My phone is fine on Edge but as soon as I connect it to Active Sync, it looses its Edge and uses WiFi. Once I remove the active sync, it never connects back to Edge unless I reboot the phone. It keeps saying it cannot dial wap.cingular. I thought the phone was supposed to auto connect on its own to the best connection and switch back. I checked with Cingular and all my settings are what they should be and the Cingular tech had no idea.

Mine does the same - it finds itself without the reset though. It just takes it a little bit.

I have done hard reset and soft resets and still my wifi is not connecting.
Finally my EDGE is working great but wifi not. Whenever I try to connect my SSID is set to "EMC Wireless Internal" channel 11. I have no idea where this cam from but I can not get rid of it. I have a new FIOS Actiontec router with wireless enabled to my network name, channel 10. And Hitchhiker tries to connect but it keeps getting bumped off.
I have gone into MediaNet and turned off the proxy and checked for it to go onto the internet on Cingular GPRS.
I have not had a problem connecting before on wifi. I wonder if the router is a problem here, or if my phone settings are screwed up.
And ideas?
Thanks
The WiFi - EDGE contengency
*The Bad News*
By default, if EDGE/GPRS is configured to work, WiFi is rendered useless.
You didnt mention what carrier you have. I have Cingular and they even state on there website that If you configure the Edge/GRPS to connect, then WiFi may not work.
*The Good news*
I have my 8125 working with both Edge and WiFi. Heres what I did:
1. Open Connnections and click on the 'ADVANCED' tab.
2. Click on 'SELECT NETWORKS'.
3. The top pull down should be set to 'MY ISP' or, if you have named your WiFi connection something different, select it here.
4. Click 'EDIT' under this pull down and set connection to 'AUTO PICK'. 'OK' back to Network Management screen.
5. The bottom pull down should be set to 'MEDIA NE'T.
6. Click on 'EDIT' under this pull down. This is where you will set up EDGE using your carrier's settings.
7. 'OK' your way back out. Your done.
These settings let WiFi try to connect first. If no WiFi is available then EDGE/GPRS is used.
Good Luck!
Thank you! Worked for me, but videos streamed from orb still aren't working

I also have WiFi problems after installing HTC official upgrade
ROM 2.25.11.1 WWE
Date 5/11/06
Radio 02.25.11
Protocol 4.1.13.12
ExtROM 2.25.11.102
Everything is great except after successful connection to home WiFi it disconnects after maybe 5 to 15 seconds ... network becomes "unavailable" .. no error message. This happens even when not connected to CIngular EDGE/GPRS (flight mode ON then, individually enable WiFi ON for what that's worth). When I delete my home network WiFi entry to force a re-recognition and setup, it recognizes the wireless net just fine (again) but same behavior.
All my settings are already set as suggested by ralugniC8125 in this thread. I had not tried any of the other ROMs with added features/hacks/fixes found on this website ... would any of them behave differently, you think? PHone was bought from Cingular .. I have not done any unlock procedure (don't really need to from a service standpoint but will if necessary to make a new ROM work right).
Any thoughts appreciated...

I have just purchased an unlocked Tilt from eBay. I have been scanning the wiki for days now, along with other sources, and to no avail. I still cannot get my WiFi to work properly. If any one has had this issue and has found a solution, I would love to know it!
ok, here's a suggestion since none of you have mentioned it.
Diable the MAC (Media Access Control) Binding on the router. This should help.
Maybe yall can help me now I have it attempting to connect however it only connects to gprs and it even shows it has a great wifi signal
Still Wifi-less and Woeful

Thanks for the suggestion. This did not help unfortunately. I should mention that I have tried to access several different types of routers... with and without security, and while they are showing up as being available, they will not stay connected for more than a second or two.
Any other possibilities?
Is it possible to setup the 8525 so that it only connects to internet through Wi-Fi and not any of the other options? Based on some threads, it looked like Cingular has disabled this option, but I am not quite sure. Thanks.
The only way I was able to do it was to call Cingular Tech and have them disable the GPRS on their end, now if I go to PIE and the WiFi is off, the GPRS/EDGE Connection pop-up opens, then I get an error message saying the network could not be found and a dismiss icon....
The only way it will connect to IE is through WiFi now.

if you go to settings then connection and delete the connection settings for gprs it will not connect and you can use wifi only
however i seem to keep getting gprs not connected error if i do so?
I'm having the same problem. I'm totally green to the high tech world. Heck this is my first attempt at anything greater than using my calculator function in a phone So if someone could walk me through what I need to do to set my phone up so I can connet through wifi i would reaaaally appreciate it.
I had Cingular put me on the no data plan (not even pay per use). In case that makes a difference.
Thanks in advance for the help.
All I did was go in to the connection settings and change the User name and Password. I do not get any error messages stating the network cannot be found. I get a login screen with User/Pass and Domain. I just click cancel and it drops back to IE.
Now I do not have to worry about accidentally connecting to their service.
well,we can very much achieve it -- In the internet settings in connections,select both of them to My ISP,edit it to nowap.cingular.com
Make sure setting is set to Internet,not work!
I did it and I use only wifi all the time!!
The previous solutions are not really workable for me since I don't want to delete my cellular data connection, I just want to be able to turn it on and off as I choose. With Windows Live, I can have a Wifi connection and turn off cellular data in the comm manager screen and it will just open the cellular connection again.
A hack to turn off the "auto connect" for the cellular data would be great. Make it like the BT or WIFI, where I have to go to the comm screen and turn it on. That choice would be great.
Anyhow, I am thinking of making the Work connection as the default, then deleting all work connections. Then when I actually want a cellular data connection, I could manually select it and say connect. I'm not sure if the applications will close it and try the work connection again or not. I will try it and post again, probably tomorrow.

This works wonders:

ETA: This is what I have been using to deal with gprs autoconnect on my 8525 and it's perfect for my uses. You just start the program and toggle on or off the data connections.
Gprs Disable
It really works thanks for your research
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
hi, got a HTC kaiser last week, was working fine, internet, email, tomtom.
but a few days ago i put an orange sim card in and now half the time i try to access the internet in anyway it connects to GPRS instead of wifi despite me being only a few feet away from the router.
i don't want GPRS, i don't want to pay for it so i disabled GPRS under comms manager but as soon as i do the button flicks back over and it reconnects and only sometimes give me an option to disconnect.

sounds good, how do i do that?
it should automatically connect you to wifi. even if the gprs signal is on, it should still be connecting through wifi regardless.

the thing is i had credit/minutes on a simcard and after i checked my email and it connected/disconnected while i was fighting with it my credit went from £2.00 to £0.01
I am pretty sure ABACABB will do the trick.
abacabb?
i googled it aswell -_-

Easy
Start-settings-connections-connections again-manage existing connections-edit the one is active and change the values to anything you want.
Also as other members say there must be an app to do so, but I prefer to do it manually
Good luck,

Hi,
You might want to take a look here. Paul has a neat little app for your problem.

^thankyou
^^thankyou
The NODATA did the trick for me thanks
Does anyone using the unlocked T-MO USA HD2 on ATT, experience any problems with the connection. Mine sometimes says it can't connect, and then connects anyway. If anyone is having any other troubles like this, insight would be appreciated.
I guess I will dialogue with a fellow Indiananan. LOL. Anyway yes, you will have connection issues with at&t at times. Whenever I soft reset my phone all connections will be lost and I have to reset all connections again which is a hassle. It doesnt reset all the time, but its definitely annoying when it does. After reboot you have to wait about 15-30 seconds sometimes just for it to connect to edge or manually go into comm manager and select data connection to on. Hope this helps as you didnt explain specific connection issue.
Well thank you, this does explain some things. When I reset, whether it be a soft reset or power up the phone, I usually go into COMM manager and initiate the EDGE connection, but you say that if give a few minutes it will connect automatically? Correct?
Yes it most certainly will. It a hassle because Im paranoid im going to miss a call, etc during the time its trying to initiate with EDGE.
yea bro i was going through the same thing as you, heres the solution erase all the net work connections that you have (tmobile data,Tmobile internet,Tmobile mms etc.) then install the Att media net and mms cab and reset your device , then go back into netwrok connections and choose media net as the main way to connect to the internet using a private network and a non private network (settings>menu>all settings>connections>connections>advanced>select network)

Will doing this make it where it connects to ATT's EDGE connection upon Boot, I'm really sick of doing it everytime I reset the phone?

Yes it will because the phone is automatically connecting to the network.
So far it has worked, I deleted the T-Mo connection option in the connection manager, and it connected to EDGE with in seconds of booting. Do you know of anything that I could do to fix the random disconnects?
Instead of trying to connect to T-Mo's by default, I gotcha. It works perfectly. You just increased my love for this phone exponentially, as that was my only real gripe with this device, and of course no ATT 3G, but that was expected.
Sorry, but why no 3G from AT&T?

It is physically impossible with T-Mobile USA HD2, it doesn't support the right 3G bands, if you want 3G on ATT, you will have to get the Telestra HD2.
