G and WiFi...
3G/wifi not working together
As someone said it before, the wifi keeps giving errors if 3G data connection and wifi is also turned on!
If i switch off and back the data connection switch (!!), then the wlan works again for a while. If i switch data totally off then works flawlessly.
Any workaround for that?
Maybe a homebrew, that can switch off data connection temporarily, if the phone is connected to a wifi network, and after disconnecting it will switching back. But I think if it can be done, than just on fully-unlocked roms (i have Omnia7, and unfortunately DFT SammyRainbow is not ready yet)
My wifi/3G problem started with the 8107 update (Omnia7, not KK2).
So any suggestions what to do?
Ok.... this is getting on my nerve... whats the point of having wifi on if it doesnt connect the moment that its suppose to!!!
Can we inform anyone about this?
Same problem here with HTC mozart after the update... worked for 2 days and then no more wifi
Hope microsoft put an update soon
Hi guys,
I have a Virgin Media Hub (VMDG480) and 3x WP7, a HD7, a TITAN and a N 710.
I'm having some serious problems with connecting to the internet.
I connect to my WiFi and it works great, I can go to wherever I wish.
However when my phone locks it's screen and I try browsing again, it just fails, it says We're having trouble displaying this page.
I've restored my router to factory defaults.
I've hard reset my HD7.
I'm still having issues. Is anybody else having similar issues?
I don't really wanna call Virgin Media 'cos they're all useless and they will tell me that it's my devices.
Also, I just managed to load google after 2mins, and I checked my IP and it isn't the same external IP as my router. Do WP7 default to 3G if the WiFi connection fails?
:-(
Yes, WP7 will fall back to the cellular data connection if it's unable to access the requested server over WiFi. The fallback typically takes no more than 30 seconds, sometimes less.
Sorry, didn't even realise I had a reply.
Thanks for that answer, anybody else had issues with the Virgin Media hub and WP7?
