Hi guys,
I've recently become the proud owner of a vodafone touch pro. However when connecting to wifi, opera etc will not find any webpages. Now i know my wifi is working and the phone connects fine and picks up the DHCP ip address.
What could I be doing wrong? I've noticed data connections is disabled but I believe this is just for GPRS etc? Either way how can I confirm my wifi connection is being used?
Many thanks
EDIT - NM it was because it was not set to work
Hi Scribe,
I had the same problem as yours. No solution so far. Had no problem with GPRS.
I have mine working good on either wifi or GPRS.
Probably it's wifi problem? Have you tried on another wifi connection?
what was not set to work?
I have the same issue, connects to wifi but no internet. laptop connects and browses fine, but touch pro (and also diamond) don't
Make sure when you set your wifi connection up you say that it is used to connect to work not the internet, also make sure your adapter settings say this.
The problem is that the phone will always default to GPRS/3G for the internet but if it senses a local work network it will use that first.
Stupid I know!
I have the same prob, I changed some settings and it works. Try change Authentication to Shared instead of WAP-PSK, Data Encryption to WEP instead of TKIP. After you have internet connection, you can change to previous wifi settings with same network key.
Mine has gone again! I swear it's because 'Connects to the internet' wont save in the proxy settings - nope not that and still wont work, I've also tried by disabling all security
I have my gmail account linked for pull notifications...
the problem is it will not connect to gmail via wifi rather it olny updates through the 3g data network.
I have checked the advanced settings where the connection type is set to internet but this doesnt change things...
Any suggestions?
make sure you have the wifi connected on and connected to the internet.
also, through the connection tab in settings make sure you have told it that internet connects to wifi,
although, it may be better for you to temporarily disable the data connection whilst you use the wifi if the above doesnt work.
Im for sure connected to my wifi network...
I make the other adjustments...
thanks for the reply!
hi
sometimes wm can be picky like that
why not update over the 3g network?
This comes up becasue I work in the basement of a building with little to no access to cell signal so I can enable wifi and connect but it will not sync wia wifi...
I'm having WiFi issue's.. all of a sudden my HTC Arrive won't connect to my WiFi network. I had this issue happen before actually.. But it corrected itself. Now it won't work.... Just "Connection unsuccesful"
Is this happening with all networks or just one. If it is just one then you should check the router as this is not a phone issue. I receive this when I try to connect to networks with very low signal strenght.
Cheers.
did anyone tried and tested while connected to a wifi then you activated wifi hot-spot? it always says "Turn off wifi to use wifi hot-spot" any one have ideas on these on how to work both while connected to a wifi then activated wifi hot-spot because hot-spot only works with mobile data network.
Its not possible
A mobile can either recieve wifi or wifi hotspot
This may help u:thumbup:
Hit thanks if i helped
Sent from my GT-S7500
Wifi hot spot means to broadcasting capability, i.e in case of a router it has hotspot which broadcast the network. router only connects devices to it's network or gateway. router dont use this wifi to get connected to another network. because it is impossible to do broadcasting and also to receive another broadcast from another device using only one gateway.
So if you are connected to a network using wifi then how you will be able to broadcast or create a wifi hotspot??
May be I made you understood..
When my mobile phone is connected to WiFi is it still accessing 4G, 3G or 2G?
I'm asking as ive been having an issue where my phone signal is really bad when I'm connected to Wifi at home or work and my network (Vodafone) has advised me to switch to 2G when this happens. But if I'm connected to WiFi will this have any bearing? As from my understanding the phone is actually downloading data from the WiFi not a cellular network?
Thanks.
