[Q] wi-fi problem - HTC ChaCha

When I connect phone with my pass free network, it shows full strenght signal and everything is OK. But, when I try to use browser, it cant load pages, and the error shows up, that there is no connection!
With gprs it go immediately on web...
Please, any hint, help?

Make sure it's have free access for public user. Where do you get that access?
Cross check to another wifi access, I think it's not your phone but the security setting in the wifi router.

Thanks alot, problem was in my router!
Problem solved.

Very strange on and off WMWifi Router problem

I've just recently bought an HTC Touch Pro on Verizon plan. I read about WMWifi Router so I decided to try it to be able to share my phone's internet connection to other devices. I also realized that Verizon had removed the Internet Sharing app, so I knew I had to get that also. I got it all to work, but it doesn't work after I shut it down and restart it. These are the details, and I apologize but it's rather long and confusing...
I got WMWifi Router first and installed it not realizing I needed Internet Sharing first. After it didn't work, I downloaded Internet Sharing, installed it, and it still didn't work with WMWifi Router. I could connect to the phone via Wifi, but I couldn't browse the net on the laptop I tried to use (Windows XP). I uninstalled both Internet Sharing and WMWifi, and then reinstalled Internet Sharing first, then WMWifi. It worked this time, and I noticed the little icon next to the "Cellular Connection" on the WMWifi screen was green this time instead of yellow or red as it had been before.
Everything worked great with good speeds. I then shut the program down. Next time I tried to use it, I had the same initial problem, wifi connection but no internet on the computer. The icon at Cellular Connection on WMWifi was also yellow again. I uninstalled WMWifi, and then tried to uninstall Internet Sharing. It told me it couldn't remove it all. I then reinstalled Internet Sharing, and I had to restart the phone. Upon restart I installed WMWifi. Everything worked this time, green icon at the cellular connection, great speeds. To test it, I shut down WMWifi and restarted it, and no internet, yellow icon at cellular connection.
During this whole process I could always get to the internet on my browser, so I always had signal, and data was turned on.
I did the whole uninstall reinstall process and it worked, with a green cellular icon on WMWifi. I turned it off again to test, again it didn't work, only this time when I tried to uninstall Internet Sharing, it didn't tell me it couldn't remove it. Then when I installed it, it didn't make me restart. Now no matter what I do, I can't seem to get it to give me a green connection on Cellular, and I get no connection to the internet.
I know it's not a problem with the computers I'm using as I've tried a couple, and I can verify it's not. It's a problem somehow with WMWifi binding to Internet sharing or something similar. Maybe I have a faulty copy of Internet Sharing? Anyone have any ideas?
to be honest, if it was me, i'd try one of 2 things.. or maybe both.
1. backup my data (you can do that using PIMBackup2.8) and hard reset since something might've screwed up the whole thing
2. pm Chainfire (the creator of WMWifiRouter) and ask him if he has any experience with this issue.
It may be related to a bug that is fixed in the upcoming 1.30 - or it might not. I'm afraid I can't really tell from here right now (I'm in Barcelona).
As your experience seems to vary a lot and you have done a bunch of things, you may need to hard-reset as well (not sure - yet - though).
You should write support @ wmwifirouter . com about this issue, so it can be handled.

How do i setup the WiFi to go on automatically the same way 3G/GPRS does

What i'd like to do it to setup the WiFi as my primary connection, something the connections manager wouldn't allow me to do. I want it to try & bring up the WiFi connection instead of attempting to bring up the 3G when a program attempts to access the internet. Also, i'd like it to bring it back down after some inactivity timeout.
I've searched the forum, and googled the internet in general, and found multitudes of threads, but none gets any close to the solution. Isn't there some way to setup a fake modem or something, configure a fake connection on it in the connections manager, and turn the WiFi on inside the fake modem program on connection attempt ? Or some other way to cheat the system so it threats WiFi connection same way it threats other connections in connection establishin aspect ?
Well, any ideas ?
try using g-profile from ageye as you can set applciations to use a wifi then when they close to go back -> turning off the wifi connection.
I know this doesnt fully solve the problem but it may solve part of it at least until a full solution is found

ICS data slow to connect

I am running the Zero rom and it is working great. I am having one issue but not sure if it is ICS related ot not. I am currently in Afghanistan and have edge data service. When I first started using it on GB all I had to do was create a new Access Point and only had to enter "internet" into the APN, no authentication, no proxy etc. So I instaleld ICS then when to their website (etisalat) for the APN setting. They show using a proxy but still no authentication. When I use those settings it shows that I am connected to edge but I get no data down and eventually get an error about not connetcing to the proxy. Anyway, I couldn't get it to work so I used the original APN setting but had to enable "Pap or Chap" authentication. Now it works.
But, the problem I am having is that it takes forwver to get data to connect. I mean when I leave my wifi connection, or go from a place with no cell signal to a place with signal, it takes a long time (5-30 min) for the phone to establish a data connection. I try to open my broswer or other internet programs but they just fail to connect saying no network avaiable. I try turning data on and off etc but it doesn't force it to connect. Eventually I will see the edge data connection icon showing in the top bar and it works again.
Anyone have any idea why it is slow to connect to the data? I never had this problem in GB.
Thanks
Try flashing the radio from this thread, its UCLA3, the best radio in many peoples opinion for speed and connectivity. It is gb based, but that shouldn't be an issue. I was using it with ics for a long time

Thanks, I will give it a try.
Well that didn't seem to help. Any other ideas?
Thanks

[Q] Internet Not Working

Hey everyone,
So, I was using my nexus 5 in my university over wifi and it was working all fine and then all of a sudden the internet stopped and I couldn't browse or use any app that requires an internet connection. I switched off my wifi and turned over to my 3g connection and the problem was still there that is it would connect and everything but it wouldn't allow me to browse or use any such application, I tried restarting the phone, clear the cache through recovery, gave it a soft reboot but the problem still persists even with the wifi that I have at my home. I have tried opera and chrome and both of them are not working, neither is whatsapp, facebook or anything that requires an internet connection. Chrome says "erro code: DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET" while opera said "DNS lookup failed" and the same error comes over both wifi and data network.
Would really appreciate if someone could help me with it cause I need the internet to work on my phone as I can't carry a laptop everywhere. :/

try turning off your router for 3 minutes then turn it back on. about your 3G.. have you called your provider?
I take it you have turned off the phone and back on?

WiFi/mobile data problems

The issue I'm having is that my WiFi and mobile network both show that they are connected, but I don't actually have working internet. Even weirder is that when I first flashed the rom (OctOS MM), I could connect to and use WiFi and data. Chrome, Play Music, Facebook, etc. all won't connect even though it shows I'm connected to WiFi and/or mobile network. I know I read something about the same type of issue but of course I can't find it now. Looking for some help, I don't know what to try to do to fix it.

Yep, also looked in WiFi settings but didn't find anything out of the ordinary there either.
Any reason data and WiFi would've worked initially then decided to quit?
