I don't know what is going on specifically but I need to confirm whether this is a cell tower issue or a device issue.
Before replacing my 8525 to another one, the 8525 had no issue connecting at work GPRS/UMTS (well G, at least). I would use AIM throughout the day and have no issues whatsover. Now when I got the new device, after having it at work for one day (and working) the past few days, the connection would say it's connecting but then disconnects, then tries to connect again and then disconnects. It just keeps doing that till it finally tells me, Error in connecting (dismiss or hide). If I hide/dismiss it, a few minutes later, it goes through the same routine.
I thought it was the device at first (which it still could be) but I decided to go to lunch and BAM, it connected without any issue.
Another wierd anamoly would be where I would tether the phone to my laptop. After a while, the device would say that it got disconnected that it can't dial to the modem, however, my laptop would still be connected without any interruption?
HUH?
Is there anything on the device that needs to be configured correctly?
Same here
I get the same problem up in a small town in WI. I beleive it to be a connection issue with that tower, as I don't have any problems in IL or around larger cities.

Yes, after going through 3 cing reps, finally someone who knows how to utilize the system and find out that there is an issue in the area regarding data transfers. After raising the issue with them and the cing rep figuring what was going on, he raised it to the proper people and had it fixed within a few hours.

I hope someone can help me. My new xda exec will not detect wifi anywhere. I can get it to work when sync lead to my laptop but I just found out it is routing to my laptops network connection. I have gone through all the settings and cannot find anything wrong it just keeps on saying scanning network
Hi Simba1623,
I'm new to XDA's but have been playing with WiFi networks for a while.
So i'll have a couple of guess's :wink:
Is the router broadcasting its SSID ?
Do you have spare IP's available ?
Have you added the MAC address if you've got MAC flittering switched on ?
All are common causes for devices not finding the network.
Thanks for responding. The id issue is sorted as when I first setup the xda it did work and asked me for password and worked fine. Then the following day stopped. There is plenty of address left and it won't work anywhere. Regarding mac address I have no idea but will cheack with a friend. When I bought the XDA I was assured it would pretty much work out of the box...... and it did for one day Thanks again :?
Try to delete the connection settings associated with your router (in the wireless manager), hopefully that should allow you to "discover" the router again and fingers crossed it should stay working
Thanks I just I tried that. It didn't work straight away but following full shutdown and battary removal it seems to be working now. Fingers crossed it stays
Wifi signal almos DEAD, very strange
Hi, My O2 Exec has problems with the WIFI connection, no matter where I go, if O2 Exec isn't really near the access point, will not detec or connect to the wireless network.
when I say near, is around 1 meter from the access point antenna, if I go more tham 3 meters, goes almot 100% oofline and 4 meters even detect. It happens at home and at work, in both locations my laptop works fine 40m from the access point and my nokia 9500 (cel I used to have) goes 30m, I've made this tests of distance today.
So... seems to be on My O2Exec the problem... ... I think started when I upgraded the ROM to latest build available at my-xda.
Please, any clue? I already changed performance/battery from the control panel/wireless and even reset many times, updated the rom again.. no clue at all...
HELP!!!!
mac address
hi,
i am new to networking esp. wifi. i am not sure how and from where can i get mac address for my device, its a siemens sx66 (w/o cam) have upgraded to ivan's latest rom. please help
o2 atom wifi issues
Hi there,
I also have had the same problems with my o2 Exec, when I first turned it on, it wouldn't detect any access points, after driving myself nuts with trying to work out what was wrong, I eventually put it down to the phone. so I rang O2 and they told me to send it back. Strangely just after that phone call it detected the network and has been working fine. Until last night when it decided that it couldn't connect again. It still sees the network, but will not connect, even though it says that it is available.
Also a couple of days ago the speakers in the phone stopped working after I used the radio with the headset. After putting the headset back in and pulling it out about 20 times. it did work again. but not before I went CRAZY AND HARD RESET THE DAM THING.
I hate this phone, I have owned the o2 mini and the jasjam, this is the worst of them........
I am selling mine as soon as I get O2 to replace this piece of crap.
I am consistently having one problem with my 8525. Whenever I try to connect to the wifi at my university, the phone freezes. I have to remove the battery and reboot it to fix it. I don't have problems with any other wireless networks. I am confused and I have no idea how to fix the problem. Anyone have any idea what's going on?
The phone is probably waiting for some packet of data from the university that either isn't arriving or is very slow to arrive.
After a minute or two it should time out and the phone should work again.
My HTC HD has WIFI Problem: WiFi will not turn on most of the time.
After tapping the Wi-Fi Switch (in Communications Tab) it hangs for about 7 seconds then stops.
Sometimes after 6 seconds the wifi Icon will appear for 1/2 a second but then disappears.
The only way I can get it to connect at all is if the device is cool and I remove the battery for a while....
...Then restart it and Wi-Fi will switch on sometimes (but fail most of the time).
I have flashed the ROM (by different Cookers) many times, Hard Reset the device many times, and used all different power settings: Still no good.
If error reporting is ON I get error message "device.exe' problem.
As I live in Australia I would have to pay heaps for freight if I send it back to UK so I'm loath to do so.
Anybody know what should I do to fix it?
(PS. My old Diamond connects every time)
I have a similar WiFi connectivity problem, but after reading of the poor service provided by most vendors and HTC itself, I will try to gather some more experience with the problem before I contact HTC or my vendor, and hopefully find a solution. Bellow is my experience so far:
I own an HTC Touch HD since January and have a similar problem, only it surfaced last week. Before I had only used the WiFi connectivity briefly. The problems started after I installed an AP on my house expressively for the new PDA. The node is fully open and set to B/G/N protocols.
After a couple days of medium (couple hours per day) use the WiFi connection suddenly quit, the device would try to connect (the top bar showing the WiFi connection animation continuously) and after a few moments gave up with a dialog box stating the current network settings were wrong (even thou they worked fine a few hours earlier).
I tried several hot and cold resets, but only solved the problem after flashing a new ROM; even then the same symptoms reappeared after a couple of days of regular use. Again no re-setting would cure the problem, and now not even flashing the ROM again would work. Nonetheless, some hours latter the WiFi would connect perfectly with the same nodes it refused to before, and in very short time.
I have witnessed this cycle twice and have yet not been able to find a trigger for it, but will keep my eyes open for any tell tale signs, and post any findings here.
What I found out is that If you are using CommManager in TF3D together with other wifi mgr it screws up the wifi. Either you use CommManager or you use 3rd party one but not both at the same time.
Agreed!
Yes I agree completely; something on the permanent storage area got corrupted last week after I installed WiFi Monster (which I like, and recommend, only not at the same time as the standard connection manager).
I managed to get the WiFi conection working again (if only for a couple of days...) by doing the Start>Settings>Clear Storage thing and following the re-install.
Ok, so at least now I know of one more thing that can screw up th HD's WiFi besides itself!
i cant connect to my wifi in my same bedroom !!!
Enhancing WiFi performance
If you get very low range, or frequent connection interruptions, it might help to go to: Settings>Connections>Wi-Fi>Advanced>Power Mode and set it to "Best Performance"
PS. I wonder if anybody gets intermittent WiFi problems like myself. One day it works perfectly, the next it will not connect showing a dialog box: "Warning Cannot connect to the network. Check your network and service provider settings and try again"
Hi all, Searching all over for answers. Appreciate your help very much, not to be long-winded, but trying to be detailed. I've posted this message on other forums with no replies. Looking like not a common problem.
My phone Samsung Omnia SCH-i910, has the Verizon GPS unlocked ROM i910.10 V.CF03.2096 (WM6.1 Pro), don't think it's an issue here. My trouble is after using WiFi, will not work with cellular data. (Does not always happen, but seems to be related). Will "connect", but cannot download email, and cannot display web pages. After spending a hour on phone with Verizon support last week, went through 3 reps, finally resorting to hard reset cleared it up. Been working fine since today when try to connect wireless again. Another issue that may be related, I have a Linksys WRE54G range expander at home, which has been working great. The access point/router is at business 800 feet away with a parabolic antenna pointing at house.
For some reason mobile devices have trouble with it, as did an LG LRM-519 that I've since given up. PC clients have no trouble at all, get "5 bars" anywhere at home, but Omnia (or old iPaq H2215) will not connect through range expander. I believe trying messes up Omnia will not communicate over cellular afterwards (without hard reset). Earlier this week close to AP, no trouble switching from WiFi to cellular and back again. At home Omnia will connect to WiFi, but signal is weak, and useless as far as email and internet. I know if I get closer to router/AP will be able to connect and download/upload fine. But EVDO data still not working, reviewed all the settings again, deleted the wireless network settings, soft resets, *228 programming, changed around "My ISP", "Work", and "Connects to Internet" settings. Not sure about "Hidden Network" checkbox, thought at one time might have connected through range expander at home with 5 bars on Omnia with box checked on, but was not consistant. What does this setting mean?
I know a hard reset will fix the issue, until next time. Like to find the real answer to avoid again having to get it back to where I like.
"Next time" is here again, searching for the true answer before having to hard reset.
Thanks for your time and help.....
I've noticed that my [rooted] Vibrant frequently has trouble connecting, or staying connected, to WiFi networks.
At first I thought it was specific to my Verizon Actiontec WiFi router, however I've also noticed this at my office, where we use Motorola routers, as well as a few other locations that I frequent.
It's still possible that its a site-specific problem, but, less likely as I'm seeing this in a few locations.
Symptoms:
I configure my phone to connect to X network.
It successfully connects and all it fine.
I get out of range, it no longer sees network X and disconnects.
Some time later I return to my previous location and expect that in N seconds/minutes the phone will automatically reconnect.
A considerable amount of time passes and I notice it's still not connected.
I check the wifi settings and it days connection unsuccessful.
I tap the network, click connect and it works.
I've also noticed this after connecting to a network and the phone goes to 'sleep' or into an idle state. When a wake it up, it doesn't always automatically reconnect.
Anyone else seen this?
Any suggestions?
Many thanks.
i've had that problem. i am not sure what it was because I was rooted and Ryaned. I got sick of all the stupid lil bugs and had to wipe format and unroot. Now that I am back to the original condition, theres this sense of comfort knowing if something buggy happens, it's not "my" fault.
Thanks for the reply.
I noticed this prior to rooting and 'Ryan'ing'.
The capacitive buttons don't work all that well from time to time - specifically the Home button so maybe I should just exchange it. I'll call TMO tomorrow to see what they say.
