Wifi connected but still uses Edge

when i am at home i would like to use my wifi connection but it appears that it still tries to use edge. how do i configure my connections so that it uses wifi if connected?
thanks

Hey,
have you properly set up ur wifi connection on ur device including any password protection and security (WEP/WPA etc).
Also and this might seem daft, but is ur wifi connection on router properly working or have you set up any access restrictions on router?

its not a question on whether the wifi connection actually works but edge overriding it.
but... yes i did all of the necessary steps to add my device (wep password, mac address added etc...)
if i turn the phone off the wifi works just fine.
thanks for the reply.

Hy,
you have to set the networks (Internet and Private Network) to "My Work Network".
Does this not work you have to make a rom update.
Greatz

You will find it at Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> Avanced -> Select Networks

that just makes everything not work

Which rom version do you have? Which device do you have? Which Provider Label do you have?

its all in my sig

I find that if I want to switch from cellular data to WiFi, I have to hit the Data button in the Comm Manager, then hit the WiFi button. Otherwise, it doesn't seem to switch. If I just turn on WiFi, it connects, but never know which one is going to be used.

Go to:
Touch "Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > Network Selection.
Set both settings to "Office Network"
If this does not work then install a small file called "No data" or "Modaco No data"

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
no data works by removing a registry key for your connection settings..... so it will also disable your picture messaging and/or email if you use it. (just a heads up)

Internet connection problem !

Friends,
I am using HTC Touch. i ve installed gprs settings for vodafon india. internet is working very well. no problem in that. but when i setup a mail like yahoo or gmail at (start>messaging> outlook mail> [email protected]) . Setting is done. i can send and receive mails through wi fi , so mail setup is ok. BUT when i send and receive through our pre installed gprs settings it is not working. Message given check the internet connectivty. while through this setting i can exlore any web site through opera or internet explorer.
Any suggestion to solve this ? u ll help me a lot. as i want to set up a scheduler for mail checking and everywhere wifi is not available. my mail id is [email protected].
Thanks.

I'd call the service provider to make sure I didn't miss any settings required I forgot to use...
or maybe.. it's the ISP's problem itself.

Ive seen this before when using exchange mail. Make sure you check in settings/connections that "programs that automatically connect to internet" are you gprs settings (vodafone) whilst programs that "automatically connect to a private network" are set as my work network.

I can connect through WiFi, but not through GPRS
I have a similar problem. I've set up a POP3 account in my Outlook, and I need to be able to connect through GPRS and retrieve mail when I am away from my office.
When I choose "The Internet" in Outlook > E-mail Setup > Advanced Server Settings > Network Connections and I enable WiFi, it connects and retrieves mails.
If I switch to "Mobile Internet", it connects to GPRS when I hit "Send/Receive", but I get the following error: "Cannot connect to the incoming mail server. Be certain that the server name is correct, then try again to send and receive mail"
Is there any way to make this work through GPRS?

Email uses Data connection and not Wifi

Hi,
Ive setup my Hotmail account using Outlook but it uses a data connection to send/recieve emails, I want it to use the Wifi only as I dont have a data plan.
I cant seem to find a setting anywhere to make it use wifi only. When I click send/recieve my phone automatically makes a data connection :-(

You need to enter Comm Mgr. first, and press Data Connection (not OFF/ON )to enter Set up. press Advanced, then press Select Networks.
Well ,what I going to say is the point. If you don't hava a data plan now, you can choose the two selction with 'My work Network' . Now try again, see if you can use WIFI to send/receive the Email.
When you hava a data plan ,you can switch the first one(Programs automatically connect to the Internet) with 'My ISP'. And when you turn off WIFI, raphael will use the ISP network to send/receive Email automatically.

It won't access to the Internet explorer either...the only thuing I can use is sending text messages...the rest of the functions won't work. I am confused now as to how am I gonna use my treo phone to its maximum features.. I hope somenoe can help me on this...
Thank you.

It seems your phone is trying to access Internet using connection settings for previous US operator. Did you make all the settings for your local network (Start > Settings > Connections > etc.)?

a guide how to do it
1. Start, Settings, Connections, and then tap the Connections Icon
2. Under "My Work Network" tap Add a New Modem Connection
3. Name it Picture Messaging and under Select a modem select (GPRS,3G)
4. Under Access Point Name type: ____________ (ask your cell company)
5. Username, Password, and Domain is left blank and then click Finish
6. Now, go into Proxy Settings and check "This network connects to the Internet" and check "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet"
7. Under the Proxy Server box type: _________ (ask your cell company)
8. Tap the advanced button and tap on the HTTP line. Make sure the HTTP settings shows __________ (ask your cell company)
9. Click the OK button a few times to get out of the settings completely.
10.Now go to Start, Messaging, Menu, then Options, Advance, then Click Manual, and then the Edit button
11. Message center number _________ (ask your cell company)
12. Email center number is _____ (ask your cell company)
13. MMS gateway address is ___________ (ask your cell company)
14. MMS URL is http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/servlets/mms (ask your cell company)
15. Finally under Network Profile select: My Work Network and then click ok.

Thank you very much for sending me this procedure to correct the setting of my mobile phone. I will coordinate with my Local network here in the Phils. to supply the needed settings.
Best regards,
Abrille

Dear All,
I have followed the instructions that you have given to me but still I couldn't access and/or browse the internet as well as receiving MMS format files. I tried to access and view some threads and I happened to see an email thread that gives an instruction on how to Re-flash/Unbrand a Palm Treo 750... I would like to ask your expertise Sirs if this is the next possible way or solution to solve the problem with my Treo 750? I hope someone can help me on this...thank you and more power to all.
Abrille

To access internet via Internet Explorer, you need the correct GPRS/WAP settings to tell it to use the right APN.
Try the settings listed here:

Issues with ICS

Hi guys I'm new here, not an expert on android but would like to share some problems I faced with 4.0.3 on my Nexus S.
1) it cannot find 2g networks, I have to keep data enabled on for it to find any network. but once the network is detected it stays working even if I turn off data enabled.
however,when I was in the elevator with data enabled off, it didn't locate any network when I got out until I had to manually redo the process.
2) I'm getting mixed problems with contacts names showing when they call me, and on the call log, some appear with name some only a number even though it is saved in my contacts, I'm gonna try to delete all my contacts and then reimport them into my account and see how it goes.

1)you can find it by open settings and select "more -> mobile networks"
2) try and report, or open "people app -> menu -> contacts to display" and select groups you want to display
hope this helped
