hi guys,
i just bought an XDA II mini, and i heard there are a lot of problems with wireless lan, so im confused, can i use the sandsick wifi card with that phone and access the internet ? does it work well or do i have to trick somethign ? and what kind of card does work ? thank you for the help.
should be possible of cause you need something to connect to
so you need a wifi router or have access to a wifi hotspot somewhere
My MDA Compact works perfectly well with the SanDisk Wifi with 256Mb memory. I didn't experience any problems, except setting it up! :lol: But now I know what to do, its perfect.
ah ok, so wifi and wireless lan are the same but ? meaning as long as theres a wireless lan internet hotspot around, i can use it right ?
yep you got it in one.
well if the hotspot let you
if it's a private wifi network then unly if they dident make it secure
and if it public hotspot they may want to charge you for using it
yeah i know that, how bout security keys ? can the card handle 64/128 bit encryption when i know the key ?
looking at sandisks site would give the answer to that question i think
i got the card, and it was installed fine, also fins my wireless network, but i cant sue internet explorer, it always says i have no connection, and under modem settings i cannot choose wireless, only dial in or bluetooth/gprs settings
if you mean surf and not sue
then try choosing the connection
under advanced when you want to suft using wifi
you have to sellect that connection insted of the GPRS which is the std connection picked there
i tried that, but then in the modem settings there is no wifi option to choose, only gprs, bluetooth and a few others

hi, i have the problem, that my mda pro is connected via wlan (DHCP, correct ip and i can use some ip tools to make tracerout etc, so this is working fine.
only internet explorer and icq and agile messenger want to make connection by gprs.
why?
what i am doing wrong?
any idea?
thank you, Wolf
I also have the same issue. Havent had time to work it out yet!
My router settings have all been checked:
MAC address filtering
WEP 128 encryption
DHCP
I can join my home wireless network but like you said no surfin once connected.
Very frustrating. :evil:
i think i found the problem:
if i switch on the mobile phone radio, it works.
it seems to me that only than he can choose between gprs or wlan if radio is on...
please check it...
wolf.
Sorry but what do you mean by switiching the radio on?
Do you mean the wifi?
Surely you need the wifi on in the first instance to be able to join the network?
he means the phone (i.e not in flight mode :wink: )
I have a similar problem but that is for file exploring on a networked pc it keeps trying to dial gprs :x
I tried again lastnight and it maybe becuase I have WEP 128 enabled on my router. I dont really want to go any lower than 128 encryption because the security on that is already pretty pants.
I'll give it another go on just standard WEP just to ease my conscience!
Hello,
Im having major issues getting my O2 Xda Minis working on wifi.. Anyone got it working on this.. im havin awful problems configuring it to browse via wifi.. When i go to the comms manager it picks my netgear up but refuses to connect to it.. ive tried with WEP and WPA-PSK encryption but its just not having it.. any ideas?? does it even work with the netgear DG834!!
cheers
faddy
I have mine working with a Netgear 624. The problem may be that you need to upgrade your wireless router ROM for support. EDGE is good enough for me, so I dont use the WiFi too much. it is nice to have. Also if your wireless is a G make sure you have the registry hack for it.
shouldn't have to do anything at all. I turned my mini s on and it immediately picked up my wireless netgear modem router DG834G and I was surfing straight away. Don't advise you to upgrade rom thats a load of crap! sure to end in disaster imo just take a look at the number of probs people have on here when they do that.
Have you set it up for LAN connection?
You should have a shortcut to your conections manager on the bottom taskbar. Check you have the wireless connection activated
select Start, settings, connection, Lan and tell us what your settings are ?
Mine has
SSID netgear
Mode Infrastructure
BSSD 00-09-5b-CE-35-**
TX Rate auto
channel 11
signal good
Hi I have similar issues with WIFI and my netgear.
All is as above but on CH 6 and different BSSID
It seems to connect OK then with strong signal etc but then i try and go to a web page and its slow or doesn't find it.
Then another time its as fast as hell with no problems.
Checked all settings on Netgear and on MDA Vario and all seem to be ok.
Any ideas please
At the moment just connected. surfing via WIFI very fast for 7 pages now come to a dead stop but still have strong connection.
:x
I meant to upgrade the ROM on the Netgear router, not the MDA. At least check your router help section for possible conflicts and issues.
hi all...
i just purchased a mda vario 2 and i seem to be having problems connecting to internet explorer and msn messenger via wifi. i have set up the wifi connection and it all shows that i am connected. but it just doesnt find any pages or connects to my messenger. any ideas guys? i know most of the topics on here are to do with some form of connection problem or what not.... so i will appreciate any advice.
settings->connections->Connections->advanced->sellect network
odd ms havent addres'd this a long time agoe judging for how many people who ask this question
but then guess it's the same thing for pc users who wanna change between their internet access between wifi, nic and modem
I don't think that this is the issue because my wm5 os seamlessly switched from wifi to gprs.. I see the same issue where I can access the new through the gprs setting but not through the wifi when connected to an access point. I know that the wifi accesspoint works cause I can access it on my laptop. I think it has to do with a registry setting..
Hi,
I just purchased the htc 8125 from cingular at full retail WITHOUT a plan
for use on my trips to Hong Kong using my sim card from a Hong Kong
provider.
While in the USA I would like to use the 8125 to access the internet without
a sim card installed and without cingular service. Wifi does recognize available
networks but I cant open any web pages.
Can you please tell me how to configure the phone to do this. I believe it is
by default programmed to use cingular's access services but I want to configure it to work as a stand alone device similar to a laptop looking for wifi signals to connect to the web.
Please help! Thank you.
David
WiFi is not configured to be used with anything of cingular...WiFi is a standalone feature in the PDA...the reason that you couldn't see a web page could possibly mean that the network you connected to had a WEP encryption...u must connect to an open network in order for it to work...
try this
I have been having problems with my wifi too...the only way that I can get it to work is to say the wifi connects to 'work' and to say that programs connecting to the internet should connect using 'My Work Network'
Turn on your WiFi
Start->Settings->'Connections' tab->WiFi or Network Cards->tap the network you want to use->under 'connects to:' chose: 'Work'->next->next->finish->ok
Start->Settings->'Connections' tab-> Connections->'Advanced' tab->programs connecting to the internet should connect using: 'My Work Network'->ok
hope this will work for you and if anyone knows how I can get around having to change this every time I want to go from GPRS to WiFi I would be much appreciated.
Haha - I just found it...someone else just posted it

I just got a HTC Magician, and i don't know how to connect to wireless networks or how to search for them, can someone post a step by step guide please? or if the same question was previously asked please tell me where i searched for more then an hour.
Thanks
If you mean WIFI, you can`t. Magician does not have WIFI capabilities.
Some SD-Wifi adapters are supposed to work, but I don`t know the details.
i have been told that i can connect to wireless internet with it
Maybe Wireless internet via the gsm network (as in mobile internet)... no WiFi here.

there are also other options as in internet through bluetooth (and activesync) but Wifi is a big no go unless you have a Wifi SDIO card.
i understand thanks for the informations
the magician doesn't have a WIFI(GPS) installed. So you can do what you want, but it will never connect to WIFI.

WIFI=/=GPS

Only 2G wireless connections and USB or BT tethering internet..
