Can anyone help, I have an MDA Vario and a card for unlimited T-Mobile hotspot usage. However usually I turn on my wifi, open Internet Explorer and type the user name and password in the box.
However the landing page then says, do not close this window or you will continue to be charged.
Does anybody have an easier way of connecting to hotspots without using the provider landing page?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I have recently purchased an XDA 2i (Via o2 (cheapest contract)) and I would like to use wlan ocassionally through the odd hotspot, but on looking at the o2 site (www.o2.co.uk/wlan) I.ve discovered that to use o2 wlan, the cost would be ludicrous - bearing in mind that I would only be using the service very infrequently.
I was wondering if there was another way around this problem, such as a pre-pay card or something.
If there is, I would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction on setting the xda 2i up for the service.
Thanking you in anticipation.

wlan is just wirelan networking
if you get a sniffer you may be able to use
open wifi networks or unsecure wifi networks
or get yourself a home wifi internet router if
those rare times you need it you happen to be at home too
How do you select what network connection to use? 99% of the time I only ever want the phone to connect to the internet over Wifi (or bluetooth/cable connection to the computer) and not using Cingular's network. There is the occasional time that I would like to enable that but most of the time I want to only use the Wifi. Where can I set so it doesn't connect to Cingular accidentally (say if I'm out of Wifi range or hit the wrong button) so i don't get large data charges?
Thanks
In connexion option set default internet connexion as "my work network" and privat network default as "my work network" as well.
So lemme just confirm something - unless I configure server settings on the a HTC TyTN (using stock rom) on the Cingular network - it will not be able to use Cingulars network right? The only time I will be able to access the internet with the phone is over wifi, bluetooth connection (or USB) with an internet enabled computer. Otherwise the internet will not function and I will not be charged data charges correct?
I don't really ever find myself using the internet on a phone when I'm away from home so I can't justify the expense of the data service but I work on a few websites that I'd like to look good on a cellphone so that's my main reason for wanting internet access on it - so while I'm at work I can log into the wifi system and test the site while I'm tweaking the code.
Am I correct in assuming that I shouldn't be charged under this situation?
Hi, I'm on Vodafone and I made the changes fun_key posted without noting down the original settings. Please can someone tell me what the default settings are for internet connection and private network connection. Thanks
My Cingular 8125 randomly drops my wifi connection while connected to my home wireless network. Problem did not really seem to start until after I connected once at starbucks to tmobile hot spot.
Please help
have you removed the starbucks settings?
you find it in "network cards" (strange place for it)
yes...i did.
I also have socket communication's wifi companion loaded on my device
prob not the reason, but i recently heard that if someone is trying to "borrow" your internet access.

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 seem to have a problem where the phone no longer detects if there is a WiFi landing page nor an internet connection.
I have tried wiping the network settings to no avail. This seems to happen on all connections.
Cheers

Have you tried to go on any non https sites like http://www.cnn.com to get redirected to a log in page>

That's fine I do get redirected....the problem I suffer with is if I have a public hotspot stored for example a FoN hotspot and then when I am out and about it picks one up. The phone connects and then does not realise that it can't access the internet until I login in. Until recently it would come up with a sign in notification and if I did not it would disconnect from that wireless network and remain on the mobile network.
I now do not get that sign in notification and it just remains connected to the wireless network with no real internet connection as it is within a walled garden.
Thank you in advance.

In wireless setting forget the network, then connect to it again. This should bring up the login page. Bookmark the page and you will have it for future access.
