[Q] My andro-phone does not connect to internet via my WiFi network - General Questions and Answers

As the title says, my X10i does not connect to internet even though it displays "connected" in settings, can't access web pages and can't connect to Play Store...
My WiFi is working fine on my computers but not the phone whilst my phone seems to do fine with other wireless networks!!!
Is there anything I should change in my router settings???
Any help will be appreciated.... thanks in advance.
EDIT: It's working now... there's obviously a conflict between my phone and the other computers... once they're out my phone can connect normally!!!

Internet sharing

Does anyone know if I can connect my laptop to internet via my phone, T-zone internet, by using Internet sharing? I failed to do this. Can someone give me an instruction? thanks
hey buddy, you need to have data connection on, when you connect your phone via usb and internet sharing enable. Make sure you have tmo's proxy configured in your T-Mobile Data Connection.
Work with phone but Laptop
Yes my phone is able to connect to internet by itself, Tzone with proxy setup, but I would like to go to internet by using my laptop and use the phone as modem by running internet sharing program but It failed to connect.
what you are asking about is turning your laptop into a hotspot and connecting to the internet using the wifi not regular nework. is that it
I am talking about using phone as modem, internet sharing...

you need to connect the phone to your computer via bluetooth and your computer will see the phone as a modem then setup the a new connection with the phone and voila.
I am using usb cable to connect it. I am running NBD 8.2.
not sure how to make it work on the cable but with 8.2 you should be able to connect the phone to the PC and turn on dialup networking via serial port over bluetooth

I never tried this before. I will try it tonight.
You have to set up the same proxy server in your web browser on your laptop as the one you have set up for the t-mobile internet on your phone.
Not sure really if its different for T-Mobile or not but i'm with Cingular and I use my wizard as my primary internet source for my desktop. Connect your phone via USB, let AS connect, then turn on internet sharing. It'll disconnect AS and display on internet sharing if its connected or not. Hopefully this helps.

Work great. thanks
No problem, glad I could help. I figured that out a few weeks ago the day after I got back from a business trip where I stayed in hotel that didn't have an internet connection and no wifi spots anywhere close. Wish I had thought to try that sooner.

Can't open internet while plugged in to pc

Even though I've told ActiveSync to "Allow wireless connection on device when connected to the destktop", it doesn't work, my smartphone SP5m connected via USB on my pc keeps telling me "Check your connection/network settings" whenever I need internet access and won't open any web pages or internet applications, why?
Under Connections settings, I usually have 2 options, either "Auto-detect settings" or "Select network" which has "The Internet" selected. But none of them works
And what's the difference between those network presets (The Internet, Work, etc)?
Thanks to all!
highmighty
go to setting\connections\usb to pc and deset advanced network funcionality
No matter if "advanced network functionnality" is enabled or not, it's the same, internet won't work when my SP5m is plugged in via usb. It's surely working fine though using WIFI... any other thoughts anyone?
Thanks
Just tested, same problem here and the weird part, it works if connected with a Bluetooth connection
i have that problem too.. connected to the laptop there is no internet connection with cabel but over bluetooth..
funny thing: if i connect to the desktop computer it does work with cabel
same security software (avira antivirus and pc tools firewall)
if anyone find a solution for that i'd be very glad. the problem itself doesnt matter as connection over bluetooth is more important to me but i just cant stand how illogical it is..

USB modem?

Hello, i heard about a program that works as usb modem to connect a laptop an use EVDO on the phone as it would just navigate the net on the phone, but it's the laptop, just to do not really use the modem fuction witch is really expensive. I know it exist for Blackberries, but i am searching for my Touch Pro. Thanx in advance!
Hope it's this
It's called "WMWifiRouter", extracto from their page:
"WMWifiRouter instantly turns your wifi enabled smartphone* into a wireless internet hotspot. Now you can use your laptop and any other device with wifi to get online and surf, email, instant message, and anything else you normally use the internet for! "
google it, i really recomend it. you can use your 3g net, or the edge or gprs or any data conection your service provider gives you... or even the wifi conection if you laptop or pc doesn't have a modem.... just run the software and connect it to the pc, i'll be detected as a modem with internet conection...
hope this helped
Thanx!
I used to tried WMWIFIrouter beta a couple of years ago. I will give it a try. Is this app connects a laptop and use data as if WM was browsing the web, or as a modem?

A510 NO internet connection

A510 connected to router, can easily access files stored on lan, but I can't open any webpage ("Webpage not available", same with gmail or facebook). If I conect my HTC Desire over wi-fi to the same network, internet surfing works without any problem. I also tried connect to other network, turn off - on tablet but nothing new.
I am sure that yesterday it worked ok, but after that was only using lan connection.
Last night I have rooted tablet (using simple method), installed SuperUser, then TitaniumBackup, Asphalt, GTA3 and Kineticalc (from mobilism) and at the end tried to use cifmanager (without any success). I do not know if anything there make something wrong.
What to do?

Now I made reset under settings and at first boot it asks to sign in to google but I can not do that since network connection is still not working
Ive tried a few apps that didnt connect properly after bieng on another network for some time, particularly apps that needed authentication like Dropsync, and I sorted it by having my tablet connect to the internet through my mobile data connection. I dont know if your HTC Desire has that, but on my Sensation I just started mobile data and wifi hotspot, connected my Tab to it and was able to get online with any app on the tab. When switching back the Tab to my home wifi, everything worked as it should.
Might be a dns reset issue, that the Tab is forced to do on connecting to another network, it has to, but I cant say for sure that this trick will help you..
