After upgrading to WM5 wifi access points r deceted but does not connect, no error messages just, says connection ten after a while it says avaible and does not connect
.........................
o come on guys 116 views but no replies?
What ROM are you using? Has this problem just started since upgrading to a new / diffrent ROM or has it suddenly appeared on a ROM you have been using for a while?
If it's suddenly happened on a ROM you have been using for a while try a hard reset if you can.
I have a Wi-Fi problem in Helmi BA WM2k5 AKU3.2 Beta (v.1.3.3 Beta), but the 1.3.2 Beta works fine so just went back to that version.
Well my ROM infomation is Below in Sig.
WiFi worked fine when i used the softwear which came witht eh phone but after upgrading to WM5 WiFi does not work
I upgraded to (see Below)
Try using this new ROM, it's a diffrent version to the one your using and I've had no problems with it. Make sure after you do the flash you do a hard reset - you'll have problems if not.

ty i will try
I have none of these problems with WiFi, I can connect without any problems. Now, actually using the link causes me the odd issue (it tries dialing GPRS anyway), but that's an entirely different thing altogether.
xiokai, revert back to WM2003 and check WIFI.
sorry to interput the post here, but can someone tell me how to connect to wifi? there is a wifi zone near me that i should be able to connect to but for some reason my phone wont do it, any one got any tips?

If you have a recent WM5 ROM, there is sometimes an icon of a padlock in the network list next to the hotspot. This indicates that the connection is secure and you need the password.
There are other ways to secure a hotspot such as using a publicly accessing log-on network that bounces you onto a private one or only allows access once you've authenticated. These are less common though, mostly hotels/airports etc. If you see the network without a padlock and you still can't get a proper IP address and ping google (try vxUtil and vxIpConfig) it may be one of these more complicated ones.
You could ask the person who runs the hotspot! Be aware that using a hotspot without permission may be illegal where you live.
Hey guys, Internet Explorer doesn`t work correctly after the Rom has been loaded for some reason, so just try another browser. I had that WIFI issuse for some time not but since i got Opera mobile it isn`t a problem.
xiokai, have you checked your Wifi encryption settings? I just had the same symptoms on a Blue Angel (WM2003SE), a Wizard(WM5) and a friend's phone, and it turned out none of them could handle WPA2.
I'd enabled it on my network as it was supposed to be more secure, and found that when it was disabled (I reverted to WPA-PSK) my Wizard connected first time, perfectly. Haven't tried the Blue Angel yet, but that works fine at my folks' house.
Another thread about BA not connecting to WPA-PSK:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-257076.html
Thanks for the info and link uberdeity.
Does anyone know if there is anyone working on WPA2-PSK support for the BA, and/or if it is at all possible?
I purchased my TYTN II a week ago today, but did not get around to moving my sim over from my Trinity until last friday. when i did everything went well, it synced fine and i got all my data over from my Trin. It wasn't until i came to use the wifi that i noticed a problem! I turned on wifi in comm manager and it quickly found my router (British Telecom HomeHub). I launched IE and the HTC default page came up, so i changed it to google. Then i tried to go to one of the pages from my favorites, but all i get is a message saying "THIS PAGE CAN NOT BE FOUND" or it just times out! so i tried typing in the page and got the same result. So i checked the settings/connections/wifi and compared them to the settings on my Trin. Everthing was fine, though the Trin did have a stronger signal than the T II. So then i checked wireless Lan and all of the settings seemed o.k.
So today i called HTC u.k. to explain the problem, and to be honest the guy i spoke to was quite helpfull. they are going to investagate the problem and get back to me, i HOPE!
Has anyone else had this problem? if so could you please let me know asap so i can let HTC know i'm not the only one.
and one other thing, has anyone else had that stupid charger with there phone?
look forward to any replies
So, is the problem that one phone has a better WiFi signal than the other?
i wish
No it's not. it seems that the T II has a problem with the actual wireless radio, as it won't even download my emails through wifi
Either your WiFi radio isn't working, or you have a configuration issue. Config wise it could be any number of issues: proxy, router, security, etc. I mean, it could be a defective phone. but not knowing how proficient you are with networking, and it being a new phone to you, it could be config issue.
maybe
i did check all the conection settings next to my Trin, and all seems fine. there is another post here titled WIFI DOA i think maybe that guy may have a simular issue
Just FYI, my WiFi grabs email and access the NET, it does it all just fine.
I also switch between 2-5 routers per day and it latches onto every router with no intervention rom me.
reset
I've even done a H/R and numerous S/R and still no joy
If you are sure it is setup correctly, send it back for a replacement. I have no troubles with an almost OUT OF THE BOX setup.
I also have a problem with the wifi, sometime its work and other no response.
I can get the IP but I am not able to browse using IE.
when I am still using Eten M700 I naver have this problem, and i use it very often.
I never need to change the wifi setting.
The error message sounds like a proxy configuration issue. It might be that your router is running in a mode that needs you to set up a proxy, or it might be that you have a proxy configured on the PDA which is incorrect.
You can probably get more help here if you paste the exact configuration information from the PDA, and some configuration information from whatever computer you have and that connects correctly to the Internet through the router. Of course do not include the passwords ;-)
I had exactly the same problem with my new last week TyTN II.
I read this fix from another forum and my wifi now connects perfectly, displays any web page and downloads my emails.
Within settings go to connections, then wireless LAN, within W Lan go to power mode and change the settings from best battery to best performance.
All should now be well.
Friends,
I've been proud of my TYTN II for the last thre months that I've owned it... until recently though.
Last week, my WiFi connection stopped getting activated/swichted on. Howsoever, I may try, it would not get activated, leave alone discover the network.
I tried re-flashing it, soft-resetting, hard-resetting, I mean practically everything I could, but to no avail.
Has anyone faced this problem before, and found a solution to the same. Would appreciate if you could share the same with me. I really do not want to take it for servicing, as I fear it would take me easily a week to get it back if I take it to the Workshop.
Thanks in advance,
Atul
Let me ask a couple of questions.
Can you turn wifi on or do you get an error?
If wifi turns on does it see any access points?
have you flashed your rom on your phone?
have you tried another access point for wifi?
do you have any wifi applications installed like wififofum?
Hi Chumley,
thanks for the prompt response...
I do not get any error, not even any message hen I try to activate the WiFi. Just that the rainbow circle keeps rotating (hour-glass equivalent of indows), and then shows the WiFi is still inactive (small x near the WiFi icon).
I tried re-flashig with the latest ROM available on the HTC website, but to no avail.
Trying another access point does not help either, neither would it, I guess, since its not a problem of signal strength, as much as it seems to be of the Wireless on the Kaiser not getting activated.
No 3rd party applications installed either, after the last re-flashing, still no luck.
Anything from the above, that rings a bell?
If it does it after a flash I would think you have a defective wireless adapater. Sorry.
Guess it should not be a problem as mine is still under warranty... just abt. 3 months old. But my only worry is, as I mentioned in the original post, the time it would tk. to get it fixed by the Service Centre, or if at all it is a correctible problem... I think time to ask for a favour from a friend... a standby mobile while I await mine back
If you let it go free and it comes back, then it's yours forever.
Hello, same problem here:
two days ago my wifi connection stopped suddenly and cannot activate it from the comm manager. When I click in the WIFI Icon, rainbow circle keeps rotating and PDA perfomance goes down.
any ideas :?
Hueznar,
I've already given mine for repair at Service Centre two days back, and am still awaiting it back.
Shall let you know how it goes once I get it back
WiFi would not activate: Motherboard concked off
My PDA motherboard conked off... and it wud take 3 weeks to get it back with a new motherboard !!
Oh My God !!

@ Iatul
Are you sure this is the only reason & solution, for I have an IDENTICAL matter of the problem, but I never thought something was wrong with the HardWare..., damn I love HTC
I know I saw this thread too late (and finally) but if you please could respond with any news?
thanx
I'm not sure what is wrong with my Wifi...need help
I don't know why...really.
The comm manager stays on good, but when I try an access point it starts with the Connecting... then after a few seconds it stops and goes Unavailable.
My router works good with my bros and sis MAC books.
So I have no idea why.
Can anyone help?

ssid? is this in the router menu?
So.. I tried what you said and didn't worked.
I think it has to be something set in the edit options...
Could you help me?
yeah ssid is the id for the wireless network
i'm not sure why it worked for me... should'nt have made a difference.
have you tried different wireless channels on the router?
increase the power output?
sorry man i don't really know enough about it but happy to try.. pm me if i can answer your question i will
looks like this guy had a similar problem... have you tried what he did?

Wifi access point problem
I had a problem where suddenly after months of use with my home wifi router, it suddenly would not connect with the router anymore. Would show that it was trying to connect, and then would suddenly not connect and try another router on the list.
I tried reseting and everything. Tried re-entering the password for my router as I thought that was the problem. finally the only fix i found to work was to actually delete the access point from the phone... then reset and then let it find it all over again from scratch. And miraculously that time it worked.
I know this is not exactly your problem, but hope it helps.

By changing it to channel 1 in my router, it kinda worked..
It says Available now. Nothing else... The connect option it still there button left.
That's my update.
just in case letting you know that I disabled all MEdia net and ISP GPRS so I won't get charged because I'm not paying for my onlince services or any mobile plan with internet.
My brother told me that all WIFI connects directly to internet and it won't matter if I don't have a plan for mobile.
Correct me here, if im wrong.
Thanks.

Thank you... already tried that... I think my problem is different.
Hi -- I've got an unlocked Kaiser 100 which works fine in other countries (SFR network in France, O2 in Ireland, etc...) and _has_ worked fine on AT&T in America until recently. Suddenly, the data connection has started randomly but chronically started going dead on me. The problem has nothing to do with connection strength: I'm in Manhattan, which generally has excellent coverage, and the connection can be at four bars on HSDPA, and I still won't be able to download _any_ data. Sometimes the four bars HSDPA icon will suddenly change to the no-connection icon for a moment and then return to four bars HSDPA again. And this happens completely unpredictably: the connection is sometimes fine for hours and hours, while at other times I won't be able to download any data for minutes at a time.
I've tried many different connection settings, some with proxy and some without, and haven't been able to fix the issue. AT&T support has been, of course, completely useless, and just stay that these problems happen with unlocked, non-AT&T branded phones.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm using the stock ROM that came with the phone (and which worked great with AT&T until recently) and I've tried doing two soft-resets, neither of which have fixed the issue.
Thanks!
Alan
p.s. Does anyone understand why a "search this forum" search for ATT or AT&T turns up _nothing_? There are many posts that mention AT&T, obviously, but I can't find any of them doing a search. I wonder if someone has posted on this issue before, but I have no way to find out.
You didn't disable anything with an adv config tool by chance?
You are sure you covered "disable proxy"?
Settings:
Name: MediaNet
Proxy settings: None and "This network connects to the internet" marked
Access point: wap.cingular
Username/password/domain: LEAVE BLANK (don't ask why just leave BLANK)
Adv settings: User server assigned IP address
IP header compression
Servers: All empty
I had a similar issue a few weeks ago and AFTER removing username and pw all worked out well.
Thanks for the response -- yes, those are exactly what my settings have been too. They seem to be working fine right now, but I'm sure I'll have connection issues again later today or tomorrow.
Thanks!
Alan
Thank you for that. Telling me to delete my UN & password in media net settings. For some reason, that has saved me from wanting to destroy my mother ****ing phone.
With the UN and Password in there, my phone (when in use as modem for laptop) would ONLY allow me to run google searches, and visit the paypal website. Note, I couldn't actually click on any google result, as it would then resort to error 404
Thank you again, for lending me the tip that makes my phone work like it ****ing should have out of the goddamn box
I'm having data trouble as well. Everything worked fine as of last night. However, this morning I found that I could only connect to the Internet with Internet Explorer. Other browsers, Opera Mini, Opera 8.65, all hang. SiriusWM5, SelectRadio, Resco Radio, youtubeplay and other Web-enabled programs can no longer connect. However, QuickGPS still works as does RSS Hub.
I've tried to tinker with the connection settings, including using the advice in this thread Nothing works. I ran connection setup to just restore the original settings. Nothing. I can only connect with IE...I'm posting this message with it. Any ideas on what the problem might be that would allow some apps to work and not others?
UPDATE: Opera 9 and Netfront 3.3 actually do work. Live Search works also.
Is Pocket Outlook working? I just called AT&T because mine stopped working today.
It looks like this is a widespread problem. Mine is doing the same thing. At least we know it is the service and not the phone.
Hust saw this post on another website..
"Just got off the phone with an AT&T Rep. The hurricane knocked something out and the data access is supposedly down in half the U.S. ETA was this afternoon per the rep"
good to know. but why would some programs work and others not? don't they all use the same port/server/whatever to access the Web?
this is still weird. but let's hope it's fixed ASAP.
seems they've fixed the problem.

Cannot explain how a network works in three words but services to support whatever network (DNS, routers, proxy's, NAT servers) are spread all over the US so if a major hub or datacenter has a problem, things go south, at least partially.

Yeah, looks like things are working now.
I've run into a similar issue except that my phone works OK in the US but not in Germany.
I have an AT&T Tilt with the latest official AT&T Windows 6.1 ROM. It works great here in the US. However, when I am in Germany, the data connection seems to drop and the only way I found to get it back is to do a soft reset. It then comes back for a while, but drops again after some time (maybe tens of minutes - there's an X next to the data connection symbol). After the soft reset I am able to connect to download say the weather in the built-in HTC Home. However, after several minutes the connection drops again and checking the weather results in the phone trying to establish a data connection followed by a message that the answering modem has dropped the call.
Anyone know what the problem might be? The issue seems aggravated while connected to Vodafone, less so when connected to O2. After returning to the US everything works as expected again. I haven't done any tweaks to change the data connections of the phone. KaiserTweak sees everything related to GPRS and data set to default. Some people have suggested getting a new radio ROM, but I'm not sure which one would work well in the US, Europe, Japan and Korea.

I have a CAB in the office for intl. data setup. Helped me in Europe all the time, will post tomorrow.

I will try selecting the carrier when I am in Europe next week. However, I'd prefer something that just works in case a particular carrier is not available. I am hoping the radio will work OK in Korea and Japan too.
tyguy: Do you know what the cab changes? Does it change the radio ROM code or does it modify some other settings? I'm curious as to what is causing the problem. Also, is this a one time operation or do you have to keep changing settings when you go between continents?

Would you have it available now? I'm interested in trying it out. Do you have any details on what it actually does?
@emuyshondt
You're not forgotten. I do not know what it does but it worked for me in Europe.
I deleted it from my email since a buddy of mine sent it while I was in Europe and didn't store it.
Let me poke around - I'll come back to you.
Here it is.

Thanks! I'll try it out this coming weekend.
Lemme know.
A few days ago I ran into a problem. My wifi wasn't connected when I turned on my tab 8.9. When I try to connect to my own network, and get into the settings page, the option 'ok' is greyed out. This means that I can only 'cancel', and in that way not connect to my own network anymore. The same thing happens when I try to connect to another network. My device is not rooted, running 3.2, and it is running the most recent firmware. Restarting the device didn't solve it. Any thoughts on this one?
Bump, same problem, or at least similar.
Android Version 3.2
Kernal Version 2.6.36.3 ([email protected] #1)
Build Number HTJ85B
Wireless works on some networks and not others. B G N do not matter, it is random. Still running stock ROM, not rooted. I have tried reseting OS, no luck.
What it does it it finds the network, tries to connect to the network, fails, remembers the network, and the cycle starts over.
Hi guys,
do you get the 'Obtaining IP address' message when connecting? mine does that constantly on some networks, it gets stuck in a loop and simply will not connect. I've found out that this is due to the tab remembering an IP address it used to use and trying to re-use it every time it connects. That is of course not always possible and so it tries - fails - tries etc.
The way to fix this apparently is to delete the dhcp_list file which holds the remembered IP addresses, only issue is that I cannot find that file anywhere. I'm running AOSP Galaxian Soup on mine with motley kernel, my home wifi works ok (probably because the same IP address is available all the time), work wifi doesn't want to work at all.
Maybe one of the devs sees this and can shed a bit more light on whether the solution is correct or not.
Regards,
dsc.
I was eventually able to solve this in a very easy way. for one reason or another the tab only wanted to log in when the password contained a capital, so I changed the WPA preshared key to something that contained a capital and a number and it was working again. very strange, because it had been working perfectly for about two months before this problem occurred. hope this helps.
Hi,
I managed to fix it by selecting static IP. I've seen this suggested a couple of times but when using the tablet in horizontal position I could see the static/dynami selection. Turns out you have to rotate the table to vertical position to see it.
Regards,
dsc.
Thanks for the discussion. my main problem is that i can't set a static at my work network. it will work at home, but i NEED it to work at both, otherwise it does me no good. I will keep banging my head against.
I will check back to see if smarter people come up with a solution, and if i come up with somthing i will post.

This is my problem exactly.
Hi,
not sure if you've seen this (I think the original solution comes from here anyway):
[tried posting an url but it was blocked, try googling:
'Tab cannot get IP address for WiFi problem + recs'
and scroll down to zakaria's post]
Some people suggest trying static, even if it fails it might delete the previously stored IP address that the Tab is trying to connect with and get a new one which should work. What I did was connected to the Wifi with my laptop, checked the IP/DNS details and after slight mods used it on the Tab. I did try setting the static to something roughly correct, connecting and reverting back to dynamic, but it wouldn't have it

dsc.

Have you checked with your work network whether or not it needs ca certificate?
or you could try to download wifi ace (advanced config editor) from the playstore, and set the settings from there
