Hi,
I don't really get it. I'm (apparently) connected to my home Wifi network but the Vario is acting as if it isn't online.
The problem is with checking email. Unless I have just used the Vario web browser (in the last couple of minutes) then "send/receive" (manual or automatic) just won't connect. Vario sits there saying "connecting" and then times out.
It's set to connect to The Internet automatically during a send and receive and is connected to a very stable Netgear Wifi modem/router.
It seems to need me to open pocket explorer to kick start the wifi connection (even though it says it is up and connected all the time) every time before I can then do a successful send/receive on email.
I've played with the IP assignments on the router, so the MDA always gets the same internal IP address but that hasn't helped. "Renewing the DHCP lease" from the Vario helps but i can't believe this lease expires after just 2 minutes.
Any bright ideas?
Cheers,
Chris
i got the same problem too when i first started using the wifi..
i managed to solve it by putting the performance of the WIFI to MAX transmission and after which it connects well everytime...
hope it helps mate..

I have a belkin router. It works well with several laptops.
I can connect to it with my JASJAR and get an IP address.
If I sync pop3 email it uses WIFI and works as expected.
If I sync journal bar it uses WIFI and works as expected.
However if I try to use internet explorer it alway tries to start a GPRS session and refuses to work through WIFI. :evil: Why??
Ive sent hours trying every setting I can find.
Anyone have any suggestions? :?:

At least your Wifi network doesn't crash as soon as u connect the JJ. Mine doesn't even get that far...
Anyone who can help???
Hmmm I wonder if this is something in the Telstra settings Cab.
Re those having problems all on Telstra?
Might try a hard re set and then manually build the settings.
Jon
Try de activating the phone. this allows you to use IE via your wireless router.
Tried that, thanks.
I just get the "Cannot Connect" message and if I dismiss it. Nothing!
However I can sync the weather without getting the "Cannot Connect" box. SO the WiFi is working, its just that Explorer can see it.
Im running the O2 UK firmware and it works fine (auto gives prefernce to the WiFi if I am in range, try loading on the genuine Imate firmware.
Jon
I know how you feel. I can't get wifi to work. Heck, I can't even use IE when synced to the computer via USB :evil:
Have you tried messing with the settings in start/settings/connections/connections?
I finally got it working.
You have to chose the "Telstra Internet" setting in Network Managment.
Its in Settings, Connections, Advanced, Select Networks, select "Telstra Internet".
I then did, Settings, Connections, Manage existing connections, Modem, and set it to "Auto"
It uses the WiFi first and then only uses GPRS if there is no WiFi.
Hope this helps someone else !

Can anyone help me with just getting my JJ connected to the wifi network without crashing the router?
Have you tried turning off any encryption etc and re booting the router.
Then try to connect at the most basic level?
Now I'm totally confused
I don't know what is going on!
I have finally managed to use IE via Activesync, using "Telstra Internet" as my My network connects to...
I tried again to hook up to the wifi network. The router is connected to my desktop via a physical cable, and my tablet pC is connected wirelessly (my JJ syncs with the tablet). I turned to tablet off, and then connected the JJ to the desktop wirelessly. On the desktop, I am no longer able to connect to the internet, but for some reason, the JJ is able to connect to the internet :shock:
But, even if I disconnect the JJ from the network, my desktop is unable to connect back to the internet until I reboot the router. What does this all mean????
I have the same issue with my MDA Pro! i done even have the sutp option in the modem settings. I can connect to my belkin router with encryption but no response when in IE!
Anyone else got any other suggestions?
I'm beginning to think that nobody has a solution to such connection problems. Is there any hope on the horizon? Any chance of something being sorted out by MS?
BTW, how well does BT syncing/internet connection work?
Ok frustration rising.
I can connect to my Belkin wireless router with no problems but I can only log onto the router and not browse the internet!
I have checked that the proxy is not configured.
Anyone got any ideas?
Nope
Hello Everyone
I've got a Vodafone TyTn and I'm having a problem with the wifi access.
If I enable wifi access and connect to my Buffalo WHR-G54S router, there is a long delay while PIE display's a message 'Locating' - this last's about 30 seconds to minute before the web page is displayed.
If I browse with a bluetooth activesync connection the locating message only last's a couple of seconds.
How do I make Wifi browsing work properly?
Cheers David
Put a hardcoded DNS server in wifi configuration instead of getting it by dhcp.
thank you - I'll try that.
Cheers David
Excellent - that worked!
For the record
I used the blueyonder name servers of
Primary DNS 193.38.113.3
Secondary DNS 194.117.157.4
Thanks for the help.
Cheers David.
In my nouse I have an WIFI network with WPA and WPA2. When I use encryption, even WEP, te connection is established but after a few seconds of data transfer, there is connection goes dead. I tested an open connection, a WEP 64, 128, WPA en WPA2 connection. All except the open unencrypted connection stop working after a few seconds. The Ameo keeps being connected to the accespoints, but there is no traffic anymore.
Has somebody else had this problem? I will try a hard reset to test it with a clean install.

Hi there what make is your Access point? (is it a Belkin or Netgear possibly?)
Accespoints
I have a Zyxel 2602HW and a SMC2870W.
You've not got a 3G data session already established have you? I'm guessing its a WM5 'feature' rather than a specific Ameo fault, but if you're got 3G running, then connect to a Wireless Access Point, it gets itself all confused and tries to use the 3G connection for net access. I normally just quickly turn the phone service off and on, once the wifi service is running, via comm manager.
I've also noticed something else, where if I'm sending or receviing e-mail, and I'm already connected to the wifi point, it doesn't know to use the 3G connection rather than the wifi point to access the t-mobile servers. You have to close the wifi session before it is able to send/receive the messages (which don't always immediatly retry) but I'm guessing that maybe I could do something with routing on the Ameo. I need to get a grounding of the network stack on it before I can do it.
No, I tested it by putting it in flight mode and then enable wifi. When I do not use encryption, there is no problem. It works and I can watch ip televison. But when I use encryption, I cannot get a connection with whatever url within seconds. Only reconnect give me again a few seconds. It is frustrating. My MDA PRO and my DELL X30 do not have any problems at all.

yeah i think it happended to me as well..i cannot get connected gor long...at always disconnected and connect again...
one more thing..my previous UNI it always auto detect..but not with dopod..
Compatibility
I found that the Athena is compatible with 3Com accesspoint but not with Zyxel or SMC. I use my neighboors 3Com and that worked. I decided to install my old 3Com Home Connect accesspoint and that one also worked. But the others do not. At this point it does not matter if I use encruption or not. Only the 3Com devices work. Does anybody hav another type of device that works?
Odyssey Access Client
I found this WPA/WPA2 client from Junipur http://download.juniper.net/software/aaa_802/public/oac/WM_Client_45/OdCeClientPPCSigned.ARMV4.CAB
If you have installed this install directly the following file and reset your device. ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Software/OdCl450CrOnlyFALLEN.cab
Now you will see that the Ameo will connect to the other accesspoints.
So you see there is a bug in the WIFI part of the radio rom!
No problem for me, i´m usung a netgear WG834GT for the moment.
Maybe my HTC X7500 Advantage has some other roms with the problems solved because it is swedish

I have no problem using the WIFI. I'm normally able to see about four if I'm at home. The other access points are my neighbours', some of which are secured while others are'nt. If I connect to any one of them they tend to drop off after a while due to week signals. Even if I use my own within the house, the signal is weak sometimes, in which case, the system automatically goes to UMTS connection which is far far faster in my case (Because my WIFI's bottlenect is from the slow ADSL speed of 512kbs download speed max, and my phone, running at UMTS, has higher speed.
So, check the signal strength and see if this is the cause.
Since my works all the time, may be by showing you my wifi configuation for comparison might help.
I'm using WEP data encription. The network key is entered on start>setting>connection>Wi-Fi. I would see all the hot spots there. After I selected my own WIFI, I select connecting to the internet and press NEXT. In the next screen I chose Open WEP and untick automatic box. I then enter the network key which I obtain from my router administration screen on my PC.
That's it. I hope you have your problem resolved soon
Thanks for the info, but this is not my problem. I can connect to whatever accespoint. Only my neighbours accespoint makes it possible to connect to te internet. When I connect to my own network my ZYXEL is giving me troubles because it is blocking traffic after 10 seconds. It doesnot matter if connect to it by WIFI or using my SMC bridge that is connected bij LAN. It doesnot matter if I use encryption or not. Strange enough when I use Odyssey Access Client I can connect to the internet. I have to say that this is not always the case. The signal in my home is more than 80% for both WIFI gateways. Every other device I use, an MDA PRO and a DELL X30, do not have troubles when they want to connect to the internet. So I conclude that the WIFI on my Ameo is not completely compliant. This could be my device, te rom or my gateways. I do not think my gateways are the problem. Both are from different manufacturers.
Seems to me that I have a similar problem...
I got my Ameo yesterday and installed W-Lan. I'm using WAP encription. I get a very weak signal and have a very slow Internet connection (like in the "good-old 54k modem days" ;-). Sometimes there is even no response from the internet. Then I have to close W-Lan in the connection manager and to restart W-Lan again.
Dieter
That is exactly my problem. It works at the beginning but after a few seconds it looks like the Ameo is in quicksand. There is no information from the internet anymore that reaches the Opera browser. I tried Odessey Access Client with better results, but it does not work all the time.
@dieterpapa
What type of accespoint do you have?
i´m using a linksys wrtg router + an additional linksys range expander to cover my house completely.
what i´ve seen, too is that using the ameo about 3 mtrs to the expander i only get minimum w-lan signal.
do we perhaps have a problem with the antenna ?
@qan: how is your signal strength?
dieter
I have the same problem. gets connected no problem. I can download files from my pc. But leave it a few seconds to look at a web page then the connection drops I have to reconnect at com manager. never happend with my mda.

I had the same problems while connecting the Ameo to a Freebox (special router for French DSL offering, http://adsl.free.fr/wifi/).
After installing the programmes you listed (and restarting several times) I could connect with the new WiFi tool. Now sometimes I have problems when the programme thinks WiFi is disabled but in fact it is not, but this is only temporary.
Thanks!
Found Problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have finaly found the problem. I am sure the problem is within the rom of the Ameo. The problem is caused by the auto scaling feature of the processor. When the WIFI connects to an encrypted accesspoint the WIFI connection is not setup correctly. To prove this I have installed Pocket Hack Master and disabled the build-in scaling. After this my Ameo connect without any problem to the accesspoint and internet. This works with every processor frequency from 104Mhz up to 728Mhz. Yes at 728Mhz the Ameo is blazing fast. You won't recognize your device. Also after activating the scaling feature of PHM it still works. After disabeling PHM the connection went dead again.
You have to deactivate the build-in scaling before you activate the WIFI connection.
Lets hope someone can patch the rom or that this problem is not available within WM6.
Gerald
And how to disable internal scaling ?

it's in the setting, disable internal scale
Thanks - found it in the hack master setting.
However my Ameo doesn't pass 728MHz - it hangs. Maximum is 663 MHz.

Hi,
I tried to connect my tytn to my wifi network for the first time yesterday, and couldn't get any web pages to load.
I was connected to the router, and had an IP address assigned by DHCP, but whenever I tried to load any pages in IE, it sat at 'locating' for ages and then errored.
I thought nothing of it and thought I'd give it another try later. But since then, I get the same problem when I try to browse via activesync. The device syncs properly and is connected, but I can't load any web pages.
My first thought was a DNS problem so I've tried setting some static servers but I'm not getting anywhere. I tried 'Microsoft Network Analyzer' which gives me ticks in all the tests (even the one where it pings www.microsoft.com, when I can't browse to there).
I'm now thinking that when I'm connected via activesync it's still trying to use the wifi connection somehow (even though it's turned off). In the network adaptors, wifi is set to DHCP but has an ipv6 address in the box under static IP (odd, as my router doesnt use ipv6).
I'm pretty lost now. I could do a hard reset but I've got a feeling I'd end up in the same place when I next try to get wifi to connect at home.
Any ideas?

Check your connection settings. Some carriers have proxies enabled for your GPRS connection. If you have proxy active, you will not be able to connect through a router. AT&T does this, for example.
Yep, that was it!
My GPRS was set up under 'My Work Connection', and had a proxy server. I disabled the proxy and activesync started working.
So I completely cleared out the 'My Work Network' connection, and added a new one for my providers GPRS which made activesync work. I then set the preferred networks to Work first, then GPRS second, and everything works.
Thanks
