Wi Fi connection on SPV M600
Hi, did you ever manage to sort this problem? I have just bought one of these and am experiencing the same difficulties as you.
Any help appreciated
Thankyou
Hi guys.
Little silly question:
What are the settings on your router?
If this is your home network then you typed in the WAP or WEP key to set it up. Otherwise, you don't need one.
Have you even tryed to read the manual? It helps.
wifi connection problems
Hi, maybe i should've explained more
I am trying to connect to my wifi router at home (netgear). My m600 has found the the signal. i tap on the network name and go to the CONFIGURE WIRELESS NETWORK screen,in the GENERAL tab i can see the SSID, i select THE INTERNET from the drop down menu next to "connects to", in the NETWORK KEY tab i set authentication to OPEN, Data encryption to WEP & then enter the network key.
I then go back to the CONFIGURE WIRELESS NETWORK screen and my m600 is trying to connect, then it will say AVAILABLE but not CONNECTED - why is this????
Also, it only stays AVAILABLE for about 30 seconds and then its status changes back to UNAVAILABLE
I really would be most grateful for any help in this matter
Thanks in advance , Jimmy
Sounds like you are typing the key wrong.
Make sure encryption type and key matches exactly the settings on your router.
Try disabling encryption on your router and see if you can connect.
M600 wifi connection problem
Thanks levenum - still no luck though
Although i have managed to connect to my neighbours unsecured network (very poor connection though)
Has wifi connection been explained indepth elsewhere? or am i the only unlucky (retarded) one? :roll:
Hang on a second, something I saw in the other thread (somewhere in Network forum):
You need to type the actual key (hex values) and not the pass phrase if you are using one.
Sorry, don't know any guides.
wifi connection problem SORTED!
Cheers levenum,
i dont wanna make myself look a complete idiot so i should say that i did have the proper key typed into the box at 64bit encryption
however, i changed it to 128bit encryption and it connected straight away
I have no idea why
I wonder what i'll be moaning about next??? :wink:

cld anyone plz help me in connecting xda exec to WiFi. I have Netgear : DG834G and the router configrations are shown in the picture
under > CONFIGURE WIRELESS NETWORKS
i can see the available network named NETGEAR ----- which is the name of my wireless router,but it keeps displaying connecting/available only.
if there is any step by step instructions in the forum plz give me the link
many thanks
Check you've got the following settings in "Configure Wireless Network" on your Exec:
General tab:
Network name: NETGEAR
Connects to: The Internet
Network key tab:
Authentication: WPA-PSK
Data Encryption: TKIP
Network key: [whatever it is]
Also, make sure your WiFi network adaptor in your Exec is configured for static or dynamic IP, whatever your network router is set up for.

Don't forget to reset your access point. Sometimes a simple reset takes care of the connection problem.

Does it work on the HTC Universal?
Yes the software is written for PPC. And the screenshots are windows 2003.
It should work on HTC Universal. I'm testing the software now. (only 9 Euro's) It should create more overview when configuring the WiFi network.

I tried the software but it doesn't support Qtek Universal.
The tool doesn't recognize the wifi adapter. Note that i did turn it on.
I hope they will support the Universal soon!

Hi WizzarD-me,
If you are looking for a WiFi scanner. Try WiFiFoFum, it works great on the Universal.
http://www.aspecto-software.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=311&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=30
Refer to mine, I have the Netgear router using a jasjar.
I dont use the WPA-SPK, I use the 64bit WEP encryption, and have provided the settings on my router and on my JJ, hope they help.
If you need further help directly PM me and we can use messenger by my screen shots should be self explanatory.
If you dont mind, could you let me know when you have connected and retrieved so that I can make appropriate edits to this post.

Update
I was thinking. Since the option for connecting to the internet automaticaly does not indicate a WiFi connection... the PocketWinc program didn't find the WiFi cause i had my phone connection online.
After closing the program and turning of the phone connection and enabling the WiFi connection the program recognized the WiFi antenna.
Still experimenting with it at home. It has a Wifi Sniffer option in which you can set a WiFi sniffer interval. The program remembers the networks and you can set you favorites and even remember the settings on those.
The reason i set this program on this post was and still is for the overview of settings the program provides. You can sellect the network SSID and create a report of the IP configuration. There are several other interesting options like ping, trace route and more.
PS thanks for the link. I will check the WIFOFUM thingy
If anyone has the time could they help
I need someone to talk me through wifi..
I have xda exec but cant seem to get connected via access point..
I have installed the above software and wififofum. but nothing
Please help
router to have;
- ssid created, suggest a family name or similar, broadcast it
- dhcp enabled and auto control
- enable wep encryption (128 or 64 bit)
- use a shared key 9usually a choice of 4, pick one)
universal needs:
- wifi turned on!
_ start - settings - connections - network
- ypu should see it searching, cancel auto detects, do it manually
- in connections, add
- insert info above
* ssid
* choose wep encryption, shared, remove auto, enter the choosen key, txice
* slect and tell it which key number you chose (eg 1-4)
those are my settings to get it working initially
You can later if you want disable your dhcp, dns, wins n stuff
you may want to consider stopping broadcasting ssid later to prevent people looking for the network, but the wep key encryption should prevent all but the most enthusiastic genius from using the network.
this works on my netgear system.
the WIFI state is connected. but when I try to open a webpage, eg,www.google.com, it shows error: the page cannot be found. Check the name and try again. anyone knows that? how can I fix it?
Thanks.
HELP ME
Someone can help me?!
Where are you using the wifi? Is it your home network or work/hotspot?
Go to settings then the connections tab then tap the "wireless lan" icon. Tell us what you see on that screen, then click the advanced tab and tell us what is there too. Finally click "menu" then "network cards" and tell us what is there (should be a list of available networks).
The only problem I have with my wireless is that i need to have a very strong signal to be able to receive my IP address via DHCP. Once it has it then it's OK and i can wander about but I get no address when the signal is weak ( less than 50%).
Cheers

Check that you have set the connection type to "internet" - I suspect this problem occurs because you have it set to "work".
Chris
I am having the same problem , my signal is nearly 100%, the phone is set to internet, Belkin 54g,, authentication is 'open', WEP, the key was entered manually (26 digits ), do i use 802.1 access ?
mode is infrastructure, tx rate is auto, channel 11,, the mac and ip address is correct,, what is enroll ?
I have tried everything and it is obviously connected so why will it not load pages ?
Had the same problem myself with my XDA IIs. Only solution I could find was to turn disable the firewall on my router. No idea why that worked, and cant find a way to turn the firewall on without causing the problem again, but it did work!
got smilar problem here, some times even when i connected and browsed web say 2 mins. ago suddenly connection can not be established i have tried it with belkin 54g linksys and 3com routers all same couldnt find any solution and accepted it as it is

hello All and Gadget
Bought the XDA mini S from 02 yesterday and havent really been playing with it except installing programs, removing the 02 files and finding my way round the phone.
Anyway, having problem with getting WIFI, can anyone help?
At home, I use Wanadoo broadbrand wireless 'livebox' and here are the following details on the Mini S:
Wireless Lan> main tab> SSID - blank, mode - infrastruture, BSSID -blank, Tx rate - auto, channel - 0
Advanced tab > status, not connected to network, MAC - 00-09-2D-8D-66-BF, IP - 0.0.0.0
network cards tab> wireless tab - wanadoo - 2D9E available
network adaptors> network card connects to 'The internet'
Thanks in advance
Andy
Might be a stupid question but.....
Have you got any security on your wireless router? if so have you permitted the MAC code of your device to connect and obtain an IP address from your router?
Anthony.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Another stupid question is how do I find out if I have security on my wireless router and if i have security, how can i permit the mac code to do its stuff.
Thanks again.
Andy
Check out:
http://help.wanadoo.co.uk/resultDis...Configuration+Manager&resultType=5002#Goto155
Have you set up a WEP security key to prevent unauthorised access to your ADSL Connection? if not then you should; I think the 'LiveBox' has a default key which you have to enter to connect and obtain an IP address.
Not being familiar with this router, I cannot tell you exactly but I would expect you to have to permit a new MAC code under the 'associated devices' menu.
Sorry for being Vague.
Hope this helps. :roll:

First of all, thanks for the link. I am able to see all the details (technical) of my livebox on the wanadoo configuration page.
There is a WEP key set and having tried to enter as much info on the relevant places on the mini s, no luck.
The mini s does recognise the 'livebox' and connects to it then drops off. However, it doesnt pick up any info from the 'box' to complete the relevant wireless tabs on the mini s.
Dont know how I'm going to resolve this but thanks for your help so far.
Shame not to utilise the Mini S with my current wireless broadband connnection.
Cheers
Andy
Hi All
Thanks for the advice so far and after so many attempts I am still unable to configure the mini s to use the wireless connection at home.
Need a huge favour. Would anyone give up a few minutes of their time to go through the configuration on the phone with me.
Please PM me your contact number and when it is convienent for me to call you back.
Much appreciated.
Andy
Hi Andy,
the settings depend to some extent on whether you have an access point (router) or shared connection.
You need to know the network name SSID, (and whether it's hidden)
WEP, WPA/PSK key,
Whether (as previously stated) you have MAC address control enabled in your router
Whether you have DHCP enabled (for automatic IP address from router)
Whether you need to log on (enroll) to password protected shares.
In the mini-S wifi>Menu>Network Cards>Network Adapters tab you should set your network card to connect to The Internet and check that the adapter (SDIO WLAN etc.) is set to use auto IP (if you have DHCP) or pick your own IP address if you have a fixed range.
If you have Zone Alarm or another firewall (I surely hope so :wink make sure that the (mini-S) IP address is in the trusted zone
Lastly; if you seem to be connected but you can't get any web pages - just a page not found error, try killing bloody ActiveSync on the mini-S, sometimes when I'm browsing I suddenly can't access pages and that's what the problem turns out to be - when you stop active sync running in the background it all starts to work again.
This is assuming you have a router not a shared connection which may be slightly different.
Oh....and read the threads about 802.11b and g, if your router only allows 11g the mini-S doesn't connect (I'd find the threads and point you to them but I gotta get back to work soz)
HTH (feel free to contradict or put me straight guys

I had the same problem with my Linksys WRT54G before. I upgraded the firmware (dowloaded from Linksys website) of my WRT54G and the problem solved.
New to the board (Just got my Cingular 8125) Having the same problem.
I get an IP addressfrom my router, it shows I am connected on my network settings, but still can't pull up any pages. It has never worked since I got it (only 3 days though) Someone please help us.
If >Connection Manager>Settings>WiFi Settings shows you have an IP address and are connected (Advanced :Status) then check your firewall settings and try stopping ActiveSync, always seems to do the trick for me
Also check out this post, could this be your problem?

@ cozzykim
I have shut down my zone alarm and don't have firewall enabled on my linksys WRV54G. ActivesSync is also closed. Still no luck
I will try to update my ROM it is not far fetched that cingular Jerry rigged the WiFi. I hope ther is a class action suit coming soon.

I have a MDA PRO
Rom Version: 1.12.42 wwe
Radio : 1.08.00
Protocol: 42.41.P8
Ext rom: 1.12.126 WWE
What I want to do: I am trying to connect to the internet using pocket internet explorer using my wifi network at home and not GPRS.
The problem: I go to 'Settings' >>"connections" tab >> 'Network Cards'>> "wirelss" tab
It displays my wifi connection and it says "available" so I {tap and hold} and select 'connect'. It then states that it is 'connecting' but it doesnt connect and reverts back to saying that my network is "available'.
What am I doing wrong? Do I have to set up something on my pc? Any additional settings on my Universal that i should initiate?
I tried searching the forum with no luck in finding someone with the same problem. Is there a thread with a guide that can help me out. Thanks for your time.
soft reset the phone
then no need to go into settings
on today screen (main screen) touch the "G" at the top
it will ask you if you want to activate wifi
select
it should connect automatically
I have exactly the same problem with my M5000.
Can anyone help?
Are your home wireless networks protected (eg WEP or WPA) ? If so - and I would hope so - then are you using the applicable WEP/WPA settings and key when trying to connect ?
Worth also trying to set the IP address manually on the PDA, see if this helps ?
For me, the first thing to do when experiencing wireless probs is to temporarily disable any encryption and see if it works then.....and then re-enable, carefully inputting key etc.

What happened there ! :roll:
On the Blue Angel, it was simple - you just set up a new connection, enter the PSK, connect and off you go!
On the Universal, however, I'm having no joy. I've set up the WEP and PSK stuff and the PDA can connect to the network, but when I try and open IE it opens up GPRS. Also, PC Anywhere only works via USB - again, it won't connect via WiFi. I'm sure it's just a case of adjusting some settings but I don't know which ones!
Wifi Connection Problems
Hi I'm experiencing exactly the same problems trying to connect.
I have a Wanadoo Livebox and my xda exec.
I've tried with my connection both unsecured and with 128bit wep encryption using the correct wep key....I still get connecting, followed by available, repeated continuously?
I have the xda set to connect to "the internet" and the authentication to "open". Key index is 1.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Hi, Just a bit more info...
Encryption is set to "wep"
Mac address is associated with the livebox.
802.1x is ticked to use IEEE 802.1x network access control.

I just checked (with my Blue Angel) that the router and everything else is working and I'm happy to say it all is.
I set up the new connection on the BA from scratch - WPA-PSK enabled, nice long PSK, and I'm using TKIP. Network connects to: The Internet.
This allows me to remote up to the PC via PC Anywhere, and allows me to connect to the 'Net for free via the WiFi router.
When I duplicate the settings on the Universal, neither of the above works. What am I doing wrong?
Help!
You haven't got mac address filtering enabled on your router, and have forgotten to add your Universal's mac address to the list, have you?
Cheers,
Steve.
No, it's disabled.
hehe i had this problem tonight and was going to post up.
Has your router got MAC-control or anything on it? My SSID is not set to broadcast so I put the settings in manually.
I deleted the settings, and put them in manually again a few times, making sure I had the encryption stuff set correctly.
Eventually it connected and now seems to be working fine.

Ad Hoc?
Ok, I've tried every possible combination possible and nothing is helping. So my next question to get around this problem>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Can I use my pc as a ad-hoc and us it as my gateway for my Universal?
I have a pc in the office down the hall with the actually wireless router, I have a pc in my room that is accessing the wireless router from the office.
Please let 'US' know if you have tried ad hoc or if you find the right settings to connect to the main wireless router.
Thank you
I am on my wifi network typing this, and my settings show 802.1x network access control not having a tick and network adapter connected to Work......on my iPaq hx4700 before, I used these same settings as they seemed to work well, although it ran WM2003SE not WM5.....
All this said, however, but I was lucky in that my MDA Pro connected to my wifi network at the first attempt - except not with as strong a signal as the iPaq had.....
Wifi Settings
Can anyone who has connected okay, let us have their full settings, so that we can try them?
Is your Router set 802.11g only?
You need to set the router to accept 802.11b and 802.11g.
If your router will only output at 54g, you could try the hack to switch the universal to 54g. I am yet to try this so I don't know if it works.
My MDA Pro connected straight out of the box once I set the ssid and encryption.
Hope this helps

I've been on the phone talking to 3rd line support at Orange.
Basically, the guy is totally flummoxed!
After trying to talk me through the setup from memory, it seems as though a whole menu of WiFi settings has disappeared from the phone - specifically, the ones that we need! This being the case, he's going to get hold of an M5000 tomorrow and will then bell me back so we can go through the whole process together, both of us using an M5000.
One thought that did occur to me was this: I've only just (like, 3 days ago!) upgraded to the M5000 and I've taken on some kind of free Internet access scheme with my tariff. Could it be that the settings for that (that are sent by Orange in a data SMS) have knackered the WiFi setup?
I'm considering a hard reset with a soft reset before the .CAB files install but will at least wait until tomorrow.
I'll keep you all posted....
Hey
I've been trying to connect to the internet through my Orange Livebox using a WiFi connection from my SPV 3100.
I tried all settings but couldnt connect to the Livebox at all.
I found a post about using a static IP to connect on another forum this actually had success in that it actually managed to connect to the Livebox and the internet but after a certain period the connection randomly seems to drop and after a while doesnt connect at all.
I havent changed any of the settings on the Livebox, I've tried almost everything on the M3100 but to no success.
If anyone has had success achieving this could they please let me know how they managed to do it.
All help appreciated and thanks in advance
Has you livebox got a button on it? If it has its the pairing buttonn... You need to hold that when pairing... I know you had to do that on the old wanadoo liveboxes...
Yes it has and i have been using it as per the instructions.
Thanks for your help
Has any1 else managed to use their SPV M3100 to access the web thru their Orange Unlimited Livebox if you have managed it can you please let me know how u managed it.
Thanks in advance again
Hi,
I have managed to get my 3100 working with my Orange Livebox.
Make sure you have pressed the pairing button on the livebox.
I found that I had to change the settings on my phone in the 'Configure Network Authentication' section to :
Authentication - OPEN
Data Encryption: WEP
and then enter the WEP key found on your Livebox.
Hope this helps,
Mark
Thanks Mark
I've done that already to no avail
Was there by chance anything else you did to the settings?

The above worked for me. I entered my key in capitals
Thanks everyone after some trial and error tests in a different environment i found the problem to be nothing more malicious than a simple Livebox wireless channel clash where i'm using the box is pretty densely residential and i think the sheer number of wireless networks made it impossible for my SPV 3100 to connect using the default wifi channel 1 after picking an ubscure channel (11 i think) i've had no problems and am actually posting this message using my 3100 through a wifi connection to my Livebox
Thanks again everyone
I have been reading this forum and many others all day about the wifi problems people are having but none are like mine so I would like to ask this question, I turn on wifi and it will not find my network or any network around. I have tried to manually put in the ssid and ip address and still it will not connect that way either. I have checked and double checked all my router setting (currently set to open with no wep or anything) I am begining to wonder if the wifi is broken? My second problem I have found it when I change the connection setting to my isp I cannot connect to the internet. Maybe a bad setting, I am not really sure. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
is your router set to broadcast the ssid? if not then that is the problem. if this option is not enabled then no one can see your router.
as far as connecting via a cell connection, make sure you are using an operator cab. I am sure if you do a simple search you will be able to find a cab that will load all of the proper setting for a cellular internet connection.
who is your provider?
Yes, my router does bradcast the ssid and I have four computers and printers that find it without anyproblems. When i turn on wi-fi the phone doesn't even search for a network the icon shows up but I don't get the arrow that go back on forth to show that it is searching or connecting.
I am also having a problem with my 8525. I do get connected but i cant browse the net. Can someone tell me how to setup a connection from scratch to connect to wifi. Thanks

Search around on the Hermes forum. IE doesn't know to use the WiFi connection when it's available. There's a registry key setting that needs to be changed in order for IE to make use of the WiFi connection rather than going out over your data connection with your carrier.
