Hi,
I have a Cingular 8125 G4 that I can't seem to get the WiFi to work. I am totally not knowledeable in this. But, when I try to turn on the wireless setting or go to wireless LAN, I get nothing. Is this a feature that requires Unlocking? I just used "lokiwiz 03a" so that I could use it with my AT&T sim, but still no WiFi.
Thanks
Make sure you are not trying to connect with the MediaNet settings, as those settings use a proxy server. You need to go into the connections and select the My ISP connection that doesn't use the proxy.
Thank you, I will try that.

Hi all,
I have an XDAII from the Spanish carrier Movistar (TSM500). I want the device to access internet. I have WIFI in my office, so I would like to use this infrastructure in the device instead of GPRS.
I have a SDIO card from SOCKET that works correctly with the device and I can connect internet via proxy.
I would like to know how must I configure the connection settings in order to make it transparent. I mean, if there is WIFI the device must use WIFI it not the device has to use GPRS.
Does anybody know the settings I must to apply to the device network configuration (work,internet…) in order to get this WIFI, GPRS priorities?
Thanks and regards from Spain
...and to make your question more complicated, to setup wifi with proxy, gprs with no proxy and mms connection with no proxy. All these together?
so be it - manemoi
T,
Exactly!
Hey Manemoi, that's EXACTLY What I would like!
Is there a way to have the Magician choose this automatically? For instance, I can use my Sandisk SD WiFi 256 only when I set both my ISP and Work settings to an emtpy profile. It then seems to know it should use the WiFi connection available. I can then Internet, send mail Everything! Perfect! When I take out my WiFi card and activate my Active Synch with BlueTooth, it works too, Can internet over Active Synch without problems. But Mail will connect but then not send mail for some reason...
Whenever I want to use GPRS, I gave to goto connections and then manually change the modems there for ISP to my GPRS Modem Setting. Isn't there an easier way? Can't Internet explorer be told to use whatever conection available? Instead of ALWAYS connection to whatever is set under the My ISP setting?
I'd be interested if you ever got an answer to this as I am now at the same point

Anyon e work this out?
I find myself in a situation where I can not use the wifi on my new 8125. I have a new Cingular 8125 and I am having a tough time using it on my home wireless network. It keeps trying to use Cingular network. Is there a way to disable that or make the phone use my wireless home Lynsys router rather than go to Cingular?
When I turn on the wireless on the phone it finds my router but when I go to use IE or Opera and put in a web address it says Connecting to GPRS APN then it gives me an error after trying to connect to Cingular GPRS...and the error says Could no establish a network connection.
This must be an easy fix as my old HP Ipaq had no troblem hooking up with my home network...
I just went in and deleted the cingular settings in Connections. Or if you want, you can hard reset to start over and avoid the Cingular ext ROM by soft reseting when it says it will install the customizations in 3 seconds.
Not that I can add anything to this topic - I just wanted to point out my signature. (cingular is very spotty in my area)
BTW - I never had any conflict on my 8125 between WIFI & GPRS - it just worked.
Wireless nightmares
To fix this issue you need to switch your network settings from Media Net to My ISP.
Go to Start>Settings>Connections tab on bottom>Connections>Advanced tab on bottom>Select Networks>in the drop down box select My ISP.
You should now be able to connect to your home network.

you can also look at this post as it tells you all of the settings to make and/or change:

I'm connected, get an IP address, have hard-coded the DNS addresses to my SDIO wireless, set my network cards to "Work", but I still can't get anywhere through my wireless connection.
Tried tweaking registry between B/G and my router from mixed to G only.
No combination seems to work that I can find.
Cingular 8125 - base rom, Linksys 54G router.
Any ideas? I'm sure that I'm missing something but have no clue what.
Thanks.

Try changing the MediaNet connection to My ISP. That's in Select Networks on the Advanced tab of the Connections system setting.
Wouldn't that just re-connect it to MediaNet, though? While it may work, that doesn't sound like what I'm trying to accomplish. Just had to hard-reset anyway. Re-installing apps now. Maybe that will make a difference. All of the tweaks have been removed.

Try switching the power up to maximum
I have a T-Mobile MDA and I got this a few times, until I switched the WiFi power level up to maximum - now it always connects *and* can transfer data.

My interpretation of this issue is that MediaNet is a Cingular Proxy which won't allow connections that don't originate on Cingular's network (they don't want to be a proxy for the Internet at large). In the case of a WiFi connection, your public IP would not be on Cingular's network so your proxy settings in the MediaNet connection would be a black hole. Try the My ISP setting to see if that affects anything.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Still don't understand why people are having so many problems.
If you hard-reset the device then LEAVE EVERYTHING the way it is. The only thing you need to do is disable the Cingular proxy.
I got my 8125 2 hours before I had to run to the airport, all I did was remove the proxy (in the taxi to the airport) and when I got to the airport I was surfing on the airport wifi with no issue. Wifi has never given me a problem...just don't overcomplicate things.
That did it. I went into the Connections - Advanced tab, Network Settings. Changed Internet connection from MEdiaNet to Work and connected my WiFi. I was able to browse and sync.
I've placed it back for now because I want to use MediaNet when I'm not near a WiFi connection.
Just need to check on IE to see if I can change it to use Work before Internet.
That was the hint I needed. Now I just need to try it at home.
Thanks for the help.

I am having trouble getting online with WiFi. Under Connections I am using MediaNET, and I unchecked the proxy option, but it is still connecting through Cingular GPRS. Is there anything else I need to do to get Wifi to work correctly?
Go to the advanced tab in settings - connections.
Select "select networks" and replace "My ISP" by "My work network".
This way it will always connect via Wifi.
Cheers,

connecting to secure networks
thanks!
i can connect to public networks, but how about my secure network at home? I can't seem to connect to it for some reason...where do I enter the WEP key etc (if i have to)?
Using WiFi - Since you referenced Media Net, I am assuming you have the Cingular ROM. Upgrade it.
Then wifi works a heck of a lot better. I got it to work once or twice with the Cingular ROM, but it was endless playing with settings til it worked - and it was still slow. With the iMate rom, you just disable the proxy and switch connections and it works perfectly every time.
Plus, the performance increase you get warrants the ROM upgrade.
ROM
where can i DL the new ROM?
I have a proxy setup to allow me to connect to T-mobile's internet. I noticed that when the proxy is enabled in connection settings, my wifi does not connect to websites. However, when I disable the proxy from my gprs connection wifi works fine.
Is this normal? Is it maybe a bug with the rom im using?
Normal.
...
I have searched everywhere and instead of starting another post on the same issue I will post on this one.
I have the same issue, and understand its normal. Is there a way around this because re typing in proxy settings just to go on gprs internet is a annoying and incovienent. I want to be able to go on wifi and have everything work fine. When I disconnect wifi I can then access the internet via gprs proxy.
AT&T included both an enable proxy cab and a disable proxy cab...
However Im in the process of moving and my main computer is down...
When I get it back up I'll pull those cabs off of the phone, perhaps they will work for tmobile..beats going into the connection settings...
After all of this I found a fix.

Someone should really sticky this because this helps so much especially since I like not having to pay for my T-mobile internet via the proxy. Now I dont have to delete the proxy. My activesync and wifi work flawlessly as well as GPRS Edge.
