Im not sure how to describe my problem but here goes. I used to use a wifi card on my Jam only and did not even set up my GPRS. Everything went fine. Today I decided to set my GPRS up and everthing went well. Then I decided to retry my wifi card to make sure it worked and it did, but I was concerned whether my phone was using GPRS or wifi to connect to the internet.
So I took out my wifi card and held down the red button to turn off GPRS. Now, nothing works. When I try either GPRS or wifi I get the message that "The answering modem has disconnected. To check your connection setting and change them if needed, tap settings". Anyone know what went wrong?
This happend to me 2, try today or later and it will work im sure of that. make sure your you have good contact when trying again.
Just do a soft reset and it will be working again. This happened to me yesterday. If you are having a hard time figuring out the soft reset, jut take the battery out, wiat 5 secs and put it back. That works as well.

Hi!
I have a problem with my p3600. It is wifi related.
There are some wifi's that, when i connect i can navegate for a little time, then it suddenly stops working (says connecting....) and then wifi won't work again until i reset the device (stop/start wlan doesn't work, it doesn't find the AP's again, no networks found).
When i soft reset, everything works again, but when i connect, and try to navigate, it stops again.
I have tried almost everything (move slider of power to the left...).
I am not sure but i think it only happens with some wifi's...
Any Help? Thanks!
Hi, I've got the same problem.. I was able to connect to the wifi at my school last month and works perfectly, but then suddenly this problem comes in.. anyone can help?
Hi,
Same here.
WiFi works fine at home but it only works a few seconds in my university.
Hi,
My device does this too on occasion, I've gotten around the habit of resetting the phone every two-or-so days.. Keepin it working.
Does anyone know how to set proxy settings for the wifi?
I can set them for other connections, but that..
Would be nice to have one set of settings for each SSID or something?
Try to disable power saving for wifi.
Okay, I have spent the past few days reading different forums trying to figure out what is wrong with my wifi connection. No one can seem to find the problem. If you are up to the challenge, I would LOVE for anyone else's help.
My problem is as follows,
I got my tmobile MSD just a few days ago. I (being dumb) started messing with the connections before I read how to set them up. Now, whenever I attempt to connect through my WIFI it begins to load, then says this page can not be found. What in the world is wrong with it? I do not have a medi/data plan, so I do not want to use anything that will charge me, hince why I am attempting to use wifi. If anyone can tell me how to get this darn thing to work, I will love it! Thanks so much! have a great day
You are not giving the details needed for people to help you.
If you answer the following you may get a solution:
1) What WiFi network / hotspot are you trying to connect to?
2) Are you sure that network connects to the internet? (Other computers / devices using it?)
3) Are you sure it is not secure?
4) How did you set up your WiFi connection? (Give exact setup parameters)
5) Does the WiFi icon show connected?
6) What URL are you trying to access?
7) Can you access any other site, like google.com?
At the moment there is no way of telling where the problem is.

I agree with levenum... but also you could try this....
go to settings...connections....wifi...menu...remove settings. do a soft reset then.
then whenur ppc is back on again, put the wifi scaner on, find a available accessible network. u must be able to browse again. it has worked 4 me.
worse case-- hard reset
I am trying to connect to my wireless at work (it is not secure) My work computer/laptop can connect.
I have not attempted to do ANYTHING to setup my wifi. I simply turned my wifi on and it picked up the wirless connection. Yes it says it is connected. I have attempted to go to many different URLs, each says the same error message.
If i were to attempt to do a soft/hard reset how do I do that.
If you could not already tell, I am new at this enitre thing.
wiki
please then you must find out by reading the wiki what category does ur ppc fall under. alternatively read th ppc manual or look up on the internet the ppc specifications to find the rest button. usually its a tiny hole where u can insert the tip of the stylus into. that should resEt ur ppc
when i reset it, it will not mess with my SIM card will it
sim card

you really are new to this aren't you, don't worry reset does not mess wth the sim card, please don't panic, I had the same prblem as u indeed, and read the WIKI
haha I am! How could you tell lol. THanks for the help!
Before you reset know this:
1) Hard reset will erase all your data and installed programs and restore the phone to factory settings i.e. OS and built in apps only!
Make sure you back it up!
(See manual for button combination, or try Settings->system->Clear storage icon if you have it to preform hard reset)
2) Soft reset (just press with stylus in reset hole) will simply reboot the device.
Neither will help if you didn't manage to connect to WiFi even before messing with your settings.
Also, see if you need to manually enter a gateway or proxy address to connect to to your work network. (This depends on the network settings)
One last thing: when your network is detected and you are asked if it connects to 'The internet' or 'Work' be sure to select 'The internet'.
Thats all I can think of at the moment...
I have an 6955 with Rogers and every time I try and connect through Edge or Gprs, it says "cannot connect for an unknown reason. etc."
It does wifi fine, gps, etc. I can send txt messages, call people. Everything is great, but GPRS never works. I even see the big "E" saying there's an Edge network.
All my settings are correct. I even went to Rogers and they went through my settings and they're stumped. I even hard reset the phone to see if this would fix it.
Just annoyed cause I got a data plan and I can't even use it.
Anyone see anything like this? Thanks.
try the phone data manager tool thats on the phone to automatically detect your settings, the quickstart cd also has an update tool to upload the settings applet if they have changed, I can't remember where this applet is on the phone since mine is currently out for repairs, but its a blue icon within settings
I tried that, I'm stumped. I even brought it into Rogers and got them to mess with the settings and they couldn't get it working.
The "E" for edge is on, but it can't connect.
Everything else works great, gps, calling, txt, etc.
Stumped
Why is my WiFi connection option grayed out? Now I can not activate my WiFi. What caused this and how do I fix this? Thanks for any help you guys can give me on this problem.
bahardman.
you you have the hd2 pluged in to your pc ?
this will stop wifi from working.
Duh!!! that was the problem, thanks Grantzxr.
Ok I have gotten my WiFi connection solved, but now I can not connect to the internet through my WiFi.

I have been having exactly the same problem! Even when the HD2 is not connected to my laptop the Wi-Fi stops being greyed out but does not switch on. The only way is going to Settings - Menu - All Settings - Connections - Wi-Fi and then tick the Turn on Wi-Fi. Wait around a minute until it connects... sometimes
I have the original T-Mobile 1.43 Rom (got my mobile only last week) and on the first two days it worked fine when connecting to my home Wi-Fi. But suddenly it just started doing its own thing. Most of the time I have the Wi-Fi icon showing but if I try and go online I just get an error message asking me to "check my data connection and try again".
The only modification I made was installing some of the wonderfull .cabs tested and tried on the HD2 by tboy2000 and by smaberg. Amazingly, the only one that did not work properly was the Touch X reset and wifi.cab; the Reset was OK but the Wi-Fi Toggle didn't respond. I am going to try and reinstall.
aiwama, let me know if you got it solved, and I will do the same for you.

Well, reinstalled the .cab, but I think that was not the problem. When I press the Wi-Fi Toggle and wait for around 50 to 60 seconds it actually connects - for a while - and then freezes.
If I press the Wi-Fi Toggle again it disconnects from the Internet. I actually went back every single time to check Settings (Wi-Fi box would respond accordingly) and All Settings - Connections - Wi-Fi and (un)ticked Turn on Wi-Fi box. So, the Wi-Fi Toggle works fine. But there's the freezing thing that I don't know where it comes from!
aiwama, I simply shut my phone done completely and then turned it back on after a few seconds, tried it and it worked just fine and its been working ever since. Hope it works for you also.
Hi guys.
I just tried flashing Duttys Leo Multi-Lang V1.1 ROM.
Actually I decided to sync my contacts before flashing but the GPRS connection wouldn't work then. I didn't think too much into it since I had just used it a couple of hours before without problem, and though it was some soft reset issue or something.
However, I tried flashing to the rom and the procedure went without any trouble. But I can't get my GPRS connection to work anymore. I tried flashing back to stock 1.48 which didn't work either, and after that I flashed back to the original stock 1.43 roms.
No matter what I do I can't get internet and my GPRS to work anymore.
I tried putting my simcard in my old SE P1i and I could connect to the GPRS and surf the net without any issues.
This leaves me to think no other than that something has happened to my beloved HD2.
I now have 1.43 ROM and I uninstalled the HSPL, so I don't think there should be any issues sending it in for repair, but I wanted to check with you guys before. I rather not send it in
Any ideas?
I've had exactly the same problem and just reported it to HTC. My battery almost ran flat yesterday but I didn't pay attention and just assumed that I'd left something running. I soft reset the phone and put it back on the charger for a few hours, took it off and then left it overnight. When I went to use the phone again today the battery was completely dead. I charged it up again and then left it to see how quickly the battery was discharging. I noticed that the phone thought I was in the Punjab but didn't realise that I didn't have an internet connection because the taskbar said I was connected via HSDPA. I ended up doing a hard reset as I assumed the battery problem must be software related.
After the hard reset I noticed that I didn't have an internet connection but assumed that it was an aberration and connected via WiFi to set the phone up again. To cut a long story short, I eventually realised that I could only connect to the internet via WiFi despite the fact that the taskbar still said I had an HSDPA connection. I tried a couple of hard resets and even reflashed the ROM to 1.48 but whatever I do I can't connect to the internet through my phone provider. I can make calls and I can connect via Wifi but I can't connect via HSDPA.
I don't know why this happened really, but after trying this and that it worked out for me.
What I did was, I turned off the 3G and tried to surf through G only.
That worked, then I tried to turn on 3G and surf and it also worked again.
I then tried to do a soft reset and tried to surf and again, it didn't work.
So I turned of 3G and tried to surf on G which worked, and when turning back to 3G I could again surf.
Ofc it would be lame to be forced to turn off 3G and surf 1 time before one can surf on the 3G every time one does a soft reset, but for some wierd reason it works now without the need of turning 3G off.
I hope this can help you a bit and hope you get ur mobile working well soon again!
Thanks umiss. Out of interest, how do you force the phone to only connect via GPRS?
My problem is getting weirder and weirder. It turns out that I can connect to the internet via HSDPA when I'm at work but not when I'm at home or around my home. This is despite the fact that my phone still says that I have a strong HSDPA connection at home.
I also tried popping my SIM card into my old N95 and I have no problems connecting to the internet with that The only thing that's giving me a bit of hope is that my partner's SIM card (she's on the same network as me) struggled to connect to the internet in my phone too so I'm hoping that it's related to a network problem in my area.
I only have G/3G connection so GPRS is the only choice for me to connect to the internet. (Or maybe I mixed 3G and GPRS being the same?)
Anyhow, I connect through my 3G connection.
It's weird why this problem happened, and how it by itself solved (maybe me switching to G instead of 3G helped but I don't really know).
However, regarding your problem.
You say that you don't have any problem connecting to internet (through HSDPA I presume) with your N95? But if you connect with your HD2 it doesn't work.
Furthermore, with your friends SIM it also doesn't work with your HD2.
This obviously sounds like theres an error with the phone rather than the network?
Specially since it worked with your N95. Could you maybe try your friends sim in your N95 to see if it works?
But then again, how weird isn't it that your phone works well at work :S
Did you try forcing your phone to go into GSM to check if internet works?
Please try this and keep me updated, I would really like to know if this somehow helps solving this "problem" :S
