Hey...
I have tried to connect to the internet by Wi-Fi, but i can't get connection to the internet. When I try to connect to my network it says "Connecting to network", but the connection then fails. Plz help!! I have tried everything i could think of!!!
(Sorry for my bad english)
if the crypt is correctly set and the password is set correctly
I would update the firmware on the router many manufacturers fix bugs and improve compatibility
Yes this happened to me once and it turned out I hadn't set up my network properly. (I think the problem was I had two devices both trying to act as routers!)
Could it be something else?? Cuz wireless works on all the stationary and laptops in the house... Maybe something wrong with the device?
of cause it could be
but
wifi devices such as phones and my ipod touch was the only devices which suffered in my case desktops and laptops would still work
updating the firmware helped a lot but still every now and then I have to unplug the wifi router for 10sec and reconnect for them to get access
Just tried to connect to another network... It worked fine!!
So the problem must be something with the router as you say
I think i'm gonna reset the router, and then se what happens...
Thx for the help Rudegar

hey all..just bought my diamond..have the same issue with wifi connection at home..it just wont work..its connected..says its connection..have all the ip settings etc but just wont connect to internet..
saw the thread before about this but see there was no outcome..thread just stopped do'h
so can anyone help me ? ive never had problem like this with all my other wm phones lol
i dont have any problem connect using WIFI @ home.. did u set the network correction? (if use wireless , each set got it own network point & password) did u set correctly
I'm experiencing some problem like this also.
With my Hermes, I was able to get a working WiFi connection @ home. With my Diamond I simply can not. My Diamond can see the WiFi network and than wants to log in to the network, but it gets rejected for what reason. I tried every possibility in my router (WPA1, WPA2, even unsecured, Turbo off etc --> not random, I know enough bout networking to know what I'm doing). It's really strange, by a friend of my I can connect to his WiFi network. Let's me conclude that it is my router.....
hmm not sure about router being problem

UPDATE:
after flashing Elite 1.0 the problem is solved. I can now login to my router by WiFi....Don't know what the problem was with the orginal rom 1.35.404.4 NLD
i have a linksys WRT54GX4. When I try to connect to it using the xperia, it tries to connect for a few seconds and then the status shows unavailalbe then a couple seconds later the status of the router goes back to available but i can never connect to it. The router is running a DHCP server and the wireless security is WEP 128bit and the authentication is open. I don't know why it doesn't want to connect. I really need to sort this out. Anyone else experience this problem? The phone connects to other routers in my neighborhood though, so it might be the router, but i have other devices connected to the router and they are just fine.
Haven't used that router before but maybe you could try updating the routers firmware to the lastest available.
These should be available from the manufacturers website.
already tried its the latest.th erouter isn't giving me any problems on my othe computers/ laptops. Is it possible that the x1 just isn't compatible with it?
Do you have any other security, i.e. MAC filtering, turned on?
no i never mess with the more advanced settings. BTW I even tried disabling all encryption basically unprotected, and it still gave the same problems! Thanks for the quick replies also.
Hmmmm......
Ok, I know its a pain but try changing your security from WEP to WPA.
Everyone with wireless should really use WPA or above, WEP is quite crackable with various free tools floating around the net.
yea but shouldn't it have connected with NO encryption whatsoever?
Hpoefully a hard reset will fix your problem?
I had the same problem but i thougt it was becuse ny router but i tried to connect to other networks aswell an got the same problem, well later on my phone stopped accepting files thrue the usb cable. and didt want to install some cab files that i had istalled before and knew was working.
I had enough and decided to hard reset it and it really fixed all my problems.
so hopyfully it will for you too..
Good luck.
yea i'm gonna try now, hopefull that will work, did u hard reset thorugh the iption in settings, or did you do it physiclaly through buttons>?
Havent had that problems ... what i do is allow only my devices mac address to connect ...
my psp as well as gf psp
2 desktop + laptop
htc touch cruise
xperia
and home media player
Everything else gets denied, cant really beat mac address filtering.
ok just tried a hard reset and still didn't work. The signal strength is full but the phone never even gives me that automatic message that there is a network available, but it does this for other routers in my neighborhood.

Actually, you can, but that's for another forum
OK PROBLEM SOLVED. Did a factory reset on my router, then the phone connected. But when I went to change the channel from auto to 10, the wifi stopped connecting. After that, any susequent changes to the channel; whether I tried a different channel or set it back to auto, did not work and the only way to get it back was factory reset the router. So basically I have resseted my router, and have not touched the channel settings and it is working fine. BTW the dedicated Xperia tech support line is AWESOME, even though they weren't the ones who figured out why i had the problem (and they wouldn't have because it was the routers problem) they knew what they were talking about and are actually from the US!
n4v1n, did WiFi work for you in other networks (with other routers)?
I have the same problem with my phone: only reset of my house router allows the phone to reconnect.
I am not so convinced that it's a problem of the router, because two of Samsung phones (Omnia HD on Symbian and Wave on Bada) connect always without any problem.
does your router have a physical easy connect button? try to use that before connecting even you already have the proper setup on both devices. sometimes somehow that happend to laptop, phone, wifi card. and with a single push solved most of the quirks.
if i remembered correctly, older wifi support only up to 7-1 devices. and my phone seems never connect to anything higher than channel 6.
Hi
I recently aquired a htc diamond. I've been having trouble connecting it to my router at home which is a netgear wpn-824.
I have tried a number of steps, tweaking the settings on the diamond e.g. changing the performance to best.
But it seems to jus keep on connecting and connecting then flips to unavailable then tries to connect again. The netgear is on unsecured at the moment so theres no password issue.
It seems like it tries to connect to the router but theres something stopping it at its' last hurdle
Does anyone have an idea or what to with my router. My router is dhcp enabled
I'd REALLY appreciate it if you could help as my brain is about to explode
THanks
sometimes routers get crazy if they are not turned off for a bit once in awhile
another option is to update the firmware of your router to the latests thats fixed
issues for many people
router
Hi Rudegar
Ive tried resetting the router and ive updated the firmware... no luck
Ive also tried installing wefi on my htc to connect to the router to see if that might work, but it does the same just keeps on trying it reaches 'verifying netgear' then it just restarts the connection.
Currently theres no restrictions on any mac addresses etc... so i dont see the reason why it isnt connecting
ANY help would be appreciated thanks
I have been facing the problem for the last week or so. I do-not get any internet connection through my phone's WiFi hotspot . The WiFi does connect to my windows 7 laptop , but then I don't get any internet connection ( windows says limited connectivity and I donot have this problem with USB tethering ). Does any body have any ideas on how to go about fixing this issue..?? Thanks
PS : I need WiFi hotspot ,as I often connect my lappy to it while charging and i do have other devices i need internet connection at times
I am currently on temasek's 129 kang and 725 BB/RIL
Anybody any hints or insights into.this one ???
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda app
The other devices work? Try reconnecting with different security (open instead of wpa for example). Maybe your Laptop is not configured properly (fixed IP address, wrong network type, firewall, etc).
It is just guesswork on my end. There are too many variables unknown to give you better advice.
Last resort would be a full wipe of your o2x. But that is only a good idea if you have proven that other devices connected to your phone via wlan do not work as well and that your laptop is configured correctly.
Have a nice day!
Got resolved. Apparently I had used adhoc mode on my laptop to make my laptop a hotspot ..Even though I had deleted the adhoc connection , I had not turned off Internet connection sharing , this was causing this .. Blimey .. Hope windows had warned me about this instead of telling "limited conection "
well Dang
I just flashed cm10 Nightly, and cant use Wifi-hotspot,, First i thought it was RIL, but i learnd you dont mess with the RIL in CM10.. and it aint any problem with the computer, it can connect to other hotspots..
The built-in Hotspot thing is hanging in "starting hotspot" and from there i have to reboot to get it going again..and this one isnt even showing up on wireless networks on the Laptop,.. so.
I Downloaded a 3rd party , https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=android.tether
It seems very nice, and it goes saying in the log that it started up Okey, and the laptop can now se the "ad-hoc" wireless it created.. but when connecting and using the password, it aint doing nothing, no IP, no nothing.. and the app have a acces-control, where nothing is showing..
Any hints for me ? =)
Hi i am having a strange problem with my phone connecting to my WiFi at home on my phone. I find it will not stay connected to my router. I put the WPA2 code in and my phone says connected then it forgets the network and asks me for the code again. My phone connects to WiFi at work so i thought it was my router but my computer and Xbox work fine still on-line. It just seem to be a problem between my phone and router. I have tried lots of things from hard resetting my phone to changing the security on my router and resetting it I am now at the point where i am at a loss and have no idea how to resolve my problem. I have updated the software on my phone but still no joy Does anyone out there have the same problem or able to advise
Thanks
Hi,
I can't find anything relevant for you, so I will have your thread moved to your device section. ?

I'm not sure but I read somewhere this is a bug in the htc software. You can fix it by having a wpa code shorter the 6 characters I believe. Or maybe try changing to other wifi security protocol

If your phone connects at work with no problems, than its not the phone. The problem will be between the connection to your router. If changing protocol dint work, you can try open network (No pass, just for testing) if connects then its the security.
You can also check in wi-fi advance settings "wi-fi frequency band" its set to auto.
