I've tried every 3.6 rom out there on my evo3d, with full wipes, and on none of them can I find where to find/login to wireless networks. I can connect to them fine during the phone setup process, but I can't find the settings to connect to new ones later. I feel like I must be missing something stupid.
What headings do you have in the Settings menu? There should be a "Wireless & Networks" heading, with an item called "WiFi" (next to it will be the "ON" "OFF" switch).
Assuming you have all of that, press the switch to turn on WiFi if it's turned off. Then press on the word "WiFi" (not the switch). This should bring up your list of available networks.

Probably a silly question, but here goes. Is there any way of stopping wifi from finding new networks? I only really want to connect to my wifi network at home (which it does automatically) but it keeps giving me popups with new networks to connect to. I tried selecting 'don't show this message again' but it makes no difference, the same networks keep on popping up.
Am I missing something?
Start > Settings > Personal > Sounds and notifications (i think, got the norwegian rom so not sure) > Notifications > Choose "New wireless network discovered" (or something like that) from the list, and uncheck "show message on screen".
should do the trick.
it's there but it's unchecked on my pda and it still does it
I have the Fuze version on at&t network. I've disabled 3G on AT&T's side so there is no way to connect through there.
Nevertheless, my phone ALWAYS tries to connect to the 3G network and i've disabled 3G connections using Nodata.cab, advancedconfig, diamondtweaks.
Still, the warning signs always come up:
"there is a problem connecting to the gprs service in your registered home network warning"
and this occurs, when I turn on the phone and many other times.
Is there a way to disable this warning? I know I cant connect, its because i disabled it!!!!
anyone? it comes up like 50x a day andi have to click OK to make it go away every single time
Have you unchecked the auto update setting for the weather program? Doing this worked for me.
did that, but didnt fix the problem. anything else that can be auto updating or trying to contact the 3G network?
Go to start -- settings -- connections -- connections --advanced -- select network.
Here I think you can change the defaults so that when ever a program tries to use internet it will either use wifi (if available) or nothing....
I have blocked the wireless internet access on all my lines and this is how I solved the problem of getting gprs disconnect warnings.
Hope this helps.
Is it possible to just disable this warning?
I'm switching between my personal and business SIM cards quite often, and I have the data connection disabled on the business card, while on personal I have a data plan, so I want to be always-online.
I disabled aGPS and now i dont get the warning as much. (remember, i disabled GPRS from att side).
when i start my phone, i get 1 warning (i used to get 3?)
maybe i'm on the right track...
But the point is not to disable features so they don't auto-connect to the Internet.
The point is for the OS to try to onnect automatically, but when it failes - it doesn't have to scream that to your face every 5 minutes.
I'm bumping this thread cause I did the same thing and want to know how to disable the message as well.
still no answer to this
Translating from Dutch, so bear with me:
Go to Personal > phone > network settings and put the band on GSM.
Note that you won't be able to use the 3G + H data connections then.
my father has the same problem on his Diamond, need help!
bump, i have the same problem as well
any solutions?
i have a solution.
download > install > and run NOGPRS.cab aka No Data. that will shut it up. i just had the same problem and i did that and now i havnt gotten any... i think i might get like one if i turn the phone on and off and what not, but other then that its fine.
Solution to GPRS warning message
Go to settings > Connections > Connections > advanced > select networks >
now check both options to 'my work network'
click ok
and reboot
the irritating message will go away.
until you again reinstall the sim into your phone and it will automatically reconfigure the settings.
Just repeat the above process.
solution
1. Tap Start.
2. Tap Settings.
3. Tap Phone.
4. Tap the Network Tab.
5. Tap the Network Selection Drop down.
6. Tap Manual.
7. Tap the desired network.
8. Tap Ok.
In the Axim X51v's WLAN utility, under the "Settings" button, you can see the "List of Available Networks" whenever the Wifi is on, you can see all the networks whose settings have been saved, as well as the currently available ones. My question is this: Is it possible to set the "Search" or "Scan" function, so that the device will ONLY attempt to connect to those networks that are actually available, instead of going down the entire list, and attempting to connect to networks that are currently unavailable?
Still curious...
when connecting some wifi, I need to set specific proxy to make it work. how to change that with HTC ONE S? didn't find it. and I even download two apps named "proxy settings", seemd both of them points out that is supposed embedded in 3.x android.
but I can't find it.
In the Wi-Fi list, press and hold your specific wireless network until the option 'Modify network' pops-up.
Scroll down until you reach the 'Show advanced options' at the bottom, and activate the checkmark. The funny thing about this option is, that with the checkmark on, the options list suddenly becomes larger, showing also the Proxy settings, IP and DNS. Took me three attempts before I finally noticed the change, when I was searching for the DNS options on HTC Sense.
Hi,
If you were like me, you were frustrated when you switched to CM12 and didn't receive any notifications/text/calls while on WiFi. This was a huge deal breaker for me. I do more on messages/emails/notifications than phone calls, so I was extremely upset not to receive texts in real time!
1) You shut off wifi and all of a sudden you'd receive a flood of messages.
2) You tried flashing all the modems and nightlies to get updated firmware and modems
3) You gave up and just went back to Kitkat.
Now there is a FIX!
And it has nothing to do with flashing any zips or changing firmware/modems!
It's all about the "Preferred network type"
1) You can find this in "Mobile network settings" change from 2G/3G/LTE to 2G/3G when on wifi and change it back when you are off wifi. Now doing this manually can be a pain in the ***, this is why we have the second option of automatically doing it with:
2) "Profiles"
Create 2 profiles (e.g. Home & Default)
Be connected to your wifi.
Setup Home (my own home wifi) "Triggers which will activate this profile" and click on "Wi-Fi" and then click on your network name and have it "on connect", hit back.
Scroll down to "Wireless & networks" and change "Preferred network type" to 2G/3G.
Done with First profile
Setup Default (when off of wifi's) "triggers which will activate this profile" and click on "Wi-Fi" and click on the network name you're currently connected to, and have it "on disconnect, hit back.
Scroll down to "Wireless & networks" and change "Preferred network type" to 2G/3G/LTE.
Summary: This will switch your profile when connected to wifi to use 2G/3G only, as you have your wifi to use the internet. This will allow calls/texts/notifications to go through 2G/3G. When you're off of wifi, it'll switch to the Default profile which uses LTE.
What I do:
1) My Default profile has multiple disconnections, my home wifi, work wifi, bluetooth to the car when disconnected will switch my profile to Default.
2) I have a Work Profile, Home Profile, Car Profile which on wifi/bluetooth connect, will change into their profiles. Work and Home are connected to wifi, so I changed the "Preferred network type" to 2G/3G. Car and Default profiles will change "Preferred network type to" 2G/3G/LTE.
Hope this helps you guys with the no text/calls/notification issues while on wifi!
Probably not intended by CM, a little fix around for now until they solve this one with some coding.
If it works, please thank! =)

Another solution that is more permanent is to flash the modem from CM 11s and the Proximity sensor fix. I also had this issue and have not had it since.
Enjoy!
