[Q] HTC G1 won't work over WIFI

Just got a G1 used off eBay and it connects to my WIFI access point just fine. But, I can't access anything over it. It just says that the web page is unavailable. The eBay seller says it is my access point but it works well with other phones as well as laptops. Also, the cellphone can't seem to find any cell networks although I have good signal here. It did find the network once and worked for about 30 minutes before crapping out again. By the way, the eBay seller is refusing to refund my money.

Try connecting to another wifi router with the G1 and see if it works, then report back and I'll help try solve the problem.

I tried a different access point. Mine is a Gigabyte so I tried a Linksys. I had to set it up so that the AP is providing DHCP. Strange thing is that my router which connects to the WAN side of the AP is also providing DHCP. However, after setting it up this way, WIFI works as it should. Now, on to my other problems. Thinking that the Cyanogen ROM could be the problem, I went back to the old RC29. Now, I have to get the phone registered and Cyanogen installed again. Thanks for the suggestion.

[Q] Wi-Fi Calling not working need help

Anyone in the U.S. on T-Mobile get the Wi-Fi Calling to work on the Sensation?
Long story short - I bought two new Sensations and neither one will work for Wi-Fi calling. Everything else on the phone works fine.
I have spent about 10 hours of troubleshooting between T-Mobile, my internet provider, and HTC. Absolutely nothing fixes this issue. Both T-Mobile and HTC have left open ticket items for this for me, but I am not hopeful.
Believe me, we have done every master reset, phone reboot, sim card check, etc, etc. you can think of.
Want to know if anyone in the U.S. has this working?
Thanks

I'm 95% certain your issues lie with your router. The router's firewall is blocking it. Try disabling your NAT firewall. If you can't try enabling "Pass Through" for your NAT.

Thanks for the suggestion. I thought something like that as well, but I have tried 4 different wi-fi hotspots including one at the T-Mobile store. None worked.

Are you in a 3G only coverage area?

Yeah, I'm a say router too bro. Mine connect every time. 3 different locations

Well, well - problem finally solved after spending countless hours on this and what a simple stupid fix.
Wait for it....
My 911 address in the T-Mobile account info was returning a null value so the Wi-Fi app did not know what IP address to connect to.
Here is how to fix this problem: Go to your T-Mobile personal profile or call them, change your 911 address (not your home or billing address) to somewhere close by like a business or your place of work, something that is on the map and has a well established address location. Once I changed the address online, about 3 minutes later the Wi-Fi app magically starts working on both Sensations.
What makes me so mad, is that this is one of the very first things the T-Mobile tier 3 tech support person checked when I called in the very first time. They said no problem. Well apparently not.

Admins, maybe you might want to sticky this....

[Q] mobile network disconnects and gets stuck "turning on"

Hello all, i have had my HTC sensation 4G (on Bell) for just over a month and a few days ago i started losing my connection to the network intermittently. Super annoying. Anyways i tried deleting some recent apps, figured that might be the issue but nope didnt help. It happened about 3 days in a row until i finally did a Factory Reset on the phone. It worked fine for a bit and then began stopping its connection to the network. Anyways super frustrating, i read some forums about tunring ciphering on and off, i tried that didnt work... needless to say im chapped.
Sorry for the length, but basically wondering if anyone knows how to fix this as its to late to return the phone and i have read through similiar forums on other phones

sorry to hear abt ur problem. i experienced the same thing but i think mine was triggered when i installed juice defender. it would turn off mobile data when the screen was off and when i went to use the phone, i didn't have a connection. i uninstalled the app and did a power cycle and that seemed to fix the problem after i went back into settings and checked the box to turn mobile data on.

This. The phone seems to have trouble (on the stock kernel at least) when switching data from wifi only to cell when cell is turned off. This happens to me when I use wifi calling. The solution I came up with was to connect to a wifi network then turn on mobile data in the quick settings manually. Works every time for me.
HTC really needs to fix this.

Under mobile network in wireless settings, enable always-on mobile data.
This somehow fix my connection whereby it hampers with JD app by not turning on when it needs to.

Thanks for the help guys. I did also recently install a "battery optimizer: in Droid Utilities or soemthing like that, although i did a factory reset. ill try and do a full battery cycle like you mentioned and see if that helps

so the phone worked fine on the weekend, and even friday and i thought it was cause i stopped using a non "htc" charger and got rid of Android Utilities. but now its Tuesday again and like clockwork at 1pm it just stops connecting, if i reset it i get network for a few minutes and then boom out again. Very frustrating mid work day to be without my phone for hours on end. Dont know what to do.

Are you using WiFi at the time it goes out?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

No i havent been, not allowed to use private phones on the corporate wireless, but so far i havent found a problem with it switching between wi-fi and H+ while at home.
I have a feeling that Bell Canada may be updating the network or something in the area but they havent said anything both times i called and i asked. so who knows. Its just to much like clockwork for me to think it would be the phone, but who knows.

So i believe i have this figured. I talked to tech support once again yesterday and i point blank asked if it was network problems he said no (3rd person from bell to tell me this) then reccomended i get a sim card change if that didnt work he said send the phone in for repair.
So i went to the downtown bell store talked to the girl, explained why i needed to replace a brand new sim, and she told me that it was because Bell doesnt have towers downtown they share the Telus towers, however because of network bottleneck bell users get less priority and thus i cant use my phone... Not only is this unnacceptable for a phone company to not provide service DOWNTOWN in a major city but having denied it multiple times forcing me to troubleshoot for hours and spend almost an hour talking to bell representatives...
NOT HAPPY. Bell - 5 in my books, lucky my contract is up in a few months and i can switch to telus where i will be able to get signal downtown...

[Q] Xoom Network Issue

I have a Wifi Only Xoom and for the most part, it works great. Especially with the new ICS update. However, when i come into work, i am unable to get more than 400 kb/s on download speeds. If i turn my data off and my wifi on using my Droid Bionic, i can meet or beat 15 mb/s down so i know its not the work network. This started happening before the OTA ICS update but even with the update, it still happens. Since the update, i have done a factory reset of my device but still cannot get anything for download speeds. Iv talked with our network team at work and they said that they dont throttle anything on the particular wifi network im connected to so that isnt it either..

almost 100 views and no responses, anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Sorry for the non-answer, but if you're going to complain about people viewing and not replying, then maybe should have used a better title for your topic other than "Xoom Network Issue."

what do you get at home or somewhere else?
you try forgetting the network?
turn off bluetooth and try once

You're on a shared network at work, there are multiple factors that would limit your speed.
Number of users on that access point / WLAN
Bandwidth limitations for WLAN users
Proximity to AP
Other WLANs broadcasting on the same frequency
And more...
My first suggestion would be to sniff the air with Wifi Analyzer by Farproc and see if you're connected to the best AP on the work network.

Still no luck..
After reading some replies, here are my troubleshooting notes in response to your ideas (sorry for the novel):
I have completely reset it to factory defaults so iv actually done more than forgetting the network. Bluetooth has been off since it was wiped.
We have so many APs around the building that i could throw a rock and hit one no matter where im standing in the building and signal has never been an issue. I did get Wifi Analyzer but none that it picked up were that bad in signal. On the same note, i walked around the building doing random tests in several locations, none yielded any better speeds. One more reason that i dont believe this is the issue is that when i do theses tests, download speeds stink, but upload does very well. So that tells me that signal strength is a non-issue and as stated earlier, there are no limitations on this WLAN.
I can test other devices side by side at the same time and they test great while my xoom falls on its face. so I am absolutely positive that the problem doesn't lie with the work network. every other tablet, smartphone, laptop user can get excellent speeds (in the same location as my xoom), except my Xoom.
At this point i am at a loss.. any additional help is greatly appreciated!

YES! I'm not crazy. I bet you have cisco access points.
I posted about this on another thread. It appears that ICS and that particular access point has a major bug. I have one at home. I posted on motorola here

[Q] Only able to load google pages while tethering.

I wasn't sure where to post this but here goes. This may sound strange, but I have have been using wifi tether router paid version for problably 2 or more years on an s3 with sprint at first and now on a metropcs lg L70 for the last few months, and it has always functioned perfectly. Out of nowhere this morning it started acting really strange and now I can only load Google sites and YouTube. If I try to click on a link leading outside of Google it times out this happens with my laptop, tablet, and tethered to my extra phone, however it hasn't affected browsing on the phone itself, only devices tethered to it. I have no idea how to fix this

I have this same problem with MetroPCS and the L70 on my Chromebook. I can tell when the problem occurs because the Wifi symbol doesn't show an ! mark saying that I need to login to the tethering portal. Haven't figured out how to fix it, I usually play with settings on Wifi Tether Router and reboot my phone/chromebook until it starts working again. Would love to figure out the root cause as well.
