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"

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)

Windows Phone 7 Proxy Setup

I was wondering how do I setup a proxy on my wifi network for my windows phone 7 =, i have a pricate proxy server which I would like to use as i unlimted bandwith on it. Could you please help me. I have the ip address and port to access it however I have no idea how to use it.
Thanks

I'm sure if you did a quick search you could find the answer yourself, but...
Settings > Wifi > On > tap the Wifi network you want to connect to
1. Proxy toggle On
2. Enter the address in the server/url box
3. Enter the port in the Port box.

Can I use a static IP address?

I wanted my Sensation to connect to my wifi network with a static IP address instead of DHCP and did not find a setting for that. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance

Hmm, Interesting question. I don't know what ROM you're on, I had a quick look in mine (CM7) and couldn't see a setting. I did have a look on the market, searched for "static" and a couple of "static IP" suggestions popped up. You could try them.

of course you can. menu -> setting -> wireless & network -> wifi settings, then press menu, click "advanced", and checked the Use static IP.

LOL, forgotten about that. Doh.
Not used it in ages, last time was to confirm WIFI sleep policy on my Desire.

Thanks. That works for InsertCoin ROM.

[Q] After re-installation of factory android internet doesn't work

Hello everyone,
So a few weeks ago my phone just wouldn't start. It would get to the point where you see the samsung logo on the screen and it would turn back off. I took it to the store I bought it from and they fixed it by formatting the phone back to the factory default operating system.
Since then, the phone has worked fine but my internet just doesn't work.
Any ideas? I'd rather fix it myself than have to deal with those people again.
Thanks

Ensure correct wifi config & try static IP address
I assume by internet you mean wifi connectivity. Have you setup your connectivity properly? you can also try setting up a static IP adress (go t wireless in settings, pres and hold the wifi name and from the popup menu select "modify network config" and select the check box for "show advanced config" there you can select static). You can search on net about setting static IP address on android as well.

I don't mean wi-fi. I'm referring to my carriers internet service that's within my contact.
