SDA wifi and internet problem

Hi all,
I've been searching countless forums for a solution to my problem, and I was not able to find a solution.
I purchased a T-Mobile SDA(USA, aka: HTC Tornado) with the belief that I will be able to connect to my hiome WIFI.
I tried connecting with original rom(T-mo SW 1.9.19.16) and I was able to connect to my access point, and I aquired an IP address, and everything, but internet explorer and Opera Mini browser was not able to connect to the internet. IExplorer keeps on "locating" then times out.
I am able to connect to a HotSpot location through wifi and also my G (GPRS) indicator is always on.
My guess is that TCP/IP use is somehow blocked for anything but T-mobiles HotSpots, and otherwise it tries GPRS(I do not have data plan.)
What I mean is that they restrict me to connect to GPRS or Edge in general, unless there is a HotSpot operated by T-Mobile.
Anyways if someone has an idea, please help me out, since I've spent countless of hours(not quite countless, but more than 48 hours for sure) on this, with no luck.
Please, anything, idea, reg hack, I accept anything.
Thank you.
PS: Now I'm running an iMate sp5m rom (i-mate_SP5m_WWE_1.6.331.6.exe) and nothing changed....

I'm sure this has come up before (try searching) but make sure your internet explorer isn't set to use WAP Network only.

Thanks for your reply...really appreciate it.
I was on a trip in NYC and I had a variety of WIFI spots, and to my very surprise I was able to get online through WIFI.
It seems that I still needed the iMate Rom, but my problem is my home wifi network.
It's weird since I enter my key and I get an IP, yet the connection is still not the correct one.
My next step is to look for a list of access points which have issues with SDAs, and if mine passes I'll start changing settings on my access point and go from there.
Thanks again, and if someone has a link to the list, I would appreciate it if it will post it.
And also if someone knows how to get rid of the GPRS indicator....
Thanks

If you're on WiFi, you should not be getting the G indicator; in fact, change it to E as it should be if on an Edge network (Cingular); look for a RegEdit to do that.
Re: your home connection not working. Are you sure you are on YOUR WiFi network, not a neighbors somewhere? If you have not changed your WiFi name to something that makes sense to you, I suggest you do that to be sure you are trying to connect to YOUR network. I have neighbors that have not changed their LinkSys names to something else, and there is no way for me to tell if I'm on theirs or mine unless my name is something unique to me and that I know.

[Q]

Hello gyus, my problem when i tried to connect to wifi hotspots i couldn't get connected... i Dont know for sure if they had access to the internet but i could not even establish a connection.the same problem with the bluetooth it couldn't find any bluetoooth device on search) but i probably can't connect to open ones.... Any suggestions?
I have htc touch hd t8282 with wm6.5
thanks very much

Your thread lacks a title and your question is difficult to understand.
You complain about not being able to connect to hotspots but dont give any information about those hotspots.
Most likely they are password protected or have device restrictions through MAC addresses.
Some could have internet but require certain network settings.
You can't find any bluetooth devices? Maybe none are around or the ones that are around are not set to visible.
What do you mean by "can't connect to open ones" ?

im hungry
*EDIT*
best advice would be to search the forum of the ROM you flashed. If no one else is experiencing the problems you are then its probably just a bad flash and I would suggest a re-download and re-flash. Is this a problem since you flashed or just one that started to occur? I tend to agree with all points posted above. Good luck!

[Q] HTC HD7 Internet Sharing "Timed Out"

Hey XDA.
First off i gotta say that the NOOB video at the registering is hilarious
Almost made me feel bad about having to make this post.
Still i am fustrated with this, couldnt find any info and need help.
I am a beginner with WM, WP and Android, but i do understand some technical stuff.
Problem is, we bought HTC HD7 to my girl just to find out that it does not have any internet sharing at all. Now we have been redeemed with the new update which includes internet sharing.
So we started it up last night without any luck.
I can see the Wi-Fi, connect to it, but:
Win XP says in Firefox - Timed Out
Win 7 says in Wi-Fi connections - No Internet Access.
The HD7 is totally unmodified. Also i know my carrier is not the problem since i used the tethering with my Diamond 2 with the same SIM some time ago.
SO! Any ideas why we can see the connection, connect to it, even see packages sent/recieved, but can not use internet?
Any solution would be appreciated. The less modifying my girls phone the better.

Do you use MAC address filtering on your router?

Router?
Maybe i kinda explained it wrong. What we are trying to do is use the HD7 AS a Wifi Hotspot with the new Internet Sharing feature which came with the HD7 update. I didnt find any MAC or other settings on the HD7 xcept WPA2 security and the option to change the name of my WiFi network.

Ah, sorry. I'm not really awake yet. Need more coffee. Sorry for confusing you. All I can say is that Internet sharing works fine on my HD7. So it's rather not a problem with the device itself I suppose.

hehe thanks for replying anyway I'll try to contact my service provider maybe its still something about the phones Data Connection settings.
Meanwhile waiting for any other ideas that could be related to

Okay people turns out i'm just stupid
As "EMT" being my carrier, what happened was my connection settings were set to "EMT wap" not "EMT Internet" where the last one being 3G and the wap being cellular. So there you have it - RTFM. My settings capped the internet speed which resulted in "Timed Out" in Mozilla.
Hope this helps someone else too. Altho i dont think theres any more people so ignorant hehe

Wont connect to wifi?

ok this may be a simple thing im overlooking. at my work whenever i connect to wifi it asks for identity then password. with the photon it never asks for identity or i cant find a option to type the identity in therefore i cannot connect to wifi at work. it really sux cause i get bad coverage at work and rely on wifi. i know on some HTC phones i had in the past it would make me set up a screen lock for some reason before connecting, not sure if the motorola has some trick too but i cant figure this out and sprint customer care isnt much help either. anyone have any ideas?

Unfortunately you didn't specify the type of wifi your work uses?
It's obviously something beyond WPA/2... So what is it?
I found this thread on PEAP. See post #5 for a potential solution... Perhaps this will help with PEAP and other types? I'm not very familiar with the more advanced, enterprise forms of wifi unfortunately.

the main one i always connect to just says 802.1? some do say wpa and wep .. sorry im not familiar with the terminology of wifi networks. i just know i always hit connect and type the identity and password and im on.

ill try that app mentioned in the link.. thanks!

that worked! first phone ive owned were i needed a app to connect to a wifi network..

Need Help getting Into My Wifi

Okay so here's the dilema my dad changes the wifi password after we argue and I'd love I if I could find a way to get the password without him knowing.
I'm on an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S5 And i am rooted
I usually use his laptop when he's not around and get the password but that's not an option for the time being. Thanks in advance.
The Wifi Type is WPA2 PSK
The router is a Netgear
The modem is a Motorola
P.S. I do t have access to a computer but I do have physical access to the router and modem and I'm new to the forum please let me know if I posted this in the wrong g place.

See into wifi manager that the Router has (Wps Available)
Then there is a Solution for it...
Just Go near the Router and press the Wps Butten and Connect from mobile...
And you done
I tried many times...
Sorry for bad english

eh he stated that using his laptop was not an option for the time being
I just assume that you have multiple computers at home that are connected to your network. I've come across some programs that I used to recover our network password when I was younger, all you need is a usb drive and those programs. I believe the site was called nirsoft or something .
!!Those programs may be identified as viruses as!!

If your router DOES have WPS, then this is a good quick and clean call and should be sure to remember to click "thanks" on Xpid3r's post.
If it DOES NOT have it, then give us a little more info:
1.)when he changes it, who and what does he update other than his laptop? - sometimes people are easier to bride, sweet talk, or otherwise crack than devices... Would mom, brother, roommate, friend etc. get the updated password? If not, what other devices get updated? anywhere the password is saved is a potential entry point. For example, if YOU were keeping the password from HIM... Then he could get it from your galaxy s5 NOTE:I can't post a link, because I'm new here. But if you google "recover wifi password from android" there is a walktrough from hubpages that I've used
2.)Could you borrow a friend's laptop to hack the password? - If so, there are plenty of tutorials around for that (though admittedly that is not a SHORT learning curve)
3.)How visible is the router? I rented a room once and shared Wifi was supposed to be included in the rent. The landlord was a real tool though and, among other issues, he wouldn't tell me the router password so I could do some port-forwarding etc. It got annoying very fast. But he had his router hidden away for aesthetics. So I connected my own router (from my last place) to one of his router's wired ports and then had my own wireless network through the house with its own SSID. I lived there 4 more months and he never noticed it. If your dad's router is tucked away you could probably do the same. Or if you cannot access his laptop BECAUSE he is out of town, then it wouldn't have to be hidden. You could do that type of setup in plain sight temporarily and just take it down before he comes home and get the password from his laptop then. (Tip: if you do this disable DHCP server or YOUR router so they don't fight over who gets to assign IP addresses)
Good luck to you. Let us know how it turns out

Reset the router.

you can find the password in options of wireless networks in the father's computer. Do it when the father goes to the toilet or eat , it only takes 1 minute
