Hey guys, I am going to try the 200mb data plan mainly because I am usually around wifi all day. Is the wifi signal dependable? Will I need to type in a password every time? If so, will it still work seamlessly under a more secure wifi connection (University of Michigan's wifi network)? Thanks

Hello all,
I am new user of a brand new mozart windows phone 7, and i am almost very happy about it, Apart from one thing which i am trying to sort out however knowone at HTC seems to be able to assist me.
I have wifi turned on 24/7 however my phone still user data usage via GPRS for soem reason... if there any way of making the mozart use wifi and the primary connection.
Any help would be appreciated
I don't know, but maybe location services might still need to use your data connection. You can turn your data connection off though - settings > mobile network > data connection "off"

WiFi turns off in standby mode. Reconnects when you wake it up. So checking email will use data. Only way to avoid it is to turn off data in settings and not have push notifications

for HD7 you need to ON your 3G and Data Connection but you can choose whether you want to roam or don't roam.

You try to disable your 3g and data roaming when there's a wifi.
I didn't have any issue since this week but this week when I'm on wifi I can connect to all websites but when I'm on 3g I can't connect to some of them. And my applications which collect data from those websites also can't receive any data (eg. like some local forum or traffic apps). When I switch to wifi everything works. Any ideas? btw I'm on insertcoin 2.2.5 SSE. But I tried other roms and the result is the same.

Sounds like this could be carrier related. Did you have this problem when you were on stock ROM?
Also, try using the phone as wifi hotspot and see if you can connect to those sites on a laptop using the hotspot.
Hello,
I recently used Pdanet to connect my desktop to my wi-fi network and ran into the problem of using up all my data. I have t-mobile and I was connected to my wi-fi but it still counted the data and I was sent a text message saying that the rest of my data usage would be throttled. I was using albinomans CM10 rom and have heard of it reporting incorrect data usage if that is the problem. So my question is how can I use my phone to connect devices to my own wi-fi network but not use up my data? Thanks

Albinoman's data usage bug is isolated to the phone. Tmobile meters your data outside the phone.
In all likelihood, your desktop blew through whatever your 4G allotment was-- not surprising given that a few windows updates, an hour or so of music and a TV show or two will easily eat up 1GB.
Also consider that accessing webpages via your desktop uses a lot more data than accessing the mobile versions on your PC.
The only real solution is to upgrade to unlimited 4G, but some have reported nag web pages from TMobile for tethering on that plan. There are a few ways around it, well documented here.
I really don't understand why I'm being charged then if I'm using data that is from my network. There has to be a way to work around this.
Hi all
All of the sudden, my nexus 4 doesn't seem to scan for any wifi network. I have made sure I turned off the aeroplane mode, turn the WiFi on, and see that wifi is switched on, but it just doesn't scan, not even when I click scan, as no any scanning message popped up. So basically I can not connect to any new network, e.g hotel wifi or airport wifi. I have tried to forget some saved but unused wifi in my phone, as well as reboot.
The strange thing is, the wifi itself seems to work, because I can connect to wifi network that it has already remembered.
I use CarbonROM, and has been fine for a year
Can anyone please help?
Many thanks in advance

You have an option in settings to change that. You must have that option turned on.
